Chapter 781: Jin was a beauty, and the fragrance disappeared

After Chen Tianbao was captured, Qinghua Mansion was finally taken in one fell swoop, and at the same time, the automatic surrender of the two southern states followed, and only the three states that were still resisting stubbornly, that is, the three states where Chen Tianbao started the incident. So, under the instigation of Anyuan Marquis Liusheng, the soldiers who all wanted to win a battle to celebrate the New Year all became tigers descending from the mountain, and the land and water armies marched together, and finally drove more than 100 rebellious people to the sea at the mouth of Qiluo Haikou, so before the small year, the only Yizhou in the entire Jiaolu that only left Shenghua Mansion had not yet recovered.

The army is now stationed in Hue Province, which is only a hundred miles away from Shenghua Province. This is the southernmost place in Jiaoluan, and the climate is already very different from that of Jiaozhou, and now the season is not only drier, but also hotter. Due to the drought, there were many fewer mosquitoes, and many soldiers simply went shirtless, and there was laughter and laughter everywhere.

On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the day of the New Year was celebrated, and in addition to the distribution of military rations, the army also distributed some additional dried meat, which was transported from Guangdong through Qiluo Haikou, which naturally made the upper and lower levels happy, and the rations of the upper officers were even more abundant. With food, the sergeants at the bottom often gather together in dozens of people, and the officers are familiar with each other in twos and threes, and they will spend the New Year happily together. If you have a way, you can often get wine from a local friend, and naturally you will drink two cups.

"Before the Chinese New Year, I must pull out the last nail, and then I will be able to return to Beijing peacefully!"

Although there is a ban on alcohol in the army, now that it is almost the New Year, Liu Sheng also turns a blind eye to the drinking of his subordinates, and he now has a wine glass and jug in front of him, and there is a wine accompaniment who has been dragged over. At this moment, he sighed happily, and then poured himself another drink, and then looked at Zhang Yue with half-squinted eyes.

"If I'm not mistaken, this is the first time you've spent a new year alone outside, right? Hey, are you still thinking about your wife and concubines at home? Once born and twice cooked, the more you become an official in the future, the more opportunities there will be...... Not everyone stays in the capital all the time like those guys in the cabinet. Even they, too, will be sent out from time to time, thinking that Yang Rong didn't go to Gansu to manage military affairs? Cheer up and drink and have a lot on your mind! ”

Before Zhang Yue could speak, he was slapped heavily on his arm by Liu Sheng, and saw that the other party was already blushing, obviously drinking a lot, he couldn't help but smile, raised the wine glass and touched it, and then drank it all. Because the climate is hotter than that of the Central Plains, and it is a specialty snake and a variety of medicinal materials, most of the wine in Jiaolu is medicinal wine, and the people below are even more dedicated to Liu Sheng. He just tasted it just now, and at this time, in addition to the spicy taste of wine, there was also a faint bitterness and medicinal taste, which made people extremely unaccustomed. However, Liu Sheng, who hadn't touched wine for many days, obviously ignored these, and when he drank it, his tongue was a little bigger.

"Xiao Zhang Yue...... You kid is good at everything, that is...... It's just boring! This time, according to me, the next local official has sent several local beauties, and I have already asked someone to send one to your room...... Forget...... Don't care about Shi An and Chen Yong, I left Li Qing behind and deliberately ...... I made it my way to move here to avoid the noisy guys! She was still a beauty, and her family had something to do with rebellion...... It's rare to indulge in the fire, and you can't miss something! ”

I thought that Liu Sheng was complaining about his temperament with wine again, but when he heard that it was not the case at all, so, seeing that Liu Sheng laughed and simply raised the wine jug and drank for a while, he immediately left him and went out happily, obviously he really went to indulge, Zhang Yue only felt that his head was big, and he thought that this elder would really cause trouble.

In the past, the days have been stable in the past few years, and Zhang Yue spent most of his holidays at home with his wife and children, but this time it was the first time that he was marching outside to spend the New Year together, and there was no family around him. He has been away from Guangzhou for almost half a year, because he is either a counselor in military affairs or marching with the army, and it is often a rare night to sleep, where can he think about other things. At this time, there is naturally loneliness in the heart of the young year, but you can just hug a woman to go to the fire, what is this?

