The 19th dock homeless marshal gathered for three days in Tian's Dock Fort. Although these homeless handsomes are bluffing mountain knives. But it is by no means a vulgar person, they have been educated by Confucianism since childhood, several of them are quite involved in Lao Zhuang metaphysics, Wei and Jin, is an era of advocating learning and advocating thinking, few people dare to despise the scribes who read poetry and books, even the military generals also pay attention to the hand, the generals of Yuzhou are resentful because Xie Wan compared them to pawns for this reason, Chen Caozhi is in charge of the military Sizhou Sima, learned Confucianism, and is proficient in the art of war, geography, and state affairs, which makes the people of Zhuliu greatly admired, and Chen Caozhi's analysis of the situation of the Three Kingdoms is also deep and fine, Although the Xianbei Yan Kingdom is strong at the moment, but the royal strife, once Murong Ke dies, it will lead to civil strife, wouldn't it be a good opportunity for the Northern Expedition at that time? As for the Qin, because of the Sifu Rebellion, the national strength was consumed, and the Yan army fought for several months, and in the short term, they did not dare to devote the whole country to attack Yan, and the people of Jingxiang in Huan Huo will also contain the Qin army in the Hanzhong area, and the Beifu army will definitely be able to make a brilliant achievement in the annals of history next year

On April 28, Chen Caozhi left Xiapi and went to Runan, and the Cai family of Xincai and the Wei family of Wuyang needed to be visited, and the nineteen liumin marshals of the alliance in Tian's Wubao had made an appointment with Chen Caozhi, first returning to Wubao to recruit homeless people into the army, and at the end of June, each led his headquarters to Guangling on the north bank of the Yangtze River to receive grain, grass and ordnance

Dai Xun, Guo Xuan and Chen Caozhi went west on the same road, Liu Jian did not accompany him again, only let his son Liu Jiaozhi follow Chen Caozhi, on April 30, a group of people rested for a day in Guo's Wubao in Xiang County, Pei County, early the next morning, Chen Caozhi and Su Kai, Liu Gaozhi continued to rush westward, Dai Xun said goodbye to Chen Cao and then returned to Xiao County, Xiang County is 800 miles away from Xincai, Cai's Wubao of Xincai is in the southeast of Pingyu, only 100 miles away from Sujiabao, Chen Caoyi and his line are ready to go to Sujiabao first, rectify a little, and then go to Xincaiyi

When he returned home, Su Zhu was very happy, and said to Chen Caozhi: "Chen Yuanjun, my Sujiabao began to recruit Henan refugees a few years ago, all of them are strong men under the age of 35, and they are all able to dance with guns and sticks, and now they have gathered 6 or 700 people, plus 800 private soldiers in my Sujiabao, you can get 1,500 sergeants. ”

Chen Caozhi said: "More than half of the 800 private soldiers in Sujiabao are half-ploughing and half-soldiers, before the Northern Expedition, the Yan State has not been destroyed, Wubao still needs private soldiers to defend and strong labor to cultivate, the soldiers are not expensive, the Soviet army Cao selected 400 people from the private soldiers of Guibao, plus 600 homeless people to form a team of 1,000 people

Su Zhulian claimed that he believed in Chen Caozhi's ability, and Xiang Xi was nominally the commander of the Sizhou Assassin and the Beifu Army, but with Huan Xi's bearing and ability, he was obviously incompetent, and Chen Caozhi would be the de facto ruler of the Beifu Army. This can be seen from Tian Luo, Dai Xun and others' respect for Chen Caozhi, Xuzhou and Zhun Shang Nineteen Dock can gather about 30,000 strong soldiers, these 30,000 strong soldiers are definitely the main force of the Beifu Army, because of the good relationship between its suzerain and Chen Caozhi and Chen Caozhi's personal ability, Chen Caozhi can profoundly affect this army, and it is completely possible for Chen Caozhi to be promoted to the assassination history of Xiongzhen, he Su Dao is Chen Caozhi's henchman, and it is also possible to look forward to becoming the chief of a county with his military merits, Shiping Su is a Shu clan, In the two Huai forces are also mediocre, if there is no superior person to carry it is difficult to make a difference in the official career, so Chen Caozhi is Su Xiang is a person who wants to follow and climb, in early February, he left Sujiabao and went to Jingkou, and said to his father Su Daozhi that he wanted to marry his sister Su Hui to Chen Caozhi as a concubine, because Chen Caozhi's marriage with Lu and Xie has been completed, and it is also the most normal to take concubines. is also infatuated with the beauty of his wife Cao and does not want to marry another, Xun Fengqian famously said: "A woman's virtue is not enough, she should be based on color." "Su Hui is beautiful and talented, Su Kai doesn't believe that Chen Caozhi has any reason to refuse, of course, this requires the consent of his mother and sister-in-law Su Ci, and his father Su Daozhi must have convinced his mother and sister-in-law at this time, right?

