There is no such thing as a banquet in the world. It is late at night, and there are only cups and dishes left in Fenglelou. The young people have already dispersed, fighting for the last bit of warmth that they will stay for a while.
Inside the room, the beautiful woman folded her clothes one by one and packed them into a bag. The man who walked into the room saw them and snatched them away.
"Chengxiu, don't do these things." Yan He pulled her to sit down before the collapse. "You are pregnant now, so you should be more careful. What should you do if you are tired?"
Xia Chengxiu said, "I'm just pregnant, why do you have to say that?"
"Isn't it bad when you're pregnant?" Yan He made a fuss, "Anyway, there are people to do these rough jobs, you just need to take good care of yourself."
Xia Chengxiu was silent, "I just remembered that I made two new clothes before. You haven't had time to wear them, so I'll bring them together this time."
Yan He seldom returned to Shuojing in the past two years. Sometimes he left the capital before he even put on the new clothes that Xia Chengxiu prepared for him.
"I'm going to war, what do I do when I wear so good-looking clothes." Yan He said without thinking, "You don't have to take so much."
Xia Chengxiu fell silent.
When she didn't speak, Yan He was a little flustered. Before each expedition, what he was most afraid of was Xia Chengxiu's silence. Master Xia's daughter is gentle and strong. It's not that Yan He has never seen a military general go out on an expedition when he was a child, and his family cried and kept him, even his own mother. However, Xia Chengxiu was never like this, at most it was just like this, silent.
It's just this silence that can inspire more guilt and pity in his heart. As a military general, when the country is in trouble, it is incumbent on him. He has grown up to now, and he is worthy of the master of heaven and earth, but he only owes his wife, children, and children.
Yan He hesitated for a moment, took Xia Chengxiu into his arms, and sighed in a low voice, "Chengxiu, I've wronged you."
Xia Chengxiu was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "What kind of grievance is this? You went to Ji County to defend the territory of the Great Wei Dynasty. I was able to be peaceful in Beijing, didn't I also receive your protection?"
"But I..." Yan He frowned, "When you're pregnant, you can't be by your side."
It is a joy to have a child with Xia Chengxiu, but it is accompanied by regret and loss, worry and guilt.
"Since I married you, of course I expected such a day to come. If I complain to you, it would be hypocritical." Xia Chengxiu smiled, "The situation is critical, you are not in Shuojing, the little guy will understand. ."
Yan He looked at Xia Chengxiu's lower abdomen, covered it with the palm of his hand, and muttered in a low voice, "I don't know if it's the young master or the young lady..."
"Today, I heard you say that upstairs in Fengle, and I thought you didn't care." Xia Chengxiu smiled "pochi".
"I don't care if it's male or female, it's my Yan He's blood anyway."
"If it's your son, do you really want him to be a general like you?" Xia Chengxiu asked.
Yan He thought for a while: "I want him to be a military general, but if he doesn't like it and wants to do something else, that's fine. Besides, if our Mu Xia wants to learn martial arts, it's no problem. , isn't she also a woman? If we Mucha want to become the second Feihong general, I, the father, will definitely support. However, I am much better than the father of the He family. Granted, let her be better than General Feihong."
Xia Chengxiu stared at him, nodded and said, "Understood, you still like young lady."
Seeing that it was exposed, Yan He was not annoyed, and said, "That's right!"
Xia Chengxiu couldn't help laughing. After laughing, she leaned her head on Yan He's shoulder and said softly, "If... I mean if, when Mu Xia was born, it would be good to have you by your side."
Yan He was stunned, but once the battle starts, who can tell when it will end? Maybe we can catch up, maybe we can't catch up... He held Xia Chengxiu's hand: "I try my best, Chengxiu, I also want to see our child born with my own eyes. ."
…
It seems that the night in Shuojing is not as cold as it was a few days ago.
All the heaters in the room were removed. After He Yan took a bath, when he got to the bedroom, he saw Xiao Jue sitting at the table wiping his sword.
