The sudden heavy snowfall in the border town enveloped the entire world in white.
Shulan and the others played with the chubby boy for a while before finally arriving at the clinic.
The clinic was very quiet.
Huang Qi and his fellow students studied there.
When everyone saw Shulan and the others coming, they simply called out to them and then resumed their serious study.
Shulan didn't disturb them; following the aroma, she went to the restaurant.
As for the restaurants, business was only affected yesterday by the heavy snow.
However, yesterday, looking at the cold weather, Shulan thought of oden and mala tang.
In the evening, I taught Chen Ma how to do it.
Everyone's spicy and fragrant flavor is absolutely irresistible.
Everyone likes Chen Ma, and I thought that since we're at the restaurant today, it would be a good opportunity for everyone to try her food.
Sure enough, early in the morning.
The aroma seemed to fill the entire street.
Following the aroma, everyone learned that it was a new dish made by Aunt Chen and came over to eat.
It's fragrant and spicy, with an unforgettable aftertaste, and it warms you up from head to toe.
Add a pot of wine, and that would be pure bliss.
So, on this snowy day, while other shops had little business, the restaurants were doing exceptionally well.
They greeted He Fengmian and Shu Lan warmly upon seeing them.
At first, they didn't recognize that this tall, handsome young man with fair skin was their general.
After all, in their minds, their general was a burly man with a full beard, how could he be like this, a pretty young man?
So when they learned that this was their great general, they were all so shocked that their jaws dropped.
It took me a long time to accept this reality.
Then it dawned on them that their general was only in his early twenties.
As everyone reminisced about the past, they also thought of General He and the late General He.
Recalling the past, I can't help but feel sentimental.
He Fengmian, who knew this would happen from the moment he shaved, was unfazed and remained as usual.
Even when he saw everyone busy, he would hand the chubby boy over to Shulan and help out with everyone else.
Everyone warmly invited the general to drink.
It seems that as long as General He isn't wearing armor, he's not a general at all, but rather their junior, their family member.
They even inquired with concern whether there was enough food and clothing for the winter, and said they would try to find a solution.
During those years, the imperial court was harsh on the military, and the army often ran out of food. Even though the people were also hungry, they would often send some food and clothing to the soldiers.
However, the border region was too poor, and everyone's contributions were limited.
Fortunately, the wealthy gentlemen also bought grain from Yaocheng to provide relief.
In addition, they often went hunting in the mountains, so they managed to get through it.
He Fengmian smiled and said, "That's enough. There's plenty of food this year. Take good care of yourselves this winter."
Despite being a high-ranking and powerful general, he was down-to-earth and mingled with the common people.
No wonder, the original owner had heard that the He family in the border town were like gods.
Because of this incident, the court impeached the He family many times.
The late emperor was not pleased and feared that the He family's achievements would overshadow his own and that they might have rebellious intentions.
They couldn't find anything wrong with the He family, so they could only find ways to be harsh on the grain and fodder.
The current Emperor of Dafeng is completely different from his father, openly favoring and protecting the He family.
The He family is also telling everyone that they are the backbone of Dafeng, guarding the border for Dafeng.
Shulan held the future General He in her arms, watching him gnaw on a chicken leg. He was greasy, so she wiped his face for him.
Smelling the fragrance, watching the lively scene, and looking at the snow-covered landscape outside.
Suddenly, I felt a sense of peace and tranquility, and I also suddenly felt a little homesick.
It seems that cold weather and snow always make people overthink.
I've been here for more than half a year, and I don't know if my family members have recovered from their grief over their own deaths.
She didn't want her family to forget her, but she also didn't want them to be saddened by her.
She thought that she would only ever be able to stay in this world for the rest of her life...
He Fengmian paused slightly when he saw her looking at the snow with a longing and sorrowful expression on her face.
Sudden.
He stepped forward and tossed the chubby baby in Shulan's arms to Uncle Rong, who was standing nearby.
Fatty: "???"
Looking at Shulan's bewildered expression, he said, "Come on, I'll take you somewhere."
After saying that, he draped the cloak that Shimo had given him over Shulan's shoulders and then reached out to hold her hand.
The two of them left hand in hand in front of everyone.
The restaurant was quiet as Uncle Rong held his young master in his arms.
He said cheerfully, "Young Master and Young Mistress have such a good relationship."
The others nodded in agreement: "That's right."
Shulan was being led by He Fengmian.
Ask him, "Where are we going?"
He Fengmian said, "Let's go to the lake."
He put his finger directly to his lips and blew a loud whistle.
Soon after, the sound of horses' hooves rang out.
Suddenly, Jingfeng arrived, stepping through the white snow, so beautiful that it was impossible to look away.
He Fengmian, carrying Shulan, suddenly leaped onto his horse, just like in a TV drama.
If Shulan were watching from a third-person perspective, she would definitely think this scene was incredibly cool.
At this moment, He Fengmian carried her to Jingfeng.
While supporting Jingfeng, He Fengmian tightly wrapped her cloak around her body.
At the same time, he embraced her in a protective manner.
He even leaned close to her ear and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
He didn't intend to do that.
Even last night, he was still thinking about how to keep her from discovering his feelings.
He had considered a slow and steady relationship, and the idea of letting time erode her.
Make her used to being by my side and unable to leave me.
But when you see that look in her eyes and that expression, it's as if the world doesn't belong to her.
He Fengmian felt that he should forget about the slow and steady approach and his habits.
He wanted to cherish this person and didn't want her to leave him.
"Mmm," Shulan's voice was soft and gentle.
Her heart raced from all that, but she didn't dislike it.
She likes a man's occasional assertiveness.
It has to be admitted that this man has everything going for him, whether it's his height, looks, or personality.
And she's so good at flirting, it's hard not to be attracted...
There were no pedestrians on the street, so the two headed towards the lake.
Even with such deep snow, the speed of the wind was not affected.
The two rode the Jingfeng towards the lake.
There was no scenery along the way, just a vast expanse of white.
The wind was also very cold; it felt like a knife.
This is not a good time or weather for a date.
Neither of them said anything.
He Fengmian simply tried his best to protect Shulan from the wind.
Shulan nestled in his arms, feeling completely safe.
She thought she knew what to do.
