King’s House Kindergarten

Fu Cheng said softly, "Second Young Master is very afraid of the lord. Today is New Year's Eve, so I'm afraid of mistakes, so after spending a long time in the school grounds, I'm afraid that something will go wrong."

When Fu Cheng mentioned the second son of the Marquis of Weide, there was nothing special in his tone.

But when Shen Yue heard the words of the second son of the Marquis of Weide, she would still make a "squeak" in her heart. These words were almost a reminder of Liang Ye's life earlier. If it wasn't for Zhuo Yuan, Liang Ye's life might have been lost. .

Fu Chengjian was stunned, and then said, "Don't worry, Madam, this is the army, the prince manages the army strictly, and no one in the army dares to mess around."

The second son of the Marquis of Weide was a well-known **** in Beijing, so Fu Cheng would be wrong, thinking that Shen Yue saw the second son in the army and felt that he was going to cause trouble.

Shen Yue just came back to her senses and nodded to him.

What Fu Cheng said was, this is the army, Zhuo Yuan is still there, there is nothing to be afraid of, and the other party doesn't know her.

Fu Cheng said again, "The lord doesn't like the second son very much. Yesterday he asked Weidehou to send the second son back. Weidehou wanted to wait for the New Year's Eve to let the second son go back to Beijing, so the king should not have thought that the second son would still be here today. "

Shen Yue didn't answer. If Zhuo Yuan knew that the second son of the Marquis of Weide was there, he wouldn't let her come here.

Shen Yue nodded.

Towards the end, Fu Cheng said again, "Second Young Master has changed his usual behavior in the past few months in the army. He has done some things. Madam, this way."

Fu Cheng led Shen Yue to another place.

When passing by the main tent, I saw people moving inside, and the outside of the tent was covered with guards.

Fu Chengdao said, "This is the main account. On weekdays, troops are dispatched, the staff and deputy generals are all in the main account, and the lord is here right now."

Shen Yue turned her eyes curiously.

Turns out, he's mostly here...

Shen Yue stopped and watched for a while.

"Madam's here." Fu Cheng said softly.

Shen Yue followed behind him.

Fu Cheng took her around the camp again. When it came to the injured area, Shen Yue was actually a little scared. She glanced at it from a distance, but there were not many people unexpectedly.

Fu Cheng replied, "The battle for the past half-month has ended, and the soldiers with some serious injuries have been sent back to Luan City to recuperate, and the rest of the slightly injured soldiers have almost recovered."

This half-month has given the military some time to breathe.

Shen Yue nodded.

Fu Cheng led Shen Yue to another place.

At the injured part, Lou Qingyun got up just in time, and the military doctor handed over, "Doctor Lou's prescription is very helpful for stopping bleeding, thank you in advance."

Lou Qingyun smiled, "It's good to be useful. Today is the end of the year, and I won't stay in the army for a long time. Lord Zhu is leaving."

The military doctor retained, "Today is the New Year's Eve, the army will drink and eat dumplings. Doctor Lou, why don't you keep one?"

Lou Qingyun smiled again, "I'd better go back to Luan City, and go to a place next to it tomorrow."

"Then let me send Doctor Lou back to Luan City." The military doctor personally arranged.

Lou Qingyun was disrespectful.

After leaving Beijing, I went all the way to the northwest. Half a month ago, the battle was the most intense. There were countless casualties, and there were not enough military doctors in the army. Many doctors were recruited in the private sector. Take care of the injured.

The previous scene was indeed tragic, but he had never seen such a scene before. The wounded had to be sent back in batches, which was shocking.

He will never forget these scenes.

At that time, I didn't sleep at the injured area for three days in a row, because the offensive on the front line could be stopped for three days and three nights, and the wounded continued. At that time, people were supported by perseverance, and they did not dare to close their eyes, because they were afraid that it would be difficult to wake up again if they closed their eyes, and there was no one to treat these injuries.

Now that the war has subsided, the doctors who were recruited by the people have all returned, and Lou Qingyun stayed here to improve the prescription for stopping bleeding, so he stayed for a while longer. Almost relieved now, he can continue to go elsewhere.

The military doctor sent him to the carriage, "Doctor Lou, there will be a period in the future."

The wheels galloped away, and the military doctor watched him leave.

...

After coming out of the main tent, Zhuo Yuan went back to his tent, and Sun Yong said the same, "This wave of spies will be sent out, and they will be able to return in the morning. If there is news, they will be sent to the official residence as soon as possible."

