85, Chapter 85

When it was time to get off duty, Qin Fang couldn't wait to go home. He was eager and excited. He wanted to share his joy with Yang Haiyan right away.

However, after Wu Shuai took him away from the military camp, his eagerness slowly calmed down. The warm spring breeze blew by, making him suddenly reluctant to leave this place. ‌Get up. This is the beginning of his seventh year here. He originally thought he would stay here for the rest of his life. Even if it is not a lifetime, it will be half a lifetime. When he reaches middle age, he will go back to his hometown with his wife to provide for his parents.

But fate arranged another direction for him.

Suddenly, Wu Shuai stopped. Qin Fang looked at the setting sun in the distance. He had watched the setting sun for six full years. He was still a little confused when he thought that he could no longer look at it in the future. Although it can be seen in other places, I always feel that the sunset here is different from the sunset elsewhere.

"Army?" Kunshi caught up with Qin Fang. When he saw Qin Fang stop, he chased after him. Your Excellency has been promoted. As a private guard and the captain of the private guard, Kunshi is undoubtedly the second happiest person, even second only to Qin Fang.

Qin Fang said: "We will leave in half a month. Do you feel that the place that you never observed carefully is now particularly missed?"

Kunshi followed Qin Fang's line of sight and looked towards the setting sun. When he spoke, he immediately smiled and said, "I am a rough man and I don't know about nostalgia. But I have lived here for a long time, and I have become accustomed to the grass and grass here. I’m stunned, I’m really not used to having to leave suddenly, but I feel very safe with the army here.”

‌Probably just pursuing ‌faith. As a private guard, he didn't have to think about anything. He would follow wherever his master was.

When Qin Fang heard this, he also laughed. But his smile contained the responsibility that he had just understood, which he understood from Kun Shi's words.

Yes, the private guards can rely on him, the school captain 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 support himself. He gave them a share of peace, and also gave a share of peace to his wife and his future children.

From this moment on, Qin Fang felt that his responsibilities were even heavier. But this doubled weight did not make him feel breathless. On the contrary, it made him more confident and powerful.

"Drive...Wu Shuai, let's go home."

Wu Shuai shouted and immediately started running.

Kunshi tightened the reins of his horse and followed him quickly.

The setting sun was left behind them, feeling farther and farther away. But when Qin Fang turned around, he could still see it, as if it hadn't changed.

When we got home, the door of the house was open, and the gatekeeper was Uncle Hong. Speaking of which, Uncle Hong has been guarding the door for them for a year and a half. Uncle Hong is responsible for guarding the door and traveling to the countryside. Later, there were private guards, who could drive carriages. When there were no private guards, Uncle Hong was responsible for everything, and he was also quite busy.

However, Uncle Hong is very busy and happy. Because he remembered Yang Haiyan's kindness in taking in Aunt Hong and knew that Aunt Hong had little work, he made up for Aunt Hong's work. From being the son of a child to an Orion, and then to selling himself, Uncle Hong's life has also been full of ups and downs, but his current life also gives him great satisfaction. People probably can only feel satisfied when they are busy.

When Uncle Hong is guarding the door, he can still take his son with him. Hong Datou is three years old this year. Although it is a false age, in terms of one year old, he is only two years old. But Hong Datou grows better than ordinary two or three-year-old children. After all, he grew up drinking goat's milk.

There are already four goats in the pastry shop, and the goat milk is not that abundant. At least Lu Baifu's son had already weaned. He was given it for free in the first place, but there wasn't enough goat milk, and they moved to the other side, so he naturally weaned.

Now the only ones drinking goat milk are Qin Siya, Qin Shoucheng, and Kun Daying and Hong Datou.

Of course, if Qin Fang stayed at home for the night, he would also have to wake up in the morning. As for Yang Haiyan, she secretly drank milk from the platform.

Uncle Hong saluted: "Your Excellency is back."

