Chapter 538 Still Crossing the Boundary

"This... don't use it! She's still young!" Cui Pu said hastily.

"It's not too young. She will be 14 years old soon. Get married first, and then get married after a year or two. The age is just right. If you still don't want to, you can keep her for two more years. Just get engaged first, and I will There is a reason to keep her at the mansion to prepare for marriage, and not to let her go out and run around." Mu Jiaojiao said.

Cui Pu's face turned even paler.

As long as he thinks that the big lady he loves so much is about to put on her wedding dress and marry to another family, serve tea and water to other people's family as a little daughter-in-law, and then she will lose much contact with him, and the father and daughter can no longer get together. After wanton intimacy together, his heart throbbed with pain.

"Forget it, it's not the time yet. We can talk about this kind of thing in two years." He whispered, not knowing whether he was convincing Mu Jiaojiao or himself.

Mu Jiaojiao was angry and powerless. "In the past two years, the number of people who proposed marriage to the eldest lady has almost broken through the threshold! Even the people who proposed marriage to Da Langjun have come. The eldest lady can really settle down first."

The corner of Cui Pu's mouth twitched fiercely again.

"Miss", turning his head slowly, he looked at Mu Jiaojiao with a pitiful face, "What should I do, I can't bear to miss my eldest lady. I just don't want her to marry, and now I don't even want to be engaged."

Everyone knows that this guy loves his daughter like his life, and he can quarrel with the eldest lady for various reasons every day, but he never mentions the matter of marriage.In the past two years, how many eyes of many people have been staring at the growing lady. Almost every time someone came to the door, or when they went out to a banquet, they would mention the marriage of the lady, but Cui Pu gave them a Li refused.

The reason why she mentioned this was just to let him see the truth.

Now that he has said that, Mu Jiaojiao said: "Since you don't want to marry her, then you can't stop her. You have also dealt with floods in the south, and you understand the truth that it is better to block than to block. The eldest lady is so big, You have cultivated your temper like this. She wants to follow you to the battlefield, do you think you can stop her?"

Cui Pu's eyes darkened again. "I understand. When things are not serious in the future, I'll just ask her to join in the fun."

Anyway, he would rather let his daughter be bold and wild for a while than marry her!

This man's love for his daughter is boundless!Mu Jiaojiao shook his head weakly, who can subdue such a wild lady in the future?There is also Cui Pu, a father-in-law who loves his daughter unprincipled, she feels a headache for the big lady's future husband-in-law.

This matter was originally just a couple talking behind closed doors.In the end, she didn't know what was going on, and when the eldest lady heard about it, she hurried to Mu Jiaojiao: "Aniang, I don't want to marry! I want to stay by Dad's side and fight the enemy with Dad!"

"Do you not want to marry for a while, or do you not want to marry for the rest of your life?" Mu Jiaojiao asked.

The eldest lady was startled, but Mu Jiaojiao looked straight into her eyes: "You tell me the truth."

The eldest lady replied honestly: "It's been a while."

"Why? Because you don't want to marry, or you have someone in your heart, but you can't marry?"

The big lady blushed. "Auntie!"

"That's the latter." Mu Jiaojiao nodded.

The eldest lady lowered her head with a red face and remained silent.

Mu Jiaojiao slowly came forward and patted her head: "Aniang didn't say that this is bad. Girls' feelings are always poetry, and it's good for you to have such an experience. I won't ask you who that person is, You just keep him in your heart. Now that you are still young, if you want to delay the marriage, you should delay it first! But you should understand that you are the little lady of the Boling Cui family, and your father is now a third-rank official in the imperial court. , there are only a few families who can get married with our family. You have to be mentally prepared."

The red tide on the eldest lady's face gradually receded.

She bit her lip and nodded her head lightly: "I understand what you mean, Auntie. I will behave well in the past two years, so as not to let the Boling Cui family's reputation be ashamed because of me."

"I hope you can do this!" Mu Jiaojiao said in a low voice.

Even if this matter is over.

