Fu Mingyu felt that her eyes were a little dry, so she put down what she was holding and looked out the window.
The days flew by so fast, it was already winter, and the flowers, plants, and trees in the yard were already withered. Only a bunch of wild chrysanthemums that came from nowhere in the corner were still in full bloom, adding color to the slightly depressed courtyard.
A somewhat prosperous feeling.
Originally, the gardener of the Fu family wanted to eradicate this bush of wild chrysanthemums when he discovered it, but Fu Mingyu stopped him. She didn't expect that there were only a few wild chrysanthemums in the past, but now there was such a big bush, and it looked so big.
Quite gratifying.
"It's snowing!" Xinrui came back from outside and hugged a lot of famous cards, "Princess, it's snowing! It's the first snow this year!"
Only then did Fu Mingyu notice that there were scattered snowflakes floating outside. She couldn't help but frown slightly. Yes, it was snowing. The heavy snow in Mobei had probably been going on for almost a month.
Because of the heavy snowfall this winter, many tribes in Mobei have frozen to death many livestock, and their food rations are much less. Before spring, they will go south to grab food...
The war in Mobei is about to begin...
Although Fu Mingyu couldn't remember when the battle between Da Xie and Mobei Royal Court started in her previous life, she knew that it was caused by the heavy snow this winter.
In the eyes of the literati, the little snowflakes in the capital are just a piece of cake. However, the people on the border are short of food and clothing, and have suffered from frostbite and frostbite. Coupled with the large-scale invasion of the Mobei tribe's coalition forces, the situation on the border may be dire.
Very bad.
Fu Mingyu stood up and pushed away the embroidery stand in front of him, wanting to walk out.
"Where are you going, Princess?" Xinrui called, "Madam, I want you to take a look at these famous cards and see if there is anything else you need to add."
"You know everyone I know, you can just see for yourself." Fu Mingyu didn't have any intention of reading the famous post. She grabbed a cloak hanging on the bed and walked out. Zi Yan chased after him.
He went over and held up an umbrella for Fu Mingyu.
"Can you call Qin Rui out?" Fu Mingyu said to Zi Yan.
"Does the princess want to meet the future guest of honor?" Zi Yan was a little surprised. After all, Fu Mingyu is the most etiquette person and rarely does anything that is inconsistent with etiquette. The bride and groom are not allowed to meet before marriage. Fu Mingyu made such a request
, then there must be something important going on.
"Yes." Fu Mingyu nodded. "Invite him to the teahouse not far ahead. I have something to say to him."
"Okay." Zi Yan whispered a few words to Cheng Yun who followed him. Cheng Yun nodded, followed Fu Mingyu out of the Fu family's main door, and then went directly to the Qin Mansion through the small door.
Fu Mingyu waited in the teahouse for a while before Qin Rui arrived.
He was wearing a crow-green robe, and his black hair was tied back casually. He looked beautiful and unruly. He didn't bring an umbrella, and there was some snowflakes on his body. He simply raised his hand and patted it.
"The princess wants to see me?" Qin Rui's eyes lit up as soon as he came in. The girl he had been thinking about every day was right in front of him. If he hadn't been restrained by his mother, who said that two people couldn't meet before marriage, he was not allowed to find her.
Fu Mingyu, he had already climbed over the wall.
"Fifth Master." Fu Mingyu also nodded, and then asked him to sit down.
After the waiter came and served tea, Fu Mingyu asked straight to the point, "Is there any news coming back from the border?"
"Ah?" This sentence confused Qin Rui directly. "Is the princess asking where my father and brother are in Mobei?"
"Yes." Fu Mingyu nodded and calculated the time. Winter started in Mobei more than a month earlier than in the capital. It has snowed in the capital, and it should have been snowing in Mobei for more than a month.
"I haven't heard any news. My father and mother communicate by falcon every month. The latest letter from home also arrived a few days ago. The letter only said that your marriage to me will be solemn, and there is nothing else."
Qin Rui said.
"Did your brothers say anything to your sisters-in-law?" Fu Mingyu asked again.
"Then I don't know what they were whispering about." Qin Rui smiled, and then his heart softened. After he and Fu Mingyu got married, if he also led troops on an expedition, he would inevitably have to use Dabai to send letters. When they got married, he would have to
The best thing is to let Dabai get to know Fu Mingyu as soon as possible.
"But if there are any changes at the border, my brothers will tell my sisters-in-law, but my mother has never mentioned anything, so there should be nothing." Qin Rui continued. "Are you worried about changes at the border? Don't worry, if there is anything at the border
During the war, father and others will send news to the Ministry of War as soon as possible. We also have people in the Ministry of War who will always tell us what needs to be said."
No?
Could it be that she remembered it wrong?
Fu Mingyu was a little confused. She didn't know much about what happened at the border in her previous life. She only heard Zheng Wenxuan mention it when talking to people. She remembered that it should be this winter.
Maybe she remembered it wrong. After all, the Qin family has many connections in the Ministry of War. If there is any problem at the border, the Ministry of War will definitely know it immediately.
"It's best if nothing happens." Fu Mingyu breathed a sigh of relief. She also hoped that she had remembered it wrong... But in the previous life, the coalition forces from Mobei went south. Qin Rui's father and brothers would
One by one died in battle, and Qin Rui went to the battlefield.
"Remind your father and brothers, I'm afraid that this winter, the tribes in Mobei will be ready to move." Fu Mingyu still felt that she remembered correctly, and she said worriedly.
"Haha, don't worry. My father and brother have been stationed in Mobei for more than a year or two. Every year they send spies to inquire about the movements of many tribes in Mobei. If the situation changes, they will report it to the court immediately." Qin Rui said with a smile.
"That's really great!" Fu Mingyu nodded. "Do your father and brothers have enough military rations and cotton clothes in Mobei?"
"You don't have to worry about this!" Qin Rui said confidently, "Father and brother, they are not in Mobei overnight. They are all prepared. Even if they are blocked by heavy snow for a month, they don't have to worry about food.
Drink."
"Oh." Fu Mingyu really breathed a sigh of relief. Maybe she really remembered it wrong. The Mobei Allied Forces didn't come now, but they had to wait a little longer...
Calculating the time, she married Zheng Wenxuan in her previous life after the New Year. Maybe the coalition forces would go south after the New Year...
After all, it was freezing in the Mobei areas at that time, and the ice and snow would not melt until April of next year.
Fu Mingyu knows this, after all, she likes to read miscellaneous books when she has nothing to do, and her travel notes will record the scenery and humanities of various places.
"Do you only care about my father and brothers when you call me out?" Qin Rui asked cautiously when he saw that Fu Mingyu had stopped talking and seemed to be thinking about something.
"Ah?" Fu Mingyu suddenly came back to his senses. When he raised his eyes, he saw Qin Rui's enlarged and handsome face.