Zhuo Yuan nodded, came to the camp, stopped again, and whispered, "Be careful, it's been too quiet recently, even if there's no war ahead, there will always be friction, it's impossible not to catch even a single scout or meticulous work. , let someone go to investigate secretly; catch someone, send it to me, I have something to ask."

"Yes." Sun Yong responded.

There was no one else around, and at the end of the day, Sun Yong said again, "The other party's hands and feet are clean, and there is no trace of exposure, and he obviously wants to drag the Weide Marquis into the water..."

Zhuo Yuan said softly, "It's about the heart of the military, so the matter is big, don't wrong the loyal ministers and generals, but if there is a tumor, you need to catch it, otherwise the border will never be peaceful, look for opportunities."

And there must be a chance.

He was seriously injured before, and the morale of the Qiang runner-up was boosted. He took advantage of his injury to release several false news. increasing day by day.

The other party will definitely find opportunities.

Because there is no chance to find another chance, Xu is that this battle will really end with Qiangya withdrawing troops.

The other party must not want to see this result, so as long as the war starts, the other party will be eager to act.

If there is action, there will be flaws.

This time, it must be clear that the inner ghost in the army.

It's just a matter of the military's heart, even if he really finds out the inner ghost, he has to think of a foolproof strategy before moving.

"Go." Zhuo Yuan ordered.

Sun Yong bowed his hands and left.

Fu Cheng was guarding outside the tent, that is, he had already led Shen Yue around and came back.

Her armor was so heavy that she could rest for a while when she returned to the tent.

Zhuo Yuan raised the curtain, and Shen Yue's eyes looked nervously.

She has just found a position where she can lean on and lean on, which saves effort and makes her less conspicuous. Even if other people come in, she will only think that she is lazy and will not cause unnecessary trouble.

Seeing that it was Zhuo Yuan, Shen Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhuo Yuan smiled, "Why don't you sit?"

Shen Yue said softly, "Relying on it also saves effort."

Charcoal was burning in the tent, but it wasn't cold. Zhuo Yuan took off the cloak and hung it on one side, and stepped forward, "The school is about to start making dumplings, and I have to stand for a while..."

It means that there will be no breaks later, and you will have to stand for longer.

Shen Yue sighed, "Then I'll sit for a while..."

The corner of Zhuo Yuan's mouth twitched slightly, and he led her to the position before his case.

The location before the case was almost as conspicuous as the sand table, Shen Yue was slightly surprised, "It's a little conspicuous here..."

Zhuo Yuan nodded solemnly, "Yes, why don't you go and lie down on the bed for a while?"

Shen Yue was stunned.

Compared with the bed, she still sits better in the desk.

After Zhuo Yuan teased her, he was in a good mood, "It's really not funny."

"..." Shen Yue was at a loss for words, but fortunately she sat down, her intuition felt much more relaxed.

Zhuo Yuan approached and continued to tease her, "Ayue, guess, have I ever thought of you here?"

This is his sleeping tent, Shen Yue's face is slightly red.

Zhuo Yuan leaned closer, "Of course I want to, but also Xiao."

Shen Yue's face flushed red.

Zhuo Yuan couldn't help laughing, and Fu Cheng's voice sounded outside the tent, "My lord, it's starting from the school grounds!"

To drink and eat hot dumplings around dusk, it’s time to start making dumplings!

Shen Yue's attention was attracted.

"Go, go early and go back to Luancheng." Zhuo Yuan led her to get up.

Shen Yue nodded.

After leaving Zhuo Yuan's sleeping tent, Fu Cheng and Shen Yue followed behind Zhuo Yuan.

Although the previous school field was very lively, it was completely incomparable with the current one.

The crowd is full of people, and it is full of lively atmosphere. It seems that there is a lot of Chinese New Year atmosphere suddenly in the army.

This battle has been fought for more than a year, and most of the soldiers in the army are homesick. Cooking dumplings during the New Year's Day has a little more meaning in the middle-aged time at home.

"General!" On the battlefield, the generals in the army are called generals. Only people like Sun Yong and Fu Cheng who are originally from the Pingyuan Palace can be called princes.

After Fu Cheng talked to Shen Yue, Shen Yue could easily distinguish which ones were Zhuo Yuan's direct line and which ones were garrisoned in other places.

Although Shen Yue was not tall and burly, but there were originally many soldiers of this age in the army, and with the armor on, they were a bit bluffing, and they followed him together, completely unobtrusive.

There are almost all high-ranking generals in the army today.

At the end of the new year, this dumpling meal in the army is a big event.

"General!" "Your Majesty!" All the generals bowed their hands one after another.