Yin Qiu was held by him, and the brilliance flowed. It didn't look like a sword, but some kind of rare treasure. It is hard to imagine that such a beautiful sword can sever the enemy's golden sword sharply on the battlefield, and split the opponent's arrow feathers into two sections in an instant.
He wiped the last bit of dust off the tip of the sword with silk and silk, and just as he put the sword in the sheath, he saw another sword slashed in front of him, accompanied by the laughter of the rogues around him: "Duke Xiao, wipe it for me too. ."
Xiao Jue glanced at her, and He Yan looked at him with a smile. After a while, he took it silently, took out the long sword, and really helped her to start wiping the sword.
He Yan took advantage of the situation and sat down at the table.
Qinglang and Yinqiu were two completely different swords. It stands to reason that women's swords should be light and agile, but Qing Lang is very heavy, even if it is held by a man, it is by no means easy. The body of the sword is green and simple, at first glance a little ordinary, but when you look closely, it is very different. Just like the master of the sword.
He Yan raised his cheeks and looked at the young man in front of him.
He also just took a bath, and he only wore a jade-colored tunic inside. He casually put on an outer garment. He was not very well-dressed. The coldness and contradictions are mixed together, which makes people more and more unable to take their eyes off.
Xiao Jue noticed He Yan's straight eyes and asked, "What are you looking at?"
"I was thinking," He Yan made no secret of it, "Your face is indeed worthy of the title of 'Jade-faced Governor'."
When a general can be made to look like this, it is really an insult to other generals.
Xiao Jue twitched the corner of his mouth.
It's strange that he doesn't like others talking about his appearance. Judging people by appearance is a superficial thing. However, when He Yan compliments his appearance directly, he is not disgusted, and even quite useful. Xiao Jue will sometimes reflect on whether she has become superficial, so she will be happy about it.
He Yan waited for him to finish wiping Qing Lang, put the sword in the scabbard, stood up, and hung the two swords on the wall.
Xiao Jue was hugged from behind just after hanging up his sword.
He Yan very much likes to hold him like this, like a child sticking to an adult. Maybe it's because she's too short, or maybe it's not that He Yan is short, but that Xiao Jue was born too tall. In short, whenever she threw her arms around Xiao Jue's waist like this, her expression was pure happiness, and this happiness would make those who looked at them couldn't help but feel a little bit of warmth in their hearts.
"Hero," the young man stood still, with a teasing smile in his voice, "are you going to strangle me?"
A disapproving voice came from behind her, "I haven't tried my best yet, Governor Xiao, why are you so weak?" After that, she reached out and touched his waist.
Xiao Jue: "... He Yan."
He Yan touched the sachet on his waist, pulled it over, held it in his hand and said, "Xiao Jue, is this how you promote my female celebrity everywhere?"
Xiao Jue turned around, looked at the sachet in her hand, and raised her eyebrows slightly: "It seems to be 'mine'."
He Yan was speechless.
She didn't find it originally, but when she left today, Lin Shuanghe said to her, "Sister He, what's the matter with that ugly sachet on Huai Jin's body? He is also the second son of the Xiao family, and wearing such ugly accessories is really ugly. A little. Since you are his wife, you should pay attention to it occasionally."
He Yan "pays attention" for a while, but it's okay if he doesn't pay attention, but when he pays attention, he's really angry and funny.
Previously, Bai Rongwei gave Xiao Jue a peace amulet, which was placed in the sachet. At that time, out of some secret thoughts, He Yan embroidered a moon in the sachet. To be honest, the moon was not really pretty. But it was her heart after all. Right now, Xiao Jue should have discovered the secret. But when he found it, he found it. He turned the sachet over and turned the embroidered side over. What happened
Anyone who sees it will only think that this is an ugly sachet.
"You didn't tell them I embroidered it, did you?" He Yan said nervously, "It's so ugly, it's definitely not my embroidery!"
Xiao Jue smiled: "Oh, I just told them that it was embroidered by my wife."
He Yan's heart was ashes.
