Chapter 154: Promotion and Salary Increase and Return to Beijing
She had already changed the clothes of the dancing girl, and now she was wearing the clothes of the servants in the barracks, and some wide navy blue skirts were worn on her body, but they were much more pretty than ordinary people, and she was a coarse cloth and a hairpin that could hardly hide her outstanding appearance.
Fang Cannon rubbed his brows, and was stunned when he saw the slender figure outside, how could he meet such a person, but he couldn't drive her away, so he had to say coldly: "I said it, you also saved me, we don't owe anything to each other, you go." ”
Xiao Li'er didn't refute, answered, hesitated for a while, then picked up the plate of roasted sweet potatoes, left two and walked out.
Out of the tent of the cannon, Xiao Li'er's expression was no longer so pleading and cautious, but a little humble and not arrogant in the face of the eyes cast from everywhere, with a pretty smile on the corner of her mouth, and walked gently to the tent of several other soldiers who came back together.
This tent is about the same size as Fang's cannon, but there are six people lying down at once, as soon as Xiao Li'er came in, he greeted them warmly, and distributed the roasted sweet potatoes in his hand: "This is what Brother Fang asked me to send, he just came back and was very busy, and he will go to the main account to discuss matters after bathing later, and he can't come over." ”
"Tut-tut, that's amazing, you just came from his tent, hasn't he finished bathing yet?" When she said this, the soldiers couldn't guarantee that they wouldn't want to be crooked, and suddenly they all cast teasing glances, and Xiao Li'er just lowered her head and blushed, not saying yes or objecting, which made everyone even more confused, and automatically divided Xiao Li'er and Fang Cannon into a pair in their minds, not to mention that there was also a scene of heroes saving beauty.
"Don't think too much about it, Brother Fang and you are my lifesavers, who took me out of that hell on earth, Xiao Lian'er is grateful, and there will never be two hearts." Little Li'er added a sentence at the right time, her face was red behind her ears, and she put down her plate and ran out of the tent, leaving behind a burst of laughter in the tent.
Fang Cannon, who had just finished bathing, didn't know what was happening outside, so he changed his clothes, grabbed a sweet potato in his hand and ate it, and walked towards the main tent, he also had to report the situation of the operation as soon as possible, and correct the names of the brothers brought by Vice General Cao, so that their families could still receive a load of rice in the court every month, and their lives would not be too difficult.
The cannon didn't meet anyone along the way, but when the wind blew, I smelled a leisurely fragrance, and after a closer sniff, I found that the fragrance was not wafting from somewhere else, but the smell on my sleeve, although it was light, but it could still make people feel lingering. Fang Dacang paused, this dress was sent by Fang Cai Xiaolian'er, how can there be such an elegant habit in the army, I think she got it, and suddenly felt unhappy, wearing such clothes, people can smell how good, the dignified officer has his daughter's incense on his body, it is simply unseemly.
Fang Cannon didn't go any further, but turned around and went straight back to his tent, changed into a set of clean clothes with his hands and feet, and made sure that there was no strange smell, and then went to the big tent to deal with affairs.
After Xiao Li'er came to the barracks, because of her life experience, she was the only girl in the army, so she was specially arranged to live in a small tent alone. At this time, she sat in her room, counting the time, and went out just after Fang Dacang returned to the tent after the discussion.
She first went to the kitchen tent to pick out a few fresh ingredients for the chef to fry a side dish alone, and then borrowed cooking utensils to make a plate of cassava cake by herself, and went to Fang Dacang's tent with a hot meal, and before leaving, she also instructed the kitchen not to send dinner to Vice General Fang.
Entering the tent where Fang Cannon looked a little empty, Xiao Lian'er lowered her head without a trace and glanced at the situation in the tent, Fang Cannon sat next to him and wiped a pair of silver armor repeatedly, but he was wearing an old set of regular clothes, not the one he sent in the afternoon, and then looked around, there was no trace of that set of clothes at all.
Xiao Li'er turned her head sideways, obediently put the food in her hand on the table, and said: "Brother Fang, I saw a new batch of green vegetables in the kitchen today, thinking that it is rare in the Gobi, so I made you a stir-fried mutton with green vegetables, as well as steamed tapioca cake by yourself, try it." ”
I have to say that Xiao Lian'er is not the kind of person who is outspoken and fast-talking, what she thinks in her heart, and what she says, she can tell clearly, about that set of clothes, if Fang Dacang really cares about something, he will naturally speak first, and he can't be the one who is looking for trouble first.
The old man in the village who has knowledge and experience has said some very useful words, the slender and fragile vines must cling to the tall trees in order to live and thrive, and only light and gentle, without many words, will not make the big trees feel burdensome. If the tree clinging to the vine collapsed one day, it wouldn't hurt the vine too weak to be ignored, and she could have sought out a more powerful tree to perch on.
