The first time she saw the scenery of the Northland, it was very different from what she expected. Standing on the four-story treasure boat by the railing, I saw that the two sides of the strait were full of devastation, and it was clearly a warm spring, but it made people feel the bleakness of the twilight autumn.

"How so?" As far as the eye can see, there are vast, bare land. There were stacks of withered yellow grass beside the road, and occasionally there were a few old trees with teeth and claws, and their leaves had fallen. Looking at the house, it should have been a village, but the cultivated land that had been cultivated had been cracked in the face of drought, densely packed, criss-crossed, and looked from the boat like a huge cobweb.

She couldn't see her head as far as she could see, and there was such a withered scene on both sides of the strait. At this moment, it is evening, only sporadically, with a few wisps of cooking smoke, behind the distant mountains, the red sunset at the end of the sky is especially miserable.

He wrapped his arms around her waist and carefully gathered the ties of her cloak. An indifferent glance deserves to be careless. "In recent years, there have been years of conscription and heavy taxes. There are floods on both sides of the strait from time to time, and there are not a few dry periods. The cultivated land originally depended on the sky to live, and if it could not survive, it had to leave its hometown and find another livelihood. ”

"I can't get by......" she murmured, touching deeply. She was born and raised in the wealthy Jiangnan, and she is a noble daughter of a family, in the end, she is pampered and eats corn, but she doesn't know that the outside world has been so difficult. She thought that when she went back to Lushan, she saw the bustle of the market all the way, and the hawkers who carried the burden and walked the merchants, and the guys who shouted and sold mash, were the most simple ways of living for ordinary people. She is deeply ingrained in her mind, and she is bitter, so she should be clothed with thorn hairpins, plain coarse kudzu cloth, tied clothes and draped around her waist, and farmed and raised chickens to be a female red in exchange for silver.

It turned out that she was just shallow and took it for granted. Hearing him mention the conscription, she leaned her back against his chest, and her little hand slid down and rested lightly on the palm of his hand that encircled her waist, and suddenly rushed to a rush hanging over her head.

"Why do you need to be conscripted for years and years and abandon farming?" The arable land in the north is already barren, and if we ignore it like this, we can imagine how difficult the people's livelihood is.

She was a wise woman, and he knew it early on. I didn't expect this girl to have such a keen insight, which was beyond his expectations.

"Why conscription?" He narrowed his eyes slightly, and his jaw was tense and sharp in her eyes. "Since the formation of the inner court, the court has changed. After the family found out, they secretly hoarded private soldiers in case the Taiwei Mansion held the military power and took advantage of the situation. On the other hand, the Wei clan is not easy to bully, so naturally he will not be restrained. All sides recruit sergeants privately, and in this way, the disadvantages are obvious. ”

Her eyes widened, but she didn't expect that the inner court was the source of this disaster. Yes, the battle between the imperial power and the family, once the soldiers meet, the disaster will not stop in Jinai.

Silently, he shook his hand tightly, and silently worried about him. He was in such a position that he couldn't make a mistake. No matter how much he calculates, he is still on the blade. Leng Buding, he was caught by King Wen in the wrong place, and he was knifed, the knife with a gloomy and cold glow, but he only took people's lives and didn't recognize people.

Seeing that she turned around, obediently lay on his chest, buried her head and said nothing. After a little thought, he guessed that she was delicate and thoughtful.

This girl...... In addition to losing his temper and ignoring people, he also knew that he felt sorry for him. His peaceful eyes rose to smear color, touching the top of her hair, and the bottom of his heart was ironed like never before.

"Are you afraid? is the princess of this world, and there may not be a life. He seemed to be laughing, but there was no frolicking on his face. The world is unpredictable, and even he has no chance of winning.

She tugged at his dark robe, how could she not understand, so she was also afraid. What's so terrible, at this point, stretching out his head and stabbing his head, shrinking his head is also a knife, and then asking her to let him and others be unwilling. So he mustered up his courage and rubbed his head against his chin. "You can't be afraid to know."

Hearing her words, she was very aggrieved, and she was so scared that she even trembled. Fortunately, I didn't make any mistakes, and I knew that I couldn't let him down.

