Chapter 198: On Meritorious Deeds
Meng Feiyang still looked at Lu Wanwan from the mirror, that beautiful face had a calm that did not match her age, she remembered that when she first met this girl, she seemed to look at herself like this guarded and stern, until she slowly got acquainted, this different stubborn girl showed a trace of a sincere smile to him, Meng Feiyang couldn't remember when was the last time he saw her unguarded smile, but this qiē, wasn't it all messed up by himself, but he thought he didn't care, But why is there still a trace of gloom in my heart......
"Sir?" Lu Wan saw that Meng Feiyang had not spoken for a long time, so he frowned and called out.
"I see, it won't be like this in the future." A smile resurfaced on Meng Feiyang's face, and he assured Lu Wanwan.
Lu Wanwan temporarily put her mind at ease, and she didn't pursue Meng Feiyang's "frivolous" behavior, and she didn't think that Meng Feiyang was interesting to herself, she just thought that he was acting, but this method made her a little disliked.
After freshening up, it was time for breakfast, and the maids below had already prepared all kinds of snacks and set up a table full of them on the table outside.
Lu Wanwan didn't have much appetite in the evening, but he still drank a bowl of porridge and ate a few pieces of dim sum. Meng Feiyang didn't eat much, but tasted everything a little, and asked the maids to remove the things.
After the meal, Liuyun served tea again, and Meng Feiyang left her alone, pointed to her and Lu Wanwan and said, "This is my most important maid, named Liuyun, who is very careful in her work." In the past, she took care of my diet and daily life, so let her serve you in the future. ”
As soon as Meng Feiyang's words fell, Liuyun's body trembled slightly.
Meng Feiyang didn't notice Liuyun's abnormality, she still looked at Lu Wanwan with a smile, but Lu Wanwan, who had been observing Liuyun, found out, her hand gently flicked the lid of the teacup, and slowly said: "Since it is a person that the husband is used to, I should not be used to it, and the Liuyun girl has been with the husband for so long, doesn't the husband ask her about her own wishes?" ”
Meng Feiyang knew that Lu Wanwan deliberately shirked like this. I thought she was still messing with herself about what had just happened. He just glanced at her helplessly, and then turned to Liuyun on the side and asked, "What does Yun'er mean, are you willing to serve by Madame's side?" ”
Liuyun kept her head down, making it impossible to see her expression. Hearing Meng Feiyang's question. She seemed to hesitate slightly. Only then did he speak: "It is the honor of the slave maid to serve by the side of the lady, and the slave and maid are naturally willing." ”
Meng Feiyang nodded with satisfaction when he heard this. looked at Lu Wanwan again and asked: "Look, Yun'er is also willing, then let her go to your side from today onwards, she will definitely be able to help you in the house for so many years, if you don't understand anything, you can just ask her." ”
"Since it's my husband's intention, then I won't refuse." Lu Wanwan knew that Meng Feiyang wanted to push Liuyun out as soon as possible, and although he didn't want to take over this trouble, he couldn't, so he could only reluctantly agree.
"That's okay, Madame will familiarize yourself with the house in the next few days, I'm going to the barracks first, and I'll come back to eat with Madame at noon." Meng Feiyang got up and said to Lu Wanwan very gently.
"The concubine sent her husband out." Lu Wanwan also tried her best to play a considerate and good wife, and walked out of the room with Meng Feiyang.
It wasn't until Meng Feiyang was sent out of the house that Lu Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief, she glanced at Liuyun who was low-eyed behind her, and said lightly: "Liuyun, come with me." ”
Liuyun looked at Lu Wanwan's back, a trace of worry flashed on her face, she couldn't care about the sadness of being "abandoned" by Zheng Houzhong at this time, and she cheered up 120,000 points of spirit and prepared to deal with this new lady.
And at this moment in the barracks, someone had just woken up from a hangover, and he was woken up by someone who rubbed his face with a handkerchief.
Wang Baizhou felt a hot pain in his cheeks, as if someone was constantly brushing his face with a mane horse brush, he grabbed the hand that was messing with his face, frowned, and opened his eyes.
