It was cold in the north. As soon as October began, it started to snow heavily. Suddenly, the roofs of every household in Zhangcheng were covered with thick snow. The people closed the doors one after another and stayed on the warm kang to keep warm. Those with wives hugged their wives, and those without wives hugged their pillows and those with pillows were happy.

In the military camp outside the suburbs, Xiao Zhen, a thousand households, saw that his soldiers were almost frozen into snowmen, had to stop the exercise.

After a command, the soldiers suddenly scattered like birds and beasts, running into the house in unison. The speed was faster than charging in battle.

Xiao Zhen looked up and saw white snowflakes falling, and the straight and straight poplar forest in the distance seemed to be buried in the snow.

"Sir, let's go back too." Guard Feng Shi rubbed his hands and stamped his feet in a cold state.

Feng Shi has a five-short and thick figure, a big head and wide shoulders, and a piece of neck seems to be missing in the middle. Standing next to the tall and straight Xiao Zhen, he looks as short as a dungeon and has been ridiculed by soldiers in the same camp.

Last year, Xiao Zhen first met Feng Shi in the team and also looked down upon Feng Shi. However, Feng Shi was short, but he was born with divine power. His ancestors were all blacksmiths for generations and were recruited by the court. Feng Shi joined the army with a pair of iron hammers made by himself. Other soldiers were afraid of the Huns' cavalry. Feng Shi was very brave and could kill a good Huns' horse with one hammer.

Xiao Zhen admired Feng Shi's bravery very much, and since then he fought side by side with him and made friends. Later, Xiao Zhen was promoted to Qianhu, Zhangcheng for military merits and promoted Feng Shi to his guard. The two lived with Qianhu Mansion together, and followed him like a shadow.

"Let's go." Xiao Zhen estimated that the snow would take at least two or three days, and he would have nothing to do if he stayed in the military camp.

Feng Shi immediately took Malay.

Feng Shi is from Yangzhou, Jiangnan. This is his second year since he came to the north. When he saw the snow again, he couldn't help but sigh: "The snow is so heavy. It's not like our hometown. It snows like rain. When Xue Jinniang scolds people, she thinks it delays her business. I advise her, let's rest if the weather is not good. I can't afford to support you. She said she likes to make money..."

Feng Shi grinned while recalling the memories, and spoke up with Jinniang.

Xiao Zhen had never seen Feng Shi's wife in his hometown, but he had known Feng Shi for so long. According to Feng Shi's narration, he also had the general appearance of Jin Niang in his mind. A young woman from Jiangnan who runs a bun shop, was fierce and spoiled, and obeyed her husband. Xiao Zhen once laughed at Feng Shi's spoiling wife too much and losing the majesty of the head of the family, but Feng Shi said that being able to marry Jin Niang was his blessing, and he was willing to be ordered by his wife.

Xiao Zhen guessed that Jin Niang should be good-looking, but Feng Shi praised Jin Niang as if she was a fairy, but Xiao Zhen didn't believe it. Feng Shi had no appearance and money and had a strong body of brute force. How could a woman with outstanding appearance and outstanding ability to support her family marry him?

One talked endlessly about his wife and children, and the other listened absent-mindedly. Before he knew it, the two returned to Qianhu Mansion.

Xiao Zhen was good at wine, so he ordered the servant to boil a pot of local local wine, then stir-fry a plate of peanuts, and drink it with Feng Shi next to the stove.

A pot of wine was about to finish, and a noise suddenly came from the door, mixed with the voice of a woman.

Xiao Zhen put down the wine bowl. Feng Shi left his seat and was about to go and take a look when someone screamed at the door: "Feng Shi, get out of here!"

The woman's voice was sharp and she was faintly crying.

Xiao Zhen frowned.

Feng Shi's face was flushed with excitement, looked outside the door, and stuttered in disbelief: "Sir, that seems to be my wife!"

Xiao Zhen was slightly shocked. It was thousands of miles away from Yangzhou to Zhangcheng. If the woman outside the door was really Jinniang, would something have happened in Yangzhou?

