After lunch in the afternoon, the soldiers took a nap to find a warm place.
Xiao Jue was talking to the deputy commander-in-chief at the performance martial arts field. He ordered the daily training content for the next month. Lin Shuanghe came over and took a fan forward to him from afar, instructing him to borrow a step to speak.
Xiao Jue finished explaining the matter and walked to Lin Shuanghe. He walked impatiently and said, "Aren't you going to the hospital to help?"
Lin Shuanghe was doing nothing for a long time. Recently, the weather was cold. Shen Muxue used a large pot to cook the soup used to repel the cold and warm the stomach, and distributed it to everyone. Because of lack of manpower, Lin Shuanghe volunteered to help. He paid attention to the fact that his son was a party, and the soldiers in Liangzhouwei didn't take a bath and were sloppy and smelled bad. They died after two days of help.
"I was going to go there, and I met someone halfway. A guest came to Liangzhou Wei," he said.
Xiao Jue: "Who?"
There was a meaningful smile on Lin Shuanghe's face: "Xu Pingting...the close maid."
...
In the room, the young maid stood in front of the door smilingly, and Xiao Xiao opened the boxes one by one in the room and said, "This is a gift that the young lady personally selected and gave to the four sons."
Today, Prime Minister Xu Jingfu is in power. Half of the officials in the court were his students. He has lived for most of his life and has an excellent reputation. The emperor also trusts him. If there are any regrets, he has no children at his knees. Later, he sought out a famous doctor for personal diagnosis and treatment. When he was in his fifties, his wife Laomu Hanzhu finally gave birth to a daughter, Xu Pingting.
When he got old, he got such a pearl on his hand. The Xu family was almost obedient to Xu Pingting. I was afraid that the princess would not be as spoiled by her. Xu Pingting was born on the 17th of this year. He was also a charming little beauty, but his temperament was extraordinarily overbearing and difficult to resist.
Chu Zhao is Xu Jingfu's most proud student. He often goes to the Xu's house for dinner. Once he comes and goes, he knows Xu Pinting.
"Mo Mo's sister Zhou Che was tired," Ying Xiang smiled and handed a cup of tea, said: "Drink some tea to warm your body."
Mo Mo glanced at Ying Xiang, and Pei Xiaorou didn't smile: "Finally, the slave-servant doesn't drink rough tea from Liangzhou Wei."
Ying Xiang was not annoyed. She still had a smile on her face and took the tea away. Mo Mo looked at Ying Xiang's back, and there was a trace of contempt in his eyes, and he scolded Hu Meizi in his heart.
This kind of Hu Meizi follows the four sons of Chu every day, knowing whether she will use the means of seduce people on her master. Although Miss Xu is also young and beautiful, Yu Chenghuan is flatter than this slut. Xu Pingting did not think about driving Ying Xiang away from Chu Zhao, but unfortunately, Chu Zhao, who had always been gentle, refused categorically, and finally Xu Xiang personally came forward to expose the matter.
Isn't it a minion who needs such care? Mo Mo was dissatisfied in his heart, but he could not vent to Chu Zhao.
She looked around at Chu Zhao’s house, and then shook her head a moment later:
The place where the four sons lived is too shabby. The slave-in-law stayed here for a while, and she felt her hands and feet were cold. There was no charcoal fire here. Look. In the past two months, the four sons have suffered."
"No problem," Chu Zhao replied warmly: "All recruits here are like this."
"How can they compare with you?" Moss said: "Can't you confuse yourself with the lowly bitch."
A trace of coldness flashed in Chu Zhao's eyes, and then he raised his head again, a gentle look. He asked: "Moss girl is here, but is something wrong?"
"It's okay," Moss said with a smile: "It's just that Miss hasn't seen Sisong for a long time, and I missed it a bit. When I heard that Liangzhou was extremely cold in winter, the slave-maid brought the convoy to give Sisong some warm clothes."
She stooped down, took out a fur coat from the box, and walked to Chu Zhao in front of her, saying, "This is what the young lady personally collects from the merchant, and it can be worn to keep out the cold. Will the four sons try it?"
