Chapter 212 How is she worse than Concubine Jin?
Everyone silently bowed their heads and ate the unbearable vegetable porridge. The women's family members tasted like eating these things, even if they were not delicious, they had to force themselves to swallow them.

The officials were better off, all they had done was physical labor, and after staying in the palace for a whole day, they were naturally tired and hungry, so even if the food was not good, they didn't have any complaints, they just felt stuffed. A full stomach is the most important thing.

The best performers are of course the group of generals who have fought on the battlefield. They all climbed up step by step. In their eyes, it is not only a meal, but also a good memory.

Du Jinyi also filled a bowl of vegetable porridge, took a sip of the soup and put it in his mouth. Swallowing it was not as delicate as the usual meals, but instead had a throat-squeaking feeling and a strange taste.

She glanced at Huangfu Mohan next to him. He didn't frown at all. He picked up the bowl and drank up the vegetable porridge in it. At this time, everyone had coats to keep out the cold, but he was still wearing the thin one. Yuebai was wearing regular clothes, and Du Jinyi couldn't help reaching out to touch his hand.

"What's the matter, but can't eat?"

Huangfu Mohan leaned over, reaching out to pick up the bowl in her hand.

Du Jinyi hid for a while, shook his head and said, "It's not that I can't eat, I just want to feel if you are cold because of the thinness of your clothes."

Huangfu Mohan smiled, and leaned over. He touched her slightly moist clothes with his hands, and suddenly concentrated, and within a short while, her clothes were all dry.

"Don't worry, I have internal strength. This little storm is not worth mentioning in front of the bad weather at the border."

Looking at Huangfu Mohan's warm eyes, Du Jinyi suddenly felt her heart warm. She nodded and smiled, "Then I can rest assured!"

She suppressed the discomfort and drank all the vegetable porridge in the bowl. Huangfu Mohan pinched her nose with a smile, leaned close to her and praised, "It's amazing."

Du Jinyi chuckled, "Isn't it just a bowl of vegetable porridge, everyone present can eat it, what's so great about me."

"No, they were forced to eat it, and you ate it on your own initiative, so you are the most powerful." Huangfu Mohan said while wiping the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief.

Du Jinyi was speechless for a while, and only blushed a little bit embarrassed, maybe for the person he likes, no matter what she does, he will feel amazing.

Just like she did to him.

"By the way, do you often eat this food at the border? Did you get used to it when you ate it for the first time?" Du Jinyi looked at him curiously.

Huangfu Mohan smiled, "It's not that uncomfortable, after all, my master doesn't have that much money to support me, so he can barely keep me from starving for three meals a day.

The first time I ate this kind of food, I really didn't have much appetite. I wanted to throw it away, but some people in the military camp didn't have enough to eat, so I had to give it to them cheaply.In the end, I was hungry for a few meals, and I could barely eat it.

Also, it is not so convenient in the military camp. There are also bowls and chopsticks. Sometimes when the meal is ready, the big guys are good at grabbing it. It is most convenient when you are not nervous. The chef puts up a few more pancakes, one for each person, and one meal is explained.

When I am thirsty, I have no sweet water to drink. When it snows, I grab a handful of snow on the ground to eat. When it rains, I use clay pots to drink rainwater..."

The rain gradually subsided, everyone held their breath, and everyone present could hear clearly what Huangfu Mohan said.

Some people can't help sighing that the border is really cold, and some people start to admire Huangfu Mohan from the bottom of their hearts. Looking around, no emperor would go to the border to start as a small soldier.

Not to mention members of the royal family, even nobles like them would not make such a choice. If anyone wants to make a contribution, he will greet him in the barracks through an acquaintance, and stay at the border for a few years before returning. "Building meritorious service" is more like a show task. As long as it is completed perfectly, it will go straight to the sky through the family relationship.

Judging from the signal that Huangfu Mohan personally joined the army, it is obvious that it is impossible for the children of big families to go to the border to join the army and rely on the power of the family to make contributions.

The soldiers at the border have already recognized Huangfu Mohan's ability. If someone wants to use their status to enjoy various benefits at the border, and wants to get fame that doesn't belong to them, obviously no one will buy it.

Furthermore, Huangfu Mohan would not let incompetent soldiers lead the army to fight and enjoy a series of benefits.

The people at the table were silent, all feeling in their hearts that this official position is getting worse and worse.

Huangfu Mohan glanced at the people at the table, and saw that they had all finished eating the unpalatable porridge, so he said lightly,

"Everyone has been tired for a day today. There is no enemy situation for the time being. You can go to the tent to rest. But before the rest, you need someone to watch and patrol. Just discuss and decide. Whether there is any abnormality, and secondly, to prevent people in the tent from lighting up and not sleeping, making noise for others to rest, every two hours is a shift, after two hours, another batch of patrols will be replaced in time, I will not sleep tonight, count as a manpower , and the rest you can consider and select."

Some people thought it was a good thing to finally be able to rest, but they didn't expect to have to screen patrol soldiers, and they couldn't help feeling agitated.

At the end of the day, I ate a bowl of vegetable porridge. Although I was hungry, but because it was unpalatable, some people would rather be hungry than eat the second bowl. Thinking of so much shit going on behind the scenes.

Helpless, after some discussion, some young officials decided to hold on for another two hours, and let the female relatives and the elderly officials sleep in tents first.

When some girls saw Huangfu Mohan from the corner of their eyes, they also volunteered to stay and decide to be patrol soldiers.

Huangfu Mohan ignored them, and only took Du Jinyi to patrol together.

Those who were able to sleep thought they were extremely lucky, but some of them couldn't help crying when they saw water leaks and wet quilts in the tent.

To sleep in this environment, it is better to go outside to stand guard and patrol.

But this is only the situation of some people. There are still a lot of tents and quilts that can sleep in the rain. Everyone discussed and replaced them, and then the officials crowded together, and the female relatives crowded together to sleep, which was barely enough. improvise.

Chu Ruqing was naturally also a member of the guard patrol. She deliberately followed Huangfu Mohan, and took the opportunity to ask him about border issues. She originally thought that talking about Huangfu Mohan's favorite topics would make him look at her differently, but Huangfu Mohan didn't even think about it. She glanced at her and only pulled Du Jinyi away. Chu Ruqing was at a loss in embarrassment. She didn't understand how she was worse than Concubine Jin.
