The night was eerily quiet, and Huo Xi's trembling voice was especially clear.
"It's me, don't be afraid." Came a soothing voice.
"Remarkable?"
"it's me."
Before Mu Yan went to bed, Huo Xi had already thrown himself into his arms, "It's impressive."
"Well, don't be afraid." Mu Yan hugged her tightly, stroking her black hair and her back, smelling the fragrance of her hair and body, rubbing hands with her, feeling the long-lost soft fragrance.
He hadn't seen her for eight months and nine days.
"It's impressive, um..." Huo Xi was about to speak, but his world was spinning for a while, and Mu Yan threw him on the bed...
Xiaobie is better than newlyweds, I only wish we could meet again sooner, and be with you every day.
"Does it hurt you?" Mu Yan stared at her heart and soul from top to bottom by the weak candlelight in the room, wishing she could devour her, so that she would be heartbroken every day.
Huo Xi closed her eyes slightly, shaking her head feebly.
"Tired?"
"Um."
Mu Yan raised the corners of her mouth slightly when she heard this, and whispered something in her ear: "You are so delicious." I couldn't help but eat it again and again.
Turned over and lay down, then stretched out his arms to embrace Huo Xi into his arms.
Huo Xi found a good position in his arms, closed his eyes slightly, and reached out to **** for his exposed chest...Mu Yan pressed her down, "Don't move." She patted her.
"See if you are injured." Touched his old arrow wound.
"No. No injuries this time."
"Don't hide it from me."
"How dare I hide it from you. The second-class people from Yikan want to tell you about my whereabouts. I have nothing to hide from you. I don't know if they are mine or yours."
Huo Xi snorted lightly, "Your and mine, do you have to distinguish them so clearly?"
Mu Yan sneered twice, "No matter what, it's all yours."
The two of them didn't talk anymore, they held each other tenderly for a while.
"Why are you back? The war has stopped?"
"No. I wanted to come back to see you just after you entered Kunming City. I missed you so much. I just couldn't leave. Later I received your letter..."
"He rushed back right away? You didn't receive the letter I sent you two days ago?"
"Meeted on the way." Caressing Huo Xi's smooth back, she couldn't put it down, "Don't be afraid, you are not without support in Yunnan, you still have me."
"Yes." Huo Xi burrowed into his arms.
Mu Yan hugged her tightly, and kissed her lightly on the forehead: "You can do whatever you want, and I will do everything." Even if you disturb the sky, I will be by your side.
Missing has thousands of words and wants to confide in her, but seeing that she is so tired that she can't even open her eyes, she said softly, "Sleep, we will talk about it tomorrow."
"good."
Husband and wife hug each other tightly and fall asleep.
The next day Huo Xi woke up, still in a daze, and glanced at the bed, she was the only one.
Did she dream yesterday? How did you dream that Ke Guan came back? Such a real dream.
"Remarkable!"
"Hmm. Didn't get enough sleep? Do you want to sleep a little longer?"
"Hug..." Huo Xi stretched out his hand towards him.
The corners of Mu Yan's mouth raised a beautiful arc, and he walked over with big strides, sitting on the edge of the bed and hugging her tightly, "Would you like to sleep again?"
Huo Xi shook her head in his arms, and rubbed against his chest, which made Mu Yan's heart almost melt, and she lowered her head to look greedily at her.
"I miss you, and I also miss my son. My ears are not hot, I'm afraid Xiao Yuer has forgotten me..."
"Don't cry, my mother and father-in-law are here, and I will take good care of him. When we have something to do here, we can go back and see him."
Seeing that Huo Xi was still sobbing softly, she comforted him gently, "We often write letters to him, and let his mother read to him, and he will never forget us. Let him read to his mother what he misses us, and she will write to him on behalf of him. We, we and Yuer often correspond."
"Not enough, I miss him..."
"I know, I miss him as my husband."
The two had breakfast in the room. It is said that lunch is more suitable, and this time I slept until the sun was up.
Mu Yan entered the mansion quietly in the middle of the night. This time, every house in the mansion also knew about it, and they sent people to greet and inquire about the news ahead.
Mu Yan didn't even see him, so he only asked Li Yikaner to come forward, and he just hid in the room and talked to Huo Xi.
"this is for you."
"What is it?" Huo Xi took it and unfolded it, "Zhuangzi's land deed?"
Mu Yan nodded, "It's next to Dianchi Lake. Zhuangzi is quite big, with mountains, lakes, tea gardens, gardens, and mulberry fields. You must like it."
"When did you buy it?" Such a good manor, is it his turn to go to Yunnan to buy it?
"I didn't put it down, he gave it."
"Him? You mean Duke Qian?" Huo Xi was a little surprised, and didn't say his name, only his other, and only Mu Yan's biological father.
Mu Yan nodded, "I know what happened in Kunming City, and the mansion didn't give you a case. In the barracks, there was a violent outburst in front of him and the third uncle. He didn't dare to say a word, it's justified. He gave me this, saying it was a meeting gift for you."
"A meeting gift for me? For such a big manor, it's two hectares of land." Next to Dianchi Lake again, "I just lost a few shares, and I got such a big gift? Then I made a lot of money. Is this taking a small loss and making a big fortune?"
Turn over and over the land deed of the manor, very happy.
"It stands to reason that you are his eldest daughter-in-law. He gave birth to his eldest grandson, but it's just a manor title deed."
"Then I'll keep it for Xiao Yuer?" Huo Xi asked him happily.
Mu Yan pinched her face and said with a smile, "It's up to you."
Huo Xi then ordered someone to put it away carefully: "I'll go and have a look after two days." Then he asked him: "Did the Duke of the State say when will the soldiers stationed in Kunming City be delivered?"
Mu Yan's face was serious: "You don't care about this matter, let him worry about it. It's not a day or two since the imperial court owed Yunnan military expenses. Since the Mu family guarded Yunnan, they have been in arrears all year round, and there are occasional shortages. Starting from my grandfather, In order to avoid the turmoil of the army, it is filled from the taxes and taxes of various places. If it is not enough, it will be paid in advance with the property silver of various places in the Mu Mansion. , but all is well. It’s just that in the past few years, the imperial court’s deficit has been getting bigger and bigger, and the amount has been so large that it can’t afford it everywhere, and the government doesn’t dare to take any action. Once this hole is opened..."
"Afraid of fear from above?"
Mu Yan nodded.
"Although our Mu Mansion is a powerful town, the emperor has been wary of Mu Manor for a long time. There are also eyeliners everywhere. He is careful in his actions, and there is nothing wrong with him." Even if there is no way to appease.
"But I have asked people to investigate these days. The life of the military dependents in the guard is really difficult, and the taxes on the land are heavy, and they often cannot be paid in full. I heard that there are still many deserters, right?"
Mu Yan frowned, not hiding from her, and nodded: "Yes. There are deserters everywhere on the border, and we are not alone here."
Hereditary military households, the soldiers on the border have a difficult environment, there are often wars, and they are all paid for by their lives.
This trip to Yunnan made Mu Yan discover many things that she hadn't noticed before.
