Chapter 493
Chu Lixuan returned to the guest room prepared for him in the General's Mansion. The servant had prepared hot water. He took off his armor and put it in the bathtub to wash away the blood.
Then he entered the space. As long as Jiang Xinyan was in the space, he could enter the space anytime and anywhere.
Although Jiang Xinyan did not go into battle to kill the enemy, she was covered in dust and sweat while riding back and forth, so she was soaking in a hot spring.
"Husband, you must be tired. Come in quickly and soak in the hot spring for a while. I will get you some food."
Chu Lixuan was hungry, but he didn't want to eat yet, so he jumped into the hot spring pool and hugged his little wife without letting go, burying his face in her neck.
Jiang Xinyan felt sorry for Chu Lixuan's experience. His insecure and cold personality must have been the shadow left behind by going into battle to kill the enemy as a young boy.
No one is born with a cold personality. They can only become like this if they live in an unwarm family or suffer some hardships in childhood.
As far as Jiang Xinyan knew, Chu Lixuan's childhood was still okay. It was probably because he went to the battlefield at a young age and was not appeased when he killed the enemy for the first time, leaving behind sequelae.
Overflowing with motherly love, Jiang Xinyan hugged his narrow waist with her backhand, which encouraged Chu Lixuan. His eyes were shining with hot light and indescribable excitement and excitement.
The arms around her waist couldn't help but tighten, wanting to embed her into his body, lower his head and kiss her fiercely.
Soon, the only sound left in the quiet spatial hot spring pool was his and her increasingly heavy breathing...
Zhao Chengan hurriedly wanted to find Chu Lixuan, but was stopped by the housekeeper on the way, "General, follow your instructions, all the food will be used up, and there will be no food tomorrow morning."
"Don't be afraid. We will send soldiers outside the town early tomorrow morning to pull food. You just do what I ask."
After being interrupted by the housekeeper, Zhao Chengan no longer wanted to go to Chu Lixuan, and he didn't care about this moment anyway.
Zhao Chengan ordered his personal guards to decorate the dining room and use all the stored food to reward the three armies tonight.
The other soldiers were eating and drinking in the barracks, and the generals of fourth rank and above came to the general's mansion to celebrate together, and they were allowed to bring their families with them.
Zhao Chengan went back to his wife to arrange for the wives of the deputy generals, so the banquet could only be held in the garden.
The dining room couldn't accommodate so many people, so the general's wife took the order and went to direct the decoration. Fortunately, this was not a flower appreciation party.
It was just a matter of setting the table for dinner, which didn't take much time. Zhao Qingyun followed her mother and learned how to run a household.
Zhao Qingqing took her three sisters to attend to other matters. The general's mansion was not far from the residences of the lieutenants. Soon, lieutenants and their families gradually entered the general's mansion.
Ever since Chu Lixuan entered the guest room, Xiaotao had been getting close to the boy who was serving Chu Lixuan (Zhao Chengan's personal guard), and they didn't like her.
The servants in the General's Mansion were all born into the family, and Xiao Tao was also born into the family. Her father was the steward of the General's Mansion, and her mother was the dowry maid of the General's second concubine.
Generally, the servants and nurses would give Xiao Tao some face, and the general's wife was kind-hearted and treated her aunt and concubine well.
Therefore, the maids around the young ladies are not usually ostracized in the house.
The boy who helped Chu Lixuan carry the washing water was very familiar to Xiao Tao, and he was the son of one of her father's men.
However, Xiao Tao was not familiar with the personal guard serving Chu Lixuan, so he wanted to get close to him, but it was a pity that the silly boy didn't know how to adapt.
"Big Gouzi, do you know the boy who is serving Mr. Chu?" Xiao Tao asked pretending not to care.
"Sister Xiaotao, that person is the general's personal guard, not a servant. Mr. Chu is the general's distinguished guest, so he sent his personal guard to wait on you and does not want us to come into the house to wait on him."
Dagouzi scratched his head and didn't know why. He always answered Xiaotao's questions and never encountered anything bad.
"I see that you just picked up the hot water and were carried in by that person without even entering the room. So you don't have a chance to show off in front of Mr. Chu."
Da Gouzi didn't hide anything from Xiao Tao, and he had no sense of precaution. "He is the general's personal guard. As a slave, I must listen to him."
"That's unreasonable. He's obviously trying to steal your credit. Mr. Chu doesn't even know that you're the one who worked so hard to carry the water." Xiao Tao helped the big dog fight the injustice.
"Hehe, it's okay. Mr. Chu looks very scary. I don't dare approach him. It's best to carry him in."
"You! You are just stupid. Do you know who Mr. Chu is? He is the Marquis of Zhennan." Xiao Tao said proudly.
"That's it." What does the Marquis care about me? The big dog didn't dare to offend Xiao Tao, so he could only say three words dryly.
"Idiot, after you hook up with the Marquis, you will have the opportunity to serve him closely. Won't you be brilliant in the future?" Xiao Tao said with hatred.
"Hey, then I'll follow Master Chu with the bodyguard later." That's not what Big Gouzi had in mind.
He didn't want to go in and serve that devil. The air-conditioning around him could freeze someone to death even on this May day, and the big dog didn't want to leave his parents.
He didn't want to leave the General's Mansion and just stay as a servant in the General's Mansion for the rest of his life, supporting his parents until he grew old. Wouldn't that be a good idea?
"Then follow me closely later and let me know when you get some water for washing or when you bring tea or water.
I will give you the good tea that the young lady drank to please Mr. Chu. When Mr. Chu is happy, he will take you to serve him." Xiao Tao ordered the big dog like a close sister.
"Okay, don't worry, Sister Xiaotao, I'll come find you when I deliver tea again." Humph! I won't tell you!
I don’t want Mr. Chu to like me. Being with Mr. Chu, my God! Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps all over my body and scares the slave to death.
Xiaotao thought she had a handle on Dagouzi, but in fact Dagouzi and her were not on the same page. Xiaotao taught Loneliness, but she didn't know it.
Xiao Tao rowed back to Zhao Qingqing with cheerful steps, "Miss, the arrangements have been made over there. We will act as planned after dinner."
"Xiao Tao, if I am with Mr. Chu for no reason, I will always be just a concubine." Zhao Qingqing said in a low voice.
"Then does the young lady have a better idea?" It would be better if the young lady does not become a concubine. If the young lady is just a concubine, then what is her little peach?
"My father invited all the generals to the house tonight for dinner. Didn't my father have an effective lieutenant, Li Chengdao, who was outstanding in ability, but because of his ugly appearance, his mother-in-law despised him and was beaten to death by him."
"What did the lady say Li Chengdao was doing?" Xiao Tao asked confused.
"Don't Mr. Chu have a wife who is a convict? If we pair that convict with Li Chengdao...then wouldn't this young lady be able to be Mr. Chu's official wife?"
"Yes, Miss is really smart as ice and snow. This is a great idea." Xiao Tao slapped Rainbow Fart.