Looking at the table full of dishes with chopsticks that hadn't been touched much, he suddenly remembered that Liu Sheng seemed to be only concerned about drinking just now. In line with the principle of not wasting it, he simply went out and called a handyman to come in, packed all the things in the food box and gave them to Peng Shisan, who was gathering to feast, and a few guards, while he had someone wring a towel with cold water, wiped his face tightly, and then walked slowly to his house.

Hearing the sound of someone pushing the door, Niu Dang, who was sitting and napping on the chair, suddenly bounced up from the chair, and saw that it was Zhang Yue, he quickly rubbed his eyes, poured hot tea and handed it to Zhang Yue, and then reported: "Young master, just now Liu Dashuai sent someone to send a roll of quilts, and the two of them carried it to the inner room, saying that it is hot during the day but cold at night, and it can warm the bed." ”

Zhang Yue originally thought that Niu Dare would say what kind of woman he was sending, but when he heard Niu Dare say that it was a quilt, he was holding a tea cup and drinking tea, and he suddenly choked and squirted, and then coughed again and again. Seeing that Niu Dare hurriedly stepped forward to take the teacup, and wanted to help Shunqi, he couldn't help but point to this overly honest guy and scolded with a smile: "In the future, you should pay attention to others sending things in, quilt, you go in and take a look, is that a quilt?" ”

"Not a quilt?"

Niu Dare was suddenly frightened, left Zhang Yue and opened the curtain and slipped into the room. After a while, there was an exclamation from inside, and then the tall and sturdy man escaped as if he had seen a ghost, his face was full of embarrassment, and he even stammered when he spoke: "Quilted...... There's a ...... in the quilt There was a woman ......"

At this moment, Zhang Yue was angry and funny, but he didn't bother to reason with him, and opened the green bamboo curtain to the inside. I saw that the woman on the bed was rolled up by a tied quilt, and only one head was exposed. The author has a darker complexion, but she is born with better skin than snow, apricot face and peach cheeks, and her eyebrows and eyes are very charming. Only at this moment, there was still a gag cloth in his mouth, and although his eyes were calm, there was a trace of panic that could not be concealed. At this moment, he couldn't help but be angry.

Liu Sheng really did it thoroughly, did this make him overlord hard?

"Stubborn cow, you come in for me!"

As soon as Zhang Yue screamed, Niu Dare immediately rushed into the house. It's just that he looked at the woman on the bed uneasily, and then snorted: "Young master, you forgot, you asked people to choose a few of us, and I have already married a daughter-in-law......"

"Who asked you this!"

Zhang Yue now only regrets that he didn't leave Peng Shisan's rough face and cunning heart in the room to watch today, so he caused such a big trouble, so when he heard this, he only felt that his head was bigger, and immediately whispered a few words to Niu Dare in anger. Although he was a little reluctant, Niu Dare still hesitated to step forward and take off the gag cloth from the woman's mouth, but the person stood there and did not move, and the right hand hanging by his side also trembled slightly, but it was for Zhang Yue's order, and when he saw someone shouting, he started to knock people unconscious.

However, when the gag was removed, the woman did not shout, but just bit her lip and looked at Zhang Yue. After being silent for a while, she suddenly asked, "Dare to ask, but the second son of the British duke, Lord Zhang Yuanjie?"

Seeing that she calmed down in a moment, Zhang Yue felt puzzled, and immediately asked, "Not bad." What's your name and where are you from? ”

Seeing that Zhang Yue and Yan Yuese, as the two people who brought them over at the beginning said, they were by no means as vicious as the officers and soldiers, the woman on the bed replied calmly: "The people's daughter Nguyen Clan, from Hue Mansion." ”

Jiao Lu has many surnames Chen, Ruan, and Li, so when he heard that her surname was Ruan and she was from Hue Province, Zhang Yue knew that she must be a local friend. It's just that the Chinese that he speaks very well with a Northland accent still makes him frown slightly. Just as he was about to interrogate him a few more words, the Ruan suddenly spoke.