This year's Dragon Boat Festival was spent in the journey, on May 12, Chen Cao and his entourage of more than 40 people arrived in Pingyu County, the day before, Su Gui sent a private soldier with his letter to rush back to Sujiabao, explaining that Chen Caozhi was about to arrive, and asked his father Su Daozhi had persuaded his mother and sister-in-law?

Su Ci, the beloved daughter of Su Daozhen, the lord of Sujiabao, is fifteen years old this year, has reached the age of marriage, Su Hui is famous for his appearance in Lianghuai, palindromic poetry and weaving cotton is a double unique, west to Xiangyang, Jingzhou, east from Hefei Huaibei, all the children of the dock are the name of the Su family, the suitors are endless, Su Daozhi are all refused, in early May, the Cai clan of Xincai County, Cai Feng, sent people to say the matchmaker for his son, Cai is the largest Wubao sect master in Runan, the strength is far above Sujiabao, and the Cai family was originally Chen Liushi, and its ancestor is the famous Cai Yi, To Cai Feng's grandfather Cai Bao's generation, because of the war in the Central Plains, the family moved five hundred miles south from Chen Liu to the new Cai Fort and lived, at that time it was one of the few large sects in Huaishang, the Jin court appointed Cai Bao as Xuzhou Thorn History, Jianwei General, but in the battle with the later Zhao Shile general Xu Xi Cai Bao missed the defeat of the fighter plane, and went to Jiankang to be beheaded, the corpse was in the city for three days, Cai's family collapsed, and no one in the family came out. Cai's clan resented the Jin Dynasty, and Zhao and Xianbei were ordered by the Jin court to hang the thousands of queens, and the chief officials of Runan County were also respectful and distant, and did not get along, and now Cai Feng proposed to the Su family for his son, which can be regarded as condescending, and the Cai marriage is now high or low, and the daughter of Su Daozhi is beautiful and talented, and virtuous, so he invited someone to propose marriage

Su Daozhi has never talked to his old wife about wanting to give Ruolan to Chen Caozhi as a concubine, and the old wife regards Ruolan as a treasure, but she is afraid that she will not let her beloved daughter be wronged as a concubine. Su Daozhi wanted to find a good time to discuss this matter with his wife, but he didn't expect the big clan Cai clan to come to the door to propose, and when the department heard that it was Chen Liucai's family, he was very moved, and saw that his husband was frowning, and he didn't seem to be very satisfied, so he said: "The Cai family is a big family, and the ancestors used to be Shangshu and Taishou, although they have declined in recent years, but compared with my Su family, the family is only high and not low, and it is not bad if Ruolan can marry into such a family, what concerns does the husband have?" ”

Su Dao hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "A'e, I have something to discuss with you, you have seen that Chen Yuanjun last year, what does A'e think is this person's character?" ”

The Ministry said: "Of course, Chen Yuanjun is the dragon and phoenix among people, the first beautiful man in Jiangzuo, didn't Qi'er say that the girls of the Lu family and the Xie family are going to marry him, the queen mother has given marriage, and the husband said what Chen Yuanjun does, what does he have to do with my Ruolan'er?" ”

Su Daozhi had no choice but to say bluntly: "Zhu'er strongly agrees with letting Ruolan be the concubine of Chen Yuanjun, Chen Yuanjun"

Before he finished speaking, the Bu clan shouted angrily: "No, never, let Ruolan be a concubine, no one can do it."

