Chapter 209: Rumors ( 6 )

Since these pelts were made from the deer and reindeer raised in Yao Zhi’s system’s husbandries, their quality far surpassed the leather produced in this era.

Thinking about the salt sold in the town, she took out the technology record and flipped through the pages until she found the method for refining salt.

Since this world was a novel world, she didn’t know the structure of Great Yan’s government. But owning a method for refining salt was equivalent to holding a double-edged sword. However, with Xue Ya’er’s intelligence, she was sure this method would become a sharp weapon in her hands.

Yao Zhi wrote down the method and stored both the record and the method in her system’s storage. When she was done, she led Xiao Lu out of the shed and rode it to town. As for Ye Ying and Bai Xue, they stayed behind to watch the house.

While she was on her way, Fu Chen’an was standing on the training field, with Yun Feng beside him.

At this moment, he was surrounded by several centurions and battalion commanders. They were checking his horse and discussing it in low voices.

When they were done, they walked to the side and glanced at Lu Qianxuan. Standing on the stage, the General stared at the warhorse and asked, "Squad Leader Fu, where did you get this horse?"

Fu Chen’an cupped his fists, bowed his head, and said, "Reporting to the General, this horse was given to this subordinate by this subordinate’s wife."

"Where did your wife get such a good horse?"

"This subordinate’s wife used all of her money, vegetables, and family heirlooms to exchange for this horse at the border market."

The moment Fu Chen’an said this, everyone was surprised. After a moment of silence, they broke into lively discussion.

Besides envy and jealousy, they also admired him for being able to make his wife love him so much. He was the peak example of a great man.

Hearing this, even Lu Qianxuan felt a little jealous. The gifts he received from his wife were mostly prepared by servants. Even if they were ordered by his wife, they were not made by her own hands. The meaning was different.

This horse was a heartfelt gift from a wife to her beloved husband. As for the gifts sent from the General’s mansion, they were something a matriarch sent to a patriarch. They were all things that were expected to be done.

Feeling sour in his heart, Lu Qianxuan said, "Squad Leader Fu, your wife treats you very well."

Fu Chen’an didn’t understand his General’s sourness and replied honestly, "Thank you, General."

Even though he felt annoyed by his dense subordinate, obtaining a good stallion was great news. He suppressed his annoyance and said, "From today onward, you will be transferred to the cavalry team and trained under Vice General Jiang."

When everyone heard this, they were stunned. Vice General Jiang was a veteran of the White Tiger Army. Although his training methods were the harshest, everyone who trained under him had a bright future.

Based on this alone, the possibility of Fu Chen’an being promoted in the future was high.

Fu Chen’an understood the General’s intention and was overjoyed. He quickly knelt on one knee, cupped his fists, and bowed his head. "This subordinate obeys!"

Before leaving, Lu Qianxuan added, "Come to my tent."

Hearing this, Fu Chen’an entrusted his horse to Xiao Wei and quickly followed after the General.

After they left, the soldiers couldn’t hold back anymore and came to take a closer look. But before they could touch Yun Feng’s mane, it let out a high-pitched neigh and raised its front legs high.

This was a warning to them. If they dared to get closer, it would stomp them to death.

Noticing that the horse was bad-tempered, the soldiers didn’t dare to touch it and could only admire it from a distance.

Inside the General’s tent, Lu Qianxuan dismissed everyone, leaving only him and Fu Chen’an. After a long silence, he finally said, "Squad Leader Fu, how did you maintain a good relationship with your wife?"

The moment he heard this, Fu Chen’an was stunned. It took him a while to regain his composure. "Replying to the General, this subordinate didn’t do anything special. What this subordinate did was something any husband would do for his wife."

"For example?" Lu Qianxuan asked again.

Fu Chen’an thought for a moment before he said, "For example, handing over all of my salary. Giving her full authority to make decisions at home, respecting her opinions, and listening to her."

Lu Qianxuan tapped his fingers on the desk and thought about his words.

While he didn’t give all of his money to his wife, he let her manage all of his assets, so she shouldn’t lack money.

He also gave her full authority to make decisions at home. After all, she was the matriarch; this was what she deserved. He always respected her, which made their relationship polite yet distant.

As for listening to her, they rarely met. Even if he wanted to listen to her, he had no chance to do so. He wondered if exchanging letters counted, but after thinking about his wife’s replies, he knew that it didn’t.

Fu Chen’an observed the General and noticed that he was frowning. After hesitating for a while, he finally gathered his courage and asked, "General, if you have any worries, maybe this subordinate can help you find a solution."

The moment he heard this, Lu Qianxuan said, "Squad Leader Fu, it has been so many years, but my wife and I still don’t have a child. I don’t know what to do to improve my relationship with her."

After a moment of pause, he continued, "You have a good relationship with your wife. I wonder how you do it."

When he heard the General’s words, Fu Chen’an was not surprised. As a small Squad Leader, he was already so busy that he had to squeeze time just to go home. So, for the General to have an estranged relationship with his wife was normal.
