Although the spring rain should be warmer and warmer, the rain in northern Xinjiang is still bitterly cold because of the cold climate. Nalan Jinxiu is not very accustomed to this kind of cold, so people lit a charcoal fire and sat in front of the brazier to roast their hands.

"County Lord, by all means. Ruyi ran over, took a box of handguard paste, and carefully applied a layer to Nalan Jinxiu's hands. Don't forget to whisper: "If you don't look at you, you will forget, so dry your hands and bake the fire directly, and you will dry your hands, and it will not be delicate when the time comes." ”

"It doesn't matter. ”

"You don't care about anything like this, but you don't know that a woman's skin is the most important thing. We just came from Jinling, and we are not yet used to the climate of northern Xinjiang, and if we don't pay attention at this time, we will hurt the bottom of our skin, and it will be too late to regret it later. ”

Nalan Jinxiu didn't mind listening to Ruyi's muttering, and her hands were warm on the charcoal fire, which was very comfortable. Ji Xiang just came back from outside, put the umbrella under the porch, carried a delicate food box, and put it in front of Nalan Jinxiu excitedly.

Nalan Jinxiu teased her eyes, estimating that this girl must have gone to get her something delicious again, so she couldn't help but smile: "What's in this box?"

"Glutinous rice candy man. ”

Glutinous rice candy man, Nalan Jinxiu opened the box and saw the little sugar man inside, and his heart suddenly sank. She took out one and ate it, the skin was crispy on the outside, glutinous on the inside, and there was a fragrance of lotus leaves. Why did she remember it again, didn't she tell herself that she couldn't forget it like this again? She shook her head, threw out all the messy thoughts in her head, and ate the candy man with her head down.

Ji Xiang Ruyi knows that she likes sweets, but the pastries in northern Xinjiang are far less varied than those in Jinling, and they are not as exquisite. After asking a lot of guards, I learned that there was a shop that made glutinous rice snacks, which was very famous in Chiyang City. Jixiang was going for the first time, and I didn't know how popular that store was, so I queued for a long time, and when I came back, it was raining heavily.

Nalan Jinxiu stuffed a string of them each, looked at Ji Xiang and said, "You still go out to buy things in such a heavy rain, have you been wet?"

"Nope. Thanks to Guard Mu, he knew the climate in northern Xinjiang and knew that it was going to rain, so he specially brought an umbrella before going out. ”

"That's good. ”

"But...... I took the snack, and the Mu guard held an umbrella for me, and neither I nor the dim sum were drenched, but he himself was wet. ”

Nalan Jinxiu looked out of the door and saw that Mu Li was still standing straight at the door. Isn't his clothes wet? Why don't you change your clothes? She sighed, Mu Li is also a stubborn character, extremely strong. Ever since the last time she had said those things to him, he had been more attentive to her and had behaved in a manner that seemed to upset her.

"Fetch me my fur fur, and I'll go and say a few words to him. ”

Ruyi took the big rice for her and put it on, Nalan Jinxiu put the glutinous rice candy man back in the food box, and said lightly: "It's a little sweet and greasy, I can't eat it, you two eat it." ”

"County Lord, what's wrong? Didn't you like sweets the most? ”

"That was before, and I don't like to eat it now, especially this glutinous rice candy man. ”

Ji Xiang Ruyi was confused by her, and the two surrounded the charcoal brazier and happily ate glutinous rice candy. I always feel that this should be the best dim sum in Northern Xinjiang, and I don't know why the county lord doesn't like it, when the third young master brought it to her last time, didn't she eat more happily?

Third Young Master...... Ji Xiang Ruyi suddenly understood, glanced at each other, and quickly stuffed the glutinous rice candy man into his mouth. I want to finish eating as soon as possible, so as not to let the county lord see it and bring back the past. After coming to Northern Xinjiang, she seemed normal, but in fact, she often couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, that is, she got better in the past few days.

Nalan Jinxiu's fox fur light fur is of excellent texture, and it was specially left to Ji Hongxuan before she went to Pingcheng. She is not used to the cold of northern Xinjiang, the fox fur is soft and light, and the warmth is excellent, which is most suitable for northern Xinjiang people to wear.

She stood next to Mu Li under the porch, looked at the pouring rain outside, and said calmly: "Your clothes are wet, go back and change your clothes!"

Mu Li does not move, the guards have their own duties, and he can't leave his post without permission just because the county lord is generous. This is the same as the teaching he received, as a soldier, he must not forget his duties and tasks because of hardships and because of his own reasons.

Seeing that he didn't move, Nalan Jinxiu said again: "My words that day were somewhat bad feelings, don't take it to heart." ”

Mu Li felt that he was offended by standing side by side with the county lord like this, so he took a step back, bowed slightly, and saluted: "My subordinates don't dare." ”

"Do you have to talk to me like that?"

"The county lord is noble, and his subordinates are ......"

