Three years have passed, the frontier is rare to be calm, the Hu people have Meng Yanqin murder reputation, do not dare to commit for a while, this year's cold winter is unexpectedly quiet, the people who have been harassed by the Hu people no longer pack up their belongings, always ready to run away, but set up a red lantern, prepare the New Year's goods, and have a lively last year.

The bazaars at the border pass are not as crowded as the capital, there are no crowds one after another, the streets are dotted with pedestrians, and the merchants stand in the corners and bargain with the furriers, who speak with a strong Beijing accent, with red faces and red ears, and their hands are constantly gesturing.

Suddenly, a man walked through the street on horseback, and the people stopped their movements and watched the rider leave, and the merchant saw it and said, "This is a strange life, and his hair is all white." ”

The furrier glared at the merchant when he heard this, put away the fur in his hand and stuffed it into his back pocket, "I won't sell it." ”

"Hey, the price was just agreed." The merchant was tactful, knowing that what he had just said had angered the fur dealer, and hurriedly explained, "I have just come to the frontier, and some things are not clear, and if there is any offense, I hope that my brother will give me some advice." ”

The merchant had a good attitude, and the dealer put out his anger a little, pulled the fur in his hand and told the merchant about what had happened in the past few years.

"A few years ago, the frontier was not very peaceful, every winter there were Hu people coming in, burning and robbing, life was miserable, and you people who made money would not come. Later, a pianist came, not to mention that she was good-looking, and her martial arts were strong, and she fought off the Hu people together with our General Zhao, so that the Hu people were afraid when they heard her title. ”

"You said the woman who just rode by." The merchant was surprised, this was a woman, and she had long white hair, as strange as she wanted, and they were very respectful to this woman.

"Again, Hu Ren's defeat is all due to General Zhao's credit, how can it be counted on her head." The merchant laughed, "You are destroying the ambition of a man and the majesty of a woman." ”

"Phew." The dealer pointed at the merchant's nose and scolded, "You Beijing piece of goods, don't say that I can't beat you, if the soldier hears it, a military stick is indispensable." ”

"Look at what you said." The merchant was a little afraid, he was not afraid of the woman, but afraid of a military stick, and he had a heart in his heart, and his mouth was stiff, "Shouldn't this woman serve us men comfortably." ”

"If I have my business today, I won't do it with you, I tell you, in everyone's hearts, that Meng Qinshi's status is higher than that of General Zhao, and the wolf is victorious, you think that this fame is really won by General Zhao, and it was called by General Zhao and Meng Qinshi." The peddler raised two fingers and disdained the merchants, "It's just you outsiders who take the rumors seriously." ”

Seeing that the merchant was surprised, the dealer said, "We don't worship General Zhao, we worship Qin Kill, Master Meng Qin." ”

After talking about Meng Yan's great achievements, the dealer sighed again, "It's a pity that the wolf hugged the pass that made Meng Qinshi's head white, I don't know how many women cried when they saw Meng Qinshi, and they couldn't wait to change their green silk with Meng Qinshi." ”

"You said that Meng Qinshi's gray hair was not born." The merchant made a calculation, and begged the dealer, "Dare to ask how can I see General Zhao?" ”

Picking the branches of the old peach tree in the city, Meng Yan beat the horse and walked through the street, let the horse lead the way for himself, the horse was also casual, picked a long road to the barracks, on the way Meng Yan was bored, pulled out the sword in the green jade stream and sharpened the branches that had just arrived, her peach blossom hairpin was gone, and she was not satisfied with picking it on the street a few times, so she simply cut the peach wood directly to do it.

The scenery of the frontier is not as good as the capital, the whole year can not see the grand scenery for a long time, the grass and trees have long been withered in September, and there is nothing in January, there has been heavy snow a few days earlier, only the bald branches and withered grass are gone, there is only the breath of slaughter left as far as the eye can see, there is no vitality at all, the first time I see it is sad, it is boring to see it a few more times, it makes people remember the capital in the memory.

The fine sawdust fell all the way, and the peach wood branch in Meng Yan's hand also transformed from a rough branch into a beautiful wooden hairpin, she carefully smoothed the wooden thorns on the hairpin, and was helpless about the hairpin.

She doesn't have such a skillful hand. Putting away the long sword, Meng Yan stuffed the peach blossom hairpin into his arms, and the soldiers at the entrance of the barracks took the reins of the fierce horse and greeted Meng Yan with a respectful taste, "Master Meng Qin, you are back, the general met a businessman today." ”

"What he does is none of my business." Meng Yan said with a smile, this group of soldiers didn't know what was going on, and they often reported to her that they were beating General Zhao, on the contrary, General Zhao sometimes didn't know where Meng Yan went.

"According to the small opinion, the general will invite you to dinner in the evening, and then take out the things given by the merchant to please you." The soldier thought too much, and he thought that the general must have something to do when he saw the merchant.

"As much as you want." The fierce horse was impatient to be led by the soldiers again, Meng Yan dismounted to comfort the fierce horse, and took the reins by the way, "I'll go back." ”

Originally, Meng Yan thought that the soldier was just talking nonsense, but later the soldier really came to see her and said that General Zhao would invite her to dinner.

