Chapter 273 wrote a letter to his cousin, which became the fuse for destroying Xiliang!
Because the food to the Northeast had already been sent out, only after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month would his father personally deliver food to Qin Beiyu in the Northwest. Tonight, when Shen Ruyi couldn't sleep, he sat in front of the desk in the space and decided to write a letter to his cousin.
"Cousin, I am writing to you!
I am very happy to inform you, cousin, that you have become a father and our children are born. Although they were born without your knowledge, I know you will love them, right?
This war has been protracted and has consumed too much food and supplies. I believe you are also undergoing tremendous tests there!
Cousin, I think now that you have food and grass, you should fight quickly and end the war as soon as possible! Ending the disaster of the people of both countries is the top priority and it is also imminent.
I also know that we can't act too hastily. I just hope to end this war so that the people of Daqin and Xiliang can return to a peaceful life. Post-disaster reconstruction is the wish of every country and every citizen!
Cousin, if the royal family of Xiliang has no intention of surrendering, then it would be better to kill one to warn the rest. Sometimes the method of deterrence is actually very useful!
I won't say anything else. You should finish the battle as soon as possible. Don't come back too late. Otherwise, you will miss the growth process of the children, which is irreparable!"
It is conceivable that when Qin Beiyu received this letter, it became the fuse for the destruction of the Western Liang Kingdom!
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Wei Zhendong did nothing but accompany his daughter and grandson and granddaughter. He and Jiusheng worked together to make lanterns for the two children, which made the two little ones very happy!
Shen Ruyi and the maids made Yuanxiao (Chinese rice dumplings). She didn't buy much ingredients, but it was enough for everyone in the courtyard to have a bowl. The servants and guards couldn't have Yuanxiao (Chinese rice dumplings), so she could only make dumplings for them. She had plenty of flour from the farm, as well as cabbage and radishes, but not much meat. The few pigs she raised were slaughtered during the Chinese New Year, so she could only use the lard from the pigs she slaughtered, and made steamed dumplings with the cabbage and radishes, giving several hundred people a good meal!
Dumplings in those days could not be boiled in a pot and were basically steamed, so everyone was very happy when they got ten or eight dumplings each!
At dinner time, Shen Ruyi took the children to have a reunion dinner with Wei Zhendong and Jiusheng.
Normally Jiusheng didn't eat with Shen Ruyi and her son. He adhered to his duties and always waited outside the house when the children and Shen Ruyi were eating. But today was a holiday and Wei Zhendong was still there, so he made an exception and ate with them.
Xiao Pingping and Xiao Anan were dancing with joy because they had two elders to eat with. Shen Ruyi used a small spoon to cut the Yuanxiao into pieces and fed each of them three or four Yuanxiao.
Xiao Pingping can eat sweet things. He had eaten four Yuanxiao and wanted more. Shen Ruyi was worried that he would have a bloated stomach and refused to give him any.
The little guy lost his temper, stretched his neck and started crying and shouting: I want Qiqi... I want Qiqi...
Wei Zhendong and Jiusheng said with concern, "Give the child two more. He hasn’t eaten enough. An An eats little, but Ping Ping has a big appetite. How can he eat enough?"
Shen Ruyi had no choice but to give her son two more. But two was not enough and the little boy insisted on eating two more. This time Shen Ruyi refused to give him any more, even if he cried.
Wei Zhendong felt sorry for his grandson, so he secretly gave the child two more Yuanxiao from his own bowl, and promised to take the child for a walk after he was full to help digest the food. Shen Ruyi was a little helpless, as her son never knew whether he was hungry or full when eating, and it was easy for him to get bloated. But as a father loved his child, she didn't want her mother to get angry.
As a result, Xiao Pingping ate too much. When he was going to bed at night, the child complained of stomachache. Shen Ruyi touched her son's stomach and found it was still hard.
Old man Jin and two imperial doctors were called in, and they took turns examining the child. They discovered that the child had a bloated stomach due to eating too much!
Wei Zhendong felt distressed and helpless. He could only walk around with the child in his arms, comforting his grandson who was feeling uncomfortable.
Shen Ruyi coaxed her little daughter to sleep, then left the house and came to the main room.
"Daddy, it's okay, you don't have to feel guilty. This child doesn't know when he's hungry or full when he eats now. Sometimes he eats too much. Otherwise, how can you control his food intake?
It's okay. Mr. Jin has made some medicinal soup for him. I'll feed him some later and then take him for a walk. He'll be fine after he digests it.
