Su Jiao gently pushed the door in, and saw Yang Ruopei sitting cross-legged on the couch, with a piece of clothing in her hand, her eyes were as if she was looking at her own child, and she was extraordinarily loving.

Su Jiao didn't bother her, so she stood at the door for a while, and then, probably because of the cold wind blowing in from outside the door, alarmed Yang Ruopei, Yang Ruopei turned her head and found that it was Su Jiao who came over, and immediately put down her things temporarily with a smile, tidied up her clothes, and pulled her to the side of the warm seat to sit.

"Although the weather is quite cold these days, but my mother should also go out for a walk and exercise, it is not good to stay in the house all the time, tomorrow is estimated to be a sunny day, why don't I accompany my mother to go out for a walk, we have a layer of ice on the pond, let's knock out a small hole to ice fishing, isn't it much more interesting than staying in the house and making clothes."

The warm seat is still a few steps away from the small couch, and even if Su Jiao's eyes are good, she can't quite see what kind of clothes Yang Ruopei just made.

Yang Ruopei suddenly pursed her lips and smiled, and asked Xiaolian to send two freshly boiled date teas, and asked her and Diecui to burn the two foot stoves together.

"I'm old now, my joints are a little sore everywhere, I can't go far, so I'm not so naughty, and I have to hurry up with this dress in my hand, winter is about to pass, and when spring comes, you can wear it on your body and show me."

"Made it for me?" Su Jiao was stunned and surprised when she heard it, and after subconsciously asking, her heart seemed to be filled with a warm current of spring.

"Yes, I know that your temperament is much calmer now, as someone else's daughter-in-law, you should also dress up a little more steadily, so this time the color choice is a little heavier, and I hope you don't dislike it,"

Yang Ruopei nodded, stroked a blanket covering her knees, turned her head and looked at Su Jiao softly, making Su Jiao shyly squeeze her little hand for a while.

"In addition to yours, I also made a big one for Huai'an, isn't he going out after a while, let him carry it with him, this one is relatively light and thin, much more convenient to carry than those bearskin wolf skins, the weather in Liuzhou should be warmer than ours here, and it also saves him from carrying so much, the burden is too heavy."

"Yes." Su Jiao listened and lowered her head embarrassedly.

Her own needlework is not very good, she has been studying with Yuge for so long, and she can't learn it, and even the gloves have to trouble Yuge to help, thanks to Yang Ruopei's trouble, otherwise Xiao Huai'an's luggage for travel, I'm afraid Su Jiao won't be able to pack it alone.

It's just that it's rare to come over, and I don't remember to bring anything to my mother, but now I want to take the clothes back from my mother's hand, which makes Su Jiao feel very embarrassed.

What's more, Su Jiao really can't guarantee that mentioning Yang Jiajun will make her mother sad.

However, just when Su Jiao was hesitating in her heart, Yang Ruopei's eyes were extremely sharp, and she could see at a glance that Su Jiao must have something on her mind, and after letting Xiaolian put down the foot stove, the whole room was silent for a while, and then she took the initiative to speak.

"Jiao'er, you should not have come here this time just to talk to your mother,"

"At the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner a few days ago, my mother saw that you and Huai'an seemed to have something to worry about, and today I came here for that matter, in this case, you might as well talk to your mother, where your mother can help you, you must help."

When the words landed, Su Jiao's heart was moved. She bit her lower lip and looked at Yang Ruopei with her eyes flashing.

"Mother is really sorry, a good New Year, but I want you to worry about our juniors, this matter, in fact, Huai'an and I don't want to trouble you too much, but if it can be done, Huai'an's action can be much easier,"

Su Jiao swallowed her saliva and paused before continuing, "I'll just mention it to my mother, I don't know if my mother and Yang Jiajun have a relationship now?" ”

The Yang family is only afraid that it will become a lifelong pain in Yang Ruopei's heart, and sure enough, as soon as Su Jiao asked, Yang Ruopei's expression was instantaneous. drooped, and the whole person was silent, quite a bit.

But no matter how much the mother thinks about the happiness of her children? Yang Ruopei has been saving his kung fu for a long time! As a last resort, please sigh softly.

"I know, I can contact Yang Jiajun, you can also accompany Huai'an more during this time, and when Huai'an goes to Liuzhou, I don't know how much time it will take to come back, and my mother will contact her in two days, and I will let Xiaolian send her interest to Huai'an."

"Thank you, Mother." Su Jiao snorted, Yang Ruopei's words had already moved her, and she didn't know what to say, and at this moment, listening to the helpless tone in Yang Ruopei's words, she was even more embarrassed to say that she would leave.

She stood up, squatted beside Yang Ruopei around the table, and leaned her head on Yang Ruopei's knee very well.

