A good little husband

The weather is getting colder and colder every day. Even though it has only been four or five days, the temperature has dropped like a cliff. Suiyu has changed from a quilted jacket to a thick padded jacket. Fortunately, Chunniang made a lot of thick clothes for him in advance. clothes, so that he will not spend this winter in the futon.It's just that those cotton clothes are too heavy, and it's difficult for Suiyu to walk in them, so the time to go out is much less.

Chun Niang was packing their luggage for Yunxi. Usually, when Lin Muqing went, he would randomly pack some clothes and dry food, but this time with Suiyu, he was naturally much more careful.

Chunniang even packed a piece of white fox fur at home: "Yunxi is much colder than here." Saying that, Chunniang put another thick cotton-padded coat into the bag, "Quickly enter It’s winter, but don’t get sick.”

Thinking of something again, Chunniang grabbed Suiyu's hand and looked at it, only to see that the hands were thin, white and slender: "Don't let your hands get hurt, if there is a wound, it is easy to get frostbite."

"Ah Qing, you have to take good care of Xiao Yu'er. If he loses a hair when he comes back, I will settle the score with you."

This time when going out, Lin Muqing actually got into a carriage, and then Suiyu saw Lin Wanqiu on the other side of the carriage. He was wearing a bright-colored cotton padded jacket with fine stitching, which fit him well, but his face was half covered by a cloth scarf. His dark eyes were outside, which didn't match the bright clothes on him.He quickly moved his eyes away after seeing Suiyu, and then climbed into the carriage silently.

Suiyu originally wanted to take the carriage, but when he saw Lin Wanqiu sitting in it, and saw that besides Lin Wanqiu, there were neatly piled medicinal herbs in the carriage, he stood in front of Lin Muqing's horse.

After thinking about it, he gave up, and finally climbed onto the front of the carriage, neither sharing the same room with Lin Wanqiu nor riding with Lin Muqing. When Lin Ping came to drive the carriage, he saw Suiyu sitting on the other side Dazed for a moment, under Lin Muqing's gaze, he said: "Let Brother Qing drive the carriage, I'll go ride the horse."

Lin Muqing seemed to have been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and immediately handed over the reins in his hand to Lin Ping, and then quickly jumped into the carriage.

Suiyu pretended not to see it, and only looked at the surrounding scenery after the carriage left the mountain.

On the way from Anle Town, Yunnan to the border of Yunxi, Suiyu experienced another kind of southern scenery.

Although it is cold on the mountain, the green plants on the mountain are always lush and lush, and the green in the cold wind is extraordinarily vibrant, and Yunxi Yunben is only separated by a stretch of mountains. To Yunxi, it is just There was a vast expanse of white, and even the trees on the mountain had only bare trunks.

"Lin Muqing, why is it so much colder here than at home?" Suiyu only felt that breathing was a kind of torture. The cool air entered the lungs from the nasal cavity, and then the coolness came out from the limbs and bones. The clothes are gathered together.

"The house is surrounded by mountains, so many cold winds can't blow in. Yunxi is open on all sides, and the wind comes from all directions." Lin Muqing slowed down the driving speed a little, and after thinking about it, he still held back the idea of ​​touching Suiyu's hand. "Go and sit in the carriage, it's too cold outside. But fortunately, we can arrive in another day."

Suiyu shook his head, put his hand to his mouth and breathed, Lin Muqing's Adam's apple rolled, and there was no other movement after all.

Normally, it only takes four days for him to travel from Yunbei to Yunxi at a fast pace. This time, he took Suiyu and Lin Wanqiu with him, and the speed slowed down a lot. at night.

They didn't live in the barracks, but went to find Xiang Zhi who had already been here before.

"It's too cold here. I followed their soldiers around the camp several times a day, but I was still too cold."

There is a hot pot on the table, and under the pot are burning coal balls, and the lamb meat unique to Yunxi is cooked in it: "You don't know, Captain Zhong has been training like crazy these days. The recruits, it is said that after this winter, there will definitely be a big battle."

