On the night of the Spring Festival, it was snowing heavily for a whole night. The people woke up the next day and found that the whole world was pure and flawless.

The emperor climbed the tower and looked at the snow-wool velvet in the capital. The official post conveyed news from all over the country at the fastest speed - heavy snowfall, auspicious snow indicates a good harvest. This is a good omen, and the weather will definitely be good in the coming year.

In the Shenyuan Hall of Pei Mansion, Pei Zhengwen and Pei Shuo did not have much joy at this time.

"Have you really decided?" Pei Zhengwen tapped the tabletop with his fingers.

Standing in front of him was Pei Shuo with a firm look. Compared with three years ago, Pei Shuo grew taller, it can be vaguely seen that he will be a tall and handsome young man in the future.

"I have decided that although the north is not stable, the water and grass have been lush in the past two years, and the two sides will have rest and recuperate. There will be no big battle in a short period of time. After joining the military force, I have enough time and have the opportunity to make achievements, so I don't have to rely on your family to protect you."

Yes, he wants to join the army and follow his father's old path.

During the three years of studying at Nanxun Academy, Pei Shuo gradually learned about the situation there through merchants returning from the north or retired mansion soldiers. In the past two years, God was admiring his face. There was no drought or floods. There was enough rain in the north. The court breathed a sigh of relief. I guess the barbarians were relieved, and the border was peaceful.

It took him three years to think clearly that only when authority is in hand can he protect the people he wants to protect.

"No other reason?"

Although his father is not showing his face and is as clear as a mirror, he can't hide anything from him.

Pei Shuo smiled and said, "I heard that my brother had caught your official seal at the full moon banquet. There will be a successor to the founding marquis in the future. I don't care about this empty title, so I will give it to that little Dou Ding, so I won't make a joke in the future. Compared to being successful, men should make achievements on their own!"

"Damn it, who told me to reflect on these words! He is a man but he is a little chewy and caressed with your brother!" Pei Zhengwen cursed, picking up a volume of documents and throwing them into Pei Shuo's arms: "Come on, let's go in the beginning of spring."

Pei Shuo hurriedly took it. It was the list of the soldiers in the mansion, with his name already on it. "Thank you dad!"

Pei Zhengwen said, "Don't blame me for not saying good things. If you step into the military palace, there will be no room for maneuver. You will stay in the military palace for at least three years. It is useless to cry and call you dad. Three years later, if there is not much war in the north, you can come back. Once the war is in a tight situation, don't expect to come back. It is useless to carry me out. If you die on the battlefield, I will find a way to collect your body."

Pei Shuo was so angry that his teeth were itchy. For A Yao and not to be looked down upon by his father, he would definitely come back alive! "My son took his leave, and he would be the best prepared these days and set off."

A Yao, who was far away in Nanxun, sneezed, "The spring is cold and the young are frozen. Who is talking about me? It's not Pei Shuo again?" As she said that, she tightened the bedding wrapped around her body, and recited the menu while thinking it seemed feasible, so she reluctantly reached out and picked up the brush to write a list - this is the homework assigned by Wangyue, listing a dish for the teacher thanking banquet. The invitation was a juren who passed the examination. The middle peasant family invited 15 to 20 people. This guru banquet should not only make the host decent, and the host enjoys all the guests, but also prevent the host from being short of money after the banquet.

There were a few knocks outside the door, and the bird's nest pushed the door and entered. The whistling cold wind rushed into the room and bumped into the room everywhere, lifting up the tablecloth and blew the curtain. She stepped into the door and immediately hooked the area with her feet, and the cold wind was locked outside again.

He put the food box on the table and saw A Yao’s writing: “Have the girl finished the homework?”

"I know the ingredients used in nine dishes and one soup. I know the ingredients in my mind. The ingredients are not particularly expensive. It takes some brainpower to make the dishes to look new." A Yao replied, moving the little whisker a little, giving up a little bit, "Do you want to sit?"

"Did you sit or not, you take up the entire stool for the bedding. If you give up, you will be no stool." Bird's nest rolled her eyes and said bluntly: "When you see you are afraid of the cold, the girl specially made mutton soup and drink some warmth. You throw this quilt back on the bed and come back!"

