Chapter 174: Confession
The matter of collecting taxes by the imperial court was very slow because of the resistance of the people. There was not enough manpower in the county office, and the county had no choice, so he hurriedly reported it to the prefecture and begged for the army to be transferred from the prefecture to suppress it. But Changbai County is still far away from Fucheng, and this time and again, it will take a lot of time.
The officers in the county government were all a little frightened, and they did not dare to go out of the city to collect taxes in the villages. So, the people took advantage of this opportunity to hurry up and collect grain.
The Han family is the same, although the corn in the field is gone, but crops such as millet and sorghum can also be harvested. In the school, the master gave everyone a holiday, Yun Ting and Yun Lei also helped in the field, and even Yun Ni, after cleaning up the house, also went to the field to help.
Yun Xue is better now, but she is still weak and always dizzy. Everyone didn't dare to let her work in the field, so Yunxue coaxed Yunxia at home and cooked by the way. Anyway, as long as you move slowly and don't do too much heavy work, you can still handle it.
On August 12, Yun Xue was in the garden, picking beans from the bean rack. These late beans are also the last crop, and they should be dried or eaten when they are picked, and they all have to be cleaned up. Otherwise, if there is a sudden frost one day, they will all be blind.
Yun Xue raised her head and picked the beans for a while, and she felt dizzy, so she quickly held the beans rack and rested. Yun Xue shook her head and couldn't help but smile bitterly, this time she was sick and hurt her vitality, and she would be dizzy and flustered if she did a little work, which was very uncomfortable. It's like this, I don't know when I'll be able to take care of my body, and now that there are so many things at home and outside the home, Yunxue is really a little anxious.
"Sister, uncomfortable?" Xiao Yunxia was originally sitting next to her and watching, but when she saw the eldest sister like this, she knew that it might be that the eldest sister was uncomfortable again. The little guy was very clever, and reached out and handed another bench to Yun Xue, "Sit, rest." ”
Yun Xue felt uncomfortable in her heart for a while, her eyes were a little dark, and she quickly sat down. After a long time, it can be regarded as a relief, "Thank you Yunxia." She reached out and touched her little sister's flushed face.
Yunxia looked at the beans in the basket on the ground, and then looked up at the pale face of the eldest sister, and her small mouth pursed, "Enough, go home." Brother come back and take it. With that, the villain took Yun Xue's hand and walked to the front yard.
Yun Xue looked at the little guy's appearance and felt interesting. Moreover, he was indeed a little tired, so he followed Yunxia and went around the back of the house and came to the front yard. Just as he was about to enter the house, he heard the neighing of horses at the door. Yun Xue felt a little strange and quickly looked up at the gate.
I saw a person walking in briskly from outside the door, and the person who came was dressed in a royal blue robe, but at this time it was covered with dust, and even the white jade-like face was gray and dusty. The man saw Yun Xue standing in the courtyard, stepped forward a few steps, and immediately hugged Yun Xue in his arms. "Cher."
Yun Xue was a little blindsided, she looked up at the face in front of her that should have been handsome and extraordinary, "Shen Gongzi? How did you get here? Let go of me, what are you like? Yun Xue felt strange, what is this Shen Hongjun doing? Why do you hug yourself as soon as you come in and don't let go? She felt uncomfortable and struggled hard.
"Don't move, let me hug you." Shen Hongjun hugged Yun Xue more and more hard, his voice was a little hoarse, and there was a hint of trembling. "I heard that you were seriously ill and unconscious, so I immediately came out of the capital, and two horses died along the way before I got here. I was relieved to see that you were safe and sound. ”
Yun Xue frowned, how could this scene have a feeling between lovers? I don't seem to have anything to do with this Shen Hongjun, right? Why did this guy come out with such a look? Yun Xue raised her head and wanted to ask clearly, but she shut up when she saw the stubble on Shen Hongjun's chin. In her memory, Shen Hongjun has always been a handsome and handsome boy, even if he was injured and saved by himself at that time, he could maintain his proper demeanor. But now, this guy has a beard, and it looks like he hasn't cleaned up his appearance for several days, and I've never seen such a sloppy look.
Yun Xue suddenly felt that something was blocked in her throat, making her unable to make a sound. His head was a little dizzy, and his body had no strength, so he had to lean on Shen Hongjun's body.
The two of them snuggled in the courtyard like this, neither of them spoke, and the sun shone on the two people, reflecting a halo of light.
"Let go, sister." A childish child's voice broke the silence in the courtyard. It turned out that Yunxia felt that something was wrong, and shouted loudly while tugging at Shen Hongjun's shirt with her hand.
Shen Hongjun let go of the arm that was tightly wrapped around Yun Xue, wrapped one hand around Yun Xue's waist, and turned to look at the little one in front of him. "Yunxia, do you remember me?" He laughed.
Yunxia tilted her head, thought for a moment, and shook her head again. She's just a three-year-old kid who has just passed her second birthday, where does she have such a good memory?
