After thinking about it, she stepped forward and pulled Cuihua into the house, fetched water for her to wash her face, and combed her hair with her own hands, casually explaining her life experience and the entanglement with the child's father.

Cuihua was still crying and crying before, but in the end, she was filled with righteous indignation, clenched her fists and shouted, "How can this man be like this?!" Leaving his daughter-in-law and children and leaving, how could he be reluctant? Sister Lan, if he comes back to you in the future, you must not forgive him! ”

Ye Lan was funny, but subconsciously defended the man, "I also have something wrong, hiding his background, he ...... Xu still has important things to do, so it's too late to explain to me. ”

Cuihua's sympathy was overflowing, she turned around and hugged Ye Lan's waist, and choked up: "Sister Lan, I didn't know that you were so pitiful with Tuan Reunion, and I would ...... in the future I'm not going to rob you anymore. ”

"Haha!" Ye Lan listened to it funny, and her heart was warmer. She turned the scheming girl around, made her look at herself in the mirror, and praised: "Cuihua, look at your appearance, what a beautiful girl, you deserve the best man in the world, your mountain brother is probably taking care of our mother and son, and I have someone in my heart, even if we live in the same yard for a lifetime, we can only be brothers and sisters." So, you have to have faith, as long as you hold on, he will always be tempted one day. ”

"Really?" Cuihua looked at herself in this mirror, although her skin was not fair, but her wheat-colored skin was sunburned by daily work, very healthy, her eyes were bright, and she had combed a beautiful and delicate braid, no matter how she looked at it, she was much more beautiful than before.

"Of course, since you call me a sister, so be it, I'll help you again." Ye Lan hurriedly gave the girl a reassuring pill, "The reunion is getting bigger, I have to stay at home to take care of the children, there is a shortage of people to help in the shop, why don't you go back and discuss it with the family, come to the shop to help, and give you a salary of 500 wen a month, okay?" ”

"Oh, can I go to the shop and help?" Cuihua stood up immediately, although she liked Shanzi for a long time, and most of the people in the village also knew her thoughts, but after all, it was a girl's family, and it was not good to walk around in front of the Hu family every day, but it would be great if she went to help in the shop, and she could enter and exit the Hu family justifiably, and get along with her for a long time, she didn't believe that Brother Shan would not find her good!

"Then I'll go back and talk to my father!" She couldn't bear it for a while, so she threw down a sentence and ran out.

Ye Lan looked at the two flickering courtyard doors and couldn't help but smile again. She really hopes that Cuihua and Shanzi can be together, one is straightforward and spicy, the other is silent and steady, which can be described as the best husband and wife combination, but fate can't be forced, whether they can be together depends on their creation.

Not to mention how Cuihua tossed with her parents, she finally got a one-year deadline and successfully entered the Hu Po Cake Shop, intending to impress Shanzi's iron heart, only to say that the Northern Expedition Army, which carried the expectations of all the people of the Jinghai Empire, walked on the road day after day, and the exhaustion and loneliness of leaving home made many recruits miserable, and even faintly regretted.

Fortunately, this night the army was encamped early, the dinner sent by the head of the army was also a lot of oil and water, a group of soldiers were full of food and drink and lay in the tent to gossip, the leader of the ten is a veteran, take the opportunity to enlighten these recruits, when he first talked about the young children peeking at the village widow bathing, provoked the recruits to laugh and then this said that there are wild things on the mountain at home, and that talk about how delicious the pheasant stewed by the old lady at home is, all saliva is flying, which greatly alleviates the homesickness.

Speaking of the rise place, the people who were already familiar with each other had no barriers, and made jokes, one of them shouted: "Li San is stunned, you steal something every night, squeaky like a mouse knocking a wooden box, and the taste is very fragrant, which makes our brothers hungry." You have to show everyone what you say today, otherwise don't blame the brothers for robbing it. ”

"That's, that's it, this kid is shrewd, he doesn't even drop a scum, and it makes Lao Tzu's heart itch like a cat scratching."

Li San was stunned to see that everyone really surrounded him, for fear that everyone would knock him down and rummage through it, although he was reluctant to leave the two shortbreads that he had finally left, but it was not good for the bag on his waist to be found, after all, there are rules in the army, no private things are allowed, this article was originally to restrain everyone from plundering the spoils, if he said that the things in the bag were brought by the family, someone had to believe it.

Thinking like this, he hurriedly begged for mercy, carefully took out an oily paper bag from his arms, smacked his mouth, and said very reluctantly: "When I came out, I brought some dry food from home, and now there are only two left, brothers divide one point, let it taste fresh." ”

As soon as everyone heard him say this, where was they polite, the ten-captain reached out and took the oil paper bag and opened it.

