The winter nights are long, the morning light has not yet arrived, and there are already pedestrians on the street, carrying burdens and catching cars, and the busy day has begun at this time.

Three wide mule carts walked through the streets of the city, and the sound of hooves attracted the attention of pedestrians.

In the dark, it was difficult to see what was pulled on the mule cart, but the air lamps hanging on the cart were recognizable at a glance.

"This is Zhanfu's mule cart, I went out so early."

"Today is Laba, and I think I'm going to deliver Laba porridge to various prefectures."

Before the time to open the city gate, the handlebar of the chariot handed the sign of the general soldier's house, and with the sound of squeaking, the city gate slowly opened, and the three mule carts rushed out, and the city gate closed again behind them.

The curtain of a mule cart was lifted, revealing a delicate girl's face.

She looked curiously at the slowly closing gate, and then looked up at the lantern hanging high above the castle tower, and was about to lean a little further out, to see the armored soldiers on the castle tower a little more clearly, when a hand behind her lowered the curtain.

"Sister, can you let me see it again." The girl pleaded with a strange accent.

"My little princess, it's too cold outside, be nice, don't be naughty, we can get to Zhuangzi early." It was Caihe who spoke, and as for this curious little girl, of course, she was in her own right.

It's almost the New Year, Xie Honglin asked people to take leave for her and took her to Xi'an early.

Xie Honglin watched Qiqige be born, grow up, and never reunite with her children for more than ten years, and her Qiqi brought her countless joys and tenderness.

She is not an ordinary elder to a junior, and there is also a mother-daughter relationship.

Today is Laba, and before dawn, the house is going to send Laba porridge to the practice field outside the city, and by the way, it will also be sent to Xiaoye, so Caihe and Ruoshui Mama also went with them.

Qige couldn't stay idle, and begged Caihe to take her, and Xie Honglin asked her to go with her.

Back then, in Tarata, Qige had seen Xiao Ye, but she was only twelve years old at that time, and Xiao Ye was just a maid by Huo Roufeng's side, and her character was not taken to heart. On the road today, she heard Mama Ruoshui and Caihe talking about Xiao Ye, so she asked curiously, "Is Xiao Ye very sick?" ”

Mama Ruoshui sighed and said, "Yes, she is very sick, Miss Qiqige should be well-behaved, and when she sees Xiaoye for a while, you must not mention the matter of being sick." ”

Qi Qige nodded as if he didn't understand, and asked, "What do you want to say when you visit the sick and don't let you mention the illness?" ”

After speaking, she also sighed like Mama Ruoshui, and said, "You Han people are really weird, no wonder Brother Yan said that I can't learn even if I study for twenty years." ”

Speaking of this, she immediately remembered another thing and asked Caihe: "It's the New Year, why hasn't Brother Yan come back yet?" ”

Seeing that she had forgotten the topic just now so quickly, Caihe also said with a smile: "The eldest prince has something important to do, and he can't come back for a while." ”

Qiqige lowered his head and stopped talking.

The carriage suddenly fell silent, and Cai He touched his character: "What's wrong, are you homesick?" ”

Qi Qige snorted: "I want Abu, I want Eji, I want Brother Yan." ”

After saying that, she threw herself into Caihe's arms and cried with a whimper.

Mama Ruoshui was startled, the little girl who was still smiling just now, how could she cry when she cried?

Caihe glanced at her, followed Xie Honglin for a long time, and even understood her temper, this little girl was hearty and cute, without the squeamishness of a Central Plains woman, and would not hide her joy and anger, cry if she wants to cry, laugh if she wants to laugh, and now she must have aroused the feelings of missing her parents.

By the way, she once followed the eldest prince to the capital, and she lived for half a year, and she also had feelings when she thought about it.

Huo Qingzhou, who was still sleeping, was awakened by a series of sneezes, he Huo sat up and subconsciously rubbed his nose, is this a cold?

His nose was still a little itchy, and he couldn't help but sneeze a few more times, and he didn't feel sleepy for a while.

At this hour, the sky in Xi'an has not yet been brightened, and the morning light has already illuminated Huo Qingzhou's house.

He lives in his sister's house, although the house is not big, but the pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, imitated the Suzhou garden to build, exquisite and elegant, even in winter in the garden is also the fragrance of flowers.

This is Huo Jiu's fifth birthday, Master Huo gave her a birthday gift. As soon as Huo Qingzhou arrived in Hangzhou, Huo Jiu let him live here.

Huo Qingzhou couldn't sleep, so he simply put on his clothes and got up, the winter in Hangzhou was not only warmer than the capital, but in Huo Qingzhou's opinion, it was even a little colder than the capital.

Although there is no biting cold of the north wind, the cold is mixed with dampness, which makes people cold from their feet to their heads, even if Huo Qingzhou has martial arts, he can't wait to hold the hand stove wherever he goes.

At this time, he walked in the garden with the hand stove in his arms, followed by smoke and fog as cold as he did.

Ruyan cried and asked, "Uncle, you slept late yesterday, why don't you sleep a little more today?" ”

Huo Qingzhou ignored him, he was so cold that he didn't want to speak.

He wanted to write a letter to Xiaofeng, such a delicate house, there was not even an earth dragon, and he didn't feel warm when he put a brazier, and on this cold day, there was no warm place in the whole house. He stayed in the house no different from in the garden, and instead of freezing in the house, it was better to walk in the garden, and maybe he could get out of the sweat.

But instead of sweating, he walked around, but it was colder than just now.

Back in the house, he simply went back to the bed again.

"What's that, what's it called, Tang Pozi, yes, what about Tang Pozi, come and put a few more in the quilt for me."

He also had to write a letter to Xiaofeng, on such a cold day, if there is no earth dragon, why don't you even have a fire kang, you are cold, you are really cold.

Now the thing he regrets the most is that in the winter, he chose to stay in Jiangnan.

Although he had been to Jiangnan before, he had never come to Jiangnan in winter, and he might as well follow the Zhanjia's boat to Fujian.

I heard that the winter in Fujian is not cold.

Huo Qingzhou thought about it in pieces, and finally fell asleep again in a daze, he dreamed that he went back to the capital, and Xiaofeng ate mutton in a copper pot around the copper pot, and there was Zhanhuai next to him, Xiaofeng said that he would bring Zhanhuai, otherwise there would be no Yulin mutton to eat. Bring it, bring it, for the sake of the mutton, he endured it.

"Uncle, uncle, wake up, Zhan Shizi sent someone, you get up quickly."

Huo Qingzhou hadn't eaten a bite of mutton before he was woken up by a sudden shout.

He sat up violently again, staring blankly at Ruyan in front of him, and it took him a while to come to his senses: "You are a soul!" ”

"It's not a soul, it's Zhan Shizi who sent someone, eldest miss, phew, it's not the eldest lady of our family, it's Princess Qing, Princess Qing has an accident!"
