Senior Superstar

  Chapter 168 Three-layer Armor and Qianzhangsi

  The dream continues.

  The life of the person in the dream also continues.

  For a long time in the future, the owners of the perspective will travel between the small Zhuangzi and the magnificent palace outside Chang'an.

  One by one, beautiful clothes are formed from her dexterous hands. In this process, Li Shixin follows the girl's perspective and movements, and memorizes tailoring skills such as shaping, cutting, and sewing.

  Besides the boring daily life of female workers, candied haws has become a bright color in this memory.

  Every time you enter the palace and come out, there is always a young man holding a candied haws standing by the street in the market outside the imperial city.

  But one day, things will change.

   "Hey, I will come over tomorrow. Don't forget the candied haws."

   "Cixiu, you have eaten one hundred and twenty-five skewers, haven't you eaten enough?"

  Looking at a bitter face of the teenager, the girl raised her little foot and kicked it up!

   "Idiot!"

  From the perspective of a girl, Li Shixin is clear. Candied haws had been eaten long ago, and even occasionally when the teenager was not paying attention, the remaining one or two of the bunch of candied haws were quietly thrown away by the roadside by the girl.

"I gotta go!"

   was kicked, the boy didn't feel the pain, but just smiled stupidly.

   "Huh?" The girl was dumbfounded: "Where to go?"

"My family’s field has long been gone. Grandpa said that he’s getting old, and there is no field in the family to raise a few of our brothers. Let my third brother and I, who are not married, go to the army to make a living, and the family can also make a living. More money and food subsidies."

  Hearing this, the girl was stunned.

  She suddenly felt that the candied haws she wanted to throw away in her hand became heavy.

   was silent for a long time before she asked, "Mobei, it's so far away? If you go...when will you return?"

"I heard from the soldier who recruited soldiers. If there is no war, it will be five or six years long and three or five years short. Um... I think it’s better to catch up with the war. When I earn the seventh rank of military merits, I will save enough. Ask the mother-in-law for the capital and come back."

   "You, when you went to the military pawn, you were rushing to beg your wife?! You, you are not ashamed!"

   "Hey? Cixiu, Cixiu!"

  Not listening to the shouts behind her, the girl ran back home with the unfinished candied haws.

  ...

  In the boudoir, the latest clothes are ready.

  The girl lay listlessly on the edge of the long case, screaming at the drunk immortal with a veil in front of her, muttering curses in her mouth.

  "You little thing that doesn't know how to be ashamed! What's wrong with people wanting to beg your wife? They have never said to be your lover, what kind of temper are you so good at?"

  The poor catching drunk fairy was swayed by the wind and rain with his slender fingers, but he kept standing up again—just like a girl's heart that can't be lost.

  The next day, on the way to the palace, the girl saw the boy again.

  It's just that this time the boy was not waiting for her, but stuck in front of a blacksmith's shop.

"If you don’t have money to buy a complete set of armor, what are you going to do to apply for a soldier? Go and go, I am not a place for ordnance. The cheapest set of armor is three thousand dollars, when will you save enough, and when will you want to go again? About recruiting soldiers!"

  Looking at the boy who was blasted out, the girl bit her lip.

  In the palace.

  Looking at the white long-sleeved dress on her body, the imperial concubine was very satisfied.

  But seeing the girl's worried face, she put away her joy, and said: "Cixiu, but who has offended you?"

   "Ah," the girl came back to her senses, "I don't have a mother."

   "Then why are you unhappy?"

  The girl lowered her head, after a while, she raised her head again: "Manny, I want to ask you for a reward today."

   "You ghost girl, what object did you photograph?"

   "The slave wants three layers of armor on the upper body, thighs, and shin, one armour. One twelve-stone crossbow, fifty arrows, one sword head, and one short sword."

  Hearing this strange asking for reward, the imperial concubine was stunned: "You are a girl, what do you want these soldiers to do?"

  Faced with this question, the girl didn't answer, just stubbornly bowed down.

  "That's all. God knows what kind of demon wind your girl is making again, come here." The imperial concubine waved.

   "Niang Niang."

   "Go, inform the imperial army, and prepare what she asks for."

"Yes."

  ...

  On the noisy street, teenagers are still waiting on the path that girls must pass.

  But this time, he didn't bring candied haws.

