This indignation actually opened his eyes. It was already dusk outside the window, and a figure could be vaguely seen, Li Ruoyu mentioned it slightly in his heart, and shouted: "Who is outside the window?" ”

Xiang Xiang came in and said, "Second Miss, it's me, you're awake, but you're thirsty?" But when she entered the house, she saw that the second lady had just woken up with an unconcealable disappointment on her face......

Xiang Xiang sighed secretly in her heart, the second lady was sleeping soundly, and she missed the meal for a while, and the housekeeper in the county lord's mansion was ordered by the county lord of Huaiyin to bring dinner. The porcelain pot is served with a small charcoal stove, and the thick beef bone broth is simmered in it, the peeled radish cut into small pieces is also fully flavored, the squid cut into pineapple flowers is drizzled with an appetizing sauce, and the pig's trotters and wild bird eggs are braised in the same flavor. After blanching the yellow mung bean sprouts with water, they are mixed with a small plate of sweet and sour cilantro.

These dishes are all the second lady's favorite food, especially the pig's trotters roasted wild bird eggs are the second lady's new love after arriving in the north, when the brain is chaotic, because of a moment of greed, eat too much, and finally make a big nose out of the cold, Lord Sima will not be allowed to give her these after speaking, for this reason, the second miss still relentlessly grinds Lord Sima for a long time.

I don't know that today I have prepared this northern flavor alone, could it be that the lord of Huaiyin County is so careful that he can guess the taste of his second lady? But the second lady probably doesn't remember the story in this dish now.

Just when the housekeeper handed over, he knocked the second lady's dream shout, and the housekeeper naturally heard it clearly, so he smiled at him awkwardly and hurriedly entered the house.

I don't know what the second lady dreamed of, but there was a layer of white sweat in her brain. After wiping it with a hot hand towel, he served her to get up and eat.

Ruoyu looked at the dish and was slightly stunned, and intuitively picked up a bird egg that was burning deliciously. When I put it in my mouth and chewed it, I felt that it tasted beautiful...... She didn't know what she was thinking with her eyelids half-down, but this meal was to eat the plate of pig's trotters cleanly.

Although there are banquets and opera troupes in the county lord's manor every day, Li Ruoyu is a little like a year, and the sea route is not opened for a day, which is equivalent to her previous investment being wasted, and those goods naturally cannot be sold in the territory of Dachu because of the monopoly of the Bai family, and I don't know what kind of variables will arise after a long delay.

So as soon as the birthday banquet was over, she asked the county lord of Huaiyin to say goodbye. But Huaiyin refused to nod, just took her hand and said: "After you married Jinfeng, you went to the Northland, and I didn't take care of you as a sister, and now you are pregnant and have turned back to your mother's house, naturally Mrs. Li will take care of you, but you don't always have to be convenient for the errand servants in this manor, it is better to live here, I have arranged for you to deliver the stable mother, but it is a hand from the palace, and the experienced and foolproof is foolproof." ”

Li Ruoyu expected her to say this early in the morning, so she just smiled slightly and said: "Thank you for the kindness of the county lord, but if there are many affairs in Ruoyu's family, they have to be dealt with one by one, but it is inconvenient to bother more, I have already instructed my little servant to get off the carriage and horse, and leave early tomorrow morning, and come to say goodbye to the county lord before leaving." ”

The county lord of Huaiyin naturally saw that she had made up her mind, although she had been repeatedly told not to speak falsely, but in the end she still felt sorry for her cousin, and said with a slightly cold face: "Naturally, I know what you are thinking about, but no matter how important that business is, can it be more important than the blood in your stomach?" Let you stay here, is to hope that you can get the weight, don't chase the petty profits, but leave a lifelong regret! ”

Such words are not serious, but if foolish can not refute it, the county lord of Huaiyin is from a delicate background, if it were not for the relationship with Chu Jinfeng's marriage, she would not have been able to enter the gate of the manor before. In the eyes of those high-ranking women, this is naturally the top priority for their husbands, and what could be more important than this? The courtesy of the county lord of Huaiyin is just to take care of the child in her womb.

She held her breath, held back the words that came to her lips, and said: "The county lord is right, if you are foolish and pay attention, after returning home, you will reduce the number of people who go out, and raise the fetus at home with peace of mind." ”

The county lord of Huaiyin also felt that he was a little heavy, but the woman in front of him was really stubborn, and she insisted on going back, as if she was angry with someone.

