When Uncle Hong came back to feed the sheep, Yang Haiyan and the others set off.
Along with him was Aunt Hong. Uncle Hong took the child and went to the county seat with aunt Hong to accompany Yang Haiyan. The child was handed over to Uncle Hong. Between Aunt Hong and Aunt Fan, both of them do things neatly but Aunt Hong is not as convenient as Aunt Fan when it comes to looking after the shop with her children and since Aunt Hong is a local, it is more appropriate to go to the county seat.
Although Qiguo uses the common language, the language in each place is the same but the accent is different. When she was away from home, the local accent still has an advantage over the foreign accent.
The county seat is much more prosperous than the town, not only prosperous but also quite rigorous when entering the county seat. Because the county seat is an important frontier, if the military camp is the first line,then the defense of the county seat is the second line and there are special generals guarding the city. Therefore, the county seat here is also different from the county seat in other places.
In other places, the county master is the emperor of the earth and the local snake, but here, the county master is really nothing.
The Marquis of Yonghe was the local emperor of the county, and there were other generals, each of whom was better than the county master.
At the gate of the county, everyone must have an identity document to enter. In fact, there are many shortcomings in the ancient identity documents, just like the letters of introduction in China in the 1960s and 1970s before Yang Haiyan's journey. Even if the identity documents are real, how can you prove that the identity documents correspond to this person?
But this is unavoidable, there is no way.
Yang Dahua and Yang Haiyan are military members, so it is convenient for them to enter the county. After entering the county seat, Uncle Hong found a place to park the donkey cart. Yang Haiyan and the others got off the donkey cart: "Sister Dahua, we are going to separate here. Let's go shopping and come back at the beginning of the afternoon (1:00 p.m.). If you come back first, please wait for us in the donkey cart. In a while."
She was going to eat at a restaurant in the county town and try the dishes there.
Yang Dahua: "Hey, good."
Next, they separated, Yang Dahua went to set up a stall and Yang Haiyan took Aunt Hong around. Speaking of which, Aunt Hong led the way.
The first time Aunt Hong came to the county seat was when she and Uncle Hong first got married. At that time, Uncle Hong's legs were not injured so after they got married, Uncle Hong brought her to the county seat to gain insight, especially Uncle Hong's game in order to sell for a good price, will also be sent to restaurants in the county town. Therefore, Aunt Hong was fairly familiar with the county seat.
Yang Haiyan: "Aunt Hong, let's go to the busiest street first."
Aunt Hong: "The most lively place in the morning is the vegetable market. Let's go to the vegetable market first?"
Yang Haiyan: "Okay, you lead the way."
Aunt Hong: "Yes." While leading the way, Aunt Hong hesitated for a while, but then asked, "Madam, do we want to build a cellar in the backyard of our dim sum shop?"
Yang Haiyan: "The cellar?"
Aunt Hong: "Yes, it's already the first ten days of October. By mid-November, the weather at the border will become colder rapidly. Not to mention the dry weather, sometimes there will be storms, sandstorms and hail, and it will also snow.I'm afraid it won't work for four or five days. This kind of weather will last for two months. During these two months, the food market will be empty and the shops on the street will not be open. So every people will have a cellar.
The food, vegetables and meat stored in it."
After Aunt Hong said this, Yang Haiyan remembered that there was indeed such a plot in the novel. For the locals, such days have become accustomed to it and it will pass after a long time. But for the heroine Yang Dahua, it was quite difficult. Although she was a rough maid in Yang Mansion, the capital is the richest and most prosperous place in the country so Yang Dahua did not suffer in Yang Mansion but when she came here and was not fully prepared beforehand ,she suffered.
At the same time, she was also pregnant and her body's nutrition could not keep up. For this reason, the male protagonist went into the mountains to hunt game to replenish her body and the relationship between the two people sublimated very quickly at this time. All in all, this is a little sweet article.
In fact, after reading the book, Yang Haiyan seldom thinks about the plot in the novel because the plot of the hero and heroine has nothing to do with Qin Fang and the plot of Qin Fang has changed . She has no intention of taking the opportunity of the heroine so she does not need to Think back to the novel from time to time.
However, the cellar does have to be prepared.
Yang Haiyan: "Can Uncle Hong dig cellars?"