By the light of the day, which was not yet dark outside, everyone could see very clearly that there were two palm-sized cakes wrapped in the oil paper, fried to golden brown, and there was a sweet fragrance when they looked down and smelled, but after putting it in their arms for a long time, the cake was crushed into fine pieces.

The ten-captain immediately divided a piece of everyone, and everyone chewed it, and they all felt a little unpleasant after swallowing, and they all shouted: "What kind of cake is this?" It's delicious! ”

"yes, it's even better than the dim sum made in the dim sum shop."

"I haven't tasted anything yet, so hurry up and give me another piece!"

Li San was stunned but reluctant, and shouted while reaching out to grab the oil paper bag in the hand of the tenth master: "No, there is only this one left, you can keep it for me, I still want to think about it!" ”

Where did everyone agree, hugging their waists, pulling their legs, laughing and frolicking with him.

At this time, someone suddenly picked up the tent curtain and walked in, and scolded: "What is the noise, I want to be beaten with a military stick!" ”

Everyone turned their heads and looked at them in fright, it turned out that Zuo Yuanhao took a few generals to inspect the barracks, and just walked outside the camp tent, and heard the noise inside, thinking that everyone was fighting, so they came in to take a look.

The ten-captain was a kind-hearted man, and he was a little protective, so he hurriedly squeezed to the front, faintly blocked the recruits behind him, and saluted respectfully: "Tell the marshal and the generals, the little ones are not fighting, they are just playing." ”

The general who scolded him earlier glanced at everyone and said, "Is it really just a joke?" ”

"Of course it's true, don't dare to deceive the marshal and the general. A little brother brought some food from home, and the brothers saw the freshness and shouted to taste it, and then there was a commotion. As he spoke, he stepped out of the way, revealing the oiled paper bag in Li San's hand.

Several generals saw it clearly, so their faces eased, and one of them turned around and said, "Marshal, it looks like the soldiers are really playing around, let's go for a walk elsewhere?" ”

I don't want to, but Zuo Yuanhao stared straight at the shortbread in Li Sanshuang's hand, and refused to move it for a moment, causing Li Sanshuang to secretly glance at this handsome man who was not as beautiful as a man, and muttered in his heart, isn't he a prince? The emperor's own brother, who has never eaten any delicious food, is he as greedy for his shortbread as his brothers?

"Where did you get this bread?" Zuo Yuanhao came back to his senses and asked.

Several generals and everyone in the tent were stunned when they heard this, and they didn't know why the marshal suddenly became interested in this little cake?

Li San scratched the back of his head, and after thinking about it, he felt that there was nothing he couldn't tell, so he said: "This is the dry food made by the old man in our village, and the one that I ate on the road was left, and there were only two left. Well, if you want to try it, you can take it. ”

"Stupid!" As soon as he finished speaking, the others were still doing anything, but the ten-captain was so anxious that he slapped him on the head. This local boy really doesn't understand the rules at all, the army is fighting outside, and the commander's diet is strictly guarded, otherwise the enemy will send someone to poison, wouldn't it be a victory without blood.

But without waiting for him to say anything, Zuo Yuanhao reached out and took Li San's oiled paper bag, and ordered the guards beside him, "Bring Ben Shuai's dinner for the evening to this little brother." ”

Li San was stunned and hurriedly waved his hand and refused: "It's just a cake, if you want to eat it, you can take it, and I can eat it again when I go back to ......the village in the future."

Zuo Yuanhao smiled slightly, shook his head, turned around and walked out.

No matter how many doubts the generals had in their hearts, they couldn't ask questions, so they hurriedly caught up and continued to patrol the camp.

The soldiers who were left in the tent were silent for a long time, and then they started to talk loudly.

"Isn't our handsome prince a prince, and he is actually hungry for cakes?"

"What nonsense, maybe the handsome brocade clothes and jade are used to eating, and suddenly see such a novel food, and want to taste it?"

"I don't think so, did you see that? Da Shuai actually smiled just now, it's so good-looking, no wonder there are legends in the capital that when he saw the six princes, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she blushes. ”

"Shut up, you don't want to die, listen to those nonsense, our Dashuai's throne was earned back with real military exploits, Lao Tzu and Dashuai killed the enemy side by side, and there were not 1,000 people who died under Dashuai."

Ten Masters was afraid that these recruits would be not deep or shallow, and they would cause trouble on their lips, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to scold, and then led everyone to guess what good food the guards would bring over.

As a result, when the guards brought the marshal's meal, everyone was disappointed and emotional, it turned out that the marshal of the first army and the prince of Chaopin, the dinner was just a bowl of shredded meat noodles, and they thought that there would be at least a dozen plates of chicken, duck and fish.

