Chapter 87 Compensation for ceding land

Chapter 87
Yao Yu knew that talking like this would only hurt her and Jiao Niang's relationship, so she turned around and said, "Did Zhong Er make arrangements for you to come here this time?"

As soon as she mentioned her son, Jiao Niang really relaxed a little, "Nurse is watching, she won't let him run around. I also want to thank Xian Ji for her sword manual, that child is much closer to me."

Yao Yu smiled, "Don't coax him too much. Otherwise, he doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth, and he may not cause much trouble."

Jiao Niang covered her lips and smiled, "How dare he make a mistake? We all use your name to overwhelm him. As long as he hears your name, he will be as cute as a girl!"

Yao Yu heard that she no longer called her Immortal Fairy, so she turned back to the topic, "Tuoba Pojun really did the right thing in asking you to come. I don't easily agree to others, but you, sister, I have to agree no matter what. "

Jiao Niang probably didn't expect Yao Yu to compromise so quickly, she was slightly surprised, and then her eyes turned red, "Good sister, thank you. You also know that the general...is really not easy."

Yao Yu took Jiao Niang's hand again, "How could I not know? It's just my sister, but this time, it's not my sister's fault. Then if King Hu Xia didn't commit the crime shamelessly, how could I cause trouble on purpose? I just sacrificed Not long after, Youfang became friendly with the Northern Wei Dynasty, and I wish I could live a peaceful life behind closed doors."

Jiaoniang also knew that Yao Yu's words were true, so she stopped blaming her, "Before I came, Hu Xia's envoy had already come to ask the general. At first the general didn't see him behind closed doors, but later the envoy Hu Xia handed over the compensation." The general let them have an audience with the emperor. Originally they had prepared two gifts, one for the emperor and one for his sister. Unexpectedly, the emperor ordered us to bring both gifts. Someone prepared an extra copy and brought it along. Wei Huang also said...the Penglai appointment is approaching, and I hope my sister will leave as soon as possible."

While talking, Jiao Niang looked at Yao Yu inquiringly.Wei Huang's uncharacteristic behavior can only make people think of one explanation, that is, he intends to invite rain.

Yao Yu probably knew what Jiao Niang was thinking, and said with a smile, "Why, do you even doubt me now, sister? Although I have met him, he didn't know that the dancer was me that day. Maybe this gift was entrusted to me. It’s for Nian’er.”

Jiao Niang thought about it for herself, and it was indeed the case, and then she let go of her heart and said, "Sister, be careful yourself, the emperor... is a bit greedy for beauty, everyone in the court knows, I'm afraid he has ulterior motives for this appointment in Penglai. "

Yao Yu showed a wry smile, "Thank you sister for still thinking about me."

Seeing this, Jiao Niang couldn't help feeling sorry for her.He placed Yao Yu's hand in his palm and patted it lightly, "Sister, I just want to say, I hope to have a lover, never to be apart."

Yao Yu looked up at Jiao Niang, and saw her eyes were full of sincerity.

Yao Yu knew that Jiao Niang and Tuoba Pojun were probably lovers.Even though there are thousands of hardships and hardships, the person in my heart has never changed.

"Sister, do you have any clues about the Xia Chaoyi class?"

Jiao Niang pitifully brushed her temples for Yao Yu, "Not yet. Actually, it's not your fault, why don't you just let it go?"

Yao Yu shook his head, "I can't let them die without knowing why."

Jiao Niang nodded and promised that she would investigate further, but felt that the atmosphere was too dull, so she changed the subject and asked, "Your sister will be fifteen next year?"

Yao Yu didn't know why she asked this question, so she just nodded in a daze.

Jiao Niang sighed, "Is there no one in this country who wants to give you a gift of honor?"

Not only invited Yu, but Zimo who accompanied him was also taken aback.

