When Shulan arrived at the military camp with He Fengmian, the setting sun on the horizon was gradually swallowed by the night, and the last rays of light shone on the earth, outlining a beautiful picture.
The two did not dismount; He Fengmian led her, while Jingfeng walked slowly.
A gentle breeze blew, easing the daytime heat and driving away the mosquitoes, making it quite comfortable.
The military camp was now quiet, devoid of the daytime noise and drills; patrol squads were marching in formation.
Upon seeing them, they all called out in unison, "General, Madam."
He Fengmian nodded to them, and rode Jingfeng with Shulan along the military camp at a leisurely pace.
As night slowly fell, moonlight bathed the barracks and the entire camp, adding a touch of peace and tranquility to the otherwise somber atmosphere of the military camp during the day.
When they arrived at their resting place, He Fengmian picked her up and said, "You can rest here for the next two days."
"good."
As she landed, he glanced at her with some uncertainty before saying, "You... seem to have grown a little taller."
He knew that she seemed to care quite a bit about her height. Last time, he heard her ask Chen Ma to make her pork bone soup, saying that it could help her grow taller.
I even had Xiao Cui, that little girl, drink with me back then.
Sure enough, Shulan was overjoyed: "Really?"
She said in a very good mood, "No wonder I felt my clothes were a little short before. It seems that drinking more bone broth and exercising more are helpful."
In modern times, due to ample nutrition, it is not suitable to drink bone broth because it is too high in purines. In addition, most modern foods contain hormones, and children do not lack vitamins and nutrients, so there is no need to supplement them.
However, the original owner was too weak, had a very picky diet, and ate like a bird, so naturally he was thin and short.
Now she walks a lot every day, exercises from time to time, and has good nutrition, so she has grown taller.
The thought that she might break 160 made her very happy: "I wish it were longer."
Although she didn't say it, she was always very upset about her height.
I used to be at least 168cm tall, but Xie Shulan's height is probably only 157cm at most.
Luo Chenxuan is only thirteen years old, but he's almost as tall as me.
Not to mention that she looked petite next to this group of tall and strong soldiers, even next to the women in the border town who were all over 165 cm tall.
She was very happy to hear that she had grown taller.
She didn't have many requirements; being between 163 and 165 cm would be satisfactory.
Actually, Xie Huilin is not short either, almost 180cm. Even if Xie Shulan resembles her mother, she couldn't possibly be only 157cm.
It's probably because the original owner ate little, was picky, and didn't like to exercise that she didn't grow tall.
She knew that the second puberty occurs between the ages of seventeen and twenty-five, and that as long as she exercised more and paid attention to her diet, she could promote some development.
I just didn't expect the effect to be so obvious.
Seeing her happy expression, He Fengmian said with a smile in his eyes, "It is quite useful."
Although she is still a little short, we must not undermine her confidence.
Fortunately, General He didn't blurt out his thoughts, and watched as she happily entered the room.
After handing Jingfeng over to the guards, he had them bring over hot water.
Men can just rinse off with water and be done with it, but girls certainly can't do that.
When the guards brought the water over, he personally took it inside: "Just call me when you're done washing."
Shulan knew that this was the inconvenience he faced while in the military camp, but it would only last for a couple of days.
At this moment, soaking in warm water, she was still in a very good mood because of her growing taller.
She couldn't help but hum a song softly as she cried.
Even the people guarding her outside seemed to sense her joy, their expressions softening and smiles appearing involuntarily.
It was too hot to soak for too long in this weather. After Shulan finished washing, she opened the door. He Fengmian was still sitting in the pavilion drinking tea. She could smell the strong aroma of incense, with the scent of mugwort and mint, which was the insect repellent she had brought.
After fumigating, there were significantly fewer mosquitoes.
He Fengmian entered the room and immediately lifted the large wooden tub full of water with one hand, saying to her, "Get some rest."
"Okay, you too." Shulan looked at his muscular arms with envy, clicked her tongue twice, and then lay down on the bed to rest.
Since coming to ancient times, her daily routine has become very regular.
Just as she was about to go to sleep, the Ma family sent someone to invite Shulan.
The steward was very anxious upon learning that Shulan had gone to the military camp.
Uncle Rong had already received instructions and brought him to the clinic.
"But this, this..." Although Butler Ma knew that Doctor Huang Qi was highly skilled, his mistress's health had always been treated by Doctor Shu.
When the young master came, he kept telling me that I must invite Doctor Shu over.
Huang Qi knew his worries and comforted him, "Don't worry, Junior Uncle gave instructions before going to the military camp that if the young mistress has a fever, she should take this prescription. Junior Uncle also said that the young mistress should be able to speak by now."
The butler nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes."
Upon hearing that it was what Doctor Shu had instructed before leaving, the steward happily took the medicine, paid the money, and left.
Once we get back to the Ma family home, we'll explain what happened.
The Ma family was quite relieved and began decocting the medicine.
Seeing her daughter-in-law's fever, Madam Ma comforted her, "With Dr. Shu here, you can relax and just take good care of yourself. Don't worry about Tianyou."