In a word, it became a prophecy. Meng Yan got up and followed the soldier out of the tent, and when she saw him smiling proudly, she scolded with a smile, "Crow's mouth." ”

The soldier immediately hung his head and muttered softly behind Meng Yan, "The little one is not." ”

"Alright, you're a magpie." When he walked outside the camp, Meng Yan praised casually, and the soldier smiled, and personally lifted the curtain to let Meng Yan in.

What a kid. Meng Yan said with a smile, when she entered the camp, she saw General Zhao alone, and there were no other deputy generals, and there was a desk on the right, on which there was already food.

"Come and sit down." General Zhao swallowed the meat in his mouth and pointed to the position for Meng Yan to sit down.

It's a common meal. Meng Yan answered, knelt down at the desk, and saw that the dishes on it were touched, this dish was not expensive, but it was Meng Yan's favorite food, and it took a lot of effort.

"I didn't mean anything else when I called you here today, just to have a meal and catch up on the old days." General Zhao took a bite of food, and when he saw Meng Yan moving his chopsticks, a smile appeared on his face, "After all, it's almost the New Year." ”

"yes." Meng Yan held the rice bowl and thought for a while, "I don't see any movement from the Hu people this year." "At this time of the year, the scouts reported that it was tricky.

"It's not that you're scared." General Zhao wiped his mouth with a sweat towel, "And Lao Tzu is amazing." ”

"The food king's Lu bears the king's worries, of course, your subordinates are the general, no matter how majestic you are, you can't compare to the general." Meng Yan put down her rice bowl and drank a sip of vegetable soup.

"The enemy was killed by you, and I am going to be angry with you." The general said that he couldn't do it, he could only hum and lose his temper, and he said it well, since he beat Meng Yan with gray hair, his private money has never returned, and it was all taken away by Meng Yan, which is called the loss of youth.

Meng Yan nodded and said no more.

Seeing that Meng Yan didn't say anything, Zhao Jiang didn't know how to continue, he was born stupid, and he couldn't fight with Meng Yan, and when he said warm words, he was also anxious to scratch his ears and cheeks, and he held back for a long time and cut directly to the topic, "Do you want to go back to the capital." ”

"The general said with a smile, his subordinates don't look like ghosts or ghosts, don't say that when I enter the Red Sleeve Courtyard, I have to stop me as soon as I arrive at the city gate." There is a reason why Meng Yan has not returned to the capital, she has been over-guided due to the loss of power, and if this matter is known to the general, she must not scold herself to death.

"It's all on me." After all, the trip to the wolf gate was his insistence, and he only took a few personal soldiers to go, but he was ambushed, if it wasn't for Meng Yan's desperate efforts to save himself, he would be a puddle of mud under the snow now, nothing.

"A merchant begged me this day and said he had a treasure in his hand." General Zhao told Meng Yan about the experience, "I wanted to drive him out, but then I heard that this thing is suitable for you." ”

Meng Yan put down her chopsticks, puzzled.

"He has a recipe for dyeing his hair black, and he looks exactly like ordinary people." General Zhao looked at Meng Yan and said, "In this case, you will be able to return to Beijing." ”

"Meng Yan, don't you want to go back and have a look?"

It's Chinese New Year's Eve again, Ji Yu and Shu Caijun are sitting at the same table, compared to previous years, there is one more person at the dinner table on Chinese New Year's Eve this year, and they will leave.

A few days ago, he and Shu Caijun became relatives, and the two were happy after marriage, which made Ji Yu feel incompatible, especially on Chinese New Year's Eve.

In the past, when he was in the palace, he participated in various banquets with his mother, which was long and boring, and then he went out of the palace, and the talented man would leave himself to accompany him during the New Year, and this year the three of them got together, it looked like a family, family, Ji Yu's heart sank, since Meng Yan ruthlessly abandoned himself three years ago, it has been three years now, and he has gone from hatred before to indifference now, and he feels that it is nothing more than that.

Seeing Ji Yu's expression in a trance, he called him away, "But the food is not appetizing." ”

"Nope." Ji Yu sandwiched a pair of chopsticks, bowed his head to eat, the food was very good, the bad thing was his heart, when the family was happy, he always felt that something was missing, a person was missing, an important person.

"Eat more, then." Jiang Li said with a smile.

When the three of them were eating, there was a sudden knock on the door, and several people present were surprised, Shu Caijun put down his chopsticks and said, "I'll open the door." ”

"I'll go with you." Ji Yu stood up and went out with Shu Caijun, he had a feeling in his heart, he was excited and calm.

Outside the house, the snowflakes rose again, Shu Caijun and Ji Yu walked one after the other, the sound of firecrackers sounded, Shu Caijun took advantage of this sound to open the door, and saw a person standing outside the door, fireworks rose in the dark night sky, and when they flew into the air, they suddenly exploded and lit up in an instant.

"Mind an extra pair of chopsticks?" She laughed.

Ji Yu rushed into her arms and said sullenly, "Auntie." ”
