"Ling'er, if this rabbit cub dares to bully you, you can beat him hard, and you don't have to save face for the master." Needle Niang glared at Hua An as she spoke, although she seemed angry on the surface, her tone was full of banter, she knew that Wang Ling was definitely reluctant to really hit Hua An hard.

Wang Ling stretched out his pink little fist and gently slapped it on Hua'an's broad shoulder.

A sly smile appeared at the corner of Hua An's mouth, and he stretched out his right hand and grabbed the pink little hand from Wang Ling, and said softly: "Madame, stop talking nonsense for your husband." ”

After speaking, he grabbed Wang Ling's jade hand tightly, and rubbed his thumb back and forth on the back of Wang Ling's hand a few times, and suddenly a feeling of relaxation and joy surged into Hua An's heart.

"I hate it, you still say." Wang Ling blushed, scolded coquettishly, and struggled hard, trying to break free of the jade hand held by Hua An, but even dragged it several times without success, Hua An's big hand was like a pliers, clamping her pair of jade hands tightly.

Wang Ling couldn't break away from Hua An's big hand for a while, and Needle Niang and Xue'er were next to her, which made her feel embarrassed, and a little sweat oozed from her forehead because of the violent force.

Her big eyes full of aura looked at Hua An pleadingly, pouted, and said softly: "Hua An, let go!" ”

Hua An saw that Wang Ling's embarrassed appearance was very interesting, and his heart suddenly became even more proud.

He cleared his throat, looked at Wang Ling quite mischievously, and asked the scoundrel: "It's okay to let me go, you have to call me husband in person, otherwise don't think about it." ”

After speaking, he turned his face to the side and put on a ruffian posture.

At this time, Needle Niang and Xue'er were cleaning up the silk next to her, Wang Ling was also a yellow flower girl, how could she be called out in such a public occasion.

But if he didn't scream, Hua An grabbed his hand and didn't let go, looking at Hua An's rogue expression, Wang Ling was so anxious that he almost cried.

In fact, Hua An was still quite distressed when he saw Wang Ling's anxious expression, but he wanted to let go of his hand immediately, but when he imagined the ecstasy of Wang Ling calling his husband in person, his heart suddenly hardened again.

Wang Ling saw that Hua An had no intention of letting go, and in desperation, he had no choice but to compromise and lean over to Hua An's ear.

She tugged at her small mouth, almost touching Hua An's ear, and said in a mosquito voice: "Husband......"

After speaking, a pretty face, which was already red, suddenly became even more red, and even the roots of the ears were red.

"Wow......"

When Hua An heard this, he suddenly felt that the muscles all over his body were numb, and the affectionate 'husband' was like 'cartilage', which made the bones of Hua An's arm lose strength in an instant, and the big hand that held Wang Ling tightly unconsciously let go.

Wang Ling quickly withdrew his arm, and took a few steps back with palpitations, looking at Hua An vigilantly.

Hua An was still intoxicated with the atmosphere just now, and Wang Ling's heat with body temperature seemed to be still lingering in his ears, making his entire ears always numb.

The first time is always wonderful, Hua'an came to this world, it is the first time that a girl calls herself 'husband', and that feeling is so ecstatic.

Hua An raised his head slightly, and the corners of his mouth were filled with a satisfied expression.

"Stinky boy, what about sleepwalking?" The needle girl scolded with a smile.

When Hua An heard this, he was stunned, and when he saw that the needle girl was five steps ahead, she was looking at herself with anger in her eyes, and hurriedly hugged the bamboo basket and ran over with a smile.

With the joint efforts of the four people, the silk on the clothesline was quickly cleaned up.

Hua An asked about the origin of these silks out of curiosity, and it turned out that these colorful silks were all the work taken by the needle girl.

Since she left Situ Mansion, she has lost a way to earn money, although Huagui can support her family by relying on her carpentry skills.

But the needle girl doesn't like tight days, she wants to make life better, so she takes on a lot of embroidery work.

This work is not easy, a lot of silk due to the stacking for a long time, when you take it back, it exudes a strong musty smell, the needle girl is always very responsible for washing the silk first, and then hanging it in the yard to dry.

After drying, according to the customer's requirements, embroider the required pattern on it, and then a piece of work is ready.

In fact, Wang Ling's embroidery when he was a child was very poor, but since he learned from the needle girl, the level has improved like a fly, and at this moment, he can already embroider qualified patterns according to the requirements of customers.

Usually, Xiaocui and Xiaozhu will also help together, but unfortunately, today, they both went home on leave.

Taking advantage of the needle girl's efforts to sort out the silk in the bamboo basket, Hua An inserted a brown hairpin with a jade and silver pendant bought in the bazaar and inserted it into the needle girl's coiled hair.

"Huh! This is for the mother. The needle girl pulled the hairpin on her bun and asked in surprise.

