The imperial court disaster relief food team entered Fengyuan County on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

As soon as the convoy entered the city, it was warmly welcomed by the people.

Everyone is looking forward to it, and there is food!

Finally, we can eat hot white steamed buns and sticky rice porridge, warm charcoal for warmth, and plenty of wood to build tents and repair houses.

The hearts of the people are boiling. They surrounded the convoy one after another, their blazing eyes full of excitement and anticipation.

Guo Taishou came to greet him personally.

When unloading the car, Xiao Xiaoshen called Guo Taishou to the side, pointed to Gu Yunxi, who was busy not far away, and said with a fake tiger:

"See her? That's the wife of the overseer of my family, this time the nursing woman made a special trip to Jiang'an to visit the victims, and your house must be well served! ”

"...... she?"

Guo Taishou looked in the direction of Xiao Xiaoshen's finger for a long time, and rubbed his eyes again hesitantly to look carefully.

Standing next to the grain cart was clearly a handsome young man, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, not as old as his own daughter.

"What? Haven't you ever seen a woman dressed as a man when you're out of the house? ”

Xiao Xiaoshen saw that this Taishou was full of doubts, and unconsciously frowned deeply, and was very displeased.

"Oh, the lower official is rude, the lower official is rude." Guo Taishou hurriedly surrendered his hand:

"Xia Guan will immediately prepare a place for his wife."

At this time, he wondered in his heart:

With the power of the admiral of the East Factory, it is not uncommon for a eunuch to find a wife to act as a vase. But the little girl I saw just now is too different in age from the cold overlord of the East Factory!

Lord Leng looked at Lang's handsome and beautiful character, how could he find a beautiful flower to be a foil, why did he fall in love with a young and young girl?

Xiao Xiaoshen looked around, but he didn't see the figure of the overseer, and asked Guo Taishou again:

"Where has my overseer gone?"

"Lord Leng went to West Lane early in the morning to inspect the repair of the collapsed houses. My lord, now that the Taishou Mansion is full of disaster victims, why don't you ask your wife to move to the lower official mansion and be taken care of by the lower officials' families, I don't know what the adults want? In the evening, the subordinate will escort the overseer to the mansion to reunite with his wife. ”

Xiao Xiaoshen thought about it, after all, it was more convenient for the female dependents to stay with the female dependents.

Guo Taishou immediately sent a sedan chair for Gu Yunxi and personally sent her to Guo's mansion.

Xiao Xiaoshen, Shifangtou and Qing'er followed back home.

On the other hand, Guo Taishou instructed a servant to quickly go to the West Lane to find Leng Qingtang and inform him that the Admiral's wife had arrived in Fengyuan, and now Guo's mansion was resting.

——

In Guo's mansion, Gu Yunxi met Guo Taishou's wife Guo Yin and their children.

Guo Yinshi is in his early Chinese New Year's Eve, wearing a heavy purple placket jacket and a moon-white embroidered bamboo thread skirt, combing his hair in a rich peony bun, and several not gorgeous hair accessories between the green silk.

Although the overall dress is simple and unpretentious, it is not dignified, and her appearance is beautiful, and she does not lose her graceful and graceful temperament.

Her daughter Feiyi is less than twenty, and she was also born with a beautiful appearance and got married last year. This time I took advantage of the New Year to go back to my parents' house to visit my parents, who would have thought that I would have encountered a snow disaster.

Seeing that her father was running around and was busy raising food for disaster relief, her mother took the people in the house to make soup and porridge, so she stayed at her mother's house and never returned, helping to take care of the affairs of the house.

Guo Taishou's only son was ten years old, born white and fat, and was very favored by his parents at first glance.

Guo Taishou also has an old mother, who has never met Gu Yunxi because of old age.

Guo Yin's family treated people warmly and prepared a lunch to entertain Gu Yunxi. And when he saw that she and her maid were in a dusty manner, he ordered hot water to be boiled for her to bathe, and found his daughter's half-new clothes, and let the two girls change their clothes.

