Lu Baifu was puzzled. As Qin Fang's neighbor, he knew that this guy was afraid of his family and paid his monthly salary obediently. Why did he hide his private money now? But he didn't ask: "Okay, I know, I won't give you away."
Han Zhen added: "Don't give me away either." His wife didn't want him to go hunting, fearing that he would be in danger, and he agreed, so he couldn't let her know, otherwise the pregnant woman would get too angry and hurt herself.
Lu Baifu and Yang Baifu looked at each other, and Yang Baifu understood: "Are you hiding your private money?" Otherwise, there is no other explanation.
Han Zhen snorted: "Am I such a person?" When his wife was working hard all day, he had already given all his savings to his wife, and now he is penniless.
However, Han Zhen just said this, and Qin Fang beside him hummed.
Oh my God. He immediately looked at Qin Fang with incredible eyes, meaning, are you serious?
Not to mention Han Zhen, even Yang Baifu and Lu Baifu looked at Qin Fang. In the family housing in the Baifu District, Yang Haiyan is very famous. First, she became famous for the suicide by taking poison on the wedding night; second, it was because of Yang Haiyan's money-making incident.
Therefore, the ladies in the Baifu District envied Yang Haiyan, but they had no choice. They didn't have the money to open a shop, and even if they did, they didn't have Yang Haiyan's craftsmanship.
Han Zhen then shouted in surprise: "Lao Qin, you are so good that you dare to hide your private money. Be careful that your sister-in-law will find out."
Qin Fang's eyes flashed with a threat: "If you don't tell her, how can she know. If you dare to tell her..." The deep eyes hid the aura of assassination.
Lu Baifu immediately admitted: "I will definitely not tell you, because... I also think that private money is very important. We men should hide our private money and have a drink in private. By the way, Captain Qin, Sir Qin, you haven't invited us for a drink yet." Is this a centurion for nothing?
Qin Fang thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's call the others tonight and go to the tavern in the town to have a drink." Because they were on duty during the day in District 18, they had time at night.
Han Zhen immediately said, "I'm afraid you don't have enough money to eat." Qin Fang
glanced at him and said, "Then save some money."
Han Zhen opened his mouth as if he had eaten an egg, "Are you too stingy? Can you show some courage of a thousand men?"
Qin Fang: "No." He was saving his money for his wife and his future children, not for drinking with these people.
Yang Baifu asked, "Do you want the deer penis processed in the kitchen?"
His sudden words made Qin Fang and others suddenly quiet down. Han Zhen hummed, "I don't need it." His wife was pregnant, and if he ate it, he would have no place to relieve his anger.
Lu Baifu: "Neither do I. I'm too tired lately and need a good rest."
Yang Baifu looked at Qin Fang. Qin Fang, who had never vented his anger on his wife, said: "I'm not you. Do you think I need it?" Then he turned and left.
Yang Baifu: "..." That's too bullying. But looking at Qin Fang's figure, he really doesn't need it. But, can his wife handle it?
Qin Fang rode his horse back to his family room and brought Han Zhen with him. Because the distance was short and the horse was very fast, he would not feel tired with two people and the horse. Otherwise, Qin Fang would definitely leave Han Zhen behind. Now in Qin Fang's heart, his wife is first and the horse is second.
Arriving at the door of the family room, Qin Fang said, "You go back. At 6:00 p.m., we'll go to a restaurant for a drink. I'm going to the county town."
Han Zhen: "What are you going to the county town for?"
Qin Fang: "Buy something."
Han Zhen thought for a moment and said, "I'll go too."
So, the two of them went to the county town together. They also had a purpose for going to the county town, so they bought something and came back.
"The master is back." Aunt Yu was washing vegetables in the yard when she saw Qin Fang coming back.
Qin Fang nodded: "Where's the wife?"
Aunt Yu: "The wife is embroidering in the house."
Yang Haiyan also heard his voice and came out: "Why are you here so early today? Aunt Fan hasn't cooked yet."
Qin Fang showed her a basket of things: "Look and see what you want to eat."
Yang Haiyan took a look and said in surprise: "These are apples and tofu. Can you buy them in town?"
Qin Fang looked at her and pretended to be mysterious and didn't say anything.
