When it was time to get off duty, Qin Fang couldn't wait to go home. He was anxious and excited. He wanted to share his joy with Yang Haiyan right away.
However, after Wu Shuai took him away from the barracks, his originally anxious mood slowly calmed down. The warm spring breeze and fruits made him suddenly reluctant to leave this place. This was the beginning of his seventh year here. He originally thought that he would stay here for the rest of his life. Even if not for a lifetime, it would be half a lifetime. When he reached middle age, he would go back to his hometown with his wife to take care of his parents.
But fate arranged another path for him.
Suddenly, Wu Shuai stopped. Qin Fang looked at the sunset in the distance. He had watched this sunset for six years. Thinking that he would not be able to watch it anymore, he felt a little confused. Although he could watch it in other places, he always felt that the sunset here was different from the sunsets in other places.
"General?" Kun Shi caught up with Qin Fang. Seeing Qin Fang stop, he chased to his side. The master was promoted. As a private guard, and the captain of the private guard, Kun Shi was undoubtedly the second happiest person. In fact, his joy was second only to Qin Fang.
Qin Fang said, "We will leave in half a month. Do you feel that this place, which you never observed carefully before, is particularly nostalgic now?"
Kunshi followed Qin Fang's line of sight and looked at the setting sun. He said, "I am a rough man and don't know what nostalgia is. But I have lived here for a long time and have become accustomed to the plants and trees here. I am still a little uncomfortable to leave suddenly. But with the general here, I feel at ease."
This is probably the pursuit and belief. As a private guard, he doesn't have to think about anything. Wherever the master is, he will follow.
Qin Fang heard it and laughed. But his smile carried the responsibility he had just understood, which he understood from Kun Shi's words.
Yes, the private guards can rely on him, the captains can rely on him, and even the thousand soldiers who will be selected to defend the city can rely on him. However, he cannot rely on others, he must hold it up on his own. He wants to give them peace of mind, and also give his wife and his future children peace of mind.
From this moment on, Qin Fang felt that the responsibilities and burdens on his shoulders were heavier. But this doubled weight did not make him feel breathless, but made him more confident and stronger.
"Drive... General Wu, let's go home."
General Wu shouted and ran on the horse.
Kun Shi tightened the reins and quickly followed.
The setting sun was left behind them, and it felt farther and farther away. But when Qin Fang looked back, he could still see it, as if it had not changed.
When he got home, the gate of the house was open, and the one guarding the gate was Uncle Hong. Speaking of which, Uncle Hong had been guarding the gate for them for a year and a half. It was Uncle Hong who was responsible for guarding the gate and running around the countryside. Later, they had private guards, and private guards could catch carriages. When they didn't have private guards, Uncle Hong was responsible for everything, and he was also very busy.
But Uncle Hong was very happy when he was busy. Because he remembered Yang Haiyan's kindness in taking in Aunt Hong, and he also knew that Aunt Hong had less work, so he wanted to make up for Aunt Hong's work. From being a son of a student to a hunter, and then to selling himself, Uncle Hong's life has had its ups and downs, but his current life also gives him great satisfaction. Perhaps people can only feel satisfied when they are busy.
When Uncle Hong was guarding the door, he could also bring his son with him. Hong Datou is three years old this year, although he is a virtual age. According to the age, he is only two years old. But Hong Datou is better than the two or three-year-old children of ordinary families. After all, he is a child who grew up drinking goat milk.
There are already four sheep in the snack shop, and goat milk is not that sufficient. At least Lu Baifu's son has died. It was originally given away for free. There is not enough goat milk, and they moved here, so naturally it stopped.
The only ones who drink goat milk now are Qin Si Ya, Qin Shou Cheng, Kun Daying and Hong Da Tou.
Of course, if Qin Fang stays at home overnight, she will also have a share in the morning. As for Yang Haiyan, she drinks milk from the platform secretly.
Uncle Hong saluted: "My lord is back."
Qin Fang hummed and said with great pleasure: "Uncle Hong, you have worked hard."
Kun Shi said from behind: "Uncle Hong, you have to change your name in the future and call him general."
Uncle Hong was puzzled: "General?"
Kun Shi said happily: "Our lord has been promoted. He used to be a captain of a thousand men of the seventh rank, and now he is a general of the fifth rank of Wude." Uncle Hong
was stunned, and then he said loudly: "Congratulations, general, congratulations, general."
Hong Da Tou had originally He was playing in the mud and was frightened by Uncle Hong's loud voice. Seeing his father kneeling on the ground, he knelt down foolishly and shouted, "Master is back." Most of the time, Uncle Hong took care of him and played in Qianfu's house, so he often heard his father say that Master is back. Over time, he remembered that he had to shout Master is back when Qin Fang came back, and he would occasionally say it.
Qin Fang handed the reins to Uncle Hong and walked to Hong Datou. He touched Hong Datou's head and praised him, "Datou has grown taller today." Datou's head is actually not big, but a little small. The reason why he was named Datou is that he hopes his head will be bigger.
