When General Ao heard this, he hurriedly asked: "What do you think?"
Qin Fang squatted down on the spot: "General, please look, this is our county city. If the barbarians have the opportunity to leave after capturing the young master, they will definitely leave, right?"
General Ao: "Isn't this nonsense? Not to mention that they will leave if they have the opportunity to leave, they will find a way to leave even if they don't have the opportunity to leave. Qin Fang, don't keep me in suspense, just say what you want to say."
Qin Fang drew a map on the ground: "After a night, the people in the county city are already in a panic, and the barbarians must be the same. They will not go to war with us before sending the young master out, because they have no bargaining chips. So the barbarians must send the young master out. Even if it's dawn, they won't, Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, one day we will take action. There are three ways to leave the county and go to the barbarian camp. We will strictly check the people coming in and out at the gate of the county, which will put pressure on them. After they leave, they will definitely relax. Even if they don't relax, it doesn't matter. We will ambush on these three roads."
General Ao asked doubtfully: "If we ambush, what if they get rid of the young master first?"
Qin Fang said: "The ambush will put pressure on them, and then plan the second step, find someone to pretend to be one of them, get close to them, blend in with them, and quickly get rid of the people holding the young master, Wait until the young master is in hand, then deal with them. They are under pressure at this time. If one of their own people shows up, there is a 50% chance that they will trust the other party. General, what do you think? "
General Ao swallowed his saliva. He was good at fighting and would be at the forefront on the front line, but he was not good at battle plans: "I will leave the county now and discuss this matter with the prince. After all..."
Qin Fang nodded seriously: "I know." Since it concerns the life of the young master, it is indeed necessary to obtain the consent of the prince as a father, because their plan is also risky. But if they don't take the risk, the young master will be in danger in the hands of the other party.
General Ao asked again: "If we go according to your plan, do you have any candidates for the person who will get close to the barbarians in the second step? After all... if it fails, the person who gets close to the barbarians will be in danger of his life."
Since Qin Fang proposed this plan, he naturally had candidates: "General, are you willing to give it a try?"
General Ao immediately said: "Of course I count as one, and you count as one?" He suspected that since Qin Fang proposed the plan, he would definitely take part, and he still trusted Qin Fang's kung fu.
Qin Fang nodded: "Yes, I count myself as one, and I plan to find Han Zhen as the third person. Although I beat him in that competition, I know his ability, and it is also dangerous for me to win."
General Ao thought for a while: "Then how about this, you go out of the county to find the prince, and you tell the prince about this plan. If the prince agrees, you have to find Han Zhen." General Ao thought it would be better for Qin Fang to go out and talk about it. After all, the whole plan was directed by Qin Fang, and he is the most suitable person to explain it.
Qin Fang: "Yes."
After Qin Fang left the county, he went directly to the barracks, and even passed by the family house without going in. Arriving at the military camp, he went directly to the prince. When the prince saw him, he thought that his son had been found, and asked hurriedly: "Have you found my son?"
Qin Fang shook his head: "No."
The prince was disappointed for a while, but he also knew that this matter was not so easy: "What about you?"
Qin Fang directly told his plan: "... Do you think it's okay?"
The prince pondered for a while and agreed to Qin Fang's plan. He was confused now and really couldn't think of a better way. And if the county city gates were not opened and those people were locked in, his son might be in greater danger in a few days. "You go and arrange it."
Qin Fang: "Yes."
Qin Fang left the prince's tent and went directly to find Han Zhen and others. He called Han Zhen, Lu Baifu, Yang Baifu and others, and asked them to ambush that road with three teams of three hundred people, and told them the second step of the plan.
After everything was arranged, we just had to wait for the next day.
The next day, the city gate opened.
There were only five barbarians who sneaked into the county city and successfully kidnapped the young master. The others were executed on the spot when they were discovered.
A secret place.
"Boss, the gate of the county city is open, we can go."
The barbarian said, "If we don't leave today, the group of Qi soldiers will open the city gate at this time. Who knows what plan they have waiting for us. If we don't go out, they will be disappointed day by day. After disappointment, they will relax, and then we will have a chance to leave. When this little bastard arrives at our military camp, we will see whether the prince surrenders or not. If he doesn't surrender, we will kill his son." His tone was murderous.
