Half an hour later, Garlic Mountain Township, Liu Mu's home.

In the dim room, the light was beating slightly, and in a half-old candlestick, less than half of the lamp oil remained, supporting the burning of the flames, reflecting the shadows of the three people on the wall, long.

Liu Muzhi and Liu Yu sat opposite each other, each kneeling on a broken straw mat, and in front of each of them was a small table, which was empty, and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young woman sat next to Liu Muzhi.

She has a jingchai cloth skirt, black hair, willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and a dignified appearance, although she is dressed as a civilian, it is still difficult to hide her elegance, is it not Liu Muzhi's wife Jiang Qianwen?

Liu Muzhi coughed dryly and said to Jiang Qianwen: "Madam, have you heard about today's incident?" ”

Jiang Qianwen sighed faintly: "The concubine has long persuaded her husband not to go to the banquet, but she is afraid that such a thing will happen, my two brothers are both bitter and mean people, and even my father is difficult to control." Today's husband is wronged, and the concubine is willing to bear it, as long as it can make you feel better, the concubine can do anything. ”

Liu Muzhi smiled slightly and shook his head: "It is said that poor couples mourn everything, but I have no regrets when I am with my wife, your brother's affairs have nothing to do with you and your father-in-law." Besides, it's because I haven't achieved anything so far, so your brothers look down on me, and I don't blame them entirely. ”

Jiang Qianwen Feng's eyes were swirling, and she looked at Liu Yu, who was silent: "Thank you Liu Daxia for your help, thanks to you today, otherwise, the concubine doesn't know how this matter should end?" ”

Liu Yu smiled indifferently: "This is what I should do, Mu Zhi and I are self-sufficient, if I don't help him get ahead today, who will help him get ahead?" ”

Liu Muzhi hooked the corners of his mouth: "Okay, madam, today I just want to invite the slave to have a good drink, first, to thank you, and secondly, to eat." ”

A trace of doubt flashed in Jiang Qianwen's eyes: "Okay? What do you mean? Liu Daxia wants to go hiking? ”

Liu Yu shook his head: "No, I am preparing to serve the country in the army and make meritorious contributions." ”

Jiang Qianwen said softly: "Does Liu Daxia care about the old mother and younger brother at home?" ”

Liu Yu said with a smile: "Hu Lu is about to go south, and the war is about to break out, this is a good opportunity for men to make contributions on the battlefield and gain fame." I've won a lot of money in the casino these days, enough for my family to use for a while, and I'll come back when the battle is over. Besides, those who are recruited in the army also have a military salary. ”

Jiang Qianwen nodded and looked at Liu Muzhi: "Liu Daxia said very well. Husband, you are full of talent, this meritorious work should not be left behind, the concubine thinks that you had better join the army with Liu Daxia! ”

Liu Yu's heart moved, he didn't expect that Jiang Qianwen would take the initiative to ask Liu Muzhi to join the army, and the two of them discussed a lot of countermeasures when Jiang Qianwen didn't want Liu Muzhi to come out, but he didn't expect to use it directly.

Liu Muzhi was also a little surprised, and said strangely: "Madam, what's wrong with today, even if I went to Jiankang and Guangling City in the past, you were unwilling in every way, why do you want me to join the army now?" ”

Jiang Qianwen sighed faintly: "If the husband wants to make meritorious contributions and strive for fame, how can the concubine not know?" It's just that the concubine has always thought that there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest, and the concubine has not yet conceived a boy and a half girl for her husband, and she is reluctant to let her husband travel far away. ”

"But this time it's different, Liu Daxia is right, this time the opportunity is really rare, General Xie built a curtain and recruited talents, different from the usual imperial court candidates, as long as there are people with real talent and learning, they will definitely be able to get ahead. Moreover, the two brothers who are humiliated by the concubine today are because they have no merit. The concubine knows that the husband is arrogant, and he will definitely not go to his mother's house and ask his father for officials through the concubine, so how can the concubine stop the husband? ”

Liu Muzhi nodded with satisfaction: "Madame understands righteousness, if you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for!" ”

Jiang Qianwen stood up and smiled at Liu Muzhi: "Fujun and Liu Daxia will sit down for a while, and the concubine will go to fetch wine." ”

Jiang Qianwen said, bowed to Liu Yuwei, nodded and saluted, and then walked out of the house, Liu Yu sighed: "Fatty, with such a wife, there will be no regrets in this life." ”

Liu Muzhi said with a smile: "That is, marrying her is really a blessing that I have cultivated for several lifetimes." It's just that I forgot that there is no alcohol at home, and I want her to go to the cash sale, so that you have been waiting for a long time, sorry. ”

Liu Yu smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, I'm ready to drink today's wine." Come, fatty, let's talk about what happened after joining the army. ”

Half an hour later, Liu Muzhi's brows furrowed slightly: "Why haven't you been here for so long?" The Li family liquor shop at the head of the village only takes a quarter of an hour to go back and forth. ”

Liu Yu was also a little nervous: "It's getting late, why don't we go out and have a look." ”

The two were about to get up, but they heard Jiang Qianwen's voice ringing outside the house: "The concubine is back." ”

Liu Muzhi and Liu Yu glanced at each other, sat down, and saw Jiang Qianwen pushing the door in, holding a small jar of wine in her right hand, and carrying a few lotus leaf packages in her left hand.

Liu Muzhiqi said: "Madam, where have you been?" Does it take that long to sell wine? ”

Jiang Qianwen's expression was a little strange, and she shook her head: "In addition to selling wine, I also bought some appetizers, Liu Daxia and her husband got together to discuss big things, how can you drink without side dishes?" ”

As she spoke, she put a few lotus leaf bags on top of the small table, after opening, a burst of meat fragrance came to the nose, only to see a package with pig's head meat, another purse with sauce duck, the third purse with wind chicken, the last purse is a bag of drunken shrimp, as the wine jar is opened, the aroma of meat and wine are mixed together, making people's appetite move.

For families like Liu Muzhi and Liu Yu, such a sumptuous dinner is difficult to eat even during the New Year's holidays.

Liu Muzhi opened his mouth wide in surprise: "Madam, how can there be so much delicious food?" Where does the family get the money? ”

Liu Yu also wanted to ask the same question, but his eyes fell on Jiang Qianwen's body, but he suddenly found that she was still in a jingchai cloth skirt when she left, but at this time, she used several green pads to wrap her head, and under the green pads, she couldn't see the black and thick hair.

Liu Yu suddenly understood, it turned out that Jiang Qianwen actually cut one of her hair and sold it to those who were celebrities, in exchange for the money to sell wine and snacks for herself and Liu Muzhi.

Liu Muzhi obviously reacted as well, he grabbed Jiang Qianwen's hand at once, and tears gleamed in his eyes: "Madam, how can you, how can you do this?" ”

Jiang Qianwen smiled slightly: "As long as you can make your husband happy, what's the matter?" If the husband is not at home, the concubine does not need to show her beautiful side to others. Okay, the wine is getting cold, husband and Liu Daxia, please use it. ”
