Section 21 Although the food of the guards camp is good, it is far from the prime minister's mansion. Zhu Huai used to have the reputation of "Governor of Books and Chess", and naturally he was also a person who never got tired of eating and being fine. Although Wu Ming has been raised a little tricky by Zhu Yuqing in the past few days, when he saw these meals, he knew that he was a frog at the bottom of the well. The table was full of tables, all of which were full of colors and flavors, and he couldn't help but glance at his wife sitting next to him. No wonder she is so superb in cooking, I'm afraid it has something to do with her, a delicious Lao Tzu. Presumably, these were also taught by Mrs. Zhu before her death.

Zhu Huai sat on the top with a calm face, as if it was about to thunder and rain. Zhu Yulong and Mrs. Zhu sandwiched Zhu Xiaolong between them and sat on the left. On the right are Zhu Yuhu and an old woman. That old woman should be Zhu Yuhu's biological mother, Aunt Yao in Xiaoqing's mouth. Since she is Zhu Huai's concubine, her age should be much younger than Zhu Huai, but she looks as if she is ten years older than Zhu Huai, and she is also a little demented, and she salivates from time to time, no wonder the prime minister rarely mentions it. Zhu Yuhu is quite filial, and from time to time he takes out a handkerchief and carefully wipes it for his mother.

After what happened that day, this kid is not demented. It's just that it has become a stuffy gourd, this banquet is a bit dull, he and the second lady stay on the right, and they don't say a word, which makes people feel even more depressed. Even Zhu Xiaolong felt that the atmosphere was not right, and he just made a muffled voice.

Zhu Yuqing looked at her husband, who was bowing his head and contemplating. glanced at everyone again, and with a blink of his eyes, he guessed the reason, it must be that the stupid melon next to him didn't know how to advance or retreat, and said something that disappointed his father. She poured a glass of wine, stood up and said, "Father, this is the first time that our family has gathered together like this since my mother left. For this reason, it should be celebrated and rejoiced. ”

Seeing her stand up, Wu Ming knew what to do even if he was really a fool. Hurriedly holding a cup, he hurriedly stood up.

This remark really worked, as soon as Mrs. Zhu was mentioned, Zhu Huai's face changed greatly, and he glanced at the daughter and son-in-law who were standing below, and sighed faintly: "The northern country is full of frost and snow, and the southern rhododendron presses the Cangshan Mountain." The same is true of life. After sighing, he glared at Wu Ming and said, "Xiaoqing is weak and can't drink, can't you do it for you?" I don't know if my daughter has taken a fancy to you. ”

Hearing Zhu Huai say this, Wu Ming breathed a sigh of relief. I poured four glasses of wine in a row, and did it first as a respect. Zhu Huai saw that he had finished drinking, and his face eased up. Zhu Yuqing walked in front of Zhu Huai, personally served a bowl of rice for Zhu Huai, handed it to Zhu Huai and said: "Reunion dinner, reunion dinner, how can you not eat at reunion." Father, my daughter will not be able to serve you this Chinese New Year's Eve, but now she will serve it to you, so that you will not be blamed. ”

She is now married to Wu Ming, and according to custom, she can only stay at her husband's house at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve. Zhu Huai also seemed to be quite emotional, took the bowl and did not speak. Seeing that Zhu Yuqing had served the whole family in turn, he put down the bowl and said slowly: "Xiaoqing, know the daughter Mo Ruo's father, let's say, do you want to make any inexplicable requests." As he spoke, he glanced at Wu Ming meaningfully.

Wu Ming was unmoved, he pleaded for Tian Hong, but it was not necessarily all selfishness, naturally he had a clear conscience.

