Chapter 337 - 337 336 Sleep Together

?Chapter 337: Chapter 336: Sleep Together Chapter 337: Chapter 336: Sleep Together After dinner, Chu Lingxuan said to Wang Cheng, “I need to return to the Yamen tomorrow. You should stay a few more days with your mother-in-law before going back to the barracks in half a month.”

Chu Lingxuan had two separate camps. One with a handful of soldiers and his Yamen building were in the Dingzhou capital city, while the majority of his troops were stationed outside the city. Wang Cheng could be assigned to the Yamen in Dingzhou, where the conditions were better and Chu Lingxuan could keep an eye on him.

When it came to Wang Cheng’s duty, the problem of real-life logistics arose. Where should his home be if he was to serve in the capital of Dingzhou?

Mrs. Wang, who couldn’t bear to part with her brother, suggested, “Buy a plot of land near my house and build a house there, so I can help look after my siblings. Cheng can come home during his off days, much like a son-in-law.”

Chen Afu disagreed, “Uncle’s health isn’t the best, he can’t ride horses for long periods, and would have to travel by carriage to return home. If we set up home here, it would not be convenient for him to go back on his days off.”

Traveling by carriage is much slower than horseback riding, so the round trip would indeed be inconvenient.

Wang Cheng thought about it and said, “We will set up our home near the city of Dingzhou then; the cost of building a house there is cheaper, and it will be easier for me to go home.” He added to Mrs. Wang, “When my family and I go on extended leave, we’ll visit you, sister, and brother-in-law. Feel free to come to my house when you’re free as well.”

Chen Afu chuckled, “Uncle doesn’t have to live on the outskirts of the city, I’ll buy you a small courtyard house in the city.”

Wang Cheng laughed, “Thanks, Afu, you’ve already spent so much on me. It isn’t right to let you bear more expenses…” He then shared the plan he and Mrs. Wu had discussed.
