Wan Chaotou looked at Su Hanchu carrying the basket and Jun Moye carrying firewood. It was obviously the first month of the year and the weather was still a bit cold. There were still beads of sweat on their foreheads.
"Mr. Jun, young madam, you two have adapted very quickly."
Su Hanchu smiled and spoke.
"Although life is a bit hard now, it is stable and secure. When I was the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion, I had to be busy all day long in the imperial city, and occasionally encountered some intrigues. Now in the northwest, the villagers think They are all simple and ordinary, and it is a good feeling to live an ordinary life like ordinary people."
Looking at the smile on Su Hanchu's face, it seemed as if he had no complaints about this exile.
At this time, Jun Moye had already put down the firewood, walked over and spoke calmly.
"Wan Chatou, we have known each other for several months. Since we are here, we have to stay for dinner today. It just so happened that today we went up the mountain to cut firewood and caught two pheasants. They will be cooked and served as a side dish for us to drink. One cup."
Wan Chatou originally came to check out the life of the Jun family, so he naturally stayed here without any courtesy.
Su Hanchu hurriedly took out the chicken from the basket and went to the kitchen to make a pot of chicken stewed with mushrooms.
During dinner, there were two bowls of wine on the table in front of Wan Chaitou and Jun Moshi.
Wan Chaitou spoke while eating the food.
"Master Jun, are you willing? The prince of Qin, who is so noble and well-dressed in the imperial city, now has to chop wood and cook by himself."
Jun Moye picked up a bowl of wine and toasted Wan Chai's head.
"Everything in this world has its own destiny. There are so many willing and unwilling ones."
Then his eyes fell on Su Hanchu.
"What's more, I now have a good wife by my side and a peaceful life. All the past events in the imperial city have become a thing of the past."
Wan Chatou happened to see the couple looking at each other and smiling. Both of them looked relieved, and felt a little satisfied in their hearts. The most feared thing about escorting an exiled prisoner is that when they arrive at the place of exile, the exiled prisoner is in good health. , and then he was unwilling to live a normal life peacefully. Now it seems that the former eldest son of Prince Qin is indeed relieved.
"Young Master Jun's wife is indeed a good wife. When Mr. Jun and your wife got married, I didn't have time to ask for a glass of wedding wine. Today, I will borrow the wine in my hand to wish you two a happy marriage and support each other until they grow old."
The couple got up late, and of course Su Hanchu had tea in his hand.
"Thank you Wan Chatou. We, husband and wife, will definitely live a good life in the future."
Wan Chaitou took a sip of wine and said while picking up vegetables.
"You two have helped many young, old and weak along the way. However, you have already arrived in the northwest, and you still have so many people left behind. Are you planning to let them become members of the Jun family?"
There was no trace of panic on Jun Moye's face, and he calmly reached out to pick up the vegetables.
"It's all bad. Our Jun family doesn't need any servants now. Besides, we don't know how to do any work by ourselves. But you also know that my wife is kind-hearted. This aphrodisiac sister was abandoned by the family and has a child.
Wan'er's mother also went on the road, and they followed us all the way. At this time, they were penniless. If our Jun family didn't care, how would they live as orphans and widowers?
As for Jiang Like and others, as long as there is some family care on the way, they will not be reduced to following our Jun family all the way. They are all half-grown children, and they were all pampered when they were in the imperial city.
We originally thought that we would stabilize them first and wait until they learned how to farm and live a life. Then we would let them live alone. This would be the end of the fate of supporting each other along the way. "
Upon hearing this, Wan Chaitou looked at the other two tables. The children were sitting quietly, and Chuntao and the others also looked anxious. The dishes on the table were not touched much. Indeed, if the Jun family didn't care about these people, they might have arrived in the northwest in vain.
"I just said something more unintentionally. You and your wife know what's appropriate, so you just have to know what's right."
Jun Moye smiled and spoke.
"Don't worry about everything. Although we persevered through this journey, many people have suffered a lot of physical injuries. Sister Chuntao was also injured when she was protecting her children when she was a bandit. Although she was lucky enough to survive, He lost his life, but in the end he hurt his foundation. These old, weak, sick and disabled people, who can’t do anything important, come to drink with us.”
Wan Chaitou also picked up his bowl and clinked glasses with Jun Moye.
"Okay, drink. It's a rare opportunity to have a drink with Mr. Jun."
It wasn't until the sky completely darkened that Ping'er lit a candle and Liu Shan lit a fire for warmth and lighting that Jun Moye and Wan Chaotou finished drinking.
The two of them sent Wan Chai's head to the door, and Su Hanchu said with a smile.
"Wan Cha Tou, in another half month, our house will be built. At that time, we will call You Cha Tou and Ning Cha Tou, as well as a few Jie Chai who have not returned, to come and support us and celebrate. We have a family. New homes.”
When Wan Chatou saw that the two of them were not shy about their future lives, he also smiled and spoke.
"Okay, let's take some time to celebrate together, and we'll say goodbye today."
Jun Moye cupped his fists and said.
"Wanchatou, go slowly, let's have another drink next time we come."
Wan Chai nodded and left on horseback.
Seeing Wan Chatou leaving on horseback, Su Hanchu helped Jun Moye.
"How do you feel? Did you drink too much?"
Jun Moye leaned half of his body on Su Hanchu's body.
"Well, my head feels a little uncomfortable."
Wan Chatou, who was escorting prisoners like this, would naturally not get drunk easily. However, Jun Moye didn't drink often in the imperial city before, so it was already pretty good that he could persist until now.
After helping him into the house, Ping'er brought hot water. Su Hanchu took care of Jun Moye to wash up before helping him lie down on the bed to rest.
Jun Moye naturally hugged her into his arms, but Su Hanchu was not sleepy at all. According to past practice, the escorting officer only needed to investigate the life of the exile once.
Then the local officials will pay more attention to them, but Wan Chaitou just promised to come to celebrate the construction of the house, which proves that they will not leave in a short time.
The longer they stay here, the more things they may see. It seems that the contribution of these poor leaders from the last gift may not be enough.
Jun Moye seemed to notice that Su Hanchu was not sleeping, so he put his arms around her and rubbed her hair.
"Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Su Hanchu moved and faced him.
"I'm wondering when You Chatou and the others will leave. If they don't leave, we will have to keep a low profile. Being low-key makes it easy to feel frustrated. I don't want to really live this kind of life of going up the mountain to collect firewood."
Jun Moye opened his dark eyes when he heard this, and looked at Su Hanchu's unhappy face in the night with the faint candlelight.
"Don't worry, you can do whatever you want. We are not rebelling, we are just running for life. With the credit we had last time, they will turn a blind eye.
It really doesn't work. After our house is built, if they really come, we will give them some benefits. If you are still not at ease, don't you have some poison or something in your hand? "
