Chapter 652： Shen Xiao9 is back

The housekeeper shook his head, "Not yet, the villain immediately came to report after hearing the news. I heard that the soldier who reported the news also just entered the city."

"Well, there should be news tomorrow, right? You go down first. If you hear any news, report it as soon as possible."

"Yes."

Knowing that Dong Rong could no longer make waves and would be able to return to Beijing in a few days, Pei Xiu was relieved and went back halfway.

She didn't know if the two of them were injured. If only Zhou Cheng went to the border alone, she would not be so worried.

The key is that the eldest son also went, so she couldn't calm down, so she hoped that they would come back sooner every day.

After the letter was sent to Beijing, the court's reply was also very fast. The next day, an decree was issued directly, allowing Princess Dongrong to come to Beijing and marry her.

However, with relatives and relatives, the captured soldiers, Dongrong still had to spend gold and silver jewelry to redeem!

Moreover, since they are expensive as the state, then Dongrong must pay tribute every year!

The victorious countries are so tough, and this is what the Grand Lieutenant advocates. They must be frightened at one time, and the border can comfort them for a few more years.

Although Dongrong is in short supply of food all the year round, the royal family of Dongrong is very rich. There are many precious medicinal materials in Dongrong, and there are a large number of medicinal materials merchants buying medicinal materials at the border all the year round.

Of course, the Great Xia Dynasty will not let them suffer. Since it is their vassal state, the new breed will definitely be given to Dongrong after the Great Xia Dynasty is popularized.

I just don't know if Dong Rong will accept it or not. After all, only one princess wants to replace tens of thousands of soldiers. There is no such good thing anywhere.

At best, the princess is only a bond that maintains the diplomatic relations between the two countries. Accepting the princess and her relatives is also a chance for them from Daxia.

A small country with small bullets is still a defeated country, but it is not qualified to negotiate conditions with them.

After the news that the front-line teachers wanted to return to the DPRK, everyone in the Zhou family relaxed.

At the end of May, I heard that Dong Rong had already agreed to Da Xia's conditions.

He also said that every year on the Longevity Festival, we will pay tribute on time, celebrate the birthday of the emperor of the celestial dynasty, and bring supplies to the celestial dynasty to exchange.

The last sentence, the drunkard's intention is not the wine?

What about him, anyway, it is something that the officials of the court should worry about.

All she had to do was know that they were already on their way back.

She ordered the servants to clean up in advance, cleaning all parts of the mansion, and making it look brand new.

The three brothers and sisters all felt his mother's good mood, and they have been much happier recently.

During breakfast, the atmosphere was very lively, and they were all looking forward to their father and brother coming back quickly.

"Madam, the ninth young master of the Shen family is here to visit!"

The third child was pleasantly surprised, "Xiao Jiu has finally entered Beijing! I haven't seen him for more than a year, go and invite him in."

Pei Xiu smiled and said, "It's been more than a year, and I haven't seen it for nearly two years. I wonder if their Shenjiabao was also affected by the snow disaster and the war, so they postponed their entry to Beijing until now."

"You'll find out after just asking."

The third child put down his chopsticks, didn't eat it, and ran outside happily.

Apart from classmates, there are not many friends of his age, Shen Xiaojiu is one of them, but unfortunately his family lives far away, in Yanyun Prefecture.

It happened that they had almost eaten, and Pei Xiu asked the servants to take it away. The cheerful voices of the two outside were getting closer and faster.

The third child took Xiao Jiu and ran into the house, "Mother, Xiao Jiu brought a lot of their Yanyunzhou specialties to see us."

She looked at Shen Xiaojiu with a smile, "When did you enter Beijing? I haven't seen you since the winter last year. It's been almost two years in the blink of an eye. I didn't expect you to grow so tall."

"Anne, Madam Zhou, the kid came to Beijing yesterday evening. It seems that Wednesday was a little taller than me. I thought I was growing fast. It should be able to surpass Wednesday, but I didn't expect him to grow faster."

"Both of you are very tall! Why did you come to Beijing at this time? Did the New Year's snow disaster also affect your ranch?"

Shen Xiaojiu nodded solemnly, "Yes, I was caught off guard. This year, the losses were heavy. Hundreds of horses were frozen to death, as well as some other cattle, sheep and livestock. My grandfather was so busy that my father had to stay and help."

"In addition, Yanyun Prefecture is close to the Mobei grassland, which is also affected by the war, so we postponed entering Beijing until the end of the Mobei war."

as she thought.

"Unfortunately, the loss of hundreds of horses is not small. If they are put on the battlefield, they are not a weak force."

Xiao Jiu's small face also frowned, and he sighed softly like a little adult.

"Yeah, many of them were trained as war horses. My grandfather and my father were heartbroken. It was because the servants' protective measures were not in place that they suffered such heavy losses. The servants of Shenjiabao have been re-cleaned in the past few months. for a while."

Pei Xiu comforted: "Fortunately, the Shen family has a great business, and you just need to do more training this year. Is it safe to come this way? Are there robbers and robbers?"

"We brought a large number of caravans, and a team of guards, and also hung the flag of the Shen family, and no one with eyesight dared to shoot at us."

She nodded, fearing that there would be calamities in the aftermath of the war.

"That's good. You're still growing, and you've traveled so long, you don't have much rest, and you've come to the door so early."

Shen Xiaojiu scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "I was thinking that Brother Tuesday and Wednesday would go to the academy early in the morning, and it was already evening when I came back, so I thought that I would come to the door early and meet them."

The third child hooked his shoulder, "Then when are you going to the academy?"

"Let's rest at home for a few more days! Isn't Xun's day off at the end of the month in three days? After going to school, you can play for a few more days."

"Okay, then when we get off school in the evening, we'll go directly to your house to play." Thinking that he hadn't reported to his mother yet, he turned his head and said, "Mother, can we not come back for dinner at night?"

"Yes, but you shouldn't be too noisy when you play at the Shen family~ It's noisy for the uncle of the Shen family."

"Hee hee, mother, don't worry!"

Wheat was also very moved, looking up at her mother, but seeing that her mother didn't bring her any eyes, knowing that there was no hope, his mother would not let her follow.

I sighed silently in my heart.

She still waits for her brothers to take her to the Huainan Palace to find Yuqing when they have a rest day!

At this time, Zhou Shan also came over and asked them to go to the academy together, but he was surprised to see Shen Xiaojiu coming back.

"When did you enter Beijing?"

Shen Xiaojiu laughed, "I entered Beijing yesterday evening."

"It's so diligent, I came here early in the morning. The third child started talking a few months ago, saying why you haven't come to the capital yet? Haven't seen each other for almost two years?"

"Yeah! When I went to Beijing last year, unfortunately you just left for a few days. I've been without company for a whole year. I'm bored. I've been looking forward to your return. Who knows when you come back, I will set off for Yanyun Prefecture again. I always miss it!"
