The cold air invades the bones, and it looks like the winter solstice is coming.

After noon that day, Zhou Quan brought in two girls, who looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, both wearing green cloth cotton robes, with positive eyebrows and eyes, and their faces were red from the cold.

When they arrived in front of Wei Yining, they both asked for peace, obviously a little restrained.

"Madam, these two girls have been selected to serve by your side." Zhou Quan introduced: "They are all girls from good families in Liangzhou City, and their families originally did some small business, but they were broken by the Tartars, so they came out to work to supplement the family." ”

"What's your two names?" Wei Yining asked kindly.

"The slave is called Lingzhi." The girl with a slightly taller goose egg face said, "It's sixteen this year." ”

"The slave maid is called Futaba." Another maid, who was a little shorter and round-faced, said, "Fifteen soon." ”

"Would you two like to stay here?" Wei Yining asked.

"Willing, willing." The two of them said busily.

Futaba's personality seems to be more extroverted, saying, "A few months ago, the Tartars broke the city, and my sister Shuanghua and I were almost snatched away by them. Our family hid outside for a while, afraid to go home. Later, it was Grandpa Zhong who came, drove the Tartars away and repaired the city wall, and the people returned home one after another. My father and mother all said that Grandpa Zhong is a god descending from heaven, and he can't harm us if he is in Tartar! If I can come to the General's Mansion to serve you, of course I am willing! ”

Although Lingzhi doesn't like to talk much, he has been smiling and seems to have a good personality.

"Alright, you can stay!" Wei Yining nodded with a smile: "Go down and change your clothes first, tell me when you feel homesick, and you can go back to see it at any time." ”

It wasn't dark yet, and Zhong Ye actually went home.

"What did you do today? Stuffy or not? As soon as Zhong Ye entered the door, the two new maids hurriedly stepped forward to take off his cloak for him, but Zhong Ye's mind was on Wei Yining: "Why don't you light the lamp?" Beware of tired eyes. ”

"Just as I was about to ask them to order, my grandfather came back." Wei Yining stepped forward with a smile and brought a bowl of hot tea to Zhong Ye: "Although there is no wind today, it is very cold." Grandpa came back against the wind, let's take a sip of hot tea! ”

"Yes, it's almost the winter solstice, the coldest time of the year," Zhong Ye drank all the tea in the bowl and said, "The soldiers have worked hard for days, let them rest today." ”

"It's rare that Grandpa came back early today, and the weather is cold, I'll cook a bowl of mutton soup for you!" Wei Yining said: "It's just that I haven't done it for a long time, so it's inevitable that I'm a little rusty." ”

"My Yining is so considerate." Zhong Ye pinched Wei Yining's face, revealing a neat and white mouthful of teeth, and did not shy away from the fact that there were maids by his side.

Xiao She'er was used to seeing it, and she didn't feel anything at all, but Lingzhi and Futaba were too ashamed to look at it, so they just pursed their lips and smiled.

Wei Yining went to the kitchen and saw that there was indeed mutton and mutton intestines, which were quite fresh.

It's just that the seasoning is not the same as in the capital, and people in Liangzhou like to put pepper when cooking, because it can dispel the cold.

Wei Yining also tried to put some in the sheep soup, tasted it, and it tasted very good.

By the time dinner was served, it was already dark.

Zhong Ye took a sip of mutton soup and praised it again and again, saying: "The heat and taste are just right, take a sip, and your whole body will be warm." ”

"Where is that exaggerated?" Wei Yining smiled: "It's just not hard to drink." ”

"Come, I'll give you a bowl, and you can taste it too." Zhong Ye said and served Wei Yining a bowl of mutton soup: "The mutton here is a little richer than that in the capital, and the pepper is just right." ”

Wei Yining tasted it carefully, it was indeed true.

The food on the table was not very rich, except for the mutton soup and two other dishes, a bowl of dried carrots with sesame oil and a plate of salted eggs.

Neither of them is extravagant and extravagant, not to mention that they are now in the army.

After eating, the husband and wife finished washing, and the maids retreated.

Wei Yining's hair was scattered, and he looked extraordinarily soft. With her pajamas and white heels, her hands and feet are delicate and lovely, like carved out of mutton fat jade.

After getting into bed, Zhong Ye stretched out his hand and held Wei Yining's two jade feet in his palm.

"After standing on the ground for so long, my feet are a little cold." Zhong Ye said and slowly rubbed Wei Yining's feet.

Wei Yining couldn't help but feel itchy, so he wanted to hide, and said with a smile: "No, my feet have been very hot." ”

"Where is it hot, the ice is dead," Zhong Ye stiffened his face: "I have to see if the rest of your body is so cold, don't get sick." ”

After saying that, he hugged Wei Yining and asked for joy, Wei Yining smiled and refused: "Grandpa, wait, I still have something to discuss with you!" ”

"That's the right thing!" Zhong Ye's face was buried in Wei Yining's neck, he sniffed her body fragrance vigorously, and touched his waist restlessly with his big hand: "Yesterday you said that you were too tired to ride a horse, and I endured it all night." Do you have to wait to get back early today? I don't wait! ”

Wei Yining blushed and begged softly: "Then listen to me first, okay?" I'm waiting for you to help me with my ideas! Just for a moment. ”

"Okay!" Zhong Ye sat up helplessly, rubbing his face a little impetuously, like a big dog that had been bullied.

Wei Yining couldn't bear it in his heart, held his hand and said, "Didn't you say before that you wanted me to find a way to appease the people?" I thought that since the winter solstice was approaching, I might as well take this opportunity to send some cotton cloth and mutton to the families of the elderly and young children. Although there are not many things, they are always a heart. In addition, I want to set up a few medical centers in the city, so that the doctors in the army can take turns to sit in for consultation, and give free medical treatment to the poor and sick people who have no money for medical treatment. Although the weather is cold, it cannot make the people's hearts cold. Neither of these things can fundamentally improve the lives of the people, but they can make people have more confidence in the imperial court. In addition, this money should be taken out of the account of our house, and military salaries must not be used. I don't know if it's okay? ”

"Why not? My Yining has a bodhisattva heart and a vajra method. It's really not enough to love! Zhong Ye lifted Wei Yining up all of a sudden, looked into her eyes and said, "Such a good lady, you must love her more." ”

After finishing speaking, he went to kiss Wei Yining's face, Wei Yining laughed while hiding, but where could he hide.

Zhong Ye propped up his body and caged Wei Yining under him, kissing his hair, and sparing every inch.

Although the two have had many skin-to-skin kisses, Wei Yining is still shy.

He didn't dare to look directly at Zhong Ye, but his eyes were closed, looking a little nervous.

Zhong Ye is full of patience, and melts his wife's body into a puddle of spring water like a warm sun, and in the end, he will naturally give what he wants.

The red silk tent is warm, the brocade is covered with mandarin ducks, and Wei Yining is like a small boat bumping in the choppy sea.

"Manlang, lighter." Wei Yining pleaded softly.

"It's already light," Zhong Ye endured hard, "It can't be lighter." ”

"Hmm......" Wei Yining wanted to cry without tears.
