Lu Baifu was puzzle. As Qin Fang's neighbor, he knew that this guy was afraid of internal affairs. He is obedient to turned over his salary every month. But he didn't ask: "Okay, I know, I won't say anything."
Han Zhen replied, "Don't tell me too." His wife didn't want him to go hunting, because she was afraid that he would be in danger, so he couldn't let her know, otherwise the pregnant woman would be angry.
Lu Baifu and Yang Baifu looked at each other. Yang Baifu understood, "Are you trying to hide your private money ?" Otherwise, there is no other explanation.
Han Zhen snorted: "Am I this kind of person?" When his wife was working hard all day, he had already given all the money he had saved to his wife and now there is no money left.
It's just that Han Zhen said this, but Qin Fang next to him hummed.
Omg. Immediately looked at Qin Fang with incredible eyes, meaning, are you serious?
Not to mention Han Zhen, even Yang Baifu and Lu Baifu also looked at Qin Fang. Yang Haiyan is very famous in the family room in the area of Baifu District. First of all, it is famous for the suicide incident of taking poison on the wedding night; secondly, because of Yang Haiyan's money-making .
Therefore, the ladies in the Baifu District are very envious of Yang Haiyan but there is nothing they can do. They don't have the money to open a shop and even if they open a shop, they don't have Yang Haiyan's craftsmanship.
Han Zhen then shouted in surprise: "Old Qin, how dare you to hide your private money, be careful that your sister in law know about it."
A threat flashed in Qin Fang's eyes: "If you don't say it, how will she know. If you dare to say it..." The deep eyes hide the momentum of assassination.
Lu Baifu immediately confessed: "I definitely won't say it, because... I also think that private money is very important, we men should hide our money and we can eat and drink in private. By the way, Commander Qin , you still didn't invite us to a drink."
Qin Fang thought for a while: "Okay, call someone else tonight to have a drink in the town's pub." Because they are on duty during the day in the 18th district, they have time at night.
Han Zhen immediately said, "I'm afraid you don't have enough money on your body."
Qin Fang glanced at him: "Then , I will spend a little money ."
Han Zhen opened his mouth wide, as if he had eaten an egg: "Are you too stingy? Can you show a bit of the spirit of a commander ?"
Qin Fang: "No." His money is to be saved for his wife and for his future children, not for them to drink.
Yang Baifu asked, "Do you want the deer whip that was processed in the kitchen?"
His sudden words made Qin Fang and others suddenly quiet down. Han Zhen snorted: "I don't need it anymore." His wife is pregnant and if he eats it, the fire will be nowhere to be solved.
Lu Baifu: "I don't need it either. I've been too tired recently, so I need to take a good rest."
Yang Baifu looked at Qin Fang. Qin Fang, who has never vented his anger with his wife would never confessed : "I'm not you, do you think I need it?" Then he turned around and left.
Yang Baifu: "..." It's too bullying. But looking at Qin Fang's figure, he really doesn't need it. It's just that his wife can really handle it?
Qin Fang rode back to his house and took Han Zhen with him. Because the distance was short and the ride was very fast. Otherwise, Qin Fang would definitely leave Han Zhen behind. Now in Qin Fang's heart, his wife is the first and the horse is the second.
At the door of the family yard, Qin Fang said, "Go back, we'll go to a restaurant for a drink at four o'clock in the afternoon . I'm going to the county seat."
Han Zhen: "What are you doing in the county seat?"
Qin Fang: "buy something."
Han Zhen thought for a while: "I'll go too."
So, the two went to the county town together and they went to the county town with a purpose, so they came back after buying something.
"My lord is back." Aunt Yu was washing vegetables in the yard and saw Qin Fang back.
Qin Fang nodded: "Where's your madam?"
Aunt Yu: "Madam is embroidering inside the house."
Yang Haiyan also heard his voice and came out: "Why are you early today? Aunt Fan hasn't cooked yet."
Qin Fang showed her a basket of things:
"I bring you something ."
Yang Haiyan looked at it and said in surprise: "This is apples and tofu, you can also buy them in town?"
Qin Fang looked at her, pretending to be mysterious and not speaking.