When Jiao Niang saw this, she touched Yao Yu's face with pity, "Daughter, at the age of fifteen, you have to tie your forehead and hair, and perform the ceremony before you can marry. Your status is different now. This kind of thing must be done. Prepare early."

Yao Yu looked sad, and Ji?If Emperor Song hadn't exiled himself, and he had been living in the underground palace, would father have thought that he still had a daughter who was going to grow up?
Seeing Yao Yu's appearance, Jiao Niang knew that she must be talking about her sad place, so she quickly changed the subject, "Look at me, I was talking about my daughter's family, and I forgot all the business." This is the gift list, Just take a look. "Jiaoniang said, pulling out a piece of brocade from the sleeve of her robe, and tied it with a bright yellow silk ribbon.

Yao Yu glanced at it, gold, silver, jewelry, cattle, sheep and horses are indispensable.In addition to the compensation for the peace, there is also the ransom money for the captured soldiers.And the most eye-catching thing is the cession of a county.Xia Jun captured Hanyang before attacking Qiuchi, and accepting this gift list meant that Hanyang County would belong to Qiuchi from now on.

Yao Yu slowly rolled up the gift list, watching lines of words rolled into the scroll as if enjoying themselves.Then Yingyan was called in, "Send the gift list to Prime Minister Liang Weng of the Left, and Weng Liang and Prime Minister Right will count it together. If the count is correct, I will ask Old General Yao to escort him out of the country."

Yingyan took the order to go down, and immediately arranged for someone to deliver the gift list.

Yao Yu smiled and said, "Since sister is here, why don't you stay for a few more days?"

Jiao Niang also wanted to stay with Yao Yu for a few more days, but thinking about Zhong Er, she had no choice but to decline, "The general is still waiting for me to go back, and I am also worried about Zhong Er."

Yao Yu naturally knew what she was thinking.From the Northern Wei Dynasty to here, it would take ten days at a fast pace, but Jiao Niang rushed here so quickly with the tribute, which shows that she traveled day and night.It is self-evident that the journey is exhausting.

"Then I will hold a banquet for my sister in the evening. It is both a welcome and a farewell party."

Jiao Niang nodded and thanked Zhao Yu.

Yao Yu called Yingyan again, "Let's take Jiedushi to go down to rest for a while. You will take care of him personally. Inform all the ministers that there will be a banquet tonight, and all the ministers are invited to attend."

After sending Jiao Niang back to the back hall to rest, Zimo bent down, knelt down in front of Yao Yu, held her face in his hands, and said with shame, "I was negligent about Jiji."

Yao Yu shook her head, "You and I grew up in the underground palace, how would you know what I didn't know?" She laughed suddenly as she spoke, "At first I thought it was those girls who thought their foreheads were pretty, so they showed them on purpose. Yes. I looked in the mirror at the time, and I always felt that my forehead was too high..." She smiled, but her heart became more and more bitter.

Zimo gently brushed her forehead hair, "Nonsense, but I look very beautiful. If Yu'er wants to, I will tell Qin Zhongzhi tomorrow that I will definitely prepare a beautiful wedding ceremony for you."

After hearing the words, Yao Yu thought for a while, and finally shook his head, "Although there is Hu Xia's compensation now, there are countless places in the country that urgently need money. There is still a year, so let's talk about it later."

Although Zimo didn't say anything more, he made up his mind that he must prepare a wedding ceremony for Yao Yu.

The palace banquet at night was not extravagant.Just simple dishes and rice wine.

Yao Yu explained to Jiao Niang that because the soldiers were still suffering at the border, the palace stipulated that they should share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers.But Jiaoniang didn't mind, she just said that it happened to be this opportunity to taste the characteristics of the folk customs of Shu.

During the banquet, Jiao Niang spoke and behaved very well, and the ministers who were a little hostile to her later all toasted with her.This made Yao Yu admire.Thinking in her heart, this is probably what Jiaoniang practiced in the harem of the Northern Wei Dynasty.It can be seen that I still have a lot to learn.