Yang Haiyan smiled: "Husband, did you go to the county to buy them?" Remembering that she was thinking about tofu before, and remembering that when Yang Dahua sent apples, she said they were delicious, so this time, he bought them for her specially. Yang Haiyan looked at him with a frown. This man's heart is warm. As long as you add a little fire, it will boil.
Qin Fang felt uncomfortable being looked at by her, and hummed: "Why are you looking at me?"
Yang Haiyan: "I think you are handsome."
Qin Fang: "You... don't talk nonsense." Then he ran into the house.
Yang Haiyan laughed crisply: "Husband, make tofu soup for dinner."
Qin Fang came out of the house again: "I won't eat at home tonight, I will ask the centurion downstairs to go to the restaurant for a drink, so I don't have to bother at home."
Yang Haiyan listened, followed him to the house, and then took out a fifty-liang silver note from inside: "Here, since you are inviting everyone to a drink, you should eat to your heart's content."
Qin Fang: "No need." He still had more than three liang of silver, enough to eat. If he had this, he could have eaten for a year.
Yang Haiyan took his hand and put it in his hand: "It's better to be prepared. Be good, take it."
Qin Fang saw this and had to take it.
When Qin Fang came back from drinking, everyone in the family had gone to bed, but there was still warm water in the kitchen. He took a bath, washed up, and went back to his room.
Yang Haiyan was lying in the quilt reading a book: "You came back quite early." Although it was late, it was only half past seven according to modern time.
Qin Fang: "I still have to be on duty tomorrow, so everyone can just eat for fun." As he said, he took out the remaining money, "I spent two taels of silver today, and the remaining forty-eight taels of silver are on the table." After putting the silver away, he got on the bed and squeezed into Yang Haiyan's place. It was not enough to just squeeze, he had to lean on her.
Han Family
Yang Dahua was particularly happy today because her husband bought her a silver hairpin. They got married in late August, and it has been more than three months now. This is the first time she has received a gift from a man, so she was so happy that she didn't want to wear it.
Han Zhen looked at her like that and was also happy in his heart: "Don't be afraid to wear it, we will buy a better one in the future."
Yang Dahua: "Okay."
On the last day of November, Qin Fang came back from duty and brought back five men, all of whom were soldiers who had completed their military service. Because Qin Fang informed Yang Haiyan a day in advance, the evening meal was particularly rich, especially the meat Qin Fang brought back two days ago, all of which was roasted. Yes, roasted meat.
Among the five soldiers Qin Fang brought back, one was called Kunshi, who was originally a captain, that is, the captain of a ten-man team. The other four were soldiers, all of whom were his subordinates when he was a centurion. Now he took these five people as private guards, and Kunshi was appointed as the captain.
The small courtyard of this family house was naturally too small to sleep, so these five people lived in the Qianfu House. Many things there have been added, and the servants could have moved in long ago, but the main house was still short of what Yang Haiyan needed, so they didn't move in.
Private soldiers usually stayed at Qianfu's house, where General Ao's family lived before. There was a special martial arts training ground where they practiced martial arts. Kunshi followed Qin Fang to the military camp, so Yang Haiyan bought a horse for him. This made the penniless Kunshi very happy. Owning a horse of his own was a very proud thing. Every day when he returned to Qianfu's house, the first thing he did was to take care of the horse.
There was nothing to do in winter, and the days passed unknowingly, and soon it was the fifth day of December. On this day, we were going to the general's house in the county to attend a banquet, and Yang Haiyan had already prepared the things she wanted to prepare.
Qin Fang usually dressed casually. Except for the underwear made of fine cotton by Yang Haiyan, the outer clothes were basically made of coarse cloth. He trained and practiced martial arts in the military camp. Good cloth cannot withstand wear and tear, and it costs money when it is torn, while coarse cloth is cheap, but it is strong because it is rough.
But today he was dressed more formally. The black robe made him look more handsome and extraordinary, adding a bit of momentum to his usual coldness. The black jade hair crown was put on him by Yang Haiyan himself: "This is just right." This man has a strong aura and is not like an ordinary military general at all.