She returned the sachet to Xiao Jue: "It's random, it's embarrassing anyway. But you really don't feel ugly when you wear it on your body?"
This is like the elegant son Lin Shuanghe holding an iron hoe as a decoration. Ugly is second, mainly because it doesn't match.
"Is there?" Xiao Jue re-fastened the sachet to the matching button of the outer garment, "I think it's not bad."
He Yan thought to himself, could being blind be contagious
He turned around and looked at He Yan, "When I got to Yunzi, I saw it as if I saw you."
He Yan: "...Are you saying that I'm ugly?"
He was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and said leisurely: "Your thoughts are always different from ordinary people."
He Yan also laughed, how was she different from ordinary people, but she was leaving for the night, and she didn't want to make the atmosphere sad. When people face parting, they are always very vulnerable and sad, but she just doesn't want it. If she knows her purpose is ahead and she knows where she is going, then she will walk forward with great strides and style.
The so-called weakness, the other side is the armor.
"Xiao Jue, can you promise me one thing?" she asked.
"What's up?"
"Jiuchuan and Yunzi are not in the same direction. When they fight, it will take time for you and me to communicate with each other. I used to be alone, and I have no worries, but now you and my husband and wife are one. I want you Promise me, if there is news, no matter what it is, do what you need to do, don't affect the overall situation, don't stop." She looked at the man in front of her, "Keep going."
No one can guarantee the outcome of the war.
She is also the first time to go out with her sweetheart. There is no way for a person to be distracted. When a general is on the battlefield, all his energy can only be used on the battlefield and the enemy in front of him. Every distraction is a taboo. At that time, the titles of husband, son, and father were all discarded. Those on the battlefield were either soldiers or generals, and that was it.
Of course, so did she.
"This sentence also applies to myself," He Yan said, "No matter what I encounter, no matter what I hear, I will lead my troops forward, and I will not retreat or stay for anything."
The girl's eyes were sparkling, and she seemed to be a little apologetic. She hesitated, "You might think I'm ruthless..."
"I promise you." Xiao Jue interrupted her.
He Yan was stunned.
Xiao Jue said, "You also promise me one thing."
"… What's up?"
He leaned over slightly and gently placed a kiss on He Yan's forehead.
"Come back alive."
…
The early spring sun shone through the newly cut window grilles, and the sun was cut into small beams of light, which sprinkled little by little on the ground in the yard.
A tall guard walked in from outside, carrying a burden in his hand. It was time to leave Beijing to fight, and the original "guards" should also go back to the Nine Banners Camp and go to Yunzi with them.
A petite figure was sweeping the floor in the yard, Chiwu stood behind the girl, hesitated for a while, wondering if she should call out to her.
It stands to reason that he "lived" in He's family for a while before. Although it didn't play a role and helped He Yan almost to nothing, he also became friends with Qingmei, He Yan's personal maid. Even Chiwu once thought that he had a good relationship with Qingmei. You must know that he was so old, and it was the first time that he was called around by a woman, and it was probably the attitude of the other party that he should have been affected. It has been a long time. , Chiwu also thinks this seems to be appropriate.
It's just that after He Yan married into the Xiao family, Qingmei hid when she saw him, like he was the god of plague. Chiwu was puzzled in his heart, but it was not easy to pull a little girl and ask him to understand, and there were too many things later, so he didn't see Qingmei a few times.
It's just that I left today, I'm afraid I won't be able to see this little maid for a long time, Chiwu is hesitating, should I go up to say hello or not, it's counted as farewell.
He hadn't thought about it yet, when the green plum on the other end turned around and saw Chiwu, he was stunned for a moment, and said, "Chiwu guard?"
"Oh... I'm leaving." Chiwu scratched his head, "Just passing by." After that, he didn't know what to say, so he planned to turn around and leave.
"Wait!" Qingmei stopped him, took out a cloth bag from the stone table next to it and stuffed it into Chiwu's arms, "You came just in time, if you don't come, I can only ask the young lady to hand it over to you. already."
