On the ninth day of the lunar month, the light snow is clear, the north wind is still cold, the grass on both sides of the official road is depleted, and there is a depressed scene.

Outside the pavilion next to the official road, several carriages are parked at this moment. Next to the carriage, Xie Xiaowan was reluctantly saying goodbye to the three girls of the Fei family. The time of several months of getting together has passed in a hurry, and today is goodbye, and I don't know what year and month we will meet, especially for the women in the boudoir, there may be no time to see each other again.

Fei Maozhong held a glass of turbid wine and sighed: "Ziqian, if you say goodbye today, I'm afraid you will have to wait until next year's township test to get together, come, let's have this parting wine." ”

Xu Jin felt a sense of parting in his heart, drank all the turbid wine in the cup, and said lightly: "The people are dedicated to the people, I am afraid there will be great changes next year, we must be vigilant and take precautions on weekdays, and there is no need to rush to leave as for the township." ”

Fei Maoxian and Fei Maozhong glanced at each other awe-inspiringly, they naturally understood what the "big change" Xu Jin was referring to, in fact, the Fei family had been strengthening the security measures of the manor, such as raising and thickening the walls of the house and hiring more martial artists to protect the courtyard.

"That Ziqian should also take care!" Fei Maoxian's expression was solemn.

"I will!" Xu Jin said calmly.

In fact, Shangrao County is still relatively safe, because King Ning's forces in Shangrao County have been cleared by Sun Sui, plus Rao County is where Guangxin Mansion is located, the city is high and thick, and there is a thousand households stationed outside the city, as long as King Ning does not send a large army to attack, it can be safe.

Moreover, if King Ning wants to rebel, the first step must be to attack the military towns of Nankang and Jiujiang to gain control of the Yangtze River, and then go down the Yangtze River to take Anqing and occupy the city of Nanjing.

Therefore, it was impossible for King Ning to send a large number of troops to attack the strategically inconsequential Shangrao County. As for Leadshan County, it is a bit dangerous, because Fei Hong is here, this former cabinet scholar with strong appeal, King Ning will definitely not let go, and Fei Hong's existence will endanger the safety of his rear.

Fei Maozhong looked at the sun that had risen and said: "Ziqian, it's not too early, let's set off, or you won't be able to catch up with Shangrao County before dark." ”

"Take care!" Xu Jin arched his hand and walked out of the pavilion, and the women beside the carriage also knew that they were about to leave, so they reluctantly waved goodbye.

Xu Jin walked to the side of the carriage, Xie Xiaowan and Yue'er got into the carriage first, Fei Jixiang and Fei Xiaoyu walked away very cooperatively, leaving only Xu Jin and Fei Ruyi.

The weather was cold, the wind was cold, Fei Ruyi was dressed very thickly, but it did not affect her beauty, and the snow-white goose down shoulders set off the pretty face more picturesque, delicate and moving.

Xu Jin said lightly: "The weather is cold, your body is weak, pay attention to adding more clothes in the morning and evening, and your diet can't be too light, your age is the time to grow your body, you should eat some meat in moderation, drink more bone broth, don't be afraid of gaining weight." ”

Fei Ruyi's face was dyed with a touching red glow, his heart was warm and sweet, and he felt a little weird, obviously he was one year older than him, but this little man was still "old-fashioned" and instructed himself to pay attention to his diet. However, Fei Ruyi likes this feeling of being pampered very much, no wonder Xiaowan's sister is always happy, and said with a little coquettishness: "People know, the son should also pay attention to take care of his body, don't study too late, Ruyi wishes the son to win next year." ”

Xu Jin smiled and said in a low voice: "Not only will you win the title next year, but you will also have the title of the gold list the year after next, or how to marry the beautiful Ruyi girl home." ”

Fei Ruyi's face turned red, like a ripe apple, and the sorrow that was originally in his heart was instantly replaced by shyness, and he bit his cherry lips and said, "Childe, don't break your promise!" ”

With the sound of the whip in Erniu's hand and the sound of the horse's hooves, the carriage drove along the official road in the direction of Shangrao County, gradually moving away, and then disappeared at the end of the bend where the grass was withered......

It is more than 100 miles to Shangrao County by land from Leadshan County, and the speed of the carriage is only twenty or thirty miles per hour, plus they have to stop and eat on the way, so in the evening, Xu Jin and others returned to the county seat of Shangrao County.

Outside the West City Gate, the brother-in-law Xie Yidao, who had already received the letter, had been waiting here for a long time.

"I've kept my brother waiting!" Xu Jin hurriedly got out of the carriage and greeted his brother-in-law.

Xie Yidao was wearing a fast hunting uniform, holding a single knife in his hand, the nineteen-year-old young man was straight, heroic, and said with a smile: "I didn't wait long, my brother-in-law and sister have been tired all the way, let's go home and talk again." ”

"Brother Ziqian, then I'll leave first!" Han Chuang said hello to Xu Jin and went home from the city with his baggage, looking at the helpless appearance of this goods, it was estimated that he was in a hurry to go back and show off to the old man.

It is said that Han Chuang sat in the passenger seat all the way and came back by Xu Jin's hitchhiker, and even saved the car and horse fare.

Xu Jin and the others returned to the house in Xishi, saying that since they left home in early July, it has been nearly five months now, and the familiar house has become a little unfamiliar.

Several pepper trees planted in the yard have died, but there are several strings of dried peppers hanging under the eaves, which are estimated to be seeds left by the eldest brother Xie Yidao, and Xie Yidao helped guard the house during this time.

As soon as everyone arrived home, the hard-working Xie Xiaowan and Yue'er were busy cleaning, and then shopping for vegetables and cooking. After being away for nearly half a year, and now that I finally return to my home, it feels good.

Under the control of the two women, the whole house was quickly cleaned up, and a sumptuous meal was put on the table before it went dark.

After the meal, everyone gathered around the stove and chatted, and a pot of rice wine was warmed on the stove, which was fragrant and warm.

Everyone chatted for a while, and Xie Yidao suddenly said a little embarrassed: "Brother-in-law, third sister, the eldest brother will get married after the New Year, and I am afraid that my brother-in-law and the third sister will have to go on a trip at that time." ”

Xie Xiaowan said in surprise: "The eldest brother is going to marry Sister Cuihua, what day will it be after the year?" ”

Xie Yidao nodded and said: "Dad's letter said that the house in the town has been repaired, and there is a hurry, so it was decided to do it on the sixteenth day of the first month." ”

Xu Jin said with a smile: "Then congratulations to the eldest brother, Xiaowan and I will definitely be present to drink the eldest brother's wedding wine." ”

Xie Yidao smiled and said: "Thank you, brother-in-law, it's just that you have worked hard, you just came back from outside, and it is cold and you have to go to Yugan County again." ”

Xu Jin waved his hand and said solemnly: "Big brother, if you say this, you will see the outside, well, so let's do it, Xiaowan and I will leave for Yugan County on the eighth day of the first lunar month." ”

In the thirteenth year of Zhengde, the rolling wheel of history moved forward along his trajectory, but it seemed that there had been a slight change, on the day Xu Jin returned to Shangrao County, the current emperor Zhengde of Xuanfu in the northern border town also returned to the capital, and Jiang Bin, a celebrity who had been accompanying the escort, naturally returned to the capital......