Aunt Hong: "Yes, yes, he dug the cellar of our family in the past, but now... we have lost our home. He injured his foot and I suffered when I gave birth to a child, so the home was sold. Without money, he went to sell himself."
Yang Haiyan was taken aback, she didn't know this and Uncle Hong didn't say in detail, "Then after he sold himself, where will you live with your child?"
Aunt Hong: "I live in a haunted house in the village and no one lives in the haunted house so I live in it and no one will drive me away."
Thinking of it, although her life was hard and her parents were unkind, she would rather her husband sell himself than they'll help her, but now they had work and they met such a good wife.
Yang Haiyan didn't know what to say except sighing.
The vegetable market in the county town is indeed more lively than the vegetable market in the town and there are more varieties. In the town, in addition to vegetables, there is meat, and occasionally fish can be seen. But this county is different, vegetables and meat are not bad but seafood and river fresh are different, there are many small stalls selling river fresh here.
There is no sea in Yongzhou, only a river, a very long river. There are fishermen by the river who specialize in catching fish for a living, so there are many fresh rivers in this vegetable farm.
Yang Haiyan was from southern China before she wore a book. She grew up in an island city in the south, so her favorite is seafood, freshly braised or marinated, she likes both.
Seeing a lot of fresh fish at the moment, Yang Haiyan's eyes lit up. The small river prawns in that stall and the yellow croaker here... a lot.
Yang Haiyan: "Aunt Hong, how come there are so many fresh fish?"
Aunt Hong: "Because the winter is coming, the fishermen have to exchange a lot of money for vegetables and meat. The fishermen don't have fields, so they buy all their food and vegetables."
Yang Haiyan: "So it is."
They walked to the stall of Xiaohe Shrimp and Yang Haiyan asked, "Boss, how do you sell this Xiaohe Shrimp?"
The owner of Xiaohe Shrimp: "4 cents a catty, 7 cents two catties."
Yang Haiyan was shocked, wouldn't this be too cheap? Although more expensive than vegetables, it is much cheaper than meat. In fact, Yang Haiyan didn't know that the people here didn't like to eat small river prawns because they were too small, not to mention the meat, and one pound could not fill their stomachs. For ordinary people, it is better to buy two meat buns for 4 cents to buy a pound of small river prawns, which are troublesome to eat. So, small river prawns are not worth the money.
Yang Haiyan: "How much is your bucket and how do you sell it?"
The owner of Xiaohe Shrimp was stunned: "Do you want a bucket?"
Yang Haiyan: "If the price is right, I'll ask for more." The small river prawns can be dried in the sun, can be made into drunken shrimp, can be made into wine-stuffed shrimp and all kinds of meals, she feels a little greedy just thinking about it.
The owner of Xiaohe Shrimp was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "My bucket of Xiaohe Shrimp is 30 pounds. If you want it, I will give you 90 cents. This is the lowest price, and it can't be lower."
Yang Haiyan felt that the price was cheap and the fishermen had a hard time going out of the river. Within her own economic scope, she didn't bargain: "Then I want it, but you have to lend me this wooden barrel to hold the small river shrimp, I live in the town. So there is no wooden bucket for the small river prawns on me at the moment."
The owner of Xiaohe Shrimp: "Sure, do you see the shop over there? Hexianpu, that is the shop in our fishing village. You can just return the wooden barrel there."
Yang Haiyan: "Okay, thank you."
After saying that, she turned to Aunt Hong and said, "You carry the shrimp to the donkey cart and I will wait for you at the vegetable farm."
Aunt Hong: "Hey, good." Aunt Hong is the daughter of a poor family. When she was a girl, she did a lot of work, so she was very strong. Now she follow Yang Haiyan to do things, she can drink goat milk and eat meat dishes every day, so her body is recovering very well and there is no problem in carrying the 30-pound small river shrimp.
"Then I'm going, madam, please be careful."
Yang Haiyan nodded.
The small river shrimp stall is full of fresh river fish. After buying the small river shrimp, Yang Haiyan went to see the yellow croaker again. This yellow croaker is different from the yellow croaker that everyone thinks. This is the yellow croaker in the river, also called the yellow croaker. It is different from the big yellow croaker and the small yellow croaker in the sea. Huang Gazi is very delicious whether it is braised or put in tofu soup.