Speaking of which, in the past two months, he has changed a lot from learning to read to knowing the history of Qiguo, to being familiar with the law, and then reading military books for a month.
To put it bluntly, the whole person has been cleansed and sublimated.
To put it more politely, there is a golden house in the book, and the knowledge has broadened his horizons, and the knowledge has changed his vision and concepts.
In addition, Yang Haiyan has influenced him in terms of values and life. Who can still say that he is a poor boy from the countryside when he goes out now?
Compared with the sons of noble families, as long as he doesn't speak, his stern look with a calm face can be quite intimidating.
Qin Fang has always been rough with himself. Even if he went to the general's mansion to celebrate, he didn't care about his appearance. According to him, men should make money to support women and children, so why should they care about these frivolous things?
But today, when he went out with his wife, he was particularly concerned about his image, for fear that he would be compared to others and that others would say they were not worthy and that he was not worthy of his wife. So she asked nervously, "Is this okay?"
Yang Haiyan: "My heart is pounding when I see you, I'm afraid that some young lady will take a fancy to you, what do you think?"
Qin Fang couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "I don't want anyone else, I just want you." When she was rich and he was poor, she didn't despise him. So in this life, he will never let her go.
Yang Haiyan thought, I made you like this, taught you to read and write, do you still want someone else?
Qin Fang said again: "You are also good-looking." Isn't it good-looking? Others stumbled during the winter disaster, but she made herself fair and tender. Not only her, look at the servants around her, who is not well-fed? Even the two sons of the Lu family, who drink goat milk every day, are also strong.
Her clothes today were no different from those she wore on other days. She wore a creamy white jacket, a bright red long skirt, and a black cloak on the outside. She was warm in this way. She
had a pair of pearls on her full earlobes, which matched the pearls in the golden hollow hairpin on her bun. She wore a Hetian jade bracelet on her small wrist, and with her exquisite makeup, there was nothing wrong with her face.
Not to mention that Qin Fang was moved by her, even Nanny Lian, who had seen many beauties, was stunned for a moment. She was not stunned by Yang Haiyan's appearance. The Yuan family was once the threshold for second-rank officials. How could there be no beauties among the children of the noble families who came in and out?
So Nanny Lian was stunned by Yang Haiyan's makeup. Even she praised her good makeup.
Qin Fang: "Let's go." As he said that, he took her hand.
Qin Fang brought Kunshi with him when they went out today, and the two of them went on horseback. Yang Haiyan brought Nanny Lian, and the two of them went in a donkey cart. The one driving the cart was naturally Uncle Hong.
The cold north wind was mixed with sand, blowing in the air with a rustling sound. Yang Haiyan and Nanny Lian could hear the sound in the donkey cart. If it was late at night, it would be frightening.
Yang Haiyan held a hand warmer and covered herself with a quilt, so she could curl herself up.
I don't know how long it took, the carriage stopped. Yang Haiyan asked: "Have we arrived at the county town?"
Qin Fang was riding a horse in front and didn't hear her voice. Nanny Lian stuck her head out of the carriage and looked around: "We've arrived at the county gate. You can go in after your identity is verified."
Yang Haiyan was a little nervous when she heard this. To be honest, if it was just the circle of people like Lu Saozi and Yang Dahua, she would be able to handle it like a duck in water. But outside, the class division is too strong. You have to greet everyone you meet, and the slightest disrespect will cause trouble.
When I was reading the novel, I saw Yang Dahua become a general's wife and live a glorious life. But she came step by step, and the difficulties in it were not something you could understand when you read the novel. Only when you come to this world and experience everything in this world can you understand the difficulties.
The donkey cart started moving again, and the identity check was completed. After a long time, the donkey cart arrived at the gate of the general's mansion.
Qin Fang got off his horse and came to the donkey cart: "Yan Yan, we're here."
Yang Haiyan came out of the donkey cart and Qin Fang led her out of the cart. After she got out of the cart, Nanny Lian also hurried down and followed behind Yang Haiyan, keeping a polite distance.
"Master Qin is here." The butler of General Ao's mansion was the one who received the male guest at the door. He was very familiar with Qin Fang and had known him for four years. When Qin Fang first came to the military camp, General Ao was a captain of a thousand men, and this butler was his private guard.
