The female guard Sui He also opened her eyes.

Sui He secretly observed Lu Yan's expression and thought:

Their general is thirty-one years old this year and has been practicing martial arts since he was seven years old.

If he had not practiced martial arts and joined the army, but had chosen to get married and have children like most women, the general's daughter must have been as old as Xu Tianxin.

Has the general ever had any regrets?

Now the general is looking at Xu Tianxin with a softened look. Could it be that he is imagining what it would be like to have a daughter?

Yes, she guessed, it must be the same as Xu Tianxin.

How great.

She is frank and well-behaved, and her every move and smile reveals the agility of a little girl. She will also considerately cover her sleeping mother with a quilt and wipe her hands.

While the mother was sleeping, the daughter, with red lips and white teeth, sat quietly in the house filled with the fragrance of flowers, busy with the chores that belonged to her daughter's family.

Not to mention, at this moment, even Sui He was a little nostalgic for this room.

The window sill was covered with dried petals of various colors, including osmanthus, gardenia, jasmine, honeysuckle, and some types of petals that she could not recognize.

Jars of different sizes were placed on a long table, with labels for toilet water and flower oil on the jars.

There are also two large urns. One urn seems to be soaked in oil and many flowers are soaked in oil. The other large urn seems to be soaked in wine, but there is no smell of wine.

The fragrance in this small room is fragrant. Needless to say, it all comes from the hands of the girl in front of you who is concentrating on scooping up the oil.

However, Suihe said that compared to the scent of flowers, she preferred the orange-scented hand sanitizing liquid that Miss Xu poured for the three of them after going to the hut. After pouring only a little bit from the bamboo tube, it was very sticky, so she used it immediately.

I washed my face with the remaining foam in my hand.

She felt that the smell was so good that it actually aroused her thoughts that even as a woman, she didn't like these things.

Don't know how it is done either.

I heard that the raw material is leftover orange peel, shredded and dried for brewing.

Also, it is impossible for General Jia to place an order in this small mountain village without special skills. It is even less possible for him to call a teenage girl.

At that time, the word "little friend" came out, causing the general to glance sideways at General Jia, as if to scold him: "Are you exaggerating your age?"

Suihe quietly closed his eyes.

In short, she guessed that their general did not continue to catch up on his sleep. He was relaxing in a rare moment and was thinking about his daughter's appearance.

The real thoughts of Lu Yan, who was being speculated by the bodyguard, are:

None.

Unable to substitute.

It's not that they don't look alike, but her daughter won't wear such shabby clothes because she has money.

But it was precisely because Xu Tianxin was dressed in rags that Lu Yan found it rare.

The girl who entertained them in front of them had a rare temperament, which was rare in this village.

At this time, someone knocked on the door.

The old lady knocked on the door first and handed three pairs of mended shoes to her great-granddaughter. She lowered her eyebrows and did not dare to look around. She said in a breathy voice: "There is a man named Hongzao outside who is looking for you."

Xu Tianxin looked at the sky outside and knew that based on time, her first batch of soap bars was about to take shape, and the girls working there were undecided whether to cut them tonight.

Xu Tianxin looked back at the three people on the kang, and Lu Yan quickly closed his eyes.

After closing the door, Lu Yan wondered in his heart, why was he afraid that the little girl would know that he was awake? She was a great general, so she was afraid that she had applied hand oil to a girl? Wasn't it just a matter of applying hand oil?

Sui He and Sui Feng, who had been pretending to be asleep, also turned over, facing away from the door.

These three martial arts practitioners will notice the slightest movement.

Let's put it this way, when Bai Muyan looked in from the window, it was clear that Lu Yan didn't even open his eyes. If he didn't have this vigilance ability, he would have died a thousand and eight hundred times.

Xu Tianxin didn't know that these three people had woken up a long time ago. She was relieved to see that everyone was still sleeping soundly. After extinguishing the flames of the still, she went out to work with peace of mind.

After Xu Tianxin left, Lu Yan sat up, opened the window, and looked outside.

Sui Feng also sat up, sniffed his nose and said, "General, they seem to be stewing fish."

