I steamed buns for the general

Chapter 18

After Qiao Feng arranged everything, he got on his horse and returned to the front of the team, and told Qin Jin the whole story.Qin Jin glanced leisurely at Lu Jun, who was still twisting his neck awkwardly, and sighed helplessly.It's also because he didn't think carefully, this Lu Jun is a rough person in the first place, he can't turn at all, and if he were to go, he would undoubtedly get into a fight with the little nun.But the little nun was also very sensible, even though it was awkward, she never talked about going back to Jiuru'an, which made him feel relieved.

After two days in the carriage, Zhijin's fever finally subsided, and her health improved a lot.The swelling on the cheeks has slowly subsided, revealing the original appearance, and the scar on the forehead has also scabbed, which is very different from the original appearance when he first joined the team.

The team is full of men, but Qin Jin governs the army strictly, never allowing his subordinates to make trouble or bully women and children, so this journey has been fairly safe.

Chatting with Uncle Zhang when he is in good spirits is quite comfortable.

Two days later, she was in good health, and she was embarrassed to eat and drink for free. When she set up camp at night, she went over and said with a smile, "Old man, let me steam the steamed buns for you."

Seeing that she was in good spirits, Uncle Zhang turned pale, shook his head and refused: "No, just rest, it's not easy for you as a little girl."

"It's okay, I'm much better now, I can steam steamed buns." Zhijin went to wash her hands, and went to help, the veteran saw her insistence, and he was too busy, so she let her go.

Steaming steamed buns is Zhijin's strength and her pleasure.I was in a better mood, and I started working a lot faster. Soon after, according to the requirements of the veteran, I steamed a pot full of steam.

The fragrance is pervasive. The veteran has been cooking for so many years, and it is the first time he smells such a fragrant steamed bun. He is very surprised by the craftsmanship of this little nun.The other Hutou soldiers around also smelled the scent, "Smells delicious steamed buns, Uncle Zhang, you are good at craftsmanship."

Veteran Uncle Zhang glanced at Zhijin with a smile, and explained: "The old man has never steamed such a delicious steamed bun in so many years. This little girl steamed it. The noodles are the same, even a little damp, but the steamed ones Steamed buns are different. This is also the first time for the old man to see them."

"That's what I said. We have quite a few steamed buns made by Uncle Zhang. It seems that everyone will have a good time tonight."

Everyone booed around.Knowing that she was surrounded by so many men and praised her, she felt even more ashamed for a while. She was at the back of the line these days and had never dealt with these people, even since she was born, she had never seen so many men.She lowered her head, looking around uneasily, at a loss.

"What are you doing? Don't cook well?" A voice with a smile came over, very familiar, Zhijin raised her head, and saw Qiao Feng coming in from the crowd, first took a look at Zhijin, and sucked her nose, " Did you steam it?"

Zhijin nodded, lowering her stiff head.

Qiao Feng smiled, seeing that she finally had the shyness of a little girl, she was very satisfied, and said to Uncle Zhang: "Uncle Zhang, hurry up and get some food, the general is waiting."

"Oh, it will be ready soon." Uncle Zhang is a veteran, admired the general's bravery, heard that the general was waiting, hurriedly prepared the meal, and then took twenty of Zhijin's steamed buns.

Knowing that the little nun was reserved and timid, Qiao Feng said to the soldiers around him, "Go to work, don't bully the little nun."

The crowd laughed.

Uncle Zhang came back after a while, and said to Zhijin with a smile: "The general was stunned when he saw the steamed buns, and then ate fifteen steamed buns."

Zhijin smiled, and then went to steam the steamed buns again, but thought in her heart that this general could really eat it.When I was in the nunnery, I only ate ten. Now I eat fifteen, which is enough for her to eat for five days.

With the care of the veteran and Qiao Feng, the road ahead will be much smoother.When eating, Zhijin steamed steamed buns with the veterans, and hid in the car to sleep when they were on the road. When they arrived in the capital three days later, Zhijin had returned to its original rosy color.

At the beginning, Zhijin was worried that Qin Jin would come to trouble her later, but after a few days of peace and quiet, the man seemed to have forgotten her, which made Zhijin feel lucky and a little obscure.

