"Ah..." Yang Haiyan screamed.
With Yang Haiyan's scream, Nanny Lian and Aunt Yu woke up. They didn't even put on their outer clothes, but ran out in their inner clothes.
Qin Fang was wiping his face. When he heard his wife's cry, he ran over and hugged her: "Yanyan, what's wrong with you? Did you have a nightmare? Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Yang Haiyan gasped in Qin Fang's arms. Her heartbeat was a little fast, thump thump. At that moment, she opened her eyes and saw someone sitting in front of the bronze mirror with his back to her. She was really scared.
She couldn't sleep in the first place. She finally counted sheep and fell into a daze. As a result, she turned around and was scared to death.
As for Qin Fang, he walked in very quietly to avoid waking Yang Haiyan, and tried not to make any noise, so that the dazed Yang Haiyan didn't know that Qin Fang had entered the room.
Knock, knock, knock...
Nanny Lian knocked on the door outside: "Are you okay, my lord?"
Qin Fang said to the outside: "It's okay, I had a nightmare, I'm here."
Nanny Lian was relieved when she heard it, and said to Aunt Yu: "Go down." Then she turned around and heard the guards coming outside the yard. Nanny Lian said to the guards outside the yard, "It's okay, it's okay..."
Hearing Nanny Lian's voice, the guards continued to patrol.
Inside the house, Qin Fang gently patted Yang Haiyan's back: "Yanyan, are you feeling better? It's just a nightmare, don't be afraid."
Yang Haiyan finally calmed down and pushed Qin Fang away: "Are you sick? What are you doing sitting in front of the bronze mirror in the middle of the night? Do you know that scaring people can kill them?"
Qin Fang: "... I... I didn't know I scared you, Yanyan, I'm sorry, my wife, I thought you were asleep." His wife didn't have a nightmare, but was scared by him? Qin Fang suddenly felt shocked.
Yang Haiyan was really furious. The shock just now made her angry: "You are simply sick, mentally ill."
Qin Fang flattered: "Yes, yes, it's my fault." He stepped forward cautiously again, "Yanyan, don't be angry. It's not worth it to get hurt."
Yang Haiyan said angrily: "Of course I will get hurt..." Wait, she moved her nose, "Come here, get closer."
Qin Fang approached: "Why...why ?”
Yang Haiyan grabbed his clothes and pulled him to her side, then stepped forward and smelled his face. Suddenly, the thought of dinner came to her mind again. She reached out and touched his face. The slippery touch was indeed: "Qin Fang..."
Qin Fang knew that he was exposed when Yang Haiyan pulled him to smell it. He hurriedly said: "Wife, I can explain. I have my reasons. I didn't use your stuff on purpose."
"Shut up." Yang Haiyan smoothed over, "I recently found that I put less stuff on my face. Is it you who used it?"
Qin Fang gritted his teeth: "Yes, but I have my reasons." Otherwise, why would he, a big man, put this stuff on his face? It would be uncomfortable to smell it every day.
Yang Haiyan: "So you also apply this when you sit in front of the bronze mirror at night?"
Qin Fang also felt aggrieved: "Yes." Is it easy for him to do it secretly?
Yang Haiyan recalled what he said about whiteness during dinner, and felt that she had discovered a big secret: "Do you think you are too dark, so you want to make yourself whiter?"
Qin Fang nodded, then shook his head: "Yes... no, I am not doing this for myself, I am... this is for our daughter."
Yang Haiyan was originally very angry, and when she heard his answer, she was stunned: "For our daughter? What do you mean?"
So, Qin Fang talked about what Shen Lixian said about sons taking after their mothers and daughters taking after their fathers: "I... I am not worried that our daughter will take after me after she is born and grow up too rough? So I... I..." Qin Fang's face, which was several degrees tanned by the sun, was a little red, but it was at night, and Yang Haiyan could not see it.
Hearing this reason, Yang Haiyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She wanted to say that even if Qin Fang rubbed his face to make it smooth and tender, it would not be like that on his lady. In the end, she could only sigh heavily: "Don't worry about this, I should worry about this. Lord Shen is teasing you. You are so smart, how come you were fooled by him?" Moreover, she had already selected vitamins and calcium tablets suitable for pregnant women on the platform, so she only had to worry about it. If Qin Fang was allowed to worry, she felt that a good lady would become a rough man.
Qin Fang was stunned: "Really? Then...what if the daughter takes after me?"
Yang Haiyan looked at his tall and strong figure. If the daughter takes after him, "What's wrong with you? If she takes after you, the daughter will grow taller. And look at Siya, Qiuya and the others. None of the daughters in our Qin family are ugly."
Qin Fang thought about it and it was true: "If she really takes after me..."
Yang Haiyan: "...How about this, don't apply it on your face secretly in the future. I will prepare some whitening products for you tomorrow. If you can't change your appearance, then at least make your face whiter, don't you think?" In other words, she was just comforting this stupid father. People say that women become stupid for three years after pregnancy. Why is it that when it comes to her, she is not stupid, but Qin Fang is stupid?
