Chapter 16: Jealousy

Zhen led his cronies and half of his soldiers to leave Pingyang and return to Chang'an via Hedong. The chief of the half of the soldiers was Yang Qing, the deputy governor, who served carefully before and after the saddle along the way, and won the love of Zhen Sui.

Zhen Sui said, in the last battle of Pingyang, although you didn't make any great contributions, but accumulating meritorious deeds, you are just a little bit away from being promoted. It doesn't matter, I can't find any credit for it, as long as I say a few kind words for you in front of the Metropolitan Governor, I believe that when we go back to Pingyang, you will be promoted to the rank of Governor.

Yang Qing bowed down first, thanked Zhen Sui for his kindness, and then asked: "Since the Metropolitan Governor has summoned General Zhen, will he send the general to Pingyang again?" ”

Zhen Sui pursed his lips and said Of course, I went to Chang'an to report on my work, and I was not dismissed from office-otherwise, how could Wang Ze only "act" the military of two counties?

At this time, he had crossed the Yellow River and entered Guanzhong, Zhen immediately raised a whip on horseback, pointed to the golden ears of wheat in the fields on both sides, and explained to Yang Qing: "Looking at this situation, this year's harvest of grains is a good year, but with the accumulation of grain and materials, this winter and next spring, there will definitely be a big battle to be fought." Shi Hu is in Taiyuan, eyeing Pingyang, if our army has spare strength, how can it not strike first? ”

Yang Qing applauded and said: "The general said well, 'tiger eye', 'preemptive', the idiom is also used well, and the general will obey." ”

Zhen laughed with "haha", and then continued: "Once Pingyang has been restored and Hu Kou has fled, the only enemy I face in front of is Shi Hu. I expect that after the autumn, Shile will inevitably send troops, either to attack Qingxu, or to Yanyu, or maybe to attack Hanoi. If Zu Gong sent people to Guanzhong for help, the road was far away, and the governor could only send 120,000 soldiers to help at most.

In a certain opinion, it is better to gather a large army in Pingyang and go north to attack Shihu to break Shile's arm. Moreover, in order to save Shihu, Shile's offensive in the east will inevitably weaken - this is called what to surround and what to save......"

Yang Qing said: "The last general has no learning, and I can't remember clearly, it seems that he was besieging Wei to save Zhao or something." ”

Zhen Sui nodded: "It seems to be this word." Previously, under the city of Pingyang, only Guo Mo and Liu Guang participated in the war with the governor of the capital, so the generals could not take credit, how could they be happy? Therefore, the governor of the capital summoned me back to Chang'an, if I am in Pingyang for a long time, there will inevitably be villains talking about it. However, as long as the lord repeatedly pleads, if the governor sends troops again, he will eventually take me with him - you can naturally go to the battlefield again as a governor. ”

Yang Qing said in his heart that it is my wish to be promoted to the governor of the ministry, but "going to the battlefield again" will be exempted...... It's best to find a peaceful place where there are no strong enemies on the outside and only a small group of bandits inside, and send me to be a guard......

As he was talking, he suddenly saw six or seven horsemen coming towards him, and he was just blocking the department with Zhen Sui's department - the shortcut they copied was not a big road, and the width was more than two zhang, so it was really inconvenient to avoid people.

The cavalry who had gone out turned back and reported it, saying, "It was Wang Zhi who came from Chang'an, and he wanted to go to the east through this." ”

Zhen Suiyi frowned: "Wang Gong? Then he raised his head and said, "Please ask him to avoid the way, I have a lot of people here, and it is inconvenient for him to do so." ”

The cavalry received the order and galloped away. Zhen Sui and Yang Qing looked up, and sure enough, the time was not big, and they saw that the six or seven horsemen dismounted, led their mounts and avoided the fields next to the road. The Jin army got through, and when he passed by Wang Gong and others, Yang Qing dismounted and saluted, but Zhen Sui only bowed his hand slightly on horseback: "Wang is engaged, it's rare." ”

Wang Gong also saluted: "Is General Zhen going back to Chang'an to report on his work?" ”

The two exchanged a few words casually, and then broke up - Zhen Sui always refused to get off the horse. When the department was over, Wang Gong looked at Zhen Sui's back, couldn't help sneering, and whispered to the left and right: "This fang is so arrogant and rude, how can it last long?!" ”

——————————

After Zhen Sui entered Chang'an City, he ordered Yang Qing to lead his troops to the military department to find a place to settle himself. The Liang family had already gotten the news, and they were overjoyed, and they hurried to the gate to greet him, but they only met Zhen Sui, but when they saw Zhen Sui get off the horse, he turned his head first-

The van slowly stopped, the curtain of the car was lifted, and a young maid jumped out first, and then placed a stepping stool and helped down a young woman in brocade clothes, and the young woman's abdomen was high and bulging, and she was clearly pregnant......

