After the Spring Festival, Ruhui tells xiazhong Shantong about her family's affairs, and then sets off for Tongcheng with ningzhan.

Just out of the capital, if Hui is very happy, it's strange to see anything. But after a few days, I couldn't lift up my spirits.

Staying in the wild this day, Ning Zhan said with a smile, "second sister, I didn't know that you thought you were going out for the first time!" That year, the capital was in turmoil. Ruhui went to the Northwest with Xiao.

Ruhui touched her drowsy head and said, "I was young at that time." And when I went to the northwest, I was frightened. I also wanted to comfort the frightened Xiao family. I didn't care about anything else.

Ningzhan saw that she was not right. The next day when she passed the county, she didn't rush to the inn. After a rest, he sent for the best doctor in the county.

The doctor felt the pulse and said that Ruhui was sick from the cold. Seeing that ningzhan's face had changed, the doctor said with relief: "it's just cold. If you find it in time, just take two patches of medicine."

Ruhui leaned on the bed and said feebly, "I thought it was carsickness!" Who knows it's cold? No wonder it's so hard!

Ning Zhan is also speechless: "sister, you can't even tell if you are sick or cold." Fortunately, Ruhui's appearance was abnormal, so he invited the doctor on the safe side. If there is delay, a minor illness will become a serious one.

"That's not how I used to be ill." She used to have a fever all her life, but this time she was dizzy. This symptom is similar to the legendary carsickness.

Ning Zhan doesn't argue with her about this meaningless problem: "first get well, then go on the road." Anyway, they are not in a hurry. It doesn't matter how many nights they have. But afraid that Ninghai and Xiao might be worried, he wrote a letter and sent it.

After Ruhui recovered, she had a rest for another day, and her brother and sister continued on their way. Passing Anshan, the two sisters turned to see Iron Tiger.

Because he didn't write in advance, Tiehu was surprised to see his brother and sister and hurriedly called them in. Hearing that the two brothers and sisters came to see him specially, iron tiger was too happy to close his mouth.

Fu hurriedly packed out his family's rooms, all covered with brand-new quilts. The furnishings in the house are all changed to the best in the house.

After three days in Tiejia, the two brothers and sisters received the highest standard of hospitality. They are not used to it.

Fortunately, three days passed quickly, and they went on their way again.

Chunni and Fu prepared a lot of food for them. For the next two days, both brothers and sisters didn't have to eat hard cakes.

At noon that day, Ruhui was eating a pancake with shallot and eggs, and said, "the second aunt is so good, how could Duan Honglang be such a bad son?"

When Duan Honglang and his wife heard that Ning Zhan and Ruhui had come, they hurriedly came to make contact with each other. If it's just a set of close, they don't pay attention at most, but Duan Honglang proposes to go to Tongcheng with them. But before their brother-in-law spoke, the couple were driven out by Iron Tiger.

When Ning Zhan heard this, he said with a smile, "I can't say that. Every family has a Sutra that's hard to read." Like their family, there is also an iron Fangjia who has been loafing around.

Ruhui said, "you can't say that. I don't think the empress has this trouble. Two princesses and four princesses are so excellent. " Moreover, the relationship between brother and sister is very harmonious. There is no rumor that brothers are fighting for this kind of thing.

Ning Zhan didn't answer. Outsiders think that several princes are as good as princesses. The emperor's empress's Godson has no need to worry about his children. However, he often walks around the palace and doesn't know how beautiful the third prince is. The emperor and the empress have a headache. However, he would not tell Ruhui about this royal Mishin.

How to say it! A woman likes gossip best. She tells her the front foot, but she tells others the back foot.

Skipping over the topic, Ning Zhan said: "it's strange to say that cousin Duan is also very strange. Before, my father told him to work in Tongcheng. He thought the environment of Tongcheng was too poor to go. This time, he cried out to follow us to Tongcheng. I don't know which one is going to cause this trouble. "

Ruhui took a white look and said, "I can't know anything you don't know." She's huddled in the backyard all day. How can she know this!

Brother and sister don't know, but the iron family do. Iron Honglin has been promoted to the rank of official from seven grades. It's only a few months since I was promoted. Duan Honglang knew it, and his eyes were red again.

There are very few literate people in Tongcheng, so the army is especially short of civil servants. A lot of documents, but also hired those who wear the body of the criminal officer to help deal with. Like tie Honglin, who has the reputation of being a scholar and is innocent, he is rare in the army. After he went to work, he devoted himself to the work, especially the overtime work last year. He didn't cry out tired or bitter. So after the spring, I got a promotion.

Iron Tiger calm face says with Chunni: "did you go to see Duan Honglang again?"

Chunni nodded, "I'm going to see you. He asked me to ask kuizu for a job for him. But don't worry, Dad. I've turned him down. "

Iron tiger looks at Chunni incredulously.

