The welcoming party ended late and the original plan for the afternoon was cancelled.
Song Jinshu took Huo Fang and others to the mahjong hall that the Liu family was planning to open later.
Four people sat at the mahjong table, three of them were eager to make a move, and one had confusion in his eyes.
This strange table was filled with square tiles that didn't look like playing cards, and the distance between people was awkward.
Wouldn't it be awkward for several grown men to sit in such a small space and look each other in the eye?
It turned out that the three of them were not embarrassed at all. After playing a few rounds and gradually figuring out the rules of mahjong, Huo Fang started to get addicted.
This little thing actually requires more brainpower than leading troops in battle.
The only thing that made him feel relieved was that no matter how much he lost, Lu Ruoyu would always be at the bottom.
Mr. Lu, who used to be talented, elegant, and handsome, and who charmed the noble ladies in Kyoto, was actually beaten so badly at the mahjong table.
He suddenly felt a little distressed...
Huo Fang was distracted for a short while, and the Song family lost the game. He sighed silently.
"Hey! Thank you for letting me win! Happy New Year! Give me some money!"
Seeing Lu Ruoyu taking out the silver with such skillful and even heartbreaking movements, Huo Fang's teeth seemed to ache even more.
He sighed again and honestly handed the silver to Song Jinshu.
She wins the most here and hardly ever loses.
"Where does Lord Song like to burn incense and worship Buddha on weekdays? I will go there to worship every other day too." Huo Fang said sourly.
"No! My fate is determined by my own hands, not by God. I am not talented and I don't believe in Buddhism."
She only believes in the God of Wealth!!!
Huo Fang looked at her in surprise, with mixed feelings. She was the only one in the world who was so simple-minded, able to say so carelessly that she was not afraid of gods or Buddhas.
Even though he didn't believe it...
"My destiny is in my own hands, you are quite insightful, but I admire you very much!" Huo Fang praised sincerely.
He had been reading military books since he was old enough to understand, and as soon as he was old enough to hold a weapon, he began to watch battles on the battlefield. At the age of twelve, he went into battle and killed the enemy, chopping off the head of an enemy general.
People believe in Buddhism in the hope of cleansing themselves of their sins, and he was stained with blood in order to defend his country.
He doesn't consider himself a good person, but he's not a demon responsible for countless lives.
Because he is the patron saint of the Jinghe Dynasty!
Aren't the things he did in this life just as Song Jinshu said, "My destiny is in my own hands"?
Song Jinshu was so excited by Huo Fang's praise that he turned up his nose.
Lu Ruoyu kept a gentle smile on her face, looking at the two people who were "birds of a feather flock together", as if they had found their lifelong confidants, and she couldn't take the smile off her face.
It was not until dark and the moon was shining brightly that Song Jinshu and the others said goodbye reluctantly.
Before leaving, Huo Fang stopped Song Jinshu and said a few more words: "Although the fighting at the border has subsided, my long absence from the barracks may have shaken the morale of the troops. We will depart Jingyang County tomorrow."
"So sudden?" Song Jinshu was stunned for a moment before reacting.
"You've only been here for two days, why are you going back again? I haven't even taken you to the hot spring town for vacation yet!"
"There's a hot spring villa in Wenquan Town with natural hot spring water. Brother Huo, you're injured, so taking a dip there might be good for your health."
Huo Fang waved his hand, his attitude firm: "No need. Tomorrow, you should have someone secretly deliver 2,000 tons of sweet potatoes to the woods two kilometers outside the city before dark."
"Oh! Okay! I understand!" Song Jinshu knew that he had made up his mind and did not try to persuade him any further.
Huo Fang was right. The border could not do without him. Jing Border was too far away from Jingyang County. If he didn't rush back early, he would be in trouble.
Watching Huo Fang walking further and further away in the moonlight, Song Jinshu felt uncontrollably heavy-hearted.
She has always known the horror of war and that many people will die.
Right now she could only do what she could to ensure they had enough food and clothing so they could attack the other side in a better manner.
After returning home, Song Jinshu simply washed up and then climbed into bed to go to sleep.
She had something on her mind and thought she wouldn't be able to sleep, but she fell asleep soon after closing her eyes.
This damn biological clock, she finally lives a regular life.
The next day, Song Jinshu called Wang Er and whispered to him about the task.
Now in this county government office, although everyone appears to be loyal to her, Song Jinshu does not dare to trust anyone easily.
The reason why she chose Wang Er was that, first, she was careful, second, she was not talkative, and third, she was loyal to her.
"...Did you hear everything I said? Don't let anyone see you when you leave."
Wang Er simulated sewing and wiped his lips: "I understand!"
"Go get busy! After you're done, I'll give you two days off to go home and spend time with your wife."
Wang Er's new wife is four months pregnant, and it is a time when she is in need of someone.
After hearing Song Jinshu's promise, Wang Er felt full of strength.
Because of the misunderstanding two days ago, the people thought that the people coming were bandits. Although nothing happened, they were still frightened.
There were not many people walking on the street today, which made it convenient for Wang Er and others to act.
By the end of the afternoon, the sweet potatoes requested by Huo Fang were delivered to the designated location.
She also came out of the city, carrying some local specialties to give to Huo Fang and others.
Lu Ruoyu followed closely behind her.
Seeing that Song Jinshu ignored him these past two days, Lu Ruoyu felt helpless.
He thought that after coming to Jingyang County, he would never meet his old acquaintances again.
But unfortunately, she is a capable person, and Kyoto comes one after another.
In the past, he had confessed to her that his family background was all true, but he had omitted many of his past private affairs.
Just as I was thinking about how to explain to her, I saw a group of people riding horses quickly towards me.
This scene was just like the one I first saw two days ago. Huo Fang came with his men.
"General Huo, these are local specialties from my county. They are all food. I wish you a safe journey!"
Huo Fang got off the horse, laughed, and slapped Song Jinshu's shoulder with his big hand, causing her to grit her teeth in pain.
How could his hand be so strong? I wonder if my shoulder was bruised.
"Thank you, little sister! If anyone dares to bully you in the future, send me a letter and I'll help you out!"
Huo Fang took the bag handed to him by Song Jinshu and asked someone to load the food onto the cart.
Lu Ruoyu also took this opportunity to say goodbye to him: "Mr. Huo, I hope you will return triumphantly soon!"
Huo Fang smiled faintly and said, "Thank you, Master Lu. My little sister is still young, and may not be able to do many things well enough. Please take on more responsibilities. If you have any questions, write to this general."
Lu Ruoyu chuckled. It seemed that Huo Fang really treated Song Jinshu as his sister.
This is good, she has one more person to protect her, and others won't dare to insult her.
"Of course."
Qinmin had already packed the food, and Huo Fang waved his hand and set off without any delay.
This impetuous temperament is consistent with his personality. After all, he is really capable.
