Xue Ronghua chuckled at her worry, although she had fallen into the lake .. Thinking of this, Rong Hua also recalled the situation when he had just arrived at this body.
Dark... A patch of darkness... No light at all.
It was as if he was unconscious, light as a feather, yet it also felt like he was falling down endlessly.
"Is this the Underworld?" she thought.
It was as though a liquid was being poured unceasingly into her facial features, making her unable to breathe.
No, that's not right!
This is in the water.
She quickly reversed her falling body and started to swim upstream.
It was cold.
The bone-piercing waters of the lake enveloped her, and she could only continue swimming upwards.
He finally managed to climb onto the shore. He twisted his wet clothes, but his head was in so much pain that it felt like it was about to split open.
A string of memories were stuffed into her head. She had just realized that she had been reborn?
Before she could think too much, a woman walked over from afar, as if she was waiting for her.
She didn't want anyone to see her current sorry state.
Thus, she began reciting the Soul Search Secret Art — Soul Convergence.
Hiding in a small rock garden, he was barely able to cover his figure.
"Where did second sister go?" The woman said doubtfully, "That little bitch, hmph!"
With that, he twisted his handkerchief and left.
Whoosh.
She sighed and shook her head, walking toward Yuan Su's small pavilion according to her memories. On the way, she avoided many eyes and ears, barely making it back.
However, at night, someone had come to spy on her. She hadn't expected that .. He was also someone who had been reincarnated from the Great Qi!
That was laughable.
"Miss?" Little Zhui called out to her for the third time, and finally woke her up, "What happened to you?"
"Yes." "Yes!" Rong Hua replied softly. He raised his eyes and looked at the withered yellow branches outside. A cold breeze blew past, bringing along a bone-piercing chill as it slashed again and again at Xue Ronghua's face.
"Miss, go back to the fire in the house. Look at your ears, they are red from the cold." Little Zhui could not bear to see Xue Ronghua being frozen, she extended her hand to close the window.
"Not cold."
"Miss .."
"One leaf and one wilted. Life and death will never prosper."
Without waiting for Little Zhui to react, Xue Ronghua turned and walked back into the house.
Little Zhui immediately closed the window, preventing the cold wind from blowing into the frozen room.
He had been lost in thought quite a lot recently, could it be that Yuan Su had been daydreaming a lot recently and had been affected by it?
"Little Zhui." Little Zhui called out lightly as she ran over.
"Do you know the situation in this world?"
Knowing that the young miss wanted to talk about something that she did not understand, she felt bitter and pained inwardly. But in order to cater to the young miss, she also pondered for a moment before daring to reply: "Little Zhui only knows about the large nations with approaching Qin Nation."
"What do you mean?"
"In recent years, the war in the Great Qi has been going on nonstop, hmm .. They should constantly harass their neighbours and want to annex them. I heard that they have an army that is very powerful, with one soldier against ten, and the leading female general is also very fierce. "
Xue Ronghua's pupils shrank, her plain hands inside the warm cushion tightly gripped as well. Her expression was still fluid, as if she was unintentionally continuing with a question: "So it's like that .. Who is that female general?
Although Little Zhui did not understand the method of questioning Miss, she still obediently replied: "Arranging troops in formation is extremely formidable. I heard from someone outside that the female general was like the concubine of the Emperor of Great Qi, born in a general's house.
"Is that so .. "It's not good for her to come .." Xue Ronghua secretly looked at him, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
"Miss, why is your daughter, who has yet to leave the pavilion, so interested in this matter?"
"It's boring if we have nothing to do."
Little Zhui chuckled, "Would a person like Miss be boring? Why don't you allow Little Zhui to make some small pastries for you. Miss, please read some books. "
"Sure." Xue Ronghua rubbed her temples, she was extremely tired.
After Little Zhui added some charcoal and wood to the fire, he went out to prepare some pastries.
Xue Ronghua tore off the thick fox fur on her body and came to the simple little study room alone.
It was also true that most pavilion daughters liked to embroider and fragrance sometimes and liked to paint. When it came to idle chatter, no woman wanted to touch a bit of ink to dirty their clothes, but Xue Ronghua was an exception.
But she wasn't drawing, drawing.
Instead, it was a map!
She drew the routes inside according to how long she had been in the Great Qi. Unfortunately, though she had spent less time in the city, the information she provided was only phoenix Qilin horn, so she spent more time outside of the city.
An important checkpoint?
She smiled. She was familiar with the route, so how could she not know where the loophole lay?
This battle was definitely going to be a win.
After the map was completed, Xue Ronghua began to carefully write down the items that she needed to raise funds for, especially... Sulfur.
In the military, she had accidentally obtained sulfur. Under her curiosity, she mixed another type of powder with sulfur and when ignited, it could even produce a sonic boom?
For this, she paid a jade-like price for her skin.
However, she felt that this discovery was worth it.
If it was mass-produced, then .. Xue Ronghua saw that the bright road to the future was opening towards her.
After the ink had dried, Xue Ronghua took the jewelry box that was only two or three times easier to put away. Who would have thought that such an inconspicuous small box would contain the military secrets of the Great Qi? And it was made by a woman.
Xue Ronghua placed the box in the corner of the wardrobe, thinking about when she could use it.
