Translator: Dragon Boat Translation ‘ Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
However, Zhou Bo was worried when he saw that Su Qing had almost finished unloading the things in the car and still did not see the wine jar. His eyebrows and the corners of his mouth drooped. He lowered his head dejectedly, feeling highly wronged.
Su Qing couldn’t help but laugh when she saw Zhou Bo like this. This old brat would feel uncomfortable if he didn’t drink for a day. She walked up to Zhou Bo and whispered,
“Martial Uncle, wait in the room. I’ll send you ten jars of wine in a while.”
“Really? Qing girl, you can’t deceive the old man.”
Zhou Bo’s eyes lit up as soon as he heard that. His eyebrows were raised, and the corners of his mouth curled up. He was smiling like a happy Maitreva Buddha.
“That won’t happen.”
Su Qing was in a good mood when she saw Zhou Bo’s happy expression. The old man followed them through the mountains and rivers. He would be the first to rush to the front if there was danger, blocking her and Xiao Zeyu behind. It was worth taking care of him.
“Okay, I’ll go back to my room and wait.”
The old man left happily. Luan Hong curiously asked Su Qing,
Qing er, what did you say to the old man? He was so beautiful that his beard was about to rise to the sky.”
“I said I’ll send him some wine.”
Su Qing smiled when she saw her cousin’s curious look. Luan Hong looked at
Su Qing’s empty carriage and said,
“Where is the wine?”
“In a while, you send ten jars to my room, and I’ll send them to him.”
She would scare her mother if she conjured ten jars of wine out of thin air, so Su Qing borrowed Luan Hong’s hand.
“Oh, a delaying tactic.”
Luan Hong nodded and thought she understood.
“Yes.”
Su Qing nodded. You are right.
“Qing’er, Jing Lin…Is he alright?”
Luan Hong was a little shy. Her voice was as soft as a bee. She missed Zhang Jinglin very much.
Zhang Jinglin left after the two of them got engaged. His old mother stayed at Luan Hong’s house.
Although she was not married to Zhang Jinglin, Luan Hong still went to pay her respects to the old lady every day and sent two servant girls to take care of her. The old lady’s health was getting increasingly better, and she was fulfilling her filial piety on behalf of Zhang Jinglin.
“He’s fine.”
It was difficult for Su Qing to see Luan Hong’s shy look. She had a fiery personality, but she had become a little woman because of love.
“Can I go to Luo City with you?”
Her longing for Zhang Jinglin was like a sea. Luan Hong was also willing to learn needlework for Zhang Jinglin. She embroidered a purse for Zhang Jinglin and wanted to hand it to him personally. However, in the chaos of war, the mountains were high, and the rivers were far away. She did not dare to go alone. She also refused to let Uncle Yang escort her.
Now that she had finally caught Su Qing, Luan Hong wanted to fight for a chance to meet Zhang Jinglin.
“Okay, I’m going to Luo City after the New Year. You can come with me.”
Su Qing nodded. This was not a problem. The problem was who would brew the wine if Luan Hong left.
But she didn’t mention this matter. If it didn’t work, she would leave the job of mixing the wine to her father and let him take over for a while.
Luan Hong was pleased to receive Su Qing’s affirmative answer. Only then did she notice Xiaoying, who had been silent all this while. She stood quietly beside Su Qing, more like a young lady from a noble family than her.
“Xiaoying, why are you unhappy?”
Luan Hong pulled Xiaoying warmly. They were girls of the same age, so getting along was easier for them.
“I’m just a little tired.”
Xiaoying smiled. Her face was still pale. She was still in a daze after being kidnapped by Qiu Yongkang.
“Then go in and rest.”
Yang Ruxue and Yang Rubing quickly ordered the maids to clean up the guest room and prepare hot water and clean clothes for Xiaoying to take a bath and rest.
“Alright, I’m going to rest.”
Xiaoying was tired. She felt her legs go weak just by standing there. She had been sitting in the carriage for the past few days and couldn’t shower. She felt very uncomfortable and desperately wanted to shower and change into clean clothes.
Qing’er, you should go back to your room to rest. Mother will order someone to cook delicious food for you.”
Yang Ruxue held her daughter’s hand and smiled kindly. Her daughter’s home was filled with laughter.
He thought that Qing’er wouldn’t be coming back for the new year. Fortunately, the family was reunited.
Su Qing also felt a little tired. Perhaps it was because she was pregnant but getting increasingly sleepy. When she heard her mother’s words, she nodded in agreement.
When she returned to her room, Su Qing found that all the furnishings had not been touched. The room was spotless, and two sets of new clothes were on the bed. They were all embroidered by her mother. She still liked to make clothes for her daughter.
Su Qing thanked the original owner. If she didn’t wear it on her, she would never know what motherly love felt like.
The servant girl brought hot water, and two carried a large bathtub. The hot water was poured into the bathtub individually, and dried rose petals were scattered on the water surface. Yang Ruxue was a woman who knew life very well. These petals were expensive, but using petals would make people feel pleasant, and the fragrance of the flowers would stay on the skin.
She had to give her daughter the best. She wanted to give all the good things to Su Qing.
Su Qing looked at the flower-covered bathtub and was very satisfied. The servant girl wanted to stay behind to help her bathe and change but was chased out by Su Qing.
“You guys can leave!”
She was not used to being surrounded by people when bathing. The servant girls knew that this young miss had a strange temper. If they followed her, they would freeze to death. Once Su Qing gave the order, these servant girls quickly left and went out to help her close the door. They did not go far and stood guard at the door, waiting for orders.
Su Qing took off her clothes and stepped into the bathtub. The temperature of the water was just right, and the steam was not hot. Sitting in the middle of the roses and smelling the fragrance, Su Qing comfortably placed her arms on the side of the bathtub, tilted her head slightly, and closed her eyes to enjoy this rare peace.
Her thoughts flew uncontrollably to Luo City. How was Shuisheng’s battle?
In Luo City, Xiao Zeyu and Zhang Jinglin were in the central army tent, looking at the map and studying tomorrow’s battle plan. This time, Wan Yulin was determined to win Luo City. He had sent the backbone of the Wan Family Army to surround Luo City layer by layer. Not even a fly couldn’t escape.
The commander of the attack on Luo City was Wan Yulin’s confidant, Long Ling. Long Ling had followed Wan Yulin on expeditions and had much combat experience. When he arrived at Luo City, he was not in a hurry to attack the city. He first surrounded Luo City and wanted to cause panic among the people by trapping the city.
In addition, he ordered spies in Luo City to poison the water. Dozens of civilians had already died after drinking the poisoned water. For a time, everyone in Luo City was in danger.
When Xiao Zeyu found out about the situation, he ordered people to guard the water source to ensure the safety of the drinking water. He also ordered people to guard the granary to prevent the enemy from burning the grain.
Fortunately, Zhang Jinglin had ordered people to guard the granary strictly before the war. During this period, he had caught several spies who wanted to set fire to the granary, ensuring the safety of the food.
This was also Long Ling’s sinister scheme, cutting off the city’s food and water supply and starving the Xiao Family’s army to death. What did their lives have to do with the imperial court?
“Young master, Long Ling wants to trap us in the city by besieging the city. I think we should take the initiative to attack..”
