Chapter 142 Gifts for the Border Pass
Xuanyuan Qianjue came out of the palace and finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least his father was willing to give himself a chance to thoroughly investigate the matter, which showed that his father was still willing to believe in himself. When I returned to the house, although I was very tired, I still couldn't rest. Although my father gave himself time to investigate this matter clearly, Xuanyuan Qianjue has no clue now. The fire in the past few days seems to be the focus of this matter, but Xuanyuan doesn't understand. Even if it is really going to start a war or a rebellion, how will it help them to create some fires? Not at all, but the fire was caused by the people from the four major families and the Xuanyuan family, which was really strange.
Xuanyuan is extremely anxious like an ant on a hot pot, while Nangong Miyin is very comfortable to live a leisurely life. Beside Feng Qixue, Nangong Miyin has received meticulous care. Now, every time Feng Qixue sees Nangong Miyin, she can't help but want to tell Nangong Miyin what she thinks. But I was afraid of being rejected, so I didn't dare to speak for a long time.
"Miyin, I'm going to the market outside the barracks later to buy something and reward the soldiers. Will you go or not?" Early in the morning, Feng Qixue looked at Nangong Miyin and said with great interest, and her heart was full of expectations. Feng Qixue felt sweating in the palms of her hands. I made a plan last night. Today, I went to the market on behalf of Nangong Miyin, and then found an opportunity to express my feelings when I came back in the afternoon. Feng Qixue did not dare to conclude the idea of Nangong Miyin, but Feng Qixue always felt that Nangong Miyin did not have no feelings for herself.
"Okay, okay, I've been staying here recently. Although there are a lot of things, I've always wanted to go out for a walk. Everything in the barracks is good, but I'm not free enough to go in and out casually. It's really a pity." Nangong Miin looked at Feng Qixue chatter and then turned her eyes to look at Feng Qixue, as if she was thinking about some profound problem, but this look and action looked at Feng Qixue's eyes made him feel like he was planning something.
"Why? I'm not asking you to stay here all the time. You'll leave in a few days. Don't worry about what's going on here." Feng Qixue looked at Nangong Miyin and said disapprovingly. Nangong Miyin was like this. She always likes to care about something that has nothing to do with her.
"Oh, that's not what I said. Do you think this rule in the barracks can be changed?" Nangong Miyin looked at Feng Qixue with a hippie bear face and said. For example, you can go out at the specified time, but you must come back at the specified time, otherwise their lives will be boring. Nangong Miyin looked at Feng Qixue with a smile, looking like a child who hasn't grown up yet.
"Of course not. This is a military camp." Feng Qixue looked at Nangong Miyin and shook her head helplessly and said.
"Why? Why not? Is it better to suffove these soldiers to death? Nangong Miyin pointed behind her and looked at Feng Qixue and said. It's like a stubborn and naughty child.
"Of course not, Miyin, the state has the law, and the army has military rules. It's not right for you to change it rashly. You know that maybe the enemy is coming at any time. If our soldiers are not there, but do something else as you said, then, what should we do when the enemy comes and get it?" Feng Qixue looked at Nangong Miyin and said word by word.
"Oh, that's right. It's okay. I'll just tell you to tease you. You seem to have been worried recently." Nangong Miyin looked at Feng Qixue and said, and then turned around and walked forward. Feng Qixue hurriedly caught up with Nangong Miyin.
"Go to the market." Feng Qixue looked at Nangong Miyin and said.
"Well, okay, I haven't gone out for a long time. Like now, I'm going to suffocate." Nangong Miyin looked at Feng Qixue and said exaggeratedly. Feng Qixue smiled and did not speak. The two came to the market side by side in one direction. Today's market seemed to be a little more lively than when they first came here some time ago, but Nangong Miin always felt something different. It seemed to be somewhere. Something is wrong. Nangong Miyin observed quietly, but she didn't see what was wrong.
Feng Qixue is in good interest. Looking at this and that all the way makes Nangong Miyin feel uncomfortable. In the past, Nangong Miyin looked at this and that curiously, but now it seems to be upside down.
Although she felt a little uncomfortable, Nangong Miyin and Feng Qixue walked all the way. After all, she hasn't come out for a long time. In the army, everyone has the same clothes, the same posture, and even the same tone. Yes, these people at the border gate have not gone home for a long time. All People live the same life every day. They are bored and depressed, but no one complains, and no one shouts out. Nangong Miyin actually admires it very much. Today, it's an opportunity to help Feng Qixue reward them.
Thinking of this, Nangong Miyin couldn't help speeding up his pace of walking. Looking at the dazzling array of things, but didn't know what the soldiers really needed, Nangong Ye couldn't help frowning and walking left and right on the road and didn't know what to choose.
When he saw the small shop in the distance, Nangong Miyin couldn't help but feel a light in his eyes. It was a silk shop. Nangong Miin walked in and saw a variety of beautiful silk.
