Dayong's western border.

The sun is scorching, the yellow sand is all over the sky, and the west in June is really the hottest and hardest day.

In the scorching sun and dust, the armoured soldiers were all dusty and sweaty, wielding their weapons and training in a difficult environment.

The guards shouted slogans and shuttled through the line, letting the sweat fall from their jaws. After more than two months here, he has been sunburned off several layers of skin, and now he is black and thin, I am afraid that no one will be able to recognize him when he returns to Shengjing.

In the evening, after the training was over, and after the guards and other teams dispersed, they practiced a few sets of boxing in the school field before returning to their tents to rest.

The conditions in the west are difficult, not only refers to the harsh environment, but also the extreme scarcity of materials, because of the perennial high temperature, there are almost no crops here, and water resources are scarce, when they first arrived in the west, it took them a long time to find a piece of land close to the water source, suitable for camping, this is lucky, otherwise I am afraid that the war has not yet been fought, they will die of thirst first.

Back in the tent, the guard took off his armor, wet his handkerchief and wiped his body, even if he had taken a bath. There is no way, because of the scarcity of water resources, even drinking water has to be saved, and things like bathing can only be dealt with at will.

The guards are still clean, and many soldiers simply save their bodies and just wait for a bath once a few days.

Take care of personal hygiene, and take out the letter sent to the barracks today, which was sent by An Ruolan.

A simple letter to the family, most of them are gossip, not to say that the family is well, or to care about the life of him and his father in the barracks, although there is nothing important, but the guard is very serious. He knew a lot of things that were inconvenient to say in the letter. But he understood what she meant.

At the end of the letter, An Ruolan asked him not to reply. If there is something missing, let people have a word. Wei Xing knew that she was worried about falling into the trap, and she also saw that Wei Guofu was already being watched.

Read the letter word for word. Wei Xing frowned slightly, and carefully put the letter away.

Seeing that it was almost dinner time, he took out the hidden four seasons lotus paste while no one was around, evenly smeared it on the palm of his hand the size of a soybean, and then put the lotus paste away, got up and went to eat in the big tent.

The soldiers of the rank in the army all ate in the big tent, and the Duke of Wei Guo, who had a palm print, was not excepted.

When Wei Xing arrived, most of the people in the tent were already seated, so he naturally walked to Wei Guogong and sat down.

The father and son whispered a few words. Gaze swept to each other's palms, then nodded imperceptibly.

After everyone arrived, the soldiers brought the food, and everyone was not poor and exquisite, and they did it together.

The tent instantly became lively, and a group of men drank shirtless, shouting and laughing for eight or nine miles.

Halfway through eating, Wei Guogong and Wei Xing suddenly felt a sticky palm and lowered their heads to look at it. only to find that a piece of sludge came out of the palm of their hand at some point, and the two of them felt a pang in their hearts, and continued to eat without moving.

The meal was finished, and the wine was drunk. Lying down in the tent, Wei Guogong summoned the soldiers to send everyone back to their tents, and then said to Wei Xing: "Let's go out for a walk." ”

Wei Xing nodded silently. Follow him.

It was already dark, and the torches in the barracks were clearly extinguished in the wind and sand. Illuminate the world.

A lonely moon hangs high in the gray night sky.

The father and son didn't go far, they just walked in the nearby desert.

I found a high sand slope to stand down. Wei Guogong looked into the distance and said, "They finally made a move." ”

He rubbed the mud in his palms, and his expression was inexplicable.

Wei Xing was silent, and also raised his eyes to look north, which was the direction where Sheng Jing was.

"Dad, we must do our best to drive the Hu people away, Shengjing is not safe." For a long time, he said this with a calm face.

Wei Guogong glanced back at him and said, "This is a must, not only you are worried about your daughter-in-law." ”

After a pause, he said: "Ruolan's hand cream is good, my hand has not cracked and bleeding like other soldiers so far, you can ask her to send more here." ”

The corners ......of the guard's mouth twitched slightly, dare you always use the lotus cream as a hand cream?

Seeing his son's stunned appearance, Wei Guogong couldn't help but knock him on the head, hating iron and steel: "You kid can't be clever when you don't use war and soldiers?" Will you die if you don't go straight? ”

The guard pestle was like a piece of wood, nodding and shaking his head.

Wei Guogong didn't bother to care about him anymore, walked back with his hands behind his back, and muttered: "When I go back, I have to let my daughter-in-law train and train him well." ”

He didn't see it, and the guard smiled triumphantly behind him.

Different from the wind and sand in the west, Shengjing is splendid and prosperous, and the song and dance are level.

The banquet was one after another, one by one, the clothes were fragrant, the temples were fragrant, and between the sheng songs and dances, An Ruolan and Wei Shao became more and more silent and indifferent.

In less than three months, Wei Shao has matured a lot.

After hearing about the situation in the west, she never wore luxury jewelry again, never squandered a penny again, she became introverted and steady, she was still the same giggling and grinning northeastern girl as before, but in front of people, she learned to disguise.