Yang Haiyan smiled: "Master, did you go to the county to buy it?" She remembered when she was thinking about tofu before and rwhen Yang Dahua brought apples, she said that it was delicious, so this time, he specially bought it for her . Yang Haiyan looked at him with crooked eyebrows, this man's heart is hot, as long as you add a small amount of fire, it will be boiling hot.
Qin Fang was a little uncomfortable looking at her, so he hummed: "Why are you looking at me?"
Yang Haiyan: "I think you are handsome."
Qin Fang: "You...don't talk nonsense." Then he ran into the house as if he was escaping.
Yang Haiyan gave a crisp laugh: "Master, we will make tofu soup at night."
Qin Fang came out of the house again: "I will not have to dinner at home tonight. I asked the centurion below to go to the restaurant to have a drink."
After hearing this, Yang Haiyan went to the house and then took out a five taels silver note: "Here, since you've invited everyone to drink, you must eat with all your heart."
Qin Fang: "No." He still has more than three taels of silver, enough to eat.
Yang Haiyan shoved it into his hand:
"Just take it."
Seeing this, Qin Fang had to take it.
When Qin Fang came back from drinking, everyone in the house fell asleep, but there was still warm water in the kitchen. He took a shower and went back to the room after changing .
Yang Haiyan was lying in bed while reading a book: " you came back very early." Although it was late, according to modern time, it was only half past seven.
Qin Fang: "we will be on duty during the day tomorrow." As he spoke, he took out the remaining money, "I only spend 2 taels of silver today and the remaining taels are placed on the table." After putting away the money, he got on the bed and squeezed to Yang Haiyan's place, just squeezing was not enough, he had to lean on her.
Han family
Yang Dahua is very happy today, because her man bought her a silver hairpin.It has been more than three months now since they got married . It is the first time she has received a gift from a man, so she is very happy.
Seeing her like that, Han Zhen was also happy: "Don't be afraid to wear it, we'll buy better ones in the future."
Yang Dahua: "Well."
On the last day of the month, Qin Fang came back from duty and brought back five men, all of whom had served in full military service. Because Qin Fang informed Yang Haiyan one day in advance, the meal in the evening was very rich, especially the meat brought back by Qin Fang two days ago, all roasted. Yes, barbecue.
Among the five soldiers that Qin Fang brought back, one was Kun Shi, who turned out to be 'Shi Chang', the captain of the ten-man team in his district , when he was a centurion. Now he has accepted these five. These people will be a private guards and Kun Shi was appointed captain.
The small courtyard of the family room was naturally unable to accommodate , so these five people will lived in the commander mansion. A lot of things have been added over there, but the things Yang Haiyan needed in the main room were not enough, so they didn't move in.
Private soldiers usually live in Qianfu's (commander's house), where General Ao lived before. There is a special training ground, where they practice martial arts. Kun Shi will follow Qin Fang to the military camp. For this reason, Yang Haiyan also bought Kun Shi a horse. This makes Kun Shi, who is penniless, very happy. It is a very proud thing to have a horse of his own. When he returns to the Qianfu's house every day, the first thing he does is to serve the horse.
There was nothing to do in the winter, the days passed without knowing it and soon it was the fifth day of the month. This day, they are going to attend the banquet at the General's Mansion in the county and what Yang Haiyan is going to prepare has already been prepared.
Qin Fang wears casual clothes on weekdays. Except for the close-fitting clothes, which are made of fine cotton by Yang Haiyan, the outer clothes are basically made of coarse cloth. He trained in the barracks and practiced martial arts. Good cloth could not stand up to wear and it would cost money if it was torn, while coarse cloth was cheap, but because it was rough, it was strong.
But today he was wearing a more formal dress and a black robe made him more handsome and extraordinary, which added a bit of momentum …compared to the usual sternness today. The black jade hair crown was put on by Yang Haiyan: "This is just right." This man is imposing , not like an ordinary military soldier at all.
Speaking of which, in the past two months, from literacy, to knowing the history of Qiguo, to being familiar with the law and then to read the military book , his whole person has indeed changed a lot.
To put it vulgarly, it means that the whole person has been washed and sublimated.
To put it mildly, there is a treasure in the book,knowledge has changed his vision and concept.
