Sick Man Turns Out to be a General

After the doggy drank the rice soup, its spirit was much better. It walked up to Mu Jin's feet and rubbed against it, as if it was rolling and acting cute.    

    

Seeing that he liked it, Mu Chen touched his head and asked him: "Xun Er likes puppies?"    

    

"I like it." Xun Er vigorously nodded his head, he looked very cute.    

    

"Then give them a name, we'll raise them in the future." It was only two puppies, and they were only normal for the servants to take care of them. As long as they didn't hurt Xun Er, it would be fine.    

    

"Really." Xun Er's eyes lit up as he clapped happily, "I'll give the puppy a name, I'll give it a name …"    

    

Xun Er felt that he was being highly valued. He was already a small adult, hence he put more thought into naming the little mutt and started to think about it.    

    

Seeing his serious look, Mu Jin could not help but laugh, and turned to Mu Chen and said: "Big brother, Xun Er's appearance, is extremely similar to yours."    

    

Needless to say, that small look of frowning and thinking deeply, he seemed to be imprinted in the same mold as Mu Chen. Shen Jingli also laughed and hugged Xun Er in his arms, stroking him for a while.    

    

Xun Er shook his head unhappily and resisted, "Mama, I'm trying to think of a name for my dog, don't disturb me."    

    

Seeing his serious expression, Shen Jingli could not help but laugh out loud, allowing him to do whatever he wanted. He turned his head and ordered Nian Hua, saying: "Nian Hua, go and call Fourth Uncle over later, let him make a home for these two puppies."    

    

Fourth uncle's name was Yang Dagan, he was ranked fourth at home, and was also called Old Yang. He was originally a carpenter in the village outside the city, but was recommended by the Steward Wang to Shen Jingli, and later became a carpenter of County Prince's Mansion.    

    

"Alright, I'll be there right away." Nian Hua also really liked those two puppies. Hearing Shen Jingli's orders, they immediately ran out happily.    

    

When the two doggy became tired, they laid obediently on the ground, licking each other's fur. Seeing that they were obedient, Shen Jingli let Xun Er sit at the side and watch.    

    

"Xun Er seems to like those two puppies a lot." Mu Jin sat on the chair, crossed his legs, and took a bite from the table to eat. After eating a few bites, he felt that he was even hungrier, so he turned to Jin Yu and asked: Jin Yu, is there anything else to eat? I only ate two mouthfuls of steamed buns this morning and I'm still hungry. "    

    

"You didn't go to the academy this morning?"    

    

The servant placed the freshly brewed Jade Spring onto the tea table beside the two of them. Mu Chen took a sip.    

    

"Today, Xiu Mu wanted to go with his schoolmates to the horse race outside the city, but Zhang Cheng said that his family has a few doggy. He asked us if we would like to go and watch, so we went. Mu Jin explained.    

    

He turned his head to look at the doggy, only to see Xun Er squatting at the side, staring at the two doggy s.    

    

"How's your homework?"    

    

Upon hearing Mu Chen's question, Mu Jin immediately drooped his head, revealing an expression that was difficult to put into words.    

    

Seeing him like this, he knew that he definitely had not done his homework. Mu Chen hatefully poked him on the forehead, "You, when will you be able to get snacks for your homework?"    

    

"It's too boring to do my homework." Mu Jin curled his lips, writing essays and planning theories, it was truly boring, he would rather run horses and shoot arrows, "Big brother, how about you send me to the army camp? "I feel like I'm riding a horse and shooting arrows..."    

    

"Just be a good student." Mu Chen rejected him without thinking.    

    

Although it sounded very impressive, he was clearer than anyone else about the hardships involved. If possible, he hoped that Mu Jin would stay away from the battlefield for the rest of his life.    

    

Jin Yu carried a plate of soup back. Mu Jin took a small bite and sucked the soup out of it, then angrily took large bites of it.    

    

"..."    

    

Xun Er stared at the doggy for a long time before finally deciding on a name. He ran over with his short legs and pulled Mu Chen and Shen Jingli to look at the two doggy s.    

    

He pointed at the dog with a tuft of yellow fur and said, "General." He then pointed at the snow-white puppy, "Your Highness."    

    

General? Prince?    

    

Hearing these two names, everyone present was stunned, then burst out into laughter.    

    

"Xun Er, you are quite ambitious." Mu Jin held his stomach, which was twitching from laughter, and gave Xun Er a big thumbs up.    

    

Aiya, he's laughing to death. This nephew of his really is a genius. I really want to know just what kind of expression the prince will have when he finds out about this.    

    

Shen Jingli could not help but laugh. These two names sounded domineering, but who would actually give a dog such an impressive name? Was he not afraid of being invited to drink tea in his cell?    

    

The corner of Mu Chen's mouth twitched, and his expression became somewhat subtle. He crouched down and hugged Xun Er, and under his son's anticipating gaze, asked: "Why did you give me such a name?"    

    

Xun Er thought for a while, pointed at the little yellow hair and said: "General, you are just like father, mighty, and protect Mama and Xun Er."    

    

"Your Highness." Xun Er pointed to the little white dog, then pointed at Shen Jingli, "Mama, let's go."    

    

Shen Jingli was a County Prince, but there were very few people in the Palace who called him Master County Prince, so even though Xun Er had this impression, he could not remember it clearly. On the contrary, because he had interacted with Yan Chenglee a lot, his memory of the term "Duke" became even deeper.    