However, this bowl of noodles was distributed by the ten-captain to each of the recruits to eat a bite, but everyone felt that the taste was more delicious than the shortbread that Li Sanxuan had taken out. A commander who can put down his dignity and endure hardships like soldiers is always the easiest to get the support and respect of soldiers.

Just when Li San was stunned and the others were eating the noodle soup, Zuo Yuanhao was sitting quietly in the handsome tent, and there were three porcelain altars on the table in front of him. He put the shortbread wrapped in oil paper in front of the big porcelain altar, and said softly: "Lan'er, this is what I just got from a soldier, how do you taste it, I look very good, it must be better than your craftsmanship." ”

The candlelight dangled on the porcelain altar, as if reflecting Ye Lan's delicate appearance of glaring, which made him chuckle. He broke a piece of shortbread and put it in his mouth, chewed it slowly and said: "It tastes really good, do you want me to ask him about it, it's best to ask Zhang Fangzi, and when I learn it, I'll teach you when I reunite with your child......"

In the empty and quiet tent, the candlelight dances gently, and the beautiful man slowly eats the bread in his hand, occasionally whispering softly, the picture is very beautiful, but it is full of sadness and nostalgia......

The sun rises and the moon sets, the solar term has entered April in a blink of an eye, the grass grows and the warbler flies, the falling flowers are colorful, it is the best season in the world, not to mention the rich idlers in the city, even the peasant man will also choose a good weather to take his wife and children to the verdant mountains and wilderness.

When you have to rest and gossip, the topic is naturally inseparable from the army that is on an expedition. These days, there are always soldiers with big banners galloping on fast horses on the official roads, shouting how many enemies to destroy and how many cities to take.

At the beginning, everyone was worried about being beaten into the house by the allied forces of the two countries, but they didn't expect that now they have entered the house and grabbed other people's territory, which is of course a very happy thing, and almost everyone is praising the loyal and brave prince for his extraordinary bravery and the god of war.

In this way, there was a lot of traffic in front of the Zhongyong Palace, and both the royal family and high-ranking officials launched their lady diplomacy, either to send some local products from their hometown to the princess, or to invite the lady to enjoy the flowers and feast.

There are so many people that they almost broke through the threshold of the palace, and the emperor Xu also felt that his younger brother was on the march, and it was very hard for his younger brother and sister to guard the palace at home.

And the man in black who made her very disgusted these days was probably because of the war, and he rarely urged her to send news again, so she didn't have to run back to the prime minister's mansion to be a thief with her mother.

On this day, the queen was in good spirits and held a flower feast, Ye Lian naturally sat on the seat, her face was gentle and humble, but the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were still full of pride and joy.

The emperor, who occasionally came to sit for a while, looked at it, felt dazzling for no reason, and found an excuse to go to the imperial study and sank his face.

Hong Tao has served the emperor for many years, and he knows how to look at the eyes, so he quickly called a little eunuch to find the prince to come and talk to the emperor.

Sure enough, seeing the son he relied on the most and was raised by his younger brother's side, the emperor opened the conversation.

"Heavenly oracle, there is good news today, your Sixth Emperor Uncle has won another battle and killed 5,000 enemies!"

When Zuo Tianyu heard this, his heart trembled, and he thought that his father was afraid of the bravery of the Six Emperor Uncles, so he asked tentatively: "Erchen remembers that the Taifu said that the Shaluo people and the barbarian riders are very brave, and now I want to come to Xu Yiyi to spread the rumor, otherwise, how could it be so easy to be defeated by the Six Emperor Uncles?" ”

The emperor didn't know his son's careful thoughts, so he waved his hand and said angrily: "It's their incompetence, it's your Sixth Emperor Uncle who is too hard." As the commander-in-chief, he actually kills the enemy in front of every battle, and there are countless big and small injuries on his body, I heard that he hurt his back half a month ago, if it weren't for a soldier who brought some spirits and secret gold sore medicine at home, I'm afraid his life would have been lost. ”

Zuo Tianyu looked at the pity on his father's face, which was not fake, so he was relieved, and frowned again: "Even if the Sixth Emperor Uncle was heroic before, he didn't rush in front of the battle, but now what's the matter?" ”

The emperor thought of Fang Cai's proud appearance of Ye Lian, and then thought of his younger brother who was bent on death, and couldn't help but have a mentality of "mother-in-law doesn't like her daughter-in-law". "Your Sixth Emperor Uncle is charging on the battlefield, but why don't I have any worries about the princess when I look at him today? I heard that these days, she has been in and out of various houses, and her life is very comfortable and leisurely, which is really ......"
