Thinking that Cousin He is being punished now, Han Qixia bit her lower lip, her face was a little tangled, ashamed, self-blame, apologetic... all kinds of emotions intertwined. Cousin He left his post because he was worried about her and to save her, and it was because of her carelessness that he hurt Cousin He.
Han Qixia really wanted to intercede for Fu Yunhe, but she also knew the reason why military orders are like mountains, and she was afraid that she would make it difficult for Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi didn't see the worry in Han Qixia's eyes, but said casually: "Originally, it was supposed to be the stick of the ten army sticks, but the big battle is coming, so I owe it first, and let that kid sweep the stables for three days."
Xiao Yi said it lightly, but deliberately did not mention that the stables in Yanding City are of an unusual size, with thousands of war horses in them. Although it is impossible for Fu Yunhe to clean all the stables by himself, after cleaning all day, But it will never be an easy job, not to mention that he has directly let Fu Yunhe sleep in the stable these days.
Hearing that it was a stable sweep, Han Qixia breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved a little, but she was a little entangled when she thought that Cousin He still owed the Shijun stick. However, Cousin He has made several military exploits recently, so he should be able to redeem his merits by then, right? After all, it was all her fault!
Han Qixia's eyes were half-closed, and she thought to herself: After a few days, she has healed up from her injuries, and Cousin He has also received the punishment. She will go and make some snacks for Cousin He, and buy some of his favorite flat food for delivery.
Nangong Yue noticed Han Qixia's troubled face, and sighed secretly.
Yesterday, she felt that Han Qixia and Fu Yunhe seemed a little weird when they got along, but looking at it now, could it be that... they fell in love with each other
Thinking of this, she glared at Xiao Yi, and punished for punishment, but don't say it in front of Sister Xia, it makes Sister Xia worried, how bad it is.
Xiao Yi looked at her innocently, with a dazed expression on his face.
Didn't this guy see it? Nangong Yue couldn't help laughing, she blinked at him, signaled for a while to speak, and then said to Han Qixia: "Sister Xia, drink the chicken soup while it's hot. Grandfather, you too..."
After the four of them had dinner together, Nangong Yue urged Han Qixia to go to rest quickly, and stared at Lin Jingchen to tell him not to stay up late tonight. After getting his promise, she said goodbye and left with Xiao Yi.
Outside, the bright silver moon was already high in the night sky, illuminating the way forward for the two of them.
As soon as she left the yard, Nangong Yue couldn't help scolding: "Ah Yi, you also know that Ah He made a mistake in order to save Sister Xia, so why did you tell Sister Xia so much to make her upset!"
Xiao Yi said with an aggrieved face: "I'm already very tactful..." After speaking, he also said the half that he didn't say just now. He punished him like this because he wanted to give Xiao Hezi a chance to atone for his crimes. As a big brother, he was also worried about his younger brothers!
As Nangong Yue listened, she was already out of her wits, and couldn't help thinking about Han Qixia and Fu Yunhe. Both of them were close friends of her and Xiao Yi. Of course, she was happy to see the results. It is really inconvenient to go back to the capital because of his identity, and it is impossible for Fu Yunhe to stay in Southern Border forever...
Nangong Yue frowned slightly, she didn't dare to think about it any more, she could only tell herself that it was naturally straight from the bridge to the bow of the boat. Why should she bother.
During the words, the courtyard where Xiao Yi lived appeared in front of him.
After the two entered the room, Xiao Yi saw the two quilts on the bed at a glance, raised his eyebrows, and glared at Baihui and Huamei. These two maids must have warned him to follow him at night. Nangong Yue kept her distance.
snort! Is he such an impulsive person
Baihui and Huamei avoided Shi Ziye's sight as if nothing had happened. Although Shi Ziye might be unhappy, for Shi Zifei's sake, what should be reminded is still necessary. After all, their master is the imperial concubine... and the elder is at a vigorous age, one more reminder is never too much...
The two maids prepared water while cleaning the room, and quietly retreated.
In the past, as long as Xiao Yi was at home, there was no need for someone to stay on watch at night, but now of course it is.
