Chapter 405: Arriving at the Border City

"Ah Zi, you are staring at your husband so adoringly, and your husband will be shy!" The corners of Xue Jincheng's lips were slightly hooked, and his eyes were full of smiles.

Mu Zi was choked by him, glared at him fiercely, turned his head to look at the scenery outside the car window, and no longer paid attention to him.

Xue Jincheng is in a better and better mood, she has always been calm and introverted, and her emotions are stable, especially when facing him, she is polite and polite, but now she is more and more outgoing to him.

That's good progress.

The closer you get to the border city, the less farmland you have, but the more cattle and sheep you graze, and you often see dozens of cattle and sheep passing by.

Mrs. Wu Anhou's mood seemed to be getting better day by day, which showed how much she was looking forward to seeing Xue Li.

Three days later, the group finally arrived at the border city.

There is a general's palace in the border city, which was set up by the imperial court to house the generals stationed on the border.

In reality, however, there were very few real owners living in the General's Palace.

The generals guarding the border, very few of their families can go to the border city with the army, most of them are left in Beijing, and the general himself basically lives in the barracks, and this cold general's palace has really become a decoration of the imperial court.

Now it is Xue Li who is stationed at the border, and the General's Mansion has naturally become his mansion, but Xue Jincheng and the others did not live in the General's Mansion, but lived in a big mansion located in the same block as the General's Mansion.

This house is also the property that Xue Jincheng bought a few years ago, in terms of the size of the house, it is about the same size as the house in Suzhou, but there are many fewer guards in the house.

In such a large house, there are only six people.

For the first time, Mu Zi intuitively felt the vast and sparsely populated border city.

However, although there were few people, the house was well maintained, and the room was cleaned up in advance, and Mu Zi and the others were quickly settled.

"Are we going to stay here a little longer?" Mu Zi looked at the wide, wide, and very empty courtyard and asked Xue Jincheng.

"Well, I'll stay a little longer. You can clean up the yard as you want. The border city is cold in winter, and the flowers and trees are not easy to survive, so there has been no major renovation before. Now that you're here, it's better to set it up yourself. Xue Jincheng explained with a smile.

"Well, let's plant plum blossoms, it's beautiful and cold-resistant, and the yard is big enough to plant." Mu Zi quickly made a decision.

Xue Jincheng naturally had no opinion, and directly ordered someone to buy flower seedlings.

"The sky in the border city feels very high." Mu Zi raised her head and took a deep breath. I don't know if it's because of the difference in mood, I just feel that the air in the border city is a little more refreshing than in the capital.

"In two days, I will take you to run a horse, the grassland in the border city is vast and endless, and it is much more comfortable than the horse farm in the suburbs of Beijing." Xue Jincheng stood behind Mu Zi and said with a smile.

"Okay!" Mu Zi excitedly agreed.

Seeing that she was interested, Xue Jincheng had a soft smile on his face, "I'll take you to pick up horses tomorrow, the horse market in the border city is also very good, and if you're lucky, you can buy very good horses." ”

"Good! That's it! Mu Zi's eyebrows fluttered.

"By the way, when will my father come back?" Seeing that it was getting late, Mu Zi asked.

"My father is in the barracks, about thirty miles away from the border city, and it is not easy to meet." The smile on Xue Jincheng's face faded a little, "Recently, the two armies have been fighting, and I am afraid that we will not be able to come back for the time being." ”

Mu Zi was stunned when she heard this, but she didn't expect this to happen, she thought about it, and comforted Xue Jincheng and said, "However, even so, my mother is happy." ”
