Chapter 40 Minqiu disaster relief

As the carriage gets closer, Yang Yuanqing's heart is also pounding. He has recognized the carriage. Yang Yuanqing urges the horse to run towards the carriage. When he approaches the carriage, the curtains are pulled open, revealing a pretty face, with shyness on his face, but his eyes are filled with the joy of reunion.

Yang Yuanqing also tightened the reins and stopped the war horses. They had been separated for a year and a half. Although there were Hongyan's letters, he still felt an indescribable feeling in his heart when they met at this time, strange, blank, and nervous. Although this pretty face and beautiful face would make every man who saw her obsessed with it, and he was also fascinated by it, but he felt that there was still a little missing, a kind of unforgettable thing that he himself didn't know what it was.

Yang Yuanqing slowly urged him to step forward and smiled and said, "Why are you here?"

Pei Minqiu's heart was like a full moon, and the clear light was gone every night. The moon in her heart had been rounded several times, and she finally looked back to her lover. At this time, she didn't care about the shyness in her heart. The excitement of reunion after a long time made her eyes a little red, and she didn't know what to say.

"Yuanqing, when did you come back?" Her voice was still soft, but she choked up a little. She turned her head away and prevented Yang Yuanqing from seeing the tears gushing out of her.

Yang Yuanqing noticed Minqiu's excitement. He suddenly realized the longing for him by a infatuated girl. This girl who was about to become his wife should not be so cold to her. At this moment, a hint of guilt surged in Yang Yuanqing's heart.

"I came back at noon yesterday and wanted to visit you, but I was too busy and I really didn't have time."

Yang Yuanqing's smile also became gentle. When he saw her, his sleepless fatigue disappeared.

"I also heard about the incident in Taipei City. I think you should have not slept all night."

Minqiu took out a food box from the carriage. She touched it and smiled and said, "These are a few cakes I baked for you early in the morning. They are still hot. Eat while it's hot!"

Minqiu's careful care flowed into Yang Yuanqing's heart like a clear spring. He took the food box and opened it. Inside were three evenly rolled pancakes, golden color, crispy and soft, and the fragrant meat sauce overflowed from the edge of the pancake, exuding an attractive fragrance.

The hunger in his belly made it difficult for Yang Yuanqing to resist the temptation of Hu Ping. He lowered his head and swept away the three Hu Pings like a wind storm the broken clouds. He wiped the corners of his mouth with a little embarrassed expression. (《》)

Minqiu saw that Yang Yuanqing was eating sweetly, and she felt extremely happy. When she saw that he was a little embarrassed to wipe his mouth, she couldn't help but smile and handed him her handkerchief, "Use this!"

The silk was white and dust-free. Yang Yuanqing couldn't bear to wipe his face, so he put it in his arms and quickly wiped the oil stains on his face with his sleeves. He couldn't help laughing.

When Minqiu saw that he actually put his handkerchief in his arms, he was blushing pretty and a hint of sweetness surged in his heart. She took out another pot of wine for him, pursed her lips and said, "This is your Italian Potato wine, it's not easy to buy. My maid ran to several restaurants to buy it."

"Thank you!"

Yang Yuanqing smiled and took the wine pot, raised his head and took a few big sips. The feeling of being full of wine made him feel indescribable. At this time, the two little maids got off the carriage and each carried five or six wine pots. Yang Yuanqing was stunned for a moment. He understood that it was Pei Minqiu who thought about it carefully!

He waved to Yang Dalang, and Yang Dalang urged the horse to come. Yang Yuanqing handed him over a dozen wine pots, which were for the brothers. Everyone took turns to drink a few sips to warm up their bodies.

Yang Dalang took the wine pot and bowed to Pei Minqiu Shen, "Thank you, mistress!"

Pei Minqiu's face turned even more red when she heard him calling her mistress, and she said embarrassedly: "This is just a little bit of my wish."

Yang Dalang was extremely happy and ran towards the crowd with a wine pot. He whispered a few words to everyone. More than a hundred soldiers fought hard and shouted loudly: "Thank you - Lord - Mother!"

Pei Minqiu was embarrassed and pulled the curtains on the car. Yang Yuanqing laughed loudly, "These bastards!"

He was in a good mood and looked at the ox cart full of grain bags, but was stunned. He saw that there was a Pei Mansion butler in the team, thinking that it was the food sent by the Pei family, but found something wrong. Each ox cart was equipped with an apricot yellow pennant, and the word "Yang" was written on the flag. What's going on?

Yang Yuanqing looked at Pei Minqiu. Pei Minqiu had just recovered from her embarrassment and quietly opened the curtain. When she saw Yang Yuanqing notice the flag, she smiled and said, "Yuanqing, this is actually your food and has nothing to do with my family."

"My grain?" Yang Yuanqing became even more confused.

"Have you forgotten your estate?"

Yang Yuanqing slapped his forehead and remembered that last autumn, he wrote to Pei Minqiu, giving her time to go to his manor to take a look. It seemed that she had been there. (《》)

"Is this the food from my manor?"

"Um!"

Pei Minqiu nodded and smiled, "I saw that there were a lot of grain stored, and it was enough for tens of thousands of stones. When I encountered a disaster, I will make the decision for you and ask my family to transport some grain for me to provide relief to the disaster in your name."

Speaking of this, Pei Minqiu hesitated and asked: "Yuan Qing, you... don't blame me for being troublesome, right?"

Yang Yuanqing was moved and sighed, "How could I blame you for being troublesome! You thought of something I could not imagine for me, and it is a good thing to help the victims."

He patted the grain bag and asked again: "How much grain has been transported back in total?"

