Notes on Leisurely Living in the Farm

Chapter 98

Mu Ran couldn't recover for a long time.

He completely understands the anger of the little daughter-in-law. To be honest, if it were him, he would not lose his temper after being concealed for so long. He really didn't expect the little daughter-in-law to forgive him so easily.

"what happened?"

Yiyou rubbed the tip of her red nose, looked at Mu Ran who was stunned behind, and smiled.

"Tomorrow I will go to see my mother. Today, Changsheng must learn the tongue when he returns. She must be more worried than me."

Thinking of his mother-in-law who cared so much for him, Mu Ran's heart warmed up.As the Mu family, it's not that he doesn't want to be close to his own family, but that the Mu family is really far behind the mother-in-law's family.

Before he and Yiyou got married, his mother-in-law prepared the winter clothes for the two brothers.At that time, although I wanted to thank him for his help on the set, how can ordinary people be so meticulous? The mother-in-law obviously felt sorry for their brothers who lost their parents when they were young and had no one to take care of them, so they helped as much as they could.

This is the case with strangers, needless to say after getting married.Although he can cook, he doesn't have some seasonings and pickles for morning and evening.It was the mother-in-law who made an extra jar for them when they were soaking, and then delivered it directly from the Dragon Boat Festival.There are also many small details that the little daughter-in-law and him have noticed or have not noticed, and the mother-in-law will prepare them one by one.

She did it very properly, neither talking about money nor interfering in the relationship between their husband and wife, just purely caring.This kind of meticulousness would melt even a heart of stone, not to mention that he was already grateful.

"I have to go tomorrow."

At this moment, he also realized that since the young daughter-in-law was willing, of course he was eager to have a child belonging to the two of them.

"I'm going out to bring hot water."

Outside the door was Duanyang's hot water. He let the two of them wash up as quickly as possible, and then got into the bed and threw themselves on it.When the beeping sounded, Yiyou could not stop complaining.People learn by eating and learning, but she remembers eating but not beating, how could she forget this man's iron body.

"Sleep."

Wrapping himself in the middle with a quilt, Mu Ran calmed down his impulse, then picked her up and put his pillow under her.

"What are you doing?"

Yiyou had some vague guesses, but she was too embarrassed to say so.

"uncomfortable?"

"a little bit."

She blushed and nodded, seeing that Mu Ran was about to pull out, she hurriedly held his wrist: "Let it go, do you know the time?"

"Well, I will wake up in two hours."

Mu Ran leaned over and shared a pillow with his daughter-in-law.Holding the petite body of his little daughter-in-law, he gently patted his back to lull her to sleep.Looking at her sleeping face in the dark, he began to fantasize about the appearance of their child.

If it's a girl, it's best to be like a little daughter-in-law, and it's okay to be like their uncle Mu Yu, but don't be like him.It's not that he has low self-esteem, but that he feels that his Chinese face is really not suitable for his daughter's family.

The corners of the lips are curved, no matter what he and Yiyou's child must be the most beautiful in the world.

When Tianming Yiyou woke up, there was no pillow in her buttocks.Looking at the empty place on the side, the pillow has not receded, and there is still warmth in the bed, Mu Ran should have just woken up not long ago.

As soon as he got up, his legs felt sticky.With a blushing face, she wiped it off a little. Li Shi had told her about it, and it should be easier to conceive these few days. I don't know if there will be any news before Mu Ran leaves.Touching her belly, she decided to try her best.

"Wake up, pack up and have breakfast."

Yiyou got dressed in twos and twos, and sat in front of the dowry, while Mu Ran had already picked up the grate.Compared with how rusty he was at the beginning, he is already skillful now, and the waist-length hair is subdued in his hands, and it won't hurt her at all.

"Cut a nicer one, and I need to put some powder on it."

Yiyou pouted and looked at the red marks on her neck that couldn't be concealed no matter what, she must be a wolf, every time she wished to bite her right through.

When it was intense, she was so stimulated by the pain that she felt very comfortable.Every time I think that I must not be like this next time, but when it comes to the end, I will always forget it unconsciously.

Mu Ran took out the only box of incense powder, which was given to him by the general's wife when he was in the capital.The powder is a complete box, and the little daughter-in-law's skin can be broken by blows, so she doesn't need it at all.With a click, he stretched his middle finger into his neck and applied a thin layer.

