Chapter 129: Rebirth
All that Supervisor Xiao knew was that Prince An came over with the list and chatted with his wife for a while, but he didn't know the specifics of their conversation.
Xiao Yuan was in a good mood after returning from his break. While he was busy working diligently, he also sent two trusted servants to report to his wife, along with the new household registration for Liu Xu.
The lady didn't have many requests for him, so she naturally wanted to make sure things were done perfectly when she had the chance to show off her skills.
For the love-struck master, nothing pleases him more than his wife's words, "Husband, you're so amazing."
So what if he's not a man? He can do his best to satisfy his wife's needs both in and out of bed. He's more manly than anyone else.
As expected, Xiao Duzhu's exceptional efficiency and impeccable work skills earned high praise from his wife.
Jiang Xinyu had a love letter with a lip print sent back, filled with all sorts of cheesy words that could be summarized in one sentence.
My husband is so handsome, I love him so much, darling!
Governor Xiao was laughing so hard he looked like a fool, clutching the letter. He wished he could pluck the moon from the sky for his wife just for this affirmation.
Little Bean silently took two steps back, looking up at the sky speechlessly. He was hopeless; he was in the late stages of being love-struck.
He was no better than the foolish ruler who played with the feudal lords by lighting beacon fires.
Jiang Xinyu knew that if you want a horse to run, you have to give it enough grass. Even if the two guards obeyed the orders of the supervisor and did their best, she couldn't take them for granted.
Each person received a 100-tael silver note, which instantly increased the loyalty of the foreigners by several percentage points.
Lady Wang had already prepared everything, and now that everything was ready and Wang Huan had seen his new household registration, it was finally time to part ways.
Aunt took the Duan family and two foreigners back to Jiangnan. The two children cried for a while and then threw themselves into their intense practice.
Wang Huan was quite talented in martial arts and was willing to work hard. He learned horseback riding and archery even faster than Jiang Xinyu, which earned him high praise from his instructors.
Before leaving, Madam Wang left five thousand taels of silver notes for her godson. She originally wanted to leave more, but Wang Huan refused to accept them, so she had to give up.
Now that he has a household registration and no pressure to survive, Wang Huan decided to join the army after careful consideration.
He was neither suited for the imperial examinations nor had any talent for business, so after much thought, joining the army seemed to be his only option.
He's getting old and doesn't have time to plan carefully; military merit is the most direct and fastest way to get promoted.
The northern border of the Great Jin Dynasty was not stable, as the barbarians would raid southwards every time the harvest season was over.
He can now ride a horse, shoot arrows, and has learned some martial arts skills, which puts him ahead of most ordinary soldiers.
He wanted to go into battle to kill the enemy and defend his country, and he wanted to wash away the filth on his body with the blood of the enemy soldiers.
If he achieves success and fame, he can repay his adoptive mother's kindness, and even if he dies on the battlefield, he can proudly say that he lived like a man.
Even if he could keep his identity a secret from everyone, he still couldn't get over the hurdle in his own heart.
Male prostitutes are lowly, heroes are glorious.
If there's anything that could earn his genuine respect, it would be the merit of saving the people of the Great Jin Dynasty.
Jiang Xinyu highly affirmed Wang Huan's idea. While writing a letter to Xiao Yuan asking him to help find an expert who understood military affairs, she also picked up her calligraphy brush.
How many of the 36 Stratagems were there again?
Which Sun Tzu wrote The Art of War?
What exactly are the contents of the Six Secret Teachings and Three Strategies?
She seems to have only a superficial understanding of the military strategists' treasures accumulated over five thousand years of Chinese history, such as tunnel warfare, landmine warfare, Zhuge Liang's fire attack, and Jia Xu's poisonous schemes.
But it's okay, standing on the shoulders of giants allows you to see further.
Some things are just a thin layer of paper; once you break through it, everything becomes clear.
A problem that even elementary school students can solve if they know the formula might stump a group of mathematicians if they don't.
Jiang Xinyu locked herself in her room for a whole day, racking her brains to search through her memories, and finally compiled a hodgepodge version of military strategy.
Whether it's useful or not, it's always good to learn more skills; you never know when one of them might come in handy.
The grenade has been successfully tested, and she has also taught Wang Huan how to make it.
However, he was also instructed not to take this out until he was promoted to a certain position.
There are factions in the military too.
Going there and starting as a lowly soldier, bravely fighting the enemy was just the first step in integrating into the group.
The second step is to understand the distribution of power in the military and the temperament of each general, and then choose a suitable one to serve.