Zhuo Yuan joined these generals, and Fu Cheng tugged Shen Yue's sleeve and shook his head at her.

Shen Yue really saw that all the guards around the generals were not keeping up.

Zhuo Yuan led these more than 20 generals to patrol and greet the soldiers who were making dumplings on the school grounds in turn, and occasionally stopped in front of some tables to say a few words.

The soldiers were nervous and excited.

Zhuo Yuan smiled and said, "Well, it's well wrapped, it doesn't look like a dumpling anyway!"

The crowd burst into laughter.

Zhuo Yuan patted one of them on the shoulder and continued to walk at the front of the team.

Because there are too many people in the army, there are too many dumplings to make, and the kitchen alone cannot complete the task, so during the middle-aged season of the army, dumplings are made collectively. It is a tradition to eat dumplings. This is the first time Shen Yue has seen such a grand dumpling. Dumpling scene.

Zhuo Yuan also went further and further in front of his eyes.

Soon, the specific figure could not be seen.

Shen Yue retracted her gaze and turned to look at a few tables in front of them making dumplings. No wonder Zhuo Yuan just said that it doesn't look like a dumpling anyway.

The diamond-shaped dumplings have...

Shen Yue couldn't help but smile.

Fu Chengze whispered, "This is just the beginning..."

Shen Yue looked at him.

Fu Cheng continued, "Wait for the prince and the others to walk around for a while, and if you talk about it, you will be presumptuous, making dumplings, playing songs, and everything."

Shen Yue asked curiously, "Is it the dumplings you made here, do you eat them here?"

Fu Chengdao, "There aren't that many pots, but the pot is huge, and one pot can hold several dumplings, so it's especially lively when you can't even open the pot and start rushing to eat it."

Shen Yue seemed to be able to imagine this scene.

Fu Cheng reminded again, "Madam, if someone warmly invites you to eat dumplings later, in all likelihood, they are unfamiliar, the military is rough, and it's okay to swallow the dates whole, Madam, please don't eat them, the lord will kill me. …”

Shen Yue couldn't help but laugh.

Fu Cheng's mouth should be because he has been with Zhuo Yuan for a long time, or Zhuo Yuan has been with him for a long time.

It's just Fu Chengyan, the crowd nearby has started to make dumplings and sing along, which is the so-called pull song. Anyway, the speed of making dumplings can't be slowed down, and the singing can't be left behind. Zhuo Yuan and others have already gone far, here is really true It started to riot.

One place started to make a noise, and all the places started to make a noise.

Gradually, the whole school ground was filled with lively atmosphere of singing and making dumplings. In fact, it was quite shocking, especially when the sun was setting and the afterglow was dancing in the light dust. A few minutes of excitement and festivity during the New Year's Eve...

This is what the military looks like!

There are those who see death as home when defending the family and the country, and there are fireworks that value human feelings.

The corners of Shen Yue's mouth twitched slightly.

Intuition that this armor is not very heavy when worn on the body...

About two quarters of an hour, Zhuo Yuan and the more than 20 generals who had just turned back. Zhuo Yuan glanced at her, smiled slightly, didn't stop, but continued to talk to others, and soon someone came forward Zhuo Yuan answered the request.

One after another, a cauldron was carried over.

See the pot is coming!

The whole school field seemed to be boiling.

It's just that the boiling is boiling, and everyone has made a look like they want to grab the pot, but the appearance is back, and the pot has successfully reached the place where they should be. Shen Yue wanted to count how many pots there were, but the counting got messed up.

About a quarter of an hour later, the pots were all in place, and there were soldiers beating the drums of war.

All of a sudden, the noisy school ground instantly quieted down, all the soldiers were well-trained and stood up, not even the sound of a needle falling, and everyone's eyes turned to Zhuo Yuan.

Shen Yue also looked at Zhuo Yuan.

Zhuo Yuan in the army is different from the usual Zhuo Yuan, he is not a bear at all!

Zhuo Yuan in the army is always dressed in military uniform. He is the king of Pingyuan who gritted his teeth with hatred in the Qiang Asian country. At such a grand moment, everyone looked at him quietly, and he was the only focus of the entire camp at the moment.

Like everyone else, Shen Yue looked at him reverently.

He first clenched his fists and coughed lightly.

Shen Yue seemed to stop breathing, waiting for his impassioned congratulations.

Soon, there will be a resounding, "down the pot!"

Shen Yue was stunned!

But no one at the scene seemed to think that there was any problem, and as soon as Zhuo Yuan's voice fell, the entire school field burst into cheers rushing to take the pot.

