[Red Mansion] His mouth was opened

That night, none of Jiahuan's mother and son in the mansion could sleep well.

Aunt Zhao cried all night, and woke up early in the morning, her eyes were swollen into walnuts. She usually loves to dress up, but today she just combed her hair and washed her face. She didn't even draw her eyebrows. Jia Huan packed up his things.

When Jia Huan saw him, he couldn't help feeling sour again, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

"It was cold in the frontier, this is the mattress your uncle bought overnight last night, and this cloak, made of fox fur, is the warmest. When you get there, don't just care about the prestige, don't wear these, if... ..." Aunt Zhao was tidying up, and she read in fragments. Halfway through her speech, she didn't dare to say anything that she felt unlucky, so she spoke intermittently. Jia Huan didn't mind being bothered, and listened to them one by one.

"And this grease," Aunt Zhao thought for a while, and went to the table to get a can of grease.

Jia Huan was stunned for a moment, then looked at the jar of grease in surprise, "What are you taking this grease with you for?" Can't it be used for cooking?

Aunt Zhao sighed, "This oil tastes bad, but it's freezing in the frontier, and you can't hold a hand stove all day long. This oil is for you to wipe your hands and feet, so as not to freeze and crack. This It's no fun to freeze your hands and feet in the middle of the winter."

Jia Huan was silent, took the grease, and there was an impulse in his heart for a moment, but he quickly put this stupid idea behind him,

If you don't go, the Rongguo Mansion will be destroyed sooner or later. At that time, their family will be implicated. The long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. It's better to be ruthless and fight for it.

"Mother, Huan'er, don't clean up yet, come and have breakfast." Tanchun walked in with the maids.

Tan Chun waved his hand at the maids, signaling them to put down all their food.

Jia Huan took a look and saw on the table the wontons from the old Liu’s family on Dongjie Street. His wontons are the most delicious. , and sprinkle finely chopped green onions on top, which is full of color, fragrance, and steamed buns with cabbage and fresh meat from Xishi, layer cakes from Yunxiang Pavilion, horseshoe cakes, etc., all of which are his favorites.

Only then did Jia Huan understand why Tanchun came so late.

Tanchun also didn't sleep all night. When he got up in the morning, he saw his haggard appearance. He put on a layer of powder for fear of scaring Jia Huan. He just smiled reluctantly and waved to Jia Huan, "What are you doing just looking at me? Sit down." Let's eat."

Jia Huan didn't say much, and sat down to eat with Aunt Zhao who still wanted to pack up.

He didn't really have much appetite, but he was afraid that Tanchun and Aunt Zhao would be worried, so he forced himself to have a full stomach.

Tanchun and Aunt Zhao didn't eat, but one by one they added vegetables to Jia Huan and poured tea.

After a meal, everything on the table went into Jia Huan's stomach.

Jia Tanchun felt a little relieved, but when she thought of Huan'er's trip this time, she didn't know when she would come back, and when she would be reunited, she couldn't help feeling sour. She endured it and didn't shed tears, but said: "Morning Knowing that you like to eat, you should buy more."

Jia Huan was so full that he couldn't eat anymore, he waved his hands repeatedly and said, "This is enough."

"Forget it, you can't take this wonton and siu mai on the road. It will stink after a long time. I asked the boy to buy some pastries in Yunxiang Pavilion. You can eat those on the way slowly. When you come back, my sister will treat you well." Don't hesitate." Tanchun forced a smile and said.

Jia Huan's lips moved and he said hello.

After breakfast, Aunt Zhao and Tanchun were busy packing up their things. If it wasn't for the fact that they couldn't move the whole house, Aunt Zhao would have wished to pack everything up for Jia Huan to take away, so that she could rest assured.

It's almost noon, and things haven't been packed yet.

Jia Huan looked at the seven big boxes that were already full. The journey was tiring, and it would be inconvenient to bring too many things, so he persuaded: "Mother, sister, there are enough things, and the hour is almost the same, the carriage is still waiting outside." .”

Aunt Zhao stopped folding her clothes, bit her lower lip, and finally couldn't hold back her tears.

The child travels thousands of miles and the mother is worried.

This is going to the frontier in dire straits, how can Aunt Zhao really rest assured?

Tanchun couldn't help wiping his tears with a handkerchief, Jia Huan lowered his head, and his eyes were red.

