Chapter Seventy-Three

The time has come to the wax moon, and it is snowing heavily, and the snowflakes are flying like goose feathers, and it only takes one night to accumulate a thick layer.

In the early morning of a winter night, the cold wind is steep, but the interior is a scene of charcoal fire.

In the brocade quilt, in addition to the warm body fragrance, there is also a little lingering sympathy that has not dispersed, people who have always been afraid of the cold, always repeat at night, but these days can sleep soundly until dawn.

The wind and rain just stopped at night, the sky was dawning in the early morning, lying on the pillow, the black hair was scattered, and the woman who was sleeping was feeling the heat around her suddenly left, and she had long been accustomed to sticking to the hot person, subconsciously leaning towards the person who was leaving, and reluctantly pasted her cheeks, only to feel the warmth, how comfortable and comfortable she was, even if it was to let her stick it every day.

I don't know that her posture like this is □□, and she will melt.

Slender hands, bright wrists exposed, poking out of the soft brocade quilt, the whole body will not be able to wear a small coat, snow-white like a mermaid in a milk bath, at this moment is subconsciously not wanting to leave the warmth of habit, and with a head full of black hair, hazy, drunk and slightly drunk. The quilt opened a corner due to the action of turning over, a piece of snow, faint spring light, two points of peach powder, tender like the earliest budding peach petals in spring.

"Well, don't go......" The woman who was still in her dream, Jiao Ying's first chirp, and there was a voice. In the chaos of chaos, you can only do whatever you want.

The man who was about to leave quietly decisively, when he held her shoulder, his self-control shook strongly, and by the light of the first dawn, he saw the "scenery" in front of him and the drowsiness was hazy, relying on his delicate cheeks, and the pink lips and fresh lips and tongue in the bright teeth, and it was difficult to leave ruthlessly, and the warm kiss fell on the woman's face, lingering again and again, I don't know how long the warmth lasted, and then I had to put on my clothes and get up and leave.

When Tan Wanqing got up, it was already three poles a day, and classes had been suspended at the academy early, and around the Chinese New Year, it was really idle.

There was another little girl in the yard to make Ruizhu a companion.

The person was brought by Xie Chengzu, the girl's family couldn't survive, and later went to Wei'an, and now she is living in the outer city, the little girl has sharp hands and feet and a sweet mouth, and she is called Mrs. when she enters the door, although she is younger, but the children of the poor family have long been in charge, washing and brushing dishes, mowing grass and feeding sheep.

The little girl's original name was New Year's Moon, it is said that she was born in the New Year's Month, and her father and mother took this name, since it was her birthday, Tan Wanqing did not change, and Ruizhu still called her original name.

The current yard is no longer what it was when she first moved in, Ruizhu was a little unable to take care of it earlier, and the three goats in the kitchen and yard alone are enough for her to work for a day, and now that she has a helper, she can really take a breath.

In the morning, Ruizhu listened to the movement in the East House, and when he came in with the first month, the young lady was already dressed, put on a silk jacket, and covered with black silk, and was erecting the Xuan window to breathe.

"Miss, it's snowing outside, the cold and humidity are so heavy, you've only been sick for a few days, and you're caught in the cold, what should you do? Wait until noon, when the sun is at its hottest......"

Tan Wanqing's expression was slightly embarrassed, where did Ruizhu know the reason, she and Xie Chengzu had a strong body odor, and it was okay to smell alone, but the warm incense and the deer fragrance intersected together, how could it be compared to ordinary fishy sandalwood, even if she woke up, her cheeks would be hot and dry when she smoked it, and she was extremely uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the room is not big, and after opening for a while, the breath is almost permeable, so Ren Ruizhu closed the window dissatisfied, and then skillfully waited for Tan Wan to clean and gargle, and when the first month was setting the food on the kang table, he secretly watched while swinging.

First time I met the guard...... When she was young, her eyes were round, she had never seen such a beautiful person, even if she saw more now, she would not be cramped and nervous, but she still felt that her every move was like coming out of a painting, in her mother's words, that is, she did not eat fireworks in the world, and she did not grow up eating whole grains with them.

Tan Wan took off yesterday's green-faced rough-edged silk jacket, and put on a new light green Luo Yi gown, a pleated skirt with scattered flowers and water mist and green grass, a slender waist that was not in her hand, her face was flushed, and she sat crookedly on the collapse, drinking warm honey water without a match, and letting Ruizhu take care of the three thousand green silks, and her lazy meaning was undisguised.

After freshening up, sit down at the table, this is the ...... It was so hearty, she looked at Ruizhu.

Since the New Year, Ruizhu has no longer eaten with Tan Wanqing, saying that he can't break the rules, let the next person see the joke, and at the moment he stood next to the dish and said: "Isn't this about the New Year, Lord Xie asked people to send a lot of New Year's goods, the kitchen is full, and the adult also said that in the future, add two more dishes to each meal, a snack, and say that Miss is too thin, and she needs to make up for it, I think what Lord Xie said is right, so Miss you can eat more......

Tan Wanqing looked at a bowl of purple goat's milk that could not be beaten every day on the table, a cup of candied date bird's nest, a dish of mountain chestnut porridge, plus a bay of bamboo sunfish yuan soup, and now there is a stewed duck with jade ginseng that was simmered overnight last night, and a plate of green osmanthus fish rolls, plus two dim sum, assorted fruit cups and pumpkin rice crackers.