"It has nothing to do with us. After meeting Captain Zhong, I took Xiao Yuer for a walk around, and then we went back to prepare for the winter and the New Year." This is no different from every year in the past. Before the mountain was closed by the heavy snow in the west, I went to the military camp to deliver the last supply of medicinal materials and mountain products. I will go out of the mountain again in the spring of the next year.

"When will the delivery person arrive?" Xiang Zhi asked, "Lieutenant Zhong waited very anxiously."

"Maybe it will be later, I'll bring some over here first." Lin Muqing picked up another chopsticks of mutton for Suiyu. When cooking at home, he always disliked the smell of mutton. Today he saw that Suiyu picked up several chopsticks. I like it.

"In winter, you should eat more mutton. Lamb is hot in nature and won't be afraid of the cold."

It is rare for Lin Muqing to cook something that is not tasty. When Suiyu ate the mutton made by Lin Muqing for the first time, he vomited it out, which frustrated Lin Muqing for a while. Ask the master chef in the kitchen to see how this pot is made.

"Is Wanxia willing to let you send Xiaoqiu here?" Xiang Zhi glanced at Lin Wanqiu who was sitting in the corner. He had been silent since he saw Xiangzhi, but when he saw Suiyu, Will subconsciously look away.

Lin Muqing glanced at him: "He should get some experience, otherwise he will stay on the mountain all the time, he won't even be able to tell the basics of right from wrong, black from black, and will only play boudoir tricks all day long."

Because Lin Ping was also with him, Suiyu also acquiesced in Lin Muqing's move to open a room.

After entering the house, Suiyu began to pack up the bed. Fortunately, because it was winter, the inn provided more quilts, so he stacked the quilts neatly on the floor and made a floor bed. Lin Muqing saw that he wanted to make a bed by himself. When you go in, grab him quickly.

"It's so cold, how can you sleep on the floor." Without any explanation, he pushed Suiyu onto the bed, "I sleep on the floor."

Suiyu was not polite, she took off her shoes and socks and got into the bed, with her back to Lin Muqing, leaving only the back of his head.

Lin Muqing sighed, and lay down on the floor bunk some distance away from the bed.

There was a stern north wind at night, and the charcoal basin had already been extinguished in the middle of the night. Seeing that Suiyu on the bed had shrunk into a ball, Lin Muqing hugged a quilt from her body to cover Suiyu, and then arrived with eyes open. dawn.

He got up very early, and before leaving, he whispered to Follow Yu that he was going out, and he didn't know if he heard it. Before leaving, he asked Xiao Er to add a new charcoal basin, and then he walked out of the inn.

Xiang Zhi and Lin Ping had already brought Lin Wanqiu to wait for him at the door of the inn. It was just dawn, and there were already bursts of shouts in the martial arts field of the border guards. It was the morning soldiers practicing.

Lieutenant Zhong was already waiting for them in the tent on one side, they walked into the tent amidst the sound of practice, looked at Lieutenant Zhong's frowning brows and dark circles under his eyes: "How long have you not slept? "

Captain Zhong has a Chinese-character face, about thirty years old, and his face is upright: "You shaved your beard, I didn't recognize you for a while."

"It's not that you married your husband, someone is in charge." Lin Muqing scratched her hair, "The person we went back last time told me that you asked me to help find someone, but your letters and portraits were all damp because of the rain. , I can’t see clearly, so I can’t help you.”

Speaking of this, Xiaowei Zhong felt a headache: "In such a short period of time, I have received several letters from my friends. They don't believe the reports sent here, so they insist on asking me to help you find them again. .”

"Who is it?" Lin Muqing asked casually, "Do you still have a portrait?"

Captain Zhong paused for a moment: "Eh... Well, didn't someone bring it to you last time? Where do I have it?"