Qin Fang smiled when he heard it: "Yes, yes, that's right."
So the next day, Qin Fang got up and washed his face with rice water and applied cucumber to his face under Yang Haiyan's instruction.
When Nanny Lian saw this, she was shocked. If Xiangjun hadn't been so calm, she would have almost thought that the general was possessed by a ghost last night. Nanny Lian quietly walked behind Yang Haiyan, looking at the general lying on the couch with cucumber slices on his face, she pulled Yang Haiyan's sleeve: "Xiangjun, the general..."
Yang Haiyan patted Nanny Lian's hand: "It's okay, let him have fun."
Hearing Yang Haiyan say this, Nanny Lian stopped asking about it: "Xiangjun, I cooked red date soup today, you can drink a bowl later. You had a nightmare last night and were frightened. We have an old saying that you should drink a bowl of red date soup to calm down."
Speaking of nightmares, this is really a beautiful misunderstanding. But Yang Haiyan didn't intend to explain, could it be that she was frightened by Qin Fang? "Thank you, Aunt Lian, you've worked so hard." Aunt Lian was really good to her. If she hadn't been serving her sincerely, why would she have thought of cooking red date soup to surprise her?
Aunt Lian smiled and said, "It's not hard, not hard." As long as the host knew her intentions, nothing would be hard.
Fortunately, the movement yesterday did not alarm Liuxin Courtyard, otherwise Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin would have been scared to death at their old age. But Qin Fang probably wouldn't be able to please her, and would definitely be criticized.
In the blink of an eye, it was August, and the watermelons were ripe. Not only were the watermelons ripe, but the first batch of potato flour and sweet potato flour from the Royal Grain Factory was also produced. The factory was piled with potatoes and sweet potatoes from various counties in Hedong Prefecture, but the largest number was from Yunxiang County. After all, unless other counties were close to Yunxiang County, they would not come from thousands of miles away to sell potatoes and sweet potatoes.
The people of Yunxiang County were so happy. They would plant potatoes and sweet potatoes in their fields and sell them directly to the general's mansion. The money was settled on the spot. With the successful launch
of the Yunxiang County Imperial Grain Factory and the ripening of watermelons, the Ministry of Industry finally produced gunpowder. The Ministry of Industry produced gunpowder, which meant that Wei Ting would return to Beijing.
That day, Wei Ting came to say goodbye to Qin Fang: "General Qin, I've been in Yunxiang County for a few months, thank you for your care. I'll come to the capital someday, and I'll treat you to a drink."
Qin Fang said, "I'll definitely come someday. Your Excellency Wei has urgent business, so I won't let you stay for a few more days."
Wei Ting said, "See you later." Wei Ting left on his own. The Ministry of Industry's team was still at the Beast Mountain Taoist Temple, waiting for the emperor's next instructions. He was taking the finished gunpowder back to the capital, and maybe Wei Ting would come back in a few days. Qin Fang
sent Wei Ting away, and a few days later, Du Ke and Shen Lixian also left. The matter of the imperial grain franchisee of Hedong Prefecture has come to an end, and they still have to go to other prefectures.
When Wei Ting left, Yang Haiyan did not come to see him off. Du Ke was leaving, so Yang Haiyan and Qin Fang came to see him off together. They saw Du Ke and Shen Lixian off... and they also took away a basket of watermelons.
Looking back, Yang Haiyan said to Qin Fang, "Isn't it time for Tao Shan to arrive in the capital? He brought cucumbers, watermelons, broccoli, cauliflower, and tomatoes this time. I don't know if it went smoothly."
Qin Fang said, "He has ten private guards escorting him. He is taking the official road, so there won't be any problems."
Tao Shan, who they had been talking about, did arrive in the capital. Tao Shan brought a lot of things with him on this trip. As soon as he entered the capital, he attracted the attention of the guards: "Who is he? What are these things?" In fact, Tao Shan brought too many things this time. Not only for the emperor, but also for the Du family. This was no longer a matter of one or two baskets. So it was normal for him to be checked by the guards at the gate of the capital.
Tao Shan handed over his pass: "Big brother, this is my pass."
The guards looked at Tao Shan's pass and found nothing wrong. However, "What is this? We need to check it."
Tao Shan said: "No problem, no problem, these are for the emperor."
"Wait..." The guards stopped Tao Shan from taking the things, "Is this a tribute to the emperor?" How could they, the guards, be qualified to check the tribute to the emperor? Wouldn't this cost them their heads? The guards were shocked.
Tao Shan explained: "This is not a tribute, it is sent to the emperor by our generals."
Even if it is not a tribute, they cannot check the things given to the emperor, but the guards are afraid that there is something wrong with this thing, so they said: "Brother, wait a moment, I will go to call our boss."
In Qiguo, the Wucheng Bingma Division is responsible for the security of the capital. And the one guarding the gate of the capital is the Jingjiao Command Camp. The commander is a fifth-rank official, the same rank as Qin Fang, the general who defends the city, but... the actual power is different.
Of course, the boss mentioned by the guards is not the commander of the Jingying.
