Zhumen Chunshen

Chapter 230
In Luntai City, the streets are clean, the houses are tidy, the shops on both sides of the street are open, and the pedestrians are noisy, it is very lively.

The logistics base of the military camp occupies a large area in the north of the city. The general’s mansion, the residences of the generals and the lieutenants are also built there. In addition to the military camps of the Western Expeditionary Army, there are several strongholds on each side of the city. The main camp is stationed in the east and north. Twenty miles outside the city gate, the key points can be attacked when advancing, and defending when retreating, guarding Luntai City as the rear with horns.

Yun Xiaodie led Yao Cunhui's master and servants into an alley, and when they came to a door, her personal maid, Xiang'er, knocked on the door and raised her voice.

"This is my home. It's more convenient for Ms. Yao to live here. If you need anything, just ask." Yun Xiaodie was very kind.

Yao Cunhui thanked her endlessly.

As soon as I entered, there were several pots of drought-tolerant plants in the small courtyard. The branches and leaves were thick green, which made people's eyes shine.On the front, there are several houses. The houses are not built high, and the materials used are relatively simple and rough, but the overall appearance is very clean and comfortable.

"Miss, what is that? It looks so strange!" Xiao Li who was beside her discovered the New World, muttering in surprise.

Yao Cunhui followed her gaze, and saw three or four half-person-high cacti standing in the corner with thorns all over their bodies, which looked more and more emerald and dignified under the sun.

Yao Cunhui laughed casually: "That's called a cactus, a plant that grows in the desert, don't be naughty, the thorns on it are very powerful."

Xiaoli stuck out her tongue, smacked her tongue and said with a smile: "Cactus? The name is funny, but I've never seen a cactus palm full of thorns!"

Everyone laughed when they heard it.

Yun Xiaodie also laughed and said, "Xiaohui is so knowledgeable, she never thought she would know the plants in our remote Western Region!"

Yao Cunhui froze slightly, smiled and said nothing.She forgot for a moment that this cactus has already crossed the climate zone in modern society, and it can be found everywhere in the whole country, but it is still a rare thing these days, and it is absolutely not found in the capital.

Seeing that she didn't explain a few words, Yun Xiaodie also smiled and stopped asking, and invited their master and servant into the house.

The little maid poured tea, and Yun Xiaodie personally handed it to Yao Cunhui, and said with a smile: "Have a cup of tea and rest for a while, hot water is being prepared, take a bath later, you can sleep well! Room I've arranged it for you, it's in the back room, if you're not used to living here, just tell me, and I'll find a way to change it when the time comes!"

Yao Cunhui thanked her endlessly, what else could she say?Hearing Yun Xiaodie said that he prepared hot water for a bath, he felt even more at ease, and couldn't help showing a hint of can't wait, every skin and every cell on his body was screaming eagerly.

You must know that the most miserable thing for her along the way was the problem of taking a bath.

Yun Xiaodie is also a woman who loves cleanliness, so she doesn't know what Yao Cunhui is thinking, she couldn't help but pursed her lips amusedly, after a while the little girl came up to ask for the hot water to be ready, and asked someone to take Yao Cunhui away.

Yao Cunhui took a nice hot bath, and not long after, shopkeeper Lin came over.

Shopkeeper Lin simply reported to her the resettlement situation of the staff after entering the city, and reported that all the grain had been handed over to the Northwest Army Camp. Once you get the receipt with the seal of General Shen Da, you can set off for Beijing.

Yao Cunhui's heart skipped a beat for no reason when he heard the word "General Shen", and subconsciously glanced at Shopkeeper Lin.

Ever since she set foot on this land, Yao Cunhui's heart has been drifting, drifting with nowhere to go, and her footsteps are also deep and shallow, like stepping on a pile of cotton.

When she thought that he was also in this city, breathing the same air as him, and walking the path he had walked, she felt even more unreal in a dream.

Shopkeeper Lin was unaware of the abnormality of his little boss's house, and continued: "Tomorrow evening, General Shen will hold a banquet at the General's Mansion, and he has invited his subordinates and Shen Sheng to participate. Please tell me what gifts should be prepared?"

Yao Cunhui's complexion changed slightly, and the chest and diaphragm subconsciously blocked.Shen Quan wants to host a banquet for the guests, and exclude her?

Well, as a woman, she is indeed not suitable to appear on such an occasion, just look at Shopkeeper Lin's expression that it is natural for her not to attend Yao Cunhui.But I don't know why, but I just feel uncomfortable in my heart, very uncomfortable!

It's more uncomfortable than having your beloved toy stolen.

Shen Quan is her man, yet he excludes her from him——

"Young general Sun who picked us up, go and ask him, find out what the general Shen--General likes, go to the street to buy some suitable ones, plus the two cans of tea and some specialties we brought from the capital, That's it. Other relevant personnel can give gifts as they please, and my father must have explained it when he came."

"Then the subordinates will watch and prepare!" Shopkeeper Lin nodded to Yao Cunhui.When he came, Master Yao naturally explained everything, and now he mentioned to Yao Cunhui that it was just a report, and of course he knew what to do.

