Chapter 499: Distressed
Xie Yutang's tirade, the Nine Princes were shocked, "In front of this? ”
Xie Yutang glanced at him angrily, "Naturally, she is my wife, and I feel more sorry for her than you." ”
This Ninth Prince, every time he is very concerned about Chi Wan's affairs, Xie Yutang has eaten a lot of dry vinegar, if he didn't know that Chi Wan only has himself in his heart, he really wants to separate these two people, and if they don't meet, there will be a lot less trouble.
Chi Wan didn't know about the conversation between the two, she was still thinking about the idea of sweet potatoes, thinking about how to use this hen that could only lay eggs more thoroughly.
On this day, Xie Yutang returned home and found that Chi Wan was not there, and only after asking the servant did he know that she had gone out early in the morning.
Xie Yutang waited for a while, feeling a little anxious, it had begun to rain at this time, and it was dripping, and the wind was blowing, which made people shiver, there were few people outside, Xie Yutang was angry and anxious, this kind of weather, why was Chi Wan still outside, I don't know if I came back earlier.
Just thinking like this, a figure appeared in front of him, it was the slender Chi Wan.
Xie Yutang stepped forward in a few steps, pulled the person into his arms, hugged him hard, felt Chi Wan's body cold, and felt even more distressed in his heart.
"Why did you come back, go back and change your clothes quickly, it's troublesome to be infected with the wind and cold." She pulled Chi Wan into the house and helped with the clothes.
Behind the screen, Ji Wan was changing her clothes and talking at the same time, and her voice couldn't hide her joy.
"Yutang, you know what? Today I went to Aunt Wang's and found that she made sweet potatoes into dried sweet potatoes, which are very chewy, especially durable, and they are much longer than fresh sweet potatoes. I think we can sell sweet potatoes or dried sweet potatoes to the outside world, so that in exchange for the silver, we can buy rice, meat, and weapons and equipment. ”
The more Ji Wan spoke, the more excited she became, and she was about to dance. Suddenly, she felt that something was wrong, and when she looked back, she saw Xie Yutang standing behind her helplessly, and she was now only wearing a belly pocket.
Although she was already an old husband and wife, Chi Wan still blushed and tried her best to drive Xie Yutang out.
"Why did you come in, I'm still changing clothes, you get out quickly." Ji Wan stared at her big watery eyes and protected her chest with her hands.
Xie Yutang was calm, with a seemingly nonexistent smile on the corner of his mouth, and then unfolded a piece of clothing and said calmly, "You have changed your clothes for a long time, and if you continue like this, your body will not be able to stand it, I will help you." ”
Ji Wan was about to cry, "I don't want you to help, I'll wear it myself." ”
"Two people are faster." Xie Yutang said, and wrapped Chi Wan tightly, but did not make other small movements.
Chi Wan was relieved at this time, the flush on her face slowly subsided, could it be that just now, she was the only one thinking too much?
Xie Yutang tied the plate on her clothes, glanced at her crimson face, and said with a smile, "What are you thinking, was my lady impure just now?" ”
"Not really." Chi Wan quickly retorted.
Xie Yutang's smile widened, and Chi Wan was annoyed and ashamed, so she simply stretched out her hand and covered Xie Yutang's eyes.
"Lady, if you are like this, it will be difficult for your husband to help you get dressed correctly." Xie Yutang said this in his mouth, but the movements in his hands did not stop.
Chi Wan thought to herself, hum, liar, obviously doing a good job.
The two quarreled for a while before coming out, and Ji Wan continued the topic just now. She still feels that once the sweet potato business is completed, it will be a great income.
Because, up to now, they are the only ones in the entire Dongxuan Kingdom who have planted sweet potatoes on a large scale, and they can seize the opportunity.
"Yutang, what do you think? Once we have formed a trade inertia with the outside world, then this will be a very stable income, and in the future, we will no longer need to worry about our military salaries and rations. ”
It was as if she had seen the silver rolling in, and her eyes glinted with excitement.
"Little money fans." Xie Yutang pinched her nose.
Chi Wan protested and turned her head away, "I'm not, I'm all for the sake of your army, for the sake of our money bags, only when you have money in your hands, can you have confidence in your heart." ”
This sentence is true, like a few months ago, they were stumped by military rations, and many people fled one after another, and at that time they lost a lot of people, if there were sweet potatoes, those people would definitely stay.
A penny is hard to beat a hero, this sentence is not false at all.
"I know, Wanwan, I'll talk about this tomorrow, rest today, you see your face is a lot haggard, get a good night's sleep today." Xie Yutang coaxed.
When Chi Wan heard this, she was a little panicked and wiped her face, "Really, do I have a bad face?" ”
But as long as she is a woman, she doesn't want others to say that she has bad skin, and Chi Wan is not exempt from vulgarity, especially if this person is still her husband.
