Chapter 643: Night Banquet in the Army
Song Xinshu was also very emotional after listening to it, she couldn't imagine that Zhou Munan had such an identity and could live a peaceful life, which was really unimaginable.
"It's okay like this, and I have avoided the disputes in the palace, so I don't have to worry about it every day."
"I'm afraid it's difficult, no matter what he says, he is also the emperor's son, there will always be people who regard him as a thorn in the side, I have known him for so many years, and he has experienced many assassinations."
"He didn't come to the army just to visit you this time, right?" He must have followed himself all the way here, and there must have been some purpose.
Su Qing grabbed her shoulders and said, "He hasn't told me yet, if he has something, he will definitely tell me, but you are not like before now, and you have a lot more things to think about than before." ”
Song Xinshu leaned on his arms and said: "I will also improve, it is better to think more about everything, you have known him for a long time, I definitely don't have that trust in him, it is better to think more." ”
"My name is Zhou Mu Nan tonight, you can learn more about it."
Su Qing still needed to discuss the military with the military during the day, and Song Xin was bored when he stayed there, so he came to the kitchen to help with something.
As soon as she entered the kitchen, she saw a stout lady choosing vegetables around her apron, and when she came in, she first had a surprised expression, and then patted her thigh and said: "You are what they call the general's wife, this little pink face, I said that the one worthy of General Su must be a beautiful girl!" ”
Song Xinshu was embarrassed by what she said, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Sister, I'll help you do something, I must prepare a lot of things tonight." ”
"You put it away, how can I let you work, I'm used to it, these jobs are nothing." Sister Li saw Song Xinshu pick up the vegetable basket and hurriedly walked over and snatched it from her.
"It's okay, I'm staying in the tent too, so I might as well come over and find something to do." Song Xinshu took a small bench and sat beside her and helped her remove the vegetable leaves on the outside of the cabbage.
Sister Li saw that she was very sincere, so she didn't stop her anymore, and chose the dishes with her, she watched Song Xinshu move quickly, but she didn't look like a rich lady who hadn't done a job.
Sister Li asked curiously, "Mrs. General, do you have a child with the general?" ”
Song Xinshu saw that she asked so bluntly, her face turned a little red, and she said embarrassedly: "It's okay for you to call me Xinshu, we haven't yet." ”
Sister Li nodded and said: "It's better to be early, children, you are still young and in good health, hurry up and have a few more, when the time comes, you will definitely be as beautiful as you, as powerful as General Su." ”
"Sister, what are you going to cook tonight?" Song Xinshu looked at the ingredients in the kitchen and quickly changed the topic.
"What can I eat in this barracks, but this time, thanks to the batch of grain and grass you sent, these children can also eat some good food, make a few dishes tonight, and then stew a big pot of meat!"
Song Xinshu saw that she spoke so well, and the movements in her hands were also very fast, and she cut several Chinese cabbages in a short time.
"Eldest sister, this is the bitter cold of the barracks, why do you cook here?"
"It's not because my son is here!" When Sister Li mentioned her son, a proud smile appeared on her face.
Song Xinshu said in surprise: "That's the case! ”
Sister Li couldn't stop talking about her son, and said endlessly: "My husband died when I was young, leaving only such a son, when the imperial court came to recruit soldiers, I said nothing and didn't let him come, but my arms couldn't twist my thighs, so naturally I followed him wherever he went." ”
Sister Li sighed and said, "And there are no eyes on the battlefield, with today and no tomorrow, where can I rest assured, it is better to follow by my side, what is the point of being bitter?" ”
Song Xinshu also felt very emotional when she heard it, parents all over the world have the same heart, just when she was thinking silently, the soldiers finished the first stage of training and rushed in.
Song Xinshu suddenly saw so many soldiers rushing in, and thought that something was going on in the barracks, so he couldn't help but get nervous.
But after the soldiers came in, they all gathered around Sister Li and said, "What are you going to do for us tonight?" ”
"I'll stew you a big pot of meat tonight, so that you can drink and have a good time tonight!"
As soon as everyone heard Sister Li's words, they were all happy in an instant, and they all said: "We know that there is something delicious, let's see where the meat is?" ”
After they finished speaking, they stretched their necks to look around, and Sister Li hit a small soldier on the head with chopsticks and said, "The general's wife is still here, you are so unruly!" ”
At this time, everyone saw Song Xinshu standing in the corner, and they were all restrained in an instant, and they all bent down towards her to greet her: "Hello, madam!" ”
Song Xinshu also bent down towards them, she was used to this kind of battle here, and she was not as overwhelmed as she was at the beginning.
