Beautiful step by step

Chapter 147

It was only later that Wei Wei found out how difficult the circumstances under which this group of timely reinforcements were squeezed out.

Compared with Liangzhou City's soldiers approaching the city, Youzhou City has only a small Oirat army.But relying on the secret passage under the palace, they started a guerrilla attack with the Youzhou defenders.The enemy is in the dark, and the Northwest Army, which is often patrolling, sees a fire somewhere, and rushes over there, only to see a place of dead bodies, and the instigator has already slipped into a corner through a secret passage.

Under such a premise, the difficulty of defending Youzhou can be imagined.

Despite this, Governor Yuan, who was in Youzhou, and Uncle Wei made repeated plans to reduce the number of troops defending the city as much as possible, and then sent the rest to Liangzhou.And because the Oirats invaded suddenly this time, there was obviously a shadow of a leaker in their whereabouts. Governor Yuan did not dare to speak out.

At the critical moment, Liangzhou City was finally defended, but Youzhou City fell into dire straits.

After setting up the firefighting work, Yan Heng, who hadn't rested for half a month, didn't even have time to go home and take a look, and took people to Youzhou non-stop.

Wei Wei stayed in Liangzhou alone, and while restoring state education and business, he was also responsible for part of the disaster relief work.Although the night when the Oirats attacked the city, the people in the city felt a little uncomfortable when they saw their children being trained by her as soldiers to resist with swords.However, when the enemy troops retreated and their own children who were hidden in the cellar returned safely, everyone was grateful for her actions.

This can be regarded as unintentional, because Wei Wei forcibly stipulates that the enrollment of state schools must be one male and one female.The probability of twins is very small, so the children who come to study in each family are generally two or three years apart.And this age difference caused one of the two to hide in the cellar.

In this coincidence, basically every family benefits.Seeing his youngest son who still looks innocent and unaware of what has happened these days, the parents have mixed feelings in their hearts.There was such a safe place, but Mrs. Yan herself did not hide in it. Instead, she and Commander Yan stood together to meet the enemy.Everyone is like this, so it is not justified for us to criticize.

Especially when Wei Wei set up a porridge shop in the state preschool.Drinking her porridge and gnawing on her steamed buns, ordinary people miss her even more.

"Madam Yan is a very good person."

"That's right, she was the one who ran the state school. My son studied there for a year, and he has become a lot more sensible."

"Don't tell me if you understand or not, the new padded jacket on my child is still a gift from others."

After the catastrophe, after personally experiencing the harshness of the Wala people, compared with the strict regulations of Wei Wei before, they can no longer be more gentle.People are forgetful animals. After forgetting the unpleasant things, everyone realized that Mrs. Yan had done so much for them without knowing it.

Wei Wei, who had been busy all the time, found that she suddenly became a heartthrob.

Whenever she goes out, the common people who walk towards her always have grateful smiles on their faces.The light ones greeted her with a smile, and politely asked her if she had eaten; further, they would always hand her the vegetables, eggs, coarse handkerchiefs, etc. Every time she appeared in the porridge shed, she would attract crowds of onlookers, and those who received the porridge did not leave, but just sat around drinking and smiling at her.

Looking at the small mercury mirror she carried with her, although her face was beautiful, it was still the same as before, and there was no flower blooming on her face.

"What's going on?" She was confused by these people.

Holding a bunch of things sent by the common people, including many small things with a strong Liangzhou style, Gu Yu smiled and said: "Everyone is grateful to your lord and madam, now that your lord has gone to Youzhou, most people can't thank you, so it's all to your madam gone."

It's fine if she doesn't say anything, but after Wei Wei finished speaking, she was even more at a loss.

"What do I have to be thankful for?"

Gu Yu looked surprised: "Madam runs state schools, protects children, opens porridge sheds, organizes officials and wealthy merchants in Liangzhou City to provide disaster relief, and the adults hardly sleep for half a month, and save Liangzhou City under the circumstances of the absolute disparity in military strength. , shouldn't this be thanks?"

"From the perspective of ordinary people, it seems that they are all worthy of gratitude."

However, Wei Wei didn't think so at all, maybe because of her different education, she also had a strange way of looking at many things.If you have to say it in detail, in her heart, people should always be grateful, and don't take other people's goodness for granted.But gratitude is different from gratitude. If you want to be grateful, you must really do a lot more.

In her opinion, Yan Heng and she are both officials of Dai Viet.Both power and salary of officials come from the people, so it is also their duty to serve the people and keep the peace.In other words, in Wei Wei's education, there is no such thing as an official and a master, but there are only people's servants.Officials and people are equal, as long as everyone does their job well, there is no need for anyone to thank anyone or give someone something.

"how can that be?"

After hearing her opinion, Gu Yu looked as if he had seen a ghost.

"How can we people be compared with adults and madam?"

Seeing her say this sentence like the truth, Wei Wei felt helpless in his heart.Although she herself has weird ideas, she is not too idealistic.Not to mention that most people in this era think this way, that is, many years later, in the democratic era where she lived, wouldn't bureaucracy still prevail?