Xie Yutang's face did not change and said, "It's not that it's bad, it's the kind that lacks sleep, so go to bed first." ”
Chi Wan obediently obeyed, anyway, Xie Yutang didn't want to tell her about sweet potatoes, so she could only delay it until tomorrow.
slept until midnight, Xie Yutang was awakened by the sound of talking, and thought that Chi Wan was awake and was talking to him, only to find out that Chi Wan was still asleep, and those words were said with her eyes closed, and she was clearly talking in a dream. I couldn't help but laugh dumbly, it's so cute, I even think about it in my dreams.
Thinking like this, Chi Wan said again, "The silver is mine, and with the silver, our army can be built very quickly, so we must hurry up and make money." ”
Xie Yutang was stunned and looked at Chi Wan in a daze. She even dreamed of helping him make money.
For a while, his heart was sour and sweet, he hugged Chi Wan, kissed his forehead, and muttered in a low voice, "Wanwan, you did well enough, but I didn't do it well, and I made you think about these things every day, I'm sorry." ”
Chi Wan didn't know if she understood or not, but she drilled deeper into Xie Yutang's arms and had a good night's sleep.
"What's the matter with the general, he's been wandering all the time today?"
"Guess who will win the contest between the distracted general and the lieutenant general?"
"It's hard to say, if it were a normal time, the adjutant general would definitely not be the general's opponent, but looking at the general's state today, I think it's a bit hanging."
A large open space was deliberately opened up in the camp, and everyone surrounded Xie Yutang and a deputy general, which was the rule set by Xie Yutang, he trained the soldiers' confrontation ability, and at the same time set an example, letting everyone know that in the barracks, only if the strength is strong enough, can it be worthy of everyone's respect.
However, there is something wrong with his state today, and his face is full of worries.
The adjutant general couldn't help but suggest, "General, otherwise don't fight today?" "He was afraid that he would hit the general, and then he would be punished.
Xie Yutang glanced at him, "Look down on me?" If you are not in the state today, Ben will be able to abuse you the same, come, shoot. ”
A thunderous shout erupted in the crowd, and you didn't need to look to know that the two people inside must be in full swing.
In the end, Xie Yutang still knocked down the deputy general, and left a sentence by the way, "I still need to continue to practice hard, I am waiting for the day when you defeat me." With that, he got up and walked away without looking back.
"Wow, the general is so powerful, the general is mighty, I worship the general."
"Sycophant, though, I like the general so much."
Xie Yutang threw these voices far away and strode forward. The Ninth Prince followed up and explored, "What's going on today?" ”
Even those little soldiers saw that something was wrong with him, how could the Nine Princes not see that they had been with him day and night for so long?
"It's fine." Xie Yutang waved his hand casually, sped up and took a few steps forward, suddenly stopped, looked at the Nine Princes and said, "Lord Wang, what you said is right, do your own things by yourself, and raise your own army." ”
The Nine Princes looked inexplicable, and they didn't know what Xie Yutang was smoking, so he could only shrug his shoulders and walk in another direction.
When Xie Yutang returned home, Chi Wan was settling accounts in the courtyard, and when she saw him come back, she was a little surprised, "Why did you come back so early?" ”
You know, the last few months. They all came back later than anyone else. Xie Yutang came back at this time, which was really a little weird.
Xie Yutang didn't answer, but walked over and watched Chi Wan scribble on the paper, "What are you writing?" ”
Chi Wan puffed up her chest proudly, "Planner, I want to make a planner so that we can keep track of the money and food situation at any time." We will make up for what is lacking. ”
Xie Yutang looked at it for a long time, and then suddenly smiled, "Wanwan is becoming more and more like a competent logistics officer." ”
"I'm a good learner." Ji Wan raised her eyebrows triumphantly.
"But I don't want you to learn that." Xie Yutang's words changed.
Ji Wan looked at him puzzled, this is something that is good for the army, why don't you let her do it.
Xie Yutang held her hand, felt some calluses, and felt uncomfortable.
Chi Wan was originally a young lady from an official family, not to mention brocade clothes and food, and she didn't need to make money to support herself, but after following herself, she needed to do everything, and she thought every day about how to make more money to support his army.
"Yutang, what's wrong with you?" Finally sensing that Xie Yutang's mood was wrong, Chi Wan obediently followed him and asked softly.
Xie Yutang kept rubbing the thin cocoon on her hand, and Chi Wan was a little itchy, but she couldn't bear to say it, because Xie Yutang's face at this time seemed to be a little wrong.
"Wanwan, hard work." Pressing Chi Wan on the bed, Xie Yutang sat down beside her, and after a long while, she held back a sentence.
Chi Wan frowned puzzled, "What's so hard, I'm not hard." ”
Xie Yutang didn't believe it, and looked at her affectionately, "How can it not be hard, I remember that in the past, your hands were just grabbing paper and pens, but now, you have to grab mud, don't go to the field in the future." ”
When Chi Wan heard this, she couldn't help laughing, "You said this, in fact, I like it a lot, and it's not too hard, it's okay, Yutang, you think too much." ”
