Following.

Xiao Tingchen took the notice to see Yuan Meng.

The process went surprisingly smoothly, and he easily got 3,000 elite soldiers to use to suppress the bandits.

When he left King Su's mansion, Yuan Meng suddenly stopped him.

He looked back, and the fifty-year-old man was sitting on the animal skin cushion, his cloudy old eyes revealing coolness, "Although these words should not be said by me, you know that you didn't get this opportunity in the first place." ”

Xiao Tingchen stared at him.

"That girl, Su Jiu, came to the palace in the snow last night to meet the king...... She begged the king to give you the opportunity to suppress the bandits, and even went against her heart to force the king to agree with your grace of burying your bones and collecting the corpse for the snow. Xiao Tingchen, who buried Fuxue's body, and who persuaded you to send her back to Liangzhou, you know it in your heart. ”

Xiao Tingchen's eyebrows were piercing.

The Rong family forced the palace, and Yuan Fuxue hanged himself.

He was too lazy to care about Yuan Fuxue, it was Su Xiaojiu who persuaded him to send the corpse back to Liangzhou.

The person who is kind to Yuan Meng is Su Xiaojiu, not him at all.

Yuan Meng smiled, "Xiao Tingchen, the men in Liangzhou all like Su Jiu, a clean and good woman. But there are thousands of women in the world, how many can be like her? You have to treat her well, otherwise Brother Lu Yi can't spare you, and this king can't spare you! ”

Xiao Tingchen smiled slightly.

His fingertips stroked the golden beast head candlestick embedded in the wall, and he said casually: "King Su's candlestick, it seems to be made of pure gold. ”

"Nature." Yuan Meng was not angry, "Although Liangzhou is deserted, it is also a fortress for business travelers between the two countries. Although my Su Wangfu is not as prosperous as the Chang'an family, it also has a heritage of thousands of years. ”

"It's good."

Xiao Tingchen broke off half of the golden candlestick and hid it in his arms.

He picked up the hat leaning against the eaves and stepped into the snow.

Yuan Meng: ......?!

He came back to his senses and was angry, "Xiao Tingchen, you stop for Lao Tzu!" ”

Xiao Tingchen's voice was lazy: "It's almost the New Year, I'll buy some good things for my little wine sister." King Su is generous, and he won't worry about my junior in the future. ”

Yuan Meng's blood flowed backwards, "Xiao Tingchen, you still go to suppress the bandits, Lao Tzu should be the first to kill you!" ”

……

In the small house, Luo Lishang led Bailu and Frost to the street to buy New Year's goods.

Wu Song led Gu Yu and Jing Zhen, two stupid apprentices, to the pharmacy to buy medicinal materials, planning to teach them to dispense medicine.

In the small kitchen, Xiao Weihua gathered around Su Jiu grinding and chirping.

Su Jiu was making dumplings and looked at him a little puzzled.

The boy is very bored and refuses to say anything when he encounters anything.

She thought for a while and said tentatively: "Weihua, do you want to write a letter to Sister Fengxian?" ”

Xiao Weihua nodded.

He took out two dimes of silver from his sleeve pocket, "I write ugly, I'm afraid she won't like it." You help me write a letter to my family, and I will give you the money. ”

Su Jiu was amused by him, "It's just a letter to the family, and it's too much to give silver." ”

She cleaned her hands, laid out the paper and ink, and wrote "Feng Xian's wife, see the letter as well" eight small letters.

She looked at Xiao Weihua with a smile, "What do you want to write?" ”

The gloomy-looking little groom, with a pestle by the stove, couldn't open his mouth a little.

It's too shameful to read what is in your heart to others......

He blushed and said in a voice like a gnat: "I'm all right in Liangzhou, don't worry about it...... The end of the year is approaching, you have to take care of yourself. Buy whatever you like, all our money is hidden under the bed, you know......"

Saying this, he didn't forget to glance at Su Jiu.

