"Miss."

"Mother~~"

Shulan had just arrived at the door and hadn't even dismounted when she heard Xiao Cui and Xiao Bao's voices.

Looking over, Xiao Cui was carrying the chubby baby and coming towards her.

Behind him followed Uncle Rong, Granny Lu, and Aunt Chen.

She waved, beaming, "I'm back!"

Uncle Rong also smiled and said, "It's good that you're back. You've worked hard, young mistress."

Granny Lu and Granny Chen said with concern, "You've lost so much weight. You need to eat more to recover."

Shulan touched her face: "Have you lost weight? Are you alright?"

I don't feel anything, I've just been really busy lately, but I haven't been eating less, so I shouldn't be too thin.

I guess there's a saying that older people are thin.

He Fengmian dismounted first and helped her down.

As soon as Shulan's feet touched the ground, the chubby boy opened his arms and happily rushed towards her, saying, "Mom."

Shulan quickly caught him and gave him a kiss on his chubby little face: "Little Bao, did you miss your auntie?"

He Xiaobao immediately nodded his chubby head: "Yes."

They even added, "I really want to."

He probably thought about the heartache he felt missing his aunt during this time, and wanted to see her at the gate every day.

Her little mouth immediately pursed, and her soft, chubby face trembled, looking like she was about to shed tears.

Shulan's heart melted at the sight of his adorable appearance.

Immediately change the subject: "Has Xiaobao been very well-behaved lately?"

Xiao Cui quickly said, "He's very well-behaved. Young Master Xiao Bao is especially well-behaved; he can eat by himself now."

Shulan quickly praised, "Our little one is really amazing."

When He Xiaobao heard his aunt praise him, his little chest immediately puffed out.

If you put a little tail on the back, it'll definitely wag.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh at his adorable appearance.

Uncle Rong said, "Young Master, Young Madam, you must be tired these days. Please go inside and rest."

Even Granny Lu chimed in, "Yes, Chen Ma prepared the meal early this morning."

Shulan was overjoyed when she heard that Chen Ma had cooked something delicious.

He said to the bearded man beside him, "General, you can try Chen Ma's cooking. Our Chen Ma's dishes are delicious."

The general, who was about to leave, nodded as if possessed: "Okay."

Everyone was immediately delighted and welcomed them inside.

After Fatty got his aunt, he didn't want anyone else.

She always turns her back to whoever holds her, clinging to her aunt and acting incredibly spoiled.

Even General He couldn't stand it anymore, so he pulled him into his arms and lectured him: "Boys shouldn't be so spoiled."

Tears immediately welled up in the chubby boy's eyes.

Shulan saw him scolding the child, and although she didn't want to directly stop her uncle from disciplining his nephew, she knew better.

But she couldn't resist and took the baby from his arms: "General, let's eat first."

After placing the child in the chair, she whispered to the person next to her, "General, let's have a chat after dinner."

He Fengmian also happened to need to speak with her, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

Chen Ma's cooking skills are truly exceptional. Seeing that Miss had suffered this time, she prepared all of her signature dishes.

The pork knuckle was so tender and flavorful that even Shulan, who doesn't eat fatty meat, couldn't resist having a few extra bites.

He even served some food to the bearded man next to him, saying, "General, try this, it's really delicious."

The chubby little boy, who can already feed himself, raised his little spoon, indicating, "I want some."

Shulan also put some on his plate, thoughtfully cutting the meat into smaller pieces and cleaning the fish for him, instructing him, "Xiaobao, eat the fish slowly, and spit out any bones."

The little guy nodded, and He Fengmian, who was eating a pork knuckle, nodded as well, giving a rare, good-natured comment: "Very delicious."

Meanwhile, Uncle Rong, who was standing nearby, watched as the young mistress served food to the second young master, making them look like a family of three, and his eyes crinkled with laughter.

Before they had finished eating, He Xiaobao was already sleepy, so his nanny quickly carried him to rest.

Shulan rarely gets to eat to her heart's content, and she accidentally ate too much.

After lying there for a while, he went to the study with the bearded man.

I was thinking about how to start a conversation about He Xiaobao.

But when he saw the crossbows on the desk, his eyes lit up. He quickly walked to the desk and asked, "Are they all ready?" He pointed to the crossbows and the gunpowder crossbows, as well as the Mandarin Duck Axe.

The crossbow was the largest, but compared to the ones everyone had used before, it was noticeably more than half as delicate. The gunpowder crossbow was also as she had described.

Especially the Meridian Mandarin Duck Axe; even just sitting there, you can see its sharpness, giving the impression of cutting through iron like mud.

Looking at these, she couldn't help but say, "These are so exquisite and beautiful."

Looking at her delighted expression, He Fengmian's eyes also lit up with a smile: "It's been ready for a while now, but you've been there the whole time, so I haven't shown it to you."

Shulan asked excitedly, "Is the Great General any good? How effective is it? What's its range like? And is this Meridian Mandarin Duck Axe any good?"

He Fengmian didn't pay any attention to her barrage of questions.

He explained, "I let the vanguard battalion use it, and they said it was very handy. Even though it was their first time using it, the accuracy was very good, and the range was long." The vanguard battalion is the one that charges into battle, so this is the most suitable for them.

Looking at the Meridian Mandarin Duck Axe, he said, "I had a few skilled people use this, and they liked it very much."

They even used it for the eleventh, saying it was very suitable for assassination.

He also had the cavalry use the crossbow. At first, they were a little unaccustomed to it, but after getting used to it, they kept praising how good the weapon was.

It can be said that these three weapons represent a major transformation for the He family army.