Yang Haiyan: "How do you sell this Huang Gazi?"
The fish seller knew Yang Haiyan was an insider as soon as he heard it: "It doesn't weigh two pounds, 3 cents a piece, you can choose the size." The fish seller and the Xiaohe shrimp owner are both from the same place. He set up a stall to sell things according to the type and just now he saw that Yang Haiyan had contracted all the small river prawns, so he said again, "Madam, you sell all of them and I will give you a little cheaper."
Yang Haiyan shook her head, this yellow gazi is not very delicious when dried in the sun. If it is a large yellow croaker, it will taste good, so she just wants to drink it in soup, but Huang gazi is a freshwater fish, so it will be fine to keep it for a few days. . So Yang Haiyan said, "I'll buy 10 of them, can you provide the wooden barrels for the fish? I'll Come and return them tomorrow. If you can, help me catch ten big ones."
The fish seller also simply said: "Okay, when you come and return it, put it in the river fresh shop over there." After saying that, he grabbed ten large ones and put them in a small wooden bucket and then covered it with a wooden bucket lid.
When Aunt Hong came back, she had to bring these ten fish back.
Next, Yang Haiyan bought river clams and yellow brows. Compared with Huang Gazi, Huang brows are dead and they can be cooked and eaten when they go back in the evening. The yellow brow is smaller than the small yellow croaker and looks very similar, about the size of Yang Haiyan's two widths. This fish is very delicious when steamed and can be dried in the sun. If it is braised for a long time, the meat will be broken because its bones are very soft. Yes, some people eat this and swallow their bones.
Besides seafood, Yang Haiyan didn't buy anything else, because vegetables and meat are also available in the town. After walking all over the vegetable market, Yang Haiyan felt a pity that she didn't see any fruit. Then they went to shop again and went to one of the fur shops. Yang Haiyan heard Aunt Hong say that the winter here will be cold and the weather will not be very good for two consecutive months, so she thinks about padded jackets, down jackets, and furs.
Down jackets are impractical, but fur is. But after seeing the fur in the shop, she was no longer interested. The ancient fur was so rough that she felt unhygienic when wearing it.
However, the fur is excellent for boots. Moreover, he can also make a coat for Qin Fang. From home to the military camp, he can wrap it up and keep him warm.
After thinking about it, she bought some wool furs that were fairly manageable and easy to take care of. The wool and fur were brought from the prairie merchants outside the customs. The prairie merchants have special methods for dealing with furs. A piece of skin looks bright and complete. Yang Haiyan did the math and bought two skins.
After that, there was nothing she liked.
But after walking around all morning, she was almost tired. She found a restaurant and had lunch with Aunt Hong in the restaurant. While waiting for the restaurant to serve food, she asked Aunt Hong to deliver a bowl of noodles to Uncle Hong.
After a good meal, Yang Haiyan took Aunt Hong to the jewelry store for the purpose of digestion.
The jewelry store is called Zhenbao Pavilion, which is the best jewelry store in the county. When the shopkeeper saw a guest coming, he approached enthusiastically: "Hello, madam, what would you like to buy?"
Yang Haiyan looked around: "Is there any jade ornaments? I like jade bracelets ."
Better change hands on the platform and make a fortune. Wow, Yang Haiyan suddenly found another way to make money.
When the shopkeeper heard this, his eyes lit up: "Yes, yes, please, please, the jade ornaments of our treasure pavilion are all here, the guest, your wrist is relatively thin and the circle is small. There are five styles that match your circle. Let's see which one you like." Of course, if you count the cheap ones, there are not only these five, but the customer just said that it is better.
Yang Haiyan knew a little about jade. In her previous life, a little girl of her age could make money. She made more money. Of course, she also had requirements for life taste. People bought famous brands, Cartier watches, Chanel bags, etc. but, she likes jade bracelets. She once picked up a glass bracelet and spent 790,000 yuan. Once, she went to play with a friend. When she was visiting the jade store, a customer in the jade store came up with one million to buy it. It has to be said that on jade bracelets, it is very rare to be able to buy suitable rings and desired quality.