The creamy texture in his hands made him feel ecstatic again.He couldn't get enough of his little daughter-in-law.

Seeing that the big palm was getting lower and lower, across the collarbone and approaching the two peaks, Yiyou hurriedly protected her shoulders: "Okay, let's go eat."

She put on a straight face and walked out, but the same hands and feet still revealed her nervousness at the moment.Mu Ran looked at the width of the dowry, as well as the mirror that was half the height of a person, and a beautiful thought came directly from his heart.Silently calming his breath, he also walked out.

Anyway, there is still half a month left, if he works hard, he should be able to do it.

After eating breakfast, he brought Mu Yu and the others to Shen's house.Before entering the door, Li came out with concern, and hurriedly looked at Mu Ran.

"what on earth is it?"

"Mother, the imperial court has orders."

"Oh my god, Brother Ran really won't be free for a year, did Er Ya play a temper on you? Plaguing you so that you won't leave!"

Yiyou looked at Li Shi helplessly: "Mother, how could I be like that."

"Don't interrupt, I won't believe it until my brother tells you."

Mu Ran respected his mother-in-law more and more, he naturally knew that Li's purpose was to protect Yiyou.Because since her mother had already taught her a lesson, it would be wrong for someone from the Mu family to say it later.In this way, she not only fulfilled her polite face, but also protected Yiyou, and also made him feel at ease. It really killed three birds with one stone.

"Mother, Yiyou also cares about me. Don't worry, she hasn't lost her temper at all, and she even packed some things for me to travel with."

Yiyou only followed behind Mu Ran, looking at the friendly mother-in-law and son-in-law, the atmosphere was like a mother and son.

"It's freezing cold, if you two are more polite, I'm afraid I'll have to make two pots of ginger tea later to prevent you from catching a cold."

Mrs. Li was no longer strict with her daughter, and took the two of them's hands from left to right, and led them into the house: "Sit down, Bi Tao, go make tea, and use the new tea."

"Oh? Master Chang sent it?"

Now that the marriage has been confirmed, Mrs. Li is no longer shy.Not only that, but she was very open-minded: "He brought it, and no one in our house drank it. I asked him to take it back, but he refused. However, some of my colleagues must like drinking tea, and you can bring it later. go back."

"Mother, Master Chang gave you this. How could my daughter be greedy for your things for nothing?"

"The dead girl is still at odds with your mother. When I'm your grandma, I won't take anything out until it's spoiled. This stuff is just waiting to go bad. It's just right for you to take it and drink it."

Just as Yi You was about to agree, Mu Ran shook his head: "I'll leave it at Mother's place. I'm leaving at the beginning of February. Mother, Yi You and Mu Yu live in a courtyard house. I'm really worried, so I want to trouble you. , let them come back and live first.”

Of course Mrs. Li is happy, Mu Yu is a very good child, and being led by him for a long time is becoming more and more sensible day by day.Besides, Yiyou is her own daughter, so of course she welcomes her back to live with her.

"After all, the Mu family is there."

"Niang Mu and Yiyou don't have to worry about it, I will talk about it myself."

"also."

Mrs. Li didn't hesitate and agreed directly.Yiyou's nose was sore again, Mu Ran had thought everything through.It seems that the matter of going on the expedition is a certainty, and it will not happen as she imagined. Suddenly, an imperial decree came and said that he didn't have to go.

"This girl, Master Dodo is still crying here."

Although Li Shi smiled, her mood was obviously not high.Compared with Yiyou, when she was born, although Dayue had established a dynasty, the northern and southern borders were not completely settled.At that time, every village would recruit strong men to join the army. If you go to ten, you can return one or two, and they are still missing arms and legs.

Mu Ran is already in a daze, and his legs and feet, although they usually look fine, will limp badly when it's rainy.If something happened to him again, he would be completely disabled, and he might not even be able to be an official.How will my daughter live the rest of her life by then?
"Mother, I just can't help it. Besides, in front of you, is it possible to force a smile?"

Mrs. Li shook her head, and pulled out a box from behind: "The steamed stuffed bun shop will open on the [-]th, and I want to give half of it to you two. It happens that Erya can settle accounts at home, so come over and help me manage the accounts."

