6, Chapter Six(1/2)

Seeing Qichi walking far away, Luo Xiaoyi turned around and plunged into the room.

The warm and hot steam made him feel comfortable all over, but he didn't care about enjoying it. He approached the bed and whispered: "Third Brother, why are you so generous? I have long noticed that the mansion has changed everywhere. My sister-in-law's expense is quite large. How to bear it?"

Fu Ting asked again without answering: "Did you use military expenses to give her a gift?"

Luo Xiaoyi defended: "What is military expenditure? That's the tax you deserve. You have used it as military expenditure yourself. What's wrong with me leaving it for you for some household use?"

Fu Ting thought this was nonsense. If there was no military spending to prevent foreign enemies, he would have lost his life, so what else would he talk about?

He sat in a while, took out his seal from his arms and threw it to him.

Luo Xiaoyi held the seal and understood his meaning without waiting for him to speak. His eyes were like a copper bell: "Is the third brother going to give his old money to his sister-in-law to his sister-in-law?"

Futing said: "My people don't take mine, who do you take?"

Luo Xiaoyisi thought about it all over the place. Given his third brother's character, he was not a person who was used to saving money. It must be useful to keep the money forever, and he didn't move for a while.

Just then, Xinlu's voice came from outside, saying that the charcoal fire had been burned for him in the room and asked him to rest.

Futing said, "Get out."

Luo Xiaoyi gritted his teeth and thought to himself, he spent all the money, he had to sleep until the pot of charcoal was burned out before he could save the original situation!

After thinking about it, I turned my head and went out.

Xinlu outside carefully closed the door.

Fu Ting threw the sword pressing beside him to the ground, took off his military uniform and boots, and poured it onto the bed.

The bed has also changed, and it is soft underneath it and is covered with thick cashmere.

There was a scent of scent on the pillow, and his fingers twisted into a slender hair.

Many are the breath of women.

This time I slept until dark.

The reason I woke up was because the room was too hot.

Fu Ting sat up with his eyes open, sweating on his body.

After getting out of bed, I walked to the desk and saw a pair of exquisite tea sets on it.

He opened the mouth of the pot containing water on the cold stove, held it up and poured cold water on his neck, and the door was knocked.

Two maids bowed their heads and greeted them: "The Protector of Dadu has woken up and has prepared hot bath soup for the Protector of Dadu at the order of the head of the family."

After saying that, Xinlu goes to the lights and Qiufrost goes to the screen.

More than a dozen lamp holders were lit, and the room was as bright as day.

The hot soup was poured into the bathtub, and the two of them left again.

Fu Ting saw that they came in as soon as there was any movement, and obviously had been waiting for it for a long time.

He glanced at Hu's chair and licked his teeth soaked in cold water. His wife had sat upright there before.

Perhaps the royal women are all so impeccable.

I untied my clothes and went in. A golden plate was placed beside the bathtub, which contained dozens of bath beans. It was snow-white all over, and it was as frost as snow, and the fragrance was swaying.

This kind of thing is loved by the princes and princes from Luoyang, Chang'an and Luoyang. He was a military man and never used it.

For example, the specifications in front of you are priced in pieces, and each grain is as good as gold. Perhaps it may not be able to be used in the palace for a few times.

Li Qichi is even more delicate than he thought.

...

When Luo Xiaoyi came over again, Fu Ting had already taken a shower and the servants had just cleaned up the room.

"Third brother, this kind of enjoyment is a fairy day, and I don't want to leave anymore."

He also took a shower after he had enough sleep. Unlike Futing, he obviously used a lot of bath beans and could smell a greasy fragrance from afar.

Xinlu and Qiushuang happened to come in and smiled when they heard this.

They came to invite meals. Since Luo Xiaoyi was in the Great Protector's Room, he simply brought the meals.

Set up a table and set up a seat.

Futing and Luo Xiaoyi each took the same case.

He sat there wearing his outer robe, his arms and knees, and no one dared to see how the Protector described it.

As the dishes were served one by one, Luo Xiaoyi's eyes widened wider.

As the saying goes, dishes are expensive, but not expensive, but these dishes are something that the general has never tasted.

I took a look at the servants waiting outside the door. It seemed that they had used up all these in front of them, and there were still new ones to be sent in.

I thought what he saw before was a great luxury, but when I saw these dishes, I realized that they were just rare.

He couldn't help but leaned over and said, "Third brother, why don't I go and persuade my sister-in-law and ask her to be more frugal?"

"Stop talking nonsense." Fu Ting picked up the chopsticks, and that meant, just eat it, get out if you don't eat it.