Although the butler had no rank, Qin Fang was General Ao's subordinate and was also General Ao's person, so Qin Fang naturally gave the butler face: "Captain Wu." Qin Fang's address to him was based on the previous one.
Hearing this address, Wu's smile towards Qin Fang became even more friendly: "Sir Qin, the general has ordered that I will take you there after you arrive."
Qin Fang: "Thank you, how about my wife?" Wu
's housekeeper: "How is Mrs. Qin... Aunt Tian, the maid of Sir Qin's family is here, please come and receive her." Then he said to Yang Haiyan, "Don't worry, Aunt Tian is the housekeeper of my wife." Aunt
Tian was specially ordered to wait for Yang Haiyan here. When she saw Yang Haiyan arrive, she hurriedly bowed warmly and respectfully: "How is Mrs. Qin? Please come this way, my wife has prepared a warm room to entertain the distinguished guests."
Yang Haiyan dodged and accepted her half-bow: "Thank you, Aunt Tian. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting in this cold winter." As she spoke, she handed over the hand warmer in her hand, "Aunt Tian, warm your hands." Aunt Tian
took it and said gratefully, "Thank you, Ruren."
Aunt Lian hurriedly gave her hand warmer to Yang Haiyan: "Ruren, be careful of getting cold."
Aunt Tian observed Yang Haiyan and Aunt Lian, and was a little surprised at the moment, but then she understood that people who came from the attached middle school of Taifu Yang, even if they were born as maids, would have extremely good etiquette and rules.
What's more, even if she was born as a maid, so what? Now she is the wife of a seventh-rank military general, and the glory is still behind. You have to know that Captain Qin is only 20 years old. If he moves up, it will only take a few years. Even if it takes ten years, this 30-year-old fifth-rank general is still outstanding, and this lady will only be in her twenties by then. So this lady still has a long way to go in terms of glory and wealth.
Nanny Tian led the way in front and soon arrived at the greenhouse where the general's wife Ao Jiang entertained guests. Two servants wearing thick jackets stood at the door of the greenhouse. When they saw them coming, they hurriedly lifted the cotton curtain to block the wind at the door. After they went in, they put the cotton curtain down again. The greenhouse
was quite warm, and the hot air in the fireplace was coming out. It was probably too cold outside, so it felt warm as soon as they entered.
Nanny Tian invited Yang Haiyan to sit down: "Lady Qin, please sit down. I will go and tell Lady Yi."
Yang Haiyan nodded.
Nanny Tian left, and before leaving, she asked the maid to serve tea.
Yang Haiyan was a little more nervous than before. Don't be fooled by her calm appearance. She has seen many scenes on TV, but watching TV is different from experiencing it personally. Although she has the memory of the original owner, she has seen the big scenes in the original owner's memory, but memory and personal experience are also different.
The maid served tea, Yang Haiyan picked up the teacup, took a sip, just one sip, to moisten her dry throat, and then she stopped drinking. When you are out, it is inconvenient to go to the toilet if you drink too much tea.
However, she did not have to wait too long. She saw a door in the greenhouse open and a wealthy lady in her early thirties came out. She had a smile on her face and looked quite bright and generous. Especially when she spoke, her voice was not small. However, she smiled without saying anything, which made people feel very comfortable.
The general's wife, Mrs. Ao Jiang, came out of the door with an apologetic look on her face: "I'm so sorry, Mrs. Qin. I was entertaining guests just now. You must have been waiting impatiently, right?"
Yang Haiyan stood up and leaned over: "I've met Mrs. Yi. There's no hurry. It's very warm here. It's a good time for me to warm up."
Mrs. Ao Jiang laughed when she heard it: "I don't like the way of gentlemen. Qin Fang is good friends with my husband, and I'm much older than you. You call me auntie and I'll call you Haiyan, okay?" Yang Haiyan is sixteen years old this year and Mrs. Ao Jiang is in her early thirties. They are of the same generation as mother and daughter. So Yang Haiyan had the upper hand when calling her auntie.