"mother!"

Mu Ran and Yiyou made voices of disapproval at the same time: "How can this be done!"

"What? Is it possible that you still want to have them all, and you all seem to disapprove. Erya, you have to save some for Changsheng anyway."

While speaking accusations, Li Shi had a playful smile on his face.Mu Ran suddenly understood that his mother-in-law was afraid that something would happen to him, and the whole family would not be able to live in the future.Immediately he clenched his fists, those who fought in those years were much more heroic than him, and there were not a few people who killed more enemies than him.However, most of the soldiers were missing arms and legs and were sent back to their hometowns directly.Although they are subsidized by the imperial court, they can't get down to the land, and they are inferior to normal people in everything they do. One can imagine the rest of their lives.

He was able to be an official because of his familiarity with General Liao and his almost invisible disability.If this time is unlucky, the county lieutenant may have to give up to someone else.What will Yiyou do then, is it possible to go back to Yunling Village with him and manage the Mu family's sixty or seventy acres of land together?
How could the young daughter-in-law, such a green and juicy beauty, be like ordinary village women, whose cheeks were tanned and palms roughened by the whole day's work?

"Mother, I still have some money. If I can buy another shop, I will add it to the bun shop."

Yiyou thinks about it and thinks it's okay, she's not thinking about herself, but for Li Shi.Although married to Lord Chang, a woman has the dowry to be confident.In case Mrs. Li sees it wrong in the future and finds a mean wife for Changsheng, with this half of the steamed stuffed bun shop, she also has the last way out.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Li refused: "The steamed stuffed bun shop needs so much money, you might as well add a new shop. Erya's dim sum is not a skill, if you have time, you can make some pastries, whether you make money or not, you have the right to relieve your boredom." .”

Yiyou followed her words and thought about it, she didn't have the leisurely mood of official wives enjoying flowers and reciting poems.Although she was worried about Mu Ran not being able to show her face in public, she could buy a few little maids to teach them, and it would be a ready-made business at that time.

"Okay, I'll ask Master Chang about this again."

Mrs. Li nodded hurriedly, her daughter has a shop, and her life will not be too bad in the future.Looking at Mu Ran with a complicated expression on the side, she felt that she was thinking too much.Back then, Mu Ran was young and just an ordinary soldier, yet he was able to come back whole.Everything is better now than before, and he should be fine.

Yiyou watched Li Shi gradually come back to her senses, she didn't come here today to talk about the bun shop.

"Mother, did Master Chang send someone here?"

"It has been negotiated, and the wedding date is set on the first day of February."

"The first day of February? This is too soon."

Mu Ran also nodded in agreement: "If it's for me, mother, you don't have to."

Mrs. Li smiled: "Where do you all want to go, this is the date calculated by Mr. Yin Yang himself. Don't worry about it so much, Erya is good to prepare luggage for Mu Ran."

Yiyou nodded hurriedly, and then asked Mrs. Li about some of the female workers.For the few pairs of boots I made earlier, Mrs. Li helped sew some places.Now she wants to make a leather jacket with her own hands, but she doesn't know how to sew the leather so that there will be no traces.

"The formation is different, and it's easy to sew it airtight, as long as the formation is dense enough."

Mu Ran couldn't understand, so he went out to guide Chang Sheng and Mu Yu to practice swords.The two of them were sitting in the room, and Yiyou also began to ask for advice little by little.If you don't ask, you don't know, but when you ask, she feels a little overwhelmed.This formation is really simple, just a cross.Compared with the most commonly used upper and lower stitches, the number of stitches required for the cross matrix is ​​four times that.

"Mother, what year and month do you have to do this?"

"Why don't you bring it and I'll make it for you. It will take about four or five days."

Yiyou hurriedly shook her head, this time the clothes were for Mu Ran to wear to the north, she wanted to make them herself.

"Is it possible to get bigger?"

"You are really the lazy daughter-in-law that the old people say. You can't wait to sew a quilt when you pick up the needle and thread."

After finishing speaking, Li patted the quilt on the side, and Yiyou looked at the big stitches that fixed the cotton, one stitch was about three inches long.

