138, Chapter 138

Although Wei Ting is a child of a noble family, he does not look down on others and look down on children from a humble family. In aristocratic families, there are very few people who look down upon others. Even if they are disguised, they can disguise themselves very well. Besides, Qin Fang's official position was higher than that of Wei Ting, so Wei Ting said first, "I have met General Qin."

Although Manager Chi is the chief manager around the emperor and is usually very arrogant, he never makes mistakes when it comes to etiquette: "My family has met General Qin."

Qin Fang then raised his hands and said, "Qin Fang has met you two." His tone was neither humble nor silent. He bent down slightly. Although he was not saluting, he did not accept their courtesy. It was considered polite between brothers and friends. "Master Wei, Manager Chi, please come inside."

"please."

When they arrived at the main camp, Qin Fang poured tea for them: "Everything in the military camp is simple. We only have boiled water. Please forgive me."

Wei Ting said: "General Qin, you're welcome. We are here for official business. We don't need to worry about this. What do you think, Mr. Chi?" Although Qin Fang called Wei Ting in front of him, Wei Ting's words of "you" were enough for Mr. Chi. Face-saving.

Manager Chi naturally wouldn't care about this. Although he was a person close to the emperor, eunuchs had no rank in the court. Qin Fang called Wei Ting first and then him. He was not a petty person either.

Mr. Chi piped up: "That's what Mr. Wei said."

Regardless of whether they were being polite or not, there was nothing Qin Fang could do about it. There was indeed only boiled water in the military camp. "You two have come a long way, so why not stay at the house tonight so that Qin can fulfill his duties as a landlord. Moreover, the county government post has not been inhabited for a long time, so it is estimated that no one can live there." With that, Qin Fang returned. He smiled sheepishly and said, "Speaking of which, Qin also just came to Yunxiang County."

Wei Ting and Manager Chi looked at each other, and Wei Ting said: "In that case, we won't be polite." Then, Wei Ting took out a letter and gave it to Qin Fang. Wei Ting was an imperial envoy who came under the emperor's order. Although there was no imperial edict, But there was a letter from the emperor, "General Qin, I have been ordered to come here. This letter contains matters that the emperor has told me. Please ask General Qin to be accommodating and help."

Qin Fang read the letter, and the emperor explained in the letter that he ordered Wei Ting to take someone from the Ministry of Industry to make the firecrackers. The firecrackers were the big firecrackers Qin Fang had mentioned. While the firecrackers were not completed, no one was allowed to interact with them. To contact outsiders, he ordered Qin Fang to guard and monitor their every move. If anyone contacted outsiders during this period, they would be captured immediately.

At the same time, Qin Fang also needs to cooperate with Wei Ting and the others' needs. The firewood production site is at the Beast Mountain Taoist Temple. It is hidden there and sulfur and saltpeter can be mined at any time.

Qin Fang read the letter and said to Wei Ting: "Don't worry, Mr. Wei, I will fully cooperate with everything the emperor told you in the letter. But you are tired from the journey today, and if you go to the Beast Mountain Taoist Temple, it will take an hour just to climb the mountain. I’m afraid that everyone hasn’t had enough rest and will be physically exhausted, so I’ll take you to the Beast Mountain Road tomorrow to check on the situation. What do you think?”

Wei Ting nodded: "Then I'll listen to the general's arrangements." It would take an hour just to climb the mountain, and it was really too much for Wei Ting to go now. He is a civil servant. Even if he knows some kung fu and has good skills, climbing a mountain will take a lot of energy?

After Wei Ting finished speaking, Mr. Chi said: "General Qin, we have the emperor's imperial edict in our hands, but the edict is for Mrs. Zun. We are here to let the general know. This edict is a reward for Mrs. Zun. However, since Mrs. Zun is not here, the edict cannot be read at this time.”

Qin Fang felt confident after reading Du Ke's letter. Now when Manager Chi said it, he knew what the imperial edict was. A look of surprise appeared on his face: "A reward for Zhuo Jing?" Then he stood up again. , cupped his hands towards Manager Chi and said, "Thank you Qin for reminding you." Even Wei Ting used you so politely to Manager Chi, who does Qin Fang mean to him? Of course he knows how to call Mr. Chi. What's more, he had no opinion of eunuchs at all. To put it harshly, with a background like his, if he wasn't lucky enough to become a general, what right would he have to look down on eunuchs?

The world is very realistic. Children of poor people have no right to look down on others.

General Manager Chi said politely: "General Qin, you don't have to be polite." General Manager Chi also looked at the food, and now Qin Fang was a lucky person in the emperor's heart, so General Manager Chi was naturally polite to him.

General's Mansion

Since Tao Shan left, Yang Haiyan ordered people to tidy up the yard. She arranged Wei Ting's and Manager Chi's yards next door, but they were both independent yards. Since Tao Shan didn't know the identities of Wei Ting and Manager Chi, Yang Haiyan didn't know either, but there was nothing wrong with arranging two courtyards.

