Chapter 329 Overnight at Yue Mansion
Chapter 329 Overnight at Yue Mansion
"He's General Zhongwu now!" Wu Fei was standing next to Jiang Yue. At this moment, he felt as if his success would bring prosperity to everyone around him.
Xue Wen added: "Soldiers, we have money now. The soldiers of the Xuanwu Army will be rewarded with 200 silver taels each!"
After hearing this, the soldiers were furious.
Two hundred taels of silver may be a small amount for the rich and powerful, but their annual military pay is not even that much.
General Zhongwu had brought them through life and death, and had brought them to the imperial court. They would be General Zhongwu's men all their lives.
"General Zhongwu?" Wu Ning's heart began to beat wildly. "We have a junior fellow who became a general. Brothers, did you hear that?"
Wu Fang and others thought of their master. If the master knew about this, he would definitely be happy.
The Xuanwu Army also followed Jiang Yue's rise step by step. When they heard the four words "Zhongwu General", broken smiles broke out on their faces.
Lin Guo and Mu Heng looked at each other and thought of their grandmother at home. The old lady would definitely be very pleased.
As they stared in amazement, they smiled and looked at Jiang Wuni who was hiding in the dark.
She stared at Jiang Yue with a stiff gaze, but what she was thinking in her heart was, should she keep this huge lie hidden forever?
I think so. Jiang Wu Ni hopes to keep it a secret forever, but she also doesn’t want to keep it a secret forever.
If it threatens Xiaoliu's comfort, it is better to choose the former.
Jiang Yue and the fifth sister looked at each other. The fifth sister's smile was very pure, but it did not reach her eyes.
Jiang Wuni then looked at the soldiers and said loudly,
"Soldiers, it's time to eat!"
In the Yue family's kitchen, she, her two brothers-in-law and other soldiers who could cook had already prepared two large pots of stew.
Knowing that Xiaoliu would be confused, she did not forget to explain,
"It was given by Lord Li."
Jiang Yue understood. She had originally thought of inviting the soldiers out for dinner.
Since entering the city, the soldiers, who had been working hard for most of the day, were already starving.
Now that I heard it was time to eat, I couldn't wait to fill my empty stomach.
As early as when they were working in the morning, the soldiers had already taken off their armor and were only wearing red military uniforms.
The soldiers gathered around the dining room and began to eat.
Jiang Yue sat with her fifth sister, holding a steamed bun in one hand and a bowl of rice in the other.
As there were many guest rooms in Yue Mansion, the soldiers rested on their own after lunch.
"Sister, walk with me." Jiang Yue approached Jiang Wuni. Fifth Sister was a ray of light for her in the iron-blooded war.
"Okay." Jiang Wu Ni followed Jiang Yue and strolled with her through every corner of the Yue Mansion.
"Sister, Xiaoliu is now a General of Zhongwu, and the Xuanwu Army is praising me, why don't you praise me?"
Jiang Yue's voice was clear, with a hint of appealing interest.
"Xiaoliu has been praised since he was a child. Does he still care about his sister's praise?" Jiang Wuni said gloomily.
"I don't care about others, I just want my sister to praise me." Jiang Yue was childish for once.
But Jiang Wuni turned her head to the side, and her red eyes showed how extremely unstable she was at the moment.
"Okay, then I won't praise you anymore." Jiang Yue's voice was still clear. She just smiled obediently, with a hint of determination in her eyes.
She is not like her fifth sister. There are no complicated thoughts in her eyes. She is only positive and determined to create greater glory.
"The young general has made great achievements and will be remembered for generations, but few people know that this young general has a hidden secret and every step he takes is dangerous. Fortunately, he is determined and will be remembered forever!" Jiang Wuni praised sincerely, and a smile finally appeared on her face.
Xiaoliu wanted to listen, so he followed her wishes.
"Fifth sister is really good at praising." Jiang Yue raised the corners of her lips, but then smiled and shook her head.
The praise from the fifth sister was too heavy.
He looked at the simple coffin in the yard and lowered his eyes unconsciously.
The master's body needs to be reburied.
Jiang Yue and her fifth sister walked to the backyard, where there was a rockery in the middle.
Looking from the outside, the originally desolate courtyard of Yue Mansion has changed a lot now that it is popular with people.
The backyard was divided into five small courtyards. Jiang Yue guessed that the middle one must be the former residence of Master Yue Tingshan, so she took her fifth sister and entered the small courtyard in the middle first.
The small courtyard is divided into the main room and the side rooms, and the weeds inside have been cleared away.
Pushing open the door of the house, there is a suite inside, divided into three rooms, inside and outside.
There is also a weapons rack in the outer room, on which are placed various spears of different lengths.
"This place is so big." Jiang Wuni exclaimed, she said, fearing that there might not be such a large courtyard in Huai'an County.
Compared to the general's mansion, this is just an ordinary courtyard.
"It's not small." Jiang Yue was calm and carefully examined every detail of Master Yue Tingshan's former residence.
At this moment, it was getting dark.
Although Jiang Yue and the soldiers wanted to go out for a stroll, they just wanted to rest.
After all, human energy is limited.
At night, the soldiers stayed in the guest rooms of Yue Mansion.
Some people wanted to go out and stay in an inn, and Jiang Yue agreed to their requests one by one. However, only a few people went out.
Although Yue Mansion did not have so many guest rooms, they could always squeeze in. The soldiers at the border had suffered all kinds of hardships, and they could sleep peacefully in the wilderness or on the grass covered with corpses.
Jiang Yue and her fifth sister found a neighboring room to live in.
I had thought that I would not be able to sleep at night on my first day in the capital, but I didn't expect that at around 10 p.m., the Yue Mansion was already pitch black.
The next morning, His Majesty's reward arrived in the account.
Now that the soldiers had money, they all went out to stroll around the streets, thinking of buying themselves some clean clothes.
It's so hard to come to the capital, if you don't take a good look at the prosperity here, wouldn't it be a wasted trip?
Jiang Yue and her fifth sister walked on the bustling streets of Lindu City.
When I entered the city yesterday, I didn't take a good look at the streets. Now, compared with the streets in Qingyun Prefecture, it is much wider.
The shops are lined up in an orderly manner.
At this moment, Jiang Yue had already changed into the blue brocade that her grandmother had made for her before she left. It fit her perfectly and she was neither cold nor hot.
Jiang Wu Ni was wearing a light green dress and following Jiang Yue.
Walking to the stall, Jiang Wuni stared at the sugar figures on the street in a daze.
"Two candy figures." Jiang Yue said to the guy selling candy figures.
The young man looked at the man and woman in front of him and handed Jiang Yue two candy figures with a smile.
"Four coppers."
Jiang Yue paid the money and continued walking with her fifth sister.
Jiang Yue, who usually doesn't like sweets, made an exception today.
As Jiang Wuni ate the first candy man in her life, her thoughts gradually drifted away to Taoyuan Mountain Village.
Thinking of what she had said before, that she wanted to expand her business to the capital, Jiang Wu Ni became eager to make a move.
If my third sister comes, we’ll open a restaurant here.
My second sister and brother-in-law can open a cloth shop here.
My eldest sister and her husband can open a supermarket. Yes, the supermarket that Xiaoliu mentioned is a grocery store.
Of course, she was just thinking about it now. Xiaoliu's foundation was not yet solid, and they didn't know much about this capital city.