Thinking of his cousin, he is actually stubborn, and when he is a cousin, he only feels that his head is slightly heavy. At the moment, he said: "My cousin, who looks calm and has a steady personality, is actually a woman who doesn't understand, he always does more than he says, and whether you love it or not, he presents what he can give to you."

When he wanted to marry you, I didn't think it was right...... It's not for the sake of the side, but I'm afraid that you won't want to be willing when you wake up, but you will become a pair of resentful couples. But he insisted on going his own way, for fear that your baby bump would fall into someone else's mansion, and I couldn't persuade my cousin to persuade me...... But looking at the meaning of the two of you now, it seems that I have come according to my previous worries...... They are in a stalemate, and they can see that others are in a hurry......"

If you know that there is some truth in the words of the county lord of Huaiyin, if you don't care about the fact that you are pregnant, you are afraid that it will be more ugly, so you will talk and say: "The good intentions of the county lord, if you understand." It's just that you also know that I am sober, if you are used to wandering outside since you were a child, you lose a little bit of the stability of an inner house woman, if you are sober, you will definitely not agree to Lord Sima's courtship. It's not because of the side, or I'm afraid that this inner house after marriage is not what I want to go, but I have to force myself to adapt...... This time I returned to the south, and I also hope that the adults will think clearly, whether Ruoyu is a suitable woman to accompany him for a lifetime. If you are foolish, you are afraid...... Adults will have remorse in the future......"

The county lord of Huaiyin was speechless when he heard this, and said, "Then what if he regrets it?" ”

Ruoyu didn't even think about it and said: "If Yuyu is willing to reconcile with the adult, but the child in this womb is too young to leave his biological mother, if the fool is willing to raise him as an adult and then recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, if the adult marries a new lady in the future and has his own child, and does not want him to return, Ruoyu will include him in the genealogy of the Li family, I don't know what the county thinks?" ”

The lord of Huaiyin County didn't expect this woman to think about how to act if they were separated, and it was no wonder that this woman was able to overcome obstacles all the way in the business sea.

But at this point, she didn't dare to continue. just took a long breath and said, "I knew you were like this, I really shouldn't have let Jinfeng marry you in the first place......"

Ruoyu didn't speak, but felt that the bitter taste in his mouth was spreading. I'm afraid the words of the county lord are also Chu Jinfeng's thoughts now, right? If it weren't for her, would he have married Princess Pingyao a long time ago and become a fairy and beautiful couple? Isn't he correcting the mistakes in his life now?

This conversation ended unhappily, and the county lord didn't do much to keep it, and Ruoyu set off on the second day to prepare to return to Liaocheng.

When I got out of the county lord's mansion, I passed through the lively street market, and saw that the place where the emperor posted the notice was surrounded by three floors. After reading it, the person who watched it turned around and came out and said to his companions: "This is really a knife used to kill chickens, it's just a handful of pirates, why are you still bothering Lord Sima from the north to go out on the expedition in person?" ”

Ruoyu sat in the carriage and was stunned for a moment, so he first opened the curtain and said to the incense: "Go, see what's going on?" ”

Speaking of this sea disaster, it is also a shame for the Chu State. In the South China Sea, there were three bands of pirates, plundering ships and defeating the officers and troops several times. Da Chu is in the land of four wars, perennial battles, and there are constantly famous generals rising, Chu Sima was famous in a battle with Xirong, and there is no shortage of land brave generals.

Only in naval warfare, Chu has never had a famous navy, because it has been dealing with the wars of the Quartet all the year round, and it is also unable to cultivate a navy, so there are a few pirate leaders. These three groups of pirates formed an alliance, and the state of Chu helped each other when they sent troops to encircle and suppress each other.

The previous county guard once sent an army to attack, and the three groups of pirates cooperated with each other, flanked back and forth, and defeated the Chu army.

At that time, the old emperor was still in charge, and when he heard the news, he was furious, and dispatched the navies of the southern counties to form a large army to kill the South China Sea. Unexpectedly, the tens of thousands of troops were not the opponents of a few pirate leaders, and they defeated the Chu army with tacit cooperation. From then on, from the imperial court to the county, they all turned a blind eye to the South China Sea, and let the three groups of pirates act as a prestige, but they were bitter merchants who ran away from the waterway.

Since the day he ascended the throne, the new emperor wanted to become the master of a generation of Zhongxing, and achieve hegemony in cultural and martial arts. First of all, it is necessary to completely control the court, internally it is to suppress the powerful ministers of the family, and externally, it is urgent to achieve a big victory to achieve prestige.