Su Dao persuaded him: "My Su clan is a Shu clan, although Chen Yuanjun is only a second-class scholar clan now, but in a long time, he will become a first-class gatekeeper, and my Su clan can marry him, and he will never insult the court."

The Ministry shook his head again and again and said: "No, no, husband, you don't know the hardships of being a concubine, that is to swallow your anger, look at people's eyes, and have a hard time, even if you give birth to a child who is a good wife, I Ruo Lan'er is talented and arrogant, and since I was a child, I have been pampered like a girl from a big family, how can I stand that kind of grievance!" ”

Su Dao couldn't argue with the old wife, and said: "It also depends on who the family is, it is not necessarily pleasant to be a wife, and it is not necessarily sad to be a concubine, and there are also those who specialize in concubines." ”

Su Daozhi also had two concubines, and the Bu clan was even more annoyed when he heard it, and asked, "Why do you want to spoil those two little maids?"

Su Daozhi hurriedly said: "What did you say, I am talking about it, now I am discussing my daughter's marriage."

The Ministry of Evil said: "You are willing to let Ruolan be a concubine, then you and Ruolan will go, anyway, I will do it." As a mother, she is shameless to mention such a thing in front of her daughter

Su Daozhi shook his head and said: "The woman's eyes are like beans, wait for me to talk to Ruolan." ”

The Ministry of Clan said angrily: "You go and say, go now." Su Dao asked: "If Lan'er is willing, then what do you say?" ”

The Bu clan expected that his daughter would never refuse, and said: "Ruolan is willing to be a concubine for others, that is her life, but parents must not force her."

Su Dao asked: "How can I force her, she must be willing." With that, he went out to the inner court.

The Ministry of Men sulked alone for a while, and after thinking about it, he still had to follow and monitor, and Mo let Fujun use the righteousness of revitalizing the family to oppress his daughter Yi

Su Daozhi came to the courtyard where his daughter Su Ya lived, and smelled a mixed fragrance of Lan Hui and mugwort leaves, Well, today is the fourth day of the fifth month, and tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, which is a herb that is ready to ward off evil spirits

Su Daozhi walked into the courtyard, there was no one in the front yard, only heard the laughter in the backyard, it was the afternoon Shen time, presumably Ruolan and the maids were weaving brocade embroidery sachets under the wisteria shed in the backyard, Su Daozhi bypassed the civil engineering building, and stood under a peach tree, he saw a guan mat spread under the wisteria trellis in the backyard, and a few baskets were placed to make female red, and her daughter Su Hui wore an apricot yellow shirt, tied a Danbi gauze skirt, kneeling on the guan seat, weaving brocade, and the three little maids on the side were whispering and laughing, while embroidering the sachet

Su you thread the needle, the gesture is beautiful, not like a brocade, as if waving the five strings in the hand, sometimes stop, carefully look at a piece of brocade stretched up with a bamboo frame in front of you, and after a while, the needle is like flying. The expression is focused and cute

Su Daozhi looked at his quiet and beautiful beloved daughter. I think the old wife said it well, how can such a daughter bear to be another person's concubine, how strong the Lu and Xie clans are, and the daughter is inferior to the Chen family as a concubine everywhere, so how can he bear to be a parent for a lifetime, just let the Cai family propose marriage.

Su Daozhi had made up his mind and turned around and was discharged from the hospital. But I didn't hear the conversation between my daughter and the little maid Qinghu

Qinghu said: The little lady weaves this palindrome poem, and no one can understand it, so why bother."

Su Hui blurted out: "There is one person who can solve one" It was too late to shut up, and hurriedly said nonsense: "Palindrome poems are just for self-entertainment, why do you need others to solve them, how are the three of you weaving the sachets, let me see."

Qinghu and the other two little maids were all ignorant, and they didn't understand Su Hui's intentions, so they all chattered and commented on their respective sachets.
