"My lord …" Liyun caught up with her from behind, his face filled with apprehension.
Jiang Pengji said, "That Dian Yan is not bad. When this phase of training in the new recruit camp is over, transfer him to my side."
Transfer him to the lord's side?
Is she intending to nurture Dian Yan?
Liyun was astonished, but he said, "Yes, my lord."
"Why are you following me?" Jiang Pengji took two steps, but Liyun was still following her. She turned her head and asked him, "Are there no more training in the new recruit camp?"
Liyun looked embarrassed and asked Jiang Pengji cautiously.
"My lord, the new recruits are injured to this extent. Are we still going to continue training today?"
One by one, they lay on the ground, crying out in pain. They looked very pathetic.
Liyun was a kind child, so he wondered if he should give the new recruits half a day to recuperate. After all, the training in winter was very heavy. Without a healthy body and sufficient rest, they would not be able to persevere to the end.
Jiang Pengji snorted coldly and said, "Your lord knows when to stop. Otherwise, there would be hundreds of corpses lying on the ground. How could I let them whimper and wail? The injuries on their bodies only look scary. In reality, other than some pain, there are no other problems. They won't die. "
What a joke. If Jiang Pengji really went all out, the small bodies of these newbies would not be enough for her to tear them apart.
Hearing this, Liyun felt more at ease.
What happened in the new recruit camp was quickly spread to the government office.
Xu Ke and Qiguan Rang revealed a curious expression. Xu Ke even pinched his chin and touched the short beard that he had just grown.
He smiled and chatted with others, saying, "I wonder what my lord looks like when she dresses as a girl?"
Meng Hun happened to come to the government office to retrieve the bamboo scroll. Hearing Xu Ke's words, his mind involuntarily pictured Jiang Pengji dressed as a girl, drawing her eyebrows and lips. She pitifully blinked her big watery eyes, spoke softly, and walked in small, quick steps …
Oh my god, Meng Hun almost shivered in fear.
Qiguan Rang snorted and took out a small plate of fried and salted peanuts from the table. His words were harsh.
"With Lord's looks, even if she's dressed like a fairy, men would probably be scared out of their wits when they see her face. They wouldn't have any romantic thoughts … Why do you have to take things so hard?"
The eyes were innocent. What had they done wrong? Why did they have to hurt them?
Xu Ke leaned over and stretched out his hand. He touched a handful of Qiguan Rang's peanuts and put them in his mouth. They tasted good.
"That's true. My lord's face … I really can't think of anything."
Xu Ke and Qiguan Rang joined hands to ridicule Jiang Pengji.
They did not realize that Feng Jin and Wei Ci had remained silent … Of course, even if they realized this, they probably would not care, because Feng Jin and Wei Ci indeed did not look like people who would ridicule their masters. They were both gentlemen.
A gentleman does not speak ill of others behind their backs. There is nothing wrong with that.
Silently, Feng Jin and Wei Ci looked at each other, then quickly moved away.
They were all suspicious of each other's reactions. Could it be that Zixiao (Huaiyu) knew something?
"What's with your expressions?"
It was rare for Jiang Pengji to come back to the government office. She realized that Xu Ke and Qiguan Rang's expressions were a little strange.
"I heard that my lord wiped out the recruit camp?" Qiguan Rang asked with a smile.
Jiang Pengji rolled her eyes. She knew why these people were secretly laughing.
She admitted it openly. "Yes, your lord even changed into the uniform of the female camp and picked out all those little bastards."
Qiguan Rang held back his laughter and bowed with his hands folded in front of him. "My lord is heroic."
Jiang Pengji snorted. Qiguan Rang's acting skills could fool others, but it definitely could not fool her eyes.
She glanced at Qiguan Rang and Xu Ke and sat at the head of the table. "Don't you want to see your lord dress up as a woman?"
Qiguan Rang raised his eyebrows. He had a bad premonition in his heart, but he said honestly, "Of course I do."
Jiang Pengji supported her cheek with one hand and tapped on the table with the other. She was rather bored.
She said, "It's almost the New Year. Anyway, you don't have to go back to reunite with your families. Why don't you just gather in the government office and celebrate the New Year together? Instead of enjoying the festivities of the New Year, why not play a game? Everyone will dress up. The men will dress up as women, and the women will dress up as men. How about that? "
Qiguan Rang was silent for a moment. His lord was really bored to death.
Nanshan Dihuanling: "Hahaha, I'm impressed by the streamer. How can you be so quick-witted?"
Zi Zizai Xiaoyao: "The streamer who dresses up as a man suggested that everyone dress up. Streamer, you won't lose out on this deal."
Chanel: "Dress up! I'm looking forward to Beauty Ci dressing up as a woman. He'll definitely look like a fairy."
Even though he knew that Jiang Pengji was only joking, Qiguan Rang still had to explain lest she really did it.
Pinching his carefully grown beard, Qiguan Rang laughed at himself.
"My lord's suggestion is interesting. However, in order not to frighten the gods and Buddhas and disperse the luck of the coming year, this plan should be put on hold for the time being. Look at this face. Even if I put on makeup and change into a woman's uniform, I still don't look like a woman. "
Jiang Pengji curled her lips and shook her head with a smile. She turned to ask Feng Jin.
"On New Year's Eve, Huaiyu plans to accompany Jingxian to keep vigil at home? Changsheng is almost eight months old now. Jingxian has been staying at home to take care of Changsheng. It looks quite boring. Why don't you bring her to the government office? The more people there are, the livelier it will be. "
Feng Jin thought about it. "I'm tempted by my lord's suggestion, but I still have to go back and ask Jingxian for her opinion."
Although Qiguan Rang and Xu Ke were married, their wives were not by their side. Needless to say, the others were all single. If they went back to celebrate the New Year, it would indeed be a little lonely. Jiang Pengji suggested holding a New Year's banquet. Everyone would gather together to celebrate the New Year. Naturally, no one had any objections, as long as she didn't go crazy and suggest cross-dressing.
The government office went on a break two days in advance. The entire Xiangyang district had a more lively atmosphere for the New Year.
If one went to the night market, one could see the sincere and relaxed smiles on the faces of the people.
The eateries, teahouses, and other shops closed one after another. This made Zhang Ping extremely worried.
"Zixiao is back."
Zhang Ping was hungry. The eateries outside were all closed. He went to the streets to look for food for a long time, but he couldn't find it.
Hearing movement outside the house, he poked his head out to take a look. Wei Ci, who was wrapped tightly, walked slowly to the courtyard.
"The government office will go on a break today." Wei Ci took off the wooden clogs on his feet and entered the main hall. He realized that the charcoal basin in the hall had been extinguished for a long time. He remembered that there was sufficient coal in the manor. It didn't make sense for it to burn out so quickly. Zhang Ping must have forgotten the time when he was tormenting the wood. He didn't even notice that the charcoal basin had been extinguished. "Yes, I brought this for you."
Wei Ci took out a tightly wrapped, warm item from his sleeve. It was wrapped in a braised chicken drumstick that was taken from the district headquarters' kitchen.
