From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 16

At that moment, An Qi was smiling, as if the big stone on her chest fell to the ground in an instant.Happily picking up the medicine box, he happily said, "Okay, I'll bring it to you tomorrow morning. It's all right, you can rest, I'm going to decoct the medicine."

With a wave of her hand as a response, An Qi left happily.Mei Xin is willing to send him as before to explain that she doesn't blame him, and still treats him like her own brother.

Just as An Qi was leaving, Luo Qiu came in with a bowl of red dates and millet porridge.As he walked, he said, "Major General, Dr. An said that you just woke up and you should drink more porridge. Yun Luo boiled it early in the morning and kept it warm in the pot. It's just right for you to drink."

Picking up the spoon and handing it to Mei Xin, Luo Qiu hesitantly pulled up the quilt for her.

Mei Xin is full of worries and has no appetite, but she has to eat a little for the sake of the child in her belly.Picking up the spoon and gently stirring the porridge in the bowl, she raised her eyelids, looked at Luo Qiu thoughtfully, and said, "Just say what you want to say, don't keep biting your lips. Your lips are not thick in the first place. It might be gone the day you bite it down.”

Usually this is what Mei Xin cares about the most, whenever Mei Xin talks about Luo Qiu, she subconsciously touches her mouth.Feeling the same, she pursed her lips and tilted her head cautiously and said, "Major General, I heard what you said to Dr. An, you must be serious... really want to keep this child?"

Although it is not impossible, but in the end it is unmarried and pregnant. If it is spread, it will damage the reputation firstly, and secondly, how to explain it when the child grows up?
In fact, explaining is secondary, because I am afraid that others will point at the child and make irresponsible remarks.Liangzhou's folk customs are open, and with the prestige of a major general, no one will say anything, and no one dares to say anything, but what about outside Liangzhou City?I am afraid that the title of illegitimate child will never be taken off in this lifetime.

They are all people who died once, Mei Xin doesn't care about reputation.Knowing what Luo Qiu was worried about, she put down the bowl in her hand and said, "Do you think I'm lying?"

Shaking his head and waving his hands, Luoqiu blurted out: "Young General keeps his promises, he will do what he says, and he never tells lies."

This is something that everyone in the Mei family and even the entire Liangzhou City know. No matter whether it is General Mei or General Mei, as long as the general is named Mei, a word is always worth as much as Mount Tai.

"That's it. Since I never tell lies, why should I use this to deceive you. Alright, don't be fooled. I will definitely keep the child. As for the rest, I will talk about it later. By the way, before suppressing Didn’t the bandits share a few boxes of clothing materials and precious stones, where did you take them?” According to the rules in the army, everyone who suppresses the bandits gets a share, and after paying the bulk of the money, everyone else gets their share.

They are all brothers, no one will take more, and because she is a major general, no one dares to lose her share.Besides, there are only a few women like them in the army, and silk, satin, jewels and jade are naturally given to them.Therefore, she has accumulated a lot of private money on and off over the years, but she doesn't remember how much she divided up and where she put her things.

Because Mei Xin doesn't love gold and silver and only knows how to practice martial arts and fight, she never asks about this matter, Luo Qiu was stunned when she first heard it.Feeling that the sun came out from the west today, she stared at her inexplicably and said, "Major General, why do I feel that you are a little strange? It seems that after waking up in the cave, it is different. What is different, it seems... It seems... ..."

Talking to herself and thinking about it carefully, before Luo Qiu could think it through clearly, Mei Xin gave her a slap in the face, and said nonsense in a serious manner: "What's strange, I didn't see that it was cold, so I don't need to make clothes. I remember I had a few dollars last time." Good skin, go back to the city and find it and use it to make clothes for your brother and dad. Liangzhou is so cold, how can you survive the winter without a cloak."

Quickly rubbing his forehead to relieve the pain, Luo Qiu grinned and said, "The cloaks for the Eldest Young Master and the Great General have already been made, didn't you say you would give those pieces of leather to Mrs. Su?"

Speaking of Mrs. Su, Mei Xin recalled the events of her previous life. She remembered that when she first returned to Fuling and entered Prince Liang's Mansion, Shangguan Xinrou stared at her and said that she was shabby and dressed like a beggar.At that time, all the cousins ​​in Prince Liang's mansion were there, and they all laughed at her, saying that she was not as well dressed as the servants in the mansion.

Shabby, begging for money, hehe, if she, her father and brother hadn't bathed in blood and sent money back every year, they still don't know if they can wear clothes.

Not knowing why Mei Xin's face changed all of a sudden, Luo Qiu quickly stood up.Looking at her anxiously, he asked fearfully, "Major General, what's wrong with you, you..."

Before she finished speaking, Mei Xin came back to her senses, waved her hand and said: "It's okay, you and Yun Luo will go back to the city in a while, and first sort out my family's property over the years and register it all. The government helped me choose some good materials to make clothes, as well as those precious stones, and used them for hair. Tell the godmother that I will return to Beijing in a few days, and I will wear the clothes and head hair after returning to Beijing. Let her figure it out .”

"The godmother is a maid who came out of the eldest princess's mansion. She has friends in Beijing. She must know what women in Beijing are wearing now. You can open the warehouse and let her choose. She and Granny Wu protected Liangzhou where I came, and she treats me like her own daughter, if she asks me why I returned to Beijing, it’s okay to speak up.”

She was not good at dressing up when she grew up in the army, and her martial arts practice got in the way, so she was dressed in bunt clothes almost all the year round, or very simple riding clothes.So, it's not that she didn't have those gorgeous brocade clothes, beautiful jewelry and jade, and it's not that General Mei didn't buy them for her, but most of them were thrown away by her at the bottom of the box.

She doesn't like red makeup and loves military uniforms, that's what she is talking about.Disliked in the last life, this life still feels like a hindrance, but if she wants to return to Beijing, she must go with the crowd, or else she will be looked down upon for nothing.

Of course, her main purpose is to let Shangguan Xinrou have a look, to see that without her mother, her father took her well.Silk, satin, pearls, jade and jadeite, she is not inferior to any lady in Beijing.

Originally, Luo Qiu thought she was strange, but hearing it made her even more frightening.With eyes like copper bells, he opened his mouth and asked, "Major General, what are you going to do? Don't you want to enter Beijing with your belly out, then, that lady will go crazy."

Don't you want to go crazy? My wife received her portrait two years ago, and when she saw that she was dressed like a man, she scolded her in the letter.If he went back with a big belly, it wouldn't be cursing, it would be murder.

It's okay not to mention Shangguan Xinrou, but Mei Xin's expression became even more serious when she heard about her.With a cold smile and disdain all over her eyes, she said: "If she likes to be crazy, let her be crazy. If she is crazy, it will save me from doing it."
