"What is this?" Su Wenyue asked as she looked at the large boxes that Han Yu and his men carried in.

Han Yu went out early this morning and came back only at this time, carrying several large boxes in with him, looking very mysterious. No one knew what was inside. Could it be the items seized from the attack on the mountain stronghold? Su Wenyue just thought about it. She had heard other officers' wives say before that, generally, when their men went out to fight or on missions, only a small part of the stolen goods were handed over to the court openly, and most of the rest were divided privately. Otherwise, with just the monthly food and salary, most people could not even afford to live in this area, because not everyone had a family as wealthy as hers to give a dowry.

Su Wenyue had only heard of it before. Han Yu had also been on missions before, although the number of times was small, but he never brought back any captured items. She didn't know if it was because the missions assigned to him were really not profitable, or if there were other reasons.

"This was seized from the mountain stronghold. A small portion was handed over to the court, and most of it was kept for distribution. This is my share. I picked out some of the useful ones and brought them back. The rest has been placed in a proper place. I didn't expect that this group of bandits had not occupied there for too long, but they actually found a lot of good things. It can be seen that they are all cruel and ruthless. It is not unjust that they were killed." Han Yu said, as if he felt that this topic was too bloody and not suitable to be discussed with his wife.

"See if any of these things are usable. If so, keep them. If not, use them as gifts for people or during the New Year. This saves you from having to spend money to buy them separately. Han Yu knows that there is a lot of money spent during the New Year every year. Even when his wife tries her best to save money and saves money in other ways, sometimes when he wants to make friends with colleagues or superiors, he cannot be too stingy.

"Okay, just leave it there and I'll take a look at it later." Su Wenyue thought that she had guessed right, but she was not very interested in the things she found in the bandit's lair.

However, even if he didn't like the things he got from the bandit's den, he should still put them away. It would be great to use them as gifts. Su Wenyue never had that kind of lofty idea. This was also a rule in the military camp, which was tacitly accepted by everyone. If Han Yu didn't accept it, he would appear to be out of place, or people would think that Han Yu had some deeper ideas and would be isolated and guarded against by everyone. So being an official is also a science. Whether you can be a good official or not is not something that can be achieved just by working hard to do practical things. There is a gray area in the officialdom that is not so black and white.

"Okay, you can take a look at it later. Anyway, it's all in your hands."

Su Wenyue didn't take Han Yu's words to heart. She had seen a lot of good things in her two lifetimes. Moreover, even if the things found in the bandit's den were valuable, they could not be said to be good things. Su Wenyue had high standards and only opened the boxes later to check the classification. However, she didn't expect that there were so many good things in the bandit's den. Han Yu didn't lie to her.

The several large boxes contained not only silks and satins, but also jewelry and jade, as well as many ancient books and calligraphy and paintings. What made Su Wenyue most happy was that there was also an ancient book about the inheritance of embroidery skills. Compared with the techniques used in this era, this book recorded an unprecedented needlework method, which was superior in both technique and embroidery effect. If she learned it, her embroidery skills would definitely be improved to a higher level.

Han Yu saw that Su Wenyue's eyes were glued to the ancient embroidery book. It seemed that his wife really liked embroidery. Ever since Han Yu knew that Su Wenyue embroidered day and night to earn money, he was not willing to let Su Wenyue embroider. However, if Su Wenyue really liked it, he would not stop her. She just had to be careful and not damage her body and eyes.

Su Wenyue was fascinated when she took the book, a bit like Han Yu's state when he got the military book. She was originally squatting to flip through things, but this time she felt a little numb from squatting, so she simply sat on the ground without caring about her image. As a result, the book in her hand was taken away by Han Yu, and she was also picked up.

"Look at you! You have to be sensible in everything. How can you just sit on the ground like this? It's so cold and the ground is very cold. How can you not care about your body?" Han Yu didn't care about the rules. He just couldn't stand Su Wenyue not caring about her body. Although it was just a small matter, he still scolded Su Wenyue.

"Haha, didn't I forget? Besides, I'm wearing so many clothes that I don't feel cold." Su Wenyue said with a smile. Although she was still thinking about the explanation of acupuncture techniques, it was just a thought in her mind. She didn't dare to ask Han Yu for the book at this time, otherwise she would be scolded again.

It took Su Wenyue, Li Ma and a few others nearly an hour to pack up several boxes of things. Han Yu had been called out by then, and he was in a hurry. It was not known whether something happened in the military camp. However, Su Wenyue saw that Han Yu did not look unwell, so he thought nothing should have happened and did not take it to heart.

Lan Xin and Lan Fang have worked hard these days. Su Wenyue picked out some items that young girls can use. The clothes made for Lan Xin and Lan Fang have been made. They are exquisite and beautiful. Even Su Wenyue likes them very much. Li Ma and Chen Ma also praised them: "Madam's embroidery skills are getting better and better. Look at the flowers embroidered on these clothes. They are just like the real ones."

"Yes, with such beautiful clothes, I'm afraid Miss Lan Xin and Miss Lan Fang would not be willing to wear them even if they got them."

Su Wenyue smiled, she was very happy to be praised for her embroidery. The clothes were matched with several embroidered handkerchiefs and shoes of the same color. The handkerchiefs were embroidered by Su Wenyue, and the shoes were made by the embroiderer according to Su Wenyue's instructions. They looked really good together. Su Wenyue sent them to the two sisters immediately, along with several things she picked out from the box. Lan Xin and Lan Fang were very happy. Most importantly, they liked the two sets of clothes made by Su Wenyue herself and couldn't let go of them.

The clothes and attire of concubines' daughters were all allocated to them, which were neither too bad nor too fancy. They would only wear such exquisite and beautiful clothes when they followed their mother to banquets, seeing the pampered daughters of other families wearing them. Girls who didn't love beauty would be extremely envious, and they had never expected that they would be able to wear such beautiful clothes at this time. These clothes were even more beautiful than those made by the most famous Neon Pavilion in Chang'an City. The two sisters immediately put on the clothes and tried them on.

"It looks pretty good. I thought that measuring with the naked eye might not be accurate, but the size is just right." Su Wenyue said with a smile. However, she always felt that something was missing. After taking a closer look, she found out that the hair accessories on Lan Xin and Lan Fang's heads did not match the clothes.
