Chapter 42: The Wanderer
Zhen Jiang gave birth to Yan Huan last year, and this year's concubine Zhen's second daughter Zhen Tuo is also pregnant, but the third daughter Zhen Dao is still young and innocent, and she cheers in the former general's mansion in the name of Yan's concubine, like Yanbei's sister, which is endearing.
It's just that Zhen Jiang sent her to ask, what to do with the beauty sent by Liu Bao? Yan Bei frowned, and took it for granted that the 'placement' in Zhen Dao's mouth was 'disposal'.
"What should Yan do?"
"It's not disposal, it's placement!" Zhen Dao nodded his head and accentuated his tone, spread his hands helplessly, and said with a smile: "Sister can't care about your beauty, she sent me to tell you that this beauty can't be given to others!" ”
It's not that Yanbei hasn't done such a thing, since the beginning of the division of Liaodong, Yanbei has been forging ahead, whether it is money or beauty, it is regarded as something outside the body, except for striving for the Zhen family, there is no more desire and thirst. Whether it is Dongyi Goguryeo Sanhan, Xianbei Beiyu, or even those horse bandits and bandits under his command who are good at drilling camps, they have never stopped paying tribute to Xiangping beauties in previous years, and sent them to the mansion together with those goods.
Yan Bei has never seen it, what gold, silver and jade bi turned his head and let people put it in the treasury; The beauty is excellent, and it will be given to the meritorious soldiers in a blink of an eye.
He had always known exactly what he wanted, and even in the days when Gongsun Chan was a little slack, his body and mind were a little slack, these old rules did not change.
Don't say it's a beauty sent by Liu Bao, even the warrior that Yang Feng gave to him, Yanbei hasn't seen it yet. He originally planned to see Xu Huang under Yang Feng in a few days, since he said that he was a warrior, he was assigned to Dian Wei's subordinates to listen to it, as for Liu Bao's beauty, he didn't want to see it at all, and the beauties who have always paid tribute from all over the country are sent to the back house arranged by Zhen Jiang, and they stay in the house as a maid or raise them in the Wule Mansion, and give them to others when they find the right time.
But now, hearing that Zhen Jiang specially asked Zhen Dao to hand him such a sentence, it made Yan Bei interested, and asked with a smile: "What, what's so special about her?" ”
"It's really a beauty, Sister is afraid that the former general will be reluctant to give it away!" Zhen Dao's quirky face had a narrow smile, as if he wanted to see Yanbei make a fool of himself, as if Xiao Langjun was commenting on a beautiful woman, and said with an aftertaste: "It's much more beautiful than the ten 'beauties' with steamed cake faces sent by Goguryeo last year, and it's rare to be virtuous and gentle, brother-in-law!" ”
Zhen Dao is a girl, not to mention that the entire former general's mansion spoils her, and she is also open-mouthed when she jokes, even though she is a concubine, she calls Yanbei a former general, brother-in-law, and a prince. Yan Bei didn't have the same knowledge as her, and said with a smile: "Steamed cake face? It's not the right thing to look better than them, if you don't give it to others, how does Ah Miao plan to place it? ”
Yan Bei didn't think about the matter of income in the inner house, the Zhen family and five daughters have already allowed him to enjoy the blessings of all people, not to mention that there are two female babies who have just turned ten years old, and the clan is enough, and he doesn't have the energy to take care of it no matter how many women there are...... The debauchery of the first emperor is still talked about today, and Yanbei does not want to leave the same evaluation after a hundred years, he just wants to be able to re-heal the divided world by himself in his lifetime.