After that, Mu Jiaojiao never mentioned the eldest lady's marriage again.When someone asked her again, she said that the aunt in Chang'an told the eldest lady's fortune, and the master said that she should not marry early, and she could not make an early marriage as the reason.

Cui Pu will go on a tour of the military camp in the future, and besides Mr. Da Lang, he will also bring Mrs. Da Niang with him.In the event of some small wars, he would also let the eldest lady play to let her live the addiction of fighting.And the eldest lady also performed well, and on several occasions even captured several Tubo thieves alive.

Not only that, but when she had nothing to do, she also led Qingmiao Qingya and a few girls to form a women's army.When Cui Pu didn't take her out, a group of ten or so young ladies would practice archery in the backyard, or gallop outside the city on their horses.Sometimes she followed Mu Jiaojiao to Guo Ziyi's mansion as a guest, and she brought her team with her to ask Guo Ziyi to help guide her tactics.

After nearly a year of training, this group of detachments of women actually has a bit of a climate.This surprised Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu.

But fortunately, this is the border.At the border, there are too many tiger girls in Jiangmen, and there are countless heroines who went to the battlefield to kill the enemy and lead people to defend their homeland.There are many people who can cultivate a women's army, such as the eldest daughter of An Sishun, the current Hexi Jiedu envoy, who also has a women's army under her command.Therefore, she often asked the eldest lady to take her women's army to learn skills, and the two of them would take others to play and compete with other women's soldiers. This reputation of being tough spread farther and farther.

In a blink of an eye, it was the ninth year of Tianbao.

Cui Pu, the governor, became more and more convenient.Although he was as tired as a dog every day, he was still full of pride seeing that the five counties in Hexi were managed steadily by him.

Then, he became dissatisfied.

On this day, after suppressing another group of Qiang people who tried to plunder at the border, he complained to Mu Jiaojiao when he came back: "It's such trivial things every day, so boring! Tell me, when will I be able to fight the Hu people?" field?"

Mu Jiaojiao looked at him angrily. "Why don't you discuss it with An Jiedushi and ask him to give you a chance?"

The former Jiedu envoy Wang Sizhong, who was the prince, still did not escape Li Linfu's clutches after all. He was framed and recalled to Chang'an the year before last.The one who succeeded him later was Wang Sizhong's former subordinate named An Sishun.An Sishun is An Lushan's unrelated cousin, but the relationship between the two is not good.An Sishun has a deeper Sinicization than An Lu Mountain, so he has a much deeper admiration and maintenance of the order of the Han people than An Lu Mountain.He deeply disapproved of what An Lushan had done these years, and he had taught An Lushan a few times, but An Lushan ignored them all.In a fit of anger, he didn't have much contact with An Lushan at all.

And because Cui Pu and An Lushan are rivals, he gradually got closer to Cui Pu.After getting drunk once, An Sishun took Cui Pu's hand and said, "This son of An Lushan is ambitious, we must be careful on guard! If he is not careful, he will turn against our New Tang Dynasty!"

This is the second time he has heard people swear that An Lushan will turn against him.

Moreover, these words were said from the mouth of his cousin who grew up with An Lushan, and the authenticity cannot be doubted.

Cui Pu lowered his eyes: "Now that he is becoming more and more powerful, and he is backed by a noble concubine, what can we do to him?"

Speaking of things in the court, he couldn't hide his grief and indignation.

A barbarian who became a monk on An Lushan halfway, unexpectedly now is in the middle of the court like a duck to water, he enters the court hall and sees the crown prince but does not worship, and keeps saying that he only has the imperial concubine in his eyes and no crown prince.The sage was not angry when he learned about it. Instead, he praised him for his filial piety, asked him to be filial to Concubine Yang, and asked him and his nephews and nieces to call each other brothers and sisters, making a false impression of great affection.

This prince is really useless!He was bullied to the point where he didn't even know how to resist, but just kept hiding and enduring it, he was really pissed off!

The indignation at the prince's incompetence, the uneasiness at the sage's growing confusion, and the dissatisfaction with the continued growth of the An Lushan faction made the two of them very speculative, and they often got together to drink and talk.From the new major events in the DPRK and China to the various intricate relationships at the border, from the various human and military policies in the Hexi area to the strategies for retreating the enemy on the battlefield, they are all messy and talk about everything.

