Fenghou

Chapter 360 Yan Er
The next day when it was just dawn, Yu Lian and Yu Ying, who were sleeping in the outer room, woke up. They got up at this time every day, but today they hid under the quilt and did not dare to move. They heard the familiar sound coming from the inner room. the sound of.Yu Lian gestured three fingers quietly, but Yu Ying shook her head and gestured five fingers.

Yu Lian was stunned, Yu Ying pointed at her and made a sleeping posture,
Yu Lian understood, there were two more times when she was asleep, the two hid under the blanket and covered their mouths and started laughing.

After a while, the cloud and rain finally rested on the marriage bed, Lu Xiu limp on Ailang's body, eyes closed, still immersed in the blissful heavenly world.

Chen Qing kissed her lips, Lu Xiu slowly opened her eyes, hugged her husband's neck tightly and laughed softly: "I'm done, I like this feeling so much, what should I do?"

"Then do it again!"

"No! No! My whole body is falling apart. Let me rest for a day and come back at night."

Lu Xiu suddenly remembered something, pointed to the outside and said: "Those two girls must be eavesdropping!"

"Actually, it doesn't matter if they hear it, just get used to it, they have to live here, otherwise how would you get clothes in such a cold day?"

Lu Xiu felt discouraged after thinking about it. Today, she can no longer wear her wedding dress. She has to change all her clothes and take a bath. It's so cold outside, she doesn't know where Yu Lian put her clothes?

"Call them for me! I'm embarrassed."

Chen Qing coughed lightly, and there was the rustling sound of dressing outside, after a while, Yu Lian walked in and saluted, "Master, madam!"

Lu Xiu blushed, and asked her, "Where is the bag of clothes that I gave you yesterday?"

"In the wardrobe outside!"

"You fetch it for me, and bring in the clean bucket too!"

"I see!"

Yu Lian turned around and went out. Soon, the two brought clothes and a clean bucket.

"You two go out first! I'll clean up and call you."

Lu Xiu changed into a new set of underwear, Chen Qing looked at the two snow-covered steep mountains in front of him, and his nose was about to bleed again.

But Chen Qing also knew that Lu Xiu was thin-skinned, and there were two little ladies outside, she would never obey him again,
Chen Qing had no choice but to restrain himself, and hurriedly put on his clothes. After busying for a while, Lu Xiu put away the red-spotted white satin, which should not be seen by others anyway.

"Ah!" Two young ladies shouted happily from outside.

"What's wrong?" Chen Qing asked.

"My lord, it has snowed all night outside, and it has accumulated."

Lu Xiu happily said: "Let's go and have a look!"

The two wore shoes and socks, and Lu Xiu simply put her hair in a bun, put on a cloak, and walked out of the room holding hands.

Sure enough, it turned into a snowy world outside. There was thick snow in the yard, and the two little ladies were busy making snowmen!

Seeing the young master and his wife coming out, they realized that they had neglected their duty, and they got up quickly and said, "Let's go fetch hot water!"

The two ran to the front yard in a hurry.

Lu Xiu was in a great mood, she simply put her head on Fu Lang's shoulder, and asked with a smile, "Husband, what are we doing today?"

Chen Qing scratched his head, "I don't know either! What do you usually do on the first day of a wedding?"

"Let's think about it, sister-in-law seems to have told me."

Lu Xiu blinked her beautiful eyes and said with a smile: "I remembered, I went to see my in-laws, then went to worship the ancestors, and then closed the door to count the money!"

"My parents-in-law met yesterday. When it comes to worshiping ancestors, even I don't know where to go to worship them? What's the matter with closing the door and counting money?"

"Count the gift money! Look at how many gifts the guests sent yesterday, husband, how much money does our family have?"

Without the restraint of her in-laws, Lu Xiu was like a bird flying free, and she no longer restrained her nature, she hugged her husband's arm and asked coquettishly.

She is also thinking about how to be a qualified hostess. First of all, she must control the family fortune. Of course, her husband's money is her own money!
Chen Qing raised his head and thought for a while, "It's probably more than ten thousand taels of silver! It seems that there are three hundred taels of gold, most of which are stored in the Chengdu cabinet workshop, and some are in Baling County. There are also a bunch of curios from the Bianliang Palace. I have not carefully counted the ones that were snatched from the puppet Qi Kingdom and the Jin people, so let's wash up first, then go to have breakfast, and then go to see the gifts when we have time."

Yu Lian and Yu Ying have already fetched hot water, the young couple finished their grooming and went to the middle hall for breakfast
Another vacant yard was temporarily used as a warehouse, filled with all kinds of belongings, a batch of belongings brought back by Chen Qing, Lu Xiu's dowry and personal belongings, and congratulatory gifts.

"Here is the gift list!"

Chen Qing handed a list of congratulatory gifts to Lu Xiu, "There are [-] coins, [-] taels of silver, and seven congratulatory gifts."

"What are these?" Lu Xiu asked, pointing to the four red lacquered boxes at the door.

"This is a congratulatory gift from the emperor. It's not on the list. Stay away. I'll open it!"

Chen Qing was very cautious. He pulled Lu Xiu aside, picked up Fang Tian's painted halberd in the corner of the room, picked out the lock, and lifted the lid of the box. When there was no movement, he stepped forward.

"Husband, do you think the officials will harm you?" Lu Xiu asked Chen Qing Youyou.

