Madam chen

Madam, you are welcome. When the time comes, you will need to organize all the women in the city who can sew to make uniforms for the soldiers."

Madam Chen was very surprised.

"General, I am afraid it is not appropriate for you to entrust such an important matter to me!"

Zhan Chengyin looked at Chen Kui. If Madam Chen did not do such a good job, it would be given to others!

Chen Kui quickly winked at his wife, "Why don't you thank the general quickly."

Madam Chen was a little confused, but she still bowed to express her gratitude. "Thank you, general, for the important task. I will do my best!"

She was still confused. With a few words from the general, she took on the job of making clothes for the army.

The women of the Great Qi Kingdom never leave the house and rarely show their faces.

Her husband actually supported her in organizing women to make clothes.

Zhan Chengyin nodded, "You can recruit women from all over the city. All women who come to make military uniforms will be given two meals a day, which is better than rice porridge. They can get two kilograms of rice, one kilogram of vegetables, and a small bag of salt every month." Mrs. Chen's eyes lit up immediately. Two meals a day and rice.

Recruiting is much easier.

She suppressed her excitement, "General, I will definitely make the uniforms."

"The cloth in the yard is only one-third, and there will be more cloth tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

Mrs. Chen got into the role very quickly, "General, I will order people to arrange the cloth and make more space."

"I don't know what color the military uniforms are, most of these cloths are floral."

Zhan Chengyin looked at the cloth, thought for a moment and said, "The surface is solid color, and the lining is floral."

"I understand."

"The servants and children at home will change into new clothes first, and you can choose a few pieces of cloth!"

The town's supplies have been cut off for almost a year, and the supplies from outside can't come in. The servants in Chen Kui's house don't have cloth to cut new clothes.

The children have grown taller, and the clothes are obviously too small to fit.

"General, this is not possible. The cloth is used to make military clothes for the soldiers."

Zhan Chengyin said, "There is still a lot of cloth. It doesn't matter if you take a few."

When he was about to leave, Chen Kui hurriedly stopped him, "General, please stay."

Zhan Chengyin didn't understand and looked back at Chen Kui.

Chen Kui immediately winked at Mrs. Chen.

Mrs. Chen understood and entered the main courtyard. After a while, she brought out a large box with two red carved lacquer boxes on it.

The lady was struggling to move it, so Chen Kui hurriedly took it and moved the box to Zhan Chengyin and opened it.

The box was full of jewelry and jade, emitting a dazzling light.

Two red carved lacquer boxes contained the gold hairpins and step-shaking gold bracelets that women liked.

The style of the hairpins is the most popular style in Daqi.

Zhan Chengyin was very happy to see these two boxes of jewelry.

The gods will definitely like it!

Chen Kui said: "The gods gave us food, and today they also gave us cloth. I, Chen Kui, should offer them. General, all these jewels should be offered to the gods!"

Zhan Chengyin smiled and patted Chen Kui on the shoulder.

"You are thoughtful. She should like these two boxes of jewelry!"

Zhan Chengyin buckled the box and put the box and the box together on top of the vase.

He let go and the things disappeared.

Seeing such a strange scene, Mrs. Chen covered her mouth, as if she thought she had seen it wrong.

The items just disappeared out of thin air.

Zhan Chengyin took out a white paper and wrote on it: "The jewelry is given to the gods by General Chen Kui and Mrs. Chen. I hope the gods are happy."

Soon, a small note floated from the vase.

"The two boxes of jewelry are very popular with me. Wait a minute, I will give a return gift immediately! Is there a large family of General Chen Kui?"

Zhan Chengyin: "There are five children, a wife and two concubines."

"Wait for me for a few minutes!"

Seeing that Zhan Chengyin had not left, Chen Kui grinned and quickly pulled his wife aside, whispering: "Go, make tea for the general."

Mrs. Chen was puzzled. The family's money was given to the general, but the general made it disappear. Why was her husband so happy?

"Listen to your husband, go quickly."

Mrs. Chen came back from making tea and saw something left in the corridor.

Five packs of lollipops, five packs of White Rabbit milk candies, fifty packs of potato chips, and five big bags of gift packs,five bags of L dried fruits, five bags of fruit soft candies, five pounds of apples, five pounds of bananas, and countless books, papers and pens.

That's all. The more exotic items include eyebrow pencils, several blushes, several eye shadows, and lipstick sets of different colors... a total of more than a dozen boxes.

Chen Kui doesn't understand cosmetics, but Mrs. Chen understands them instantly when she sees the eyebrow pencils.

The gods that her husband mentioned sent lip balm and rouge.

A piece of white paper floated over, with the words: "Send some snacks, books, paper, and pens to the children. Send a water-cream set to the lady. Apply it evenly after washing your face every morning and evening. It can make your skin white, smooth and delicate."

"Lipstick is lip balm, just unscrew it and use it..."

Zhan Chengyin handed the white paper to Chen Kui, and Chen Kui read it out.

The lady heard it and was overjoyed.

Eyebrow pencils, lip balm, rouge, and foundation...

Chen Kui's wife is also a lady from a noble family. When she was waiting to be married, she was outstanding in appearance and literary talent. A family in Beijing would be sought after by hundreds of families.

After her parents compared their horoscopes with the Chen family, they found that the two families were well matched, so they arranged a marriage.

Chen Kui had a rough look, not as handsome as General Zhan, but he had never treated her badly.

The two concubines were promoted from the dowry maids arranged by her mother.

Now the gods have sent candies, rouge and powder, and most importantly, books, paper and pens.

Paper is the most expensive and luxurious thing in the world.

Even the general rarely uses it, and only uses it to deliver important letters.

Mrs. Chen looked at the snow-white paper and was very happy.

Her eyes were filled with tears as she saluted the general, "General, thank the gods for me!"

The couple sent Zhan Chengyin to the door together. It happened that the soldiers who were sending instant noodles home came to Chen Kui's house.

Everyone was there, Zhan Chengyin said, "Go pick a few pieces of cloth and take them home for the servants to cut clothes."

Chen Wu looked at his eldest brother, "Has the cloth arrived?"

Chen Kui nodded, "There is a lot of cloth, and the soldiers can make a set for each person."

Zhan Chengyin said again, "There will be more cloth to be shipped tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!"

Therefore, there is a surplus of cloth.

Mo Fan has long been tired of his clothes being dirty and smelly every day, and he can't wash them.

He took the lead in entering the backyard and held five pieces of cloth, two of which were plain and three of which had bright patterns, and handed them to the accompanying military advisor.

With him leading the way, there was no need to worry about the rest. Each person chose three pieces and handed them to the adjutant and took them home first.

Chen Wu didn't go to choose, his eldest brother would help deliver them to the mansion.

He said: "General, the city wall reported that until noon, the barbarians did not attack, but have been stationed ten miles outside the city without retreating."

Zhan Chengyin frowned, "They are waiting for an opportunity."

"This general thinks so too. Luoge brought a wizard to predict the time of attack."

"It would be great if we could get out of the city." As long as the barbarians are stationed outside the city, the people in the city will be restless and have to be on guard against the barbarians attacking the city at any time.

It's like a sword hanging over your head, ready to be chopped down at any time.

It is said that a thief can steal for a thousand days, but you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days.

They have been feeling passive for a year and don't want to continue to be passive.

Zhan Chengyin said: "Find a few smart soldiers to come to the city tower to learn how to bury explosives."

Chen Wu's eyes suddenly widened, "You mean burying explosives?"
