Chapter 5 — The Ancient Moon Was Quiet, Shining on the Shadows of Today's People

25 Co Yen Chu and I started off like a normal husband and wife, he took me out to the lantern festival after the court ended. I also showed great compassion and prepared a table of food for him. Although the taste was a bit strange, he ate it all, very respectful of me. I started to talk in the name of talking, actually carrying out treatment, every day giving him psychological therapy, every morning taking advantage of the time when he was not fully awake, checking on his brother's condition, the recovery was not bad. This matter cannot be mentioned in front of him every day. I'm afraid it will cause him more psychological pressure, so in his eyes, only that bowl of medicine once every five days can cure his illness. Compared to the several bowls of tonic medicine that his mother forced him to drink every day, this was much better, and he was also very cooperative. Not long after, Co Yen Chu and I have been married for three months, today is the day of my dowry. Co Yen Chu prepared two carriages for the dowry ceremony, and the two of them hurriedly headed to the Tham family residence. As soon as I arrived at the gate, I saw the third sister who had just stepped down from the carriage, along with the little maquis with a bruised face. 26 When the third sister saw me, she was extremely happy, immediately ran to me, put her arm around me, and then quickly kissed me on the face: "I miss you so much! You don't know how boring it is for me to be at the Marquis Palace!" I looked at the bruise on the little marquis's face behind her, and asked in a low voice: "This mark on the little marquis's face is...?" The third sister raised her chin: "I hit him, he doesn't understand what people say, let's teach him a little." After speaking, he pulled my hand into the palace. Parents have prepared food and are waiting for us. Not long after, the eldest sister and the third prince also arrived, the third prince said one word "ma'am" and two "ma'am", extremely obedient. The whole family sat around the dining table, the third prince was the most attentive person, the eldest sister only needed one glance, he knew what to order, truly an accomplished husband. My third sister and I looked at each other, silently giving a thumbs up to big sister, big sister smiled as if she understood. Co Yen Chu also cares about me a lot, which is a clear contrast to the cold-faced little Marquis, who only scratches the rice in his bowl and doesn't eat a single bite. The third sister was so angry that her lungs were exploding, and she shot a look like a knife: "If you dare to show that half-dead look again, I will break your mouth and stuff it in!" After hearing this, the little marquis felt as if he had seen a great enemy. He immediately grabbed his bowl and stuffed the rice into his mouth. The whole table was stunned. Co Yen Chu secretly pulled my sleeve and whispered: "Niang, you still treat me the best, don't hit me, don't scold me, don't force me to take medicine, I live happily!" After speaking, tears threatened to fall. That's right, the third prince is now being taught by big sister to be as obedient as a puppy, because big sister knows his weakness - all the fighting cocks are in big sister's hands, if you want to fight cocks, you have to please big sister first. As for the little marquis, there's no need to say anything, you'll know just by looking at his face. Parents saw that the three families were in harmony and breathed a sigh of relief. It didn't matter whether their daughter hit someone or not, as long as no one suffered harm. His father was clearly happy, drank a few more cups of wine, and soon became drunk, so his mother had to help him go home to rest. 27 The three of us sisters started chatting, the third prince heard big sister say he wanted to build a chicken farm, immediately raised his hands and feet in agreement, even sold all the entertainment things from the past, gave all the money to big sister, his chicken farm was initially formed. “Wait until I finish raising the first generation I will bring you all to try, the chewy meat is very delicious, and this breed of chicken has a very ferocious temperament, I will give you a few to protect yourself..." The third sister was so happy to hear that: "Big sister, give it to me, give it to me, let your chicken teach that Tieu So a lesson, he is really a dark devil!" "Every day, I was half alive and half dead. On the day I got married, the room was dark. I thought I wasn't going into a cave, but into the underworld!" "What's the point of saying 'I won't live long, the retirement note is already written, take it away', I was so angry I gave him two punches, his leg is actually not bad, after treatment he will walk as usual, who would have thought that he was not living and dying properly, I had to beat him again, only then did he obediently obey..." Thinking of the bruise on the little Marquis's face, my eldest sister and I tried to interrogate: "Bao Nhi, don't you also treat diseases in modern times?" Human?” "No, I'm very gentle. It's mainly Tieu So that he intends to kill, I have to think of another way, but let's say it again, second sister, how is the little general's illness being treated?" I took a sip of tea: "I found the cause, it's a psychological block, I'm currently undergoing psychotherapy." The three of us looked at each other and smiled, “We are still the best! Everyone has a bright future!” At the same time, in the next room, the three sons-in-law were also talking all night... 28 Stayed at my mother's house for the night, and the next day we each went back to our own house. On the way back, Co Yen Chu received an urgent summons from the emperor and immediately entered the palace. I returned to the palace alone, looked back at the treatment plan I had previously prepared for Co Yen Chu, and was now more than half completed. I was planning to have a formal examination when he was still awake, when Co Yen Chu returned. It turned out that the time he entered the palace was because of an urgent message from the Northwest war, the situation was urgent, and tomorrow he had to immediately set out to meet the enemy. Although her mother-in-law often scolded Co Yen Chu, everyone knew that this expedition was dangerous and dangerous, and she and the mothers around her were all in tears. When I saw that scene, my heart also sank. The day we broke up, Co Yen Chu's eyes still fell on me. Finally, she bowed her head and kissed my hair: "Vi Lan, this time the danger is unpredictable, if I can't return..." I directly grabbed his chin and kissed him, stopping what he was about to say. He was stunned for a moment, then immediately hugged me tighter, the kiss deepened. "I haven't cured your illness yet, so you must live to come back to see me." Thousands of stars shined in Co Yen Chu's eyes as she nodded heavily. 29 Life in the capital was still peaceful as usual, only occasionally news of war came from the Northwest. Today, little general Co won a great victory, but three days later our army was suddenly attacked and suffered heavy losses. Until the war reached Sungjun Mountain, Co Yen Chu's news was cut off. Sung Quan Mountain is a weak military location, the terrain is extremely beneficial to us, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. It's just that they've been guarding there for more than half a month, I'm afraid there isn't much food left. That night, my prediction came true. War reports came back from the Northwest, the situation was urgent, the current grain and grass could not hold out for more than ten days. The worse news is that, due to the dangerous terrain of Sung Quan Mountain, the roads are narrow and steep, and there are no carriages It is impossible to transport food and herbs, each time the supply can only be shouldered by human resources, this is a difficult problem. It was said that the emperor was angry and ordered his officials to come up with a solution within three days. After hearing the news, I immediately sent a letter to my eldest sister and my third sister, then asked my mother-in-law for permission. We have to go to Chongjun Mountain to find Co Yen Chu. Naturally, my mother-in-law stopped me, but I was determined. In the end, she just cried, held my hand tightly and said: "Co Yen Chu is truly blessed. I know I can't stop you, but you must promise me one thing. If Co Yen Chu fails, you must keep your life." "Our family has wronged you too much. If something happens to you this time, I won't be able to live." Saying that, he took out a few pieces of paper from the jewelry box: "This was given to me by Co Yen Chu before leaving. He meant for you, but was afraid of implicating you." I received it, it was my retirement certificate along with a few land deeds and shop sale papers. I smiled and tore up my retirement paper: "Mother, Co Yen Chu will definitely come back." “Moreover, there will definitely be a triumphant return to the capital.” Mother-in-law hugged me and cried without a sound.
