General, Your Wife Is Requesting Your Return Home For Farming

238 He Dreamed

After class, Qin Yanran came out with the zither.

She saw her grandfather’s carriage at a glance.

The coachman bowed. “Miss.”

Qin Yanran asked, “Did Grandpa ask you to pick me up?”

The coachman said, “Old Master came over personally.”

Qin Yanran’s eyes lit up.

His grandfather doted on the siblings very much, but his grandfather was not good at expressing himself and could not do these warm actions.

Qin Yanran enjoyed it. Just as she was about to get into the carriage and bow to her grandfather, she heard the coachman say, “Old Master just saved a child and sent him home.”

“Where’s the child?”

“I think… it’s in this alley. I didn’t notice which family it was.”

He could not stare at the Old Duke’s back. Moreover, the Old Duke’s footsteps were too fast. In the blink of an eye, he was gone.

Since it was from the alley, it shouldn’t take long.

Qin Yanran got into the carriage and waited for her grandfather.

Unexpectedly, she waited until her hands and feet were cold, but her grandfather did not come over.

Qin Canglan was in the Su family’s front yard, feeding the foal with Su Ergou. He completely forgot what he was here for.

It was said among ten generals, nine would be reticent. That was because they had never met anyone with whom they could chat.

Su Ergou was at the age of curiosity and was intoxicated by Qin Canglans stories. He dreamed of riding a tall horse one day.

“What do you want to know… Come, let me tell you.”

Qin Canglan spoke for a full two hours.

He spoke about everything from the feeding of horses to the breed of horses, to the domestication of horses. In the end, for some reason, the topic changed to the battlefield.

What horse was suitable for charging? What horse was suitable for raiding at night?

Qin Canglan had also told Qin Yun about this, but the latter did not like to hear it.

Su Cheng watched as the two of them talked about horses and treated him as air. His face darkened. Were they still eating sweet potatoes?

Don’t just talk!

Hurry up and finish the charred black sweet potato!

It was already two hours after Qin Canglan left the Su family. Su Cheng was grateful that he had taught Su Ergou how to feed the horse.

As a thank-you, Su Cheng offered a thank-you gift: a pack of roasted sweet potatoes that were already cold.

He had finally given them away!

Qin Canglan returned to the carriage and realized that he had completely forgotten about Qin Yanran.

He looked at Qin Yanran, whose lips were purple from the cold, and coughed awkwardly. “You don’t have to wait for me next time. Go back yourself.”

Back at the residence, Qin Che had just returned.

The three of them met at the door.

An Imperial Physician followed behind Qin Che.

Qin Canglan asked, “Why did you invite the imperial physician?”

Qin Che’s eyes flashed. He did not dare to tell her that Qin Yun had been taught a lesson by Princess Jingning. He only said awkwardly, “Yun’er has caught a cold. I invited the Imperial Physician to take a look at him.”

Qin Canglan frowned.

This grandson’s body was too weak. He should not have been spoiled like this. Look at the child in Pear Blossom Lane. He was as strong as a calf and had firm skin…

When Qin Che was young, he was also tough. He would go up out of the house every other day and climb trees. Perhaps he had suffered too much among the commoners. After returning to the capital, he was not as tough as when he was young.

The young man in the alley looked good.

Strange.

Why did he keep thinking of the father and son in Pear Blossom Lane?

Qin Canglan turned around and returned to his courtyard.

Qin Che looked at his father’s departing back strangely. He felt that his father was different from usual today…

He looked at the pale Qin Yanran and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“It’s cold.” Qin Yanran felt wronged and told him about waiting for her grandfather in the carriage for more than two hours.

Qin Che comforted her, “Since your grandfather was gone for so long, he must have something urgent.”

Qin Yanran nodded. She was a junior, so she naturally did not dare to say anything bad about her elders.

“Achoo!”

She sneezed heavily.

She seemed to have caught a cold.

After dinner, Qin Canglan practiced boxing in the courtyard for a while. When the sweat on his body dried, he took a cold shower.

Ever since the Imperial Physician instructed him to take care of his body, he had not taken a cold shower for months.

It was because he was inexplicably frustrated today. He did not know what he was frustrated about.

He was someone who took a cold shower in the middle of winter and did not feel cold. However, when he lay on the bed, the gout in his hand began to flare up.

This was the consequence of not following the doctor’s orders.

Qin Canglan looked at his trembling hand in pain and cold sweat dripped down his forehead.

In the eyes of outsiders, his body was still very strong. He could fight for another seven to eight years. Only he knew that he could no longer hold a sword steadily.

If not for that, why would he have passed the position of Protector Duke to Qin Che so early?

Actually, which of these generals did not exert their bodies too much when they were young and ended up with injuries and illnesses in their twilight years?

The Imperial Physician prescribed him a bottle of painkillers. Because there were certain side effects and addiction, the Imperial Physician instructed him to take a packet only when the pain was unbearable.

He had never taken it.

He understood that medicine was 30% poisonous.

But tonight, he actually couldn’t take it anymore. There seemed to be strange pain in his hands.

He took the medicine.

The drug took effect quickly. The pain was alleviated, followed by drowsiness.

He lay on the hard bed and quickly fell asleep.

He never used to dream.

But that night, he dreamed of his wife and the father and son in Pear Blossom Lane.

In the Wei family, Matriarch Wei locked Wei Ting in the ancestral hall and made him kneel and repent in front of the ancestral tablets.

Was Wei Ting such a well-behaved person?

He turned around and climbed over the wall.

Just as he climbed over the wall, she saw Madam Jiang and Madam Chen in sparring clothes. The former held a nine-section whip, while the latter held a red tassel spear and looked at her calmly.

Wei Ting lay on the wall and sighed helplessly. “There’s no need…”

Madam Jiang patted her palm with the whip and chuckled. “Grandmother guessed that you wouldn’t be honest! Do you want to run? Come on.”

Wei Ting sighed again. “Fifth Sister-in-law, you know that I won’t fight with you and Third Sister-in-law.”

Madam Jiang snorted. “Cut the crap! Are you going to scram back obediently, or are the two of us going to beat you down!”

Wei Ting held his forehead. “Third Sister-in-law, Fifth Sister-in-law, are you serious…”

Madam Chen was strong but had a silly personality.

She looked at Madam Jiang. “Are we serious?”

Madam Jiang said seriously, “Of course I’m serious! Grandmother said that if we let him go today, she won’t let you eat meat for three days!”

Madam Chen stabbed the red tassel spear into the ground!

Wei Ting was speechless.

“Grandmother!”

Wei Ting shouted behind the two of them.

The two of them subconsciously turned their heads. Wei Ting took the opportunity to support himself with one hand on the wall and jump up!

Madam Jiang’s ears twitched as she looked at him coldly. “Rascal! You’ve learned to cheat! Where are you running?!”

She lashed out with her whip. Wei Ting kicked with the tip of his foot and met her whip.

At the same time, Wei Ting flipped back in the air and knelt on one knee, landing steadily on the lawn.

Madam Chen drew her spear and charged forward. The red tassel spear that weighed more than a hundred catties was as fast and agile as a flood dragon in her hand.