Seeing that Yang Haiyan's eyes stopped on two of them, the shopkeeper said, "Both are suitable for the wife. The wife has a serene orchid temperament. Wearing this one looks quiet and restrained, while wearing this one is gorgeous and rich." Although Yang Haiyan's clothes are not made of fine materials, that is, fine cotton, but in terms of human temperament, it is the first. Even if she doesn't have accessories on her body, this temperament is appropriate.
Yang Haiyan smiled: "Hetian jade is in line with cultural heritage. The jadeite of this glass species is transparent and clear. The two are really good. Let me see it" In fact, Yang Haiyan likes both, but Hetian jade is a royal concubine bracelet... a royal concubine bracelet Drop in price in the modern market.
Shopkeeper: "Please."
Yang Haiyan stretched out her hand and brought Hetian Yu's first. After taking it, the whole person looked different, the temperament became warmer and the person appeared more connotative. Then, she changed to this one of the glass species. Suddenly, the whole person looked noble and aura, which was completely different from just now.
Shopkeeper: "Both are suitable for you."
Yang Haiyan: "How do you sell if you want both?"
When the shopkeeper heard it, ah yo, this is a big guest: "Hetian jade's 800 taels of silver, this one is slightly more expensive, 1,200 taels of silver."
Aunt Hong listened to it, she didn't dare to breathe, this price really killed her.
Yang Haiyan looked around again, she walked to the hairpin and picked out a golden hairpin for a woman and a black crown for a man. The style of women's hairpins is very simple. There is only one hairpin, with an empty golden ball on top of the hairpin and a white pearl inside the golden ball. The men's hair crown is similar, with a black jade circle and a black hosta.
Qin Fang is tall and tall, with stern and tough facial features. Compared with white, which is suitable for a bandit gentleman, the calmness of black is more suitable for him.
Yang Haiyan: "I won't repay the price, plus these two, two thousand taels of silver."
The shopkeeper said, "It's done." They don't bargain at the Treasure Pavilion when they do business, but even though they don't bargain, the business depends on flexibility. However, this wife also has a vicious eye. The two bracelets she chose were made of very good materials. They were all embryos sent from outside the customs and then polished in the customs. If they were sent to the capital, the price could be increased.
Yang Haiyan: "I don't have so much money with me, can you send someone to fetch it at home with me?"
Shopkeeper: "But I don't know where the mansion is?"
Yang Haiyan: "In the family room of the military camp."
Shopkeeper: "No problem."
In Yongzhou, there is only one family room in the military camp.
After buying these two, Yang Haiyan went back and spent 2,000 taels. She was in a very good mood. Because she knows that she can make more money by putting this thing on the platform.
2,000 taels of silver = 500,000 platform coins = about 30 taels of gold, and the price of two bracelets on the platform is definitely more than 1 million, so it's a decent profit.
Yang Haiyan put on the Hetian jade bracelet in the Treasure Pavilion and the shopkeeper packed the rest and then took the people from the Treasure Pavilion to leave.
On the donkey cart, Yang Dahua was already there. When she saw Yang Haiyan back, she happily said, "Haiyan, you bought a lot of things." She felt a little inferior in her heart. She was still working hard for a few pennies, but Yang Haiyan spent it in a blink of an eye. A few taels of silver. Isn't the wool and fur on the donkey cart just a few taels of silver?
Yang Haiyan smiled and said, "I'm back, are you in hurry?..."
Yang Dahua: "No rush, no rush. Haiyan, I want some small cakes and biscuits tomorrow, okay?"
Today's business is good, two catties of small cakes and two catties of small biscuits have been sold, it makes more money than selling handkerchiefs. If the approval is a little more and it comes every two or three days, then a tael of silver a month is not a problem.
Yang Haiyan: "Of course there is no problem."
The fresh seafood is placed outside, the ladies sit inside, Uncle Hong drives the donkey cart in front and the people from Zhenbao Pavilion stand behind the carriage. Because of this, Yang Dahua did not know that there were people from the Treasure Pavilion behind.
When they got to the family room, Yang Dahua got off the donkey cart first, because her family and Yang Haiyan's family were not in the same place. That is, she got off the donkey cart and saw the stopped carriage behind her, but she didn't think much about it. When the donkey cart arrived directly at the door of Yang Haiyan's house, Uncle Hong and Aunt Hong began to unload the goods. Yang Haiyan entered the study and began to trade on the platform. She sold 30 taels of gold for 510,000 platform coins, and then used 500,000 platform coins to buy two A thousand taels of silver. There are about 19,000 platform coins left on the platform, plus 468 taels of gold.
