Chapter 149 This Concubine Su has such a bad temper
Maybe it was because Yun Ji had been vegetarian and chanting Buddhist scriptures for many years and had some spiritual enlightenment, or maybe God was understanding and asked Su Rui to perform the whole act.
As she was pretending, she really caught a cold that night.
There is also sunflower water.
But not much, probably because the weather was too cold and she was running in the snow.
Her period was already more than half a month late this time, and she was a little worried. However, she had injured her body while at the border, and her period was irregular to begin with, so it was not uncommon for it to come only once a month. So, she thought of waiting for a few more days, and if it didn't come after a month, she would see a doctor.
Now, I don’t have to make it real with Yun Ji, nor do I have to worry about my period not coming.
So, I just went to sleep and recuperated.
Yun Ji did not come back in the next few days, but Su Rui still heard the news.
Because the entire military camp began to complain, saying that Yun Ji pretended to be knowledgeable and gave blind orders, and emptied the camp's silver reserves to purchase useless things.
Especially at mealtime every day, when tens of thousands of soldiers gathered together, they would criticize Yun Ji loudly.
"That's ridiculous! Why buy so many quilts and cotton-padded jackets? We don't need these things in Yanzhou."
"He's just pretending to know. He's been here for so long and hasn't found any place where he can make a contribution. Now that it's snowing for a few days, he thinks he can show off. The others are all fools. They don't know how to prepare for winter."
"How stupid! You don't even understand what kind of world we are in."
"If you ask me, he's not stupid. He's very smart. Do you think he really came here to be our commander? He came to gild his reputation. He emptied our military silver and bought these things. Not only can he make a profit, but he can also sell them for more if he doesn't need them in the future. Then he can write in the file that he prepared for a rainy day and return to the capital with this achievement."
"That's right. Who is he? Prince Yong, the emperor's younger brother. He can do whatever he wants. How can we, the lackeys, control him?"
"Yeah, women can be brought into the military camp. I heard they were military slaves before and are used to being in the camp...ah!"
Before he could finish his joking words, he fell off the stool and the bowl in his hand fell to the ground, spilling all the food on him.
When I opened my mouth to shout, a tooth fell out first.
It was Zhuiyue who swung the fist, and immediately the soldiers around that person stood up.
"It seems that the Yanzhou military camp really doesn't have to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. Everyone is bored and just gossips about family matters all day long. If that's the case, why should they be soldiers? Wouldn't it be more enjoyable to just sit at the entrance of the village and chat?"
Su Rui said as he approached the dining hall, head held high and chest puffed out, eyes blazing, he was no less powerful than anyone else in the hall, nor did he show any fear of facing tens of thousands of people, instead, he had the aura of a superior.
And her words indeed made many people ashamed.
A group of grown men, the idlers at the village entrance, usually gossip about others, which is indeed shameful, but who doesn't talk about others behind their backs? They not only talked about her, but also Yun Ji.
Who knew that Concubine Su had such a bad temper.
Normally, Yun Ji pretended not to hear anything, but when Concubine Su came, he knocked out a tooth.
"Deputy Commander Shen, right?" Su Rui walked accurately to the dining table where Shen Duo was.
Chen Duo had been in the army since he was a child and was not good at communicating with women. He had no intention of paying any attention to her, but Su Rui came up to him, and he could not give in in front of so many brothers.
He had no choice but to stand up and pretend to be calm and said, "Yes, Concubine Su, what do you want?"
"It's not really an order, but since Deputy Commander Shen is here, he should be in charge of the subordinates. Even if they don't belong to the troops under your command, you still have the responsibility to assist in their management, right?"
Shen Duo looked troubled. He didn't expect that this young woman knew so much about the military management.
Normally, no one would deal with this kind of thing, but now he is being put on the shelf.
How to deal with this.
There were so many people gossiping just now.
It’s just that the people in their army didn’t say it.
Even though he was most dissatisfied with Yun Ji, he disdained to talk about others behind their backs, especially talking about other people's wives and concubines.
Thinking of this, Chen Duo's eyes lit up, and he pointed at the man who had just gotten up from the ground and said, "Those who make irresponsible remarks about military family members should be punished. Drag him away and give him ten military sticks."
The man didn't expect that Chen Duo would punish him, even though he and Yun Ji were the worst match.
But the soldiers from Shen Duo's team didn't give him time to shout. Two of them rushed up and grabbed the man and left.
Others watching heaved a sigh of relief.
The punishment is for making irresponsible remarks about military family members, not for making irresponsible remarks about the commander, so naturally they will be fine.
But Su Rui came up and started beating them. After all, they were just ordinary soldiers. They enjoyed the beating verbally but didn't want the military stick to fall on them. So they all took a few mouthfuls of food and ran away.
Su Rui didn't continue to hold on to her, but turned around and went to the kitchen to get food.
"Five bowls, please." Su Rui put down one or two taels of silver.
The soldiers who were serving food did not expect Su Rui to come here to eat. After a pause, they hurriedly served five bowls of food to her.
"Thank you." Su Rui took the bowl and thanked with a smile.
Most of the people in the kitchen were young soldiers. They had never gotten married and had rarely spoken to girls in the barracks for so many years. When they heard Su Rui's smile, they all blushed.
Everyone watched as Su Rui, Zhui Yue and the other three found an empty seat and sat down. Although the food was not very good and even a bit rough, she did not show any disdain at all. Instead, she ate it more happily than the other four people.
You have to know that the canteen is where all the soldiers and generals eat, but most of the officials have their own small kitchens, and Yun Ji's residence already has a small kitchen.
Yun Ji eats and trains with them every day, which can be seen as a deliberate act, but he is a man after all, and not that delicate.
But this girl, a delicate girl from Shengjing, how could she possibly eat all that? Even if she was pretending, she couldn't eat it so deliciously.
Even though she had been a military slave and suffered hardships in the past, she was now the concubine of Prince Yong. Why should she endure this hardship?
For Yunji?
Just as everyone was speculating in their hearts, another voice came in from outside the door.
He is the Marquis of Yong'an.
Seeing Su Rui clinging to her bowl among a group of men, she immediately felt embarrassed.
Even if her status changed, she couldn't change the bad habits she developed in that remote area. For a woman, and a concubine at that, to show up in public was nothing. It made people think that this was how he educated his daughters in the Yong'an Marquisate.
"Stop eating!" Yong'an Hou snatched the bowl from Su Rui's hand, placed it on the table beside him, and said, "Come out with me!"
After giving the order, Marquis Yong'an walked out angrily.
Su Rui wiped her mouth slowly with a handkerchief, then stood up and walked out.
In just a few moments, the Marquis of Yong'an had grown impatient and asked angrily, "What are you doing here? This is a military camp, not Shengjing. It's not a place for you to mess around. It's really embarrassing!"
