The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 336 Blushing

There are countless fun and interesting things in Beijing.

However, it was useless to bring back something too fancy, so Ye Xinran took the village head to Leng's cloth shop and bought hundreds of rolls of cloth according to the number of people in the village.

"Isn't this a bit too much?" The village head was a little shocked.

"It looks like a lot now, but once you get a penny, it's gone."

Ye Xinran is still selecting nice fabrics.

"These materials look better than those from the cloth shops in our county." The head of the village looked at the materials and praised them.

"It does have to look better. After all, this is the capital. Every time the store gets new goods, the best ones are shipped here first."

After Ye Xinran said that, the village head realized that this was Ye Xinran's own family business.

“When I first met you, I felt that you were not the same kind of person as us, but I didn’t dare to think that your family background was so great.

It’s wonderful that you can now live with your real family.”

Ye Xinran said, "I never thought that I would have such a family background. It is fate that allows me to reunite with my family.

So you don’t have to worry about me. I haven’t had enough time with my family yet. When I come back from Northern Xinjiang, I will take good care of my mother!”

"Good! Good!"

The head of the village nodded and said, "When the time comes, I will find another suitable family. In this life, we should live according to our own wishes!"

Ye Xinran couldn't help but chuckle when she heard this, "Sometimes you still can't be too casual, but when I have a new husband, I will definitely bring him back for Uncle Lizheng to meet him!"

"Okay, then I'll wait!"

After the two of them chose the fabric, Ye Xinran asked the waiter to deliver it to the inn in the evening.

Then, he took the village head to the rouge shop.

"Xinran, why did you bring me here? Rouge and powder are such good things, but we can't use them there!

I have lived with your aunt all my life, and I have never seen her use this thing."

Ye Xinran asked the shop assistant to pack up all the rouge in the store for her, and then said to the head of the village: "Uncle head of the village, this is what you don't understand.

Everyone loves beauty. Just because my aunt has never used rouge doesn’t mean she doesn’t like it.

I am a woman, and I understand women's thoughts best. If you bring her a box of rouge, it might make her happier than bringing her two pounds of pork!"

"That's it?"

The village head looked at the small box of rouge, which was not even as big as his palm, and really didn't understand what was so good about it.

However, Ye Xinran didn't ask for his opinion at all. One rouge shop didn't have enough rouge, so she took the village head to another one.

Two large bags of rouge and powder were also delivered to the inn in the evening.

“That’s all right!”

The village head said seriously: "We have already spent a lot of money on these fabrics and rouge. We really can't spend any more."

“These are all for adults, what about the children?

There are so many children in the village, don't they have to bring some gifts back? "

However, Ye Xinran said that she was buying a gift for the meeting, but in fact she took the village head to a bookstore and bought a lot of books and inkstones there.

"Books are the golden house. I still hope that children can read more books and learn more words, which may be useful in the future."

After that, she handed a separately wrapped package to the village head, "Uncle Village Head, this is what I bought for my three children. Please give it to them when you go back, and tell them that I will go back to see them when I finish my work here."

"Oh, good!"

The village chief took the thing with shaking hands.

He knew that Ye Xinran was a person who valued friendship and loyalty, but when he said that Ye Xinran should marry someone else, he did not dare to mention the three children, for fear of adding burden to Ye Xinran.

Now that Ye Xinran brought gifts specifically for them, the village head knew that he had been overthinking it.

“When I return to the village, I will send the things to them as soon as possible.

During the time you were away, the children have grown taller again!"

Ye Xinran was somewhat moved by what she heard. "They are growing up now. I wonder if their appearance will change when we meet next time!"

After the two of them finished buying things, Ye Xinran sent the head of the village back to the inn and found that no one had gone out today and was all waiting at the inn.

"The head of the village is back!"

“Ye, no, Miss Lu is back!”

"Why didn't everyone go out today?" Ye Xinran greeted.

"The shopkeeper's!"

The young man looked worried, afraid of being blamed by Ye Xinran, "I have advised them for a long time, but they are unwilling to move!"

"The capital is so big that we can't finish playing even if we play for a few more days, so we won't play anymore!"

Erzhu said, "Have a good rest today so that you can have enough energy to travel tomorrow!"

"In that case, let's have a good rest today. A few people will come with me to the military camp to bring our horses back. The army will be on the road tomorrow, so it will definitely be too late."

