This love lasts forever

The bright sunshine in the early morning slanted in from the open window and sprinkled on the spotless tabletop.

Shen Yuexi sat at the table, spinning the brush skillfully with one hand and holding her chin with the other hand, looking at the roof and thinking hard.

What should I write in a letter to Xiao Zhuo?

The idea of ​​writing a letter came from something she saw in the morning.

Early in the morning, Mapu sent a messenger with his handwritten letter into the customs to deliver to his sister, the virtuous concubine Mei Dai.

In ancient times, there were no convenient communication methods such as telephones and emails. Everyone wrote letters to communicate with relatives and friends far away. For ordinary people, it might take a month for the other party to receive letters. For people like the Prince of Xiliang, there was a special person Specialized delivery of mail.

When Shen Yuexi saw Ma Pu's messenger, she realized that she had not heard about Xiao Zhuo for nearly a week. Before, all her thoughts were on the prisoners of Xirong, so now she should write a letter to Xiao Zhuo.

As for the Duke's Mansion in the capital, they have already severed ties with her and will not consider her.

Laying out paper, grinding ink... After a lot of work, I finally sat down at the table and started thinking about what to write.

Xiao Zhuo should be informed of the situation on her side, starting from those around her.

Of the two chickens raised at home, one was eaten by Mrs. Li, and the other was cooked by Li Wan and given to Maple. It was too disgusting, they had not grown up yet, even though two roosters could not lay eggs. She was angry Two tears fell from the corners of my mouth.

Why let Xiao Zhuo know about such a trivial matter? Change it.

Xiaogang Village is getting bigger and bigger, with a permanent population of close to 2,000. The fields around the village are already full of crops, and it is prosperous. Since there is no war now, Li Zheng is letting the villagers mine iron ore to make farm tools and sell them to Dongji Town. , the money was flowing to Xiaogang Village.

She didn't make much money at this end. She was not at home this week, and the medicine shop owner from Dongji Town came over to deliver the silver divided from the garlic capsules, which amounted to a full one hundred taels. Mrs. Li said with a shy face that she was her elder and wanted to collect it on her behalf. The good shopkeeper was not stupid and didn't give it to her. Aunt Sun across the street saw this with her own eyes, and there was no lie.

Mrs. Li is Xiao Zhuo's aunt after all, so it's better not to say bad things about her. Xiao Zhuo will definitely be able to tell.

Besides, these trivial things are not suitable to be written in a letter. As Xiao Zhuo's wife, she can't be too petty, she has to show some heroic momentum.

Then say something domineering in your letter.

Last night, the prisoners of Xirong had returned to the north safely under the escort of General Qiu.

Still not good, Xiao Zhuo is ruthless and unjust to the prisoners, and the two of them have different opinions. He may not like to hear this news. Maybe he will complain in his heart that she has changed five thousand enemies, so it is better not to write this news. .

She has started to treat Mei Shizi's illness. This morning, she went to the Dongji Town Pharmacy to see if there were any corresponding medicinal materials. She took back the silver she shared along the way.

Ma Pu is Xiao Zhuo's good friend. Xiao Zhuo would definitely like to see her treat Mi Pu. So just write this.

After thinking clearly in her mind, Shen Yuexi stopped spinning her pen, sat upright, stretched out her pen and dipped ink into the inkstone.

When the pen tip hung on the paper, she was in trouble again.

From birth to now, I have never written a letter in this primitive way. In addition, I have never practiced calligraphy. If Xiao Zhuo saw his handwriting, would he laugh?

After a little hesitation, she made up her mind. It's ugly as long as it's ugly, but the important thing is the intention.

Picking up the pen, holding up the sleeve of her right hand with her left hand, Shen Yuexi held her breath and tremblingly wrote the four words "Husband is like a face" on the white paper.

After writing four words, sweat appeared on her forehead. She lifted the pen and wet her sleeve with sweat while reading the words she had written.

These four characters are written in a shaky and twisted way. If they were more abstract, they could definitely be used as oracle bone inscriptions.

