Chapter 11 - The General Take The Initiative To Be Rob 11
After eating the hazelnuts, Su Moxiu took the others away to go check the situation.
Yan Jingze was left alone to recuperate.
No, not alone, his horse Xiao Hua also stayed with him.
Xiao Hua has been robbing other horses’ food these days, eating til its belly has turned round. Its appearance has not improved but it looked a lot more energetic.
After Su Moxiu and the others left, it kept walking all around the house. It also tried to open the door to go out.
Yan Jingze glanced at it, then got up and opened the door.
He spent money to buy Xiao Hua for three reasons.
First, Xiao Hua is cheap, he could also afford Xiao Hua at that time; Second, he feels that Xiao Hua is pitiful, like him, a dead end hero; Three is…If it was raised properly, Xiao Hua will become a godly horse.
But Xiao Hua never listened to him, it was also very temperamental. If it were not for him not to be trifled with, this guy would have already run away.
Yan Jingze was extremely bored at the time. He once deliberately confronted Xiao Hua, but now that he has found Su Moxiu, he has no interest in confronting Xiao Hua.
“Go!” Yan Jingze waved to Xiao Hua.
Tomorrow Su Moxiu and the others will go back. With his horse running away, he could only ride a horse with Su Moxiu.
It’s more suitable for cultivating feelings.
Xiao Hua glanced at Yan Jingze, then just ran away.
Yan Jingze sent Xiao Hua away, then he lie down and continued his sleep.
This small world is an ordinary ancient world, it can’t hold too much energy, it is also on the verge of collapsing…
His injury can only be healed slowly, even more cautious to avoid any sequelae.
Yan Jingze lay down for a long time, then got up to drink some water and eat some rock sugar, then…he continued to lie down.
It wasn’t until it was completely dark that he heard the sound of hoofs outside. He also sat up.
Su Moxiu came inside with his whole body covered in wind and frost. He was relieved when he saw him: “Jingze, why is Xiao Hua outside?”
When he just came near here, Xiao Hua suddenly chased after him, startling him. He was afraid that Yan Jingze would be frozen outside.
Fortunately, Yan Jingze was lying down in the house.
“Neigh.” Xiao Hua came in from outside, snorting toward Yan Jingze.
Yan Jingze: “…” Xiao Hua, what happened to your stubbornness that you would rather starve to death for freedom? What about your courageous and uncompromising spirit? Did it get eaten?
He’s such a big man, how do he get Su Moxiu to ride with him then?
“Jingze, we caught a litter of rabbits.” Su Moxiu smiled at Yan Jingze, shaking off the snow from his body.
It’s not snowing outside but the wind will carry the snow off the ground, covering them.
“AXiu, you are awesome!” Yan Jingze said.
“I didn’t catch it. It was discovered by mister Cai.” Su Moxiu rubbed his red nose, slightly depressed.
If he caught it, he can ask for more for Yan Jingze to eat and he can accept Yan Jingze’s compliments calmly.
But now, he didn’t find the rabbits at all. It was Cai An who found the rabbit hole in the corner!
The door was pushed open again at this time. Zhang Erque brought the others in. As soon as he came in, he said: “It’s so cold! Second young master, you are running too fast!”
Cai An immediately said: “Don’t be slow and get in the way, bring your horse in. It’s so cold, close the door when you get in!” It’s so cold outside, it would be bad if it chills General Zhou!
Everyone accelerated and entered the house. Cai An began to arrange various things again, then finally said: “Today, just stew the rabbit’s meat first. As for the rabbit head and internal organs or something, we’ll save it for tomorrow morning. Give me more of the rabbit I caught.”
“No problem!” The person, who handled the rabbit, said happily. They didn’t eat anything today, they really should eat better now. Tomorrow, they can go back tomorrow…There will be delicious food in the future, so it doesn’t matter anyway.
Zhang Erque swallowed his saliva. He plans to wait for Cai An and freeload off a piece of meat— Cai An has a small appetite. He is usually very good to speak to, so he should be willing to give him the meat.
The rabbit was dealt with quickly, then chopped up and started simmering.
Cai An suddenly said at this moment: “Let me do it, I will stew this rabbit.”