Although everyone knew that Ye Xinran would join the army, the arrival of this day still made everyone feel depressed.

"Sister-in-law, Miss Lu, Madam Ye..."

Everybody was shouting their own names and the place was in chaos.

"Be careful on the road!"

"Yeah! You have to be careful!"

"Alright, alright, stop being sentimental. Xinran is very capable, there will definitely be no problem.

If you ask me, you should make a statement in front of Miss Lu and work hard after you go back to run our facial soap workshop well."

"I am very sure of that!"

"We are becoming more and more skilled at our work, and we can make dozens more every day!"

"Don't worry, Miss Lu. There will be no problem leaving these to us!"

Ye Xinran looked at everyone with a smile: "With you here, I can rest assured!

As long as our facial soap sells well, I will give everyone dividends when I come back!"

“What are dividends?”

Someone asked in a low voice.

The partner next to him immediately explained to him: "Dividends mean that Miss Lu will share some of the money she earns with us!"

"That's too bad! You can't do that!"

"That's right, our wages are quite high!"

"The credit belongs to everyone, and the good life also belongs to everyone. When I come back, I will make the workshop bigger. By then, you will be the masters who need apprentices, and I will give you a raise!"

"Great!"

"I'm going to be a master?"

"Oh, I never thought I would have this opportunity!"

Everyone looked excited, and they couldn't stop smiling when thinking about the good days to come.

The head of the village waved his hand to suppress the discussion of the crowd, "Okay, we can't help much, but after we go home, we must pray for our Daliang and Miss Lu every day, waiting for the day you come back!"

"Yes, we will definitely win the battle!"

"That's right, I will definitely come back safely!"

With everyone's blessings, Ye Xinran returned to the military camp.

In the military camp, all the soldiers had packed their luggage. They sat together, eating meat and drinking wine, enjoying the rewards before leaving.

"This time when I go to the northern border, I will chop off a hundred of his heads with my axe!"

"Brother Wang, you are very strong. If you chop 100 of them, I will chop 80!"

"Your ambitions are too small. We have come a long way here. If we don't kill him three or five hundred times, would it be worthy of our journey?"

"You are so arrogant, you are allowed to chop everything, so why should we chop?"

"It's okay. We'll distribute the chopped heads among everyone!"

"Go to hell with that ugly dead head. It's not even fit to be my chamber pot!"

"I'm afraid you'll be so scared you can't pee when you see it in the middle of the night!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

……

Rough and bold laughter rang out in the camp.

Ye Xinran brought the village head and others to find Zhao Yun and wanted to take away all the cattle, horses and carts there.

"I've prepared it for you a long time ago!"

Zhao Yun saw Ye Xinran and said attentively, "We are waiting for you to come and take it."

He led everyone to the barracks stables, found the villagers' horses and said, "Look, they are all here. Don't they look more energetic than when we came here?"

The cows and horses in the stable were kept separately, and there was leftover feed in the trough.

A group of livestock were resting leisurely, and they looked much more energetic than when we arrived.

"Thank you, sir. The livestock we raise are not presentable. I am sorry to trouble you!" The head of the village thanked him repeatedly.

"Hey, you can't say that! These cattle and horses delivered food here and have made contributions. Why can't they be put on the table?"

Zhao Yun said.

The grooms opened the stable door and drove all the cattle and horses out.

The villagers found their own carriages, put on the saddles, expressed their gratitude profusely, and drove away in their carriages.

Ye Xinran did not go back with them. Zhao Yun looked at the backs of the people and said enviously, "Miss Lu is righteous. These people must admire you very much."

"How did Vice General Zhao figure that out?"

Ye Xinran also watched everyone leave.

"If you didn't have respect and love in your heart, how could you treat each other so sincerely!

These people look simple, but they really value friendship. I underestimated Miss Lu before!"

Ye Xinran turned back and looked at Zhao Yun. "A journey of a thousand miles tests a person's ability. Time reveals a person's true character. This is our first meeting, so some misunderstandings are inevitable. However, this trip to the northern border will definitely allow me to have a deeper understanding of Deputy General Zhao."

“It’s such an honor!”

Zhao Yun cupped his hands!

The firelight in the military camp gradually dimmed, and the soldiers who had eaten and drunk their fill chatted together.

