The white horse passes through the gap, and the years are like a shuttle. Situ Yan accompanied her husband Duanmu Xuan to this border city of Youzhou to garrison, and it has been nearly half a year. During this period, she went to Jixian County, Guangyang County twice, visited Situ Jin's family, and helped her brother deal with many difficult problems. I originally planned to go again after entering the wax moon, but the weather was not beautiful, and it snowed heavily as soon as I entered the wax moon. This snowy road is difficult to walk, so naturally it is impossible to go.

But luckily, I brought all the Boxing gifts with me last time I went. With these things, there is no need to add anything to the house during the New Year, and the sister-in-law and grandson can also be more relaxed, after all, the maids in the Rashi Mansion are all newly trained, and the bolt can still help a little.

And in the entire Youzhou boundary, whether it is a newly appointed local official or a military general who guards the city on behalf of the county order, his official position is lower than that of Situ Jin, which saves him the trouble of giving gifts to others. However, the share of this gift cannot be saved.

"Young lady, you have been busy for more than half a year, and finally the young master's 200,000 army has been settled, so you don't need to live in a cold tent and drink the northwest wind!" Chiyu sorted out the gift list in her hand while gossiping with the young lady.

"Hmmm! However, this big winter day still let the generals live in the military tent after all. I wanted to build some houses that could live in front of the first snow, even if it was just a decent military camp! ”

"Young lady, you are not satisfied! In the military tent, there are all kinds of warm stoves and cotton clothes, and there are three meals of food, vegetables and meat in the pot stove! Even the tens of thousands of war horses are constantly fat and strong in the night grass. Do you know what those soldiers respect you? Chiyu felt that the young lady was too anxious, so she took the border now. Compared to when I first arrived, it was the difference between the world and the underground.

"Oh? I haven't heard of that! Although Situ Yan often walks around between the military tents, there are iron-blooded guards in front and behind where she passes, not to mention ordinary soldiers and generals. It's that the generals around Duanmu Xuan have to nod their heads if they want to see her.

"There is no one in the military camp who does not praise you as the reincarnation of Guanyin, such as the Buddha Tuosheng, according to your subordinates, except for the young master, you have the highest prestige!" Chiyu was a little proud, after all, her master had a good reputation, and she was really happy for her master.

"It's just a false name, and it's a shame that this place is still far away from the capital, otherwise if the emperor listens to these words. I'm afraid that the next moment I will kneel down to receive the holy decree and go to Beijing to ask for sin! "Situ Yan doesn't want to be famous, she just wants to help Duanmu Xuan and save herself. After all, the deadline given by the emperor is one day less than one day. She also had to show up in person.

The two were chatting when they heard hurried footsteps outside the door, "Young lady, it's the young master who is back!" "Chiyu's ear power will not be lost to the young lady. Hurriedly got up and went to open the door and open the curtains, and invited the young master to enter the door.

"Hmm. Tell the cook to make the meal hot, but I'm afraid that he may not be full after eating the banquet! "Seeing that there are still more than ten days to celebrate the New Year, there are more and more people inviting banquets these days, although this is a border city barracks, and now it is the most scarce thing after the military disaster, but these officials, whether they are civil servants or military generals, this should be talked about pomp and circumstance. With 5,000 years of Chinese civilization, the style of eating and drinking has also prevailed for 5,000 years.

"Yan'er. What have you been busy with today? Do you want to be a husband? Duanmu Xuan's first words when he entered the door every day were this, and Situ Yan had already become a habit of hearing it. replied casually, "Read the book and embroider!" "When I heard it, I didn't pay attention at all.

But Duanmu Xuan didn't care much, cleaned his face and changed his clothes, and then hugged his beloved wife into his arms, "If my Yan'er can honestly stay at home and read and embroider, unless the sun comes out in the west!" Tell me, where are you going to patrol today, but what's interesting? In fact, Duanmu Xuan had already been rewarded by his subordinates, but he was willing to listen to his beloved wife.

"It's just to take a look at the unfinished military cantonments and take stock of the food and herbs in each army. I originally thought of building a few tuns before the first snow, but after all, the sky still didn't fulfill people's wishes, and there was a shortage of manpower! Situ Yan has her own plan, and she knows it best.

