In the cold winter, the north wind is whining, and on the carriage, due to the extra charcoal basin, Mo Xiaohe can feel the warmth without wrapping a heavy jacket. Open the leather bag, which was full of scattered copper plates and broken silver, just now the income from the broken boulder on the chest of her husband Gu Zheng, she squinted her eyes, counted the copper coins one by one, and looked greedy for money.

"Lady, it's still a long way to go, you can sleep in the carriage for a while."

Gu Zheng hid in the car, ate bacon flatbread, cleaned his hands again, and brought a burden from the opposite car bench, which was neatly folded clothes, soft, not high or low, just enough to be used as a pillow.

In order to save time, the husband and wife did not look for a coachman, rented a carriage, Gu Zheng drove the carriage directly, and after arriving at the town, he sent the carriage back, and with a note, he could receive a deposit for renting a carriage.

The carriage and horse shop is a chain organization, so it is convenient to return the car, rent a carriage and press down ten taels of silver as a deposit, Mo Xiaohe counted, there were more than ten taels left in the money bag, which was a lot more than she expected.

"Husband, I'm not sleepy."

Mo Xiaohe couldn't sleep, the play just now was too exciting, she was still a little excited, and she couldn't get out for the time being, her husband casually smashed the stone with a fist, the action was quick, not dragging mud and water, and there was no need to embellish it with gorgeous language, setting off the atmosphere, smashing it down with a punch, simple and rude.

Gu Zheng has a thousand strengths in his arms, but he is extremely gentle with her, Mo Xiaohe held his cheeks, thinking wildly, if he offends him one day and provokes him ruthlessly, he won't be violent, right? Her small body was not enough to resist his move.

"Lady ......"

Gu Zheng couldn't cry or laugh, he was violent? He has no status at home, everything is what the lady says, Mo Xiaohe will be fine if he doesn't clean him up, thinking of the gentle punishment that her feet were tickled by her before, Gu Zheng's face changed and changed, this kind of softness, he couldn't bear it.

The husband and wife laughed a few words, the atmosphere was harmonious, along the way, you can see the people who dragged their families on the road everywhere, at the end of the New Year, people who went out couldn't wait to rush home for the New Year, and the footsteps were hurried.

With money in her hand and no panic, Mo Xiaohe sat at the door of the car window, and when she saw an old farmer selling local products, salted duck eggs, and mushrooms on the mountain, she would buy some, an hour's road, spend 100 yuan, and there were two more baskets on the carriage.

It was a little delayed to make money, and the carriage had not gone far, it was already noon, and the streets were slowly becoming less crowded, and the speed of the carriage had increased slightly. It has been wandering around the city, occasionally congested, and the carriage cannot run fast, and after walking on the official road, the road on both sides becomes wider.

"Lady, I'm afraid we won't be able to get to town before dark."

Gu Zheng took the hot tea sent by his wife, looked at the sky, he was quite confident in his driving skills, if it was the rest of the drivers, the speed would not be able to catch up with him. On weekdays, it's okay, the New Year's car is more than a lot, I don't dare to let the carriage gallop, I always have to take care of the passers-by, dodge left and right, and the road that can be completed in half an hour is more than twice the time.

"Walk along this official road, about a few hours later, there is a three-way intersection, we take the rightmost official road, about another hour, we can go back."

Gu Zheng stopped and fed the horse fodder and water, and pointed ahead. Along the way, the surrounding wilderness, if you can reach the three-way intersection at dinner, there is a noodle restaurant, the taste is not very good, but you can go down.

"Husband, it's just a meal, and we'll be home."

Where is not as good as home, Mo Xiaohe has a deep experience, even if she builds a house in Tianshui Village, she still does not have much sense of belonging, what she likes the most is the house in the mountain, there is a tree house, there is a fire kang, watch the rain in summer, see the snow in winter, quiet and quiet, no one disturbs the best.