Luo Xiaoyi touched his face. His third brother was a man of iron, but the Qingliu County Lord was a precious egg. How could he live like this?

After finally getting through a supper, Luo Xiaoyi had been bothering him enough and was about to say goodbye.

Before leaving, he forced a smile and joked: "The third brother spent too much today, but if he wanted to get it back from his sister-in-law, I won't disturb you and your wife."

Fu Ting ignored him, and his white toes flashed through his mind.

Luo Xiaoyi saw that his eyes were pitch black in the light, like a wolf, and the thief left with a smile.

I didn't expect that as soon as I turned around the corridor, I met Qiu Shuang, who said that the head of her family asked the general to go over and say a few words.

Luo Xiaoyi changed his mind and thought: I should talk about the expenses.

Could it be that she is quite anxious to ask for money?

Qichi is at Li Yan's residence.

While Fu Ting and the others were resting and having dinner, she practiced with her nephew for a long time and stopped when she heard that someone had invited her.

Li Yan put away the two copybooks in a neat way. He looked up and saw Luo Xiaoyi entering the door, curled his lips, and stood next to his aunt without saying a word.

When Luo Xiaoyi saw that the young prince who had been offended by him was also there, he smiled embarrassedly and held his fists to greet him: "I wonder what will the county lord's sister-in-law Zhao Mo have in the future?"

Qi Chi sat in the dark, unable to see his expression clearly, so he raised his hand, and Xinlu next to him came over and presented him with a wooden box.

Luo Xiaoyi answered and opened it with doubts.

There is a dagger inside, and the sheath is made of gold, and it is heavy in your hand.

He looked surprised: "Is this?"

Qichi said: "Thank you for giving gifts after several expenses."

Luo Xiaoyi's heart was cold again. According to his third brother's intention, the expenses must be covered. Why should he take his third brother's things?

Just as I was about to find a reason to refuse, I heard Qichi say again, "I'm asking you to come, I want to say that the Protector said he would take on my expenses, and you don't have to do so. After all, I'm married and I'm a husband and wife. If I spend some money, I'm too slutty."

Luo Xiaoyi was stunned. Unexpectedly, she was so generous and knew the general. She didn't ask for money, but gave it to her.

He tentatively said, "This is not a small expense."

Qi Chi smiled while talking: "Don't worry, I have been in the Guangwang Mansion for many years. If I had the luxury of spending, I would no longer have the same I and Prince Guang in front of you."

Luo Xiaoyi understood, she meant that she could afford it.

My mom, what kind of woman does his third brother marry? Could it be that all the women in the royal family are so rich and generous?

It was late at night, and Qichi was unable to stay with him as a foreign man for a long time. He didn't give him much leisure to think about it. He just said the intention of calling him here: "I just want to know why the dignified Anbei Protectorate Mansion is like now?"

Spending money is a trivial matter, she has to buy it to understand.

As far as she knows, the major border guards do not have to pay tribute to the court, and the taxes collected can be used for their own use. If there is no reason, this situation should not be achieved.

Luo Xiaoyi held the wooden box in one hand and touched the seal given to him by Fu Ting in his arms with the other hand. He was still considering his face, but then he thought that after a long time, he couldn't keep the fire from being in trouble. It would be better to tell her to forget it.

So he sighed and said, "The county lord sister-in-law doesn't know anything, but in fact it was not like this in the past..."

After all, the northern land is vast and has many tribes, so there is no need to worry about taxes in the past.

Unfortunately, a plague swept over the past few years, tens of thousands of cattle and sheep were damaged, and thousands of hectares of land were not harvested.

After several years of incurred taxes, the Turks in the north took advantage of the situation and entered.

Wars are just about burning money. After one or two battles, the inventory will be empty.

After expelling foreign enemies, we have to strengthen our military preparations and prevent wars from happening again every year. Over time, we will naturally not be able to make ends meet.

If a noble family came to be the capital of Anbei University, there might be a family support, but who will help him who started from scratch like his third brother?

Li Yan was surprised and unconsciously grabbed his aunt's sleeve.

Qichi pulled him over and held it in his hand and asked, "Didn't the court ask?"

Luo Xiaoyi laughed helplessly: "I have asked about it in the court, but after a while, other Protectorate Mansions rushed to cry for poverty. The six major Protectorate Mansions in the world, after a while, the saints would shake their heads, not to mention that our Anbei Protectorate Mansion is still strong..."

Thinking of the woman in front of him, he quickly stopped talking and scratched the man with one finger.
