Bao Shilie is an old military household, he was in charge of training in the military camp when he was young, and now Bao Yuanqian and the two of them have grown up and entered the military camp to make up for his amount, but his military identity is unchanged.

Therefore, Bao Shilie's task now is to reclaim the wasteland and farm, not only for the Bao family, but also for generations of military households in the northwest border. Unlike the health centers in the Central Plains in the interior, no matter how old or young, they need to cultivate the land in their spare time.

This Suzhou Wei is surrounded by enemies on three sides and is located at a key point. It may be attacked by ethnic minorities from all sides at any time, so if there is a male in the Suzhou Weijun household, the father will cultivate the land and reclaim the wasteland, and the son will enter the military camp to practice and prepare for war. If there are no male children, those who are not yet seventy years old will have to cultivate the famine and practice.

Therefore, in this Ming Dynasty, men represent the labor force who shares the worries of the family, especially in this Suzhou Wei, it is very important to have one or two men in the family, so the patriarchal atmosphere of the ordinary people is also such a nutritious dish for growth.

'June 25, the fourth year of Jianwen', on this day, Bao Shilie went out of the house early with farm tools and went to the military fields led by the Qilai River outside the Acropolis to cultivate and be busy.

Bao Yuanqian heard the sound of the chai door closing, and a carp rose from the earthen kang, patted the sand and dust on the cloth on the side, and wore it three times and five by two.

Bao Yuanqian saw that his younger brother was still asleep, so he tiptoed to take a few small pieces of silver that had accumulated in his room and went out.

Bao Shilie let Bao Yuanqian stay at home for five days, and his buttocks were seven or eight points better, not to mention the knife wounds, there is the gold sore medicine of the black-robed man, and he can already swing the knife with half the effort, so Bao Yuanqian's restless heart can't hold it back today.

Bao Yuanqian sneaked out of the house with a Yanling knife, and Bao Yuanqian took two pieces of bread on credit on the street, and the account was recorded on the head of Jiang Wei, the warden of the guard command yamen.

Suzhou City is not big, these businessmen naturally know Bao Yuanqian and Jiang Wei, Jiang Wei is a small official, but he still has the face of two gluttons on credit, but I don't know how Jiang Wei will feel if he knows.

Bao Yuanqian wandered around the street a few times and turned into a tailor's shop.

"Tailor Zhang, is the shirt I want ready?" , Bao Yuanqian did not arrive, and the sound came first.

The owner of the tailor shop was dialing the chips, and when he heard the voice, he greeted him with a happy eyebrow and said, "Yo, Master Bao, you are here." The clothes were made the day before yesterday, and they are waiting for you! ”

Bao Yuanqian nodded, and Tailor Zhang smiled and went into the back hall to pick up the goods.

He chatted a little bit, so he crossed his waist and looked at the dazzling variety of clothes in the store, including the coarse linen clothes of ordinary people, the silk and satin of large families, and even the regular clothes of officials.

Although the Ming Dynasty stipulated that merchants were not allowed to wear silk and satin, Suzhou Wei, who was thousands of miles away and integrated with the military and government, could not take care of so much, and the slightly powerful merchants' families were all silk and satin, which was extremely extravagant.

Although this Suzhou Wei is a bitter cold place, people are relatively free, but there are gains and losses.

"Master Bao, your clothes." Just when Bao Yuanqian wanted to get into trouble, the boss dragged his clothes and walked out.

Bao Yuanqian was not polite, and directly took off the patched and tattered cloth clothes on his body and changed into new clothes.

This is a cyan cloth shirt with a straight collar, a straight-fitting wide-sleeved robe with narrow sleeves, and a tightened hem, although it is also a cloth shirt, it is strong in the brand-new, and it is quite capable with Bao Yuanqian's physique.

Bao Yuanqian patted his hem with satisfaction, nodded with satisfaction, and looked like a dog.

After paying to store his old clothes here, he touched the green bead chain in his arms, and he was in a very good mood. swept away the haze of the previous days, and now that the injury has healed, and the new clothes are about to give this beautiful chain to his beloved Miss Cui, Bao Yuanqian couldn't be happier.

Humming a little song all the way to the east of the city, Bao Yuanqian straightened his head and towel, pulled the folds of his shirt and went to the main gate of Cui's house.