In the end, it is not a native to ask the ancients, Mo Xiaohe doesn't like to live with Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang, not that there is a disagreement with the two elders, but she prefers the solitary mode of modern young couples, free and uncontrolled.

There is a small red clay stove that can boil hot water in the carriage, Mo Xiaohe put a few eggs in the copper kettle, which is cooked at this time, she poured them all into a small iron basin, and when she is hungry, she eats one, dips it in chili sauce, it tastes good, and you can't be too demanding on the road.

This is the first year after marrying Gu Zheng, Mo Xiaohe, as a new daughter-in-law, needs to be managed by herself, she attaches great importance to it, as soon as she eats, she wants to prepare everything, thinking that last year, she can still be with her father and mother, she sighed, and she doesn't know when she can be reunited.

Continuing to hurry after noon, Mo Xiaohe nestled on the carriage bench, in a daze, when she heard a commotion outside, she rubbed her eyes, lifted the curtain on the car window and opened a gap, seeing that Gu Zheng had already driven the carriage aside and made way to leave.

"What to see, hurry up, you can't walk to the post station before dark, you have to sleep on the street!"

The few people who walked in the front, neatly and uniformly, dressed as officials, they walked in front, followed by the large army in the back, all of them were men, at least a few thousand people.

"What, if you can't stop for the New Year, can't you go back after the New Year?"

In the crowd, there were dissatisfied whispers, some people looked sad, some people were numb, their expressions were different, but no one was happy, and after a large number of people passed, they followed behind the carriage, the ox cart, and the family members who carried burdens and hung baskets, Mo Xiaohe looked at such a scene, and she accompanied Gu Zheng to serve in the conscription, which was generally the same.

It seems that this group of people are all strong men selected by the government in several surrounding cities, sent to the border cities to serve in the forced service, and they will not let people live in peace during the New Year, and they will step up the construction of fortifications.

Mo Xiaohe knows very little about war, has never experienced it, and can only rely on his imagination. Twilight is approaching, the remnant sun is like blood, under the heavy city walls, corpses are everywhere, blood is flowing like rivers, and there are dilapidated scenes everywhere.

The cries of the old people and children, the people in tattered clothes and displacement, what else should there be? For someone who hasn't been on the battlefield, don't expect her to have any imagination.

Mo Xiaohe's only experience, the mountain bandits slaughtered the village, Gu Zheng was afraid that she was afraid, so he was always around to protect her, and then he and the rabbit spirit Xu Yan killed the mountain bandits, and covered her eyes with his hands.

"Husband...... Husband. ”

Still a little flustered, Mo Xiaohe opened the front window and called Gu Zheng, worrying about the country and the people is not suitable for her, the little people living in the moment are only suitable for living their own small lives, but she understands that if the war is raging, her life cannot be undisturbed.

"Yes."

Gu Zheng knew what the lady was worried about, turned around, put down the horsewhip, and held her small hand tightly with her rough big hand.

The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit, the eternal truth, the gold mine is extraordinary, not only the two countries move frequently, several small countries in the south, but also began to have their own abacus, everyone wants a piece of the pie.

It depends on how Da Yue and Da Wu deal with it, Da Wu is originally a first-class power, and he has been subservient to Da Yue for more than 20 years, how long can the peace on the surface last? Otherwise, why would the Mo family be in a hurry to let the clansmen relocate, I am afraid that they had already sensed that something was wrong.

A few days ago, the news that Gu Zheng brought to Licheng made Mo Xiaohe a little frightened, but it came and went quickly, and now, seeing so many people serving in forced service appear on a large scale, this sense of fear has resurfaced, rather than being at peace with the encounter, it is better to take precautions.

The road is getting wider and wider, the carriage was driven up by Gu Zheng, ordinary horses, not as strong as the sweaty BMW of Licheng, stop and go, the sky has already shown a black and gray, just arrived at the three-way intersection.

At the intersection, as my husband said, there is a noodle shop, which is more appropriate to say that it is a shed than a noodle shop. Surrounded on all sides by linoleum cloth, a thatched roof was facing, and oil lamps had been hung around it.