Zhu Yuqing covered his mouth and chuckled, and said, "Father, I discussed with Ah Ming and wanted to implement a new education method among the martial arts students of Nanning Academy. ”

Zhu Huai thought that his daughter was also begging Tian Hong, and he was thinking about how to push the committee. But he didn't expect Zhu Yuqing to say such a thing, and he became interested and said, "Oh, let's hear it." ”

Zhu Yuqing simply told Zhu Huai the results of the discussion with Yang Yi. Zhu Huai was still smiling at first, drinking the wine comfortably, and when Zhu Yuqing said that, his face became solemn, he didn't even drink the wine, put down the cup and listened carefully. Ask a few questions from time to time. Leaning slightly, Zhu Yuqing finished speaking, looked at Zhu Huai and said, "Do you think it's feasible?" Father? ”

Zhu Huai twisted the wine glass in one hand, and the glass spun rapidly in his palm, but the wine in it did not ripple out. After a long time, he muttered: "It's worthy of my daughter, this trick is really powerful." You want Nanning Academy to become the Flower Courtyard of the Guards Battalion. As he spoke, he glanced at Wu Ming, who was a little inexplicable, and said with a smile: "I don't know if your kid is blessed by cultivation in several lifetimes, but my daughter actually looked at you right." ”

Zhu Yuqing was suddenly embarrassed, his face was as bright as the morning glow, and he said angrily: "Father, you boast about your daughter like this." ”

"Hahahaha!" Zhu Huai seemed to think of something funny, and laughed loudly. At the end, he wiped away his tears and said, "Of course this proposal is feasible, I have absolutely no opinion." However, it's not enough for me to nod, on the side of the Sending Zi Temple, I'm afraid Niangniang won't agree. ”

Wu Ming is not a fool, although he didn't know why at first, he understands it now. Tao Yu finally persuaded Cangsong Pavilion to send four hundred warriors over, and then made a plan to empty himself. But Xiao Qing was even more powerful this time, and directly controlled the source of the reserve martial artist firmly. And these students all use their own **, and their loyalty is self-evident.

He smiled bitterly, Tao Yu could agree to that, hell. However, I really didn't think of this at first, no wonder Xiaoqing was suddenly so enthusiastic at the dinner table.

Zhu Yuqing laughed: "Father can agree, that's fine, as for Niangniang's side, I'll figure it out." Wu Ming and Zhu Huai were stunned and were about to ask again. At this time, Zhu Yuhu, who had been silent, interjected: "Wu Ming, have you figured out how to form the guard battalion?" ”

But it stopped him. Yes, in the past, there were only 999 warriors at most in the Guards Battalion, and they were dedicated to guarding the royal security, so naturally there was no need to think about it so much. But now that there is the Black Armor Army, there will be 10,000 elites of Jian Feiyang in the future. And he is the founder of the military, and the team will definitely get bigger and bigger, and there will be more and more generals. There must be a specific framework, the so-called military power and magnates, if left unchecked, it will be difficult to distinguish between the official ranks of the current Guards Battalion and the Black Armor Army. Once there is a real war, the official positions of the two sides are not the same, and when the armies dispatch each other, it is even more difficult to figure out which person has a higher rank, which leads to confusion. And there is an army in the army, which also makes it impossible to issue the situation, which only increases the chaos. He thought for a moment and said, "I still have to discuss this matter with a few team leaders, as well as Lord Zuo of the Black Armor Army. ”

Zhu Yulong exchanged glances with his father before continuing: "I won't hide it from you now, after tomorrow's court meeting, you will be the general of Sanpin Zhendong." General Sanpin is already a high-grade general, and has the right to command the army to fight alone, you naturally have a charter in mind, otherwise it will be a mess, how to build a government and lead the troops? ”

Wu Ming was dizzy in his mind, although he knew that after Guangyang's victory, the imperial court would definitely promote himself. But when I really got the news, I still couldn't help myself. The governor of a province in the Eastern Han Dynasty, regardless of military positions, must be a member of the three grades. Sanpin is a watershed, once you enter Sanpin, the general can really lead the army to fight alone, and the civilian official can be competent for any of the princes.

