"Okay."

"There is a lot of luggage, the carriage and horses travel slowly, and you can't catch the post station at noon to eat on the road, if you want to get out of the car and walk, shout." Han Ji came here to say this.

Get out of the car and take a walk, it is the urge to pee, and Haizhu reacted and responded again.

Waiting for the sound of the horse's hooves to leave, Haizhu and the maid lay down again, and the maid stepped on the water bladder and whispered: "The slave maid has been in the house for eight years, and it is the first time I have seen the second young master be so attentive to a girl." ”

"It's time to be careful, I saved his life." Haizhu seems to be unconscious, this body is still immature, and she has no heart to fall in love. Finally blended into the current family, and she didn't want to bother to blend in with another completely unfamiliar family. As long as Han Ji doesn't speak, she shouldn't know, when she returns to Guangnan, he stays in Fucheng, she returns to Yongning, the two don't meet often, and when they meet, they get along as before.

The carriage traveled until noon, and after the car stopped, the accompanying family would unload the luggage and set up the camp tent neatly, and the man carried the utensils into the camp tent to dig a pit and bury the stove for cooking.

Haizhu put on a thick cotton jacket, and put on a heavy wolf fur cloak to help the maid get out of the car, she now understands why everyone needs someone to help her when she walks, dressed like a stone grinder, her arms and legs are bound, and then a cloak that is warmer than the quilt, she is strong to be able to open her legs.

"Haizhu, come here." Mrs. Hou shouted, and she helped the maid to the camp tent in the distance, where a toilet was placed, which was used for the female relatives to change clothes.

The snow under her feet was not up to her ankles, stepping on a pit, Haizhu stepped on the snow that no one had walked on with great interest, she pulled up her cloak, did not let the maid help her, and said: "You stay away from me, don't step on the footprints I have walked." ”

She focused on one foot at a time, walked to the tent and turned around to look at the snow she was walking through, and when she turned around, she saw Han Ji looking at her with her hands behind her back, he didn't dodge, he didn't look away, Haizhu simply glanced at him.

When she came out of the tent, she bent down on the ground and grabbed two handfuls of snow into a lump.

"The girl is about to throw it away, how cold it is." The maid took the cloak and put it on her, "You are still drinking medicine, the doctor told you not to touch the cold water, you forgot?" ”

"Don't be verbose, there is no snow in Quang Nam all year round, you take advantage of the past few days to see more snow." Another old lady came over, Haizhu took the maid to a distance, she rolled up her sleeves and squatted down to roll a snowball, heard footsteps and ran over, turned her head and saw that it was Han Ji's little nephew, she opened her mouth and asked: "Long life, how old are you?" ”

"Six."

"I have a younger brother about your age, but not as tall as you." She looked at him with a cloud of snow, "Did your grandmother let you play in the snow?" ”

Changsheng nodded, he squatted down to make a snowball with Haizhu, and said like a little adult: "We martial arts practitioners are not afraid of heat in summer and cold in winter." ”

Han Ji turned around and walked over, he also took off his sheepskin gloves and followed the snowball, and the three of them worked together to build a half-human-tall snowman.

"What do you mean you just rolled your eyes at me?" Han Ji lowered his eyes and asked.

Haizhu glanced at the child and couldn't help but speak.

Han Ji still wanted to ask again, so he heard his mother's "oops", and Mrs. Hou, who had always been gentle, walked over and slapped Haizhu first, "How did the imperial doctor explain?" Don't let you touch the cold water, you come to play in the snow? ”

After that, he punched Han Ji again, "And you, Haizhu's illness is just right, and you won't stop her from playing in the snow?" ”

Han Ji glanced at Haizhu and said, "Mother, you will know when you go to Guangnan, you can't stop her from touching the cold water, she will go out to the sea to fish." Anyway, I can't help it, it's better to have a good time, Guangnan doesn't snow all year round, and it's the first time Haizhu has seen snow when it's so big. ”

Haizhu nodded, "Yes, yes." ”

Mrs. Hou glared at her, "Have you forgotten what the Imperial Doctor said?" ”