Yang Haiyan remembered that in the plot of the novel, the prince ascended the throne. Of course, Han Zhen and Yang Dahua, who raised him, naturally became rich and powerful. And Yonghe Hou went a step further and became Yonghe Gong. After all, Yonghe Hou had 50,000 soldiers and was related to Han Zhen, so they naturally took sides.
And how could General Ao be excluded?
Yang Haiyan came to her senses and said in agreement with Ao Jiangshi, "Then I will listen to my aunt. I was sold when I was young and have no memory of my family. But I don't have any relatives from my mother's side. I have my aunt here. If my husband bullies me, you have to stand up for me."
Ao Jiangshi just liked such a direct character. She was annoyed by those who were hesitant and said two different meanings in one sentence. "Of course. If Qin Fang dares to bully you, I will ask my general to punish him. By the way, the distinguished guest I just entertained is still inside. She asked me to come out to receive you because she was afraid that you would get impatient. Do you want to go over and get to know him?"
Yang Haiyan showed a trace of hesitation: "Will it disturb the distinguished guest?"
Ao Jiangshi: "No, let's go. We will get to know each other in the future." As she spoke, she led Yang Haiyan into the house. After they went in, the maid closed the door again. If there were other guests in the conservatory, they would not know that there was another room inside.
The guests inside sat on the couch with their backs to them. Hearing the voice, the guest turned around. Her bright appearance made people's eyes light up. Yang Haiyan didn't know what nobility was before, but looking at this lady, she seemed to understand. Nobility radiates from the inside out, and it is a habit cultivated over time.
And this kind of nobility is something that people like her who live in peacetime cannot cultivate. It requires the influence of time and environment.
Ao Jiang: "Haiyan, this is the wife of the prince of Yonghe." Yonghe Marquis is a first-rank marquis, and Yonghe Marquis's prince is a second-rank.
Yang Haiyan hurriedly saluted: "Yang Haiyan, the wife of Qin Fang, the captain of the Yongzhou military camp, General Ao, has met the prince's wife."
The prince's wife did not call Yang Haiyan up immediately. She looked Yang Haiyan up and down. This kind of scrutiny did not make people uncomfortable, because the eyes of the prince's wife were curious, not scrutinizing. But it was only a moment, and she shouted: "Mrs. Qin, you don't have to be polite. Speaking of it, Mrs. Qin and I are also destined to meet. I have long wanted to meet Mrs. Qin, but I have never had the opportunity. Today I finally meet her." The prince's wife's words were not false. The soap recipe she bought from Yang Haiyan brought her a lot of profit. However, even if it brought profits, Yang Haiyan's previous identity as the centurion's wife was not enough for her to value meeting her.
And this time, she came here not because of today's banquet, but because the prince came to meet Qin Fang in private. The prince wanted to cultivate Qin Fang into his confidant, so she naturally had to pull Yang Haiyan. Before the wedding, she also inquired about this Lady Qin. Knowing that she was well-mannered, knew the rules and knew the limits, the wife of the prince was even more satisfied.
Ao Jiang did not ask the reason, but said: "It is really fate."
Yang Haiyan naturally knew what the wife of the prince meant, but she could not directly say that she knew what you meant. She could only pretend to be puzzled: "Please forgive me, Madam, your words make me very confused. If I had met you, I would not have forgotten it. But, I really can't remember where I met the wife of the prince."
The wife of the prince laughed: "It is true that I have not met her, but it is also fate. The Buddha's promise cannot be revealed."
Ao Jiang said: "You are still playing a mystery."
Yang Haiyan also laughed.
The wife of the prince said again: "Hurry up and sit down. I heard that Haiyan opened a snack shop in the town."
Speaking of this, Yang Haiyan stood up and bowed to Ao Jiangshi first: "I came to your house today and brought some snacks..." Then she looked at the wife of the prince, "Since you asked, I borrowed flowers to send Buddha."
Ao Jiangshi: "What's the matter? The other day, Lao Ao came to your house for a drink and brought a small red bag. I also ate the snacks in it. They tasted good. Speaking of which, after your snack shop opened, I asked the servants to buy several times." When
Yang Haiyan heard this, she didn't expect there was such a thing: "That's my fault. I should have come to visit you earlier."
The wife of the prince: "Hearing what you said, I want to try it even more."
