Chapter 113 What's So Good About Her
The implication is, don't worry, Mom, I don't want to beat him up during the New Year, provided that he doesn't provoke me.
Li Mingyue looked at her worriedly, then looked at her silly second son, shook her head and left.
Bai Li thought about the previous topic and said, "Dad, let me calculate how long it will take for the imperial edict to reach us.
The Emperor is not in the capital right now. If he returns to issue an order to send it here, wouldn't it take more than a month or two to arrive?"
"This is still fast. The emperor is very busy, and it will probably take some time for him to remember."
Bai Li smiled slyly, "No, as soon as he returns to the capital, I guarantee he will think of us first. The imperial edict will arrive soon."
Bai Zongren was startled and immediately shouted, "The Emperor is the ruler of a country, how can we guess what he is doing?"
"Dad, the emperor has something to ask of me. He's even more anxious than I am!"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
"Little sister, be careful with your words!"
Bai Erlang and Bai Zongren, father and son, tried to stop Bai Li in unison, but Bai Li just shrugged his shoulders and didn't take it seriously at all.
Bai Dalang looked thoughtful and looked at his younger sister with an inquiring look.
Zhou Yu silently ate the various pine nut, hazelnut and walnut snacks brought back by Bai Li on the table. Her expression was indifferent and no one knew what she was thinking.
The Bai family happily finished their dumplings and continued to stay up all night to celebrate the New Year. Bai Erlang refreshed his understanding of his younger sister.
All the meat, flour and snacks on the table were bought by her.
But why hadn't he seen the wine, various dried fruits and many other things that she brought back from Simon?
On the way back from Simon, he and she stayed in the same carriage day and night. He knew every crack in the carriage clearly, and there was no such thing at all.
Bai Dalang glanced at his younger brother who was frowning and nitpicking.
There were so many things he had never seen before, for example, when his younger sister came home, there was always more meat and rice than he could eat.
But no one saw her carrying food into the house.
Later, he and his family reached a consensus that since his younger sister worked hard to earn money to buy food for the family, they should not question her and just get used to the extra things from time to time.
After all, everyone saw with their own eyes that she was able to go hunting in the mountains during her exile, and she could use part of the silver she earned from the prey to bribe officials and part to buy food, so that her family did not suffer much along the way, and arrived safely at the place of exile without being hungry or cold.
After experiencing the drastic changes of having their property confiscated and being exiled, the Bai family was able to have a prosperous and peaceful reunion year. Everyone was happy from the bottom of their hearts.
They recalled the time when they were exiled, when they were bullied and alienated by relatives and friends, when the engagement between Bai Dalang and Bai Li was broken off, and the various crises they faced on the road to exile. If it weren't for Bai Li, they couldn't imagine what would have happened to their family.
So, that night, the Bai family members all thanked Bai Li at the same time, which made Bai Li feel embarrassed.
"Hey, are you still embarrassed?"
"Brother, are you itching for a fight? Let's go have a sparring match."
"No, no, forget it during the New Year."
It was a rare time during the New Year when the villagers had some free time, so he made an appointment with the young men in the village to go up the mountain to play. He didn't want to go out with panda eyes and be laughed at.
Bai Erlang was puzzled again. Why was everyone afraid to spar with his little sister? Would his little sister cry if she got beaten?
Yes, it must be.
Although his younger sister also practiced martial arts since she was a child, she was afraid of hardship and fatigue, and her skills were barely better than his mother's, and she was not even as good as Bai Wulang.
In the past, when she competed with everyone, she would quit if she was defeated in one move. Now she is crying?
Alas! No wonder so many people were afraid to spar with her. He had to teach her some lessons when he had time, so she could at least learn a few more moves and not be afraid to spar with others.
Bai Erlang was convinced that his younger sister was not good at martial arts, so everyone was afraid of her crying.
This realization later caused him to suffer a lot at the hands of Bai Li, and only then did he realize how wrong he was.
The Bai family was in a peaceful and joyful mood, and Zhou Yu also spent a different New Year with the soldiers in the military camp.
When he came back from Bai's house after eating and drinking to his heart's content, he found out that the only New Year's Eve dinner in the military camp consisted of two slices of beef because it was the New Year.
I heard that the soldiers usually only ate some wild vegetables and steamed buns, while there was all kinds of luxury and waste in the palace. I couldn't help but feel full of guilt.
Seeing Zhou Yu sad, the queen patted his arm and comforted him, "The emperor is busy with many affairs every day, and it is inevitable that the officials under him will withhold military pay without noticing. In the future, the palace should cut down on expenses, pay more military pay to these soldiers who defend the country, and improve their meals." The queen dressed up as an ordinary peasant woman and came to the military camp with Zhou Yu and Nan Gong Min's cousin couple to join him. No one suspected anything.
After all, those who had seen the emperor and empress were all of the third rank or above, and there was no one else in the barracks except Nangong Min.
Even Shangguan Yu revealed the news only because Nangong Min asked him to protect the emperor closely.
Zhou Yu returned the Queen's hand with relief, "The Queen still understands me."
The queen was his aunt's cousin, and they grew up together and had a deep relationship.
Moreover, the queen cared about the world and did not engage in intrigue with the women in the harem. She was truly a model mother of the country.
What Zhou Yu was most satisfied with was that the queen understood him and always stood behind him silently to support him when facing difficulties. This made him feel that having the queen was enough.
The emperor and empress rested in Nangong Min's tent, and Nangong Min went to squeeze in with Shangguan Yu.
Shangguan Yu and Nangong Min returned to the barracks, and Shangguan Ying immediately came to greet them.
"Brother, where did you take the Major General? I've been waiting for you all night!"
"You haven't eaten yet? We've already eaten at Bai's house."
When Shangguan Ying heard that she had waited all night with an empty stomach, and her brother took Nangong Min to Bai Li's house for New Year's Eve dinner, she was about to get angry again.
Shangguan Yu saw her gloomy face and knew what she was going to do without him saying anything.
"We have guests tonight. If you want to make trouble, go home and find your parents!"
"Brother, how could you do this to me? I'm your sister!"
"I was waiting for you with an empty stomach, and you actually went to Bai Li's house to eat. What's so good about her that you don't even care about your own sister!"
Nangong Min rubbed his eyebrows and turned to walk out.
"Shangguan Yu, I'm going to find a place to rest tonight. You two brothers should stay up all night long!"
"Hey, Major General!"
"Brother Nangong, where are you going?"
Shangguan Ying wanted to chase after him, but her brother grabbed her arm.
"That's enough! It seems like you've forgotten everything I told you before!"
"What's the matter with me? I can't even speak a word?"
Shangguan Ying looked aggrieved. Not only did Nangong Min ignore her, but her brother even yelled at her instead of coaxing her!
"Why? You didn't treat me like this before."
Shangguan Ying wiped away her tears and said, "I remember now. Ever since Bai Li entered the military camp, you have all ignored me and always spoken in her favor. What's so good about her?!"