You and Uncle Jiusheng should go and have a rest. Tomorrow you may have to prepare to transport food and fodder to my cousin.
Dad, could you please take this letter to my cousin? Are you going to stay there to help?"
Wei Zhendong nodded and said, "Ruyi, now that Daddy is here and has seen you and the children, and has given you the gifts that His Majesty brought for the children, I want to help your cousins today after spending the holiday with you and your children.
Your cousin is the only child of the royal family and is worth a lot of money. Daddy is worried!
That Xiliang dog has been fighting with your cousin for so long. I'm afraid your cousin will get anxious and fall into their trap.
Daddy is going there to help your cousin deal with the Xiliang guys. His Majesty means that since they dared to fight against the Qin Dynasty so rampantly for so long, they must be taken down in one fell swoop and Xiliang must become the territory of the Qin Dynasty, otherwise they may revive in the future.
Alas! Recovering Xiliang as soon as possible can also save some food and grass. After the war, our Great Qin’s food can no longer be so tight..."
Shen Ruyi nodded and took the child. Her son's big head rested on her shoulder, humming, obviously feeling very uncomfortable.
Shen Ruyi walked around for a while holding her chubby son, and then Old Man Jin came over with the bowl of medicine.
The old man smiled and said, "Oh, ma'am, the spring water you gave me is absolutely amazing. The medicinal soup made from it has a refreshing fragrance!
Xiao Pingping, listen to Grandpa Jin and drink this medicine soup. Your stomachache will go away after you finish drinking it. Really... this medicine soup is sweet."
The little boy refused to take the medicine, and kept yelling that he didn't want it. He hugged his mother's neck, nudged her with his big head, and shouted that his stomach hurt...
Shen Ruyi was also helpless. She and Old Man Jin coaxed and deceived her son and finally got him to drink the medicine. The little guy stretched his neck and cried incessantly.
Wei Zhendong felt extremely distressed, and quickly snatched his grandson away, holding him and pacing back and forth in the room to coax him!
Shen Ruyi sighed: "Alas! People say that generations apart are close to each other, it seems to be true, I have never seen Daddy be so patient in coaxing Wanqian!"
Wei Zhendong said unsatisfiedly: "Isn't my grandson small? Poor boy, Wanqian is such a tough kid..."
Phew…hahahaha…
In the middle of the night, the little guy finally felt more comfortable and fell asleep, so Shen Ruyi carried the child into the inner room.
Wei Zhendong and Jiusheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, and they went back to their room to rest.
The next day, Shen Ruyi and the children slept until they woke up naturally. The children were full of energy again. She heard that her father and uncle Jiusheng had already started loading the truck.
This afternoon they were going to transport grain and fodder to Changzhou Prefecture. After being busy all afternoon, Wei Zhendong had lunch with his daughter and children, then took the lead in escorting the grain and fodder out of Jubao Garden. The children were a little disappointed because their outsiders were missing!
As expected, Wei Zhendong led his men to travel day and night. Fortunately, the snow was heavy only in Qiongzhou Prefecture, and there was not much snow on the roads in other places, so Wei Zhendong arrived in Changzhou Prefecture seven days later!
After Wei Zhendong led his men to transport food and fodder into Changzhou Prefecture, Wei Wanshan and Qin Beiyu were stunned when they received the news!
The two commanders personally came out of the military camp and took Wei Zhendong into the camp. Seeing his nephew and son, Wei Zhendong was very happy.
"These are the grains and vegetables grown by Ruyi's family. Wanshan, please arrange for someone to unload the truck. The vegetables are all packed tightly!"
As Wei Zhendong was speaking, he reached out and took out a letter from his arms. Qin Beiyu saw the words on the letter and snatched it away!
"Uncle, this is a letter from Ruyi! Hehehe... Wanshan, you entertain uncle first..."
Wei Zhendong and his son couldn't help laughing when they saw Qin Beiyu holding the letter, turning around and walking away with big strides.
Qin Beiyu rushed into the central army tent and excitedly opened the letter sent by his cousin. After opening the letter, he could smell the fragrance of his cousin!
The man read the letter his cousin wrote to him word by word. He grinned with joy. He could imagine that the child his cousin would give birth to would definitely be as cute and beautiful as her.
His cousin wanted him to finish the fight as soon as possible and go home to find her and their child. He understood what she meant! The man's heart surged. Thinking of his cousin and their child, he wanted to grow wings and fly back!
Hmm! It seems that I am not the only one who misses my cousin, my cousin misses me too!