Next to the noodle shop, there is a slightly gorgeous carriage parked, surrounded by tassels, on the tassels, decorated with jade beads, the carriage is a large circle wide, and the two horses pulling the cart in front of them, four vigorous, extraordinary. Mo Xiaohe took a few more looks, she had seen many gorgeous carriages in Licheng and Kyoto, just because the carriage looked a little familiar.

"Boss, let's have a bowl of Yangchun noodles and less chopped green onions."

Gu Zheng jumped down from the position of the car, he could fool himself with steamed buns, but the lady had to eat a mouthful of hot food, although the taste was not good, it was better than an empty stomach.

"I'm sorry, this guest officer, the shop is not doing business today, no, there are not many noodles left, they are all covered by the nobles inside."

Not many noodles are fake, because there are people passing by at the three-way intersection all the year round, often in the middle of the night, the owner of this noodle restaurant is shrewd, he takes care of himself during the day, and lets his son come at night, all the relatives in the family take shifts, and the money is not a lot of money for a year.

Because of the surrounding barren mountains and mountains, there are only one or two small villages, noodles are more expensive, it is common sense, passers-by, can afford to eat, few people because of a few copper plates, the boss is really muffled to make a fortune.

"Where did the hillbilly come from, get out! Boss, is our lady giving you less silver? If you have that kind of time, you might as well make the noodles and serve them quickly! ”

A mother-in-law got down from the carriage and scolded a few words, "If you delay our wife's meal, you will be punished!" ”

The mother-in-law looked sour and mean, with her hands behind her back, scolding the boss, the owner of the noodle restaurant was a good person, and when she learned that the people in the carriage must not be offended, she nodded her head and waist, but her movements were not slow, and after these people came, they threw him a silver ingot, which was ten taels, which made him surprised and happy, "It's good right away, it's good right away!" ”

It's not that the dog looks down on people, Mo Xiaohe just wanted to scold people, but suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she remembered one thing, she hooked the corners of her mouth sarcastically, this lady, you should have heard the heart in the carriage, right?

Shopping in the city, Mo Xiaohe once inadvertently entered a store specializing in selling women's products, which also has a miracle medicine that can increase the pleasure of sex, and happened to meet this mother-in-law at that time, and the female partner Sanniang introduced her to her, this person is the personal grandmother of the prefect's favored concubine.

It's really funny that an aunt ran out and pretended to be a lady everywhere, but Mo Xiaohe didn't want to run into her head-on, and there was still a bit of inside story in it.

Before Yingluo left, she gave her a token for the black market, and Mo Xiaohe once asked someone from the black market to help investigate the whereabouts of her cousin Mo Daya's unformed fetus, and the black market quickly replied to the message, which surprised her.

"Let's go."

Mo Xiaohe took out a small medicine bottle from the carriage, handed it to her husband, and then squeezed her eyebrows and winked, thinking in her heart, if she didn't go down, after the "lady" ate the noodles, there would be red bumps on her face, which spread to her neck and body, just like the symptoms of flower willow disease.

Yingluo's poison is strange, this is used by the whole person, not fatal, but it makes people torture, as long as it survives thirty-three days, it will recover on its own, if you want to detoxify in advance, you only need to eat garlic.

Gu Zheng thought that the lady was angry with this attitude, and without hesitation, while pretending to reason with the boss, she put all the powder of the porcelain bottle into it, and then drove the carriage away.

"Husband, there is one thing I forgot to tell you."

If it were an ordinary person, Mo Xiaohe might not have drugged the other party, but it was the aunt in the carriage, which was another matter.

There were too many things a few days ago, she investigated, and after getting a reply from the black market, she wanted to tell her husband in her heart, but she had to have accidents one after another, and she was sick for two days, and then, the family tried to find a way to catch the old goddess and Li Er, and the matter was temporarily forgotten.

