Chapter 118 Wife’s hard work
That night, after Shen Yanhan fell asleep, Qin Yuehuai opened the door and walked out, his face obviously solemn.

Yang Dong appeared in front of him, saw his thin lips pursed slightly, and said solemnly: "Go and find out why Uncle Deyuan is in trouble this time."

Such a big thing as the prime minister's sudden resignation has long been spread to Lin'an Mansion. It is not a secret in the city. Yang Dong had already taken action and made inquiries while Qin Yuehuai was in coma.

Therefore, as soon as Qin Yuehuai gave the order, he responded fluently: "I have already checked, it is because of the Huaixi incident. Liqiong crossed the Huaihe River, surrendered to Liu Yu, and led 20 troops, officials, and family members , there are more than [-] people in total. Now I am very angry, so I will kill Xianggong Zhang."

Li Qiong was Liu Guang's subordinate. Liu Guang escaped due to the battle in Huaixi. After Zhang Jun returned to Lin'an Mansion from Huaixi, he joined several officials to join him. Soon after, Gaozong finally confiscated his military power.

Qin Yuehuai suddenly felt a roar above his head.

Liu Guang originally had two generals under his command - Li Qiong and Wang De. The two had always been at odds with each other. When he was in the army, he heard of a fight between the two more than once.

After Liu Guang's military power was confiscated, he once suggested that Zhang Jun choose a third party to control the Huaixi army. In the end, I don't know whether Zhang Jun didn't listen to his suggestion, or Gaozong had other plans and chose Wang De as the commander of the capital.He could imagine how dissatisfied Li Qiong would be, who regarded Wang De as a thorn in his side.

Later, fortunately, the imperial court also noticed the instability of Liu Guang's old military situation, and ordered Wang De to lead his troops to withdraw to Jiankang.

He thought that after this incident, the imperial court sent a third person to Huaixi, and Li Qiong's dissatisfaction would subside, but he never thought that Li Qiong would eventually lead his troops to defect.

What did Liu Yu, who took 20 people to defect to the "Qi State", mean to the poor and weak Zhou Dynasty?
This means that the important areas of Jianghuai and Jianghuai, which are the military frontiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty against the Great Jin Dynasty and the Puppet Qi Dynasty, are suddenly in a state of defenselessness; it means that there is a huge "earthquake" in the DPRK, and the once restored anti-Golden morale has suffered a major blow. frustration.Some forces that already have a conservative attitude towards Daikin will take this opportunity to vigorously promote conservative peace negotiation strategies.

As for the crime of defection, the court was unable to catch Li Qiong and come back to satisfy her hatred, but the crime of the warlord's bad intentions was placed on Zhang Jun.

How familiar is this scene!
Wasn't his grandfather Qin Jin sentenced to exile for similar reasons?
Qin Yuehuai's heart was as heavy as a boulder, and he asked Yang Dong: "Do you know who Wang De sent to Huaixi after he was withdrawn from Jiankang by the court?"

Yang Dong: "Lv Zhi, Minister of Criminal Affairs."

Qin Yuehuai pursed her thin lips tightly, closed her eyes and breathed out.Although Lu Zhi was a scribe and had no knowledge of the military, he was upright and strict, and he was not of the temperament to be able to arouse such a bloody storm.

"What about others?"

"Killed by Li Qiong. Li Qiong killed him before he led his troops to surrender. The news came out that Lu Zhi was in Luzhou on the surface to appease Li Qiong, but in fact, he secretly reported to the court to beg him to be dismissed, so Li Qiong jumped over the wall in a hurry."

Qin Yuehuai thought for a long time and asked, "Does Lu Zhi still have family here?"

Yang Dong replied: "After Lu Zhi was killed, his wife Wu committed suicide by hanging herself. I have never heard of anything else."

Qin Yuehuai said: "Go and check. If there is an heir alive, his life may be in danger. Once you find him, bring him to Lin'an Mansion as soon as possible."