This...... It's like going back to the days of Danfu.

Tan Wanqing looked up consciously, only to see that the room had already disappeared from its original appearance unconsciously.

The furniture is replaced with rosewood, the beauty couch is placed at the low table, the red curtain is hanging, covered with brocade quilt embroidery, her eyes move up, the ink treasure of the famous family on the wall, move down, the white jade incense burner placed on the case, the hand is also a celadon plate white jade bowl, even the dresser does not know when there are two more boxes of pearls, gold and silver jade......

Where is it still the humble living room of the past? She was used to it so naturally.

But there is clearly a group of refugees outside the city who can't eat, with Xie Chengzu's temperament, maybe he will give her the best he has, but he will never use the official treasury and silver to make money and people's ointment, but he can be a five-grade official in the imperial court, and there is one hundred and eighty taels a year, which can be regarded as a return official, not to mention three or two years, even if he does it for ten years or eight years, and eats the silver saved by the northwest wind, he will definitely not be able to buy these things in the house.

"Where did you get the money?" Since Feng Li came back, Rui Zhu took out one thing today and a box of things tomorrow, and others don't know where this thing came from, she must know.

"Miss!" Rui Zhu's face turned red when she heard this, "What is my family, that's Miss's husband, Miss, do you say that again......"

Tan Wanqing's brain was big when she heard this, and she immediately interrupted her: "Okay, okay, you're getting more and more annoyed now, where did the things come from." "Xie Chengzu got it, but where did he get it? According to her understanding, the man would never give her back what was dug up in the sealed Tan Mansion back then.

"Miss doesn't know, how do I know? However, I heard from a few military attachés who brought things over complained that the gold and silver things that led the troops to suppress the bandits in the past two years belonged to the adults, and the adults didn't ask for it, so let the few people below share it, and then ......."

Rui Zhu thought of the embarrassed face of the person who moved things, and felt very funny: "They said that after the adult Fengli came back, he begged for it one by one......"

Tan Wanqing listened to it, and was dumbfounded for a while, Xie Chengzu was occasionally a bit of a scoundrel, but she knew that soldiers were ruffians, but ...... Give something to someone else and then want it back, it's ......

This face is too big to imagine.

At the beginning, Xie Chengzu ordered the bandits to raise soldiers and set the rules, after all, they have to fight with their lives, no one is selfless, everyone has a family to support, and if there is no family, they must marry and start a family, and they risked their lives to suppress the bandits' nest, and finally the gold, silver and jewelry were all filled to the military treasury, and no one did it.

Therefore, it was decided that every time the bandits were suppressed, all the surviving people in the end would share one-tenth of all the money according to their merits, and the corresponding silver money would be kept as a pension, which would be given to the families of the dead soldiers, and the rest would be filled into the military treasury.

If you encounter a rich harvest of bandits, one-tenth is very considerable, but no matter how many things can't withstand more people, a hundred or so will push a point, and there will be very few in hand, even so, it is still more tempting than the army.

In the past two years, he has supported the bold and starved the timid, and a few thunderbolts who followed Xie Chengzu could not move, and every two times there was a small general who went to suppress the bandits, and he really saved enough wives and children by suppressing the bandits, and they married wives and had children.

And the adults, who took the lead in killing again and again, also shared the big head, but at that time, Xie Shoubei had no intention of starting a family, and he never even thought about marrying a wife and having children, he had no such thoughts, and his desire for red and white things was also very cold, and he also filled the military treasury when he got it, after all, it was difficult for the army to be distributed at that time, although it was like a sea of water drops, and it couldn't solve the urgency, but it was some that could make up for some.

A few little generals secretly regretted that the bandits' den was full of good things, and that group of bastards picked out good things to grab, and sometimes when they finished dividing the money, the money was not enough, so they took some jade jewelry instead, which was all good things, but the adult's share was all filled with the arsenal, which was really painful, and the little eyes of the grief finally made the garrison find out that the financial situation had improved somewhat, and he waved his hand, and let them divide their own share.

But they never expected that the adults of his family would show their faces and ask for back the things they were given, on the grounds that it was a dowry......

What else can the crowd say? Although the part that will come back in the end is less than one-third of the actual given, judging from the expressions of the few people who brought things in, the painful eyes of the flesh are about to drip water.

The most inhumane thing in this world is to spit out what you have eaten, and you have to comfort yourself, not a loss, at least once.

"Miss, for your sake, the adults are also out of the way, you see......"

"I see, you are not faithful."

Rui Zhu suddenly heard this, the chopsticks fell off, and his face was hurt and shocked: "Little, Miss, you, how can you say that, I'm all for ......"

"I don't take these things away, aren't they all his? If he's really bad? You, so easy to buy, you can't be sold, and you still help sell you for the money. ”

"Miss, I didn't ...... I just think ...... "Ruizhu is about to cry when she is wronged, look at this little guts."

Fortunately, the first month of the year was sent out to clean up the kitchen just now, otherwise she would have seen it, but she would have lost the face of the first-class maid of Tanfu, and she cried before she could say anything.

"Okay, remember to mention this matter again, I know it in my heart." Tan Wanqing's tone softened, pretending not to see her crying face, pointing to the stewed duck with jade ginseng that had been stewed all night and said, "I'm so hungry, quickly clip a piece of ginseng duck and let me taste your craftsmanship." ”
