Pei Renji's journey to the north did not go well, as he feared, the departure of the Jia father and son from the army caused a chain effect, especially when his intention to go north to Taiyuan became clear, and his army began to appear in large numbers of deserters, mainly the soldiers of Qi County who were reluctant to leave their hometown to go to Taiyuan.

Jia Wuben's father and son collected more than 4,000 deserters before and after, crossed the Yellow River to the south, and returned to Qingzhou.

In the barracks outside the city, Jia Wuben and Jia Runfu father and son, as well as more than 20 middle- and low-level generals who followed them, were warmly welcomed by Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan raised the wine bowl to everyone: "We were all members of the Flying Eagle Army, we are all generals of the general, the general died unjustly, and the Flying Eagle Army was disbanded, but this land for which we fought and shed blood is still there, we have inherited the will of the general, and will defend the seven counties of Qingzhou from violation, you are all Qingzhou generals, this is your hometown, is your homeland, you have the responsibility to protect your hometown and the safety of your fathers and fellow villagers, I welcome everyone's return on behalf of the Qingzhou Army, we drank this bowl of wine, everyone is brothers." ”

Everyone was enthusiastic, and they raised their bowls together and shouted: "I am willing to serve the handsome!" ”

Everyone drank the wine bowl in their hands, Zhang Xuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "This is a reception banquet for everyone, everyone let go of their stomachs and drink!" Today we are not drunk. ”

At this time, Jia Wuben sighed and said to Zhang Xuan: "It's a pity that Shubao didn't come back, he still went to Taiyuan with Pei Shuai." ”

Zhang Xuan smiled faintly and said: "Everyone has their own ambitions, this kind of thing really can't be forced, I also told Qiaolang that if he is willing to follow his father-in-law, I will send him to Taiyuan." But he resolutely refused to leave the Qingzhou Army, and Yuanqing was the same, and he was unwilling to leave. ”

"Yes! It is estimated that Pei Shuai could not have imagined that so many people were unwilling to go to Taiyuan, and the army fled on a large scale on the night after crossing the Yellow River, and it was a temporary camp at that time, and there was no camp fence. I can't stop at all, I heard that at least 8,000 people have fled, and if Pei Shuai defects to the Qingzhou army, it will not be like this. ”

Zhang Xuan thought that Pei Renji surrendered to the Wagang Army in history, but he didn't expect that Pei Renji just made a false shot, but ran to take refuge in Li Yuan, and his fate should have changed. My arrival in this era has completely changed the trajectory of history, where will history go in the future, and what will be my fate?

Zhang Xuan's mood also became very heavy, and unconsciously, he was a little drunk

At night, Lu Qing sat in front of the window and looked at the letter her father wrote to her, this letter was received the day before yesterday, and she didn't know how many times she had read it. In her heart, her father expressed to her the willingness of the Pei family to marry Zhang Xuan, hoping that she would agree.

Pei's protégés and former officials are all over the court and localities. Moreover, the Pei family has a huge influence in the state, and in the future, his husband and the Guanlong nobles will compete for the world, and the strategic significance of the state is very significant, so this marriage is very important to her husband's future.

Lu Qing has been married to Zhang Xuan for more than two years, of course she is very aware of her husband's ambition to compete for the world, and she is also a woman who knows the general situation. will not affect her husband's ambitions for her own emotions, and since her father has said this, she will also agree to this political marriage.

It's just that she doesn't know what kind of woman this daughter of the Pei family is, her father said in the letter that she is not a concubine, but it doesn't matter if she is a concubine or not. They will get along day and night in the future, and Lu Qing felt that her mansion was too small for the first time.

She could agree to the marriage, but she needed to talk to her husband about it.

Another reason why Lu Qing agreed to this marriage was that Wu Niang's child died, it was a baby boy, born at full term, and died not long after birth, although this kind of thing is more common, even the imperial family can't avoid it, but this incident still hit their whole family hard, Wu Niang was depressed, and Xin Yu couldn't get pregnant.

Therefore, Lu Qing considered that her husband had too few heirs, and it was necessary to marry another wife.

At this time, Lu Qing got up and asked, "Ah Yuan, is the master back?" ”

Ah Yuan shook his head, "No news yet!" ”

Lu Qing was a little upset, her husband came back from Jibei County this morning, but he hasn't returned home yet, where did he go?

At this moment, Lixiang ran in like a gust of wind and said urgently: "Madam, the housekeeper said that the master is back, and he has drunk a little too much." ”

What is drinking too much, it is drunk! Lu Qing didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly walked quickly outside the gate

The soldiers guarded a carriage and stopped in front of the mansion, and several soldiers carefully helped the drunk Zhang Xuan down, and a housekeeper had already run to inform his wife, and not long after, Lu Qing rushed to the gate with Xin Yu and more than a dozen maids and servants.