Su wine sneered.

How did she make it look like she coveted his family's money......

Xiao Weihua's letter was quite brief, Su Jiu brought him an envelope, and was about to pack it for him, when he handed over another silver hairpin.

Liangzhou's unique ancient silver is not as expensive as the silver hairpin style of Chang'an, but there is a sense of heaviness that has been weathered.

It was bought by him with the silver money he had earned from performing on the street in the past few days, plus the money he had pulled out of his teeth to save money.

Su Jiu snickered.

This unruly little groom has a cloudy temper.

But for her sister Fengxian, it is first-class and good.

There are thousands of husbands and wives in the world, and there are many who can keep the prosperity, but how many couples can support the long winter after the prosperity is gone?

She packed the letters and gifts for Xiao Weihua, and the young man carefully carried them in his arms and limped to the post station to send the letter.

Su Jiu continued to make dumplings, halfway through the wrapping, a pair of warm big palms covered her eyes from behind.

She chuckled, "How old are you still playing this little trick, Xiao Tingchen, are you naïve?" ”

"I, in front of my sister, would rather be naïve for the rest of my life."

Xiao Tingchen let go of his hand, sat down next to Su Jiu, raised his eyebrows and stared at the vegetable filling, "What stuffing?" ”

"Bamboo shoots, fresh meat, eggs - eh, how did you eat them? It's still raw! ”

Xiao Tingchen scooped up a spoonful of vegetable filling and put it in his mouth, smiling, "I can't wait to taste my sister's craftsmanship." ”

Su Jiu wiped the corners of his oil-stained mouth with a handkerchief, "When someone was the regent, he once disliked my food for being unappetizing, saying that the imperial chef made it better than me...... I also tore my own bedclothes......"

Every time she said a word, Xiao Tingchen's cheeks turned red.

At that time, I was young, and I forgot about it when I first took power.

thought he had everything, and he did everything all day long, torturing Su Xiaojiu to the point of being inhuman.

I want to come now......

Those actions were enough for him to regret for the rest of his life.

His cheeks were hot, and he silently drank a cup of herbal tea.

Fortunately, he was thick-skinned, and soon recovered as before, pointing to the sleeves of the broken thread and said, "The clothes are torn, and my sister will make up for me?" ”

Su Jiu glanced at him.

The man is aggrieved like a big dog.

She had to clean her hands and take a needle and thread to mend the sleeves of his shirt.

Light snow was falling outside the window.

Hot water was boiling on the stove, and the whole kitchenette was warm.

Xiao Tingchen held his cheek with one hand and handed it to Su Jiu with the other.

He lowered his peach blossom eyes and watched quietly as the girl mended his sleeves.

Her side face was as white as jade, and a few strands of lacquer hair fell down in front of her forehead, making her delicate and sweet.

He couldn't help but blow into her little face.

The paint hair is slightly raised.

The girl's appearance when she stared at him was puffed up, especially immature and cute.

She glared, pursed her lips and continued to sew stitches and threads, and the deer's eyes were extremely serious.

After the sewing was completed, a small pattern of "goldfish counting tails" was also embroidered on his cuffs.

"It's not good-looking," Xiao Tingchen disliked, "The little goldfish is too naïve, it's better to embroider a lion rolling hydrangea for me." ”

Su Jiu poked him with a needle, "The goldfish counts their tails, which means that the hall is full of gold and jade, and the fish leaps over the dragon gate, why is it naïve?!" If you still want the lion to roll the hydrangea, do you know how much time it takes to embroider such a pattern? ”

Xiao Tingchen covered the back of his hand that was poked.

He was a little aggrieved, but he still tentatively said: "That'...... If I succeed in suppressing the bandits, my sister will embroider a lion and a hydrangea for me? ”

Su Jiu thought about it and nodded seriously.

Dawn the next day.

It was still dark, Xiao Tingchen got up lightly and kissed Su Jiumian's soft and warm face.