Shen Yue blinked, but she didn't react.

But there is a first group that can't wait to prepare the second wave of water and then make dumplings!

Shen Yue was stunned, no wonder... just now, Fu Cheng told her, don't delay the dumplings sent by others, it's too fast.

But the atmosphere on the school ground was very warm, and there were warm words everywhere, "It's out of the pot!" "It's out of the pot!" "It's out of the pot!"

Shen Yue was surprised at first, and then she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Soon, there were several other places who took the lead in serving the pot, and brought the bowl to Zhuo Yuan and several generals in front of the school field!

"My lord! The first wave of new dumplings! Eat while it's hot!"

The one called Wang Ye is Zhuo Yuan's direct descendant.

Shen Yue can already tell the difference.

Zhuo Yuan smiled, the whole person seemed to be plated with a layer of golden light under the setting sun. He stretched out his hand to take the bowl handed over by the other party, but unlike the other generals on the side, he took it, thanked him, and then gave it to the guard standing on the side, and Zhuo Yuan stuttered the first dumpling himself.

Sun Yong couldn't help but laugh.

The generals next to him couldn't help but laugh.

But the atmosphere in the entire school field seemed to have suddenly reached a new peak, and it was full of cheers and applause.

Shen Yue had never seen such a powerful aura.

I've never seen it before... Zhuo Yuan almost ate a dumpling so raw...

Soon, the soldiers in the army started rushing to catch dumplings, and the dumpling cooking activity entered the next stage, which was to change dumplings in other pots to eat, and the crowd began to flow.

It happened that the case table in front of the school field was also set up, and Shen Yue followed Fu Cheng and, like all the other guards, paced behind Zhuo Yuan and the other generals.

Today's New Year's Eve, the army is full of festivities and lively, and one after another cooks bring serious dumplings up.

There were many generals sitting around, and there were more guards behind him. Shen Yue stood behind Zhuo Yuan, not noticeable.

Xu was hungry, and when Fu Cheng handed the dumplings to her, her stomach growled in disappointment.

Fu Cheng was so embarrassed that he lowered his head to eat dumplings, did not dare to raise his head, pretended not to hear anything, and hoped that it would be best for the lady not to find out that he heard.

On the other hand, Zhuo Yuan turned to look at Shen Yue, she almost choked.

Zhuo Yuan retracted his gaze.

Everyone else saw that Zhuo Yuan was in a good mood today.

After the two rounds of dumplings were eaten, some people in the army began to sing. Most of the songs in the Western Qin army were high-pitched and enthusiastic. One of the soldiers sang, and the rest echoed. For a time, the camp was filled with the singing of the army. In general, people who hear it are all enthusiastic, as if there is a golden horse and iron horse in front of them.

Even at the front of the school grounds, many generals and guards sang along.

Zhuo Yuan didn't speak, but his face was full of smiles.

Fu Chengshi followed an impassioned way, holding a dumpling bowl in his hand.

Shen Yue laughed along.

While singing, a soldier brought up the wine jar, the one that Shen Yue had seen earlier and was bigger than she looked.

With a sound of "嗙", the wine jar was opened, and the strong aroma of wine came, and the guards behind each general stepped forward to get the wine.

Shen Yue followed behind Fu Cheng, and it was Shen Yue who placed the first bowl of wine in front of Zhuo Yuan.

Zhuo Yuan looked at her with a smile on his lips.

Fu Cheng also took two bowls and turned them back, keeping one bowl in his hand and handing the other bowl to Shen Yue.

Shen Yue was slightly surprised, for her?

Fu Cheng nodded and said softly, "The prince will give a toast later, and all the soldiers in the army will drink."

Shen Yue looked down and saw that the wine bowl that Fu Cheng brought for her was actually slightly covered at the bottom. It is said that the liquor in the army is strong, and Shen Yueguang almost choked when he smelled it.

The wine bowls in the hands of all the generals were full, and the wine bowls in the hands of the soldiers on the campus were almost full.

Then, some soldiers beat drums.

The sound of the drums fell, and the entire camp returned to its earlier silence, except for the sound of beeping and burning fires, and there was no other sound. Zhuoyuan walked up to the wine bowl, and in front of the three armies, he talked about fighting the enemy bravely, defending the homeland, protecting the north of Qiangya, guarding the peace of one party, and dying...

His words are very long, there are impassioned, majestic mountains and rivers, and there are tragic and solemn mourning for the dead soldiers.

