On the night of the Spring Festival, it snowed heavily all night, and the people woke up the next day to find that the whole world was white and flawless.

The emperor climbed the tower to look out, looked at the capital edelweiss, the official post delivered the news from all over the country at the fastest speed - heavy snowfall, Ruixue mega year, this is a good sign, the coming year must be smooth.

In the Shenyuan Hall of Pei Mansion, the two fathers and sons, Pei Zhengwen and Pei Shuo, did not have much joy at this time.

"Have you really decided?" Pei Zhengwen tapped his fingers on the table.

Standing in front of him is Pei Shuo with a resolute expression, compared with three years ago, Pei Shuo has grown taller, and it is vaguely seen that the future will be a long-standing and handsome descendant.

"I've decided. Although the north side is unstable, the water and grass are abundant in the past two years, and the two sides will recuperate, and there will not be a big battle in a short time. ”

Yes, he wants to join the army and follow his father's old path.

In the three years of studying in Nanxun Academy, Pei Shuo gradually learned about the situation there through the merchants who came back from the north, or the retired soldiers, in the past two years, God appreciated the face, there was no drought and no waterlogging, and the north was full of rain, the imperial court breathed a sigh of relief, and it is estimated that those barbarians were also relieved, and the border was safe.

It took him three years to figure out that only when he had authority in his hands could he protect the people he wanted to protect.

"For no other reason?"

Don't look at his father's face, his heart is as clear as a mirror, and he can't hide anything from him.

Pei Shuo smiled and said, "I heard that my younger brother caught your official seal by drawing lots at the full moon banquet, and there will be a successor to the future founding marquis." I'm not uncommon for this fictitious title, so I gave it to that little bean ding, so as not to make jokes in the future, compared to Shoucheng, a man should make his own contributions!"

"Bastard, who told you to say these words, give me a good reflection! It's a man, but he has a little chicken belly and cares about your brother!" Pei Zhengwen scolded, picked up a volume of documents and threw it into Pei Shuo's arms: "Pick it up, start in spring." ”

Pei Shuo hurriedly took it, it was the roster of government soldiers, and his name was already on it. "Thank you, Dad!"

Pei Zheng said slowly: "Don't blame me for not saying good things, there is no room for turning around when you step into the military mansion, at least stay in the military mansion for three years, it's useless to cry and shout father, if there is not much war in the north after three years, you can come back, once the war is tight, don't expect to come back, it's useless to carry me out, if you die on the battlefield, I will find a way to collect your body." ”

Pei Shuo was so angry that his teeth itched, for the sake of Ah Yao, and for the sake of not being looked down upon by his father, he would definitely come back alive!" ”

A-Yao, who was far away in Nanxun, sneezed, "The spring is cold, and the young are frozen ~ Who is talking about me, it won't be Pei Shuo again." Saying that, he tightened the bedding wrapped around his body, read the menu while making up his brain, and felt that it seemed feasible, so he reluctantly stretched out his hand to pick up the brush and write a list - this is the homework assigned by Mochizuki, listing a list of dishes for the thank-you banquet, the inviter is a person who will take the test, a middle-class peasant family, and the banquet invites 15 to 20 people.

There were a few knocks on the door, the bird's nest pushed the door in, the whirring cold wind followed her into the house and bumped everywhere, lifted the tablecloth, blew the curtain, she stepped into the door and immediately hooked a belt with her foot, and the cold wind was closed outside again.

The food box was put on the table and looked at what Ah Yao wrote: "The homework assigned by the girl has been written?"

"Nine dishes and one soup, I know the ingredients used in my heart, and the ingredients are not particularly expensive, but it takes a little brainpower to make the dishes appear new. A-Yao replied, moving her small pestle slightly to make way for a little position, "Do you want to sit?"

"If you don't sit or not, your futon will take up the entire stool, and letting it is equivalent to not letting it. Bird's nest rolled her eyes and said unceremoniously: "The girl saw that you were afraid of the cold, so she specially made mutton soup and drank some to warm your body, and you threw this futon back to the bed and came again!"

When I opened the food box, a hot white mist suddenly wafted out with the aroma of mutton.

A-Yao immediately leaned over, sniffed deeply, saliva was dripping, grabbed the futon and threw it on the bed, and sat obediently and waited.

