Chapter 889 This is a different price
On the eve of the Lunar New Year, just as dawn was breaking, Lin Yuesha was awakened by the bugle call of the soldiers waking up.
After washing up, Lin Yuesha sat in front of the bronze mirror and frowned at her waist-length hair.
"Bai Cha, go to Wang Binglan and borrow the jade for me. Tell her I need her to help me comb my hair."
Lin Yuesha was envious of Biyu's craftsmanship. On New Year's Eve, she accompanied Qi Heng to inspect the troops, wearing a new padded jacket, wanting to make herself look prettier.
Lin Yuesha applied a light layer of powder and lip rouge to her face. Looking in the mirror, she was not overly glamorous, but her makeup made her complexion look good and she appeared energetic. She was very satisfied.
After waiting for a while, Bai Cha returned alone, without Bi Yu's shadow behind her.
"What, Wang Binglan won't lend anyone?"
Lin Yuesha looked disappointed. She could go to Wang Binglan and ask Biyu for help.
"Miss, it's not that Wang Binglan is unwilling to lend people, but that Biyu has fallen ill."
Bai Cha went to Wang Binglan's courtyard. The courtyard was quiet. She thought that Wang Binglan and her servant had not gotten up yet and was about to leave when she smelled a bitter medicine soup coming from the tea room.
Bai Cha ran over to take a look and found Wang Binglan busy preparing medicine for Biyu.
"Biyu was perfectly fine yesterday, how did she fall ill?"
Lin Yuesha was very puzzled, so she had no choice but to settle for second best and hand the comb to Bai Cha.
"I don't know. When I was helping to bring the medicine, I saw Biyu lying on the bed, staring blankly without moving."
Biyu's reaction startled Baicha, who nearly dropped the medicine bowl in her hand.
Bai Cha asked Bi Yu several times about tips for combing hair, but Bi Yu acted as if she hadn't heard and didn't react at all.
Bai Cha wanted to ask more questions, but Wang Binglan politely asked her to leave. In short, something was amiss. Biyu didn't seem to be sick; rather, she seemed to be possessed.
"The surrounding hundreds of thousands of soldiers are full of masculine energy, and evil spirits dare not come near them."
Lin Yuesha gave Bai Cha a flick on the forehead. The little girl reads supernatural tales until late every night; don't think she doesn't know that.
“Miss, I’m not lying. Biyu really has a problem.”
Bai Cha stomped her foot, deeply disappointed that the young lady didn't believe her.
"Alright, whether Biyu is seriously ill or possessed by an evil spirit, it has nothing to do with us. Today is New Year's Eve, so we should celebrate in a lively atmosphere."
Lin Yuesha, wearing a cloak, was the first to walk out the door, and she came face to face with Jiang Baozhu.
"Sister Baozhu, Happy New Year!"
Lin Yuesha clasped her hands together and offered New Year's greetings to Jiang Baozhu.
In the Northwest Camp, there weren't many formalities. Soldiers exchanged New Year's greetings, clasping their hands in greeting, skipping all the complicated procedures.
"Happy New Year, Sister Yue Sha."
Jiang Baozhu returned the greeting, then took out a red envelope from her sleeve and said with a smile, "This is your New Year's money."
Do I still have any New Year's money?
Lin Yuesha felt a sense of novelty, recalling how her family in the north wasn't very well-off, but even so, her parents and relatives would always prepare a meal for her.
“You’re younger than me, so of course I’ll give you New Year’s money.”
Jiang Baozhu stuffed the red envelope into Lin Yuesha's hand. Seeing her red lips and white teeth, she couldn't help but pinch her cheek.
"Sister Baozhu, this is a different price."
Lin Yuesha pointed to her face and emphasized.
Hmph, if you want to touch her face, you'll have to pay extra. What Jiang Baozhu just gave you was just New Year's money.
"well!"
Jiang Baozhu's hands were itching, so she pinched the left side and then the right side, then turned and ran away, laughing, "Put this money on the tab!"
"No, no credit!"
The accounts need to be settled by the end of the year; otherwise, it will be delayed until next year.
