Chang'an Ferry

As soon as the person left, Mu Yanying asked Chu Ping to close the door, and then began to open the box, "Auntie, the size of the clothes you made is really suitable!" After wearing them, she gestured in front of the mirror.

"That's right! Many of the clothes, sir, are made by the mother herself." Qingshu put the black cloak on Mu Yuying's body, and Mu Yingying stretched out her hand to pinch the two fox dolls sewn at the end of the cloak tie, her small face touched the edge of the hat Mu Yanying's whiteness against the black fox fur.

"Master, and Madam's." Jiang Ning naturally made the clothes, and Mu Yanying also put them on and looked around, "Does it look good?"

"It's beautiful! The young master will definitely fascinate those girls when he goes out wearing it." Qingshu applauded, Mu Yanying gave him a white look, and changed the clothes, "The clothes made by mother will not be worn until spring."

"It's okay, there are still underwear here, son." Qing Shu continued to take out the clothes in the box. Jiang Ning thoughtfully made a set of underwear for his son. Mu Yanying felt warm holding it in his hand. The sound of footsteps hurriedly put on clothes.

"Yingying, it's uncle, are you dressed yet?" Jiang Mingfeng knocked on the door outside.

"Okay!" Mu Yanying hurried to open the door, "Uncle!"

"Yeah." Jiang Mingfeng came in to look at Qing Shu and Chu Ping, "Yi Ying, I have something to ask you."

Chu Ping and Qing Shu didn't need Mu Yanying to say anything, they bowed and went out and closed the door.

Jiang Mingfeng pulled Mu Yingying into the inner room, "Yingying, let me ask you, do you have a good relationship with His Highness Fourth?"

"Well, why does uncle ask such a question?" Mu Yanying was very puzzled.

Jiang Mingfeng always felt that Li Shengye's attitude towards Mu Yanying was a bit strange, "Does the Fourth Highness have someone he likes?"

Mu Yanying shook her head, "Uncle, who do you want to marry?"

"No." Jiang Mingfeng put his hands behind his back, looked at his nephew with a dazed expression, and continued after deliberating for a long time, "The Fourth Highness is already weak, and His Majesty has not yet arranged for his marriage."

"Probably not, Aye told my uncle that I don't want to get married for the time being." Mu Yanying felt that her uncle was going to match someone for someone, so she asked her questions here in a roundabout way.

Hearing this, Jiang Mingfeng became more and more uneasy, but he knew clearly that his nephew didn't understand these things. In case, "Ying Ying, I see that you are very close to His Highness the Fourth Highness, but no matter how close you are, you must keep a distance. You must know that some people just like to fabricate things that are unnecessary."

Mu Yanying knew that her uncle was worried that she would be used, so she nodded, "Don't worry, uncle, I know it well!"

"Well..." Jiang Mingfeng decided to observe carefully in the next few days. If it is what he thinks, he must stop it in time to avoid accidents.

On the other side, Li Shengye was soaking in the water, remembering the action of hugging Mu Yingying just now, if this fell into the eyes of caring people, it would be unavoidable to think too much, and the Jiangnan is very romantic, and many people have raised male pets in private, If I went out of line, I would not be seen by others. Thinking of this, Li Shengye's heart beat a little fast, he closed his eyes and let out a long breath, he needed to restrain himself!

Naturally, the emperor, empress and Jiang Ning couldn't just let Li Shengye bring the clothes. There was also a small box inside the box containing the clothes, which was naturally wrapped in red:

My peace, may your life be safe and smooth!

Mu Yuying sniffed it, and there was a smell of sandalwood, which must have been prayed for a long time in front of the Buddha. Mu Yingying's eyes were slightly sour, "Uncle!" He held it in his hand and looked at it for a long time before putting it away again, and took a lock Lock the box up.

The box Jiang Ning prepared was much bigger, and once opened, there were several red envelopes, "Daddy's, mother's, big brother's, and second brother's." Mu Yanying opened them one by one, and they were all in a thick stack. Long time no see!"

In the evening, when everyone was sitting around, Li Shengye looked around and asked in a low voice, "Yu Ying, why didn't you see Second Young Master Jiang?"

"Oh, Yangyang went to Fuzhou, and I wrote a letter a few days ago saying that I won't be able to make it back until New Year's Eve," Mu Yanying said.