"Yan'er, don't push yourself too hard, it's already very good now, where do we warriors who lead soldiers to fight care about living in a house or a tent, as long as we can have a bed, we can have a hot meal in the morning and evening, we will be very content!" These words are not Duanmu Xuan's comfort to his wife, but the truth. When he first arrived in Youzhou, looking at the ruins and broken tiles everywhere in Gaoxian County, even Duanmuxuan was a little worried, but now the 200,000 army has enough food and grass, and even some ordinary people begging for a living have gathered around Gaoxian County. This has popularity, and naturally there is hope, and even the market can see the merchant driving the car from time to time, but I don't know where the things on the merchant's car are bought from.

"Maybe I'm really in a hurry!" This can't be helped, this ancient people were carried on their shoulders, and how can it be compared to modern machinery and equipment to be convenient and fast.

"Yan'er, I have something I want to discuss with you?" Since Situ Yan brought back Li Guixiang, this matter has been thinking about Duanmu Xuan for a long time, but at that time, there was no charter for everything, even if he said it, he was afraid that his wife would not respond. But this time is different, and it's the New Year again, even if the wife doesn't want to rest, she has to rest.

"Say it! I'm listening to my wife! Maybe it's because the two have been getting along for a long time, and Situ Yan has been somewhat infected with the problem of poor mouth.

"I want to go to the Lijia Village where Yan'er lived when she was a child? When Yan'er followed her third brother to move the grave, I wanted to go, but I was still fighting at that time, so I missed it! Duanmu Xuan was a little apprehensive in his heart, he wanted to know everything about his wife too much, but he rarely mentioned it about his wife in the past. He could only find out for himself by going to the place where his wife had lived.

"It's good, but it's been barren for a long time, and now it's snowing, and I'm afraid I can't even find a foraging animal!" Situ Yan didn't doubt that she had it, anyway, it was just a place for her to reminisce.

"It's okay, I just want to see where Yan'er stayed when she was young, and it can be regarded as making up for the regret that my husband was not by your side at that time!"

"According to what you say, is it possible that the daughter's family in the world must know the man before she gets married?"

"Others and me, I have to know everything about Yan'er anyway!" Duanmu Xuan spoke quickly for a while. But he said what was in his heart, and he didn't dare to look at his beloved wife's eyes with a red face.

"Brother Xuan, I know what you're thinking. I have a secret, but this secret is not the time to say it now, I still say the same sentence, and when I can say it, I will be the first to tell you! ”

"Yan'er, I don't mean to force you for my husband!" Duanmu Xuan thought that his wife had misunderstood him, and he was anxious. Holding his wife's face, looking into her eyes and swearing to God.

"What a big deal, how do you need to swear! I believe in you! Situ Yan leaned her head on Duanmu Xuan's shoulder. This man who loved her deeply gave her a sense of security that she had never had in her previous life or this life, which felt a little like a grandmother's embrace, but it was also a little different.

The matter is decided, and it looks like the New Year is coming again. Duanmu Xuan finished explaining the matter at hand. He set off with Situ Yan and went straight to Xinchang County by carriage, fortunately, it is not far from Xinchang County, and it can be reached in three days by carriage.

"Yan'er, your carriage is a rarity, warm in winter and cool in summer!" Duanmu Xuan was really curious, a small carriage actually made his wife look like an inn, hot tea and snacks, soft couch silk quilts, and even the small stove for heating was different from what was sold outside.

"You allowed me to go out. But after the winter, I am not allowed to ride a horse, if I don't make the car more comfortable. I'm afraid that if I can't walk five miles, I'll have to be torn apart! Situ Yan is still used to riding horses, and this ride is much more tiring than riding a horse.

"Yes, it's all bad for the husband!" Duanmu Xuan hugged his beloved wife and tasted fragrant tea, eating dim sum.

"Yan'er! Yan'er! After a few whispers, his hands began to restless.

"Duanmu Xuan, you still don't stop, this is in the carriage, there are still Mo Feng and them outside, you are not afraid that someone will break in and bump into you in a while!" Situ Yan covered the top and couldn't take care of the bottom, and for a while she was so anxious that beads of sweat oozed from her head.

"They dare!" Where is Duanmu Xuan willing to give up, after saying three words, he threw his wife on the car, and drove along the bumpy car, and actually played a car shock, Situ Yan held his breath in a suppressed voice, and almost didn't kick Duanmu Xuan out.

……

"Yan'er! The husband really knows that he is wrong! The price of this hungry wolf was that in the next two days, Situ Yan didn't even say a word to Duanmu Xuan. And Duanmu Xuan is **** to be careful, everything goes according to his heart, but Situ Yan just ignores him with an iron heart. In fact, the anger in Situ Yan's heart had already dissipated, but she was afraid that she would be soft-hearted, and this person would relapse in a solid state, and it would not be herself who would be ashamed at that time.

