Chapter 296 Instant Noodles
"Okay! I'll have someone call Zhu Yixuan over for questioning. If there's no problem, I'll have them get married before the spring plowing season."
Cen Li stood up and asked, "Brother, how long will this war last? Can you get promoted again?"
Cen Yingfan looked into the distance, his eyes becoming more profound. "We have fought several battles this year, and Longxia has never won. We should seize the opportunity to pursue our victory. Perhaps the war will be over before the snow falls."
But doing so would inevitably provoke a desperate counterattack from the Longxia Kingdom.
But he didn't say these words.
Cen Li was overjoyed, "That's great, I will go back and have someone prepare Mingzhu's marriage, and I will send her off when the war is over."
He loves and fears Cen Mingzhu. No one would have an easy life if this ancestor stayed in the Cen family, so it would be better for everyone if he married her off as soon as possible.
Cen Li agreed.
The fact that Zhu Yixuan was called over by Cen Yingfan could not be hidden from other people in the camp.
Song Yongnian received the news and mentioned it to Shen Yi, "Brother Shen, General Cen's family has just arrived for a while, and Zhu Yixuan was called over. Do you think their marriage is successful?"
Shen Yi pursed his lips tightly, but said nothing. He just looked at the sky and asked, "According to the date, Brother Liu and the others should be here soon!"
Song Yongnian nodded, "Maybe in ten days or half a month. After all, they have a mission to accomplish and they are carrying so many things, so they have to go slowly."
Shen Yi was silent. In ten days or half a month, the war would start again.
While he was thinking, he keenly sensed a cold gaze, and when he turned back, the other party quickly lowered his eyelids.
Shen Dagou said beside Shen Yi: "It's Xiong Kai. This guy is really interesting. He's like a rat in the gutter, always staring at you. Can he deal with you? It's ridiculous!"
Shen Yi thought about the current battle situation, his face was serious, "It's hard to say, he is best at playing tricks behind the scenes, you should also be careful."
Shen Dagou and the others all nodded.
What Shen Yi didn't know was that his brothers had already wanted to kill Xiong Kai, but they just kept it from him.
After ten days or so, Liu Jianzhang and his men finally arrived at the military camp.
This time Shen Yi took the lead in looking for it.
When Liu Jianzhang saw him, he immediately smiled and said, "General Shen Xiao is well-informed! I have only been here for less than a quarter of an hour and you have come to find me. This time, I have your things, so I will send them to you first."
Shen Yi was a little surprised, "Before, they always sent us things before the New Year. What did they send us this time?"
Zhaohua County is too far from the border, and food and other things cannot be delivered when the weather is hot. They don’t need warm clothes, so sending things is a waste of money. Shen Yi came here just to ask Su Tai if she had given him a message.
Liu Jianzhang explained, "They are all food that can be stored for a long time. I was actually a little nervous, wondering if they would go bad, but Madam Shen kept assuring me that they would not go bad, so I had to accept them. There are also some medicines for injuries, and some small gadgets made by your young master and young lady."
Shen Yi listened for so long but didn't get the point, so he couldn't help but ask, "Did my wife ask you to pass on a message to me?"
"Yes, yes, let me see." Liu Jianzhang flipped out a booklet with some scribbles on it. Shen Yi couldn't understand it anyway, so he slowly said, "Mrs. Shen said that the cousin who is temporarily staying at your house has married a gentleman. The gentleman is very kind to them. The whole family left Zhaohua County and went to other places. You don't have to worry.
Also, Mrs. Shen said that there are only her and four children at home now. Your father-in-law will occasionally go over to help. The children are very sensible and can take care of each other. Everything is fine at home, so you can rest assured. We hope you will return safely and the family will be reunited.
"General Shen, your wife is really sincere to you! What she said should be true. At least everything is fine in your family. She was in a really good mood when she came to see me!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yi laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth, and asked by the way: "Did my wife bring the children with her?"
Liu Jianzhang shook his head. "No, Mrs. Shen went there in a carriage, and she brought a lot of things with her. It's impossible for her to bring the children with her. But she told me some interesting stories about the children. If you are interested, I will come to chat with you after I finish my work."
"Thank you!" Shen Yi thanked him solemnly and helped Liu Jianzhang distribute the things.
After Liu Jianzhang left, Su Sheng and the others immediately surrounded them. This time, only Shen Yi received the things from home, and they didn’t get any, so they probably had to wait for the next trip.
Shen Yi opened two large boxes in front of them, one of which was filled with food, including bread, dumplings, sesame cakes, and packages of instant noodles.
These things were custom-made by Su Tai at the Fire Time and Space Food Street. They have a shelf life of about half a year, especially the instant noodles, which were developed by a small noodle shop. The packaging is simple, but the taste is good and can be stored.
Su Tai only discovered this good thing this year, and most of the box sent over this time was instant noodles.
The directions for consumption are on the picture on the packaging bag.
Several big men gathered together to study it for a long time, eager to try it out.
Shen Yi let them do whatever they wanted and opened another box.
What surprised him was that what was placed on the top was actually a set of inner clothes. The stitching of the clothes seemed a bit immature and awkward, and it was obviously made by a novice. He quickly unfolded the clothes and found a few words embroidered on it: "Made by Shen Yuezhang himself."
Chen Yi's eyes were filled with tears and he hugged the clothes lovingly. Under the clothes were some money, jade, and the children's gadgets.
When Su Sheng saw the dress, he was so jealous, "Why do you say that daughters are thoughtful? I wish my daughter could make a dress for me."
Shen Yi quickly took off his clothes and changed into them, "Yes, there will always be one."
Su Sheng was not comforted at all. He turned around and went to make instant noodles, thinking out of sight, out of mind.
When Shen Yi put on the clothes made by Shen Yuezhang, he found something was wrong. It was certain that the clothes were made by a child, but the material was neither silk nor cotton, nor linen. It was very tough, thin and close to the skin. It felt like he was not wearing anything when he put it on, but it was magically warm.
I guess this is new material that his little Tai got from somewhere.
Chen Yi had new underwear and smiled at everyone he met, which frightened the soldiers below.
When Xiong Kai learned that Shen Yi had received things from his hometown again, his resentment deepened. If Shen Yi hadn't interfered, the Su family would definitely not have canceled the engagement so easily. As long as the Su family didn't cancel the engagement, he would have compromised and married Su Tai under pressure, and now everything Shen Yi had would be his.
It’s all Shen Yi’s fault!
Zhu Yixuan came to find Xiong Kai. Seeing his gloomy face, he knew why without thinking. "Xiong Kai, General Cen just came to me. The Marshal intends to end the war before the snow falls this year. There will be a fierce battle later. General Cen hopes that I can make merit on the battlefield. He will ask for merit for me. You have to help me clear all kinds of obstacles. Do you understand?"
