Famine and exile: I brought the Spirit Spring to save the entire Marquis's mansion.

In the moving carriage, Sang Ning leaned against the soft pillows, lost in thought.

Yu Cui and Yu Bai couldn't help but take a closer look.

Having only been there a day, they already knew the Fourth Madam's status. The two of them were extremely loyal and dared not slack off in the slightest. But unfortunately, the Madam was too easy to serve, so they had nothing to do!

"Are your legs sore, Madam? Let me massage them for you," Yu Cui said.

"Not sour!"

Yu Cui was startled.

"Uh, nothing, nothing, I didn't do anything, why would I feel sour? I'm not sour anywhere." Sang Ning's eyes flickered.

My legs don't really ache, it's just my lower abdomen that's a little sore.

It's shameful that she lost her mind so easily.

Just two...

But it really felt so good!

"Godmother, you look especially beautiful today," said Nianxi sincerely, her big eyes sparkling.

"Really?"

"Yes, your eyes seem watery and misty, especially... especially..." The little girl struggled to find the right words.

"It looks just like the moon reflected in the water."

The moon reflected in the water.

That's absolutely right.

That's it.

Yu Cui and Yu Bai smiled, pursing their lips.

Sang Ning coughed a few times, "I probably caught a chill last night, my nose is stuffy and I feel suffocated."

"Godmother, it's so hot in your room, how can you catch a cold? I even found a mosquito in there yesterday!"

"is it?"

"Yes, godmother... you got bitten on the neck by a mosquito!"

Nianxi suddenly widened her eyes and pointed at Sang Ning's neck: "You bit such a big piece!"

Oh dear, this little girl is just like Shao Songchen, such a chatterbox!

“I have medicine to reduce swelling,” she said, rummaging through her small bag.

Someone with a lot of experience said, "It looks like it was bitten by a tiger mosquito; those mosquitoes are very venomous."

Sang Ning covered her face.

Yu Cui quickly pursed her lips and took the ointment from Nian Xi's hand, then rubbed a little on her finger and applied it to Sang Ning.

Yu Bai then found a fox fur collar and put it on her.

"Ning'er." A familiar male voice came from outside the car.

Sang Ning rolled down the car window.

Huo Chang'an handed her a bag, examined her complexion, and then asked in a low voice, "Does your back hurt?"

Sour grapes my foot!

"Swish—" The car window rolled up.

That bag was heavy; it was filled with pine nuts!

"This is a rare item!"

So, everyone started eating pine nuts together.

Poor Feng Dali was secretly arranged to return to Xihua City, unaware that his treasured pine nuts had been confiscated.

The strange thing is that his luggage was placed together with Huo Jiangchu's. Huo Chang'an mistakenly gave Huo Jiangchu the wrong eggs, and when he opened it, it was full of pine nuts! One bag of whole pine nuts and one bag of cracked kernels.

I only realized it was Feng Dali's name when I saw the crookedly embroidered name on the clothes.

Knowing Feng Dali's character, he certainly didn't dare to accept the bribe.

He traded five eggs for a bag of pine nuts.

……

At midday, the army arrived at a spacious open field and rested.

It was too cold, and there was a heater in the car, so Sang Ning didn't want to get off.

The soldiers outside gathered in groups, took out pots, scooped out a little hot pot seasoning from earthenware jars, collected clean snow from the trees, and started boiling water, adding dried vegetables, and soaking bread in broth.

This was prepared by the cooking battalion at Sang Ning's request. It was convenient and warming on the march, and the soldiers all liked it.

Nianxi had already run to Jintang's car to play with him.

Yu Cui and Yu Bai also started cooking noodles in the car.

The soldiers outside were talking about something, repeatedly exclaiming, "Damn it! Damn it!"

Sang Ning was annoyed by what she heard, so she rolled down the car window and yelled, "Don't say that again!"

From now on, he'll only talk about his father, his grandfather, and his son!

The soldiers were so frightened that they all shrank back.

Huo Chang'an happened to be there and overheard everything, so he called all the generals together for a short meeting.

The gist is that although we are rough people, we want to be the most civilized rough people because we want to be the strongest team, the most popular team among the people, and a team unlike any other in history.

Please don't swear anymore.

Unable to hold back any longer, he did as the mistress suggested and cursed his father!

Anyone who violates this rule will be fined their military pay!

As these military regulations were promulgated layer by layer, the officers and soldiers fell silent.

Every family has military regulations, but ours has an unusually large number!

They control everything, from heaven to earth, and even how people are insulted.

But what can you do when they're an unprecedented team?

There are many military regulations, but the benefits are good! You can fill your stomach, wear enough cotton-padded clothes, receive your military pay on time, and get a lot of compensation if you die!

Then listen to me!

"Da da da--"

Several fast horses galloped from the horizon, their hooves pounding on the white snow.

In the vast expanse of heaven and earth, a splash of color has been added to the white world.

Soon, they arrived.

They were all covered in gray cloaks and face masks.

Only the person at the head of the group was wearing an indigo cloak.

Her figure is like bamboo, slightly slender, and even the thickest clothes do not make her look bulky, exuding an innate air of nobility.

After dismounting, he stood there for a while before walking towards Huo Chang'an.

"Brother Chang'an".

The moment he spoke, Huo Chang'an's sharp gaze softened.

He then frowned, because of his worry.

What are you doing here at this hour?!

Aren't you afraid of being discovered? That's ridiculous!

"Brother Chang'an, don't worry, I'm here on orders."

The person took off their hat and removed their face mask, revealing a fair, delicate, and slightly aloof face.

The sunlight shone on his face, giving it a soft golden glow, making him appear exceptionally peaceful and serene.

Huo Chang'an was surprised by what he said.

Surprisingly, it was very smooth, with a clear beginning and end, without any awkwardness or cutting corners.

"Wow, are you Xiao Yanzi?"

Huo Chang'an looked at Xiaoyu, who had also taken off her hat, and asked, "Is your young master's mouth working again?"

"Yes, Fourth Young Master, it worked."

Xiaoyu's mouth seemed to be malfunctioning, appearing somewhat dry.

Huo Chang'an gazed at the flowers in silence.

My mouth hadn't worked properly for over ten years, but after just one year, it's working again?

Huo Chang'an had a large tent set up and a stove lit.

Sang Ning also got off the carriage, and Jin Tang came over as well.

Hua Buyan kept staring at the tent entrance until no one else came in.

Sang Ning smiled and said, "Jingya is on a mission and is not in the military camp. If Your Highness is not in a hurry, you can wait for two days."

Hua Buyan withdrew his gaze.

Xiaoyu lowered her head and took the steaming hot noodles that Yu Cui handed her. "Young Master, have a bowl of noodles first to warm yourself up."

Sang Ning looked at the flowers without saying a word.

He seems to have changed, yet he seems to have remained the same; it's hard to say.

It's like a child growing up, but this growth is only on the surface; inside, the child is still innocent.

He just hid that innocence.

Huo Chang'an had also been observing him closely.

He was, of course, constantly receiving news from the capital.

As mentioned above, Hua Buyan began to act like a true young master from a prominent family, attending banquets and various other occasions.

Perhaps he is also forcing himself to grow up.

"Uncle Hua, this is your jade pendant. Jintang has been keeping it carefully, afraid of damaging it. Now I'm returning it to you."

Jintang took out the jade pendant that Hua Buyan had given him and gave it to him.

Hua Buyan didn't answer for a long time.

Xiaoyu looked at him, then tentatively put it away.

At this moment, everyone could feel the sense of loss emanating from Hua Buyan.

It's as if he's saying that everything he does is superfluous, because the Huo family doesn't need anything.