"The Yong family army has been fighting against us for decades. The old marquis is a tough guy, but I don't know about the prince. Boss, do you think the prince will attack our camp in a rage?"
The boss sneered and said, "His son is in our hands, he dare not attack. If he attacks, we will kill his son directly. He dare not take the risk."
In fact, the barbarian boss was right. The less they showed up, the more lax the guards at the city gate would be, because they were also anxious. Once they relaxed, they would have a chance to leave.
Didn't they leave safely after three days?
The guards did start to relax when they saw that no suspects left with their children day by day. And during this slackness, the barbarian took the young master out of the city.
After they left the city, they breathed a sigh of relief when they found that no one had followed them out.
The leader of the group said, "Hurry, leave here immediately. After you leave, find a place to hide, and then continue on your journey at night."
"Yes."
There are three ways out of the county town and the border, so just in case, they took the nearest road at night. Because the nearest road is the fastest, they thought that even if someone discovered them, they could escape to their own territory as quickly as possible.
But they didn't know that there were ambushes on all three roads. Whether it was day or night, the soldiers of Qi State were waiting for them day and night.
When they had traveled half of the night road, the leader suddenly said, "Wait a minute. Who are you? Come out."
Hundreds of soldiers came out from the darkness and surrounded them with torches. The soldiers at the front said: "Hand over the young master, and I will spare your lives. Otherwise, if something happens to the young master, you will lose your heads." They heard the words from the above, so they didn't take any action for the time being, and put pressure on the other side first.
The barbarian said: "Bah, if you dare to come over, I will kill him." He held the unconscious young master in front of him, "Let's see whose knife is
faster." So, they fought back and forth for a while. Just when the situation was about to break out, several horses came from far and near. The people sitting on the horses made the barbarian's eyes light up. Although it was night and the torches made people not see clearly, the other party was wearing clothes of their tribe, so the barbarian subconsciously thought that they were people to meet him. Manzi laughed loudly, "I guess they are getting impatient." Then he looked at the Qi soldiers proudly, "Our people are here, we are not afraid of you, let's charge." The five people led the young master and rushed forward, because the people sitting on the horses in front were their own people, so they did not suspect him.
The barbarian boss: "Third brother, you take this kid and rush over, we will stop these Qi soldiers."
The barbarian third brother: "Yes, boss, you guys be careful." As he said that, he held the little boy and fled to the side of the horse under the cover of the barbarian boss and others. He just wanted to say something, but he saw the man on the horse directly reached out and picked up the little boy. He didn't think much about it. It was indeed more convenient to hand the little kid to the other party. So he let go and said: "You take this kid away, I'll go to meet the boss."
Han Zhen directly hugged the little boy and smiled coldly: "Meet? Come on, take them all down." As he said that, he touched his face, and his dirty face was immediately much cleaner. The face was rubbed dirty with mud and sand before, just to avoid being recognized. Besides, the wind and sand have been strong for months, and no one would suspect anything even if his face was dirty. Do the barbarians really think that the hundreds of people here can't surround them? Let them break through the siege and come to their side? This is just acting.
Han Zhen hugged the young master tightly and took a few steps back with the reins. He didn't expect that things would be more successful than he imagined. Fortunately, the barbarian didn't doubt him and let go of the child to him. It must be said that Qin Fang's plan was really good. It was a tactic that took advantage of the pressure in the barbarians' hearts. Han Zhen shouted loudly: "Brothers, take down these barbarians, and I will treat you all to a drink another day."
"Take them down."
Everyone rushed up. Han Zhen and his men had a hundred men, while the other side had only five men. Naturally, they were no match for them. Although they were still holding on, there was no other possible outcome.
At this time, Qin Fang and General Ao also arrived with their men. Of the three roads, they chose the one guarded by Han Zhen. In the previous battle, Han Zhen had already given them a signal, and when they saw the signal, the two teams came over.
