A song of music and music makes spring like the sea.
Thousands of lights illuminate the night like day.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival.
Inside the brightly lit Yancheng City of Shanggu County.
A young newlywed couple makes their way slowly through the crowds in a bullock cart.
Walk straight towards the city gate.
It was already midnight.
The city gates that had been closed in the past were still wide open at this time.
Countless people with their families were constantly coming and going in front of the city gate.
The laughter and laughter that appeared from time to time seemed to convey the joy of the festival to the cold city gate.
For a moment, the cold city gate was tainted with a bit of festive softness.
Yan Nanxing held a torch and drove the ox cart slowly and slowly away from the brightly lit Yancheng City.
Walk straight towards the darkness not far away.
An ordinary-looking young woman wearing a long cloak sat quietly behind him.
Arriving soon.
Suddenly, a biting cold wind blew outside the dark Yancheng City.
The torch in Yan Nanxing's hand was blown brightly and dimly.
"Don't be afraid."
Seeing this, Yan Nanxing slowly stopped the bullock cart on the side of the road, then quickly turned to look at the woman behind him and softly comforted her.
"As long as my husband is here, I will have no fear in my body or mind."
The ordinary-looking young woman replied softly.
"got windy."
"It's not far from the city now."
"Otherwise I won't go back tonight."
Yan Nanxing unconsciously slowed down his voice after hearing this.
He doesn't know why.
Since my sister-in-law found a matchmaker for her.
Although I met many young women one after another.
But none of them were satisfied.
Until the third day of the first lunar month, when I visited my nephew's private school with my eldest brother and sister-in-law, bringing gifts.
After an unexpected encounter with the daughter of the Du family in Yanxian City.
Just a glance.
His gaze could no longer be taken away from the maid next to the daughter of the Du family.
later.
Under the recommendation of my nephew's private school teacher.
Yan Nanxing visited Du's house with gifts.
Unexpectedly, the Du family master heard that he wanted to marry him again.
Don't wait for his words to finish.
His expression immediately changed.
If it weren't for that private school teacher, he would still be somewhat thin-faced in Yanxian City.
What awaits Yan Nanxing is definitely not a polite refusal.
After being politely rejected, Yan Nanxing couldn't wait for long.
I had to leave in a hurry.
However.
Just when Yan Nanxing took his sword from the Du family's concierge in despair.
Du's eldest son, who personally escorted Mr. Du outside the mansion, couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he saw this.
After some questioning.
Only then did we know that Yan Nanxing had left the Wang camp with him.
And they both hold the position of uncle.
It's just that Wang Daying is too big.
Therefore, the two never had any communication.
After learning Yan Nanxing's name.
Du's eldest son looked at the Yan Ling Dao at Yan Nanxing's waist and his eyes instantly became hot.
Just ask.
Is there anyone in the entire Wang's camp who doesn't know that there is a man named Yan Nanxing, whose wild goose-winged sword was given by the prince himself?
At the warm invitation of Du's eldest son.
Yan Nanxing stepped into the Du family door again.
I don’t know what Du Jijie, the eldest son of Du, said to the Du family master.
This time, the Du family master changed his previous attitude.
Without hesitation, he agreed to Yan Nanxing's marriage to his daughter.
Unexpectedly.
After hearing this, Yan Nanxing was not as ecstatic as he expected.
Instead, he hesitated to speak with a look of embarrassment on his face.
Seeing this face of the Du family master
There was also a faintly unhappy look on his face.
Later, under the mediation of Du Jijie.
A rather absurd misunderstanding was resolved.
It turns out that the person Yan Nanxing wanted to marry was not the daughter of the Du family.
It was a maid named Ning Jing beside the daughter of the Du family.
After the misunderstanding is cleared up.
Although the Du family master felt regretful, he still personally adopted Ning Jing as his goddaughter and gave her the surname Du.
After many twists and turns.
Yan Nanxing finally embraced the beauty on the eighth day of the first lunar month.
Although the period is short.
But there are still a lot of etiquette that should be followed.
And even though Du Ningping was born as a maid.
But he grew up in a big family in the city, and was often accompanied by the daughter of the Du family.
All the knowledge and knowledge of a rich man's daughter are as good as their own.
That's why.
After Du Jingping married into the Yan family, he was deeply loved by Yan's mother and sister-in-law.
After the wedding, the Yan family seemed to be in a happy mood.
...
...
Outside the city of Yanzhang.
Du Ningping thought for a moment after hearing the words.
Finally, he shook his head slightly and said softly: "Let's forget it."
"My husband will return to the military camp early tomorrow morning."
"If you live at home, your parents can still send each other off."
"If you live in the city, I'm afraid your parents will be worried."
The words are over.
Du Jingping took off his cloak and put it behind Yan Nanxing.
Then he tidied it up very gently.
"Husband, just drive with peace of mind."