"The mother-in-law with a crooked mouth and slanted eyes just now is the personal grandmother of the concubine next to the prefect."

Mo Xiaohe racked her brains to describe her mother-in-law, looking at the face that looked down on people, her master was just a, not to mention the mother-in-law, after pouting, she was arrogant, but her mouth was crooked and her eyes were slanted, just like a stroke patient.

Gu Zheng's eyes were deep, with a little smile in them, the mother-in-law made the lady very angry, and described it with crooked eyes and eyes, it was really light, he was silent and waited for the next article.

"That little concubine, called Aunt Lan, is the one who paid for the fetus in my cousin's womb."

If so, it can't be considered a coincidence, and even more coincidence is still to come, this person is Mo Xiaohe's old acquaintance, the biological daughter of the former head of Mojia Village, and Mo Xiaohe has a deep blood feud.

When they were in a hurry last year, they met this Aunt Lan who was tied up, and it seemed that she was going to be sold into the flower building, Mo Xiaohe also helped a little, it is said that she was favored by the prefect on the way to escape, and then took the house, which was very like.

Don't think about it, the village chief's family died because they wanted to kill people unsuccessfully, and only Aunt Lan was left in the village chief's family, so she must have been thinking about revenge, and she used to think that it might be a coincidence to eat the child in her cousin's belly and use it for beauty, but now, Mo Xiaohe is not sure.

Cutting grass does not remove roots, the spring breeze blows and grows, some dead knots, can not be untied for a lifetime, meeting a smile and enmity are all nonsense, in the eyes of children, how can there be a bad father? Thanks to the cold weather, Gu Zheng drove the car and wore a hat to cover his whole face, while Mo Xiaohe was too lazy to get out of the car, otherwise he would be seen by that person, and he would have to have a conflict.

"Husband, she hasn't moved for the time being, but it doesn't mean that there won't be one in the future, in short, we can't take it lightly, it's best to strike first."

The relationship between the two countries is tense, Mo Xiaohe, a daughter of the Mo family, has something to do in Dawu, and the hand of the Mo family can't reach here, in addition, she thinks that the reason why Aunt Lan didn't take revenge immediately is also because the backyard of the prefect is not peaceful, and Aunt Lan makes a concubine for others, and most of them have to give birth to a year and a half, and cultivate some people in their hands.

Buy all kinds of magic medicines, first capture the heart of the prefect, and then take further action, it can be seen that that person is a smart person, I don't know if there is still a pit waiting for them in front of them.

"So, our plans may have to be put on hold."

The old pious woman has a relationship with Aunt Lan, if Aunt Lan pleads for mercy, exonerates Li Er, and finally finds a reason to let go, then how can it be good? There are only two ways, the first is to find someone to find a relationship, directly in the prison, to solve the two.

This trick is similar to killing people and destroying mouths, Mo Xiaohe can't accept it a little, she is not the Virgin, but to investigate its roots, this kind of rule of law does not cure the root cause, the second article is a little difficult, combined with the experience of barley, the prefect is not a good thing, it is best to go to Kyoto to sue the emperor.

"I see."

Gu Zheng said that he knew that they were indeed going to go to Dawu Kyoto after the year to escort Mrs. Gu and Qingbarley, but they didn't expect that there would be an extra prefect's concubine in the middle, which made the originally simple matter a lot more complicated.

The lady is right, the wind on the pillow is terrible, if you don't solve Aunt Lan, if you take action in the future, the Li family may be implicated.

"I think so too, we will go back to Dayue sooner or later in the future, but my grandparents are natives of Dawu, and my cousin will marry Xiucai soon, so everyone can't stay away from their homeland, right?"

Thanks to this incident, I learned the inside story, and I can plan early. The prefect is not a big official in Kyoto, but he can cover the sky in the border city with one hand, and he wants to ignore people's lives, and he can find an excuse at will, and there is no place to redress his grievances, which is the most cruel thing to the little people with no background.
