Chapter 428 You wish! No way!
Jiang Nuanzhi: "."
If she remembered correctly, Ta Yun must be at least twenty years old this year.
Shouldn't he listen to what nonsense he's spouting?
Before Jiang Nuanzhi could speak, the strategist beside her couldn't help but burst out laughing. He was immediately glared at by his general, covered his mouth, and stood obediently to the side.
Jiang Nuanzhi sighed softly, "I will stay at the Lu residence for the next two days. If there is any movement from Ta Yun, the general can let me know later."
"Hey? Physician Jiang, what are you doing staying at the Lu residence? Why don't you stay at our camp? The large tent the general used to stay in is still reserved for you." General Wan said, glancing furtively at Li Rong's expression. Li Rong, however, was looking at Jiang Nuanzhi, clearly listening to her.
Jiang Nuanzhi was both amused and exasperated: "Madam Lu's illness still needs to be carefully observed. We can't delay there. Ta Yun is fine here. Isn't there a veterinarian? I think the two uncles are quite capable; they should be able to take good care of Ta Yun. If you're really worried, why don't you bring Ta Yun to the Lu residence as well?"
As Jiang Nuanzhi spoke, she found it rather amusing.
"Hey? That's a good idea."
Upon hearing this, General Wan's eyes lit up: "It's settled then. I'm sure Lord Lu won't refuse my request to stay for a couple of days."
General Wan then took Ta Yun's hand himself and called back, "Military Advisor Chen, Little Tiger, you two come along. Take some gifts and we'll go to the Lu residence to celebrate properly. Let's go straight to the Lu residence for the banquet."
Jiang Nuanzhi's brow twitched: "General Wan, isn't this inappropriate? The Lu residence is still very busy right now."
“Perfect! Absolutely perfect!” General Wan continued, “You don’t know, there were some really nasty rumors circulating in and around the city. They said that Madam Lu’s belly was abnormally large, that she was carrying a ghost child, and that it was an ominous sign. Some even said that it was because Old Lu was an unjust official that his wife was in this state. In short, the rumors were as nasty as they could be. Today, this banquet will let everyone know that all that talk about ghost children is just nonsense. It was just an illness that has been cured.”
Jiang Nuanzhi paused for a moment, then nodded: "That makes sense, but Madam Lu can't withstand any more trouble right now, let's talk about it later."
General Wan scratched his head, wanting to say a few more words of advice, but then he saw Li Rong looking over and said, "Let's do as Anuan says. General Wan should stay at the camp. It's an important military camp. What general wouldn't be stationed here?"
Upon hearing this, General Wan immediately looked like a wilted eggplant, hanging his head dejectedly and saying, "General, you've been in our city for the past few days, haven't you? There won't be any problems at the camp. Um, next time we hold a banquet, I'll take Ta Yun and move in first. Don't worry, I definitely won't disturb you and Physician Jiang when there's nothing else to do."
Li Rong, however, did not listen to what General Wan was saying at all. His gaze was fixed on the food box that Military Advisor Shen had given to Jiang Nuanzhi, his eyes deep.
The next second, he reached out and took the things that Chen Junshi had given him: "Thank you."
Jiang Nuanzhi had just exchanged a few pleasantries with Shen Junshi when Li Rong suddenly came up beside her. She was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then I'm in for a treat today."
Strategist Shen smiled and said, "Don't be so polite. I bought more than a dozen kinds of pastries here, all of which are the most popular in Canglin City. I thought I'd bring them all for you to try. Tell me which ones you like, and I'll pack some more for you."
Jiang Nuanzhi was pleasantly surprised. She hadn't eaten enough in the morning, and when she opened the food box and saw such beautiful pastries, she couldn't help but pick one up and take a bite. Then she kept nodding and saying, "Delicious, really delicious."
She had just eaten a piece when she turned around and met Li Rong's slightly resentful gaze.