However, the defeat of the naval battle is still remembered by the government and the opposition, who is willing to take the military talisman and fight this naval battle with no guarantee at all? But he never thought that Lord Sima, who had nothing to do with him in the north, took the initiative to ask for instructions, rushed to Jianzhou, took the sea ship he commissioned Li Ruoyu to build, and gathered the local sea ships, ready to go to sea for a battle, and this time to post the emperor list, it is the good news that Chu Sima Qi won the victory, annihilated most of the ships of the Haikou, and won the first battle.

When Xiang Xiang came back, he told Li Ruoyu what he saw on the imperial list, only saying that the imperial list was posted three days ago, but it was just the day of today's market, so the crowd of onlookers did not disperse for a long time.

Li Ruoyu was just stunned when he heard it, and the only thought in his mind was: Is he crazy?

This naval battle, quite a bit thankless, although Mohe is in the north, but there is also a river mouth to connect the coast, he invited Li Ruoyu to build a sea ship, it is also to consolidate the sea defense line, but now he is conquest of the sea bandits, it can be said that he has exhausted the idea of furniture that he has accumulated for a long time, but I am afraid that behind this victory, it is also a huge sacrifice of his natural strength loss.

Now the Bai family is eyeing him, but his coastal defense line is broken...... Once......

Li Ruoyu didn't dare to think about it anymore. Hurriedly ordered the coachman to turn the carriage around and turn back to the county lord's manor.

The carriage was not moving fast in the crowd, and the storyteller's joke floated out of the teahouse.

Several counties in the south have been trapped by pirates for a long time, and when they heard of Sima's victory, the people were happy. This storyteller tells the story of Chu Sima vs. pirates in a teahouse restaurant.

I only heard that Mr. Storyteller was shocked, sang a promise, and said: "Today, I will tell the story of Master Sima who wisely earned pirates and forcibly took the three Kou on a bright moon night."

Let's say that Lord Sima gathered all the generals one day and said that he would exterminate the pirates. The generals dissuaded Sima one after another. A five-foot-tall Guan Daren, who bravely dominated the three armies, stepped forward and said: My lord, if you fight Haikou, I Guan Ba will be the first to go to the battlefield. It's just that this fight of pirates is up for debate. Not to mention that the South China Sea is not under the jurisdiction of adults, it is somewhat inappropriate to cross the border without authorization. It is only said that none of the officers and men of our army are good at naval warfare, nor do they know how to operate ships. On the warship, I am afraid that many soldiers will not be able to stand steadily, how can they compete with pirates? The sea is no better than the land, there are many variables, and the outcome is unpredictable.

Lord Sima said: "The Haikou invaded the Haijiang and made the coastal townspeople miserable, so today I will personally lead the troops, and if I don't destroy the Haikou and will not return." It's just that at this time, Mrs. Sima cried into the military tent and said: My husband is gone, I don't know how many years it will take, I will stay on the cliff every day, waiting for my husband to return.

This storyteller only wants to be lively, how can the general go out on the expedition without a beautiful woman? As for why the woman's family appeared in the barracks, it is not a gentleman's consideration.

At this time, a few scholars in the teahouse shook their heads and sighed: "The son of a daughter, you can't sit down." How could Lord Sima be in danger? As long as Sima is unharmed, even if the pirates are not exterminated this time, he will make a comeback in the future. If Lord Sima has a strength, even if he destroys the pirates, it will not make up for the trouble! ”

This remark immediately ignited the anxiety in Li Ruoyu's heart.

When she arrived at the county lord's mansion, she went straight to see the county lord and asked anxiously, "Lord Sima, but have you gone to exterminate the sea robbers?" ”

The county lord of Huaiyin glanced at her and said, "How can I know about this kind of military situation?" Just listen to his instructions, take care of you on your behalf, and settle your diet according to the recipe he sent. But he said that if there is any accident in the future, he will definitely take care of your mother and son......"

Li Ruoyu's heart was about to burn when he heard this, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Where is he now?" ”

The county lord of Huaiyin waved his hand and called the little guy who had sent the message in the past few days, and then he knew that Chu Sima was in Changzhou, not far from here, to rectify the sea ships and prepare for the next fierce battle.

If the fool hears this, there is not a moment's delay. Immediately turned around and prepared to go to Changzhou.

The county lord of Huaiyin looked at her, and he was helpless and angry in his heart, so he only asked someone to escort her all the way to Changzhou, which was near the sea.

But when the soldiers went to the camp to greet Lord Sima, and Mrs. Sima came to visit the camp, it didn't take a moment for the soldier to turn around, and said with an expressionless face: "Your Excellency has an order, the war is imminent, and all the idle people are gone!" 166 Reading Network