"Young man, what do you want?" The shopkeeper seemed to be very old. When he saw people coming in from outside, he quickly walked over and asked. Nangong Miyin noticed that the old man's pace seemed to be a little trembling. He couldn't help helping the world. The old man looked at Nangong Miyin gratefully and smiled.
"Thank you, thank you. You are such a good person." The old man looked at Nangong Miyin and said with a smile.
"It's okay, grandpa. I want to buy some silk and give it to others. I don't know which one is more suitable." Nangong Miyin nodded politely and looked at the old man and said. Then look up at the silk in the room. The whole room is covered with silk, with various colors and fancy styles. Nangong Miyin couldn't help dazzled.
"Oh, oh, oh, okay, okay, what do you want? There are many styles here, and the texture of the material is also different. You can see which one you like, or which one is more suitable for your friends." The old man pulled Nangong Miin into it, and then pointed to the silk behind the counter and said.
"I don't know. The place where he stays is in a bad situation. I want to give him a square scarf to wipe their sweat when they work hard." Nangong Miyin looked at the old man and thought about it for a long time before she thought of this sentence. It was the first time in her life that she specially chose gifts for others. She didn't know if those soldiers would like the gifts they chose.
"Oh, the young man's heart is so delicate. I thought only girls would want to get such a thoughtful gift. He will definitely like it very much." The old man looked at Nangong Miyin with a meaningful smile and said. He has been at the border for many years, and he has met all kinds of strange people. It is not the first time he has met people like Nangong Miin. However, few people at the border pass can be so beautiful. The wind and sand at the border gate are very big. In less than three days, the face will be wrinkled by the wind and sand, the skin will become rough, and the cheeks will look a little purple. However, the skin of the man in front of him is watery and red in white.
"But I don't know that kind of sweat-absorbing, and it's more durable. Can you recommend it to me?" Nangong Miyin looked at the old man and asked politely.
"Hehe, okay, come on, come on, take a look at these two, which are relatively strong, durable and sweat-absorbing. Take a look." The old man took Nangong Miyin's hand and walked to a small corner on the edge of the counter. Nangong Miyin noticed that the two fabrics in the old man's hand did not look like very high-end fabrics. He reached out and touched them. As expected, as the old man said, the fabric felt very good and comfortable.
"Hmm. Although it looks very inconspicuous, in such a harsh environment as the border, only these two fabrics can last the longest. The old man looked at Nangong Miyin and said kindly. I think the person you want to send must be here all year round, so although these two fabrics are not good-looking, they must be very suitable.
"Well, okay, then I'll take this. Can you help the tailor shop make all these fabrics into handkerchiefs so that I can give them away." Nangong Miyin chose the cloth and said happily to the old man.
"What? Who are you going to give it to, young man? Can you tell me? The old man looked at Nangong Miyin and asked in surprise.
"Nothing. You just need to find a tailor shop for me. I'll give you how much money you need." Nangong Miin looked at the old man and said with some covert that he didn't want everyone to know that he had purchased from the barracks. After all, talking about it will also pose a threat to the safety of himself and Feng Qixue.
"Young man, if I guess correctly, you should have come out of the barracks." The old man looked at Nangong Miin with a thoughtful smile and said. If not, how could it cost so much at a time? Merchants come here only to sell goods. They will not buy things from here and sell them. After all, the change of things at the border is bad, and the things are generally not much better. The most important thing is that the things that can be used at the border gate are generally not used in other places.
"Ah? How would you know?" Nangong Miin looked at the old man with some puzzlement and said that few people knew whether he had come out of Fengchu to the current border or from the barracks to the surrounding markets. Especially this time, I came out from the barracks to the market, and no one else knew except myself and Feng Qixue. Even the two bodyguards who grew up with Feng Qixue didn't come out together.
"Ha ha, young man, I'm a retired soldier. When I came home, I found that there was a flood in my family and my family died, so I returned to be a soldier and was finally injured. So I simply started this silk business at the border. One is because I like to see this beautiful silk, and second, because I like it. Here, I am 56 years old this year, but I have lived here for more than 30 years. I was injured during the war, and now I am not in good health. I just hope to return to my hometown after death. The general said that there are my fellow villagers among the soldiers who are going to retire now. At that time, he can help people bring my ashes back. Little brother, I'm old. Don't blame me for being talkative, especially when I see you people coming out of the barracks. I always feel sad and always feel that I'm old. After saying that, the old man sighed, and then went to the counter tremblingly to get the cloth for Nangong Miin.
"Grandpa, I'll do it. Wait a minute." Nangong Miyin quickly came forward to hold the old man and said, and then he got up and took off the cloth. It didn't look much, but it was surprisingly much. It almost overwhelmed Nangong Miyin. Nangong Miin put the cloth on a table in front of him and then went to get another one.
When the two pieces of cloth were put on the table in front of him, the old man looked at Nangong Miyin and couldn't help nodding and smiling. He didn't expect that such a thin and weak person would have so much strength. It's really a talent. He knows better than anyone how heavy his two pieces of cloth are. It takes a lot of effort for ordinary people to take them off. Unexpectedly, the young man in front of him took them off so easily.