General Ao saw the little boy in Han Zhen's arms and asked anxiously: "How is it? Is the child okay?"
Qin Fang handed the child to General Ao: "He should be in a coma, but he should be fine."
Qin Fang reminded: "General, send the little boy to the barracks first and let the military doctor check him. Han Zhen and I will take care of the aftermath here."
General Ao: "Okay."
General Ao rode back to the barracks with the little boy in his arms.
The prince of Yonghe Marquis has hardly slept these days, and he is ready to sacrifice his son. If the barbarian tied his son to the battlefield, as a general of Qi State, he would have no second choice. Before the country and the child, he can only choose the country. Even if he dies in battle, even if this is his only son, he must defend Yongzhou to the end.
"Prince...Prince..." General Ao's loud voice rang out fifty meters away. In the blink of an eye, he had already ridden his horse to the gate of the military camp. He jumped off the horse and quickly ran to the prince, "Prince, the young master is rescued."
The prince of Yonghe took his son with trembling hands: "He..."
General Ao explained: "He should be unconscious, please ask the military doctor to check him out."
The prince of Yonghe picked up his son and walked to his own tent: "Quick, ask the military doctor..." He ordered the people around him, "Go back to the marquis' mansion and tell the lady that the young master is fine."
"Yes."
After the military camp checked the young master, they said that the young master was just unconscious, because he had not eaten much in the past few days and was a little weak, so he needed to take good care of his stomach. After
hearing this, the prince of Yonghe breathed a sigh of relief and asked General Ao about what happened.
Two quarters of an hour later, Qin Fang and Han Zhen came back. Some of the five barbarians were killed, while others were captured alive.
An hour later, the prince of Yonghe personally chopped off the barbarians' heads and hung them outside the barracks. When two armies fight, they either fight in an upright manner or disdain such mean tricks.
After beheading the barbarian, the Prince of Yonghe Marquis finally vented his anger. He invited General Ao, Qin Fang and Han Zhen into his tent and personally poured them three cups of tea: "I am very grateful for what you did today. I will offer you a cup of tea instead of wine." Drinking was prohibited in the military camp, so the Prince of Yonghe Marquis used tea instead of wine. "The New Year is in two days, so you will have a few days off. On the third day of the first lunar month, this prince will host a banquet for the three of you at the marquis's mansion."
"Yes."
As the three of them walked out of the prince's tent, they ran into the prince's wife who rushed over, and the three of them hurried to avoid her.
As soon as the wife of the prince entered the tent, she grabbed the prince and asked, "Where is our son? How is he?"
The prince helped her around the screen, where the child was sleeping. "Don't worry, the military doctor checked and found that the child was just unconscious and is now asleep. The kitchen has cooked porridge and he can eat when he wakes up. The military doctor said that he hasn't had a good meal for a few days and can't eat a lot for the time being. He can only drink some porridge to nourish his stomach."
The wife of the prince was nervous just now, but now she saw her son's sleeping face and gradually calmed down. She has been living with the prince at the border, so she is naturally braver than ordinary women, so she calmed down quickly. "I'm glad you're okay, I'm glad you're okay."
The prince said, "You haven't had a good rest these days, and you're exhausted.
Why don't you take a nap next to the child?" The prince's wife was relieved, but she was also really tired. She nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you. By the way, how was the child rescued? Where was he rescued from?"
When asked about this, the prince did not hide it. He told Qin Fang's battle plan and Han Zhen's rescue. The prince's wife was horrified when she heard it, "I'm so sorry for Qin Qianfu this time. I'm so sorry for him."
The prince: "I invited the three families to visit our house on the third day of the New Year. You have to entertain them well then."
The prince's wife: "Of course, don't worry, prince."
...
Qin Fang, Han Zhen and others returned to the family quarters, and everyone returned to their own homes.
Bang, bang, bang...
In the middle of the night, someone knocked on the door. Huang Huzi opened the door and asked, "Who is it?"
"I."
Huang Huzi heard Qin Fang's voice and hurriedly opened the door: "Are you back, sir?"
Qin Fang nodded: "How is your family?"
Huang Huzi: "Everything is fine. Han Baifu's wife is also at our house."