Although he hated An Lushan, Cui Pu respected An Sishun very much.And An Sishun also admired Cui Pu, the uninhibited and uninhibited alien in the court that was rumored by the outside world.

It was also based on this that Mu Jiaojiao asked Cui Pu to make such a request with An Sishun.

When Cui Pu heard the words, he scolded lightly: "Do you think I'm stupid? The sage is confused, Li Linfu is acting more and more arrogant now, and now all his minions are staring at us! As long as I do something that crosses the line, he will It will seize the impeachment until it destroys me. I will not give him this chance!"

"Then you should honestly take your people around these five counties!" Mu Jiaojiao said casually.

Cui Pu flattened his mouth. "My lady, how can you do this? I'm already in a bad mood, so can't you say something nice to coax me?"

"Are you in a bad mood? Didn't you smile so happily just now?" Mu Jiaojiao said indifferently.

"Just now was just now, now is now." Cui Pu said sullenly.

Pack!You pretend again!
Mu Jiaojiao said angrily: "You are almost in your [-]s, and you still have a little temper with me, you are so embarrassed!"

"I don't care, I don't care! Anyway, when I'm in front of you, I'm going to lose my temper, and I'm going to play if I want to!" Cui Pu didn't feel ashamed at all, and instead moved closer to her, the kind that clings to her tightly "When I'm in a bad mood, the only way to get better is to hug you. No matter how old it is, even if it gets sick and dies in its [-]s and [-]s, I will still hug you. If you're not in my arms, I can't sleep well on the ground. !"

Is he talking about love?

Mu Jiaojiao sighed helplessly. "Didn't you just say that you want to fight more exciting battles?"

"Didn't you say it, it was just now, and now is now. I want to hug you right now." Cui Pu said, leaning his head on her shoulder.

Mu Jiaojiao felt helpless, but the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up slightly.

She reached out, intending to push his head aside.But when she touched the top of his head, she couldn't bear to do it anymore.Instead, she patted him on the head, that's all.

This scene was seen by a few dolls hiding under the window outside.

Mr. Da Lang twitched the corners of his mouth: "Father is really getting more and more shameless. He is already very old, and he is still so obsessed with my mother every day. Is he ashamed?"

The eldest lady looked in through the gap of the window again, and then slowly withdrew her gaze: "My mother is so lucky to meet someone who loves her so much. In the future, if there is someone who treats me like my father, I will Even death is enough!"

"Sister, wouldn't it be better to just change your 'someone' to that name?" Mr. Da Lang teased.

The eldest lady's face immediately sank, and she raised her fist and landed on him.

Mr. Da Lang quickly ran away with his head in his arms, but the eldest lady continued to catch up and beat and kicked him.

Seeing brother and sister running away, the little lady was still dumbfounded.She blinked, blinked again, and said to Erlang Jun who was still dozing off at the side: "Brother, what's the matter with sister and elder brother?"

"It's nothing, my sister is pregnant, and my brother is guilty again. One of them is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer." Erlang Jun yawned and took her little hand, "Let's go too! I'm hungry, where are you?" Is there anything to eat?"

"Yes, yes! My grandfather asked someone to bring over a basket of pickled plums a few days ago. I used it to make plum cakes. It's sweet and sour. It's delicious. I'll take you to eat it!" The little lady nodded hurriedly. , and took the initiative to drag Mr. Erlang to his small yard.

In this way, the world is stable and the years are quiet.

However, this stability is relative.

Not long after Cui Pucai complained to Mu Jiaojiao, there was a knock on the gate of the Governor's Mansion in the middle of the night.

Cui Pu went out for a while, and when he came back, he hurriedly asked someone to take out his armor.

"What's wrong?" Mu Jiaojiao asked.

"An Jiedu envoy led people to fight against the Turkic people in Qilian Mountains. Unexpectedly, traitors appeared in the team, and the Jiedu envoy fell into the encirclement of the Turkic people. I am going to help now!"