As soon as Bao Yuanqian arrived at the door of Cui's house, he saw a rather exquisitely decorated carriage parked outside, and a dozen or so family members were standing beside the carriage on high-headed horses, and there was a woman dressed as a maid in front of the carriage tidying up the carriage and the steps of getting on the horse.

Bao Yuanqian was puzzled, is this who is going to go far away?

Bao Yuanqian walked a few steps closer, only to see a woman walking out of the thick solid wooden gate of Cui's house, wearing a red shirt with a collar, a moon-white horse-faced skirt, and her hair stroked, Tingting walked out of the gate dignifiedly.

This woman's temperament is quite outstanding, her teeth are like shells, and she walks slowly, the green silk wraps the silver grate, and the step shakes out a crisp sound.

"Miss, what time is it, if you delay some time, I'm afraid I won't be able to get to Qingshui Guanyi before this evening, I don't want to feed the wolves in the Gobi this big night!"

When the maid saw her young lady coming out, she couldn't help but wrinkle her nose and said squeamishly.

The woman walked up to the maid and patted the top of the maid's head gently, and said with a smile: "Huan'er begged for a beating, did you dare to ask Miss me?" ”

Nahuan'er covered her head and said, "What's the matter, miss." Huan'er is afraid that you will delay your schedule and not be able to go to Ganzhou for the appointment as scheduled, which will make Dou Gongzi unhappy. ”

After hearing this, the woman's face was sweet, and the eyebrows of the distant mountains deliberately embellished with eyebrows were really like jade, and she smiled and smiled.

"Warbler?"

When Nahuan'er was about to take this woman into the carriage, a man's voice came from his ears, and Cui Yingying's smiling face suddenly froze, and she slowly looked at the person.

"Brother Bao?"

The person who spoke was Bao Yuanqian, but Bao Yuanqian's face was ugly at this time, a little gloomy, and he lost the chic and joy when he came.

"You.... Where is this going? Bao Yuanqian asked knowingly, he just heard it clearly, where would he not know where Cui Yingying was going? It's just that he doesn't cry when he doesn't see the coffin.

Cui Yingying blushed slightly, walked a few steps in front of Bao Yuanqian, avoided her eyes, and said with a woman's salute: "Brother Bao..... I...."

"My young lady is going to Ganzhou Wei Dou's appointment, to Ganzhou Wei as a guest..."

"Huan'er!" , Cui Yingying scolded sideways.

Bao Yuanqian sighed when he heard this, and the atmosphere between the two was a little awkward, and they didn't know what to say.

"That Gongzi Dou is the experience officer of Ganzhou Wei, and he is the sixth rank of the reign at a young age." , I didn't expect Cui Yingying to speak, and Nahuan'er said again.

Cui Yingying's face turned red, she was embarrassed, and she bit her lip lightly and said, "Brother Bao, it's not what you think, Yingying is just going to be a guest." ”

Bao Yuanqian scratched his head stiffly, and said with a forced smile: "Today is not the right time, it's okay, I didn't misunderstand." Don't delay your trip, Yingying, you go first. In the future, we will talk about Suzhou Wei. ”

Cui Yingying listened, and nodded her head, "Brother Bao, say goodbye, goodbye." ”

At the urging of Huan'er, Cui Yingying boarded the carriage, and before entering the carriage, she glanced at Bao Yuanqian helplessly, pursed her lips and got into the carriage, lowered the curtain, and blocked her vision.

Bao Yuanqian stood in place, seeing the carriage going away, his mouth was dry, his chest was congested, his mind was dazed, but the green bead chain he was holding in his hand was never taken out.

"Huan'er, you are really getting more and more presumptuous, how can you talk nonsense?" , In the carriage, Cui Yingying taught Huan'er a lesson.

Unexpectedly, Huan'er said: "Miss! What is his identity as a tartar? How can you be worthy of Miss You? Huan'er also deliberately said this for your good, wanting him to retreat! ”

Cui Yingying sighed lightly and said, "Anyway, Brother Bao is also my savior, how can he speak ill of each other?" ”

"He was not the only one who saved us at that time, what? He wants to take the credit for the hero's salvation alone? Huan'er pouted, "Miss, haven't you ever been attracted to that Dou Gongzi?" Otherwise, how could they go to the appointment? ”

When Cui Yingying heard this, her face changed, and she lowered her head and stopped talking.

Huan'er smiled: "Miss, you are too kind-hearted, in my opinion, this time Ganzhou came back and made it clear with this bag of tartars." ”