Sui He glared at Sui Feng with disgust, "You know how to eat, are you greedy?"

Suihe asked: "General, do you want to go out and take a look?"

Therefore, Mrs. Xu did not know that everything the villagers did today was seen by the female general.

Lu Yan saw the village's strong laborers washing the war horses.

The man in charge of grooming the horses looked happy and didn't seem to find it hard.

The half-grown boy could only watch with greedy eyes, his eyes showing the desire to go forward and touch the horse, but before he could go forward, he was scolded: "You can't touch it randomly."

There are also some old men gathered around another stable to encourage them: "The big things in life are eating and drinking. Eat, shit, eat more and pull more."

Lu Yan, who was hiding in the dark, looked at Suihe.

Sui He understood immediately and found an accompanying soldier who whispered a few words.

After a while, surprise cheers came from the stable.

Because those half-grown men were allowed to touch the war horses.

Lu Yan left with cheers and went to the cooking place in the distance.

She saw that because they were cooking over an open fire, many women would rub their cold fingers before chopping vegetables.

Warm water was used to clean the horses, and pots of hot water were carried to the stables at all costs. The women used cold water directly at the well to remove fish scales.

In this house, aren’t there enough pots in the house?

Lu Yan heard a woman waving her hands and shouting: "Aunt Xu asked me to add some perilla leaves to the stewed fish. Hurry up and distribute it. It will remove the fishy smell very well. We must make the general and his party eat deliciously, sisters-in-law and brothers."

, use your special skills to prepare a few dishes, and let people know that we, Erdaohe, are also skilled."

The firelight illuminated the faces of the women, who picked up their shovels with great enthusiasm.

Lu Yan saw another winding team coming from the distance.

The first ones to arrive were a few bullock carts, which pulled wooden barrels filled with rice.

Behind the ox cart came villagers carrying quilts on their shoulders.

More villagers were carrying burdens, and the baskets were filled with cabbage, radish, potatoes, sweet potatoes and some dried vegetables.

There are also some men and peasant women carrying jars on their heads.

Suihe came back and told the news:

"General, the jar is filled with pickles.

I heard that the vegetables in the fish stew our group will eat tonight will be different because the villagers gathered them together on their own initiative.

The villagers do it for no other reason than to entertain you and give outsiders the impression that they have a backer. If they are bullied, you will stand behind them.

Isn't this a mutual trade? In Erdaohe Village, the wasteland on the roadside has become valuable and is always being stared at.

The villagers are very uneasy and worried that in the end, if they are busy, powerful people will take over the place and it will be in vain."

After Suihe finished speaking, he was a little angry. He was afraid that the land in his village would be occupied by others. This shows how chaotic the management of this town was before and how many land snakes there were.

When they came, they saw the fight scene, and they knew without asking that the other group was the so-called powerful people who often oppressed the people.

It seemed that before Miss Xu had time to tell the villagers, their general had already sent people to the town.

The results should be available tomorrow.

And the reason why it is tomorrow is because their general specifically asked them to investigate first.

A good official is not afraid of investigation.

What's not good, Suihe thought to himself: It's almost time now and he's already in prison.

After the investigation is completed, it will be posted, along with those minions.

That was the time specially set aside by their general to let the people in the town rush to tell each other that something happened in the town pavilion.

In this way, people who have been oppressed dare to appeal one after another.

After Lu Yan listened, he nodded slightly and turned to leave.

When Lu Yan passed by the house where soap locusts were made, he stopped when he heard the chirping sounds inside.

Look, what is that little girl doing?

Xu Tianxin is cutting soap.

This is the first batch of two thousand soap bars.

To make soap in large quantities, you cannot put it into small boxes or bamboo tubes and mold it like before.

Instead, Xu Tianxin learned from the ancient method of soap making in Syria. After being instructed by family members in the live broadcast room, he directly spread the soap liquid on the ground to dry in the shade.

Xu Tianxin was worried that the stone floor of Wang Yusheng's house was not smooth enough and would easily produce uneven soap locusts. Before pouring the soap liquid, she even laid the floor for the entire room. This is why Xu Laoer kept doing carpentry work but kept looking at her.