Qin Fang hummed and said, "Uncle Hong, thank you for your hard work."

Kunshi said from behind: "Uncle Hong will change his words in the future and call him General."

Uncle Hong was puzzled: "‌Army?"

Kunshi said happily: "My lord has been promoted. He used to be a seventh-grade captain, but now he is a fifth-grade military virtue officer."

Uncle Hong was stunned, and then said loudly: "Congratulations to the ‌ army, congratulations to the ‌ army."

Hong Datou was playing with the mud by himself, but was startled by Uncle Hong's loud voice. When he saw his father kneeling on the ground, he stupidly knelt down too, and then shouted: "Come back, sir." "Uncle Hong took care of him most of the time and played in Qianfu's house, so he often heard that his father was coming back. After a while, he remembered it. He remembered that Qin Fang came back. Sometimes I call the adults back, and I can say a sentence from time to time.

Qin Fang handed the reins to Uncle Hong and walked to Hong Datou. He touched Hong Datou's head and praised: "Datou has grown taller today." Datou's head is actually not big. ‌A bit small. The reason why he was named Datou was because he wanted his head to be bigger.

Hong Datou smiled cheerfully.

There were no children of a certain age in the house. Occasionally, when Qin Shoucheng and Kun Daying were around, Hong Datou would play with them like a little tail. But most of the time, when Qin Shoucheng and the others were practicing martial arts in the afternoon, Hong Datou would squat on the side. Although he squatted in a weird way, children had their own fun.

There were no dangerous places such as ponds and rockery in the house, so even if Hong Datou played by himself, there would be no accidents. 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, "Grow up."

Qin Fang likes children now, probably because he thinks that his wife has already had a 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 the 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 they didn't hear clearly what he shouted.

When Qin Fang entered the main courtyard, the main courtyard was serving dishes. The master is back, doesn't it mean that the dishes are served? It's just strange. According to the rules, the master is on night duty in March. Why is he back at this time?

Yang Haiyan stood at the door and watched Qin Fang come in. Unlike his usual cold expression, today he smiled as soon as he saw her in the yard.

Yang Haiyan couldn't help but wonder: "Seeing that my husband is so happy, is there any good news?" For some reason, she felt that Qin Fang was 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 was sometimes like a big boy in his twenties.

Yang Haiyan shook her head: "I heard Uncle Hong's voice, but I didn't hear it clearly. It seemed to be congratulations."

Qin Fang stared at her for a while, a little disappointed. He was expecting her to call him a 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 silk fabric was made of fine silk. This color was a display and symbol of the emperor's power. Moreover, it used a black ox horn axis. The original owner didn't understand some of it, but Yang Haiyan knew. In the past two years, when she was free, she read almost all the books related to Qiguo, and there were also studies on the imperial edict. The imperial edict is a written order issued by the emperor, but the shaft handles are also different 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: "What is the promotion of the husband? A fifth-rank guerrilla general?" The imperial edict is in Qin Fang's hand, it must be an imperial edict for Qin Fang. Looking at the shaft, it 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. ‌ And the guerrilla generals above the thousand-man commander are just the fifth rank, so Yang Haiyan guessed that Qin Fang was promoted to a fifth-rank guerrilla general.

In fact, from a normal perspective, 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 taught him some common sense about the imperial edict: "... So, my husband, you have to read all the books in the study when you have time." He first learned to read and then studied the art of war in the past two years. He has not read other books. Regarding the history and laws of Qi State, Yang Haiyan explained them to him when they were together. But it is not as good as reading them 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 was amazing, not just this.

Yang Haiyan heard him admit it, 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 said that, he took out another imperial edict, "Yan Yan, this is for you."

It was the first time that Yang Haiyan saw him smile so wantonly. His flamboyant smile softened his resolute 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. He was always silent on weekdays, making people think that he had a cold personality. But in fact, it was not entirely true.

Qin Fang saw her looking at him like this, and 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."
