In front of Li Yan's house.

Cheng Wan'er welcomed Cheng Wanli in.

Seeing no one around, Cheng Wanli lowered his voice and asked Cheng Wan'er: "Daughter, how is Li Yan treating you?"

Cheng Wan'er said, "Very good."

Cheng Wanli didn't dare to believe it all, fearing that his daughter would forgive him, so he asked again: "Is it really good?"

Cheng Wan'er gave a soft "hmm".

Cheng Wanli hesitated for a moment and asked, "How many nights does he stay in your room in January?"

Cheng Wan'er blushed and did not answer.

Cheng Wanli also knew that it was inappropriate for him, a father, to ask this kind of matter.

But their family's situation in Shuibo Liangshan was so special that even the couple didn't dare to meet Cheng Wan'er in private. This was the first time he saw Cheng Wan'er since their family went up the mountain, and Cheng Wan'er's mother wasn't here. Therefore, some things can only be asked by Cheng Wanli.

Cheng Wanli organized his words, and said: "After going up the mountain, my father has been observing Li Yan, and he is also observing this Liangshan Po. As a result, my father found that this Li Yan is really outstanding, and this Liangshan Po is completely different from other thieves, um... For my father's feeling, this Liangshan Po is not a bandit, it has a vigor, for my father, I heard that Li Yan sent Tianhu from Hebei, Wang Qing from Huaixi, and Layue from Fangjiang to support their three families. If this is true, Li Yan And this Liangshan Po may temporarily escape the siege and develop with all its strength, maybe..." At this point, Cheng Wanli realized that Cheng Wan'er didn't seem to care about what he said, and then secretly said: "Still so indifferent and don't care about world affairs , I don’t know if it’s a blessing or a curse.”

Cheng Wanli changed his tone, and said again: "What my father wants to tell you is that although our family has no way out and let you make Li Yan a concubine, it is not entirely a bad thing, and it may not necessarily be a blessing in disguise."

Cheng Wan'er smiled and said: "Daddy, I'm doing well. He treats me very well, and my sisters treat me very well. If you don't come today, I will go back to see you in a few days."

Cheng Wanli asked, "He doesn't restrict your freedom?"

Cheng Wan'er said: "He has never restricted me, it's just that he has been busy before and didn't care about me, and I don't know his attitude, so I haven't seen you all the time. After resting at home for a few days, I finally talked to me in detail."

Cheng Wanli asked, "What did he say?"

Cheng Wan'er said: "It's nothing, just a few family rules... He is really nice, he plays chess with me, and even asks the carpenter to make mahjong tiles and teach us how to play mahjong."

"Playing mahjong? What is that?" Cheng Wanli was puzzled.

Cheng Wan'er smiled and said, "It's a very fun kind of game, um... a kind of game."

Seeing Cheng Wan'er's genuine smile, Cheng Wanli finally believed that her daughter was indeed living a happy life.

This made Cheng Wanli secretly relieved!

Back then, he gave Cheng Wan'er to Li Yan, it was really a last resort!

If it is not forced, how can the daughter of his majestic prefect be a concubine?

Good thing!

Wrong and wrong, from the moment my daughter saw him, she was smiling all over her face.

This reassured Cheng Wanli a lot.

At this time, Cheng Wanli couldn't help but asked again: "Daughter, tell me honestly, how many nights will Li Yan stay in your room in January?"

It's not that Cheng Wanli doesn't believe Cheng Wan'er's words, he just wants to further confirm how much Li Yan loves his daughter?

Seeing Cheng Wanli asking about it again, Cheng Wan'er knew that his father really wanted to know about it.

After hesitating for a moment, Cheng Wan'er said, "Three...three nights."

Hearing that there were only three nights, Cheng Wanli said urgently: "My silly daughter, you just entered his house and you are fresh... There are only three nights, so it can't be said that he dotes on you anyway... Whose room does he spend the night in? most?"

Cheng Wan'er lowered her head and said in a mosquito-like voice, "Me."

"Uh!"

Cheng Wanli was stunned when he heard this!
After a long while, Cheng Wanli asked cautiously: "Go to your room the most? Li Yan is...not a womanizer?"

Cheng Wan'er lowered her head even lower, hesitated for a moment, then shook her head lightly.

Cheng Wanli asked: "Is it bad for women, or am I wrong?"

Seeing that Cheng Wan'er was still bowing her head in silence, Cheng Wanli said anxiously: "You said it, it's related to your whole life!"

Pressed by Cheng Wanli, Cheng Wan'er could only say in a very small voice: "The official likes... likes to call us... all of us... to the madam's room to spend... the night... ..."

Cheng Wanli suddenly realized, and then secretly said: "Li Yan is so poor?"

Shaking his head, he got the matter out of his mind.

Ethos dictates.

People in the Song Dynasty were not ashamed of men being romantic, but proud of it.

Therefore, even though Cheng Wanli didn't like Li Yan's behavior, he didn't say anything, but directly talked about the business: "Your mother asked me to tell you that children are the most important thing for a woman. Although Li Yan There are only four wives and concubines, but if you don’t keep them together, there will be a lot of wives and concubines in the future, you must take advantage of your youth to have a son and half son for Li Xiansheng.”