Qin Fang was stunned: "Go to Han Baifu's house and tell him that he is back. If he sees no one at home, he will definitely be anxious."
Huang Huzi: "Yes." He hurried out.
Kunshi also woke up. When he saw Qin Fang, he said: "Are you tired these days, sir? Give me the horse, you go and rest first."
Qin Fang nodded: "Yes."
The second courtyard is not small, and the inner courtyard may not hear the movement in the front yard. When Qin Fang arrived at the main courtyard and saw that the door of the courtyard was closed, he knocked on the door. The one guarding the gate was Aunt Yu. She was a light sleeper and woke up when she heard the noise, worried that there might be bad guys. Seeing that it was Qin Fang, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Master is back." In addition to Aunt Lian, Aunt Yu also slept in the main courtyard and she usually guarded the gate.
Qin Fang nodded.
Yang Haiyan and Nanny Lian also got up when they heard the noise. Yang Haiyan hurried out of the house, and when she reached the door, she saw Qin Fang coming. She couldn't help but say, "You're finally back." It had been five days, and he hadn't even returned home. She was really worried about him, afraid that he had an accident.
Qin Fang hugged her, smelled her fragrance, and said tiredly: "I'm back. I haven't slept for several days."
Yang Haiyan heard it and said distressedly: "Are you hungry? Eat something first?"
Qin Fang said: "Okay, I'll take a shower first."
Yang Haiyan: "Auntie Yu, bring water for the adults."
Qin Fang: "No, just use cold water. I'm used to cold water. I took a cold shower in previous years."
Yang Haiyan refused: "No, you are in good health on weekdays, so it's okay to use cold water. Today you are so tired, you will catch a cold if you use cold water. You have to listen to me, otherwise I won't let you get on the bed."
Qin Fang was helpless, but he also felt warm in his heart. Auntie Yu went to prepare water, and Yang Haiyan asked him to rest on the steps in the house for a while. Nanny Lian had already asked Aunt Fan to prepare noodles after hearing the noise. Noodles were the quickest thing to prepare at this late hour.
Qin just closed his eyes on the couch and fell asleep immediately. Yang Haiyan quickly took the quilt to cover him, and soon she could hear him snoring. This man who usually didn't snore was really tired this time. He hadn't closed his eyes for several days. How could he not be tired?
Han's House
Han Zhen also returned home exhausted. He knocked on the door of the courtyard, but after a long while, he didn't hear Yang Dahua's voice. Han Zhen was anxious, worried that something had happened to Yang Dahua, and quickly climbed over the wall to go in. As soon as he arrived at the door, he was so anxious that he didn't notice that the door was locked from the outside. He kicked the door directly: "Dahua, Dahua, are you there?"
There was no response in the room, not even a trace of human presence.
Han Zhen hurriedly took out a tinderbox. Without turning on the light, he could see that there was no one in the room. In an instant, a chill hit his whole body. Could something have happened to Dahua? He was completely panicked.
At this moment, Huang Huzi's voice came from outside: "Han Baifu... Is Han Baifu there?"
Han Zhen came to his senses: "Yes." His voice was hoarse, and he seemed to have been drained of air.
Huang Huzi didn't notice his situation. He said, "Han Baifu, Madam Han is at our house. The master said that you are back and Madam Yang will be worried if you can't see her, so he asked me to inform her."
Han Zhen suddenly ran out of the house: "What did you say? Dahua is at your house? Is she okay?"
Huang Huzi realized that something was wrong with Han Zhen. He explained, "Yes, a few days ago, the master came home and told her about the barbarians in the county. Madam was worried that the barbarians would come to the family house, so she Take Madam Yang to live with us. She has been staying at our house for the past few days. She is doing well. Don't worry."
Han Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and felt at ease: "In this case, I will not pick her up, so as not to wake her up. I will pick her up tomorrow. Thank you again for your wife's care for Dahua."
Huang Huzi: "Then I will take my leave first."
Seeing that Qin Fang was really sleeping soundly, Yang Haiyan did not ask him to get up to take a bath and eat, and let him sleep until dawn.
