Chapter 47 Chinese New Year
Youzhou Military Camp
Ye Qing braved the heavy snow and hurried on, finally arriving at the Youzhou military camp on the eve of the Chinese New Year. His body was covered in snowflakes and he was shivering with cold, but his eyes revealed determination.
Shangguan Yunting was surprised when he saw him, "Ye Qing, why are you back? Didn't I order you to protect Xiaorou?"
Ye Qing knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "Master, Miss Shen and the others have safely returned to her grandmother's home. It wouldn't be appropriate for me to be there for their family reunion. Beizhou is not far from Youzhou, so I will return to the barracks to celebrate the New Year with everyone. I will go and pick them up and take them back to Yunzhou on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year."
"Xiao Rou, do you have anything to say to this king?"
"Miss Shen said, I wish you a happy new year."
Shangguan Yunting's mouth curled up slightly, "Is that all I have to say?"
"Subordinates, I dare not hide it."
"We're tired after traveling for several days. Let's go back to the tent and rest!"
"Yes."
Shangguan Yunting returned to the tent, and Han Lin reported: "Master, the enemy has been frequently harassing our people on the border recently, and they have also stolen food from their homes, even freshly made steamed buns."
Several generals sitting nearby said indignantly, "This Chu Huaixiong is so damn bad that he can't even let us have a peaceful New Year."
"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the troops to attack Northern Yan."
"General Deng, please be patient and wait until this matter is thoroughly investigated before making any decisions. If our Great Qi attacks Northern Yan, the two countries will be at war again, and countless families will be torn apart and destroyed."
"It's possible that it wasn't General Chu's order. Beiyan had several heavy snowfalls, and the snow was already half a man high. Food couldn't be transported, which led to the soldiers in the barracks doing this."
"Han Lin, send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly and report back immediately."
"I obey my orders."
"I have written a letter and sent it to General Chu at the Northern Yan camp, hoping he will give me an explanation. If he is the one giving the order, I will personally lead the army to attack Northern Yan."
"I will obey my orders."
"General Qu, I order you and Xu Yang to each lead a team of elite soldiers to patrol our territory. If you spot any enemy troops, report immediately."
"I will obey your command.
General Qu and Xu Yang each led a team of elite soldiers out of the military camp and headed straight for patrol on the Youzhou border.
The soldiers of Northern Yan led another group of people towards the border of Youzhou.
"Captain Wang, if we lead our soldiers to rob the people of Da Qi of their food, and if this causes conflict between the two countries, we will be criminals in both countries."
"Huzi, do you think I want to take my soldiers to rob food? His Majesty ordered people to deliver food, but it's not coming. Without food, our soldiers in the camp will starve to death."
"Isn't General Chu thinking of a solution?"
"General Chu, if you have a way, how could you bear to kill the warhorse? The warhorse is our companion and we should not kill it unless it is absolutely necessary."
"General Chu must have no other choice but to bear the pain of killing the war horses to solve the problem of food and clothing for his soldiers."
"So I can't just watch our companions suffer. Let's go grab some food and bring it back, or at least kill fewer horses."
"What if we are caught by King Mu's men?"
"I will take all the responsibility. Anyone who is afraid can choose not to go."
"We are not cowards, let's go..."
Xu Yang led a group of men towards the Youzhou border. A spy reported, "Guard Xu, enemy troops have been spotted ahead."
"Send someone to report to King Mu immediately, and the rest of you, follow me to stop the enemy."
The further north Xu Yang and his men went, the thicker the snow became. In some places, it was already half a person's height. Although they had difficulty walking, no one retreated.
The soldiers of Beiyan saw Xu Yang and his men from a distance and shouted: "Retreat quickly..."
They all turned back, and Xu Yang and his men tried hard to catch up, but the snow was too thick and they moved slowly. They could only watch the enemy run away, but they were powerless to do anything.
By the time Shangguan Yunting and his men arrived, the Northern Yan soldiers had already fled. Xu Yang said cautiously, "Master, it was my incompetence that I watched the enemy flee while I did nothing."
"The snow is so deep that it's hard to walk, let alone chase the enemy."
"Go back first!"
"Yes."
After everyone returned to the camp, Shangguan Yunting immediately summoned the generals to discuss countermeasures.