Hua An nodded and said softly: "It was An'er who deliberately honored her mother, besides, no one else can bring her here except her mother." ”

"That's the same, my mother accepted it." After the needle girl finished speaking, she smiled from ear to ear.

In fact, in ancient times, only women who became relatives would coil up their hair, and special tools were needed to coil up their hair, and at this time head jewelry such as hairpins and sticks came into being.

The needle girl put the hairpin on her head again, looked at the three people in front of her, and asked with a smile, "Is it good-looking?" ”

"Well, it's good." Hua An and Wang Ling spoke in unison.

"This was specially picked by Brother Hua'an, and it is even more beautiful when my mother brings it." Han Xueyu's little mouth seemed to be sweeter.

The compliments of the three of them made the needle girl even happier, but there was a trace of loneliness in Wang Ling's eyes.

When he was collecting the silk just now, Wang Ling saw that Han Xueyu had a beautiful green jade necklace hanging around his neck, so he asked curiously, and when he learned that it was sent by Hua'an, he felt a hint of vinegar in his heart.

At this time, seeing Hua'an gave it to the needle girl again, such a beautiful hairpin, her heart was even more unpleasant, she originally thought that Hua'an must have a gift for herself, but after waiting for so long, Hua'an only cared about praising the needle girl, and did not mean to give herself a gift.

She glanced sideways at Hua An, and seeing that Hua An didn't pay attention to herself at all, she couldn't help but feel a little sad in her heart, so she closed her eyes, lowered her head and sighed.

In fact, the corner of Hua An's eyes was staring at Wang Ling all the time, the reason why he didn't immediately give the pair of white jade bracelets to Wang Ling.

First, I wanted to deliberately anger her first, see her jealous funny appearance, and then surprise her when she was sad.

Second, the pair of white jade bracelets is more expensive than the hairpin on the needle girl's head, Hua An is afraid that his mother will feel uncomfortable when she sees it, and he is still very clear about his mother's little temperament.

Third, giving the bracelet to Wang Ling in front of his mother, Hua An was a little shy in his heart, and he was afraid of his mother's jokes.

"Ling'er, what's uncomfortable, are you tired?" Hua An held Wang Ling's arm and asked pretending to be confused.

"Let go." Wang Ling angrily pushed away Hua An's hands, pouted, and said, "I'm tired, go back to the room to rest first." ”

After speaking, he walked to the backyard without looking back, and from time to time he put his hand on his forehead, completely wiping his tears.

"What's going on?" The needle girl was on the rise, and she was confused.

Han Xueyu opened a pair of innocent eyes and looked at Hua'an suspiciously.

Hua An smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said indifferently: "It's okay, leave it to me." ”

After speaking, he puffed up his chest and strode towards the backyard.

After Han Qian left the palace, he rushed back to the camp of the Northern Expeditionary Army with a hundred personal soldiers as quickly as possible.

As soon as he entered the camp, Han Qian summoned officers above the rank of lieutenant to discuss specific combat strategies and pre-war preparations in the big tent of the Chinese army.

When the generals heard that the Jingzhou Legion and the Yangzhou Legion were both attacking more and less, while their Northern Expeditionary Army was with fewer enemies and more enemies, directly facing the main army of Taobao, they immediately expressed extreme dissatisfaction.

"General, didn't the imperial court push us into the fire pit when it gave such an order?" One of the lieutenants jumped to his feet.

"That's it, why do they all pick up cheap, and let us gnaw on the hard bone of the peach leopard, the last general is not afraid of the peach leopard, but he doesn't want the soldiers to die in vain." The other lieutenant continued.

Even the deputy general Chen Xiong was indignant, he looked at Han Qian, hugged his fists and said: "General, at least we should let the main forces of Jing and Yang Prefecture each allocate 10,000 partial divisions to support us, the strength of the peach leopard, the general is not unclear." ”

"Shut up, don't say anything." Han Qian slapped the table violently and said angrily: "The imperial court's strategy to defend against the enemy is the general's idea, and it is also the general's idea to resist the Peach Leopard army alone. ”

"General, why is that?" The generals in the tent suddenly widened their eyes and looked at Han Qian with an incredulous expression.

Han Qian frowned and glared at the generals, sighed slightly, and said: "Soldiers, we are soldiers, and the duty of a soldier is to obey orders, now, the Zhao State in the north has sent 150,000 troops to the south, and the army that my Great Jin can mobilize can only be comparable to the enemy at most, but the enemy's combat strength is obviously stronger than our army, and only by concentrating the main force to break the enemy can the enemy's attempt be thwarted." The premise of concentrating the main force to break the enemy is to let a partial division drag the enemy's main force, that is, the Peach Leopard Army in the middle. ”

After Han Qian finished speaking, he turned his back slightly, looked at the huge military map behind him and fell into deep thought.
