"Good boy, you are quite capable." Wu Yanxu shook the note in his hand. He had a good impression of Gu Guangming, but he didn't expect that he was also a little hipster.
Seeing Wu Juan's questioning look, he pointed at the newspaper and said with a smile, "It was this Wu Zhuoyi who sent me the information."
"Oh, that's a coincidence. Are you going to look for him?"
"No rush, we'll meet again sooner or later. I'll go buy groceries and make lunch at noon. Come back and eat, then rest at home for a while. When I get to the Municipal Bureau, I'll find another job for you."
"Really, there's no need. This job is great. It's close to home and the people here treat me very well. I don't need to bother looking for another job." Wu Juan likes this job and is usually happy to help patients with things within her ability. Every time a patient and their family thank her and are happily discharged from the hospital, she feels needed.
No matter what job you do, being needed is what makes life meaningful. Everyone here, from the hospital director to the patients' families, speaks highly of her.
Wu Yanxu saw that her eyes were filled with joy, and it was obvious that she was really satisfied with the job, so he didn't say anything more.
"Bring the money. You have to bargain when buying vegetables. Whatever price someone else says is the price. Otherwise, I'll just go buy it during my lunch break. Spending a little more here and a little more there will add up to a lot of expenses in a month."
"Give it here. You said I'll bargain based on the price. If you ask a few more places, you'll know the approximate price range." Wu Yanxu took the money from her and was about to leave, but she stopped him again. "I'm eating at the hospital restaurant. You don't have to cook for me. It's just you and Xiaorui. Buy less and don't waste it. Eating leftovers is not good for your health."
"I know. I'll take care of it. Don't worry. If you're too busy to handle it, remember to call me and I'll come over to help you right away." When Wu Yanxu was there, he often helped Tian pull the bellows to brew wine. Every time, Tian was afraid that he would get tired and never let him do it.
On the way back, he thought that he was still lucky. Both women were virtuous and capable. Tian had Jian Ning and Ding Youtian to help her, and Qiaofeng was also a good girl. They would be able to survive without him. But he didn't know if the boys below would make trouble if he never came back?
Ma Xiaobing was making a fuss at the moment. He had played with the small pistol that Ma Fuquan had carved out of wood for him yesterday and had thrown it into the firewood basket. Tian had gotten up early to light a fire and brew wine. She had not slept since she woke up in the middle of the night and had been awake until dawn. When she put the firewood into the stove, she did not pay attention and threw the small pistol in along with a few pieces of firewood.
Not long after she threw it in, she vaguely remembered that there seemed to be a small pistol made by Ma Fuquan hidden in it. She hurriedly used a fire poker to pull it out, but it was already burnt black.
When Ma Xiaobing found out, he refused to accept it and rolled on the ground, howling at the top of his lungs, insisting that Tian compensate him with an identical one.
"When your father comes back, I'll ask him to carve you another one exactly the same, okay?" When Tian said this, she thought that Ma Fuquan might not come back, her heart ached and tears almost fell.
The next evening, Ah Man returned from the Imperial Tutor's Mansion, happily running to the other courtyard, holding up the hems of her skirt. "Aunt Tian, I have good news for you. My grandfather told me that the Emperor wants to buy lots of your wine. He's also going to use your escort agency and have my second uncle, Xiaobing, deliver it to the soldiers of the three armies."
"Seriously, you didn't hear that?" Tian was excited when she heard that. Her second brother would definitely bring back accurate information. With accurate information, even if that person went back, she would feel completely at ease. It was really heartbreaking to be in such a state of anxiety!
"Yeah." Ah Man nodded several times. "My grandfather told me so himself, and he also asked me to tell Auntie, can I let Brother Yuechan and Sister Yue'e go too? They are both very capable, and I want them to help my mother and father win the battle. I will ask Uncle Fu to find someone to replace Sister Yue'e, so don't worry, Auntie."
"Okay, Yue'e originally came here for you. Your mother told me and I know everything. But Yue'e can't use a sword, so what use would she be of?"
Ah Man smiled slyly, "Sister Yue'e is very capable. She will definitely be able to help my parents when she goes there. You will know later."
"Girl, your father is your father and your mother is your mother. If you say that, outsiders will be confused. Be careful that your second father will be angry." Tian poked her forehead. Although Ah Man was a daughter of an official, she was sweet-mouthed after being with her for a long time. Tian treated her like an older girl and didn't pay too much attention to details.
After putting on winter clothes, Brother Tian Er led the team and set off with wine. They were accompanied by the guards led by Wei Dong. As usual, Ah Man made a fuss. She had made a fuss before when she knew that Da Bao was going too before the army set out. Later, when she knew that Da Niu was going too, this time she planned to let Yue Chan and Yue E go. She simply thought that with her two great protectors, her grandfather would agree to let her go.
The battlefield is a place where blood is shed, so how could the Grand Tutor let her go? Not only did he not agree, he also ordered her to be locked up in the mansion for several days before releasing her.
Two days after Second Brother Tian and his men set out, they heard that the wars in both places had entered a stalemate. After the Dayan army of Yue Kingdom advanced straight into the enemy's territory and captured fifteen cities in a row, Yue Kingdom put up a banner of non-war. Di Rong of Li County in the north also put up a banner of non-war, and agreed to resume the war next spring.
Because the war was suspended and Duan Xinyan was due to give birth in two months, Jian Ning called Erlangzi to rush to the Xing'an County Government Office.
On the way back, she was a little depressed because during the recent attack on the Moon Kingdom, she discovered that ancient people fought like gentlemen except for sneak attacks. Before attacking a city, they would always send a declaration of war and shoot it onto the city wall, agree on a time for the attack, and then start the battle.
Even if a fight breaks out, if one side hasn't formed up its battle formation, the other side will wait for the other side's cultural and sports committee members to reorganize their formation before starting the fight. They will not launch a surprise attack on the other side when the other side is not yet stable.
When the war started, the general would fight first, and after the general decided the winner, it would be the turn of the infantry to fight in groups, swarming forward.
Usually, the morale of the soldiers on the side where the general wins will be high, and they will charge into battle with roars, as if they were assisted by God.
At present, the Dayan Army has captured Haoyi County, and the opposing camp is now Pei Xiyuan's royal army. Jian Ning saw through the telescope that Xiong Er and Suo Wenzhen had arrived. For some reason, they kept hanging up the banner of not wanting to fight. Su Muyun, Qi Pengfei and other young generals went to the city every day to challenge them, but they ignored them. Later, they agreed to fight again after the New Year.
According to Jian Ning's idea, if he didn't respond with a few shots to open the city gate, there would be no point in being polite to the invaders. Only by beating them hard would they behave themselves.
When she put forward this view in the military camp, no one supported her. Even Ding Youtian did not stand on her side, which made her feel like she had made a fool of herself. She cursed Ding Youtian in her heart all the way.
Jian Ning was relieved when they were almost at Xing'an County. The ancients had their own ways of fighting and strategies, and as an outsider, she should still respect them.
"Mother!" It was already evening when she returned to the county government office. Erniu and Sanniu, who were practicing martial arts in the courtyard, saw her and ran over happily. They each pulled her on either side. Sanniu looked up and said, "Mother, our teacher praised you in the academy. When you go back, can you take me and my second sister with you?"
"Oh, what did your teacher praise me for?" Jian Ning asked.
