Chapter 45: Spring Has Arrived

In early spring and February, the spring is cold, but the peach buds on the branches have been vomited, and the grass on the ground has sprouted pale green sprouts.

The flat yard exudes a strong smell of food. The guards carried all the grain from the storehouse to the yard, and turned the rice barefoot and with wooden shovels.

Yang Ling was busy for a while, and when he saw that the grain was evenly distributed, he put on his shoes and walked out of the post office. His work is very light now, Ji Mingyi has just fought a war, and he has no reception tasks except for some letters. However, under the rule of Jinyiwei, secret information is endless.

Judging from the situation reflected in the intelligence, the tribes on the grassland are also constantly in dispute, and when they join forces to raid the border city of Daming, they are like a group of robbers who cooperate with each other to cooperate tacitly. Once you retreat back, you will have a big dislike for each other because of the uneven distribution of dirt. The Tatar tribes often fought against each other, as well as with other ethnic groups.

It is said that some small tribes of Jurchen, Xifan, and Tatar tribes were lonely, and although they also participated in the plunder, as a result, they suffered heavy losses of men and horses, but they were allocated the least amount of property, and after this war, life was even more difficult, and there was no iron pot for cooking, no salt for cooking, and no neat clothes. However, at this time, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the nomadic life that the herdsmen rely on for their livelihood is about to begin, and they are not afraid that they will attack the Ming Dynasty in this season.

The Min County Commander has already gone to Haining to take office, and Bi Dusi has recently said that he will also return to Jiangnan. As for Han Lin's father and son, they originally had no land and were hunters in the mountains. In the first battle of Jimingyi, nearly thirty percent of the post soldiers were killed and wounded, and there was a shortage of manpower, so Yang Ling simply arranged the old man and the eldest brother into the post office. As for his brother-in-law Han Mancang, although he was arguing to be a post officer, even if he falsely reported his age, his baby face was too obvious, so he had to give up.

After Yang Ling's efforts and the assistance of Huang Xiancheng and Wang Zhushu, the scandal of 'Yang Yi Chengxue accompanied a beautiful woman at night, a fair and fair woman' that circulated in the yamen was finally controlled and did not spread to the people and the army.

Yang Ling thought about it for a while, Ma Li'er's heart faded, and this matter was revealed, who expected that Han Youniang didn't know if it was because the two were the same age, or because Ma Li'er was the only female companion living in the post office, and within a few days of moving to the post office, she was very familiar with Ma Li'er.

Although Ma Li'er avoided Yang Ling, her relationship with Han Youniang became closer and closer, Yang Ling accidentally saw her once two days ago, and it was only a little more than a month, Ma Li'er's cheeks were getting thinner and thinner, her chin was getting sharper and sharper, her eyes were getting bigger and bigger, but the look in her eyes was getting less and less.

Yang Ling didn't know whether to feel distressed or guilty when he saw it, he could only order people to take care of their lives as much as possible within his own ability, and there was only so much he could do. Her life is too short, Ma Li'er still has a choice, with her appearance, there is no doubt that she can find a husband who dotes on her and loves her and accepts her? That's too selfish, to accept her vilely without her knowledge, is that loving her or hurting her? That would be so unfair to her.

For the young lady, he thought about it seriously, he figured it out, from the moment he opened his eyes, the young lady was destined to be his person, these understandings, he knew that the young lady was a very traditional, very simple girl, even if she was completely unfamiliar with her husband at the beginning, and when she didn't have any feelings, she was determined to keep the festival for him for a lifetime, not to mention that there is such a strong affection between them now?

My own self-righteous ideas at the beginning simply don't work. If he spends two years with his young mother like this like family and love, he will definitely start a new cycle with deep regret. And what about young girls? All she left behind was endless sadness and more thoughts.

In that case, why not let each other spend two happy and sweet years together? If he could leave her a crystallization of love, Yang Ling's eyes moistened, as a husband and father, as long as he thought about it, the heavy sense of responsibility and accomplishment made him excited.

Although life is short, but our common life is as colorful, if there is a little baby, even if the young mother loses herself, she can have some sustenance, she can live bravely, and their common child will still bring her joy and happiness.

But when he made up his mind to make that thrilling decision, the damn lie got in the way. What do you say to the young lady? Even if the young lady has always been obedient to him, I am afraid that when it comes to his life and death, the little girl will unequivocally rather hang herself than chuang, do you want to play forcible annihilation? Hey, let's think about it when I can beat her.