Fur coats are smooth and smooth, soft and light, and they are very valuable at a glance.
Chu Zhao stood up, put his fur on his body, and thanked with a smile: "It's very warm, thank you, Miss, for me."
Mo Mo covered his mouth and smiled, "This slave servant can't be replaced. To thank you, the four sons still talk to the lady." She seemed to remember something and asked Chu Zhao: "When will the four sons plan to return to Shuojing?" "
"It's been these two days."
"The slave-maid looked at Liangzhou as a place where no one was staying. If the young lady was here, she would be distressed by the four sons. How about starting tomorrow? How about leaving early, returning to Shuojing earlier, and seeing the young lady earlier. "She smiled slightly. "Before the slave left, the old man told the eldest son about the four sons."
Although she was searching, the tone was undoubted, and the decision had been made in the joke. Chu Zhao cannot be refuted.
Chu Zhao paused for a moment, raised his head, and said with a smile: "Okay, we will start tomorrow, and I miss my husband too."
"That's great." Moss's face suddenly blossomed a flower, urging the little man to take out the contents of the box one by one.
"The box is full of warm clothes. The slave-servant will first take it out for you, wait for the arrangement, and then help you clean up the salute for tomorrow's departure." She said: "I also hope that the four sons will not blame the slave-servant for trouble."
"Why?" Chu Zhao smiled: "I'm too late to thank you."
Ying Xiang stood behind the curtain and looked at the Moss in the house with her eyes directed. Her eyes dropped, she stood quietly for a moment, and walked away.
...
It was dark early in the winter evening. Lights were on in the room.
Lin Shuanghe lay on his back and spit out the melon seed skin in his mouth, saying, "What's the matter with Xu Pinting's maid, from day to night, she didn't let Chu Zhao leave? I didn't know that she was Miss Xu Da, It’s too obvious to declare the performance of everything. I now feel that Chu Zilan is a little pitiful."
Xiao Jue was sitting at the table reading the military text and heard the words: "Poor words, you can go and rescue him."
"It's still forgotten," Lin Shuanghe sat up with his hands behind his head. "Who can blame? It's not to blame Chu Zilan himself. Who told him to look good and have a gentle temper. In the capital, everyone is the object of competition. He also hurried to please Xu Jingfu, which was also expected by Miss Xu."
Xiao Jue laughed: "It is his skill to really be the son-in-law of the Xu family."
"Also," Lin Shuanghe took to Xiao Jue's words deeply: "He was originally bullied and bullied in the Shijinbo Mansion. Later, if it was not because of Xu Jingfu's relationship, how could he be remembered under the name of his mother-in-law? "Miss," Lin Shuanghe said: "In Shi Jinbo Mansion, Chu Zilan will be the master in the future!"
Everyone says that women tend to become more irritated, so if you find a good husband's family, you can lean against the big tree to enjoy the cool weather. How is a man different? When there is a real interest, all the choices are just to live better. The so-called likes and dislikes, willingness to be willing, and true or not are not important.
I do not know whether it is Xu Pingting's sorrow or Chu Zilan's sorrow.
"I think the maid said that care is fake, and it is true to monitor him." Lin Shuanghe spread his hand. "Chu Zilan don't want to sleep tonight."
"Chu Zilan?" Cheng Lisu's head protruded through the window. "What's wrong with him, isn't he going to see the moon with my elder brother tonight?"
"What looks at the moon?" Lin Shuanghe asked.
"I went to see the moon at the foot of Baiyue Mountain. I originally wanted to find my elder brother to watch my newly learned puppet show. My elder brother said that tonight with the fourth son of Chu went to watch the moon, he could only change to tomorrow." Cheng Lisu looked at Lin Shuanghe And looked at Xiao Jue again, "Uncle, what did you just say, what do you mean?"
Xiao Jue pressed his head back out the window and closed the window: "Go back to sleep."
Cheng Lisu failed to smash the window outside and had to leave for a while.