   Seeing the girl, sweating profusely, carrying a big package, walking staggeringly, the boy hurriedly greeted her.

   "Cixiu, what did you take? Why is it so heavy?"

"Humph!"

  The girl glared at the young man fiercely. Seeing that he was empty in his hands, she curled her mouth and stretched out her hand: "Where is my candied fruit?"

"Um," the boy felt embarrassed: "I just came to tell you about this. I may lose my faith... You must bring your own three-tier armor and soldiers when recruiting soldiers. I... I can't buy you candied haws in the future. I want to save money."

  "Save money to buy armor and soldiers, so that you can go to your Mobei and earn your mother-in-law?"

   Facing the girl's question, the boy grinned.

  Looking at the bustling crowd around her, the girl snorted and pointed to the bag of things on the ground, "Go, find a quiet place to talk!"

"Oh,"

  In the alley, the boy blinked in confusion, "Cixiu, what do you want to say when you pulled me here?"

  The girl lowered her head, staring at the big package, and mustered her courage in the teenager's doubts.

"this is for you."

   "For me?"

  The young man opened the package suspiciously, seeing the armor and weapons of the Forbidden Army inside, and a beam of joy was released in his eyes.

   "Where did you get it?"

  "Don't worry about it!" The girl turned away shyly, "With these things, you can earn your Rank 7 military merit, right?"

   "Hmm!"

  "Then I gave you these things, which are considered as the support of this girl. When you have earned enough Rank 7 military merit, you have to marry me when you come back!"

  The girl closed her eyes and shouted out what she was holding in her heart.

  The boy was stunned.

  Seeing that the person on the other side did not respond to her explicit statement, the girl stomped her feet bitterly, and ran away with her face flushed with shame.

  Behind him, the boy scratched his head while holding his dazzling thigh armor.

  Looking at the girl's back, he shouted.

   "I wanted to marry you!"

  ...

  The young man wore the three-layered body, thighs and shin armor given by the girl, wielded a twelve-stone crossbow, carried fifty arrows, He Ge carried a sword, wrapped three-day food, and ran with a heavy load. I ran for a hundred miles from dawn to mid-day and passed the enlistment.

  It didn’t take long for him to get the military order that the army was about to go out.

   is still on that long street, and the boy bought all the money he had saved during this period of candied haws.

  The red candied fruit is inserted on a long pole wrapped in linen, like a small tree with candied fruit branches.

   Coming out of the palace, she saw the boy with a shining armor and a smirk on her face. The girl was in a mixed mood.

"it's time to go?"

"Ok!"

  Long silence made the teenager feel inexplicably owed. He stretched the candied haws, which he held in his hands like a sword, to the girl, "Here, this is for you. You can eat enough at a time, don't say I broke my promise!"

  Looking at the big cluster of candied haws, the girl lifted her feet and kicked it hard: "Idiot!"

  The young man was in pain, but was not angry. He just wiped the small footprints on his shin and continued to giggle.

  The girl sighed, took out an object from her belt, and stuffed it into the boy’s hand, "Here, this is for you."

   "What is this?" The boy's eyes widened as he looked at the white hair-like filaments in his hands.

   "It's silk."

   "Silk? What do I want this thing for? Can I eat it when I am hungry?"

   "Stupid! Don't talk! I like to watch Aniang draw silk when I was young. A small cocoon can draw a long silk. Do you know how long the longest is?"

  "..."

"why do not you talk?"

   "You won't let me."

  "..."

  The girl opened her eyes with anger. After a while, she felt that she might have just given up a smirk and could only give up.

   "Forget it, you fool. Let me tell you, I have seen the longest silk, which is as long as a thousand feet!"

  Looking at the girl's exaggerated gestures, the boy wowed.

   "So long?!"

   "Yes. Now, this one is a full length of silk. Although it is not as far as where you went, but..."

"but what?"

   "Oh, forget it, I told you that you can't understand it."

  The girl blushed and sighed and pulled out the silk tied with red thread from the boy's hand and stuffed it into his body armor.

   "Take it, don’t lose it!"

   "Hmm!"

   "Go, hurry up and earn enough military merit, hurry back!"

"Oh…"

   Wiping the silk in the iron armor, the boy nodded, and gave the girl a military salute of the latest learning. After showing a smirk again, he turned and left.