There's no way, she can't change this matter alone.

Not overly entangled in her heart, seeing the table full of gifts from the common people, Wei Wei was still very happy to learn that she was very popular.

"Tomorrow's porridge will be boiled longer, and I will add more red dates and goji berries for everyone to supplement."

She accepts things, but ordinary people's money is hard money, and she will never take it for nothing.Although she is a businessman in essence, a gentleman loves money in a proper way, and this deep-rooted thing in her bone marrow will never change.

Gu Yu responded, with a dissatisfied expression on his face: "Madam, if this continues, the little money at home will be empty."

"It's okay. When the grain store is built in the past, people who have eaten our porridge will come here to buy rice and noodles. It won't take long for them to earn back."

Seeing her blessed face, Wei Wei, who was making crackling abacus, smiled ambiguously: "It's really not easy, Gu Yu has also learned to count carefully. It's better to catch up sooner than later, and Youzhou will be pacified after a while." Now, when Zhu Zi is back, we will also handle your marriage, and Ah Heng and I will officiate for you in person."

Mentioning the marriage, Gu Yu stomped her feet, her face flushed with shame.

"lady……"

Across the courtyard wall, the crying voice of the Qian family could be heard not far away, and the joy on his face dissipated a little, Wei Wei said calmly: "Liangzhou City looks like it is now, something should be done to add joy."

After nodding her head in agreement, she belatedly realized what joy was, and the rosiness on Gu Yu's face instantly dyed the roots of her ears.

"Oh, let's not talk about it. Your Excellency's letter should be here soon. I'll go get it for Madam first."

When Wei Wei heard the letter, she didn't have the mood to tease Gu Yu any more. After finishing the accounting books on the table, she sat in front of the window with her chin resting, looking expectantly outside the courtyard.It has been seven full days since Yan Heng left, counting the days, this letter should have been sent when he arrived in Youzhou City.I don't know what the situation is like over there, and I don't know if he has come up with a countermeasure.

He opened the letter eagerly, this time he seemed to be very busy, his usual serious handwriting was a bit scribbled, and the content of the letter was also very short.

"I have arrived in Youzhou, and the war will end in a few days. Ah Mao is alone in Liangzhou and needs to take good care of herself."

This short sentence calmed Wei Wei's bewildered heart.Although he didn't say anything about the situation in Youzhou, or what solution he came up with, since he said that the battle would be over in a few days, he must be absolutely sure.

There is no better news than this!
With bright eyes, she flattened the letter paper and carefully folded it in half, then opened the head of the bed and took out a small box.This casket was new to Youzhou, and it was a gift when I bought a jade ring in an antique shop.The box that had been empty before was now neatly packed with letters.Putting the new one beside the pillow, Wei Wei took out the few inside, unfolded and read one by one.

Different from the brevity this time, the previous ones can be described as detailed and long-winded, so long-winded that they even determined what she would eat for three meals a day, which clothes she should change in the cold weather today, and which bun to wear with her clothes. down.And repeatedly stated that at this time he asked Uncle Wei about the best recipe.In this way, you can only gain strength without gaining weight, and it can also replenish your energy.

In the past, Wei Wei would definitely not be able to bear being controlled from head to toe by one person, but when that person was replaced by Yan Heng, she felt sincerely happy.

Especially when she opened the closet and saw the dazzling array of clothes sorted.The skirts, jackets, and accessories have all been matched casually, and when you put them on in a dignified and elegant way to show your figure, the sweetness in your heart can't stop surging up.

"Aheng..."

Obediently and obediently changed her clothes, she walked to the desk and picked up the pen.This time she did not write a reply first, but went to the capital to write a letter first.Not to Wei Mama and A Yun, but to Guangyuan Building.

Yan Heng's words on the day of defending the city remained in his heart, and he actually got the divorce papers earlier?Want to dump her?There are no doors!The evil things left in Chen Bo'an's place must be completely destroyed, I believe Chen Bo'an will also support her choice.

A letter explained the cause and effect, and after it was sealed and sent out, she wrote another reply letter, tirelessly telling him all the events that happened in Liangzhou City, and of course the most important thing was the marriage between Gu Yu and Zhuzi.

Later, it was said that after this letter from home arrived, Zhuzi who learned of the incident was extraordinarily heroic in combat, and he was the one who lit the first fire in the entire tunnel.

Forgot to mention one thing, fire attack is the countermeasure that Yan Heng came up with.Aren't the Oirats scurrying around through tunnels like underground mice?Then block all the entrances of the tunnel, pile wet firewood at the entrance and pour smoke into it vigorously.It's not that no one has thought of this move, but it has been rejected in the past as too cruel and hurtful.

Yan Heng, who just went on a killing spree in Liangzhou, didn't have any scruples at all. Anyway, he was cheated once, and he was cheated twice.Overcoming all arguments, he ordered people to carry firewood, just one word: burn!

And when the war ended and countless corpses with tragic deaths were carried out from the underground of Youzhou City, Yan Heng's reputation as iron and blood resounded throughout the Northwest.
