Han Yi was eventually sentenced to confiscation for manslaughter, and there were four popular locations for conscription in the Tang Dynasty: Fengzhou (Tiandejun), Yizhou, Fangzhou (Fangxian) and Yazhou. Yizhou had fallen into the hands of Tibet, and the remaining three places were determined by the distance and the identity and physical condition of the exiles, and Han Yi was sentenced to exile to Fengzhou.

Han Si came from a small lonely mountain to see off his brother, killing people to pay off debts and paying off debts, in the eyes of the Han brothers, it is a matter of course, since they killed people, it was already cheap to be sentenced to be confiscated, Han Si didn't think about it at all to investigate the real evil who instigated his brother to go to the point of no return.

Li Mao didn't dare to point out that Han Yi was a stunned young man, he ******** defend Su Cheng, and would rather die than bite Su Cheng, plus Chengwu County maintained the Su family from top to bottom, Li Mao felt that he was weak, so he could only endure it.

On the day when Han Yi was in the army, Han Si cooked two fatty fish and scalded a pot of wine to see off his brother, because he had no money to enter the prison door, he had no choice but to beg Li Mao for help, Li Mao sent Han Si into the stinky prison, and he didn't dare to stay longer and retreated.

Han Si watched his brother eat wine and dinner, wiped his tears and came out, his eyes were red, and when he saw Li Mao, he was about to kneel down and thank him, Li Mao was willing to help him up. Han Si said with tears in his eyes: "My brother is confused, he was instigated by others to go to a dead end, thanks to the maintenance of the gold envoy, so that our brothers saw the last time, great kindness, and I dare not forget it for the rest of my life." After speaking, despite Li Mao's dissuasion, he insisted on kowtowing to Li Mao a few times, and then wiped his tears and left.

When Li Mao first saw him a month ago, he was still a strong man, but at this moment, he was hunched over his chest and needed to walk on crutches, and his legs were dragging on the ground, as if he weighed a thousand catties.

Li Mao hit the jujube tree beside him with a heavy punch, the trunk trembled violently, and the last few dead leaves on the branches fell flutteringly, this punch broke the bandaged wound, blood leached out of the gauze and flowed out, Li Mao was depressed and didn't realize it. The careful Qin Niang was shocked to find that the gauze wrapped around Li Mao's hands was soaked in blood, and despite Li Mao's repeated shouts, she insisted on going out in the rain and invited Lang Zhong to her home to re-wrap the gauze for him.

Sending Lang Zhong away, Qin Niang sighed: "I know you feel uncomfortable, and it is sad for anyone to be sad about such a thing, but no matter how uncomfortable it is, it shouldn't spoil your body." Da Lang has often sighed recently, saying that it is difficult to be an official in Chengwu County, the big families stretch their hands too long, and the yamen is full of their people, and they are hindered everywhere, and everything is not smooth. ”

Li Mao said: "Did Da Lang have any intention of retreating? ”

Qin Niang knelt in front of Li Mao, held his hand, raised her head and asked with a smile: "Have you retreated?" Li Mao said: "To be honest, I am indeed a little impatient, but I am really unwilling to leave like this." I'm going to stay and fight them. ”

Qin Niang smiled: "Da Lang is also thinking about this, he wants to leave, and he is unwilling." Brother Mao, how are you going to fight them? Beat him to the shrews with your iron fists. ”

Li Mao's bones were crispy when he called "Brother Mao", and he stretched out his hand to help Qinniang: "Get up, it's cold on the ground, pay attention to a typhoid leg." Qin Niang stood up, lowered her head and hesitated, and suddenly sat sideways on Li Mao's lap. This is the first time in the world, Li Mao was so nervous that he couldn't even get out of his breath, although he and Qin Niang had their names predetermined, but the essence has not progressed, is she urging herself to speed up the pace, but she is only sixteen years old when she turns the New Year, is it too young......

When Li Mao was thinking nonsense, Qin Niang had already covered her face and fled. Sitting on her man's lap is a new invention of Webster's recently, and whenever Xue Rong has troubles, she sits on her husband's lap to solve it, and the effect is very good. Xue Rong frowned again, after she sat like this, the clouds were light and the wind was light, and the sky was clear.

She wanted to replicate Webster's successful experience and go to the clouds on Brother Mao's face, she mustered up the courage to do it, but the effect was average. "I didn't expect it to be so awkward, it's so embarrassing." Qin Niang rubbed her red and hot cheeks, fled back to her room, bolted the door, and lay on the bed, still listening to her heart beating wildly for a long time.

Qin Niang left, Li Mao touched the thigh she had just sat on, and her heart felt like a lightning bolt, numb and crispy, itchy and dry.

