Chapter 473 New Year’s Gift
The puppets were all in pairs. Ye Jintang took out a small cloth bag, separated the puppets and handed them to the two children who were already impatient.
"I like Xiao Jin the best."
Pingping took out the little golden eagle and looked at it carefully in the palm of his hand.
"Mom, is this really the little gold carved by Dad? He has never seen little gold, how could he carve it so similar?"
"Because golden eagles all look similar."
"How is that possible? Xiao Jin is unique. I can recognize Xiao Jin at a glance."
Pingping was very unconvinced. In his eyes, Xiaojin was different from other golden eagles.
"Of course, our little golden eagle is much smarter than other golden eagles."
As soon as Ye Jintang finished speaking, he heard knocking sounds on the window.
I saw a tuft of hair from the golden eagle's head sticking out from the window, and I knew without even looking who the banging sound came from.
"Is it time to eat?"
"Well, it seems so. Xiao Jin is the most enthusiastic when it comes to eating."
When standing up, Xiao Jin, who is still a young bird, is much shorter than two human cubs, but his appetite is as much as that of two humans. He can eat a whole chicken and a piece of beef in one meal.
If he eats like this, by the time spring comes, Xiao Jin will probably be as tall as Ping Ping An.
Ye Jintang received a gift from Xiao Mo on New Year's Eve, and Xiao Mo also received a gift from Ye Jintang.
Xiao Mo had no appetite at the New Year's Eve banquet. He went back to his bedroom after drinking two glasses of wine.
You should spend New Year's Eve with your beloved women and children. What's the point in talking about that with a bunch of old men?
"Hey, how can the ice and snow in Ningchuanzhou melt?"
Xiao Mo leaned back in his chair and sighed.
Originally, he wanted to wait until spring for Ye Jintang to bring the children back to Beijing.
Now he felt that he could not wait that long. After the New Year, he would go there in person to bring Ye Jintang and the two children to Beijing.
Xiao Mo was planning when to pick up Ye Jintang when Jiang Heng's voice came from outside the door.
"The Queen has prepared a New Year's gift for the Emperor."
Xiao Mo, who had been listless just now, sat up straight instantly.
"When did it happen? How come I have no idea about it?"
Xiao Mo was extremely excited as he took the brocade box handed over by Jiang Heng, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
"The Queen sent someone to deliver the New Year's gift some time ago. At that time, the Queen asked me not to tell the Emperor, and said that I would give it to the Emperor on New Year's Eve."
"You are still mine, but I feel like you are almost the queen's."
Xiao Mo scolded Jiang Heng, but the upturned corners of his lips told everyone how good his mood was at the moment.
The brocade box was opened, revealing a purple dress on top. No one knew what material it was made of, but the dress sparkled under the candlelight and felt very good. It was as smooth as water and very comfortable to the touch.
There are three sets of clothes in total. The purple uniform is the outer garment, and there is a set of silk padded jacket in the middle for keeping warm.
Xiao Mo was also a man who had seen a lot of good things. He knew as soon as he tried it with his hands that the silk jacket was made of extremely fine silk. The thick jacket looked very light and warm, which was very suitable for martial artists like him.
The bottom layer was a bright yellow lingerie. Xiao Mo was immediately delighted when he saw the color of the clothes.
Ye Jintang had long predicted that he would be able to ascend the throne before the New Year.
Holding the clothes that Ye Jintang made for him, Xiao Mo felt warm in his heart.
Ye Jintang was not someone who liked to talk about love all the time, and Xiao Mo could feel her deep love for him from her clothes.
She didn't know how to make clothes before, but later she heard from Nanny Zhang and Nanny Liu that if the couple in a noble family have a good relationship, the wife will make clothes for the husband herself.
Xiao Mo naturally knew about this, and he had also seen his subordinates showing off the clothes that their wives had sewn for them in front of him.
It would be a lie to say that he was not envious, but Ye Jintang was not good at needlework, so he couldn't force her.
That's why he was extremely happy when he received the clothes that Ye Jintang sent him.
No one knew when Ye Jintang learned needlework in order to sew clothes for him.
He gently stroked the clothes and saw that the stitches were fine and neat. It was obvious that she had been learning this for a long time.
There was also a small jade box and a letter at the bottom of the clothes.
Inside the jade box was a black pill called Tiegu Wan, a variation of Changsheng Wan. Taking it could strengthen the body's bones.
All the medicinal materials used to make Tiegu Pills come from the space. Their efficacy is much better than what is recorded in medical books. After Ye Jintang made it, the first person he thought of was Xiao Mo.
He leads troops in battles all day long, and getting injured is a common occurrence for him.
After taking Tiegu Pills, his body will become stronger and at least some minor fractures can be avoided.
When Xiao Mo read the description of the Iron Bone Pills in Ye Jintang's letter, the first thing he thought of was not to use it himself, but to give it to the Xuanjia Army.
Although Iron Bone Pills may seem useless as they can only strengthen bones, on the battlefield, a charging soldier's bones being hard enough is absolutely the key to survival.
Thinking of this, Xiao Mo's hands trembled with excitement.
This New Year's gift is really precious.
In his letters to Xiao Mo, Ye Jintang mostly urged him not to stay up late and not to neglect his meals because of government affairs.
Reading the nagging instructions in the letter, Xiao Mo felt sweet in his heart. It seemed that his wife still missed him very much.
When they were in Ningchuan City before, Ye Jintang would always find various reasons to ask him to accompany her for dinner. In fact, he understood that she was afraid that he would forget to eat when he was busy.
Now that she was not watching over him, his lunch and dinner were often delayed, especially at night. When he was so busy, he had no time to eat.
He really can't live without Ye Jintang by his side.
"Hey, when will the snow in Ningchuan City melt? I can't wait to bring Jintang back to the capital."
Xiao Mo muttered to himself while quickly calculating in his mind the time it would take for the ice and snow to melt. It would take several months before he could see Ye Jintang and the children.
"No, I don't want to wait any longer."
On New Year's Eve, Xiao Mo came up with a crazy plan. He wanted to see his beloved as quickly as possible.
A few days after the New Year, Jiang Heng finally completed the investigation of Xia Ying's background.
"Jiang Heng, you are not capable enough now. It takes so long to investigate a little girl."
"Your Majesty, I have found some interesting things, which delayed me for some time."
"Oh?"
Xiao Mo opened the secret letter and scanned it quickly.
"I never thought that Marquis Danyang had done such a dirty thing in the past."
"I felt something was a little strange when I was investigating Xia Changgui. There were many suspicious things about Aunt Xia's death. In addition, the Danyang Marquis's family was not kind people. It was impossible for them to support Xia Changgui's family for no reason. There must be something wrong."
"I spent a lot of effort to find out the reason. Later, I found out from the palace that the Marquis of Danyang was very close to the palace's General Manager Xia, and this General Manager Xia was in charge of supervising the statistics of spoils of war."
"Although I don't have any evidence yet, there are various signs that the Marquis of Danyang tampered with the spoils of war."
This incident happened a long time ago, and Jiang Heng could not find any evidence and could only make a rough guess.
However, Xiao Mo believed it without a doubt. He had led troops in battles himself and naturally knew the ins and outs of it.
