After losing the vest at the beginning, the female general was forced to marry the scheming prince

Chapter 142
Qu Chusui took Jiaorui and Chunxiao to meet those businessmen.

"I am an official of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. These two Jiang girls are relatives of a colleague of mine in the Luo Mansion. They are going to the Luo Mansion to visit relatives. I hope you can give them a ride."

After speaking, he took out a bag of silver and gave it to the merchants.

The merchant saw that Qu Chu had a big knife hanging from his waist, was imposing, and was an official of the Ministry of Punishment, so he dared not neglect him.Seeing that he was polite and only asked himself to take the two girls with him, he agreed again and again.

After talking with the merchants, Qu Chu said to Jiaorui, "Treasure!"

Jiaorui's eyes became hot, and she tried her best not to let the tears flow out.

"Adults cherish it!"

Although it was not long before she met Qu Chu, but Qu Chu is the noble person in her life!
……

This year's New Year is on the road.

Ning Youbei also wanted to rush back to Yudu to celebrate the New Year, but there were so many prison cars, money and other stolen goods with him, so he couldn't get up sooner.

On the day of Chinese New Year, they were outside a small town 400 miles away from Yudu.

Along the way, except for Ning Youbei who would go to inns or restaurants to eat from time to time, the team of more than 2000 people made their own fires to cook, and the New Year's Day was no exception.

However, on the day of the Chinese New Year, Ning Youbei sent people from the small town to buy pigs, sheep, fresh vegetables, etc., as well as wine, and each officer and soldier was given ten taels of silver.

Originally, the officers and soldiers who were assigned to escort missions were still a little dissatisfied. They felt that it would be impossible to live a good Chinese New Year not to mention the freezing weather, but after the distribution of ten taels of silver, everyone was elated.

Without him, their one-year military salary is only about 18 taels in silver. This mission directly added half a year's salary, so I am naturally happy.

Ning Youbei also sat around the fire with the officers and soldiers for the New Year's Eve dinner.

He looked at Qu Chu who was sitting beside him drinking silently, and asked, "Ah Chu, how did you celebrate the New Year?"

Qu Chu put down the wine bowl.

"Before the age of 15, I celebrated the New Year with Master and Bingyu every year.

During the Chinese New Year we all make dumplings, but I have never been talented in cooking, so every time I am only asked to do rough work such as rolling dumpling wrappers and chopping dumpling fillings. meddle. "

Speaking of this, Qu Chu missed Qu Bingyu a little bit.

I don't know if she is having a good New Year in the general alone?Originally, I thought I could spend a lively year with her this year, but I didn't expect to let her spend it alone.

Seeing Qu Chu's nostalgic appearance, Ning Youbei asked, "Do you miss those days very much?"

Qu Chu thought for a while:
"I didn't think about it so much. It was fun at that time, and it was good later.

After I was 15 years old, I spent all my years in the army.It's almost like today, drinking and eating meat with the soldiers.Everyone is a person who lives and dies together, and they feel very happy when they are together. "

After finishing speaking, Qu Chu looked at Ning Youbei, "What about you? How will you spend the New Year?"

"me……"

Ning Youbei replied:
"It's the same every year. The palace will hold a banquet. Even if everyone is at odds on weekdays, it won't be too ugly on this day. But it's not very interesting to think about it."

After speaking, Ning Youbei looked at Qu Chu with bright eyes.

"As long as I think about being able to celebrate the New Year with Ah Chu every year in the future, I feel very happy.

I am very happy like today.

Even though I just stay here to enjoy the cold wind and eat simple food, I don't have any dissatisfaction.

But next year during the Chinese New Year, I still hope to sit in a warm room with Ah Chu, drink fine wine, and eat delicious food. "

Qu Chu didn't answer, but turned to look at the fire.

"Ah Chu, do you have any special feelings about celebrating the New Year with me this year?"

"No."

Two hard words came out of Qu Chu's mouth.

She has long since lost the emotion of these little children.

Ning Youbei was still not reconciled, and asked: "Then you don't have any thoughts today?"

Qu Chu thought for a moment:
"You had an idea when you gave each of these officers and soldiers ten taels of silver.

I was thinking that these officers and soldiers are much happier than the soldiers I lead.They only get extra income for escorting a prisoner, and the soldiers I lead have nothing when they face death every day. "

This is saying...

Ning Youbei na na:
"Did I do something wrong? I just thought it was difficult for them to not be able to reunite with their families in such a cold day, and I wanted to make it up to them."

Qu Chu said coldly:
"You did nothing wrong.

Things in this world are not so fair.

These officers and soldiers are much happier than the frontier guards in the northwest, but they are more difficult than those who live a good life, let alone those from powerful families.

You can see their difficulty and treat them with compassion, which is good. "

Seeing that Qu Chu didn't think he had done anything wrong, Ning Youbei relaxed again.

"Ah Chu, after I go back, I will suggest to Brother Huang: improve the treatment of the northwest frontier guards."

Qu Chu didn't speak out against it. She felt that it was right to improve the treatment of the Northwest Frontier Guards.But she thought at the same time: the most pitiful are those who died and were injured!
It's just that someone has to go to war, and someone has to die.

Either you die, or he dies.

Qu Chu also has no right to decide who deserves to die. All she can do is to minimize the number of casualties.

I only hope that the wolf country can live in peace for a few years after the last big defeat, and the soldiers on the northwest frontier can also live a peaceful life for a few years.

……

Yudu General's Mansion
Qu Chu didn't return, but Qu Bingyu still decorated the General's Mansion in a beaming and completely new look.

She called Wang Liangcong, Wu Dang and other generals who stayed in Yudu to celebrate the New Year together.

Everyone was acquaintances, and they often came and went to the General's Mansion, so they didn't have so many scruples, and Qu Bingyu came as soon as he called.

What Qu Bingyu prepared was spirits from the Northwest, as well as roasted suckling sheep.

Seeing the roasted suckling sheep, Wu Dagang grinned: "This is the general's favorite food."

Wang Liang said coldly from the side: "Don't you like to eat?"

"Haha, I also like to eat."

Qu Bingyu pursed her lips and smiled, liking the relaxed atmosphere very much.

Wu Dagang asked, "When will the general return?"

He didn't know that the general had gone to Jianghuai before, but he knew later.Fortunately, the past few months have been calm in Yudu.

Wang Liangcong poured a glass of wine and drank slowly: "A few days ago, I received a letter from the general, and I will be back in the early ten days."

Another general said:

"Before, I was envious of that kid He Dabao who could follow the general. How did I know that he was blowing the cold wind in Ancheng by himself."

Wu Dagang also laughed gloatingly.

……

When everyone was chatting happily, the soldier guarding the gate came to report:
"Miss Qu, Mrs. Su Shangshu sent some hot dishes over."

Qu Bingyu hurriedly said: "Let them in quickly."

Mrs. Su came to pick up Qu Bingyu to go to the Su residence for the New Year, and said that she could be with Su Fengjiao and Su Fengmei, but Qu Bingyu refused.

The General's Mansion is her home, and she just wants to celebrate the New Year in her own home.

……

　Jiaorui will show up again in the future and can help Qu Chu.
