The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1134: hold up
Chapter 1134: Can Hold On
Seeing that Ren Shijie had already climbed onto the horse’s back, Bai Jinzhi turned his horse around and galloped with Ren Shijie to chase the large army returning from the State of Yan.
Although Ren Shijie felt weak and dizzy, he could not suppress his excitement at the thought of returning to Yan State with a clear conscience. He held the reins tightly and galloped behind Bai Jinzhi, fearing that he would be left behind.
Xie Xun and Murong Yan led the army back to Mengcheng, but their speed was not as fast as Bai Jinzhi’s galloping horse, and they were soon caught up by Bai Jinzhi.
When Murong Yan heard that it was Bai Jinzhi who sent Ren Shijie back, he quickly put on his mask, turned his horse around and went to meet him in person.
As soon as Bai Jinzhi saw Murong Yan, she bowed and apologized: “I’m sorry, my elder sister ordered me to send the people back, but I couldn’t take care of anything else when I had to fight. I wasted so many days, please forgive me, Ninth Prince.”
“Mr. Gao Yi, you are too polite. I’m glad that Mr. Ren can come back! Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Gao Yi!” Murong Yan also bowed to Bai Jinzhi.
Lv Yuanpeng looked at the Ninth Prince of Dayan and felt a sense of familiarity, but he couldn’t tell where he felt familiar. After handing over the task to Ren Shijie, he turned his horse back and said to Bai Jinzhi, “Why do I feel that the Ninth Prince of Dayan is so familiar?”
“Wasn’t Murong Li good friends with you before? It’s normal for this nephew to look like his uncle…”
After saying that, Bai Jinzhi urged Lu Yuanpeng, “Let’s go back quickly. Today is New Year’s Eve. Fifth Brother said that we should eat dumplings tonight. It is the tradition of our Bai Family Army… If we celebrate the New Year outside, the commander-in-chief will celebrate New Year’s Eve with the soldiers during the New Year!”
“Yes, yes, yes! I heard it’s elephant meat dumplings! I haven’t eaten elephant meat yet, wait for me!” Lu Yuanpeng rode quickly to catch up with Bai Jinzhi.

As night fell, the snow fell heavier.
The traces of last night’s battle in Pingdu City have been cleaned up, and the lights are brightly on. Lanterns are lit everywhere in the double-eaved houses in Pingdu City that have not been destroyed by the giant elephants, and clusters of red halos are spreading in the vast snow.
Under the red lights, the soldiers were still busy cleaning up the houses that were destroyed by the giant elephant last night.
“It’s almost time! After we clean this up we’ll go back and eat dumplings!”
“I heard that Xiao Baishuai is making dumplings in the sick camp right now, and he even put copper coins in the dumplings! I must eat the dumplings made by our Xiao Baishuai, so that I can have good luck for the whole year!”
The soldiers chatted and laughed, and their men moved faster.
The soldiers in the wounded camp who had been lightly wounded and had been bandaged gathered together and started making dumplings after the fireman brought them the mixed dumpling stuffing.
Bai Qingyan, Bai Qingyu, Bai Jinzhi, Shen Qingzhu, Xiao Ruohai, Shen Kunyang, Yang Wuce, Cheng Yuanzhi, Shen Liangyu, including Lu Yuanpeng and Sima Ping were all in the wounded soldiers’ camp, making dumplings with the soldiers for the New Year.
The soldiers of the Bai family army had known that Bai Qingyan would come, because it was the tradition of the Bai family army to celebrate New Year’s Eve outside.
Ever since the Bai family army’s chief commander Bai Weiting, deputy chief commander Bai Qishan and other generals of the Bai family left, their little Bai Shuai took up the banner of the Bai family army and became their chief commander!
Even though Xiao Baishuai has become the emperor of Da Zhou, in the hearts of all the Bai family soldiers, Xiao Baishuai… is still Xiao Baishuai. They know that Xiao Baishuai will definitely continue the tradition of the Bai family soldiers.
In the time of war, I will definitely lead the charge!