"This batch of vegetables is to subsidize the food of the soldiers below, my meals have always been the same as everyone else, you don't want to do this in the future." Fang Dacang didn't feel much joy because of the beauty cooking herself, but looked at these dishes a little difficult to eat, don't forget that he grew up in Yipinxiang, no matter how delicious things are, no matter how rare the meals are, he has also seen such a big way to firmly grasp his stomach, that is, the people who are a pint of incense, as for these two dishes, he still can't look at them, and he doesn't want to affect the relationship with other soldiers.
Xiao Li'er was invisibly counted down by Fang Cannon, her mouth was curled and she held back her tears, and she turned around to leave after a stunned response, but before she got out of the tent, the cannon behind her stopped her again: "In the future, I don't need you to prepare my clothes, spend less time on this, and rest more." ”
Fang Dacang's words were said with anger, and after he came back, he quietly called the military doctor to inquire, the aroma was very quiet, but the raw material was an uncommon flower and leaf, and after drying and crushing, a few flavors of medicine were added, as if it had become a secret medicine in the room with a fascination effect, which had always been only used secretly in the Chu Pavilion of the Qinglou or some large households, and it could not be brought on the table.
Fang Cannon figured it out almost immediately, Xiao Lian'er escaped from the barbarian camp, and she was doing something like a dancing girl, and it made sense that she had some of this medicine on her body. The medicine used on his clothes was mainly applied to the cuffs, and the amount was not much, although it would not make him lose his temperament and lose his mind, if he really wore it for an afternoon, I am afraid that it would also have an effect.
And at this time, Xiao Li'er made the dishes and sent them in alone, and Ann's heart was revealed...
Fang Dacang didn't want to think about it anymore, only shook his head, didn't move his chopsticks, and lay down on the bed and felt out the neat and neat pale pink handkerchief under the pillow, spread it out and spread it on his face, and contentedly left all the mess outside behind, at this moment there was only the little man in Shacheng who was looking forward to his return to reunite.
Three days later, it was a sunny day with a beautiful wind and sun, and the capital sent a decree in an urgent manner, so that Fang Cannon, the hero who killed the barbarian leader this time, returned to Beijing with a part of the army, and firstly to accept the reward, named him the general who protected the country, gave the general's mansion a hundred taels of gold, and secondly, he came to defend the Beijing division and stabilize the entire battle situation, and he was about to set off immediately.
"General Fang is really young and promising, he has jumped from a deputy general to a titled chief general at a young age, and his future is limitless!" After receiving the order, the big and small officials in the army came to congratulate, Fang Cannon knew that they were all cheerful people, and he was also watched by them all the way to grow up, although he was lucky to make meritorious contributions this time, but they were also really happy, but he himself was always not happy.
The military camp is only a day's walk away from Shacheng, and he originally wanted to go over as soon as possible to report his safety to Ruan Mianmian in person, but the emperor's edict asked him to return to Beijing, and he could only miss it, and the next time we met, I really don't know when it will be.
Fang Cannon returned to the tent, packed up his few salutes, and changed into the general's robes and cloaks they sent, knowing in his heart that it was time to leave, anyway, Ruan Mianmian and the princess would return to the capital after they escorted the princess, and then they would go to the emperor and the queen to kiss each other, and the days of waiting would not be too long.
Thinking like this, my heart felt better, and when I turned my head, I saw Xiao Lian'er, who hadn't appeared for a few days, kneeling at the door of the tent, and I don't know when someone was already watching from a short distance, Fang Dacang was shocked and asked her to hurry up, but she didn't move.
"Brother Fang, Xiao Li'er knows that you are going back to the capital, and she shouldn't have bothered you again, but Xiao Li'er was rescued by Brother Fang, and she is only familiar with Brother Fang in this military camp, if you leave, won't I be even more lonely here, so I dare to ask Brother Fang to take Xiao Li'er back to Beijing for the sake of our past friendship, and Li'er is grateful."
Fang Cannon listened to the clouds in the fog, what does it mean to be familiar with himself, how can he have the friendship of the past? But after all, there were people watching outside, and he couldn't question a weak woman in public, so he could only ask her to get up with a gloomy expression, and discuss other things.
"General Fang, what Miss Li'er said is also reasonable, raising her a weak woman in the military camp is not a long-term solution, besides, we are fighting in the east and west, and we are also tied up with a girl, so it is better for you to take her back to the capital, so that she can have a place to stay." Some of the spectators didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, and they began to fan the flames.
"That's... Okay, but after you go to the capital, I'll buy you a place to live, and then find you a job to earn a living, and as for the rest, don't think about it. After Fang Dacang finished speaking, he pulled down the curtain at the door of his tent, completely blocking all kinds of eyes outside.
The curtain made of felt hung down heavily, and the corners brushed Xiao Li'er's cheeks, making her feel a little frizzy and tingling, but fortunately, Fang Cannon did not refuse, and she was able to follow him to the capital, as for what happened after going to the capital, she was very confident in her appearance, men are not firm in their minds, especially in their feelings, if they are not moved now, it does not mean that they will not be moved in the future, just wait and see.