Feng Shicai didn't care about that much and ran out.

Xiao Zhen sat down and didn't move.

Feng Shi rushed to the gate of Qianhu Mansion like a cow, and saw a flatbed cart pulled up by mules at the door. A woman was sitting cross-legged in a thick quilt, holding a boy wrapped in a quilt in her arms. The mother and the mother covered her tightly from head to toe, only showing a small white and clean face with a red nose.

"My grandma Jin, is it really you?" Feng Shi rushed to the car and looked at his wife and son in a dream. His eyes were almost out of reach.

After searching for her husband for thousands of miles, she finally saw her husband after running for half a year. Su Jin curled her lips and her eyes were foggy. Damn Northland, why is it so cold!

"You still know that we are both mother and mother are almost frozen to death!" He vented his grievances at this moment, and Su Jin cried and scolded.

The little woman was about ten years old and had a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes. Her delicate cheeks were as cold as paper, making her look like the two bent eyebrows painted. She was black and slender, and her flat mouth was full and delicate, like fresh cherries that had just been washed. At this moment, she was sitting in the heavy snow wrapped in a dark red quilt, like a crabapple that was blooming in the snow.

Looking at the boy in her arms, she looks like four or five years old, with clear eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, and staying quietly in her mother's arms, extremely sensible.

Such a mother, let alone Feng Shi, the guards guards at the gate felt distressed!

"Let's go, hurry up and get into the house, the kang is hot." The wife was most afraid of the cold. Feng Shi picked up her son with one hand and helped Su Jin with the other.

"If you can't walk, your feet are covered with frostbite, and it's like a needle." Su Jin wiped his face with her sleeve, otherwise she would have rushed in just now.

After hearing this, Feng Shi put his iron arm in his arms and carried the quilt to his shoulders with his wife. Su Jin was honest and obviously had been used to it. Feng Shi ordered the doorman to take a bunch of luggage in the car. He turned around and ran into the yard, holding his son with his left hand and carrying his wife with his right hand, as if he was carrying two bags of rice.

The main hall faced the gate, Xiao Zhen stood under the eaves in black, watching the scene silently.

Feng Shi said happily: "Sir, I'll go back to my room first!"

Xiao Zhen nodded.

Su Jin lay on her husband's shoulder, wrapped in a quilt and blocked her face. When she heard her husband call him a master, she arched her head with difficulty, and only had time to catch a burly figure nine feet tall. Thinking of the letter from home I received at the beginning of the year, Su Jin thought, no wonder her husband praised Mr. Xiao for his bravery. Just this height seemed to be capable.

While thinking, Feng Shi carried his wife and son into the east wing room in the backyard.

The northern land is poor. Although Qianhu is a fifth-rank military officer, the mansion has only three in the mansion. Forward is the arsenal, Xiao Zhen handles military service and treats guests. The last entry is left for Xiao Zhen’s future female relatives. Xiao Zhen now lives in the upper room of the second entrance, and Feng Shi lives in the east wing. In fact, the wing room should belong to Xiao Zhen’s descendants, but only Xiao Zhen is a bachelor, and he doesn’t care much about the rules, so he arranged it casually.

The kang was warm, and Feng Shi laid the bed in a few seconds. Su Jin hugged his son and crawled in. The mother and mother snuggled together and shivered. Feng Shi felt distressed and was wise in a hurry. He went to Xiao Zhen to ask for half a bowl of warm wine, held it in his arms and brought it to the wing room. Su Jin was trembling and drank most of the time in one go, leaving two sips for his son.

After drinking, the mother and the mother gradually became warmer and finally stopped shaking.

Feng Shi sat cross-legged next to him, staring at his wife intently. After a long time of separation, his wife's hair was messy, but her face was still so beautiful, with a cherry mouth. The man joined the army and hadn't seen his wife for more than a year. Now his delicate daughter-in-law is right in front of him. After the joy of family reunion, Feng Shi couldn't help but want to do something else.

