Chapter 309: Zhao Qian, Sun Li
Within a few days, the dowry of the eight families was delivered to the Li family at the same moment, and the scene was really noisy, with gold beads listed, and all the teams were crowded in the alley, and for a while it was impossible to distinguish whose family was whose house.
The eight matchmakers in the lead rushed into the courtyard, everyone knew that the Li family and husband were not harmonious, but they were afraid of offending one side, so each family prepared two pairs of gift cards, one for Li Gui and one for the Bian family.
Especially when I learned that there were many competitors, the two daughters of the Li family were very talented, and they were full of flowers written on the post, and they refused to be the same, coincidentally the surnames of the eight gifts were connected together, and the first two sentences of the surnames of the hundred families were "Zhao Qiansun Li, Zhou Wu Zheng Wang".
After Xu Wen, who was far away in the countryside, heard about the twins, he said with envy and disdain: "The third child is really pedantic, and he can't even put a maid on the table." It's a pity, it only costs some silver, and the pair of money-greedy parents don't obediently give their daughter's hands? β
Wang Yu said with a smile: "Whatever, in the future, the younger one will also pay attention to the twin sisters of the young master, and he can't offend the third young master for this." By the way, if you can make meritorious service this time, you will definitely be reinstated, and maybe you can go to the next level. β
Xu Wen's face sank, looked at the gradually maturing crops in the fields, and said: "This time, the imperial court is surrounded by many roads, and I heard that General Geng alone has more than 100,000 troops all the way, and how many people are there in the entire Beiping?" Lao Tzu will not charge forward stupidly, and give his life in vain, so he has to hide from afar. β
In the past few days, because Xu Wen has occupied the Ming family and others, and his wife Lamei is in the city again, Wang Yu has to do everything secretly, and he can't wait for Xu Wen to die on the battlefield immediately, so that Xu Hai, the only remaining concubine in the long house, is still young, and who else can he expect if his wife does not rely on foreign affairs?
However, this idea is also to think about it occasionally, to be honest, Wang Yu knows that if the eldest young master dies, he will not be better in the future. The Xu family still has the real pillar Xu Hao, in case the long house is under the control of the second room, it will be terrible, just relying on the snort of the old enemy Li Qiu everywhere, Wang Yu feels unbearable.
Suddenly, the Yu clan walked over quickly and said, "Li Huzi is back, and I heard that he will leave for the Yanwang camp the day after tomorrow." β
Xu Wenyin smiled: "It's best to be killed this time, and I will laugh at his daughter-in-law as a concubine." β
The Qi clan said jealously: "Li Huzi is born with divine power and strong martial arts, but he is not so easy to die. Now they have been promoted to Xiaoqi and become a captain, and they are majestic. β
"Phew! Lao Tzu has also done a thousand households, what's the big deal? Xu Wen looked proud, "Even if he becomes a general in the future, his daughter-in-law will be enjoyed by Lao Tzu for many days, this is called the green-headed general." Ha ha! β
This unintentional remark immediately hurt Wang Yu and the Xun family, one had a green head on his head, and the other wore a green turban for his husband, although he didn't take it too seriously. But if you don't hit someone in the face, you are secretly annoyed in your heart.
But it was said that Li Huzi returned to his hometown in a new military uniform, but it was a pity that if he had taken the moon earlier, he would have died happily to his wife, and then abandoned the wild man and lived a good life as a military attache with his husband wholeheartedly. However, now Li Niangzi has fornicated with two men in a row. That thing has been done at least one hundred and eighty times, and in recent days, he has become more and more prodigal, blatantly taking turns with several women to accompany Xu Wen and Hu Tianhudi, and occasionally taking advantage of the gap to secretly fight with Wang Yu. I have received a lot of all kinds of good-looking clothes and jewelry, even if my husband is a military attachΓ©, how can I compare with the Xu family, who are relatives of the emperor? I was reluctant to turn back.
Li Huzi got a reward and bought a lot of good things, and he didn't want his wife to react lightly. It's not like I'm pleasantly surprised.
The well-dressed Li Niangzi was afraid that her husband would be suspicious, so she whispered: "I picked up the silver of the big official, so I used the remaining money of our family to buy some fat powder silver hairpins." β
After speaking, he took it out of the cabinet and showed it to Li Huzi, and on the outside was a half-new sweat towel and silk bag, and the sweat towel was tied with a pair of black silver picks and a sachet, and when I opened it, I saw that there were eight or nine taels of silver.
