Chapter 647: Inquiring

Qin Hanzhen and Cai Yuanzhen haven't had a good conversation for a long time. The meeting before the wedding did not give them the space and time to talk in detail. Although the two of them don't actually have any urgent problems that need to be discussed, it's good that friends can calm down and have a good chat.

Qin Hanzhen pointed to the wing room not far away, where a chess room, piano room and tea room had been cleaned up, which was specially prepared by Qin Jian for the hobby of his newlywed wife, and now although it is not useful, it is also clean and tidy, burning the stove and incense, and preparing relatives and friends who come to see the bride to rest here, drink tea and talk. It was empty right now, just enough for Qin Hanzhen and Cai Yuanzhen to sit down for a while.

Cai Yuanzhen happily accepted the invitation and left.

In Qin Jian's courtyard, naturally there will be no blind girl who will ignore the needs of Qin Hanzhen, the princess of Suning County. She and Cai Yuanzhen sat down in the middle of the house, and someone brought hot tea and snacks, and added a brazier in the corner of the house, and they all retreated smartly.

Cai Yuanzhen praised with a smile: "Her Majesty, the head of the Qin family's mansion, really has some experience. In the ordinary lord's mansion, it is rare to see such a girl who knows what to do without being told. ”

Qin Hanzhen smiled. Yao's family, the director of the house, the ruler of the subordinates, may also have his own skills, but he is not very outstanding. It's just that today is her precious son's marriage, and this yard is also her precious son's yard, even if it is a small matter, she will be very attentive and will not allow any criticism of others. What's more, Qin Jian's own royal skills are not bad. He cherishes Yu Xinlan very much, how could he not straighten out the personnel in the yard before marriage and avoid causing a little trouble to his new wife?

The girl was born ordinary, but she was really capable, she looked a little raw, she was not the old person she was used to seeing before, but she was very familiar with the rules of etiquette, and it was estimated that it was the talent that Qin Jian dug out of the family in the recent rumors, and her name was Qiuyu. As soon as this girl entered the new yard, she was promoted to the second class, which is quite eye-catching in the group of girls. If she can honestly do her best in this courtyard, Qin Jian and Yu Xinlan will naturally not treat her badly in the future.

Qin Hanzhen naturally didn't discuss anything with Cai Yuanzhen about the girl in Xifu, and directly cared about the battle situation in Liaodong: "I don't know what the situation is in Liaodong? I only heard in the palace that everything is going well, but there is no way to inquire about the details, and it is not convenient to inquire." Although there is a lot of gossip outside, I don't know which one is accurate. My mother is pregnant, and I can't work hard for her to go. I'm glad I met you today, otherwise I might have to go to the third aunt for help. ”

Cai Yuanzhen smiled: "What's this? Since you want to know, just send me a letter." As long as I know what I know and don't make taboos, I will naturally answer all questions. Even if you don't come to me today, I want to talk to you. Now that the supply of military food and materials in Liaodong is sufficient, no one dares to fill their own pockets, and no one delays and prevaricates, which is said to be thanks to the king of Suning County. My father told me a long time ago that I would like to find an opportunity to thank you and the king of Suning County. If it weren't for the county king's trouble, the children of our Cai family don't know if there would be major casualties. ”

No matter how smooth the situation is in Liaodong, it is also a real war, not just a player's house. The Cai family sent more than a dozen children to the past, all of whom were the future pillars of the family and the flesh and blood of their closest relatives. No matter which one is damaged on the battlefield, it will be a great loss for the Cai family, and it will also make the Cai family grief. But the war has been going on for more than half a month so far, except for three people who were wounded, the others are still intact, and the other soldiers stationed in the border towns of eastern Liaodong have not suffered heavy casualties, and there is no shortage of materials, whether it is food, cotton clothes, leather armor, medicine, weapons, horses, the supply is normal. The Cai family is not a stunned young man who doesn't know about the military, how can they not know that this is because someone is behind the scenes?

The Marquis of Yunyang sighed to his wife and daughter at home more than once, saying that the battle of Liaodong was much easier than when he participated in the war in the northern border town more than 30 years ago, at that time their logistics supply was insufficient, and the soldiers were barely half-full even for three meals a day, not to mention the medicinal materials. …

Of course, that was the time of the first emperor, because of this matter, after ascending the throne today, the punishment for corrupt officials was very heavy, the treatment of military attaches and border soldiers was also improved, and civil officials no longer joined the military attaches at every turn, and they hated to participate in every military attache with military merits until they died, and the atmosphere of the court also changed greatly.

But that's all off topic. The Marquis of Yunyang only noticed that Zhao Mo, the king of Suning County, had a lot of credit in it, and even on the boundary of Liaodong, the relationship between the original old defenders and the newly transferred army was quite harmonious, and there was no big contradiction, and it was indispensable for Zhao Mo, who was the eldest grandson of the former Liao Wangfu, to persuade him to make peace. Yunyang Hou was very grateful to Zhao Mo, and privately praised him as the leader of the younger generation of the clan. Although due to various reasons, Zhao Mo did not become the son-in-law of Yunyang Hou as the crown princess Tang hoped for, which made Yunyang Hou feel very worried, but now it is actually a pleasant thing to be able to cooperate with the other party in this way.

