Cai'er entered the cabin and did not go up to the deck again. As a seasoned foodie, she had already started to take out the food stored by the hamster and stuff it into her mouth.
As they ate, Cai'er also discovered the mysterious operation of the couple. Standing at the door, she asked her young lady:
"Miss, what are you playing? It seems to be very fun."
"No, Cai'er, have you seen the young master?"
"I just passed by this side. Miss, don't run away. Come in and hide for a while." Cai'er pulled her into the room.
Yuchi Ziling blinked in confusion, stopped looking, and followed Cai'er into the room.
After a while, Jiang Hai came into the cabin. Cai Er, who was standing at the door, saw him and immediately turned back to whisper into the room:
"Miss, hide quickly, he's coming."
Yuchi Ziling was confused and didn't know what was going on, so she naturally hid behind the door.
"Cai'er, have you seen your wife?" Jiang Hai asked anxiously.
"No." Cai'er shook her head.
Jiang Hai was a little panicked. He wondered if his wife couldn't swim and fell into the sea. What should he do? He hurried off to look for someone.
After Jiang Hai left, Cai'er burst into laughter.
"Look, miss, he can't find it and he looks anxious."
“…”
Yuchi Ziling finally came to her senses. She wasn't playing, so how did it become hide-and-seek? Something must have gone wrong.
After figuring it out, she realized that the two of them were just going around in circles, so Yuchi Ziling sat down and ate with Cai'er.
"Cai'er, if you see him, call him in to eat."
"Oh, okay miss, you're not going to play anymore?"
"It's just a misunderstanding, not a joke. Eat it quickly." Yuchi Ziling picked up a piece of cake.
After a while, Jiang Hai walked into the cabin with a sad face. He saw Cai'er still standing at the door with her mouth full.
"Cai'er, my wife is missing. Could something have happened to her? Please help me look for her."
Cai'er burst out laughing and almost spit out the food in her mouth.
Jiang Hai understood the key point from her smile, quickly went to the door, and saw his wife sitting inside.
"Okay, Cai'er, now besides learning to hide food, you can also hide people."
"Thank you for the compliment, Master."
Seeing his wife sitting opposite him in perfect condition, Jiang Hai finally relaxed. It seemed that he was too sensitive.
Open your arms and get ready for a hug.
Cai Er was between the two of them and was frightened by Jiang Hai's action. She covered her chest with her hands and said:
"Master, what are you doing? No."
"..." Jiang Hai said with disgust, "Get out of the way, you jerk."
Seeing this, Yuchi Ziling was also amused by them.
"Come and eat with us." She invited Jiang Hai to join her.
Jiang Hai withdrew his hand and went in to have breakfast. After listening to Yuchi Ziling's explanation, he realized that it was a misunderstanding.
After Yuchi Ziling finished eating, she looked at him quietly, recalling his anxious look just now. She felt a little touched in her heart, which was good.
"My dear, because of what happened today, I have decided that when I get home I will build a swimming pool in the area at the back of the yard." Jiang Hai took a bite of the pastry.
"What's a swimming pool? What's it used for?"
"It's a clean pool. You can swim in it. I'm worried if you can't swim. I'll teach you later."
Jiang Hai swallowed the cake and continued with a dreamy look:
"Yes, I'll teach you. There's also a swimsuit to wear. It looks nice."
"Really? That's great." Yuchi Ziling raised an eyebrow at his dreamy expression and asked, "Is it a dress with minimal fabric, like a cheongsam?"
"Hehe, there is less fabric, oh no, it looks better." Jiang Hai smiled.
Yuchi Ziling finally figured it out. Okay, I'll wait here. But I'm a little curious whether it's really good-looking.
…
Three days later, at Jiang Mansion.
Jiang Xiuyuan has had nothing to do since his son got married, and has been very idle all day long.
Main house lobby.
With the sound of "crackling", several people were shuffling cards at the mahjong table.
These days, Master Jiang has been addicted to playing cards. He always drags Siqin with him, and when he has free time, he calls Liuzi and Honger to play a few rounds.
Sometimes Wang Lue came over and was also pulled in to make up the numbers.
A carriage stopped at the gate of Jiang Mansion. Uncle Hao got off the carriage and walked into Jiang Mansion slowly.
The old man walked quietly. When he arrived at the lobby, he saw several people shuffling cards. He didn't say anything, but just stood behind Jiang Xiuyuan and watched.
Siqin and the others saw Uncle Hao, and Uncle Hao made a gesture to silence them.
The few of them tacitly agreed not to reveal it.
Then, miraculously, for several rounds in a row, Jiang Xiuyuan would win the hand he wanted, and no one else would play that hand. He lost all his temper in the end.
"I don't want to play anymore. My luck is so bad today. I haven't won a single round in so many rounds." Jiang Xiuyuan said dejectedly.
At this time, Hao Bo spoke, "Master, I'm back."
Jiang Xiuyuan was startled and turned around to look at Hao Bo's warm smile.
Oh, the clever county magistrate seemed to understand something, but he had no evidence, so he could only say unhappily, "Oh, I'm glad you're back."
"Ah, why are you back? Shouldn't it take more than a month?" Jiang Xiuyuan suddenly realized what Uncle Hao said on the ship, and it was wrong to come back at this time.
"My Lord, I am only taking a boat to Nanzhou to do some business. I will return naturally after I am done."
"Oh, is that so? Well, if you have nothing else to do, go ahead and get busy."
"Okay, sir." Hao Bo responded.
Turning around and leaving the hall, he did not forget to say to Siqin, "Madam, the master gave you five taels less silver in the previous game."
Jiang Xiuyuan's mouth twitched. This guy...
Seeing Jiang Xiuyuan's frustrated look, Siqin couldn't help but cover her mouth and burst into laughter. Liuzi couldn't help but secretly admire his father. Such a humble man actually managed to get along well in the Jiang Mansion.
…
Outside Donggu Pass, within the territory of Hu Can Kingdom.
The two armies of Hu Can had passed Liaocheng and Wucheng near Donggu Pass and joined together. Their number was not much different from the intelligence received by Yuchi Zhong, that is, an army of 120,000 to 130,000.
It will take another three or four days to reach Donggu Pass.
The commander, Yuan Minbin, rode a warhorse among the army, with an old Hulangren man dressed differently beside him.
"Marshal Yuan, this time we will join forces and be able to penetrate the heart of Darong and share the rich land of Darong."
"Can you capture Beigu Pass with tens of thousands of troops? I think it seems a bit inappropriate." Yuan Minbin frowned slightly.
"No problem. As long as a fight breaks out here, their troops will be pulled to Donggu Pass. If our men attack Beigu Pass, Darong will not be able to hold on without reinforcements."
"I hope your people are as good at fighting as you say. Don't run away before the battle is over here."
"Of course not. Once we take Beigu Pass, it won't take our cavalry two days to get around here. We can attack from both inside and outside and capture them easily."
The old man smiled very confidently, with a hint of heat in his eyes.
