Chapter 123 Dog Skin Plaster
In fact, Pei Heng played with the gun slowly for a while, then said to Liancheng:
"It's still not working. I can't do many of the moves. I can only fight a little bit."
Liancheng gestured:
"This spear technique has 38 moves in total. The fact that the general can perform several moves even after recovering from a serious illness is quite impressive."
Su Li quickly handed over a handkerchief and said angrily:
"You! Do you know what "more haste makes waste" means? When you can stand, you think about walking. When you can walk, you think about running. When you can run, you think about practicing martial arts! If I had known, I would have put away your silver spear!"
Pei Heng laughed, not caring about his own sweaty odor, and hugged Su Li and said:
"Isn't everything fine? Nothing happened?"
Xie An ran over, with a look of admiration on his face and little stars in his eyes, and said:
"General, can you accept me as your disciple?"
Pei Heng took a look and said, "Okay! As long as you can convince your mother, I'll take it!"
"really?"
"really!"
Xie An didn't even think about the meat in his hand. He turned around and ran to Huan Ge'er, who was reading a book on the swing under the tree, and said:
"Did you hear that? Your father is going to be my master."
Huan Ge'er turned around and said calmly, "I heard it, but father said you have to convince your mother first."
He dared to bet that Xie An must have only heard the second half of the sentence and not the first half.
Sure enough, Xie An was stunned and asked, "Is that so?" Then he screamed and sat down on the swing, shaking Huan Ge'er so much that he fell to the ground without paying attention.
The crowd roared with laughter.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the general's mansion was busy making mooncakes, fruits, and hanging lanterns and changing colors.
Su Li and Song Ci sat in the pavilion, making lanterns and whispering to each other.
Song Ci said, "I haven't seen Sun Zhonghuai for over a month. In the past, I always hoped that he would stop playing around and study seriously. But now that he's really serious, I regret it."
"Because I can't see him?" Su Li was drawing the outlines of the lantern.
Song Ci shook his head. "In the past, he didn't study but lived a happy and carefree life, doing whatever he wanted. But now, he's such a craving for freedom, how can he bear to lock himself up in his mansion for so many days without going out? Oh, I wonder if the wounds that Old Master Sun gave him have healed."
Su Li said, "Don't worry. Huan'er goes to the Sun residence to study every day. He said that Mr. Sun is doing well and can run and jump again. It's just that he is so absorbed in his studies that he rarely comes out to socialize."
Song Ci nodded.
Su Li thought for a moment and asked again:
"Has Azhe been harassing you recently?"
As soon as the words fell, Song Ci's face flushed and he said angrily:
"Sister Su, your brother is so shameless, you have to take good care of him!"
"what happened?"
"He, he...in short, he's a scoundrel!"
Song Ci thought of how Su Zhe would send things to the Marquis of Zhenbei's Mansion every few days, and each time the sending was done with great fanfare.
In summer, ice is delivered every other day.
Now that the weather is getting cooler, we are starting to send furs and fabrics again.
When he heard that the Marquis of Zhenbei had sprained his waist in the military camp, he sent medicinal herbs to the camp one basket at a time.
I heard he even went to give the Marquis of Zhenbei a massage himself. Those outspoken brats in the barracks called him "son-in-law," but instead of explaining, he cheerfully gave each of them five pounds of beef jerky.
话传到宋慈耳朵里，气得她在逮住了苏喆一顿胖揍。苏喆还嬉皮笑脸说什么“打是亲骂是爱，不打不骂是祸害！”
She was so angry that she didn't know whether to hit him or not.
She really couldn't understand why Aunt Qin and Sister Su, who were such good people, had such a scoundrel brother?
Su Li laughed when she heard it.
When chasing girls, how can you not be thick-skinned? If you only care about your own skin, then your wife will belong to someone else.
In this regard, Su Zhe and Song Ci are truly a perfect match.