Of course, Yun Yang Hou's later words, Cai Yuanzhen would not tell Qin Hanzhen. She only said how Yunyang Hou praised Zhao Mo, and Qin Hanzhen smiled when she heard it, and she had to be humble for Zhao Mo: "Yunyang Hou is really too famous, our county prince just did what he should do." The emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince trust him so much, and put such a heavy responsibility in his hands, of course, he cannot live up to the love of the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. It was so fake that even Cai Yuanzhen heard it, lowered her head and covered her mouth with her sleeves and snickered.

Seeing this, Qin Hanzhen's face couldn't help but turn red, but he soon continued to ask with sparkling eyes as if he was fine: "Our county prince has gone to Liaodong? I heard a few days ago that he went to the south, but the people below are not very well-informed. I looked at the way they were spitting and spitting, and I wondered in my heart. Now that I hear you say that, I understand a little. "If Zhao Mo didn't actually go to Jiangnan to raise military rations, but ran to Liaodong, where the war started, then it would be understandable to let the people below hide it from her. He was afraid that she would be worried and afraid, right? But even so, this kind of concealment was not encouraged! Qin Hanzhen decided to wait for Zhao Mo to come back, so that he would deeply understand this.

How did Cai Yuanzhen know about the idea of Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Moxiao's couple? Honestly told the news she knew: "I only heard that the king of Suning County recently sat in Jinzhou, and sent someone to the south to raise grain. He had a will with him, and as soon as he arrived in Jinzhou, he first cut down a small military attache who was secretly stirring up relations between the old defenders and the newly transferred troops, and no one in the local officials dared to disobey him again. ”

Qin Han really understood. Due to the fact that the battle in Liaodong was much earlier than expected, the process of changing the defense of the Liaodong defenders was disrupted, and all kinds of chaos naturally arose. I don't know if the little military attache who deliberately sowed discord during this kind of war has something to do with Beirong's side, anyway, this kind of death behavior is absolutely not tolerated. Zhao Mo had a holy decree in his hand, and it was a hundred to cut people directly, and it could also deter everyone, lest anyone make trouble in secret, and he would no longer have to bother to straighten out interpersonal relationships. These are extraordinary times, and extraordinary actions should be taken.

Knowing Zhao Mo's exact whereabouts, Qin Han sighed sincerely. There are naturally worries, but after all, Zhao Mo is still some distance away from the battlefield, and he is also responsible for logistics supply, so there is not much danger. If he can perform well this time, the emperor and the crown prince will naturally repay him in the future. As a disciple of a close branch of the clan, he already has the title of fief and county king, and then he has the favor of the emperor, and he has no ambitions, such conditions are enough to ensure Zhao Mo's wealth and honor in his life. Qin Hanzhen knew that he was working so hard for the future of their husband and wife, and his heart couldn't help but be sour and soft, wishing that her husband was in front of her at this moment, so that she could hug him and keep him warm.

Qin Hanzhen asked Cai Yuanzhen about some other news, some of which Cai Yuanzhen knew, and some of whom did not. After all, she is just a girl, although Yunyang Hou is not taboo to mention the war situation on the border to his family when he is at home, but Cai Yuanzhen cannot be like his brother Cai Shizi, who can read the military newspaper directly, and many news will not be too detailed. But this is enough for Qin Hanzhen. She solemnly thanked Cai Yuanzhen.

Cai Yuanzhen said: "What is this? If you have the heart to inquire, there will naturally be no shortage of people to tell you this news." It's my honor that you think of me. ”

Qin Hanzhen said with a smile: "I naturally asked you about these news first. First, someone in the Cai family is in Liaodong, and the fourth brother-in-law is on the front line; second, you and I are in-laws, and you and I are close friends. Looking for you to inquire, it is much easier than looking for others, how can I be willing to seek the near and far?" If she is looking for the Min family, she has to let the Min family go back to her parents' house to inquire, the Min family does not have many people in Liaodong, which is another layer away, not enough to toss. Not to mention that the Min family is now about to go to work with her husband, she is actually not too embarrassed to disturb others, just because when the people below the county king's mansion reported Zhao Mo's whereabouts to her, they were a little ominous.

After inquiring about the news he was most concerned about, Qin Hanzhen also asked about the recent situation of the Cai family by the way.

Chu Zhengfang was imprisoned, and the Chu family immediately declined, and the children of the family were imprisoned, dismissed, demoted, and transferred, and the situation that had almost the upper hand in the city guards was reversed in an instant. And the Cai family's forces, who had already planned to withdraw from the city guard, had to abort the original plan and return to their original position, because the royal family still needed a reliable Jiangmen family to support the city guards. The Marquis of Yunyang was originally planning to go to Liaodong to participate in the war, but now he had to continue to stay in the capital. And the Min family, the Ma family and several other families quickly carved up the position that the Chu family had occupied. In addition, Qin Hanzhen's father, Qin Ping, was promoted by another level and officially returned to the official rank of Zheng Wupin. Today's city guards are a different story.

It's just that after this incident, Yunyang Hou has no intention of changing the original plan for the future of the Cai family. Even if they can continue to dominate the city guards, the children of the Cai family still have to gain a foothold in the army with military merits. Temporary power doesn't mean anything, and the Cai family needs to rely on it more steadily. The eggs are not put in the same basket, but also for the long-term development of the family.

When Cai Yuanzhen said these words, her expression was very serious. Obviously, the influence that the Chu family brought to the Cai family was far more than just a few positions in the city guard. In this regard, Qin Hanzhen couldn't say anything except silently. 2k reading web
