Xiao Yao drank a large bowl of wine, felt a fire in his throat, and his whole body became hot.

The wine here is not as long and mellow as the wine in the capital, but it is hot and spicy, and drinking it is like burning a knife. It can make your entire internal organs burn, so that you can withstand the cold here.

The news of the capital, Ye 13 also came one after another.

He doesn't care if the emperor has the heart to make him the prince of the country. What he is thinking about is Mingzhu, has he found another suitable person, and is he willing to recruit himself as a colt?

Xiao Yao thought about the pearl in the south of the Yangtze River, she had a really good time in the past two years!

has the pampering of Empress Dowager Zhong, the companion of Zhong Taojiao, Gu Shinian is also there, and she has also found her father, who has been missing for more than ten years, she has a wonderful and comfortable life.

And he is here at this level, living a life at the tip of the knife, and he has long been without the nobility of the son of a family, and the rest is rude.

Xiao Yao touched his rough face, and now he is afraid that he is not as good-looking as Jiangnan Shizi.

However, he asked Mingzhu again in the last letter, and he didn't know how she would answer him.

Now Xiao Yao is just looking forward to this letter day by day, and if he can't reply to the letter for a day, he can't settle down for a day if he doesn't know Mingzhu's intentions.

What Xiao Yao didn't know was that because of the long distance and the wind and snow covering the road, the post soldier who delivered the letter broke his leg again, but in fact, the letter only reached Gu Fanghua's hand.

As soon as Gu Fanghua returned to the room, Xiao Yao's letter arrived.

In the past two years, when Xiao Yao was free, there were more letters. Sometimes it's three to five days, sometimes it's possible a day or two.

In winter, when the border passes are covered with heavy snow, there are fewer letters. Sometimes it is not clear that a letter written in the previous month will arrive at the same time as the letter written in the following month.

After Gu Fanghua freshened up, she leaned back on the bed and slowly opened the letter.

Because of the rain and snow, the letters were wrapped in kraft paper and then placed in bamboo tubes to be delivered thousands of miles. So the letters were very bent, and some of the words were wrinkled.

The letter is relatively thick, with a total of five pages, and the first two pages are Xiao Yao telling Mingzhu about the wind and snow at the border pass. In the bitter cold and barren place, in Xiao Yao's pen, there are more strong bones, which makes Gu Fanghua yearn for it a little.

The next two pages are some trivial events, Xiao Yao babbling about a group of wild wolves outside the gate. They flock to attack not only the flock, but also the crowd.

The leading wolf king was a white wolf, extremely ferocious, and set a trap and broke several people to eliminate this scourge.

But Xiao Yao heard that the teeth of the White Wolf King were the best treasures to ward off evil spirits, so he pried the sharpest one, polished it, and sent it over with the letter.

Gu Fanghua couldn't help laughing, last time he sent a stone the size of a baby's fist, saying that it was a flying stone from the sky, and he saw the stars fall with his own eyes.

Today, I sent another wolf tooth to ward off evil spirits, is it really light and affectionate, or is it that the poor can't send good things?

But laughing and laughing, Gu Fanghua still turned the bamboo tube upside down first, and a sharp wolf tooth lay quietly in Gu Fanghua's palm.

In the middle of the wolf's teeth, I don't know what to use to pierce a small hole.

Could it be that Xiao Yao wants to let himself use it as a necklace and wear it around his neck? Gu Fanghua smiled dumbly, this can't be taken out.

After playing with wolf teeth for a while, Gu Fanghua read the last page of the letter.

There were only a few words, and the handwriting was much more wanton and scribbled than before. Seeing the words as faces, Gu Fanghua can imagine that Xiao Yao's mood was agitated when he put pen to paper.

"Mingzhu, I know that there are many excellent men in Da Zhou, but I still want to ask, if you don't find other suitable ones, are you willing to marry me?

I am now alone, and I have just earned back my lordship, and I hope that I am worthy of you, and that you will still consider me. The mountains and seas swore that no matter how much they do, do I still have a chance? ”

When the word Xiao Yao was signed, the handwriting softened again. Gu Fanghua could think of Xiao Yao's entanglement and excitement when he wrote the letter.

Gu Fanghua covered her face with the letter and laughed silently.

This nerd must not have received his letter yet. They all told him to leave in February, return to Beijing in May and June, and let him return to Beijing at the end of the year to report on his work, is there anything unclear about this?

Gu Fanghua took out the bedside box and held Xiao Yao's thick pile of letters in his hand.

At the beginning, I was really tempted in the bloody battle at Shanhaiguan. And these years of entanglement and separation have melted that love into flesh and blood.

Gu Fanghua thought that this might be the arrangement of fate.

I saved Xiao Yao, and I also found someone to accompany me in this life. Now that everything is on the right track, I should also think about my own life.

Gu Fanghua has already let go of the old dreams, and when she marries Xiao Yao, it will be a completely different life. Gu Fanghua couldn't help but think, what would Xiao Yao look like when he received his letter?

Whether it's ecstatic, or lost, or incredulous. Gu Fanghua was lying on the bed, the quilt was pulled up to cover her face, and she smiled.

For half a month, Xiao Yao watched from the city tower every day.

When he finally saw a figure in the wind and snow from far to near, close enough to see the big "letter" flag on his back, his hands trembled a little with excitement.

Lu Fei knew what Hou Ye was thinking, so he quietly went down and opened the city gate, directly took the letter in his hand, and went up to the city tower to hand it to Xiao Yao.

"Master Hou, it's windy here, let's go home first, right? This is a letter from Jiangnan, it must be a letter from Princess Mingzhu. ”

Xiao Yao held the bamboo tube, put it directly into his arms, turned around and pulled the big tower down.

When the horse returned to the Hou Mansion, he took off his coat and cleaned his hands and face, and then sat down on the kang and took out the letter from his arms.

When he saw the fire paint on the kraft paper, which was already a letter from almost two months ago, Xiao Yao's violently beating heart slowly settled down.

It seems that Mingzhu has not received his own letter at all, so this letter is not a reply.

For a moment, Xiao Yao didn't know whether he was relieved or a little regretful. Anyway, my heart is alternating between hot and cold, and I can't tell the taste.

When he saw Gu Fanghua's handwriting on the envelope, Xiao Yao's heart slowly calmed down.

In the past two years, he has written a lot of letters, but Mingzhu has replied less, sometimes he has three or five letters, and Mingzhu only replies one. Don't talk about old things, don't talk about old feelings, just talk about some customs and customs in the south of the Yangtze River, or interesting and interesting things.

Xiao Yao knew that she was running away, but he didn't dare to urge, he just hoped that she would be happy and forget about those unhappy things.

So when I wrote letters later, I mostly recalled some Jiangnan scenery and told some interesting anecdotes about the border passes. If it weren't for regaining the title and making war exploits, he might not have dared to ask for marriage.

I'm afraid that I have wronged Princess Mingzhu, after all, Mingzhu is someone who can refuse even the crown princess.

Until today, the filial piety period is about to pass, you can talk about marriage, and you have a knighthood, Xiao Yao dares to speak. Today's pearl, will you still choose yourself?
