Chapter 102 Conversation
It snowed heavily for several days.

Opening the door early in the morning, everything was silent, and the servants in the courtyard were cleaning the snow.

Xu Jue asked for a basin of hot water, Huanhuan brought it in lightly, and tiptoed out again.

The person on the bed is still asleep.

He cleaned it briefly, and sat down at the desk. From here, he could see someone sleeping on the bed from afar.

The house is warm, the residual heat from the kang that burned all night.

With handsome eyebrows and eyes, he opened the military booklet on the desk and read it intently.

There are still eight days until the New Year's Eve, and the new year is coming soon, he dare not slack off, the military affairs at hand must be checked carefully, with a good foundation, the future affairs can be started.

This look is nearly an hour.

The sky was already bright, the winter sun shone in the courtyard, and the thin snow began to melt into water.

When the ice and snow melted, it was cold, and the person who was sleeping soundly on the bed finally looked like he was about to wake up.

He put down the bookfold, got up and walked to the bed, and raised the curtain.

Gu Mingzhu rolled on the bed for a while before poking her head out of the quilt.

Xu Jue said, "Get up?"

Gu Mingzhu's eyes were slightly swollen, and she was wearing a thin light-colored outerwear, which was soft in texture, but it didn't look like hers.

There was a fire burning in the house all night, and she couldn't remember much.

Xu Jue stretched out his hand to copy her, and moved her to his knees. The large robe suddenly loosened, revealing half of his shoulders, and along the way up, there were dense traces.

Xu Jue caressed one of them lightly with her fingers, and said with a smile in her eyes, "It's time to get up."

Gu Mingzhu lay on his shoulder with a vague tone, her voice hoarse: "I'm so tired... My legs are sore... You bastard..."

Xu Jue pressed her fingertips against her cheek, and her smile deepened when she heard this, and said, "Okay, the bastard will put clothes on for you."

There was a knock on the door, and Chu Qiu's voice sounded: "Miss, are you awake?"

There were several people talking at the door, which sounded like a few people at a spring banquet.

Gu Mingzhu regained her clarity a little bit, and slowly raised her face on his shoulder.

Xu Jue had already reached for her clothes, took off the close-fitting light-colored outer dress, and began to put on her inner clothes.

Warm fingers vaguely touched her skin, Gu Mingzhu couldn't help but flinch.

Xu Jue smiled happily.

She either raised her hand or stood up, and put her clothes on in a short while.

Xu Jue glanced at the snow-white neck, his eyes darkened, and stretched out his hand to pull up her collar, but he still couldn't cover up the marks. After searching for a while, he found a fox fur scarf and put it on for her. After that, he went to open the door.

Spring Banquet, Yueyan, Chuqiu and Liu Zige were all there outside the house.

Seeing Xu Jue open the door, Chun Yan frowned, and exchanged a tacit glance with Chu Qiu.

Four people entered.

Inside the bead curtain, separated by a screen, Gu Mingzhu was applying a hot towel to his face, and he finally regained some energy.

"Miss."

"master."

Gu Mingzhu said kindly, "Sit down first."

The door of the room was opened, and the guards brought in the stove, and the four of them sat down around the stove.

Gu Mingzhu ate little in the morning, Xu Jue turned her back to the crowd, and handed over the porridge that had been warmed for a long time. She stood by the vanity mirror, wiped her face clean, applied beauty cream, and then reached out to take the bowl of porridge. Drank it clean.

The two came out and sat on top.

In just a short while, the water on the stove was already boiling, Chu Qiu brought the water to make tea, and soon everyone had a cup of warm tea in their hands.

The four of them explained the things that Gu Mingzhu had confessed recently one by one.

Only then did the Spring Banquet say: "Miss, the end of the new year is approaching, and I'm thinking about some fun, and I'm going to go hunting in the countryside at night. The game has come out in this heavy snow, and I'm already preparing the crossbow. Let me ask the lady if I can go." .”

Gu Mingzhu blew on the teacup and said with a smile, "You guys are really in a good mood."

"Isn't it that I'm almost busy thinking about things?"

Gu Mingzhu said: "Then go."

Chun Yan laughed suddenly, stretched out his hand towards several people, and said: "I just said that Miss will go, give me money."

Chu Qiu and Liu Zige both took out a bank note from their pockets.

I never thought that a few of them would even bet on this matter.

Gu Mingzhu couldn't help laughing.

"You boy, you are lucky today."

"Miss, don't you know that during the Spring Festival these days, a lot of peach blossoms have been recruited, and girls throw handkerchiefs at him every time he goes out, it's so lively..."

"How can you tell me about me!"

"Why can't you tell?"

Chuqiu and Chunyan were talking to each other, and Yueyan over there had already moved sideways with Liu Zige to discuss the bill.

As the New Year approached, there must be another big expenditure in the army. The two of them didn't care about the military affairs, but Yue Yan took care of the money matters, and Liu Zige and her were discussing the details.

Huanhuan came in with snacks and fruits, and Gu Mingzhu picked up a piece of pastry and ate it slowly.

Xu Jue listened to their conversation with a calm expression. Seeing that Gu Mingzhu lost interest after taking two bites, he didn't let it go. He moved closer: "Don't want to eat?"

Gu Mingzhu snorted softly and didn't want to talk to him.

Her eyes are still slightly swollen, if you don't look closely, you can't see anything.

Xu Jue took her hand, took a bite of what she had eaten, and said, "It's okay."

Yue Yan paused.

Watching the movement of the two from the corner of their eyes during the Spring Banquet and Early Autumn, their voices became softer.

Gu Mingzhu's eyebrows and eyes were faint, and she couldn't tell whether she was happy or unhappy.

Xu Jue let out a low laugh, let go of his hand, and looked up at the four people in front of him.

Gu Mingzhu said: "After the new year, all the affairs of the bank will be handed over to Yueyan. Bar."

The four of them stopped talking, looked at her, and replied: "Yes."

The three of them glanced at Liu Zige at the same time.

They have followed Gu Mingzhu for a long time, so they naturally understand the meaning of Gu Mingzhu's words.

Liu Zige called Miss Master, and stayed in Dangzhou for a long time, then he would be Miss' counselor.

He relied on his reputation resounding throughout the south of the Yangtze River, as well as his own talent and vision.

Gu Mingzhu played with the teacup: "I'll say some things first. If things are divided, it's not a child's play. If you don't have enough people, you can pick people. The affairs of the twelve states add up. It's not a trivial matter. You don't need to come to me every day to report."

"Yes."

Gu Mingzhu thought for a while, and said: "One more thing, there are now 19 soldiers and horses in the twelve prefectures, except for the [-] Yanyun riding in Dangzhou to listen to my orders, the rest of the soldiers and horses are all under Xu Jue's command, Yue Yan."

Yueyan lowered his hands: "The subordinate is here."

"You need to discuss this matter with A Jue clearly, and the allocation of food and grass must not be sloppy."

"clear."

The four talked for a while, then retreated, and Chun Yan took Chu Qiu to see the preparation of the bow and crossbow.

Yueyan and Liuzige walked on the cleaned ground.

She was silent, and Ryuzig did not speak.

The two still have things to discuss.

Walking down the corridor, Yueyan stopped in her tracks.

Liu Zige waited for a while, she was obviously distracted several times in the room just now, and the timing happened to be when Xu Jue and Gu Mingzhu were approaching, he finally couldn't help but said: "You like young master?"

Without saying a word, Yue glanced at him coldly and said, "Mind your own business."

Liuzige coughed lightly to cover up the embarrassing atmosphere, feeling that he had indeed overstepped the point.