To be honest, Su Jin was a little greedy when she was staring at her husband like this.

But, my son is still awake.

She sighed and said to Feng Shi resentfully: "At the beginning of spring this year, there was a drought in the whole of Yangzhou. Our family has some money. We can deal with it at the beginning. Later, refugees ran away, burned, killed, looted, and picked up orphans and widows to attack. I was really scared, so I packed up the fine and soft things and took Archer to join you. I didn't expect that the north was so cold, and I used the bracelet to make money to add cotton coats and quilts."

Feng Shi's eyes were red. The pair of bracelets were the betrothal gifts he saved for a long time to pay for his wife. His wife was so precious that she kept leaving her day and night.

Lying beside the quilt, Feng Shi hugged his wife and children tightly: "Don't worry, from now on, I will never let you two live a hard life again."

Su Jin rubbed his face dependently, wandering all the way, trying to guard against thieves and robberies. Until this moment, her heart was truly at ease.

"Since the Qianhu is at home, let's go and meet." After enough rest, Su Jin remembered the etiquette.

"Don't be anxious, sir, the most sympathetic sensible to your subordinates. You are so cold, I'll tell him that it's okay two days late." After checking the shocking frostbite on both mother and mother's feet, Feng Shike couldn't bear to let them suffer any more.

Su Jin asked him to explain.

Feng Shi reluctantly put on his shoes and went to the front yard in the snow.

Xiao Zhen was born in the north and had long heard that the four seasons of Jiangnan were like spring. Therefore, he could understand the situation of Su Jin and his son, and asked Feng Shi to take care of his family without paying attention to vain etiquette.

Feng Shi thanked repeatedly.

After lunch, Feng Shi brought the food to the kang. Su Jin saw that there were only yellow-faced steamed buns and fried cabbage with clear soup and water on the table. No matter how hungry, he lost his appetite. Archer was not as coquettish as his mother. He picked up the chopsticks and picked up the bowl, and ate it bit by bit. The boy behaved delicately. If he changed into silk clothes, someone would believe it.

The son is not picky about food, and Feng Shi advised his wife: "It's cold here, there are only cabbage and radish in winter, so you can order it."

Su Jin glanced at the door of the room and leaned into his ear and asked, "Why are there no meat in the food in the government?"

Feng Shi explained: "Adults are honest and never accept bribes, and their salaries are mostly used to buy cold clothes for the soldiers."

Su Jin understood that Lord Xiao, like the good officials in the play, had no money.

"Just make do with something." Feng Shi picked up food for her in a pleasing manner, "Look at you've lost weight."

Su Jin touched his face and barely ate a steamed bun.

After running around for several months, eating and drinking, the five-year-old Archer couldn't hold on and fell asleep. When Feng Shi saw him, he leaned over and hugged his wife.

"Let's talk about it tonight."

Su Jin also thought, but this is not her own family. When she came, Feng Shi wouldn't go out for a long time. What would Lord Xiao think?

"Okay, the yard is full of snow. Please help sweep the snow." Seeing that Feng Shi was reluctant to leave, Su Jin pushed him hard.

Feng Shi was afraid of his wife, so he had to go and sweep the snow obediently.

Halfway through the sweeping, Xiao Zhen came back from the front yard. Seeing this, he said unexpectedly: "No hurry, it's not too late to stop the snow and sweep again."

Feng Shi laughed: "I'll scan it again when the snow stops."

Since he insisted, Xiao Zhen ignored the kindness and honest man.

At night, Feng Shi first coaxed his son to sleep. After Archer fell asleep, he skillfully stuffed two balls of cotton into his son's ears, and then went to find Su Jin.

When he went to the room, Xiao Zhen went to bed early, but he fell asleep and suddenly heard a strange scream.

Xiao Zhen was born with a clever ear and a clear eye. It was precisely because of his extraordinary ears that he avoided the swords and guns behind him many times on the battlefield.

He opened his eyes, and in the dark, there seemed to be a cold light in his eyes.

Then, he heard a woman's voice, floating into the crack of the window.