Fortunately, it was because she didn't have to face the sarcastic person, but she couldn't understand what she was worried about, and she always felt that there was something she had forgotten.

In this way, all the way to the capital.

The tall city walls and the bustling crowd made Zhijin fearful.Earlier, I thought that Jingcheng just wanted to find my parents and escape from that nunnery.But when she was really standing outside the city, she realized that all this happened so suddenly that she couldn't believe it.Of course, her fear is also because the capital is not as big as she imagined, and it is not easy to find her parents in the capital.

Because it is the capital, the team brought by Qin Jin cannot be brought into the capital. Most of the more than 3000 people stayed outside the city to camp and wait for the imperial court to dispatch, while Qin Jin brought Qiao Feng, Cao Meng, Zhao Hanshu and others into the city to meet the emperor. , waiting for dispatch.

Before returning to Beijing this time, their team had just won a battle, and the border was rarely stable. Emperor Tianren sent people to guard the border after thinking that the soldiers had not returned for many years. For heaven's sake.

After Qiao Feng made the arrangements, he went to report to Qin Jin about entering the city, and suddenly remembered the little nun, so he casually mentioned a sentence after the report: "What about the little nun?"

Qin Jin was taken aback, and looked up at him, "Ask her, if you have nowhere to go, you can go to the general's mansion to find a job, if you want to leave by yourself, you can just give her some silver and let her go." The little nun The colleague didn't even think about going to him to thank him all the way, and he had to worry about her whereabouts when he was done.

"It's the first time she's back in the capital..." Such a timid nun should not be bullied to death outside.

Qin Jin didn't care about these things, he got on his horse and went into the city after packing up his things.Although he was reluctant to part with the little nun in his heart, he also knew that the little nun was also stubborn. Even if he wanted her to go with him, she would probably not agree. Maybe she had her own plans, and he couldn't intervene no matter how reluctant she was. , Moreover, when it comes to the capital, it is also his territory, and it should be easy for him to find someone in the future.

Qiao Feng watched from the side, the corners of his mouth twitched, feeling that he had really thought too much about the little nun recently.Shaking his head, still worried, he went to the back to find Zhijin, and told her what Qin Jin said.

This is where Zhijin worries.She came back to the capital for the first time, how could she know the way?With no money on her, she really didn't know what to do.But compared to seeing that cold-faced person again, she would rather find a place to make a living by herself.Thinking about how she was treated when he forcibly took her down the mountain, she instinctively wanted to avoid Qin Jin.

"Thank you, General, for your kindness. I want to leave by myself, find a job in the capital, and find my parents by the way."

Qiao Feng didn't expect her to refuse so happily. His general is very heroic, and his return to Beijing three years ago also aroused the yearning of girls in his boudoir. How come this little nun can't avoid it?But the general also said to let her choose by herself, and he didn't want to be nosy, so he took out a few taels of silver from his sleeve and handed it to her, and suddenly smiled, "If you go into the city, if you have any difficulties, just go to the end of Yanzi Lane." The Mansion of the General Protecting the Nation in Dongtou went to the General for help."

After speaking, he wanted to pat her on the shoulder, but felt it was inappropriate, so he smiled awkwardly, and turned to chase Qin Jin.Qin Jin glanced at him, snorted coldly and said nothing.

At the east end of Swallow Lane, Qin Jin, the General of the General of the Protecting Country.Zhijin read silently, thinking of that cold and frightening general, she shuddered unconsciously, it's better not to go to him.That person's nakedness and coldness can scare people half to death, who would not want to go to him.

Zhijin bid farewell to the veteran Uncle Zhang, and went into the city. Looking at the people all over the street and the hawkers hawking, Zhijin was really shocked. It was the first time she came to such a big town when she grew up so big. It was the first time I saw so many people selling things.Walking up and down the street curiously, lamenting the prosperity of the capital.

Let's say that Qin Jin brought four generals into the palace to face the saints. Emperor Tianren naturally praised and boasted to them, and then let them go after rewarding a bunch of gold and silver treasures.Qin Jin parted ways with the four of them, and went straight back to the Palace of the General Protecting the Country.