"You go." Aunt Zhao wiped her tears and said, looking straight at Jia Huan with her eyes like autumn water, "Don't, don't delay the hour."

Jia Huan got up without saying a word, and when he reached the door, he finally couldn't help turning around and hugging Aunt Zhao, "I'm going."

Aunt Zhao's tears fell on him, and Jia Huan couldn't bear the scalding temperature anymore. He only felt that the tears seemed to fall on his heart, which made his heart ache.

He lowered his head, wiped away his tears, turned around, and left without looking back.

Because, he was afraid, if he turned back, he didn't want to leave.

The carriage has been waiting for a long time, and the seven big boxes were fully packed into three carriages before they were all filled. Jia Huan lifted the curtain of the carriage and got in. The coachman flicked his whip, and a sound of cracking the air seemed to separate him from his family. distance.

There seemed to be a call from behind, the voice was shrill and sad.

He bowed his head, shoulders shrugged, tears streaming down his cheeks.

The meeting place is Qili Pavilion outside the city gate.

When people meet, some people are full of sentimentality, some people are full of ambition, in short, everyone has their own ideas, but no matter who they are, they all have a three-point haggard face. One can imagine that they must have not slept yesterday. good.

"Following the heavens, the emperor ordered that..."

It was Chen Xindeng, Eunuch Chen, who recited the imperial decree. After reading a passage in cadence, everyone's hearts were filled with pride, and all the melancholy in their hearts disappeared. They just wished they could go to the battlefield and slaughter the head of the barbarian in person, so as to show their heroic abilities.

"His Royal Highness accept the order." Chen Xindeng said to Tu Hengding with a smile after reading the imperial order.

Tu Hengding held back his joy, and accepted the imperial edict calmly.

Although Zhang Wenxiu and the others were all suppressing their joy, they were still young, and there was still something showing on their faces.

Right now, His Royal Highness and His Sixteenth Highness are different from each other. It is reasonable to say that His Royal Highness should be in charge of going to the frontier this time, but His Majesty has not mentioned a word. They have long complained in their hearts. It appeases their grievances.

Because this behavior undoubtedly implied that the Holy One valued His Highness more.

The more he was in the officialdom, the more unfathomable Jia Huan felt. A small gesture was better than words, just like now.

"Your Highness, Your Highness Sixteenth, the Holy Majesty also asked our family to bring a message. The two of you are going to the frontier this time, and you are burdened by the people of Liming. I hope that your Highness will work together to drive that barbarian out of Da'an." Chen Xindeng said bravely.

Both Tuhengding and Tuhenglu said yes, they are not idiots, this time they go to the frontier, the first task is to get rid of the barbarians, and the second is competition, if the cart before the horse, they will not be able to make it to where they are today.

"With the two Highnesses, the Holy Majesty can rest assured. Our family wishes the two Highnesses and everyone a triumphant return with a glass of thin wine!" Chen Xindeng raised his wine glass and said to everyone.

Drink the wine in one gulp.

Horse, dust off.

When you go, there are crowds of people, but when you come, how many people will return?

From the capital to the frontier, it is a full eight hundred miles.

Tu Hengding and his group were on the road almost day and night. Along the way, everyone took turns, and three shifts lay on the ground. Things were well planned. Some people were in charge of driving, some were in charge of purchasing, and others were in these places. Taking a break from time to time, with such a plan, the journey will not be too tired. However, even so, the diseases caused by the poor water and soil and the exhaustion of the boat still caused a lot of trouble to the team.

Moreover, they face far more than this problem.

As we go north, the temperature gets colder and colder. It is clearly still autumn, and many places are already cold enough to wear cotton-padded jackets.

The horses were not frost tolerant and had to wrap their hooves in cotton cloth to keep warm.

However, along the way, a dozen horses froze to death.

"Huh..." Jia Huan breathed out his hands, opened the curtain of the car, and looked out. They probably approached a small town not far from the frontier, and saw that there was already a light snow like catkins floating outside. I don't know how long it has been falling, and a thick layer has accumulated on the ground. Because there are no people walking on the official road, the snow is so white that it makes a "creaking" sound when the carriage passes by.

"It's snowing." Jia Huan exclaimed, it had already snowed before approaching the border, and it would be even colder when we got there.

In such cold and freezing days, people are most likely to be infected with wind and cold. No wonder people say that the frontier is a place where bones are buried. After three years in the army, one out of ten people can go home.