Jiang Nuanzhi: "?"
"Dr. Jiang, Dr. Jiang, Madam is awake! She's awake!"
Just then, a servant from Lord Lu's residence came running over, excitedly shouting.
Jiang Nuanzhi didn't care about anything else for a moment: "Arong, let's go back."
"good."
Li Rong answered decisively. He then led Jiang Nuan onto his horse.
General Wan hurriedly led Ta Yun out from behind, saying, "Quick, quick, keep up!"
The strategist glanced at it and asked, "General, has General Li agreed? Won't he be angry if we follow him like this?"
General Wan rolled his eyes: "What's there to be angry about? I have a lot to report to you, General. Everyone in the capital is waiting for his news. Hurry up and pack your things, let's go together."
"Hey!" Shen Junshi happily ordered someone to fetch something, completely unaware that Li Rong, riding ahead, gave him a deep look.
...
"Haha! Brother, you're amazing! Run faster, run even faster!"
Baozhu's soft, sweet laughter echoed along the riverbank in Qingquan Village.
At this moment, Xiao Er was playing on the frozen ice, pulling his ice sled and sweating profusely.
Baozhu sat in the big ice sled, clapping her little hands incessantly, her face turning bright red.
The ice sled was made for them by Jiang Nuanshang some time ago, but it had been snowing all the time, so they hadn't had a chance to go out and play on it.
Recently, out of boredom, the old man and Uncle Xin cleared out a patch of ice so that Little Treasure and her friends could skate and play there.
The waiter turned around and saw that his little sister's hands were red from the cold. He kept rubbing her hands and said, "Little sister, where did your gloves go? Are you cold? It's getting late, let's go home."
Baozhu shook her little head like a rattle drum: "My hands are cold, but I still want to play. Brother, I haven't played enough yet. I want Grandpa Xin to take me flying!"
"Baozhu, be good. Grandpa Xin is at home watching the house. Your brother will take you out to play later."
"No, no, brother, then I don't want Grandpa Xin anymore, can you play with me a little longer?"
Xiao Er hesitated for a moment, then pulled off his hat to protect Baozhu's little hands: "Okay, let's play a little longer."
Baozhu looked at Xiao Er's ears, which were red from the cold, and then at her own little hands covered by her hat. She glanced at the ice sled with some reluctance and said, "Let's not play then, brother is cold. We can play again tomorrow."
Then, she stuck her little bottom out and tried to get up from the ice sled, but the next second she fell flat on her face.
The waiter was startled and quickly picked up the little girl.
"Little sister, are you alright? Pfft!" The next second, unable to hold back any longer, she burst out laughing at the sight of the smudged snow on Baozhu's face!
"Brother!" Little Baozhu stomped her feet in anger.
"Hey? Old Xin, come back here! Where are you running to!"
As the two children were talking, they suddenly saw a figure flash by, followed by an old man running after them.
"Waiter! Quick! Stop your Grandpa Xin! He's gone mad again, saying he wants to save the general from dire straits! Hurry!"
The waiter was startled and immediately told his sister, "Baozhu, don't run around. Your brother will be back in a little while!"
As he said this, he nimbly passed through, trying to stop Uncle Xin, but Uncle Xin turned his foot and Xiao Er slid several meters across the ice, failing to catch him.
Baozhu looked at the others, then happily got on the ice sled, clapping her hands incessantly.
"Go, go! Go, brother! Oh, Grandpa Xin, go! Don't get caught! Hahaha."
The fight was fierce, and soon they disappeared without a trace.
Baozhu wasn't afraid. The riverbank was very close to her home; she could see her front door. She wasn't in a hurry. Holding an ice pick, she clumsily slid forward, having a great time.
"Hey, Li Baozhu, get off here, I want to play this!"
Suddenly, a childish little girl's voice came from behind. Baozhu turned around with difficulty, her little brows furrowing immediately: "You wish! No way!"
