Chapter 442: Hello, Lord Yin
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Eunuch Zhu looked down and said against his conscience, “The red color is quite festive!”
Yin Huaixi took the safety lamp and said without changing his expression,
“How elegant. I didn’t expect Chang Ningbo to have such skills.”
As he spoke, his heart stirred, and he observed the Four Seasons Safety Lamp in his hand.
Even the plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum during the four seasons could not hide the “fresh and refined” taste of this lamp. However, it was to celebrate a festival, and it was just for fun.
Yin Huaixi did not care about this.
In the past, when he was in Youzhou, he had befriended many people from all walks of life. In his opinion, as long as a person had something extraordinary, they were worthy of being valued.
Therefore, he did not look down on this lamp.
Chang Ningbo was a careless person but he had a good heart. This lamp looked tacky, but his skills were really good and the workmanship was very meticulous.
Yin Huaixi played with his lamp and said calmly, “I’m going out for a walk.” Eunuch Zhu hurriedly went forward and pushed the wheelchair out of the tent.
In the huge camp, there were rows of military tents in an orderly manner. At this moment, the weather was hot, and the soldiers were not training. They were gathered under the built roof to chat.
Yin Huaixi could hear from afar that Chang Ningbo, who was mixed in with the soldiers, was talking nonsense. “My skills in making lamps were passed down from my ancestors. Our ancestors relied on this skill to support our family for a few generations. Later, I used this skill to coax a daughter-in-law home.”
Then, a soldier asked curiously, “Your family has such good culinary skills. Why did you enter the military camp to beg for food?”
Which one of them didn’t enter the military camp because they had many family members and couldn’t live anymore?
At the mention of this, Chang Ningbo had a stomach full of words. “My wife’s father was the centurion of the army. He looked down on my small body and was unwilling to marry his daughter to me. At that time, I was young and rash, so I said that I had to join the army and get his daughter!”
Yin Huaixi was amused and couldn’t help but ask, “What happened after that?” There was a sudden silence.
All the soldiers present, including Chang Ningbo, widened their eyes and looked at Yin Huaixi as if they had seen a ghost. It was as if they had never expected the usually cold and unsociable Head General Yin to appear here.
News of Chang Ningbo being beaten up by Lord Yin had long spread in the military camp.
They were all in a war. Everyone had seen one another’s most sorry states, so no one cared about face.
Chang Ningbo did not deliberately hide it.
Hence, Chang Ningbo’s helmet, which had an arrow nailed to it, became a “symbol” that everyone in the army admired. Yin Huaixi’s arrow also became a “legend” in the army!
The military did not care about status.
The bigger the fist, the more powerful it was.
Lord Yin’s fists were stronger than Chang Ningbo’s. Even if he was young, crippled, and sick, this wouldn’t make people look down on him. Instead, it would make the soldiers admire him even more.
If he was so powerful even with a crippled leg, what if his legs were fine?
No wonder Yin Huaixi could resist Di people at the age of twelve. He was really not exaggerating.
Hence, Yin Huaixi’s “fame” spread throughout the army.
“Ge-general Yin, why are you here?!” Chang Ningbo suddenly stood up from the ground and quickly stood up. “Greetings, Head General Yin…”
“Head General Yin…
The other soldiers present also stood up to greet him.
Yin Huaixi’s lips twitched slightly. “It’s fine. Everyone, sit down.” He turned to look at Chang Ning. “What happened after that?”
Everyone’s attention was pulled back by this sentence and they looked at Chang Ningbo.
What happened after that? Chang Ningbo expressed that he did not want to say anything at all!
But!
Under Prince Yin’s unfathomable gaze, he could only brace himself and look up at the sky. He said melancholically, “Perhaps it’s because my words are not as ruthless as my father-in-law’s fists?!”
He was beaten to a pulp by his father-in-law on the spot.
There was a moment of silence—
Chang Ningbo was immersed in the past and looked indignant. “At that time, I made a great wish. Sooner or later, I would defeat my old father-in-law and wash away my previous shame!”
Everyone present kept their mouths shut.
Yin Huaixi couldn’t help but laugh.
Chang Ningbo did not notice anything amiss. “When I joined the army for three years and became a thousand-man commander, I was proud of myself and returned to my hometown in glory. I couldn’t wait to personally make a lamp and run to my father-in-law’s house to marry his daughter. Finally, I understood the principle!”
Someone in the field couldn’t help but laugh.
Yin Huaixi smiled. “Did your father-in-law beat you up again?”
Chang Ningbo turned to look at Yin Huaixi. “How did you know?!”
He wanted to marry his daughter with a lamp while he had worked hard for more than ten years to raise her.
However, from Chang Ningbo’s standpoint, he had personally made the lamp and it was an ancestral craft. There was no greater sincerity. Of course, it was impossible for Yin Huaixi to say this.
Many people present couldn’t help but laugh.
Chang Ningbo sighed. “I regret it. Why didn’t I fight with my father-in-law before proposing?!”
Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter.
Yin Huaixi couldn’t help but laugh.
Eunuch Zhu laughed until he wiped his tears. “Old general, if you really do this,
I’m afraid you won’t be able to get a wife…”
“Hahahaha…”
Chang Ningbo was stunned for a moment before slapping his forehead. “Why didn’t I think of that? If I had beaten up my future father-in-law back then, he definitely wouldn’t have let me marry his daughter.” After saying that, he looked relieved. “To think that I didn’t do this back then. Why do you think I took it so hard? I’ve been brooding over this for decades.
As he spoke, he couldn’t help but laugh.
After laughing, Chang Ningbo saw Yin Huaixi holding a lamp that he had personally made. “Head General Yin likes this lamp very much?”
Yin Huaixi looked at the lamp and nodded. “It’s very exquisite!”
He only said that it was exquisite, but he did not say that it looked good.
However, no one could tell the difference.
Especially a one-track-minded old man like Chang Ningbo. “Head General Yin, do you have something for me?”
Otherwise, why would he walk around with a lamp for no reason?
Chang Ningbo was thick-skinned, but not heartless.
Yin Huaixi nodded. “I originally saw that your lamp was exquisitely made, so I wanted to learn a thing or two. However, since it’s an ancestral craft, I can only give up!”
Yu Youyao had always liked exquisite things.
Since he couldn’t spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with her, it wasn’t bad to personally make a lamp and give it to her.
Now, it seemed that he couldn’t.
Unexpectedly, when Chang Ningbo heard that Yin Huaixi wanted to learn how to make lamps, he patted his chest and agreed. “So what if it’s an ancestral skill? My family doesn’t rely on lamps to live now. Besides, Master Yin doesn’t rely on selling lamps to make a living.. Isn’t it good to give it to someone he likes!”
