Chapter 555 Invulnerable Bulletproof Vest
"Cousin, cousin-in-law!"
Zhao Sidan came out from the side room and greeted politely.
Hearing the noise, Shen Zheng came out and blinked, saying, "Wow, married people are really different. There's a smile in your eyes and on your lips. I've never seen Brother Cheng like this before."
Situ Man stood up and said with a smile, "You are Xiao Zheng, and you are Si Dan, right? I have prepared a gift for you both."
She took out two purses from her sleeve and handed them to her two younger brothers, one cousin and one adopted cousin.
Shen Zheng smiled and accepted it, saying, "Thank you, cousin-in-law."
Situ Man is two years younger than him, but he feels no pressure in calling her cousin.
Zhao Sidan said loudly: "I wish my eldest cousin and his wife will live happily together until old age."
Cheng Wanwan came over and said with a smile, "The lighting in the new house was bad yesterday, so I couldn't see clearly. Today I realized that you two look like a perfect couple."
"Really?" Situ Man continued, "My eldest sister also said that my husband and I have some similarities in our facial features, and that we are a perfect match..."
Cheng Zhao's face suddenly turned red. His wife was really outspoken.
Cheng Wanwan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Granny Qi and the servants chuckled softly. Once they had finished laughing, they brought out tea for the newlyweds to serve.
Cheng Wanwan took out the wedding gift that Cheng Yuanyuan had prepared for her niece-in-law: "This is a wedding gift from Aunt Zhao'er. See if you like it."
Situ Man opened the box; inside was a set of jewelry. She immediately smiled and said, "Auntie has such good taste! This set of jewelry is so beautiful."
Cheng Zhao glanced at it and immediately understood: the silver he gave to his aunt had been exchanged for jewelry and given to his wife by her.
He suddenly felt mixed emotions.
Cheng Wanwan took out the gift she had prepared, a set of lotus-themed jewelry that she had bought in a shopping mall. It was exquisitely crafted and very beautiful.
Situ Man fell in love with it at first sight and couldn't wait to put the bracelet on her wrist.
"As long as you like it." Cheng Wanwan smiled gently, "How was your rest at the Cheng Mansion last night? Are you used to it?"
“My husband takes good care of me, and my grandparents and parents are all very easy to get along with.” Situ Man’s face lit up with a smile as she spoke. “My mother said that my biggest task is to give my husband a child as soon as possible. He’s already twenty this year, and we can’t delay having children any longer…”
Cheng Zhao: "..."
Cheng Wanwan: "..."
This girl is only fifteen years old and she is already thinking about having a baby. It is really too early.
She quickly changed the subject and said, "Zhao'er, this is something that Lord Zhang asked me to do. Please find a time tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to deliver it to Lord Zhang for me."
Cheng Zhao took the letter and said, "Don't worry, Second Aunt, I'll go to the Zhang Mansion tomorrow morning."
After Cheng Zhao and his wife left, Cheng Wanwan woke up Zhao Sanniu, who was still fast asleep, because she had to send the boy back to the military camp today.
Yesterday was Cheng Zhao's wedding. This guy insisted that he had developed a high alcohol tolerance in the army and kept helping to fend off drinks. As a result, the groom had been up for most of the day, but this best man was still fast asleep in bed.
Zhao Sanniu was called up, and after having a hearty meal, he was about to return to the barracks.
Cheng Wanwan prepared a lot of things for him and Cheng Bing, including various non-perishable foods, some new clothes to wear underneath, and two bulletproof vests.
This is a special material bulletproof vest she bought in the mall. It can stop bullets and naturally also resist swords. She hopes it will be useful in a critical moment.
“Even if it’s hot, you have to wear it under your clothes,” Cheng Wanwan instructed. “You and Cheng Bing each have one, and you’re not allowed to take it off at any time except when you’re taking a shower.”
Zhao Sanniu touched it and knew it was a good thing, so he immediately nodded in agreement.
Cheng Jia prepared the car, and Cheng Wanwan personally sent the two back to the military camp.
The carriage drove to the gate of the military camp. As soon as he got off, the people at the gate of the tent saluted in unison: "Greetings, Captain Shao!"
Cheng Wanwan looked up and saw a mighty man in his thirties also dismounting from his horse. Captain Shao, couldn't that be Shao Hua, He Xiao's subordinate?