After arriving in Chengwu County, the house suddenly became spacious, Li Mao set up a study in the west wing, bought a table and paper, ink, pen and inkstone, and collected two volumes of books to put on the façade, and at the same time placed a bed in a corner of the study, purchased a complete set of bedding, usually covered with a movable screen, and put away the screen to rest when it was in use. There are all kinds of daily necessities in the formal bedroom, but they are furnishings, Li Mao is not sleeping there, and Qin Niang is not there.

This night, Li Mao walked to the opposite room by surprise and sat on the soft goose feather futon in a daze. He didn't light the lamp, but Qin Niang brought the lamp and candle, and with the light, the whole room was full of warmth and ambiguity. As usual, Qin Niang boiled hot water under the stove and walked in with a heavy wooden basin, her cheeks were still red, I don't know if it was because of the embarrassment just now, or because she was roasted during the fire. She knelt on the ground as usual, removed boots and socks for Li Mao, pressed his feet in the basin, and rubbed them carefully with a linen towel, which was naturally a pleasure for Li Mao's feet, but it was a torment for Li Mao's heart, he urged Qin Niang to get up several times, but Qin Niang turned a deaf ear.

This girl is so strong that it is difficult to pull back ten cows, so Li Mao has to learn to be obedient and cooperate more, so that she can fulfill her obligations as a concubine as soon as possible. Qin Niang took the wooden basin, and when she came back, she took Li Mao's boots, saying that there was a smell of sweat and she wanted to take them to the yard to breathe. The chores at home, Qin Niang has never let Li Mao interfere, such as checking the door before going to bed, which should be done by men in Li Mao's opinion, Qin Niang also stopped her, she decided that if these chores were taken by the laborer, it would be a dereliction of duty to be a concubine.

Without boots, Li Mao couldn't go anywhere, so he had to sit on the bed to warm the quilt first.

The bedding on the bed was originally filled with golden silk grass, which is a kind of soft and slightly fragrant weed that is abundant in the local area, which can be made into bedding by drying and beating soft, and it is very thick in winter in order to keep the bedding warm, which is very inconvenient. Now the futon is filled with goose down that Li Mao bought from Su Xiaodu, which is light and warm. This great invention made Qin Niang excited for a long time, and praised Li Mao as a saint. Li Mao was amused in his heart, what a goose down quilt was, he still had many shocking "inventions" waiting for the time to come out, naturally where the "inspiration" for these inventions came from could not be told to Qin Niang, so as not to scare her.

Qin Niang was done, bolted the door, blew the lamp and sat on the bed, and after hearing the sound of Suosuo, she got into the bed.

The quilt was hot, and Qin Niang walked in with a bowl of soothing soup. Xue Rong has to drink a bowl of soothing soup every night before going to bed, it is said that in this way he can sleep peacefully, Qin Niang also prepared a bowl for Li Mao according to the gourd painting scoop, but he didn't know that the bowl of soup prepared by Wei for Xue Rong was used to replenish water after the fierce exchange between men and women. Lowered her eyebrows and put down the tea, and was about to quit, but Li Mao held her hand, Qin Niang did not struggle, and sat on the edge of the bed obediently, still with her head down.

Li Mao let go of his hot quilt, turned to the other side of the bed, and blew out the light by the way. In the dark, Qin Niang fumbled and took off her clothes, silently burrowed into the hot quilt, she wrapped her arms tightly around her body, curled up her legs and feet, and trembled nervously. Li Mao sat up and drank the soothing soup, and covered the futon for Qin Niang, so that he could sleep with peace of mind.

In the first half of the night, no one was sleepy, no one spoke, after some temptation, Qin Niang and Li Mao had a tacit understanding, they shared a bed, each slept on their own territory, where the boundary was very clear to each other, although there was no boundary monument, but no one would cross the line.

Another cold night, Qin Niang was determined to break this tacit understanding, she shook her head for a while, and suddenly crossed the border and hugged Li Mao's feet in her arms. In winter, my feet are afraid that they are the most difficult part to heat up, although the quilt is already warm, Li Mao's feet are still like two pieces of ice, and it is naturally very comfortable to be held by her so hot, but how can Li Mao bear it? He hurriedly pulled back, and Qin Niang hugged him tightly.

Li Mao smiled, and also reached out to touch Qinniang's feet, but she curled up like a shrimp, Li Mao could barely touch her little feet, but he didn't want to pull it in his arms.

"Don't touch me."

Qin Niang warned softly, Li Mao was stunned for a moment, and retracted her hand in a proper manner, but the next moment Qin Niang took the initiative to stretch her legs and feet over, and Bing Jinjin stuffed them into Li Mao's armpits.

Li Mao remembered her warning, did not touch her, just put his arms flat, palms down, and silently created a harbor for her to shelter from the wind and cold.