After taking a bath, Gu Yunxi and Qing'er changed into women's clothes.

At this time, Gu Yunxi thought that today happened to be the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, if it wasn't for the white disaster, it would have been the day of the Lantern Festival.

When she found Guo Yin's family, she was making soup balls with all the people in the house, and later took them to the porridge shed and distributed them to the victims.

Gu Yunxi's eyes lit up, cooking food was her specialty, so she volunteered to join everyone and help cook.

There are a complete range of glutinous rice ball fillings prepared in Guofu, including black sesame, hawthorn, granulated chestnut paste, milk peanuts, and five kernels.

The sticky and soft Jiang rice noodles are wrapped in sweet filling, and they are kneaded round and delicate, which is lovely.

Guo Yin's family distributed the food of the family members in the house, and the rest was distributed to the victims and the people in the house according to the amount.

Add water to the big wood pot on the stove, pour in the red beans that have been soaked all night, boil and stir into sand, mix with water and put into the rice balls to cook, and the traditional food on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is out of the pot!

——

It was getting late, Leng Qingtang, accompanied by Guo Taishou, hurried to Guo's mansion, and was led to the north chamber by Taishou, and before he entered the house, he heard bursts of laughter coming from inside.

What a familiar voice—

This pleasant and sweet laughter made Leng Qingtang's heart suddenly warm up, and his feet were stunned.

At this time, Guo Taishou walked up the steps, picked up the curtain under the porch, and invited the overseer to enter the house.

The room was filled with the smell of sweet fragrance, and a group of people, large and small, were gathering around the round table at the moment, holding sweet white porcelain bowls in their hands and eating vigorously.

Guo Yin first met Leng Qingtang in the porridge shed, and now seeing him enter the house, he hurriedly got up with her daughter, blessed him together, and said respectfully:

"The concubine and the little girl have met the overseer."

A group of people then stood up and saluted. Especially Xiao Xiaoshen, who hadn't seen Leng Qingtang for many days, and called "Overseer" affectionately in his mouth, the brilliance in his eyes was not extinguished.

Leng Qingtang smiled and responded politely to everyone one by one, and finally turned all his eyes to Gu Yunxi.

I saw her sitting at the table a little overwhelmed, her head in a cloud bun, a chic white jade lotus hairpin on her temples, a plum blossom inlaid goose yellow jacket on her upper body, and a rose-colored pleated skirt on the bottom.

The bright color of her clothes lined her little face with pink, and a pair of apricot eyes flashed and watery, and she only met the phoenix eyes of the Overseer for a moment, and then hurriedly dodged.

Feng's eyes lit up, and he was amazed by the elegant and delicate characters in front of him. It was clearly only a few days apart, but at this moment it made him feel that a long time had passed.

She lost a lot of weight, and she was not full of energy.

The room was silent for an instant, and no one spoke anymore, staring at the pair standing one by one in a daze.

Guo Yinshi looked at Leng Qingtang and Gu Yunxi, only to say that the two had been separated for a few days, and they missed each other in their hearts, and now they were able to see each other, and they were happy for a while, and they couldn't wipe their faces in front of everyone.

Guo Yin smiled and greeted Leng Qingtang:

"Please sit down, today is the Lantern Festival, everyone is eating the rice balls wrapped by Mrs. herself, the taste is really sweet and glutinous, the concubine will give the overseer a bowl to warm up, and the reunion will be for the festival."

As he spoke, he took a clean empty bowl to the small copper stove opposite, and his face changed suddenly.

The red bean paste in the pot is almost bottomed out, and there is less than half a bowl at all, and there are only two rice balls.

Seeing Guo Yin's embarrassed expression, Leng Qingtang smiled generously:

"Mrs. Guo doesn't have to be busy, this bowl is fine."

Leng Qingtang stretched out his hand and picked up the porcelain bowl in Gu Yunxi's hand, there was still a lot of bean paste in it, and there were three small and delicate snow-white rice balls floating on the delicate and slippery surface, which was very appetizing.

