Yang Haiyan was reading Yang Dahua's letter, while Qin Fang was also reading the letter sent by Han Zhen.
Han Zhen mentioned in the letter that the situation at the border was becoming increasingly tense, and the remaining barbarians had started to harass the border again for some unknown reason. Logically, after some barbarians surrendered, the remaining barbarians would surrender again depending on the situation, but judging from their situation, they had no intention of surrendering. According to Han Zhen's speculation, a border war was not far away.
Secondly, speaking of the matter of the Huangliang franchisee, the Yonghe Marquis's Mansion gave their family the quota of one of the county agents, and Han Zhen knew that this was due to Qin Fang's blessing.
Potato flour and sweet potato flour were proposed by the Qin family. Han Zhen and Qin Fang have a good relationship and come from the same place. This is known to everyone, so Yonghe Marquis Mansion gave one of the county agents to Han Zhen. As smart as Han Zhen is, he naturally knows the reason.
In the original plot, it was Han Zhen who became a thousand-man commander first, and then it was Han Zhen who was glorious step by step. However, after Yang Haiyan traveled through time, Qin Fang walked ahead of Han Zhen. Later, Qin Fang was transferred, and Han Zhen's trajectory began to return.
But some things have moved, and they are not far away.
For example, Yang Dahua did not get the shop of the wife of the prince, but she got the shop of Yang Haiyan. Although she bought it with money, it also explains the restoration of the track from another perspective.
After reading the letter, Qin Fang burned it again. Nothing is safer than destroying corpses and traces. Even if there is nothing substantial in the letter, it is hard to guarantee that it will be used to make a fuss one day. Qin Fang is a careful person. After Du Ke's guidance, he became more cautious. After
leaving the study to find Yang Haiyan, Qin Fang found out that she went to the Han family to deliver the New Year's gift, so he went there again.
In the past, Han Zhen and Yang Dahua were in poor conditions, with limited monthly allowances, and could not afford to send good things. Now Han Zhen has become a captain, with money, and the New Year's gifts he sent are better and more. In addition to the matter of the imperial grain agent, the New Year gifts sent this time are particularly large.
There are a lot of game, furs, and traveling merchants at the border, so the things sent by the Korean family this time are mainly bacon and furs. In addition, there are two pairs of shoes made of fur, just like modern snow boots. These shoes were made by Yang Dahua herself. When she was pregnant, Yang Haiyan gave her a jacket. She always remembered this friendship, but she couldn't give a decent gift at that time. Now she can afford furs and is willing to buy furs, so she sent a pair of fur shoes.
"You are out in such a cold day." Qin Fang stepped forward and rubbed the little woman who was looking at the New Year gifts, "Aren't you cold?"
Why not? It felt like the air he exhaled would freeze immediately, but: "Look at the New Year gifts sent by Sister Dahua. Look at these shoes and this fur. I'll use this fur to make fur shoes for everyone. It's very warm." She had already changed into fur shoes and stepped on the ground a few times. "I'll make you a few more pairs of fur gloves, so your hands won't be cold when you go out."
Qin Fang was not afraid of the cold. It was common to take a cold shower in winter. When he was in the barracks before, who had the time to heat water for a shower? So over time, he was no longer afraid of the cold. In addition, Yang Haiyan had been taking herbal baths from time to time in the past two years, so his body was not very good. But of course he would not refuse his wife's kindness, and happily agreed: "You are thoughtful. I see there are a lot of furs, you should also make a few warm clothes. You are so afraid of the cold, you must dress warmly." In fact, he has never seen anyone who is as afraid of the cold as Yang Haiyan.
Yang Haiyan said: "Yeah." How could she not be afraid of the cold? From the modern era with air conditioning to the ancient times when even cotton was compact, it would be strange if she was not afraid of the cold.
On the third day after receiving the New Year's gift from the Han family, they received another New Year's gift, this time from the Yonghe Marquis' Mansion. The New Year's gift sent was several times more than that of the Han family. As for why the New Year's gift was sent, it was because of the matter of the royal grain franchisee in Renzhou.
Now, they have to prepare two New Year's gifts.
Speaking of which, based on her relationship with the Han family, Yang Haiyan felt that practical New Year gifts would be better, but the Yonghe Marquis's Mansion had already sent them, so now it would take some time to prepare the New Year gifts.
"Ah..." Yang Haiyan sighed, "Madame Lian, what do you think we should prepare for the New Year gifts to be sent to Renzhou?"
Madame Lian said, "The New Year gifts from the Marquis' Mansion are very generous, and I can't think of anything for the moment. But I think it's more appropriate to be conventional."
Yang Haiyan said, "It's indeed more appropriate to be conventional. So, take some potato flour and sweet potato flour from the factory, and we'll make some dried noodles and send them over. I'll draw a few manuscripts, and you can ask the embroiderer to make a few clothes according to my manuscripts. The gift doesn't have to be heavy, just something practical." If it weren't for the matter of the Huangliang franchisee, it is estimated that the Yonghe Marquis' Mansion would not have thought of sending them New Year gifts.
Renzhou, the family of the Border Guard.