After buying the silver, Yang Haiyan asked the people from Zhenbao Pavilion to move it. After the people from Zhenbao Pavilion took the silver and took the wooden barrels of Hexian to Hexian Shop, she put the glass bracelet that she didn't bring on the platform and checked it. The selling price was worth 1.09 million platform coins. Yang Haiyan did not sell it, but placed a high price and kept it inside. After all, this is something she likes, and she doesn't want to sell it unless she has to.
Aunt Hong: "Ma'am, all the things have been moved down. Do you need to deal with them?"
Yang Haiyan came out of the study: "Let Aunt Fan handle it. You and Uncle Hong should go back to the shop and change shifts with Aunt Fan and wait for Uncle Hong to dig the cellar tomorrow."
Aunt Hong: "Okay."
As soon as Uncle Hong and Aunt Hong left, Sister-in-law Lu came over: "Haiyan, what did you buy in the county?" This was not an inquiry, but a chat among neighbors.
Yang Haiyan: "I bought some small river prawns and fish. The small river prawns are very fresh. The shredded radish soup is especially delicious. My sister-in-law will come and get a bowl."
Sister-in-law Lu: "No, no."
Yang Haiyan knew what Sister Lu was thinking and explained with a smile: "This small river prawn is cheap, only two cents a pound. It's not an expensive prawn. If my sister-in-law feels bad, just go back and visit my dim sum shop more." She went into the house and got a bowl, and grabbed a bowl of small river shrimp for Sister-in-law Lu. It's a bargain indeed not uncommon. If the prawn is expensive, even if she is willing to give it away, she will not give it away, lest others think she is a big spender.
Seeing that Yang Haiyan was so polite, Sister-in-law Lu didn't refuse and she made up her mind to go to the store to buy more snacks tomorrow. Sister Lu had just picked up the shrimps when Mother Zhang came over next door: "Qin Fang's house, you bought a lot of things." She had been listening next door, listening to Yang Haiyan giving Sister Lu the small river shrimp, so she came over and also want to take advantage of it.
For such a person who likes to take advantage, Yang Haiyan would not rush to deliver things, she said: "It's not a rare thing. By the way, Auntie, I heard Aunt Fan say that you forgot to bring money after you bought snacks yesterday. ?" She asked in a soft voice, with a very good attitude, which also gave Mother Zhang face.
She had already seen Mother Zhang clearly and as soon as she heard it, she knew that Mother Zhang wanted to take advantage of it and didn't give the money. Tell her to say that Haiyan is too much for her, and if it is her, she will directly expose it. To know the 65 cents of her wild boar, she begged it three times a day.
As soon as Mother Zhang heard her talk about this and saw Sister Lu being there, she also said with great respect: "No, I don't want to buy it without the money, but your servant is too polite, so I have to buy it. , wait, I'll get the money." Then he ran back to his yard.
Mother Zhang loves face, but she doesn't know that her face has long been lost among the neighbors.
Sister-in-law Lu: "I just don't know how long she will take the money."
Yang Haiyan: "I'll just mention it every time I see it."
Sister-in-law Lu thought to herself, Haiyan seems to be very soft but she is actually very thoughtful. She came from a big family, where would it be a soft and easy-to-handle character? "By the way, I forgot to tell you something. This winter is here and the winter environment here is very poor... So I ask you, do you want to stock up on food? We are familiar with the old farmers in the countryside. Cabbage and radishes have been ordered for several years, and I am familiar with them, and the prices are cheaper than those outside."
Yang Haiyan: "Yes, the servants in the family also mentioned this to me today and I will have people dig a cellar tomorrow. How many kilograms of cabbage and radishes should be ordered in a winter?"
Sister-in-law Lu: "It will take about two months, you can decide."
Yang Haiyan figured it out. They have a lot of family members. They want 4 catties of cabbage and 4 catties of radishes a day. They also need radishes in winter, so it takes 60 days in two months: "I want 240 catties of cabbage and 240 catties of radishes."
Sister-in-law Lu: "Then I'll write it down for you."
Yang Haiyan: "Okay, how much money do these cost?"