Liang's face turned green on the spot, and the halberd finger asked Zhen Sui angrily: "Who is this?!" ”

This pregnant woman's surname is Lu, and she is the concubine of the Lu clan in Puban, Hedong - I think that when Lu Hu invited Zhen to his home for a banquet, he not only presented two boxes of treasures, but also gave two beautiful maids, and the Lu family was among them. Zhen Sui originally wanted to keep his second daughter in Puban, but when he went to Pingyang, he got a message saying that Lu was pregnant...... So this time I returned to Chang'an, passing through Pusaka, and found a car to pick her up.

According to Zhen Sui's original intention, if the Lu family gives birth to a daughter, it will be fine, if it is a boy, this is my eldest son, and it is impossible to hide it from Mrs. Liang all the time. It is better to take the Lu family to Chang'an, let her give birth in the big city, and if she gets a man, she will be raised in the main room - this is the practice at that time, even if Wulingman has similar customs.

Hearing Liang's question at the moment, he hurriedly accompanied the smiling face and introduced the two. Lu Shi was pregnant with Liujia, and it was difficult to bend down, so he had to bow his head deeply and say, "Meet Madame." Liang stared at her for a short while, then suddenly shouted, ignored Zhen Sui, turned around and rushed in.

Zhen Sui was taken aback, and hurriedly chased after him. When he was admitted to the hospital, he saw Liang in front of him picking up a broom, twisting his waist, and throwing it at Zhen Sui's face. Zhen followed the cross arm and landed on the broom, but then he saw a crockpot the size of his own head roaring again.

Zhen casually said that this girl is crazy, can't she?! The cross arm blocked again, and with a "bang", the crockpot shattered, and the contents inside poured his arm - fortunately, this was a jug, not a urinal.

Zhen Sui shouted: "How dare you be unreasonable, shouldn't I be your husband?!" As a marquis of Xiangben and a general of Wuwei, isn't it allowed to take a concubine? ”

Liang's willow eyebrows were upside down, and he cross-examined: "The great Sima is a very popular minister, and I don't see him taking a concubine, you are a general of Wuwei, what is there to say?!" ”

Zhen Sui was stunned when he heard this, and then shouted: "Mrs. Dadu is the Xun family, what kind of background is that, and she can forbid Dadu Governor to take concubines." Do you think the Liang family is very prominent? If there was no me, Brother Ru would have ended up like a Yang invincible! ”

Liang scolded: "Although my Liang family's family is low, it is always higher than you as a southern barbarian!" For example, if your family eats in the top of the list, and you, the barbarian, have to eat and row up a row of crockpots, isn't it ridiculous? If you don't learn, you even learn to take a concubine, and you still refuse to tell me first! ”

In fact, not to mention the aristocratic eunuchs in these years, even the commoners with more affluent families have three wives and four concubines, and the Liang family may not be unconscious. But what she hates is that I'm an eldest woman, even if you want to take a concubine, you have to inform me first, until you make people's stomachs bigger, what do you mean? Raw rice cooked into rice, creating a fait accompli, I can't object to it?

When Zhen heard this, he pouted: "What about the crockpot?" The master has soldiers, and I can smash any Lieding! The lord has the right, I said that the crockpot in the hall was handed down by Yao Shun, which is more noble than Xia Yu Jiuding, which dares to object? ! ”

These words stunned Liang: "You still know Yao Shun and Xia Yu ......"

Zhen Sui is so angry, do you really think I don't understand anything, are you a pure brute? When the lord was in Xuzhou, he saw Tian'er and heard the governor of the capital say that it was ancient, and I even knew Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty! Immediately took an arrow step, rushed forward, hugged Liang's ring, and then copied down with his left hand, raised his right hand on the top, and hugged his wife directly.

Liang wanted to struggle, but he couldn't afford Zhen Sui's strength, his arms were like iron hoops, and he couldn't move at all when he caught her, so he could only continue to scold with his throat. Zhen picked up his wife, jumped into the side room in three or two steps, and then kicked his right leg back and closed the door.

The servants and the subordinates are all terrified. When I listened attentively, I heard Liang's scolding getting lower and lower, and soon there was a "hmm", as if he had even blocked his mouth, and then ......

Several handmaidens turned red and ran away. The servants stared wide-eyed, and said in their hearts that it was not appropriate for you to engage in such children in the broad daylight...... There is a lady outside the door, but what should I do?

is still a cronie of the trilogy, who knows Zhen Sui best, so he hurriedly helped the Lu family into the house and found a room to settle down, and at the same time- "Don't close the door yet, do you want to wait for other families to come and see the joke?!" ”

——————————

Zhen Sui finally took Liang's bed, and he couldn't help but feel comfortable and refreshed. So he changed into clean clothes and came to the Great Sima Mansion to pay homage to Pei Gai.

