Chapter 466 Doting on Wife
Jiang Ci gradually calmed down his breathing. He breathed a sigh of relief and leaned his face against her shoulder.
"Jiaojiao, I'm going on a long trip in a few days."
Yanshu paused slightly: "Where are you going?"
"Many of the refugees fleeing from Rongcheng and Nanwei Prefecture broke into the mountains. Ying Qi sent a message saying that dozens of deserters from Rongcheng were found among those refugees. There may be some in the camps on Qilian Mountain. Due to the risk of exposure, I have to go there in person, and there is no food to satisfy hunger in the mountains during this season. Those soldiers train a lot every day, and the logistics and food must be supplied in time. The last batch of food and grass we sent was only enough for them. It will take more than a month to eat, so I have to escort a batch of food and grass this time. "
Yan Shu said: "This matter is indeed difficult. When do you plan to leave?"
Jiang Cidao: "There are still some things to deal with in the capital. If you wait a few days and the mountains are poor, you can stay here in Xinyang Mansion. I will arrange for Wuming and a few Xuanzong disciples to stay and protect you. "
Yanshu nodded. She had just agreed to Mrs. Liu's plan to expand the skin care product business. Hundreds of acres of potatoes were planted on the mountain and she couldn't leave it alone. She really couldn't move away for a while.
"Okay, are the food and grass ready?"
"There are five thousand war horses raised there, and there is no shortage of fodder in the mountains. We also need to bring a batch of beans. As for the food for the soldiers, we have purchased some in Xinyang Prefecture, but now the food control in each state capital is stricter. If you want to expand Buying in bulk is not easy, I have arranged for someone to transport a batch from other places, and it should be delivered here in two or three days."
While the two were talking, the water in the bathtub was already cold.
Jiang Ci was worried that she would catch the cold because of this, so he smiled and said, "Jiaojiao, do you want to see me sincerely all the time? I am willing, but the water is already too cold, and I'm afraid your body won't be able to bear it."
Yan Shu's mind had already shifted to food and grass, and his face turned red at Jiang Ci's words.
He stretched out his arms and pulled off Jiang Ci's long gown, stood up and quickly put it on himself and stepped out of the tub.
"I'll get you some new clothes." After saying this, he ran out without looking back.
Jiang Ci leaned lazily on the tub, with a faint smile on his lips.
Teasing the little fox has become his daily pleasure. He may not be used to being separated from her for a few days.
Yan Shu was soaked all over, so he took out a pair of clothes from the closet and quickly changed into them. Fortunately, it was already late April, and he quickly warmed up after changing clothes.
She opened another cabinet and took out a set of cyan gowns and a set of white undershirts. Jiang Ci's clothes were originally stored in the next room, but this guy has been staying in her room since he moved to Jiang Mansion. Over time, all his clothes, daily necessities, etc. were brought into this room.
Originally, the two of them were called husband and wife, but if they kept sleeping in separate rooms, the servants would be suspicious, so Yan Shu let him go.
Putting the clothes on the screen, Yan Shu did not go in: "The water is cold. Please change your clothes quickly and come out. I will go to the kitchen to see if dinner is ready."
Hearing Jiang Ci hum from behind the screen, Yan Shu immediately turned around and walked out.
When they came to the kitchen, Aunt Zhao, Sister-in-law Li, and Sister-in-law Qin were busy preparing dinner. When they saw Yan Shu walking in, the three of them immediately put down their work and came forward to greet him.
"Meet Madam."
Yan Shu said with a smile on his face: "You continue to work on your own business, I just came to see what food was cooked for tonight."
Aunt Zhao smiled and said: "The young master has already ordered the old slave to cook according to what the madam likes to eat after he came back from the academy."
Yan Shu felt warm in his heart. Jiang Ci was a very careful person. Having known him for so long, he would always consider her first, whether in life or in other aspects.
Jiang Ci was going on a long trip this time. She didn't know how long the trip would take, so she should prepare more necessities for him.
