Chapter 221
Last night there were dense clouds and snow falling, but tonight the sky is a clear blue, with half a cold moon wandering through the ribbon-like clouds.
There were two small stoves placed near the bed in the room, which provided a warm atmosphere. Xu Jin stretched out comfortably, sat up from the warm bed, and saw an oil lamp lit on the table.
I slept until dark, but I didn’t know what time it was.
There is no one in the room at the moment, and Xiaowan and Yue'er don't know where they are. Although there must be servants outside, Xu Jin does not have the "bad habit" of ordering people. Of course, he will not refuse if someone offers to serve him.
, if there is no one to serve him, he will do it himself, and he will have enough food and clothing.
Xu Jin got out of bed, put on his boots, and stretched his muscles a little. He felt in good condition. For more than a year, Xu Jin exercised almost every day and practiced the breathing skills taught by his brother-in-law for more than half a year, although he didn't feel any pain.
What a miracle, but the improvement in physical fitness is still very obvious. Not only are my hands and feet more flexible, I haven't even had a minor cold in more than a year. I have endured such high-intensity physical and energy output in the past few days, and when I wake up
Still so full of energy.
Xu Jin was picking up his gown and was about to put it on. When the door curtain was lifted, Yue'er walked in lightly. Seeing Xu Jin putting on his own clothes, he quickly stepped forward and grabbed it, complaining: "The master didn't call anyone when he woke up.
You don't have to do things like getting dressed yourself."
"I thought you weren't here!" Xu Jin smiled and opened his hands cooperatively.
Yue'er skillfully helped Xu Jin put on the gown and tied the belt carefully. Although the little maid was only sixteen years old, she had grown up in the palace since she was a child. She was probably well-nourished and her body had already developed. She was leaning over
When wearing the belt, it touched Xu Jin's body.
Xu Jin felt Yue'er's soft touch, enjoying it but a little embarrassed, and asked: "Where is Xiaowan?"
"Madam went to the yard next door to talk to mother." Yue'er's sweet face was a little red. After arranging Xu Jin's clothes, she pulled him to sit in front of the dressing table and skillfully picked up a comb to comb his hair.
Xie Xiaowan usually helps Xu Jin comb his hair, and Yue'er occasionally helps. The most troublesome thing about Xu Jin is the long hair that ancient people had, which is very troublesome to take care of. He is asked to comb and tie his hair every day.
Got to go crazy.
After all, Yue'er is a maid who has received professional training in the palace. She is very familiar with combing her hair and makes people feel very comfortable. While Xu Jin was enjoying the service of the maid, he asked: "Yue'er, I am sleeping this time."
Is there something wrong with time?"
"Oh, the magistrate of Qianshan County came to visit you, but Mr. Fei Ge knew that he was sleeping, so he didn't let you wake up." Yue'er said with a smile: "The magistrate of Qianshan came to visit, but he couldn't sleep, hehe.
, Master Tongpan’s airs are not ordinary. The master once said a word called... playing big, yes, just playing big! "
Xu Jin couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that he was usually too indulgent. Even Yue'er dared to tease him.
"Oh, by the way, Yu Qianhu also came to see the master not long ago. The master has not yet woken up, so the maid sent him away!"
While Yue'er was talking, she quickly tied up Xu Jin's hair and put on a square scarf. A handsome young man with red lips and white teeth appeared in the bronze mirror.
Xu Jin looked at himself in the mirror, full of energy, and said with a smile: "The craftsmanship is good, and the handsomeness is stunning."
Yue'er was stunned for a moment before she understood the meaning of the master's words. She immediately covered her mouth and giggled. She didn't expect that the master would suddenly say such a witticism, but it was quite vivid.
Looking at the handsome young man with sword-shaped eyebrows in the mirror, the girl Yue'er suddenly felt an urge to lie down on Xu Jin's back, hugged his neck, and rubbed her smooth face against the master's face.
Then he quickly ran out of the room with a red face.
Xu Jin's smile suddenly froze, and he touched the face that had been "molested" in a daze. This little boy was so brave that he dared to take advantage of the master.
"Yue'er, is your husband awake?"
"Old... Master, I just woke up!"
"Oh, then go to the kitchen and get the hot food. My husband hasn't eaten dinner yet, so he must be hungry."
At this time, Xie Xiaowan's voice came from outside. She must have come back from outside.
As soon as Xu Jing stood up and prepared to go out, the door curtain was lifted, and Xie Xiaowan walked in briskly, with a sweet smile on her face: "My husband is awake."