Pei Gai smiled when he saw him: "Qing has a big sour smell." ”

Zhen frowned when he heard this, quickly raised his right arm to the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and asked suspiciously: "I did pour some water, but it wasn't vinegar, how can it have a sour taste?" ”

Only then did Pei Gai realize that the allusion of "jealousy" was only found in the Tang Dynasty...... So he explained vaguely: "There was once a noble official, whose wife was not allowed to take concubines, and the Son of Heaven praised his merits and bestowed two beauties, but he did not dare to accept it." Then the Son of Heaven ordered a pot of vinegar to be filled with poison, and called his wife Yun: 'If you are not allowed to take a concubine, you can cut it yourself.' His wife really trickled down the whole pot of vinegar and drank it in one gulp, and the Son of Heaven had no choice but to take back Ermei. ”

Zhen Sui smiled: "I see. My wife is very virtuous, and she will never be jealous. ”

Pei Gai also smiled: "Or throw the vinegar pot to his husband......"

Zhen Sui cross-examined: "The governor has no vinegar smell on him, but why don't he accept concubines?" ”

Pei Gai was speechless, and said in his heart that this barbarian's tongue was getting sharper and sharper...... Then he waved his hand, ordered Zhen Sui to sit down, took the opportunity to change the topic, and asked, "Qing is from Pingyang, how is Liu Shou?" ”

Zhen replied: "I don't understand civil affairs, but seeing that Mrs. Liu is over fifty years old, gray-haired, and Pingyang is full of Hu and Qiang, and the hearts of the people are not convinced, and he is fierce, I don't know if he can control it." Fortunately, Xiao Yao is still in the city, and if anyone dares to disobey the order, they can all be cut down, so as not to cause chaos. ”

Then he arched his hand and said: "When I came, I heard that Tuoba had already gone south to attack Taiyuan, and I don't know if it's true or not. ”

Pei Gai nodded: "That's true." ”

Before Pei Gai went north to Pingyang, he first sent people to Daidi to persuade Tuoba Yulu to go south and attack Taiyuan County. At present, Jin is very strong, I believe that Yu Lu is perfunctory, but I will never dare to refuse.

It's a pity that the envoys come and go, and it takes time for Yu Lu to gather his subordinates, so it is impossible to cooperate with Pei Gai tacitly - if there is a big battle under Pingyang City, Tuoba will go south in a big way, and Shi Hu will have a high probability that he will not be able to hold Jinyang City.

However, although Yu Lu's action was slow, he still moved after all, and he had just received the report a few days ago, Tuoba Xianbei six or seven thousand horsemen, and entered the territory of Jiuyuan and Dingxiang - the reason why he chose this time to start was because the autumn harvest was imminent, and he could snatch the wheat in the wild. For now, it is not known how Shi Hu will deal with it, and whether he will be willing to send troops to fight Tuoba.

Pei Gai and Zhen Sui discussed the situation in Pingyang and talked for a long time, until dusk, when they ordered him to return home to rest. Because I said that I was going to have dinner with my wife on this day, I won't keep you - Pei Caidu heard the sound of Huanpei behind the screen......

So when Zhen went out, he also got up and returned to the inner room, Xun Guanniang really ordered to arrange the wine and food, just waiting for her husband to come. The general habit of these years is to eat separately, and everyone has their own food plan, but Pei Gai's soul comes from later generations, and he feels that if the husband and wife are like this, they will inevitably have a share and lack a happy family atmosphere. So he specially ordered someone to build a square table, so that he could eat opposite his wife.

Of course the mother-in-law didn't come, she is a noble lady of the Xun family, and she has always come to give gifts, how can she have dinner with her son-in-law at the same table? Baoda followed Pei Gai's instructions, and was also carried over by the nanny, and sat next to Pei Gai.

Bao Da is used to eating by himself, and he doesn't need to be urged by adults, so he keeps stuffing the food into his mouth, the corners of his mouth, his chin, and even the placket of his clothes, all of them are soup and rice grains. I don't know who I look like when I eat so ugly, and I don't know who it looks like......"

Almost every time the whole family eats together, Pei Gai is used to it, and he immediately doesn't have a brain, so he casually brushes it off: "It's Qingsheng, don't do my business." ”

Xun Guanniang glared and said, "What do you say, husband?" How can you say that it's not about your husband?! ”

Pei Gai hurriedly explained: "Madame heard it, I mean that Baoda has always been raised by Madame, so if you teach it like this, you naturally don't do anything to me...... The child is still young, so why should he be strict with his manners? And it's not very fat, so what's wrong with eating more? He asked the nanny for a hand towel and helped Baoda wipe his mouth.

Xun Guanniang was dissatisfied with her husband's shirking of responsibility, so she couldn't help but pout, and asked him: "I heard that Zhen Sui and his wife were fighting, and they almost killed me with laughter - even that barbarian man even learned to take concubines, so why didn't her husband refuse to take concubines?" Let the barbarian talk in vain! ”

Pei Caixin said when did you hide behind the screen, and you even heard such ancient words...... Hurriedly waved his hand: "There is a child here, don't talk about such things." ”

Bao Lian nodded again and again and admonished his mother: "Daddy said that you don't say anything when you eat, and you don't say anything when you sleep." ”

Xun Guanniang was angry and funny, and immediately scolded: "Since you know this, why do you speak?" We are all talking in vain, and your mouth full of juice is all flowing out again-your father wiped it for you in vain! ”