The third brother had been taken care of by this Captain Shao in the military camp. He hadn't run into him last time, but now that they had, he had to thank him.
She jumped out of the car and said with a smile, "Captain Shao."
Shao Hua turned around and saw a woman in a long skirt standing at the gate of the military camp, standing with Zhao Sanniu and Cheng Bing.
Zhao Sanniu quickly introduced: "Captain, this is my mother."
Shao Hua's pupils shrank: "So you are from Sui'an."
He looked left and right, and seeing no suspicious people, he spoke, "Thank you, Sui'an people, for saving our general. I will never forget your kindness and will definitely protect your third son with my own life!"
"Commander Shao, you flatter me too much," Cheng Wanwan said hastily. "I have already repaid He Xiao's life-saving debt, so let's not bring this up again. I did stop Commander Shao because of my son. My son is a bit careless and doesn't think things through. I hope Commander Shao can give him some guidance. I have prepared a gift for you, Commander Shao, and I hope you will accept it."
She turned around and bought a bulletproof vest from the carriage, actually from the mall. She didn't dare to buy other weapons. She had already bought two bulletproof vests, so it wouldn't hurt to buy one more.
Shao Hua wanted to refuse, but when he saw the breastplate, his eyes widened. This was really a good thing... It was the most powerful breastplate he had ever seen, invulnerable to swords and guns, and immune to water and fire. He wouldn't mention the price of the shirt because the other party was unwilling to sell it, and they hadn't even come to the stage of negotiating the price. In short, the starting price would be at least three to five thousand taels of silver.
But now, the people of Sui'an have just casually given him one.
As a martial artist who could go to the battlefield at any time, he simply couldn't refuse, but he couldn't accept it because it was so valuable.
He was about to speak and tell Zhao Sanniu to put it on.
“Captain, Cheng Bing and I have them too.” Zhao Sanniu pulled down his collar. “I’ve tried them. Even the sharpest spear can’t cut through them, and fire can’t burn them…”
Shao Hua: “…”
One piece is already shocking, but there are three.
The people of Sui'an are indeed extraordinary.
"You guys go in, I'm leaving now." Cheng Wanwan lifted her skirt and got into the car, waving to Zhao Sanniu, "Remember to write home every few days, and Mom will come to the capital to see you again when she has the chance..."
Zhao Sanniu waved his hand forcefully, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably.
He had been away from home for more than half a year, and he really missed home. This time, his older cousin was getting married in Beijing, so he was able to see his family once. He didn't know when he would see them again...
"You're a sixteen-year-old boy, but you're crying like a six-year-old." Shao Hua deliberately teased, "Wipe your tears and go in for training."
After saying that, he turned and walked inside.
Zhao Sanniu wiped his tears embarrassedly and was about to catch up when a chestnut horse came galloping, raising thick dust, and stopped at the gate of the military camp.
A young man in his twenties sat on the horse, pulling on the reins and coldly saying, "Does Commandant Shao have a problem with me, Ye? He turned around and left as soon as he saw me. What, is he so unwilling to let me come over?"
Shao Hua turned around, frowning: "There are horses racing all day long on this training ground. I really didn't know that Master Ye was here."
This Lord Ye is a principal officer in the Ministry of War, holding the rank of sixth grade. A sixth-grade official should, in principle, bow to him when he sees a fourth-grade captain. However, Lord Ye's younger sister is extremely favored in the palace. Once, a third-grade military officer in the army had a conflict with Lord Ye, and as a result, he was confined to his quarters by the general the next day.
From then on, no one in the army dared to provoke Ye Lingbo anymore.
"It seems Commandant Shao really has a lot of grudges against me." Ye Lingbo dismounted, a smirk playing on his lips. "A year ago, Commandant Shao was demoted from the third rank to the fourth rank. If I were to say a few more unpleasant things to the General, Commandant Shao's career would be over. Let's see how you'll act all high and mighty then!"
After He Xiao colluded with the enemy and committed treason, all of his former subordinates were demoted, and Shao Hua was one of them.
These former subordinates had a difficult time in the army after being demoted, because the general kept an eye on them and any slight movement would arouse the general's suspicion.
As long as he could bring down Shao Hua, then the fifth-rank deputy captain of their Ye family would have a chance to be promoted...