After he left, Lin Shuanghe touched his chin and asked, "My sister He and Chu Zilan made an appointment to see the moon tonight? Are they developing so fast?"
Xiao Jue continued to read the military text, too lazy to ignore him.
"No," Lin Shuanghe got up from the slump. "I have to check it out."
He went directly to the middle door of the two rooms and shot the door: "Brother He? Brother He! Are you here, Brother He? Just say it."
He attached his ear to the other end, and there was no sound in the door.
Lin Shuanghe took a few more shots and still didn't answer. He stepped back two steps and said to himself: "Will my sister He who doesn't know that Xu Pingting is here yet? Go and see the moon by yourself?"
"Huaijin!" he shouted.
Xiao Jue was so shocked by his words that his ears hurt, and impatiently said, "What are you doing?"
"My sister He may have gone to see the moon alone," Lin Shuanghe walked to him, "you go find it."
"Don't go." Xiao Jue said indifferently: "I'll go to you."
"I want to go. Baiyue Mountain is so big, I don't know the way. What if there are gangsters on the mountain like the previous incident of Rida Muzi? You have the military function to resist one or two. , Do you regret it if you are killed?"
Xiao Jue: "No regrets."
"Why are you like this?" Lin Shuanghe simply sat on his table and blocked the military. He bitterly persuaded: "You look at my sister He, how pitiful. Chu Zhao does not know that she is a woman, It’s gentle to everyone. But Sister He is the first time to meet such a gentle person. Her daughter’s family is delicate and naturally easy to be touched. But her identity cannot be revealed, she can only hide this love in her heart. The sweetheart asks her She must have been very happy to see the moon, but she didn’t know that her sweetheart had long been a son-in-law identified by others. She must be alone on the mountain now. She must be very cold and sad. Can’t you just take a look at her? Comfort her?
Xiao Jue wondered about his thoughts: "She likes Chu Zilan, she touched the wall, I'm comforting? What makes sense?"
"Now is your good time!" Lin Shuanghe encouraged him: "Now is the best opportunity to take advantage of this!"
Xiao Jue sneered: "Then I won't go anymore."
"Good," Lin Shuanghe said: "Let's not talk about feelings. She is your soldier, you are her boss, and sister He also helped you save Liangzhou Wei some time ago. You should always care about your subordinates."
"I am her boss, not her father." Xiao Jue coolly said: "Besides, she has legs, and no one will come back naturally."
Lin Shuanghe was silent for a moment and asked him: "Do you think she is the kind of person who can't wait to give up?"
Xiao Jue's hand with a pen.
In front of him, a picture of a young man running with a sandbag on his back in the martial arts field appeared.
He Yan is not a person who gives up lightly. Sometimes she is very clever and cunning, but sometimes she is stubborn and persistent. It's hard to say whether this is attachment or stupidity, but Lin Shuanghe is right. With her temperament, she may have waited all night on the mountain.
ill.
Seeing Xiao Jue's attitude loosened, Lin Shuanghe immediately added fuel and added vinegar, "You think about it, she is only sixteen years old, a little girl, it's not easy to get to this step in Liangzhou Wei now. It is so difficult for Chu Zilan It’s too pitiful to strike. You should do good deeds, go up the mountain and bring her back. She is grateful to you and will be sincere in selling her life in the future."
Seeing that Xiao Jue didn't move, Lin Shuanghe added the last fire: "Ms. Xiao was the most benevolent when she was alive. If she saw sister He, she would definitely help."
"Shut up." Xiao Jue couldn't bear it. He grabbed the big clover and stood up and walked out the door, saying, "I'm going."
Lin Shuanghe looked at his back and was very satisfied: "This is the real man."
...
At the foot of Baiyue Mountain, there is a huge rock, which stretches out flat and looks like a stone platform. Walk down the stone platform all the way to the end, you can hear the sound of water waves.
Looking down, at the foot is a magnificent river, and looking up, the moon and the moon shine thousands of miles across the mountains and rivers.
He Yan sat down at the end of the stone, and the sound of the water was slamming, beating the distant reef again and again. Like a deep ancient sound from distant time and space, it is long and distant.