Duchess Wei Guo also sighed that our Xiaoshao also has the appearance of everyone's ladies.

Wei Shao knew very well that it was the crisis that forced her to grow.

At the end of July, An Ruolan received a message from the guards to bring them back from the western border, and she immediately sent the two jars of lotus cream and two jars of hand cream that she had prepared.

Thinking about it, I think it's funny, in order to confuse the public, my father-in-law actually said that the lotus cream is hand cream, and I don't know if my uncle will be angry when he finds out.

Thinking of the elusive Uncle Shi, the corners of An Ruolan's mouth curved slightly, she was ready, as long as the Uncle Shi was willing to see her, she would be able to find out his true identity.

Choosing a cloudy day, An Ruolan took a bunch of gifts to Qianxunju to visit Zhong Siye, the gifts were all selected from the treasures hidden in her room, last time she had already asked people to send some over, this is the second batch.

As she thought, except for a few treasures that can be recognized at a glance as being from a foreign race, there are many other extremely hidden, and connoisseurs may not be able to see that they are jade ornaments from a foreign race.

An Ruolan also learned a lot of skills from it, as long as it is not too remote, she can basically tell whether a thing is from a different race, and now those things in the room, she only has one or two things that are unpredictable, and the rest are clear, although she really wants to send all the problematic things to Qianxunju, leaving only one or two in the Guogong Mansion, but thinking that there may be eyeliner in the Guogong Mansion, so as not to startle the snake, she can only endure it, mix the problematic objects with ordinary ones, and slowly send them out.

She plans to move things in six installments, but it also depends on the situation, and if King Gong moves early, she will also speed up.

Along the way, he was thinking about everything in the carriage, planning for the future, until the coachman reminded him, and An Ruolan found that he had unknowingly arrived at the inn of Qianxunju.

got out of the car and directly asked people to carry the gifts to the boat, and An Ruolan took another boat to the island with four joys and eight yuan.

After landing on the island, the three of them went directly to Zhong Siye's courtyard with gifts.

The medicinal materials base in the Northeast has begun to operate, and the medicinal materials produced in the Northeast have basically been rounded by He Ji, and the income is low at a suitable price, and then resold to all parts of Dayong at a high price, even overseas, in just one month, most of the cost has been recovered, and it is needless to say how profitable it will be in the future.

It was also because this matter was over that Fourth Master Zhong had free time to look at An Ruolan again.

After reading all the things An Ruolan brought, Zhong Siye picked out a few less conspicuous ones and asked them to put them away, and let the rest be put into the warehouse, planning to send them back to the Weiguo Mansion when the matter is over.

After finishing the business, An Ruolan made a small abacus, cooking and beating her back, until Zhong Siye was comfortable and comfortable, and she said: "Father-in-law, how was the matter I mentioned to you last time?" ”

Zhong Siye, who was sipping tea and eating roast fat duck, was stunned and asked, "What's the matter?" "There were so many things that he really couldn't remember.

An Ruolan widened her eyes, stopped what she was doing, and said, "It's about asking Uncle Shi to show up to see me!" ”

"Uh-oh, I remember." Zhong Siye suddenly realized, shrugged his shoulders and motioned for her to continue, and then said slowly: "I handed you a message, whether he wants to see you or not is not up to me." ”

"Can't you just say a few nice words for me? I really have something important! An Ruolan was in a hurry, and she didn't bother to control the strength of her hands, and she beat and pounded so that Zhong Siye screamed.

"Stop, stop!" Zhong Siye couldn't stand it and stopped, moved his shoulders and gasped: "I said that you murdered, who will give you silver flowers after beating your father-in-law to death?" ”

"Humph!" An Ruolan snorted angrily, "I don't care, I want to see my uncle and ancestor, and if I can't see him, I won't recognize you as a father-in-law!" ”

Zhong Siye glared and gasped, clutched his chest and said with grief: "You rebellious girl, you dare to threaten me, in vain I have loved you as my own daughter all these years!" ”

"Hmph, it's useless to act, I won't recognize you if you don't help me." An Ruolan crossed his hands on his hips, he didn't eat him at all, and he looked like I was just willful!

"Forehead......" Zhong Siye choked, rubbed his chin, and spread his hands and said: "Don't be so willful, it's not that your father-in-law doesn't help you, if I could suppress Shaowuchang you, I would have pressed people in front of you a long time ago, right?" We can't let such a trivial matter affect our father-daughter relationship, it's not worth it, you say, right? ”

An Ruolan only stared at him with a straight face, and raised his hands in surrender since he stared at him.

"Okay, okay, even if I owe you in my last life, I'll help you find a way, and I must let Shao Wuchang go to see you, it's all right?" Zhong Siye sighed helplessly, raising a daughter is self-abuse, reluctant to fight and reluctant to scold, what else can you do except follow it?

An Ruolan smiled at this time, put the duck head into his bowl, and said with a smile: "Thank you father-in-law, father-in-law really loves my sister the most!" ”

"Humph!" This time it was Zhong Siye's turn to snort. (To be continued......)