Pei Minqiu thought for a while and said, "A total of 3,000 stones of grain were provided. Two thousand stones were distributed to refugees and women and children in Yanshi County, and another 1,000 stones were transported back. The relief porridge started five days ago, and 500 stones had been consumed. There were 300 stones here, and there were about 200 stones in Peifu warehouse."

‘Ten thousand stones of grain were stored’, which made Yang Yuanqing unexpected. He thought to himself that the high price of grain is now high, which is an opportunity. Part of it is used to provide disaster relief and part of it can also stabilize the price of grain. It can be said that it is a gain of fame and fortune. Why not do it?

Thinking of this, Yang Yuanqing called Yang Silang and Yang Wulang up and said to them: "There is something more troublesome, and you two have to work hard."

"Young Master, just say it!"

"I have a manor. If you don't have a manor in Yanshi County, you two will take a few brothers and hire a fleet to transport the manor's grain to the capital as soon as possible. How much can you transport it?"

"Don't worry, young master, we will do this as soon as possible!"

Yang Yuanqing gave them some more certificates, and the two gave a gift, and then urged the horse to run away.

Pei Minqiu put on a hat, got out of the carriage, rode a horse and walked slowly with Yang Yuanqing. Although according to the customs at that time, men and women generally did not meet after getting engaged and would not meet after the wedding chamber, it was not absolute. Especially for small families, sons-in-law would often go to their future father-in-law's house to help, and at this time they would meet their fiancée. Generally, civilians did not pay so much attention to it.

Although the Pei family is strict, it also has a human relationship. Yang Yuanqing only returned to the capital once by chance and should have met them. Because of this, the Pei family is more tolerant of Pei Minqiu and cannot forbid her to meet Yang Yuanqing.

After spending time together for a long time, the tension in their hearts gradually faded. Although they did not talk about marriage, they also talked about their lives for more than a year.

"Yuanqing, I heard from my grandmother that you are no longer in Wuyuan County. Will you stay in the capital in the future when you serve in the East Palace?"

Yang Yuanqing shook his head and sighed: "The emperor's heart is unpredictable. This time it is just a temporary appointment. I really don't know where I will make me in the future."

After pausing, Yang Yuanqing said again: "I heard that the court's attention has turned to the Western Regions, and maybe I will participate in the Western Regions War."

Yang Yuanqing turned around and looked at Pei Minqiu. She wore a veil and a thin gauze covering her face. She was wearing a wide white dress. She looked outstanding in the breeze. Pei Minqiu is sixteen years old this year, no longer as thin as before, slim and plump as a woman.

Pei Minqiu found Yang Yuanqing secretly looking at her. She felt shy and lowered her head and whispered: "Yuanqing, how long will you stay in the capital this time?"

This is the girl’s implicitness. She is actually asking her lover when she will marry her?

"There should be a while. After two days, I will visit Lingzun Lingtang. What do they like? I mean, what gifts are better to buy."

Pei Minqiu thought for a while and smiled, "It doesn't matter. As long as it is something you give, they like it, and don't be too rich. The Pei family doesn't like luxurious things, as long as it is your wish."

"It's better to give them something they like. I think it's more meaningful. Tell me!"

"Oh well!"

Pei Minqiu had no choice but to smile helplessly: "My father likes reading and writing. You can give him a set of four treasures in the study. If my mother is on her side, you can give her a piece of silk. She likes purple, Yuanqing, and my grandmother, she also wants to give her a piece of silk with a little rich and noble pattern. These are enough."

"What about you? What do you want?" Yang Yuanqing smiled.

Pei Minqiu lowered her head, hesitated for a long time, and whispered: "Yuanqing, tomorrow is my birthday."

Yang Yuanqing was stunned. It turned out that tomorrow was Minqiu's 16th birthday. If Minqiu didn't say it, he wouldn't know at all. He scratched his head and smiled, "Then I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow night to celebrate your birthday."

Pei Minqiu gave him a faint look, bit his lips gently and said, "Do you really don't understand what they mean?"

Yang Yuanqing really couldn't figure out her heart, so he could only smile bitterly: "I didn't sleep all night last night, and now my mind is full of mucus, which is stupider than a pig's brain. Just tell me!"

Pei Minqiu couldn't help laughing, and covered her mouth and laughed in a low voice: "What I mean is that you will go to see my parents tomorrow and congratulate me on my birthday tonight."

Yang Yuanqing felt that she was really idiot. Tomorrow is Minqiu’s birthday. Of course, her parents would celebrate her and invited her to have dinner outside.

He patted his forehead and smiled, "My mind is becoming less and less understanding of human nature. Well, I will visit your parents tomorrow afternoon and celebrate your birthday!"

Pei Minqiu was afraid that he would not be able to come if he had something to do. Seeing that he agreed, he was happy and smiled, "Then I'm sure I'm sure you don't want to be fooled!"

"It must come!"

Yang Yuanqing took out the Arctic cold jade bow from his arms, quietly held her hand, and stuffed it into her palm, "This is for you, I'm my birthday gift."

Pei Minqiu's hand was held by him, so she turned her head and didn't dare to look at him, but she held the gift Yang Yuanqing gave her tightly in her hand.

At this time, Yang Dalang's shout came from afar, "General, someone is looking for you, there is something urgent!"

When Yang Yuanqing turned around, he saw a middle-aged man standing by the roadside, with an anxious face. It was Yun Dingxing, and it turned out that he was back.

Yang Yuanqing said to Pei Minqiu: "I have something to do. You go back to your house first, and I will see you tomorrow."

"Um!"

Pei Minqiu was happy and told him again, "You must come. This is my sixteenth birthday."

"I must come!" Yang Yuanqing nodded slightly.