Yang Haiyan: "Today's snacks are not the ones you've seen in the shop, but new ones made by me. Please wait." Then, she called in Nanny Lian.
Nanny Lian was holding a large round lunch box. However, other people's lunch boxes were not this big.
Yang Haiyan took the large round lunch box and put it on the low square table in the middle of the couch: "Madam, why don't you open the lid?"
The wife of the prince found it interesting: "I hope there is a surprise inside?"
Yang Haiyan: "You will know after you take a look."
Hearing her say this, the wife of the prince became more curious. She lifted the rope on the lid with both hands, and then lifted the lid. As a result, she saw a large round cake inside. The Crown Prince's wife: "What is this?" The cake has three layers, the first layer is the smallest, the second layer is larger than the first layer, and the third layer is larger than the second layer. The three layers of cake are all golden yellow, and the fragrance cannot be covered when the lid is opened.
In fact, in modern times, this is called a three-layer cake.
What's more exquisite is that there are red words on the top layer: Congratulations. But it is more attentive.
Ao Jiang was also amazed: "This is somewhat similar to a small cake."
Yang Haiyan: "This is a three-layer big cake. There are buttons on the side of the wooden box, which can untie a circle of round boards."
The Crown Prince's wife followed Yang Haiyan's instructions and untied the round boards surrounding the cake, and then said in surprise: "There is filling in this big cake. The filling on the first layer... is red beans?"
Ao Jiang: "I think so."
Yang Haiyan: "You guessed it right."
The Crown Prince's wife guessed correctly and was a little happy: "Then the second layer, this yellow one is? Honey."
Yang Haiyan sighed: "You were right again."
Seeing her like that, the Crown Prince's wife became even more proud, not But then she frowned again: "What's this third layer? White, flour? No."
Yang Haiyan: "Why don't you cut a small piece and try it, there's a surprise inside."
Seeing her so confident, the prince's wife asked Ao Jiang to cut a small piece. Ao Jiang said: "I don't know how to start. Haiyan, just cut it."
Yang Haiyan picked up the long wooden knife. She asked the woodworking workshop to do the carpentry. While she used the long wooden knife to cut from the top layer to the bottom layer, cutting in a rice shape, she asked Ao Jiang: "Auntie, do you have plates and small spoons?"
Ao Jiang immediately asked someone to prepare plates and small spoons, a total of three sets, one set for each of them.
Yang Haiyan prepared three pieces of cake for each plate, with three different flavors: "Madam, aunt, please taste it." Madam
and Ao Jiang took a small spoon and tasted it curiously. The taste of red beans and honey was what they expected. Although the cake was delicious, the taste was not very special or amazing. But when they tasted the filling at the bottom, they were conquered.
In fact, there is no woman that cream cannot conquer.
Yes, the bottom layer is cream, but there is something else besides cream.
The wife of the prince took two small bites and began to guess: "I don't know what this white filling is, but it tastes a bit like milk and a bit like flour. Judging from the taste, it should be related to milk. Could it be made of goat's milk? As for the other one, it should be apple."
Yang Haiyan was also surprised and looked at the wife of the prince with admiration. Isn't this too amazing? She showed off some modern skills, but the wife of the prince actually saw through it.
Seeing her like that, the Crown Prince's wife was particularly happy. She was twenty-five years old this year and had lost the innocence of a girl. Seeing Yang Haiyan's natural look, she naturally liked her: "Why? Did I guess right?"
Yang Haiyan said: "You are right. The first layer is red beans, the second layer is honey, and the third layer is goat's milk apples, so I gave this big cake another name, called goat's milk apple cake." She unconsciously brought the relationship closer to me when she called herself "concubine" just now.
"Goat milk apple cake?" The Crown Prince's wife pondered the meaning of it, "It's quite appropriate, a cake with goat milk, apples and eggs. However, I also know about goat milk, how to make it like this? And it tastes much better than goat milk."
Yang Haiyan said, "It's complicated to explain, I will write down the recipe for you later and send it to you?"
The Crown Prince's wife said, "No, no, I want to eat it later, just go to your shop and order it."