He pinched a small spoon and stirred some bean paste, and the dough did not change color and sent it into his mouth.

The room was even quieter.

Guo Yin's daughter looked slightly red, both envious and ashamed, and covered her mouth with wide sleeves and laughed silently.

In front of everyone, Gu Yunxi suddenly blushed, surprised but secretly happy.

No matter what kind of festival the two had before, the Overseer still had her in his heart, otherwise he would never have avoided it in front of others.

Guo Yin sensed that the atmosphere was not quite right, and hurriedly said:

"Since the overseer is back, let's stay in the house tonight, and the concubine will order someone to prepare."

After speaking, she glanced at everyone and motioned for everyone to leave quickly, leaving space for the two people who were in love.

"Overseer, hehe......"

Xiao Xiaoshen stopped when he passed by Leng Qingtang, patted the back of his head and laughed:

"My subordinates brought Sister Yunxi to you safely. You've been out for a long time, and we all miss you! ”

Leng Qingtang was silent, and he glanced at him angrily.

A few days ago, Xueying, who had delivered the message, brought the news delivered by Cheng Wanli to the overseer who was in Fengyuan, asking the overseer to pay attention to whether Xiao Xiaoshen and Gu Yunxi had arrived in Fengyuan with the relief food team.

"You ran out, does your master know?" Leng Qingtang asked with a stiff face.

Xiao Xiaoshen didn't dare to hide it, and replied in a muffled voice:

"Enlighten the Governor, my subordinates are going out this time...... It was not approved by the Master. ”

"You can figure it out...... Go ahead and rest! Leng Qingtang didn't blame Xiao Xiaoshen.

On the way back, he already knew from Guo Taishou that the disaster relief food team had encountered robbers in the mountains. can bring Yunxi peace to his eyes, and it can be regarded as Xiao Xiaoshen's meritorious service.

At this time, only Leng Qingtang and Gu Yunxi were left in the house.

She sat motionless, dignified. He stood motionless, majestic and majestic.

The atmosphere was still quiet, and no one said the first word, as if they were expecting something from the other.

Gu Yunxi's heart beat faster, and the dull sound of "sudden" sounded in the dull air, as if it could be easily captured.

Obviously, she felt that the overseer's intent gaze was enveloping her, but his silent state made Gu Yunxi's heart suddenly bottomless.

After a moment of silence, she got up in a panic and decided to flee.

Leng Qingtang stretched out his arms to intercept it, and then dragged her fiercely, and then encircled her whole person into his arms.

She hit him in the chest and fell red, trying to earn but not daring.

"Overseer......" she called to him timidly.

"It's freezing, what are you doing here?" The interrogation voice is not in any tone.

"I, I'm here to see you, you're not in the house, my heart and heart are empty......

Gu Yunxi lowered his eyes and spoke eloquently. Lenovo was thrilling along the way, sleeping in the open and encountering mountain bandits, unconsciously his nose was wet and bright, and his eyes were flushed.

Leng Qingtang took her hand and looked down, only to see that there were several frostbites on her hands, and her swollen joints were red and purple.

The sword eyebrows frowned slightly, and the phoenix's eyes were full of indescribable distress. I opened my mouth to say something, but it was like a stalk in my throat.

The two phases let go -

Every time he thinks of these four words, his heart will ache and shiver.

"Now that you see, you don't have to worry about me. The snow is slowly melting, and I will let Xiao Shen escort you back to Beijing early tomorrow morning. He whispered, and there was an unquenchable sorrow between his eyebrows.

Gu Yunxi was startled, and raised his head one by one, the tears piled up in his eyes were shocked out of his eyes by this violent action, and two strings were hung on the side of his emaciated cheeks, which were crystal clear, with this pretty little person, Leng Qingtang's heart trembled suddenly.

At this moment, her emotions were like falling tears, more and more aggrieved, more and more unable to help herself, she actually cried in front of the overseer's eyes, sobbing like a child who had been lost for a long time, and finally found her relatives who had not met for a long time, and vented all her sadness and dissatisfaction.