“Old Cai, are you going to set the fire for cooking?” Zhang Erque, who was lighting the fire, moved his position reluctantly to give the fireplace to Cai An.
Such a cold day, fire is the best!
“No, I will just be the chef.” Said Cai An.
“We have nothing though, chef?” Zhang Erque was puzzled. Then he saw Cai An take out a piece of ginger from his clothes.
“Old Cai, you actually hide ginger in your clothes!” Zhang Erque was depressed. How comfortable it is to have a pot of ginger soup in winter! Old Cai didn’t even take it out before!
Cai An glanced at Zhang Erque. He took the bowl, then threw the rabbit into the pot first.
After that, he took the knife and cut the ginger in his hand in half. Immediately after, he took out a palm-sized flat porcelain bottle from his sleeves.
“What is that?” Zhang Erque asked.
“It’s wine.” Said Cai An.
Zhang Erque: “You still have wine! Hold on, you don’t drink wine though?!”
Cai An glanced at Zhang Erque but didn’t say anything.
“Why didn’t you take it out before?” Zhang Erque was depressed.
“Take it out for you to drink it in one gulp?” Cai An sneered.
Wine can warm the body. They actually brought a lot with them when they came out, but when they were on the grassland before, it was all drunk by Zhang Erque and the others.
He doesn’t like to drink so he didn’t even take a sip back then, but he also didn’t take out his own wine for the others to drink too.
Cai An opened the cork and poured the wine into the pot.
“You actually used wine to stew rabbit! Such a waste!” Zhang Erque’s eyes turned red.
Cai An put away the bottle: “I’m happy to do it.”
Zhang Erque looked at the pot of rabbit meat. He couldn’t wait to scoop up a spoonful of wine-flavored soup to drink now.
Cai An ignored him and started to add salt.
He doesn’t really have any cooking skills, but he believed that the rabbit meat he stewed is definitely better than the one others made!
Thinking so, Cai An also cleaned the other pot and added the remaining sliced ginger to make soup.
Rabbit meat will take a while before ready, but the ginger soup will be ready in no time.
Cai An filled two bowls and bring it to Yan Jingze and Su Moxiu: “Second young master, mister Yan, have some ginger soup!”
Su Moxiu glanced at Cai An suspiciously, then he saw Cai An smiling gently to Yan Jingze: “Mister Yan, I’ll take a look at your pulse again?”
Su Moxiu: “…” Cai An’s eyes when looking at Yan Jingze are really not right! But he couldn’t do anything besides let Cai An check Yan Jingze’s pulse…
Su Moxiu could only get out of the way and stared at Cai An.
“Mister Yan, your body is much better now!” Cai An didn’t notice Su Moxiu’s expression, he was simply happy for Yan Jingze, “You drink the ginger soup first, then eat more, and have a good night’s sleep after finishing a bowl of medicine…”
Su Moxiu: “…” All of them are ‘you1Cai An use a very polite/courteous you (您)’!
“Old Cai, what’s the matter with you! I’m not used to you talking like that!” Zhang Erque shouted.
“Is it any of your business how I speak?” Said Cai An. After he finished speaking, he saw Su Moxiu looking at him warily.
He is very relieved!
General Zhou didn’t like the wrong person!
Second young master Su wholeheartedly devoted to General Zhou!
Cai An said: “Second young master, you two are truly a natural match! I wish you and mister Yan to live a long and happy life together, growing old together!”
Su Moxiu was a little confused.
Cai An’s change is too big, right?
Could it be that he secretly planned something?
Su Moxiu knew that Yan Jingze was very outstanding. This morning, he had a simple chat with Yan Jingze. He discovered at once that Yan Jingze knew astronomy above and geography below. He seems to know everything, scholarly knowledge is even beneath him.
But with just knowledge, can it really make Cai An attach such importance to him like this?
The officials sent to them by the imperial court are not lacking in jinshi2The final imperial exam-born. He didn’t see Cai An being so respectful to those people.
Su Moxiu is suspicious, and Zhang Erque was also puzzled.
Zhang Erque scratched his hair, with dust in his hand and seeing his scalp fluttering down, he suddenly thought of a possibility.
Cai An said before that he will persuade Yan Jingze to take the initiative to leave, did Yan Jingze agree? Is that why Cai An is trying to compensate him?
