Because the emperor and Eunuch Guan's words had something to do with his background, Han Jie became enthralled when he heard it from the tree. He accidentally made a noise with his feet.
The branch emitted a cracking sound, Eunuch Guan immediately blocked in front of the emperor and shouted, "Protect the emperor!"
The people behind him immediately protected Han Yun in the middle.
Eunuch Guan shouted again: "Inform the guards, quick!"
On the other hand, Han Yun was unperturbed by the change. He looked at the location of the sound and said in a clear voice: "Who is on the tree in the middle of the night? Hurry up and come down to plead guilty! "
When Han Jie heard this, he couldn't sit still and slid down the tree. Immediately, two eunuchs went over to hold him down.
Han Jie was being held down. With his head drooping, he knelt in front of Han Yun and said, "It's me, Royal Father."
Eunuch Guan used the lantern to shine on Han Jie's face. When he realized it was him, he was shocked. "Your Highness?"
Han Jie only felt two icicles looking at him from above, "I …" "I didn't mean to …"
"It's already so late, why aren't you sleeping? What are you doing here?" Han Yun asked coldly.
Although he didn't appear alarmed on the surface, he was still a bit nervous from the commotion. The thought crossed his mind that King Ann might have sent someone to assassinate him.
"I... "I …" Han Jie didn't know what to say. He couldn't possibly say that he couldn't sleep, so he was bored to climb trees outside, right?
"It must be that Your Highness's heart was excited when he saw the emperor today, and he didn't have the heart to sleep, right?" Eunuch Guan laughed softly, "Your Highness is full of childishness. You actually know how to climb trees. "
Han Yun snorted, "Is this childish? I think this is mediocre and hopelessly stupid! "
Wu Tie flicked his sleeves and left. The crowd hurriedly chased after him. Some of them switched on their lights while others guarded their carriages. Eunuch Guan said to Han Jie, "Go back quickly!" He didn't dare to delay any longer and chased after Han Yun.
Han Jie looked at Royal Father who was slowly walking away and got up from the ground. He grimaced and stretched his shoulders. Those two Young Eunuch really thought he was an assassin or something, they almost crushed his shoulder bones.
In front of him, Wu Tie walked a few hundred meters in anger. When he saw Eunuch Guan finally catch up, he scolded him, "This is the son you spoke of, the son of the Emperor! If you don't sleep in the middle of the night to climb trees, not only will you be average and stupid, you will also be sick! "
Eunuch Guan immediately lowered his head to the point where he was about to hit the floor, and said, "Please calm your anger, Your Majesty, please calm your anger."
"From today onwards, if you dare to mention this child in front of me again, I will expel you to the late emperor to guard the spirit!"
"Yes, yes, this servant will not speak anymore."
When Mo Yin was in the capital, she had seen snow before. However, he had never seen such a boundless, heavy snowstorm.
The first heavy snowfall this year came earlier than the previous year by a month. Mo Yin was standing in the yard, wearing a new cotton jacket with red flowers on the ground that her mother had sewn for her. Her face was red from the cold, but she did not feel cold. When the snow ran out, she opened her mouth and stretched out her tongue to catch it, letting it float into her mouth.
Mo Jun stood at the door with his hands in his sleeves. He felt that his sister was stupid. He was like a little dog, with his tongue stretched out so long.
A layer of snow had already fallen over Mo Yin's head. Her giggling floated through the snow to the sky. Mo Jun was infected by her laughter and energy. He finally took his hand out of his sleeve, squatted down and pinched a snowball. He stretched out his hand and said to Mo Yin, "Sister, it's for you!"
Mo Yin ran back and took the snowball from her brother. With her other hand, she grabbed his wrist and said happily, "Brother, don't hide under the eaves anymore. So fun! It's much more fun than the snow in Beijing. "
That was true. In the capital, when it snowed, there would be servants holding up umbrellas to prevent them from catching the snow and catching a cold. Standing like this in the snow, playing around was simply not allowed.
Mo Jun followed his sister and pulled him into the yard. A few snowflakes just happened to fall on his neck. The snowflakes melted on his neck and a burst of coldness made him shrink his neck. "So cold!"
When Mo Yin saw her brother's twisted expression, she laughed heartily. Mo Jun twisted his neck and grabbed his collar tightly. Mo Yin squatted down, pinched another snowball, and walked to Mo Yin's side. She placed the snowball on her neck. Mo Yin shrieked in fright at the sudden icy attack, "Big brother!"
Mo Jun laughed heartily, "Who asked you to laugh at me, this is the punishment."
Mo Yin was unwilling to accept this and threw the snowball towards Mo Jun's chest. Peng, it landed on Mo Jun's body, causing the snowball to break into pieces. Mo Yin ran to the side laughing, afraid that her brother would take revenge on her.
"You bad sister, see if I don't bury you in the snow!"
"Don't! Big brother, spare me!" Help! "
At this moment, Mrs. Faang was sewing in the room. When she heard the noise outside, she was afraid that the siblings would go overboard, but also afraid that they would freeze over. She opened the window and shouted, "Yin, Jun, quickly come back inside the room. Be careful not to get your hair and clothes wet."
At this moment, Mo Yin had already been caught by Mo Jun and was being pushed into the pile of snow.
Hearing his mother's voice, Mo Jun had to stop and pulled Mo Yin up, saying, "Alright, Mom is calling us. I'll forgive you this time. "
Mo Yin gasped for breath, snowflakes hung from her eyelashes, as she giggled, "At least you're sensible. If you really want to bury me, mother will definitely spank you. "
Hearing that, Mo Jun didn't argue with the little girl, but she started to provoke him. She grabbed her shoulders with both hands, lifted her and put her down, causing Mo Yin to scream as she fell into the pile. Mo Jun held the snow in his hands and scattered it all over her body.