"I'm afraid you will suffer again in the past few days!" Yao Cunhui smiled, and said seriously: "And you guys, you have to worry about it, and explain to you that you should behave properly and don't make any troubles. Otherwise, don't ask me to intercede, I will not be the first to forgive you!"

Shopkeeper Lin's expression turned serious, and he answered solemnly.

After Shopkeeper Lin left, Xiao Li helped Yao Cunhui go back to her room to rest, and Xiao Xiang and Xiao Fang also rested separately.Yun Xiaodie explained with a smile, sent her to the room and went away, smiled and told her to sleep peacefully and call her again at dinner time.

The small hall suddenly became empty again, Yun Xiaodie stood in the middle dazedly, subconsciously rubbed it on the back of the chair with one hand, raised her head slightly and looked ahead, her thoughts became a little erratic.

"Miss..." Xiang'er on the side hesitated to speak, with resentment evident between her brows and eyes.

"Go to the kitchen to see how the preparations are going. Miss Yao has come all the way, so don't make people feel wronged!" Yun Xiaodie raised her head and gave Xiang'er a look, angrily cutting off what she wanted to say.

"Understood!" Xiang'er muttered dissatisfiedly, pouted her small mouth immediately, and said angrily: "What else is not ready? Even such expensive vegetables have been picked and put in the kitchen! Miss You are so kind! Kindness overflows!"

In the Western Regions, there is no shortage of meat, fresh vegetables can only be eaten by the really rich and powerful, and they are much more expensive than meat.

Yun Xiaodie's brows stood upright, staring at Xiang'er.

Xiang'er shrugged and curled her lips, then turned and went to the kitchen.

Looking at the slightly fluttering door curtain, Yun Xiaodie sighed silently, with a wry smile on the corner of her mouth.Luo Hua intends to be ruthless, not to mention seeing this person today, she is pretty, her temperament is refined, she is upright and generous, she is much, much better than the daughter of a reckless mountain bandit.If it was said that before meeting her, she still had two points of dissatisfaction, resignation and luck in her heart, but after meeting her, that little bit of confidence had already been blown away!
What does she compare with others?
What's more, in his heart, she has never been better than her. When he mentions her, the gentle look in his eyes is something she has never seen before!Even if she refuses to accept it, what can she fight for?
Yun Xiaodie laughed at herself, laughing at herself for being ridiculous.

Who is he?Is the person he likes an ordinary woman?
Yao Cunhui didn't know that Yun Xiaodie had scrutinized herself from head to toe, from front to back, from side to side, all the way along the way, and she didn't know that Yun Xiaodie's heart had already been secretly promised to Shen Quan.This sleep was sound and sweet, and when she woke up, the light in the room was flickering, Yun Xiaodie stood in front of the bed with her lips pursed and a smile on her face.

"It's getting dark!" Yao Cunhui smiled a little embarrassedly, turned over and sat up quickly, raised her hand to straighten her hair, and said to Yun Xiaodie.

"I was just about to wake you up for dinner, go to bed after dinner, otherwise, you'll be hungry when you wake up in the middle of the night!" Yun Xiaodie laughed.

"I'm kidding you, I'll get up now!"

Yun Xiaodie saw that her temples were scattered, her eyes were shining brightly, her dark hair set off her small face as white as jade, and her delicate and lazy expression was moving under the soft light, she suddenly felt a little depressed, and couldn't Ken looked at Yao Cunhui's face, avoided looking at her and nodded with a smile: "Then I'll get someone to prepare hot water for washing up, get up!" Then he went out with a smile.

Yao Cunhui felt strange, and raised his eyebrows slightly, wondering why Miss Yun's attitude suddenly became a little awkward?

After a while, Xiaoli came in with a washbasin and asked her to wash up, Yao Cunhui hurriedly dressed and got out of bed, letting go of her thoughts.

When the master and servant packed up and went out, Xiao Xiang and Xiao Fang were also there, so they sat down to eat together.

Yun Xiaodie had to be polite again.

Yao Cunhui saw that there were seven or eight bowls of dishes on the semi-old square table, in addition to beef and lamb chops, there was actually a plate of green fried lettuce.Stir-fried with finely chopped garlic, the fresh and oily color is very pleasing to the eye, and the light vegetable fragrance hits Yao Cunhui, who has never tasted vegetables for many days.

Yao Cunhui smiled gratefully at Yun Xiaodie.She knows how rare fresh vegetables are in this land.

Yun Xiaodie smiled at herself after seeing her eyes move away from the plate of lettuce, that smile was clearly sincere and sincere, and her heart was even more uncomfortable.You know, many people who came back here for the first time in the Central Plains always think that mere green vegetables are worthless. When ordering a plate of green vegetables in an inn and restaurant, they should not yell at others for being too much, or criticize the high and outrageous price. They even fought violently or dragged the shopkeeper to the official to be charged with bullying the market.The daughter of Yao Cunhui's boudoir, it was the first time she came here, she had such self-awareness, she really had to sigh.

"The dishes are getting cold, please hurry up!" Yun Xiaodie forced a smile and raised her hand to Yao Cunhui.
