When Zhou Han heard Zhou Guozhu said such shameless words, his face changed color.

Sun Di immediately snorted, "It sounds so nice, have you asked my mother in advance?"

Zhou Guozhang disagreed and said, "The orders of parents and the words of the matchmaker have been like this since ancient times. I will make a bridge for your mother. What's wrong with me?"

"you……"

Sun Di was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Zhou Han pulled Sun Di back and said coldly: "Since that's the case, I'll thank my uncle for your kindness."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!"

Zhou Guozhu laughed and said, "Niece, uncle is old and can't stand rushing. Look... can you tell the Regent and don't go overseas?"

Zhou Han laughed angry and snorted: "Please forgive me, uncle. Mr. Li has always been clear about public and private affairs, so he will definitely not agree."

Zhou Guozhang asked: "You didn't mention it, how could you know? Besides, the Regent asked you to take charge of the accounts. All such important things are left to you. You should be very fond of you. Can you not do such a small thing well, or are you unwilling to do it?

I know, you are still blaming your uncle, and I admit that this matter is indeed a lack of consideration, but you are also a blessing in disguise? If you had not left Beijing, how could you meet the Regent? Besides, we are a family, and if our family members do not expect our family, who else can we expect? My uncle's property is gone, I just hope to stay in the capital and spend our old age!"

Even Zhou Hou couldn't listen to this, his face flushed with shame, and his eyes looked at Zhou Han full of apology.

"snort!"

Sun Di snorted: "You are so old, but you can say such words. You are a relative of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. The royal relatives and nobles are in the same throne as the country. Shouldn't you follow Chongzhen to find the country overseas? I see where you are old, your face is rosy, your waist is straight, and your words are full of energy. It's so good!"

Zhou Guozhu ignored Sun Di at all, but just looked at Zhou Han and said, "Niece, do you really don't recognize your uncle as a relative?"

Zhou Han said: "Uncle, don't force me. The country has national laws and family rules. If you really want to stay, you can wait for Mr. Li to come back to find him. My niece is really powerless. Please forgive me!"

"well!"

Zhou Guozhu was furious and pointed at Zhou Han and said, "I didn't expect that there was someone like you in my family. Even if I die outside the territory, I will never beg you again, hum!"

As he said that, he swung his sleeves and turned away.

Zhou Hou said with apologies: "Sister, I'm really sorry. I didn't expect my father to come suddenly. Alas, after all, there are no rules in the palace, and my father is also very angry. Don't take it in your heart."

Zhou Han forced a smile and said, "It's not a problem. I can understand my uncle. After all, no one knows what happens overseas. It is common for uncles to be used to being comfortable and fearful."

Zhou Hou sighed, "Yes, my father did do something he shouldn't do, but he is old and has old cold legs. After all, he has been on a sea boat for so long, and he is afraid of wind, waves and moisture. The pain is not something that people can bear. Moreover, in recent months, my father weaved fishing nets every day and his hands have been cut. As a daughter, I feel uncomfortable when I think about it, but I am really powerless."

Queen Zhang stood aside and sneered secretly.

No wonder he invited Zhou Han into the palace. It turned out that it was because her father could stay in Beijing and no longer have to serve labor. One of the father and daughter played the role of the red face and the other was the white face. It was very scheming.

Exile is still far away, and it will take several years to go, but serving labor is the most deadly. The royal relatives are all people who do not eat the water of spring, but now they work every day, and their work is very heavy, and their skin has fallen off. What is the difference between serving hard labor?

Except for Chongzhen and his wife who did not have to serve, even the royal kings could not escape.

Although he would not suffer from physical pain when serving, he was scolded at all times. The past bunch of mud legs now stands in front of him and curses. Who can bear it? This is not only physical pain, but also mentally devastated.

In fact, Empress Zhang is more worried about gains and losses. She hopes that Zhou Han will be persuaded to let Zhou Guogong be together. In this way, she will have the opportunity to plead for her Zhang family, but if it is just that Zhou Guogong's family is pardoned, she will not want to do so.

After all, it is universal human nature to be ashamed of others than yourself. When I saw Zhou Han today, she knew that this was not feasible and felt a little happy in her heart. Anyway, my family cannot be well, so why not everyone will be exiled and work hard together. I am not good, so don’t everyone.

Sure enough, Zhou Han regretted entering the palace a little. After looking at the time, he said, "Cousin, I should go back. Let's see you again someday."

"You're leaving now?"

Zhou Hou was very surprised.

"Yeah~~"

Zhou Han smiled embarrassedly: "There are a lot of financial matters. I still have a child at home. I really can't keep it anymore. I'm sorry, my cousin."

Zhou Hou didn't want to let Zhou Han go. Her father's affairs were not settled yet. Zhou Guogong was old and could not stay alone. Several sons had to stay, which meant that the whole family was left behind.

But she didn't dare to force Zhou Han, so she turned her eyes and said with a smile: "Since my sister is leaving, I won't keep you anymore. By the way, my mother, you are about the same age as A Di. You don't have any people in the palace. I think you get along well, you have to have more interactions."