Lu Qing had never seen her husband so drunk, she frowned, and asked her relatives, "What's going on?" Drunk like this before you get home! ”

The pro-soldier team is smiling bitterly: "Mrs. Huiyu, today is to return to Qingzhou General Jia to wash the dust, everyone toasted to the marshal, in fact, there have been toasts before, the marshal has not been drunk, I don't know why the marshal got drunk this time, we can't persuade it." ”

Lu Qing sighed helplessly, "Forget it, hand over the general to me, and you guys should go and rest!" ”

Lu Qing asked several female guards to come forward to support her husband and help him back to the inner house, at this time, Zhang Xuan suddenly drank and squatted under the wall and vomited, Lu Qing gently patted his back, after a while, Zhang Xuan was slightly sober, only to feel dizzy for a while, his legs were weak, and he couldn't stand up, Lu Qing hurriedly supported him, slowly picked him up, and complained in a low voice: "Why is you drunk like this?" ”

Zhang Xuan muttered, Lu Qing didn't hear clearly, but she saw that her husband's face was very pale, so she hurriedly told Ah Yuan to prepare the decanting soup, and asked Lixiang to prepare hot water, and she and Xin Yu helped her husband into the room.

Zhang Xuan was half-lying on the rattan chair, holding Lu Qing's hand and said vaguely: "Lady, my heart is beating so hard that I am chills, give me some hot tea!" ”

"I see, hot tea is coming soon."

At this time, Ah Yuan brought a big bowl of hot sobering sour soup, Lu Qing hurriedly helped her husband, gave him a full bowl of sour soup, and took off his shoes and socks for him with Xin Yu, wiped his body with hot water, scalded his feet with boiling water, and finally wrapped him in a thick futon, tossing for more than half an hour before cleaning up the matter.

Seeing her husband's face gradually change from pale to ruddy, and he slept very sweetly, Lu Qingcai finally let go of her heart and let everyone go back to rest, she was also a little exhausted.

Jang Hyun was also busy outside for a month, and his body was very tired, and he was drunk, so he didn't wake up until the next morning.

Zhang Xuan opened his eyes, only to feel a terrible headache, he slowly sat up, and suddenly alarmed Lu Qing, who was embroidering brocade next to him, Lu Qing hurriedly put down the needle and thread, picked up the teacup and sat in front of her husband, pursed her lips and smiled: "What happened last night?" I kind of forgot, can you tell me? ”

Zhang Xuan took the teacup and took a sip of hot tea, smiled awkwardly: "I don't know why I got drunk yesterday, I obviously only drank three bowls of wine, and usually this little wine is not a problem"

Lu Qing was angry and funny, "What do you mean that you only drank three bowls, your soldiers said that you drank fourteen bowls of wine, and you couldn't persuade you, and you were still angry, you!" I really don't know what to say about you, is this the demeanor of Qi Guogong? ”

Zhang Xuan scratched the back of his head and laughed: "I remember, the monarchs of Qi like to drink, and Duke Qi Huan is even better at drinking!" ”

"Okay, give you a pole and climb up, people's surname is Tian, your surname is Zhang, hurry up! It's time for lunch. ”

"I actually slept until noon, no wonder it was so sweet."

Zhang Xuan rolled over and got out of bed, he saw that his wife was cleaning up the table, her body was plump and delicate, his heart fluttered, and he hugged her from behind, "Lady, we haven't seen each other for a long time." ”

Lu Qing was touched by her husband and softened, and complained in a low voice: "Who made you drunk last night!" ”

"It's too late"

"Nonsense!"

Lu Qing pulled his hand away and twisted his ear hatefully, "I'm going to die, it's daylight, Ah Yuan and Rika are outside, they will be heard." ”

Her face was crimson, and she whispered, "I'll talk about it in the evening." ”

"Oh my God! Hurry up and get dark! ”

Zhang Xuan made an exaggerated joke, and at this time, he suddenly saw Lu Zhuo's letter on the table, and immediately smiled: "Oh! My father-in-law has written here, lady, I want to tell you good news. ”

"I know what the good news is."

Lu Qing turned around and looked at her husband with a smile, "My father said in the letter that he had the help of Pei Gong, was named the pacification envoy of the Central Plains, and had left Jiangdu, this letter was written on the boat of the Huai River, this is the happiest thing for me, I have already written to tell my mother, and there is another thing I want to congratulate you." ”

"What's the good thing?"

"I have agreed to accept the daughter of the Pei family to enter, you are ready to have another Jiao Niang!"

"What!" Zhang Xuan looked stunned, "What is the daughter of the Pei family?" ”

Lu Qing glanced at him and asked strangely, "Doesn't the husband know?" ”

Zhang Xuan shook his head again and again, "I don't know anything, what's going on?" ”

Lu Qing suddenly understood that the Pei family wanted to get his consent before telling his husband, so the husband didn't know about it yet, which was also the key to ordinary people's concubines, and the consent of the wife was required to enter the house, relatively speaking, the man's opinion was sometimes not important.

Lu Qingyan smiled, "Husband, think about it yourself!" Why is the Pei family in a hurry to marry their daughter to you, and they do not hesitate to commit to being a flat wife, this is an unprecedented experience for the Pei family! ”

After speaking, Lu Qing turned around and went to the front to prepare lunch. (To be continued.) )
