As soon as the voice of the woman in the luxurious red dress fell, Zhao Ling immediately strode forward like a meteor, no matter how many family members were in the distance, and there were several maids in the distance who had been watching them, he stepped forward and took the woman into his arms, and said in a low voice with a smile: "Madam, I'm back." ”

The woman pushed Zhao Ling away with a light smile, and muttered in a low voice: "There are other people here, pay attention"

Before the woman in the red dress could finish speaking, several of the maids around her and the housekeepers in the distance had already turned around, and even quickened their pace to a place where the situation in the garden could not be seen. At this time, Zhao Ling didn't have the same impulse as he had at the beginning, he took his wife's hand and sat down, and asked softly, "Hong'er, in the past few months since I was at home, is everything okay at home?"

Although the woman in the rich red dress was dressed in a lady's outfit, her actual age was only in her twenties. Compared with Zhao Ling, who is nearly forty, he is indeed much younger. Because the age gap is here, Zhao Ling also loves his young lady very much.

This woman known as "Hong'er" is actually not simple, there are four of the most famous family inheritances in the country, the most far-reaching of which is naturally the royal Chen family, the power of the royal Chen family can even support half of the sky in the country, which is why the royal Chen family can now have such a large power, they have a solid foundation laid for nearly 100 years.

In addition to the royal Chen family, there are three major families, although these three families cannot be compared with the royal Chen family, they are also the main forces that control the place. Among them, this Zhao Ling's wife is from the Kong family of Jucheng, whose main activities and base are located on the border of the Oriental Shenghai Sea. The Kong family not only controls the fields and cultivators, they are most famous for controlling the iron casting and production of the entire royal Chen family, and every man of the Kong family is born with a compulsory practice of smelting. Although now because the gold, silver and copper mines are controlled by the country, this pig iron resource cannot be mined, which naturally greatly weakens part of the influence of the Confucian family. But in order to envelop the Kong family, Chen Xuan, the head of the Chen family of the royal family, made a two-pronged action, he himself married Kong Xiang, the eldest daughter of the Kong family, as his second wife, and also let his henchman Zhao Ling, who had never been married alone, marry the little daughter of the Kong family, Kong Hong, whom he has always loved. Kong Hong is more outgoing and often likes to sneak out to play alone. It was precisely for such a reason that Zhao Ling felt that she was different, and after contact, he naturally liked her. The two got married the year before last, and the relationship between husband and wife has always been very good. It is precisely because of these two marriages that the Kong family has changed from the original swaying gravity to fully supporting the royal Chen family.

It's just that whether it is the Kong family or the royal Chen family, even Zhao Ling doesn't know that the identity of his beloved wife is actually not so simple, because she is the same age as Chen Xinyu, and she is a girl who is more active by nature. A few years ago, when Kong Hong quietly slipped out to play, he saw Chen Xinyu in Gaoyou County, near Yangcheng, and the two hit it off at first sight. But in the end, she still knew Chen Xinyu's true identity and had a lot of sympathy for him. After that, although Kong Hong ostensibly obeyed the family's arrangement, in fact, she was secretly helping Chen Xinyu, helping Chen Xinyu pass on some news, or telling Chen Xinyu about the military deployment within the Chen family of the royal family in advance. The last time Chen Xinyu wanted Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, two siblings, to help her deliver a letter, it was actually not for Chen Xuan, the head of the Chen family of the royal family, but for Kong Hong, who has now become Mrs. Zhao Ling. However, that time, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, two brothers and sisters, were trapped in the dragon mound and did not deliver the letter to Kong Hong. This also led in some ways to that fiasco on the Viku Plains.

However, Kong Hong never mentioned this matter, and the people around her did not know that she actually helped Empress Chen Xinyu of Shengde. On the contrary, because Zhao Ling doted on her very much, some military secrets for dispatching the army would also be told to her, which allowed Kong Hong to even learn a lot about the deployment and scheduling of the battle situation. Last time, when she left the country for an expedition of 100,000 troops, she had just returned to her mother's house, and then she didn't have time to tell Chen Xinyu what she had learned about the military dispatch of the royal Chen family. Now, her husband Zhao Ling has defeated the departing Southern Army, which makes Kong Hong sigh a little.