Coupled with Yang Haiyan's influence on him in terms of values and outlook on life, who can say that this is a poor boy came from the countryside when he goes out ?
Qin Fang has always been rough with himself, so he went to the General's Mansion to celebrate and he didn't care about his appearance. According to what he meant, it was good for men to earn money to raise his women and raise children.
But going out with his wife today, he is very concerned about his image,he is afraid of being compared. Others say that he is not worthy of his wife. So he asked nervously, "Is this okay?"
Yang Haiyan: "My heart skips a beat when I see you, I'm afraid some lady will take a fancy, do you think it's okay?"
When Qin Fang heard it, he couldn't help laughing: "I don't want anyone else, just you." When she was rich and he was poor, she didn't dislike him. So in this life, he will never let her go.
Yang Haiyan thought to herself, I made you like this, and taught you to read and write, do you still want someone else?
Qin Fang said again: "You are also good-looking." During the winter disaster, she was more white and tender, not only her, but also the servants around her, who is not healthy ? Even the two sons of the Lu family have grown strong by drinking goat milk every day.
Her clothes today are no different from those of ordinary days. She has a milky white jacket, a long red dress and a black cloak on the outside.
There are a pair of pearls on the earlobes on both sides. The pearls are matched with the pearls in the golden hairpin on the bun and the small wrist is wearing a bracelet of Hetian jade. With delicate makeup, there is no flaw in the whole face. .
Not to mention Qin Fang's heartbeat when he saw it, even the Mammy Lian who saw so many beauties was also stunned for a while. What she was stunned was not Yang Haiyan's appearance. The Yuan family used to be the threshold for second-rank officials. Can there be no beauty among the children of the aristocratic family?
Therefore, what Mammy Lian was stunned was Yang Haiyan's make, she can't help but praised silently .
Qin Fang: "let's go." Saying that, he took her hand.
Qin Fang went out today with Kun Shi. The two went on horseback, while Yang Haiyan took Mammy Lian. The two went in a donkey cart and it was Uncle Hong who drove the cart.
The land is caught in the cold north wind, blowing rustling in the air. Yang Haiyan and Nanny Lian could hear the sound in the donkey cart. If it was a big night, it would be frightening .
Yang Haiyan hugged the stove and covered her body with a quilt, so she could huddle herself together.
After a while, the carriage stopped. Yang Haiyan asked, "Have we arrived at the county seat?"
Qin Fang rode his horse in front and didn't hear her voice. Mammy Lian stretched her head out of the carriage and looked at it: "We've arrived at the gate of the county town. We can enter after checking our identity."
When Yang Haiyan heard this, she felt a little nervous. Speaking of which, if it was only in the circle of sister Lu and Yang Dahua, she would handle it like a duck to water. But when she go outside, the class division is too great and everyone who sees them has to salute, a little disrespect will cause trouble.
When she was reading the novel, she saw that Yang Dahua became the general's wife and lived a glorious life. But she walked step by step and the difficulty was not something that she could understand when she read the novel. Only when she come to this world and experience everything in this world can she understand the difficulties.
The donkey cart started moving again and the identity check was done. After a while, the donkey cart arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion.
Qin Fang fet down from his horse and came to the donkey cart: "Yanyan, we are here."
Yang Haiyan got out of the donkey cart and Qin Fang led her out of the cart. After she got out of the car, Nanny Lian also got down quickly and followed behind Yang Haiyan, keeping a ceremonial distance.
"Master Qin is here." The man who received the male guest at the door was the housekeeper of General Ao's mansion, who was quite familiar with Qin Fang and had known each other for four years. When Qin Fang first came to the barracks, General Ao was the commander of thousands and the housekeeper was his personal guard.
Although the housekeeper has no rank, Qin Fang is a subordinate of General Ao and he is also a person supported by General Ao, so Qin Fang naturally gives the housekeeper a face: "Captain Wu." Qin Fang's name for him is based on the past.
Butler Wu heard the title and became even more close to Qin Fang: "Master Qin, the general has instructed that when you arrive, your subordinates will take you there."
Qin Fang: "Alright , what about my wife?"
