In the severe winter when the cold wind blows.
The ground is also frozen hard, so you need to be more careful than usual on such roads, whether in vehicles or on foot.
It stands to reason that in such weather and days, few people would walk outside. However, the gate of Beiyuan City is an exception.
There were two open city gates, one for vehicles and horses to pass through, and the other for pedestrians to pass through. At this time, there were long queues.
Those who stayed in the carriages were better off, but the poor people waiting in line had to work hard to resist the cold on their own.
However, in the face of such a situation, there was not much dissatisfaction on the faces of the people waiting in line, and most of them were full of anticipation and excitement.
Their chatter could be heard from time to time in the crowd.
"Look at the lanterns on the city wall. Do they look like the ones the Night Traveler sent to our village?"
"That's it, that's it, the same."
"It's quite cold on the way, but it's much better once we get to the city. It's just like being around the divine tripod in the village."
"The last time I came back to Beiyuan City was a year ago. Obviously the gates and walls haven't changed much, but it just feels different."
A row of red lanterns hung above the city wall, swaying in the wind, looking very festive. The magical thing is that the flames inside these lanterns are swaying and burning visibly to the naked eye. They are always swaying slowly in the wind and never show signs of extinguishing, giving people a warm and gentle feeling.
It was obviously very windy outside the city, especially at high places, so the fluttering lantern should not be in this posture.
This strange phenomenon adds an extra layer of mystery to Beiyuan City.
The other side was responsible for the city gate procession of carriages entering. There was a carriage that was large and gorgeous in appearance and was pulled by three horses.
One hand pushed open the wooden window and curtain, revealing half of an elegant face.
Just looking at this man's fair complexion and the temperament of his eyebrows, he knew that he must be a kid from a rich family.
He looked at it for a while, and then let another person in the car come closer.
"Yuan'er, what do you think of this scene?" Guan Feilian asked his beloved wife who was approaching.
Ruan Yuan said softly: "It's lively."
Guan Feilian said: "Yes, it's lively. It shouldn't be so lively."
Ruan Yuan saw the smile on her husband's lips, "Isn't this good?"
Guan Feilian nodded, "Yes, just right."
Ruan Yuan held his hand.
Guan Feilian felt the coolness of her palms and closed the window.
It didn't take long for their carriage to enter. The city defender received their identity documents and was surprised to prepare to salute, but Guan Feilian waved his hand to stop them.
After they entered, the city gate guards chatted with each other.
"Why is the governor of Qufeng City here?"
"Maybe you're here to join in the fun?"
"Maybe it's because I have something to do with Mr. Pei."
Qufeng City is also a border town, but its geographical location is slightly better than that of Beiyuan City, and it is considered a neighbor to Beiyuan City.
In the past, there was little contact between the two cities. The last route the royal team took in person was not the one in Qufeng City, and no one came from Qufeng City.
Today, Guan Feilian, the governor of Qufeng City, came in person, and Pei Yan quickly got the news.
Both sides are court officials with similar official positions. No matter what Guan Feilian is doing in Beiyuan City or whether he is keeping a low profile, he must say hello to him as a local official.
Sure enough, Pei Yan didn't have to look for it in person. It didn't take long before he received a message from Guan Feilian coming to visit him.
….
He went to greet him in person, and saw not only Guan Feilian, but also a young woman wearing a curtain hat.
Pei Xuan guessed the identity of the young woman - it was often heard that Guan Feilian and his wife had known each other since childhood. They had known each other since they were young, fell in love as adults and got married. They were indeed a rare couple in Yi State. No matter where Guan Feilian went, he would take his wife with him.
After the two parties met, Pei Yan invited the two people into the house.
They communicated politely for a quarter of an hour, and the conversation between the two parties was quite harmonious.
Because Guan Feilian did not play riddles, he bluntly stated that the purpose of coming to Beiyuan City was to take a look. Take a look at the changes in Beihara City and see what we can learn from and make progress.
square.