It's the New Year, and everyone is busy. Compared with ordinary families, the Han family can be a little more relaxed because they have servants. But because she got the quota of Huangliang County City agent this year, she is even busier.
But Yang Dahua likes this kind of busyness, because being busy means making money.
Speaking of which, their family conditions are good this year. Although she borrowed money from the bank and bought Haiyan's farm and shop, the farm raises poultry, eggs, duck eggs, chicken and duck meat can all be sold. The shop is in the county, not only selling these things, but also vegetables from the farm. Although there is no broccoli, cauliflower, etc. from Haiyan, people in the town also need to eat ordinary vegetables. Therefore, the family conditions are really good this year, and Yang Dahua is already very satisfied.
"My husband is back." Yang Dahua was sorting out the New Year gifts sent from Yunxiang County when she saw Han Zhen coming back from work.
Han Zhen stepped forward and said, "Do you need my help? Is this a purchased New Year gift?"
Yang Dahua said, "No, go see the lady, this is a New Year gift from Haiyan. Oh, there's a letter over there, put it in your study."
Han Zhen nodded, "Okay." He said, and went to the study.
There was a private guard at the door of the study. As a thousand-household leader, he also had a private guard.
"Sir." Seeing Han Zhen coming, the private guard saluted and said, "The letter sent by General Qin is already on your desk."
Han Zhen nodded and said, "When I'm not back, keep the letter with you and give it to you when I come back."
Private guard: "Yes."
As they spoke, the two of them had already entered the study: "Tell me about the things in Yunxiang County."
Private guard: "Yes." So he told everything he had inquired about in Yunxiang County, including the matter of Beast Mountain that General Qin had resolved when he first arrived in Yunxiang County, as well as the matter of military camp land, the matter of the horse farm... In short, when General Qin arrived in Yunxiang County, he gave the common people a lot of work to do.
Han Zhen listened to the private guard's story with a smile on his face. He knew that the brother who shared life and death with him was no longer the former captain Qin Fang. His status was getting higher and higher, and the things he did were getting different. But one thing remained unchanged. Although his status was getting higher and higher, their relationship did not change, and the feeling he gave him did not change.
"This kid..." After becoming an official appointed by the court, he became a parent official. Han Zhen was happy for him.
Han Zhen quickly read Qin Fang's letter. Qin Fang wrote about what happened in Yunxiang County in the letter. Of course, he didn't write about gunpowder. One reason was the emperor's secret order, and the other was that some things would not be good for Han Zhen if he knew them. But he did write about his teacher Du Ke, which Han Zhen's private guard also found out about in Yunxiang County. But the most proud thing Qin Fang wrote was that he was going to be a father.
Children are the continuation of life. Not only was Qin Fang happy, but Han Zhen was also happy for him.
However, Qin Fang also mentioned some things in the court in the letter. For example, he was responsible for some secret missions, but these secret missions might affect the interests of others in the court, so he asked Han Zhen to be careful in everything.
When Han Zhen saw this reminder, a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes. Qin Fang did not mention what secret mission it was, but Han Zhen knew that this secret mission affected the interests of others in the court, so this mission must be not simple. He and Qin Fang were good friends and came from the same place. What if others could not deal with Qin Fang and turned to deal with him?
Han Zhen understood a little. From now on, in front of others, he would keep a proper distance from Qin Fang, at least... there would be no need to contact each other openly. Thinking of this, Han Zhen had a plan in his mind. After
reading the letter, Han Zhen burned the letter directly. Like Qin Fang, he did not like to leave evidence to be gossiped. After burning the letter, he walked out of the study and went to see the lady. The little girl who was born in August last year is already one and a half years old and can walk. Seeing her father coming, she ran towards him with her two short legs and threw herself into his arms.
The little girl was very beautiful. It is true that a daughter looks like her father. Han Zhen was good-looking, and his daughter was like a replica of him, so Han Zhen doted on this daughter especially. Parents are naturally partial to children who look like themselves and love them more.
Han Zhen picked up the little girl and hid her in his coat: "Let's go and see your mother."
The little girl hugged her father's neck and kissed him randomly on the face, which made Han Zhen laugh.
Yang Dahua saw the father and daughter coming and said with a smile: "Haiyan brought a lot of girls' clothes, the styles are very beautiful, I will wash them, and when the clothes are dry, they can be worn by the daughter."
Han Zhen: "I listen to you."
Yang Dahua took out the clothes: "Baby, this is the new clothes your aunt gave you, which one do you want to wear?"
Although the little girl is only one and a half years old, she knows that it is beautiful. She looked left and right, and finally took a fancy to the goose yellow clothes with cute little animals embroidered on them, so she held the clothes and refused to let go.
Yang Dahua saw this, touched her head and said: "Okay, let's wear this one first."
Han Zhen looked at the mother and daughter, and his heart was very satisfied. He had a hard life in his childhood, and even getting married was a luxury, but now, he has become a father.
In a blink of an eye, it was March after the new year, and Qin Fang had been in office in Yunxiang County for a year.
That day, Qin Fang went to find Yang Haiyan anxiously: "Yanyan, the teacher wrote that the capital is a bit chaotic."
