Son as Wife

Chapter 38 Ning Cheng

  Before dawn the next day, Yan Jingshu was awakened by Jiang Chenghan from her sleep. He splashed his face with the water that Jiang Chenghan had brought in advance, and he became sober. After Jiang Chenghan disassembled and assembled the tent, the group of people continued to drive in the dark again.

Because of Jiang Chenghan applying medicine and massage for Yan Jingshu every night, as well as taking care of her every day, even though she drove for ten consecutive days, and spent the same time as everyone else on the road, Yan Jingshu did not experience any discomfort, and looked very energetic , Let Jiang Chenghan feel relieved.

Just like that, they ran for another three days. Before reaching Ningcheng, Jiang Chenghan and his party met the generals of Ningcheng who had received a message from Fei Ge in advance, and at the same time, they also got news about the war in Ningcheng.

There was indeed a war between Beidi and Danu, but the scale was not large, and it was not even a battle. Prince Mutuo of Beidi looked at Princess Fuya, the daughter of King Danu, and sneaked into Dannu territory wants to rob.

Fortunately, Muto's plan was not successful. Not only did he not get the beauty back, but he was also discovered by Danu. Although he escaped from Danu in the end, he lost his troops and was in a terrible embarrassment. This so-called battle was the battle between Beidi to rescue their prince and the Dannu soldiers who were chasing Muto.

Because Muto was seriously injured during the escape, the Danu people vented their anger for themselves, and even if Beidi wanted to avenge Muto, they were wronged. Although Danu was not stronger than Beidi, they were also He was not easy to provoke, so he withdrew his troops and did nothing more. The two countries died down, and the peace of the past was restored on the surface.

As for the Daqi border people who were harassed during the war between the two countries, it was the nearby rogues pretending to be Beidi and Danu people. The generals stationed in Ningcheng have sent people to find out the movements of this group of rogues, and they are waiting for Kou Shijun to give an official order. , you can go to encircle and suppress.

Hearing this news, knowing that the border emergency has been resolved and everything was a false alarm, Jiang Chenghan and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, feeling a lot more at ease. Even so, everyone still had to continue to Ningcheng, but they could relax a little more than they had to rush day and night like before.

In the end, although there was only one third of the journey left, it still took more than ten days to finish the journey.

Compared with the bustling, wealthy, outstanding people, and meticulously crafted capital, Ningcheng, as an important military town on the border, has a much tougher and rougher folk style. Seeing the patrolling soldiers in armor with sharp faces and solemn faces, it seems that the atmosphere of the whole town is very heavy and solemn, with a strong atmosphere of bloody killing.

If you are a newcomer to Ningcheng, you will be very uncomfortable, at least Jiang Chenghan thinks so, so he looked at Yan Jingshu, wanting to introduce Ningcheng to Yan Jingshu. The color of nostalgia can't help but pause. His eyes flickered, and he swallowed back what he was about to say.

After entering the city, Kou Shijun said to Jiang Chenghan: "Chenghan, you are newly married now, so I will give you half a month of marriage leave, and you will go home first to resettle. Don't think about anything else, I will send someone to call you."

Just as Jiang Chenghan was about to say something, Zhang Zhao also said at this time: "Yes, brother Jiang, the newlyweds are very happy, you can't leave the new husband at home, can you? Don't worry, I will help you with all your errands, and I will pay you back." When I got married two years ago, you gave me a favor."

Kou Shijun's order Jiang Chenghan naturally would not disobey, Dang even cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient, and thank you general and Brother Zhang first.

" Zhao naturally told him not to be polite. Afterwards, everyone didn't say any more, and soon the troops were divided into two groups. Zhang Zhao and others followed Kou Shijun to the governor's mansion where Kou Shijun lived in Ningcheng, and Jiang Chenghan took Yan Jingshu to the house he bought in Ningcheng in the early years.

Like the house rented in the capital, the house in Ningcheng also has two entrances, but it is not as exquisite and ornate as the house in the capital, but because of the vastness of the north, the area is much larger. There is also a garden with a pond, which is detailed. Calculated, the area is equivalent to a house with four entrances in the capital.