I just don't know who will capture the crystal first.
Speaking of the Ninth Princess, they both sighed.
Go back to the Marquis' Mansion for dinner in the evening.
The old lady only invited the Marquis, set up a table in Songhe Hall, and had a quiet and harmonious meal with Pei Heng and his family.
When Su Li returned to the General's Mansion, she looked at the vast mansion and felt that things had changed. She felt that in the deep night, the mansion was like a huge monster lurking there, ready to devour everyone and everything inside at any time.
Seeing the Marquis who was a little dizzy from drinking, the Marquis's wife muttered while wiping his face:
"Who's family is so picky about who comes to the reunion dinner? Brother Heng and his family moved out a month ago and haven't come back once. They finally came back today, but why are they hiding away?"
Originally, the Marquis was quite happy to see Pei Heng's family together, Pei Heng in good health, and having a harmonious relationship with Su Li, and the two children were also particularly well-behaved and smart.
When he heard his wife's nagging, his face immediately turned unhappy. He opened his eyes and glared at her:
"Don't think about that."
The Marquis's wife shuddered and said aggrievedly:
"Oh, Lord, what did I do to them? I told you that it's the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the family should be together for a meal. They came back and didn't even come to see their mother. Instead, they hid in the old lady's room. What's the point?"
"What do you mean? Don't you have any idea?"
The Marquis pulled off his handkerchief and threw it into the Marquis's wife's arms, saying angrily,
"Don't think I didn't see it. When someone came to give you holiday gifts and household expenses that day, you looked longer than a donkey. Haven't we benefited enough from Heng Ge'er over the years? Put away your selfish thoughts. Heng Ge'er doesn't want to argue with you. Otherwise, do you think you can still live a good life?"
After saying this, he turned around angrily, without taking off his shoes, turned his back to the marquis' wife and went to sleep in the bed.
The Marquis's wife was feeling unhappy as she counted the money she had missed. She went out and looked through the recent income of the Marquis's Mansion, then called Liu Xu and said,
"What's going on? Why is Xuxue Ice City's revenue so low this month? Did you secretly cook the books?"
Liu Xu was now busy with socializing, taking advantage of her honeymoon period with the Imperial Concubine to frequently appear at banquets hosted by various aristocratic families. She had long since stopped caring about the business of Xuxue Ice City.
She figured it out. No matter how well her business was doing, the money she earned would only end up in the hands of the Marquis' wife, who was like a Pi Xiu. She was only working for the Marquis' wife even if she worked her hardest.
Among the four classes of people, scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants are always inferior to others.
Only by clinging tightly to Prince Jing and the Imperial Concubine can one create a bright future for himself.
The Imperial Concubine said that the Ninth Princess was a fool.
After the matter was accomplished, the imperial concubine made Liu Xu her co-wife.
As for the Ninth Princess, there are thousands of ways to make someone disappear in the harem, just find a suitable opportunity.
Hearing the Marquis's accusation, Liu Xu nonchalantly played with her newly painted nails and said:
"If you don't believe me, Madam, you can go check the accounts yourself. Ever since the ice ran out at Xuxue Ice City, business has plummeted. Although it's autumn now and the milk tea business has improved, the same products are popping up like mushrooms in the East and West Markets, and there's no advantage at all."
Seeing Liu Xu's absent-minded attitude, the Marquis's wife was very unhappy. Liu Xu had clearly valued this business more than her life before, so why did she not care about it at all now?
"Then why don't you think of something?"
"Think of a solution? What solution can I think of? Besides, I'm helping His Royal Highness Prince Jing with other important matters right now, so I can't spare any time. If my lady has nothing else to do, I'll go back first. Tomorrow there's a Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, and the Imperial Concubine is waiting to take me to enjoy the flowers!"
After saying this, he ignored the Marquis' wife and walked away with a flick of his sleeves.
The Marquis' wife was left alone, feeling melancholy.