Cheng Wan'er stammered, "Don't tell your mother...don't worry."

Cheng Wanli reacted for a moment, thought of a possibility, then looked at Cheng Wan'er's lower abdomen and asked, "Are you pregnant?"

Cheng Wan'er said in an impenetrable voice, "Yes."

Cheng Wanli thought to himself: "This Li Yan is too... after all, young. If I hadn't focused on obtaining fame back then, I wouldn't have married at the age of 42, let alone have my only daughter at the age of 45..."

Although there are many thoughts in his heart, Cheng Wanli is still telling Cheng Wan'er: "During this period of time, you must not let Li Yan touch you again. I will send you your original maids Huan'er and Zhui'er tomorrow." Be a roommate."

Cheng Wan'er nodded and said "Yes", then couldn't help urging Cheng Wanli: "Daddy has met the officials first, so let's talk about it in detail, okay?"

Cheng Wanli couldn't help shaking his head: "Women who are married, water that is thrown out, hey..."

When Cheng Wan'er entered the room and saw Li Yan, Cheng Wanli immediately bowed, "Master!"

Li Yan didn't push him, but got up and helped Cheng Wanli up himself, and then asked Cheng Wanli to sit down, and blamed him: "My father-in-law is so polite." This gave Cheng Wanli and Cheng Wan'er enough face.

After going back and sitting down, Li Yan didn't talk nonsense, and said straight to the point: "The imperial court sent Zhang Shuye to serve as Governor of Jizhou, do you know anything about this Shuye?"

The reason why Li Yan called Cheng Wanli was mainly because no one in Shuibo Liangshan knew the people in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty better than Cheng Wanli, and Li Yan was a little jealous of Zhang Shuye who wiped out Song Jiang in history, so he called Cheng Wanli. Wan Li called to ask about Zhang Shuye's details.

Cheng Wanli said: "Zhang Shuye was born in a family of officials and eunuchs. After he served Xu Guogong and Zhang Qi, he liked to talk about military affairs when he was young. When he grew up, he became an official in Lanzhou and joined the army under the shadow of his ancestors. Lanzhou relies on the Yellow River fortification. When the Yellow River freezes, they must be on alert to prevent the Qiang people from invading. Zhang Shuye thinks that this is not an option in the long run, so he crosses the river for investigation and finds a place called "Dadu", which is an important point between the five roads. Every time people invade, they must first gather here. According to the nearby terrain, Zhang Shuye won Dadu, and built a garrisonable city called Xi'an Prefecture in Dadu, so as to guard the northwest border. Zhang Shuye's move effectively The invasion of the Qiang people was curbed, the court eased the anxiety of the frontier instability, and at the same time, it also relieved the pain of the soldiers who were trapped near the river and could not be disarmed for many months. Since then, there has been no Qiang trouble in Lanzhou.

Since then, Zhang Shuye has served as magistrate of Xiangcheng and Chenliu counties, as well as prefectures of Shu, Hai, and Taizhou.During the Daguan period, he was Wailang, a member of the Treasury Department, and Shao Yin of Kaifeng Prefecture.Soon after, he was granted a Jinshi background and moved to the right division member Wailang.

Zhang Shuye once went to the Liao Kingdom and competed with the Liao people in archery, and hit the target first.The Liao people were amazed and wanted to check the bow he drew.Zhang Shuye refused on the grounds of unprecedented.After returning from his envoy, Zhang Shuye drew the mountains, rivers, city walls, servers, instruments and other materials of the Liao Kingdom and submitted them to the officials.

Zhang Shuye's younger brother Zhang Kegong impeached Cai Xianggong, which forced Cai Xianggong to step down. Cai Xianggong became enmity with Zhang and turned his anger on Zhang Shuye. He secretly collected Zhang Shuye's faults and demoted Zhang Shuye to Xi'an Grassland Supervisor manage.

A few years later, Zhang Shuye was recalled to the capital as a secretary and junior supervisor, and later promoted to Zhongshu Sheren and Gishizhong.Because of the laziness of the officials at that time, all the orders issued by the door were to pre-sign the title and name, and then fill in the specific content when something happened, which was called "empty yellow".

Because of his rapid promotion, he was also jealous of Cai Xianggong, so he went to Haizhou again as the magistrate of Huiyou Pavilion.

I never thought that within a few years he would come to Jeju again to serve as governor! "

After a pause, Cheng Wanli said: "That Uncle Zhang is capable of writing and martial arts, and is a talented executive. If the Zhang family had not offended Cai Xianggong, and the officials only liked to favor and trust those who flirt, he would have been famous all over the world. .”

Seeing that Cheng Wanli gave Zhang Shuye such a high evaluation, Li Yan couldn't help being even more jealous of Zhang Shuye!
After hesitating for a while, Cheng Wanli said: "It's not a good thing for Zhang Shuye to be in charge of the Jeju government, for the village master, and for Liang Shanbo. The village master had better take precautions early."
