Xiao Ling, who had been put down here, turned around and went to do something else.

And Qing Ran, who rushed out of the house, was still asking around the street, where was the best place to sell her daughter's belongings, and where was the best to sell.

finally found a shop on Jingcheng South Street, and it had taken him two hours.

I wanted to go in and get one and leave, but as soon as I stepped through the door, his eyes were glazed.

Those colorful things are everywhere, and he can't tell which one is good and which one is bad, and he doesn't know which one Xiaoling will like.

Business is not good in winter, the store waited for a long time, and finally waited for a customer, enthusiastically eager to hold Qingran for a drink.

Whenever his eyes glanced at an object, the shopkeeper would definitely tell the flower of that thing.

As a result, he said for another hour, almost fainting Qing Ran, and he didn't know which one to sell.

In the end, I had to look at the store with confused eyes and ask: "It's just an ordinary girl, I can only choose one, which one do you say is suitable?" ”

The store said that after talking for a long time, he had to drink two more cups of tea, but this boy only bought one, isn't this annoying?

I was angry, and my eyes and hands also changed, and I pointed at it casually: "That's good." ”

I don't know if it's good or not, but it's a bit scary.

But the first time I gave a gift to the girl, it was more expensive, he was alone all these years, he only earned and didn't spend, and he still had some savings, so he bought it and put it in a delicate box.

Hurried back to the house, Zhuang Siyan had already gone back with Xiaoling, and Ye Yuanpei was alone as the master inside, shouting that the second drink was not happy.

Seeing Qing Ran coming back, he hurriedly greeted and said, "Where did you just go?" Don't you have to send her back to the palace every time, the two of you have been waiting for you here for a long time, but no one has come back, and they are afraid that it will be dark as soon as they sit down, so they will leave first. ”

Qing Ran was holding a brocade box in his hand, and the person stood at the door stupidly for a while, and did not reply to his words.

Ye Yuanpei glanced at him like that, and he had a thought in his heart, so he got up and walked over in person, and glanced at the thing in his hand: "Gift, for the girl, right?" What's the matter, brother, I'll give you a palm? ”

Qing Ranzheng has no master, hearing him say this, he thought that General Ye was usually the most reliable, and hurriedly handed over the box: "Give." ”

The person who was so cheerful and didn't know thought that he had originally given it to Ye Yuanpei.

Ye Yuanpei walked to the table, sat down slowly, and then opened the box.

When I saw what was lying inside, I almost didn't vomit out the food I had just eaten.

He looked up at Qing Ran strangely and asked, "You picked this gift yourself?" ”

Qing Ran nodded, then shook his head, and finally nodded again.

Ye Yuanpei didn't understand whether it was or not, but it didn't matter if it was or not, anyway, when the things were in his hands, they had to be given away.

He covered the box and handed it back to Qing Ran.

Qing Ran was anxious when he saw that he didn't say a word: "Mr. Ye, you have the best vision, how about this golden hairpin?" ”

Ye Yuanpei swallowed hard before squeezing out a smile: "It's very special, good vision, come and drink the bar." ”

Qing Ran's hanging heart, "plop" finally fell back into her stomach, and her mood was good, so she really sat down and drank with Ye Yuanpei.

It's just that as long as Ye Yuanpei raised his head, he didn't see a green face, but only a gold ingot cast on it, yellow like a golden hairpin with a piece of.

It's quite affordable, the whole is gold, but this kind of weird thing is only suitable for the old mother of the nouveau riche in the countryside, where can I send the girl?

He wanted to mention Qing Ran a little, but seeing his excited appearance, he didn't want to remind him.

Such a real man, if the girl understands him and sends anything out, the two of them can be together, but if they don't understand her, even if they send it right this time, they still can't be together in the future, so it's better to let him try his luck first.

I made an excuse for myself, and I felt much better, and I drank the next wine heartlessly.

Zhuang Siyan and the others returned to the palace, and it was almost dark.

The two entered the palace gate and hurried to the Xuan Palace.

Xiao Ling was afraid that she would go too quickly and hurt the dragon fetus, so she kept holding her arm steadily, and she couldn't stop reminding: "Niangniang, slow down, there is still snow on the ground, be careful of slipping your feet." ”

Zhuang Siyan shook his head: "It's okay, I think there seems to be something in the palace, let's go back to the Xuan Hall and have a look." ”

Before they entered the door of the Xuan Palace, they saw Ping'er walking around at the gate of the palace, and his eyes were still glancing around.

Zhuang Siyan's heart was cold, and he shouted from afar: "Ping'er......"

When Ping'er heard that she was back, she ran over and ran: "Niangniang, where have you been, why did you come back here?" But it made me die. ”

Zhuang Siyan didn't comfort her anxiousness, and asked directly, "What happened?" ”

Ping'er: "Mr. Li came to you after noon, and seeing that you have not been there, I asked you to go to Chenxi Hall after you come back." ”

"Chenxi Palace? Did the emperor come back? Zhuang Siyan asked anxiously.

Ping'er shook her head: "No, but it seems that there is news from the northern Xinjiang." ”

Zhuang Siyan walked all the way to Chenxi Palace, thinking in her heart, it was good for a while, and it was bad for a while, in a short period of time, she thought about her life for a hundred years, and her footsteps finally stepped into the threshold of Chenxi Palace.

