It is another year of winter to spring, in the middle of the first month, Su Qi returned, Liu Gaozhi took leave, at the beginning of February, the Eastern Jin Dynasty court also had an edict to arrive, Xuanji Prefecture Assassin Chen Caozhi returned to Beijing to report on his work, as the assassin history of the town guard, if there is no imperial court call, it is not possible to return to Beijing without authorization, Chen Caozhi at the end of last year had a table to the imperial court said that he wanted to return to Beijing to meet the emperor -

On February 16, Xie Daoyun successfully gave birth to a daughter, named Chen Feiyu, Xiao Feiyu was born with clear eyes, black and white eyes dripping to look at people, the eyebrows resembled Xie Daoyun, Chen Caozhi said happily: "My family has added another talented woman." ”

It is a big deal for Mrs. Thorn Shi to give birth to a daughter, when Xiao Fei was washed in the Three Dynasties, He Keyingmen, and the officials of Yecheng now know the true identity of the green-shirted scribe, it turned out to be a famous Yongxu talented girl!

The wingguard general Shen Chiqian specially came from Gongxian to congratulate Chen Caozhi on his beautiful daughter, and learned that Chen Caozhi would leave for Jiankang in April, Shen Chiqian said happily: "Master Chen, the disciple will marry the daughter of Gao Taishou of Yingchuan on April 12, I dare not work for Master Chen, but Master Chen wants to return to Jiankang, so I invite the detour to Luoyang to attend the disciple's wedding, and the disciple will be honored." ”

Chen Caozhi said with a smile: "Very good, I will come with Chen Zisheng at that time." ”

……

Beginning in March, Chen Caozhi ordered people to prepare for the trip to Jiankang, Chen Caozhi wanted to transport 5 million money, 8,000 horses of silk, and 60,000 wheat.

One night in late March, Chen Caozhi teased Xiao Feiyu on Xie Daoyun's side, Xiao Feiyu has only been more than forty days, he laughs when he teases, his eyes are squinted like Xie Daoyun, although Chen Feiyu is Chen Caozhi's third child, but Chen Bozhen and Chen Fangyu's little brother and sister Chen Caozhi have not met until now, so they are extremely fond of Xiao Feiyu, and they come to visit whenever they have time, and they inevitably snubbed Murong Qinchen-

The rouge warrior Sanur appeared in front of the door and called, "General Chen—"

Chen Caozhi handed Xiao Feiyu to Xie Daoyun, stood up, Xie Daoyun said with a smile: "Chen Lang, go and accompany Qin Qin, she seems to be in a bad mood for the past two days, presumably because we are about to return south." ”

Chen Caozhi walked out of Xie Daoyun's room, and Sanur said: "General Chen, Qinqin Lady is crying, General hurry up and take a look." Sanur has always called Murong Qinchen a princess, but now she has finally changed her tune.

Chen Caozhi followed Sanur to the small courtyard where Murong Qinchen lived, the palace on this side of Bingjingtai was vast, with more than ten courtyards and more than 100 rooms-

Murong Qinchen was lying on his side on the short couch in the study, there were Mao poems being copied on the bookcase, Chen Caozhi walked over and sat on the edge of the couch, Murong Qinchen did not turn around, his back was facing Chen Caozhi, curled up, with a thin waist and round hips, and exquisite curves-

Chen Caozhi said: "Qinqin, you also prepare your bags, and go to Jiangdong with me the day after tomorrow, and you can also visit your mother and brother." ”

Murong Qinchen still didn't turn around, but her body twitched slightly, obviously crying secretly, Chen Caozhi stroked her thin waist, and called "Qinqin" several times before she suddenly turned around, fell on Chen Caozhi's chest and cried: "I'm sick, so uncomfortable that I want to die, but you don't care——"

Chen Caozhi patted her on the back and asked, "What's wrong with you, where is your body unwell?" ”

Murong Qinchen said with a crying voice: "I vomited together in the morning of the past two days, and I also vomited during meals, I feel like I'm about to die." ”

Chen Caozhi's eyes widened, he pulled Murong Qinchen's right hand, and said, "Don't cry, calm down, and wait for me to diagnose your pulse." ”

Murong Qinchen collected her tears and asked Chen Caozhi to diagnose her pulse, only to see the smile on Chen Caozhi's face getting deeper and deeper, and couldn't help but say coquettishly: "I'm sick, you still laugh!" ”

Chen Caozhi picked up her face and kissed her on the lips, and said with a smile: "It's not a disease, it's that you're going to give birth to a child for me." ”

"Ahh Murong Qinchen's beautiful blue eyes widened suddenly, and he said, "I don't think Sister Dao Yun will vomit like this when she is pregnant with Xiaofeiyu." ”

