Xiao Fei calmed down and said, "Sister-in-law, you just said that you are discussing with your eldest brother about resettling the refugees?" She looked at the two of them hopefully, as if asking, eldest brother, how do you plan to resettle these people? What about the refugees?
Xiao Yi looked calm and said concisely: "I just give you a job and food to eat."
Nangong Yue heard it funny, but A Yi seemed to be particularly awkward when she met Sister Fei.
Nangong Yue collected her thoughts and explained: "Sister Fei, don't listen to what your elder brother says is easy. This is not easy to do. We have thought about it. There are a lot of wastelands in southern Xinjiang..."
Xiao Yi's plan is roughly to organize the refugees to go to the desert, and the Zhennan palace and the government will come forward to provide the refugees with temporary shelter and food for food and clothing. After a year or two, the wasteland will become fertile farmland, and the refugees will They can become farmers here, live and work in peace and contentment, and slowly form new villages.
Xiao Fei listened attentively and nodded from time to time.
What I thought of was just to temporarily accommodate some homeless people without relatives, like giving tea, and I didn’t think about long-term plans. But my eldest brother obviously thought much more deeply than me. What he hoped was that those poor civilians could live and work in peace and contentment. Live a new life.
This is what the prince of Southern Xinjiang needs to consider for the people of Southern Xinjiang, right?
But where is the father? !
This should be what my father should do as the King of Zhennan!
Thinking of her father's impatient expression just now, and her father's rebuke to her just now, Xiao Fei's expression was a little complicated. She didn't know whether she was more disappointed or sad.
She couldn't help but take another look at Xiao Yi, and said to herself, no matter how dandy and ignorant the eldest brother was in the past, the eldest brother now is no longer the same one! He is already the prince of Zhennan who can support the world in southern Xinjiang!
Now that the eldest brother had an idea, Xiao Fei said nothing more. She stood up, feeling relieved.
She blessed her body and said: "Brother, sister-in-law, it's getting late, I'll take my leave first."
Xiao Fei picked up the curtain and left. After the beaded chain curtain fell, it swayed left and right and hit each other, just like Xiao Yi's mood at the moment. Thinking about Xiao Fei, he really had an indescribable feeling in his heart: if Xiao Fei's appearance was not 50-60% similar to Xiao Fang's, he would almost doubt whether Xiao Fang had the wrong daughter.
"Ayi!" Nangong Yue glanced at him speechlessly, "I told you a long time ago that Sister Fei is a good child." It is easy to say that it is easy to survive in the mud, but in fact it requires hard work for ordinary people. The price of imagination. Xiao Fei is still just a delicate woman who has not yet had hair extensions, but it is really not easy for her to not follow the crowd and insist on doing what she thinks is right. Nangong Yue had to admire Xiao Fei's strength.
Only then did Xiao Yi realize that he had really muttered the words he just said. Que'er and Huamei, who were serving at the side, looked at each other. Both maids covered their mouths and snickered, unable to help but laugh.
The prince and the eldest daughter are really having fun!
"Xiao Fei is a good boy, what about me?" Xiao Yi looked sideways at Nangong Yue. The orange candlelight in the room softly sprinkled on his purple robe, and the golden cloud pattern embroidery was reflected in the light. It reflected a bright luster, making his handsome face even more bright and dazzling.
He winked at Nangong Yue frivolously, meaning, am I a bad boy?
Seeing that the prince's virtue was to play rogue to the prince's concubine, Que'er and Huamei both blushed and silently retreated.
Nangong Yue naturally noticed the actions of the maids. She was a little embarrassed and annoyed, and said angrily: "How do I know?"
Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, stood up from the Luohan bed, and squeezed in next to Nangong Yue. His handsome eyes were as bright as a torch, and he stared at her for a moment, and his slender fingers gently stroked her delicate cheeks.
"Really don't know?" Wherever his fingers touched, it felt hot.
Nangong Yue glanced away shyly.
"Why don't you speak?" There was a deep smile in his voice, and he smiled brightly,
Nangong Yue's little face turned even redder, her fair and flawless skin revealed a hint of pink, and her pink lips were as delicate as rose petals. Her eyelids were half-draped, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly, as if to agitate him. The inner butterfly wings.
Seeing Xiao Yi's heartbeat skip a beat, he couldn't help but stretched out his hands to hold her in his arms, sniffing the fragrance behind her ears, and thought to himself: Why does time pass so slowly? !
Suddenly, he let her go again, stood up, and said in a stiff tone: "I'm going to the outer study room. The matter of the Wuyin people and the refugees needs to be resolved as soon as possible..."