Yun Xue broke away from Shen Hongjun's big hand, then bent down and said with a smile, "You can call this person big brother." ”
Yunxia was as good as a stream, and immediately called out sweetly, "Big brother." ”
Shen Hongjun frowned slightly because of Yun Xue's departure, and when he heard Yun Xia's voice, he laughed, bent down and hugged Yun Xia. "Good little Yunxia." He turned his head to look at Yun Xue, "It seems that you haven't fully recovered yet." ”
"Well, it's a lot better, but I can't move for a long time, and I have to rest if I do some work." Yun Xue nodded, Shen Hongjun's abnormality just now was left behind by her, just as someone had just gone crazy. "Let's go, come into the house and sit, are you the only one here? No one else is following? ”
"It's all in the back, I'm in a hurry and let them follow behind. Do you have anything to eat? I am hungry. "Shen Hongjun didn't say anything, he just wanted to eat.
"Yes, come into the house, I'll give it to you." Yun Xue turned her head and entered the house. Meals are ready-made, and they only need to be heated. Yun Xue lit a fire, put all the food in the pot, and after a while, the pot was boiled.
Shen Hongjun hugged Yunxia and followed him into the house, and then put Yunxia on the kang in the east house and let her play by herself. Then Shen Hongjun came to the kitchen, "How can you get sick?" Haven't you always been in good health? ”
"Who can not get sick if a man eats whole grains? I'm not a fairy, so naturally I'll get sick. Yun Xue didn't look at him, lowered her head and added two pieces of firewood to the stove pit.
Shen Hongjun chuckled, "This is like you, you have been sick, but your temperament has not changed, and your teeth are sharp." In that tone, there was a different kind of flavor.
Yun Xue's heartbeat was suddenly a little abnormal, and she felt that Shen Hongjun's laughter was actually very pleasant. She took a deep breath before she said, "How is Yunlin?" Are you alright? "Let's change the subject.
Shen Hongjun squatted in front of Yun Xue, his deep eyes staring at Yun Xue's eyes, "Have you seen the letter I wrote to you?" Why didn't you write back to me? ”
didn't mention this, Yun Xue forgot about it, Yun Xue really didn't read the letter. The family was so busy that she casually put the letter aside. Yun Xue was a little weak-hearted, and she didn't dare to look at Shen Hongjun, so she turned her head.
"You can't just not watch it, do you?" As soon as Shen Hongjun saw Yun Xue's performance, he knew that he had guessed correctly. His thin lips pursed, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes. He took a deep breath, and finally suppressed the anger in his heart. "Why don't you watch it?"
"I, I forgot." Yun Xue was a little uncomfortable, this was really her own negligence, and in the face of Shen Hongjun at this time, Yun Xue felt a little lacking in confidence.
"Forget it, if you haven't read it, you haven't read it, now I'll tell you what is written in the letter. I told you to wait for me, understand? I've been so busy these days, and I've had a lot of things to do, so I'm writing to you and asking you to wait for me. There was a hint of eagerness in Shen Hongjun's voice, and there was also this kind of expectation. He shook Yun Xue's hand, "Will you wait for me for a while?" When I'm done dealing with these things, let me accompany you, let me be your dependent, and give you a stable life, okay? ”
Yun Xue felt that her face was a little hot, and the voice in her ears was so unreal. Are you dreaming? It must have hurt his brain from illness this time, otherwise how could he be dizzy and fantasize that Shen Hongjun would say these words to himself? It's not scientific at all, they've only seen it a few times, and they haven't had too deep contact. With Shen Hongjun's cold personality, how could he say such warm words to himself? It must be that the brain is burned out with a fever, it must be.
Yun Xue closed her eyes, shook her head vigorously, and then opened her eyes again, only to find that Shen Hongjun was still in front of her. "Hey, why are you still here? Am I not hallucinating? ”
Shen Hongjun laughed out loud, and couldn't help but reach out and hold Yun Xue in his arms again, "God, why didn't I find out, when you still have such a living treasure?" What were you just thinking? You don't think you're hallucinating, are you? Hahaha. Shen Hongjun smiled heartily, and the fatigue of the past few days had all dissipated at this moment.
Yun Xue leaned on Shen Hongjun's chest, thinking why was this scene so unreal? What the hell is going on, what does Shen Hongjun mean? Did he like himself, but he didn't show anything before? What the hell is going on here?
Yun Xue didn't know that she had already muttered all the thoughts in her heart.
Shen Hongjun naturally heard Yun Xue's murmur, he hugged Yun Xue tightly, but he didn't explain anything, just closed his eyes to savor the warmth of this moment.
"Eldest sister, is the meal ready? We're starving to death, it's too tiring to harvest the land. By the way, where did the horses come from? From outside the door, there was a shout of Yun Zhen.
The spell that surrounded the kitchen was broken, and Yun Xue came back to her senses at this time, and quickly struggled to leave from Shen Hongjun's arms. "The meal is ready, let's eat quickly."
