Jiang Jiuniang casually replied, "What's the big deal? After the war, I'll give birth to ten or eight babies, and you'll have to serve me during my postpartum period until I cry!"
Lu Baichuan: ...
There's no need to use a tactic that would inflict heavy damage on both sides.
However, he wasn't that dramatic, and he wouldn't be upset about such things all the time. At most, he was just upset about Peng Yuan's pregnancy and felt that he had wronged his wife.
"It's New Year's Eve tonight, so we have to stay up all night, right? Come on, let's go out and build a snowman!"
The dog is still young and usually goes to bed early, so Jiang Jiuniang naturally wouldn't ask him to stay up all night on New Year's Eve.
I'm different; I've always been a night owl, so staying up all night is nothing to me.
Seeing that she was very interested, Lu Baichuan followed her out.
It's been snowing here, so Lu Baichuan specially made a small shovel for the mother and daughter to build a snowman. They found it and it's ready to use right now.
"Put on your gloves, or you'll get frostbite."
Lu Baichuan acted like a mother hen, but Jiang Jiuniang didn't find him annoying at all. She stretched out her hands in front of him and asked him to put the hair on for her.
Lu Baichuan smiled and carefully put the gloves on her hands to make sure she wouldn't get cold before handing her the small shovel.
There were people on duty on New Year's Eve. The soldiers watched Lu Baichuan and his wife building a snowman so affectionately that they were so envious that tears streamed down their faces.
They didn't think there was anything good about getting a wife before. At most, it would just mean having someone else to do their laundry and cook for them, which they found troublesome.
But ever since Qin Jian brought Peng Yuan with him, and later Jiang Jiuniang also came to the border, they saw how the two generals and their wives got along, and it was completely different from the couples they had in mind.
It turns out that a wife is not meant to do rough work or be used as a maid, but to be cherished.
True feelings are reciprocated. General Qin treated his wife well, so she was willing to travel thousands of miles with them to the border to suffer.
General Lu treats his wife well, which not only makes her willing to come to the border, but also boosts the economy of the small border town.
Even if these two generals weren't that good to their wives, they wouldn't willingly follow them.
Everyone said they had learned something!
Jiang Jiuniang never expected that her New Year's Eve vigil would help so many young men understand the true meaning of love. After working in the snow for a while, she finally built a snowman as tall as a person.
She was supposed to put a carrot where the snowman's nose should be, but she was too lazy to find one, so she just grabbed a big firecracker, stuffed it in, and lit it.
"Bang!"
It was blown to bits.
Lu Baichuan: ...
Others: ...
Jiang Jiuniang laughed heartily, "This is what the New Year's atmosphere should be like!"
Fortunately, knowing that her son was already asleep, she stopped making a fuss. She patted the snow off herself, quietly placed a large red envelope next to her son's pillow, and then went back to lie down and read a book.
Lu Baichuan personally went to inspect the area again to ensure safety before returning. Seeing that Jiang Jiuniang was still awake, he handed her the red envelope he had prepared.
New Year's money.
When Jiang Jiuniang saw the red envelope, a smile appeared in her eyes. But after opening it and counting the contents, her expression changed instantly.
She grabbed Lu Baichuan by the collar and asked through gritted teeth, "Where did you get so much money?"
Even though Lu Baichuan had already given her his entire fortune, the fact that he still had so many banknotes to give her as New Year's money meant that this scoundrel had secretly saved quite a bit.
"If you dare to secretly save money behind my back today, will you be able to keep a mistress behind my back tomorrow?"
Lu Baichuan: ...
In the end, he had no choice but to confess that the money came from suppressing bandits and was given to him by the emperor before the expedition.
This explanation was plausible enough, so Jiang Jiuniang didn't actually go to investigate. She happily accepted the money and continued reading her novel.
She's currently reading a palace intrigue novel. A small incident has caused a huge commotion for dozens of chapters, and the male lead doesn't trust the female lead and often speaks rudely to her.
The female lead is a native of ancient times. Even though she doesn't really like the male lead, she has to keep trying to please him in order to survive in the palace.
She felt sorry for the female lead. If it were her, she would have torn the scumbag to pieces in no time.
She was engrossed in watching the male lead teach the female lead a lesson for the sake of the innocent girl, and naturally had no interest in arguing with Lu Baichuan.
Lu Baichuan watched as she accepted the red envelope without making any gesture and lay back down, feeling a sense of emptiness in his heart.
"Honey, why aren't you asleep so late?"
He moved closer, his hands becoming restless as he embraced Jiang Jiuniang and began to grope her.
"Stop fooling around, we're staying up all night to welcome the New Year."
Jiang Jiuniang rolled over, seemingly not feeling very aroused.
In ancient times, there was little entertainment, and staying up all night was quite difficult. She built a snowman and received red envelopes all night long, and it wasn't even midnight yet.
She was feeling annoyed when she read the novel and came to the part where the male lead was being the most despicable.
"Shall we get moving?"
He spoke in my ear, his voice soft and seductive.
Jiang Jiuniang wasn't in the mood for anything, but she knew she couldn't take her anger out on her own man just because of the scoundrel in the novel.
So she lay down with the book on, looking at it as if to say, "Do whatever you want," while still keeping her eyes on the contents, and said, "Then you can do it yourself, let's each do our own thing."
Lu Baichuan: !!
He's emo!
Oh no, his wife doesn't like him anymore, she's lost interest in him!
His eagerness was instantly extinguished by a bucket of cold water. Lu Baichuan sighed and said, "Then you watch, I'll go out for another walk."
He can't force his wife if she doesn't want to, can he?
After saying that, he put his armor back on and left. Jiang Jiuniang yawned, turned over, and continued reading.
A short while later, chaos suddenly broke out outside.
Someone shouted: "Enemy attack! All troops on alert!"
Jiang Jiuniang didn't move. Her first thought was that it was a good thing they hadn't done it, otherwise it would have been such a disappointment!
Thinking this, she yawned again. She usually didn't find it too hard to stay up all night, so why was staying up all night so difficult?
It seemed like a lot of people had come, and they were quite loud. Jiang Jiuniang was afraid of scaring her son, so she carried the book to her son's little tent and lay down with him to continue reading.
She wasn't worried at all about anything happening outside. The enemy was at their last gasp and would inevitably make many mistakes. Tonight's attack on the camp was just a desperate struggle. She believed that Lu Baichuan, who hadn't been satisfied, would definitely vent his anger on these people and beat them until they doubted their existence.
As expected, at exactly midnight, the chaos outside subsided, the soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield, and Jiang Jiuniang finally put away her book and stepped out of her tent.
"Madam, it's all over now. Nothing happened. Please go back and rest!"
Some soldiers thought she was frightened and came out to check on her, and kindly reminded her.
Jiang Jiuniang smiled and said, "Yes, I know. You guys are busy, don't worry about me."
As he spoke, he pulled a string of firecrackers from his pocket and threw them into the snow. They went off with a series of crackling sounds, leaving everyone around him stunned.
Even if they defeat the enemy during the night raid, there's no need to set off firecrackers to celebrate, that would be so disrespectful!
Jiang Jiuniang explained, "I stayed up all night on New Year's Eve, waiting for the firecrackers to be set off at midnight before I could go to sleep. I was so sleepy."
After saying that, he went back to sleep amidst the soldiers' shocked gazes.
My darlings, starting tomorrow, there will be three chapters every day. I've already prepared the drafts! Here's a call for your suggestions: what other stories would you like to see? Let me know!