Nangong Yue took a few deep breaths and felt that her ears were no longer so hot, so she stood up and escorted Xiao Yi out of the house in person.
That night, Xiao Yi stayed outside in the study until late at night, and then returned to the house.
As Nangong Yue said to Xiao Fei, resettling the refugees is not as simple as he said before.
The problem of refugees cannot be solved overnight, but the Wuyin people cannot let it go lightly. Xiao Yi knew that the King of Zhennan did not like to launch an army rashly, so he simply did not report it and directly allocated 3,000 people from his own command, plus a thousand Xuanjia troops, and Yao Lianghang led the troops to crusade.
Xiao Yi didn’t pay attention to the small Wuyin clan.
It is the refugees who have a headache. This is probably going to be a protracted war.
Over the past few days, groups of refugees came to Luoyue City one after another. Some came to seek refuge with relatives and friends, but most of the refugees had no relatives or friends in Luoyue City. They just came blindly to the bustling towns, hoping that I can get a bite to eat here.
Xiao Yi hurriedly transferred a team of soldiers from the main camp and rushed over to set up nearly a hundred tents on a wasteland in the northwest outside Luoyue City. Finally, he temporarily solved the problem of housing the refugees, but this was not a long-term problem. plan.
So, Xiao Yi found some craftsmen and asked them to guide the refugees to build wooden houses, bamboo houses and the like as their own homes. The required materials were provided by the government for free. So within a few days, people were building houses within a few miles. It became a refugee village.
Refugees are coming in like a tide, more and more. Even if Xiao Yi has a plan to let the refugees open up wasteland, it will not take one or two days to complete, and these refugees have to eat every day and spend money on rice and noodles. The money was spent like water... Fortunately, although King Zhennan felt that Xiao Yi was too much, he still allocated a sum of money, so that Xiao Yi did not have to pay for it all.
The situation seems to be stable for the time being, but Xiao Yi also understands that this is not a long-term solution. In any case, these refugees must have a source of livelihood before they can truly settle down. Otherwise, it will be like walking on a thin tightrope. , if you are not careful, you will fall into the bottomless abyss and cause serious trouble.
In this delicate atmosphere, Yong Yang and Fu Yunyan finally returned to Luoyue City on the fifth day of June.
Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei personally welcomed the two of them into the guest house. It was a tiring journey. Although Yongyang was a martial arts practitioner, he was still old after all. He showed up without saying a few words to the three of them. Feeling tired, he simply went back to the house to rest, leaving Fu Yunyan in high spirits and talking to Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei about what he saw and heard during this trip.
"Ayue, Southern Xinjiang is really a delicious and fun place. The bamboo tube rice, rice noodles, steamed bait shreds, fried pea powder, carved plums, bone grasshoppers, water bean drums..." Fu Yunyan counted the treasures from his family, When it comes to food, it can be said that his eyes are shining and his face is even more like shining, "It's really unforgettable!"
"That's right!" She seemed to have thought of something and looked at Nangong Yue with burning eyes, "Ah Yue, have you ever eaten fried grasshoppers? I felt disgusting when I first saw them, and I thought how could insects be eaten? What? I didn’t expect it to taste crispy, delicious and mouth-watering.”
"..." Although Queer has been in southern Xinjiang for a while, he has never seen fried grasshoppers. When he heard that Fu Yunyan actually ate the insects, he was dumbfounded and got goosebumps all over his body. .
Huamei was more courageous, and said eagerly: "When I was in my hometown, a neighbor sister secretly gave me fried silkworm chrysalis. It was really crispy and tangy." As she spoke, she raised her neck and smacked her tongue. He paused twice, as if he was reminiscing.
Quie'er silently moved two steps to the side, looking at Huamei in disbelief with deceived eyes, as if to say: Huamei, I didn't expect you to be such a person!
Nangong Yue was also silent. She picked up the tea cup to cover the stiff corners of her mouth and thought to herself: Liu Niang is still the same Liu Niang!
Fu Yunyan was still talking gushingly: "My third brother has almost become a local snake in Kailian City now. He also took me to visit some villages near Kailian City. It turns out that there are small ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang. Here, as long as a man and a woman look at each other, they can get engaged on the spot..." This is something that is unthinkable in the royal capital. Even ordinary people have to pay attention to the orders of their parents and the words of the matchmaker.
Fu Yunyan had a look of amazement on his face, and the maids were also speechless.
Although Nangong Yue has never seen it, she has also read the introduction of some small tribes in Southern Xinjiang in "The Geography of Southern Xinjiang", so she is not that surprised.