"No way, can a person wear such a big stitch? It's enough to sew a bellyband bag. Mother, let me stop the kang screen I embroidered for you first, and make clothes for Brother Mu."

"What Kangping?"

Yiyou hurriedly covered her mouth: "It's not that my mother is going to get married, I prepared it in advance, and only now have I embroidered both sides. It's not that my daughter doesn't respect you, but that Brother Mu really can't wait."

Li Shi was angry and moved, she knew how big the project of Kangping was, and she knew how impatient the girl was.Unexpectedly, for her to get married, she would quietly make that kang screen, how could this not move her.

"Forget it, mother can't control you when your married daughter splashes water."

Yiyou hurriedly burrowed into her arms, revealing her dimples, pursed her mouth, and called out in a long voice: "Mother"

"What is this, how did you twist the twist?"

The smile on Li's face is even more real, this is her own daughter, acting like a baby in her arms.With her good looks, even if she doesn't act like a baby, some people will love her.

"Mother, what's the priority, the daughter is not the water that was thrown out."

"No, no, mother agrees to everything."

"Not angry?" Yiyou raised her neck from Li Shi's arms and looked at her face.

"Okay, don't make trouble."

"Really?"

"Someone will come to your door in a while and say "Bazi". If you let people see you like this, the streets and alleys will say that there is an extra little cat in our house."

"Meow"

The mother and daughter laughed together, and Mu Ran, who was outside, also showed joy when he heard it.Let the little daughter-in-law live here, and he can go out with confidence.Although he was thinking about other things in his mind, the movement of swinging the knife in his hand did not stop.While teaching Changsheng, he should also be familiar with the moves and ways of the year.

When Mu Ran came home in the afternoon, he was stewed with chicken soup again.Different from the past, Yiyou always feels that today's soup is extra delicious.

"Brother Mu, did you add anything new?"

"Stay for a while longer, lower the fire."

Yiyou leaned closer, saw a streak of pot ashes on his face, and wiped it off casually.

"It's hard work for you. It's fine if you get used to it in the future. You don't have to work so hard."

Mu Yu, who was gnawing on the chicken leg, also nodded: "The chicken leg is old after being boiled for too long, and the meat is not as delicious."

"You can't stop your mouth if you eat it, so the soup tastes better."

Yiyou watched the bickering between the two brothers, and silently counted the remaining fourteen days, always feeling that the scene in front of her was pleasing to the eye.Usually she didn't realize that parting was imminent, but she felt that she couldn't get enough of Mu Ran.

Holding the chopsticks, she muttered, "It would be great if I could draw."

"Painting?"

"Well, draw a picture of our family and put it away. In the future, Mu Yu will be able to see it when he grows up, and occasionally I will."

Mu Ran's eyes lit up and he started painting.Carrying such a painting in his arms, he would be able to see his daughter-in-law anytime he went out with the army in the future.

"Mr. Tie can paint, and his paintings and calligraphy are famous throughout Yunzhou."

"But Mr. Tie is so famous, will he really come to paint for you and me?"

"Don't worry, I will invite you tomorrow."

With Mu Ran's words, Yi You suddenly felt confident.Without him in the future, I can always look at the paintings, so life should be easier.

Covering her cheeks with a soup bowl, she counted silently, 30 days a month, twelve hours a day, so many things can be done in one hour.How many things did she have to do to pass the few months after Mu Ran left.

Sitting in front of the dowry full of melancholy, Mu Ran walked in, looked at her hesitantly, and whispered something in her ear.

"what?"

Yiyou pointed to the mirror, he actually wanted to be here.

"I read from the book that it is easy to conceive like this."

The sorrow of parting in her heart dissipated immediately, Yiyou looked at Mu Ran in front of her, although he looked serious, but she always felt that there was something different behind him.

"It's so cold, don't think about these things."

Mu Ran touched his nose and walked out disappointed.Not long after a gust of cold wind blew, he brought in two stoves again: "This way it will be warm."

"Too much charcoal fire."

"Our family can still afford that little thing, baby, you will make this happen for me."

Yiyou was lying on the table. She had heard Chen Deren mention these tricks in her previous life.However, Chen Deren considered himself an upright gentleman, and she was also a one-hearted person. Seeing that he said it was an act of fornication, she would naturally not mention it again.