The more Zhang Erque thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case.
Thus, he didn’t reject Yan Jingze either. He also spoke to Yan Jingze again: “Yan Jingze, is there anyone else in your family?”
Yan Jingze answered: “There is.”
“That’s good……Your family must miss you.” Zhang Erque said.
“Yes.” Answered Yan Jingze. The original owner’s family is not bad, it’s just that the original owner has been staying at the border so he isn’t that close with his family.
“You read books, you are literate, even if you are not a soldier, you should be fine…” Zhang Erque rambled and continued: “It’s just you must have the ambition to improve yourself…”
Yan Jingze turned a deaf ear to him and put the rock sugar into the two bowls of ginger soup.
Su Moxiu hurriedly said: “I don’t need it.”
Yan Jingze replied: “Need. You are so sweet, how could you not eat sugar?”
Su Moxiu couldn’t react in time. He’s…sweet?
“If you don’t drink, I won’t drink it either.” Yan Jingze said again.
Yan Jingze is so concerned about him…Su Moxiu picked up the bowl of ginger soup. The atmosphere between the two became sticky again.
Zhang Erque, who was trying to make Yan Jingze into a self-reliant person, couldn’t help but say: “Fuck!”
Zhang Erque felt a little aggrieved at being ignored.
After he saw that the rabbit meat was ready, Cai An gave his extra bowl of meat to Su Moxiu and Yan Jingze and Su Moxiu fed it to Yan Jingze, he felt even more aggrieved.
Today’s rabbit meat is much better than the previous days but in the end, he didn’t get to eat much. On the other hand, Yan Jingze ate one more bowl…
Why!
Zhang Erque, who was aggrieved in his heart, saw Cai An go out to solve his physical need and quickly follow out.
Then……Cai An have just take off his trouser sash when Zhang Erque suddenly patted his shoulder: “Old Cai, what the hell is going on with you today?”
Cai An shivered, almost urinated on his feet: “What are you doing!”
Zhang Erque said: “What am I doing, I have something to ask you. Why are you so nice to that Yan Jingze?”
“He is very knowledgeable, the only one I’ve seen in my life.” Said Cai An.
Zhang Erque: “That sounds a little familiar.”
Cai An added: “Mister Yan is very capable. You will be nice to him in the future.”
“I don’t want to listen to those words. Did we treat him badly? Isn’t he just always eating and drinking! He eats more than I do! Why! Old Cai, you are so kind to him today, has he agreed to leave second young master?” Zhang Erque asked while also taking off his sash on the side.
“Erque, don’t be a busybody in the future!” Cai An glared at Zhang Erque. He accidentally saw such an irritating eye scene and quickly left.
Su Moxiu stood not far away, standing still until Zhang Erque was gone for a while before he went back.
Cai An wants Yan Jingze to leave?
Yan Jingze, did he agree?
Su Moxiu returned to the room and happened to see Yan Jingze’s smiling face.
Su Moxiu took a few steps to Yan Jingze’s side and said: “Have I told you before? I already have a juren status!”
“Cai An mentioned it.”
Su Moxiu narrowed his eyes: “I really like you. I can also feed you too. When we go back, I’ll get a job and move out…We’ll live together?” He originally planned to go to the capital to take the jinshi exam but since he has decided to be with Yan Jingze, this is good.
“Okay.” Yan Jingze smiled and agreed.
What had Cai An said? Su Moxiu probably knew. He also promised Yan Jingze: “Don’t worry, my father can’t control me. I will definitely protect you.”
“I’ll take care of you too.” Yan Jingze looked at Su Moxiu and smiled again, “Cai An asked me to leave you before but I didn’t agree.”
Su Moxiu chased after Cai An and Zhang Erque out, he guessed that he must have heard something…It better for him to just tell him.
Su Moxiu was relieved.
Yan Jingze added: “I’m so obedient like this…shouldn’t you give me a kiss?”
Su Moxiu: “!!!” Will this be too fast?
However, before he could react, Yan Jingze had already covered their head with the sheepskin and kissed him…
T/N: Ahhhh I like that they’re so upfront about things that could cause misunderstanding in their relationship.
