Chapter 252 The Book of War
at night.
Xia Wanniang was still copying the military manual: "Husband, remember to teach these to Zimu."
Xiao Chiye raised his head from reading: "Zi Mu?"
Xia Wanniang put down the brush in her hand and turned to look into his eyes: "He wants to join the army."
Xiao Chiye frowned and said, "If possible, I don't want him to join the army. There are very few generals who can die of old age."
Xia Wanniang sighed: "You should have seen the way he looked at your spear. He even secretly touched the spear shaft. That kind of look of love can't be deceived."
Xiao Chiye nodded heavily: "That's why I don't want him to join the army because I know that."
Xia Wanniang turned to face him: "Are you afraid of the instability of the border and dying on the battlefield?"
Xiao Chiye shook his head: "I'm not afraid of him dying on the battlefield, that would be his honor. What I'm afraid of is that he would die at the hands of those rats."
Xia Wanniang didn't know what to say when she heard this: "My husband, that's his life. Shouldn't he decide what to do in the future? Maybe he won't be interested in it in a few years."
Xiao Chiye looked at Xia Wanniang: "If that's the case, why would you let me teach him the art of war?"
Xia Wanniang shrugged: "It's good to have many skills."
How could Xiao Chiye not understand her: "Since you said so, it seems unreasonable for me not to teach you, but if you want to learn, you have to treat everyone equally."
Xia Wanniang smiled and nodded: "That's right." After that, she picked up the brush and continued copying.
Xiao Chiye withdrew his thoughts and started reading the book in his hand again.
Now only Aunt Xiao and Aunt Xia Wanniang were the most idle people in the family. She took out the food from the space early in the morning and steamed it in the pot.
After saying goodbye to Qingfeng and the others, he took Aunt Xiao and drove the carriage to Luocheng.
Aunt Xiao sat with her in the front of the carriage: "Why haven't you seen Lai Fu recently?"
"Laifu went to the mountains to play. He ran up there after the Lantern Festival. Maybe he had so much fun that he didn't want to come back." Xia Wanniang was not worried about Laifu.
This little guy is very smart. If it were to run away, I'm afraid no animal in the forest would be its match. However, this guy has been away for a long time recently.
It seems I have to go to the forest tomorrow to look for it and make sure it is okay.
The two went to Qing Heyi first. Madam Qi was already waiting for her in the store, but there were two young women behind her. Judging from their intimacy, they should be her daughters-in-law.
"I'm sorry, Madam Qi. I've been so busy lately that I forgot about this."
When Madam Qi saw that Madam Xiao had come with her, she hurried forward to greet her, "Madam Xiao, you are here today too."
Aunt Xiao looked at her and smiled: "I was afraid that she would be alone, so I followed her."
Madam Qi quickly introduced the two people behind her to Xia Wanniang: "These are our two daughters-in-law, Qiu and Luo. This is Madam Xiao whom I told you about."
The two men stepped forward and greeted Xia Wanniang.
Xia Wanniang returned the gift and asked the servants to move the boxes in the carriage upstairs.
Madam Qi led the way: "I have arranged everything according to your instructions. Can you please check if there is anything that needs to be changed?"
When Xia Wanniang went up to the second floor, she saw a screen with "Male Guests" written on one side and "Female Guests" written on the other.
The area behind the screen for men is not large, but both sides of the wall are filled with clothes hangers.
The area for female guests occupies two-thirds of the room, and there is also a fitting room with a full-length mirror, hooks for hanging clothes, stools, etc., which is very thoughtful.
Madam Qi looked at Xia Wanniang and asked, "Do you think there is anything that needs to be changed?"
Xia Wanniang shook her head and said, "It's already very good." She looked at the box that was lifted up and opened it directly.
There are sets of exquisite underwear inside, which can be displayed well when hung on hangers.
Qiu took the underwear from her hand and couldn't let it go: "It's really beautiful."
Xia Wanniang taught them how to hang up the underwear: "These underwear are all sized. You should choose according to the customer's body shape. I have prepared three sets of each size. If they are sold out, just write down the size and come to your house to restock. I will also send new styles occasionally."
She thought for a moment and looked at Mrs. Qi.
Madam Qi felt her scalp tingling when she looked at her: "Madam Xiao, if you have anything to say, just say it. It's creepy to look at me like this."