Li Huzi said: "People have lost things, we have to return them quickly, our family is a poor military household, and there is so much extra money out of thin air, once it is discovered, won't it have to be sent to the government?" β
Without waiting for his wife to care, he directly returned the silver and even the sweat towel to Xu Wen, and said plainly: "My daughter-in-law picked it up." β
Xu Wen sighed in his heart, he could have taken the opportunity to blame why half of the silver was missing, and forcibly rectifying Li Huzi half dead, and then filling the army far away, but unfortunately he is now a captain, and this trick is obviously not working.
At that moment, Xu Wen pretended to thank him, and wanted to take out half of the silver to thank the Li family, Li Huzi said: "I was born not to take advantage of others, and I am already grateful to have your family take care of Jing in the past few months. β
The next day, Xu Wen used this as an excuse to send Wang Yu a few horses of summer cloth and two pieces of silk, Li Niangzi couldn't put down the silk, and even said that she could wear silk and satin, and she would definitely look better than the daughter-in-law of the Xu family, and accepted it despite her husband's opposition.
Li Huzi thought about it and didn't object, just send a return gift in the future, but he didn't know that his wife and others partnered to make a scene, what he wanted was to be able to dress and wear good jewelry openly, and there was no need to hide and be afraid.
Looking at his wife humming a little song and standing in front of the bronze mirror and turning over and over the satin, Li Huzi was a little puzzled, why did his wife seem to be a different person?
After noon, it was drizzling, and Li Huzi was called by his boss to go out to eat and drink, and Li Niangzi sent him to Zhuangzikou.
When I came back, I saw Sister-in-law Liu and several other daughters-in-law chatting under the eaves from a distance, and turned around and slipped into Xu Wen's room.
When the Mao family came out of the thatched house, he saw Wang Yu lying by the window peeping with relish, walked over and lifted the curtain with one hand, and saw Li Niangzi lying naked on the spring bench, and Xu Wen was doing that unsightly trick.
Li Niangzi was shocked to see someone coming, and she was really frightened, and when she saw that it was the Qi family, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to squint her eyes and let the big officials do their bidding.
After watching it for a long time, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional, so he turned around and went out, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in the yard, he took Wang Yu and ran to the wing room to satisfy his hunger.
Later, Sister-in-law Liu also slipped in, and when she saw the Li Niangzi who was playing with no one in the house, she said angrily: "When your man comes home, I will tell him that you will come to hook up with a man in broad daylight." β
Li Niangzi lay on the spring bench with full double peaks undulating waves, screaming again and again, panting and shouting: "You have to talk to him, and I will also talk to my brothers-in-law." So that no one can make a problem. β
Sister-in-law Liu sneered: "Even if you go and say it, our men can't take care of our affairs, who is afraid that you will sue?" Your daughter-in-law is raising her own master's family, and she can't ask what kind of crime she is, can you compare with us? β
Li Niangzi thought about it and said with a smile: "You are not afraid that I will say to your man, then I will say to my man, saying that you took the lead in the partnership, and led me to the big officials to be used, and I can't survive, and my man can't spare you." Let you fight for life. β
Sister-in-law Liu was like a female cat whose tail had been stepped on, and shouted angrily: "Young master, look, isn't this a night offender, but a night patrol?" I said don't fool around with her, sooner or later no one will be able to please her. β
"Let's have fun together." Xu Wen, who didn't take it seriously, pulled out with a smile, held up the wet things underneath, stepped forward and grabbed Liu's sister-in-law's hand, and pulled the two women to the bedroom to be disposed of.
Xu Wen pressed Liu's sister-in-law who had just entered the alley, and the Yu family, who had finished her work in a hurry, walked in, and was about to go out when she saw this scene. Xu Wen asked Li Niangzi to run over and grab her, dragged her to the couch and stripped the three women to the point that they couldn't reach an inch, and the four of them became Tongjia from then on. This hot scene made Wang Yuzhen outside really fascinated, and vowed to be so happy again.
At the same time in the capital. Zhu Yunwen remembered Cheng Ji in Sichuan, who had predicted the rise of King Yan, this was the second person after Ye Boju, who predicted the rebellion of the kings, when Zhu Yunwen was afraid of being seen through by the subjects of the world, so he had to order Cheng Ji to be put on death row. At one point, he even wanted to give an order to kill him.
