46. ??Chapter 46 Grape Stuffed
The next day, both Ma Hu and Han Wei took leave.
I heard that the sloppy guy would die lying on the bunk after he had been working all night. After all, Han Wei was very powerful, but he was a little weak and his energy was still good.
"I went to ask the old beggar." Lai Er said: "He said that yesterday he was about to dispose of the drugged braised pork, but General Han came and asked if there was anything else to eat, and he happened to see it.
If there is meat, you can scoop it all into the bowl yourself. How dare the old beggar not let him eat it, so..."
"So that's it." Zhuang Wan said, "Forget it, just eat it. Maybe he knew about Careless. Thinking that a thorough investigation of this matter would be of no benefit to anyone, he didn't pursue it."
"That's right." Chen Wujin said: "He must have a guilty conscience that's why he dare not speak out. Whoever asked him to cover up Sloppy deserved it!"
…
Pang Ao came to the outside of Han Wei's barracks leisurely, and he was in a very good mood.
He pushed the door open and went in. Han Wei was lying down reading a book. When he saw him coming in, he just raised his eyes and glanced.
Pang Ao didn't mind either and said with a smile:
"Remembering that it was inconvenient for General Han to get up, Pang came in by himself."
Han Wei said in an unhappy tone: "General Pang came here uninvited, why?"
"I heard that General Han had a stomachache after eating something he shouldn't have eaten. Pang was very worried and brought an antidiarrheal ointment passed down from his ancestors." Pang Ao took out a small porcelain bottle.
"General Han applies this ointment to the affected area. It not only stops diarrhea, but also provides cooling and comfort."
"There is no need to worry about General Pang." Han Wei said: "General Pang's medicine... I can't use it."
Pang Ao put the medicine on the table and said with a smile: "The medicine is good medicine. It is General Han's own business whether to use it or not. However, Pang still advises that people cannot do bad things, otherwise the retribution will be unpleasant."
"Okay, the medicine has been delivered, and it's time for Pang to leave. I hope General Han will recover soon. Without General Han in charge, your soldiers may be even more unscrupulous."
After saying that, Pang Ao turned and left.
Han Wei waved his hand angrily, and the medicine bottle fell to the ground. He was so humiliated by Pang Ao for nothing, and he would not let it go...
Pang Ao came to the school grounds and happened to see Zhuang Wan and others gathering together. He walked over and asked: "You guys... what did you do last night?"
Chen Wujin and the others did not dare to speak. Zhuang Wan heard what he meant and thought that he could not hide this matter. But Pang Ao and Han Wei were different. They were more humane and would not embarrass them even if they knew about it. After all, this matter
It has something to do with Yan Cheng.
"Yes! We did it!" She admitted generously.
Pang Ao didn't expect her to admit it so simply and loudly, as if she felt quite honored.
He quickly looked around and said in a low voice: "You are too courageous, so let's just be careless. Han Wei is the commander-in-chief of the army. If the enemy invades at this time, what crime will you be guilty of!"
"General Han's matter is actually..." Zhuang Wan wanted to explain, but Yan Cheng interrupted her and said, cupping his fists: "General, this matter has nothing to do with Zhuang Wan. It is my fault alone."
"Do you think I'm a fool?" Pang Ao didn't believe it at all: "You have always been calm, how could you act so recklessly!"
He looked at Zhuang Wan and the others: "No matter what, forget it this time and won't do it next time!"
"Yes!" Zhuang Wan said, "Thank you, General!"
While several people were talking, they heard someone say: "General Han is here!"
Not far away, Han Wei walked onto the school field. Although his face was still pale, his steps were steady and his stern and majestic air remained.
Li San and others who had been sitting on the ground to rest quickly stood up, took their swords and guns and went to the school field to practice in a decent manner.
Han Wei walked to the center of the school grounds without squinting, carrying a long gun in his hand, and used the spear technique like the autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves. His movements were smooth and powerful, and he did not look like a sickly person at all.
Everyone present watched and cheered.
"This General Han is really hardworking." Lai Er said.
"Okay!" Pang Ao ordered: "What are you doing while you are resting? Practice quickly."
Everyone: "..."
Xiao Jingchen passed by the school grounds, glanced at the soldiers who were training, and asked, "Have you checked it out?"
"Yes!" Rong Li said: "Han Wei also personally went to the table to remove Ma Hu from the list of people promoted to centurion."
"Since he has won, he naturally wants a reward, just a centurion."
Rong Li nodded: "Then Li Daniu, I think he is a talent."
"He and the man named Zhuang Wan are not identified. We will wait until he has made a contribution."
Speaking of Zhuang Wan, Xiao Jingchen couldn't help but think of that ugly girl again.
He has been in another courtyard these past few days, and he doesn't know if the girl is at peace in the mansion.
The scorching sun shines through the dense grape trellis, and the clusters of purple-red grapes are ripe, exuding a faint sweet fragrance.
But the grapes smelled fragrant, but tasted a little sour. Mu Qiulan had already inquired about it. The grapes and honeydew that King Qi ate every day came from the Western Regions, as well as lychees from Lingnan. Although these grapes were sour,
Fresh but no one cares about it.
Although it doesn't taste good when eaten, it's the best when used to make wine. If it tastes sour, you can add more honey. What's rare is its bright red color and rich aroma, and the wine produced must be very mellow.
She washed the grapes and removed the seeds, added honey, spread them layer by layer in the jar, and sealed it with yellow mud. Within half a month, the wine was ready.
Xiao Jingchen looked at the girl under the grape trellis with a smile and gently held the bunches of grapes, as tenderly as she was treating a newborn baby. The joy on her face was something he had never seen before.
It seemed that she was happy in whatever she did without having to face him.
Is he so scary?
"My lord, would you like..." Feng Cheng on the side wanted to ask Mu Qiulan to wait on him, but Xiao Jingchen waved his hand: "Please step aside first!"
"Yes!" Feng Cheng exited the yard.
The cicadas were chirping noisily, and Xiao Jingchen, who was standing under the sun, walked into the shade.
Mu Qiulan was unaware that there was someone next to her. She was holding a honey pot and spooning amber honey into the jar, strictly controlling the ratio of grapes to honey.
"What are you doing?"
The sudden sound frightened her and she loosened her grip. The honey jar fell into the jar containing grapes, and all the honey inside spilled out.
She looked up and saw Xiao Jingchen quickly stood up and saluted: "I've met the prince!"
Xiao Jingchen walked over and looked into the altar, "What is this?"
"Your servant... your servant is making wine!" Mu Qiulan replied softly.
"Wine? What wine?"
“Grape stuffed!”
Xiao Jingchen had naturally tasted the fine grape wine from the Western Regions, but he didn't know that this girl could actually make Western Regions wine.
"Does it taste good?" he asked.
Mu Qiulan was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Xiao Jingchen to ask such a question, as if he really wanted to try it.
"After half a month, the prince can taste it, but... my servant accidentally put too much honey in it, and I'm afraid it will be a bit sweet."
Xiao Jingchen looked at the honey pot that fell in the jar, reached out to pick it up and put it on the table, then stretched out his fingers and licked it in his mouth, eliciting a smile.
