I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 446 I borrow the bright moon from the sky! New Year!

Jiang Wan barely concealed her hostility towards Karasuma Heya.

The degree of resistance even exceeded that of Gongsun Xinyi.

Gongsun Xinyi's dissatisfaction and anger simply came from the fact that someone had touched her territory without her permission.

But Jiang Wan clearly showed hostility and... hatred.

He looked at Jiang Wan with some confusion, but Jiang Wan just looked at Han Shao quietly, waiting for his answer.

Han Shaochu was also a little surprised at first.

But then I understood where the root of the problem lies.

More than a decade ago, there was a small-scale encounter.

Three horses go and one horse returns.

There is not only one more orphan named Shao Ge'er in this world, but also one more orphan girl named Wan Niang.

So some hatred is not without reason.

It is unforgettable.

Karasuma Kazuya, the princess of Karasuma, carries the most core bloodline of the Karasuma clan.

Han Shao married her and gave birth to a child.

In Jiang Wan's subconscious mind, this might be an unspeakable betrayal.

Not only to her, but also to Han Bo who always secretly gave her candy in her memory!
But she couldn't blame her Shao Ge'er, so she could only vent her anger on Wuhuan Heya, and even on the... evil child in her belly!
After realizing this, Han Shao suddenly realized that he had previously been on guard against Gongsun of Liaodong, and it seemed that he had thought the matter too simply.

Han Shao was silent for a moment.

Because at this moment, any verbal rebuttal and interpretation are pale and powerless.

Facing Jiang Wan's eyes that seemed gentle and calm but were actually turbulent, Han Shao wanted to say something but stopped himself several times.

After a long while, he finally sighed and reached out to pull the soft hand that she held in her sleeve.

As expected, the white jade fingers clenched into fists, and even felt sticky and moist to the touch.

That was the blood that flowed out from the fingertips that pierced the palm.

"Look at you, why can't you just say it nicely if you have something to say? Why hurt yourself?"

Han Shao frowned and spoke with pity and heartache.

As he spoke, magical power surged in his palms, healed the wound instantly.

After carefully wiping away the glaring blood, Han Shao did not put it down, but took the opportunity to hold Gongsun Xinyi with his other hand.

Then he smiled and spoke gently.

"Not bringing her back is out of consideration for your feelings."

Having said that, Han Shao paused for a moment before continuing.

"Don't think too much for now, just think about our wedding ceremony."

"As for He Ya and her unborn child, you don't need to worry too much."

"Without your permission, let them stay on the grassland for now and we will talk about it tomorrow."

This is not cowardly.

It was just a helpless choice made after careful consideration.

The human heart is like a balance.

When the weights on both ends of the scale are unbalanced, they will naturally lean towards the other side.

Compared with Gongsun Xinyi and Jiang Wan, the weight of Wuhuan and Ya mother and son on the other side of the scale is undoubtedly lighter.

Gongsun Xinyi was a little stunned when she heard Han Shao's words.

She originally thought that in the face of their pressure, Han Shao would just use sweet words to fool them.

After all, based on her understanding of this thief, although he may seem smooth at times, he is actually very unruly at heart.

Even if I am attacked by swords, guns, axes, and halberds, I would rather break than bend, and never bow to anyone.

But now he bowed his head.

There was no thunderous rage, nor was there any cold indifference.

He just looked at them tenderly, his deep eyes full of tolerance.

On the other side, Jiang Wan was even worse.

She was so "willful" today, in fact, she was ready to face Han Shao's anger.

But the final result surprised her, yet not so surprising at the same time.

Her Shao Ge'er is like this.

From childhood to adulthood, no matter how I made him angry, he would never get angry with me.

He would just smile at him dotingly, as if his Wan Niang was fine no matter what.

But...what he didn't know was that Wan Niang was not that good at all.

She has been more vicious than ordinary children since she was a child.

She would secretly beat up anyone who bullied her in front of Shao Ge'er and make them look like they were in dire straits.

I remember when I was a child, a little cat at home died.

Shao Ge'er was very sad and she started crying too.

But in fact, she was not sad at all. It was just a clingy animal that meowed all day long. It was dead, so it was dead.

It won't cause her to have any unnecessary emotions.

Just like she always smiled gently at everyone, but she didn't know that these people were no different from grass and trees in her eyes.

This is the real Wan Niang.

It's just like at this moment, it's obvious that she is jealous, resentful, and taking advantage of Shao Ge'er's doting on her to force him to separate from his flesh and blood.

But Shao Ge'er was still not angry. Instead, he smiled and comforted himself.

Tears welled up in Jiang Wan's eyes. She bit her lips tightly, trying to control her emotions.

She didn't dare speak.

Because she was afraid that she would become soft-hearted once she opened her mouth.

But Han Shao suddenly said at this time.

"After the New Year, let's go meet Uncle Jiang and the others."

This 'Uncle Jiang' is naturally not Jiang Hu.

