Chapter 20: Joys and Sorrows
"Send it to the cave room. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
The day Chen Wen got married, it was also the day of Shi Daniu's great joy. is not stricter than the etiquette of the Hou Mansion, and the small family, even if it has been confirmed not long ago to be promoted to captain in Nantang Camp, the Shi family is still more in line with the folk customs in terms of the rules of marriage. Whether it's a sedan chair or a basic process, it's the same.
This time Shi Da Niu became a family, not only the relatives of the two families and the villagers in the village, but most of Shi Da Niu's comrades also came, only An Youfu was unable to come because he was on the front line in Yushan County and Luo Yongzhong was ordered to step up the training of the special task force, but the gifts were all delivered, and the Shi family also had a lot of face when they sang.
Behind the crowd of people walking towards the new house, Liu Cheng sat alone where he had just eaten the wedding wine, without the slightest movement.
This time, in addition to congratulating me, it is more about contacting the feelings between colleagues. Shi Daniu's fool was still so enthusiastic about him, and the shouting of Team Liu's head made him even miss the days when he was on Dalan Mountain, but the others were just a matter of face.
Liu Cheng did not have the slightest resentment about this, which should have been the case. The impact of Cao Conglong's rebellion on the entire Zhejiang Ming army was too huge, and the foreign civil and military, especially the officials sent by the imperial court, would basically be recognized as the next Cao Conglong. Someone like him who had a rebellious behavior in that infighting, not to mention being thrown into the cold palace in his position, even others seemed to have a scrutiny of possible traitors.
These resentful grievances, rights, ambitions, and desires prompted him to make such a choice in that turmoil.
Liu Cheng has never regretted that incident, and the rights were fought for. Fighting and uniting with other colleagues, fighting and making peace with foreign enemies, and even holding the emperor or the clan with the right to inherit the throne in order to sell those storms, thunders and lightning in exchange for greater power, aren't all the heroes in troubled times rise up like this? Like Chen Wen, he walked step by step, with great potential strength but never fought for any power, so why did he work so hard?
Even if he has followed him for many years and was once Chen Wen's favorite general, Liu Cheng can't understand what Chen Wen did. However, this is not an important thing, now that the Zhejiang Ming Army is thriving, he believes that the last Jinhua City Defense Battle can always wash away the stain of the past, and sooner or later he can still return to the power center of the Zhejiang Ming Army, climb up step by step, and regain the attention he once had.
"The reception of meritorious personnel and a new round of promotion are almost over, it is useless to count on Yin Yue's slippery head, I hope that Wu Zongbing can return to Jinhua as soon as possible, someone will speak for me at Hou Ye, and Hou Ye can remember my credit."
After drinking the last glass of wine, Liu Cheng got up to say goodbye to the Shi family's father. It's getting late now, so it's good to stay overnight in a town not far away, and then go back tomorrow for the holidays.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
After tossing for most of the night, he fell asleep very late, but when it was time to order troops in the early morning in the army, the biological clock still prompted Chen Wen to wake up from his sleep.
In the crook of the arm, the jade-like beauty is still sleeping in her arms. He did his best, but he had never had intimate contact with any woman until now, and this puritanical life, which lasted for three years, finally broke out last night.
On the wedding night, Chen Wen didn't dare to make too much of a conquest, but the beauty in his arms still made him intoxicated. After a few times, the new little woman no longer had the strength to endure so passively. Chen Wen didn't want to move anymore, so he held him in his arms and chatted endlessly, until his newlywed wife fell asleep.
When he woke up, if he was in the army or on weekdays, he should have gotten up, but this time Chen Wen gave himself a few days of marriage leave like a soldier in the army, and it was not a big deal to sleep properly. It's just that if I keep moving all night, my body is a little sore. The person next to the pillow was still asleep, and Chen Wen didn't dare to make much movement, but just twisted his body appropriately.
Who knows, this is this, the vibration of the bed woke up the woman next to the pillow. The eyelashes fluttered, and those watery eyes once again attracted Chen Wen's attention.