The more Shen Yuexi looked at it, the angrier she became. She reached out and grabbed the paper, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it under the table.

If anyone saw this word, they would laugh out loud and throw it away immediately.

As soon as the courtyard door rang, there were footsteps running over, and Yang Cong's excited voice came from outside the door: "Madam, open the door quickly, there is good news."

Shen Yuexi quickly picked up the pen, pulled out a piece of paper, drew an oval, and applied a few strokes on it.

"Come in, I'm already up."

Yang Cong pushed the door open and came in, holding up the letter in his hand: "Madam, a sergeant just rode to our house and asked me to hand over this letter... Hey, madam, what are you doing?"

"I'm painting," Shen Yuexi licked her lips at the paper on the table, "Isn't this it? I drew a... crab."

"Wow... is this a crab?" Yang Cong bent over and looked at the graffiti on the paper in surprise, "How can a crab have ten legs?"

"The special variety over there in the capital... Hey, don't ask," Shen Yuexi stood up and reached out to grab the letter held by Yang Cong, "What is this?"

"It's a letter from the young master. I interrupted you just now and didn't finish my sentence."

Shen Yuexi groaned, quickly took out the letter paper, opened it and took a look.

I haven't written a few words yet, but Xiao Zhuo has already sent the letter. This is a bit embarrassing.

The words on the letter were so vivid that they penetrated the back of the paper. Even a novice like her who had no appreciation for calligraphy could see that Xiao Zhuo's calligraphy was as smooth as everyone else's.

With Yang Cong beside him, Shen Yuexi was embarrassed to read it and read silently by herself.

Xiao Zhuo stated how he missed her at the beginning, and then talked about the war situation.

When a hundred thousand Xirong troops besieged Leshan, Xiao Zhuo did not lead his troops directly to Leshan for rescue. Instead, he led his troops to insert into the main road between the enemy army and the rear supply of grain and grass, cutting off the enemy's food route.

The Xirong army did not expect this strategy of his and wanted to continue the siege. They only sent 20,000 cavalry to fight Xiao Zhuo. Xiao Zhuo won three battles in a row in three days, killing more than 6,000 enemy troops and suffering only a few casualties. When they reached a thousand, the enemy realized that their opponent was not Mepu, the prince of Xiliang.

Knowing that their opponent was Xiao Zhuo, King Doma of Xirong paid special attention to it. He immediately lifted the siege of Leshan and ordered an army of 100,000 to divide into four groups to surround Xiao Zhuo. They blocked all possible retreat routes for Xiao Zhuo.

Seeing this, Shen Yuexi couldn't help but panic.

The siege of Leshan has been lifted, and Xiao Zhuo has fulfilled his promise to Ma Pu. Now the enemy's army of 100,000 soldiers is outflanking to capture Xiao Zhuo, and it is not known whether he can escape safely.

She then looked down.

Xiao Zhuo could not return to Xiliang territory for the time being, so he led his cavalry into Xirong territory, using the mobility of the cavalry to throw off the enemy so that she did not have to worry.

"Although I am far away, my love will never change." This is the last sentence in the letter.

Shen Yuexi put down the letter and lowered her head in thought.

Xiao Zhuo is now surrounded by the Xirong army, but he is a cavalryman and does not have to worry about being caught up. He can write a letter to himself, explaining that the situation is not critical, and he can break out if he finds an opening. It is useless for her to be anxious here.

The most important thing at the moment is to go to Dongji Town quickly to see if we can find the raw materials for treating leprosy.

As long as Maipu's condition improves, he can be asked to persuade the King of Xiliang to send troops to help Xiao Zhuo. At the same time, the checkpoints at Langya Pass here must also start to be built. In case the Xirong army comes to attack here one day, with the checkpoints and

An advanced weapon like the serial crossbow can make it possible for one man to hold a barrier and prevent ten thousand others from opening it.

Xiao Zhuo is fighting outside, so she can't just sit around at home.

There is still much to do.
