Lesson 85

  The brother slowly expressed all his thoughts.

  Then, with a wronged expression, she looked at Cui Ying and said, "I'm just afraid you and Wu Shu will quarrel, hoping you two can calm down."

  He was still a kid, and of course he didn't have so many twists and turns in his mind. He just thought it would be better this way, so he suggested it.

  Cui Ling let out a heavy sigh and patted the little head of Yu Ge, "Ah, it seems that Aunt Wu wrongly blamed you."

  A five-year-old child doesn't understand anything about relationships between men and women.

  He didn't know that the most unbearable thing between husband and wife is having misunderstandings without speaking out, so he came up with this self-righteous idea, which she could still understand, after all, children are like that, they don't think too much or too deeply.

  But Yuan Wulang would actually listen to a five-year-old child's opinion on his emotional matters, which really shocked her.

  Choi Yeong recalled what his quick-witted third sister-in-law, Lady Hyun, had said at home.

  Third sister said, "Fifth brother, don't look at him being handsome and clever, many girls in Shengjing City have a crush on him, but he is very stubborn when doing things. Our family has the rule of not taking concubines, so he is very strict with himself, afraid that he will wrong his future wife."

  Yuan Wulang, should seem maybe possibly, is still a young child...

  An old bachelor who has gone through a blank emotional experience, in terms of his thinking about women, is estimated to be not much different from a five-year-old kid.

  So this is why it would really be led by the nose by a little kid?

  Still thinking of taking advantage, treating others as fools, only to end up with a shipwreck in the ditch.

  She glanced in the direction of the main hall with great disgust, and then heard Old Huang calling her from the kitchen, "Madam, come take a look, these meats seem to be marinated just right."

  Cui Ling got up and directly stuffed the small pastries into Yu Ge's mouth, "Here, hurry up and eat while it's hot."

  She finished speaking and put down her plate, then walked straight into the house.

  The main ingredients and side dishes are all ready, next is stir-frying in a hot wok.

  As she was unsure of General Zhen Guo and Ninth King's taste, she made two dishes for each dish, one spicy and one not.

  Before long, dishes were served one after another: fragrant spicy beef, dry pot beef, scallion bursting beef, stir-fried lamb, braised lamb in red sauce. And to top it off, Old Huang had been simmering oxtail soup all along. The variety of dishes was still quite rich.

  Old Huang said that the Ninth King prefers lighter food, so she cooked a few more vegetarian dishes since there were plenty of ingredients in the kitchen and time was still ample.

  Then, the good food was placed in the food box and someone was called to carry it to the main hall.

  Yuan Wulang was discussing the next battle with his father and the Ninth King when he suddenly smelled a strong meaty aroma.

  He looked up and saw Cui Ying pulling Xiao Ge's hand into the house with a happy smile.

  It's natural to be surprised.

  Apart from being able to eat delicious food, it was just a moment's work for Cui Ying to get along well with Yu Ge, which made him feel even more unbelievable.

  Cough cough, in his opinion, Cui Ying was a bit narrow-minded and especially good at pushing responsibility onto others.

  It's like this. Obviously she was the one who hurt his heart, but when it comes down to it, somehow it all becomes his fault, and even now he's still trying to deceive himself.

  It's also a bit disappointing.

  She can forgive her brother. Why can't she also understand him? After all, he risked his life to save her, didn't he?

  Cui Ling smiled and arranged the dishes, separating the spicy and non-spicy ones into two piles. "Father, this is a dish from Shengjing City with chili pepper seasoning. Some people like it, while others can't get used to it. You try a little first!"

  She pointed to a similar dish next to it, which was not as bright red in color, "If this one doesn't taste good, eat that one. The cooking method is the same, the only difference is whether or not chili peppers were added, and the flavor is also excellent."

  The General of the Nation had long heard about these spicy dishes, and in the letters that Yuan Dalang sent to him, they were mentioned more than once.

  At this moment, those spicy dishes that made him yearn were in front of him, with exceptionally bright and beautiful colors, the aroma carried a hint of spiciness, and the color and aroma alone were enough to entice people.

  The General of the Town Guardian hastily picked up a chopstick to taste it, his majestic face first frowned, seemingly underestimating the flavor, was rushed by the spiciness, and let out two hisses. After a while, he felt a kind of sudden enlightenment and satisfaction.

  Just as heroes love liquor, his greatest asset in life was that burst of energy.

  Now this spicy dish not only tastes great but also gives him a refreshing feeling all over his body, even on cold winter days he can sweat profusely.

  He exclaimed with relish, "Delicious! So refreshing! Full of flavor!"

  He shook his chopsticks once, twice, three times, and then extended them one after another.

  This meal was eaten very comfortably. The three generations of the Yuan family, from old to young, need not be mentioned, and it is most aptly described as "eating with great relish" and "swallowing clouds and mist".

  Even the elegant and refined Ninth King couldn't help but wolf down his food.

  Chui Ying thoroughly won over the heart of General Town with one meal, and by the time she was about to leave, he almost regarded her as his own daughter, making Yuan Wulang seem like an unwelcome son-in-law.

