Five years ago, the Xinjiang General Military Office.

Wen Yulong, the chief soldier, took the order, and as soon as he hurriedly entered the mansion, he said to his wife Shen Ruomei: "Madam, look, we can go back to Beijing in a few days."

"Congratulations to Brother Long, who has been promoted to the position of Admiral of the Nine Gates." Shen Ruomei was naturally happy, and bowed to her husband.

"Madam, you and I are one, so naturally we are happy and congratulatory." Wen Yulong smiled heartily, held his wife's hand, and looked around for a pair of children: "What about Song'er and Rong'er?" Tell them to pack their bags as soon as possible and set off for Beijing in three days. ”

"The two of them, I'm afraid that they will go to the mutual market under the jade mountain again, I will immediately ask someone to find them back, I am afraid that I will ......"

"Madame is worried that the children will not leave this place, right?" Wen Yulong frowned slightly.

"Yes, my husband and I are naturally eager to return to Beijing as soon as possible, but the children have lived here for nearly eight or nine years, and they can be regarded as growing up here. In addition, the people here are simple and simple, and the days are relaxed and leisurely, unlike the rules in Beijing, such a comfortable and free life, they like it tightly, and they can be happy all day long. ”

Listening to his wife's words, Wen Yulong waved his hand, "Although the children enjoy the life here, after all, the capital is our hometown, and we always have to go back to Beijing." Especially Rong'er, in two years, she will be sixteen years old, and it is only right to return to Beijing as soon as possible, learn the rules, and marry into the palace as soon as possible. ”

"My husband's words are reasonable, I only hope that Rong'er will marry into the palace when the time comes, and she will be in harmony with the little prince and his wife, safe and smooth, and you and I will rest assured."

Shen Ruomei is very lucky in this life, married to Wen Yulong as his wife, the husband and wife are harmonious, a pair of children are lively, and the family is happy.

The most important thing is that Mr. Wen is devoted to his wife and has never had the idea of marrying a concubine, which is Shen Ruomei's greatest happiness.

Therefore, of course, she hopes that her daughter can marry a lover like herself, and be happy and smooth in this life.

Under the Jade Mountain.

The mutual market on the grassland is the most lively place, and it can also best highlight the simple folk customs of the children of the grassland.

The open grass is littered with women's homemade clothes and accessories, as well as a variety of small objects.

The most precious thing here is all kinds of prey obtained by hunters, carried on their shoulders, found an open space, threw it under their feet at will, sat down leisurely, and waited for someone to match it, and then bartered.

The satisfied smile on the nomad's face is exceptionally pure in the spring breeze on the grassland.

Fourteen-year-old Wen Xuerong, followed by his eldest brother Wen Xuesong, and two guards, were walking and looking left and right, excited and excited.

This thing on the market, she felt that it was all great things, walking, casually picked up a horsewhip, held it in her hand and tried it, and raised it, whether it was the length or the weight, the color of the binding cloth, it was just right, it was very good, she couldn't put it down in her hand, and she was reluctant to put it down.

The old grandmother sitting on the ground was reluctant to let go when she saw Xue Rong pick it up, so she smiled and said: "Little girl, your vision is really good, this is a special horse whip made by the old man of our family, his craft of making horse whips, but it is famous far and wide, just this one, he has been carefully knitting it for seven or eight days!" ”

"Okay, old grandma, then I want all of them." After that, he instructed his entourage, "Akang, go and fetch two fine Shu brocades and add a bag of fine salt." ”

Ah Kang took off the Shu brocade from the horse and put it in front of the old grandmother, Wen Xuerong personally handed the bag of fine salt to the old grandmother, Wen Yan asked: "Grandma, are these enough for two horse whips?" ”

"One horse is enough, not so many." The old grandmother shook her hand and refused.

"Grandma, it's okay, you can keep it first, and next time there are more horsewhips, I'll get two more, okay?"

"Good, thank you! But be sure to pick it up next time! The old grandmother was afraid that Xue Rong would forget, so she hurriedly instructed her and handed over the other one to her.

Xue Rong took it and handed it to the eldest brother casually, "Brother, this one is for you." ”

Wen Xuesong happily took the horsewhip, raised it in his hand, and praised his sister with flying eyebrows, "It's really good, my sister's vision is good." Moreover, every time he comes out, my brother has a gift, and our little sister is the most sensible. ”

"My brother is also very good! Every time you take me to the market, let's go to the front and have some gifts for Grandma and Daddy. ”

As he spoke, his eyes fell on a snow-white fox fur in front of a hunter, and he immediately took two quick steps, bent down and held it in his hand, and groped it carefully.

This snow-white fox fur is silky and delicate to the touch, open without a hint of variegation, and light and warm. Xue Rong immediately thought that this could be made into a shoulder for A-Niang, which was warm and light, just right.

Raising her head, the middle-aged hunter was looking at her with a smile and said, "Miss Wen is here again, the snow wolf skin from last time can be used." ”

Xue Rong looked up, it turned out to be an old acquaintance, and his little face was full of smiles, "It turned out to be Uncle Batu, the snow wolf skin last time was very good and very useful, but I like this white fox fur even more!" ”

"Miss Wen's vision is good, is this the fur of the snow fox? Since the second lady likes it, you can take this fox fur. Batu picked up the fox skin and stuffed it into Xue Rong's hand.

