Chapter 436: No matter how bitter or sweet you are

Xue Mei settled down in Baiya Town.

The boat was exhausted, and Xiao Jingcheng asked someone to fetch water to clean her up and take a shower.

There were only two barrels of water brought in.

This little water is not enough to wet the bathtub.

The maids brought by Xue Mei were Jinping and Cai Yuan, one was introverted and the other was a little cowardly, so they both looked at Xue Mei without saying a word.

If the girl Hongluan was there, she would be yelling at this moment.

Xiao Jingcheng was also a little embarrassed and explained: "I did a great job this year..."

Xue Mei knew very well that in places like Baiya Town, without later technological water supply technology, natural water is rare in drought seasons.

Two buckets of water may be the drinking water for half of the soldiers in the battalion.

Xue Mei immediately smiled and said, "Two barrels are too many, it's a bit extravagant. Let's save money and wash whatever you want."

She asked Xiao Jingcheng to carry a bucket back.

Xiao Jingcheng smiled and reached out to touch her head: "Don't worry, I can get you water."

Xue Mei is still very thrifty.

She washed her hair, and she washed it very roughly, and she wiped her body at will, but she didn't sweat anyway. She washed the remaining bucket of water for the two maids.

The clothes are washed with this bath water.

After washing the water, Xue Mei asked them to put it in a small bucket and sweep the floor when they wake up early to prevent dust.

Xue Mei's ability to adapt surprised the maids.

After washing up, you will feel much more comfortable.

The meal at night was very rich. In addition to a few meat dishes, two green vegetables were also produced: a green leafy vegetable that Xue Mei didn't know, and kelp.

Xue Mei smiled: "Can you eat kelp in Baiya Town?"

"It's selling very well here." Xiao Jingcheng said, "Does Mingyu give you a lot of money?"

Xue Mei: "It's okay, my wet nurse goes to reconcile every month, and I don't know very well. There must be some."

Kelp is still a luxury product now and is not something you can see on the dinner table every day.

In northwest towns, those who can eat kelp must be either rich or noble, just like Xiao Jingcheng.

Kelp sells very well. Xiao Mingyu has many channels and has always been very good. He has made a lot of money.

Xue Mei followed him to make some convenient money.

Xue Mei is now worth a lot of money. If she is in another year or two, she will probably be a rich woman.

Unfortunately, I can't raise a novice.

The welcome dinner was not only Xue Mei and Xiao Jingcheng, but also the Lu brothers, and Xue Mei's fifth brothers.

My fifth brother has been a little dark these days and has lost a lot of weight.

"Didn't you have enough food?" Xue Mei asked him.

"...I'm a little uncomfortable with the long journey. Baiya Town's training is from morning to night, eight hours a day, which is different from the Rui Prince's Mansion." Xiao Jingcheng explained on behalf of Xue Run, "He may be tired."

Xue Run nodded.

"Big sister, don't worry, I'm fine. Do you have to come to Baiya Town when I eat well?" Xue Run asked.

Xue Mei: "What are you thinking about? I'm for the prince."

Xue Run: “…”

The prince's lips were slightly raised at this moment, changing his coldness and seriousness outside, and his eyes and eyebrows were filled with joy.

The eldest sister is really good at pleasing the prince.

The Lu brothers had never seen Xue Meiyan's words go too far. When the two heard this, they felt that they should have avoided it, but they were not easy to say it clearly and sat awkwardly.

After dinner, everyone went to rest, but Xiao Jingcheng refused to leave.

He and Xue Mei walked around the courtyard.

The courtyard is not like Kyoto, with bright corner lights hanging everywhere, and it is bright at night.

Xiao Jingcheng carried a lantern to shine on the road. The two of them walked very slowly, neither fast nor slow.

"...When did you decide to come to Baiya Town?" Xiao Jingcheng asked her.

Xue Mei: "When you decide to leave."

Xiao Jingcheng smiled secretly in the darkness, and could not hide his complacentness.

When he left Kyoto, many worries were now turned into ashes.

Maybe it was because the light was light at night, and the entire General's Mansion was bare everywhere, without any trees, and the courtyard wall was gray.

Xiao Jingcheng said to her: "The conditions here are difficult. If you don't talk about it, in the cold winter, you may not be able to eat rice and grain. We often live on dry food."

Dry food is a very hard cake, harder than the bottom of a pot. If you bite it in one breath, it can break half of your teeth.

When eating, roast it on the fire if possible, and it can be eaten with a little bit; if you don’t have the conditions, you will swallow it hard, which is similar to eating a stone.

"It's okay, I can live on dry food." Xue Mei smiled, and then she secretly told Xiao Jingcheng, "I still have nutritional cream, which is what you have eaten before."

Her nutritional paste is a space military ration, a soft paste similar to a cat's nutritional paste. It tastes like eating toothpaste. The experience is very bad, but it can meet the nutritional needs of the human body for several days in one meal.

Xiao Jingcheng: “…”

He felt sorry for thinking that she came over to endure hardship; but he thought that he could see her every day, and he couldn't tell the sweetness in his heart.

Putting the lantern on the rocks, Xiao Jingcheng picked her up.

Xue Mei suddenly flew into the air and was startled.

Xiao Jingcheng hugged her and sat on the rocks so that she could look down at him from a high place.

He gently pecked her lips.

Xue Mei leaned over and took his lips.

The two of them talked about the joy of reunion after their farewell. Xiao Jingcheng hugged Xue Mei tightly, for fear that she would disappear from her arms.

Then, he sighed: "Am I dreaming?"

Xue Mei laughed.

That night, Xue Mei slept very soundly. Baiya Town lacked anything, but Xiao Jingcheng brought her a new bedding, washed it cleanly, with the fragrance and softness of the sun.

Xue Mei had a good night's sleep.

The next day, when she woke up early, she changed into thick blouses with her two maids, planning to stroll around Baiya Town and report to the military medical camp.

It snowed yesterday, and it was clear today, but the wind was strong.

The strong wind seems to be able to cut open the flesh and pour it directly into the bones. The environment in bitter and cold places is harsh and not something that ordinary people can bear.

Jinping and Xue Mei had no feelings, so Cai Yuan was not very adaptable, but she gritted her teeth and endured it.

Lu Wen and Lu Shu were waiting for Xue Mei at the gate, and the two brothers also changed into thick clothes.

"Old ancestor, why are you so cold?" Lu Wen said as soon as he opened his mouth, "It's not October yet."

"This is Baiya Town, not as good as Kyoto." Xue Mei smiled.

Xiao Jingcheng went to train early in the morning and wanted to handle military affairs, not in the General's Mansion, but in the military service camp not far away.

The place where Xue Mei and the Lu brothers reported were also in the military service camp.

The military service camp is a short house, lined up, and soldiers stand guard far apart, and no idle people are allowed to approach.

They went for a walk in the morning, but before lunch time, they finished visiting the military camp.

The clerks in the military service camp checked their documents, then wrote the names of the three of them on wooden signs, and took them to the military medical camp.

There is an officer in the military medical camp. His official position is a doctor general, equivalent to the magistrate of the Imperial Hospital. He is responsible for coordinating the affairs of the military medical camp.

The doctor general's surname is Feng, and his single name is Lin. He used to work in the Imperial Hospital.

He didn't know Xue Mei very much, but he was very familiar with the people from the Lu family. Feng Lin was shocked when he heard that this was the young doctor of the Lu family.