No one in the whole house knew that he was going home today.Mrs. Qin's Jiang family, aunt Liu's family, second son Qin Yu, third son Qin Du, and eldest daughter Qin Meng all went out to greet him, while Qin Jin's father Qin Yang was in the yamen to report on his duties. Even if his son came back, he couldn't go home early.

In the Qin family, Qin Jin and the third son Qin were all descended from the Jiang family, while the second son Qin Yu and the eldest daughter Qin Meng were descended from Aunt Liu.The general's mansion didn't have such glory at all, because Qin Jin has made great achievements in the army for many years, so the Qin family can have such glory.Qin's father, Qin Yang, is only a fourth-rank civil servant in the capital, and has no real power, and he is not as influential as his son in the court.

Qin Jin came out of the palace with two hundred guards and went straight to the door of the house. When he turned into Yanzi Lane, he saw his family members waiting at the door.

Seeing the return of her son who had been away from home for three years, Jiang couldn't help but burst into tears. She wasn't one to cry, but she reacted like this because she really missed her son.Supported by Qin Du, Jiang took a few steps forward, held Qin Jin's hand and wept, "Son, you're finally back."

"Mother, don't cry, my son is back." Qin Jin hugged his mother, not caring about the worldly eyes.Seeing Aunt Liu pursing her lips from the corner of the eye, her eyes instantly turned cold.

Aunt Liu was originally Qin Yang's cousin, she was beautiful when she was young, when Jiang was pregnant with Qin Jin, she secretly climbed into Qin Yang's bed, and she became pregnant within a month.The Jiang family had no choice but, under the insistence of Mrs. Qin back then, on the grounds that the Qin family had few heirs, she took the initiative to raise her as an aunt.

Jiang's natal family is the Duke of Wei's mansion. She has practiced martial arts with her father and brother since she was a child, and her temper is also very hot. However, she was heartbroken by Qin Yang that year, so she agreed.Although Aunt Liu has tried her best to fight for favor these years, but Qin Yang feels sorry for his wife, and Jiang's popularity is not easy to bully, so these years have not caused any waves.

On the contrary, Qin Yu has developed a lot in the past two years. Two years ago, he participated in Chunxiong and got a Tanhua, and now he is working as a seventh-rank editor in the Imperial Academy, which made Aunt Liu harden up.Seeing Qin Jin come back and hug his mother, he naturally didn't care, feeling that Qin Jin was shameless.

But she also knew Qin Jin's ability, and also understood that the reason why Qin Yu got the chance was that Emperor Tianren loved the Qin family so much, she just wasn't convinced, and felt that her son had real talents and learning, and if given the opportunity, he would definitely make great achievements.

Qin Jin's eyes were very cold, which made the originally warm family meeting a little stalemate.Aunt Liu's sarcastic smile hadn't faded away yet, when she first saw Qin Jin's eyes, her face froze.I couldn't help but feel a big drum in my heart, that little dissatisfaction was instantly taken over by fear, and I couldn't move forward or retreat.

"Brother has worked hard all the way, go to rest first, let's have a good chat." Qin Du saw that his elder brother's eyes were unkind, and knew that Aunt Liu had offended him, so he quickly opened the topic.

Qin Yu has been an official for two years and has a lot of city power. Knowing that he can't fight against elder brother, he also greeted with a smile, and glared at his mother by the way, "Brother, mother is very happy to learn that you are back today, and father is also worried, but The yamen has something to do, so I can't come back for the time being, but I can come back in the evening."

Qin Jin still has nothing against this younger brother.In a blink of an eye, he said to Jiang: "Mother, I'm exhausted, let's go home."

Qin Meng is 13 years old this year. She usually has a hot temper. She is only afraid of her eldest brother. When Qin Jin is not at home, she is a savage girl. She relies on Qin Yang's favor and does not look down on others. Qin Jin is back, but now she doesn't say a word. Dare to say.

I haven't been home for three years, and the General's Mansion has undergone many changes. Fortunately, Qin Jin has a good memory, and followed Jiang's family into the house.

The Jiang family watched Qin Jin leave, and then looked at Aunt Liu with a sneer: "The general is back, from today onwards, don't come out easily."
