Chapter 814: Celebrating the Holidays Together
"The baby seems to be very healthy. Based on my experience in delivering some women in the tribe, I guess I will be born soon." Xiao Xiu'er said to Ella.
"Are you guessed it's a man or a woman?" Liu Rushi said.
It was snowing outside Ella's room, but the stove made the room warm as spring. Xiao Xiuer and Liu Rushi were all here.
"It's okay for men and women," Ella said.
"Of course it's better for men. Maybe he can inherit the career of this mansion and the military leader in the future." Liu Rushi said.
"I think the military leader and sister Ella think about the same thing. I guess the military leader doesn't care much about this. No wonder sister Ella can be with the military leader." Xiao Xiu'er has lived in the Taiya tribe in Yizhou for a long time, where both men and women have to hunt, so the defense between men and women is not as strict as stipulated by Cheng and Zhu Neo-Confucianism.
Liu Rushi sighed slightly, claiming to be a talented woman, bound by gender and unable to display her talents, but when thinking, she couldn't help but unconsciously escape the constraints of traditional concepts.
"Sister Xiao, is the medical department on vacation at this time?" Ella asked Xiao Xiuer.
"Yes, Sister Ella, how do you know?" Xiao Xiu'er asked.
"When Da Yuer was in the Academy of Sciences, I often went to see her, just like a good sister of her, so over time I remember the schedule of the Academy of Sciences." Ella said, "In a few days, she should be back from Japan."
"I first went to the Western Regions, and then went to Japan to envoy. I rarely saw such a woman. No, I should say I have never seen her before." Liu Rushi said.
"Sister Liu, after this winter, I will find you a bigger house, so you can prepare for next year's Academy of Sciences entrance exam." Ella said.
"How can this be done? I take care of my sister. You are because the military leader once helped me, and what I said before doesn't count." Liu Rushi said quickly.
"You don't have to refuse, these will make me feel guilty. When I was a subordinate, the courtyard that the military leader used to reward me is now uninhabited, and I am afraid it will be abandoned." Ella said.
In fact, she had never lived in the courtyard that Chu Yun gave her before, because Chu Yun and his team kept her here for various reasons.
As the founder of the Jiuzhou Army Navy, many of the current Jiuzhou Army naval generals were trained by him, and there was no shortage of houses. As an empty-nest elderly man, Nelson often mingles with those in the Navy to drink, and he does not need to be taken care of.
"Then I'll just stay for a while." Liu Rushi couldn't refuse, so he said.
"And why did Goya's sister not come recently?" Ella asked about Goya's situation again.
"The martial arts lecture hall should be on holiday soon. They are much stricter than the Academy of Sciences. After Goya arrived at the martial arts lecture hall, she found that there were all military officers or reserve officers. She thought it was a place to learn martial arts, and she made a lot of jokes when she entered. However, she thought it was a very suitable place for her, and her physical fitness was no less than that of many men in the martial arts lecture hall." Xiao Xiu'er said, "And she seemed very popular in the martial arts lecture hall. I heard that a man was pursuing him, named Cao Bianjiao, Sister Ella, have you heard of that person?"
When Ella heard Cao Bianjiao's name, as the director of the Intelligence Department, she naturally knew very well, but why Cao Bianjiao and Goya were related.
Ella said: "I heard that he was a guerrilla general during the Ming Dynasty. Later, he followed his brother-in-law Cao Wenzhao as brigade commander in the Sixth Corps in Guangzhou Prefecture, and later transferred to the Zhengnan Army as the commander of the Third Corps. After the Zhengnan Army was disbanded, he was removed from his position as the commander of the Corps and went to the martial arts lecture hall to study."
This is not just something I have heard of... Xiao Xiuer and Liu Rushi were suddenly a little scared, and Ella seemed to be clear about everything in the secret.
"Don't get me wrong. I just investigated the details of every senior executive based on my previous position and would not investigate ordinary people for no reason." Ella said quickly, afraid that Xiao Xiuer and Liu Rushi and others would have a gap.
"Although it's a bit scary, we have nothing to check." Xiao Xiu'er smiled.
"Cao Bianjiao is young and promising, but didn't Goya often be with Yu Cheng before?" Ella was a little confused.
"Yu Cheng?" Xiao Xiu'er thought for a while, "Yes, no wonder Goya has never agreed to Cao Bianjiao. However, I can't explain these things clearly, it depends on what Goya thinks."
"Do you want to come to our family dinner during the holidays? There are very few people here..." Ella asked them.
There were only two people in Ella's place, she and her father Nelson. Chu Yun simply did not bring his family and relatives across. Even if he called Yu Cheng, Da Yu'er was only five people. The lively atmosphere was completely insufficient, so Ella simply planned to pull them over, and with Goya, it would probably be more lively.
"This..." Xiao Xiu'er and Liu Rushi looked at each other, a little hesitant. Xiao Xiu'er brought Goya, while Liu Rushi brought Chen Yuanyuan and a Suoer brought back from Jiangnan. They would be very lonely if they celebrated the festival alone. But this was a family banquet after all...
"You guys come together then." Chu Yun walked outside the door and just as he was about to knock on the door, he heard the conversation among the people inside.
When Chu Yun thought of helping Yu Cheng, he naturally had to trick Goya and others over.
And as Ella thought, now there are few people, and there is indeed a lot of Chinese New Year atmosphere.
"Military Master!" Xiao Xiuer and Liu Rushi quickly got up when they saw Chu Yun coming.
"It just so happens that you don't have any relatives in the capital. It's better to come here temporarily than a few days during the holidays. I'll give you New Year's money at that time." Chu Yun said with a smile.
As for this New Year’s money, I’ll just find a way to deduct Yu Cheng’s salary in the future. Anyway, this action is to help him.
"We..." Xiao Xiuer and Liu Rushi wanted to refuse at the same time.
"Even if I don't give me face, I will give your sister Ella a face." Chu Yun said.
Seeing Chu Yun insisting, Xiao Xiuer and Liu Rushi had to nod: "We will definitely come at that time."
"You, are you knitting... knitting sweaters secretly from me?" Chu Yun was a little surprised when he saw Ella holding needles and threads.
If the senior officials of the Jiuzhou Army knew that the top commander of the Intelligence Department put down their command knife and started needlework, they would have been surprised to see that their chin fell to the ground.
"I learned it from Sister Liu, and it's almost finished." Ella said proudly, "Is it good?"