Butler Wu: "Qin Ruren's guide... Tian Mammy, the lady from Qin's family is here, come and receive it." Then he said to Yang Haiyan, "Don't worry, Mammy Tian is the housekeeper beside my family Yiren."(title for the 5th general wife)
Mammy Tian was specially ordered to wait for Yang Haiyan here. When she saw the arrival, she hurriedly saluted warmly and respectfully: "Qin Ruren are well, please come here, my family Yiren has prepared a conservatory to entertain the distinguished guests."
Yang Haiyan avoided her and accepted her half-gift greetings : " I am really sorry to ask Mother Tian to wait for a long time in this cold winter." As she said that, she handed over the stove in her hand,"Mother Tian warm your hands."
Mother Tian take it and said gratefully, "Thank you Ruren."( title for 7th rank commander soldier to the wife)
Mother Lian hurriedly gave her another hand stove to Yang Haiyan: "Ruren, be careful to catch a cold."
Mammy Tian observed Yang Haiyan and Mammy Lian and was a little surprised at the moment, but she immediately understood that even if she were a maid before , the etiquette and rules were excellent.
What's more, what if she was maid before ? Now she is the wife of a seventh-rank soldier and the glory is still to come. Everyone know that Qin Fang is only 20 years old. If he move up, it will only take a few years. Even if it takes ten years, this 30-year-old fifth-rank general is still outstanding. Therefore, the glory and wealth of this young man are still limitless.
Mammy Tian led the way and soon arrived at the conservatory where the general's wife prepared for the guests . At the door of the conservatory stood two servants dressed in thick coats. Seeing them coming, they hurriedly lifted the windproof cotton curtain at the door. After they entered, the cotton curtain was lowered again.
The conservatory was still warm and the heat from the fireplace was more warmer, probably because it was too cold outside, so it felt warm as soon as they entered.
Mammy Tian invited Yang Haiyan to sit down: "Qin Ruren, please sit down and the servant girl will tell Yiren."
Yang Haiyan nodded.
Madam Tian stepped back and before she left, she asked the maid to serve tea.
Yang Haiyan was nervous than before. Don't look at her calm on the surface, she has seen many scenes on TV, but watching TV is different from personal experience. Although she has the memory of the original owner, and she has seen the biggest scenes in the original owner's memory, her memory and personal experience are also different.
The maid served the tea, Yang Haiyan picked up the teacup, took a shallow sip, but only one sip, moistening her dry throat and then she stopped drinking. Going out, drinking too much tea, it is inconvenient to go to the thatched hut.
However, she didn't wait too long, only to see a door in the conservatory opened and a rich lady in her early thirties came out. She had a smile on her face and she was quite bright. She didn't say a word and only smiled, which made people feel extremely comfortable.
Mrs. Ao came out of the door with a look of apology: "Qin Ruren I'm really sorry, I was entertaining other guests. Did you wait a long time , ?"
Yang Haiyan got up and leaned over: "I've seen Yiren, I just got here and the place is warm."
After hearing this, Mrs. Ao laughed and said, "I don't like the style of the gentleman. Qin Fang and my man are on good terms. I'm also a lot older than you. You call me auntie, and I call you Haiyan. How about it?"
Yang Haiyan is sixteen years old this year and Mrs. Ao is in her early thirties. She is a mother already, it was right for Yang Haiyan to call her auntie.
Yang Haiyan remembered that in the plot of the novel, the prince ascended the throne and Han Zhen and Yang Dahua, who raised the future emperor will be his own faction.
Yonghe Hou went a step further and became Duke Yonghe. After all, Yonghe Hou has 50,000 military power in his hands and is related to Han Zhen, so they naturally stand in line.
And how can General Ao be excluded?
Yang Haiyan came back to her senses and followed Mrs. Ao's suggestion: "Haiyan will listened to auntie."
Ao Jiang just likes such a direct character. "That's for sure, if Qin Fang dares to bully you, I will ask the general to punish him. By the way, the honored guest I just entertained is still inside. She is afraid that you will wait and ask me to come out to receive you. Do you want to meet up? "
Yang Haiyan showed a hint of hesitation: "Will I will disturb your guest?"
Mrs. Ao: "No, let's go, you'll get to know each other in the future."
She said, leading Yang Haiyan into the house and when they went in, the maid closed the door again.