"I am not afraid of darkness and cold wind when I hide behind my husband."
Du Ningping smiled and immediately shrank behind Yan Nanxing.
"this......"
"All right."
Yan Nanxing couldn't help being slightly stunned when he heard this.
But seeing Du Ning's face under the firelight, she was smiling.
And the smile is full of determination.
"But you need to wear this cloak."
Yan Nanxing quickly took off his cloak and put it behind Du Jingping without refusal.
"You and I wear the same clothes."
Seeing Yan Nanxing's face, he couldn't refuse.
In desperation, Du Jingping had to find the middle way.
The words are over.
Du Jingping glanced around and saw that it was getting dark.
There was no one in the road for a long time.
Then he quickly stood up and walked to the front of the car, and finally sat down next to Yan Nanxing. He stretched out his arms and put the big cloak on Yan Nanxing's left shoulder.
Yan Nanxing felt the warmth coming from his left shoulder, and his heart beat uncontrollably.
His face was also unknowingly hot.
"Ahem."
"Sit down."
Yan Nanxing hurriedly coughed twice to cover up his strangeness, and then drove the bullock cart slowly forward again.
More than half an hour later.
The bullock cart finally arrived at the Yan family and entered the small courtyard.
After some clouds and rain.
Yan Nanxing, who still couldn't sleep, slowly got up and lay on the side of the bed.
He looked seriously at the person next to him on the pillow who was still slightly sweaty on his temples.
There was a hint of confusion in his eyes from time to time.
Time passed quietly in the long night.
When the eastern sky dimly lights up.
Yan Nanxing, whose eyes were full of determination, carefully stood up from the bed.
As if he was afraid of waking up the people around him.
After carefully putting on the clothes neatly.
Yan Nanxing then tiptoed out of the new house.
And there were several packages placed on a brand-new rocking chair outside the new house.
Yan Nanxing put the package on his back and stared deeply at the door of his new house for a moment.
Finally, he slowly turned around with a silent sigh.
However.
From the moment Yan Nanxing carefully stood up from the bed.
Du Jingping had already woken up from his deep sleep.
"well."
Du Jingping sighed silently.
Then he carefully stood up, dressed, and walked to the window sill.
"You have me at home, please relax."
Du Jingping carefully pushed open the window sill.
With reddish eyes, he looked at the figure carrying a bag, walking further and further away.
He didn't know whether Yan Nanxing could return home safely.
He only knew that she was the first wife of Yan Nanxing, a famous family member.
He has the responsibility and even more obligation to protect this small family for Yan Nanxing.
.......
.......
Two people entered the small courtyard.
Yan Jinzhu, Yan's mother, and the eldest wife of the Yan family stood outside the courtyard wall.
Watch quietly as the bullock cart drives away.
When the figure of the bullock cart completely disappeared from sight.
Yan Jinzhu sighed softly and turned to look at Yan's mother.
As far as the eye can see.
Yan's mother's face was already covered with tears.
Yan Jinzhu, who was about to say something, could only sigh deeply again when he saw this.
The comforting words that he wanted to blurt out were swallowed back by him.
On the trail of Yanjia Village.
Yan Nanxing sat on the bullock cart.
He looked at the green wheat fields on both sides of the trail without saying a word.
"South Star."
I do not know how long it has been.
Yan Dongxin, who was driving in the front, suddenly turned around.
"What's wrong, brother?"
Yan Nanxing came back to his senses and couldn't help asking softly.
"it's okay no problem."
Yan Dongxin turned his head and sighed silently, then shook his head slightly.
Do not know why.
He obviously has a lot to say.
But when it came to the matter, he couldn't even say a word.
Until the ox cart arrives at the official road.
Yan Nanxing stepped off the bullock cart carrying the package.
Yan Dongxin, who was full of things to say, was already sweating on his forehead.
But he still couldn't even say half a sentence.
"Brother."
"ah?"
Yan Dongxin, who was furious, couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
"If I can't come back."
Yan Nanxing put down the package and spoke slowly.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Before Yan Nanxing could finish speaking, Yan Dongxin hurriedly interrupted.
"Brother."
"Hear me out."
"If I really can't come back."
"My parents all depend on my eldest brother."
Yan Nanxing spoke slowly, regardless of Yan Dongxin's obstruction.
"What a stinky fart you made!"
"You put another one in and try it!"
Yan Dongxin changed his usual dull and dull attitude, flushed and rushed towards Yan Nanxing, raised his head and wanted to give Yan Nanxing a big mouth.
However.
Just when the slap was about to touch Yan Nanxing's face.
Yan Dongxin paused abruptly.
His neck turned red and he roared loudly: "Yan Nanxing! Try another one! If I don't beat you to death, I won't be your brother!"
"Brother." Yan Nanxing looked at the angry Yan Dongxin with red eyes and said, "If you're not afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens."