And although the guards around the two don't know what happened, they can guess a little bit, it must be the young master who committed the taboo of the young lady, but now they are happy to see it, after all, the status of the young lady in their hearts has long been on par with the young master.

It wasn't until he arrived in Lijia Village that Situ Yan dared to talk to Duanmu Xuan, "Brother Xuan, it's always inconvenient to go out, you must not do this again, otherwise I won't pay attention to you when I go back!" ”

"Okay, promise not to act rashly for your husband!" As long as his wife is willing to forgive him, he is willing to let him run with the carriage, let alone just not messing around.

"Brother Xuan, go in along this path, and walk for half an hour to reach Lijia Village, look at the footprints on this road, maybe there are people in this village?" Since entering Youzhou this time, Situ Yan has not been to Lijia Village.

"Hello someone! It would be better if I could meet Yan'er's little fellow countrymen! Duanmu Xuan's words were full of vinegar, and Situ Yan, who listened to it, sighed and shook his head.

"Brother Xuan, I don't know who lives here, so you're jealous!"

"Where do I have?" The two of them have a deep affection, but they are bitter for the guards who are guarding outside the car. The road was wider, and they still had a place to avoid any movement in the car, but the carriage on this small road passed strongly, and they had to guard it, so they listened carefully to the conversation in the car.

Mo Feng glanced around, and saw that several guards pricked up their ears and listened to the root of the wall, and couldn't help frowning, these people have been following the young master for a long time, and they are becoming more and more unruly.

"You guys go to the village and have a look! If there are people in the village, ask who is in the village today and who live there? Mo Feng gave the order, and these people had to shrug their shoulders and take the order.

"Okay Mofeng, let them go with them when they're away!" Mo Yu also knew that these people had broken the rules, but the masters didn't mind, and he didn't have much to say.

"You're messing around with them, too!"

"I don't, don't wronged me! Mo Feng, you say this is also strange, these leather boots and leather hats made by the young lady for the Iron Blood Guard can't be seen thick, but they are warmer than the cotton ones, especially when riding a horse, I am sweating! ”

"The young lady has a heart, as a subordinate, it's good to be grateful, as for why this is so, if you dare to ask, you can ask, anyway, I don't dare!"

"Yes, I don't dare, you didn't see it, the young master's knife eyes, let alone say a word to the young lady, if anyone doesn't open their eyes and glance at the young lady, I'm afraid that tomorrow's tricks will have to be wasted, I don't want to be blind!"

"It's good to know, let's talk less and leave!" Mo Feng urged the horse to run to the front to open the way, and Mo Yu naturally retreated to the last to press the formation.

What did the people outside the car say, but the two people in the car didn't care, at this time, Situ Yan was telling Duanmu Xuan about his childhood, especially the superb grandmother Cao of the four brothers of the Li family.

As the two were talking, they saw the pathfinder in front of them running back, "Captain, there are only ten families in the village, but one of them knows the young lady!" ”

"Who?" This time it was not Mo Feng who was standing in front of the carriage, but Duanmu Xuan who was sitting in the carriage, with his ear power, how could he not hear the voices of people outside. It's just that it doesn't matter, and he doesn't care.

"Back to the young master, this person's surname is Li, his name is Yan, and he is one of the brothers surnamed Li!" The affairs of the four brothers of the Li family, these iron-blooded guards already know.

"Why is the fourth brother here?" Now even Situ Yan is not calm, shouldn't Li Shilang be in Heyang County? Why didn't I hear Saburo say that this person had returned to his hometown. Hurriedly lifted the curtain and asked.

"Where are the people?"

"Back to the young lady, people are already waiting at the entrance of the village!" Situ Yan was suspicious, and ordered to hurry up, that is, sit back in the car.

"Yan'er, why did Li Shilang come here?"

"I don't know, the third brother didn't mention it to me, and he didn't mention the letter he received from the eldest brother a few days ago, could it be that the fourth brother is in trouble again?" Situ Yan was only afraid that Li Shilang would make another mistake and fled here, after all, in addition to the capital and Henan County, this Li Shilang only had Lijia Village to return to.

"Yan'er, don't think about it too much, you'll find out when you meet someone and ask!" Duanmu Xuan was smiling a moment ago, but he was also unhappy at the moment, among the four brothers of the Li family, his least favorite was this Li Shilang, after all, this person had helped Cheng Feng calculate his woman.

Situ Yan nodded, and now only when she saw it did she know what was going on. (To be continued.) )