Lin Yuesha persisted, relentlessly pursuing Jiang Baozhu. The two sisters pounced on the snowdrift, laughing and frolicking together.
"Moonlight Veil".
After waiting for a while without seeing Lin Yuesha come out, Qi Heng had no choice but to come and pick her up himself.
Lin Yuesha and Jiang Baozhu's laughter carried far. Qi Heng stood there for a while before calling out to them.
"Wait a moment while I tidy up."
Yesterday, I agreed with Qi Heng that we would first pay New Year's respects to the Prince of Luo, who holds the title of uncle, and then to Madam Xu and the elders of the Protector General's Mansion.
Bai Cha's hairstyling skills were lacking; after Lin Yuesha ran around, her hair was still disheveled.
"I'll do it."
Helpless, Qi Heng brushed the snow off Lin Yuesha, picked up a comb, and took the initiative to comb her hair.
"You can do this too?"
In less than a quarter of an hour, Lin Yuesha's hair was neatly combed, adorned with a hairpin and a few silk flowers, making her look both cute and playful, yet also dignified.
Lin Yuesha couldn't help but stare at Qi Heng, her brows furrowed in thought.
Qi Heng is skilled at drawing eyebrows, painting, music, hunting, and roasting chicken. He can even comb a woman's hair. In addition, he is highly skilled in martial arts, wealthy, and has businesses. He is practically the husband that every young girl dreams of. Of course, those skills are basically standard features of a scumbag.
A scumbag only studies this when he wants to deceive a woman.
"You said that some people are born different and have talent, which is something that others can only envy."
Compared to the others, Qi Heng was simply more talented.
Combing hair is not difficult. He had seen Bai Cha comb Lin Yuesha's hair before, and he could do it in no time. With his own improvements, it was no problem at all.
That's true.
Lin Yuesha couldn't find a reason to refute it, so she could only agree dryly.
The young couple headed straight for the military camp, with Qi Heng walking attentively beside Lin Yuesha as they walked together.
"Have you provoked Wang Binglan again these past two days?"
This morning, Wang Binglan went to find Wang Jinhu and met Qi Heng, who had gotten up early.
When Wang Binglan saw Qi Heng, she didn't greet him and immediately turned and left, which was extremely rude.
Having spent many years with the brother and sister, Qi Heng prided himself on understanding people's hearts. Wang Binglan always put on a brave face, and no matter how embarrassing things had been before, she would stubbornly pretend that nothing had happened.
However, Wang Binglan has already acted strangely several times recently.
Qi Heng wasn't doubting, he was certain.
Because of the Wang siblings' identities, their subordinates kept a close watch from a distance.
Yesterday afternoon, only Wang Jinhu and Lin Yuesha went to Wang Binglan's courtyard.
Do I have that ability?
Lin Yuesha shrugged innocently and said, "I was talking to her to relieve my boredom."
Qi Heng expressed his understanding, saying that the little girl had been rebuffed by him yesterday and had gone to tease Wang Binglan instead.
"This morning, I asked Bai Cha to borrow Bi Yu to help me comb my hair. I heard that Bi Yu is bedridden and it seems to be quite serious. Didn't Wang Binglan ask Sister Yan to go over?"
Lin Yuesha cleared herself of any wrongdoing. Wang Binglan saw that Qi Heng was avoiding her, which was Qi Heng's problem and had nothing to do with her.
"No, but I got some news."
Yesterday, Young Master Yang found Biyu and, under the pretext of asking about Wang Binglan's preferences, gave Biyu a spiked tea, and then raped her.
"This is a military camp. That pig-headed guy has some nerve!"
Although Biyu was an enemy, Lin Yuesha couldn't bear to see a woman being treated like this. Biyu and Wang Jinhu were already engaged, so how could Wang Jinhu swallow this insult?
"He can only suffer in silence."
We are waiting to do business with the Yang family; at least for now, Young Master Yang cannot be allowed to get into trouble.
If Wang Jinhu couldn't be more patient, he wouldn't have been able to hide in the military camp for so long without Qi Heng discovering his identity.