    

In his tiny brain, his father was a mighty general, and everyone in the household worshipped his father. However, his Mama was the County Prince, so he had to be with them.    

    

Mu Jin and Shen Jingli both stopped laughing. Shen Jingli squatted down and hugged Xun Er, rubbing his soft face against Xun Er's small face.    

    

"Xun Er is awesome."    

    

Receiving her father's praise, Xun Er laughed happily as he buried his head into Mu Chen's chest.    

    

Although Xun Er's intentions were moving, the two doggy could not use a name that sounded so disrespectful to the Imperial Family. Therefore, under Shen Jingli's guidance, he named the two doggy again, one was called Dou Bao and the other was called Snowcake.    

    

However, Xun Er was not willing to call them both by their names.    

    

"..."    

    

In the evening, Shen Yue'er returned from the villa outside the city with a few fish and some vegetables.    

    

"Fourth Brother, brother, I'm back." Shen Yue'er jumped down from the horse carriage and rushed in with a smile.    

    

Recently, she had eaten well and slept soundly. From time to time, she would come to the Purple Bamboo Association to soak in the hot spring and make a facial mask.    

    

If she did not speak, Mu Chen would not dare to recognize her.    

    

"Is sister-in-law doing well?"    

    

Chen Da did not want to stay in County Prince's Mansion, so he built a house in a village outside of the city. He helped Shen Jingli take care of the orchard, and his days were not bad.    

    

Sister Tian and Xinmei are getting along very well with the little fellows in the village. Today, there are some little friends who came to invite them to pick up some fruits. Shen Yue'er happily reported to Shen Jingli. She liked to run to the village outside the city.    

    

"That's good." Shen Jingli was afraid that the entire Sister-in-law Chen would not be used to it, so hearing this, he calmed down a little.    

    

"Fourth Brother, don't worry. Sister-in-law will take care of herself. She even said that she will come to the city with us for the winter solstice. When the time comes, we will make dumplings and eat them together." Shen Yue'er laughed, and revealed two faint dimples.    

    

"Alright." Shen Jingli nodded in agreement, "Quickly go back and take a bath to warm up."    

    

"Alright, I'll go now." She turned and ran, shouting towards Nanny Jin at the same time, "Nanny Jin, get someone to bring hot water to my room."    

    

Shen Yue'er was not used to having people serving him, and was afraid that it would cause trouble for Shen Jingli, so he rejected Shen Jingli's invitation to arrange for her personal maidservant. If he could do it, he would do it himself.    

    

Shen Yue'er returned to his room while Shen Jingli ordered the people from the kitchen to bring the fish and vegetables she brought back to the kitchen. He also ordered the Nanny Jin to have the people from the kitchen cook fish for water tonight.    

    

"Madam, today, the Embroidery Workshop have brought this year's custom-made winter clothes from our residence." Jin Yu walked over with a book in her hands, "I've already ordered people to send the books for the old master and madam to my room, and the children's room in Young Master as well. Only Miss Biao is left."    

    

The two maidservant s followed behind Jin Yu, each of them holding onto a set of cotton clothing. One set was pink, while the other was emerald.    

    

Shen Jingli reached out and touched it, feeling that the clothing was extremely detailed, and that touching the material was also very comfortable, he nodded his head, "Then send it to her room."    

    

He thought for a moment and said, "I think it's better if I go there myself."    

    

When Shen Jingli came to Shen Yue'er's room, he had already taken a quick bath. He changed into a set of clean clothes and tiptoed to look in the mirror.    

    

"What are you doing?" Shen Jingli couldn't help but ask as he watched Shen Yue'er tiptoe to look at himself in the mirror.    

    

The bronze mirror was placed on the table so that one could look at it while sitting. Why did he have to place the bronze mirror on a high place and stand on tiptoe to look at it?    

    

Shen Yue'er lowered his head in embarrassment. After a while, he gathered his courage and asked: "Fourth Brother, am I very short and ugly?"    

    

"Nope."    

    

Shen Jingli looked at her face carefully. Compared to the previous black face, it was a little whiter now, slightly wheat colored, with a body that was longer and a bit of flesh. His body was round and sleek, and he looked quite cute. However, Shen Yue'er was only fifteen years old, so there was still a lot of room for growth in the future.    

    

"But they all say I'm ugly and dark and short." Shen Yue'er sat on the bed in disappointment, not even interested in looking at his new clothes. She lamented for a while, then suddenly raised her head, "Fourth Brother, what can I do to make me taller?"    

    

"Drink more bone soup, exercise more, jump rope, kick the shuttlecock, you will grow even taller." Shen Jingli thought for a moment and gave a precise answer.    

    

"But I want to grow taller right away." A lot of exercise, a lot of exercise. She had been exercising all this time, but it hadn't grown that much.    

    

"Then you can wear high heels." The instant increases, many women love it.    

    

"What are high heels?" Shen Yue'er asked curiously, even Jin Yu was very interested.    

    

"That's right …" Shen Jingli felt that he couldn't explain it clearly, so he made Jin Yu take a pen and paper and drew a pair of floral shoes with a slope to it, "This is a pair of high heels."    

    

Shen Yue'er held the painting and looked at it for a long time, then excitedly asked Shen Jingli: "Fourth Brother, how do I make these shoes? Make me a pair. "
