There wasn't much Yue Jiuyue could do, because she was just an ordinary liberal arts student who knew nothing about science and could only manage to pass by sheer luck.
Therefore, she couldn't produce firearms, or even advanced cold weapons. She could only make the most basic things, such as food and cotton, hoping to ensure that the soldiers could be well-fed and clothed. That was all.
Back at the inn after leaving the street, Yue Jiuyue casually put down the things she had bought, poured herself a cup of hot tea, blew on it before carefully taking a sip.
hot.
The tea was brought over by the waiter when she came in; it's so hot, it must have been brewed with freshly boiled water.
Oh well, she's not one to fuss over these things anyway. The fact that she had water to drink right after coming back from her stroll means the innkeeper's service was already quite thorough.
The water felt hotter the more Yue Jiuyue drank. She took off her outer garment, lay down on the bed, and her mind started to race again.
The border town, the war, they won.
If—she was thinking, if the original owner's second son were still alive—would there be news of him after the victory in this war? Or would he be able to return?
In the past, when people won battles on TV, didn't they always return to their capital and be rewarded for their achievements?
Although not all of them can come back, the return of some will allow the soldiers' families to see them and put their minds at ease.
Yue Jiuyue also wanted peace of mind.
Only when she saw Lin Chaoxi standing in front of her, full of energy and vitality, could she truly feel at ease.
I just don't know if that day will ever come.
Hearing this, Yue Jiuyue lost interest in continuing her shopping. The next morning, after breakfast, she left the city and drove her oxcart home. She was no longer in the mood to chatter with the ox and remained silent the whole way.
"Mother! Why did you go out alone without a maid or servant? Don't you know we're worried about you?"
Wang Xiaoxue didn't go out today. Ever since she came back last night and learned that her mother-in-law had gone to the county town by herself, she has been waiting at home anxiously.
She was thinking that if her mother-in-law didn't come back today, she would definitely have Lin Chaodong drive her to the county town to find her tomorrow!
Unexpectedly, my mother-in-law didn't linger and came back early today. It seems she started her journey home this morning.
After all, the scalper's speed was really slow, not much faster than her walking, so it just saved her effort.
"Yeah, I was just thinking of going out for a walk by myself. Next time I'll bring someone with me."
Why take someone with her? Just so others won't not know her identity?
It's already quite unusual for a rural old woman to be able to drive an oxcart to the county town by herself, let alone have maids and servants at her beck and call. Who wouldn't guess her identity?
She went out for a stroll to relax, not to be made a fool of.
However, whether she can do it or not is one thing, and whether she agrees or not is another. She just wanted some peace and quiet, so it wasn't a lie.
"Mother, you only bought this much stuff on your trip? Did you not enjoy your shopping? How about we ask Brother Chaobei to drive us to the city another day? I've never been to such a far place as the city before!"
Wang Xiaoxue looked on with longing.
