Narcissus came over and said, "Yes, look at this fabric, you can see our girl's sincerity to the princess, the skirt made of soft smoke, the edge is embroidered with gold, and the silver flowers are rolled." The princess doesn't want to be the best, the girl will wear it for herself, how beautiful. ”

Qingyun said: "Yes, our girls are wearing simple clothes, why do you need to give this high-quality soft smoke to others, people don't like it yet." ”

Zhou Zhengzheng picked up the clothes and compared them with himself, and said with a smile: "Is it good-looking?" ”

Qingyun said: "Of course it looks good, if you want me to say, this dress is tailor-made for girls!" ”

Zhou Zhengzheng said: "Then I will give it to myself." Princess, no, I'm also a New Year's gift for myself. ”

The north wind was blowing and whirring.

It's the coldest time of the year again, and the snowflakes are flying, and soon the border is covered with snow, like a thick quilt.

Although the weather is cold outside, it is the hearts of people that are even colder.

At this moment, everyone who can go home has already gone home, no matter how small the home is, no matter how broken the house is, but after all, the family can be reunited, and there is also a New Year's appearance.

But for the soldiers guarding the border passes, they can't go back to their homes, and their wives and children can't see each other, which is really a kind of cold to the bones.

Inside the house, Lin Dark sat cross-legged in front of him, a pot of wine was heating on a small stove, and on the table, there was a plate of beef and a few side dishes, and there was nothing else.

In the winter at the border gate, the supplies are very scarce, and occasionally they are a little fresh, and they also have to rely on luck to make some game to satisfy their hunger.

This is not a little different from the delicacies of the mountains and seas in the capital.

If it weren't for guarding the border passes, with the title of Lin Dark Night, it can be said that you can eat whatever you want.

How to appease the homesickness of the soldiers at this special moment is a difficult problem in front of Lin Darkye.

Once, some soldiers secretly left the camp, and later dealt with them by military law and executed.

Lin Dark Night naturally didn't want any soldiers to sneak out, but people's hearts were separated from their stomachs, and if it wasn't good, someone was secretly planning these now.

When marching and fighting, morale is the most important thing, and if you can make the soldiers focus their minds without other thoughts, then it will be a success.

Lin Dark Night wanted to manage the soldiers by strengthening drills, so that the soldiers were tired and didn't have time to think about the New Year.

But Lin Zhongchao felt that it was inappropriate, and reasonable venting was the best policy.

After repeated deliberations, Lin Zhongchao decided to launch a large-scale Keju competition in the barracks.

Speaking of Keju, soldiers are actually no strangers, they have all played in their hometowns to a greater or lesser extent, and it is a popular sport for men during the Chinese New Year.

The kick-bow competition in the barracks can allow the soldiers to relive the New Year's atmosphere in their hometown to relieve the pain of lovesickness, second, to properly vent some negative emotions through physical venting, and third, it can also serve the purpose of training.

When Lin heard this, he immediately felt that it was very good, and immediately arranged it, and the whole army played a juju competition.

Sure enough, as soon as the notice came out, the applicants gathered, and the number of people who signed up for the competition greatly exceeded Lin Night's estimate.

But this made Lin Dark Ye feel very good, the more people who signed up, it showed that the soldiers' hearts could settle down for the time being.

In order to better carry out the Keju competition, Lin Dark Night ordered that two Ju Castles be specially built, and in the Ju City, the two small house-like city gates are opposite.

In a game of Keju, twelve people on one side, in direct physical contact, kick the bow into the opponent's goal, the winner wins.

On the day of the competition, the whole city was full of red lanterns, and there was a lot of joy. Although it is not as lively and noisy as in the capital, the rough red color is more enjoyable to watch.

All the soldiers who went into battle were tied with red silk ropes, but one team was tied around their waists and the other was tied to their foreheads.

For the sake of joy, Lin Zhongchao also specially painted the juqiu with vermilion, like the atmosphere of the New Year.

With the shouts of joy under the order, the ears are endless, those who can play, sweat like rain, and those who are watching the game on the sidelines, the shouts are deafening and reach the firmament.

The red balls clashed left and right at the feet of the soldiers, up and down.

It often attracts three or four people to compete together, and it seems that this bow ball represents the blessing of the New Year, and whoever can grab it means that he has grabbed the blessing.

In this way, Keju occupies everyone's life, except for daily rest and diet, the soldiers open and close their mouths are Keju.

The Keju competition was held in full swing, and the noise resounded inside and outside the border city.

Lin Zhongchao gently closed the door and shut out the hustle and bustle.

The more lively it was outside, the more lonely Lin Zhongchao felt.

obviously longed to have dinner with Zhou Zhengzheng, but he could only look at the vast snow outside the window in a daze.

In a trance, Lin Zhongchao saw the scene of Zhou Zheng hanging lanterns and pasting Spring Festival couplets.

Suddenly, there was a crashing sound in the fire, which pulled Lin Zhongchao back to reality, it was a hollow dry wood rattling.

Thinking longingly, after Lin Zhongchao drank a glass of hot wine, he spread out a white painting, picked up the pen and ink, and outlined Zhou Zhengzheng's face.

The jet-black hair is pulled up into a drooping bun, which looks down and generous, and under a pair of slender willow eyebrows, the eyes are clear and refreshing.

Lin Zhongchao put down his pen like a god, looking at the portrait of Zhou Zheng from different angles, he could feel that Zhou Zheng seemed to be looking at himself, affectionate.

Under the nose, the cherry mouth is closed, but the smile that appears slightly is even more charming.

As he painted, Lin Zhongchao gradually slowed down, and seemed to have a lot of things to say to Zhou Zheng in the painting, but he wanted to stop talking.

After a long time, Lin Zhongchao finally slowly put down the pen, rolled up the portrait of Zhou Zhengzheng, and hid it deeply.

Outside the house, the night of wind and snow made the earth clothed in pure white new clothes, and on the red lantern, thick snowdrifts slid down and hit the ground heavily.

Lin Zhongchao pushed open the door and took a deep breath, a cloud of white mist almost blurred his face.

Capital.

At the corner of the cloister, a yellow cat curled up, basking in the sun against the pillar, its eyes narrowed into a slit, very pleasant.

Jeruyan had just spent a year filled with the sound of firecrackers.

Beidi does not have such a custom to celebrate the New Year.

Yelu Ruyan felt guilty, but ah, she still didn't want to go home.

Lin Junsheng finally proposed, "Or, is the princess willing not to be a princess and be my woman?" ”

Yelu hurriedly said, "Junsheng, I hope to be liked by you more than anyone else. If you can make me your woman, I will ......"

Lin Junsheng waved his hand in disgust and said, "Princess, then you may accept that you will never see the sun again in this life, friends, relatives?" ”

Jeruyan said, "I didn't understand ......"

Lin Junsheng approached Yelu Ruyan and said word by word: "That is, the princess will become my woman, but there is no wedding, no applause." ”