Sister-in-law Lu: "The vegetables here are a little more expensive in winter. The cabbage and radishes are two cents per catty each. You have a total of 480 catties and you have to ask for 960 cents." In normal times, you don't need a penny or a catty.
Yang Haiyan: "I'll go get the money."
Sister-in-law Lu: "No, I'll give you the money when the items are delivered. The cabbage and radishes are not worrying about selling, so we have to report the number in advance."
Yang Haiyan said gratefully: "Thank you, sister-in-law. I don't understand this, thanks to my sister-in-law for reminding me."
Sister-in-law Lu: "Where is it?"
While the two of them were talking, Aunt Fan came. Sister Lu saw this and went back. Aunt Fan arranged for them at home.
Yang Dahua was washing things when she saw Yang Haiyan coming. She was a little surprised. After all, they separated: "Haiyan, why are you here?"
Yang Haiyan told her about the winter situation here: "... I ordered 240 pounds of cabbage and radishes each with Sister Lu, totaling 480 pounds. If you want, you have to say hello to Sister Lu."
Yang Dahua: "I really don't know about this. I'll tell Sister Lu now."
Yang Haiyan smiled , thinking that in the novel, she would be pregnant in winter and added: "It's better to prepare some meat, otherwise we will eat cabbage and radish for two months, even if we women don't do things at home, we can not replenish our bodies, but men at the barracks can be very tiring, so they have to replenish their body."
She might be reluctant to ask Yang Dahua to prepare some meat for herself, but she would be willing to ask Yang Dahua to prepare some meat for Han Zhen. This is a common problem of ancient women. Except for those who think about themselves, 90% of women regard their husband as their god.
But that's fine. When she said that she was going to preparing meat for Han Zhen, why would Han Zhen eat alone without giving some for Yang Danhua.
While the two were chatting, Yang Haiyan arrived home and Yang Dahua went to Sister Lu to order cabbage and radishes.
Barracks..
"Report... The court's order and the Ministry of War documents have arrived."
Yonghe Hou Shizi was handling military affairs in the commander's tent and when he heard the sound of the report, he said, "Come in." He knew without looking at the court's mandate that it was about Aoqianfu's promotion. Starting today, Aoqianfu is the fifth grade Guerrilla General.
Yonghe Hou Shizi said, "Call General Ao to my tent."
"Yes."
After a while, General Ao came: "Sir."
Yonghe Hou Shizi: "The imperial court's order has come and the emperor personally ordered it. From today, I should call you General Ao."
General Ao was overjoyed and hurriedly knelt down on one knee: "It's all about the cultivation of the prince."
Yonghe Hou Shizi: "Don't be too polite, get up. The selection of the commander can also start. After Qin Fang becomes the commander, bring him to see me."
General Ao: "Yes."
Qin Fang and others were very happy after hearing that General Ao's promotion was appointed. There are two reasons to be happy. One is that their team has no commander, so they must be selected, so all ten of them have a chance.
Second, the ten thousand commanders are from their former thousand commanders and they will definitely pay more attention to their team. This is clear to everyone. So can they be upset?
General Ao looked at the subordinates who said congratulations to him and he was also happy: "Okay, everyone, be quiet, this general has the something to say, which is about the selection of the commander in this thousand-person team. ."
As soon as everyone heard it, they immediately became quiet. In the past, the selection of thousands of captains was all promoted by the previous thousands of captains, or that thousands of captains promoted several candidates. They don't know who General Ao will choose this time.
Qin Fang was particularly excited. He didn't expect General Ao to be promoted and his opportunity came so quickly. But he was also nervous. He didn't know who General Ao would choose among the ten of them. In fact, Qin Fang felt a little bit. General Ao usually took care of him and promoted him and he felt that he was possible. But this is only a little thought in his heart and he does not have full confidence.
General Ao continued: "The candidates for the thousands of commanders are selected from ten of you. As for the selection method, it is also very simple. In the past, it was directly designated by the superior, but this time it is different. The selection will be conducted by competition. Among the ten of you, who is in the competition? When the ranking is first, then whoever is the captain, the selection date will be three days later."
Hearing the selection of the competition, eight of the ten centurions present became discouraged. They all knew that they had no hope and the most promising were Qin Fang and Han Zhen. As for who can win the first place between these two people, everyone has no idea in their hearts. After all, they haven't really fought and judging from their usual performance, they are all daring people.
