Chapter 381: Chatting
Chapter 381: Chatting
Wang Jingshan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The border has been unstable recently. I will leave at any time as long as the imperial edict comes. I tell you today so that you can be mentally prepared."
Jin Yuyao said, "If you leave, will it be okay for me and my three children to stay in the capital?"
Wang Jingshan said, "Don't worry. If there's anything you can't solve, just go find Prince An. He'll help you in secret. Besides, you're already the county lord now, so Concubine Lin shouldn't make things difficult for you for the time being."
Jin Yuyao said, "She has been testing me since I entered the palace today. Since she hasn't said anything directly, I just keep pretending to be stupid. I just don't know how long she can keep pretending to be stupid."
Wang Jingshan comforted her, "There's nothing going on in the capital for now. I'll leave someone with you when I leave. I'll be relieved knowing that you have Wenzhu and Mother Qin by your side."
Jin Yuyao had no expression on her face and said nothing.
She walked into the room.
Wang Jingshan watched him walk into the room dejectedly and followed him in.
"Yuyao, are you reluctant to leave me?"
Jin Yuyao: "Swords have no eyes on the battlefield."
Wang Jingshan patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'm a general now. They're just harassing us a bit, and there shouldn't be a major war for the time being."
He took Jin Yuyao into his arms: "I know you are worried about me, just as I am worried about you, but I still have to go, it is my responsibility.
I was afraid that you would be like this, and I didn't want to tell you, but I was also afraid that you wouldn't be mentally prepared when the time comes."
Jin Yuyao said softly, "I just wasn't mentally prepared. I thought that after living peacefully together for so long, I'd forgotten that you were going to the battlefield."
Wang Jingshan comforted her, "Don't worry about me. I will be back safe and sound. I know you are waiting for me at home."
Wenzhu and Qin Mama were in the yard: "That girl Baizhi, why didn't I see her today?"
Mother Qin said, "She went to the Nishang Pavilion early this morning. Her mind is full of embroidered clothes and things like that. I heard she's been learning double-sided embroidery recently. She's so busy every day that she really can't take care of anything else."
At this time, Uncle Fu came over.
Uncle Fu smiled and said, "Mother Qin, what are you doing?"
Mother Qin said, "I just wanted to look at the flowers. Why are you here, Uncle Fu?"
Uncle Fu smiled and said, "There's a woman and a girl outside holding a child. They say they're from the general's hometown."
Mother Qin pondered for a moment and said, "Where are they now?"
"I saw them holding their children and letting them wait in the hall."
Mother Qin said, "Wenzhu, go tell the general and his wife. I'll go see if it's Huaxue's sister and mother who are here."
Wen Zhu nodded and walked to the door and said, "General, Madam, someone came to see you outside and said they are from the same village as you?"
Jin Yuyao, who was inside the house, heard the door open and said, "Someone's coming? Could it be Aunt Hua and her daughter?"
Wen Zhu said, "I heard that it was Aunt Hua and Hua Yu holding the baby."
Jin Yuyao said, "Then I'll go and take a look."
As she walked down the stairs, Wang Jingshan came out of the room: "I'll go with you to take a look."
Jin Yuyao turned around and smiled: "Great, it just so happens that they are here for the first time too."
The three of them came to the flower hall together.
Before I even entered, I could hear the babbling of the baby inside.
The two went in one after another.
Aunt Hua looked at the couple as if they were a perfect match and said, "Meet the General, meet the Madam."
Hua Yu also bowed while holding the child.
Wang Jingshan said: "Aunt Hua, Hua Yu, why are you so polite? Get up quickly."
She helped Aunt Wang up.
Jin Yuyao said, "Hua Yu, you're still holding the child, so you don't need to bow."
After everyone sat down.
Aunt Hua said: "Yuyao, I am so happy for you to see that you have finally found happiness after all the hardship you have endured. How can I call you that? You are the county lady now."
Jin Yuyao said, "Aunt Hua, please don't be so polite to us."
Aunt Hua laughed heartily and said, "That won't do. If others knew about this, they would say we didn't know etiquette, that the general's wife was hanging out with a bunch of people like us who didn't know etiquette. That would be a huge sin for us."
Jin Yuyao glanced at Hua Yu who was standing beside her and said, "Aunt Hua doesn't have that much trouble with me. Hua Yu, how are you guys doing lately? Have you gotten used to it these past few days?"
Hua Yu smiled slightly and said, "The capital is very prosperous. We have seen it all during our trip. I finally understand what Huai'an said, "It's all for the good of the children."
"Yes."
Wang Jingshan looked at the topic of the women and didn't want to get involved, so he stood up and said, "Aunt Hua, you guys can chat with me first. I'm going to go and get busy."
Wang Jingshan walked out.
Aunt Hua said: "Yuyao, I always thought you were different from us. As expected, you are not dependent on Jingshan at all. You are already the county lady. I never thought that there would be a person like you in our mountain valley.
You are doing well in the capital now. If you were in town, there would be people who would come to take advantage of you."
Jin Yuyao said: "That shouldn't be the case, right?"
Aunt Hua said, "Of course not. Since you left, you gave Mrs. Li some money. You don't know that they have been living a very comfortable life recently. Even the people in the town think she is General Wang's mother, and many people go to give them gifts.
I didn't want to mention her, but I thought you knew he was the type of person I was going to be with so I didn't want him to cause you any trouble.'"
Jin Yuyao knew what Li was like and said, "I'll have someone keep an eye on their movements. Thank you, Aunt Hua, for the reminder."
"Is it hard for Huayu to take care of the child now?"
Hua Yu said, "It's okay now. I'm older now and I still have my mother's help."
Aunt Hua smiled and said, "I often persuade them to have another child, but this girl simply doesn't listen."
Hua Yu blushed and said, "Mother, why are you saying this in front of the county lady?"
"The county lady is not an outsider."
Jin Yuyao also said, "Hua Yu, there's no need to be so reserved.
Aunt Hua continued, "After all, the Du family must have a son, right? Even though her son-in-law likes her now, one child is not enough."
Jin Yuyao said: "Hua Yu and the others are still young, so there is no need to rush. We can catch up when the child is older."
Hua Yu said, "Mother, look how anxious you are. The county lady has already said that it's okay to wait a few years."
Although Aunt Hua complained, her face was not angry at all: "Look at my daughter, you never listen to my opinions. No one else would open up to you about these things."
Hua Yu's face looked visibly bad.
Jin Yuyao said, "Hua Yu, this is a sweet burden. Look, even if I want my mother to say a few words now, I can't."
Hua Yu nodded: "I know, it's just that sometimes she says that and it annoys me. Now that we're in the capital, I think you should urge Hua Xue to get married."
She sighed softly after she finished speaking: "What can I do when Hua Xue is in someone else's house?"
"Mom, why do I hear a baby's voice? Whose child is this?"
