Chapter 73 The heavy snow in Shenjing and the reappearance of red feathers
The sister Xiangyun mentioned by everyone is the great-grandson of Jia Mu's mother's family, Baoling Hou's Mansion, and her name is Shi Xiangyun.
Xiangyun's father was the eldest grandson of Baoling Hou Shigong.
As the eldest daughter of Baobing Hou, Jia Mu is Shi Xiangyun's aunt.
In comparison, Shi Xiangyun was considered a miserable person. He lost his father at a young age and had no brothers, so his title of Baoling Hou fell to his uncle in the second house.
Fortunately, shortly after Shi Xiangyun lost her father when she was young, she was taken to Rongguo Mansion by Mother Jia to temporarily stay. Because she was protected by Mother Jia, Shi Xiangyun had indeed lived a few years of carefree life.
However, blessings have never lasted forever, and misfortunes never come alone.
It is also said that hemp ropes are just broken in detail, and bad luck only seeks people who are suffering.
Before Shi Xiangyun could live a safe life in the Jia family for a few years, Shi Xiangyun's mother also followed her father. Now, Shi Xiangyun became a fatherless child.
In addition, she is not favored by her uncle and aunt, so a daughter from the Marquis’s Mansion not only has no one around her, but she also has a girl who can’t finish her work even if she stays up late all day!
Who dares to believe this?
Therefore, it is really like Yingchun secretly sighed, children without parents grow up in the bitter water!
However, perhaps because of nature, the more you live in the bitter water, the more you develop Shi Xiangyun's lively and cheerful, free and unrestrained personality.
It's like her speaking.
Only great heroes can be the true nature of the true heroes, and they are the true heroes!

Return to the book.
But at the gate of the east courtyard of the Hou Mansion, Xiangyun saw that everyone was eating lively, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Okay, you brothers and sisters are all gathered to play together. They eat delicious food and drink spicy food, but they just don't call me!"
Hearing this, Tanchun couldn't help but smile and said, "This girl is so lifeless. In the past, you were not in the house. It's impossible for us to call you? I'm just here today, but I blame us!"
Xichun smiled and took over the conversation, "We Xiangyun, that's a dilapidated man who 'willingly make a three-pointer'. Does the third sister think this sentence is false?"
After saying that, he pulled open the stool and got up and wanted to run away.
However, Xiangyun seemed to have expected Xichun to run away, so she went behind her when she opened her mouth. When Xichun pulled the stool, she happened to send herself to Xiangyun's hand.
Shi Xiangyun pressed Xichun on the stool, and his two white tender hands immediately reached to Xichun's cheeks. While Xichun was not paying attention, his jade fingers like onions suddenly exerted force...
Xichun's face, which was as beautiful as a flower, instantly became funny and funny.
"Oh, Xiangyun, let go!" Xichun's cheeks were pulled by Xiangyun, and even said something unstoppable, so she couldn't help but beg for mercy.
Xiangyun knew Xichun was naughty, so naturally she would not let go so easily. "Let me tell me, who is the rascal and dilapidated man?"
"It's me! It's me! I'm a rascal and dilapidated man, right?"
People are under the eaves, and they must bow their heads.
His cheeks fell under someone's hands. At this time, Xichun was like the Great Sage Sun who was pressed under the Five Fingers Mountain, and there was no way to do it.
I can only raise my hand to surrender!
Seeing this, Yingchun Tanchun and others were all trembling with laughter and said, "Xichun, the Demon King of the World, has encountered a monkey who can save her today!"
Jia Jing couldn't help but smile, and reached out to pull the two of them away, "Okay, they are all big girls who are going to get married in a blink of an eye. Why are they still so terrible?!"
As he said that, he ordered the maid on the side to say, "Why don't you hurry up and add a pair of chopsticks to Miss Cousin! If you are late, be careful that she will use you as a dish to serve wine!"
