After giving the letter to Qin, Zhan Yang said, "My second uncle also wrote to me. He said that the war in the south is urgent and the weather is extremely cold. He asked me to buy more food to prepare for any eventuality. I had already instructed my clansmen to buy it when I came here."
Qin nodded and opened the envelope.
Similar to what Zhan Yang said, Zhan Qi witnessed the unease of the people during his trip south and felt the weather was extremely cold, so he sent a message back hoping that she would purchase some grain to prepare for any eventuality.
He said he had a premonition that rice prices might rise soon.
War is imminent in the southern border region. The weather is cold, and the barbarians outside the southern border will attack and plunder the city like madmen. The court has issued an edict ordering Marquis Anping to quell the rebellion and stabilize the people's hearts. However, there is still a rumor that the sorcerers in the southern border region have decided to use witchcraft to severely injure Marquis Anping and are determined to break down the city gates!
Panic gripped the people; even before the war began, an atmosphere of urgency had already spread among them.
They had the Winged Cloth Shop to keep warm, but they hadn't gotten their hands on rice and grain. The unease in the Southern Frontier was actually limited to a small area. Others might not know about Marquis Anping, but how could Zhanqi not know? Because they didn't trust him to win, they reminded him to be on guard.
Before meeting Qin Shi, Zhan Qi also trusted Marquis Anping, Su Chang'an.
After reading the letter, Madam Qin said, "Please thank your second uncle for me. My family will be on guard."
Zhan Yang nodded: "Okay, then I'll head back first. You all get some rest."
"Be careful on the road."
Madam Qin nodded and added a word of advice.
Zhan Yang is not old, but he has been forced to grow up and take on many things that he should not have to take on. All of this is unavoidable and is something he has to bear.
He knows some kung fu, and with the little monkey scouting the way, the return journey at night won't be a problem.
Zhan Yang went out and left with the little monkey.
After Zhan Yang left, the family members packed up their things.
Qin Jin'an was already sleepy, so Qin Shi carried her back to bed and put her to sleep.
White Dot diligently washed and dried its feet. Qin smiled, took its special handkerchief and wiped its fur, then patted its head and said, "Sleep well with your master."
White Dot let out a soft "woof".
It curled up in a corner beside Qin Jin'an, tucking a corner of the blanket under her, its chin resting against Qin Jin'an's side, its eyes closed.
When Madam Qin returned to the main hall, Qin Tianhai and Qin Yulin were still waiting for her.
"Little sister, is it really going to be war again?"
Qin Yulin frowned. The war hadn't been over for long, and now they were going to fight again, and this time they were sending Su Chang'an... what would the result be?
"Well, these are not things we should worry about. We are just ordinary people. We just need to live our own lives. Tomorrow we will split up and go shopping. Zhanqi's reminder is right. It's good to prepare more. It's better to be prepared."
The Qin family knew Qin Yulin's concerns, but they were just ordinary people.
When you have the ability, you can do good deeds, but when you don't, take care of yourself.
She didn't want anything else, she just wanted to protect her daughter. When she did business, she followed her conscience and didn't harm anyone. That was enough for her.
"Don't overthink it. He's not the only one in the army. He has so much experience; he can't be a needle in a haystack."
Qin Tianhai spoke calmly. Although Su Chang'an's title of marquis was certainly due to the child's protection, surely he couldn't be completely without ability?
"I think he's even worse than an embroidery needle..."
Qin Yulin couldn't help but say that, recalling the several times he fought with Su Chang'an, he felt that Su Chang'an's counterattacks were weak and powerless, but Su Chang'an said that he was letting him win.
For some reason, Qin Yulin felt that being weak and powerless was his true self.
"If they really attack, I will join the army and I will definitely protect our home."
Qin Yulin quickly laughed and patted his chest as he spoke.
Even if Su Chang'an is incompetent, not all men are as incompetent as him.
So don't worry about these things. If that day ever comes, I wonder how many men will stand up.
"You're just being glib. Southern Xinjiang isn't that close to us. Don't worry, they can't reach us."
Zhang smiled and nodded at Qin Yulin's head.
The whole family couldn't help but smile.
They all went back to their rooms to sleep, feeling incredibly at ease.
After lying down, Qin Shi gently kissed Qin Jin'an's forehead before closing her eyes to sleep.
Qin Jin'an was already fast asleep.
She lay on Qi Yuanyou's stomach, talking about how delicious the hot pot they were having that night was.
Qi Yuanyou's mouth watered as he listened.
"Fish Baby, congratulations on coming home."
Qi Yuanyou was happy for Qin Jin'an, but also envious of her.
"Yuanyuan, congratulations to you too. Your muscles are no longer soft and have become the muscles you like."
The soft, fleshy meat was reduced to just a tiny bit.
Qin Jin'an sighed with emotion, realizing he hadn't been wrong.
Lying down isn't comfortable anymore.
"Fish Baby, would you like to try lying on my back?"
Qi Yuanyou was a little nervous. Could they stop being so intimate so soon?
He felt like an evil person, tempting innocent children.
"OK."
Qin Jin'an smiled and agreed.
Qin Jinan quickly got up, and after Qi Yuanyou lay down, she lay down on top of him.
Qi Yuanyou's back wasn't very soft either, but when her foot touched Qi Yuanyou's buttocks, she paused for a moment, then sat up and reached out to pinch it.
"Yuanyuan, your butt is so chubby..."
Qin Jin'an patted her as she spoke, then felt a little embarrassed, realizing how impolite she had been.
"Yuanyuan, I'm so sorry, I was so rude."
Qin Jin'an sincerely apologized, admitting that he had just lost control and couldn't resist.
Worried that Qi Yuanyou would be angry, she didn't know whether she should put her feet on the ground or not.
Qi Yuanyou was relieved that she couldn't see his expression; his face flushed red, he felt both nervous and shy.
Hearing Qin Jin'an apologize, he slowed his breathing and said, "It's okay, we're best friends, and this is no different from my stomach. You can take pictures if you like, but please don't pinch it, okay?"
Qi Yuanyou can be said to have indulged without any bottom line.
Qin Jin'an felt no guilt for a moment, but she focused on Qi Yuanyou's last sentence and asked curiously, "Why can't I pinch him?"
Soft, fluffy flesh is fun to squeeze!
"It tickles too much when you pinch me..."
Qi Yuanyou's face was so red it was almost bleeding. He felt he was being incredibly rude and that his actions were wrong and ungentlemanly. But he couldn't get Qin Jin'an away from him, and he felt like a hypocrite.
Perhaps one day Qin Jin'an will understand, and then she will stay away from him and never see him in her dreams again.
He is so despicable that everyone will eventually leave him.
But it doesn't matter. It's enough that he once had warmth. He won't live much longer, and this little bit of warmth is enough for him to get through this short life.
"Okay, then I won't pinch it."
Qin Jin'an readily agreed. She didn't pinch, but just touched it with her foot. She was amazed to see her foot bounce. It would be too impolite to pat someone's butt, and pinching would be the same, but she neither pinched nor patted. She played with the bouncy ball with her foot. This was much better.