"Where is my wife, smiling so happily?" Xu Jin lovingly hugged Xie Xiaowan into his arms and kissed her on the forehead.
Xie Xiaowan's two black grape eyes suddenly turned into two crescent moons, and she returned the sweet kiss to her husband. In the private boudoir, the little girl was quite relaxed, and said shyly: "I just escorted my mother to my sister-in-law.
Talking."
"I have to find time to organize a grand wedding for my eldest brother and sister-in-law in the future, but I can't let my sister-in-law be wronged." Xu Jin said sincerely.
Xie Xiaowan nodded and said: "It's really difficult for my sister-in-law this time. Something like this happened on the wedding day, and she risked her life to run away with us. Our family can't treat her badly. Mom~ I just said it, eldest brother can
He is lucky to have such a wife."
Xu Jin hugged Xie Xiaowan into his arms and said with a smile: "It is a great blessing for my husband to marry Xiaowan."
Xie Xiaowan rolled her eyes at her husband in shame, feeling very sweet in her heart.
Dinner was quickly put on the table, including sweet and sour pork tenderloin, stir-fried winter bamboo shoots with teal, braised lamb, and a pot of bone and yam soup, which was very sumptuous.
Yue'er served Xu Jin a bowl of rice and stepped aside with a blushing face. Xu Jin couldn't help but secretly laugh. He was so aggressive and took advantage of me just now, but now he feels guilty.
Xie Xiaowan had already had dinner, and she sat beside her tenderly to serve Xu Jin. When she saw that her husband was eating well, and had three big bowls of rice in a row, the little girl's eyes turned into crescent moons with joy.
After eating, Xu Jin had to leave the house and go to the military camp. He had asked Yu Linsheng to do some things before, so he called Erniu Zhangdeng.
Er Niu also suffered some injuries during the battle to defend the house, but it was just a slight scratch on his arm. It was not a serious problem and he could continue to do his job as a follower.
"Master Tongfan is going out?"
As soon as Xu Jin and Er Niu walked out of the courtyard, they met two soldiers guarding the courtyard gate. Xu Jin nodded and said, "Go to the military camp outside for a walk!"
The two soldiers hurriedly went to call the other brothers. Xu Jin waved his hand and said: "Everyone is tired these days. Let them take a rest. Just you two can follow. There is no danger anyway."
The two soldiers' eyes showed warmth when they heard this. It was a blessing to meet such a caring boss, so they followed Xu Jin silently.
The group of people walked through the corridor and courtyard and left the Fei Mansion, arriving at the Shangrao Qianhusuo military camp stationed on the east side of the manor.
"Lord Tong San!"
"Lord Tong San!"
When the sergeants on duty saw Xu Jin, they all saluted respectfully and said hello. Xu Jin smiled and nodded in response. As soon as he arrived near the camp, Yu Linsheng, who received the news, came out with his deputy Qiu Man.
"I see you, Lord Tongpan!" Yu Linsheng and Qiu Man bowed respectfully and invited Xu Jin into the tent.
Xu Jin got straight to the point: "Yu Qianhu, how are things going?"
Yu Linsheng smiled and said: "It's basically clear from the interrogation, his grandma, these rebels are basically scum. In the past, most of them were water thieves who did all kinds of evil in Poyang Lake, some were prisoners released from the prison, and there were some local gangsters and
Refugees. Hey, Prince Ning wants to seize the throne with these crooked melons and cracked jujubes, and he is not afraid of embarrassing himself with a smile!"
Xu Jin knew what he was saying and asked again: "Have you figured out the identities of the two leaders?"
Yu Linsheng said bitterly: "These two guys are not good birds. They used to be wanted thieves with a bounty from the government, but later they took refuge in Prince Ning's Mansion and became a force. They also had a share in the sneak attack on Nankang Mansion to rescue Wu Sanba.
He participated and killed many sergeants!"
At the end of September last year, Nankang City was attacked by a sneak attack, and all the more than 100 Ming troops who stayed in the water village were killed. As a member of the Ming army, Yu Linsheng was naturally extremely angry about this, and he wanted to kill the two of them with a knife immediately.
A cold light flashed in Xu Jin's eyes, and he said calmly: "What is the attitude of the two people?"
Yu Linsheng spread his hands and said bitterly: "Damn it, these two bastards are very tough. They refused to confess. They even refused to reveal a word about King Ning's troop deployment and combat arrangements. There are no torture tools here.
Otherwise I will definitely be able to pry their mouths open."
