Chapter 425 Childhood Wishes
The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
The two people sitting opposite each other still felt a little awkward.
Even though it's my own home.
But Lu Qingyao didn't expect that she was so familiar with Mu Yunji's house that she walked into his house without even knocking on the door.
She used to regard Mu Yunji as her elder brother.
But after all, he is not my biological brother, so it’s still different.
Mu Yunji didn't expect that Yaoyao didn't even knock on the door when she entered the house. Maybe she was used to taking care of him these days.
He actually quite enjoyed this kind of care.
This injury was worth it.
Look at the new clothes and shoes Yaoyao bought for him, the meals she prepared, and the care she gave him for his daily life...
Isn't this the day he has always dreamed of?
Three meals for two people, four seasons.
I wish time would stop at this moment.
The two looked at each other and smiled awkwardly, but the awkwardness didn't last long.
They are all children of military families. They are used to being carefree and do not have the pedantic ideas of scholars.
Lu Qingyao broke the silence: "Didn't you just change your clothes at noon? Why are you changing again now? I'm worried you'll catch a cold."
Although she brought a lot of clothes from the capital, there were more cloudy days than sunny days in the north.
Clothes are not easy to dry, so you have to wear them sparingly.
Mu Yunji complained helplessly: "It's Lu Bingwen who came over just now and accidentally knocked over the tea, spilling it all over me..."
He stopped talking halfway.
Only then did he realize that the person he was criticizing was Yaoyao's second brother.
Lu Qingyao: ...
This second brother must be sick.
He just said he had something to do and slipped away, but now he has wet his clothes again.
"Don't worry about my second brother. Brother Mu, drink the porridge first and then take the medicine. It's good for your spleen and stomach." Lu Qingyao pushed the medicine and fish soup in front of Mu Yunji and said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll do as you say." Mu Yunji took it with a smile.
Although it was a cold snowy day, he felt an unprecedented warmth, as if he was in the warm sunshine.
I wish time would stop at this moment.
Lu Qingyao looked at this man who was deliberately eating politely in front of her.
My heart ached and I felt a little sad.
She just saw it.
Saw the scars all over his body.
The old wounds have not yet healed, and new wounds have been added.
Those were all his numerous military achievements, and they were all testimonies of his life-and-death struggles for Daliang and the people.
The capital city is ablaze with flowers, bright lights, and endless prosperous buildings. The warm breeze of the capital makes the nobles indulge in revelry every night, living a life of drunkenness and dreams.
The border was desolate and cold, and the soldiers had neither warm clothes nor enough food.
Even countless people were buried in foreign lands.
However, there are still countless passionate men who leave their homes and rush to the frontier, sacrificing their lives and blood.
She had asked her father as a child.
Is it worth it?
Her father’s answer to her was that he would have no regrets even if he died.
She didn't understand it before, but now she knows its meaning.
She had been a lady in a general's mansion, the daughter of a criminal, an abandoned woman, and a peasant woman in the countryside.
From north to south.
She had seen the desolation of the north, the prosperity of the capital, and the hardships of people's lives.
I have seen people working hard every day, but still not having enough to eat or wear warm clothes.
Most of the grain is used to pay taxes.
I have also seen that a jade cup smashed casually by a noble lady was enough for an ordinary person to live on for a year.
He seemed to understand the meaning of his father's persistence.
I also understand that millions of soldiers would rather die than protect their homes.
They were not protecting the emperor, nor the powerful.
But relatives.
Behind every soldier is a home.
They are protecting their parents, wives and children, or brothers and sisters.
As the commander-in-chief, his father and Mu Yunji have a heavier burden on their shoulders.
They are responsible for the safety of every soldier and the safety of the entire Daliang.
At this moment, Lu Qingyao understood even more clearly what her father said: "I will have no regrets even if I die."
Mu Yunji finished his porridge and medicine, then put down his bowl...
When he looked up, he saw Lu Qingyao staring at him in a daze, her eyes red.
He quickly handed her a handkerchief: "Yaoyao, do you miss the children and want to go back to the capital?" Mu Yunji's face was full of guilt: "If I hadn't been injured, you wouldn't have to stay here for all these days."
Lu Qingyao took the handkerchief and put it aside, forcing a smile: "How could I miss them? Miaomiao has found her parents and is very happy. Besides, I have other things to do here..."
"What's the matter? To save Feng'er's woman?"
