Tai Jiye was of course also worried, so he immediately arranged a carriage and took his sister-in-law and children back to the village.
Manager Min hurriedly brought two boxes of snacks to Zhuzhu, and did not forget to remind her that if she had nothing to do after returning home, she should let him know so that he would not worry about her.
Tai Jiye treated him as another brother from a different family, and smiled assuring him to be at ease.
As for the reason, Tai Jiye didn't say it, but subconsciously looked at his little niece.
Zhuzhu got her favorite butterfly cake and sat in Chen Ruiyang's arms, happily sharing it with each other. There were a lot of snack crumbs on her little mouth.
Tai Jiye felt more at ease. This time his family's business was taken away. Although he didn't say it, he was very anxious in his heart. He couldn't sleep at night and was discovered by his father when he was wandering in the yard.
Dad felt sorry for him and only said a few simple words.
It turns out that my little niece is the weather vane of the family. As long as she is happy every day and has enough food and drink, even if there are some twists and turns at home, the outcome will always be good.
I am afraid that my little niece will have a nightmare. Once she wakes up from the nightmare, disaster will surely happen.
Seeing my niece so happy right now, there must be nothing serious happening at home...
These days, Tai Yongning was accompanied by his mother and younger brothers and sisters. He was so happy that he couldn't help jumping for joy when walking home from school.
But after a short reunion, his family had to go back to the village. He was disappointed, but had a gentle smile on his face. He told his family to walk slowly on the road and put safety first.
Yang Lihua was reluctant to leave her son, but children are like birds; when they grow up, they must learn to fly away on their own. As parents, we cannot always stay by our children's side.
She patted her son's shoulder and said, "Don't be reluctant to wear the new jacket I brought you. Be careful not to catch a cold. Take care of yourself more often and avoid staying up late to study."
Tai Yongning nodded quickly, and then she got on the carriage...
The carriage rumbled all the way to the village entrance, and Tai Jizu came out to greet us before we even got off.
Yang Lihua walked all the way with a worried look on her face. Seeing that no one was around, she quickly asked, "What happened at home?"
Tai Jizu responded, "Don't worry, it's okay, it's just that Dad misses Zhuzhu."
Seeing his innocent smile, Yang Lihua felt relieved, although she was still curious.
As they entered the yard, the children shouted and went to wash and play, and Yang Lihua and others also entered the main house.
The old man didn't beat around the bush and told Yang Lihua and Tai Jiye directly, "Last night, there was more news from Kang Cheng. The cashmere business incident is over, and the people behind it will not be pursued, so the family is naturally no longer in danger. In addition, Kang Cheng has accepted an assignment to guard the border and the grasslands, and has already set off."
Yang Lihua was stunned for a moment, then became happy.
National affairs were too distant and unfamiliar to her as a woman.
But the family is no longer threatened by outsiders, and my nephew can openly join the border guards that he has always wanted to make friends with. It sounds like a good thing no matter how you listen to it!
"That's great! All those nobles are crowded in the palace, which is not a good thing no matter how you look at it. If Kang Cheng can get out, he won't be implicated."
The old man nodded and said, "Our family is still too weak to help Kang Cheng, let alone compete with those nobles. Therefore, we must be careful in what we say and do recently."
"Dad is right. I will discipline my children." Yang Lihua responded quickly.
Tai Jiye also chimed in, "Don't worry, Dad. I'll go to the city more often and keep an eye on the news."
Tai Jizu and Tai Jizong listened on the side, both smiling and not interrupting.
The two older brothers weren't as smart as their younger brother, and they always just took care of the family so their younger brother wouldn't have to worry about anything.
Sure enough, Tai Jiye went into the city again the next day. He talked with Manager Min during the day and listened to the lively conversation in the teahouse. In the evening, he accompanied his nephew who was studying. It was a rare and pleasant day for him.
In Taijia Village, every household has stored enough firewood and rice and has cleaned up their houses, preparing to spend the winter there.
The same was true in the rest of the villages, so for a moment, it seemed as if the world had quieted down, just waiting for a heavy snowfall to usher in the best time of the year...
In the border defense camp a hundred miles away, the soldiers and generals were not so relaxed.
Whether it's the bandits on the grasslands or the yellow-haired bandits of Rakshasa, they all go crazy for a while before winter comes. The reason is simple: to survive and to plunder more supplies to prepare for the winter!
Often, this is also a good time for border defense troops to accumulate military merits and train new recruits!
Even Yong'an fought several battles with the veterans in the camp and had several lives lost.
He Xiong was secretly worried that this kid might have some grudges, so he took the risk of being beaten with a military stick and took the kid to a haystack at night and drank two pots of liquor.
I didn't expect that Yong'an's eyes turned red after drinking too much. He danced with excitement when talking about killing the enemy. He wished that the whole world knew about his bravery. There was no fear or confusion at all!
In the end, He Xiong was so cruel that he forced him to drink another pot of wine, then threw him back into the tent and let him sleep soundly.
However, when the general learned about this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"This kid has a rough mind, but he's a natural born to lead troops in battle!"
He Xiong bared his teeth and complained, "What a pity that I stole all that good wine. Next time I see Uncle Tai, I'll definitely get it back!"
The two men didn't expect that their chance to collect the debt would come soon, but the object of the debt collection was not the Tai family, but the Sixth Prince!
Last time, the Third Prince was so scared that he peed his pants and ran back to the palace like a stray dog. He was made a laughing stock by tens of thousands of soldiers guarding the border and was ridiculed for several days.
Now, when they heard that the emperor had sent another sixth prince, everyone sneered on their faces and looked down on them in their hearts.
Without waiting for the general to speak, these lieutenant generals and deputy generals came up with a new way to show their power.
There are no more prisoners left to kill in the barracks, but there is no shortage of prey outside the border...
He Xiong is the general's confidant. In many cases, he is the general's other eyes and ears.
Naturally, he couldn't hide the fact that this was a show of force, and no one wanted to hide it from him.
After hearing this, he hesitated for a moment and then went to report to the general.
"General, we've come up with a plan to frighten the Sixth Prince and show him our power. Do you think we should stop this?"
The general was looking at a map. Although he was very familiar with the mountains and grasslands inside and outside the border, he would still stand in front of the map every time he was thinking, because the slightest mistake could lead to the loss of troops.
After listening to He Xiong's report, he was stunned for a moment and said with a smile, "Do you think the Sixth Prince will be frightened?"
He Xiong immediately shook his head and replied, "Although I've only met the Sixth Prince once and spent a day with him, I've noticed he's different from those nobles in Kyoto. He's docile on the outside but prudent on the inside, intelligent and adaptable. Most importantly... he's not a powerless man, and he's surrounded by loyal and brave guards."
"That's fine, what are you worried about!" The general waved his hand and turned to continue looking at the map.
Seeing this, He Xiong quickly took his leave.
