On the way, Sun Ce felt that Yuan Quan was calculating, but he didn't expect Yuan Quan to be calculating to this point, and even Yuan Heng's maids were dismissed. Yuan Heng is the wife, Yuan Quan has always maintained her identity, if she doesn't even have a maid and has to do everything herself, then except for Mrs. Wu, probably no one is qualified to have a maid.

That's too much.

Yuan Heng shook his head. "No, the maids of Mother and Sister Yin have not changed."

Sun Ce's brow furrowed even tighter. "Then the two of you maids were dismissed?"

Yuan Heng flattened his mouth, rubbed his fingers, and remained silent. Sun Ce took her hand and immediately felt the calluses on her fingertips, which were not as thick as Yuan Quan, but for Yuan Heng's age, this was not a normal phenomenon.

"Let's go, let's go find her." Sun Ce stood up and pulled Yuan Heng out.

"No, no, no, I'm not going, I'm not going." Yuan Heng shook his head again and again.

Sun Ce didn't let go and pulled her out. At the door, he squatted down first to help Yuan Heng put on his shoes. Yuan Heng's face turned even redder, and he refused politely. Sun Ce had no choice but to let her wear it herself. Out of the door, the two walked through the courtyard and came to Yin Ji's house, and as soon as they stepped on the steps, Yuan Heng's hands began to tremble. Sun Ce was inexplicable, glanced back at her, and was about to ask her why, but he heard a chuckle from the room.

"Alright, don't be nervous. The husband is not one of those rude men, he knows how to pity people best, and you don't know it. ”

"Sister, will you stay with me?" It was Yin Ji's voice, revealing timidity.

"Am I not here?" Yuan Quan smiled: "Look at you, what's there to be nervous about." Let you not inquire, you don't believe it, it's better now, I'd rather listen to those women than believe me. ”

"Sister, it's not that I don't believe you, it's really ......" Yin Ji was a little slurred, and her voice was lower, even with Sun Ce's ear power, she couldn't hear clearly. Yuan Quan chuckled. "Okay, okay, I've heard some of these stories, but most of them are untrue, just rumors from the public. Auntie, you can't listen to the wind and rain in the future, you have to use your brain and think more. Okay, don't be nervous, I'll be with you. I didn't get hurt any of them, and two of them were still afraid that he wouldn't make it? ”

Sun Ce raised his eyebrows and understood. He let go of Yuan Heng's hand. Yuan Heng covered his face and ran away. Sun Ce scratched his head, embarrassed.

When fighting on the march, senior generals can bring their families, but ordinary soldiers cannot bring their families. Originally, there were camp prostitutes, but in order to ensure combat effectiveness, he canceled the setting of camp prostitutes. In order to show that he shared weal and woe with the soldiers, he himself did not bring concubines. After months of hard fighting, now it has finally come to an end, the soldiers have returned to their hometowns one after another to recuperate, and most of the suppressed physiological needs have finally had a chance to vent out, many people will become like beasts, wives and concubines can't bear it, and even the story of being injured has always been the most popular meat joke in the barracks.

Most of these stories are bragging, but people have a curiosity mentality, the so-called dog bites people is not news, people bite dogs is news. The Han Dynasty was not as conservative as later generations, and the art of the room was a righteous and bright academic, and men and women did not shy away from sexual affairs, especially ordinary people who had little culture, and there was nothing to hide. When a man comes back from a war outside, he has made meritorious service and received a reward, and the woman's face is bright, and those who have not been rewarded for meritorious service must also satisfy their vanity, saying that their men are strong and good at fighting has become a good excuse. Originally, it was just a mouthful, but after a long time, it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and the more you say it, the more outrageous it becomes, and it has a nose and eyes, and it is said vividly, you can't help but believe it.

Yin Duan was born in the military, Yin Jiao has been no stranger to the military camp since she was a child, and she has heard a lot of these stories. In the past, Sun Ce still had Feng Wan by his side, but now that Feng Wan stayed in Wu County, she was probably panicked, for fear that she would not be able to cope with it, so she specially asked Yuan Quan to help. Yuan Heng knew the inside story, but she was a little girl, how could she be embarrassed to say this to Sun Ce. Sun Ce pulled her in, but he really embarrassed her.

Seeing Yuan Heng running back to the West Chamber, Sun Ce coughed lightly, and the room suddenly fell silent. After a while, the door creaked open, and Yin Ji blushed, stood at the door with her head down, and gave a timid salute.

"Husband."

Sun Ce slowly walked into the door and glanced at Yuan Quan. Yuan Quan covered his mouth and couldn't help laughing. Sun Ce glanced at the furnishings in the room, especially the arranged couch, and couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster. The last time I slept with Yuan Quan and Feng Wanda seemed to be two years ago.

Sun Ce walked to the edge of the couch and sat down, pretending to be calm. "Where's the son?"

"Sent to my mother." Yuan Quan said: "Mother likes these two children, and Shang Hua likes them too, and often takes them over to live together. Husband, Shanghua husband and wife get together less and leave more, this is not a long-term solution. ”

"Let Hongzi come back and rest in a few days." Sun Ce nodded. It's not just Hongzi, it's time for Daddy to come back and save his family.

Yin Ji couldn't interject, and hurriedly turned around to get the items for washing. Taking the opportunity, Sun Ce said: "Listen to Ah Heng, you dismissed both of your maids, are you so tight now?" ”

Yuan Quan glanced at Sun Ce, was silent for a moment, and shook his head. "No, although there are indeed a lot of places to spend money, a few maids can still afford it. This year, Runan suffered a military disaster, many people died unexpectedly, and there were not a few people who died in broken families, and it was not difficult to find a few young and stable maids to be maids, just a matter of a few mouthfuls of food. I was worried that Ah Heng had been pampered since she was a child and couldn't endure hardships, so I found an excuse to let her do more things by herself and be prepared. ”

"Are you worried that she won't be able to control the housewife?"

Yuan Quan sighed lightly, showing a rare hint of exhaustion. "Husband, the Sun family's portal is getting bigger and bigger, and it is not easy to be a good housewife. If you can't lead by example, how can you convince the public? I can help her, but I can't replace her, and many things can only be faced by herself. If you don't suffer now, how will you face it in the future? From thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, I was full of flowers before the age of fifteen, after the age of fifteen I met someone unladylike, at the age of nineteen I was willing to suffer, how much suffering I have suffered to this point, only I know in my own heart. Ah Heng has been pampered since she was a child, thanks to the general's gifts, even in the most difficult times, she did not suffer much. Until now, she didn't know what life was really like, and if she didn't suffer anymore, she wouldn't have a chance. ”

Sun Ce was silent for a long time, did not speak, and his heart was sour. He held Yuan Quan's calloused hand with one hand, put his arm around Yuan Quan's shoulder with the other, took her in his arms, and kissed her lightly on the forehead.

"Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard." Yuan Quan had a sour nose and leaned on Sun Ce's shoulder. "I'm already very content to meet the general. There are many men whose family background is stronger than Fujun, but there are only a handful of people who can pity women like Fujun, and I am fortunate to be a general in the posture of Pu Liu, which is caused by the accumulation of virtue by the ancestors of the Yuan family, and I dare not expect more. As long as I can help the general, I will be willing to do whatever it takes, even if I am broken. ”