Qian Wuzhi, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, saw Wang Baizhou wake up, his face was suddenly very fine, his thick beard trembled, and his voice like Hong Zhong shouted: "Brother Wang, you have finally woken up, this sun is all a fart, stock." ”
Wang Baizhou was still frowning, looking at the handkerchief that Qian Wuzhi was holding, and said dissatisfiedly: "Aren't I just a hangover, do you need to wipe my face with that thing, you are treating my face as a horseback." ”
Qian Wuzhi looked at the handkerchief in his hand, immediately threw it aside, and said with a wry expression: "Oh, I just want to wipe your face, maybe you can wake up early, is it quite effective to see now." ”
Wang Baizhou has nothing to say about a big man like Qian Wuzhi, anyway, in his eyes, it should be similar to wiping his face and brushing the bristles of a war horse.
"Pour me a glass of water." Wang Baizhou stroked his headache and said to Qian Wuzhi.
Qian Wuzhi immediately got up and poured a glass of water, and brought it to Wang Baizhou, Wang Baizhou took the bowl and drank it in one gulp.
"Do you want more?" Qian Wuzhi asked again.
Wang Baizhou nodded, drank three bowls of white water, and then he felt better and let out a long breath.
Qian Wuzhi saw that Wang Baizhou was almost full, so he put the bowl aside and asked him: "Brother Wang, what happened to you yesterday, you have been drinking wine over there, I can't persuade you no matter how much I persuade you, is there something on your mind?" ”
Wang Baizhou didn't speak, just sat on the bed with a frown, as if he was thinking about something, and after a long time, he suddenly asked Qian Wuzhi: "Do you think that at the general's wedding banquet yesterday, the bride ...... Sound familiar? ”
Qian Wuzhi glanced at Wang Baizhou strangely when he heard this, and then he leaned forward and said very seriously: "Brother Wang, we can't have this thought, we all say that friends' wives can't be bullied, not to mention that it's our general's ......."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Wang Baizhou interrupted Qian Wuzhi's words with a smile and a somewhat irritated expression, "I just think that bride feels very familiar to me." ”
"Brother Wang, have you seen her before?" Qian Wuzhi saw that Wang Baizhou didn't look like a joke, so he guessed like this. "But I heard that the bride is Miss Dong Family, and she has been recuperating in the countryside because of her poor health, so you shouldn't have much chance to meet her......"
"It could be me...... Don't be careful, I'm almost stunned for this time......" Wang Baizhou smiled bitterly, shook his head and whispered.
Qian Wuzhi glanced at Wang Baizhou worriedly, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Brother Wang, are you still sad for Mr. Lu's departure?" ”
Wang Baizhou didn't speak, and it seemed that he had acquiesced. Qian Wuzhi reached out and patted Wang Baizhou on the shoulder. comforted: "Brother Wang." Don't be sad, it's not like you'll never see you again, didn't Mr. Lu say that he would write to you, you just wait. ”
Wang Baizhou was anxious because of this. It's been more than half a month. Mr. Lu has not heard from him at all. I don't know if I made it to the mountain city.
Maybe Mr. Lu was delayed on the road because of something, and Wang Baizhou could only comfort himself like this, but he was always uneasy in his heart. I don't know how I can have such a relationship.
"By the way, the portrait I gave you, you have news of the woman in it." Wang Baizhou suddenly thought of something, raised his head and asked Qian Wuzhi.
"I have asked the brothers to look around, but there is still no news." Qian Wuzhi immediately replied, and then couldn't help asking, "Brother Wang, who is this woman?" You're so nervous, you can't be your confidante. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, it's just that I'm the daughter of an old man, and I also helped him find it." Wang Baizhou didn't tell anyone else about Lu Ren's search for his daughter, he felt that Lu Ren trusted himself to tell him what happened to him, but he couldn't talk about his affairs everywhere.
"That's it......" Qian Wuzhi nodded, and recalled with a wistful expression, "But the woman in the painting is really beautiful, I have grown so big, I have never seen such a beautiful woman, I don't know if I am married, if you are not married, you can marry into the door and be a daughter-in-law." ”
"What do you think, I'm not polite to you if you talk nonsense." Wang Baizhou slapped Qian Wuzhi's head and said unhappily.
Qian Wuzhi was silent at this time, Wang Baizhou got up from the bed, changed into clean clothes, finished washing, and went out of the bed with Qian Wuzhi.