"Yes."

After giving a few more instructions, Qin Yuehuai returned to the room, opened the bed curtain, sat on the edge of the bed, and looked at the sleeping Shen Yanhan quietly.

Qin Qilang's eyes were dark.

For several years, he had been accustomed to living in seclusion next to Zhang Jun. In the past, he had never thought about showing up to get involved in politics, because once his identity was discovered, it would easily be the end of the Zhang family who hid him.

He was not so conceited, thinking that his ninth uncle, who could not bear to regard his father and brother as prisoners, and feared death for his life when pursued by the Jin soldiers, and would do anything to keep the power in his hands, would consider his uncle and nephew's feelings and be merciful to let him go.On the contrary, his existence will only remind him that he brought troops to the guard to protect himself. The throne he obtained was stolen from others and was not a legitimate and orthodox position.

Zhao You would not want to see him alive.

But now, the Zhang family has been overrun with no eggs left, and he continues to hide it. Is he willing to do so?

He thought he had lost everything, but that was not the case.

Uncle Deyuan's family, as well as the person in front of him, who would rather live frugally and support him richly, and hope that his wife will succeed in his studies, are all his precious treasures, aren't they?
Thinking of this, Qin Yuehuai curled his lips slightly. With no power in his hands, how could he give peace to the one he loved?
power.

Qin Yuehuai tasted these two words repeatedly in his heart.

The cold wind squeezed through the window, and the slightest chill penetrated into the tent he opened. Shen Yanhan's shoulders were exposed in the quilt when she was sleeping. She frowned and murmured: "Qilang, it's so cold..."

Qin Yuehuai was pushed in and held her in his arms. He put his lips on her forehead and promised her in the darkness: "Jiaojiao, don't worry."

Don't worry, I will definitely give you everything you want.

*
Early the next morning, before dawn, Shen Yanhan sat up at the same hour as usual. When he rubbed his eyes in confusion, Qin Yuehuai beside him had long since disappeared.

Shen Yanhan's heart tightened, and she ran out the door before she could put on her shoes, nervously saying: "Qilang! Qilang!"

Hearing her shouts, Qin Yuehuai walked out of the study and saw Shen Yanhan standing barefoot in the cold wind wearing a medium coat, looking around in panic.

He strode towards her and said, "Jiao Jiao."

Shen Yanhan heard the sound and ran two steps over to him. She raised her face and asked aggrievedly, "Where have you been?"

Seeing her abnormal appearance, Qin Yuehuai reached out to pick her up and asked warmly, "What's wrong? I've been at home all the time."

The tip of Shen Yanhan's nose was red and her eyelashes were trembling, "I dreamed that you ran away. I didn't see you when I got up, so I thought it was true."

"How could it be? It's just a dream. I just got up early and read a book."

"Wake up early to read?"

"Well, the spring exam is coming soon, and my knowledge is not outstanding, so I thought hard work can make up for my weakness."

This was the first time that Shen Yanhan heard Qin Yuehuai say that he would take part in the scientific examination next year. Her eyes widened in disbelief, but remembering his memory of remembering his words for three days, she tactfully advised: "Are you sure... …Are you going to take the latest scientific examination? No more studying for two years? You are still young."

Qin Yuehuai looked forward and said lightly: "The prefecture's Fajie Examination does not limit qualifications. I signed up to try it earlier. If I am lucky enough to pass the exam, I will continue to prepare to take the provincial exam. If I fail, I will Keep reading. In any case, it can increase my exam experience and let me know where I am missing, what do you think?"

After a serious illness, Qin Yuehuai seemed to suddenly become different.

He no longer waited for him to finish breakfast slowly before going to the study; he no longer waited for her to urge him before he endorsed it; he no longer even asked her, he took the initiative to make plans for the scientific examination.

Shen Yanhan looked at him in his arms, his face was calm, as if he was confident.

Shen Yanhan felt strange, but she was indeed happy with his change.

