Chapter 50: Daughter-in-law

Lian'er's face softened slightly when she heard this: "Since the miscarriage that year, every time the prince comes to me, I feel depressed, this knot in my heart, maybe it will take time." Ah Xiu frowned slightly: "You are bored because you care, it is okay to put it in the homes of ordinary people, but the emperor's family is self-suffering, now the prince often goes to you, you have to learn to let go, and having a new child is the right way, otherwise you will be narrow step by step." ”

Lian'er bowed her head and was silent, and only after a long time did she raise her head and stare at Ah Xiu: "Does my sister think I will really have children?" Ah Xiu smiled when he heard this: "That's nature, how could I lie to you, you don't look back at the past, and naturally a good day will come." Lian'er thoughtfully: "Do your best!" ”

In the blink of an eye, it was July, but it was Cheng Huan's birthday, Zhu Yuanzhang drank a few more glasses, was so drunk that he rested early without changing his clothes, but Xu Da sent an urgent message from Huzhou on the third watch, Ah Xiu pushed Zhu Yuanzhang not to wake up, thought left and right, ordered Su to palm the lamp, and read the letter by himself.

In the letter, Xu Da was quite anxious, saying that Zhang Shicheng was in a hurry to increase troops in the Anfeng area of Huzhou, and he was afraid that something would happen, so he asked Zhu Yuanzhang to show him. After reading the letter, Ah Xiuzhan pushed Zhu Yuanzhang again, but he still couldn't wake up.

Ah Xiu pondered again and again, sighed, studied the ink with his heart, thought about it for a while, and imitated Zhu Yuanzhang's handwriting and replied: Xu Xiangguo can send 20,000 sailors, army and horses to attack Xinghua, Gaoyou, and Huai'an. There are few thieves in these cities, Gaoyou has less than 5,000 soldiers and civilians, and Huai'an has only 6,000 people. Changping Zhang's military horses are outside Hai'an City, haunting from time to time, patrolling Tongzhou Salt Fields and other places, it is necessary to be careful. Zhang Kou saw that our army and horses went to attack Huai'an, went deep into Huaidi, and was far away from the army, so he would come to fight with Chang Pingzhang, otherwise, he would make the big ship attack the ground up and down Zhenjiang. That's not what to expect. Every time you see a high place, and every word you do, don't cling to my words.

After writing and examining it again, Fang packed it in a bamboo tube, sealed it with oil wax and pressed it, and ordered the sergeant to send it back quickly.

On the second day, Zhu Yuanzhang woke up, Ah Xiu told the truth, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "I was very happy and greedy for a cup for a while, if it wasn't for Mrs. to reply to the letter for me, it would almost be a big deal, why should Mrs. be so cautious?" Ah Xiu also smiled: "The affairs in the army should have been dictatorial and dictatorial to the prince, after all, I am a woman, and I should not interfere in political affairs, even if the prince believes me, I still have to tell the truth to be worthy of the prince's love." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's smile deepened, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were shallow: "Madam, Madam, the more cautious you are, do you know that as a husband, you think Madame is cute?" Ah Xiu said shyly: "Old husband and wife, what are you talking about!" Zhilan is going to give birth soon, so go and see her! ”

"Hahaha! What does Madame blush for? Why is the old husband and wife getting thinner? Seeing that Ah Xiu's face was getting redder and redder, and twisted his arm, Zhu Yuanzhang stopped teasing her, "That's it, Zhilan naturally wants to go and see it, but now there are important things to discuss with Mrs.: Ah Xiu thinks, when is it appropriate to send troops?" ”

Ah Xiu thought about it a little and said seriously: "The first day of August is an auspicious day, and it is the best. Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Just Mrs." Ah Xiu was not at ease, and advised: "Everything is appropriate, and it will naturally be successful, but the prince needs to inform General Boren, and don't kill again." General Boren is brave and fierce, and he is a victorious general, always killing and surrendering, Yu Wangye's loss of wisdom is small, and General Yu himself is useless after all. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded when he heard this: "I will repair the book to Boren now, so that he can love the people and not kill him." Ah Xiu was very pleased, and he personally studied the ink on the side, watching Zhu Yuanzhang write--Boren needs to remember when receiving the letter: refrain from soldiers, do not plunder, do not kill, do not send mounds and tombs, and do not destroy houses.