When I opened the food box, the hot white mist suddenly wafted out with the fragrance of mutton.

A Yao immediately came over, sniffed deeply, and saliva was about to drip out. She grabbed the bedding and threw it on the bed, and sat upright and waited.

There was a cylindrical bone in the milky white soup. The meat on the cylindrical bone was stewed sour that it melted in the mouth. It still had a taste. The essence of the soup was still in the bone marrow. A Yao picked up the mutton bone and sucked it cleanly. There was no shredded pork left on it. Then she buried her head in the soup. There was no fishy smell, and it was particularly sweet. The mutton smelled strong. After drinking the first sip, a warm current flowed down from the esophagus and warmed all the way to the spleen and stomach.

After drinking the mutton soup with Guokui, he even sweated a little.

A Yao sighed, "The taste of happiness, the enjoyment of the world, how good life is."

Bird's Nest reached out and nodded her head, "This is satisfying, are you so simple about life?"

"Yes, my wish is very simple to eat, eat well, eat fat." A Yao touched her belly that was slightly raised because she had just eaten her full, showed a satisfied expression, closed her eyes and stood up and rushed to the bed: "Eat and sleep warmly, the happiness of life..."

Bed, I'm here~

Hey, why can’t I get through? Hey, why do you have the strength to not let me pass? Who is it? Who is so cruel?

A Yao opened her eyes in confusion, but she didn't reach it at all. The bird's nest grabbed her collar: "What do you want to do? Do you fatten yourself as a pig and go to the girl's chopping board?"

Just as A Yao and Bird's Nest were tying their faces and pulling their collars, the old lady came to pass on the message that Pei Shuo had found him and met A Yao if he had something to do.

"Well, see me?"

A Yao picked herself up and ran to the flower hall to see Pei Shuo: "Is there anything wrong with coming back so early this year?"

"A Yao, I'm leaving." Pei Shuo pursed his lips, "I'm back to see you for the last time..."

"Bao, drink water and vomit and talk again. I haven't seen each other for a few days, so I can't speak? You're just the last time after the New Year. I will live for a hundred years, and you will live for a hundred years!" A Yao's face was dark and took the cup he drank and handed it to his mouth. "You want to go there?"

"Nanxun Bing Mansion is a recruiting soldier. I have a name in the list of soldiers in the mansion." He had already handled the matter here and set off after seeing A Yao back. Three years left, three years was too long, and he didn't know what would happen. Pei Shuo suddenly hugged her tightly: "You have to wait for me, don't forget me, do you know?"

"Pei Shuo, why are you holding me tightly? I can't breathe!" A Yao beat him twice, and Pei Shuo buried his head deeply in A Yao's neck. Seeing that Pei Shuo was reluctant, A Yao hugged him back and patted him: "It's just a recruitment of soldiers in the Nanxun Bing Mansion. Look at the country in recent years... the court has no war to fight. Time will pass soon, and I will occasionally pass by the Bing Mansion to take a look."

Living in the wealthy Nanxun, the people I come into contact with don’t know much about the north. I only heard that there have been good weather in the past two years. This place is not like a society with developed information thousands of years later. A Yao thought the world was peaceful and peaceful like most people. But he didn’t know that the wars in the frontier were flying. Some people picked up their spears and walked out of the towering city, with sharp blades towards the enemy, and turned their backs to the city where they were born and raised, and used their lives to defend their country.

"Yeah." Pei Shuo quickly kissed A Yao on the cheek when he let go, and ran away like a dragonfly. He came back and said, "When I come back, don't find any other child husband!"

After realizing it, A Yao, who was taking advantage of it: "Ah——Your uncle Pei Shuo!"

"Hate, so annoying!" A Yao murmured, treating the cooked pork as Pei Shuo's hand-pulled, add soy sauce, sugar, salt and lard, and stir-fry. The meat floss, which is resistant to the meat and tastes good, is the most suitable for Pei Shuo.

When she packed the meat floss with bamboo tubes, just like that year, she hurried to Nanxun Bing Mansion, but heard the guards at the door saying that this year's recruitment set out to Yanmen a moment ago.