When Qin Fang woke up, the sun was already high. Yang Haiyan and Yang Dahua had breakfast and then basked in the sun, making clothes and embroidering. Yang Dahua made children's clothes, while Yang Haiyan embroidered handkerchiefs and socks by herself.
The sound of pigs squealing could be heard from the kitchen not far away. The sound was a little scary, but it stopped after a while. Because the pig squealing was so terrifying, someone in the Qianhu Mansion next door heard it and came to inquire, only to find out that pigs were being slaughtered here. A few households were tempted and ordered a few pounds of fresh pork to take back.
The pigs were bought by Yang Haiyan from Uncle Hong in the countryside. It was the 29th day of the lunar year, and tomorrow was New Year's Eve. She planned to have a roast pig feast, which would be much more lively than a feast for just her and Qin Fang.
Qin Fang came out of the house, stretching his lazy waist, and saw an aunt guarding the yard: "Where's the madam? I seemed to hear pigs squealing." It was quite miserable.
Aunt Yu hurriedly said, "They are slaughtering pigs in the kitchen. Madam said we will prepare a roast pig feast tomorrow. I will go and bring you hot water to wash up."
Qin Fang: "No, I will go myself." In private, he still likes to do things by himself.
Aunt Yu: "Then I will bring you food."
Qin Fang did not refuse this time: "Yes."
After Qin Fang washed up and had breakfast, he went to the kitchen to check. Aunt Lian, Aunt Fan, and Aunt Hong were all in the kitchen. Some were washing the pigs, and some were plucking the pig hair. Plucking the pig hair was not done one by one, but directly scraping the pig hair with a knife.
In the yard next to the kitchen, Yang Haiyan and Yang Dahua were doing needlework.
Kunshi drew water from the well, looked up and saw Qin Fang: "The master is here."
Everyone hurriedly bowed: "Hello, master."
Qin Fang said: "No need to be polite."
Yang Haiyan also heard his voice: "Husband, are you up?"
Qin Fang walked to her side, nodded and greeted Yang Dahua, and said to Yang Haiyan: "I got up late."
Yang Haiyan: "I know you are tired these days, why don't you rest more?"
Qin Fang pointed to the pig over there.
Yang Haiyan thought of the miserable pig's cry just now, and he understood.
Although Yang Haiyan was there, Yang Dahua was a female relative after all, so he couldn't stay here for long, so he simply went to the kitchen and watched everyone busy. He felt it was quite interesting after being busy for several days.
After a while, Han Zhen came: "Are you killing pigs?" Qin
Fang nodded.
Yang Dahua saw him coming and stood up and came over: "Husband."
Han Zhen hadn't seen her for a few days and missed her a lot. She was two months pregnant. Although her belly was not obvious, the fetus was not stable at this time, which was the most worrying thing.
Yang Haiyan also stood up and came over: "Let's make a roast pig feast tomorrow. It's New Year's Eve, everyone should be happy. Tomorrow night, Yang Baifu and Sister Dahua should also come to eat together and celebrate New Year's Eve together." The reason why she called was not because of Yang Dahua. If it was just because of her relationship with Yang Dahua, she would naturally not invite anyone to her home to celebrate the New Year. It was mainly because of the relationship between Qin Fang and Han Zhen. The two were from the same place and had a good relationship. Qin Fang would be happier to have a companion during the New Year.
Han Zhen did not refuse: "You're welcome."
After the pigs were processed in the morning, they naturally had to eat fresh meat at noon, so Qin Fang and Yang Dahua also had lunch here. After lunch, they went back.
After they went back, Yang Haiyan pestered Qin Fang and asked about the past few days.
Qin Fang told her everything: "...Fortunately, Manzi left when it was dark, otherwise even if Han Zhen dressed up, he might not be able to deceive Manzi's eyes." Han Zhen was wearing Manzi's clothes at the time, and his face was covered with dust and sand. In addition, Manzi was under great pressure at the time. When he saw his people coming, he believed it without asking for confirmation. He could only say that he was lucky.