After all, Xiao Fei is from Southern Xinjiang. She has heard a lot and seen a lot. She nodded and said: "In addition to the Han people, there are dozens of tribal groups in Southern Xinjiang. These ethnic groups have different rules and habits. I once heard of a small The tribe can have one woman and multiple husbands, but they all live in the mountains and rarely marry outsiders."
Fu Yunyan listened with great interest, clapped his hands and smiled: "Southern Xinjiang is indeed interesting, it seems that the people in the royal capital are all molded from the same mold! I must stay longer before leaving!"
When this Liu Niang got happy, she almost forgot that her wedding was coming, and she wanted to stay longer! Nangong Yue couldn't help but put down the tea cup in a funny way and said, "Liu Niang, it seems that you have had a very interesting time these days."
Fu Yunyan nodded, shook her head, and sighed: "I have been to many places, but my grandmother just refused to take me to the military camp." As she said this, she pursed her lips in annoyance.
Women are not allowed to come and go at any time in the military camp. Although Fu Yunyan was curious and full of longing, in the end he still did not persuade Yongyang to secretly take her in for a look. The look of annoyance on his face made Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei both purse their lips. laugh.
However, Fu Yunyan has always been tolerant, and he quickly cheered up. She seemed to have thought of something, and said anxiously to Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei: "Ah Yue, Ah Fei, my grandmother and I saw a lot of refugees on the way back to Luoyue City this time, and there were four or five men with wooden sticks and kitchen knives. They just want to rob us!"
Fu Yunyan didn't tell the fate of those refugees, and she didn't need to. Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei also guessed it. Without Fu Yunyan's intervention, it would be easy for Zhou Dacheng and the accompanying guards to deal with a few reckless men who were both powerful and powerful!
Nangong Yue frowned slightly, feeling a little worried. Before, she was worried that some of the refugees would turn into bandits, but now it seems that her worries were not unfounded. If one person was not handled well, the refugee problem would get worse! She would still have to mention this matter to A Yi later.
Seeing that Nangong Yue looked wrong, Fu Yunyan said again: "Ah Yue, what happened recently?"
Nangong Yue told the story about the attack on Lijia Village in a few words, which made Fu Yunyan suddenly realize and sigh.
Fu Yunyan thought for a while and asked: "Ah Yue, by the way, Ah Fei's tea shop has opened... Should we build a porridge shop next to the tea shop? I'll pay for it!"
"It's not necessary yet." Nangong Yue said, "When the refugees arrive in Luoyue City, the government will provide them with ten days of food rations for them to rest. After ten days, whether they are working in poverty or working, they can always get a Two meals a day." Although the refugees are pitiful, if they only rely on aid and do not engage in production, they are no different from lazy people. After all, in Luoyue City, as long as they are willing to live a down-to-earth life, their lives will always have a head start.
Fu Yunyan did not force anything, and said enthusiastically, "Then I will leave my money to Ah Fei's tea shop to buy medicinal materials! Ah Fei, when will you take me to have a look!"
Fu Yunyan seemed to be really energetic and not tired at all from the journey. He was even more energetic than Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei.
The little maids on the side couldn't help but said to themselves: Fortunately, their master is not as "lively" as the sixth girl of the Fu family. The little maids couldn't help crying tears of sympathy for Fu Yunyan's maid.
Nangong Yue saw that Fu Yunyan could hardly sit still and was eager to set off immediately, so he jumped in front of her and suggested: "Liu Niang, why not do this? Let's go to the tea shop together tomorrow morning. You can still go there." A trip to Mazu Temple. A few days ago, I was busy with banquets, and I couldn’t take you to have a good stroll in Luoyue City."
"It's a deal." Fu Yunyan flicked his fingers boldly.
Tomorrow’s itinerary is now finalized!
Early in the morning of the second day, the three girls left the house in a carriage. They did not forget Han Qixia, and went to Linzhai to pick up Han Qixia first, and then went to the North City Gate.
It is already the fifth day that the tea shop has been opened, and everything is already in order. Those who go in and out of the North City Gate every day know that there are two bamboo sheds here, and they don’t know which wealthy family owns them. They serve tea there every day, and they never say which family they belong to. .
Many people are accustomed to going to a tea shop to take a rest and drink herbal tea to refresh themselves, which can make them feel refreshed.
When Nangong Yue and the others' carriage stopped, two women walked out of the tea shop. The old woman with gray hair couldn't help but sigh: "I don't know which family has done good deeds and returned..." Leave no name!"