"The folk girl once heard someone mention Lord Zhang, and I know that you are discerning and benevolent, and I ask you to forgive my brother! Although he used to make firearms for rebellion, he was only coerced, and he didn't really work for rebellion! ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened her mouth, she was pleading, Zhang Yue couldn't help but be taken aback. After the successful recovery of Hue Province, according to Zhu Zhanji's approval before, Liu Sheng will not blame the common people for the past, and punish the rebellious rebels according to their military positions, and those rebellious craftsmen will also be detained in different categories, some will be taken into the interior as slaves, some will be castrated and sent to Beijing, and some will be beheaded on the spot. Zhang Yue was originally not going to pay attention to such a plea, but when he heard the word firearm, he immediately fell in mind.

"What's your brother's name?"

Ruan's originally just pleaded with a glimmer of hope, but when Zhang Yue asked, she immediately knew that this life-saving straw was right, and hurriedly explained: "My lord, the brother of the people's daughter is surnamed Ruan Mingqin, and he made a magic spear, and my family was arrested by rebellion." Because someone came out and said that the spears in the army were all made by him under his supervision, and he was still the first Chen Tianbao to take refuge with his family, so those military masters condemned him to death! Please be clear, the ancestral tradition of the people's family is to make firearms, and many crafts are passed from outside, and they have always kept to themselves, and they have no heart for the Celestial Empire. ”

"Say no more!"

Zhang Yue remembered that when he conquered Hue Mansion before, he did find that the thief army was equipped with a lot of firearms, and according to Liu Sheng, the power was far greater than that of the Annan spear in the past, and his heart couldn't help but be moved. He still remembered that after the defeat of Annan, Hu Yuancheng, the brother of the puppet emperor Hu Hancang of the Hu Dynasty, that is, Li Cheng was appointed by Zhu Di to supervise the manufacture of firearms because he was good at firearms. However, if it is true or false, you have to send someone to find out first, otherwise you will not be deceived?

Green Lake Mu Wangfu.

The lily incense was burning in the silver incense furnace of the entwined peony in the room, and the flame of the South China Sea honey candle on the candlestick was beating, reflecting the light of Mrs. Cheng's brocade clothes and clothes more dazzling. It was about the time of the Chinese New Year, and she was wearing a new cardigan with a new gold makeup satin cloud goose pattern pattern, a narrow sleeve skirt in agarwood color, and a sapphire butterfly hairpin on the crown of the golden beam, which looked more and more graceful and luxurious. However, with neat makeup, she was wiping her face with a silk handkerchief while talking, and her eyes were red.

Fang Shuixin on the opposite side is much more frugal in makeup, although after living in Mu Wangfu, in addition to not being free to enter and exit, there is no shortage of food and clothing, jewelry and clothes are all a set of good sets of good clothes, but she has never paid attention to these, and she has no intention of modifying any face. Although he is only twenty-four or five years old, he looks older than Mrs. Cheng. At this moment, she didn't even notice the brilliance of the jewels under the light, and was completely shocked by the news that was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.

"He's really dead...... Impossible, he has always turned evil into good fortune, how could he die! ”

"Sister, this is a message specially sent from Jiaoluan, what am I lying to you about!" Mrs. Cheng instinctively lowered her head and turned around, and then said in a muffled voice, "I really can't bear to let my sister go with the child like this, so the old man specially sent someone to send a letter to Yang Wubo, but who knew that it was just in time for him to die...... I heard that Yang Wubo heard the news of your departure, and immediately vomited blood, and before leaving, he said that he was sorry for you and the child, and he should not have taken you back to Beijing in the first place, and he would not have harmed you. He also said that when he met you in this life, he had already married a wife, and there was no other way, but he hoped that when he met you in the next life, he would not marry, and you would not marry......"

"He really said that......"

Fang Shuixin had no intention of listening to Mrs. Cheng anymore, his eyes were full of tears, his right hand clenched the handkerchief, and his left hand unconsciously grabbed the splendid cushion under him. After saving him, I watched him speak calmly, not at all like the men in the tribe who were reckless; Seeing his strong martial arts, he has never seen anything he can talk about; Watching him sit indifferently in front of his father, his face was radiant...... A heart fell into it like that, and I didn't expect that the life I thought would end up like that. When she left the capital this time, she had already thought about raising the child alone, and she would never see the man again until she died, but the child would have no father, but he was dead, and he still remembered her before he died!