Xiangyun stomped his feet, "Why did Brother Jing become bad?"
Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter again.
After a while, a maid quickly brought a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and another maid brought a stool and placed it next to Baoyu.
Xiangyun was not embarrassed and sat down straight.
After sitting down, he looked around the table, reached out and picked up the wine pot on the table. He poured wine for everyone first, and then shook the wine pot. "There is such a small pot of wine on the table. Brother Jing San was so stingy. Why don't you bring the wine you have treasured out of two jars. Let's get drunk today!"
Jia Jing smiled and said, "I knew that our Miss Shi was a very lively drunkard! Every time I came, I must have a few less wine in my cellar!"
Everyone laughed again.
In the heavy snow, there were so many cups and chats in the yard.
For a moment, laughter filled the air.
…………
In the palace, Wenyuan Pavilion.
Compared with the severe cold outside, this place looks like it is full of enthusiasm.
The eunuchs who came to take action were shouted and ran around, searching for memorials that were piled up.
Sitting on the desk aside, the cabinet ministers who were constantly searching for the memorials were also sweating on their foreheads.
"No!"
“Not here either!”
“…”
The little eunuchs' reply made the hearts of several cabinet ministers and Qiu Shi'an slowly sink.
Seeing their faces getting darker little by little, the eunuchs were so scared that they were silent, and they felt that the air pressure in the entire Wenyuan Pavilion seemed to have been lowered a few degrees.
...
Today's incident originated from an inadvertent idea of Emperor Hongde.
Last night there was another heavy snow, which was the fifth heavy snow since the twelfth lunar month. The unbearable cold weather made Emperor Hongde think of Liaodong again.
It is already so cold in Shenjing. How cold should Liaodong be?
In previous years, at the end of the year, the Liaodong border army requested the court to allocate money, grain and goods to send money to their imperial courts three times a day, but this year I have never seen a single copy.
Emperor Hongde admitted that he was a little panicked!
So Emperor Hongde immediately called Qiu Shi'an over, "Company Qiu, why hasn't this Liaodong's memorial to ask the court to allocate money, grain and goods to be allocated on my imperial case?
You go to Wenyuan Pavilion and ask what's going on?
I always feel a little uneasy!”
"I obey the order!"
Qiu Shi'an took Emperor Hongde's will and hurried to Wenyuan Pavilion for inquiries.
This question is a big deal!
After searching, everyone found that since the twelfth lunar month, Liaodong’s memorial to report the political affairs of the last month has not entered Beijing!
This time, everyone's hearts were filled with a "knock".
For the parents, the lack of Liaodong reports has not been noticed or reported by their own family. It should be a dereliction of duty. If something happens in the middle...
The few people looked at each other and felt a bad thought arise in their hearts.
Yang Xiuchen made a quick decision and said, "Go to the Yangxin Palace! I want to meet Your Majesty!"
"Go together! Go together!"
Several other cabinet ministers also nodded repeatedly, followed Qiu Shi'an and Yang Xiuchen, and headed into the Yangxin Hall.
Halfway through the way, everyone saw two tall imperial guards, holding a messenger who could no longer walk, heading to the Yangxin Palace.
The bright yellow flag on the messenger's body and the blood-red feathers on his head made everyone's hearts jump again.
This is an 800-mile expedition!
...
In the Palace of Yangxin, Emperor Hongde had not waited for Qiu Shi'an to bring back the information he wanted to know from Wenyuan Pavilion, but he first waited for a messenger who was about to freeze.
Lying on the ground of Yangxin Hall, the messenger was tired and frozen and could no longer speak.
I saw that the letter used his extremely stiff hands to open the bamboo tube on his body tremblingly and poured out a letter from it.
Then, the messenger pointed to the letter on the ground and looked at Emperor Hongde with anticipation. The look of expectation made Emperor Hongde's mind tremble...
"Puff!"
With all the expectations, the messenger fell to the ground and no longer breathed!