The daughter-in-law beside the old woman followed: "Mom, I quietly asked some of the helpers, but I didn't expect that they didn't even know who was in charge of the family. They just accepted their wages to help here."
The old woman twisted the Buddhist beads in her hand and chanted: "Boss and daughter-in-law, this is a family that truly does good deeds. It must be a home that accumulates good deeds!"
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law gradually drifted away, and Xiao Fei in the carriage felt a little embarrassed, but also a little satisfied.
She finally did something beneficial to the people of southern Xinjiang... Although compared to her elder brother in repelling the southern barbarians and resettling the refugees, what she did was only small things, but as the old saying goes: "Everything in the world is beneficial to the people." If you do, you should stay true to your roots and go deep into your roots." Just start from what you can do step by step.
Xiao Fei withdrew her gaze and looked into the smiling eyes of Nangong Yue and the others. Fu Yunyan praised without hesitation: "Sister Fei, you are so capable!" It's really not easy for her to be able to do this.
Xiao Fei became more and more stunned and said calmly: "Sister-in-law, Liu Niang, Sister Xia, how about we set off to Mazu Temple now?"
Nangong Yue and the others naturally agreed, and the carriage moved forward slowly...
The Mazu temple is called Anlan Palace and is located in the center of the city. Although it is not the largest Mazu temple in southern Xinjiang, it is the one with the longest construction history.
Xiao Fei smiled and introduced the history of Anlan Palace and Mazu. The east side of Southern Xinjiang is close to the sea. Many people make a living from the sea. Mazu is the "goddess of the sea". She often guides merchants and boats in times of high winds and waves, turning misfortune into good fortune. Therefore, there are many believers in Southern Xinjiang, not as many as those in the faith. There are few people who believe in Buddha.
Although today is not a special day, there is still an endless stream of believers coming to Anlan Palace, and the smoke is lingering.
Xiao Fei led Nangong Yue and the others to the main hall, where a huge stone statue of Mazu was enshrined.
Fu Yunyan looked at the lifelike stone statue in the hall in surprise and raised his head with difficulty. This stone statue was at least two feet high, which was taller than a three-story restaurant.
After the four people worshiped Mazu, they walked out of the main hall.
"Every year on March 23rd and September 9th, Luoyue City holds a grand ceremony to worship Mazu. It is said that the ceremony is magnificent and one of the most lively festivals in Luoyue City. Unfortunately, Liu Niang, you may not be able to make it. "Xiao Fei said with some regret.
Anlan Palace covers an area of more than ten acres. In addition to the main hall, side halls, and rear halls, there are also more than a dozen palaces and pavilions, dozens of rooms and rooms, courtyards, ponds, rockeries, greenhouses, etc. , the scenery is good, so many believers will wander around the temple or have some fast food after offering incense.
The four girls had nothing to do anyway, so they visited all the palaces and pavilions in the temple, and then had a vegetarian meal in the wing of Mazu Temple. Although the vegetarian meal is simple, it tastes surprisingly good.
Even Fu Yunyan, who has always been passionate about sex, couldn't help but praise: "A Fei, the master here is really good at his craftsmanship. If he were in the royal capital, I would definitely invite him to be my master!"
"The vegetarian dishes of Anlan Palace are also very famous in Luoyue City." Xiao Fei smiled slightly.
Han Qixia smiled and added: "The chef in the kitchen here used to be a chef in a restaurant, and he is best at vegetarian dishes."
Her words attracted the attention of all the girls. Just as they were about to ask her how she knew, they heard a female voice coming from outside the room: "Thank you, Miss Han, for the compliment!" At the same time, a middle-aged woman in Tsing Yi said A man came in carrying a wooden tray, with a pot of hot tea and several white porcelain cups on the tray.
From the woman's tone, she seemed to be very familiar with Han Qixia.
The woman asked with a smile: "Miss Han, how is Doctor Lin doing lately?"
Nangong Yue and the other three all looked at Han Qixia. Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "Sister Xia, does this aunt also know my grandfather?"
Han Qixia nodded and introduced with a smile: "This is the temple blessing here - Aunt Gu. My grandfather and I happened to pass by Anlan Palace half a month ago. Aunt Gu happened to be hit by the heat and fainted... ”
The ancient lady's eyes swept across the girls, and finally stopped on Nangong Yue, "It turns out that this lady is also Dr. Lin's granddaughter." She praised enthusiastically, "Doctor Lin's medical skills are really extraordinary. , they only gave me an injection, and I woke up. They also gave me some herbal tea to relieve the heat, which was really kind and kind."