"Shut up!" Nalan Jinxiu scolded him in a low voice, although her tone was still soft, it was not difficult to hear her displeasure: "My father and brother both love soldiers like sons, and the people who serve me have never regarded them as subordinates, you should know this." ”

"The county lord is generous, and his subordinates are grateful. ”

"Enough, you've been saying things to me for a long time, and I don't want to hear them. ”

Mu Li looked up at her and saw that she was wearing a snow-white leather coat with a wide belt, and her demeanor was calm. She does not have a trace of the temperament of a military general belonging to the king of Zhenbei, but she is very similar to the elegant demeanor of the prince. Even the tone of speech is the same.

She was born really good-looking, this kind of good-looking is different from the women he has ever seen, it is the ultimate perfection and the ultimate fragility fusion. Because she was too good-looking and too transparent, Mu Li was sometimes even afraid that the gale in the north would hurt her.

He wanted to protect her.

Thinking of this, Mu Li suddenly woke up, she and he have never been from the same world. He was destined to look at her all his life, let alone protect her all the time, as long as she wanted, there were not as many guards as he wanted......

"Mu Li, if you don't want to stay by my side, I won't force it. There was a look of apprehension in her dark eyes, obviously looking at him, but it was as if she had seen another person through him.

Yes, Nalan Jinxiu was gloomy in her heart from the moment she ate the glutinous rice candy man. She didn't want to admit it, but she had to admit that she missed him, very much, especially in this rainy weather.

However, the third brother didn't want her anymore. What does it matter to a person like her, who has died once, whether to marry or not? She does not ask to be able to face him day and night, as long as she can stay with him, even in the form of brother and sister, she feels that it is enough.

The experience of the previous life was always the most painful needle buried in her heart. The relatives around him left one after another, and the Taifu Mansion became an empty house overnight, with no popularity, and even things were looted. She stood in the huge courtyard, feeling the biting cold wind and powerlessness. It was as if she was an outcast, abandoned by the whole world.

Because she has lost, after being reborn, she cherishes everyone she meets. Some things may seem ordinary to outsiders, but in the eyes of a person who has experienced death and come back to life, they are precious.

The third brother was stationed in her heart when she was at her most vulnerable. She relied on him, liked him, and treated him more often as a relative. This makes her heart extremely stable, whether it is prosperous or troubled, whether it is brocade clothes and jade food or rivers and lakes, there will be someone who will never abandon her, which is the most important thing for her.

Of course, she also met a lot of people who really treated her. maternal grandmother, Ji Hongxuan, Zhenbei Wang, Xu Jince...... And the way and time when these people appeared were not as good as the third brother's. Life is so strange, at a certain point in time, that person appears, and everyone in the future can no longer take his place.

She was sincere, but she couldn't get an explanation from him, in the final analysis, it was just her wishful thinking......

Mu Li's mind was still shocked by what she had just said, it should be right to leave her and return to the life that belonged to him! But if he follows her from time to time, Northern Xinjiang is so chaotic, and she only has two little girls by her side as a weak woman, what should she do if she encounters danger?

Mu Li lowered his head, and when he thought about it, he suddenly raised it, and saw the girl in front of him with a light fur, with a low face, and a lonely expression of frost and snow. His heart softened like this.

"The subordinates don't leave. These four words are loud and clear.

Nalan Jinxiu heard him speak, only then did she come out of her emotions, she looked at him puzzled, and said slowly: "You are quite talented, and you have received excellent training and teaching, if you can go to the battlefield to experience it, it will not be difficult to become famous in the future." ”

"The subordinates are the guards of the county lord, and it is the duty of the subordinates to protect the safety of the county lord. If the group leader insists on letting his subordinates go, it will have to wait until the prince comes back and the military law will deal with it. ”

Where is this, he is her bodyguard every day with a straight face and emotions. She didn't even punish him for the crime of throwing his master's face, how could she let him lead the army and punish him? Why didn't she find out before that Mu Li was such an unreasonable person.

"I don't mean to punish you, I just think that I don't need anyone to protect me in the palace, and it's really a bit condescending to detain you here. Seeing Mu Li frowning, she said again: "You don't have to be afraid, in fact, I think it's normal for you to have emotions." ”

Nalan Jinxiu felt that she was really enough, and sometimes she made the two little girls in the house unhappy, and she wanted to coax her. Now that she has a guard, she is also a tsundere, and she has to coax her. The county lord does his part, and there is probably no one else.

"The subordinates have no emotions, and the subordinates just follow the rules set by the son. ”

"Brother, you are my guard, it's not his turn to take care of it, just listen to me alone. "Nalan Jinxiu is relying on Xu Jince to spoil her, and there are no taboos.

Mu Li felt that it was most normal for the county lord to be so proud and wanton. His heart suddenly relaxed, he saluted again, and said lightly: "My subordinates will go and change their clothes." ”
