Tang Xuan

In Laba, the first year of Zhicheng, except for the officers and soldiers on duty in Khotan, the refurbished streets were almost empty.If the newly built city is overlooked from the air, it will be in the shape of a well.The city wall is wide and thick, the gate is made of pig iron inside, and the outside is inlaid with giant wood, and the end is like an iron barrel.Built like this, it can be seen that Lang Huai has never let go of the south.

Lang was wearing armor and his cloak was tightly drawn, and he was patrolling the camp with his head slightly lowered.She only had Tao Jun with her, and the two chatted from time to time, Lang Huai's face was hidden in the scarf, but his eyes were beaming.

Isn't it?Today is Mingda's [-]th birthday, she purposely toured the camp half an hour earlier in order to go back early to accompany her.

The two of them were walking when suddenly a voice came from behind: "Master!"

Lang Huai heard it familiarly, and the person who called her like this here must be someone from Mu Gongfu.

After the visitor approached, he pulled down his veil and said, "What I want is done!" It turned out to be Lang Qu.He took out a long and narrow ebony box from his rucksack and presented it, praising: "This master is very skilled, he did it according to your instructions, and there is no clue at all!"

Lang Huai lifted the lid and glanced at it, and immediately said with satisfaction: "Thank you for your hard work! You did a great job! Laba today, go back to your house and rest."

Lang Qu was also happy when he saw that the errands were done to his master's satisfaction.He saluted respectfully, and went back to the general's mansion to eat and rest early.

"Master, you have worked hard and used your scouts. If the news spreads, you may lose the reputation of being a beauty by running thousands of miles." Tao Jun made fun of her. It's time to practice their riding skills."

The two of them turned up the city wall, and when the camp tour was over, Lang Huai saw snowflakes falling, and asked the whole army to have extra meals today before leaving with Tao Jun.Not long after, the two returned to the General's Mansion, only to find that Lu Laosan, Wang Xiong, and An Mu were there.

"What wind brought you all here?" Lang Huai asked in surprise, Lu Laosan's voice was the loudest, and he yelled, "Today's Laba, of course I'm here to eat Laba porridge!"

Wang Xiong looked embarrassed, and said: "I ran into General Lu on the road." The implication was that he was forcibly dragged here by Lao San Lu.

An Mu said: "It's a coincidence to chat with Mingda when I'm bored."

Lang Huai laughed, and went into the inner room to change clothes. Seeing Mingda feeding the Firefox inside, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "They are all here, why don't you go out to meet the guests?"

Mingda didn't turn his head back, and replied: "I have seen it, I will go out later. You go and change clothes, this body is very uncomfortable."

Lang Huai saw that she was combing a single bun and only using a silver hairpin to tie her hair, which was even more elegant and refined.While she was taking off her armor, she was thinking about it in her heart, and she never took her eyes off her back.

The room is extremely quiet, except for the sound of Firefox chewing food.

Mingda fed the Firefox and rubbed the little guy's belly.In winter, it is always lazy.Huohu and Mingda swayed for a while, then ran to Lang Huai's feet, crawled along her calf to Lang Huai's shoulder, and pressed their noses against her neck to kiss her.Lang Huai tapped the tip of the Firefox's nose, and it felt good, and jumped down spontaneously, ran into the nest, and began to groom its own hair.

"This guy." Lang Huai smiled happily and squatted down, stretching out his right hand to caress the soft and smooth fur of the Firefox.The beast grunted and bared its belly, Lang Huai listened to the remonstrance and was very considerate before standing up on his knees.

Seeing that her hair was messed up, Mingda waved her hand to signal her to come and sit down, took the comb and untied the jade crown, combed it neatly again, and only tied it with a black cloth belt.She looked at him from behind for a moment, then suddenly fell on Lang Huai's back, and said softly, "I really don't want to go out."

Lang Huai tilted his head and kissed Mingda's cheek, jokingly said: "Then we won't go out."

An ordinary sentence, but Ming Da shyly said: "Third Brother will definitely come in and ask, 'Why don't you ignore me?'"

