Chapter 22 Chapter 22 Plain clothes are like snow, and lamb fur is like wet

Yan Wei returned to the house, picked up the dress and looked at it carefully. Although it is just a plain white tunic, the hem of the garment is densely embroidered with patterns with bleached silk thread, because the cloth ground and embroidery thread are both white, nothing can be seen from a distance, but it is extremely complicated and gorgeous when viewed up close. Embroidery work: All are patterns of Tenglong Xizhu, each dragon is different, but the beads are the same, with rays of light shooting out around them, clearly the sun.It really was specially made for Long Yang, the pattern on it coincided with his name - Long Yang.

After another month, the nightshade never came again. Like a mouse moving a warehouse, Yan Wei brought back all the charcoal from the iron smelting mat shed bit by bit. He didn't have to worry about keeping warm, but as the winter cold deepened, the clothes on his body became thinner. Even though the black dress was a jacket, it was only two layers. There was an emerald coat on the outside, which could only block the wind and not keep warm. Apart from that, there was no other clothes to wear.There is a fire in the house, and you can sit under the quilt, which is fine, but you can't wear a quilt when you go out to fetch water, cut reeds, or catch fish.

Yan Wei had seen poor people put reed flower catkins in their jackets to keep warm before, and thought about trying it, but firstly, she was not good at being a female celebrity, and secondly, she was afraid of making the dress look bad.After all, it is a gown with five chapters embroidered on it, just like the envoy held by the envoy, it represents one's own country and identity, and cannot be destroyed. Think about it, or just run out like this, and never come back!In this season, it should be easy to swim across the two-mile waterway in one go.But... I am a hostage, and I have to wait until the two countries turn against each other and fight each other, and then I can be considered to have relinquished the responsibility on my shoulders and can leave here.

Besides, did Long Yang really let himself move freely in the forbidden palace like this?I'm afraid not necessarily, it is very likely that it is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. It looks like letting go, but in fact someone is secretly watching.So whether it's Wu Jie or Solanum nigrum, they are a bit sneaky, so...they haven't come here for so long. Yan Wei had to try to reduce the number of times she went out, and every time she went out, she tried to go back as quickly as possible, and as soon as she entered the house, she quickly warmed herself up by the fire and bathed her feet to warm herself up as soon as possible.

As the weather got colder and colder, the lake water gradually froze, and it became harder to catch fish, and even the original stored food was running low, so Yan Wei had to save as much as possible, because she was hungry, so she became more afraid of the cold, and gradually felt her body Also weakened day by day.Yan Wei could only try her best to recuperate with medicinal tea.But there are not many herbs that can be harvested in winter, so the compatibility of assistants is naturally out of the question, and the effect is much worse... Going around along the lake, you will find the Forbidden Palace, at most two or three miles away, you will find another bustling world.Yan Wei intends to go to Solanum nigrum to ask for clothes and food, but she always feels that she is like a beggar, and she loses the face of the whole Yang country, no matter what, she can't get down on this knee.Perhaps, Long Yang was waiting for this moment, waiting for her, the princess of Yang Guo in men's clothing, to bow her head, but this head cannot be lowered, and for the sake of Yang Guo's face, she has to endure it.

Every time there was any disturbance outside the door, Yan Wei would be surprised and delighted to think that it was Wujie or Solanum nigrum, but no one came.Every time she went out, Yan Wei would always look in the direction of Naye Iron Mat Shed, but the fire there had never been lit again, and Mu Bie had never appeared again. Runny nose, dry throat, headache, cough... No matter how careful you are, the wind and cold still come. Yan Wei lay drowsy on the bed, dreaming. I dreamed that I was sleeping in the mansion of the young master, with a blazing fire, lying on the warm rabbit fur mattress, hugging the fox fur, and smelling the rich smell of "Fengxiang" at the end of my nose... as if all this now is a dream , she was still the same Yan Wei who first met Young Master Su.

