Chapter 376 8 Precious Yingluo
Xiaoqing made the bed and hung a clean handkerchief and diaper skirt beside it. "General, let the young lady come in and sleep."
The master still held on to it and refused to let go.
Deja vu.
Xiaoqing fell silent. At first, Master Ji didn't believe that the young lady couldn't hear anything. He held her tightly and refused to let go. He closed the door and didn't know what his wife said. When Master Ji came out, he burst into tears. Since then, he got up early every day for morning exercises, took a walk after dinner, and was very strict with his little daughter Lele, and kept her schoolwork tight...
Wangshu walked out from the inner room. She was wearing a silk nightgown with thin straps, which was fitting and delicate. The pink scar on her right shoulder could not be ignored, giving her a charming and tempered look.
The maidservant tactfully withdrew, and Wangshu turned the candle leaves, leaving only two candles flickering in the room. He walked past the man who was holding the doll in a daze, walked step by step to the bed, lay down, covered himself with the quilt, and closed his eyes.
"Shu Shu."
The man bent over and came over with the baby in his arms, "Will Xiao Si..."
"I don't know." Wangshu closed his eyes and interrupted his panicked words, shouting forcefully, "Put her down."
The sound is not small.
The little girl in his arms was sleeping soundly. Qin Xiuyuan, heartbroken, put the baby in the crib, spread a towel, pushed it to the side of the bed, then went close to Wangshu and touched her face. Sure enough, it was covered with tears.
He roared so loudly that his chest was straining, but the doll didn't react at all. At that moment, he was heartbroken, and she was only in more pain than him.
"Don't be sad, dear." He hugged her tightly, swallowing the sorrow that was about to burst out, "I will let her know that her father loves her very much, her mother loves her very much, and she can have a lot."
She woke up crying twice during the night. The man got up quickly to wipe her butt and change her diaper when he heard the sound. She was still weaning from her night milk. She spit out beef tendon and her little mouth moved in vain to suck, sucking, sucking. He held her and rocked her gently, but she was still hungry and waiting to be fed...
For fear of waking the woman, he carried her to the door. The wet nurse at the door waited for a while, then slowly fed her a few sips of water to trick her into crying. Only then did the crying stop and she gradually fell asleep.
"General, please take the young lady back." Seeing that the man was still trying to carry her back, with such a tall man curled up to hold such a tiny thing, the nurse advised him, "Madam, if you don't sleep well at night, you will have a headache during the day."
...After a while, "Wait."
The baby was sleeping in the crib and was carried back to Xiaosan. Xiaosan was crying loudly, grabbing the wet nurse with his little hands and opening his mouth to get closer. The wet nurse gave him water, but he spit it out directly...
Smart little guy.
Finally, I was exhausted from struggling, but I fell asleep unwillingly, biting the tendon.
Main house.
When he lay down again, the person next to him moved. He hugged him and asked, "Did you wake me up?"
"Go to sleep." Wangshu said these two words in a breath without opening his eyes.
Qin Xiuyuan held the person in his arms and stroked his back over and over again, as if he were stroking a baby. It was so gentle, so calming and comfortable that he felt drowsy. The person tried to muster up the last bit of strength to say something, but eventually fell into a deep sleep.
He stroked her hand steadily, his mind full of thoughts, and only closed his eyes when it was dawn.
It was cool in the morning. When they woke up, they realized it was past breakfast time. After going to the bathroom, they both fell asleep again.
Wangshu tried to sleep a little longer but still couldn't fall asleep, so he struggled to get up. The man's eyes hadn't even opened yet, but his hands and feet had already started to move on their own.
She was hugged back and asked to choose, "..."
Gritting his teeth, the man turned over and the two of them fell down, "~~I'm going out again..."
Poor guy, it's been less than ten days since he came back, and his wife has been ordering dishes for him, but she hasn't let him perform the dish he longed for the most.
Fortunately, he always has a trump card that can make people soften their hearts at the most critical moment.
Wangshu refused and urged him again, "No, hurry up..."
It was already daybreak, and the man didn't hesitate any longer. He unilaterally announced, "Then tonight."
Start work quickly.
Afterwards, the man cleaned himself up and found the quju suit that the woman had worn yesterday. "This one."
Her face was flushed with heat, so Wangshu had to carefully apply a layer of pearl powder, daub some lip rouge, and tie her hair into a high ponytail...
The man turned around and chose a new suit of light green Hufu with narrow sleeves and a large lapel and white grass pattern. "Then choose this one."
After putting it on, cinching the waist with a jade bead necklace, and looking in the full-length mirror, Wangshu was very satisfied.
As the two of them walked out, Qin Xiuyuan remembered, "There are two necklaces among the spoils this time. I'll bring them back this afternoon for you to see."
"What style?"
This is a large and luxurious piece of jewelry that is tied around the neck and hung in front of the chest. It is rarely worn by Wangshu, who is not a woman with small breasts, but it is very suitable for Mingxi.
"Long ones, in several shades of emerald green, blue, and red, with gold and silver flowers and pearls, strung together. They're both pretty much the same."
I lost interest after hearing it. "No. It sounds ugly."
...Of course it couldn't compare to what she had, which was why he didn't want it the first time.
Qin Xiuyuan insisted, "The Eight Treasures Necklace symbolizes infinite light in Buddhism. Take it and modify it, and give it to your daughter."
This is all superstition, it's not good. Mingxi has long been separated from "daughter" and is now his own daughter.
"How much blood and dirt it has on it, she can chew it in her mouth."
Disgusting, "...I'll take it and brush it and dry it in the sun."
……
Wangshu disagrees.
After breakfast, as he was watching him leave, he pointed out, "Stop talking about those legends."
She said her thing, he did his thing, and he pressed the man's collar and patted his back. "You'll be sweating soon, go home quickly."
Qin Ba, who was watching at the door: ...If he were a woman, he would also want to marry the boss.
Several people rode their horses all the way to the West Camp. The army had returned to the city for rest and recuperation for half a decade. The autumn harvest in the north was approaching, and the newly built irrigation canals had successfully diverted and stored water. The large area of forest land that had been cut down on the slope urgently needed to be reclaimed as wheat fields.
Zhang San, Ashina, several adjutants and many clerks were all there. They were responsible for collecting and burying the confiscations on the battlefield after the war, treating the wounded, counting the personnel, assigning merits, and distributing rewards and punishments... There was a lot of work to do.
"This humble general, Zhang San/Ashina/…pays homage to the great general!"
Qin Xiuyuan changed into light armor and sat down, "Get up, and quickly explain the specific situation and numbers in each place."
Qin Ba was taking notes nearby. He had been taught a new algorithm by Ji Shou at the academy and was an A-list student, ranked in the top three in both martial arts and algorithms.
Zhang San was the first to speak. "General, the military fields to the south and east of the city, and the eight hundred miles of barren forest and tree rootland to the northwest, have been confirmed to be planted with wheat by diverting water from Mount Li. The tillage must be completed within a month before the weather gets cold and the ground freezes. An additional five thousand men must be recruited."
Although life on the front line was tough, logistical support was even more difficult. One had to defend the city with all one's might while also cutting wood, building palaces, making weapons, digging canals, and working in the fields. The field work alone involved diverting water for irrigation, harvesting when ripe, drying grain on land, winnowing grain into storage, bagging it for transportation, and gathering stalks and seedlings to make mats... a whole host of other tasks.
Zhang San had not only become thinner but also darker, becoming more and more capable. Ashina listened to him clearly explain each item from beginning to end, and suddenly became nervous. Zhang San's mouth became more and more talkative! He glanced at several adjutants and signaled them to speak better!