In this life, she was not that stupid. Maybe men like novelty and excitement.She doesn't know how easy it is to conceive like this, but she knows all about Mu Ran's flamboyant things.If he was as glib as Chen Deren, she might as well pretend to be stupid and refuse him directly.It's just that he is so serious, and he just spent an afternoon cooking chicken soup for her, and spent all the money in the family to buy a shop under her name.

"It's not good to be seen."

Mu Ran's eyes lit up, the little daughter-in-law didn't directly refuse, there is a reason for this.

"Our house is solid, close the doors and windows so you can't even see it, you can't even hear it."

As he spoke, he stepped forward and spontaneously let go of her bun, his big palms occasionally lingering on her neck uncontrollably.He touched Yiyou's cervical spine, and even her tailbone felt numb for a while.

"itch."

Twisting her body, she sat up and bumped into his arms, and then his free hand reached into her skirt, clamped her between his legs, and put her on the dowry.

The dowry is about the length and width of a forearm, thanks to her slender figure, she can sit on it firmly.

Biting her lips tightly, she curled up in his arms: "Can't you stay here?"

Mu Ran, however, seemed to lose her hearing, and pulled off her belt straight away.The fire was burning vigorously, and the naked|exposed skin was exposed to the air, so it didn't feel cold at all.With her clothes off, Mu Ran turned her around, the light from the oil lamp hit the mirror, and she saw her own figure in the mirror.

"what!"

The figure of Mu Ran came over from behind, and at some point he also took off his clothes, and the two merged into one in the mirror.His face was sullen, and his hands were inserted across the neck, extending down through the collarbone.The intertwined figures were reflected in the mirror, and she hurriedly lowered her eyelids.

But the mirror was really too long, and she looked down, and she happened to see the place where the two legs met.

"Go back to the kang."

Mu Ran stared blankly at the mirror, seeing such a beautiful scenery in front of him, his hands were like creamy skin.If he were to stop at this moment, it would be better to shoot an arrow through his chest.Ignoring the annoying words of the little daughter-in-law, he grabbed her with his hands and wrapped her in his arms.

The oil lamp was exhausted and turned off, and the moonlight shone in through the paper window, adding a dim silhouette to the picture.Between the square inch dowry, Mu Ran's eyes showed crazy obsession.The unprecedented excitement also gradually made Yiyou blend into it. In front of her was the husband-in-law who was carrying eight sedan chairs to marry her. They could do this.

Since it was so pleasant and the time before parting was short, why didn't she sink together?
Breaking through the hurdle of thinking, the date of fish and water, the oldest rhythm between heaven and earth has also begun to enter a new harmony.

After tasting the sweetness for the first time, Mu Ran had a feeling of not knowing what was going on.Leaving all the military training to Liao Qiting, he stayed in the courtyard all day, trying to find something delicious for his daughter-in-law during the day, and looking for new tricks at night.

After racking his brains, heart-tiring and sweet things, after he occasionally saw the photo album of his little daughter-in-law at the bottom of the box, there was only sweetness left.Yiyou completely forgot about the existence of that book, she could only regret when she woke up every morning, why her willpower was so weak, and even if he teased her just a little bit, she would be defeated.But this remorse is only for a short moment. They are husband and wife, so they should be like this.

Another stitch was made, the last thread was cut, and the leather jacket and pants in front of him finally took shape.One of Mu Ran's county lieutenant's uniforms is armor. She has groped for it, and she can't wear ordinary robes when she wears armor.

Although sheepskin is hard to come by, she still decided to focus on practicality and made this close-fitting clothes.The wool on the sheepskin has already been removed during tanning, and the leather surface is a little cold, so she made it slightly off the body, and a thin layer of underwear can be added inside.

Stretching, she let out a long sigh.It took more than ten days, and finally finished it before he was about to leave.These past few days, Mu Ran has been extremely clingy, so she has to do it secretly.Otherwise, if he sees it before it's finished, he will definitely ask her to cut it smaller and change it for his own use.

"Honey, try my milk tea."

Yiyou folded the clothes and took a sip of the steaming milk tea.The aroma of tea covers up the colic in the goat's milk, and the saltiness of the salt is not as greasy as the sweetness.

"Isn't this difficult to cook?"

"It's not difficult, as long as there is fire."