See you when I made an appointment with Chu Zhao. I don't know when it is now. She found the pavilion that Chu Zhao said, but the pavilion was not laid out, and it was unclear what was going on.
Maybe she should go down to find Chu Zhao, but when she came here, once she sat down, she never wanted to get up again.
The four forests are snowy, the white mountains cover a mountain, and the moonlight spills over the entire river, clearing and clearing.
It was a beautiful moonlight and a beautiful snowy color. He Yan felt tired and sat on his knees, looking at the end of the river.
She likes night more than day, like the moon, more than the sun. Just because in the years of "He Rufei", the mask did not leave, but the mask was sultry and heavy, and the boy was naughty, always quiet in the night, secretly taking the next incense time.
No one can see the true face under the mask, except the moon outside the window.
She reached out and tried to catch the moonlight hanging in the distant mountains and rivers. The moonlight fell gently on her hand, as if it would stay for her forever.
"What are you doing?" Someone's voice came from behind.
He Yan turned around and saw the young man in the fox and fur suit walking from the depths of the night. He was extremely tall and revealed a cool and handsome appearance.
Xiao Jue.
He Yan was stunned and looked subconsciously behind him. Xiao Jue saw her like this and sneered: "Chu Zilan is not coming."
"Why?" He Yan asked.
Xiao Jue glanced at her: "There are people coming from the capital. If something can't go away, let me speak."
He Yan nodded, and Fu looked at him in surprise again: "Du Du will actually speak for the four sons of Chu?"
Xiao Jue and Chu Zhao were incompatible. It was incredible that Chu Zhao let Xiao Jue come to talk, and Xiao Jue actually listened to his words and came here to find her, which was even more shocking.
"You can still care about this, it seems not very sad." He said, sitting down on the other side of the boulder.
The winter night wind blew, and it was so cold that He Yan asked: "Why should I be sad?" As soon as the words fell, he sneered with a "sneeze".
Liangzhouwei's vigorous outfit, although it is a cotton coat in winter, can be blown out at night, and it is really cold enough. She sat there happily, her face pale and pale, like a blue jade, with a fragile transparency.
Xiao Jue was silent for a moment, and the next moment, stood up.
He Yan was about to raise her head, covered her head with a fox fur, and turned her hood black, and when she got out of the fox fur, Xiao Jue had returned to her original position and sat down.
The fur was slightly warm, and the wind and snow came out in an instant. He Yan froze for a long time before saying: "Thank you."
Xiao Jue turned his head and looked at her.
The young girl had her hair tied up, wearing his black fur coat, her shoulders were extremely narrow, and she looked thin. At first, she was lively and chattering all day long, and only felt that the noise was a headache, but when she was quiet, it seemed to change. Became another person.
Uncomfortable.
Xiao Jue looked at her with her eyes down, and after a moment, she bent her lips, "It's really ugly to look like you are bitter and hatred deep." After a pause, she said, "Can't bear Chu Zilan?"
"What?" He Yan was inexplicable.
"I wasn't as disheartened as you were when I was dying," he said lazily. "It seems to be very much like it."
He Yan didn't understand what he said.
"You have to die or live before you leave. What will you do when he leaves tomorrow?" Xiao Jue looked at the river in the distance.
"Tomorrow?" He Yan was startled, "So fast?"
She remembered that Chu Zhao told her it was these days, but she didn't say it was tomorrow.
Xiao Jue looked at her with a smile: "Is it urgent?"
"No," He Yan said: "I'm just a little surprised..." Thinking of something again, he said sadly: "Also, he wants to catch up with Xu... Uncle Xu's wedding banquet, he has to leave early."
He Yan asked Xiao Jue: "Does the Governor know the master of the Xu family in Beijing?"
Xiao Jue: "Hear."
"Xu Zhiheng is about to get married, and the four sons of Chu hurried back, just to catch up with his wedding feast." He Yan's voice was dry.
"It's Xu Zhiheng who is married, not Chu Zilan," Xiao Jue frowned, "Look at what you are doing now, and want to enter Jiuqi Camp?"