Suddenly, as if falling from a cloud, Yan Wei felt palpitations and immediately woke up. She felt limp in her limbs and could not use any strength. When she touched her neck with her hands, she felt hot, and her pulse was much faster than usual. Just dig some reed root outside and boil water to reduce fever and relieve cough.Thinking about it, Yan Wei gritted her teeth, stood up in her clothes, and walked downstairs. As soon as the door was opened, Yan Wei was forced back by the cold wind outside.The wind blew snowflakes all over the sky and poured them directly into the house. Yan Wei shuddered and almost couldn't stand upright. She hurriedly closed the door, went to the stove to boil some hot water and drank it, and then fell down on the bed in a daze .

After an unknown amount of time, Yan Wei woke up again with a splitting headache, her throat and chest felt like a fire was burning, her limbs were throbbing faintly, she wanted to get up, but she couldn't move at all. This is not going to work... Yan Wei thought, exerting her last bit of strength, she pulled out her hands and massaged the Fengchi points on the back of her neck, the Lieque points and Waiguan points on her arms. Pressed and fell asleep again. When Yan Wei woke up again, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave. The charcoal fire in the charcoal basin beside the bed had already been burned out, and the fire in the stove below must have been extinguished long ago.

"If you don't add charcoal, I'm afraid you'll freeze to death." Yan Wei tried to get up, but she felt dizzy, wrapped in a quilt, and rolled under the bed, losing consciousness. It seems to be dreaming again, like being hugged by someone, it is soft and warm, and I also feel that there is warm liquid from the lips, tongue, and throat, ironing the chest and abdomen to warm it. medicine... When Yan Wei woke up again, she first felt her body relax, and she didn't need to tap her pulse to know that the heat had subsided. It was already noon, the sun was shining brightly in the room, and the charcoal fire beside the bed was burning vigorously.

Yan Wei stretched out her hand to touch it, and found that besides the brocade quilt on her body, she was wearing a black mink fur.Yang Guo does not produce sables, and sable furs are extremely rare, so this is the first time Yan Wei has touched sable furs.I just feel that the tentacles are densely packed with sharp needles, oily and slippery, plump and dense, but not as soft as fox fur and rabbit fur. While in a trance, he suddenly heard the sound of the stairs, looked up and saw a person standing at the stairs, it was Long Yang.I saw him wearing a deep snow-white robe, embroidered with dragon, tiger and phoenix patterns all over his body, and holding a clay pot in his hand.