"I haven't forgotten, but I love it." Haizhu smiled, "I'm not afraid that I won't be able to have children, so I don't plan to have children." ”

Except for a six-year-old child who didn't understand what this meant, everyone else frowned, Han Ji looked at Haizhu twice, and asked, "What does this have to do with having a child?" ”

Mrs. Hou sighed and told him the words of the imperial doctor, "You girl, I originally planned to go to Guangnan to stay in the house for you, and a maid will do everything for you, so you can take care of your body." ”

"That's not good, I can't live like this, I'll suffocate to death." Haizhu hurriedly refused, "Mother-in-law, I know you have good intentions, but I have my life to live, and I have long intended not to have children, and my body is not conducive to the heir, which is exactly what I want." She took the opportunity to express her attitude in front of the mother and son, if she couldn't accept this, he would give up his thoughts as soon as possible, and don't come to provoke her.

"You ......" Mrs. Hou's face was entangled, she glanced at Han Ji, the girls on the beach are so... Daring? Wild?

Han Ji looked at Haizhu and thought about it, thinking that it might be that she took on the responsibility of her mother too early, and became a "mother" before she reached the age of marriage, so she gave up the idea of having children.

His lips moved, and he said, "When the meal is ready, let's go to eat, and after eating we should hurry to the post station as soon as possible, and arrive at the post station before dark." ”

Mrs. Hou: ......

She wanted to say something more, but was forcefully pushed away by Han Ji, and when she entered the camp, she told the old lady to boil a pot of ginger soup and share it with everyone.

As soon as they heard the word ginger soup, Han Ji and Haizhu and the old housekeeper were all cold.

"Miss Qi, Mrs. asked the old slave to pour you a bag of ginger soup and send it, you were thirsty on the way to drink two more sips, sweat, and force the cold out." The old lady handed the water bladder to the maid and secretly gave her a look, but she could stop the sea pearl and don't let her touch the snow again.

The carriage moved, and Haizhu leaned on the pillow and unscrewed the water bladder and sniffed and sniffed.

"Girl, what are you smelling?" The maid asked.

"Nothing." Haizhu screwed the water bladder and handed it to the maid, the ginger soup tasted chong, even the dog couldn't smell anything wrong with the medicine, Han Ji and the guards on the boat couldn't be said to be defenseless, they drank ginger soup every day when it was cold, and no one expected that the ginger soup that night was mixed with medicine.

On the carriage in front, Han Ji hugged his father for his long life, he changed his shoes and sat in his mother's carriage, and said in a low voice: "Don't force her about Haizhu, she is suffering, her father died last year, and her mother remarried within a month, leaving her a pair of younger siblings, one is five or six years old, and the other is in her teens." In addition, her second uncle is paralyzed, and there is a son who can't walk, since the end of last year, this family has lived with her, her second uncle's injury is her worry about treatment, and her three younger siblings are also her raising. Haizhu, the eldest sister, can be regarded as having the heart of being a mother, the three children run under her nose every day, she estimates that she has had enough of the addiction of raising children, and she is tired of it, so she doesn't want to give birth. ”

"How old is she now? Do you regret it later? Mrs. Hou shook her head, "This girl's life is really bitter." ”

"She's just a little harder, her life isn't hard, but now it's not hard, her family is lively, and her younger brothers and sisters like her." Han Ji's tone was brisk, he said with unconsciously joy and faint admiration: "Mother, don't look at Haizhu's young age, she has gone through hardships, she is a very sober and assertive girl, she is decisive and bold and knows the importance of things, and more importantly, she is content and happy, does not admire power and wealth, can withstand wind and rain, and can endure the plain, she will not regret the decision she made herself." ”

Mrs. Hou stared at him meaningfully, she knew what kind of character her adopted son was, and such a comprehensive understanding of a girl was by no means a whim.

Han Ji didn't get a response, he looked up, and met his mother's knowing eyes, his eyes moved, and he lowered his eyes in acquiescence.