She remembered her previous plan and said: "I know a few famous scholars who have served in the Imperial College. They live near Lin'an Mansion. Why don't we go visit them today and let them give you some advice?"

Famous scholars and great scholars.

Qin Yuehuai raised his eyebrows.

Who is not?

He put Shen Yanhan on the bed, squatted on the ground, stretched out his hands to put on her footwear, and asked casually: "Are you going today?"

"if not?"

Whether or not to go or when to go was not important to Qin Yuehuai. He nodded casually without saying anything.

Shen Yanhan was dissatisfied when he didn't show the gratitude she expected. She reached out and grabbed Qin Yuehuai's chin, forcing him to look up at her.

She was like a mountain king teasing a good girl, with empty eyes and a condescending look at him in a strong manner.Qin Yuehuai raised his head and looked at her bright eyes, her face was close to his lips, as if she was angry, but not really angry, as if she wanted to kiss him, but not really kissing him.

She hangs him on purpose.

But he looked innocent.

Qin Yuehuai rolled his Adam's apple and said angrily: "Bright."

Shen Yanhan continued to pretend to be innocent. She enjoyed the satisfaction of teasing him. She touched his lips with her fingers and pinched her thin and delicate throat: "Huh? What's wrong?"

Qin Yuehuai was like a wild wolf that had escaped from the shackles of a hunter. He jumped up and threw her onto the quilt, his breath burning and his eyes full of aggression.

"It's better to borrow something than to borrow it one day at a time."

Shen Yanhan thought about what he said before leaving Lin'an Mansion, and he deliberately lowered his body and pressed against her waist. After all, she was a little afraid of his methods in power, so she pushed Qin Yuehuai, "I won't announce it in the daytime..." "

Qin Yuehuai interrupted her: "It's not yet dawn."

Shen Yanhan didn't really resist. As soon as Qin Yuehuai kissed her, she followed his breath and her body temperature gradually increased.With her bare feet, she gently stepped on his calf, and her hands lingered on his back, both comforting and urging.

Qin Yuehuai opened his eyes and saw her blushing cheeks and trembling eyelashes, looking cute and innocent. He couldn't help but put her in his arms and hugged her.

The back of Shen Yanhan's head suddenly lifted off the quilt, and she said "uh", panicking, but never avoiding him.

When her shoulders were slightly cold, she even faintly liked his whim.

With her manipulating Lang Jun like this, Qin Qilang would inevitably lose control.

His breath touched the tip of her nose, her lips, her chin...

Shen Yanhan raised her slender and white neck high, with burning passion in her arms.

The two people's white clothes fell together. When Shen Yanhan opened his eyes, he saw the scar under Qin Yuehuai's collarbone.

The originally ugly and ferocious look was gradually buried in sweat.

Becoming fuzzy, becoming lazy.

When the sky was bright, Shen Yanhan was holding the edge of the bed with both hands, her eyes were red, Qin Yuehuai asked her from behind: "Are you sure you are going to visit someone today?"

Shen Yanhan cried and gritted his teeth helplessly: "What else?"

Qin Yuehuai sighed with unfinished meaning and said solemnly: "Okay."

They both got up late at night, and Shen Yan walked out of the house with trembling legs. While complaining about her poor concentration, she had to pretend to be nonchalant in front of the Qi family who were staying here, and nodded to them.

Mu Jin blushed and put the breakfast on the table. Without looking at Shen Yanhan and Qin Yuehuai, she said lovingly: "Madam, please eat more."

Shen Yanhan didn't react to her inexplicable words for a moment. He was about to talk about the two of them going out today. When he raised his eyes, he saw Hibiscus running out of the door as if she was running away.

Shen Yanhan frowned in confusion: "Why is she running?"

Qin Yuehuai put a piece of sesame cake into her bowl, with a smile on his lips and said unhurriedly: "Lady, hard work."

Shen Yanhan suddenly understood and her eyes widened.

She immediately blamed him: "It's not all because of you!"