"What a bullshit contingency!" Yan Dongxin yelled with an angry look on his face: "There is no such thing as a bullshit contingency!"
The words are over.
Yan Dongxin turned his back to Yan Nanxing and bit the tip of his tongue hard, forcing himself not to shed the meaningless tears.
"elder brother."
"I know you don't like to hear it."
"But...but I'm afraid if I don't say it now, I won't have the chance to say it in the future."
Yan Nanxing looked up at the sky with red eyes and sighed deeply.
I do not know how long it has been.
Maybe a quarter of an hour or two.
Maybe more than a hundred breaths.
Yan Dongxin's voice finally sounded on the silent official road again.
"Nan Xing, the older generation often said that good things don't work but bad things work."
"Brother knows what you want to say."
"Don't let your thoughts wander when you're on the battlefield."
"With my brother at home, you don't have to worry about anything."
"My younger siblings are also well-educated people."
"Brother, I believe that my sister-in-law will definitely understand you."
"Just feel free to kill the enemy boldly."
"Our whole family is waiting for you to triumph, get promoted and live a good life."
Yan Dongxin looked at the wheat fields in the distance with blurred eyes, and spoke with a slightly choked voice.
"elder brother."
"I am leaving."
Yan Nanxing slowly lowered his head, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and knelt deeply towards Yan Dongxin.
Then he stood up, shouldered his luggage and strode towards the opposite carriage.
"Look at you! You're farting like a dog again!"
"What do you mean by leaving! That means going back to the barracks!"
Yan Dongxin turned his back to Yan Nanxing and roared loudly.
"good."
"I see."
"Brother, I'm back to the military camp."
Yan Nanxing paused for a moment, then responded loudly.
The words are over.
Yan Nanxing was about to ask the driver to drive.
A figure suddenly rushed out from the path of Yanjiacun.
"Brother Nan Xing! Wait for me!"
"Brother Nan Xing! Wait for me!"
"Brother Nan Xing! Wait for me!"
The figure shouted and ran, and soon passed Yan Dongxin.
Yan Nanxing couldn't help but walk out of the carriage when he saw this.
"How did you come?"
"Now that the camp is full, there is nothing I can do."
Yan Nanxing looked at the figure in front of him and frowned slightly.
The figure in front of me is not someone else.
Surprisingly, it was the day Yan Nanxing returned home.
The old man's son, Yan Mancang, was the first to ask Yan Jinzhu questions.
Later, the elders in the village got into a quarrel over which descendant was the most practical and capable and the most suitable to follow Yan Nanxing to join the army at Wang Daying.
In the end, there was a big fight.
For a while, Yan Jinzhu, who loved to show off, was in a dilemma.
After Yan Nanxing came back, he took over the matter naturally.
That night, he invited young people of the same age to his home.
After a detailed discussion.
Finally a reply was given which was not a reply.
That is, "Those who wish to follow him to Juyang City can come to Guandao in the early morning of the 16th day of the first lunar month."
"After arriving at Juyang City, we will first work in the prince's workshop."
"When Wang's camp recruits troops again in the future, I can make some recommendations to them."
All the young people looked disappointed when they heard this.
That's why.
Yan Nanxing thought no one would come today.
But he never expected...
On the official road in front of Yanjia Village.
"Didn't Brother Nanxing say that he wanted to come to Guandao this morning if he wanted to go to Juyang City?"
Yan Mancang smiled and patted the luggage behind him.
"Did you know that I was talking about going to the prince's workshop to work, not going to the prince's camp to join the army directly?"
Yan Nanxing was stunned for a moment, then confirmed again.
"Of course I know."
"Nan Xing Ge Na
God made it very clear. "
"Go to the workshop to work first. When the military camp is short of people one day, you can find a way to help me join the army."
Yan Mancang smiled and nodded.
"startled......"
"Did you know that this might take a long time?"
Yan Nanxing couldn't help but be stunned for a moment again when he heard this, and then confirmed it repeatedly.
"I know."
"As long as there is hope, I am willing to wait no matter how long it takes."
"Brother Nan Xing, you don't know that I have wanted to be a soldier since I was a child."
"If it weren't for Brother Nan Xing, you would have become the uncle."
"There is absolutely no way my father or mother would agree to my becoming a soldier."
Yan Mancang explained with a smile on his face.
"startled."
"All right."
Yan Nanxing calmed down for a moment and had no choice but to agree.
Not long after.
Yan Nanxing and Yan Mancang said goodbye to Yan Dongxin and Yanjiacun.
He rode the carriage quickly towards the direction of Juyang City.
As time passed slowly, the carriage got closer and closer to Juyang City.
However.
The closer you get to Juyang City.
Yan Nanxing's heart became heavier and heavier.
Nothing else.
I encountered too many robes along the way.
Obviously.
There are definitely not a few soldiers who have the same idea as Yan Nanxing.
