61. Chapter 61 Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
"Did you make it?" Yan Cheng looked at the exquisite and beautiful pastries in front of him, feeling a little unbelievable.
He knew Zhuang Wan's cooking skills, or it could be said that she didn't even know how to cook.
"Please, what are you thinking about?" Zhuang Wan said: "Do you think I am a capable person?"
"Mu Qiulan made it."
"Mu Qiulan? Who is it?" Yan Cheng said Mu Qiulan appeared out of nowhere.
"It's A Chou!"
Yan Cheng said "Oh", "So her name is Mu Qiulan, then why is she called A Chou?"
Zhuang Wan: "..."
"Maybe because others think she is ugly!"
"Then do you think she is ugly?" Yan Cheng asked.
"Of course she's not ugly!" Zhuang Wan blurted out.
How could the heroine be ugly! Isn't this nonsense! She remembered that it was because the heroine looked very similar to her biological mother, Ye Shi, and the maid who saved her didn't know what method she used to leave this dark spot on her face.
, otherwise Liu will see it and eradicate it.
When the truth is revealed and the heroine transforms, she will become a heavenly being.
But this day is still far away. Zhuang Wan remembers that it is almost the end. Therefore, the male protagonist fell in love with A Chou at first. As for the heroine becoming beautiful later, it was purely an accident.
Only in novels can such a powerful, rich and handsome man have a special affection for an ugly girl.
"Then do you think she is ugly?" Zhuang Wan asked Yan Cheng.
Yan Cheng smiled and said: "The beauty and ugliness of a person are not in the skin!"
Zhuang Wan rolled her eyes speechlessly, "Are you trying to say that the beauty of the soul is the real beauty?"
She felt that this sentence could be classified as a quote from a scumbag. If any man tells you that I love you not because of your appearance, but because of your kindness, no matter if you are beautiful or ugly, run away.
Yan Cheng shook his head with a smile and looked at her: "What I mean is that a person's beauty or ugliness does not depend on his skin, but on whether he is beautiful or ugly in the eyes of his lover. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and we think beauty is incomparably ugly.
A person may be perfect in the eyes of his beloved. Falling in love at first sight may be like looking at the skin, but love over time will definitely be more than just the skin.”
Zhuang Wan wanted to say that you are right if you use too many words, but she saw Yan Cheng staring at her with a lustful expression, without blinking.
"What are you looking at me doing? I'm not Xi Tzu!"
Yan Cheng smiled and said, "I don't know what Xi Shi looks like, but you must be prettier than her."
Zhuang Wan: "..."
A small notebook records the classic sayings of scumbag men picking up girls: I have never met XX, but you must be prettier than her.
Help, if anyone has oil-absorbing paper, let's absorb oil for the villain! Zhuang Wan felt that she couldn't stay any longer, so she quickly found an excuse to escape: "You eat first, I'll go to the latrine first."
…
After a few days of rest, Xiao Jingchen and Yan Cheng had recovered. Although Chen Wujin, Bai Qilang and others had not fully recovered, it did not prevent them from starting to make noise again.
"Li Daniu has made such a great contribution, but there is no reward?" Bai Qilang was a little angry: "Then Sloppy is a greedy and fearful beast, and he has nothing to do? It's really unfair."
"That's right! How dare you call yourself Pingnan Army." Chen Wujin looked at the waist tags hanging up. They were all taken from the bodies of those who died in the canyon when cleaning up the battlefield.
He picked up Hu Xiaoliu's waist badge and said with emotion: "On weekdays, he is the most timid, but that day he was the one who rushed to the front. Xiaoliu died well deserved, which is much better than that careless one who was just surviving."
Laiji said angrily: "I'm better than that sloppy guy."
"Yes!" Chen Wujin patted him on the shoulder: "Even Lai Er is better than him."
"Okay..." Zhuang Wan said: "None of your injuries have healed yet. How can you be so angry? Being careful can cause serious harm to your health."
Bai Qilang coughed twice and said, "Don't we feel sorry for Daniel!"
Zhuang Wan was also puzzled. Logically speaking, Yan Cheng had made meritorious deeds. Even if Xiao Jingchen didn't know about it, Pang Ao would always mention it. He should be promoted anyway. Even if he wasn't promoted, there would always be rewards. He wouldn't be here now.
Still calm.
But isn't this what she wants to see? If Yan Cheng was just a small soldier and not a general with a heavy army, how could he dare to enter the palace?
"Li Daniu didn't say anything, but you guys just kept worrying about it."
"What's wrong?" Yan Cheng happened to come into the tent at this time. When he heard Zhuang Wan talking, he asked, "What's wrong with me?"
"It's okay, I'm talking about your legendary deeds!" Zhuang Wan turned around and saw that he was holding new equipment in his hands. The armor was thick and the helmet was shiny. They were not worthy of small soldiers like them.
"What are you..."
Yan Cheng put down his armor and said, "I was about to tell you that the prince has promoted me to the rank of captain of the Yue Cavalry School."
After hearing this, Chen Wujin and others cheered and came over to congratulate Yan Cheng.
Zhuang Wan didn't react: "Is this a very big official?"
"I don't know..." Chen Wujin said, "But the captain is much better than the centurion who was careless."
Bai Qilang asked Yan Cheng: "Then you now command thousands of soldiers and horses?"
"Just you..." Yan Cheng said: "A total of one hundred and thirty-eight people!"
"..."
Everyone fell silent instantly.
It is too shabby for a captain to have only a hundred or so people under his command.
Yan Cheng continued: "Now that you all belong to the Yueqi camp, I will pay you an additional five taels of silver."
?!
Everyone cheered again!
Laiji said: "Then are we higher level than ordinary soldiers?"
Yan Cheng thought for a while, "You can... put it this way."
"Great! We've also been promoted and paid more!"
"Of course!" Yan Cheng said: "In the battle in the canyon, all of you are meritorious, including the brothers who died. The prince has issued an order: Each person will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, and each family of the dead soldiers will be given a pension of thirty taels of silver.
"
The crowd cheered again.
Zhuang Wan quickly said: "In addition to being promoted, what else did King Qi reward you?"
Everyone else only has ten taels, but Yan Cheng only has twenty or thirty taels!
Yan Cheng smiled and took out a fist-sized piece of silver from her arms. The bright white money blinded her.
This is obviously more than twenty or thirty taels.
She quickly reached out to take it, because Yan Cheng said that all his money would be kept by her.
At this moment, Yan Cheng is like a great man who has earned a lot of money and brought it back to his wife, while Zhuang Wan is like the happy little woman who is in charge of the economic power and counts her money every day.
Just when she thought Yan Cheng would hand over the heavy silver to her right away, she saw that he just gave her a look and then took it back.
"I want to distribute these one hundred taels to the brothers who died in the battle. Although the money is not much, it is enough to make winter clothes for their wives and children at home. I, Li Daniu, swear that as long as I live, I will depend on you for life and death, and share weal and woe!
"
Yan Cheng, like Pang Ao, had no hope for these three hundred people before, but in the battle in the canyon, they impressed him with admiration.
Chapter completed!