Originally, Jiang Chenghan used to live mostly in military camps, or in the Dudu Mansion, and rarely lived in the mansion. This mansion was almost bought. It is still the same today. Most of the houses are empty, not even furnished. A few.

Fortunately, when he was still in Beijing, when Jiang Chenghan used Kou Shijun to send news to Ningcheng, he also sent a message to his friends in Ningcheng, asking them to help clean up the house, at least the necessary furniture, etc. Everything has been added, so although most of the house is still empty, it is no problem to live in Jiang Chenghan and Yan Jingshu.

It was just that it had been empty for many days, and there was still some dust, so Jiang Chenghan asked Yan Jingshu to sit on the stone bench in the garden for a while, while he went to fetch water to scrub the inside and outside of the house, and took out the bedding and so on to dry.

He was busy, and he didn't know how long it had passed, until a burst of fragrance came, which interrupted his movements.

"Let's rest for a while, eat something before you get busy." Yan Jingshu held a half-meter-long tray in both hands and a basket in his arms, and walked slowly and carefully towards the stone table.

"You did all of this?" Jiang Chenghan couldn't help showing surprise when he saw the steaming and fragrant dishes on the tray, but he hurriedly stepped forward to take the tray from Yan Jingshu and put it on the stone table, and went to get it again. The basket hanging on his arm, and then he realized that there were fifteen or sixteen steamed buns in the basket.

Yan Jingshu smiled, and said while setting the bowls and chopsticks: "I made these two dishes, and I bought the plate of lo mei and steamed buns from the small shop on the corner of the street. I don't know if you like it or not."

Jiang Chenghan Glancing at Yan Jingshu, although he hadn't told him about it yet, and he had never passed by that small shop on the way back, but Yan Jingshu's familiarity with that small shop at this moment made him no longer feel strange at all.

He just smiled and said, "Of course I like it, I'm a regular customer of that store."

Yan Jingshu was not surprised by Jiang Chenghan's answer, but she also smiled happily, and said, "That's good, eat more if you like

, I've worked hard for you today." People have lost a lot of weight." Jiang Chenghan said that he didn't forget to bring food to Yan Jingshu, thinking in his heart that when he got married, he wanted to make him fatter, but he didn't expect that he was getting thinner and thinner now.

After a quiet and warm meal, Jiang Chenghan stopped cleaning up because it was getting late. Afterwards, he boiled a pot of hot water, let himself and Yan Jingshu take a good bath, then put away the quilt and remade it, and Yan Jingshu and they fell asleep quickly.

In the morning of the next day, Jiang Chenghan still woke up on time, but with the warmth and softness in his arms, it was a rare time of relaxation and comfort for nearly a month, and he couldn't help but yearn for the warmth and comfort of getting up on the bed, so he indulged himself once. Holding Yan Jingshu in his arms, he took a rare late sleep. When both of them finally woke up, it was already high in the sun.

"I won't be cooking today, let's go out to eat, and I will take you for a stroll around the city, so we can get to know each other well." After waking up, Jiang Chenghan wrote to Yan Jing who was getting dressed.

"That's fine." Yan Jingshu was already familiar with Ning Cheng, but he would never refuse Jiang Chenghan's proposal, and no matter where he was doing, as long as he was with Jiang Chenghan.

The comparison between Ningcheng and Jingcheng is not that big, not even half of the capital, but there are still shops in the commercial street. Afraid of starving Yan Jingshu, Jiang Chenghan first took Yan Jingshu to the best restaurant in the city - Cyclamen.

Although it is not a serious meal at this time, since the shopkeeper opened the door, he will not push the guests out. Jiang Chenghan thought that Yan Jingshu would like to be in the private room because he likes to be quiet, but Yan Jingshu finally chose a table in the lobby by the window, and then ordered some signature dishes with Xiaoer.

While waiting, Jiang Chenghan introduced Ning Cheng to Yan Jingshu, and occasionally told some anecdotes he had seen in Ningcheng, which made Yan Jingshu amazed and felt very interesting.