Ah Xiu looked at it and nodded: "The prince is thoughtful, so since then, there is no need to worry." Zhu Yuanzhang laughed: "It's the lady who thinks carefully!" When Ah Xiu heard this, his face turned red again.

Speaking of Chang Yuchun, Ah Xiu remembered something again: "Does the prince know that General Chang's family has three sons and one daughter?" Zhu Yuanzhang was unexpectedly asked by A Xiu, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "It seems to be, but I can't remember clearly?" What is Ashuti doing? ”

Ah Xiu grinned: "I want to choose a good daughter-in-law for the prince!" Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized: "Do you mean that Boren's daughter is a daughter-in-law for Biao'er?" Ah Xiu nodded: "That's right!" General Boren's eldest daughter is one year older than Biao'er, and there is a folk proverb: a female freshman, hugging a golden rooster. Moreover, Boren's pearl in the palm has been outstanding since he was a child, and he has a gentle temperament, which is the most suitable for Biao'er. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed: "That's it!" My family Ah Xiu is used to being a matchmaker, and now that Biao'er is only eleven years old, you, a mother, are busy choosing a wife for him, what a hard work! ”

Ah Xiu pinched Zhu Yuanzhang: "Such a good daughter-in-law candidate, if I don't mention it earlier, he will be married by someone else one day, and then I will see that you are not in a hurry as a father!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted bitterly: "Mrs. Quanyi is, why pinch me again, you pinched me twice in the past half a day." Here! He rolled up his sleeves as he spoke, "Look, it's all bruised!" Ah Xiu pouted and said, "Which one told you to make fun of me?" I don't know if Ah Xiu's joke can be made? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Take pity on my side of the prince, what an honor!" There is a Hedong lion at home, sad and sad! After speaking, he didn't wait for Ah Xiu to get angry, he dodged out a few steps early, hid behind the table and looked at Ah Xiu with a smile: "Madame, don't be annoyed!" For the husband, he will send someone to the Boren Mansion to propose his relatives! As he spoke, he walked away quickly. Leaving Ah Xiu jumping to his feet in a huff, Su Xin and the others laughed sullenly.

On the first day of the eighth month, Zhu Yuanzhang personally sacrificed to the god of the river, and according to Ah Xiu's meaning, he personally instructed the soldiers:

"The people of Yu Benhao Liang were first in the army, and gradually raised their troops. Seeing that the fallacy could not be accomplished, he overtook the difficulties of Hu Yun and made meritorious contributions, so he led his troops across the river. Relying on the spirit of the ancestors of heaven and earth and the power of the generals, there is Jiangzuo in one drum, and then the battle will be determined in eastern Zhejiang. The title of Chen, according to my upstream, is the master of the crime. ”

"However, Zhang Shicheng of Zigu Su sold salt goods for the people, robbed the rivers and lakes, and raised troops to gather murderers, and his crime was also one. Fraud surrendered to Yuan, and its two sins are also. Later, the soldiers were less than tens of thousands, and the land was less than 1,000 miles. At the beginning of my side, I committed Zhejiang Province again, and it was a fraud to surrender to Yuan, and its four crimes were also. Yang received the name of the Yuan Dynasty, and the Yin acted as a false king's order, and its sins were five. Occupy the money and grain of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and do not pay tribute for ten years, and its six crimes are also. Knowing that Yuangang has fallen, he openly harmed his prime minister and Nantai doctor, and his crime is seven. lure me into rebelling and plundering my border people, and his crimes are eight. All these eight sins should be requisitioned, so as to appease the world and help the people. (To be continued.) )