After the war, he would definitely inspect the wounded soldiers’ camp!
She would definitely spend New Year’s Eve with the soldiers whom she regarded as her family.
A large shed was built outside the camp for the wounded soldiers, and the fireman built a stove outside with mud. The big pot was steaming hot, and it was boiling ready for making dumplings.
There were so many soldiers that it was impossible for everyone to sit together and eat dumplings with Bai Qingyan, but Bai Qingyan was trying to let more soldiers eat the dumplings they made with copper coins on them.
Bai Qingyan and the lightly injured soldiers in the wounded battalion made dumplings very quickly. After the soldiers cleaned up Pingdu City, they could eat hot dumplings when they returned.
Bai Qingyan sat at the head of the wounded camp, followed by Doctor Hong, Bai Qingyu, Bai Jinzhi, Shen Kunyang, Shen Qingzhu, Cheng Yuanzhi, Shen Liangyu, and Yang Wuce.
Dumplings were brought up one plate at a time, and many soldiers said that they were eating dumplings with copper coins attached, and they were extremely happy.
Inside the wounded soldiers’ camp, the red-hot charcoal fire made a slight sound, and the soldiers did not feel cold even though the door was open.
Because she was not with her elders this year, Bai Qingyan, as the eldest sister, prepared New Year’s red envelopes for Bai Qingyu and Bai Jinzhi, and gave them to the two of them before they came to the wounded soldiers’ camp to make dumplings.
Doctor Hong happily prepared several red envelopes as usual and distributed them to Bai Qingyan, Bai Qingyu and Bai Jinzhi.
Bai Qingyan hurriedly declined: “Doctor Hong… I’m already married, how can I still be considered a child! I won’t take the red envelope this year!”
Doctor Hong smiled more kindly and put the red envelope in Bai Qingyan’s palm, saying: “Even if the eldest lady is married and pregnant, even if she becomes a grandmother in the future, she is still a child in my eyes. I can live to spend a few New Year’s Eves with the eldest lady, so I have to give her a few red envelopes. If I go to follow King Zhenguo one day, I won’t be able to give her any money even if I want to!”
Under the flickering candlelight, Bai Qingyan looked at Doctor Hong, whose hair was once gray, but now it was completely silver. Perhaps due to the wind and sun exposure in the army, the brown age spots on his face became more and more obvious.
Bai Qingyan tightly grasped the red envelope in her hand, holding back the tears in her eyes, and said to Doctor Hong: “Doctor Hong, I hope you live a long life. In the future… not only will I receive a New Year’s red envelope from Doctor Hong, but the child in my belly is also waiting to receive a New Year’s red envelope from Doctor Hong!”
“If my eldest sister gives birth to eight or ten children, will your little treasury still be able to support it, Doctor Hong?” Bai Jinzhi weighed the red envelope given by Doctor Hong in his hand, “I think this New Year’s red envelope is quite heavy!”
When Doctor Hong heard what Bai Qingyan said, he smiled even more happily: “I can hold on! I can hold on! I will definitely give it to you! I will definitely give it to you…”
Doctor Hong turned to look at Shen Kunyang and said, “Look, the eldest and fourth girls are asking for red envelopes for the babies in their bellies!”
“I think what the Fourth Miss said is right. Just for this red envelope from you, our Little Bai Shuai must have more children. This red envelope… I will be happy no matter how much you give! The more you give… the happier I am!” As he spoke, Shen Kunyang also took out a red envelope from his chest with a smile and handed it to Bai Qingyan, “The Deputy Marshal and I are friends for life and death. Little Bai Shuai also called me Uncle Shen, and he was so arrogant… that he thought he was from the same generation as the Deputy Marshal. This is my New Year’s red envelope for Little Bai Shuai. Little Bai Shuai must not refuse it!”
Bai Qingyan’s eyes were red and wet. He smiled and nodded, and bowed to Shen Kunyang: “Thank you, Uncle Shen!”
“Fifth Young Master, this is for you!”
