She drank it often?

Zhengshan tea cakes were only slightly inferior to tribute tea and were even rarer than loose tea in Northern Fujian.

Every year, before the spring tea was harvested, it would already be reserved by all the noble families. It was hard to find even with money.

Back then, Sister Yuan used the Zhengshan tea cakes she stole from her grandfather to provoke Chu Lian.

Chu Lian looked at the aide-de-camp and almost laughed out loud. Was this female general Sima similar to this aide-de-camp or was this aide-de-camp too stupid?

She wanted to brush it off and ignore it. This trick was too clumsy and was left behind by Sister Yuan.

But before Chu Lian could speak, Wenlan couldn't help but defend her master, "Madam, you might not know but our master doesn't like to drink fried tea. She thinks it tastes too strange."

This time, the aide-de-camp's face turned red and even her lips began to tremble.

After Wenlan spoke, Chu Lian looked at her disapprovingly and Wenlan immediately shut her mouth.

However, this aide-de-camp was clearly disrespectful and Chu Lian didn't plan on reprimanding her maid in front of others. She only softened her expression and didn't say anything.

After a while, the aide-de-camp finally calmed down.

She took a deep breath and forced a smile, "It's this subordinate's fault. I didn't know what the village lord likes."

Chu Lian said it was fine.

The aide-de-camp, Xiao Yan, wanted to say something but a soldier had already sent a message saying that the general had sent someone to escort Jinyi Village Lord to the main tent.

Chu Lian stood up and led her people out of the warm tent.

Xiao Yan walked them to the door and stared at Chu Lian's back. Her smile finally couldn't be maintained and her long face became twisted.

The maid beside her also complained in a low voice, "Hmph, this Jinyi Village Lord really doesn't know what's good for her. She doesn't even like fried tea. This servant thinks it's because she hasn't drunk it before and doesn't dare to embarrass herself!"

Xiao Yan sneered. Who said it wasn't so!

She was just a poor girl from a declining family. How could she compare to their female general?

There was one thing that the female adjutant, Xiao Yan, did not lie about. Sima Hui indeed often drank fried tea, and her favorite was Zheng Shan Small Tea Cake. Although she was not a direct descendant of the Sima family, she had the backing of Old General Sima. Although the Sima family was small in number, they lived a luxurious life, much better than many of the second-rate aristocratic families in the capital.

Otherwise, Xiao Yan, who was raised as half a noble daughter, wouldn't be so arrogant.

Xiao Yan sneered, "Do as I said last night."

"Yes, Sister Xiao Yan, this servant will go."

General Qian personally saw Chu Lian out of the main tent. After all, the war at the front line of the Northern Region was urgent. It was impossible for him to have too much time to accompany Tang Yan, Chu Lian, and the others. He personally received them only for the sake of the Empress Dowager's decree and the supplies they brought.

Because of the relationship between Colonel Guo and He Changdi, General Qian asked Colonel Guo to entertain them after Chu Lian came out of the commander's tent.

At this time, it was almost noon. Chu Lian came to the border army camp for the first time. He Sanlang was not there, so Officer Guo took the initiative to invite Chu Lian and Tang Yan to stay for lunch.

Officer Guo said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, although the food in the army is rough and crude, it is a pleasure to experience it occasionally."

Chu Lian didn't refuse. Since she came to the border army and had such a good opportunity, she had long wanted to take a good look.

Tang Yan's idea was similar to Chu Lian's, but he was a man, so he was more casual in the army than Chu Lian. These years, he had been serving under Prince Jin in Shengjing and hadn't been out of Shengjing for several years. Taking this opportunity, he also wanted to understand the structure of the border army and daily training.

Tang Yan wanted to go to the training ground to see, so he said goodbye to Officer Guo and Chu Lian and left with another general.

Although Chu Lian also wanted to see it, the training ground was full of young and vigorous soldiers. It was not appropriate for her to watch from the side. She could only be taken by Officer Guo to the camp of the right army to see He Sanlang's living environment in the army.

The right army dispatched more than half of the people to the front line to support. At this time, only a small part of the people stayed in the camp. Most of the small part went to the training ground. At this time, there were few people in the camp, which was convenient for her.

Commandant Guo was not completely unscathed. He was the only general left in the Right Wing Army, so he had to deal with everything personally. As soon as the group arrived at the Right Wing Army camp, a soldier hurriedly came to report that a platoon leader sprained his leg on the training ground and had a conflict with the platoon leader of the Left Wing Army.

Officer Guo's face turned cold.

Chu Lian saw Officer Guo's face was embarrassed, so she said considerately, "If Brother Guo has any urgent matter to deal with, you can go first. I will find someone to lead the way."

Officer Guo thought about it for two seconds. Seeing that this was the only way, he said, "Then Sister-in-law can sit in Zixiang's tent for a while. When it's done, I will immediately come over to eat with Sister-in-law."

Officer Guo ordered his adjutant to lead Chu Lian to He Sanlang's tent. He and the soldier hurriedly left.

Wenqing looked at Officer Guo's back. For some reason, she felt that today's events were too coincidental.

However, when she saw that her master looked as if nothing had happened, she couldn't say it out loud in front of others.

Officer Guo's adjutant was a slightly short and chubby young man. He had a square face and his eyes would narrow when he smiled. He looked like someone who was easy to get along with.

He took a step forward and pointed to the right side of the camp. "Xiangjun, follow this subordinate. Officer He's tent is in the second row from the back."

Chu Lian nodded and walked over with Wenlan's help. Her leg injury hadn't completely healed, so she walked slowly. The adjutant deliberately slowed down to take care of her.

Light snow drifted down from the sky. Wenlan put Chu Lian's hood over her head. The road wasn't far, but because Chu Lian walked slowly, it took her twice as long as a normal person.

She could already see the tent the adjutant was talking about. It really didn't look any different from the other tents except for the two female soldiers at the entrance who were clearly wearing women's uniforms!

Chu Lian's footsteps paused. Her clear almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly, and the hand warmer in her rabbit fur sleeve unconsciously tightened.

The adjutant also widened his eyes in shock. He rubbed his head, unsure of how to explain it.

In the entire border army, who else had female soldiers? It could only be General Sima. But why would General Sima's female soldiers be in front of Officer He's tent?

There was a wooden basin filled with water in front of the tent. There were two or three sets of clothes in the basin. It was obvious at a glance that these female soldiers were helping Officer He with his' general affairs'.

Who could order around this arrogant female army? It wasn't just General Sima …

Since when did that guy He Sanlang get this kind of treatment?!

The adjutant was a bit jealous, but when he turned his head and saw the delicate and beautiful Jinyi village girl beside him, his expression instantly changed. He thought about the pitiful He Sanlang's situation and decided to forget it. He would rather be an older bachelor who washed his own clothes.