"Okay, Uncle, do you want silk and medicinal herbs this time, or salt?" Xue Rong hurriedly took it and asked the other party back.

The reason why she asked like this was that the silver in the Central Plains was not easy to use here, and it was all barter, and it would be more practical to exchange it for what was needed most.

"Miss Wen likes it, just take it away, Batu doesn't need anything this time."

Xue Rong was anxious when she heard this, "That's not good, I remember, your eldest daughter is about to get married, do you need some silk to give her a dowry?" And your old Eminem's illness, I also need some medicinal materials, I have them, but there are not many, so I'll give you some first, and I'll make up for it next time, it's good. As he spoke, he turned around and called Akang.

As soon as he turned around, Ah Kang, who was already familiar with the temperament of the young lady, had already held a piece of silk and a small wooden box in his hand, looked at the former and said, "Miss, that's all left for you." ”

Xue Rong took it and was about to give it to Uncle Batu, but he tried his best to block it with his hand, insisting that Xue Rong would never let go of the things in his hand, and shook his head desperately: "Miss Wen, I really don't need it." In the past, no matter what you change, you will always give several times more objects, Uncle often doesn't want to go, this time, I should return you a gift, okay. ”

"Wait for next time, okay? You see we're going back, and we're going to take these silks with us, and we're going to have to take them back, so it's troublesome, so you can take it quickly. Xue Rong found all kinds of excuses, and stuffed things into Uncle Batua's hands again.

The latter knew that every time Wen Xuerong would find these excuses and excuses, anyway, he would never take his prey in vain anyway, so he had to accept it.

Xue Rong watched Uncle Batu put away the medicinal materials, opened his hands to thank him, and hurriedly returned the salute, and after watching him walk away, he asked Ah Kang with a look of disappointment: "The silk and medicinal materials are gone!" Didn't I tell you to bring as much as you could before you went out? It's only been a little bit of a long mutual market, maybe there will be more good things in the future? ”

Cedar raised her hand and scratched her sister's nose and said, "My eldest lady! Bring enough of it, but with your exchange method, you always give twice as many things, even if you bring more, it's not enough! ”

The reason why Wen Xuesong said this is because the silk brocade of the Central Plains, as well as salt and scarce medicinal herbs, are the most precious things in this mutual market.

But Xue Rong, on the contrary, she thinks that the objects on the mutual market are the most valuable, so she always feels that it must be exchanged for more than double the things to be the fairest trade.

Therefore, even if she brought enough things every time, under Wen Xuerong's conversion, she would quickly change it cleanly.

"Hehe, I just looked at it again, and I think we have changed enough things today, it's okay, just come back next time." Xue Rong finished laughing, but remembered an important question, "However, it seems that there is no gift for Daddy yet, but how can it be good?" ”

"It's okay, just give this whip to Daddy, my brother already has a lot of them." Cedar coaxed her frustrated sister.

"Well, it's better to be my brother, you see, the mutual market has also been visited, let's go horse racing!" In a blink of an eye, Xue Rong became interested again, raised the horsewhip in his hand, and excitedly wrote a war letter to his brother.

On the wide grassland, four people are galloping on the endless green prairie.

Wen Xuerong raised the whip while quickly riding the horse, and excitedly shouted "Drive, drive ......", the horse was as fast as lightning, and the tender yellow shawl on her dress was also flying with the wind.

Among the four of them, although Xue Rong was young, she saw her riding a horse and whip, her posture was vigorous and light, and she rushed to the front in the blink of an eye, and did not forget to turn sideways and call out to the people behind her: "Brother, you are lagging behind again, my little sister will go to the crescent moon spring in front of you to wait for you!" ”

After speaking, the horsewhip waved, and shouted coquettishly; "Drive, drive", ride away.

Wen Xuesong smiled and said to Ah Kang and another guard beside him: "Hehe, are you letting Miss again, pretending that you can't catch up with her." ”

"Childe, you are wronged! The subordinates really can't catch up with the second lady. She is good at riding, and the BMW is extraordinary, how to chase it! The guard shrugged his shoulders and replied.

When the former heard this, he smiled awkwardly, who said it wasn't?

Wen Xuerong, who took the lead, arrived at the crescent moon spring first, then turned over and dismounted, and stood by the spring waiting for his brother and them.

He stood and waited, and before they could catch up, he walked to the spring, looked at his smiling reflection in the water, and straightened his windswept hair.

The bend of the spring in front of the eyes, because the shape is like a crescent moon, and in the depths of a verdant meadow, the spring water is clear, moist and shiny, so it is named: crescent spring.

Every time she comes out, Xue Rong will always come to the crescent spring, looking at this bend of blue water, she only feels refreshed.

After waiting for a while, she still didn't see her brother and them catching up, Wen Xuerong simply lay down by the spring water leisurely, and looked at the blue sky that seemed to be touched as soon as she stretched out her hand.

Young and pure, her mood at the moment is like a breeze kissing her face, and she is extremely comfortable and happy.

Such a free gallop on a horse, thirsty for drinking the water of the moon spring, tired of the freehand leisurely time under the Jade Mountain, she thinks that she will live a lifetime, and she will not get tired of it.
