The Chu family's army now has more than 30,000 people, close to 40,000, and they are all near Youzhou. Today, all the young generals followed Wei Dabin, and Nie Cimeng came to meet the couple. one side.
In the past, Chu Lixuan and his wife almost always sent them food. This time they were closer, so they all made an appointment to come and see their father.
While Chu Lixuan was discussing things with his subordinates, Jiang Xinyan went to teach Chu Nuo and the others how to cook delicious food. Since there were guests today, Jiang Xinyan taught them how to make spicy and sour shredded pork.
In this world of ice and snow, and lack of food and clothing, pork is the best dish!
Last time Jiang Xinyan showed off her cooking skills at the Chu Family Army and conquered the men of the Huotou Army.
Hao Baorong and his grandnephew Hao Shengkun also came over to share the meal. They seemed to be very close to Jiang Xinyan.
As soon as he came, he followed Jiang Xinyan and listened to her story. Hao Shengkun was still afraid that Jiang Xinyan would be cold, so he lit a fire in the snow next to where he was cooking.
When Chu Lixuan saw the two people who were courting his little wife, he was secretly thinking of a way to stop anyone who wanted to take advantage of her.
No matter how slow Chu Lixuan was about feelings, he knew that Hao Shengkun had no other intentions for his little wife, and he just treated her like his own sister.
Maybe better than the average biological sister! Because Chu Lixuan is not close to his biological sister, no different from others.
It was impossible for Chu Lixuan to leave a few generals behind and go to the cooking place to guard his young wife. He still had many things to tell Nie Cimeng and Wei Dabin!
Nie Cimeng and others were almost done talking about things. Chu Lixuan quickly left a few generals and military advisors behind, and he hurried to find Jiang Xinyan.
"Is Xinxin cold? Just let them do it themselves. What if it's freezing in the ice and snow?" Chu Lixuan stepped forward and took his little wife's hand and rubbed it.
Chu Nuo, Chu Hua and the others: ...It sounds like they are made of iron and are not afraid of the cold.
Is this really their eldest brother (cousin)?
As long as Chu Lixiang's eldest brother is not by his sister-in-law's side, then he must be by Jiang Xinyan's side. "Brother, we wash the dishes." The eldest sister-in-law uses a spatula to stir-fry. Why is it cold?
However, he was too smart not to say it. Their children also practiced Qigong every day, so they were really not cold.
It's also possible that my sister-in-law was so excited by her story that she didn't even remember that they were washing vegetables and cooking in the snow.
Song Mingjiang and Chu Lizheng are also helping to wash vegetables. Today is pork ribs stewed in radish soup, braised pork, hot and sour shredded pork, and sour radish made by my sister-in-law.
It was freezing and snowing, and they didn't know where their elder brother got the pork, radishes, mushrooms and cabbage.
The others were weaving bamboo baskets as soon as they stopped. Jiang Xinyan wanted a lot of bamboo baskets to hold potatoes to distribute to the Chu family army.
As a couple, the potatoes grown in the space have matured for one season and produced hundreds of thousands of kilograms. However, they have to feed nearly 40,000 people in the Chu family army and consume 20,000 kilograms of potatoes a day.
"Yan'er, you're cold! Then come over and warm yourself by the fire, my uncle has built a fire."
It's not that Hao Baorong didn't wink, but it was because he finally saw Jiang Xinyan and wanted to say a few more words to her.
When Chu Lixuan didn't come, Jiang Xinyan kept telling stories. After telling a story, she had to discuss medical skills with Hao Shengkun. Hao Baorong just listened.
"Okay! Brother Xiang, Brother Zheng and Xiao Mingjiang, after your work is done, let's warm ourselves by the fire together."
Although Chu Lixuan was not happy, his wife was happy, and it didn't matter as long as he stayed by her side. .
Everyone gathered around the fire, talking and waiting for the dishes to be cooked before eating.
While everyone was resting, Nie Cinan and Wei Lubin greeted their cousin respectively, "First cousin, long time no see."
Nie Cimeng saw his third uncle's eldest son, "Cinan? Why are you here? ?"
"Brother, we were originally ordered by the commander-in-chief to follow the Marquis of Zhennan, but then the city gate was closed..." Nie Cinan didn't know how to say it more clearly.
"I know, that's good. Your cousin, I was beaten to the point of paralysis by someone named Lu. It was me and my wife who saved me."
Nie Cimeng was very good at observing people's words. He knew as soon as he heard that his cousin had followed their father. , this is very good.
"I have written to my grandfather explaining everything. My grandfather's reply is here. You should also read it."
Nie Cinan took the letter and read it carefully.
Wei Lubin also excitedly called to his cousin: "Brother Dabin, are you okay?"
"I was not good before. I also had my hamstring broken by a man named Lu, and was kicked out of the military camp. I almost starved to death.
"Brother Dabin, have you written to your uncle? I didn't write back, and I lost contact with my family!" "
I did, and I received a reply from my father, and my second uncle also wrote to me." , I want to look for you and see if I can find you! People in the capital say you are starving to death on the way."
"We dare not reply. In the past few days, our Zhao Qianhu family has received several urgent carrier pigeons in succession. Your Majesty, two of the carrier pigeons were sent by our Lord Commander, but we didn't reply."
"Master and Madam, do you know?"
"Yes, Madam roasted the carrier pigeons!"
"Haha! She is so willful."
Wei Lubin looked at the best cousin of their Wei family with a smile on his face, and it was hard to believe that he was a cripple two months ago.
"Brother Dabin, has your hamstring really been broken?"
"Hey! Is there any money for lying to you?"
"No."
"That's it. Why should I lie to you? Your commander will personally send you a carrier pigeon?"
"Well! Ask us if we are still alive, and if the Marquis of Zhennan is Alive..."
"Your Jin Yiwei people haven't contacted you before?"
"A few days before we set off on the road, we received a letter from the inspector. When we learned that Zhennan Marquis was half dead, we recalled the people who were following him secretly. Go, leaving the five of us to continue following."
Seeing that his cousin was listening seriously, Wei Lubin continued: "Later, the locust plague came, and one of our brothers was killed by a wild boar while we were looking for prey. Madam saved him. " Is she
more powerful than you, Zhao Qianhu?"
"
She is only fifteen, and you, Zhao Qianhu, are already twenty-one, but she is even more powerful!" If you kill them, they will definitely be powerful.
"I don't know the specific situation. At that time, we were following Mr. Zhao and were chased by several wild boars to escape. It was Feng Jianzhi who took his wife up the mountain."
Wei Lubin recalled and continued: "Their officers were frightened by the wild boars. The madam fled, shocking the wild boars, and then she killed three of them at once.
"Do you think she is particularly lucky?"
"..." Isn't it luck?