Zhu Yunwen thought that Cheng Ji saw through the rebellion of King Yan in advance, and he had a long-term vision, and even calculated the date of the army almost completely correctly. Proficient in mathematical calculations, with real talent and practical learning, now the imperial court will go out to the Northern Expedition, and every qiΔ has been clarified, so he ordered to appoint Cheng Ji as the editor of Hanlin, and Xu took the position of military advisor to accompany Geng Bingwen on the expedition.
As soon as Cheng Ji took office, he asked to show weakness to the enemy, claiming to mobilize 130,000 soldiers from various places, in fact, there were as many as 100,000 cavalry and infantry led by Wu Jie, Marquis of Anlu, and Xu Kai, the governor of Hebei, led 100,000 local men and horses to gather in Zhending Mansion in advance.
Geng Bingwen's Chinese army of 80,000 people is the so-called elite division of the Gongwei Jing Division, Huaiyin Marquis Wu Gao and the general soldier Yang Wen led 40,000 Liaodong iron cavalry into Shanhaiguan, plus the total strength of various military horses exceeded 300,000.
After the army marched all the way into Hebei, Cheng Ji suggested: "We should send generals to the surrounding important places to take care of our Chinese army." β
Geng Bingwen, 65 years old this year, frowned slightly after hearing this, the army formed in just 20 days was in a hurry and lacked communication, he didn't even know where the generals of all sides were now, but the imperial court issued an order to demand and attack, and for several days he kept sending people to urge the rebellion to be quelled as soon as possible, but how could the commander act rashly and rashly before he found out the truth of the enemy?
There is nothing wrong with the construction of the process, he should first stabilize his position, and then command the army to fight when he has a full picture of it, and he said in a deep voice: "Order Xu Dudu to lead the army into Hejian, and the two generals Pan Zhong and Yang Song will lead their headquarters into Yanzhou, so that their vanguard light cavalry will enter Xiongxian County, and send scouts to inquire about the news." Well! The Chinese army camp was set up in Zhending, and Pegasus conveyed military orders to all the generals and immediately reported their location. β
Cheng Ji smiled and nodded, very satisfied that the marshal obeyed his words, and said with a smile: "With only 350,000 rebels, how can it be the opponent of the 300,000 army of the imperial court?" In a few days, the wind will fall, and the ashes will be wiped out. β
Geng Bingwen glanced at the other party, and secretly said that he was purely a poor scholar who didn't know how to pretend to understand, and he was afraid that this time he would be in trouble.
Thinking of the emperor's indecisiveness, Geng Bingwen couldn't help but feel a deep headache, since he wanted to cut the domain, why didn't he want to leave a bad name? You have to have both. When the two armies wanted to fight to the death, they also had to tell the whole army not to kill King Yan, which can be described as tying up their hands and feet.
The old Geng Bingwen has long lost his former sharpness, and now that the courtiers are in power, while beware of the vassal king, he is quietly suppressing the authority of the nobles and warriors, if it weren't for the rebellion of King Yan, he would have resigned and gone home.
Can't let King Yan die unexpectedly, Geng Bingwen once again reminded himself that he must not give the court an excuse to turn his face against the family in the future, God knows if the benevolent and righteous Emperor Jianwen will learn from his grandfather after the birds are exhausted?
In addition, if this battle is won and Beiping is wiped out in one fell swoop, there is no doubt that he will have to stand on the cusp of the storm and shake the fate of the master?
In this way, Geng Bingwen made up his mind not to seek merit but to seek no fault, as long as he could trap King Yan firmly in Beiping, and with the existence of people like Cheng Ji who were eager to succeed, it was not difficult for them to be dissatisfied and slander themselves, forcing the imperial court to change the commander.
Thinking of this, Geng Bingwen frowned and said: "Without the old man's military order, no one is allowed to invite the battle without authorization, and those who violate the order will be beheaded." β
Cheng Ji was stunned for a moment, and said unhappily: "How can you find out the deployment of the rebel army if you don't allow the vanguard to fight?" Is Dashuai too cautious? β
Geng Bingwen said in a deep voice: "The old man's order is like a mountain, and the reason for the decision cannot be changed by anyone. β
"You!" Cheng Ji turned around angrily and wrote a note overnight, accusing Geng Bingwen of being afraid of the enemy like a tiger and not thinking of making progress, so he ordered his confidant family to be sent to Beijing immediately. (To be continued......)