There is a barrel bone in the milky white soup, the meat on the barrel bone is stewed rotten, it melts in the mouth, there is still a taste, the essence of the soup is still in the bone marrow, A-Yao picked up the mutton bone, sucked it clean, there was no shredded meat left on it, and then buried himself in the soup, there was no fishy smell, and it was particularly sweet, the mutton flavor was strong, the first sip of the stomach, there was a warm current from the esophagus downstream, all the way to the spleen and stomach.

After drinking the mutton soup with the pot helmet, I even sweated a little.

Ah Yao sighed, "The taste of happiness, the enjoyment of the world, how good life is." ”

Bird's Nest stretched out her hand and nodded her head, "That's satisfied, you're so simple about life?"

"Yes, my wish is very simple: to eat well, to eat well, to eat fat. A-Yao touched her little belly, which was slightly bulging because she had just eaten, revealing a satisfied look, closed her eyes and got up and threw herself on the bed: "Eat and sleep warmly, and the happiness of life ......"

Bed, I'm coming~

Hey, why can't I get by? Hey, why is there a force that doesn't let me pass, who is it, who is so ruthless?

Ah Yao opened her eyes in confusion, but she didn't have enough at all, and the bird's nest pulled her collar: "What do you want to do?

Just when Ah Yao and Bird's Nest pinched their faces and pulled their collars, the mother-in-law came to say that Pei Shuo had come to see Ah Yao for something.

"Hmm, see me?"

Ah Yao picked herself up, trotted all the way to the flower hall, and saw Pei Shuo: "Is there something wrong with coming back so early this year?"

"A-Yao, I'm leaving. Pei Shuo pursed his lips, "I'm coming back to see you for the last time......"

"Bah, baa, drink water and spit it out and talk again, I haven't seen you for a few days, so you won't be able to speak?" It's just the end of the New Year, you're the last time, I'll live a hundred years, and you will live a long life!" Ah Yao's face darkened, and she took the cup he drank and handed it to his mouth. "Where are you going?"

"Nanxun Military Mansion is a recruiter, and I have a name in the government soldier roster. "He has already taken care of the matter here, and he will set off after seeing A-Yao go back. Three years, three years is too long, and I don't know what will happen, Pei Shuo suddenly hugged her tightly: "You have to wait for me, you can't forget me, do you know!"

"Pei Shuo, why are you holding on tightly, I can't breathe!" Ah Yao slapped him twice, and Pei Shuo buried his head deep in Ah Yao's neck socket. Sensing Pei Shuo's reluctance, A-Yao hugged him back and patted him: "It's just a recruit in the Nanxun Military Mansion, you see the national ...... in recent years There is no battle to be fought in the imperial court, and the time will pass by quickly, and I will occasionally pass by the military palace to have a look. ”

Living in the rich Nanxun, the people who come into contact with it don't know much about the north, only heard that the wind and rain over there in the past two years have been smooth, and it is not like the society with developed information here after thousands of years, Ayao is like most people who think that the four seas are peaceful, peaceful and tranquil, but they don't know that the war in the border is flying, but some people pick up spears and walk out of the towering city, face the enemy with sharp blades, and turn their backs to the city where they were born and grew up, and defend the country with their lives.

"Hmm. When Pei Shuo let go of Ah Yao, he quickly kissed Ah Yao on the cheek, like a dragonfly, and ran away after kissing: "When I come back, don't find another child husband!"

After realizing it, I found out that Ah Yao, who had been taken advantage of: "Ah-Pei Shuo, your uncle!"

"I hate it, I hate it so much!" Ah Yao muttered, taking the cooked pork as Pei Shuo's hand-torn, adding soy sauce, sugar, salt and lard, mixing well, and then stir-frying, the meat floss, which is durable and tastes good, is the most suitable for Pei Shuo.

When she packed the meat floss in a bamboo tube, just like that year, she hurried to the Nanxun Soldier's Mansion, but heard the guards at the door say that this year's recruits set off for Yanmen a moment ago.

"Yanmen. Ah Yao looked in the direction of Nanxun City Gate in a daze, and for some reason her nose was sour, and a line of tears slid down her cheeks. "The wind is really noisy today. ”89