"Husband, but it's an auspicious time?"
Auspicious time?
Chen Wen thought about it, it seemed that he had become a parent, and there was also the temple meeting and the wedding ceremony of seeing his uncle, but he was not in a hurry to return to the door, and his uncle had already integrated into the temple, but the temple saw it today.
Without a clock, it's really awkward to get home, but fortunately I've been here for many years, and I'm used to such things.
"It's still early, only the temple is seeing you today, and there are still some hours. You were tired yesterday too, so let's rest for a while. ā
At the mention of tired words, a burst of blush appeared on Zhou Yueying's face, thinking that she recalled the events of last night, and Chen Wen reacted again. The beautiful and unparalleled appearance, the feeling of déjà vu, or something else, Chen Wen didn't know what he liked about this woman, but there was always something unknown about this woman that made him unforgettable, so that he was now willing to accept her as a lifelong partner.
"Ahem."
With a soft dry cough, Chen Wen shrank his body. Although the woman in her arms accepted some ideological emancipation at the end of the Ming Dynasty and produced some sense of equality, in the final analysis, she was still a traditional woman, and she did not dare to disobey her husband's requirements in the slightest. When she woke up, she had just eased up a little bit of strength, but she always wanted to pity Xiangxiang and cherish jade, and some things were naturally not too good.
"After drinking the wine, I am in such a hurry to see you at the temple, my husband is not a bandit who robs the house."
"The husband will talk nonsense, three books and six rites, and the concubine will be a member of the Chen family all her life. What kind of robbery, the husband is already the marquis of the Ming Dynasty, and he is a nobleman, but it seems that he said that he was a bandit and a concubine was a lady of the village, which is really not serious. ā
The natural reaction of Chen Wen's body, the limbs under the quilt are entangled, and Zhou Yueying can not know. Mother said that she couldn't go against her husband's wishes, and her body was exhausted, but she was still mentally prepared to meet her heart and mind, who knew that Chen Wen began to draw his attention to other places, and his body shrank back. In this way, how could she not know who she was for? In just this moment, a sweet touch of happiness lingered in my heart.
"In the future, the concubine will definitely serve her husband wholeheartedly." Saying that, Zhou Yueying even got into Chen Wen's arms, hugging this happiness tightly, lest she would leave her in the next second.
hugged each other, and the two didn't say anything again, but each other's hearts had already reached each other's minds. It's just like this, I don't know how long it has been, and the voice of Zhou Yueying's wedding girl came from outside the door.
It's not far from the auspicious time, and you need to get up and prepare. The auspicious time has been set, that is, Chen Wen doesn't care, but also takes into account the thoughts of the person next to him. Hurriedly got up, Chen Wen was about to start dressing, but as soon as he picked up his clothes, he saw Zhou Yueying, who was hurriedly putting on his clothes, intercepted him and began to wait for him to get dressed.
Being served and dressed, Chen Wen remembers that it was probably when he was sick when he was a child, or when he was still in bed when he went to school. When he became an adult, how could he have been like this, even if he was already a marquis, he had never let others serve him and wear clothes. It's just that the woman in front of him helped him tie the strap one by one, and there was a fragrant fragrance between his mouth and nose, and for a while he extinguished the idea of stopping it.
After helping Chen Wen get dressed, Zhou Yueying hurriedly took care of her clothes, and only after she got dressed did she call in the dowry girl who was waiting outside.
This girl Chen Wen has seen, it is the personal maid that Zhou Yueying has been carrying, every time they met before, Chen Wen unconsciously turned his attention to the lover around him. When I saw it today, although the appearance of this married girl was still slightly inferior to Zhou Yueying, who could make him see a woman in the media of later generations, but she was better than her slender waist and long legs, and the capital on her chest was also extremely rich. Now that he entered the door, there was also an inexplicable shyness in Chen Wen's eyes.
There are few exceptions to the fate of the dowry maids of large families, but Chen Wen didn't think so much about it here, but the maid who accompanied the marriage served the former lady, and the current lady bathed and changed clothes.
