157 The matter of taking concubines

Zhang Yan originally wanted to stay in Pengcheng and use his modern wisdom to create something practical and advanced in this era, but he didn't know that he had just returned to Pengcheng and hadn't even seen his wife, so he was going to step on a war horse and go to Jiangdong.

Xuzhou is worthy of being the place of the four wars, the war with Cao Cao here has just been understood, and there is no time to take a break from the soldiers and horses, and there is going to the battlefield again, and there is no chance to take a breather.

Mi Zhen heard that Zhang Yan was back, and waited in the room early, for this reason, she also took a special bath and changed clothes, and dressed up carefully.

Women are the ones who please themselves, Mi Zhen has just tasted the sweetness of being a wife, but Zhang Yan always fights everywhere, and often can't see each other for more than a month, which also makes her miss it.

In addition to dressing herself up carefully, Mi Zhen also decorated their room, which looked very warm. She waited quietly in the room, waiting for her husband to return.

Zhang Yan quickly came to the back hall from the front hall, walked directly to his room, and before he opened the door, he could smell the aroma coming from the room, which invaded his heart and spleen, and made people feel refreshed after smelling.

Although he can't say what kind of aroma it is, Zhang Yan likes to smell it. He pushed open the door and saw that the room was covered with curtains, and there was a large steaming wooden barrel beside the bed, which was filled with hot water, and the water was sprinkled with flower petals, and his beloved wife Mizhen was sitting on the edge of the bed.

Seeing that Zhang Yan was back, Mi Zhen immediately stood up from the bed, walked directly to Zhang Yan, grabbed Zhang Yan's hand, and said angrily: "Husband, you have finally come back, and you have been out for so many days." I'm tired. Hurry up and take off your clothes. Let me serve you in the shower and change your clothes! ”

Seeing that Mi Zhen was so enthusiastic, Zhang Yan closed the door of the room with his hand, then took off his clothes and walked into the big wooden barrel naked.

The water temperature is just right, and after soaking in, it is much more comfortable.

To be honest, after being away on the expedition for so long, Zhang Yan has taken three baths. And only once was it a hot bath, or after Na Diao Chan became a concubine.

When fighting, where can you enjoy this kind of treatment, most of them are camped in the wild, and the soldiers are also sleeping in the open, and he has long been accustomed to a life of peace with what happens, and the life in the military is perfect for him, a person who has been a mercenary.

However, there are some differences. When he was a mercenary, he was alone. Loneliness, loneliness, and coldness are his truest feelings, sometimes he needs to survive alone in the wild for a long time, and when he is fine, he always likes to talk to the rocks.

And when there is a war, there are so many people gathered together, so it will be very lively. At the very least, one doesn't have to worry about no one talking.

Zhang Yan soaked in this warm and comfortable water, and his whole body was much more comfortable. At this time, Mi Zhen put her little hand into the wooden bucket again, and took a cloth to wipe the mud on Zhang Yan's body.

As a result, the water that was originally clear and Lingling soon became turbid, which shows how thick the soil on Zhang Yan's body is.

"Husband, are you comfortable?" Mi Zhen asked.

Zhang Yan nodded and said, "Madame is very comfortable to serve, but it's just hard madam......

"It's okay, I'll serve you now, and you can serve me later......" Mi Zhen grinned.

Zhang Yan didn't hear the meaning of the words, leaned on the wooden barrel, and let Mi Zhen wipe his body for him, which was a pleasure!

After a while, Mi Zhen was a little tired, but she still insisted on wiping every part of Zhang Yan's body, and in addition, she also asked the maid to boil hot water, ready to change the water for Zhang Yan at any time.

After taking a bath, Zhang Yan's whole body was relaxed, and looking at Mi Zhen, who was tired and panting, he kissed her on the cheek, which was regarded as a reward.

Zhang Yan didn't put on any more clothes, but directly picked up Mi Zhen and walked to the bedside, saying as he walked: "Madame, I'll give you a full body massage in a while to relieve your fatigue, okay?" ”

"Hmm." Mi Zhen didn't know what massage meant, but since Zhang Yan demonstrated it to her once, she fell in love with massage, and the feeling of relaxing muscles and relieving bones made her unforgettable.

Mi Zhen was lying on the bed, Zhang Yan sat naked next to Mi Zhen, and while massaging Mi Zhen with both hands, he asked, "Madam, can I ask you one thing?" ”

"What's the matter?"

"What if...... I mean, if ...... is a hypothesis, not a real ......"

"Oh, I know, husband, hurry up!"

Zhang Yan asked tentatively: "If I want to take a concubine, I don't know if you will agree?" ”

"Concubine?" Mi Zhen was suddenly stunned, got up directly from the bed, sat in front of Zhang Yan, and asked with a confused face: "Do you want to take a concubine?" ”

Zhang Yan saw that Mi Zhen's face was wrong, so he smiled and said, "I just asked casually, I didn't mean anything else!" ”

Mi Zhen's eyes looked directly at Zhang Yan, and she couldn't take her eyes off it, and asked rhetorically, "Don't you mean anything else?" You're going to take a concubine, and you say you don't mean anything else? We have just gotten married, and we are still newlyweds, and we haven't been together for long, so you're going to take a concubine? ”

"Madam, don't get me wrong, I'm just asking, not really asking for a concubine."

