After Qiao Mo and Xue Wanran got married in the first month of the first month, in early February, he led a team with Bizhu and Wangshan to go to Minzhou to suppress bandits.
At the beginning of the Western month, good news came that the Minzhou bandits who had been causing trouble for many years were wiped out in one fell swoop.
Qiao Mo's second-class meritorious service, and Bizhu's third-class meritorious service, have achieved outstanding results, especially Bizhu. However, in just a few months, the most popular story of the storyteller in the teahouse in Beijing is no longer a gifted man and a beautiful woman, but a 'goddess with strange power who overthrew her'. The weeping willows will make ghosts kowtow with a hammer. ’
But Qiao Zhendong said that the biggest contributor to the Qiao family was Xue Wanran.
Because just two days before the good news came, Xue Wanran was diagnosed with pregnancy.
Double happiness came, and Qiao Zhendong burst into tears and worshiped again and again in front of his ancestor's memorial tablet.
At the beginning of May, the prince officially took charge of the country. Xie Yu'an was appointed as the commander of the capital, in charge of the mobilization of troops and horses in various divisions.
When Xie Yu'an first took office, not only the military affairs were complicated, but also some people who were ignorant of current affairs thought they were senior and had many dissatisfactions with Xie Yu'an.
On this day, Xie Yu'an organized his army for drills, and a group of people were casually dealing with it, winking at Xie Yu'an.
"Commander, can you show me how to do it? You are handsome, so you will definitely look good when you do it."
Upon hearing this, the deputy general Zhang Xuan beside Xie Yuan raised his head and cast a silent look at those people.
Who can't you offend? Do you have to offend the King of Hell?
The king of hell is newly married and loving, so he is giving you a good look. You think he is a paper tiger, not knowing whether to live or die.
The huge training ground suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at the newly appointed young commander in unison. If we really talk about it, there are many people who are not convinced.
"Okay, let's spar and learn from each other."
Xie Yu'an smiled, he was so bright and easy to talk to.
The provocateur became more and more arrogant and said: "What if the commander loses?"
"If you lose, I'll let you be the commander." Xie Yu'an responded immediately.
"Seriously?" The visitor was stunned.
Xie Yu'an hooked his hand and said, "You're in a hurry, come on together."
These thorny heads are all accustomed to being tyrannical in the army. How have they ever experienced such ridicule?
They were all angered at the moment, and no matter what the rules or regulations were, more than a dozen people all swarmed forward with fists in their hands.
Xie Yu'an's eyes darkened, and he grabbed the person's shoulder with his bare hands. With a click, he took off one of the person's arms and threw it aside.
As fast as lightning, all the actions happened in just a moment, and the soldiers around him were all dumbfounded.
"This... this move is too fast."
With just this sentence, three more people fell on the field.
Zhang Xuan curled his lips and said, "Then you have never seen our general use a sword. The sword is so fast that the person's head has already rolled ten miles away before he can close his eyes. He is one of his own, so the general only lets you play with it. Home."
As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen people on the field fell to the ground and kept wailing.
Xie Yu'an stood still, raised his head, brushed the dust off his body, and asked casually: "Is there anyone else who wants to be the commander?"
Those words were obviously light and fell on people's heads, but they were like the weight of Mount Tai.
Everyone looked at the calm man on the field, and all of them shrank their necks in unison, not daring to express their anger.
Anyone with eyes can see clearly that this newly appointed commander looks easy to talk to and Qi Tuantuan, but in fact he is extremely ruthless and capable of killing at every turn.
The atmosphere on the field was in a stalemate. A carriage drove up from the entrance of the military camp, and a boy got out of the car carrying a food box.
"Let's break up."
Xie Yuan waved his hand, turned and left.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Xuan pointed at their heads, "You're lucky, it's time for dinner."
Everyone who follows Xie Yuan knows that Xie Yuan is in the best mood during the two hours before and after lunch.
Because the lunch sent by Madam has arrived, and if you go to the commander at this time, no matter how difficult the matter is, the commander will not be angry.
Xie Yu'an returned to his tent, and the servant in the mansion just brought lunch in.
Xie Yu'an cleaned his hands and opened the food box on the table. What came into view was a printed red sticker.
【I heard that there is a lantern festival in the east of the city tonight, and I have specially invited the conductor to share the feast with you. Please be sure to come. 】
【Also: Remember to bring money. 】
【Another one: New dishes, eat them clean. 】
【Again: I miss you. 】
There was no one in the tent, and the corners of Xie Yuan's mouth were raised to the highest point unscrupulously.
During this period, he was too busy with official duties. When he went out in the morning, Qiao Yin was not awake yet.
The two of them haven't gone out for a long time.
Xie Yuan calculated the time, changed his clothes, and went to the night market on horseback.
As soon as he reached the street corner, he subconsciously looked at the tree beside the road.
Last time, Qiao Yin was sitting on that tree waiting for him.
The tree trunks that were bare last winter are now lush with leaves, and the branches are covered with red flowers.
It turned out to be a pomegranate tree with pomegranate flowers in full bloom.
Qiao Yin stood under the tree, her long hair rolled up, waving to him.
Xie Yu'an strode over and Qiao Yin pointed it out to him, "Look, this pomegranate flower is blooming really well."
Xie Yuan followed her fingers and raised his hand to break off a branch, but Qiao Yin held him back.
"Don't move, stay on the branch and it will bloom longer."
Xie Yu'an followed her, and the two of them joined the crowd holding hands.
The lights in the night market tonight were particularly bright. Looking at the familiar street scene, Qiao Yin felt a little like he was in another world.
I've been here several times, but never really walked around.
The two of them came to the earthen pot of soup again. Qiao Yin tilted her head and asked him, "Do you want dinner, sir?"
Xie Yuan shook his head: "Not yet."
Qiao Yin couldn't hold back the next sentence, so he just said: "Me neither, let's eat here."
"good."
Xie Yu'an nodded, and the two of them tacitly chose the seat they had sat in before and ordered the same dishes as before.
Xie Yu'an wiped the stool for her with a handkerchief, heated the cup, and made tea.
The owner of the restaurant brought the soup they ordered in a crock pot and said, "Please use it with caution."
Just as he was about to retreat, he suddenly glanced at Xie Yuan and said in surprise: "Master, is it you? How are you? Have you mastered the earthen pot soup I taught you? Does your wife still like it?"
Xie Yu'an's face froze, and he shook his head sarcastically: "I didn't learn how to do it, and I blew up the pot."
The owner of the restaurant was very enthusiastic. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I'll give you two more earthenware pots later. You'll be able to do it after practicing a few more times."
Xie Yuan said thank you with a dark face.
Qiao Yinyi looked at him and couldn't help laughing when he saw the person walking away.
"Really exploded?"
Xie Yuan was very embarrassed, "It's okay not to mention it."
Qiao Yin discovered a new pleasure. The perfect Xie Yuan turned out to be a kitchen killer.
"I'm balanced." Qiao Yin smiled, "You can't do it either."
Xie Yu'an looked at her and said with some regret, "I want to make it myself for you to try."
Qiao Yin held his hand on the table: "General Xie's hand can hold a pen and a gun. He can protect the country and his family. It doesn't matter if he can't make a soup. It's the same if I make it for you."
"Also, thank you." Qiao groaned.
Thank him for taking her every word to heart, thank him for healing every shortcoming in her heart.
Xie Yu'an held her hand in his palm and said, "You're welcome. This is the minimum responsibility of a husband."
