"Was it because of his demotion after the battle at Sazao Manor?" she then asked Ning Su.

Ning Su pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said: "It's not quite right to say that. The Battle of Saozhuang was caused by an intelligence error on General Zhu's side."

"Feng Tang's brother's performance has been extremely valiant. The soldiers he rescued are all grateful to him!" Ning Su said.

"Since he has done no wrong and performed bravely, shouldn't General Xiahou reward such a soldier?" Yang Ruocheng pressed the issue.

His man has ambition and is good at what he does.

But to receive such unjust treatment in the army camp, as his wife, she could not stand idly by!

Hearing Yang Ruohui's question, Ning Su also showed a few traces of embarrassment.

To be honest, when he first heard about this deployment, his reaction wasn't any different from Qing'er's. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

I also went to ask General Xiahou about it.

"Feng Tang brother saved my life not once, he came to the military camp, I hope he can make achievements."

Tranquility and order prevail.

“About this matter, I inquired with General Xiahou. However, the general did not give a reason, only saying that the military head of the kitchen came to take people away...”

"Ah?"

Yang Ruqing was even more stunned.

After all that fuss, instead of General Xiahou punishing the young Tang, it's the "platoon leader of the cooking squad" who wants him to come forward?

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated! ?

What did Xiang Zhongtang's kid do?

>

When it came to cooking, he was only capable of roasting sweet potatoes and barely managing to cook edible meals.

Everything has its cause and effect. This leader of a band of scoundrels, she needs to go and see someone.

"Ning Gege, may I go take a stroll around the quarters of Tang Yazi and his men?" she asked.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Ning Su said, "Normally, civilians are not allowed to enter military camps. However, I can give you a token."

>

“Really? Thank you, Brother Ning, for your kindness!”

>

Overjoyed, she collected the token. Meanwhile, Luofengtang carried a wooden barrel with one hand.

Inside the bucket, there was a basin of steaming hot water and another basin of cool water for rinsing.

It was overflowing, yet not a single drop of water spilled from the bucket as he carried it along his journey.

Upon seeing this, a surge of pity welled up in her heart.

To be talented but unrecognized, I suppose this is what it means.

Over there, Luofengtang saw Ning Su was also there, not at all surprised.

“Are you here to pick up the goods?” he asked.

>

Ning Su nodded, "Just finished discussing this matter of verifying the goods with Qing'er."

"Qing'er, then you chat with Feng Tang brother, I will go back to the camp first."

Okay!

As Yang Ruqing saw Ning Su depart, she came to Luofeng Tang's side and helped catch one of the water buckets, placing it steadily on the ground.

Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!

"After I finish showering, I want to go play at the military camp with you, okay?"

She held onto his arm and looked up at him with a mischievous smile.

Hearing her plea, a flicker of guilt and panic flashed in his eyes.

“This is a heavily guarded military camp, civilians are not allowed to enter without authorization.” he said.

"Ding ding ding..."

She took out the token that Ning Su had given her and shook it.

“Ning, Big Brother, let it go,” she said.

"What?"

Seeing that sign, he was downcast.

I'm trying to think of a reason to keep Qing’er from going. Please note that the original text was empty. I've kept the HTML tag as instructed.

When I went there, I discovered his secret.

He didn't want this girl to worry for him.

However, she smiled wryly, as if she were a little voice inside his head.

"Just let me go, I want to see how well their cooks in the kitchen can do. I'll compare them to our Tianxiang Building chefs and see who's better!" she said.

This sentence, even more so, made his heart tighten.

Please note: I can only translate the text within the tags. I cannot understand or change the HTML code itself.

He frowned and looked at her: "Qinger, you...you understand?"

She nodded.

"Big Brother Ning told me everything," she said with a smile, "He said you've moved."

After the astonishment on his face, there was utter dejection that he no longer tried to conceal.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you..."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated! I'm happy to help. ?

He spoke in a low voice, his eyes unable to meet hers directly.

This is the end of the paragraph.

Yang Ruqing raised her hand to cup his face, making him look into her eyes.

"Silly boy, what's there to be disappointed about?"

"Have you ever heard the saying, 'Where there's a will, there's a way'?" she asked.

He looked at her with a complex expression.

She curled her lips into a smile and continued, "You came to join the army to make a name for yourself. That's a good aspiration."

But nothing in this world comes easy!

"Haste makes waste."

"Good steel is tempered through a thousand hammerings and a hundred refinements."

"Life, without experiencing great ups and downs, is not a complete life."

“So, you've been sent to the kitchen, is that all there is to it!”

“This is a trial, and also an experience. You really shouldn't be discouraged...”

“Qing'er!”

He cut her off.

"I understand what you're saying."

“But I’m still a little down.”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

He frowned and poured out everything that had been building up inside him over these past days.

“Every day, I see them cook and prepare meals, repeating the same things.”

In their leisure time, they were not practicing but gathered together to gamble or went to the brothels in town with their friends to drink and enjoy the company of courtesans...

"To be honest, I feel like I'm just going through the motions, getting my pay."

"It's terribly dull here. I might as well go back and help you with the business. At least, I'd feel like a useful person!" he said.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Yang Ruqing patiently listened to his story.

>

When a woman is unhappy, she can gather her girlfriends to talk about it. She can cry anytime and vent her feelings with tears.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated! ?

But men, have to be strong, and care about face.

Most people tend to bottle up negative emotions like frustration and sadness.

If you hold things in for too long, you'll get sick.

So regardless of whether it's a man or a woman, when one feels down and has troubling emotions, they should strive to find an appropriate way to release them.

Let him speak, say it out loud, and he'll feel half the weight lift off.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else! ?

She patiently listened to him finish, then gently clasped his rough hand, squeezing it lightly.

“What a silly boy,” she said.

"You have to believe in yourself and your worth. No matter where you are placed, you can always do a good job."

Just like gold, even if it temporarily falls into the mud and is covered in muck.

"But, when the mud is wiped away, it still shines with a new light!"

"Likewise, you can't give up on yourself. You have to be more resilient!"

After her guidance, Luofeng Tang's gloomy mood for several days finally brightened up.

“Qing'er, when I return, I will take you to the military camp. Although those uncles in the kitchen are lazy and lack ambition, they are very righteous and treat me very well.”

"Especially Bai Lao Wu, the military leader. Last time, he even went against General Zhu for me, making General Zhu so angry that he left."

"Well then, since that's the case, I can't go empty-handed." Yang Ruqing smiled.

>

“I brought some wild tea from home this time, a package for that warlord Bai Lao Wu as a greeting gift!”

She said.

This wild tea was praised by Zuo Junmo and his son last time.

Is a specialty of that region, the warlord is sure to like it.

>

Even if it's not to your taste, at least you'll be happy. It's polite to accept gifts!
