Chapter 1123 I Can’t Bear to Take It (Second Update)
What does it mean to remain standing.
This night, Yang Ruoqing finally understood the lesson.
The arm was so sore that he couldn’t even lift it, and he hadn’t even ‘explained’ yet.
But she was so anxious...
I don’t know how much time has passed, but it’s finally over.
Looking at her right hand, Yang Ruoqing felt murderous.
I brought a basin and a handkerchief to help him clean up. There was still an ambiguous atmosphere in the tent.
After being satisfied, he lay there on his back, looking at her with a smile in his eyes.
“It’s great to have a wife!”
For a long time, he sighed.
Yang Ruoqing raised her lips and smiled: "Silly boy!"
The two hugged each other.
"Why did you run out tonight?" She just had time to ask these questions.
Luo Fengtang smiled and said: "I miss you so much when I think about the uncle and his bridal chamber in the next door room."
"Hehe..."
Yang Ruoqing smiled, hugged his waist, and rested her head on his chest.
"Your uncle's matter has finally come to a perfect ending."
"It's been almost half a month since you came back this time. Are you about to go back to the military camp?" She said asked again.
Mentioning this, the smile on Luo Fengtang's face faded a bit.
Silent.
Yang Ruoqing was surprised and looked up at him.
I found that his expression was a little solemn.
"What's wrong? Why do you look like this? Did something happen in the military camp?"
Yang Ruoqing sat up and asked.
Luo Fengtang frowned and remained silent.
Yang Ruoqing shook his arm: "Don't hide anything from me, tell me quickly!"
Luo Fengtang had no choice but to tell the truth.
"Actually, the reason why I'm coming home this time is because of my uncle's affairs, which I don't worry about."
"The second reason is to raise military pay." He said.
"Raising military pay?" Yang Ruoqing raised her eyebrows.
I immediately remembered that the Black Lotus Sect army captured Xiushui Town and besieged Licheng years ago.
Tang Yaozi, with one man and one horse, accidentally scared off the besieging army and resolved the crisis in Licheng.
He achieved great military exploits, so he was given a heavy reward from above.
While improving his military rank, he also gave him the power to raise an army.
For more than half a year, he and the Luo family army he had brought together had been training in the south to guard the border.
“The whole world is not the king’s territory, and the soldiers who lead the land are not the king’s ministers.”
“This military pay and food should be allocated from above, why do you need to raise it?”
Yang Ruoqing asked puzzledly.
Luo Fengtang said: "There is some allocation from above, but this year because of the incident of the Black Lotus Cult disturbing the people, training and other aspects have been frequent."
"In the south, our army encountered the Black Lotus Sect and the Southern Barbarians in some places, and launched frequent small-scale battles, and the losses exceeded the budget."
"As a result, the military pay is somewhat urgent. "
" It’s not just me, the same is true for General Xiahou and the soldiers under his command.”
“I trained the Luo Family Army. The soldiers’ food, clothing, and weapons are made by me. Naturally, I, the general, have to worry about it! "He said.
Yang Ruoqing nodded.
"Well, that's true," she said.
"How much military salary do we need to raise?" she asked immediately.
Luo Fengtang thought about it and reported a number.
“That’s only three months,” he added.
Yang Ruoqing frowned slightly.
This is really a huge expense.
If she didn't plan to build a new house, she could easily sponsor him with the money.
However, half of the new house has been built, and it is impossible to stop. If it stops, the previous half of the investment will be wasted. "Three months' money can still be taken out if I arrange it here." She continued.
"It's just that after these three months, things have become a little tight again!" she said.
Luo Fengtang raised his hand and rubbed her hair.
"Your money is accumulated slowly from one business to another. Even if you want to sponsor, I can't bear to take it!" he said.
Yang Ruoqing said: "Don't say stupid things, my money is your money."
"Now that you are in trouble, I should give you my full support!" she said again.
Luo Fengtang looked moved.
"Qing'er, don't worry about me about military pay."
"I plan to go to Qing'an County in two days to talk to the county governor about this matter, and maybe I can get some money. "He finally said.
"But..."
"Nothing but." He interrupted her.
“I am a man, I can handle matters in the military, keep your money for yourself!”
...
Luo Fengtang just left when it was getting dark.
The next day, when Yang Ruoqing came to the kitchen to have breakfast, Mrs. Sun said with a smile: "Uncle Luo came this morning and asked our family to go to his house for lunch in the morning."
< br>Yang Ruoqing nodded happily.
On the second day after the new daughter-in-law enters the house, according to the custom in this area, she has to get up early and cook a hearty breakfast for her husband's family.
Since Blacksmith Luo's parents had been dead for decades, Wang Cuilian had no right to show her filial piety.
So, I thought of organizing a lunch myself and inviting Yang Ruoqing’s family over.
In the morning, Yang Huazhong's family came to Blacksmith Luo's house carrying gifts.
Blacksmith Luo stood in the yard, looking very energetic.
Wang Cuilian changed into simple home clothes, with an apron around her waist, and stood beside him.
Seeing the large troops of Yang Huazhong's family coming in, the couple greeted them with smiles and smiles.
In the main room, after Yang Huazhong and Sun took their seats, Luo Fengtang was making tea and taking cigarettes.
Tiejiang Luo was chatting with Yang Huazhong.
Here, Wang Cuilian came to Xiao An with a whole plate of pastries.
"Xiao An, come and have a piece of cake."
Xiao An took a piece.
Yang Ruoqing said hurriedly: "Xiao An, you are just taking the pastries, why don't you say thank you?"
Xiao An raised her head and said to Wang Cuilian in a childish voice: "Thank you, aunt."
< br>"Haha, be good."
Wang Cuilian touched Xiao An's tiger head lovingly, then turned around and went to greet Da An and Xiao Hua Xiaoduo.
The atmosphere in the house was great.
Wang Cuilian said: "Brother Luo, you greet Lao San and others, I will go to the kitchen first."
Blacksmith Luo nodded: "Okay, you go."
Wang Cuilian smiled at Mrs. Sun again, turned around and went to the kitchen.
“I’m going to help auntie.”
Yang Ruoqing put down the melon seeds in her hand, stood up, and went to the kitchen.
Wang Cuilian was surprised when she saw Yang Ruoqing coming in.
"Qing'er, you are here as a guest. How can I ask you to come out of the kitchen? You have soiled your clothes carefully." Wang Cuilian warned.
Yang Ruoqing rolled up her sleeves and smiled.
"It's okay, why should we be polite? I'll help auntie." She said.
Wang Cuilian smiled happily.
The woman was immersed in cutting meat, while Yang Ruoqing was peeling garlic beside her. The two were talking and laughing.
The topic unknowingly turned to the old Luo family.
Yang Ruoqing said: "This is the first time I have entered the kitchen of Old Luo's house. Ouch,"
"That's dirty, that's messy..."
"My mother made a bowl of dumplings, and Tang Yazi asked me to put them in a wooden bucket of rice."
"As soon as the lid of the bucket was opened, a huge mouse ran out and almost scared me. Die, haha..."
Both people laughed.