However, she can see that the officers and soldiers in this army have a very good relationship with Sister Li, and treat her as a mother-like intimacy, and another such "mother" is also a very warm thing in the army.
The horn sounded outside, and the soldiers rushed out again, and hurried to training, and if they went to play, they would be punished.
Song Xinshu said: "Eldest sister, why didn't you see your son?" ”
"Oh, he's taming horses in the backyard, and he won't be back for a while!" As soon as Sister Li made a big effort, she put a large pot on the stove and put the bacon brought by Song Xinshu in it.
After a while, Mei'er also trotted in, standing in the doorway and peering in.
"Mei'er, why are you here, is Xue Qing wanting something?" Song Xin stretched out his hand and beckoned Mei'er over.
Mei'er shook her head and said, "No, Sister Xueqing is asleep, I'll see if there's anything I need help with." ”
Sister Li said with a smile: "Is this child Madame's sister, she is really beautiful." ”
"She's my little henchman." Song Xinshu smiled and touched Mei'er's head, and asked her to sweep up the vegetable leaves on the ground, Su Xueqing was bored when she fell asleep, so it was better to let her stay here with her.
Although Song Xinshu said that she would come to help, but most of the work Sister Li didn't let her interfere, and she finished it in a hurry, and when the night was getting darker outside, tonight's dishes were ready.
There are no fresh vegetables in the army, only stewed cabbage and potatoes, but for the soldiers, this is already a delicacy, and when there is a shortage of food on weekdays, they can only cook some cabbage and soak rice to eat.
The smell of meat drifted down the chimney for a long time, the soldiers knew that there was good wine and good food tonight, and they couldn't bear it anymore, Su Qing didn't want everyone to train too hard today, so he ended the training early and set up a fire in an open field.
Su Qing came to the kitchen and saw Song Xinshu preparing dishes and chopsticks, so he walked over to help: "Xinshu, have you worked hard today?" ”
"It's all a break, most of them are the eldest sister is busy, and I'm all doing it." Song Xinshu felt happy when she saw Su Qing, she was going to leave after a while, and she now cherished every moment with him.
"General Su, you are so blessed, with such a gentle and capable lady, the soldiers and commanders in this barracks will be envious to death!"
"Sister Li made fun of me again." Su Qing also felt that since Song Xinshu came, his whole person had become softer, and he no longer thought about the war all the time, and his tense nerves began to relax.
In the evening, the soldiers gathered together, everyone's faces were reflected in the firelight, and Song Xinshu deliberately changed into a regular dress and stood beside Su Qing.
"This is my wife Song Xinshu, I still need to take care of everyone in the barracks during this time."
The surrounding soldiers began to applaud and coax, this war has been going on for many months, and there are few new things, the arrival of Song Xinshu made everyone feel very novel, the general was happy, and their emotions were also high.
"Everyone's task tonight is to eat and drink well!" Su Qing gave an order, and everyone took their own bowls to serve meat and vegetables, although the cold wind hung on their faces, but everyone's faces were full of happy smiles.
Song Xinshu saw that Sister Li would bring a large jar of wine with only two small soldiers, and when she opened the lid, everyone smelled the aroma of wine coming with the wind, and they all wanted to serve the wine.
Probably the person next to Sister Li was her son, Sister Li looked at the big boy in front of her with a smile, and reached out to help him sort out his clothes.
Song Xinshu felt that this little soldier was the happiest person in the entire barracks now, and when she was thinking silently, Su Qing took a bowl and put it in front of her and said, "Taste it, Sister Li's craftsmanship is very good." ”
She took a piece of meat and put it in her mouth, it was indeed delicious, no worse than what was made in those restaurants in Jinling City, she took a piece and put it in Su Qing's mouth.
"This time, Ning Zhi followed us for a while and left, saying that he had something to do, but he left in a hurry, and I didn't have time to ask him what he was going to do."
"I sent him to Jinling City this time, my intention was to assist you, I am worried that you do not have a strong leader in Jinling City, he also knows Zhou Munan, maybe he saw Zhou Munan following, so he went to do something else."
He was also a little surprised that Zhou Munan suddenly appeared in Jinling City this time, the last time he got the news, he said that he was going to travel to the south of the Yangtze River, this time he saw him a lot more relaxed than before, and she didn't talk to him well in the past two days.
A soldier pulled up the erhu, Song Xinshu looked over, and saw a big man with a beard, sitting on the stone next to the fire, the erhu in his arms was significantly smaller, and the melodious music also seemed vicissitudes under the mountains.