Hong Datou smiled happily.
There were no children of this age in the house. Occasionally, when Qin Shoucheng and Kun Daying were around, Hong Datou would play with them like a little follower. But most of the time, when Qin Shoucheng and his friends were practicing martial arts in the afternoon, Hong Datou would squat beside them. Although he squatted in a weird way, children have their own fun. There
were no dangerous places such as ponds and rockery in the house, so even if Hong Datou played by himself, nothing would happen. But Uncle Hong rarely let him play by himself, and basically he took him with him.
Hong Datou climbed up with a smile, then touched his head and said, "You've grown up."
Qin Fang likes children now, probably because he thinks that he and his wife have already had their wedding night and will have a child in the near future, so the fatherly love in his heart rises, and he thinks that children from any family are extremely cute. The
lower courtyard is closest to the door, and Uncle Hong's voice is loud, so everyone in the lower courtyard heard it. Everyone came out of the house and looked at the door.
The noise had not yet reached the main courtyard, but the main courtyard also heard Uncle Hong's voice, but did not hear clearly what he was shouting.
When Qin Fang entered the main courtyard, the main courtyard was serving dishes. The master is back, doesn't that mean that the dishes are going to be served? It's just strange. Logically, the master is on night duty in March. Why did he come back at this time?
Yang Haiyan stood at the door, watching Qin Fang come in. Unlike his usual stern expression, today he smiled when he saw her in the yard.
Yang Haiyan couldn't help but wonder: "My husband is so happy, is there any good news?" For some reason, she felt that Qin Fang looked particularly radiant today.
Qin Fang said mysteriously: "Did you hear what Uncle Hong said just now?" In front of outsiders, he was a steady captain, but in front of her, he sometimes acted like a big boy in his twenties.
Yang Haiyan shook her head: "I did hear Uncle Hong's voice, but I didn't hear the details clearly. It seemed like he was congratulating me."
Qin Fang stared at her for a while, feeling a little disappointed. He had expected her to call him General. But it was only for a moment, and then he took out the imperial edict from his arms: "Here, look."
Yang Haiyan hadn't taken it yet, but when Qin Fang took it out of his arms, she saw it. The bright yellow brocade fabric was made of the finest silk. This color was a display and symbol of the emperor's power. Moreover, a black ox horn shaft was used. The original owner didn't understand these, but Yang Haiyan knew. In the past two years, when she was free, she read almost all the books related to Qi State, and there were also studies on the imperial edicts. The imperial edict is a written order issued by the emperor, but the shaft handles are also divided differently for different ranks. For example: the first rank is a jade shaft, the second rank is a black rhino horn shaft, the third rank is a gold-plated shaft, and the fourth and fifth ranks are black ox horn shafts. The imperial edict in Qin Fang's hand is a black ox horn shaft, so...
Yang Haiyan smiled slightly: "My husband has been promoted? A fifth-rank guerrilla general?" The imperial edict is in Qin Fang's hand, so it must be an imperial edict for Qin Fang. Looking at the shaft, this is an imperial edict for a fourth-rank or fifth-rank official. Qin Fang was originally a seventh-rank military general, and the possibility of being promoted to the fourth rank immediately is extremely small. Moreover, the guerrilla generals above the rank of centurion are just the fourth rank, so Yang Haiyan guessed that Qin Fang was promoted to a fifth-rank guerrilla general.
In fact, from a normal point of view, Yang Haiyan's speculation is not wrong.
So Qin Fang was curious: "Yan Yan, how did you guess it?"
Yang Haiyan took the imperial edict and supplemented him with common sense about the imperial edict: "...So, my husband, you have to read all the books in the study when you have time." In the past two years, he first learned to read, and then studied the art of war. He has not read other books. Regarding the history and laws of the Qi Kingdom, Yang Haiyan explained them to him when they were together. But this is not as impressive as reading it word by word.
Qin Fang suddenly realized: "So that's it, Yan Yan, you are really amazing." He always thought that his wife was amazing, but after listening to her analysis, he realized that his wife's amazingness is not just this.
After hearing his admission, Yang Haiyan stepped back a few steps and saluted him: "Congratulations, General Qin, congratulations, General Qin."
Qin Fang couldn't help laughing when he saw this. He stepped forward and helped her up: "Qin Yiren, congratulations." As he spoke, he took out another imperial edict, "Yanyan, this is for you."
It was the first time that Yang Haiyan saw him laugh so wantonly. Zhang Yang's smile softened his tough and cold face, and she couldn't help but look at him in a daze. It turned out that this man could smile like this. On weekdays, he was always silent, which made people think that he had a cold personality. But in fact, it was not the case.
Seeing her looking at him like this, Qin Fang couldn't help but lower his head and pecked her lips like a bird. Then he said in a low voice: "Don't look at me like that."