He Yan smiled reluctantly and was about to speak. Xiao Jue waved his sleeve and a thing was thrown into her arms.
He Yan looked down, it was a bunch of candied gourds, which had been left outside for a long time, cold like ice cubes, in a snow-white, red and bright.
"Where is this?"
"Song Taotao's." Xiao Jue said: "Take a string."
He didn’t know how to coax the little girl. When he left, he asked Lin Shuanghe. Lin Shuanghe replied: "If someone else, coax the sad girl, of course it will take a lot of trouble. Take her to look at the lights, the flowers and the stars. Buy jade, buy beads, buy gold hairpin, but you are different. You just have to sit there and use your face."
Xiao Jue was speechless. When he finally passed Shen Muxue's room, when he saw the doorway by the window with sugar candied fruit bought by Song Taotao, he took a bunch of them.
When I saw her eating this last time, I was very happy.
He Yan picked up the candied gourd, pulled the rice cake paper on top, and licked it. The candied gourd was cold and iced, and a little bit of sweetness spread over the tip of the tongue, and the sweet person felt astringent.
I suddenly remembered what I said to Chu Zhao.
She asked Chu Zhao: "What is the name of the new grandma Xu?"
Chu Zhao replied: "He Xinying is the second lady in the second room of the He family. She is a cousin with the previous grandma He. I have seen it once and have a naive and gentle temperament. Speaking of it, it can be regarded as a good match for Uncle Xu. "
"He Xinying..." He Yan murmured: "You know, what was the name of Grandma Xu before?"
Chu Zhao froze, hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "Grandma Xu, who lived a long time ago, stayed out of the house and was not in Shuojing before. I have never seen it before, and I don't know what her name is."
Not even the name is left.
The world remembers General Feihong, He Rufei, Xu Zhiheng, and even Xu Zhiheng's newly married wife, but no one remembers He Yan.
She thought that after so long, she also knew that Xu Zhiheng's real face would no longer feel heartache. But the moment he heard that he was going to marry his wife, it was still a strange pain. It seems that the perseverance and trust many years ago collapsed overnight, and even disdain lies.
All that remains is her stupidity and unwillingness.
She looked up to the moon, and the moonlight gently flowed over the wild mountains and rivers, over the snowy forest, over her desolate and lonely years, and over the eyes under her mask.
The moon knows her secret, but the moon cannot speak.
"You know," she said softly, "What is the name of Xu Zhiheng's newly married wife?"
Xiao Jue lazily said: "How can I know."
He Yan smiled self-deprecatingly and asked again: "Do you know, what was the name of Grandma Xu before?"
The swell of the river beat the reef, as if the years had roared past a long time ago.
He gave He Yan a faint glance, his eyebrows were incredible under the moonlight, and his eyes, which were like autumn water, raised a trace of scorn, and said softly: "Why, with the same name, would you like to be Grandma Xu?"
He Yan was stunned.
"You know... you know her name..." Her heart jumped wildly.
"He Yan."
The waves landed on the reef, shattered into tiny drops of water, and merged into the rivers and seas. It was impossible to tell where each wave came from.
but……
The name He Yan was remembered.
He Yan looked up sharply at him.
"Do you know... no, have you seen Grandma Xu?"
She said in her heart, impossible. She and Xiao Jue were in the same class for only a year, so they ran apart. When she returned to Shuojing, she became Miss He Da, no longer "He Rufei". She was a very fast betrothal, and she didn't even show up a few times. After marrying into the Xu's family, the newly-married man soon became blind and stayed in the government all day long, almost isolated from the world.
How did Xiao Jue meet her?
unless……
"Have seen."
The young man sat lazily, and his eyebrows were seductive, and the mountains and rivers were so bright that his eyes shone brightly.
For a moment, his voice coincided with that of a certain night.
It was also such a night, such a mountain scenery, the rain and the rain kept falling, her world was gray and dull, and it was only a minute away from the desperation.
Xiao Jue said: "She owes me a candy."