Hearing her grandfather being praised, Nangong Yue couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth with a smile.
As she spoke, Aunt Gu picked up the teapot and poured tea for the girls. The bright yellow-green tea soup poured down the spout, exuding a fresh fragrance. The girls' noses twitched and they smelled the fragrance and looked around.
Han Qixia introduced: "The white orchid tea here is very famous, and people often come here. Some tea merchants want to buy it and sell it in Wangdu and Jiangnan, but they are all rejected by Aunt Gu, who only uses it. Entertaining pilgrims."
The maids helped Aunt Gu serve the white orchid tea to the masters. Nangong Yue held the tea cup, smelled the tea aroma first, and then took a sip. The aroma of this scented tea was fresh and long-lasting, and the taste was rich and mellow. It was indeed It is top grade, no wonder it is famous far and wide.
Aunt Gu added enthusiastically: "Everyone, please don't be polite and drink more. For us women, drinking more scented tea can beautify the skin, refresh the heart and refresh the spleen..."
At this moment, another figure appeared at the door. Everyone in the wing subconsciously looked over and saw a familiar tall figure walking in. The maids hurriedly curtsied and saluted.
When Nangong Yue's eyes met the person's, a smile slowly bloomed on his handsome face, as bright as the spring sun and radiant.
"Ayi!" Nangong Yue smiled happily and stood up, "You are here."
I heard yesterday that they were going to Mazu Temple, and Xiao Yi immediately said that he would come to pick her up.
How long after returning to southern Xinjiang, Xiao Yi was really busy and couldn't go shopping with her. Naturally, he had to spare some time this time. So, he hurried to the military camp before dawn today, and hurried back again. Fortunately, it was not too late...
Fu Yunyan and Han Qixia on the side exchanged a secret look, with a hint of teasing and teasing in their expressions.
Xiao Yi walked to Nangong Yue's side with a smile and said: "There is nothing to do today, so I came here earlier, and we can have a nice stroll later." He had automatically ignored several other people in his mind.
Aunt Gu couldn't help but take another look at Xiao Yi. This young man's appearance was so outstanding. Standing side by side with the young lady, they looked like the sun and the moon reflecting each other. People couldn't help but admire what a golden boy and girl they were.
She used to think that Miss Han was just a commoner, but now looking at the demeanor of her friends, Miss Han was probably not an ordinary person.
Aunt Gu graciously entertained everyone to drink tea, and enthusiastically gave them each a can of scented tea.
Nangong Yue asked someone to serve another vegetarian dish, and after Xiao Yi had used it, he left the side room.
Chatting and walking all the way, walking leisurely towards the backyard. At a glance, the four young girls all have extraordinary temperaments, but each has their own characteristics. Nangong Yue is elegant, Fu Yunyan is bright, Xiao Fei is pretty, and Han Qixia is bright. Originally, this The four beauties were already very eye-catching when walking in the temple. Now coupled with the beautiful Xiao Yi, they became even more prominent. Even the beautiful flowers and flowers wherever they passed became a foil, attracting a lot of attention from all around.
Furthermore, these four girls and one young man seemed to have extraordinary backgrounds, and the believers who came to offer incense secretly speculated that they were nobles from some house!
The backyard of Anlan Palace is almost a garden, with green bamboo forests, rugged rockeries, and blooming flowers. A refreshing fragrance fills the air... It is already early summer, and the scorching sun is a little dazzling. The maids were busy holding paper umbrellas for their master.
Xiao Yi naturally took the paper umbrella from Baihui's hand and held it for Nangong Yue.
But even so, the girls were still sweating while walking.
There is a small, clear lake in front. Many willow trees are planted beside the lake. The branches of the willow leaves are flowing in the breeze like a girl's long hair, elegant and elegant.
"There is a pavilion in front, why don't we take a rest inside. We can also enjoy the lotus!" Han Qixia suggested.
Before she finished speaking, a familiar female voice came from behind, as delicate and soft as silk: "Brother, sister-in-law, sister..."
Looking following the sound, I saw two young girls walking up the path on the right hand side. One was the same age as Xiao Fei, with her black hair tied into a bun and wearing a simple and elegant moon-white dress. Beautiful and delicate, as graceful as the moon, she is the concubine of the palace, the second girl Xiao, Xiao Rongxuan; the other is slightly older, with a beautiful appearance and elegant temperament. She wears a peach-pink brocade pattern with hanging legs and tangled branches. Her skin is as delicate and white as porcelain. She is Fang Zimao, the fifth girl.
