It was late at night, the moon was bright, everything was quiet, the Big Dipper was rising into the sky, and except for the soldiers on duty, all the soldiers in the camp were asleep. Only the lights in the Zhejiang Army's tent were still on. Zhu Ping'an was writing at his desk while deep in thought.
Several pieces of rice paper on the table were already filled with writing. Only one line was visible on the bottom piece of rice paper, which read: "Regulations for the Implementation of the Brave Discipline Formation."
Tomorrow we will begin to implement the Bravery and Discipline Array throughout the army, which is the European-style line-up and shooting tactic. The specific rules and regulations must be drafted in advance so that there will be a general rule to follow, so that we won't be in a panic and mess when the time comes.
Therefore, Zhu Ping'an worked overtime tonight to combine his impression of the queuing and shooting tactics with the actual situation of the Zhejiang Army, and drafted a brave and disciplined formation suitable for the Zhejiang Army. This version is only a draft, and the specific regulations need to be revised while practicing in combination with the actual situation during the process of implementing the brave and disciplined formation.
Of course, Zhu Ping'an did not forget Li Shu. Li Shu was pregnant now, and she needed her husband's care the most. In modern times, it is said that many pregnant women suffer from depression to varying degrees. However, since the Zhejiang Army was really busy, in order not to let Li Shu worry about him and to make her feel good, Zhu Ping'an sent a personal guard to the Zhu Mansion in the town before dusk to deliver a letter, and also brought a handwritten letter from Zhu Ping'an, or a love letter.
Before dusk, the personal guards sent by Zhu Ping'an arrived at the Zhu Mansion and were led to the second gate.
"Haha, it's true that when you mention the devil, he appears. The young lady just kept talking about the uncle, and now he's here. The uncle came earlier than usual today. Eh? Why is there only one soldier? Steward Wang, where is the uncle? Why can't I see him? The young lady is still waiting for him."
Qin'er and Hua'er were originally walking with Li Shu in the yard. When they heard the news, they ran over immediately. When they arrived, they found that there was only one soldier, but no sign of Zhu Ping'an. They could not help but ask in surprise the steward Wang who was leading his personal soldiers to the second gate.
"Miss Hua'er, Miss Qin'er, the son-in-law didn't come, only a military officer came." Manager Wang stepped forward and replied.
"My lady, my master sent me to your mansion to tell you that he will be intensively training the troops in the Zhejiang Army camp these days and will not be back. Please take care of yourself and focus on your pregnancy and don't worry. My master said he will be back in three to five days." The personal soldier bent down and stepped forward, clasped his fists and said to Qin'er and Hua'er.
"Why do you suddenly have to intensify the training? We are so close, it won't take up much of your time."
Qin'er thought about how the young lady had just been talking about her son-in-law, and had even cooked a pot of fish maw, chicken and ginseng soup for him half a day in advance. If the young lady had known that her son-in-law would not only not come back today, but also not come for several days in a row, she would have been very disappointed. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but pouting and muttering softly.
"Yeah, that's right." Huaer nodded.
"Oh, I almost forgot. My uncle asked me to bring this letter to Madam."
As the personal soldier spoke, he took out a sealed piece of plain white letter and handed it to Qin'er and Hua'er with both hands respectfully.
What's the point of sending a letter if the son-in-law doesn't come? The young lady would be so disappointed if she knew...
Now the young lady's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and the young master likes to make trouble in her belly, especially at mealtime. The young lady has had a poor appetite these days, and if she is disappointed and sad, she will have even less appetite.
Qin'er and Hua'er took the letter and went back to report to the young lady with great concern.
"Where's Brother Zhu?"
Li Shu saw Qin'er, Ji Hua'er and others coming back, but didn't see Zhu Ping'an, so she couldn't help but ask.
"Ah, that..." Qin'er and Hua'er looked embarrassed and didn't know how to answer. They wanted to hide it, but they couldn't hide it in the end. But if they said it directly, they were worried that Li Shu would be disappointed and sad, so they had to hesitant.
"Brother Zhu has something to do and can't come back today, right?" Seeing the two people's dilemma, Li Shu understood at once. She put down the pig doll she was sewing with a dull look and said lightly.
