It was snowing heavily in Yecheng, and while Lu Su was talking about it, in the small courtyard in the city, Cai Zhenji carefully pushed a coal cake into the heater in front of her.

Seeing the coal cake gradually turning red as it was licked by the flames, and the sweetness filling the small earthen jar sitting on the stove, she sighed lightly:

"I'm lucky to have General Ma taking care of me."

Xin Xianying disagreed. She was wearing a winter coat but holding a fan in her hand. She waved it away to blow away the strange smell of burning coal cakes. The air sent over also made the flames in the furnace jump a little bit more.

Carefully covering it with a cloth towel, she opened the lid of the small earthen jar and greedily took a sip of the sweet fruity aroma. She shook her head and said:

"We are all women and we are not athletes fighting on the battlefield, so why should we cause harm?"

This is actually a bit simple to say. Even Cai Zhenji who sighed like this knew well that Xin Xianying's father Xin Pi in front of her was said to have made great achievements in the previous capture of the city.

What about yourself? Her husband, Yang Di, is the prefect of Shangdang. After General Ma Chao conquered Huguan, he still needed her husband to help stabilize the situation in Shangdang. Therefore, the safety of the family can be guaranteed, including her sister, but...

Xin Xianying touched the spoon next to her, carefully reached into the urn and dipped some canned juice into it to taste, her eyes suddenly narrowed into crescent moons.

After scooping out a little more with a spoon, Xin Xianying sighed while carefully blowing it to cool down:

"This canning method is not troublesome. Why hasn't anyone discovered it before?"

After cooling off, Xin Xianying put it towards Cai Zhenji's mouth, which immediately made Miss Cai tap her forehead and said with a smile:

"You think it's simple, but my sister also said that it is even more so when it comes to arithmetic. You can pick it up all over the place, but you can only find it here."

"Forefathers did not know what they had accomplished, which allowed future generations to gain fame by luck. We must not be complacent because of this."

"Oh, I know that."

Xin Xianying leaned back to avoid Cai Zhenji's fingers and muttered:

"It's impossible to say that I can be favored by General Ma in Huguan because of my eldest sister's academic talent."

Cai Zhenji couldn't help but turn her head and glance at her sister who was reading quietly from beginning to end, but she felt it was possible.

It was still a chaotic time after Huguan City was broken. Even if the three of them died, it would be difficult for Xin Pi to blame him afterwards. ‘

However, after the city was broken, there was chaos for half an hour before being suppressed by Ma Chao. Some of the Qiang cavalry who crossed the line were even killed by General Ma. This gave the Shangdang, who has a strong folk custom, a close experience of what Liangzhou Jin Ma Chao is. .

With this example in mind, it became natural for Ma Chao to visit his husband Yang Di and ask him to maintain order for the sake of the people. The difference was that when General Ma Chao heard that his sister had read a book from the south, he I asked with great interest, and then the Jin Ma Chao's attitude became more and more serious.

Yang Di once asked curiously, but he only heard Ma Chao say: "How can it be an ordinary person to be able to fully understand the heavenly book written by the general and division commander?"

It was because of these words that after the emperor captured the city, my sister thought twice and returned to live in seclusion in Yecheng, which she had resisted so much.

Xin Xianying's slightly ridiculing words did not make Cai Wenji have any special expression. She just held the page of the book and thought about it and said:

"Xianying will cook two cans later and send them to our neighbor, Mrs. Zhen."

"Sister, Uncle Liu Huang has always had a reputation for kindness, so he will not lack things for orphans and widowed mothers."

Xin Xianying wanted to refuse, but seeing Cai Wenji's persistence, she quickly resigned herself to it:

"Okay, okay, my husband led the army in the air but turned around and left without firing an arrow, leaving his wife and children here. This Mrs. Zhen is also pitiful. How can we be as kind-hearted as that emperor's uncle?"

This time Cai Wenji couldn't hold back her indifferent expression and couldn't help but knock her on the head:

"Stop talking nonsense and go quickly."

Seeing Xin Xianying slipping indoors to get the cans, Cai Zhenji seemed to sigh and shook her head:

"If Mrs. Zhen's husband really returns to attack Yecheng, by the time General Ma Chao arrives from Shangdang, he will be defeated by a two-pronged attack."

Cai Wenji was unmoved, turned over another page and said:

"At that time, Yecheng's people were still undecided. It might take half a day before the city was defeated. It might take two days, or it might take ten days. Who knows? In the end, it was already an immutable thing, and it was useless to talk about it."

After revealing the matter, Cai Wenji rarely sighed:

"The Xiliang Qiang cavalry was led by Ma Chao. Less than ten months after leaving Shangdang, they marched down Guangping Julu, Zhao Guoan, Pingping Mountain, Qinghe River, Zhongshan Mountain and Bohai Sea. They were so majestic and famous in the first battle."

Although there is a sense of being a fox pretending to be a tiger, but from another perspective, if you can't get into the party, ordinary people are not even qualified to pretend to be a tiger, so it is even harder to say anything.

Cai Zhenji was not interested in this. She leaned forward slightly and suggested:

"Sister, Uncle Liu Huang has been in Yecheng for more than ten days. Now that the people of Yecheng are stable and there are many interesting things from the south, why not go out and have a look? Only here..."

As soon as I lowered my head, I could see the books in my sister's hand. These were no longer the ones Xin Xianying bought. They were given to me by a female official named Li Shu after she arrived in Yecheng and she was settled. She said it was on the orders of Duke Xuande.

If she could read thousands of words and a half pages of the books Xin Xianying bought when she was bored, now it is very difficult for her to read them all.

Cai Wenji smiled:

"Reading here without distractions is what I have dreamed of for the past thirty years."

Cai Zhenji was silent for a moment, and there was a little more pity in her eyes when she looked at her sister, and her voice became softer:

"What is the theory of the book written by the talented person in the place of Liu Huangshu?"

Cai Wenji slightly moved her slightly sore neck, gently leaned her head on her sister's waist, and smiled peacefully:

"These theories can be seen, touched, and smelled."

"Look up and you can see, look down and you can see, every breath is related to this."

She didn't quite understand what her sister said, but seeing that her sister was happy, Cai Zhenji was also happy for her sister.

At this time, Xin Xianying also returned with two cans, and started shouting from a distance:

"Liu Huangshu just came to deliver an invitation. There will be a small New Year banquet in a few days. Are you two sisters going or not?"

Cai Wenji and Cai Zhenji looked at each other:

"Small New Year banquet?"

...

"Small New Year banquet? What is small New Year?"

Liu Xie, who was only wearing a single piece of clothing, pondered for a moment and didn't quite understand.

It was already night, and the snow was still falling. The floor and walls of the bedroom were all heated by ground pipes. The heat rising from the burning coal cakes flowed through the ground pipes throughout the room, making the bedroom warm.

A soft body came up from behind, and the soft hands gently covered his heart, and the voice was also very gentle:

"If Bohe doesn't understand, why not ask the emperor's uncle to come and ask?"

Fu Shou only responded with silence.