"But it's rare for me to come to see my mother today, I won't go back, as long as my mother doesn't dislike me, it's okay for our mother and daughter to sleep and talk together, it's warmer, what does my mother think?"

"Okay." Yang Ruopei was helpless, but she was still very happy that her daughter had grown up so big and was so attached to herself, so she agreed without thinking about it.

So tonight, Su Jiao never went back.

In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Huai'an got up early in the morning according to his daily habits, but when he finished packing up and preparing to go to court, his face looked not very happy.

On this day, two or three days have passed since the emperor fell into a coma that day, and the news from the palace that the emperor has awakened. It's just that the body is still a little inconvenient, so the morning court was temporarily canceled.

But the affairs of Liuzhou could not be ignored, so the emperor still issued an order to the military department Shangshu Ma Ge and Xiao Huai'an, asking Xiao Huai'an to prepare to coordinate the army in the next few days and set off for Liuzhou.

However, it is said that Xiao Huai'an is allowed to coordinate the army, and the deployment of troops still has to be approved by Ma Ge.

When Xiao Huai'an went to the outskirts of the city to count the sergeants in the morning, Dian Tao, a lieutenant under the command of Shangshu of the Ministry of War, heard the news of Xiao Huai'an's coming, and took the initiative to gather all the soldiers from various departments to ask Xiao Huai'an for instructions.

"See Your Highness, your subordinates are the generals of the Ma Shang Shu Department, and the captain of the Xiao Cavalry School, now all the soldiers of the seventy-two battalions have been assembled, please show your Highness."

Xiao Huai'an listened, and glanced at him lightly, Dian Tao's high work efficiency will be particularly popular anywhere, but this person is Ma Ge's subordinate, so he has to be careful.

Xiao Huai'an pondered carefully in his heart for a moment, and raised his eyes to Shang Diantao's sincere gaze, but he was not in a hurry to inspect the various camps, but just asked Liang Xin to do it for him, and made a move by himself, asking Dian Tao to accompany him to the side to talk.

"The next door calls me so that I arrived at the barracks, let's just call me above and below, the matter of the inspection is not in a hurry for the time being, Liang Xin will run for me, as for you, the captain, you will accompany me first, where is your fire head camp, take me over first."

The so-called march and war, food and grass go first, if you can't let the soldiers have enough to eat, who will be willing to die for you.

So Xiao Huai'an's decision is understandable, and Dian Tao didn't notice anything strange, and took the initiative to take the responsibility of leading the way.

"Yes, my lord is wise, in fact, our seventy-two battalion of the fire head battalion is the least to worry about, our food here is definitely the best in the world, even our soldiers in charge of the spoon can not only go into battle, but also cook dishes comparable to the restaurant chefs in the city, I don't know if you want to taste it."

"No need, I'm not here to eat."

When the words landed, Xiao Huai'an unconsciously narrowed his eyes, if Dian Tao didn't brag about his food excessively, maybe it wouldn't arouse his suspicions.

It's just that the army's big pot of rice is boasted like this, and it is really difficult for Xiao Huai'an to wonder if Ma Ge takes extra care of the 72nd Battalion, and Dian Tao's loyalty to Ma Ge is also deeper.

But hearing is false, seeing is believing, what is Dian Tao, he can't make up his mind, Xiao Huai'an just silently wrote it down in his heart, but there was no expression on his face.

He calmly followed Dian Tao to the Huotou Camp, but found that the layout and food here were not much different from those of other troops.

Because the cooks are all men, the chopping boards and wooden tables will look a little pitiful when they are chopped with kitchen knives, but the places are still very clean.

The sacks piled up on the ground were just some ordinary vegetables, such as Chinese cabbage, sweet potatoes, and some ordinary rice, and there was nothing special about it. Even the spice jar is just salt and a few simple spices.

Xiao Huai'an briefly read it, it was not time to eat yet, but he should start to prepare, but now several men in the Huotou camp were also training with a nearby company, and they did not slack off at all.

Such a degree of training made Xiao Huaian a little surprised.

"Didn't you just say that your food here is much better than elsewhere, I thought it was because the preparation work was more laborious than others, but I didn't expect that the training was more hard than in other places."

Xiao Huai nodded quietly, and it became more and more pity that if Dian Tao was really from his side, he might be a strong opponent in the future.

Dian Tao stood aside proudly and laughed, looking at the soldiers who were training against the sun and the cold wind, his spine was also very straight.

"Adults don't know, although there are only these few people in our gang's leading camp, if you really want to eat, there are more than these few people who can do it, everyone works hard, and naturally they will not dislike the food in the bowl."

As he spoke, Dian Tao paused, and his tone became extraordinarily long, Xiao Huai'an calmed down and waited quietly for him to have something to say later.