Lang Huai couldn't help laughing, she turned around and hugged Mingda and said, "I think it's nice to have a lot of people, it's lively. After a while, we will all be together during the winter solstice, what do you think?"

"Hmm! I think so too. It's just that it's so far away from Chang'an, so I don't know how Seventh Brother and Mother are doing." While talking, the two stood up, straightened each other's skirts, and went out hand in hand.

For the nobles of the Tian family, except for the birth date in the palace, ordinary people have no way of knowing it, let alone Mingda does not have a genealogy.Lang Huai knew about her birthday when Li Yu told her when she was a child.

Later, the Emperor Ming pointed out that marriage must be a combination of characters, so Webster wrote it down and prepared carefully every year. Apart from the guilt, he also liked her from the bottom of his heart.

It was rare for so many people to sit in the hall today, although Ming Da knew that they were here for the festival, but it was more lively after all, to sweep away some thoughts of Emperor Ming.

After slapping open a jar of Cold Soul, Lu Laosan was about to pour wine for Lang Huai when Ming Da stopped him.She smiled and said: "Third Brother, I'll accompany you if you want to drink. She is recuperating, so she can't touch these things."

Lang Huai took a cup of hot tea with a smile, stood up and said, "Let's be more relaxed today, regardless of official position, only age. Substitute tea for wine, I respect you all!"

Compared with Chang'an, this table of dishes can only be said to be simple, but it also made several people eat happily.Halfway through the banquet, Mr. Zhu lifted the lid of the casserole on the small stove next to it, and a scent of sweet porridge filled the air, making everyone look at it eagerly.

After eating it all in one bowl, Lu Laosan still couldn't enjoy himself.Lan Jun observed his words and expressions, and quickly served a second bowl.

It was snowing heavily outside the house, and all the people inside the house unbuttoned their outer robes, sipping hot porridge and chatting about stories, really stuffed the gods.

Lu Laosan was asking Mr. Zhu how to cook the Laba porridge, Lang Huai and Wang Xiong were gesticulating the current offensive and defensive situation on the table while dipping in tea, Ming Da and An Muni were talking about Loulan's abundant rouge.

The bustling Laba banquet finally broke up, and Lu Laosan was full of pride, pulling Wang Xiong and refusing to let go, only saying that he would get drunk before he could rest.

Before leaving, An Mu said: "That's it, sister, don't worry!"

After grooming and washing, Lang Huai unbuttoned the cotton robe after getting into bed.Mingda had already snuggled up to him, and it was like a small stove, making Lang Huai's whole body warm up.

"What did you agree with An Mu?" Lang Huai's heart swayed as he smelled the fragrance of her hair.Light incense was burning in the Boshan furnace, and only two red candles were lit, which made Mingda's cheeks blush.

"Talking about spices, I was curious about how they made spices, so I just asked casually. I didn't expect that An Mu's sister was generous, saying that when I was free, she would take me to the spice workshop to learn. How to make incense." Ming Da lay on Lang Huai's body, playing with Lang Huai's scattered hair.

"When did you like this?" Lang Huai asked her comfortably, stretching his legs and leaning on the pillow.

"My uncle almost emptied the Jiang family's hundreds of years of accumulation for military expenses. The Jiang family's ancestral training is in front, and my uncle has a bad temper... In the future, even if the seventh brother is compensated, I am afraid he will not accept it. I sum up Jiang's I'm afraid the next 20 years will be difficult, if there is a craft, maybe it will be easier." Mingda was thoughtful, and Lang Huai understood as soon as he heard it, and said, "I understand what you mean. If they get the secret method, we supply the raw materials, and Jiangnan is bound to It's the best shopping mall."

Mingda blinked, and said: "That's the reason. As long as there is a unique industry, it can support the uncle's family to tide over the difficulties. Otherwise, I'm afraid we will have no way to make a difference in Anxi."

Lang Huai also said with emotion: "Jiang's whole heart is for the people and the country, and my Lang's charge seems to have infinite glory. Without them, it is only the courage of a man, and there is no chance of winning."

The two talked about the future, and Mingda was naturally happy when he saw that she was resolute in retiring.She rolled her eyes, reached out her hand to fumble around the skirt of Lang Huai's clothes, and said, "Where's my present? Give it to me quickly!"

