Then came with several family members, including Mrs. Xu, and the red tassel cuiqiao who stayed behind, all of whom followed.
Until the next advance, the ladies would stay here to take care of their husbands for a while, because some of them were wounded, so they were all reunited.
Because Mrs. Xu gave the moisturizer last time, although Qi Mi was useless, she still received her love, and later she had occasional contact.
This returned to Kuha, and there were even fewer female dependents, Qi Yiyi because of the generals' support and support for Yantang, so he also asked Zizhan to make more than a dozen dishes from local materials, and made a simple but thick banquet, inviting the female dependents to the handsome tent to go to the "reception banquet", which can be regarded as a side representative of Yantang to reward the generals.
"There's nothing delicious here, it's just meat, but Huang Jun took me to pick the two wild vegetables here, and the ladies tried them."
There is meat to eat fresh in the north, and it is very rare to have a few green vegetables to eat, and Qi Mi sincerely invited the ladies.
He also said: "I have always been casual, and I am no better than Jingshi here, and I hope that the ladies are also more casual." β
There were six female dependents attending the banquet, all of whom were wives of high-ranking generals, some of whom Qi Mi knew, and some of whom became acquainted with each other later, but she was so bold that everyone quickly eliminated their restraints and began to talk freely.
Mrs. Xu took two sips and said, "I have long learned the craftsmanship of the sixth master in the paddock, and this time I have tasted it and improved it again." β
Qi Yiyi smiled: "He has liked to participate in these studies since he was a child, so you can get used to eating them." β
As he spoke, he raised his hand and asked Cui Qiao to serve the mutton soup.
Yan Tang was afraid that she would not be used to eating food in the army, and there were many cattle and sheep on the grassland, so she asked people to get a few cows and sheep every day to cook in the room, or go to the nearby mountains to hunt something, and also add food to the generals by the way.
Although I am tired of eating meat, the lamb bone soup cooked with some other ingredients is still delicious.
General Zhou's wife said: "The princess likes to eat mutton, and the concubine has heard that the Tatars have a way to cook mutton, which tastes very good, but it can't be eaten in ordinary places, and there is no restaurant to go here, so they have to take the pot and stove themselves to make it." β
"That's not easy," said General Cao's wife, laughed, "and when the next battle is over, I'll go find a few Tatars to try it, or learn the way from them." β
Everyone took the opportunity to talk about the war again.
Mrs. Xu doesn't say much, but she is not silent, she can pick up many topics, the key is that it will not make people feel abrupt.
After getting along day and night for a period of time, the ladies became familiar with her.
Qi Yiyi listened to their words, and echoed a few words from time to time, until Hongying came to say that Huang Jun was coming, she nodded and got up, and asked Xing Xiaowei to help accompany the guests first.
Huang Jun stood on the grass outside the courtyard, a robe tied with a sweat towel, the corners of the robe were tucked into the sweat towel, revealing the trousers and cloth boots underneath, a little white face had long been tanned to the bottom of the pot, and now he was completely different from the weak interpreter of Beijing Chinese in the past.
"I'll ask you something, and I guess you'll find it useful." After seeing Qi Yiyi, he immediately stepped forward.
"Twenty-one years ago, Su He lost a favorite concubine, you already know about it, but you may not know that in the early years, when He Chu was not on the throne, there were also people looking for this person in the northwest area."
Since she decided to investigate the Ura royal family as an initial approach, Huang Jun has become an important helper due to her mastery of Northland folklore and Tatar language.
Qi Yi said: "He Chu is really looking for that Han Ji too?" β
"That's right." Huang Jun nodded affirmatively, "At that time, I inquired with the local old man in Qizi Town and left a shadow.
"I've been walking around the grassland these days, and I've heard someone say that since it's the only way to go from Uting to the northwest, someone should have come to look for it three times.
"The last time was five or six years ago."
Qi Yiyi felt that this news made people's brains very difficult to turn around.
Su He's search for that Han Ji is good to say, after all, he has been his concubine, and it can be regarded as some affection.
But He Chu has to call this Han Ji his concubine, and he also came to her? Looked for it three more times?!
Of course, the grassland people don't seem to pay attention to these things, and it is not uncommon for widows and sisters-in-law to marry their brother-in-law, and stepsons to take stepmothers as concubines, even if they really look at it, there is really nothing to say.
But does this mean that He Chu is at least concerned about this Han Ji? So does it mean that it is possible that He Chu and the emperor have the same woman in their hearts?!
"I don't dare to write like this in the playbook......"
She pinched her chin and muttered.
Then he asked, "What else?" β
"Nothing else. And I can't ask any clues about this. Huang Jun said as he took out a piece of paper from his arms and gave it to him, "No one has ever seen this thing." β
Qi Yiyi looked at it, nodded, and tucked it into his sleeve. Then he said: "I'll go out with you when I have time to go back, you go and get busy with yours first." β
Seeing that he was gone, she returned to the table.
"Is there enough food to eat? It's not enough to let Zi Zhan come to two more. β
The banquet was still eating and talking, and after Qi Yiyi sat down, he took out a handkerchief to wipe his lips, but he might as well have a piece of paper in his sleeve and brought it to the ground.
A piece of paper painted with half a wolf's body could have landed at Mrs. Xu's feet.
Mrs. Xu stared at the wolf for a while, then bent down to pick it up and handed it back to Qi Yiyi.
"This is a painting of the princess?" Mrs. Zeng, who was sitting side by side, looked at her curiously.
Qi Yiyi glanced at Mrs. Xu, and took it with a smile: "I had nothing to do in the room with Miss Xing before, painting for recreation, she preferred me to draw a wolf, and I haven't seen a live wolf very much, where can I paint?"
"I remember seeing such a picture the day before yesterday, so I reluctantly drew a predecessor, but I couldn't paint it, which really made my wife laugh."
As he spoke, he calmly folded the paper and tucked it back into his sleeve.
Xing Xiaowei listened to her and looked at her a few times. She asked her to draw wolves?!
β¦β¦
A meal is eaten until the sun is slightly off.
Mrs. Xu walked out of the courtyard and returned to her barracks without the slightest messy step.
When she entered the door, she calmly took the handkerchief on the shelf and wiped her hands.
It wasn't until she wiped her palms dry that she sat down and stared intently at her own vague shadow falling on the opposite wall.
Suddenly, she got up and walked over to the bookcase, dipped her pen in ink, brushed the paper for a while, and a wolf head with fangs suddenly appeared.
She stared at the wolf's head quietly, and when she raised her eyes, there was a little confusion in her eyes, as if she suddenly couldn't see through a painting, and as if she suddenly couldn't read a book, and then she lowered her eyes and looked at it, and then with a wry smile, she twisted the painting into a ball, and then spread it out and tore it to pieces.
