Chapter 9 The innocent little captain
Wen Wan didn't expect that Shen Yu would blush to the ears after hearing it. It was just a joke.
Wen Wan: "..."
No, in the ancient environment where people got married and had children at the age of sixteen, how could such an upright-looking Brother Jun be left alone?
This reaction is like that of a young child and is unscientific.
Otherwise, try again?
She took it into consideration, reached out and touched his cheek, teasing him:
"So cute..."
Shen Yu: "?"
Before Shen Yu could react, Wen Wan withdrew her claws quickly.
Shen Yu later realized that he had been teased by this girl, and his face suddenly turned from red to black.
"The merchant's concubine is really shameless!"
Shen Yu cursed angrily, stood up and walked away.
Wen Wan blinked and stared at his back. She didn't look back happily until the figure disappeared.
"Should I say it or not, it's really fun to talk about an upright man."
"Oh, you dare to call me shameless? I haven't done anything truly shameless yet!"
The more Wen Wan thought about it, the more unconvinced she became. She grabbed the teapot and filled half of it with water, making up her mind.
"You bitch, scold me again next time, and I won't let you sleep with me!"

In the past few days, Kaneki clearly felt that something was wrong with the general's state.
Although the general did not explain the reason clearly, Jin Mu guessed that it must be related to Miss Xiaowan.
After the soldiers under his command were drilled by the general for another two hours, Jin Mu finally couldn't help but find Shen Yu.
Shen Yu stood above the school grounds, the clothes on his back soaked with sweat.
He untied the cotton cloth wrapped around his wrist, and out of the corner of his eye he saw Kaneki who was about to speak but hesitated.
"Is something wrong?"
Jin Mu nodded, "Prefect Wu is getting married tonight and is hosting a banquet for familiar colleagues in the courtyard. The post was sent the day before yesterday. You have been busy these past two days and haven't had time to show it to you yet."
Taishou Wu was getting married every year. Shen Yu had never been to such banquets before, but he just sent someone to deliver a gift and treated it as a worldly thing.
So although Jin Mu came up with this "justifiable" reason, he actually didn't know what he was doing.
He was already prepared for the general to let him handle it as usual.
Unexpectedly, Shen Yu lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, and then actually ordered: "Have someone backup the gifts, and tonight... you will come with me."
Kaneki was stunned for a moment, almost thinking that he heard wrongly.
Shen Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead and gave the order to rest to the soldiers who were practicing on the field.
The people who had practiced so hard that they had lost half their lives were finally able to breathe, and they all looked at Jinmu gratefully.
Unfortunately, Jin Mu really didn't have time to pay attention to these details. He was still wondering, why did the general suddenly agree to go to Governor Wu's banquet today?
The carriage stopped in front of the gate of the prefect's mansion, and Jin Mu couldn't help but ask.
"General, do you really want to go?"
Shen Yu was wearing a black brocade robe, low-key but still heroic as a general. He chuckled, "Of course I want to go."
Kaneki followed him with a gift box in his arms, "General, why, didn't you say that this kind of drunken and lascivious occasion can easily make our generals lose their fighting spirit?"
Shen Yu kept walking, feeling as if he was getting angry because his sore spot had been exposed.
“It’s okay to relax and unwind once in a while.”
Jin Mu still didn't understand, "But you also said that you should be strict with yourself..." Shen Yu suddenly stopped and glanced back at Jin Mu coldly, "I also said that the first rule for soldiers to abide by is to obey orders! You are questioning me. General’s order?”
"I don't dare!" Jin Mu shrank his neck and asked no more questions.

The moon was rising above the willow branches, and Wen Wan, who was well fed and drunk, moved a deck chair in the yard, admiring the moon while telling stories to a few half-year-old children.
Since Wen Wan told them a story from an episode of Journey to the West a few days ago, they have been pestering her to tell stories every night after dinner.
So a daily episode of the story of Sun Wukong fighting monsters became a regular entertainment item.
"This white-bone spirit was originally a scary skeleton. In order to seduce Tang Monk, he transformed into a delicate little lady..."
Wen Wan leisurely swayed with the recliner, and her eyes fell gently on a group of children with wide eyes and resentment written all over their faces.
Seeing that Tang Seng and Wukong's master and apprentice turned against each other, the atmosphere was almost exaggerated, and Wen Wan was about to make a plot twist.
Unexpectedly, a young man ran in in a hurry.
The boy's name is Shen Zhou. He is the eldest of the group of children and has just turned twelve this year.
Shen Zhou was a poor child. According to him, both his parents died at the hands of the Mobei people. He was lucky because he was sold as a slave at a young age and only managed to save his life.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The border town soldiers destroyed a Mobei stronghold a year ago and rescued him from the cage.
Other children, like him, are also orphans without fathers and mothers.
Wen Wan felt pity for them and became more tender and pampering.
Shen Zhou had a delighted smile on his face, "Sister Xiaowan, come with me."
"What?" Wen Wan was stunned.
Shen Zhou: "You'll know when you get here."
Wen Wan raised her hand and touched his head, "You brat, you're quite mysterious."
She got up from the recliner and followed Shen Zhou out of the yard.
At the gate, Jin Mu was sitting in front of the carriage driving. When he saw Wen Wan appear, he jumped down and clasped his fists and saluted.
"Miss Xiaowan, the captain asked me to pick you up to meet you."
Get together?
A glint flashed in Wen Wan's eyes, this statement did have some meaning.
However, Shen Zhou seemed very happy, tugged on Wen Wan's sleeves and pulled her aside.
He lowered his voice and warned like a young adult: "A woman regards her husband as her first priority. Sister Xiaowan, you should be more obedient to Brother Xiaowei. Men like well-behaved and docile women."
Wen Wan: "..."
Why does it feel so awkward to be told by a twelve-year-old how to please others?
After Shen Zhou warned her, he ran up to Jin Mu again and put on a simple and honest face with a smile.
"Brother Jinmu, Sister Xiaowan is young and ignorant. Please take more care of me outside. If it is convenient, please say a few nice words to Sister Xiaowan in front of Brother Xiaowan. When I get my salary from the army in the future, I will definitely do a good job. Honor you! ”
Kaneki: "..."
If he hadn't arranged for this child to live in this courtyard, he would have thought he was Miss Xiaowan's biological brother!
The general kept a low profile and never told these children his true identity. These children also thought that Shen Yu was just a junior captain.
None of this matters.
What Jin Mu is curious about is that their general comes to visit these children every month, but he has never seen them treat the general so heart-to-heart.
What's more, Shen Zhou is the most calm and calm among these children.
Why is it that Zhao Xiaowan has only been here a few days, and Shen Zhou is already begging for favors from him for her?