Seeing Wu Ming's appearance, Zhu Huai picked up the cup and took a sip of wine. Said slowly: "Wu Ming, there is something I must make clear to you, yesterday Niangniang and I have agreed to the request of the Northern Meng Shizi Nayanda Alliance. He paid us 30,000 fine war horses at one time and deposited them with Governor He for the time being. And he has only one condition, that is, Princess Dream Ling marries him as the main room Kedun. ”

These words were like a muffled thunder, exploding in Wu Ming's ears. He felt as if he had fallen from the clouds to hell. Hurriedly settled down, and was about to refute, Zhu Huai had already said slowly: "This matter has been decided, the princess and the prince of Nayan Da were also present at that time, and the two parties nodded their heads, so don't think about it." ”

Looking at Wu Ming's bruised white face, Zhu Yuqing was very worried, and hurriedly stretched out his little hand and held it with his backhand to show comfort. At this moment, Zhu Yuhu, who had been serving the second lady at dinner, slapped the table and cried loudly: "I don't agree. ”

Although Zhu Yuhu's martial arts are not very good, he is also a martial artist. This time it was even more angry. The pot of broth next to him jumped even higher. splashed, the soup was dripping, splashing all over his face, and even the second lady's face was splashed a lot. He didn't wipe either, but was still there, shouting with all his might: "I don't agree, I don't agree, I don't agree......"

Looking at his wolf bèi, Zhu Huai was also on fire. Shouted: "What agrees or disagrees? Who are you? The two parties have already exchanged tokens, you and I are willing. After he finished speaking, he glanced at Wu Ming, who was stunned.

Wu Ming's heart ached, but he didn't know what to say. Yesterday I went to find Xiaoling, and she was picked up by Tao Yu early in the morning, but it turned out to be for this matter. Just what can you say? The prime minister is right, there is no problem with the two parties. What else can I say? What else can be said?

Just now, after drinking four glasses of wine, others began to be in a trance. I only remember that Zhu Yuhu shouted something later, and then ran out crying. The whole family was suddenly anxious, and shouted again and again, but fortunately, Steward Hu led people to block the third son of the Zhu family, and this family banquet was also unhappily dispersed.

In the end, I don't know how I was sent home by my wife.

Fortunately, there was Yang Yi and others to help, otherwise, with the strength of Zhu Yuqing and the two maids, there was really no way to help Wu Ming to the bed. Xiaohui's eyes moved away from the bed, looked at Zhu Yuqing, and said a little worriedly: "Madam, what's wrong with you, adult?" Isn't it nice to go out in the morning? ”

Zhu Yuqing folded the quilt for Wu Ming, looked at her husband who was still talking nonsense, sighed and said, "If the wine is not drunk, everyone is drunk, let's go, let's go out first." Xiaohui answered, and the master and servant carefully closed the door, and then walked out.

As soon as she stepped out of the door, a drop of cold something landed on Zhu Yuqing's face, stabbing her skin painfully. She stretched out her right hand, and saw a little crystal bead tumble down her sleeve, splashing into her snow-white palm, and then turning into a puddle of water. Xiaohui exclaimed, "Oh, madam, it's raining." ”

Zhu Yuqing said: "Wrong, it's sleet." ”

"Oh." Still Mrs. is careful, Xiaohui playfully stuck out her tongue, and then helped her to walk downstairs. The master and servant were walking, but the voice came from far away in the aisle.

"Xiaohui."

"Huh?"

"You go and tell Lao Song to prepare the carriage."

"Madam, it's snowing, do you still want to go out?"

After a pause, Zhu Yuqing's voice sounded again: "After the New Year, the daughter of Lord Tang, the servant of the household department, is about to turn old, I wanted to take some time to go and see it with the adults, but if you look at his current appearance, I'm afraid it won't work." Let's go buy some things for children and go to Lord Tang's house to sit down. ”