Chen Caozhi said with a smile: "Not every pregnant woman will vomit, Dao Yun felt tired and sleepy at that time. ”

Murong Qinchen stopped talking, his hands folded and covered his lower abdomen, his face seemed to be smiling, a little crazy, but he heard Chen Caozhi say: "Qinqin is pregnant, then this Jiangdong is unbearable." Murong Qinchen hurriedly said, "I'm going, I'm going to Jiangdong." ”

Chen Caozhi said: "I persuaded you several times and you refused to go with me, why did you suddenly want to go, you are pregnant, it is not good to travel for a long distance like this, it is better to stay in Yecheng, I will arrange someone to take care of you." ”

"No, I want to go back to Jiangdong with you, and I want to visit my mother and brother." Murong Qinchen said stubbornly, but asked again: "Husband, is it really bad for me to travel long distances like this, it will be detrimental to me-" Speaking of this, he was shy and laughing.

Chen Caozhi went to Jiangdong this time, it took four months to go back and forth, and he had to go back to Qiantang Province, and he was not able to leave immediately after meeting the emperor in Jiankang, but I was afraid that if he didn't return to Yecheng, Murong Qinchen would have given birth, and Qinqin didn't have his close relatives by his side, which really made him feel at ease, so he said: "It's not very important, okay, you go with me, but the horse can't be ridden." ”

Murong Qinchen was very happy, and when he slept with Chen Caozhi that night, he asked Chen Caozhi to name the child in her womb, Chen Caozhi smiled and said: "You are in a hurry, Bo Zhen has no official name and character, wait back to Jiangdong to take it together." ”

……

Because Shen Chiqian's wedding will be held in Luoyang on April 12, Chen Caozhi's convoy returning south will set off on March 25, but Ran Sheng in western Liaoning has not yet arrived on this day, Chen Caozhi told Su Qi that when Ran Sheng came to Yecheng, he told Ran Sheng to rush to Luoyang on April 12 to meet.

Ji Governor Shi Cui led a group of officials to send Chen Cao to pass through Zhangshui, Chen Caozhi solemnly entrusted Cui Xiao with government affairs, and told Su Qi to always pay attention to the movements of Western Qin, so he waved goodbye.

This time, Chen Caozhi went south to Jiankang with fifteen scribes, eight hundred sergeants, and 1,500 people who transported money and grain.

Chen Caozhi and Xie Daoyun's mother and daughter, Murong Qinchen and others, as well as a group of subordinates, went to Wen County under the escort of three hundred cavalry, and crossed the river from there to Gong County, Ran Sheng led two hundred light horsemen to catch up with Chen Cao and his party in Wen County, visited his brother and sister-in-law, and saw Chen Feiyu, who was less than two months old, Ran Sheng was very happy.

Shen Chiqian sent people to meet Chen Cao in Gongxian County, and everyone hurried to Luoyang, just before the afternoon of April 12, Sizhou Assassin Shi Huan Mi, Zhou Sima Shen Jin went out of the city to greet him, Huan Secretary met Chen Caozhi when he was the leader of the army, and he respected Chen Caozhi's talent, and he was happy to see him again.

Huan Mi went to Luoyang in July last year, and was ordered to rebuild the palace and the Yamen of the hundred officials, now more than half a year has passed, Luoyang City has changed greatly, the tall city wall of twenty miles around has been built first, and the city is also building a lot of construction, Huan Wen got Murong Ping's huge family wealth and the property of the Great Yan Treasury in Yecheng last year are mostly used for this, the Jin court has no money to allocated, Huan Wen is not stingy, because this Luoyang City will be the capital of his Huan Dynasty-

Huan Mi personally led Chen Caozhi to visit Luoyang City, and Chen Caozhi expressed his admiration for Huan Mi's achievements in rebuilding the old capital.

After Chen Caozhi and Ran Sheng participated in Shen Chiqian's wedding, they rested for a day in Luoyang, and set off for Yingchuan on April 14, and took the waterway from Yingchuan, so that they could avoid land bumps, on the seventh day of the fifth month, Chen Cao traveled 20 big boats from Yingshui into the Huai River, through Shouchun to Po Ketang, zigzag from the waterway into the Yangtze River, and went retrograde to Jiankang Bailuzhou Wharf, this day was May 22, the road was smooth and smooth, very smooth.

Chen Caozhi set foot on the land of the south of the Yangtze River, and sighed with emotion, since the first month of the third year of Xian'an, he left the Jiankang Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, and returned today, it has been two years and four months, the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River is no different, so friends and relatives are all well?