"Sister, don't be too sad, you mother and son live here. Although Yang Wubo is not here, my master will definitely treat the child as his own, and he will never be wronged! ”

Seeing that Fang Shuixin was depressed, Mrs. Cheng knew that the play was enough, and after a long sigh, she was relieved, and found that the person did not react at all, so she got up and went out. When she got outside, she gathered all the girls who served here, and said lightly: "Now that she is in a bad mood, you all stay away, don't disturb her." Remember, you must not be told not to go in. No matter what big moves there are, I'll talk back first, don't make your own decisions! ”

"Yes."

When he got out of this side courtyard, Mrs. Cheng pressed his chest and inhaled deeply, as if he wanted to expel all the pretentiousness just now. The maid and the maid who were waiting outside hurriedly came forward and hugged her from the mezzanine, but she didn't pay attention to this, just bent her fingers and counted the day when Zhang You and his party arrived.

In order to be safe, she first let Fang Shuixin notice the girl's whispering, and then let a "kind" mother-in-law reveal her style in front of her, and then gave Fang Shuixin the attitude of Mangshi Toast, as if she couldn't resist her pleas, and confided in those "last words" in desperation. As soon as she noticed the woman burst into tears, she knew that it had all been done.

It's just that at this moment, her heart was twitching violently, and her feet were a little weak!

"Madame, it doesn't matter to you, do you?"

A mother next to her came up to help, and Mrs. Cheng leaned on her hand, still walking forward silently, saying to herself in her heart that it was most appropriate for her to do this. The Zhang family even did the funeral, and the Mangshi Tusi made it clear that he would not take in this cousin, even if Zhang Youzhen arrived here, it would be impossible to recollect it, it would be better to be a hundred now, maybe that child would have a good future. Around the corner, she finally shook off her mother's hand, and her feet became brisk.

Instead of living with a lifetime of hatred, it is better to die with that trace of love that can't be hidden!

Mrs. Cheng didn't know how long she had been gone, but Fang Shuixin was still dumbfounded. It took a long time for her to come back to her senses, and she stiffened her head to look at the things in the room. Those stools, books and paintings, in front of her eyes, seemed to be transformed into those things in her own room when she was in the capital - Zhang You gave her a lot of things, although she didn't understand and didn't know the good or bad, she was still happy every time she accepted it. As long as he was by her side, she felt that the rules of the mansion door could still be held, and she felt that there was still hope in her heart. However, he was gone after all, and he had not heard from her for so many years.

However, it turned out that he had been gone for many years, and he still missed her! At the beginning, she said in front of him that she would live and die together, and now that he has gone, what does it mean for her to live alone? The son is his, and he has Mu Wangfu to take care of him, he will definitely be a man who stands up to the sky and the earth in the future, whether she is there or not, she can go with him, she should go with him......

Fang Shuixin stood up with his own support, stumbled to the cabinet in the corner, and opened the door with force. With so much force, the drawer fell to the ground with a bang, and the scimitar fell to the ground with a thud, knocking off the two gems set on it. She didn't care about the two gems that didn't know where they were rolling, she picked up the knife and gently rubbed the black scabbard, as if she remembered Abba's words

"A man is a knife, a woman is a scabbard!"

The knife is gone, what else do you need to do with the scabbard!

Slowly pulling out the scimitar, Fang Shuixin's gaze completely fell into the bright sword light. As soon as she entered the wealthy family, this knife never came out of the sheath again, but when she left the wealthy family, in order to protect herself and her children, she used it to overcome obstacles along the way, and then she successfully found Mu Wangfu. Now, the knife has a new purpose.

She gently ran her fingers over the blade, slowly closed her eyes, and suddenly pulled it her neck without hesitation. When the scimitar clanged to the ground, although there was a bloody light in front of her eyes, it seemed that the scene of the first time she saw the peach forest appeared again.

In that pink falling color, the best memories of her life will always be hidden.
