Chapter 833 The Peaceful Years Are Because Someone Is Carrying the Burden Forward
Bookshops and bookstores sprang up overnight in the North Wing like bamboo shoots after rain. Shi Anxia had been preparing bookshops in various places under the guise of traveling for this year, all for this moment.
She had not informed Emperor Mingde about this matter. She just felt that Beiyi and Wan would have a war sooner or later, and it was better to make plans early than later.
I didn't expect it to be used so quickly.
The so-called splashing ink to write the Spring and Autumn Annals, and wielding a brush to repel all enemies. Only by attacking the heart and attacking the city can we exchange the greatest victory for the smallest loss.
Shi Anxia has never slacked off since the "Clear Dust Plan".
She was afraid that she could not escape her fate, and she was even more worried that her plan to kill Booth, the scourge, would eventually lead to the Wan Kingdom coming to fight.
Emperor Mingde did not dare to start a war lightly before, but Anxia had to make plans in advance. Now that Emperor Mingde is willing to lead the army in person, the establishment of the bookstore is just right.
Bookstores were widely set up, post roads were opened, and even all merchant ships were requisitioned.
Books were carried out of the capital by carts and boats in an endless stream.
This day is New Year's Eve, a time when families reunite.
In the North Wing this year, many people were unable to return home and reunite with their families.
The inability to reunite today is for a better reunion in the future.
Shi Anxia stood at the dock. The cold wind blew up her hair and made her nose red.
At this time, it was just dawn.
In the distance, ships are slowly leaving the port, loaded with books, exuding a faint scent of ink in the morning light.
"Your Highness, the last ship of the day has departed." The inspector who was in charge of dispatching the ships came forward to report.
Shi Anxia nodded slightly, "Thank you for your hard work, sir."
The inspector bowed and took his leave.
Bei Hui led a group of busy servants to come over and replied, "Madam, the dumplings and glutinous rice balls have all been distributed."
We came to the dock at midnight today so that people who are traveling far away can have a bite of hot dumplings and glutinous rice balls on New Year's Eve.
Shi Anxia nodded and slowly walked towards the low-key black flat-top carriage.
There were two cats and a dog in the carriage, curled up with their eyes wide open.
Shi Anxia got in the car, sat down, touched their heads, and closed his eyes to rest.
The delicate white cat stretched lazily, took a few tentative steps forward, pawed its master with its claws, then meowed and crawled into her arms.
Shi Anxia had no choice but to put down the hot water bottle and hold the cat in her arms.
Same, both can warm your hands.
The wheels rolled over the bluestone road, making a dull sound. Shi Anxia lifted the curtain and looked at the towering city wall in the distance.
Passing through the downtown area, it was bustling with people.
Caishikou was already crowded with people, with lanterns hanging high, casting a warm yellow glow on the street.
The vendors carried their loads on their shoulders, and their baskets were piled high with fresh leeks, cabbages, radishes, and winter bamboo shoots that had just been dug out of the ground. The fresh leaves were covered with morning dew and white frost.
There were shouts everywhere.
"Fresh chives! May you have a long and prosperous life!"
"Cabbage! Cabbage! A fortune will come in, and you will be rich in the coming year!"
Shi Anxia stopped the carriage and said to Bei Hui, "Let's buy some leeks and cabbages to bring back home for good luck. See if you have anything else and buy them together."
It also allows people to sell their products early and go home to celebrate the New Year as the weather is cold.
Bei Hui got off the carriage and bought several large bundles, which the coachman carried to the front seat of the carriage.
The reunion dinner at the Marquis' Mansion went on as usual. But Shi Yunqi couldn't come back, and even Tang Chujun and Yu Sujun were working non-stop in the Northern Propaganda Department.
Probably because a new task has arrived.
There are actually six volumes in total for "The Northern Wing Emperor Guards the National Gate", namely "Iron Blood Volume", "War Fire Volume", "Mountains and Rivers Volume", "Dragon Soaring Volume", "Ten Thousand People Volume", and "Four Seas Volume".