"Yingying, I'm whispering something to His Highness Fourth, it's almost cold for dinner." Mrs. Jiang asked kindly, signaling him to concentrate on eating.

"it is good"

"Beautiful brother, I want to eat that!" Jiang Yunling has not been clinging to her parents since Mu Yuying came, but Jiang Lishen and his wife were very happy, and completely let Jiang Yunling go to Mu Yingying.

"No! It's too sweet." Mu Yanying shook her head, "You only lost one tooth."

Jiang Yunling was tearful, but Mu Yuying was unmoved, and raised a hand to hold a lucky peach for Jiang Yunling, "eat this"

Jiang Yunling wanted to cry, but before going out, her parents repeatedly told her to be obedient and not to cry during the Chinese New Year. Forget it, she could only feel wronged by eating this tasteless blessing peach, with a small mouth, "Wow"

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Jiang looked over, and Mu Yanying bent down and smiled immediately, "Grandma, it's Linger who lost a tooth."

"It's swollen and fell off again!" Jiang Yunling covered her mouth, and Mu Yuying was holding the lucky peach that Jiang Yunling bit just now with a tooth stuck on it, "Jianying, give this to me!"

Ke Qingmu reached out to take it, "Grandmother, father and mother, I'll take Linger down to clean up."

"Go!"

Mu Yanying looked at Jiang Yunling worriedly, remembering that when Jiang Yunling lost her teeth last time, she cried so sadly.

"Yuying, don't worry." Jiang Mingfeng said, picked up the serving chopsticks and picked up a lucky peach for Mu Yingying, "After seeing it, we, Yiying, are a loving father."

Mu Yanying blushed.

"Oh, yes! And our Yanying's child must be very handsome." Mrs. Jiang was very happy when she heard this, she raised her hand and counted, "Yingying is seventeen this year, and she should get married and have children in a few years up"

Mu Yanying blushed even more.

Li Shengye remained silent, eating with his head down, but his hands hidden in his sleeves were slightly clenched.

Jiang Mingfeng didn't see anything from Li Shengye's face, he was a little puzzled, but he was slightly relieved, it seemed that he was overthinking.

After dinner, the sky was full of snowflakes again, and the servants lowered the curtains in the corridor to block out the cold wind, "Aye, do you have any news from the northwest in the imperial city?"

"Well," Li Shengye took the opportunity to look at Mu Yingying carefully, "The supplies for the winter were delivered when the autumn just started, but this year, the snow in the northwest was even heavier, so General Mu sent a letter in advance saying that he would not return this year." imperial city"

"Oh." Mu Yanying hugged Mrs. Tang tightly in her hands, "I want to go to the northwest when I wait. Speaking of this big brother's child, I'm afraid he is almost ten years old!"

"Almost, speaking of it, I've only met Mr. Mu once." Li Shengye remembered that he had only met Mu Dingbei once when he came out of the cold palace and got married.

Mu Yanying giggled, "Don't tell me, I met my elder brother once, when he got married." The two of them were a little silent here, only the sound of footsteps, why didn't they go home for more than ten years? Don’t they want to, walking on the border defense line day and night, risking their lives to defend against foreign enemies, why is it for the safety of their homeland and the land behind them!

"Here, Aye, go in and rest!" Mu Yanying sent Li Shengye to the guest courtyard to watch him go in, and then walked slowly to her yard stepping on the snow.

The ground dragon had been burnt in the room long ago, and before entering, Qingshu felt a rush of heat. Qing Shu took Mu Yanying's cloak, "My lord, the hot water is ready!"

"Yeah." Feeling just now, Mu Yuying was still a little depressed, leaning on the tub to let Qing Shu wash her hair while dazed, "Qing Shu, I want to go to the Northwest"

"Northwest!" Qing Shu paused, looked up at Chu Ping, who shook his head, "My lord, why do you want to go to Northwest?"

"I just think it must be very hard for dad and elder brother to go on patrol in such a cold weather in the northwest."

"Young master, in fact, Hu people won't come in such a cold day." Qing Shu stayed in the northwest for a few years, and with this weather, the snow in the northwest must be high, no matter how hard the Hu people would come at this time!

"Really?" Mu Yanying replied.

