Chapter 203 Is there going to be a war?
After going down the mountain.
Qiu Man and the others sat in the open space without caring about their image, supporting themselves with their hands on the ground behind them. They were so tired that their backs ached. She shook her head and said, "I'm so tired, so tired. I don't even want to see Song Wang now."
Jiang Nianyin bent his dirty sleeves, feeling quite touched.
She pursed her lips and said, "I haven't thought about him for a long time."
Who is he? Of course it is An Wenzhi.
Sure enough, being busy can make people unhappy, but at least it can distract them from sadness.

Jiusu took out snacks and tablecloth from her bag. Several people went to the river to wash their hands, sat on the ground and started waiting for the snacks to be distributed. She looked at them.
A girl who can be made happy with snacks.
It's so cute.
She said, "Eat as much as you can, there's more left."
The workload these days is very heavy. Jiang Jing went to see the prince off. Oh, she was so tired. She hated the job of seeing people off the most. She had to send the prince out of Fangling. However, she would be back soon.
Jiang Nianyin smiled and said, "Susu, do you think my brother still recognizes us now that he's back?"
Jiusu pondered for a moment. What was the first thing Ajing said to her when he came back?
'Why are you so dirty?'
But in front of her lover, she always wanted to appear beautiful, so she said, "It's okay, I have a mask and a skin care set, and I'll be back in white in a few days."
What girl doesn’t love beauty?
As soon as these words were spoken, several people surrounded him with eager eyes, as if they wanted to eat Jiusu.
Qiu Man took the initiative to hug her arms and said coquettishly: "Oh, sister Jiusu, Song Wang is about to come. I am so ugly, how can I face people~"
Xiuying touched her face and sighed.
"Hey, I'm the proprietress of Jinxiu Pavilion, I dress up so beautifully, but for my sister, I'm willing to dig coal in the mountains. I even turn a blind eye to the man warming the bed at home."
Jiang Nianyin chuckled. There was no one she wanted to see, and her mood sank, but she didn't show it on her face.
Jiusu curled the corners of her lips, it was so cute.
She nodded and coaxed, "Okay, okay, everyone has one, but there are only a few sets. Don't advertise it. I'll give it to you when I get back home."
All the way to the mansion.
Xiuying was too tired and didn't want to leave, so she waited at the gate of the mansion.
Zitan handed over the skin care products, and the three of them looked like they had found a treasure.
Jiusu said: "Wash your face twice a day, morning and night. First use water, then lotion, then cream. Then apply a facial mask every three to five days."
The Qiu Mansion was too big and empty, so Qiu Man and her maid lived in Jiang Mu's Bixia Courtyard. In her words, all she needed was a woodshed.
Looking at the two tired people.
"Go back and rest."
At this moment, Jiusu looked up at the courtyard's plaque and murmured, "Qiyuan Courtyard, Qiyuan... Qiyuan? Qi also means to stay or rest. Is living here fate, or is coming to this era destined?"
The first time I looked directly at the plaque in the yard.
Then she shook her head, perhaps overthinking it.
Zitan's massage was excellent. She pinched the shoulders while Kou Shao beat the legs. The two of them cooperated very well. Seeing that the young lady fell asleep, they quietly left the bedroom, one boiled water while the other swept the yard.
The lady likes quietness.
Apart from them, there were no other servants in the mansion.
For example, Madam Jiang doesn't want a maid either, saying that she wants to be self-reliant and she is happy with it. In fact, they know that Madam and Miss Jiang miss their previous servants.
Kou Shao sighed, "It's a pity that I don't have a pair of iron hands, otherwise I would help the young lady dig coal."
Zi Tan laughed and said, "Silly boy, even a pair of iron hands can't withstand your digging like that. Luckily, Lord Liu and his men have learned how to operate a coal mining machine. They take turns, and the speed is fast and the volume is large, so the young lady doesn't have to do it herself anymore."
She swept the leaves together, remembered something, and squatted beside Kou Shao and said.
"Please inquire more in the next few days. If there is a carriage coming from Shengjing, please tell the young lady immediately."
Kou Shao nodded, "I understand. I've been keeping watch outside these past few days."
The little concern for the two little maids.
Jiusu doesn’t know.
She slept so hard that her waist ached all over. When she woke up, it was dark. She got out of bed and took a few steps when Kou Shao got up and brought her some cakes and hot water.
"Miss, you have slept for two hours. It is already six o'clock in the evening."
They have learned to read the clock.
Jiusu was slightly startled. Two hours, that is, four hours, and she actually slept for the entire afternoon. She took a sip of hot tea, and her hoarse throat felt much better. "Aren't they back yet?"
Kou Shao knew who he was talking about. She shook her head and said, "No, but Master Jiang came back and saw you were resting, so he didn't disturb you. Oh, by the way, Master Jiang was worried that Miss Qiu was in the courtyard, and it would be difficult for him, as a man from outside, to live with her, so he moved to the study and asked me to tell you."
Jiusu stood up and put on her clothes. In ancient times, people paid great attention to etiquette, but she had forgotten this.
Fortunately, Ajing thought about her.
She said, "I'll go see Ajing."
Kou Shao took out her coat and put it on the young lady. She asked, "Are you ready to wash and dress?"
"No, I just need to wash my face." Jiusu put his hands in hot water, cleaned his cheeks, put on a plain dress, tied a cloak, and left.
Isn't it bad for her to disturb you so late?
But she missed Jiang Jing so much that her heart was in a mess and she was very nervous.
The light in the study was on, and she was delighted that Ajing hadn't slept yet, but she also felt distressed. He worked so hard, he would definitely pass the exam!
Boom boom boom.
Jiang Jing put down the pen in his hand, looked at the figure on the door, and curled up the corners of his mouth. He opened the door, and the wind blew her loose black hair.
She wears no makeup, no red hairpins, and is a stunning beauty.
His eyes were deep, pulling people in, and his voice was emotionless.
"Why are you wearing so little?"
He didn't even ask her why she turned dark.
Maybe it was because the night was too dark and she couldn't see clearly. Did she really blend into the night?
Kou Shao carried a lantern and walked into the small house, which was a place for the maid to rest. The young lady was kind-hearted and had added thick curtains. She blew out the lantern and it became dark all around.
She closed her eyes and dozed off.
Waiting for the lady's instructions.
Jiusu smiled and said, "This cloak is thick, I'm not cold."
She sat on the wooden chair and saw him reading the letter, so she didn't turn the page any further.
Jiang Jing ran his fingers through her hair, feeling the delicate tingling sensation on his palms, which disturbed his thoughts. He opened the envelope and said, "A letter from my father. The war situation at the border is very tense."
Jiusu asked in surprise: "Is there going to be a war?"
Jiang Jing shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Every year around the end of the year, they want to harass us for a while, making it difficult for us to have a good year. That's when they're happy."
"How abominable!" Jiusu snorted, "Wouldn't it be better to be peaceful?"
Jiang Jing analyzed, "General Bai is becoming increasingly frail, and he no longer possesses the lofty ambitions he once had. The surrounding smaller states are all eyeing him covetously, hoping to get a piece of the action. Chen Zhao could have taken his place and become the most powerful general guarding the border, but unfortunately, he's just a figurehead, merely a decorative figure, and now that he's been exposed, he'll likely face the Emperor's wrath."
Jiusu nodded, digesting this sentence and asked.
"Will General Bai not be punished for exaggerating?"
"No." Jiang Jing guessed, "Now that the border is in crisis, the emperor will not punish the old general. If there is no one in the court, oh no, even if there is someone, the emperor will send the old general to garrison there."