In fact, after hearing General Ao's words, Qin Fang and Han Zhen also had a bottom line in their hearts. They both knew that among the ten of them, only each other was each other's opponents. Han Zhen and Qin Fang looked at each other with determination not to admit defeat.
However, although it is a battle of thousands of commanders, no matter who wins or loses, it will not affect their friendship. After all, they came out of that small village together, so as long as they are still in the military camp, they should take care of each other.
After get off work, Qin Fang came home, still thinking about the competition.
Seeing his absent-mindedness, Yang Haiyan asked with concern: "Xiang Gong, what are you thinking? I see you happy for a while and frowning again, is there something on your mind?"
Qin Fang didn't hide it and said frankly: "Today, the imperial court has come to Ao Qianfu... General Ao's order document, he has been conferred by the emperor as a five-rank guerrilla general from the Qianfu commander."
Yang Haiyan paused: "Then what about the position he vacated? Who was promoted?" In the novel, it was selected by competition.
Qin Fang: "Selection by martial arts. Ten centurions of our team compete by martial arts, but others are not to be afraid of. My biggest opponent is Han Zhen." Qin Fang's tone was full of confidence, "Yanyan, I will do my best, Trying to make you the commander's wife."
Yang Haiyan listened and looked at Qin Fang with adoring eyes: "My husband is the most powerful."
Looking at his daughter-in-law's sparkling eyes, Qin's determination became stronger. He hoped that she would always look at him like this and that she would always have only himself in her eyes. Thinking of this, he was stunned for a moment. Since when did he hope that her eyes would always only be his own?
Probably from when she brought food for herself on the first day. She stood so delicately at the back door of the military camp and looked at herself. At that time, he felt that she was extremely weak, as if she would fall ill if she was not careful.
Or maybe it started from the fact that she delivered meals to herself again and again. She was the only sunshine in her five-year military service career. It is the only motivation other than relatives.
Or, from the time she spoke softly about their children, she started talking about their children.
In short, Qin Fang didn't know. But he can be sure that he is willing to work hard for this woman.
Qin Fang's eyes softened when he looked at her and the possessive eyes were a little different from before. In the past, he looked at her with respect, admiration, and pride, but it was not like a man looking at a woman with a predatory look. And at this moment, the way he looked at her was aggressive.
Yang Haiyan's heart beat a little faster, she couldn't help but glared at him: "Xiang Gong, why are you looking at me like this? Is there anything on my face?"
Qin felt relieved, her coquettish voice softened to his bones. He couldn't help swallowing: "No."
Yang Haiyan chuckled: "Xianggong, if you get the first place and become the commander of thousands, I will give you a gift."
Qin Fang's eyes lit up: "Really? What gift?"
Yang Haiyan said arrogantly, "I can't tell you, I won't be surprised if I tell you."
Looking at her small appearance, Qin Fang felt itchy, but he didn't force it. Compared with forcing her to tell him now, he was more satisfied that he won the first place and she was giving it to himself: "Then I'll wait."
Yang Haiyan hummed, then stretched out her left hand: "Master, I bought a bracelet today, do you like it?"
Qin Fang looked at her slender wrist with a full-colored jade bracelet. He didn't know whether it was good or bad, but he felt that everything his daughter-in-law wore was beautiful, so he couldn't help saying, "It's beautiful."
Yang Haiyan: "I bought two bracelets like this for two thousand taels."
When Qin Fang heard it, he was so frightened that he almost couldn't swallow the food: "It's so expensive? ... It must be excellent." But this is his wife's money and she can buy whatever she likes. For this reason, Qin rested assured that one day, he would use his own money to buy her favorite gifts and take them with her.
Yang Haiyan: "I saw a bracelet made of this material when I was in Yang Mansion. This bracelet is very valuable, which means that even if you are short of money in the future, you will not lose money by blocking this bracelet. Moreover, even if you are not short of money, the next generation will not lose money. It can be passed on from generation to generation."
Qin Fang: "It's fine for you to call the shots." Ashamed, he hasn't bought anything for his daughter-in-law yet. Thinking about the purse on the body, there is only 300 wen in it and he can't buy good things for his wife. However... Qin Fang's eyes flashed, and he had an idea in his heart.