The three of them ate the fruit cake for a while, and Nanny Tian came to report that the wives of other centurions and other guerrilla generals came one after another.
Seeing this, the Crown Prince's wife said, "You can go out, I won't go." She and the Crown Prince came to avoid people and didn't want to be known.
Ao Jiang and Yang Haiyan: "Yes."
Ao Jiang and Yang Haiyan went together and appeared in front of everyone. The wives and concubines of each family did not find it strange. After all, Qin Fang was from District 18, and General Ao was previously the captain of the 18th District. In terms of relationship, Ao Jiang and Yang Haiyan were indeed the closest.
The banquet was still relatively harmonious, and the scenes of open and covert in many novels did not appear. Whether it was the wife of the captain's family or the concubines of other generals' families, everyone spoke politely, courteously and flatteringly. The concubines of the generals' families said that they did not understand and were not familiar with Yang Haiyan. However, the wives of the captains' families were relatively familiar with Yang Haiyan, mainly because of two points, the suicide by taking poison on the wedding night and the incident of opening a snack shop.
These two things made Yang Haiyan famous throughout the military camp.
When the banquet was about to end, Jiang Ao took Yang Haiyan to meet two wives of the captain's family. They were both good friends when she lived in the captain's house. One was from Captain Hong's family and the other was from Captain Jiang's family. These two and General Ao were under the jurisdiction of the same guerrilla general. Now that General Ao was promoted, they became General Ao's jurisdiction. So they had a good relationship.
So Jiang Ao brought Yang Haiyan to introduce the two wives, and they naturally welcomed them.
After the banquet, Yang Haiyan took Nanny Lian for a walk. When they were almost at the door, they saw Qin Fang. She stepped forward happily: "Why are you here?"
Qin Fang covered her hand: "Are you cold? It's over there, I'll wait for you here." The hand warmer had been on for so long, it was no longer warm. He was worried that she was cold, so he waited for her here.
Yang Haiyan shook her head: "It's not cold inside."
There were more than ten families who came here to attend the banquet, but no one was waiting here like Qin Fang. Some people saw it and couldn't help thinking that this Qin Ruren was good at holding men tightly.
After leaving the general's house, Qin Fang asked: "Do you want to ride a horse and go back quickly?"
Yang Haiyan nodded quickly: "Yes." The donkey cart was too slow.
So the couple rode back on horseback, while Nanny Lian rode back in a donkey cart.
After returning home, Yang Haiyan hurriedly took a bath. It must be said that it is convenient to have servants at home. If there were no servants, she would have to boil the hot water for foot bathing and face washing by herself. Now that they came back, Aunt Yu had done these things.
Qin Fang did not read tonight. After taking a bath, the couple went to bed. Yang Haiyan nestled in his arms and talked about the things in the General's Mansion: "I met the prince's wife today, and she was very polite to me. The lady in the General's Mansion is very easy to get along with. She asked me to call her aunt in the future, and I did not refuse."
Qin Fang put his hand on her waist, kneading the soft flesh on her waist from time to time, and the touch was quite good. Listening to her words, he explained: "Today, General Ao called me to my study and met the prince privately."
Yang Haiyan understood as soon as she heard it. She originally thought that the Crown Prince's wife was polite to her because of the soap recipe, but now it seems that it was mainly because of the relationship with the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince's wife is naturally polite to the confidant that the Crown Prince wants to develop.
In the original novel, after Han Zhen became a centurion, the Crown Prince also did this privately.
Two days later, on the seventh day of December, the Qin family moved.
The eighth day of December is Laba Festival, and Yang Haiyan plans to celebrate Laba Festival in the new home. The Centurion's yard is too small, and the servants and private guards can't squeeze in at all, so they have to go to the new home. After more than twenty days, the new home was almost ready, and the furniture she wanted was also ready.
On the day of moving, Qin Fang went to the barracks to be on duty, and Uncle Hong and the remaining four private guards moved together. After moving to the new courtyard, everyone looked at the spacious environment inside and liked it very much.
Yang Haiyan made a simple arrangement. Because there were few masters in the house, only she and Qin Fang, so the east and west rooms were empty. The servants lived in the back house, and Nanny Lian lived in the side house of the main courtyard.