"That's right! When I was in the Northwest, Hu people often came to enjoy the autumn wind when autumn came, and when winter really came, they would stay in their tents and never go out," Qing Shu said with conviction.

"Don't worry, son, the generals have been guarding the northwest for many years, and they know all about these things, so you don't have to worry." Chu Ping said with concern, but he got a blank stare from Qingshu. Are you worried if you don't see your son?

I see it, but what you said is a lie!

Qing Shu snorted in his heart, ignored Chu Ping, and washed Mu Yanying's hair seriously.

At the same time, in the northwest where the cold wind was howling, Mu Zhan came back on his horse, with a lot of blood splattered on his body, even the sword in his hand was covered with blood.

"Great General" Mu Dingbei, dressed in armor, stepped forward quickly, Mu Zhan got off his horse and patted Mu Dingbei's shoulder, "I'm fine, it's those barbarians who have trouble, let's talk about it in detail."

"Order to go on, be vigilant, these barbarians are going crazy this year," Mu Zhan said to the general behind him.

"Yes" the general took the order with his sword in his arms, and spread out to deliver the order.

As soon as Mu Zhan entered the tent, he hissed, and Mu Dingbei's expression tightened, "Father, are you injured?"

Mu Zhan waved his hand, "Just got stabbed in the shoulder."

Sit down, Mu Dingbei helped to untie Mu Zhan's armor, and took the scissors to remove the cloth sticking to the wound, "Father, it hurts, bear with it"

"Let's do it!" Mu Zhan closed his eyes and asked Mu Dingbei to do it. Bandaging wounds is commonplace for border soldiers, so Mu Dingbei quickly wrapped up the wounds, "Fortunately, there is an iron armor to block it, otherwise..."

"By the way, Dad, why are these barbarians here at this time of year? Did something happen to them?" When the barbarians raided, Mu Dingbei happened to be back in the border town and was not in the barracks, so Mu Zhan was naturally in command.

"It has snowed so much this year, we have made so many preparations, and many places have been affected. Let alone these nomads, the snow has collapsed their tents and killed many cattle and sheep, so we have to come out to grab them," Mu Zhan said disdainfully. , but I still feel a little sorry for those excellent breeds of horses.

"So that's it, Dad, should we take advantage of the victory and pursue it?" Mu Dingbei walked to the sand table.

"You think so?" Mu Zhan asked instead.

"My boy thinks that we have to fight but not go deep!" Mu Dingbei pointed to several terrains on the border, "The snow in these places is extremely deep, and we are likely to get stuck in it and be trapped, but we can't Let those barbarians come and hang around our door." The father and son looked at each other in unison.

Mu Yingying was awakened by the light outside, "Ah, look at who I am?"

Jiang Yang made a grimace in front of Mu Yuying, "Yangyang, you're back!" Mu Yingying sat up, and Jiang Yang stretched out his hand to put the quilt on Mu Yingying's body to keep the wind out, "Yes! It's not dawn yet. I just came back, you were really asleep, I watched you for a while before you woke up"

"Then did you go to see your uncle and grandmother?" Mu Yanying asked.

"I went, I went to where they are, and I came to you." After speaking, he stood up and began to take off his clothes, "Yingying, you move your position, I didn't sleep well when I was on the way!"

"No, you didn't even change your clothes!" Mu Yanying pressed the quilt to prevent Jiang Yang from opening it. Jiang Yang couldn't open it for a long time so he had to put on his clothes and sighed, "Oh! Look at you, this is also So petty!"

"Okay, just kidding, get up, today is a good day and the sun is shining, let's call Linger to have a snowball fight." Jiang Yang walked to the side of the cabinet and took the clothes on it to Mu Yanying's hand, " I'll wait for you outside"

As soon as he went out, Jiang Yang saw Li Shengye standing outside, and hurriedly saluted, "Fourth Highness, when did Fourth Highness come?"

"Yesterday." Li Shengye looked at the door, "Second Young Master Jiang, is this?"

"Oh, I haven't seen Youying for a long time. Let's go say hello. By the way, Your Highness, I have invited Youying to have a snowball fight. Would you like to come?" Jiang Yang asked.

"Okay!" Li Shengye's answer was beyond Jiang Yang's surprise, and he nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I'll see if Linger is here, and we'll start in a while!"
