general lady

"Zheng Yanfeng's concubine brothers rely on him to live freely in the camp. If they are not completely sure, they will not dare to offend Zheng Yanfeng." Song Tusu seemed to know what Su Wan was thinking, with a little smile in his voice, "What do you think the purpose of those slaves sent by the Zheng family every year as private soldiers is not just for military merit, the most important thing is to protect Zheng Yanfeng."

Turning over uncomfortably, with her back to Song Tusu, Su Wan murmured: "I thought about this possibility."

"His injury this time is actually the result of the alliance of those veterans. Zheng Yanfeng told me that the purpose of those veterans may not be the military power of the camp, but the quota for entering Beijing years ago."

"Is the quota designated by Kyoto this time?" Su Wan asked.

"I don't know yet, go to sleep."

"kindness."

The number of places to enter Beijing is almost fixed every year. Various forces in the capital compete for it. Basically, those who enter Beijing are those, and there will be no great changes every year.Song Tusu would take the initiative to stay in the camp every year, and Su Wan asked Wang Zeng about her family affairs.

It’s just that most of the people in Daying followed Song Tusu later and didn’t know anything about her family, but Wang Zeng was a confidant after all, and told Su Wan, “The general seems to have never contacted her family.”

Zheng Yanfeng pretended that he hadn't woken up yet, maybe there were other schemes, but at least Su Wan helped him, as long as this person is still normal, he owes Su Wan and Song Tusu behind Su Wan Favors, favors that may be useful in the future.

For now, this is enough, Su Wan thought.

When she woke up in the morning, she didn't see Song Tusu as usual, but this time Su Wan didn't feel very sad, because she had finished what she wanted to say and asked all the things she wanted to ask.

The grass on the side of the road is completely withered and yellow, and there is no trace of green. At this time of year, although the private barracks has enough food to eat, they can't eat wild vegetables.

When she came to the kitchen again to apply plaster, Su Wan suddenly thought of a way, so she went to the stove to observe.

Still holding the fire stick in his hand, Han Shi said with a smile: "In the past, a few stones were used to support the cauldron. This stove was built later and has been modified several times. Now it is very good to use. After winter, It’s much warmer by leaning against the stove.”

"Indeed." The earth and rocks inside the stove were burnt hard, and the soil outside became firm after being squeezed for a long time. Su Wan stretched out her hand and patted it, and said, "Build one next to the stove... like this, long Square ones, dig a hole in the middle for an iron box."

"Okay." Han Shi immediately agreed.

After the description, Su Wan said to Wang Zeng outside: "Promise that there is extra iron that can be used? Copper is also fine."

"If this is the case...it should be no problem." Wang Zeng thought for a while before saying.

You don't need to think for sure to know that what Wang Zeng said is correct, it must not be because of Su Wan, but Song Tusu.It's just that now that the two of them have been completely tied together, it's okay for Su Wan to do something with General Song's tiger skin.

The idea is that it is similar to an ordinary stove, but there is a square iron pot inside, with a flat bottom and a little bigger.

There are enough stones and loess in the private barracks, and it takes only one day to build the stove, but it takes a few days to make the iron pot.Su Wan simply went to find a wooden bucket, and when the pot was not used at night, she boiled some warm water, put the wooden bucket in it, put soaked beans in it, and covered it with some soft grass to keep it warm.

When using the pot during the day, put the wooden barrel in a large basin filled with warm water, and change the warm water after a period of time to maintain the temperature.

Although it is troublesome, the entire private barracks is now idle. Apart from the people in the kitchen, there are also many private soldiers who occasionally wander around to watch the fun.Su Wan didn't hide it from anyone, and came to see the changes of Douzi every day.

Sprout, remove before rooting, wash with water, scald in hot water and eat directly, which is equivalent to wild vegetables.

There is no beany smell at all, and the taste is very crispy and crispy, especially when it is fried with pepper, it goes well with rice on days when there are no wild vegetables to eat.The first time Su Wan made less, everyone in the private army camp could only taste one bite, but it was enough for everyone to like this.

"Can you still eat beans like this?" Song Tusu was a little surprised, "It's really good. Have you ever thought about making it and selling it for money? I'll help you talk to the management of Daying, and it will definitely sell for a lot of money."

"Not for sale, but you can use the finished bean sprouts to exchange some beans with them." Su Wan thought for a while and said, "I don't want to earn any money from the camp in the border town."

"Okay." Song Tusu reached out and took Su Wan's bowl of porridge, drank it himself, put the bowl down, and said with a smile, "I have some polished rice over there, you can take it back and make porridge yourself. It's been so long, Why are you still so skinny..."

Looking at the empty bowl, Su Wan protested, "It's because I grew taller!"

"Yo, stand up and let me have a look." Song Tusu's eyes were full of smiles, obviously not believing what Su Wan said.

In fact, she didn't grow much taller, but Su Wan felt that she should grow taller. She is still young and has not developed yet, so it should be normal to be so thin.

"I'll send some animal skins later. It's getting colder at night, so be careful not to freeze." Song Tusu stood up and walked out. She came here specially to taste the bean sprouts made by Su Wan.

No matter how many layers of animal skins are covered at night, it seems that it can be frozen through in an instant.Su Wan had to sleep with Ah Chou in her arms every night, and she could feel more warmth when Song Tusu came, otherwise she might not be able to sleep well even if Ah Chou was here.

But the quilt is filled with an unfamiliar plant fiber, which does not keep warm at all, so Su Wan can only persevere and persevere.

Although Song Tusu came very late again and left very early in the morning, Su Wan knew through Wang Zeng that the quota for entering Beijing this year had actually changed.

Baruch lures Ning Yixiu out of the city with a conspiracy, Song Tusu has to chase him out, the camp is taken away by the veteran again, Zheng Yanfeng is seriously injured and almost dies, and Baruch even almost breaks into the border town.The credit for this has already been divided up, but all the faults have been attributed to Song Tusu alone.

The emperor made a special decree to reprimand, implying that Song Tusu was not allowed to enter Beijing.

In the end, the quota for entering Beijing was determined, two veterans, one deputy general and Ning Yixiu.Zheng Yanfeng, Song Tusu, and the rest of the veterans stayed in the camp. If the rest of the soldiers had enough military merit, the rewards they got could be sent to their hometown by the yamen, and those who were more advanced could apply to return home based on their military merit.

"If you don't go to Beijing, something may happen." Su Wan is no longer whimsical this time, but a hidden danger she deliberately left a long time ago. At that time, she thought about herself, but now she feels a little guilty.

Smiling indifferently, Song Tusu said: "It doesn't matter. Even if the emperor knows that I lied about the military situation, he will not easily obliterate my military achievements."

"Maybe we can think of a way to earn some more military merits, and have an excuse to go to Beijing." Su Wan said, pointing to herself, "I, a member of the Bache tribe, and you, the general of the border town camp. If I deliberately approach You, if you obey Baruch's order at this time, maybe you can easily assassinate you..."