Whether it's family, love, or friendship, she always believes that only by supporting each other and giving to each other can things last long.
"Sister-in-law Li, please come to my room if it's late."
"Okay ma'am."
After Jiang Ci took a shower, he dried his long hair and spread it casually around his body.
He was wearing a clean and dusty azure gown. He stood tall and tall under the moonlight. His long, smooth black hair was like silver threads swaying in the night breeze. His wide sleeves and hem were like a cloud of mist. The breeze is lingering, and the jade trees are bright and unstained by the world.
When Jiang Ci saw Yan Shu coming back, he walked up to her and gently held her hand.
"Jiaojiao, come with me for a walk."
Yan Shu reached out and touched his long hair, and a faint floral fragrance came to his nostrils. This was the shampoo she developed. It smelled of jasmine. Jiang Ci liked this smell very much.
"My hair isn't dry yet."
"It's okay, just take a walk outside and you'll be able to do it."
The two of them walked out of the back house and strolled slowly along the corridor.
Yan Shu looked at Jiang Ci: "By the way, if you are out for so long, won't it affect the academy?"
"I have already asked Pei Daru for permission. After he agrees, the dean and other masters will not say anything more, as long as it does not affect the autumn of next August."
Yan Shu looked at him: "So you plan to enter Beijing through the imperial examination?"
Jiang Ci pondered for a moment, then rubbed her palm gently with his thumb.
"This is the most direct way to enter the court."
Yan Shu knew in his heart that in the original book, Jiang Ci suffered too many hardships and his character was distorted. He chose to directly rebel. This way, no matter whether he wins or loses, it will eventually leave a negative impact on history.
The ancients paid great attention to the reputation of future generations, and even the emperors who were regarded as emperors were somewhat afraid of historians. The reason was simply that they were afraid that their reputations would be infamy after a hundred years.
Today, Jiang Ci has avoided the encounter in the original book, and his character has not become distorted. He will naturally choose a method that is more beneficial to him.
"I want to take over my eldest brother and my second brother before you leave. After you leave, there will be no one to help me harvest the crops. My skin care product business also needs help. After thinking about it, these two are the most suitable ones. candidate."
"You want to take them into space?"
Yan Shu nodded: "What do you think?"
Jiang Ci pondered for a moment: "The eldest brother and the second brother are both trustworthy people. Although they have never entered the space, they also know that you can conjure things in the fairy world out of thin air. Letting them come here will not only reduce your burden, but also help me." Protect you so that you can feel more at ease after I leave."
Seeing that Jiang Ci thought there was no problem, Yan Shu smiled and said, "Then you can send someone up the mountain to bring them down early tomorrow morning."
"You don't have to wait for tomorrow. I'll arrange for people to come over in a while and let them get used to it for a few days. I also have something to say."
"Okay, dinner is almost ready, let's go back."
"Ah."
The two returned to the front hall, and Nanny Zhao immediately ordered Sisters-in-law Qin and Sister-in-law Li to pass on the meals.
In the evening, I made three dishes and one soup, one braised shrimp, one sweet and sour pork, one stir-fried bamboo shoots, and one ginseng chicken soup.
Sister-in-law Qin's craftsmanship is good. After getting to know each other in the past few days, she can see that the man of the house loves his wife very much. She has never seen someone who loves his wife so much in her life. Even the food she cooks must be in line with the wife's taste. Come.
The madam has a gentle personality and will never show off to servants like them. She also lets them eat the white rice and flour at home. Sometimes if the food she cooks does not suit her taste, the madam will personally demonstrate to her.
"Madam, try this braised shrimp dish. I made it according to the method you taught me. It cannot be compared with what I made. If you have any comments, please mention it. I will improve it later."
Before Yan Shu moved his chopsticks, Jiang Ci had already raised his hand to pick up a prawn, peeled off the shell himself and put it into Yan Shu's bowl.
He continued to peel the second shrimp and said to the people standing by waiting on him: "You guys go down first."
"Yes!"