He has determined that there will be a cold wave coming this year, and the cold wave is also eroding the boundaries of Qufeng City. Even if it is on the edge, it will still bring a heavy blow to the people in charge of the boundary.
It would be great if Beihara Castle could have some way to resist the cold wave.
Guan Feilian didn't mean to take it for nothing, so he asked Pei Yan to call out the price, and everything would be easy to discuss.
Pei Yan saw Guan Feilian's sad expression when he talked about the cold current erosion and the suffering of the people, and then he remembered that the cold current in border towns had always been difficult and difficult, but these were no longer problems here in Beiyuan City.
"This... it's not that I don't want to tell you, but that this method is not available to everyone." Pei Yan saw Guan Feilian's love for the people and told him about the recent situation in Beiyuan City.
The night envoys went to bring warmth to the surrounding people. Among the supplies they sent, magical items such as burning stoves and lanterns came from Siye Mansion, while other mundane supplies were donated by powerful people in the city.
Partnership donations are nothing new among the powerful families in Beiyuan City.
Whenever there is any movement in Siye Mansion, these powerful families rush to participate, not afraid that you will take it, but that you will not accept it.
It's embarrassing to say that he, as the governor, also has a good reputation in this matter, but he didn't donate much (his family is not rich because he doesn't accept gifts and is greedy), so he had to take over the city's Pohan Night Parade Festival. We strive to achieve perfection in all aspects of our affairs.
Guan Feilian fell silent when he heard that the aristocratic families in Beiyuan City took the initiative to donate materials, and the amount of materials was still quite large.
In fact, in every realm there are some powerful families with large amounts of resources. If these people are willing to lend a helping hand, they can save more people. But most powerful people are unwilling to do business at a loss, and they cannot force the other party to do so.
"If you are poor, you can take care of yourself; if you are prosperous, you can help the world. There are always only a few people who can do this."
"It's really admirable that Lord Pei can make the powerful people in the city respect him so much and manage Beiyuan City with such benevolence and kindness." Ruan Yuan stood up and greeted Pei Xuan.
Pei Yan quickly stood up and stopped her, "Mrs. Guan, please sit down. Madam is speaking harshly. This is not Pei's ability."
When the two of them were talking before, Ruan Yuan kept quiet and didn't speak. Who would have expected this to happen suddenly.
After Pei Yan asked Ruan Yuan to sit down, he quickly explained that everything was the fault of Si Yefu. The powerful people in the city also looked at Si Yefu's face, and he was just following Si Yefu's footsteps.
When he said this, Pei Yan didn't have any sense of shame, and no matter what Guan Feilian thought, he was already one of the devout believers of Ye Youshen, and he was not ashamed to follow Si Ye Mansion's movements and was proud of it.
Guan Feilian asked Pei Yan, "Can you please Mr. Pei to introduce Mr. Mi from Siye Mansion to the two of us?"
Pei Yan didn't expect that it was Mi August when he opened his mouth, and his expression became serious, "It's not a problem if Mr. Guan wants to see Director Shen, but Mr. Mi doesn't just want to see him. If there is nothing important, it's best not to go. disturb."
From Pei Yan's point of view, many mundane matters are nothing to Mi August, and they should not bother her with these matters. "The former Governor Jiang of Lingji General Palace, as well as the heroine General Jiang, the Emperor's Master Xi Sir... are all in Si Ye's mansion, Master Guan can actually come to them if you need anything."
I mean don't disturb Mi August.
Although Guan Feilian had heard about it for a long time, he still felt a little uneasy when he heard that so many big figures gathered in Siye Mansion in the border town.
He thought for a moment and then followed Pei Yan's words, said goodbye to him and went to Siye Mansion.
Mi August has been in Siye Mansion for the past few days. When he had just finished a research break, the housekeeper sent a thick envelope, saying that it was from a governor of another city named Guan Feilian. The envelope was signed Mi One envy.
