Chapter 159: Blatant Favoritism
When Jing Mu returned home, Jing Hui was not there, only Bu Gu greeted him and said, "Childe, Miss Cheng's letter." ”
Jing Mu took it, lowered his eyes, put the letter in his hand and said lightly: "I know." ”
Bu Gu didn't seem to have anything else to say to him except for this incident, and just when Bu Gu was about to pass by Jing Mu, Jing Mu said loudly: "You don't have to prepare my meal tonight, I don't eat at home." ”
"Yes." Not alone.
Didn't ask much.
As a subordinate, if you want to live a long life, you still don't have to know too much.
After all, many times, knowing too much will lead to a short life.
"What about His Royal Highness?"
After all, Jinghui is here, although I don't know if he will live here, but he still has to ask.
"If he eats here, you can prepare, you can prepare in advance." Jing Mu said lightly.
In any case, he couldn't neglect his brother-in-law who came all the way from the imperial capital.
Otherwise, it won't be too good to spread in the future.
Jing Mu returned to the study, Jing Mu put the letter on the table, and couldn't help but rub his eyebrows.
I don't know if it's because of the cold wind, Jing Mu always feels that his body hurts extra much today.
It hurt so much that he felt like his breath was hurting.
After a long pause, he opened the letter sent by Cheng Yunmo.
Although he was very close to Cheng Yunmo, Cheng Yunmo didn't know his identity after all, and he deliberately controlled the time to reply to the letter.
Cheng Yunmo never guessed at him.
After Jing Mu read Cheng Yunmo's letter, he wrote a reply, but he didn't hand it over to Bugu, but put it away himself.
and the letter sent by Cheng Yunmo were put away together.
Since he has promised Cheng Yunmo to go to tonight's celebration banquet, he must be there.
After all, it is not a good habit to be untrustworthy, not to mention that the other party is still his boss.
That's not even more so.
The night in northern Xinjiang will be extremely cold, Jing Mu deliberately dressed quite thickly, quietly waiting for the night to fall.
Cheng Yunmo's celebration banquet is a continuation of the custom of the celebration banquet in the northern Xinjiang military camp.
Bonfires.
It's not as solemn as the imperial capital banquet, it's more like three or five friends getting together to chat about family life.
However, even though he said that, the official position still followed the rules of the banquet and set the table.
Compared to the ordinary soldiers who sat directly around the campfire, singing and dancing, it was much more formal.
It's just that there should be no shortage of bonfires and singing and dancing.
When Jing Mu came from home, he went directly to the banquet place, and Cheng Yunmo had not yet appeared at that time.
I don't know if it's because of the location of the bonfire, or if Jing Hui is very dazzling in itself, Jing Mu saw Jing Hui at first sight.
Jing Mu respectfully stepped forward and saluted, "Brother Shizi." ”
I only heard Master Li in the barracks say bluntly: "Lord Jingmu is here, do it quickly." ”
Jing Mu nodded at him, glanced at Jing Hui, and quietly avoided Jing Hui's move to touch his shoulder.
Jinghui smiled in disappointment: "Sit down." ”
Although Jing Mu clearly saw the loss in Jing Hui's eyes, he didn't say anything, but saluted and said, "Brother Shizi, I'll go sit first." ”
Although Jinghui had just gone to the barracks in the past two days, with his status as the prince of Dingbei, no one would be stupid enough to arrange his seat later.
Therefore, there is still a distance between Jingmu's seat and Jinghui's seat.
If nothing else, Jing Mu estimated that they might not have any conversation after the entire banquet.
Cheng Yunmo came with the coach Pei, and when she came, almost everyone had already arrived, and she could have a banquet directly.
The bonfire is bright, the singing and dancing are leveling, and the world is stable.
But in Jing Mu's eyes, there was nothing left.
Jing Mu looked at the singing, dancing and dancing bonfire, and felt that he was the only one left in the world.
Take another look at the banquet where people have already begun to move, and look at the appearance of them eating meat and drinking wine in large chunks.
At this moment, Jing Mu suddenly felt that he didn't belong to this world at all.
Jing Mu moved his muscles and bones, which were already numb to coldness, although he was already dressed much thicker than others, but there was still no heat on his body.
He was here at best, just as he wanted to leave.
Caught off guard when he heard his name from someone else's mouth, Jing Mu was forced to stay.
"Since the prince of Dingbei Hou has come, can Lord Jing Mu leave the barracks, after all, Lord Jing Mu is a civil servant, and it is not safe to stay in the barracks."
Without waiting for Jinghui to answer, Cheng Yunmo smiled and said: "General Bai is probably drunk, if the military camp is not safe, then where else is there safety in northern Xinjiang?" ”
"The military advisor atons for his sins, and the last general does not mean this." General Bai suddenly reacted that he had probably said the wrong thing, and hurriedly excused himself.
Cheng Yunmo waved his hand and said, "Tonight is my celebration banquet, we don't mention anything, although happy." ”
Cheng Yunmo stood up and raised his glass and said, "But my Cheng family has never used people in the military camp to hire people in the military camp. ”
"The people used never belong to the military camp, so the prince of Dingbei Houfu and Jing Mu don't want to do it at all."
