She carefully analyzed the current situation of Beiqing.
It's not that Beiqing can't go north to fight, but they just went through a civil strife. It's time to appease the people. It seems a little difficult for their national strength to attack Beiqing wantonly at this time.
Xiao Baoshan is a general of a country. He must not be so rash.
He was just angry that Beiqing people robbed his wife.
At this time, if his wife doesn't return it, it's the same.
If he returned, Xiao Baoshan not only won the war, but also won his wife back. It seemed that they were very counselled in Beiqing.
If he doesn't return it, he may be able to use his wife one day. After all, he is a Xiao Hou lady.
When empress dowager Xiao thought of this, she waved her hand and asked her subordinates who came to report to go back.
……
Ye Xiaoxian stayed in the post station for a few days. She knew nothing about the outside information, let alone Beiqing's defeat.
Just when she wondered how Beiqing people would deal with her, Qin Ming appeared again.
When Qin Ming appeared, his face looked very ugly.
Ye Xiaoxian recalled that along the way, Qin Ming didn't hurt her, and didn't say bad words to her because she was a big prayer. Therefore, Qin Ming should not be bad, but because of their different positions, they must be enemies.
"Mrs. Xiao Hou, pack up your things and come with me." Qin Mingdao.
"Where are you going?" Asked Ye Xiaoxian.
"Go where you should go." Qin Mingdao.
Ye Xiaoxian said, "let's go. I have nothing to clean up."
She was hijacked. She didn't even change her clothes. There was nothing to clean up.
Qin Ming said, "then go straight."
The house she lived in was in the attic. Downstairs, she met the waiter who delivered her meals every day. The waiter also glared at her.
Naturally, she didn't care. She just wondered why.
Is it because she is a big prayer.
Ye Xiaoxian followed Qin Ming into a carriage. The carriage passed several streets and finally came to a remote alley.
There were seven or eight families in this remote alley. Qin Ming led Ye Xiaoxian to the small courtyard closest to it.
This yard should have been uninhabited for a long time. It is overgrown with weeds, tables and chairs are rotten, some lack legs, and some are rotten in half.
After Qin Ming brought Ye Xiaoxian here, he said to Ye Xiaoxian, "in the future, you will live here."
"I live here?" Ye Xiaoxian wondered, "am I alone?"
"Yes."
"You don't put me in prison, or take me to the execution ground for public display, but let me live here alone? Don't you worry about me running away?"
Qin Ming said, "as I said, you can't run. You don't even have an ultimatum for customs clearance. Moreover, people here don't welcome big prayers. No one can help you escape."
"..." Ye Xiaoxian looked at the shabby yard again and asked, "do you want to leave me here and let me live and die?"
This is what empress dowager Beiqing meant.
Qin Ming nodded.
"No food, no silver, only such a broken house?" Asked Ye Xiaoxian.
"It should be." Qin Mingdao.
Ye Xiaoxian laughed angrily. She asked, "this... What's the purpose? I'm a hostage. You don't put me in prison or imprison me, but throw me in such a broken house and let me live and die?"
Qin Ming looked at Ye Xiaoxian sympathetically and then gave her a burden: "Mrs. Xiao Hou, there is a set of Beiqing women's clothes in it. If you want to go out, you'd better change this clothes, otherwise you will be unable to walk in the street."
"Nothing else?" Asked Ye Xiaoxian.
Qin Ming said: "no, I'm looking at the porridge, water and pickles given by Mrs. Xiao Hou every day when I was in Mobei. I'll give you my clothes now. It's late, and I have to go back. Mrs. Xiao Hou, please take good care of yourself."
"..." Qin Ming really said he was leaving.
Ye Xiaoxian took out the burden in her hand and turned it over. Indeed, she only turned out a Beiqing woman's dress, and there was nothing else.
She went into the house again and looked around. There was nothing else except old clothes, dishes and furniture.
How can she survive without money, rice and noodles?
Is this Jing Feng's idea?
At the thought of the Jing Feng, her teeth itched with anger.
He didn't ask anyone to insult her, but he put her in a dilemma. Isn't this an insult?
But now she has no choice but to survive first.
The yard has not been occupied for a long time. We must clean up the weeds in the yard first.
She found some old furniture in the corner, fallen axes and hoes, and a sickle. After a simple repair, she took it to clean up the weeds in the yard.
After working for half an hour, the yard looks much cleaner. It can be seen that it is used for living.
The tables and chairs inside have to be repaired.
Ye Xiaoxian was less difficult. When she was in Tianshan tribe, she often made furniture with everyone and knew how to repair the tables and chairs with missing legs.
Then repair the bed board and so on.
There was a well in the yard. Ye Xiaoxian hung a few buckets of water and wiped the small yard inside and outside.
After all this work, the yard finally looks habitable.
And ye Xiaoxian is also tired.
She lay tired and depressed on the newly repaired bed in the room.
The place to live is solved. What about food and drink?
Can't you drink well water three times a day?
Just lying down, she suddenly felt something on her head knock her.
Her eyes suddenly lit up.
She has a gold hairpin on her head, which was rewarded by the palace. Because the hairpin looks very low-key because of its simple shape, she often wears this one.
Why not take the hairpin out to pawn, or sell it, and buy some rice noodles back?
Thinking of this, ye Xiaoxian quickly changed into the clothes Qin Ming gave her, and then combed her hair into the common hairstyle of Beiqing women.
Beiqing people like to wear pigtails. She has tied more than ten roots. I believe she looks like a woman in Beiqing.
After changing clothes, ye Xiaoxian went out of the alley.
When she came, there was no one in the alley. Now she was going out. There was a man staring at her in the outermost room of the alley.
She's a little scared.
So he tightened the hairpin in his hand.
If the man dares to do anything unusual, she will stab him with the hairpin.
Fortunately, the man only looked at her out of curiosity, probably because a new woman lived here.
Ye Xiaoxian walked out of the alley and looked back. The man didn't follow. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Soon came to the street.
This is not downtown. There are few people and shops. I don't see pawnshops or gold shops.