Mu Yunji didn't expect that he had just brought Feng Ge'er and Princess Rong'an together, and before they got married, another woman appeared.
Of these two guys, Cui Xingzhou is obviously more popular with girls.
But it is strange that the singer actually fell in love with the dull Feng Ge'er.
It’s not that there’s anything wrong with Brother Feng.
But this woman seemed to be too persistent and even chased him from Yucheng.
Lu Qingyao shook her head: "She is only part of the reason. If we win this battle, can we reopen the border trade?"
"Yes, it will definitely reopen." Mu Yunji nodded.
Lu Qingyao waited for a long time. "Although we can't grow food in the northern border, the grass and water are very lush, and livestock are thriving. If we open a trade, I want to ship Lu Ji's cloth and silk here, sell them to the northern barbarians, and then exchange them for horses and sheep."
"This is a great idea. Does Yipinju need to be opened here as well? There will definitely be a lot of merchants coming and going by then." Although Mu Yunji didn't know much about business, he knew it was a good idea.
"Of course we have to open it."
Lu Qingyao had already thought about it. Not only could they exchange horses and sheep, but they could also exchange them for their spices and jewelry.
The dignitaries in the capital city loved these treasures from the Western Regions the most.
If it is shipped there, the price will increase several times.
This can be considered as taking from the people and using it for the people.
Lu Qingyao thought to herself, "I also want to open a clinic and pharmacy in this northern land, but I need your approval for one thing."
"What's the matter?" Mu Yunji rarely heard her ask for his help. "Just tell me."
"I just want to borrow the doctor from your camp."
"Divine Doctor Jun?" Mu Yunji was surprised. "He was originally the doctor in your father's camp. Why would we need to borrow him? As long as he agrees, everything will be fine."
Lu Qingyao smiled, this was exactly what he wanted to hear.
Once a pharmacy or clinic opens, there naturally needs to be a doctor on duty.
"Doctor Jun's medical skills are unmatched. I've discussed this with him. When there's no war, he can stay in the clinic, practice medicine, and accept disciples. This will benefit the people of Cangzhou."
Mu Yunji nodded in agreement.
"I remember you always had this wish, but later..."
Later you returned to the capital and got married.
Lu Qingyao was surprised: "It happened so long ago, and you still remember it, Brother Mu?"
Lu Qingyao had always had the idea of opening a clinic and pharmacy in Cangzhou.
She discovered that the poorer the place, the harder it was to find medicinal herbs, and the greater the shortage of medical care and medicine.
Ordinary people simply cannot afford medicine or medical treatment.
Later, my father brought Dr. Jun.
Doctor Jun was originally the chief physician of the Imperial Medical Bureau. He failed to save Concubine Zhen's child and failed to cure Concubine Zhen.
The emperor took his anger out on him and demoted him and exiled him.
Xing'er's father spoke up for him and said that the army was short of a military doctor.
So Doctor Jun came and stayed in this desolate place for several years.
He settled down here and brought his wife and children here as well.
Although life here is hard, Dr. Jun enjoys it.
According to his words.
He no longer had to worry and put his head on his belt.
For a medical practitioner, saving lives is the best way to save lives.
In the eyes of doctors, princes, concubines, dignitaries, and common people are all the same.
There is no difference.
He treats everyone equally.
Here, he can save more people.
Mu Yunji looked at Yaoyao in front of him with gentle and affectionate eyes. She was the woman who had amazed him throughout his youth.
She didn't hide the love in her eyes.
He's been hiding for too long.
But he didn't want to hide now. This time he cut off the head of the barbarian leader and avenged his father and brother.
He was now afraid that life was too short, that his youth was gone, and that he would never get the chance to speak out the words that had been buried deep in his heart for years.
He looked at her: "I remember, of course I remember, Yaoyao, I remember every word you said, I never forget it."
Lu Qingyao: ...
She felt Mu Yunji's burning gaze.
And her heartbeat seemed to speed up, thump, thump, thump...
She hadn't noticed anything before.
But……
But in the past few days, she saw him every day, and she always felt that Mu Yunji's eyes never left her.
She is a woman who has given birth to a child.
Why can't I understand this look?
She thought there was something wrong with her eyes, but when she heard Mu Yunji say this.
If she still doesn't understand, then she is stupid.
Her cheeks were slightly hot: "I...Xiuxiu has something to talk to me about, I'll leave first..."