"Dad, last time he was asked to work in Tongcheng, he was afraid of hardship. Now, I have no face to speak. "

Iron tiger looks a little slower, saying: "Hongbo is the master, and now Honglin is very successful in Tongcheng. These are the blessings of kuizi. Even if she is a brother-in-law, kuizi has done enough. Don't say Duan Honglang in the future. Even if it's about Hongbo and Honglin, don't worry about it. If they do a good job, kuizi will help them naturally. " If they lose kuizi's face because of their bad job, they will only consume their past love points.

Chunni hurriedly nodded: "don't worry, Dad, I won't ask kuizi for the children's business." The eldest and the youngest behave in a proper way, so they don't need to worry about it. As for the second son, she doesn't want to take care of her. She loves her son.

Iron Tiger said: "I hope you can do what you say."

Back in the room, Chunni sat on the bed, dazed. Duan Dongzi went into the house, and she couldn't help saying, "how did this child become like this? It's light to say that you have no face or skin. "

Duan Dongzi said, "I told you not to see him. You wouldn't listen."

Duan Dongzi is in Tiejia. He always works in silence and never works. So that Duan Honglang thought that his father had no place at home, so he also looked for Chunni when he had something, never Duan Dongzi.

I didn't get any money for the first two times, but I didn't come to her for half a year. This time I was looking for her for a job.

Thinking of this, Chunni was too sad to breathe. "Listen to you, I will not see him in the future." Every time I come to see her, I ask for money or something. My mother is tired.

Duan Dongzi said, "if there's anything, I'll see him."

This is how the couple decided.

After Chuncheng, the two brothers and sisters went for a while. This day, Ruhui couldn't help muttering, "I've been away for several days, but I don't have a village!"

Ningzhan said: "many people died in the war and chaos of the previous years. Those who didn't die fled. Later, the imperial court took over Liaodong and concentrated the few in one place. " Sometimes there are only a few or a dozen people left in a village. This is not Jiangnan. Back on the mountain, these people are likely to lose their lives if they want to run to the village.

Such as Hui Oh a way: "originally such!"

After five days of walking to a town, I found that I didn't even have a washbasin except for bed and quilt when I lived in the inn. When you go out, you can only bear the rudeness.

When eating, look at the big pot of cabbage and pork stewed with vermicelli, potatoes and beef stewed with a northeast hodgepodge on the table. Ruhui has no appetite: "how can I eat this?"

Ning Zhan said with a smile, "this is for the guards. Our food is still good." The people who escorted them to Liaodong are all from Northeast China. These dishes are their favorite.

As long as it's not for her to eat, Ruhui has no problem.

The closer to Tongcheng, the more difficult it is to see people. Looking at the high mountains that can't be seen, Ruhui said, "don't blame that many people don't want to come to Tongcheng. It's too desolate here." After walking for more than ten days, I didn't see a village. There are mountains everywhere. It's not safe for two or three people to go this way.

"Ordinary people, no one wants to go to the border town." Since it is a border city, the conditions are naturally very bad. People walk high and flow low. Everyone must have gone to a good place.

Looking at the towering wall engraved with the two words "Tongcheng", Ruhui said with a breath, "finally it's here." It's not easy to walk for two months.

After entering the city, Ruhui found that the house here was particularly short, and the ash was very ugly.

"Ah Zhan, how can the houses here be so ugly?" It's gray. It's colorless. And there's no one in the street. It's very cold.

Ning Zhan has never been to Tongcheng and cannot answer this question.

The walls of the general's mansion are very high, a large part higher than the houses nearby. But it's also grey.

The steward kept watch at the door all the time. He saw his brother-in-law and brother-in-law hurriedly welcoming them in: "the prince, the second girl, the wife went to the wedding banquet of General Chen's family."

Fang Hui is nineteen years old this year. It's time to talk about family affairs. Since Fang Hui wants to have a bright future in the military, he naturally marries a girl from the general's family. So from the beginning of the year, Xiao often participated in the activities held by the ladies.

Ninghai didn't believe Xiao's vision, so she was asked to help screen out girls of good age and good temper. As for character, he inquired about it himself.

Entering the general's mansion, I found that there was nothing but some pine and cypress trees. In this way, it seems that the mansion is particularly open. Fortunately, they planted flowers on the courtyard corridor where Xiao lived, but they didn't bloom, just a green one.

Entering the room, Ruhui fell on the soft collapse and said with a smile, "I should be able to have a good sleep tonight." These days, I'm basically staying in the wild, so I haven't slept well.

Ning Zhan said with a smile, "then will you come next year?" They agreed to return to the capital in early September.

Ruhui shook her head and said, "no, No." I'm so tired that my bones are falling apart. I don't want to suffer this crime any more.