"Hmph." Mrs. Hou sneered angrily, "I'm afraid that the girl didn't care about you." ”

Han Ji raised his eyes in surprise, "So you don't object?" If you don't object, I'll chase it. ”

"If I object to you, you will stop?"

Han Ji smiled, "That's not it. ”

"The grace of saving your life, repay it with your body, Haizhu is to save your body from the cold, a girl soaked in the biting river water all night, even if she didn't mean it, you should also be responsible." When she heard the imperial doctor say that it was not good for the heir, the first thought in her mind was that if she got through the difficulty, she would let Haizhu enter her house and prevent her from suffering for the rest of her life.

"If it was ten years ago, I would not be happy, but your eldest brother died before he was twenty years old, this time you and your father almost died, and you showed up in front of the lord of Hades, I also thought about it, how can a person live, no one can say for sure, power and wealth, ancestral glory, these are all face-saving jobs, and people are the best to be happy. As for the heirs, your grandfather, your great-grandfather, I'm afraid I can't imagine that your father's lineage is almost extinct, the next generation, the next generation, that's not what we should worry about. Mrs. Hou twisted the Buddhist beads and looked ahead through the car door, and continued: "We left Beijing, and I was worried that the one on the dragon chair would not let us go. ”

"As for me and your father, we also have grandchildren to raise, and we are not lonely under our knees." Mrs. Hou laughed, she kicked Han Ji and said, "Mother wishes you what you want." ”

Chapter 131: When to Move

On a snowy night, Han Ji and his entourage entered the town, and the snowy and frozen official flag was erected on the roof of the carriage. The post man and the post guard of the post station got the letter and hurriedly ran out, seeing that it was An Yuanhou's carriage passing by, and the enthusiasm and respect on the faces of the post man and the post guard instantly became sincere.

"But there are still spare courtyards?" The family will dismount and ask.

"Yes, the small ones are going to burn the dragons."

Han Ji got off the carriage in the back, he walked to the first carriage, the door opened, he leaned over and picked up his father and carried the quilt out of the carriage.

"Lead the way." He gestured to the postman.

Whispers sounded in the crowd on the side, Haizhu raised her eyes and followed Mrs. Hou into the post station.

There is a courtyard in the backyard of the post station, according to the grade, An Yuanhou and his party lived in the most spacious courtyard, the maid and the grandmother put down their luggage and began to pack, the bedding on the bed was replaced with the one they brought, the tea cups and chopsticks were also used on the road, and the incense burner was removed and replaced with the one brought from Beijing.

Haizhu sat on the chair and looked dumbfounded, she was not surprised that Mrs. Hou was exquisite, she was surprised that it was the strength of these maids and grandmothers, with a pillar of incense, they cleaned up the three rooms and felt like home.

Han Ji took the shovel to sweep the snow falling on the cart, and the horse pulling the cart was tired, and the post man carried hay, brought warm water, and finally took out the best bean cakes to feed the horses.

"Young General, go and rest, leave these chores to the little ones to do the work." The postman stepped forward to speak.

Han Ji took out a few dimes of broken silver and gave it to him, saying, "Feed these horses more good, and add a few more warm water at night." ”

"No, no, no, the little ones don't want that." The postman waved his hand and did not accept the silver he gave, "You go and rest, this is what the little one should do." ”

Han Ji glanced at him and withdrew his hand.

"The little one is going to get a doctor? Is Master Hou okay? ”

"It's okay, there is a doctor with you."

"That's fine, that's fine." The postman breathed a sigh of relief, bowed down again and said, "You go and rest, it's cold outside, and the earth dragon is burning in the house to keep it warm." ”

The night was already dark, the sky was dark, Han Ji carried the lantern back to the yard and saw the post man sweeping the snow on the road, he waved his hand and said, "Don't be busy, go down." ”

When she entered the door and heard Haizhu's voice, she stood at the door and looked at the sky and said: "The night in our Guangnan is beautiful, as long as it is not a rainy day, the sky is full of stars, and there are shooting stars in summer, and they fall into the sea with a swish." ”

"Falling into the sea? Don't be fooled by me. Mrs. Hou didn't believe it.