Because there were not many customers at this time, the food ordered was delivered quickly, and the two of them happened to feel hungry, so they ate slowly without talking. While eating, Jiang Chenghan quietly noticed which dish Yan Jingshu ate more, which dish she ate less, and which dish she had never touched before, and kept it in her heart.

After coming out of the restaurant, the two began to stroll in the street. Since it will take some time for Xi Muyuan and others to come to Ningcheng, some daily necessities are still purchased, and someone needs to do the rough work of cleaning and washing clothes at home. Jiang Chenghan had to resume his duties after his marriage leave. He couldn't stay at home all the time, so he couldn't do much work. Yan Jingshu couldn't do rough work, so he had to hire some people.

The two bought while shopping, and because it was inconvenient to carry, they paid a deposit and left the address, and asked the store to deliver them to their homes, and then they came to the dental office again.

Yan Jingshu recalled the two men Jiang Chenghan had arranged for him in his previous life. The shopkeeper of Tongya Shop expressed that he wanted two fourteen or fifteen-year-old twins to be his servants. A pair of brothers would be the best, they must be able to read, and their appearance should not be too ugly.

This is a difficult time for the shopkeeper of the dental shop. Shuanger is rare, not to mention that what Yan Jingshu wants is a pair of brothers who still need to be able to read and write. , and recommended a few that met Yan Jingshu's requirements in one or two aspects, and let Yan Jingshu choose.

Yan Jingshu originally came here for the sake of the two brothers, so he couldn't help but be disappointed to see this, but now that he came to Ningcheng several months earlier, perhaps because of this, there was a deviation, so he no longer insisted, and temporarily gave up his original plan. In the end, the shopkeeper of the dental shop helped to introduce two capable middle-aged couples to hire them to help with cleaning at home.

When they came out of the dental store, they saw that they had almost finished their shopping and bought everything they should buy, so the two of them headed back home and walked towards home. On the way, I met a small vendor selling fried chestnuts.

Smelling the scent of chestnuts, Yan Jingshu couldn't help looking over, Jiang Chenghan went to buy a pack when he saw it. Yan Jingshu was still embarrassed at first, thinking that at his age, he still wanted to eat something that children only eat, but when Jiang Chenghan peeled a chestnut and brought it to him, he still couldn't hold back, and opened his mouth to swallow it. In the mouth, the sweet and soft taste of chestnuts spread in the mouth immediately.

Lizi was not small, Yan Jingshu's cheeks were slightly bulging, and she was still moving, looking like a gluttonous squirrel. Jiang Chenghan couldn't help but laugh a little, but the soft and wet feeling left in the hand that was holding the chestnut just now made his eyes darken for a moment.

Jiang Chenghan's face remained unchanged, and he continued to peel chestnuts for Yan Jingshu to eat. Yan Jingshu felt embarrassed after eating a few, and hurriedly took a chestnut to peel for Jiang Chenghan to eat, but he didn't know whether it was because he was too stupid or the chestnut shell was too hard. A deep red mark looked unusually dazzling.

Jiang Chenghan hurriedly threw away the chestnuts in his hand, picked up his hand and looked carefully, and was relieved after making sure that there was no bleeding, but Yan Jingshu was not allowed to peel the chestnuts again.

Yan Jingshu couldn't compete with Jiang Chenghan, so naturally she had to listen to him, but she was too embarrassed to only eat by herself, and let Jiang Chenghan eat some too.

The two of them are just like you and me, and when the bag of chestnuts is bottomed out, they will almost arrive at the door of the house. Then Yan Jingshu saw a young girl who looked seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a plain linen dress but still unable to conceal her graceful figure, was standing at the gate of her house, as if she had been waiting for a long time.

When Yan Jingshu and Jiang Chenghan saw the girl, the girl saw both of them at the same time. Yan Jingshu could clearly see that when the girl's eyes fell on Jiang Chenghan, they were so bright, but when she saw herself next to Jiang Chenghan again, she froze for an instant.

Yan Jingshu was very sure that he had never seen this woman in his previous life, so he couldn't help but pursed his lips and turned to look at Jiang Chenghan questioningly.