This kind of doll was something Zhu Ping'an mentioned casually when he was chatting with Li Shu about toys for babies after they are born. He casually drew a few Q-version doll sketches. Li Shu found them interesting and sewed a doll by herself. It looked cute and adorable.
I was originally planning to wait for Zhu Ping'an to come back and show it to him...
But after learning that Zhu Ping'an would not come back today, Li Shu became uninterested and bored.
The young lady was indeed unhappy. Qin'er and Hua'er looked at each other and couldn't help but feel worried.
"Did Brother Zhu say when he will be back, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?" Li Shu asked again.
"Which one, which one..." Hua'er and Qin'er hesitated again. "You haven't had time to come back these few days?" Li Shu's tone was obviously more disappointed than before, and her emotions were obviously unable to hold back.
"Miss, my son-in-law just sent someone to say that he will be intensively training troops in the camp in the next few days and will not be back. Please take care of yourself and take care of your pregnancy. Don't worry. He will be back in three to five days."
Qin'er and Hua'er had to tell the truth in a low voice and looked at their young lady with worry.
As expected, he saw that his young lady's face was a little disappointed again, and she murmured, "Three or five days..."
I don’t know what’s going on. When I was in the capital before, we were thousands of miles apart and couldn’t see each other for months, but I didn’t miss you like this. But now that we’ve reunited, I can’t bear the longing after just one or two days of not seeing each other…
"Miss, Miss, my son-in-law also sent someone to deliver a handwritten letter." Qin'er said hurriedly.
"Yes, yes." Hua'er nodded repeatedly, and then the two of them handed the letter to Li Shu.
On the envelope were written four big characters: "Dear Shu'er".
Although I don't have any hope, I still hope that the young lady will be less sad after reading the handwritten letter from her brother-in-law.
The two of them couldn't help but pray like this.
"What letter?" Li Shu said indifferently with no expression on her face. She took the letter and glanced at it, without much emotion.
The letter from the son-in-law was useless, just as expected... Seeing this scene, Hua'er and Qin'er couldn't help but feel dejected.
Li Shu tore open the envelope expressionlessly, revealing a piece of letter folded into a heart shape.
It can be seen that the son-in-law is very attentive, and it is folded into a heart shape. Seeing this scene, Huaer and Qiner feel hopeful again, and then look at their young lady, and find that there is not much emotion on her face... ...
It's still useless. No letter is better than the return of son-in-law. Qin'er and Hua'er both understand this in their hearts.
"Son-in-law, what a fool! Training soldiers shouldn't be so urgent. He doesn't even have time to eat. He's so close..."
Qin'er and Hua'er lowered their heads, stood up for their young lady and helped her to express her grievances so that she could feel better.
"Puff..."
An involuntary giggle interrupted the two people's argument.
Qin'er and Hua'er looked up in disbelief. Did they hear it right? The young lady smiled just now, right
In my sight, the young lady has already unfolded the letter and is reading it seriously. Her eyes are bright and sparkling, and her eyes are as charming as silk. The expression on her face has long since melted away the ice and snow. Her face is as delicate as a peach blossom, and the corners of her mouth are curved in a happy arc. She looks back and smiles, full of charm.
"What are you talking about? The country is in crisis right now and Brother Zhu has to train the troops as his main business. So what if he doesn't come for a few days? If love between two people lasts for a long time, why would it matter if we are together day and night?" Li Shu said without raising her head while staring at the letter.
ah
Hua'er and Qin'er were stunned.
What kind of magic medicine did the son-in-law write in his letter that could cure the young lady's lovesickness instantly? !
The two of them came forward curiously.
At the beginning of the letter, there was a Q version of a young lady and her son-in-law. In the picture, the Q version son-in-law was kneeling on one knee to present flowers to the young lady. The picture was so lifelike and cute that no wonder the young lady couldn't help laughing when she saw it.
Looking down, I saw a poem with a special rhythm of long and short sentences written below:
There are three things in this world that I love:
The sun, the moon and you.
The sun is for morning, the moon is for evening, and you are for morning and evening.