Cheng Yunmo's move was just to blatantly say that she must protect Jing Mu.
Jing Mu looked at Cheng Yunmo, who was dressed in red, with a silver mask, and holding a wine glass.
I don't know why a tear suddenly flowed from my left eye, and Jing Mu closed his eyes.
This can be described as a blatant favoritism.
It was given to him by Cheng Yunmo.
It was the first time in his life that someone was blatantly biased towards him.
Jing Mu suddenly felt that his heart was swelling badly, and his throat was also very blocked.
Jing Mu could no longer stay at the banquet, he was afraid that he would lose his temper even more.
Arrived at a place where no one could only faintly see the light of the campfire, and faintly hear their laughter.
Jing Mu turned his back to the light again, squatted there, and hugged himself by himself.
Suddenly, I cried out loud.
He'd been alone in the dark long enough that he had never felt anything.
But when a man stretched out his hand to him with a full light.
At that moment, he suddenly felt very tired.
Jing Mu gradually cried so much that his body trembled a little, as if he wanted to cry out all the grievances he had suffered over the years.
When Jing Mu's mood gradually stabilized, Jing Mu sat quietly on the dry grass, looking at the twinkling stars in the sky.
I don't know what I'm thinking.
Cheng Yunmo got rid of a dry person's drinking, and after looking for it, he saw such a scene.
Jing Mu raised his head and looked at the starry sky, with some depression on his body.
But everything is very harmonious.
With him, with the starry sky, and with the faint depressive temperament he has.
Everything is as beautiful as a painting.
It is prohibitive, afraid of breaking this beautiful scenery.
But Cheng Yunmo still walked over, with a faint aroma of wine, and sat down beside Jing Mu: "Still sad?" ”
"Nope." Jing Mu said lightly.
Jing Mu has now recovered, and in the dark night, he can no longer find the traces of the cry he just had.
It's as if the cry just now is just a dream of Jing Mu, since it is a dream, naturally except for the dreamer.
No one else in this world knows about it.
Cheng Yunmo didn't look at Jing Mu, but asked lightly, "Do you want to leave the barracks?" ”
"Why would the military advisor ask that?"
"I thought about it, whether you stay in the barracks or not, in the final analysis, is still your business, and it still depends on your thoughts."
"What if I say I don't want to stay?"
"If you don't want to stay, I will naturally let you leave with dignity, but I used to be my person, there is no reason to let people see jokes."
"I said it, the Cheng family protects the short."
And the Cheng family's protection is not just talking.
Jing Mu suddenly felt a lot better, his eyebrows and eyes bent involuntarily, and he said with a smile in his words: "What if I don't leave?" ”
"No one in that barracks can bully you."
"The military advisor's words are really domineering." Jing Mu smiled.
After a pause, he looked at Cheng Yunmo and felt a little more sincere: "Then for many days to come, please take care of the military advisor." ”
"You don't ask for leave, everything is easy to say." Cheng Yunmo said lightly.
"Thank you for your concern."
"Are you happy?" Cheng Yunmo asked suddenly.
"What?" Jing Mu was suddenly stunned.
"Are you happy? I just saw that you weren't very happy. ”
"Do you Cheng family members have a lot of tenderness?"
"Gentle?" Cheng Yunmo said with some questions.
Fu seemed to understand the meaning of Jing Mu's words: Well, only for his own people.
"You are now my subordinate, if I bring the Cheng family over, your current position is the position of my Cheng family."
"You are now taking care of me in place of the Cheng family, and you are my subordinate, so rounding up is naturally the Cheng family."
"That military advisor really inherited the Cheng family's tradition of protecting the shortcomings."
So much so that he was included in the category of her short-term protection.
"Why didn't you bring the Cheng family over when the military advisor came?" Jing Mu asked.
"Because of trouble."
"It's as simple as that?"
"Or else?" Cheng Yunmo laughed.
Fu said: "I know that the outside world has a lot of speculation about me entering the garrison camp of the Northern Xinjiang alone. ”
"But what I just said is the truest thing I think I don't have."
Of course, it is also the most superficial idea.
As for the deeper thoughts, Cheng Yunmo felt that there was no need to say it.
I'm afraid I can't say it.
"I'm used to being alone, and there are too many people around me, and I'm not used to it."
This is indeed the truth, since Cheng Yunmo arrived at the Northern Xinjiang Military Camp, most of the things have been done by himself.
Of course, this may have something to do with the fact that she was the only girl in the barracks.
But if he wasn't used to doing this, Cheng Yunmo wouldn't have been able to do it so naturally and easily.
"The military advisor is really different."
"That can only say that the Cheng family is different." Cheng Yunmo smiled: "The big man of Jing Mu should know that my Cheng family is a little different from the side. ”
Jing Mu nodded, but the words that came out of his mouth were irrelevant: "The military advisor doesn't have to be so polite, just call me Jing Mu." ”
