Chapter 862: The Promise Ring
He Zao looked at the box curiously, it was a very beautiful mahogany box, the box was carved with very delicate peony flowers, after opening it, Ah Che took out a pair from it...... Ring?
He Zao's eyes widened in surprise.
Ah Che smiled and put the smaller ring on He Zao's ring finger.
It is a ring made of gold, and at the top of the ring, a small ruby is set.
In the setting sun, the fingers that are more and more lined with He Zao are as slender as jade, bright and picturesque.
He Zao looked at it lovingly, and Ah Che asked, "Do you like it?" β
He Zao nodded vigorously.
She looked up and moved her lips to ask something.
Ah Che smiled: "You remember that you told me before that when you are going to get married one day, you hope that your future husband will personally wear a ring for you, and you will also wear one for him, this pair of rings, as a love object!" Time is a bit rushed, but I think you'll love the look of this ring. β
The gold ring, the ruby face, in modern times, is such a clichΓ© style.
However, at this moment, in He Zao's heart, it is a priceless treasure, and no gem in the world can compare to it.
She cracked her mouth and smiled, so happy.
Ah Che handed the box in his hand to her, and He Zao picked up another ring inside, the ring was also made of gold, and it was also inlaid with rubies, exactly the same as He Zao's ruby, Ah Che explained: "These two gems were dug from a large gem. β
He Zao carefully helped him put it on.
The wind was blowing, Ah Che looked at her little face that was a little white from the cold, stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, He Zao couldn't put down his ring finger and his ring finger together, watched carefully, and after a while, she said briskly: "Ah Che, will we take this ring as an heirloom?" When we have children and they are going to get married, we'll pass on this ring! β
"Good!" Ah Che hugged her tightly, his thin lips pressed against her forehead, and replied softly and solemnly.
They didn't go back that night, and Ache took her to the outskirts.
Ten miles west of Mota City is the prairie.
He had said a long time ago that he wanted to see the real prairie, so Ah Che had already decided to take her to see it tonight.
Part of his army is stationed here, so it's safe to come even at night.
Ah Che first took He Zao to ride a horse, galloped on the grassland for a while, and then stopped by a bay of lake.
Beside the lake, soldiers had already lit torches, erected white tents, and spread thick cashmere blankets on the ground.
From a distance, there is a lot of noise.
He had already asked curiously, "What are they doing?" β
Ah Che smiled: "It's going to be dinner, let's go over, I'll barbecue meat for you!" β
They came to the side of the soldiers, everyone saluted them, although the relationship between He Zao and Ah Che had been confirmed, but they had not yet told both parents, Ah Che introduced her or directly called He girl.
However, when all the soldiers saw their general's attitude towards He Zao, they all guessed who she was!
Ah Che took He Zao to sit by the bonfire, on the bonfire, there were already two large leg of lamb roasted, and a large cauldron was hanging, which was gurgling and smoking, and the smell of milk wafted in.
"They used to drink soup made with goat's milk at night and eat mutton!" Ah Che ordered a pheasant to be brought, and he personally roasted the chicken leg for He Zao.
He Zao leaned on him slightly, listening to him talking to the soldiers, looking at his hearty and undisguised smile, He Zao thought to himself, he really loved his soldiers!
After eating roast chicken thighs and drinking some goat's milk, Ah Che took He Zao to the lake.
The two men sat there, snuggled up to each other, and looked up at the stars in the sky.
In northern Xinjiang, it feels like the sky is cleaner and clearer than elsewhere, and even the stars seem to be brighter.
He Zao looked at it, and became interested, took Ah Che's hand, and pointed out to him to identify the stars in the sky.
What is that star, what is this star.
Ah Che knows some of them, but most of them have never heard of them.
However, he looked at He Zao, who was full of interest in explaining various star legends and stories to him, and did not ask the questions in his heart.
He just smiled, hugged her tight, and listened to her.
The soldiers were resting, even the stars seemed to close their eyes, it was already very late, and He was tired and fell asleep early.
Where they sit, a bonfire was lit here to cook before, so now the ground is hot, not cold at all, Ah Che put on a thick cloak again, and did not hesitate to wrap all the mornings.
He was already in his arms, sleeping like a purring piglet.
Her sleeping appearance has not changed at all from when she was a child.
Ah Che took advantage of the starlight to look at her sleeping face, and she loved her to the extreme.
He thought that at this moment, he was the happiest person in the world.
The next morning, He Zao woke up to the sound of steps and low shouts.
She rubbed her eyes and looked around, a rhinoceros horn was hung on the wall, a thick cashmere blanket was spread on the ground, and a coffee table was placed on the blanket.
That's Ache's!
He Zao remembered where he slept.
It's Ache's tent!
She couldn't help but sit up curiously and look around.
Except for the cashmere blanket on the ground, which was a bit luxurious, the whole camp was much simpler than He had imagined.
Everything is half-used and very simple.
There is only a partition made of sheepskin in front, and there is a large table outside, and stools are placed around it, which should be the place where Ah Che usually discusses military affairs with the soldiers.
When he came out again, he came outside.
Outside, there were two small soldiers guarding the tent.
Seeing He Zao come out, he stood up straight, holding his head high: "Miss He! β
The momentum of the brush is like He Zao has walked to the military camp in his previous life.
She was a little flattered and a little novel, and looked at them with a smile, they were all very young and energetic, so she greeted them and asked, "Where is the general?" β
"Go horseback riding!" One of the little soldiers said that it was probably rare to see a woman in the barracks, and his dark face was faintly red.
He had already asked: "Then can I walk around at will!" β
The creep stepped back, motioning for her to be casual.
He had already walked in the direction of the lake, this side, it should have been because she had just had breakfast, the bonfire was still lit, and the heat of the flame and the howling north wind hit He Zao's side together, making her feel like she had never felt before!
Very comfortable and cozy!
It's even safer!
He Zao involuntarily stood by the lake, stretched his waist, and yawned!