Birds fly far away with phoenixes and luan birds.
There's no need to seek any empty fame. As long as the person you're relying on isn't an ungrateful, jealous, or treacherous person, you can use any good strategies you have on him.
The nail that sticks out gets hammered down; it's not a good thing to be greedy for quick success when your foundation is unstable.
The same merit might be worth ten points of military merit on you, but it might be worth a hundred points on someone else. It's safer for them to promote you than for you to try to stand out on your own.
Jiang Xinyu, though young, was quite shrewd. Wang Huan listened attentively and memorized the military treatise and the formula for the thunder and fire bomb day and night, daring not to slack off in the slightest.
Ten days had passed since they arrived at the manor. Jiang Xinyu's horsemanship and archery skills were already quite good. Xiao Yuan was unwilling to let her linger any longer and took her back to the Governor's Mansion.
Wang Huan didn't leave. Since he wanted to go to the battlefield, he needed to train more. Staying at the manor would also be more convenient.
Xiao Yuan was quite pleased with his sensible nature, and also wanted to show his wife his abilities, so he specially wrote him a letter as a pledge of loyalty.
Xu Zuyin, the garrison commander of Beirong Pass, owed him a favor, so Wang Huan's visit to him was a way of ensuring his safety.
After returning to Beijing, the couple resumed their shameless lifestyle. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and Supervisor Xiao was in high spirits, full of energy every day.
After her aunt left, Jiang Xinyu became too lazy to go out anymore, but she became more and more enthusiastic about practicing martial arts.
Power may be lost, money may be gone, even feelings may change, only the skills you acquire are truly valuable.
Even if she was oblivious to what was happening around her, she knew that the struggle for the throne had become increasingly fierce in recent years.
If the original plot is indeed powerful enough to make the Third Prince become Emperor, then the couple will definitely have to live a different life.
She believed that Xiao Yuan would make arrangements to protect her, but she also wanted to have the ability to protect Xiao Yuan.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and the two foreigners who went to Jiangnan with my aunt had returned, bringing firsthand news and my aunt's reply.
Since ancient times, tropes have been popular. Soap operas aren't all made up; there are many absurd and dramatic life stories that are even more exciting than fiction.
Jiang Xinyu had accurately predicted the Zhang family's inherent flaws, and Zhang Yao's cunning wasn't much better.
The young man volunteered to go to the dock to pick up his cousin, claiming it was to apologize to his cousin and atone for their parents' sins, but in reality, he was mocking and showing off his status in the Zhang family.
In short, it all boils down to one thing: you shouldn't have come back; your family hates you; someone as disgusting as you doesn't deserve to be in the Zhang family.
Unfortunately, he didn't expect that the person opposite him was not Zhang Yu, who grew up in Nanfeng Pavilion, but a skilled spy from the Eastern Depot.
Fanzi perfectly portrayed the character who was heartbroken by his loved ones, silently walking back to the cabin, leaving behind a suicide note, and then jumping into the canal in front of everyone.
Zhang Yao was dumbfounded. The servants who had come with him also did not expect that the lost young master would be so fierce.
Madam Wang pretended to call out twice, then put away her suicide note and headed straight for the Zhang family. Zhang Yao dared not stop her and could only order his men to quickly go into the water to retrieve it.
No matter how bad Zhang Yu is, he is still his aunt's own son. If he dies like this, he will have no way to explain it.
Those spies were excellent swimmers and had already swum far away, so Zhang Yao naturally couldn't retrieve them.
When Madam Zhang heard what had happened, she was stunned. After reading the suicide note, she coughed up blood and fainted.
Zhang Yu's older brother, sister-in-law, and sister didn't have high expectations for their tainted younger brother's return.
But now that his younger brother was at his doorstep, he was driven to suicide without even seeing him, and all the forgotten sibling affection was suddenly rekindled.
The servants who had served Zhang Yao in the past were, after all, members of the eldest branch of the Zhang family, and no matter how much they favored their nephew, they dared not conceal anything from him.
Zhang Yao's verbal insults drove Zhang Yu to his death, instantly erasing all the affection he had accumulated over the years.
Mrs. Zhang was practically going crazy, venting all her regret and anger on Zhang Yao's family.
After reading the message, Jiang Xinyu sent it to the manor, where Wang Huan got extremely drunk.
Three days later, he came to say goodbye, carrying the letter given to him by Xiao Yuan, and left the capital alone on horseback for the northern frontier.
Nanshan Temple.
Consort Jin's cloudy eyes finally closed, and Xu Qinglan sighed softly as she gazed in the direction of the capital.