Of course, in front of Zhao Ling, Kong Hong did not show any regretful attitude and color in his heart, and even remained with a consistent smile. Because of the joy in his heart, Zhao Ling didn't pay too much attention to the deeper helplessness and sigh behind his wife's beautiful face and smile.

"There's actually nothing going on at home, anyway, everything is the same as before, but I don't have the backbone and always feel that this family can't be active. Also, I just want to go out and play this house, just let Granny Wu take care of it," Kong Hong said coquettishly half-truthfully.

Zhao Ling laughed, he knew that his wife was a very outgoing woman, and it was indeed a little difficult for her to let her do something like managing the mansion at home alone. When Zhao Ling thought of this, he couldn't help but feel an indescribable warm feeling in his heart. He clenched his wife's gentle and soft palm, and said with a smile: "In this way, next time we find an opportunity to ask His Royal Highness King Che for a time to ask for leave, we have time to go out and have a good time, how about it, don't be angry now, right?"

Kong Hong's face showed a very mischievous smile, her voice was very soft, revealing a slightly coquettish smile, Zhao Ling naturally couldn't refuse this rare hospitality of his wife. You must know that Kong Hong in normal times does things with a big grin, and rarely worries about these things. So, Zhao Ling took his wife's hand, and the two of them talked and laughed and walked slowly towards the tower.

At this time, it was a little after a while, in the middle of the building, Kong Hong was holding the slender jade finger to pour wine for Zhao Ling sitting in front of him, now Zhao Ling has taken off the armor he was originally wearing, revealing a white robe worn inside, which can still reveal a heroic feeling invisibly, he is now looking at the smiling woman in front of him with a very gentle and loving eye, Zhao Ling couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, he hurriedly took over this deep smile, although this smile looks like a very ordinary gentle smile in Zhao Ling, but only Kong Hong himself can understand。

So, Kong Hong didn't say anything else, and pointed directly to a small building hidden in the rockery and the blue spring on the opposite side of the garden, and said with a smile: "General, the concubine heard that the general returned today, and specially set up a banquet there, I wonder if the general can be interested in accompanying the concubine to drink?"

The words have already been said like this, how could Zhao Ling not accompany his little wife to enjoy such a very comfortable meal? Zhao Ling did not expect that his wife would make such a very thoughtful decision, in his impression, his wife is a very arrogant person, and the choices and arrangements he has made now are things that he really did not expect.

Not long after, Zhao Ling and Kong Hong were sitting opposite each other in the tower that could overlook almost the entire Zhao Ling mansion, and several of the maids who served them were also directly and temporarily dismissed by Kong Hong. In this tower, Kong Hong personally poured wine for the husband in front of him, and the slender jade hand raised the bottle of wine in front of him and toasted to the husband in front of him.

Zhao Ling faced the toast of his favorite wife, and he naturally would not refuse his wife's toast. Moreover, now Zhao Ling can feel that his wife is not as cold to him as she was when she got married before, which is something that makes him happier than having a lunch like this.

So, Zhao Ling also raised the wine glass in his hand, gently touched the wine bottle with his wife, and then raised his head and drank all the wine. Immediately, Zhao Ling took another piece of cooked beef that his wife had cut, and also swallowed this piece of cooked beef into his stomach. At the same time, Zhao Ling also handed a plate of veal in his hand to his wife, and said with a smile: "Hong'er, you can eat it too, don't give it to me all the time."

Kong Hong in front of him smiled silently, "You don't have to worry about me, I have been living here and enjoying this kind of life of fine clothes and food, and I have lived like this during the time you have been on the expedition." For me, this kind of life is nothing, it's just that the general's battle along the way will have some impact on life. After all, I also know that the marching army basically eats simple dry food, where can I have something to eat at home? These beef are specially ordered to be made for you in the kitchen, you don't know what to do," Kong Hong said in a slightly coquettish voice, pretending to be annoyed.

In the face of Kong Hong's slightly aggressive inquiry, Zhao Ling didn't have any way, he secretly felt that what his wife said was not too wrong, and the food he ate outside must not be as comfortable and comfortable as what he ate at home. Especially at this time in front of him, he is still facing his beloved wife. There was really nothing to be done about this, so Zhao Ling could only silently take the bowl of beef in front of him again, and said with a slow smile: "It's my luck to have a good wife like this."