As soon as he got out of the tent, a small soldier came up and said, "Tell the two lieutenant generals, the general has just entered the camp, let the villain come and invite the two of you over." ”
Wang Baizhou and Qian Wuzhi glanced at each other, and then said to the soldier: "You go back and tell the general, this deputy general and Qian will go over immediately." ”
The soldier took the order and departed as fast as he could. Qian Wuzhi pursed his teeth and hissed lightly, and said with a puzzled face: "This general is really hard enough, today is his first day of marriage, so he came to the office in the barracks in a hurry, and he is not afraid of snubbing the beautiful girl who has just entered the mansion?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, General Xu really has something important to discuss with us, let's hurry over." Wang Baizhou was obviously surprised by Zheng Houzhong's arrival, but he didn't show it like Qian Wuzhi, just urged him to say.
The two came to the general's battle, and after the soldiers outside reported it, they invited the two in.
In the tent, in addition to Zheng Houzhong, who was sitting upright and sitting on the throne, Li Xiao was also inside, he saw Wang Baizhou and the two come in, only glanced at them slightly, and turned his eyes to the side.
Wang Baizhou's eyes only saw Zheng Houzhong after the big case, different from the familiar general in his memory, he did not wear the most commonly worn strong suit in the past, but wore a wide and loose straight deep coat, and the outside was draped in a dark crane, he just sat there very casually, but it made people jealous and did not dare to look directly.
Meng Feiyang raised his head slowly, only glanced at Wang Baizhou and Qian Wuzhi lightly, and the two of them immediately lowered their heads, bowed and clasped their fists and saluted, "The last general, Wang Baizhou/Qian Wuzhi, I have seen the general." ”
Wang Baizhou felt that there was a gaze on him, and for some reason, there was a sense of oppression in his heart, which made him dare not act rashly, and after a while, he heard a slightly casual voice say slowly: "They are all their own brothers, no need to be polite." ”
Wang Baizhou suddenly felt that the pressure on his body had dropped sharply, so he raised his head, and glanced at Zheng Houzhong on the seat again, just in line with his gaze, although he was smiling, it was still jealous.
"A few lieutenants should sit down, and there is no need to be formal." Meng Feiyang put one hand on his cheek and pointed to the empty seats in front of him as he spoke.
Wang Baizhou and Qian Wuzhi sat on one side, Wang Baizhou sat in front of Qian Wuzhi, and Li Xiao sat on the other side, facing Wang Baizhou, obviously unwilling to be under him.
Meng Feiyang looked at this scene, he already had some consideration in his heart, his index finger tapped lightly on the table, and slowly spoke: "Several of you should know that I had a serious illness a few days ago, and I have just recovered recently, and I don't remember many things. ”
"The general is falsely praised, and the last general really doesn't dare to be." Wang Baizhou had already stood up and replied modestly, and then sighed and said, "To say credit." In fact, it is Mr. Lu who has the greatest credit, but it's a pity...... He's no longer here. ”
"I naturally know Mr. Lu's credit, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been able to recover so quickly, but he insisted on leaving, and I couldn't stop him, when he left, I had already given him a big gift, and Bai Zhou didn't need to worry about it anymore."
Wang Baizhou pursed his lips, didn't say anything more, nodded and sat down.
"I won't forget the merits of the two of you, I will reward each of you with a hundred gold, you don't want too little." Meng Feiyang looked at Wang Baizhou and the two with a smile and said.
"The last general doesn't dare, General Xie rewards." Wang Baizhou and Qian Wuzhi immediately got up and thanked Meng Feiyang.
Meng Feiyang waved his hand to get the two of them up, and then continued: "I came today, in addition to rewarding meritorious deeds, I also want to discuss one more thing with the three of you. ”
Wang Baizhou and the three of them all looked at Meng Feiyang with serious expressions, waiting for his next words.
"Baizhou, how many soldiers are there in my barracks?" Meng Feiyang didn't say what was going on right away, just looked at Wang Baizhou and asked.
"General Hui, my Zheng family army now has nearly 80,000 soldiers and horses, of which 30,000 are the original soldiers of my Zheng family's army, 20,000 are the Sun family's soldiers, and they have now been scattered and incorporated into our army, and 30,000 are the troops of the original Qin Wangfu, which are now commanded by Deputy General Li alone." When Wang Baizhou said the last sentence, he also glanced at Li Xiao on the other side by the way, and the meaning of his words was meaningful, as if he wanted to remind Zheng Houzhong that Li Xiao had not completely returned to the Zheng family.
