Chapter 383: Winter Solstice (9)

Chen Fei just hugged Xiao Xue and slept all night, and didn't do anything to her. And Xiao Xue couldn't sleep all day, obviously not used to having a man hold her to sleep, so she couldn't sleep a little. Xiao Xue didn't know whether she should be happy or speechless, because Chen Fei didn't ask for her, but on the other hand, she also had doubts about her charm, because Chen Fei was able to endure this attraction, which was really unusual. If it weren't for the fact that Wu Yun and Cui Xiuxiu had already known that kind of thing with Chen Fei, then Xiao Xue would have wondered if Chen Fei was a man.

When he woke up the next day, Chen Fei knew that he had to prepare today, and it was his subordinate's turn to pay New Year's greetings to him today. After all, Chen Fei is also a five-grade official, and many subordinates should come to pay New Year's greetings to themselves, so that they can take the opportunity to curry favor with their bosses, and this is also an opportunity to get closer.

"Chen joins the army!" There was a knock on the door of the princess's mansion.

When Chen Fei saw it, he was immediately surprised: "Brother Zhu, Brother Lu, and Brother Gao, you are all here!" ”

Chen Fei didn't expect that the first thing to see him was not a civil official, but a few of his friends. These three guys are Zhu Chunlin, Lu Chen, and Gao Kan, they are all captains in the army, and they manage about 300 people, and they belong to middle-level officers in the Tang Dynasty. And I knew Chen Fei before, so it's not surprising that I came to pay New Year's greetings this time.

"Chen joins the army, we meet again!" Zhu Chunlin said.

Echen Fei saw them, then sighed and said, "It's a pity that the eldest brother is not here!" ”

Chen Fei sighed that his eldest brother Chang He was not there, and Chang He had now gone to the Outsider State to assassinate Shi, so he was naturally gone. Originally, when Chen Fei went out, Chang He stayed in Chang'an. But now that Chen Fei has returned to Chang'an, Chang He has gone out. I have to say that it is a helpless situation, but as an official in the officialdom, the transfer of official positions is also a common thing, so there are many things that are transferred back and forth between the central and local governments. Chen Fei already knew this. As an official, where is there an official office where you can live for a long time and for the rest of your life? If you live in an official office for the rest of your life, then you have not been promoted for the rest of your life, what does it mean?

"Chen joins the army, a little gift, not a tribute!" Zhu Chunlin said.

Chen Fei immediately said: "Come on, come here, what kind of gifts do you bring!" You don't know, now I'm richer than you! ”

"Nonsense, you live in the princess's mansion, and you don't have to pay for everything. Of course you have money. And you still have a knighthood, and your annual income is immeasurable, so you don't have a backache when you stand and talk. Look at it, you haven't married a princess yet, but you actually live together, so many people around you serve, and you directly enjoy the same life, so we are very envious! Lu Chen complained.

But Chen Fei pointed at Gao Kan and said, "Didn't you also marry a princess?" And. You're still my junior! ”

"Phew, you mentioned this stalk again, do you believe that I ignored you?" Gao Kan said half angrily.

Gao Kan faced Chen Fei, and he was indeed a little shorter. After all, although he is also married to a princess. But it is only Li Shimin's daughter, and Chen Fei is married to Li Yuan's daughter, who can be regarded as his elder. Strictly speaking, Gao Kan still has to call him uncle. How can this Gao Kan stand it? Call someone younger than yourself an uncle, it's better to hang yourself. Gao Kan would never be able to say this kind of thing.

"Senior brother. Did you get married? Chen Fei asked.

Gao Kan shook his head and said: "I'm ready, I didn't expect that I was twenty-five or sixteen years old, and finally married a wife, and I was a princess, which is really glorifying my ancestors." However, this is all an idea that Chen Shenjun helped to come up with, otherwise I really wouldn't have a way to marry a princess! ”

And Chen Fei said with envy: "You will get married soon, but I don't know when you will be able to get married, and now you are busy working so hard!" If nothing else, it will be at least four years before Zhenguan can get married! ”

"Come on, you two are simply full men who don't know how hungry men are hungry. You're all going to get married, and you still have to marry a princess, the two of us are really unlucky, let alone marrying a princess, there is no ordinary woman. I don't even know when I'll be able to pass on the lineage to my old Lu family! Lu Chen said.

Chen Fei immediately asked: "You are also a seventh-rank military attaché, and your status is not low, why didn't anyone come to propose marriage?" And doesn't the imperial court now have official media? If you need it, you can let the official media help you marry a wife! ”

"You said it lightly, although the official media can help make peace, but it can't be forced! Although Lao Lu and I are seventh-rank captains, it doesn't look low, but in fact, not many people can look down on us. If we are a seven-rank civil official, there must be many people who are willing. But we are military attachés, so not many people want to. We are in command of 300 people, and many times we still have to charge on the front line, who knows if we will die? What's more, if you are a soldier in the army and can't go home to accompany your wife for a long time, that person doesn't want to! We, military attachés, are too difficult to marry a wife compared to you civil officials. Unless we can become the captain of Guoyi, it will be difficult for us to marry a wife. Zhu Chunlin said.

Chen Fei probably understood what Zhu Chunlin meant, this is actually the difficulty of low-level officers. Because ordinary low-level officers are often not only unable to command from behind, but have to charge at the front line and set an example for soldiers, the probability of death is actually higher than that of ordinary soldiers. Even, those ordinary soldiers can go home after a few years of service, but those low-level officers serve for life, but they are threatened all the time. If you are a family member of an ordinary soldier, you will only worry about it for a few years, but as a family member of a low-level officer, you will have to worry about it for a lifetime. Therefore, in this case, those women are reluctant to marry low-level officers, which is also a normal situation.

And the officer has been in the army for a long time, isn't he alone in the empty house after marrying? This is also a reason why those women resist. Therefore, it is more difficult for low-level officers to find wives than low-level civilian officials. If it is an ordinary civil official, it is relatively easy to find a wife, but it is difficult for a low-level military attaché.

And that Gao Kan laughed, obviously he didn't have this sorrow, after all, he married a wife and was still a princess, and he was a full man who didn't know how hungry a man was hungry. Seeing that his two friends are like this, Gao Kan will not stupidly take the initiative to stimulate them. Anyway, it's okay to have a princess wife, don't worry about anything.