"What is this?" Chi Wu was taken aback.
"The young lady said that Yunzi is close to the sea, and it is very humid. I made a pair of boots, and the bottoms are a little harder to keep out the water. The craftsmanship is not good, so you should just wear them." She emphasized again: "Even if Thank you for helping me clean the yard earlier!"
boots? Chiwu looked down at the cloth bag in his arms, feeling a little strange.
Seeing that he was still there, Qingmei said with her hands on her hips, "Aren't you leaving yet? Are you afraid that the young master will serve you if you are late?"
Only then did Chiwu come back to his senses, hesitated for a moment, said "thank you", and turned to leave.
Qingmei called him again: "Hey!"
"What else?" Chiwu asked.
She grabbed the broom next to her, turned and walked into the yard, throwing a sentence as she walked, "Knives and arrows have no eyes, be careful yourself!"
Chiwu looked at her back, coughed lightly, and seemed to want to laugh, but held back, stuffed the cloth bag into his arms, and strode away.
…
Outside the city gate, it was already crowded with people watching the lively and family members who had come to see them off.
Beside Xiao Jing, Bai Rongwei grabbed He Yan's hand and told her to be careful. He handed another precious and precious peace talisman to her, and said, "This is from the master of Yuhua Temple, and I asked for two in total. One for you and one for Huaijin. Ah He ," she said: "I know you have a righteous heart, but... you must also protect yourself."
He Yan hung the sachet with the safety talisman and the black jade on his waist, and said with a smile, "I know, sister-in-law."
"Yan Yan, don't worry, go to Jiuchuan, Dad is at home waiting for you to come back!" He Sui waved at her arrogantly, trying to make a dashing appearance, but her eyes turned red unconsciously.
He Yan's eyes also got a little wet.
He Yunsheng didn't say anything, but when He Yan walked up to him, he finally couldn't help but grit his teeth and reminded: "He Yan, what you said yourself, it's better to do what you say."
"I know I know," He Yan nodded hastily: "You must come back alive, don't worry." She touched He Yunsheng's head again: "When I'm not here, the He family will take care of you, Yunsheng. "
He Yunsheng: "Don't worry."
Three words, said loud and clear.
He Yan couldn't tell what she felt in her heart. Every time she went to the battlefield in the previous life, she was alone. Now that she has so many ties, she didn't feel restrained, on the contrary, she was full of strength.
He Xinying also came today, hid in the crowd, and was discovered by He Yan. She hesitated, then stood up and handed the burden in her hand to He Yan.
He Xinying said, "You're a woman. How inconvenient is it to be in the army? Here are some clothes I made with my own hands. You can use them."
He Yan smiled: "Thank you, Xinying, you are really thoughtful."
He Xinying pursed her lips, "You go to the battlefield, that's all I can do. Sister," she whispered, "You must return safely."
He Yan winked at her, "Don't worry, when I come back, I will buy you the most beautiful jewelry in exchange for military merit!"
He Xinying was amused by her words. On the other side, Yan He urged at the city gate: "Marquis of Wu'an, what are you still doing? Go!"
"Come here—" He Yan said as he walked over and got on his horse.
On his side, Xiao Jue was dressed in valiant military uniform, with a long sword on his waist, and rode side by side with her.
Xia Chengxiu was supported by the maid and looked at the figure walking out of the city with the troops and horses, until she could no longer see it, she gently stroked her lower abdomen and whispered: "Mu Xia, say goodbye to your father soon. already."
Cheng Lisu ran out with his family on his back. He was hiding in the crowd at the moment, and asked Song Taotao, who also sneaked out beside him: "You said, when will they come back?"
Rarely, the little girl was not impatient with his questioning, and only said, "I don't know." After a while, she slowly continued, "However, I hope each of them can come back."
The city gate was wide open, and under the sun, the wind blew the grass and trees slightly, and the troops and horses marched forward, like a winding dragon, rushing to the battlefield without fear.
The flag flutters, and the mighty vibrates thousands of miles.