"When my husband goes out to fight, if there is not enough food for the army, then he will grab two milk-producing cows from the Beiyi people and make tea every day to satisfy hunger."

Mu Ran made a note of this. In the previous years, when the army of the court went to war, they only used the rations sent from the rear.As for these frontier specialties, from General Liao down, they kept an attitude of keeping them at arm's length.Most people think that the Beiyi people are really different from the Dayue people. What they eat is evil. If the Dayue army uses them, they will be stained with evil spirits and lose the battle.

This seemingly absurd reason was regarded as the truth by the marchers, and they dared not go one step further for many years.

"Well, the leather jacket is ready, let's put it on and have a look."

Mu Ran shook it off, feeling something was wrong: "This is too fat."

Then she looked at her little daughter-in-law, and then at the padded jacket next to her, as if she was guessing how many layers of padded jackets would be able to support the new clothes.

"Brother Mu, what are you thinking, this is for you."

"Me? Didn't you say that I don't need to wear this, you just wear it."

Yiyou took out a pair of gloves and a pair of boots from the cage, which she made out of leftover materials.The gloves show fingers, and it is very flexible to do something.The boots have a double bottom and are made of three layers of linen. Although the linen is not as comfortable as cotton, it is stronger than cotton.Inside she sweetened thick cotton, and inside she ate sheepskin.

"I heard that the snow over there is better than ours, so I specially made the boots longer. When you step on it, the snow won't penetrate the soles of your shoes or get into your ankles."

"Have you been busy with this for half a month?"

Yiyou nodded: "Hurry up, it's finally finished today. My mother will get married tomorrow, and I really can't delay that day."

Mu Ran sat on the kang, touching his boots and clothes over and over again, his hands trembling, but his lips were silent.

"You try it on, if it doesn't fit, I'll change it right away."

Seeing that he was not moving, Yiyou simply moved the brazier over, took off the cotton robe for him, and picked up the leather jacket to make gestures.

"Let me do it."

Mu Ran put it on in twos and twos, and the sheepskin coat just stuck to the middle coat, leaving about two fingers away.

"Fortunately, I'm really afraid of changing it if it's not suitable. It's really terrible to change it."

"Silly baby."

Mu Ran hugged his little daughter-in-law, his language was so barren, no words could express his mood at the moment.

"Husband, you must be more careful, I always feel..." Yiyou grabbed his hand and put it on her lower abdomen: "I always feel that I should be really pregnant this time."

"I'll be back safe and sound."

Mu Ran clenched his fists. Although he set off on February [-], he had to leave for Yunzhou in the afternoon of the first day of the new year.Time was running short, and he couldn't even stay and watch the scene where Mu Yu and Changsheng entered the Mengxue School.The little daughter-in-law treated him so well, how could he be willing to leave early.

At this moment, he secretly made a decision, he will not fight like before, he will try his best to protect himself.

The night before the farewell, the couple lay on the kang, each telling about the past.The sound of the watch came, and the two of them clasped their hands together, the morning star lit up, and Mu Ran looked at the familiar little daughter-in-law, just about to get up quietly.

Yiyou suddenly opened her eyes: "Today is your husband's birthday, I will make you a bowl of longevity noodles."

"it is good."

Although Yiyou doesn't cook often, her cooking skills are first-class.A noodle several meters long is pulled out, steaming steam rises, and the noodle is put into the pot.

Listening to the gurgling sound in the pot, Mu Ran felt that his heart was as warm as that pot of boiling water.The little daughter-in-law had thought of everything for him, and when she was so busy, she hadn't even forgotten her birthday, which he had never deliberately mentioned.

When the noodles were served, Yiyou's eyes were a little moist.Chopsticks picked it in, but the noodles broke in half.

"How to do?"

She was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, which was not a good sign.The eyeballs snapped off, she couldn't do anything well.

Mu Ran stretched out his thumb to wipe away the tears for her.Then he picked the noodles into two bowls: "Look, baby, it happens to be cut off in the middle, we are half of each other, and each of us will live a long life."

Yiyou smiled through tears, and grabbed his hand: "Well, half of each person will eat it in one sitting."

Mu Ran nodded solemnly, he would definitely finish eating in one sitting.He brought the noodles to the dining table, but there was a large table of dishes.