Seeing Mi Zhen's strong reaction, Zhang Yan immediately dismissed the plan to take Diao Chan home, his wife disagreed, this concubine can't be taken home casually, it's safer to keep it outside.

"Well, madam, massage, let's massage, don't mention the matter of taking a concubine, I just asked casually."

After that, Zhang Yan stopped mentioning the matter of taking a concubine, and concentrated on massaging Mi Zhen, and after that, the two couples who had not seen each other for a long time were naturally dry firewood, and they caught fire at one point.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, Zhang Yan got up early in the morning, Mi Zhen also got up early, and the two of them began to dress up.

Last night, Zhang Yan informed Mi Zhen that he was going to Jiangdong today, and after a short reunion, the two were going to separate, although Mi Zhen was a little reluctant, but he was helpless.

When Mi Zhen was dressing Zhang Yan, she suddenly said: "If you really want to take a concubine, you can accept it." However, even if you want to take a concubine, it's not at this time, we have just gotten married, and if you want to take a concubine now, isn't it indirectly telling others that I am not attractive enough to you? Wait a little longer, when I become pregnant with your flesh and blood, you can take a concubine again! ”

Zhang Yan suddenly heard Mi Zhen's words, but he felt a sense of relief, but he didn't expect Mi Zhen to not reject his idea of taking a concubine, which made him a little surprised.

He clearly remembered that when he talked to Mi Zhen about taking a concubine yesterday, Mi Zhen's face was displeased, why did Mi Zhen's mind change just after one night?

However, Mi Zhen also said very clearly, she can agree to Zhang Yan's concubine, but it must be after Mi Zhen is pregnant. But now that he and Mi Zhen are getting together less and leaving more, when will Mi Zhen get pregnant?

Then again, he has already taken a concubine, even if Mi Zhen does not agree, it will be useless, he can hide this concubine elsewhere. Perhaps, Mi Zhen also thinks so, since she can't stop it, it's better to comply with Zhang Yan's wishes, and at the same time give a condition, so that Zhang Yan will not think that she is an arrogant person.

"Let's talk about concubines later!" Zhang Yan got dressed and said lightly.

Subsequently, Zhang Yan came to the school field, Tai Shici had already ordered 5,000 soldiers and horses on the school field, these 5,000 people are all veterans of Xuzhou, they can fight habitually, and they are many times stronger than those recruits.

After Zhang Yan saw these elite soldiers, he summoned Tai Shi Ci and asked Tai Shi Ci to replace the soldiers who followed the expedition, bringing only 1,000 such elite soldiers, and the other 4,000 were all filled by new soldiers.

The reason for this arrangement is to give the recruits a chance to exercise, and only in this way can these recruits grow steadily.

Moreover, this time he went to Jiangdong to support, and there was no need to bring so many elite soldiers at all. Moreover, according to his understanding of history, there are less than 1,000 real elite soldiers in the soldiers and horses led by Sun Ce, and the rest of the soldiers and horses are all recruited and used.

Although Tai Shici didn't understand what Zhang Yan meant by doing this, he still complied. After that, Zhang Yan sent someone to the granary to ask Chen Qun for grain.

Chen Qun had already prepared the food and was just waiting for Zhang Yan to pick it up. The soldiers carried all the grain trucks to the Surabaya River, then loaded them onto boats and transported them by water.

Not only that, Zhang Yan's march also took the waterway and went down the river, but it was much faster than taking the land route. After arriving at the Huai River, we will take the land route again to reach Jiangdu.

At this time, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal had not yet been opened, otherwise, Zhang Yan would have been able to take a boat and reach the Yangtze River directly. This huge water conservancy project can only be a temporary assumption, and when there is no war in Xuzhou, the people will be mobilized to dig and connect these water systems, so that the water transportation will be smoother and smoother.

Before leaving, Zhang Yan went to visit Diao Chan again, and he prepared a maid and a family for Diao Chan, and left some money for Diao Chan to use.

If this time it was not to fight, but to travel, Zhang Yan would definitely bring Diao Chan, and if Mi Zhen and Diao Chan could live in peace, he would bring both.

But unfortunately, this time I went to war, not tourism, although there are great rivers and mountains, but there is no way to appreciate it.

On this expedition, Zhang Yan still took Zhang Hong as his military advisor and Tai Shici as the vanguard, leading 5,000 soldiers and horses to Jiangdong.

A few days later, Zhang Yan, Tai Shici, Zhang Hong and others arrived in Jiangdu, and Jiangdu Ling received Zhang Yan's order early, and he had already prepared everything, and it was a banquet to welcome Zhang Yan and others into Jiangdu City.

Although Zhang Yan arrived, it was a pity that Mi Zhu's money had not yet arrived, and without military salary, he would not have crossed the Yangtze River.

During this period, Zhang Yan was wandering around the Jiangdu City, and at the same time sent people across the river to inquire about the news, and learned that Liu Miao and Chen Deng were still in Moling City, and Sun Ce was resting the army at this time, so he was relieved.

Two days later, the military pay sent by Mi Zhu arrived, and after Zhang Yan accepted the inspection, he took the military salary, grain and grass, and with the assistance of Jiang Duling, successfully crossed the Yangtze River, directly arrived at Dantu, and officially stepped into the ground of Jiangdong.

As soon as he entered the ground in Jiangdong, Zhang Yan secretly thought: "Little Overlord, Lao Tzu is here, you should go back too, right?" (To be continued......)
