Xu Qingmo didn't feel sad at all, but smiled and said, "So, do I look more handsome in military uniform than my eldest brother?"
Princess Zhengyang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Your elder brother just told me that when you returned to Beijing, there were many young girls throwing handkerchiefs and purses at you, which made Meng Hetong very angry! "
"Then there is no way. Who said that I am naturally beautiful, even if I wear men's clothes, I still look good, earth-shattering?" Xu Qingmo raised his eyebrows, "Fortunately, I was born a girl. If I were really a man, I'm afraid my eldest brother would I can’t marry such a beautiful sister-in-law!”
Princess Zhengyang raised her hand and hit Xu Qingmo on the shoulder: "What nonsense are you talking about? Even your sister-in-law is making fun of you!"
Xu Qingmo smiled and hugged Princess Zhengyang's arm, and said in a rare coquettish way: "Thanks to my sister-in-law during this period, I have to take care of my mother and the family business. It is really hard! But thanks to my sister-in-law, we Only when you are outside can you go to war with peace of mind! It’s just a pain for my sister-in-law!"
"I have food, drink, and fine clothes in the capital. Why do I have to work hard? Every day I just look at the account books and patrol the shops. It's not like you, who always sleep in the open air in such a cold place. Your eldest brother has frostbite scars on his ears, how hard it is for you to live with a daughter!" Princess Zhengyang's eyes turned red as she spoke.
Xu Qingmo looked at it, feeling helpless and helpless.
It was true that Bian Guanhan was suffering, but she was used to it herself, but in their eyes, it was particularly hard. Although Xu Qingmo understood that it was nothing, she couldn't stop them from talking, so she could only listen.
After cleaning up, Xu Qingmo went to help Mrs. Xu take stock of the emperor's rewards. The three women looked at the gold and silver jewelry one after another, with no expression on their faces. So when Ning Yuanhou came with Xiao Pangdun in his arms, he saw It's just like three people touching each other and whispering.
"What are you talking about?" Marquis Ningyuan couldn't help but be curious, and the little chubby boy in his arms also made a noise.
"We are saying that Your Majesty is so stingy, and the rewards are not enough to spend!" Xu Qingmo turned back to look at Ning Yuanhou, with a look of resentment on his face.
Marquis Ning Yuan paused for a moment, turned around and left silently.
Madam Xu has always been in charge of the storehouse at home, so naturally he won't say anything, but Xu Qingmo dared to do so because he blatantly disliked the lack of gifts from His Majesty!
After a year, the family sat down to eat together again. Everyone was quite happy. Everyone drank some wine. Mrs. Xu and Princess Zhengyang were the first to get drunk. Marquis Ningyuan and Xu Yanquan naturally had to accompany them. go back.
Xu Qingmo, who was left alone, slowly walked towards the yard alone.
Hua Ying and Qu Lian were driven back to rest early by Xu Qingmo, and she walked slowly in the yard alone.
Today happened to be the fifteenth day, and the moon in the sky was particularly round. It happened to be a day of reunion. It was rare for their family to sit together and have a reunion dinner. Everyone was very happy, including Xu Qingmo.
She just doesn't know why, but now she suddenly misses someone very much and wants to see him. Unfortunately, this is the capital, not the border, and she can't see him at any time.
She was now by the pond, looking up at the moon in the sky, her eyes a little dull.
"What are you thinking about?"
Xu Qingmo was startled, turned around suddenly, and saw the person he wanted to see: "Why are you here?"
"Suddenly I really wanted to see you, so I came!" Meng Hetong looked at Xu Qingmo and said softly.
Xu Qingmo drank wine, his cheeks were slightly red, but his eyes were particularly clear: "Your injury hasn't healed yet, so you can't fall from the roof!"
"I came in through the gate, how could I fall off the roof?" Meng Hetong looked at Xu Qingmo helplessly, stepped forward to smell it, and then couldn't help but frown, "Have you been drinking?"
"Yeah!" Xu Qingmo nodded.
"You must have drank a lot!" Meng Hetong had really seen her drinking capacity when they were at the border.
Xu Qingmo did not answer, but looked directly at Meng Hetong: "What a coincidence!"
"Huh?" Meng Hetong was worried that Xu Qingmo would fall, so he held her hand and walked slowly towards the yard.
"Just now I was thinking that this place is not as convenient as the border. When I want to see you, I can't see you casually. I didn't expect that when I turned around, I would be there!" Xu Qingmo suddenly stopped.
Meng Hetong looked back at Xu Qingmo, a little strange: "What's wrong?"
Xu Qingmo looked at Meng Hetong for a long time, then took a step forward, stretched out his arms to hug Meng Hetong's waist, leaned his face against his chest, and listened to the heartbeat in his heart: "Meng Hetong, we are going home!"
Meng Hetong was very surprised. He felt a little stiff all over. After a long time, he reached out and hugged Xu Qingmo: "Yes, we are going home!"
"So, when will we get married?" Xu Qingmo slowly raised his head and stared at Meng Hetong's chin.
Meng Hetong couldn't help but swallow, trying to control his accelerated heartbeat: "In a few days, we should get married!"
"Actually, I heard it!" Xu Qingmo laughed, "You said, let me be your wife as a way of repaying your kindness!"
Meng Hetong was a little strange, but said nothing.
"You gave me a lot of candied haws, but it's a pity that I can't taste them. Every time you sit down, you tell me a lot. In those years, you were the only one who came to see me. I seem to owe you a lot. Candied haws." Xu Qingmo stretched out his hand and gently stroked Meng Hetong's cheek, "Meng Hetong, you said, God asked me to come back not only for revenge, but also for repayment of kindness!"
Meng Hetong became more and more confused as he listened. He knew that she was drunk, so he coaxed her to go back: "You've drunk too much, let's go back and rest, okay?"
"I thought you were dead!" Xu Qingmo refused to leave and said abruptly, "I thought you had died on the battlefield at that time. I was very scared, but I had no time to feel sad. I secretly visited Mrs. Yongchang Hou. She knelt in front of the Buddha and cried for a long time, and I cried for a long time too... It's okay, it's okay, you're back..."
Meng Hetong's eyes turned red. When he was buried in the snow, all he could think about was Xu Qingmo and his mother. He gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain in his legs, and crawled out with his hands.
His fingertips were worn out, dripping with blood, and even bones could be seen faintly. He wanted to give up more than once, but every time he was about to fall asleep, Xu Qingmo's smiling face was in his mind. Just like this, little by little he climbed out.
"Stupid girl!" Meng Hetong hugged Xu Qingmo tightly, lowered his head and kissed Xu Qingmo's forehead gently.