Seeing in the temple is a kind of religious etiquette, becoming a parent, visiting the tablet of the elders in the family, or entering the family temple, can be regarded as really entering the gate of this family. In terms of etiquette, Chen Wen has practiced, and Zhou Yueying has nothing to understand, and the incense and the visit are quite smooth, even the family of the celebrant also talked about the trajectory of burning when the incense is on the Chen family, and the ancestors of the Chen family are quite satisfied with the new daughter-in-law, obviously to please the new lady.
Only he crossed through, Chen Wen has always claimed that his parents are dead, and he sees that his aunt has been integrated into the temple. Back in the lobby of the inner courtyard, the people of the family came to pay their respects.
Among the subordinates, the male subordinates such as Menzi, Inner Court Guards, and Miscellaneous Servants were all trustworthy servants hired by Chen Wen's side, and those few family members were still sharp soldiers in Chen Wen's guards. Chen Wen's guards were originally young soldiers led by Zhang Jun, and later after Chen Wen sent these soldiers into the martial arts academy, they were re-organized. An infantry team is used to guard the Hou Mansion, and a horse team is led by Chen Fugui's humanoid roller to follow Chen Wen in the battle, and these inner courtyard guards are the best in the infantry team.
As for those female subordinates, they were all brought by Zhou Yueying from the Zhou family, cooks, maids, mothers-in-law, and the highest-ranking marrying girls, which can be said to be readily available.
However, at this moment, when the subordinates of Yiying met Chen Wen and Zhou Yueying, they used the title of lord and lady. Habitually speaking, they are already all descendants of the Chen family, and they are no different.
In these years, there was no travel to get married, and there was no honeymoon, so Chen Wen didn't know what to do when he became a relative. Fortunately, Zhou Yueying is not an ignorant woman, and it is also a pleasure to sit in the garden pavilion, drinking tea, eating snacks, talking about some private conversations, and chatting about some topics of mutual interest.
It wasn't until the sun was setting in the west that the gate guarding the inner courtyard came in a hurry and delivered two fire-painted documents, which were obviously urgent military affairs.
The marriage leave has just begun, and it is the time to rest, but Zhou Yueying is not the so-called foolish woman, her own man is already a big man who decides the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people, or even millions of people, how can he miss his official business because of his children's private affairs. Seeing that Menzi had sent the military information, she turned around and left the small pavilion with her maid, saying that she was going to see how dinner was prepared.
The military information was compiled by the staff officers of the Intelligence Department, but Chen Wen was still on marriage leave, and they didn't dare to upset the new lady, so they had to go through the hands of Menzi, so they were all painted for secrecy.
went to the fire paint, Chen Wen read the information carefully. The first was a military message that several intelligence officers had managed to deliver, some of which had been delivered at the wedding yesterday, and some of which had arrived new today, and which were not very urgent, so they were delivered today. The content of it is nothing more than that the Qing army in the surrounding areas began to recruit soldiers on a large scale. However, now in the limelight in Zhejiang, most of them see that the tail of the army rabbit can't grow, so the recruitment is not smooth, and more people are still pulling in various places and catching strong men.
Of course, along with this, there is also a report that Hong Chengchou is building fortresses in Fuyang, Qingtian and other places. The progress is not very fast, it seems to be related to the problems of money and food, and the specific situation is not clear.
Rioters, yard bunkers, Chen Wen had to sigh at Hong Chengchou's learning ability, this dog traitor has always been regarded by Chen Wen as the biggest enemy. Now it seems that it is indeed a difficult opponent to get home. However, after looking at the location of those fortresses, Chen Wen is also very concerned, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and the fortresses are not invincible, if there are no firm defenders in the fortified city, it is just a bunch of chic dirt, there is always a way to take it down.
However, after reading the first one, and then seeing the second one, Chen Wen's face changed suddenly, and the anger in his heart rushed out.
"Hong Chengchou, I'll fuck your uncle." (To be continued.) )