"Then how can it, you will know when you go, stepmother, Chang'an does not see the sea, it is not strange that you don't know." Haizhu said seriously.

Han Ji laughed, Mrs. Hou looked over when she heard the sound, and asked aloud: "Look at you and say, did she lie to me?" ”

Haizhu looked over with a smile.

Han Ji glanced at her, nodded and said, "She didn't tell a lie, on a good night, there are thousands of stars on the sea, as well as the moon." ”

Mrs. Hou reacted now, she glanced at Haizhu, "You ghost girl, I was almost fooled by you." ”

"He doesn't understand, it's not the same thing as me, the sky on our beach is connected to the sea, and the meteor glides across the night sky, and at the end it falls into the sea." Haizhu looked at the child who was listening carefully, and said firmly: "Our children on the beach know it, you go and ask a random child, they have all seen it." ”

Changshou was skeptical, he glanced at his second uncle and said, "I don't ask, I'll see the meteor next summer." ”

Han Ji laughed twice, he picked up Changsheng and turned it upside down, and said, "Good boy." ”

"Madam, Mama is here with food." The maid guarding the door said.

"Let's go eat first." Mrs. Hou took the lead and walked outside.

Han Ji put down his nephew and patted him, and asked Haizhu when he left: "Do you eat steamed apples?" I asked, and there were only apples in the inn. ”

"Second uncle, I'll eat." Longevity interjected.

"Got it." Han Ji glanced at Haizhu and said, "There are yours too, you eat and then sleep." ”

Looking at people under the lamp, ugly people can also be beautiful, Han Ji stood in the dim light and shadow, his handsome facial features were more three-dimensional, Haizhu stared at it with admiration, nodding inexplicably.

Han Ji sat at the dining table and ate, he suddenly realized, the chopsticks in his hand were stunned, and he lowered his eyes thoughtfully.

After dinner, they went back to their respective rooms, and after Han Ji went to see his father, he went to the kitchen to bring medicine and steamed apples to Haizhu, knowing that she hadn't slept yet, he coughed and walked in directly.

Haizhu saw the steaming bowl with a bitter taste, her face instantly collapsed, she sighed in disgust, and said, "I've already said that, I don't think I need to drink medicine anymore." ”

"This is a warm medicine, there are a lot of nourishing herbs in it, which is good for the body, not just to ward off the cold." Han Ji handed over the bowl and said, "You eat a lot but don't grow meat, your body is cold, and your heart, liver, spleen and stomach are affected. ”

The last sentence was full of temptation, Haizhu took the medicine bowl and drank it in one gulp, just put down the bowl and handed a small half bowl of apple juice at the moment, she took a sip and drank it all, and the bitter taste on her tongue was washed away. She took the steamed apple, tore the skin and bit the fluffy pulp.

Han Ji handed the bowl to the maid, he didn't bother her much, and went out again without saying anything.

Arranged for the night watchman, he took the quilt and went to his father's house to sleep on the floor.

"Go back to your own room and sleep, I'll have someone to guard here." Admiral Han said.

"I'm not at ease, I am not at ease before I get on the boat." The room was burning and it was not cold to open half of the window, he spread out the mattress and took off his robe, and lay down with a thin cotton clip covering the quilt, "You are not feeling well, go to bed early, worry less, and listen to my arrangement this way." ”

"Okay, I'll listen to your arrangement." Admiral Han chuckled, he turned sideways and asked, "I heard your mother say ......"

"Yes." Han Ji generously admitted.

"When did you move your mind? Before I take her as a righteous daughter? ”

"It should be after." Han Ji didn't know exactly which day he had moved his mind, and when he noticed his thoughts, he couldn't help but want to see her. The first thought of going west from Fucheng was that he wanted to go ashore to see her when he passed by Yongning Wharf, there were so many wharves along the coast, he only heard "Yongning" and "Hui'an" when he was shocked, on the way to patrol the village, he would stay in Qijiawan for a while, and he would take a few more glances when he passed by the river that entered the sea.