Slow and tormenting, the more she kicked him and asked him to make a quick decision, the more he deliberately misinterpreted her intentions and waited until dark.

Qin Yuehuai had already received real benefits. At this moment, Shen Yanhan couldn't care less about it. He put another hibiscus cake in her bowl, followed his kindness, and apologized in a good voice: "It was because of my husband's recklessness."

With such a good attitude and gentle tone, it's hard not to let people's sullen anger dissipate.

No woman can resist such a handsome and gentle man.

There was a branch of red plum beside the kitchen window. Suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the fragrance of plum blossoms hit the tip of his nose. Along with the crispy sesame cake in his mouth, Shen Yanhan glanced at Qin Yuehuai, but in his heart he raised his lips.

*
After Hibiscus went out, she patted her heart hard.

God knows, she just walked to Shen Yanhan's door, and when she raised her hand to knock on the door and call someone, her wife's words came from inside that were too delicate to listen to: "No, no, this won't work, my knees hurt."

And the owner asked in a good temper: "What about this? Is it better?"

Her tone almost didn't mention it.

When Cai Xizhu entered Qiuwang Garden, what she saw was the scene of hibiscus standing dumbly.

Cai Xizhu tiptoed over and slapped Hibiscus on the shoulder.

Hibiscus was really teased by her, and she was so frightened that she screamed: "Ah!"

Cai Xizhu laughed heartily, leaned in front of her face and asked, "What are you thinking about, Mu Jin?"

Mu Jin hesitated for a few moments, knowing that there was no more suitable person to do this, so she leaned into Cai Xizhu's ear and asked directly: "Ms. Cai, does your father have any pills to avoid children? Can you give me some."

Cai Xizhu, an unmarried young lady, was inevitably embarrassed when she heard this. After a few breaths of silence, she pretended to be calm and asked Mu Jin: "Give it to Jiao Jiao? Doesn't she want a child?"

Mu Jin shook her head, "Our husband doesn't want my wife to give birth so early, which will be bad for her health. This recipe to avoid the baby is for the husband."

As soon as these words came out, Cai Xizhu's eyes trembled, and there was actually a man who took anti-pregnancy medicine. She whispered to Mu Jin: "I'll ask my father later."

*
Shen Yanhan thought Qin Yuehuai was acting on a whim, but in fact she was the one who really acted on a whim. She did whatever she said. Once she decided to do something, no one could stop her.

Qin Yuehuai knew her personality well and followed her decision to leave Qingshui Village with her.

There are two great scholars that Shen Yanhan knows. One lives in the suburbs of Lin'an Prefecture and the other lives in Lin'an Prefecture.Following the optimal route, Shen Yanhan and Qin Yuehuai went to the house in the suburbs first. Unexpectedly, the scholar passed away two months ago, so Shen Yanhan had to put all his hopes in the second house.

When they rushed into the city, it was already evening. It was now the New Year's Eve, and tomorrow would be New Year's Eve. Every house in Lin'an Mansion was decorated with lanterns, lanterns were hung high, and people could be seen hanging mascots at the door everywhere.

The red lights fell in his eyes, and Shen Yanhan said regretfully: "You were sick a few days ago, and we didn't have time to hang lanterns or post couplets."

Qin Yuehuai saw the disappointment hidden in her eyes, and saw through her desire to go back, and said: "Why don't we go back earlier to decorate? We can visit Zhu Daru as a New Year celebration, or as a New Year greeting, what do you think? ?”

The words she didn't say were spoken by Qin Yuehuai. Shen Yanhan obeyed and nodded, "Okay."

Qin Yuehuai raised his eyes and looked at the lights of Tingfeng Teahouse in front of him. He remembered the sale of the Shen family's house. He narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's go have a meal first."

Shen Yanhan and Qin Yuehuai walked into Tingfeng Teahouse. At the same time, in Qiuwang Garden, Hibiscus was facing Shen Guci's dark face.