Yang Ling touched his chin and smiled bitterly, his original surname was frivolous, but since he met the young lady, he has become more and more calm and steady, and he is not like himself.

Yang Ling thought about the young lady as he walked, sometimes smiling at the corners of his lips, sometimes frowning. By the small river outside the east city, the river water has completely melted, and the clear river water is running happily, and when I probe it with my hands, the water is still cold to the bone, but it can no longer stand it.

He felt that his body was obviously much stronger recently, and the medicinal wine brewed by his father-in-law was really good, I don't know if it was the secret recipe of the Shaolin Temple monks, and his father-in-law didn't say it when he asked, only said that this wine was soaked with mountain herbs, and the function was to strengthen the source and strengthen the body.

Not to mention, this medicinal wine is really authentic, the first time he drank it, he didn't know the strength of the medicine, he drank three cups in a row, and that night it was comfortable, and the hot eyes on the back of his waist and eyes were like two hot water bags, that is, he was too full of energy, and he didn't fall asleep until half the night. Now every day at dinner, the young lady makes him a cup, and the more Yang Ling drinks, the more energetic he becomes.

A little daughter-in-law carrying a basket jumped lightly over the rocks on the river, and when she saw a young man standing by the river looking at her, she couldn't help but shyly float past him, and when she was glanced at by his bright eyes, her small waist would not twist for a while.

Yang Ling's eyes chased her youthful and toned delicate body out of the distance, only to be blown awake by a gust of wind. He slapped himself in the face: Damn, what's going on lately? Why do you always like to stare at beautiful women, spring is coming, is it impossible for people to be angry?

Yang Ling looked at a water nest in front of him, and was planning to get a fishing rod to kill time, when he suddenly heard a crisp call: "Xianggong, are you waiting for us to come back?" ”

Yang Ling raised his head when he heard the sound, and saw Han Youniang and Ma Li'er walking along the mountain path prettyly, Han Youniang was carrying a flat basket in the crook of her left arm, and her right hand was shaking a brilliant Yingshan red, smiling like a flower, and beautiful like a mountain spring down a stream. Ma Li'er was by her side, dressed in white and snowy, graceful and tingting, and charming everywhere.

The two of them had just come back from picking wild vegetables in the mountains, and suddenly saw Yang Ling standing by the river, Han Youniang was overjoyed and walked up quickly. Ma Li'er chased after two steps, but slowed down again, chewing Han Youniang's words carefully: "Xianggong, are you waiting for me~~ to come back?" ”

Han Youniang is interested in getting close, Ma Li'er is smart and icing, how can she not know in her heart? She only said that Yang Ling arranged for the young lady to take care of herself, but now she feels more and more that Han Youniang seems to be deliberately promoting herself and Yang Ling, is she really willing to let herself enter the Yang family?

Ma Li'er couldn't help but pound when she thought of this possibility, she knew too well the position of the young lady in Yang Ling's heart, if she was willing to nod, then there was great hope for this matter. I'm so stupid, Yang Ling's nerd can't go through the road, why can't he think of pleasing the young lady, if he is really a sister in the future, he also needs her to be recognized and close, even so, he should get along with her now.

Han Youniang didn't notice her own language disease, she ran to Yang Ling's side with a smile, raised the basket with treasure and said: "Xianggong, I picked a lot of wild vegetables, you see, cat ears, shepherd's cabbage, rattle grass, and also, you see, is this sour pulp big?" I'll wash you and taste it, it's delicious."

Han Youniang happily put down the basket, picked out a branch of the thickest and largest sour pulp, and ran to the river to wash it. At this time, Ma Li'er also came over and smiled unnaturally at Yang Ling.

Yang Ling looked at her, Ma Li'er was dressed in white, dressed much more plainly than before, and the soft sunlight of spring reflected on her delicate and smooth face, as if transparent. On the slender waist, the pale green belt was blown up by the mountain wind, as if it was gently pulled, and the jade body was to be crossed. The corners of Yang Ling's mouth crooked: What's wrong with me lately? How do you think about the crooked path?

After more than a month, Ma Li'er has not changed much, there are fine hairs on her lips, and she is still a childish girl, but the experience and maturity of her mood have made her reborn, like a hazy and weak peony.

"She's getting too thin!"

"He's getting stronger!"