Some were missing their families, some were imagining life after winning the war, and some simply took out small notebooks and wrote letters to their families with charcoal pencils.

"Brother Cui, how old is your daughter?"

"Ten years old!" The man called Brother Cui said proudly, "They all say my daughter looks like me, and she will definitely not be bullied when she grows up!"

Several people looked at Brother Cui's ferocious face and nodded in agreement, "It's true that he is not easy to be bullied."

"Xiao Liuzi!" Brother Cui suddenly called out to the young man beside him, "Was Brother Cui good to you before?"

Xiao Liuzi was confused, "Okay, okay!"

"You kid, you know what's best for you!"

Brother Cui said happily, "When you come back, I'll take you to my house and introduce you to my daughter!"

"Brother Cui, that's better not to do!"

Xiao Liuzi waved his hands repeatedly.

The people around immediately started to make a noise, "Why are you still embarrassed? Brother Cui wants you to be his son-in-law! Others can only dream of such a good thing!"

"Brother Cui, I..."

Before Xiao Liuzi could say anything, someone immediately called out, "Why are you calling me Brother Cui? Call me father-in-law!"

"Scream, scream!"

Amid the crowd's jeers, Xiao Liuzi ran away with a red face!

……

The flames were dancing, making the expressions on everyone's faces look extremely vivid.

Ye Xinran stood in front of the big tent, looking at this group of people with emotion.

Whose father and brother is this?

If there were no war, if there were no enemies in the northern border, would they be at home enjoying family happiness right now?

After Prince Rui finished his meeting with his deputy generals and came out of the tent, he saw Ye Xinran's back.

"Why don't you go back? Do you regret it?"

Prince Rui walked behind Ye Xinran and asked.

“It’s true that I’m a little worried.”

Ye Xinran pulled her cloak closer, "But regret is impossible."

"Just don't regret it!"

King Rui looked at the soldiers in the distance and said, "Go back and rest early. We will set out at noon tomorrow."

Noon is the time calculated by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory.

At this time, the Yang energy is at its strongest and all things are facing the sun, which also symbolizes that this military expedition will be safe and smooth.

Although King Rui complained that it was a little late, he would not go against the will of God at this moment.

"Is King Rui worried?"

Ye Xinran was very curious.

For those of them who fight on the battlefield, do they feel afraid before going out to fight?

"Since you have chosen this path, there is nothing to worry about!"

King Rui exhaled lightly, "Maybe everyone wants to live a peaceful life, but someone has to do dangerous things.

Many of these people have traveled with me all over the country, and they know what each expedition means.

But we have no way back, we can only move forward.”

"I see!"

Ye Xinran nodded.

"A strong general has no weak soldiers. The soldiers that King Rui brings must be as brave as you. King Rui doesn't need to worry about me on the way. I can take care of myself."

"I will arrange for a deputy general to take care of you, but if you really encounter danger, you must be able to protect yourself. I won't devote too much attention to you!"

"Got it! Don't worry, Prince Rui!"

After the two finished talking, Zhao Yun came over and told Ye Xinran that all the seasoning packets had been packed and loaded.

In addition to the three carts of seasoning packages that the fireman was responsible for keeping, each person also had a package in his hand and carried it on his back.

In this way, even if you encounter an emergency and are separated from the main force, you will not starve to death due to lack of food.

"Now that everything is ready, I'll go back and rest."

Ye Xinran said goodbye to the two of them.

"Mother and Changqing are still waiting for me at home."

"I'll take Miss Lu out."

Zhao Yun took the initiative to lead the way for her.

When Ye Xinran returned home, the courtyard of the Prince Qin's Mansion was still brightly lit.

Leng Qingyu stood at the door and looked out, anxiously waiting for Ye Xinran's return.

"Mom, why don't you wait in the house? It's so cold outside!"

Ye Xinran jumped off the carriage and walked forward to hold Leng Qingyu's hand.

Leng Qingyu pulled her daughter to look at it again and again, and said with some dissatisfaction: "You are going on a long trip tomorrow, and you didn't even come back early to accompany me today!"

"I'm back now!" Ye Xinran quickly comforted her, "I came back as soon as I finished my work!"

"Sister, you're finally back. Come in and see what mother has prepared for you!" Lu Changqing heard the two people talking and walked out of the yard.