But it’s Jiang Wan’s father.

Han Shao had mentioned this matter to Jiang Hu before the war and they had already made a plan.

Now it’s just a matter of setting a time.

When Jiang Wan heard Han Shao's words, she knew that Han Shao had guessed her thoughts and wanted to reassure her.

Jiang Wan subconsciously avoided Han Shao's gaze and did not dare to meet his eyes.

At this time, Han Shao looked at Gongsun Xinyi who was standing beside him and said.

"You go too."

Gongsun Xinyi was stunned for a moment, but then she heard Han Shao continue.

"Parents to enrich people."

"An ugly daughter-in-law should always meet her parents-in-law."

"If they don't approve, how can you enter our Han family?"

When Gongsun Xinyi heard this, her face turned red, and then she spat at him lightly.

"You are the ugly one!"

Han Shao laughed out loud.

Then he pulled Jiang Wan over again, wiped the tears from her face with his own hands, and comforted her with a smile.

"Okay, this is New Year's Eve, it's a great day for family reunion, stop crying."

"When we really get married, we will spend every year like today, and grow old together for generations to come."

I have to say, when Han gets cheesy, few women in this world can stand it.

As soon as these words came out, Gongsun Xinyi looked into Han Shao's beautiful eyes with a dazed look, full of imagination and expectation for the future.

Jiang Wan let Han Shao wipe her face randomly and forgot to cry.

"It really looks like a little cat."

Jiang Wan burst into laughter at Han Shao's playful teasing.

Her crying and laughing appearance immediately attracted Gongsun Xinyi's mocking gaze. Jiang Wan was so embarrassed and angry that she wanted to fight back.

Fortunately, Han Shao, who had been nervous tonight, gave an early warning and interrupted immediately.

"How many men have ever returned from the battles of ancient times? They have left behind countless sorrows in the world!"

These words, "How many men have ever returned from the battles in history?", made the two women beside him tremble in their hearts, and they quickly stepped forward to cover his mouth.

"Don't say such unlucky words!"

Who says that martial arts is not superstitious?

But Han Shao smiled carefreely.

"I have returned from the battle today, and I have two beautiful ladies by my side. I have no regrets in this life!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand and replaced the teacup in front of him with a wine cup.

"Come, let's raise our cup to the moon and drink together."

Gongsun Xinyi heard this and laughed mercilessly.

"You are always talking nonsense. Where does the moonlight come from on New Year's Eve?" Indeed.

New Year’s Eve is the time when the old moon and the new moon replace each other. So where does the bright moon come from?
Even though she laughed at him, she actually raised her wine glass obediently.

Han Shao laughed when he heard this.

"Mulan is underestimating people, isn't she?"

"I said that this bright moon should exist, and it should exist."

As he spoke, Han Shao raised his cup, looked up to the sky, and spoke loudly.

"Look, I will borrow a bright moon from the sky to drink with us!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sky above the courtyard in the side yard suddenly became bright with moonlight, and then a huge bright moon rose slowly and finally hung high in the sky.

Han Shao stood under the bright moon and looked at the two women with a proud expression.

"Look, if I say something, even God will give me some respect."

Gongsun Xinyi and Jiang Wan are not bad in talent, and can even be called outstanding.

But after all, their cultivation was weak. They could not see through Han Shao's methods, nor could they tell whether the bright moon in the sky was real or fake.

They were simply shocked by the dreamlike scene before them.

They just felt that under the bright moonlight, the person in front of them and in their hearts completely occupied their entire being.

It was not until Han Shao gently touched them with the wine cup in his hand that they suddenly came back to their senses.

"This is the first time our family has gathered together to celebrate the New Year. We should drink this cup to celebrate."

"Two good wives, please."

Gongsun Xinyi and Jiang Wan, who had just woken up, had not yet drunk any alcohol, but their faces were already flushed as if they were drunk.

The wine cups touched each other, Jiang Wan looked at Gongsun Xinyi beside her and spoke in a gentle voice.

"Sister, please."

Gongsun Xinyi, who usually had a sharp look like a warrior, now had a gentle look in her eyes.

"Sister, please."

The two girls acted a little, then looked at Han Shao with shyness on their faces.

"Husband...husband, please."

The word "husband" was so soft as a mosquito's hum, and it was obvious that she had mustered up the courage of a girl to call out.

Han Shao laughed heartily, even happier than when he had trampled Dragon City and forced all the nobles in the royal court to bow to him.

……

Three people were in the courtyard, with the bright moon hanging high in the sky, drinking together.

It seemed as if they wanted to pour out into this night all the longing and yearning that had accumulated over the past year due to their being apart from each other for most of the time.

No one dared to disturb the maid guarding the courtyard, they could only look at that place with envy.

Just like this, time passed by little by little without anyone noticing, until a hint of white gradually appeared on the horizon.

Han Shao then sighed.

"It's the New Year..."

It's spring again.