Ma Li'er is really like the young lady said, with a pointed chin, big eyes, and that melon seed face is about to catch up with the vixen in the cartoon, thin and pale, a little exaggerated. And Yang Ling, who was originally a gentleman, was full of books and a bit weak. Now his waist was straighter, his eyes darker and brighter, and his eyebrows were heroic.

Now he is wearing a green shirt, with red lips and white teeth, and eyes like a star, just like a beautiful son. The cheeks, which had been too pale, also turned rosy. When it comes to red, it's really red, well, it's too red!

Yang Ling felt a chill at the end of his nose, and wiped it with his hand, it turned out to be blood on his hand, uh...... Too inferior, right? Recently, he felt that his nose was old and dry, and he thought that it was because the fire was still burning at home, or because the climate was dry in spring, but now he saw that people had nosebleeds, which is not easy to explain.

He raised his hand in embarrassment, the blood was still flowing, it had already overflowed his mouth, so he didn't dare to open his mouth. Ma Li'er shouted in panic: "Brother Yang, you are bleeding."

Yang Ling rolled his eyes helplessly, isn't this the same as not saying? Han Youniang looked up, couldn't help but panic, and hurriedly ran over and said, "What's wrong?" Hurry up, raise your head quickly", she said and gently patted Yang Ling's forehead with her watery hand.

Yang Ling raised his head, the sky was so blue, the white clouds were rolling, like a silk curtain, reading the world and the world Yang Ling was speechless and asked the sky, his hand was suddenly stuffed into a soft thing, pinched, it was a handkerchief, Yang Ling was busy blocking his nose, wiping blood. The handkerchief is white, with a faint fragrance.

This is not the taste of the young lady, the young lady is the kind of fragrance as light as jasmine, and this is a kind of fragrance with a very high quality, Yang Ling's heart moved: "This is a pity thing."

The bleeding stopped, and under the concerned gaze of the two little beauties, Yang Ling ran to the river in embarrassment and washed his face with water. Ma Li'er and Han Youniang looked at Yang Ling, and then at each other, and they both looked away with a weak heart.

Ma Li'er bit her lip, a little weak, some wanted to laugh, and some proud, after a month of separation, I couldn't imagine that meeting again would be such a scene, he would actually be angry when he saw himself.

Han Youniang looked at Yang Ling nervously, and said in her heart: "It's bad, my father said that this medicinal wine prepared with ginseng, tiger bones, deer antlers, and wolfberries is to nourish the body, but the medicine is too strong, and the foundation of Xianggong's body is weak, so you should drink it carefully." But I see that my husband loves to drink, and I pour more every day, but I can't think of it...... If you really can't make up for it, you won't be fine, right? ”

Peeking at Ma Li'er's eyes flickering and glancing at Xianggong, Han Youniang secretly thought: My brother didn't talk nonsense, Sister Li'er really has affection for Xianggong. The words that the little brother Man Cang'er told her came to her ears again: "Sister, let me tell you, we rescued my brother-in-law in the mountains, and he is kissing the beautiful sister who lives in the post office, Sister Oh Li'er." ”

Han Youniang sighed lightly, and remembered what her father told her: "Young lady, the husband has a husband, the woman has a woman's virtue, have you forgotten what Mr. taught?" Jealous of a wife! Look at how a pampered and proud woman from ancient times to the present has a good end?

Our Ming law stipulates that forty childless concubines can be accepted, but those are ordinary people, and those who are officials are not in this case, and my uncle has a great future. Children, there are many women in this dynasty who take the initiative to take concubines for their husbands, who doesn't say that she is virtuous and generous, you don't want to leave a reputation of jealousy, then the gains outweigh the losses.

Our family is from a humble background, you can marry Xiucaigong, it is because I saved the life of Master Yang from the tiger's mouth back then, so I set this family, you have this blessing, look at who in our village is not envious?

As long as you serve your husband wholeheartedly and give birth to incense for the Yang family, even if his Miss Ma family is more beautiful than you and has a better background than you, your seat is also thunderous, and no one wants to snatch it.

It's not okay to be jealous, in my opinion, since my uncle also likes Miss Ma, you might as well take the initiative to help her, and it will be easy to get along with you if you become sisters in the future, and your uncle will only respect you more, isn't it good for you? ”

Han Youniang sighed secretly, who is a wife who does not expect her husband to get ahead, but if her husband has a career, he is a master, "repentant husband and wife are properly sealed", people have gains and losses.