When Yang Haiyan heard this, she didn't think so. Even though some of the plots had changed, Han Zhen was still the male protagonist. So she felt that Han Zhen was able to meet Manzi and successfully rescue the young master, and part of the male protagonist's halo existed. Moreover, Han Zhen's opportunity to show up this time and gain face in front of the prince was also given by Qin Fang. So, the hero is the hero. Even though the opportunity comes late, it will still come.
But no matter what, the one who is really amazing this time, the one that the prince is grateful to, is Qin Fang. If it weren't for his plan, things wouldn't have been so successful. Yang Haiyan praised: "My husband is really amazing. He can think of such a plan. I don't understand why he is under such psychological pressure."
Qin Fang was a little embarrassed by his praise. His ears turned slightly red, but he didn't talk about his own credit. He said truthfully: "This is not my own idea. It's about the plan of using psychological warfare tactics in the military book. I took advantage of it and thought of this plan."
Yang Haiyan: "That's also what I think ..." You are awesome."
Qin Fang was so flattered that he was ready to run away: "... Then I... I will continue to read military books."
Yang Haiyan: "Okay, let's go together. By the way, husband, it's New Year's Day, you should go and write couplets."
Qin Fang quickly refused: "No, my handwriting is not good." Although he had a lot of time to read, after all, he could read when he had nothing to do in the barracks, but he had less time to practice calligraphy, because it was not convenient for him to practice calligraphy when he was in the barracks.
Yang Haiyan: "So what, if you write more, you will naturally get it. And there are calligraphy copies, husband can refer to the calligraphy copies to write. You know, husband is the head of the family, and the couplets in the family are written by the head of the family, which is also very meaningful."
Seeing Yang Haiyan say this, Qin Fang reluctantly agreed.
The couple returned to the study, one grinding and the other writing. Qin Fang's handwriting is naturally not good. If you insist, it's like a novice who has just learned to write, but it's much better than a novice. In ancient times, most novice writers were children who had just been enlightened. Children's wrists had limited strength, so the words they wrote were soft and fluffy. But Qin Fang was not like that. He had great strength, so the words he wrote were much harder.
Qin Fang wrote a few words and was a little depressed: "My handwriting is really ugly. It will make people laugh. You should write it."
Yang Haiyan: "No, write it this year, write it next year, year after year, and everyone will see that your husband's handwriting is getting better year by year."
Qin Fang had no choice but to write all the couplets with a red face under Yang Haiyan's encouragement.
The couple wrote couplets in the study, and the servants were not idle either. In the kitchen, Aunt Lian, Aunt Fan, Aunt Hong, and Aunt Yu were making dumplings and steamed buns. The quantity was so large that it was shocking. There were many kinds of stuffing for the dumplings, some with meat, some with vegetables. From the afternoon to midnight, the four of them made about 2,000 dumplings and 2,000 steamed buns without stuffing.
In the afternoon, Uncle Hong led a team of vehicles to deliver these 4,000 dumplings and steamed buns to the military camp. When
the soldiers of the 18th District heard the news, more than a thousand people came to the back door of the military camp.
The soldiers said, "Uncle Hong, is this what Madam Qin asked you to bring us?"
Uncle Hong: "Yes, one meat bun, one vegetable bun, and two steamed buns for each person. Madam said that these are for you to celebrate the New Year."
The soldiers expressed their gratitude, "Uncle Hong, please come again tomorrow and we will pick up firewood and deliver it to the captain's house. Please help us thank Madam."
Uncle Hong hurriedly said, "No, no. Madam said that the more than a thousand bundles of firewood you sent before can be exchanged for more than ten taels of silver. So these buns and steamed buns were actually bought with the money you picked up for the firewood. You don't owe Madam anything, so don't burden yourself. If you send firewood again, Madam will feel embarrassed to accept it."
How could Yang Haiyan take advantage of them? If this word gets out, it will have a very bad impact on Qin Fang.
Soon, the family knew about this matter, and those who wanted to take advantage of this matter immediately gave up the idea in their hearts. If they can't make money, why do they bother to make things and send them?
Uncle Hong returned to Qianfu's house and rushed to the New Year's Eve dinner.