Although the General's Mansion occupies a large area, it looks very simple. Yang Haiyan did not redesign the mansion. It was originally designed according to the layout of the palace, so the design is naturally impeccable. And it doesn't matter if it's simple. There are only a few of them, so there is no need to take care of every yard, just to attract mosquitoes.

The first time Yang Haiyan entertained guests, she was still nervous. She would ask Aunt Lian from time to time: "Auntie, do you think this arrangement is okay? There is also tea, and I don't know the guests' preferences. If I offend the guests because of this, what will happen to them?" I’m from the capital, so I won’t be able to wear small shoes for my husband in the future.”

At this time, Grandma Lian could handle the situation. She said: "It's hard to determine what guests like, and they don't know what they are allergic to. The simpler the food is, the better. For tea, why not just use tea leaves? We have both tea and plain water, it depends on what the guests like."

Yang Haiyan nodded: "Yes, yes, mama arranged it properly. Where are the snacks?"

Aunt Lian said: "I have sent someone to buy some at the pastry shop. Aunt Hong and Kun Zhang also added red bean cakes, mung bean cakes and soybean cakes."

Yang Haiyan thought for a moment: "By the way, the guests must have been working hard on the journey. It's too late to make dinner at this moment. Those who make wontons, dumplings and steamed buns should give the guests some food first."

Aunt Lian smiled and said, "You just gave the order and the arrangements have been made."

Yang Haiyan pondered for a while and then said: "Guests coming from the capital will definitely bring someone to serve with them. Our people only need to wait at the entrance of the courtyard. If there is no mother-in-law at home, let Kunshi arrange for the guards to wait at the entrance of the courtyard in case of A necessity.”

Aunt Lian said: "Yes, Madam, do you have any other instructions?"

Yang Haiyan sighed: "This is also the first time for me to entertain distinguished guests. I was in a mess and very nervous for a moment. I don't know what else to pay attention to. Grandma, just look at it. If there is anything I need to pay attention to, please remind me. I’m also thinking about it.”

Aunt Lian said: "Yes, I am watching."

As soon as the arrangements were made, the guard came: "Madam, the general has returned with distinguished guests from the capital. The general asked you to come over."

Yang Haiyan nodded: "Mommy, just let me go."

Aunt Lian followed.

Yang Haiyan walked out of the inner courtyard and walked towards the front yard step by step. When she used to walk, she liked to walk slowly and leisurely, but today's pace made her feel extremely heavy. The imperial edict is a symbol of imperial power in this ancient society. She never seemed to have thought that one day, she would need to kneel down to receive the order.

Tao Shan only said that the father-in-law in the palace brought her the imperial edict. It seemed that Tao Shan did not know what the imperial edict was, and she did not know what the imperial edict was. Therefore, Yang Haiyan was both nervous and uneasy. It feels very bad to have one's wealth and life in the hands of others, which is why Yang Haiyan doesn't like to go to the capital. Because you don’t have enough status, anyone can look down on you, anyone can insult you, and anyone can step on you.

Maybe for people of this era, this is nothing. They were born accustomed to such nobility and humility, such imperial rule, but she was not.

Her mentality is adjusting and changing again and again. From the beginning, I just wanted to live a good life with Qin Fang, not causing trouble, and just wanted to be safe. When Qin Fang became the captain of thousands, she felt that this was enough for them for the rest of their lives. Now Qin Fang has become a general, and the life she faces has begun to change. However, she couldn't ask Qin Fang to give up everything he had now. Even though she was afraid of what she was about to face, she couldn't tell Qin Fang to give up. It would be too selfish for a woman to ask a man to give up his career for her own sake. Although she is not a selfless person, she cannot be so selfish.

Since you can't change, you can only adapt.

Yang Haiyan saw Qin Fang. Among everyone, Qin Fang was the most conspicuous. His height stood out among the others. His straight figure was like a towering tree at this moment, which made her feel extremely reliable. He walked towards him, every step he took was steady. "Yanyan."

Suddenly, Yang Haiyan's restless heart gradually calmed down. Even if the life she has to face is beyond her control, so what? The worst outcome is death, and she has already died once, so she is fearless in the face of death. So, with him by her side, what else does she need to be afraid of? She came into this world unexpectedly, and she went from single to married and even had a flash marriage so quickly. Every aspect of this man satisfied her, inside and out. Especially his character, it seemed to be tailor-made for her. With a husband like this, she was very satisfied with this experience.

Yang Haiyan smiled slightly at him: "My husband is back." This smile put aside all worries and knots. Compared to the gentleness she had deliberately disguised before, her smile at this time was full of deep love and dependence.

Qin Fang was naturally not a fool. He had only felt her tenderness and beauty before, but he had never felt her love or her likes. But at this moment, the way she looked at him seemed to be lit by starlight. , there is a attachment that he can easily detect. Qin Fang also smiled stupidly: "Come Yanyan, I will introduce the guests to you." His voice became gentler, and his heartbeat even increased.

Qin Fang took Yang Haiyan to Wei Ting and Manager Chi: "Master Wei, Manager Chi, this is the Yang family of Zhuojing."
