"You've overcooked these vegetables. This pastry is too greasy. This soup is a bit fishy. This meat is a bit dry. This fruit... it's a bit too sweet!"
Sherry became a little embarrassed towards the end of her speech.
Qin Wuyang was so angry that he scratched his ears and cheeks, looking like a monkey picking lice.
"Why did I agree in the first place?"
"I'm not so poor I can't afford to eat."
"Why would I, who am carefree and independent, need to take on a disciple?"
"..."
Qin Wuyang was washing the dishes while talking to himself. His eyes were vacant, and when he saw Xue Li holding her belly, he almost cried out of grievance.
Why didn't you give birth before you left?
"What do you think?" Sherry thought this person had gone mad with anger.
Qin Wuyang turned around in realization, nodded, and asked, "Then why are you leaving now?"
"Didn't you say it was up to fate?" Sherry was very puzzled, as neither of them had mentioned a specific time.
Qin Wuyang, with his dead fish eyes: "Is this how you use 'fate'?"
"Otherwise what? You didn't ask or make any arrangements, did you?" She thought it was a tacit understanding.
Qin Wuyang lost his temper and took her pulse.
"I'm due in about ten days, should I call my junior sister over?!"
"She doesn't mind that you're sloppy?" Sherry thought of that fiery and beautiful girl.
Qin Wuyang suddenly paused.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, he's already taken the benefits! We have so many ancestors, one more living ancestor won't make a difference. He's just more troublesome than my junior sister... no, he's a living father!"
Qin Wuyang kept muttering to himself as he tidied up.
Shirley lay on the heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed) so sleepy she could barely keep her eyes open.
Qin Wuyang had made some arrangements.
The next day, they moved her to another courtyard, where servants and maids were assigned.
"Do you know the saying 'the darkest place is under the lamp'? The Ming Dynasty will be constantly at war in the future. Even if you want to go out and play, the child has to be a little older!"
Qin Wuyang spoke to her as he drove the carriage.
Sherry's spirit silently observed her surroundings.
This region is plagued by frequent wars, harsh grassland climate, and rampant corruption in the Jiangnan region...
After thinking about it, Sherry decided to find a place to establish a small country.
That's what Sherry thought, and that's what she told Qin Wuyang.
“We can lead some of the common people away. Loge’s business is stable, and he has plenty of food, horses, and weapons. Then, you will be the Grand Tutor!”
Sherry made a big promise to Qin Wuyang.
Qin Wuyang sat there with a desolate back view. After a long while, he let out a soft sigh.
"That's true. The Imperial Advisor is not good enough for you, but you can be my consort. I don't mind that you lack ambition!"
Sherry felt that she was particularly understanding, and she genuinely missed his kung fu.
Qin Wuyang jumped out of the car and turned to look at her, her face red with anger.
"What? You're not afraid of Huang Taiji, are you?! Well, you wouldn't dare to covet someone else's wife, but don't worry, I have nothing to do with him anymore!"
Sherry spoke from the bottom of her heart, and as she talked, she felt more and more happy and even gave him a look.
Qin Wuyang scratched his head, remained silent, and quickened his pace to catch the carriage.
Then, she put aside the things she had arranged at the house, saying she was going to pick up her junior sister, and then disappeared.
Sherry leisurely surveyed the small courtyard. Hmm, there's a kang (heated brick bed), it's warm.
Then, Sherry secretly mixed her own favorite items into all the things Qin Wuyang had prepared.
I don't know what benefits Qin Wuyang promised, but his junior sister and junior brother both came.
She greeted Shirley as soon as she entered.
Sherry was stunned for a moment, then hesitated before agreeing.
She thought Qin Wuyang was just being tsundere.
When Qin Wuyang returned and saw their overly familiar greetings, he blushed and ran away upon hearing them call him "Master's Sister-in-law."
Sherry was somewhat surprised.
After all, Qin Wuyang's ability to get by with his silver tongue was a skill, in other words, his shamelessness was genuine.
I've been annoyed by Shirley many times, probably because I'm worried about her being pregnant. But now I'm blushing. I'm not a young boy anymore, yet I'm still acting shy.
Looking into Xue Li's eyes, Qin Wuyang knew that Xue Li's head was full of bad ideas, and she angrily ignored her.
On March 12th of the sixth year of the Tianming era (1621), Sydney went into labor.
After giving birth to that daughter, Shirley named her Zuofei, taking the name from the poem "Returning Home" (归去来兮辞), which means "to realize that what is right today is wrong yesterday."
During this period, Nurhaci led the Eight Banners in a major offensive against Shenyang, and on the 13th, he captured the city and annihilated 70,000 Ming soldiers.
Loge's letter arrived quickly.
Loge was worried that Haug wouldn't be able to stay calm, so he simply kept it from his brother.
Furthermore, it was claimed that Huang Taiji had already learned of her misfortune.
Huang Taiji was unconscious for half a day before waking up and stayed alone in his tent for a long time.
Send a team of trusted confidants back to the mansion to investigate!
Sherry was too lazy to ask about the details.
I first mentioned her idea.
In this world, the following year, Xu Hongru, a Han Chinese, will lead the White Lotus Rebellion in Shandong. The rebels, using red turbans as their symbol, will capture Yuncheng, Zou County, Teng County, and other places, and establish their own regime.
Sherry initially intended to avoid this mess, but then she realized she could also get a piece of the pie.
Just to see what the kids think!
Should we wait decades to reap the rewards, or should we make arrangements in advance?
Loge was still young, and at this moment he followed Huang Taiji to the front line.
He's gained some experience, but he's still just a child, so he's a little lost.
Sherry tentatively asked Qin Wuyang.
Qin Wuyang's expression at that moment was extremely complicated.
“Our sect has very strict rules! But I don’t like them, so I went down the mountain and went home.”
"Some fellow Daoists are driven by righteousness and engage in worldly battles. Others, however, remain detached and observe, accepting their own karma."
"I want to do my best to raise a virtuous son, but I don't want to do too much. After all, a fledgling eagle has to face the sky on its own."
As Qin Wuyang spoke, the casualness in his eyes was gone.
"Did you foresee that Loge would be that variable?"
"Yes and no. I've known you for so long, and sometimes I feel like you are, but then again, you aren't! After all, we're too familiar with each other, so it's hard to tell."
Qin Wuyang looked at her, his expression somewhat blank.
"Like I said, you teach me kung fu, and I'll teach you the shamanic stuff."
Sherry genuinely couldn't understand what he was saying, and for the first time in a long time, Sherry felt like her tail was about to get tied in a knot.
Let's change the subject.
"Kung Fu is taught from a young age!" Qin Wuyang rolled his eyes discreetly.
"It's okay, I'll take my time!" Sherry was so thick-skinned that she didn't even mind using coercion or seduction when it came to that skill.
Yeah, seduction~
Sherry was so bored during her postpartum confinement that she could only play with the baby.
Then they plotted how to trick Qin Wuyang out of his cultivation technique.
His eldest son was already making plans in his mind.
Upon hearing the devastating news that day, Loge displayed an acting skill that he had been preparing for a long time.
He searched for Huang Taiji with heartbreaking cries, and when Huang Taiji saw Loge's swollen eyes, he couldn't help but hug his son tightly.
"Don't worry, Father will definitely not let them get away with this." Huang Taiji's tone was sinister, and his voice was full of coldness.