After a while, Mo Yin was completely covered by snow. At this moment, the little girl knew how amazing her brother was and she hurriedly begged, "Big brother, I was wrong, I was wrong, don't bury me anymore."
"You know your wrongs?" Mo Jun stopped and stood in front of her, looking down at her from above, "Do you still dare to be naughty with your brother?"
"I don't dare." Mo Yin said obediently while lying in the snow.
"That's more like it." Mo Jun bent down to dig her out of the snow.
Pulling her up and flapping the snow off her body, he heard Mrs. Faang say, "Jun, are you bullying your sister again?"
Mo Jun was unconvinced, "She was the one who bullied me first. Mother, you can't be biased. "
"Yin is my little sister. As her elder brother, you have to let her go."
"I understand mother, please don't say anymore." Mo Jun said helplessly.
However, Mo Yin acted as if she had someone backing her up, "See, if you tease me, mother will scold you."
Mo Jun made a face and tried to throw her into the snow again. Mo Yin let out a scream, grabbed her head and ran away from him. Then, she dove into the house.
It took a day for the snow to stop. The next day, the sky was clear, and early in the morning, Mo Jun was cleaning the yard with Mo Qian. Mo Yin was in the room making breakfast with her mother.
When breakfast was almost ready, the father and son dusted off the snow in the yard.
Mo Jun was busy digging up the piles of snow piled outside the yard. Mo Qian looked at his son's weird actions and asked, "Jun, what are you doing? "It's not cold."
Mo Jun rolled a snowball: "I'll be a snowman for my sister."
Hearing that, Mo Qian laughed, "It's hard for you to think of your sister everywhere."
"Mother said that I'm an older brother. I have to protect my younger sister and let her take care of me. I remember. "
"This kid is worth teaching." Mo Qian said in relief. Staring at them from the side, he could not help but step forward, "I'll go with you. We'll make a snowman for your mother and your sister. "
"That's great." Mo Jun looked at his father.
In his impression, Mo Qian was always tall and majestic, unsmiling, and ruthless. He had heard from his brother that one of his father's subordinates had made a mistake, and his father had personally chopped off that person's head on the field.
He had first heard that he was too frightened to sleep that night. He thought back to what he had done that night. Don't let your father think of it and cut his head off too.
Since his birth, he had not been able to see his father for many days. Thus, his father was the marshal of the army in his impression of him. He had no other feelings for him than fear and respect.
It was only after they had been exiled from their families that they got to know each other every day. Now, he didn't think it was a bad thing for his father to be exiled. That was the only way he could be with his wife and children as a father and husband, and not be away from home for three or five years.
"Father, when will Big Brother be back?" Mo Jun asked.
Ever since Big Brother went to the Qingyang Pass entrance to write his documents, he had not been back for a single time today, so he was a little nostalgic.
"I probably won't be able to return until New Year's Day." Mo Qian said, "What, do you miss your brother?"
Mo Jun nodded.
"In two days, if we can still make it through, daddy will take you to see your brother, what do you think?"
"Alright!" Mo Jun said happily, "Mom made cotton clothes and cotton shoes for brother."
"Mm, bring it over to him."
As the father and son were talking, Mo Yin came out of the house and shouted at them, "Daddy, Big Brother, it's time to eat!"
Mo Qian straightened up and made a sound of agreement. Mo Jun also patted his hands on the snow, and Mo Qian brushed his hand across the top of Mo Jun's hat. "Come on, come in for dinner." We'll get it after we finish eating. "
The border is cold and the winter is cold, the days are hard, but the family is reunited.
After a few days, Mo Qian borrowed the old couple's oxcart and brought Mo Jun to the Qingyang Pass entrance.
It was the first time Mo Jun followed his father out of the house since he came here. The road was sparsely populated and the snow was white. There was no scenery, but he was filled with joy.
From afar, they saw the majestic Qingyang Pass standing tall under the blue sky. Once they passed that barrier, they would reach the limits of the North Hu. Now, North Hu and Dongyue were maintaining a temporary peace. There was a merchant shuttling back and forth between the entrances to trade.
Mo Qian drove the ox-cart and encountered a caravan that was heading towards them. The leader of the escort rode his horse and wore the fur to protect him from the cold. Behind him was the team of horses with bundles of animal skins tied to their backs. It looked like he was dealing in leather goods.
Mo Qian pulled the oxcart to the side and let the caravan pass first.
When the escort passed by, he immediately clasped his fists towards Mo Qian to express his thanks. Mo Qian also cupped his fists in thanks.
After quietly waiting for the train to finish, Mo Qian once again drove the ox-cart to the middle of the road.
Mo Jun turned his head and looked at the caravan that was getting further and further away. He said to his father, "Father, we can sell the rabbit skins we have at home."
Mo Qian smiled and said, "A few pieces of leather, there's no need."
"A penny is also money. Didn't they say that there would only be a small number of them? " Mo Jun said.
Mo Qian smiled and glanced at Mo Jun, "Your math is pretty good."
Mo Jun said, "Daddy, it's useless to keep the rabbit skins at home. How about you let me take them to the city to try to sell them?"
Mo Qian didn't expect the kid to be so persistent. He said, "Do you really want to go and try?"
"Yes." Mo Jun nodded solemnly.
