Chapter 122 Parents Invitation
The jealousy in his words was too obvious. Shen Wangshu listened to it the other way around. He was not angry at all. He just couldn't help laughing: "My husband has known my senior brother for a long time, why do you always take him seriously?"
"Who told him to show up when I'm not with you?" Although he was jealous, Chen Ting didn't dare to make too much noise, for fear that she would get impatient and angry: "These Tianlongjiao seem to be getting more and more unstable, and the time they can speak is also shortened. I'm worried..."
I am worried that it won’t be long before I can no longer use this method to contact my wife.
Compared to modern mobile phones, the functions of Longjiao are still too simple. Shen Wangshu did not rely on it too much: "If it can't be used, then it can't be used. Maybe my husband will be back soon."
Ever since Chen Ting killed two Turkic generals and stabbed Helan Xiu, there has been no movement from that side. Later, the Northern Border Army took the initiative to attack and captured six Turkic cities one after another. They all fled in panic, and there was not even a sign of Helan Xiu - perhaps the Turkic king saw the situation of his youngest son and recalled him from the battlefield, or perhaps he was still planning some sinister tricks.
Of course, the best outcome is that Helan Xiu knew he was no match for the enemy and had already withdrawn his troops.
Chen Ting had discussed these speculations with Shen Wangshu. If there was no movement from the Turkic side in a few months, the emperor might summon him back to Beijing.
As one of the readers with a God's perspective, Shen Wangshu knew that this war would not be so easy to win, and it would not be so easy to return after entering Beijing.
"But I don't think He Lanxiu is someone who can be so easily silenced. Husband, you'd better be careful." Shen Wangshu asked him, "Husband, have you ever thought that if he finds that he can't beat you in the front line, he will come to attack Moyun City?"
Chen Ting said: "I have arranged heavy troops to guard all three routes to attack Moyun. I have left 2,000 heavy cavalry and 10,000 northern troops in the city. The city defense troops are also well-trained. Unless Helan Xiu attacks with the whole country's strength, Moyun will definitely be able to hold out until I can come to help."
After hearing this, Shen Wangshu felt much more at ease - he had to admit that Chen Ting was indeed very experienced. He had made all kinds of preparations before setting off, even taking into account the dangers of Mo Yun City. He was worthy of being the general appointed by the author.
"Madam, are you worried about this?" Chen Ting said, "I have also left a secret guard team for you. There is my token in the secret compartment on the east wall of the study. With this token, you can mobilize all the soldiers I left in Moyun City."
"If ever you feel that the city lord, Xiahou Zhizhou, and even the Rongguo Mansion are untrustworthy, take out this token and go find Chen Long. He will do everything he can to protect you."
"This is the amulet I left for you."
It turned out that before he left that day, he had made so many preparations for himself...
Shen Wangshu was somewhat touched, thinking that his mother's love for him was not in vain.
She was about to say something when the flickering dragon horns suddenly went out and all the sounds disappeared.
"......"
Just hung up?
Shen Wangshu stared blankly at the useless dragon horn for a moment, then sat up and threw it in anger: “Damn it, I haven’t even said I miss him!”
"Why do you miss him?" A young and cold male voice came from outside the door.
Seeing her daughter still looking so unkempt, Taohong trotted forward to stop her from putting on her embroidered shoes, and said helplessly, "Madam, Doctor Zhang is here, why are you still lying there?"
Shen Wangshu stood up and patted her skirt: “Nothing, I was just talking casually.”
"Brother is here? How is my aunt's headache?"
Zhang Dai glanced at her and said, "It's almost the same as last time. Your maid called me in a hurry, and the Duke's wife and I thought something serious happened."
Especially the first lady, seeing Doctor Zhang in such a hurry, she thought she had some incurable disease and her face turned pale with fright. After asking, she found out that he was here for a follow-up check-up.
"Hey, Xiao Taohong, look at what you did. You scared your senior brother and aunt. Don't be so anxious next time. Your senior brother won't be greedy for our dumplings in such a cold weather." Shen Wangshu teased.
"You came to eat dumplings with me?" The cold Doctor Zhang's eyes lit up slightly: "Then I still have time."
Doctor Zhang went out in the wind and rain to see patients all day long. He was so busy that he didn't even have time to eat a good meal. The conditions in ancient times were not as good as they are today. Sometimes after he finished his work and the stall outside was closed, he didn't have the energy to work when he returned home, and his quality of life plummeted.
Zhang Dai is a typical northerner. In the past, he would go to the cafeteria to eat sour soup dumplings as soon as he came out of the laboratory in winter. Even Shen Wangshu was tired of it, but he never got tired of eating it. Now, when he hears about dumplings, his eyes light up.
Since she had made dumplings, Shen Wangshu sent someone to call Chen Hao over to have dinner together, so as to avoid word getting out that she and Doctor Zhang were alone in the same courtyard.
Since Chen Ting left, the number of times Chen Hao came here has dropped sharply. Shen Wangshu often thinks of him and never forgets to send some delicious and fun things over there. When the child received it, he came over and shook his head to thank her, and asked about her Chen Ting's situation.
It snowed today, and the outdoor martial arts class was cancelled. Chen Hao returned home at noon, but when he was called over, he looked unhappy, with red eyes, as if he had suffered some great injustice, and he didn't even smile when he saw her.
"What's wrong? Your little mouth is so pouty that you can hang an oil bottle on it." Shen Wangshu asked curiously, "Who made our young master angry?"
Plates of steaming dumplings were served, but Chen Hao was in no mood to eat. He looked at the snowy scene listlessly, "Something happened in the school today."
"What is it?"
Doctor Zhang buried his head in his meal, and Shen Wangshu slowly and methodically served the child a dish of vinegar and pushed it over: "Eating is the most important thing in the world, and nothing can affect eating."
The young master tilted his head and said, "Sister-in-law, please listen to me first."
"There is a water tank at the entrance of our academy. The bottom of the tank is covered with a layer of pearls. There are some strange transparent fish in it that were tributed from foreign countries. Normally, the teacher does not allow us to get close to it. Breaking the tank is a small matter, but these transparent fish are given by the emperor. We must not let anything go wrong."
"But yesterday the fish died! The jar was broken! The pearls inside were nowhere to be found. Everyone was wondering if someone smashed the jar to get the pearls for money."
"But today, Wei Lanxuan, my mortal enemy, insisted that I was the one who did it, and even found those pearls in my desk drawer!"
At this point, the child was about to cry out of grievance: "I am a bit naughty on weekdays, but I also know the priorities. The teacher forbade me to touch the fish tank, and I have never played near that place. I don't know where those pearls came from. As soon as Wei Lanxuan said it was me, everyone believed it. The teacher even asked my brother to come!"
"I originally... I didn't want to tell you, but if I didn't tell you, the teacher would go directly to my uncle and aunt. Sister-in-law, what should I do now?"