The highlight of the New Year's Eve dinner is roasted pig, which is roasted in the fire, so it is not eaten in the house, but eaten outside. In this way, it is a bit like a bonfire party.
A pig is divided into two halves, one half is for the servants and the other half is for the master. After all, if the servants and the master eat together, they will be timid and unhappy. And some rules must be cultivated, otherwise the master and the servants will eat together and get used to it. In the ancient times with clear class divisions, this was not a good thing for the servants.
Yang Haiyan, Qin Fang, Han Zhen, Yang Dahua and Kunshi gathered together, the three men were responsible for cutting the meat, and the two women were responsible for eating. There was soup next to the roasted pork, and everyone could serve themselves if they wanted to.
Kunshi: "I have lived to this age, but today is still the happiest day." Of course, Kunshi is not very old, only 26 years old, a few years older than Qin Fang and Han Zhen.
Han Zhen: "That's right, I never thought that life could be like this before." Fortunately, he left that home and now has his own home.
Qin Fang said nothing, took a knife and cut the meat for Yang Haiyan. Yang Haiyan liked to eat the meat slightly burnt, which tasted especially delicious, so Qin Fang cut the burnt meat for her.
Yang Haiyan took the plate, picked up the meat with chopsticks, and fed Qin Fang a mouthful: "Husband."
Qin Fang opened his mouth and ate it.
Yang Dahua sat next to Yang Haiyan. She and Han Zhen had a good relationship, and they had never had a quarrel since they got married. But she was a little embarrassed to feed a man like Yang Haiyan. She glanced at Han Zhen and saw that Han Zhen was cutting the meat. She thought to herself, when my husband cuts the meat for me later, should I feed him?
She thought so, but after Han Zhen gave her the cut meat, she pulled his clothes and said, "Husband, let's eat together." She had no choice but to not feed him, as she felt so ashamed. But looking at Yang Haiyan and the others, she was envious.
Han Zhen certainly wouldn't be polite: "Okay."
Not long after the roast pork feast started, neighbors came to visit, but they were all centurions, and the women didn't come. They were all centurions under General Ao, and they were familiar with Qin Fang. They came to take a look when they smelled the fragrance, which was nothing. Yang Haiyan asked Aunt Fan to prepare two sets of tableware to entertain the centurions who lived on their left and right. With so many men around, Yang Haiyan and Yang Dahua couldn't sit here. Fortunately, they had small appetites and were full, so they sat by the fire where the soup was burning. Now that their men were there, there were no other men next to them, so it wouldn't damage their reputation if the news got out.
Yang Dahua suddenly thought of something: "By the way, Haiyan, my husband said that we will go to the Yonghe Marquis' Mansion in the county city on the third day of the Lunar New Year?"
Yang Haiyan already knew from Qin Fang: "Yes, then Sister Dahua can go with us, we have a donkey cart and it will be convenient."
Yang Dahua agreed, of course: "That's fine. But Haiyan, what should we prepare when the time comes?" She had never had any experience in this area, so she was unsure.
This... If Yang Haiyan were to make some snacks by herself, she would just have to make some. They didn't have to prepare anything luxurious when they went to the Marquis' Mansion. But if they were to go with Yang Dahua, they would have to consider Yang Dahua's situation. Yang Dahua doesn't know how to make snacks. If she prepared snacks, even if she didn't mean to compete with others, Yang Dahua would be embarrassed if she didn't prepare something suitable. It's just like when there's a wedding banquet at a relative's house and they need to give gifts, the sisters-in-law would discuss it. Yang Haiyan thought about it and had an idea in her mind: "What is Sister Dahua's best skill?"
Yang Dahua was silent for a while after hearing this. She didn't have anything she was best at.
Yang Haiyan seemed to understand the meaning of her silence: "Sister Dahua's needlework is pretty good now. Why don't you make a doll for the young man and the young lady in the Marquis' Mansion?"
Yang Dahua heard it and said: "What is a doll? How to make it?"
Yang Haiyan said: "Just use cloth and cotton to make a small animal or a small flower that looks like a real thing.