"Um!"

Sun Di nodded and said, "I have nothing to say. Changping, why not take you out of the palace to play, it's much more lively outside than inside."

"this……"

Princess Changping was moved and looked back at her mother.

Zhou Hou was also hesitant.

Sun Di hurriedly said, "Don't worry, aunt, the public security on the street is much better now than before. Mr. Li has severely rectified it. It doesn't matter if the girl goes out alone, and there will be female soldiers from Aunt Hong to follow us."

"Okay, I'll be back before dark!"

Zhou Hou nodded reluctantly.

"Mom, my daughter knows!"

Princess Changping nodded happily and then walked out with Zhou Han and Sun Di.

Sun Di is fourteen years old and Princess Changping is sixteen years old. The two girls are about the same age. They are holding hands and are very intimate. Zhou Han nodded secretly. She also hopes that Sun Di can have a companion, otherwise she will always be with Li Xin. It doesn’t matter if she was young before, but now she is getting older and not very suitable.

She even thought of helping Changping talk about a good family, stay in Beijing, and be best friends with Sun Di for the rest of her life.

...

It has been nearly a month since the bandits captured Zhangjiakou. In December, the north wind was as tight as the north, and the first snow of the year floated on the north side of the barrier. Looking around, the grassland was covered with white patches.

Li Xin did not live in the city because the smell of blood in the city has not yet dissipated, so he could only set up camp outside the city.

Liu Rushi, Bian Yujing and Gu Hengbo were both wearing white fox furs. On the white grassland, Gu Pan looked very handsome, and Bian Yujing snuggled up to Li Xin tightly, with his pretty face full of happiness.

In the past, Gao Guiying accompanied Li Xin, but Gao Guiying was pregnant. Therefore, everyone knew about this trip by Bian Yujing serving Li Xin. Everything happened naturally. Compared with Kou Baimen's slightly reserved, Bian Yujing was much bolder. Not long after he captured Zhangjiakou, he gave himself to Li Xin.

Gu Hengbo was envious and jealous, and a little anxious. At this time, he asked with no words: "Mr. Li, it's logical that Dorgon is coming soon, why is there no sign of it until now?"

Liu Rushi guessed: "Many Ragon detoured the Mongolian hinterland to Liaodong. After all, Juehua Island has been recovered by General Chen. Dorgon would not be assured of others. He could only command himself to attack Juehua Island. Moreover, he suffered consecutive defeats and would never want to fight you at this time."

Li Xin suddenly felt a little impressed. The more he thought about it, the more likely he was, and his flickering eyes looked at the vast grassland.

Suddenly, two horsemen rushed from the depths of the grassland in snow. They were not soldiers of the personal guards, but Mongolians. Apart from the upper nobles, there were not many Mongolians who knew Chinese. It was most appropriate to use Mongolians to find out information on the grassland.

The two Mongolians got off the horse and spoke Mongolian words to Ezhe. Ezhe immediately said to Li Xin: "Dorgon detoured Korqin and returned to Liaodong. About ten days ago, a Mongolian shepherd saw more than 100,000 Qing troops appear in Korqin."

"Damn it!"

Li Xin cursed unanimously.

This is actually the helplessness of fighting on the grassland.

Whenever the Central Plains dynasty was strong, the difficulty of fighting against the nomadic peoples outside the Frontier was not how to defeat them, but how to find the main force of the nomadic cavalry. Zhu Di Wu did not achieve great victory in his five campaigns against Mongolia. In the final analysis, it was difficult to find the main force of Mongolia.

After all, the grassland is vast and you can run in any direction, and sporadic herders are the best. Even if the Central Plains army kills all the herders along the way, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no fishing that will miss the net.

Emperor Wu of Han fought against the Xiongnu and exhausted his national strength. In fact, the real war was not consumed much, mainly because there was too much loss on the way, and Zhu Di was the same, and Li Xin could not say that he was strong and strong. Although he had a hunch that Dorgon might not return along the Great Wall, he did not dare to enter the depths of the grassland in the middle of winter and could only wait in Zhangjiakou for a while. As a result, Dorgon really detoured the Mongolians.

Korbi is located in Tongliao City, Inner Mongolia, nearly two thousand miles from Zhangjiakou. Ten days ago, the Qing army was discovered in Korqin. Even if we pursue it now, it would be too late.

"Regent?"

Ezhe looked at Li Xin with some anxiety.

Li Xin waved his hand and said, "Dorgon will definitely use troops to Juehua Island when he returns to Shenyang. Since I can't block him in Zhangjiakou, it's the same in Ningyuan. Don't worry, Dorgon doesn't care about Chahar for the time being. I will go to Tianjin in person and leave some troops to help you recover Chahar."

"Thank you, Regent!"

Ezhe thought about it, and thanked him.

Li Xin called out again: "Fei San, I will leave two artillery regiments and three infantry brigades for you, and I will be the commander of Xuanzhang Garrison and stationed in Jiexuanfu. Your mission is to fully cooperate with Ezhe to recover Chahar."

"Get orders!"

Fei San was delighted and replied with his fists!
