Chapter 559 I’m Afraid That My Love Rival Is Too Strong
"General Zhou, I'm not taking the herbs you gave me for nothing. I'll have someone send you some of the pills I recently developed."
"Some of the healing medicines are very effective."
As soon as Zhou Wuwei heard this, he understood that Ye Jintang knew that he had been seriously injured during the attack on Beidi.
Xiao Mo, who was standing aside, was so jealous when he saw Zhou Wuwei presenting his treasure.
"General Zhou has made great contributions in attacking the northern enemy. I wonder what reward General Zhou wants. As long as I can do it, I will definitely not be stingy."
Zhou Wuwei looked indifferently at Xiao Mo, who had a fake smile on his face.
What he wanted most, he could never give.
He clearly knew it, but still asked him in such a false way, which was deliberately trying to disgust him.
"I am devoted to the army and don't want anything. If the emperor really wants to reward me with something, why not change all the rewards into silver and distribute it to the soldiers who survived the battle."
Zhou Wuwei did not return to Beijing alone this time. His large group of troops remained at the border, and he only brought some Black Armor Army and a large number of injured soldiers.
There are many soldiers who were seriously injured on the battlefield and lost limbs and were unable to fight. They could not receive pensions, and after retiring from the army, they could only barely make a living by doing small jobs that did not make money.
If they could get a small bonus when they leave, at least they could live a stable life after returning home and would not starve to death after leaving the army.
"General Zhou, rest assured. I have already made arrangements for those injured soldiers. I will not let them get hurt for nothing."
Xiao Mo glanced at everyone present and said slowly, "As early as when we attacked Xirong, the queen formulated a series of resettlement policies for disabled soldiers."
"There are currently more than 4 disabled soldiers employed in various workshops, and more disabled soldiers will be resettled in the future. The Queen and I will not let the blood of the soldiers of Tianqin be shed in vain."
"Your Majesty, the Queen is wise."
Zhou Wuwei was very excited when he heard Xiao Mo say this. He didn't expect that Xiao Mo and Ye Jintang had already considered the issue of disabled soldiers so early.
The court officials also stood up and said some flattering words, especially Ye Jintang's loyal supporters, who almost praised Ye Jintang as a god.
After everyone chatted and laughed for a while, Xiao Mo looked at Zhou Wuwei in a good mood and said casually, "General Zhou has devoted himself to the army and it seems that he has never started a family."
"As far as I know, you only have two maids serving you. Why don't you let the queen choose a wife with a good family background for you? I will grant you the marriage."
"As the old saying goes, a good man should establish his career early. Now that you have achieved success, it would be good for you to have a family."
Zhou Wuwei sneered in his heart. Those two maids were forced upon him by Xiao Mo. He wanted to refuse at that time, but Xiao Mo told him that if he didn't want them, he would reward him with two beauties.
In the end he had no choice but to keep these two maids by his side.
He knew exactly what Xiao Mo meant. If he resisted too much, Xiao Mo, a jealous and petty man, would probably kill him secretly.
He still wanted to stay by Ye Jintang's side to protect her, so how could he bear to die?
Since I can never get Ye Jintang in this life, what does it matter who sleeps next to him?
Ever since he took in two maids, Zhou Wuwei completely let himself go. He often went to brothels with his friends in the army to flirt with beauties. He even had two foreign mistresses on the border.
That's why Xiao Mo didn't keep pestering him.
"If the Queen can choose a wife for me, I will be very grateful."
As smart as Zhou Wuwei was, he immediately realized that Xiao Mo was testing him. If he didn't do what he was satisfied with, he would probably die suddenly in a short time.
Ye Jintang didn't think much about it. She just thought that Xiao Mo really wanted to arrange a marriage for Zhou Wuwei.
But she was not an ignorant white flower, and she probably had some guesses about the art of controlling subordinates involved.
Zhou Wuwei holds military power. If he marries the daughter of another general, the military power of Qin will probably fall into his hands in the future.
Just in case, Xiao Mo definitely hopes that Zhou Wuwei can marry the daughter of a minor civil servant as his wife.
In this way, he could safely hand over the military power on the border to him.
"I have agreed to this matter. I will help you to carefully select the ladies of the noble families and guarantee that you will marry a beautiful lady. If you find one that suits your heart, tell me and I will help you to propose marriage."
"Thank you, Queen."
The welcoming banquet was full of joy, and everyone had happy smiles on their faces, but Ye Jintang could clearly feel that Xiao Mo didn't drink much wine, but he drank a lot of vinegar.
Her hand was always held in his palm, sometimes lightly, sometimes heavily, it was so childish and ridiculous.
The sound of stringed instruments started again, and Ye Jintang pulled his hand out of Xiao Mo's hand.
She lowered her voice and whispered in Xiao Mo's ear, "Your Majesty is too petty. Wuwei just gave me two boxes of medicinal herbs. It's not a big deal. Why are you so jealous?"
"I am just narrow-minded. I even hope that you will only accept gifts from me in this life. Not to mention gifts from men, even if they are from women."
Xiao Mo's shameless behavior made Ye Jintang laugh and cry.
A man who is usually so high and mighty is so jealous and petty that it is simply unbearable to watch.
"Then Your Majesty, please prepare a few more jars of aged vinegar in the future, otherwise I'm afraid you won't have enough to drink."
"When my three little ones grow up, they will definitely respect me."
"You can't be jealous of your son or daughter."
Ye Jintang's eyes were rolling to the sky. Xiao Mo could be really extreme sometimes.
"Then I don't care. I just want you to accept the gift from me alone."
Xiao Mo gently squeezed Ye Jintang's palm and whispered in her ear in a low voice, "I am very hurt that you took so many medicinal herbs from Zhou Wuwei. Wife, are you going to comfort my broken heart?"
"Okay, after the banquet is over, I will comfort you."
As for what method to use to appease, that is up to Ye Jintang.
The welcoming banquet was very lively, with fine wine, singing and dancing, and everyone enjoyed the meal very much.
Someone mentioned that Ye Jintang had invented the greenhouse. They heard that the palace used a large greenhouse to grow flowers, so some court officials wanted to go and see it.
They couldn't imagine what it would be like with the north wind howling outside and the spring flowers blooming inside.
Seeing that the court officials wanted to see the greenhouse so much, Xiao Mo reluctantly agreed.
He had been busy with the post-disaster reconstruction of Tanqu Prefecture since returning to the capital, and had no time to visit the greenhouse.
"Madam Zhang, please light up all the lights in the greenhouse. The adults are coming to take a look, so we can't be negligent."
"Yes, old slave, go right away."