Seeing that Yan Wei woke up, Long Yang was also a little surprised, as if he couldn't save his face, he turned around and was about to go downstairs, but then he calmed down, raised his face, curled his lips slightly, pointed at the sable fur, and said, "The clothes are left here. Yes, I'll come back and get it." Yan Wei smiled and said, "Why do you think of coming to my place..." As soon as the words came out, she felt her voice was hoarse and unpleasant, and even she was taken aback. Long Yang smiled contemptuously again: "I haven't seen you go out for two days, so I naturally know that something has happened. Before the Changyan Pass, I said that I would never let the hostages freeze and starve to death. Naturally, I can't break my promise." Yan Wei thought to herself, sure enough someone was watching secretly, and she didn't expose it, she just pointed to the clay pot and said, "Is that medicine? It's for me?" Long Yang pursed his lips and did not speak, he just put the clay pot on the table heavily, turned around and left. "You haven't taken your clothes yet..." Yan Wei said. Long Yang stood still and didn't look back, just said: "I'm dirty by you, don't want it!" After speaking, he went straight downstairs. Yan Wei originally wanted to say "thank you", but was blocked by Long Yang's words "I was dirty by you". Little by little, down, down, until it's out of sight. The sable fur seemed to be tailor-made for Yan Wei, and it just passed her ankle after wearing it. In the pottery pot was the boiled medicinal soup, neither hot nor cold, just right for the mouth. After taking the medicine, Yan Wei came downstairs, and saw that there were a lot of grains such as rice and beans downstairs, as well as dried vegetables and dried fish, all neatly packed, the water tank was full, and the stove Also spotlessly clean.It must have been when he was drowsy that Long Yang sent someone to tidy it up. Opening the door, I saw a vast snowy field outside, the snow was half a foot thick.However, the three-foot-square area in front of the door was swept clean, and a snow-free path was swept out, winding and extending along the shore of the lake. Yan Wei was watching, and saw a person walking towards the distance of the path, dressed in red, standing out in the snowy field, his figure seemed to be nightshade. As soon as Solanum nigrum came to the door, she grabbed Yan Wei and entered the room, turned around and closed the door, and said angrily, "You still stand at the door to blow air when you are sick. You know medicine, why don't you know how to be considerate of yourself?" Yan Wei smiled and said: "I saw you coming from a distance, if I turned around and went in, it would be too rude." Solanum nigrum also smiled: "In my own home, and I'm sick again, why bother talking about those vain etiquettes." When Yan Wei heard her say "my own home", her heart froze, and she didn't know how to say it. As Solanum nigrum said, she was untying the belt of the big red cloak on her body. It was not known whether it was tied too tightly at the knots, or her hands were stiff from the cold, but she couldn't untie it for a while. Yan Wei hurried over to help. As soon as she touched the cloak, Yan Wei was stunned for a moment. The cloak was made of silk, but it looked like fur. False whiskers used. "What kind of material is this?" Yan Wei asked. "This is called velvet loop brocade. When weaving, we use the pile rod to make a circle, and then remove the pile rod to form such a circle of plush. It is thick and warm, and lighter than fur. Solanum nigrum replied. Yan Weila Solanum nigrum went upstairs and sat down, and said with a smile, "Why haven't you come to see me for so long?" Solanum nigrum was a little embarrassed, and said: "The last time I came to see you secretly, my brother lost his temper. I didn't want to make my brother angry again, so I didn't dare to come again..." Yan Wei wondered, "Could it be that your brother is still watching you?" Solanum nigrum waved his hand and said: "That's not true, I don't hide anything from my brother, even if I did it at the time, I would confess it afterwards, otherwise I would feel uncomfortable..." Yan Wei thought that the relationship between the siblings was very good, and she couldn't help but think of Gongzi Ju and Gongzi Cong. She wondered what Gongzi Jue was doing now... Is there any whereabouts for Gongzi Cong... Seeing that Yan Wei was silent, Long Kui quickly explained: "Actually...it's not that my brother treats you badly. He just wants you to think of his kindness, and doesn't want other people to get involved. He asks you to only use the ones he sent. Tan, only wear the clothes he sent..." Yan Wei's heart skipped a beat: "How do you say that..." Solanum nigrumi said: "You have been sick for the past few days, you don't know how anxious my brother is, he is asking for medical treatment, decocting medicine, fumigation and sweeping, and ordering those servants around." Yan Wei said: "He just wants me to bow my head to him." Solanum nigrum anxiously said: "Why can't you bow your head? My brother really cares about you, and he doesn't want to fight against you. This mink fur is a mink that my brother hunted by himself, and his mother made it herself. The year my mother left , my brother is only thirteen years old... the silk clothes that the queen mother made for him have all rotted away, and only this one is left, but he gave it to you." Solanum nigrum said, almost on the verge of weeping. After hearing this, Yan Wei also felt that the clothes were precious, so she hurriedly took them off and said, "Since it is such an important dress, I dare not wear it anymore. You take it back to him and thank him for me..." Solanum nigrum shook her head: "Brother asked me to send you a smock to match this mink fur. You just need to dress it carefully." Then she covered her mouth and chuckled, and continued, "I'll let him wear it himself. Send it over, but he is awkward and refuses." Yan Wei smiled bitterly and said: "Look at me, I have to carry water to make a fire, wash rice and catch fish. These are heavy jobs. Wearing such good clothes is too wasteful, but I can't bear it if I don't wear them." I can't stop being cold..." Yan Wei sniffed again without realizing it. Solanum nigrum hurriedly helped Yan Wei put on the sable fur, and said: "From now on, you don't have to do these things yourself. Someone will cook for you three meals a day, and the medicine will be fried and delivered. Your body will be fine!"