  Town General shot several chestnuts on Yuan Wulang's forehead, "The war fire did not continue to Muzhou City, the situation here is good, you have time to take your daughter-in-law for a walk, there is Wang Ye sitting in town, it doesn't lack you."

  "However...” He changed his tone, “Your concerns are also reasonable. Ruan Ran is so shameless and unscrupulous, and he failed to kidnap your daughter-in-law last time. Who knows if he won't try again? After Stone Xiao Si's matter is settled in two days, send your daughter-in-law and Mei Ge out of the city."

  Shi Xiao Si had other tasks, so he was temporarily not in Mu Zhou City.

  Wait until he finishes his business, this war-torn place is not a place to stay for long, it's better to hurry back to Shengjing City to put people at ease.

  The General thought for a moment, his face slightly tense, and he seriously warned, "Xiao Wu, these past few days, I've ordered you to follow your wife everywhere, not taking a single step away! If there's another slip-up, just wait and see me beat you until your skin splits open!"

  Skin cracked... buttocks burst...

  Cui Ying turned her face away, unable to help but secretly smile.

  Yuan Wulang's face suddenly turned pale, but in front of his father, he could only hang his head again and again.

  Wu Ge decided to help his poor Fifth Uncle out of trouble.

  He gently pulled the hand of General Town, "Grandfather, Yu'er hasn't seen Father for a long time. Can you take me with you this time when you go out of the city? I...I miss Father!"

  The General of the Nation was somewhat embarrassed, "Brother Yu, although you are a son of the Yuan family. It's inevitable that there will be such a day sooner or later. But after all, you're still young, and the battlefield isn't as you imagine..."

  He thought for a moment, "How about this, when Grandpa leaves, your father will come over instead? You miss him and he misses you too."

  "Grandfather, I'm a man and I'm not afraid of the battlefield. Take me with you, I promise I won't be a trouble to you!"

  He knew from an early age that he would be leading troops into battle in the future.

  What is it like to lead soldiers in battle? He didn't have a very clear concept of it.

  Donning golden armor, armed with weapons, riding on a tall and mighty horse, engaging in a life-or-death battle with the enemy?

  Is it still a long sword out of its scabbard, a life-and-death struggle on horseback with heads flying and hot blood splashing?

  Brother's imagination of the battlefield all came from the elders' oral accounts and books, as well as his own imagination.

  His father is there too!

  Whether it was out of filial piety for his father or imagination about war, he really wanted to take a look at what the battlefield was like.

  Otherwise, why would he give up his comfortable life in Shengjing City and sneak onto the train for three days and two nights?

  He has suffered a lot on this road.

  But he didn't make a sound as if he wanted to come and take a look.

  The General of the Nation saw that Yü's attitude was firm, thought for a moment, and also agreed. "Alright, then you pack up your things and follow Grandfather for now. Wait a few days, and then come back with Uncle Shi."

  He dotes on his grandson and doesn't want him to get hurt, but if the child has this courage, he also doesn't want to strangle it.

  Fortunately, the recent stalemate with Rouran has given both sides a chance to breathe. The situation at the front is not as dire as it seems. Brother Yu will be arriving soon, and as long as you stay in his camp, you should be safe.

  The brothers and sisters happily went to pick it up.

  The General of the Nation also asked to pack up the unfinished dishes, and heard that a cook with the surname Lu had already followed Shi Xiaosi's team to the front line. He was in high spirits, so he still called Cui Ying to write down several new dish recipes to bring along.

  Before leaving, he whispered to Cui Ying, "Xiao Wu is a poor child. His mother died soon after he was born. As his father, I'm always away from home, so he's been raised by the old lady. Intergenerational upbringing can't help but spoil him, and his siblings at home all give in to him..."

  The General of the Nation hated that iron was not made of steel and stared at Yuan Wulang, who was dazing not far away. He sighed deeply, "Indulging him has led to his current behavior. Sometimes he's clever but also prone to mistakes; sometimes he's foolish but also reliable."

  "This old man is really at his wit's end and doesn't know what to do with me!"

  Just then, Yuan Wulang felt his father's gaze and, for some reason, whether it was fear or embarrassment, he reflexively lowered his head and secretly turned his body away.

  The Grand General of the Nation saw his petty family air and immediately got angry.

  He pointed at Yuan Wulang's shrinking back, his mustache twitching with anger, "Little Wu's wife, Dad will teach you a way to deal with this kid. If he acts like this again in the future, don't be polite to him either, just beat him up, beat him until he surrenders, and he'll naturally give in!"

  Cui Lingxin was secretly delighted, she had also wanted to beat Yuan Wulang for a long time, but she was a weak and delicate woman, while Yuan Wulang was tall and strong, so even if she wanted to hit him, she couldn't!

  She hesitated and said, "Dad, I want to knock Wu Lang down, but this is a bit difficult. Unless..."

  The General waved his hand and said, "What's so difficult about this? If he still dares to resist, you just write a letter to your father and see if your father won't teach him a lesson!"

  He rushed towards Yuan Wulang and roared, "You little brat, I have something to say, hurry up and come over here!"
