Ah You returned to Yulin, and before he had time to change his clothes, he was called to the study by Zhanhuai.

"Did the Nine Ladies reply?" Zhan Huai asked with a grimace.

Ah You took out a letter from his arms and held it in front of Zhanhuai, Zhanhuai looked at the letter, frowned, leaned his nose over and sniffed it, and said unhappily: "Don't put the letter in your arms in the future, it smells of sweat." ”

Ah You asked Cang Tian speechlessly, what did he do wrong?

With eight pages of letterhead, Huo Roufeng told Zhanhuai in detail that her archery skills were getting better and better, and when she was hunting, she had hunted more than a dozen hares herself. She had a new little red horse, much like the one she had seen in her dreams, and she named it Little Red, which was simple but easy to remember. Although Mrs. Li was not happy, but for the sake of money, she still taught the ancestral massage technique to Cailian, and the day before yesterday she received a letter from Yan Niang, and her mother was able to raise her head by herself. Mrs. Li also said that in another month or two, my mother would be able to adapt to the long journey and come to Shaanxi.

Before he finished reading the letter, Zhan Huai smiled and bent his eyes, and his Xiao Jiu wrote the letter like a storyteller as before.

The previous time Tara and his party, Zhanhuai had already met Xie Honglin, and the Zhan family had a relationship with the Xie family and the Gao family, and he almost immediately accepted that Huo Roufeng was the bloodline of the Xie Gao family.

After arriving in Shaanxi, he has been very busy, and now the two general military offices in Yulin and Taiyuan are on the right track, he breathed a sigh of relief, and yesterday he gave his father a letter of repair, not mentioning that Xie Honglin was still alive, but just told his father that the daughters of Xie Gao's two families were married this year, and he was ready to propose......

For the sake of safety, this letter was sent back to Fujian by Ah Quan in person, and Zhan Huai estimated that when Ah Quan came back, I am afraid it would be three months later.

In fact, last time I was in Tartary, Zhanhuai wanted to propose to Xie Honglin. Originally, he wanted to bypass Huo Yan and propose to Mrs. Huo, but he was worried that Mrs. Huo would not be able to shake Huo Yan, after all, Huo Yan was Xiao Jiu's brother of the same father and mother, but as far as Huo Yan's virtue was concerned, eight out of ten would rather let his sister become an old girl than marry him.

Therefore, when he learned that Xiao Jiu's biological mother was still in the world and was right in front of him, he was as happy as if he had found his own mother.

As long as Xie Honglin agreed, Huo Qingzhou had ten or eight reasons not to agree, and no one paid attention to him.

It's just that at that time, the ground movement had just passed, and the soldiers were in chaos, so it was really not a good time to propose marriage. Zhanhuai can only force his little bit of caution, anyway, Huo Yan has to go back to the capital, and when he takes his future mother-in-law to Shaanxi, is he still worried that he will not have a chance to propose?

Zhanhuai read the letter twice, and then remembered that Ah You was still standing beside him.

He looked up and made a gesture that you could speak.

Ah You knows, and said the words that were ready on the road: "Little listen to Zhu Cui, in addition to archery and hunting, Jiu Niangzi also likes to perform martial arts in the sand table recently, but unfortunately no one in the horse farm can play with her, if only the fifth master was here." ”

Zhan Huai was silent, since two or three years ago, Xiao Jiu began to read military books, and when he was in Guangdong, he still talked to him in a letter about several famous battles of the previous dynasty.

He was not surprised, because Xiao Jiu has liked these since he was a child, he loves to watch martial arts, and he likes to listen to books and even more like what female generals lift a thousand pounds of locks, Shaanxi is far from the prosperity of the capital and the south of the Yangtze River, and the horse farm is built in a remote place, there is no drama troupe, and there is no storyteller, Xiao Jiu can only play sand table and perform martial arts alone.

It's just that how does Xiao Jiu know how to perform martial arts in the sand table?

When other children study the Four Books and Five Classics, they have already studied the military books with the old generals who have returned to the field, and when their fathers and brothers have leisure, they will watch them perform martial arts together in the sand table, and the winning side will be rewarded.

But Xiao Jiu grew up in a merchant's house since she was a child, and Master Huo and Mrs. Huo spoiled her again, and they would ask the master to teach her to play the flute, and they would not think of letting her perform martial arts in the sand table.

Thinking like this, Zhan Huai became more and more curious, and after more than ten days, he settled the affairs of the General Military Mansion and went to Huo Roufeng's horse farm.

The racecourse is more than 200 miles away from Yulin, and the fast horse will arrive in half a day.

The spring in the northwest does not have the subtle delicacy of the south of the Yangtze River, it is unrestrained and unrestrained all over the mountains, full of wantonness, and even the unknown small wildflowers in the fields are also holding their heads high and their spirits are vivid.

When Zhan Huai came, Huo Roufeng was on the hillside full of wild flowers, she was dressed in crimson clothes, riding a little red horse, and immediately planted a bright red flag, leading the horses to gallop in the field.

Zhanhuai looked over from afar and hooked the corners of his mouth.

He asked Zhang Shengping, who brought him over: "Jiu Niangzi walks horses like this on weekdays?" ”

He hadn't heard of a horse farm owner walking horses like this, where is this horse walking, it is obvious that he is addicted to leading troops to fight.

Zhang Shengping said: "Jiu Niangzi said that these horses are going to go to the battlefield in the future, so they can't be kept and raised, otherwise they can only bow with the ladies." ”

Zhanhuai's eyes showed a look of approval, when he first entered the camp, he was a horse soldier, the Fujian army focused on the water division, and the cavalry was almost useless.

Xiao Jiu's cognition of horses is exactly the same as what the old horse said, and I don't know how Xiao Jiu comprehended it.

Huo Jiu's figure became smaller and smaller, and gradually turned into a red dot, but Zhanhuai still looked at it with a smile, he was reluctant to blink, for fear that in the blink of an eye, the little red dot would disappear in his field of vision.

Until Huo Roufeng ran in front of him with a sweaty face, Zhanhuai still maintained that posture, looking at her motionlessly.

"Xiao Zhan, how long have you been here?" Under the spring sun, Huo Roufeng's face was shining and shining.

Zhanhuai took the handkerchief handed over by Zhu Cui, wiped the sweat beads on Huo Roufeng's face with his own hands, and said with a smile: "When you passed in front of me, you didn't see me, so why don't you ask me how long I have been watching?" ”

Huo Roufeng stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "If you don't say a word, I didn't know you would come, if I knew, I would definitely wait for you under the old poplar tree outside the racecourse." ”

Zhanhuai stretched out his hand to pinch her nose and said, "Okay, then next time I'll tell you in advance, let my Xiao Jiu stand under the old poplar tree and wait for me." ”

He said "my little nine", and he said it without hesitation, as if he had already said it tens of thousands of times.

Huo Roufeng glared at him, it's really shameless, I haven't said that you are "my little exhibition", you said it first.