"When was this prepared?"

Yiyou counted the dishes, and there were exactly eight: "It's a wedding banquet prepared by Master Chang. The wedding date is set for today. The cook is ready-made, so he prepared it earlier and brought it to the table. You can taste it, and you will be more happy .”

Mu Ran was silent. Apart from respecting his mother-in-law, he also respected Master Chang in his heart.In order to match his departure time, he mobilized all the power of Wuzhou Zhai and arranged the wedding on the first day of February at the earliest.Knowing that the wedding would have to wait until evening, he must not be able to make it to the wedding banquet, so he brought a table over by himself.

So after dinner, when he came to Shen's house, he kowtowed to Mrs. Li extra.

"Mother, please take care of Yiyou with Master Chang."

Yiyou hurriedly pulled him up: "What are you doing, fortunately there are not many people here."

Mrs. Li also stood up: "Erya, she is my daughter. I take care of her as a matter of course. You don't need to thank me for this. But brother, you must be careful when you go. Although you generals should protect your family and defend the country , but don't forget that the Bao family is still in front of the Wei country, and these people in the family are waiting for you."

"Mother's words, Mu Ran will keep in mind."

Yiyou secretly wiped away her tears, and she didn't know this feeling until she was parting, as if a piece had been broken in her heart.Although it was possible for that piece to come back, the tearing pain at that time was unavoidable.

"Mother, it's time for you to dress up. My daughter is here to wash your hair."

"No, someone will come later, you two will sit in the back room."

Looking up at the radiant Li Shi, although there is melancholy in her eyes and her figure is quite thin, she is in excellent spirit.Yiyou didn't refuse anymore, and at this point, just letting her look at Mu Ran quietly was a great happiness to her.

Opening the curtain and going in, Mu Ran began to babble again: "It's up to you whether you want to move to my mother's place or not, and remember to find Uncle Qian's son if you have anything to do. Although Uncle Qian has left, Xiaoqian has taken over his affairs. Everything The yamen servant and I have some friendship, if you come to the door, they will definitely not sit idly by..."

Yiyou held his hand: "You said it last night, I know, even if you leave, you will arrange everything for me to walk sideways in Yun County."

"Well, remember to write me a letter every five days."

"I will, and you too, don't just report the good news but not the bad news."

Yi You urged repeatedly that this was an agreement between her and Mu Ran.Although the army does not allow family members to follow, the Holy One has specially approved family letters. Generals like Mu Ran can send five letters back every month.

As the sun rose and set, Chang Sheng and Mu Yu also walked in.After entrusting the two of them to study and practice martial arts, it was time for Mu Ran to leave.The sound of firecrackers was heard not far away, and it was Master Chang's welcoming procession that started to leave.Mu Ran got on the horse and patted himself on the chest.

There was a creaking sound of paper. It was a family portrait drawn by Mr. Tie.The appearance of the family portrait is the same as the snowman the three of them made in the yard that day.Mr. Tie didn't give it directly after the painting was finished, but took it back and made a painting for each of them.

What Mr. Tie uses is not the splash-ink landscape that Dai Viet has inherited since ancient times, but a painting technique that came along the Silk Road.He modified it so that it can be traced on paper with the ink of traditional Chinese painting, so that the characters drawn in this way are lifelike.Just looking at the painting is like seeing yourself.

The one in Mu Ran's arms is her own solo painting.

The sound of firecrackers is still thinking, but Yiyou's ears are getting harsher.The festive gongs and drums made her parting at the moment extraordinarily desolate.Forcibly forcing back the tears, she put a hand on her shoulder, it was Li Shi who was dressed in red.

"Brother Ran, remember, defend your home and country."

"Remember!"

Taking a last look at Yiyou, Mu Ran raised his whip and ran towards the gate of the city without looking back.Behind Yiyou lay on Li Shi's shoulder, but she couldn't hold back her tears anymore.

"This boy, he will come back."

Yiyou nodded, hypnotizing herself over and over again.Just treat her as a girl from the Shen family before she is married.After doing enough psychological construction, she felt Li Shi's stiff shoulders, and when she looked up, she saw several members of the Shen family.

Immediately, all the anger that had been suppressed for half a month came to the fore!
