"Wife, thank you for your hard work on this day off." Han Yu felt sorry for his wife, but necessary communication between colleagues was indispensable. After eating and drinking, they naturally became more familiar with each other. Originally, Han Yu wanted to treat everyone to a table in the restaurant, but everyone insisted on coming to his house. It was also because his wife had prepared a lot of food for him when he went to the military camp before. Han Yu generously took it out and shared it with everyone. Everyone knew that he had a good wife who was good at cooking.
"Husband, why do you say such things? We are husband and wife, so how can we talk about hardship or not? It is my duty to take care of things for you. Wouldn't it make it seem like there is a rift between us if you say this?"
Su Wenyue was afraid that she couldn't help Han Yu, and now she had the opportunity to use her cooking skills to bring him closer to his colleagues, so she was happy. She knew that Han Yu was sympathetic to her pregnancy, and that she had already passed the first three months, and the baby in her belly was healthy, so she didn't need to be too careful. Besides, she had Nanny Chen and Xiaoxi to help her, so she just cooked a dish, and it wouldn't be too hard.
Han Yu originally just wanted Su Wenyue to make the arrangements and let Xiaoxi do the cooking. Xiaoxi's cooking skills are pretty good now with Su Wenyue's guidance, but Su Wenyue decided to cook by herself to show her sincerity, and there were several dishes that Xiaoxi could not cook.
On the day of rest, two large tables of people came. Han Yu's hard work during this period was not in vain. In addition to managing the people below him well, he also established many relationships in the military camp and developed his own power.
As the hostess, Su Wenyue naturally had to come out to meet the guests. Just like Liu Zhaoshi when they first met Su Wenyue, they all thought that Han Yu's wife was a country woman who only cared about her husband and had little knowledge. Her only advantage was her good cooking skills. But when they saw Su Wenyue, they realized that they were wrong. Such conversation, temperament, character and appearance could not be produced in the countryside. After some inquiries, they found out that Han Yu's wife was actually a lady from the Su family. No wonder.
Many people knew about Master Su, because Master Su had a big business and was deeply involved with some people in Chang'an City. He was not just a businessman. No one in Xinye County dared to offend the Su family. Captain Han was actually the son-in-law of the Su family. No wonder a farmer who had no fame could suddenly become an eighth-rank captain. It turned out that there was such a big backer behind him. This was not surprising. However, even with the help of the Yue family, Han Yu himself was very good in both character and ability, otherwise he would not have been appreciated by the upper seal. He was a very promising young man, which was why they were willing to make friends with Han Yu.
After knowing Su Wenyue's identity, Han Yu and other colleagues treated her with much more respect. They were very happy to see Su Wenyue cooking for them even though she was pregnant. Both the host and the guests enjoyed the meal very much. When they left, Su Wenyue even prepared a portion of "specialties from her hometown" for everyone. Except for the pedantic Lord Fang, everyone else happily took the food and left.
"Wife, you must be tired."
Han Yu sent his colleagues away one by one, and then immediately came over to serve his wife. His wife was a great contributor today.
Su Wenyue was not very tired. She had seen the skills of Mrs. Fang before, and when she met Lord Fang today, she paid special attention to him. There is a saying that people from the same family stick together. Compared with Mrs. Fang's self-esteem, Lord Fang also has the arrogance of a scholar. Among so many people who came today, only Lord Fang was independent in words and deeds, and was particularly unsociable.
"My husband, why did you invite Lord Fang here? I don't think Lord Fang is a person worth making friends with. He is pedantic and ignorant of the ways of the world, and his mind is not good either. Although he is arrogant, he does not have the integrity of a scholar. Don't you dislike associating with such people on a daily basis?" Su Wenyue asked the confusion in her heart.
"My wife is really smart. I don't really want to make friends with this Lord Fang, but I have a reason for doing this. Lord Fang has some history. Although he has fallen into decline in his generation, his great-grandfather was once a powerful general. General Huwei had great military exploits and rich experience in leading troops on the battlefield. He made many contributions to our daming family."
"So you made friends with Lord Fang just for this General Huwei."
"General Hu Wei wrote down his experience in leading troops in a military book and passed it down. I want to get this military book through Lord Fang."
Han Yu did not hide his purpose from Su Wenyue, otherwise he would not have tolerated Lord Fang for so long. He thought he had read a lot of books on his own and was talented, and he was going to do something big. But now that he has entered the military camp, he realized how arrogant he was. He still has a lot to learn. Although Lord Fang is pedantic and can only talk about military affairs on paper, some of his words are very insightful, which shows that he has read the military book. If those strategies can be applied flexibly, they will definitely be of great value.
"So it's for the military book." Su Wenyue's mind moved. She had also heard of the military book left by General Hu Wei, but according to that person's evaluation, although General Hu Wei's military book was good, it was not as good as the Sun Tzu's Art of War and the Thirty-Six Stratagems passed down by the ancestors of Concubine Li. Those were the real unique skills handed down from generation to generation. As long as one learned 30% of them, they would be of endless benefit, not only on the battlefield, but also in other places. Whenever that person came, he would ask her to read Sun Tzu's Art of War and the Thirty-Six Stratagems to him. As a woman, she didn't understand them very well, but she also felt that some of the strategies were very useful.
"In fact, the military book left by General Hu Wei is not the best. If you want to seek personal gain, you don't have to use General Hu Wei's military book. There may be better ones, but you just don't know it."
When Han Yu heard his wife say this, his eyes flashed, and the sense of mystery that had always existed on his wife emerged again. He knew his wife so well now. The subtext of her words was that she had a better military book. General Hu Wei's military book was already extraordinary, and many people wanted to get it. His wife actually had a better one. Han Yu, who was always calm, couldn't help but get excited.
"I saw those two military books in my grandfather's library when I was a child. One is called The Art of War and the other is called Thirty-Six Strategies. I don't remember where I put them, but fortunately I still remember the contents. I'll write them down for you." There were many flaws in Su Wenyue's words, and she knew it herself. However, she already had enough flaws in front of Han Yu, and she didn't care about this one more. Fortunately, Han Yu was not the kind of person who liked to get to the bottom of things. She knew that Han Yu had discovered some things a long time ago but just pretended not to know. If she didn't say anything, Han Yu wouldn't ask. This was a tacit understanding and trust. Now she only thought that Han Yu would be more powerful than in his previous life after getting these two military books.
