When I was leaving the camp, I happened to meet Sima Hui. Sima Hui saw He Changdi walking quickly leading the horse, with the corners of his mouth curled up, and just as he was about to say hello, He Sanlang walked past her by mistake.
Sima Hui's hands froze in the air, her expression embarrassed.
Unspeakably disappointed in her heart, she returned to the frontier camp with a gloomy face, and went to the commander's tent to recover. As soon as she came out, Sima Hui saw the adjutant Xiaoyan waiting outside the tent with two female soldiers.
Xiaoyan's complexion was not good, her cheeks were flushed from the cold and her eyes were red and swollen. Sima Hui's expression changed when she saw this, "What's wrong?"
Xiaoyan lowered her head and bit her lips without speaking, but it made people feel that she was even more wronged.
In the end, the two female soldiers behind her couldn't hold back anymore, and said aggrievedly: "General, you have to make decisions for Sister Xiaoyan and her subordinates."
Sima Hui took a deep breath, suppressed her anger and said, "Go back to the camp with me first."
The three girls answered obediently, and followed Sima Hui back to the camp quickly.
After Sima Hui heard the cause and effect, she raised her head to look at Xiaoyan in front of her, before speaking for a while, "Xiaoyan, come and tell me if what they said is true?"
The female adjutant Xiaoyan didn't know what was going on, the general's voice was as gentle as usual, but there was a feeling of shock in her heart.
She glanced at Sima Hui carefully, and finally gritted her teeth and nodded, "Miss, what they said is right, Mr. Jin Yixiang really didn't pay attention to you, and deliberately made things difficult for the servants, because of the relationship between Xiaowei He, she might be right. You have prejudices."
How many times has the young lady defended her every time, Xiaoyan believes that this time is no exception, as long as the young lady has the mind to fight for her, and she is beside her to make suggestions, is she afraid that she won't be able to snatch a little Captain He
Xiaoyan is full of confidence, but she still overestimates herself.
Disappointment flashed across Sima Hui's eyes, she paused, and finally said softly: "Xiaoyan, go and receive the punishment yourself, I don't need you to serve me in the future, and I will replace Xiaoju."
Since Sima Hui was able to achieve the position of general at a young age, she is naturally not a really confused person.
Not to mention that when General Sima was alive, he taught her almost hand in hand, and later she worked in the army for four or five years. Sometimes connivance has become a habit, after all, Xiaoyan is the maid who grew up with her, but once some things touch her bottom line, Sima Hui will never relent.
Xiaoyan thought that she could pretend to be a tiger. Even if the young lady who had been serving her for many years knew the truth, she would see that the big things would be minimized because of the many years of love. Even if it was just a few verbal warnings, she never expected that the young lady would directly transfer her away from her side. , this punishment is undoubtedly more serious than beating her with dozens of army sticks.
Her previous composure completely disappeared, and she became panicked in an instant, "Miss, what did this servant do to make you unhappy, you can just punish this servant directly, don't drive this servant away! The old general is gone, and you are the only master of this servant !"
This time Sima Hui was unmoved, she immediately waved her hand, and the two female guards around her gagged Xiaoyan's mouth and dragged her down.
As for the remaining two female soldiers, seeing Xiaoyan's fate, how could they dare to say a word, bowed their heads and knelt tremblingly, and cried and begged for mercy without Sima Hui asking: "General, what happened today is a small matter." What Sister Yan arranged for my subordinates was not their idea, so I beg the general to spare my subordinates!"
Sima Hui's heroic face was cold, her brows were furrowed, and her eyes were full of exhaustion and disappointment.
With a wave of his hand, the remaining two women were also taken down. She ordered: "Send these two people to Captain He and let him deal with them."
Quiet in the warm tent, exhausted for days and nights, it should be the time for a sweet and peaceful sleep, but Sima Hui didn't feel sleepy at all, listening to the north wind outside the tent, she felt bitter and helpless in her heart.
In fact, when she just returned to Daying, Xiaoju's people had already told her what happened today, but she didn't expect Xiaoyan to disappoint her.
Sima Hui twitched the corner of her mouth bitterly, Xiaoyan really thought too simply, would the women who can teach them a lesson so quietly be tricked by their clumsy tricks
Before, Xiaowei He went out in such a hurry, maybe he was also chasing the Lord Jinyi.
She was a little curious about what kind of person this Jinyi Township Lord is.
Just as Sima Hui was immersed in her own thoughts, Xiaoju brought food in.
Knowing that the lady was still angry because of Xiaoyan's matter, Xiaoju served her more attentively, "Let's eat, general, you haven't eaten anything since you came back!"
Sima Hui took a deep breath, adjusted her mood and nodded.
She picked up the silver chopsticks on the small table in front of her, and her eyes fell on the food in front of her.
Seeing this, she was taken aback for a moment, and asked strangely, "Why is there no rice today?"
Although Sima Hui's hometown is in Shandong, she likes to eat rice like her mother who was born in a southern water town. If she has the conditions, she seldom eats the staple food made of flour.
On weekdays, her food and clothing in the camp are taken care of by the maid Xiaoju, and she eats rice and porridge for three meals a day, but today there is not a single grain of rice in the dishes in front of her, what's going on
Xiaoju was silent for a moment, but still replied truthfully: "General, the rice we brought this time has already been eaten."
Sima Hui paused, didn't say anything, picked up a piece of pot helmet from the bowl, put it in his mouth and took a bite, and finally swallowed the food in his mouth with plain water.
She glanced at other dishes, a small plate of dark sauce, half a plate of bacon, she put down the pot helmet in her hand, "Do the generals in the camp eat this every day?"
With the lessons learned from Xiaoyan, Xiaoju dared not hide anything from her general.
"Yes, these are taken by the servants from the gang leader. Even the general eats these every day. The dried meat and sauce are because the general is a woman, and the general Qian specially ordered to take care of you."
Sima Hui's brows were frowned, keenly feeling that there was something wrong.
"Except for my subordinates, what do other soldiers in the frontier army eat every day?"
"Soldiers who don't fight, the daily quota is two bowls of bean porridge and one pot helmet. Soldiers on the front line have three meals a day, one meal one pot helmet and one bowl of bean porridge."
Hearing this answer, Sima Hui's eyes widened in surprise, "When did the frontier soldiers start eating bean porridge?"
Xiaoju is obviously much more reliable than Xiaoyan. She has a delicate mind and has already inquired about these news in the camp on weekdays.
"We started to eat bean porridge before we came, but at that time, bean porridge was only a daily meal, and there was some rice porridge in the morning and evening, but since the end of last month, the camp has stopped eating rice at all. The adults who joined the army said that it was to save food for the cold winter .”
Sima Hui was not so innocent, she looked worried, got up and walked to the curtain, stretched out her hand to lift the curtain, a biting cold wind came in from outside the tent immediately, mixed with ice and snow, making people want to shiver.
Store food? How can we wait until winter, to store food in such a cold day, don't we want people to freeze to death
I'm afraid the battalion has already run out of reserves...