The one that came out now was the "Iron Blood Volume". Yu Sujun and Tang Chujun were currently working on the "War Fire Volume".
In other words, both women will be very busy for at least the next two years. Of course, this may also be the most glorious moment of their lives.
In addition, Cen Yuan cannot come back, and Ye Baoer cannot come back either.
Shi Anxue, who hadn't seen Ye Baoer for a long time, felt depressed, but it didn't show on her face.
At such a young age, she already understood one thing: her mother could not come back to reunite with them because Beiyi needed her.
Ye Baoer couldn't come back to play with her because Beiyi needed it.
She had eavesdropped on conversations between her brother and his students.
Someone said, "The world is peaceful because there are people who carry the burden forward."
"You think that this world is safe and secure, but it is just someone who has to overcome all the difficulties along the way."
Shi Anxue thought it made sense. Her mother was the one who carried the burden forward, and her father shouldn't always quarrel with her.
Shi Anxia went forward and hugged Shi Anxue, and asked someone to give her a little white dog, "Here, this is Ye Baoer's pet."
The little white dog wagged its tail docilely. It was no longer a puppy, but it was still small, furry, and very cute.
Shi Anxue was very easy to coax. She picked up the little white dog with a smile and touched its face with her little face.
Everyone praised Shi Anxue as a cute and obedient girl.
Shi Anxue also thinks that she is a cute and obedient girl.
This year, the elders paid special attention to Shi Chengyi's family, and praised Shi Yunzhou for his diligence in studying, saying that he would be as brilliant as his cousin Shi Yunqi in the future.
Shi Yunzhou said modestly, "I dare not compare myself with my cousin. He is a star in the sky, lighting the way for thousands of students." He then pulled Qiu Zhiyan over and said, "Brother Zhiyan also has amazing knowledge, which is worth learning from Yunzhou."
Qiu Zhiyan originally didn't want to come to the Marquis' Mansion to celebrate New Year's Eve, but Shi Anxia and the Marquis's mistress Wei Cailing invited him so kindly that he would seem stingy and pretentious if he didn't bring his sister Qiu Hongyan with him.
He bowed and said, "I'm ashamed."
He didn't want to say much, and didn't want to show off in such an occasion, because he could see that the Shi family was obviously leaning towards Shi Chengyi's family.
He also knows why.
My second uncle Shi Chengxuan and my second aunt divorced. The Shi family no longer had the benefit of Mr. Chu Sheng, so they naturally had to rely on Mrs. Xuezhou.
It cannot be said that the family is materialistic. They praise whoever can bring honor to the family. It has been like this since ancient times.
Indeed, everyone praised Shi Yunzhou for being sensible and Shi Anxue for being well-behaved. Even Shi Anyu, who changed her name, was praised, saying that she was calm and had the style of her stepmother.
These words!
Shi Anyu was also very calm and generous. "My stepmother treated Anyu as her own child and often taught Anyu not to be impatient when doing things."
Everyone praised Yu Sujun for his good parenting. The elders then turned to the topic and congratulated Shi Chengyi, saying that it was a blessing for the family to have such a virtuous wife, which brought honor to the family.
In the past, Shi Chengyi would have felt bitter about his wife's achievement. But after some self-reflection and the inexplicable respect he felt for his wife as they grew increasingly distant, he was able to slowly begin to feel some glory and joy.
Initially he was afraid that his wife would file for divorce, but later he realized that his wife would not leave him or their children, and he felt reassured.
Once he took the reassurance pill and reflected on himself for a few days, he seemed to have regained his former calmness, and even his eyesight became clearer. He responded sincerely, "It's Cheng Yi's luck."
At that time, Anxia observed the expression of her uncle and knew that he had finally overcome the hurdle in his heart. He believed that he would be able to remain calm in the future, so she was happy for him.
But there is still a thunder, and no one knows when it will explode.