But at this moment, all the excitement and tragicness are immersed in the heartyness of the bowl full of wine in his hand.

Shen Yue had never looked at him so quietly.

She has seen his arrogant child, the patience and gentleness with which he treats the children in the house, his calmness and prudence when he is in trouble, and his grief when he misses his deceased father and brother, but now, it seems like another Different from him, a "juvenile" who is more plump and flesh and blood, no matter how time treats him, he will always be the "juvenile" Qingzhi, the "juvenile" Zhuo Yuan...

After one bowl was drunk, the entire school field was filled with, "Northern Yu Qiangya, defend your family and the country!"

Shen Yue blushed slightly.

He swallowed half a mouthful of spirits in his throat, choking a little, Zhuo Yuan reached out to support her, and secretly held her.

On New Year's Eve, the army does not return home without getting drunk.

After three rounds of drinking, some sang in the camp, some said that they missed their wives and children, some said that they missed their deceased family members and comrades in arms, and there were bowls after bowls, shouting generously to pay for the national disaster, and there were also people lying on the battlefield drunk...

This is the only day of the year where you can stay drunk.

A round of generals and soldiers came forward to toast, Shen Yue could not count how much wine Zhuo Yuan had drunk, the bonfire in front of the school field was burning vigorously, and the firelight reflected on his face, just reflecting a touch of delicate facial features and outlines, Impressive looking...

***

It was originally said that Youzheng was leaving, but when Xu Zhengzheng hadn't gotten up yet.

It snowed heavily in the sky, and it seems that there will be a heavy snow tonight...

Zhuo Yuan ordered Fu Cheng to prepare the carriage, and Shen Yue helped him back to the sleeping tent.

"Are you all right?" Shen Yue worried about him.

The lamp was lit in the sleeping tent, reflecting the shadows of the two on the tent, Zhuo Yuan smiled, "It's okay, I'm happy today."

Zhuo Yuan should be a little drunk, and while washing his face with the towel on one side, he sighed, "It's a bit late tonight."

Back to Luan City, the carriage takes two hours. The night road has to be slower, I am afraid it will take more than two hours, and when it is time for Luancheng, it should be Zishi.

Zhuo Yuan put down the towel and said to her in a deep voice, "I'll make the carriage go faster, marching fast, the road may be bumpy."

Shen Yue put her hands behind her back and nodded.

Zhuo Yuan said again, "With such a heavy snow, I don't know the situation on the road. I'm worried that I won't be able to go back."

Shen Yue was slightly surprised, she almost forgot.

Shen Yue walked to the door of the sleeping tent, lifted the curtain, and saw that the snowflakes the size of goose feathers were still falling. At such a speed, snow could quickly accumulate at the border. This was just the camp, and I didn't know whether it had already accumulated snow on the way.

Just in time, Fu Cheng turned back and said, "My lord, it's snowing heavily. The people who just came back from Luancheng said that there was snow on the road, and they came back on foot in the next section. Right now, I don't know if they can pass the carriage on the road..."

Shen Yue's heart sank slightly.

Several children in the inn must be waiting, Xu Shishou can't sleep.

Zhuo Yuan asked about the current situation again, and Fu Cheng shook his head.

All in all, can't go tonight...

Zhuo Yuan was silent for a long time.

Today in the middle of the army, they are all soldiers and soldiers who are fighting abroad, and he has to be there; but there are still children from the Pingyuan palace in the post house. They have come all the way from Beijing to Luancheng just to see him. A heavy snow made him unable to have both.

Zhuo Yuan's heart seemed to be covered with a sinking stone. He stood in front of the sand table and didn't speak for a long time.

Fu Cheng withdrew from the sleeping account.

Shen Yue also walked to the sand table, "It's snowing well, Ruixue is a good year, isn't it?"

Zhuo Yuan turned to look at her.

Shen Yue took a red flag and planted it on Luancheng, and said warmly, "Actually, Ah Si and Xiao Wu really miss you very much, and they are already very happy to see you, but God is not beautiful. , but as long as we can see Sixth Uncle and Uncle, how about one day earlier and one day later?"

Zhuo Yuan pharynx in his throat.

Shen Yue continued to laugh and said, "Also, Qingzhi, the babies have grown up. Not only can they cry and laugh, they can play and make trouble, but they also think about others. Don't underestimate them."

Zhuo Yuan lowered his eyebrows and smiled, with broken awns in his eyes.

Shen Yue took another flag and planted it in the direction of central Beijing, "As long as you are safe, it's fine to return to Kyoto earlier or later."

Just be safe.