The two stood on the deck embracing each other, her eyes were full of melancholy, and under his eyes, there were no waves in the ancient well, and he couldn't detect the depth.

In two days, the boat traveled to the boundary of Xuzhou, and it was able to reach the ferry in the evening. The seven girls were tired of staying on the boat, staggering, where could they be more down-to-earth. If you miss this place, the next supply will have to wait until more than half a month has passed.

So I woke up this morning, lay on the couch, and honestly wrapped around the thin waist of the person next to me. didn't speak, obediently nested on his heart, it was rare that he didn't have a small nose and a small face, and whispered to blame him for not following the rules.

From the day she came aboard, the man forced her to lie down with him. Fortunately, he was always moved, except for catching her and kissing her in the dark, and he couldn't breathe. On the side, he restrained himself and didn't go any further.

She thought that she had chosen a vacancy, and how could she go down and walk. was afraid that he would not let him go, so he found an excuse, spoke softly, and talked to him well.

"I heard that in this Chenliu County, every family weaves cloth and opens workshops, and the craftsmanship is not bad. In the evening, when I was free, I got off the boat and bought some good cloth, and now there is nothing to do on the ship, so I will make you soft shoes to wear in the double room, and you can make them in three or two days. lest you get off the clogs, and walk on the plank with annoyance. Second, at this time, the night is cold, and clogs are not suitable. ”

I didn't say that I wanted to get off the boat to relax my muscles and breathe. I only picked what he liked to hear. Gu Yan didn't open his eyes, he only hugged this cunning one, and evoked a clear laugh.

Seeing his demeanor, she gradually blushed. I guessed that he saw through her careful thinking, but he didn't say anything, but he made blatant fun of her in front of her. This person is also hateful, but she still has her eyes closed, and her unfathomable appearance is so ashamed that she dares to be angry and dare not speak.

"Should it be?" Look at his chest vibrating slightly, and he laughed sullenly. She raised her foot and kicked his shinbone, neither light nor heavy, she was not willing to exert force, she grabbed the placket of his clothes in her hand, and did not give up.

"Hmm," he snorted, and then slowly lifted his eyelids. The little girl was shy and angry, delicate and charming. It's getting rarer and harder. "Where to learn the rules, there is no dignity." After that, he turned over and pressed it, grabbed her head that was not good and wanted to dodge, regardless of it, and took her little mouth.

"Soft shoes, make a few more pairs."

She listened to his soft voice in a trance, trembling her eyelashes, and without hesitation, she raised her hand to hook his neck. He is an extremely picky person, and when he applies things, he is either made by the palace or specially made by the government. I didn't say anything polite to her like this, and how much it meant was hidden in the words.

She met him, gasping for breath, listening to his forbearance, snorting in her ear. The longer I get along with him, the more I find him good.

The seventh girl got the answer of the prince, and she was in good spirits all morning, hoping that the ship would dock earlier. However, some things are not satisfactory, no, it is a noon break, people are still staring in a daze, but their stomachs suddenly cramp. Wave after wave, the pain of yin and yin.

He went out to explain his errand to Zhou Zhun and took the newly delivered official document. As soon as I entered the house, I heard her humming and chirping in the gauze tent, like a cat, with a faint crying tone.

His heart tightened, and he strode over to open the soft tent, and when he saw a layer of fine sweat on her forehead, she bent her legs and arched the brocade quilt, twisting slightly from side to side, and her beautiful facial features were wrinkled in one place.

The loud voice was called to the doctor, and he freed his hand, bent down to pick her up, and slapped her on his lap, thinking that she had been sick again because she had not been cured of her previous sickness. Two fingers gently pressed the corners of her forehead, leaned over and called her softly, "Ah Jin, but you have a bad headache?" ”

A moment ago, I was lying alone on the couch, no matter how much pain I had, I was holding back my strength. At this time, when she arrived in his arms, her nose was sore, and she couldn't help it anymore, and suddenly there were tears in her eyes. Poor yelled at him, "Uncomfortable, stomach hurt......"