He analyzed, "The Northern Yan army's seizure of food this time must be due to a problem with their food supply. We need to intensify our defense."
"The letter I wrote probably hasn't reached General Chu yet. Let's wait for his reply."
"I will obey my orders."
On New Year's Eve, Shangguan Yunting and the soldiers sat together to eat New Year's Eve dinner and dumplings. Although they did not drink to relax like in previous years, everyone's face was filled with happy smiles.
Back in the tent, Shangguan Yunting sat there, holding the sword tassel given to him by Shen Rou in his hand, thinking of her.
Thinking of every moment of my acquaintance and friendship with Shen Rou, my heart is filled with warmth and longing.
I quickly wrote down my thoughts in a letter and put it under my pillow, where there were already several letters.
Touching the sword stalk, he whispered, "Xiao Rou, do you miss me now that you are with your family? I don't know when I can see you again after the New Year."
"A day without seeing you feels like three years. We have been apart for ten days. How many years have passed?"
Shen Rou, whom Shangguan Yunting missed, was making dumplings with her family when suddenly she sneezed one after another.
Grandma said quickly, "Xiao Rou, are you sick? Go lie down on the kang. You can't take medicine today, New Year's Eve. I'll get you some hot water to drink so you can sweat it out."
"Grandma, I'm not sick. Maybe someone scolded me."
"Sister, does Uncle Jiu miss you?"
"This girl dares to tease your elder sister, are you itching for trouble?"
"Grandma, look, my elder sister is blushing."
"I'm hot, isn't it?"
"Sister, your excuse is so far-fetched. How can it be hot in such a cold weather? Who are you kidding?"
Shen Rou still had flour on her hands, and she suddenly wiped it on Shen Xue's face, saying with a smile: "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll make you look like a clown."
"Big sister, you are guilty as a thief. Uncle Jiu must be missing you."
The two aunts asked curiously, "Xiaoxue, who is Uncle Nine?"
"My aunt is a handsome young man. He is very kind and treats our whole family well, especially my eldest sister. He is very kind to me."
"Is he reliable? Don't look at Xiaorou opening a breakfast shop and try to cheat her out of her money."
"My dear wife, Young Master Yun is a wealthy man himself. He and Xiaorou opened a porcelain kiln together, and he is surrounded by several guards. He is obviously the son of a wealthy family."
"Mom, such a person is even more unreliable. Xiaorou, you should avoid contact with such a young master. After all, he requires a wife of equal status. A family like ours cannot become his legal wife."
"Xiao Rou, I'm not trying to discourage you, but I'd rather be a poor man's wife than a rich man's concubine."
"Aunt, thank you for your concern. I'm only fourteen years old now, and I don't plan to consider marriage for the time being. Even if I get married, I won't be anyone's concubine. This is my bottom line."
"And he and I are just friends and partners, that's all."
"It's good that you know that you must find a family of equal status to marry into. Otherwise, you will only be bullied by your mother-in-law."
"That's what my aunt said."
Soon a pot of steaming dumplings came out of the pot, and the family held the dumplings with happy faces.
Grandpa praised repeatedly: "Well, these meat dumplings are delicious. I haven't eaten such delicious dumplings in years."
"It's all thanks to Xiaorou, otherwise our family would still be the same as before."
"Yes! Xiaorou is the lucky star of our family and the most capable and courageous child in our Shen family."
"Grandpa, please stop praising me. My two cousins are also very good."
My aunt said quickly, "Xiao Rou, your cousin doesn't know anything except brute force. Our Shen family will have to rely on you to support us in the future."
"Aunt, I have the ability to bring our whole family wealth."
My aunt was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling and kept praising Shen Rou for being a good child.
The family sat together eating dumplings, chatting and enjoying this warm moment.
The aroma of dumplings filled the entire room, making people feel extremely happy.
At night, several young people stayed up to celebrate the New Year, eating melon seeds and chatting. Time passed by minute by minute, and finally it was midnight.
Shen Xue was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes. She quickly went back to her room to sleep, and soon she could hear the sound of even breathing.
However, Shen Rou took out the jade hairpin given by Shangguan Yunting from the bedside table in the space. She never got tired of looking at it and even had a silly smile on her face.