"The official family may not, but there is an old woman in the palace who wants to kill me and hurry up. Who knows if she pretended to be an official and sent someone to send it? Be careful!"

Lu Xiu nodded silently, she knew that Fu Lang was talking about Queen Mother Wei.

She looked at the contents of the box and exclaimed, "This is Longfeng tea!"

Chen Qing only drank sencha and hadn't had any tea yet, so he asked with a smile, "This tea should be very good!"

"Of course it's good. Long tea and Feng tea are the top group teas. They can't be bought even if you have money. They are exclusively for the palace. My grandfather has five catties. He collects them like treasures."

Chen Qing hastily opened four boxes, three of which were dragon and phoenix tea, and the fourth box contained a set of official Jun porcelain tea sets and a complete set of tea utensils, all made of silver, which were extremely exquisite.

"Lady, do you know how to order tea?" Chen Qing asked with an embarrassed smile.

"Of course I will, I have learned it specially."

"Do you still want to learn some tea?"

Lu Xiu rolled his eyes at him, "Families with better conditions in Bianliang will send their daughters to study arts. Reading and literacy is for teaching their husbands and children. Learning embroidery, tea art, painting, and music is for marrying a good family. If the daughter-in-law is not embroidery , Tea art, if you want to be rejected by your parents-in-law, I started learning embroidery and playing the piano when I was seven years old, and I started learning tea art when I was ten, and I was too young to be scalded by boiling water."

Chen Qing scratched his head and said with a smile: "Well, I've never drank some tea before, how about this! My lady order a pot of tea, how about we drink tea and enjoy the snow together?"

At dusk on the third day after Chen Qing's marriage, Zhang Jun was urgently summoned by the emperor.

He hurried to the imperial study room, and was led into the imperial study room without waiting.

In the imperial study, Qin Hui and Li Hui, who knew the Privy Councilor, were both there, and the face of the official Zhao Gou was so cold that it was about to drip water.

Zhang Jun didn't know what happened, so he bowed and reported: "See Your Majesty!"

Zhao Gou threw a copy of the letter on the table, and said coldly, "Tell Mr. Zhang about the matter, what happened!"

Li Hui hurriedly said: "Today, I received a letter from Feige from the Xuanfu Department of Sichuan and Shanxi. Wu Jie gave up Dasan Pass and led his army to retreat to Nanxianren Pass. The situation in Hanzhong is critical. Zhu Shengfei and a large number of Hanzhong people have already reported Bashu retreated."

Zhao Gou slapped the table heavily, "I don't understand, why did Wu Jie give up the Da San Pass?"

Zhang Jun sighed and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, I understand in my heart that if Hechi County falls, Wu Jie must give up Dasan Pass!"

Zhao Gou was dissatisfied and said: "I remember you said that there are passes before and after Dasan Pass, and it is difficult to capture it even if it is attacked by the enemy. Why can't he hold on, why should he give up?"

"Your Majesty! The problem is not Dashan Pass, but Nanxianren Pass. If Hechi County falls, the enemy army will not only be able to attack Dashan Pass from behind, but the army will directly go south to attack Nanxianren Pass. If Nanxianren Pass cannot be held, it will not only be the fall of Hanzhong. , Jin soldiers can go directly to Xingzhou, and go south to Bashu along the Jinniu West Road, Bashu is likely to be lost, and Wu Jie must protect the Immortal Pass, which is more important than Dashan Pass."

At this time, Qin Hui said slowly: "Wu Jie can definitely divide his troops into two groups, one to guard the Dasan Pass and the other to support the Immortal Pass. He has [-] troops under his command. Could it be that he can't defend the two passes?"

"Your Majesty, the situation is not as simple as we thought. Wanyan Wushu built another city in front of Dashan Pass and attacked Dashan Pass condescendingly. It is only a matter of time before Dashan Pass falls. [-] troops are at Dasan Pass, once the back route of Dasan Pass is cut off, the entire army of [-] troops will be wiped out, Wu Jie's entire army retreats to avoid being smothered in Dasan Pass."

Zhao Gou waved his hands impatiently and said, "I just want to know, can Hanzhong be kept? Can Bashu be kept? Don't make excuses for them! Can Hanzhong and Bashu be kept by keeping the Immortal Pass?"

Zhang Jun pondered for a long while and said, "I may not be able to keep the truth, my minister is telling the truth!"

"Why? Didn't you just say that?" Zhao Gou's eyes widened.

"Yes! I really said just now that if you defend Nanxianren Pass, the Jin soldiers will not be able to attack Hanzhong, nor will you be able to kill Bashu, but the premise is that the other party cannot grasp the defense of the Qinling Mountains. He is fully responsible for the defense of the eastern section of the Qinling Mountains. He knows the situation there like the palm of his hand. Once he leads the Jin soldiers to take the Meridian Road and enter Hanzhong from the east, it will be meaningless whether to defend the Nanxianren Pass or not. The Jin soldiers will not only attack from behind Nanxianrenguan can also go directly to the east route of Jinniu and go to Bashu, so I have repeatedly suggested to His Majesty that Chen Qing must return to the northwest immediately. At present, Hanzhong and Bashu cannot be defended by Wu Jie brothers alone."

Zhao Gou took two steps with his hands behind his back, and immediately ordered: "Decree, Xuan Chenqing will come to see me immediately!"

Zhao Gou is well aware of the consequences of the fall of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and he is finally in a hurry now.
