Ayu-seok glanced at his adjutant with disdain, a sense of superiority welling up inside him.
He rarely showed such emotion, and his adjutant next to him was immediately dumbfounded.
If I remember correctly, his adjutant got married just a few years ago.
Now there's only one brat in the family.
Of course, they wouldn't understand the joy and satisfaction of having a delicate young girl make a purse for them.
Although his wife also gave birth to a boy, he has a niece!
However, he was never the type to nag. He cleared his throat, straightened his shoulders, and said to him, "This was made for me by the young lady of the house. Children's bones are still soft, how could they hold a needle? You can't let him do this again!" His tone sounded like he was blaming him, but it made people feel even more uncomfortable.
The adjutant beside him seemed to have been attacked and froze for a moment.
This is no longer his wise and capable superior; he's clearly just someone trying to show off in front of him! How childish!
It's just because there's a girl in his family... Okay, he doesn't have one in his family... But he's not envious at all of this, not even a little bit!
Ayu-seok ignored him and continued walking inside with the package. He read the letters over and over again. Several of the letters had been sent together and opened in the middle—he was used to it. Letters sent to military camps like these were usually carefully checked before they could be received.
So basically, none of these letters arrived in his hands intact; they had all been opened and inspected.
Some of the writings were from his wife; they hadn't seen each other since March was born.
In the letter, she talked on and on about what was happening at home. Looking at her neat handwriting, it was as if his wife was standing in front of him, caring about his daily life.
Ah Yu-seok's eyes softened, and the longing in his heart began to spread again. However, for someone of his status, he had no say in anything.
He had to be present wherever needed to protect the Qing Dynasty.
He now only hopes to return to the capital as soon as possible to see her—the capital is so prosperous, and life is so peaceful. He doesn't have to endure the yellow sand outside, and he can live a more carefree life.
Ayuxi couldn't bear to ask her to continue coming to the frontier to stay with him.
Then came Father's letter, which mentioned some recent events, including the Emperor's order to attack the Dzungars. Father's letter was the shortest; Ayuxi knew that conversations between two people were usually quite sensitive, so he couldn't write too much, and he absolutely couldn't make any mistakes.
Finally, Ayuxi read through his mother's notes again. It mentioned that the purse was made by Jingrou, so Jingrou hoped he could always carry it with him, just like she was by his second uncle's side.
These words were written by Hesheli right under Jingrou's nose.
In other people's eyes, she can't write yet, so her grandmother has to do it for her.
In fact, she really couldn't write. When she was in the study, she picked up a pen and tried to write, but her writing was crooked and messy. Her hands were too delicate, and she couldn't hold the pen properly. She was also afraid of hurting her hands.
The purse was actually mostly made by Jingrou's wet nurse, who assisted her. Of course, she also personally dried the flowers and stuffed in the spices herself.
After receiving the light blue purse, Jingrou felt it was still a bit plain (she later regretted her unnecessary actions), so she wanted to learn how to sew a bamboo sachet—she had seen Wenying sew one before, and with just a few light strokes, the bamboo sachet appeared!
Moreover, Wenying has been learning for a while, and her bamboo embroidery is quite impressive.
I never imagined that bamboo, which looks so simple, would be so complicated in practice!
The final product was a crooked and uneven one.
Although Jingrou felt a little guilty, she couldn't care less. After all, her uncle wouldn't dislike her, right?
In addition to the dried flowers she had dried herself, she also used the handkerchief she had received from the system to wrap up the extremely precious pills she had exchanged for system points and put them inside.
Ayu-seok smiled; he could already picture what the little girl looked like. Although the two had never met, they exchanged gifts and letters constantly.
Whether it was local specialties from the Western Regions that he had prepared himself, or things from the frontier, or trinkets he had captured on the battlefield, Ayuxi never hesitated to send them back.
He was overjoyed to learn that his sister had given birth to a lovely baby girl, but things didn't go as planned...
However, they had overcome all the difficulties in the past. Now the little girl was staying in Prince An's mansion, and he would be able to see her when he returned to the capital.
Thinking this, Ayu-seok carefully placed the purse made by Ching-rou into his sleeve. He paused for a moment, then felt that this place was not safe enough, so he placed it directly on his chest.
This is the closest spot, and it will also protect the purse the little girl prepared for herself perfectly, making sure it doesn't get dirty.
This place is also the least inconvenient; if he wears armor in the future, a small pouch won't be a problem, as he can put it inside.
After Ah Yu-seok finished organizing all the items that had been sent, he led the soldiers out on patrol.
The thought of having to sort through these things when he got back that night, and the care and concern he received from his mother and wife, made his steps feel much lighter.
Several small ethnic groups roam the mountains and forests of Sichuan. They are all brave and skilled in battle. They have Mongol blood and are not tolerated by the locals. Almost every villager is capable of fighting.
If that were all, it would be better.
They are unproductive, lack education, and frequently rob people along the way. They are particularly ruthless in their attacks, and over the years, hundreds and thousands of people have lost their lives here.
After being besieged and suppressed by the government several times, they actually wanted to rebel. Local officials were worried that they would cause even bigger trouble.
The government could no longer suppress the rebellion, so they sent Ayuxi and his men, who lived relatively close by, to quell it.
They have only just settled here, and because they came in secret, they need to remain hidden for a while longer.