"Then there is no portrait, how can I help you find someone?" Lin Muqing sighed, "What is the identity of this person? You have been looking for it for so long?"

"It's a brother from my old friend's family. His family was in trouble and he was exiled in Yunxi. He was supposed to go to the quarry there before August [-]th, but my people went there several times and couldn't find it. People. I received news from an old friend again, saying that the news of his death was received in the capital, and he wanted me to help find it again. According to me, if it’s gone, it’s gone, so what else are you looking for?”

Lin Muqing's heart skipped a beat, and her fingers curled up where Captain Zhong couldn't see.

"I think so too. This guy is so good-looking, maybe because of that face, he was ruined and then killed." Captain Zhong stayed in the border of Yunxi for a long time, so he understood the situation. Some things around, "I'm ready to write back to them, saying that the news of the death has been confirmed."

"Which friend of yours is it? And what happened?"

"Hey, things in the capital are too far away from us, you know the prince and Taifu."

Lin Muqing nodded, remembering what Suiyu said, her father was a teacher.

"The matter of seizing the heir is hard to describe. The prince was already weak, and he was almost the first to fall. Because the family was steadfast in standing with the prince, he once rejected the current majesty. The fifth prince at that time proposed a marriage. His majesty wanted to vent his anger. Personal anger, the whole family should have been exiled to Nianzhou, but only that brother was exiled to Yunxi alone."

at home.

Lin Muqing understood, it seems that Xiaowei Zhong and Lin An and the others in the county government should be looking for his Suiyu: "Then what will you do if you find him?"

"His sister-in-law, that is, my friend, said that it is good to let me protect his safety." Zhong Xiaowei said, "But I think, if you find him in the north and south of the Nianzhou, you can just let him go." Find a soldier and marry him off."

Lin Muqing's hand slowly clenched into a fist.

"But I probably can't find it, so I'll write him a reply right now." He started to write and wrote a reply soon after speaking, "Use your line to send it at that time. This kind of thing is not suitable for our military line."

Lin Muqing nodded: "Yes, there is a batch of medicinal herbs to be delivered to Nianzhou. I will help you deliver the letter."

"Their family is also pitiful. The ancestors of the Sui family are also full of loyalty. They used to fight with the ancestors of the Yue family. It's just that the descendants have all embarked on the road of literati. It's hard to get a Sui Jing, and because of some things, I have become a complete useless person again, and I have been with medicine all day long. When my family was still prosperous, I could afford medicine. I don’t know what it is like now. I remember that medicine is only produced here, especially you That produces a lot.”

"What medicine?"

"Heart-protecting grass." Xiaowei Zhong said, "This medicine is very precious. Because of that incident, Suijing hurt her heart and heart. She was originally a high-spirited and reckless young man, but now she is sick and not long to live."

"Why are you so curious about this?" Captain Zhong realized something was wrong, and looked at him with sharp eyes.

Lin Muqing quickly raised her hand: "I'm really curious about the things in the capital. It's not that I'm short-sighted. I always want to hear stories about the outside world."

"You are so young, you go out more often when you have time, don't you have caravans going all over the world at any time?" Lieutenant Zhong handed the written letter to him, "Remember to deliver it for me. "

"Okay, I will definitely deliver it for you." Lin Muqing held the letter and carefully put it in his arms.

After Lin Muqing told him about it, he went outside the tent and called Lin Wanqiu who had been waiting at the side to come in.

"This is a kid from our village. I'll send him here to practice." Lin Muqing pushed Lin Wanqiu in front of Captain Zhong, "Wan Qiu, this is Captain Zhong."

Lin Wanqiu still didn't speak, her eyes seemed numb.

Captain Zhong was overjoyed when he saw the look in his eyes, and then his eyes stayed on the cloth towel on his face for a long time before he said, "Okay, let's put it here."

"Thank you." Lin Muqing bowed his hands to him, then walked out of the tent without looking at Lin Wanqiu again.