"is also an outcast, Sister wants her to be a companion in the inner house, and she will never insult her brother-in-law's identity." Speaking of this, Zhen Dao actually sighed and said, "If it weren't for the Bingzhou Situ who jumped out of the city in Chang'an and died, this sister would have been able to inherit the title as a female countryman, after the two thousand stone silver seal!" ”
Compared with Zhen Dao's fuss about such a background, Yan Bei was not a little surprised at all, and pouted: "When the capital was moved, I don't know how many people died in the imperial court with two thousand stones, and I didn't just list a few generals with two thousand stones a few days ago, and our family is still a county marquis, so I don't see you making such a fuss." When the four states are settled, your brother will be the marquis and the Zhen family will not be a big deal. ”
"Don't care about these false names." Yan Bei laughed after speaking, knocked Zhen Dao's little head, took a step and walked towards the back house of the former general's mansion, and after taking two steps, he heard Zhen Dao follow up and whispered: "Look, look, I'm about to go inside, I'm not tempted yet." ”
Yanbei glanced at Zhen Dao angrily, and paused before saying: "You will go back later, send someone to the treasury of Jixian County to get the good fox Qiu brocade robe paid by Sui Xianbei Suli and the big copper flow cloud pattern furnace paid tribute by Goguryeo, and send a rider to Guo Fengxiao, he is weak and can't stand the wind and cold, and he has been injured outside Guanjin City, let him take care of it this winter." ”
Zhen Dao wanted to talk to Yan Bei a few more words, but now that he saw that it was a serious matter, he hurriedly responded, and just as he was about to respond, he heard Yan Bei say: "Wait, forget it, you ask someone to pass the message, and send more things that can be used in the winter of the tribute in the treasury of Jixian County, and the humerus of the subordinates should be rewarded for preparing for winter, as well as the engagement of the Jizhou Mansion, the etiquette should be strong in the past year, and all aspects must be taken care of." ”
Last year, he was the pastor of Youzhou in Yanbei, and he and Gongsun Zan made every effort to prepare for the war, and he was extremely generous in rewarding the generals under his command. At the beginning of this year, Gongsun Zan was pacified, in addition to the big trouble of his henchmen, and Yuan Shao was driven away from Jizhou in the summer and autumn, and the land of Hebei was collected.
What's more, in the coming year, on the one hand, we will use a large number of troops to Qinghe and Erzhou, and on the other hand, we will stabilize the affairs of Youji Prefecture, and the rewards will not be able to give things outside the body, but they can warm the hearts of their subordinates, so why not.
"Don't worry, the concubine knows."
The affairs of the former general's mansion are the state affairs of the world, and she has been presided over by Zhen Tuo when she was not pregnant, but now that Zhen Tuo is pregnant, it will be Zhen Dao's turn to do these things. Zhen Dao sighed in his heart, in a few days, something will be delivered, she, the concubine of the Yan family, is afraid that she will have to go to the homes of those generals who are on an expedition to visit the ladies of the high hall, and even hold a banquet for them in the former general's mansion...... No one can be easy.
In fact, these things are still the wife Zhen Jiang is better at dancing. In the final analysis, Zhen Jiang grew up in the years of Zhen's generosity, and he is more or less a county family. Although it is nothing in the world, the etiquette that nobles should have is still known, but the daughters of the Zhen family, like Zhen Dao and below, grew up in the frightened displacement of the clan, and they were more vulgar and less aristocratic.
As for Yanbei, it is even more unexpected, even if the Yan clan represents the most powerful nobleman today, with countless wealth and boundless warriors to serve. Others often mention this name with respect and fear, but Zhen Dao, the most lively pillow person, how can he not know that the famous former general, the Marquis of Xiangping, sitting in the banquet hall of the General's Mansion, is full of uncomfortable faces, and he prefers the military tent that covers the sky and the ground like the Saiwaihu people and the campfire like the stars, and the soldiers sing and dance with warriors.
This is only related to heroism, but it has nothing to do with the heritage.
Yan Beifang only walked into the inner house, and saw the warbler and the warbler Yan Yan sitting in columns, the strange and beautiful shadow in plain clothes in the pavilion lowered his head and stroked the piano, and the sad sound of the piano hit his ears. He suddenly slowed down, slowed down the cloister and stood still, listening to a discrete sound.