However, what she lacked the most right now was silver taels!
Although her Prime Minister's Mansion had treated her well on the surface, it was actually just a sugar-coated sight. Her current monthly allowance was not even one third more than Xue Liuhua's.
Heh, what do you mean by 'her fate is good'? King Xian had taken a fancy to her, married her as his concubine, and even the old master, who usually didn't care, had set up a new room for her. However, he didn't know that the room he hadn't used in a long time had been abandoned by Xue Liuhua because he felt that it was a remote place and didn't want to use it.
With such an obvious contrast, how could she know the difference between her and Xue Liuhua? She was also a father, yet she treated him differently. It was hard to tell if she treated him this way on purpose or not.
Xue Ronghua suddenly thought of her Mu Family. At that time, her father had held her in his hands, giving her whatever he wanted, but if he requested too much, he would be scolded loudly. Some people might even beat her up, but her father had treated her really well. Although he was extremely strict in this area, he did not have the children in their 50s or 40s start practicing martial arts. Instead, he instilled his military strategy into her head, slowly penetrating her brain. As for the bigger one, Daddy said, "It's time to start. Ha, this little bone is finally growing." So, he was afraid that this example of a child practicing martial arts would be given to her. The child's bones are very soft, slightly not dangerous, then a twist, if the burden is too heavy, will also be long askew. Father really did think for her at that time, always at the most suitable age to teach her different knowledge, different military tactics, he said, "One must not surrender to the enemy, two must not beat down the hungry wanderers, three must not stand up to the strong and weak." His words lingered in her ears, and the knowledge she taught was still fresh in her mind.
But, Father, I will do as you say, and the people of the world will do me a disservice.
Her mind was filled with countless thoughts. She felt like she was being used again and again. In the end, all of the smoke was burned away and no one cared about her.
By the time Little Zhui returned, Xue Ronghua was already roasting herself beside the fire. The light of the fire illuminated Rong Hua's face, which was bright red like jade.
Little Zhui who was holding onto the tray could not help but be dumbstruck, and stood there in a daze.
Xue Rong felt the gaze, and looked over. It was Little Zhui, that silly girl, who was also cute.
"Didn't Little Zhui say that she wanted to give me some pastries?"
"Yes, yes." Little Zhui quickly regained her senses. Put the tray on the low table for the young lady to eat.
At this moment, the strict female official met many beauties many years later, but they were not even half as beautiful as Xue Ronghua. No matter how strong she was, no matter how much beauty she possessed or how strong her movements were, they were all incomparable.
The pastries were made in the snow. They were as cold as snow on the outside, but they were extremely warm and soft on the mouth.
Xue Ronghua then started to eat the dish, it tasted as delicious as the rumors said.
Little Zhui's mother used to be a pastry master, and the pastry made by her was also a first class one. Little Zhui had gotten used to the fact that the pastry made by her was also top-notch, the bitter and rotten vegetables from before were extremely tasty.
Xue Ronghua thought about it while eating it. Suddenly, she thought of a way to earn money, but... Now, however, the capital was insufficient.
She decided to play around. In the past, marching and fighting was boring for the army, and there were no women to play with, so she played with the things that men loved the most. Of course, there were some who were brave enough to scam Xue Ronghua a lot, but she was still a genius when she was young, and her learning in this field allowed her to scam all the soldiers' pockets, resulting in her being able to scam a lot of the soldiers' pockets until there was nothing left to play around with. Of course, there were also some that were brave enough to scam Xue Ronghua a lot. The soldiers no longer dared to play with it in front of her. Even though she was a woman and the soldiers loved her appearance, they did not dare to profane even the slightest bit of her – who told her to fight!
Thinking about it, she ordered Little Zhui to prepare a set of male clothing, and secretly gave her a small amount of silver, and said: "I do not have any excess money, help me cover tonight, I will go and earn money, and do it in public."
"Do you want to bring Little Zhui along?"
"No, you need to stay here and cover for me. If the second young miss is gone, the first lady and the others will beat me up for this. They will definitely come back tonight."
"This .." Little Zhui hesitated, and thought about whether this plan could work, "Young miss, this servant is worried .."
"Trust me." Xue Ronghua said firmly, "Go quickly."
"Yes."
Xue Ronghua secretly sighed, and quietly took out the remaining few coins, looking at them, she seemed to be able to give her unlimited hope. Of course, it was silver!
Copper coins, oh copper coins, I'm waiting for you to turn the tables.
Little Zhui was quick with her work, and quickly brought the man's clothes back.
Xue Ronghua was so happy that she immediately took off her hair bun and tied up a clean and refreshing bundle with a hair band. Then, she changed her clothes behind the screen and after a while, a slender and gentle man came out from behind the screen, "Little Zhui, what's wrong?"
Her voice was low and gentle, and if one did not hesitate to listen, one would not know that she was a woman.
"Young, young miss?" Little Zhui was extremely surprised, for a moment, she thought that this man was just a delinquent who had barged into her bed.
In the next second, the originally deep and gentle voice became Little Zhui's most familiar voice, "Un. "You can hold on for now."
Xue Ronghua nodded her head, and went out of the window. She walked lightly, and then she wiped away the imprint on the window. When she arrived at the wall, she lightly stepped on the branches at the side, and quickly passed by.