Li Fu was still waiting there, and when he saw her coming, he hurriedly came out to greet her: "Niangniang......"

"What's the news, and where's it?" Zhuang Siyan walked directly inside, without looking at him much.

Li Fu, who was originally going to kneel, was busy getting up again and followed her inside.

In the past, on the desk where Ling Tiancheng read the folds in batches, there were two objects side by side.

One is a war report, and the other is an epistle.

Zhuang Siyan's hand first stretched out to the letter, then paused there, and then turned to the battle report.

But in the end she picked up the letter.

On the envelope is his sonorous and powerful font, with only three words "Yan Erqi".

The thin letter paper can be pinched out by hand, and it is estimated that there are no words in it.

But it doesn't matter, he can write back and explain that everything should be fine over there, as long as he is well, and it doesn't matter what he writes.

The letter paper was pulled out, but there was not a single word.

On a white piece of paper, only half of the face of the beauty is drawn, and there is a red flower on the sideburns, which is chic and elegant.

Zhuang Siyan looked at it carefully and watched it several times before he understood what he wanted to express - Siyan.

He was thinking about himself, so much so that he didn't even write a word, but just drew half of her face, and then metaphorically said her life.

Her eyes were a little blurry, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth.

She held the letter paper for a long time, looked at it and looked at it, as if she had seen a thousand words on it, and then those thousand words converged into a painting in front of her, still the half of the side face, or the same thinking face.

Li Fu didn't dare to disturb her, and had already retreated outside.

When Zhuang Siyan came back to his senses from the letter, he picked up the battle report and read it again.

Fortunately, it was good news, they finally drove the Northern Barbarians out of the Dasheng Dynasty and took back the lost territory.

But Ling Tiancheng didn't plan to move back to the court, as Zhuang Siyan said before, he planned to go into the desert, find those old nests of the northern barbarians, and take them to the nests, in exchange for the peace of the people in the border areas for several years.

This time, Zhuang Siyan really shed tears.

Such a great man does what he should do.

This battle is different from them in Jincheng, and it is different from any open and secret battle in the court.

Zhuang Siyan could almost predict that Ling Tiancheng's return this time would inevitably be different from the past, and he would no longer be burdened by court affairs.

He will definitely be able to broaden his horizons and let himself see higher and farther.

He will be a good emperor, a good emperor praised by everyone, worthy of heaven and earth, and worthy of himself.

Coming out of the Chenxi Palace, Zhuang Siyan's mood was really good.

It was so good that she almost wanted to sing.

She also really sang it, and Xiao Ling couldn't understand a word of the modern song she sang, but from that note, from Zhuang Siyan's expression, she could still feel the happiness of her mother.

That's enough, no matter what she sings, what she listens to, or what she watches, she can be good and happy, for a palace maid like Xiaoling, everything is enough.

However, Ling Tiancheng, who was far away in the northern frontier, was not as good as they thought, and he even felt that he might be going to die.

The heavy snow covered half of the barracks, and they had been stationed in the snow for more than half a month.

There were a few small battles here and there, but they never found the headquarters of the Northern Barbarians.

The food and grass were soon to be bottomed out, and the soldiers were hungry and cold, and they had begun to hunt and replenish the wild.

These are not the most serious, the most serious is that the cavalry of the Northern Barbarians is more powerful than they imagined, even if it is so heavy snow, people can't pull out their legs when they walk on it, but those horses can walk like flying.

They are unpredictable, often sneak attack, Ling Tiancheng encountered the same problem as the original guards, sent troops out and saw no one, as soon as they returned to the tent, the enemy was in front of him.

After many negotiations, now he and Bai Heng and Qiu Gangbing are divided into three routes, marching to the depths of the desert from different directions to find the headquarters of the Northern Barbarians.

Ten days ago, in order to save food and grass, he led a small group of cavalry to chase the enemy's tail to a small snow hill, and unfortunately encountered an ambush.

At that time, he took fifty men, almost all of them hiding in the snow, leaving only three or four to break out with him.

But the situation was not optimistic at all, because the other party was large in number and the terrain was more familiar than them, so several people were seriously injured when they returned.

In addition, Ling Tiancheng came back with a total of five people, one of whom collapsed and died before he reached the tent, and the other three did not get up until now.

Ling Tiancheng's injuries were not light, but he insisted all the way to the tent, and he couldn't even sit well, so he fell to the ground.

Fortunately, a close attendant supported him in time, and it took a long time to lift that breath.

That war report, as well as the family letter, was written in this situation.

The war report came from the hands of the commander, and as the emperor, he didn't need to write this kind of thing himself.

I really couldn't write letters, so I took out a profile picture that I often copied to fill up the number.

This painting was carried on Ling Tiancheng's body from the moment he entered Beiban, placed close to his body, and when he took it out of his arms, it still carried his body temperature.

He thought, if he died, this would also be the last gift left for Zhuang Siyan, there was no need to say anything, she was so smart, she should understand everything she should understand, and leave what she shouldn't understand to this snowy sky.