Mu Gonglang, who was fearless and fearless, was extremely ticklish with the soft flesh around his waist, and soon lost his shape and lost his armor and armor.Lang Huai grabbed her hand that lit the fire, panting and whispering to her, "This is not Chang'an, how can we prepare for it?"

Ming Da took a look at her and said, "I don't believe it! Hurry up, or I'll get angry." After waiting for a while, Lang Huai still spoke the same way, Ming Da didn't show mercy, and tickled her vigorously.

"Hahahahaha..." Laughter continued, Lang Huai couldn't help but began to dodge, hiding from the head of the bed to the end of the bed, and Ming Da rode on his waist, unable to move.She knew that if she didn't beg for mercy, she really annoyed the girl, and she felt sorry for herself, so she stopped teasing her, took out the box from under the pillow, and handed it to Mingda.

The two sat facing each other, each holding a brocade quilt.Mingda's eyes flashed with joy, he opened the box carefully, and saw inside was a wooden hairpin, the color was purple, the carving was simple and simple, with four seal characters engraved in incised.This word is exactly the same as the one on her dagger, Mingda is already familiar with it, it is the four characters of Yong'an Yannian.There is a soybean-sized red coral embedded in the tail of the hairpin, which is as bright as a flame.Other than that, no modification.

Mingda liked it very much, picked it up and weighed it, and noticed that there was a difference in its weight.Her eyes lit up, and she said happily: "There is no mechanism here, right?" Mingda was about to buckle the coral, Lang Huai was taken aback, and quickly took her hand and said: "It's just..." She immediately blushed and said hesitantly: "I asked the craftsman to hollow it out and hide some things in."

"What?" It's fine if she doesn't say anything, since Mingda knows, how can he hold back his curiosity? "Is it a hidden weapon used by knights in the rivers and lakes? Is it a needle? Or poison?" The more she said, the more outrageous she became, making Lang Huai dumbfounded.

She pulled her sweetheart who was becoming more and more beautiful, and clumsily combed her hair and put on the hairpin. "Hiding a few strands of my hair." Lang Huai said softly, "It's always been said that our hair is knotted, but we really don't. I'm thinking that if I tie my hair like this, I will never leave it for the rest of my life." She paused, eagerly looking forward to Looking at Mingda, with uneasiness and burning eyes: "Do you like it?"

Lang Huaijiu was in the army, and he was always slow to respond to the feelings of these young children, but today he uttered such sentimental words.Mingda's eyes gradually got wet, and he buried his head in her arms, saying: "I like it! How can I not like it? Ah Huai, let's tie our hair together and stay together forever."

The snow outside the house is getting heavier, and after sleeping at night, I can always hear the sound of dead branches being crushed by the snow.At the second watch, Lang Huai went down to the ground in his clothes, shook his cloak and slipped into the small kitchen. Seeing a pancake in the cauldron on the stove, he quickly rolled up some pickles, wrapped it in paper and covered it in his lapel, and Lightly dodged the guards and slipped back.

In just a short while, the cloak was covered with snowflakes, which began to melt into pearls after entering the room.

Lang Huai walked to the bed, took out pancakes from his pocket, and said with a smile: "Si, I'm back."

She casually threw the cloak on the stool, Mingda snorted and refused to answer.Lang Huaisheng was afraid of getting cold, so he tiptoed up, not willing to throw off the quilt, tore open the paper bag, brought it to her mouth and said: "It's my fault, next time I will be more careful."

Mingda was really hungry from tormenting her, so he silently gnawed on the cake.The pancakes were steamy and no longer hard. She ate half of it and shook her head, saying vaguely, "I'm full."

Lang Huai ate the rest after two or three mouthfuls. At this time, her body was warmed up, so she lifted the brocade quilt and put it on.Mingda's body was hot, he turned around and hugged Lang's arms to keep her warm, without saying a word.

Knowing that he was in trouble tonight, Lang Huai lightly patted Mingda's back and heard her gradually breathing evenly and fell asleep, so he was relieved.