After the two showered and changed their clothes separately, it was already late at night, Xiao Yi threw a thin quilt onto the armchair by the window without hesitation, and squeezed into the same bed with Nangong Yue.
The two spoke without a word, Xiao Yi's clear voice carried a strange rhythm, which made Nangong Yue relax and fell asleep unconsciously.
And the owner of the peach blossom eyes was still looking at her tenderly, reluctant to close them.
As Nangong Yue fell asleep, the room became quiet...
It wasn't until Nangong Yue was sound asleep that Xiao Yi tiptoed up.
Nangong Yue fell into a drowsy sleep, felt something vaguely, muttered a few words indistinctly, but was patted on the back by him a few times, coaxed in a low voice, and fell asleep again.
Until dawn, when she woke up, Nangong Yue realized that Xiao Yi was no longer by her side.
Nangong Yue was a little disappointed, unexpectedly, when she came to Yanding City, being so close to him made her miss him even more.
After eating breakfast, Nangong Yue was bored for a while, and asked Baihui to make a notice.
Masks have to be made as soon as possible.
Not long after, the notice was pasted on the bulletin board in front of the gate of the Garrison Mansion by the servants of the Garrison Mansion.
Afterwards, it attracted crowds of onlookers.
The order of Yanding City has gradually become orderly. Although it has not yet got rid of the sorrow of family ruin and death, people are alive, and life must go on.
These days, whenever there is any major event in Yanding City, the Garrison Mansion will post a special notice, such as when the city is going to distribute food, the people need to be recruited to build the Wengcheng, and the whole city is solicited to control the water and soil. Therefore, the common people are used to coming here to have a look from time to time, and today there is a new notice.
Most of the poor people were illiterate, so the Garrison Mansion specially invited an old scholar, and once there were new announcements, he would explain them one by one in front of the bulletin board.
The old scholar shook his head and said: "Women recruited by the garrison mansion are not limited to the age, and the number is not limited. There is a wage."
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and an old woman asked in puzzlement, "What is this for?"
Someone speculated: "Could it be to mend clothes for those military men?"
"you're right!"
"It must be like this!"
This seems to be the most likely guess, and everyone responded one after another:
"My mother-in-law's needlework is doing well, I'll let her try it later!"
"I'll make some too. There's absolutely nothing wrong with sewing."
"I'll go back and talk to my mother-in-law!"
…
It was the Southern Border Army who brought them a comfortable life. They always hoped to do something for the Southern Border Army, but it was just a small job of sewing, let alone wages, even if they didn't give them a penny, they would not shirk it. So, in less than half a day, dozens of women came to the defense mansion to sign up.
Most of them are elderly, and brides and girls who are in their prime seldom escape the catastrophe when the city is broken. Not only women are like this, but men are also like this. In the whole Yanding City, there are very few young and middle-aged men, and many families are one or two old people with one or two grandchildren to make ends meet.
The women were welcomed into the garrison and stood in the yard, looking around from time to time.
This was their first time entering the Garrison Mansion, and they had imagined how magnificent it would be inside, but now it seems that it is very simple, except for being bigger, it is not much different from other courtyards.
After waiting for a short time, they saw two pretty girls in blue bijars coming out accompanied by a little lady. She wears a skirt of the same color with borders, a bun with a cloud, and only a green jade hairpin inserted obliquely. It is very plain, but it is full of style.
They were just ordinary people, where had they seen such an overbearing lady, before they knew it, everyone fell silent.
"Aunts." Nangong Yue spoke first, and said in a clear voice, "I trouble you to come here today. Actually, there is one thing I need to ask for."
Nangong Yue winked, and Baihui took out the mask she made.
"This is what I need to trouble you to do." Nangong Yue explained gently with a smile on her face, "It is made of multiple layers of white gauze folded together and sewn together, with two hanging ears so that it can be worn on the face. With full coverage of the nose and mouth…”
Nangong Yue patiently explained one by one, while the women listened with half understanding.
At first, they thought that they were called here to mend the clothes of the officers and soldiers, but now... What kind of strange thing are they going to do
Who is this little lady
When did Yanding City have such an elegant lady...