Gongsun Xinyi and Jiang Wan did not understand the complexity of Han Shao's sigh.

No one knew where Han Shao's last glass of wine, which he offered to the void, was going.

They only know that their life will be perfect with the person in front of them.

"time to go."

When they heard Han Shao's farewell, they were suddenly frightened.

But then she realized that Han Shao was just going to be busy and deal with things, and would still be by their side, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Some people blame Han Shao for his nonsense, but at the same time, they feel sorry for Han Shao for being busy all day long.

Therefore, she felt regretful for having asked her husband to seek a title of nobility.

"If you feel tired, you can take a rest."

"Exactly. You have so many people to support, so why do you have to work so hard all the time?"

Han Shao heard this and smiled.

"It's not yet time."

As he said this, he saw the two girls hesitated to speak, as if they wanted to say, "How many fish do you need to catch to be considered enough?"

Han Shao smiled, then moved closer to the two of them and whispered in their ears.

"Not enough, far from enough."

"One day, I want you to live in the sky with me, so that all living beings in the world can look up to me."

After saying this, Han Shao laughed and disappeared in front of the two women.

Gongsun Xinyi and Jiang Wan, who were left alone after hearing this, suddenly opened their eyes wide with shock and fear in their eyes.

After a long moment, Gongsun Xinyi withdrew her absent-minded gaze and suddenly said.

"That child is of the Han family's bloodline after all. It would be inappropriate to let him wander in that wild land."

"I'll find a time to take him home and raise him."

Seeing that Jiang Wan remained silent, Gongsun Xinyi knew that she had not yet resolved her worries. Even if she agreed now, things would still be difficult to achieve.

So I didn’t continue talking about it.

Just when Gongsun Xinyi thought that Jiang Wan would not respond, she heard Jiang Wan sigh helplessly.

"Wait a minute."

Is this a relief?
Gongsun Xinyi was a little surprised, but didn't care much.

Girls in this world are always soft-hearted when facing their own lovers.

Just like Madam Gongsun, who has been through many battles and knows Han quite well, how could she not see the trick of retreating to advance that her good man Han played last night?
So what if I just saw through it?
I just pretend to be confused willingly.

……

Han Shao was also pretending to be confused.

Some things can only be done slowly and steadily. If you just let your temper take its course, things will only get out of control.

Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish.

To put it bluntly, it's like boiling a frog in warm water.

The same is true for managing a household.

After leaving Gongsun Xinyi and Jiang Wan, Han Shao even took the time to return to Shangguan Zhi's bedroom and stay there for a while.

The main focus is on comfort and respect.

When Shangguan Zhi pretended to wake up from a daze, Han Shao took the opportunity to peck her forehead lightly, making the usually cold woman blush, then he took out the silver wrapped in red paper from his arms and handed it to her.

"Happy New Year."

Seeing Shangguan Zhi was a little confused, Han Shao explained with a smile.

"Keep it. This is a red envelope. Everyone gets one."

Han Shao was trying hard to replicate some traces of his previous life.

As a remembrance.

After receiving the heavy red envelope, Shangguan Zhi no longer cared about where Han Shao had gone last night, and suddenly felt a little distressed.

"All? How much will it cost?"

Well, after a woman has completely surrendered herself physically and mentally, she always has a strong sense of immersion.

But soon Shangguan Zhi realized that this was something that the mistress of the house should worry about, and immediately showed a somewhat gloomy look.

Han Shao chuckled upon seeing this.

"Money is earned, and if the superior is too stingy, nothing great can be accomplished."

After saying that, he said again.

"If you are interested in this, you can communicate more with Chen. She has always been very stingy."

Well, except for him, Han.

Han Shao's words subtly maintained Shangguan Zhi's sensitive self-esteem and also gave her something to do.

Not only her, he also planned to follow suit with the others.

This will prevent them from being idle and looking for trouble, making the entire inner courtyard and backyard a mess.

Shangguan Zhi was horrified when she heard Han Shao's words.

She doesn't want to communicate with other people!
Just stay in this small yard, and it’s best if no one disturbs her, this is the best!
Seeing her socially anxious and cowardly appearance, Han Shao was so angry that he laughed, but he didn't force it too much.

As long as she doesn't cause trouble for herself, she is happy.

After leaving Shangguan Zhi, Han Shao changed into a red and purple robe and came to the front court.

As usual, red envelopes were distributed personally to Zhonghang Gu, who was nominally the governor of the Six Gates but was actually the chief steward of the palace.

"Please arrange the maids and servants in the mansion and make sure no one is missing."

After hearing Han Shao's instructions, Zhong Xinggu happily accepted the red envelope, said a few auspicious words of thanks, and nodded in agreement.

"Lü Yan..."

Han Shao opened his mouth to greet him, then suddenly realized that he had left the guy on the grassland to eat ice chips, and suddenly felt a little lost.

"With Lu Yan not here, who do you think can replace him?"
