Chapter 104: Soldiers

It didn't take long for the seedlings to be drawn. It is also very pleasing to look at the green, and even He Jue was coaxed by Chen Shuang to carry a small bucket happily, and he had to water it several times a day.

Chen Caichun felt that something was a little inappropriate, so he asked Chen Shuangchuan: "Teach him to learn these things, and he can only make a good career after studying hard." ”

"I didn't expect it to be out, I just didn't want He Jue to grow up to be a person who couldn't grow up, and even if he left us in the future, he would be able to live a good life by himself."

"You're always thinking too much."

After getting married, Chen Caichun's smile was not less, and he often accompanied He Jinyuan downstairs to help in the vegetable field, looking that he should be getting along well, Chen Shuangchuan gradually relaxed, thinking that it would be better if he could conceive a boy and girl.

I can't rush this matter, so I can only wait slowly, but when the New Year was approaching, Lu Sufen suddenly came to ask Chen Shuang to come over.

In the countryside, the He family did not raise horses, and it was extremely inconvenient to go out, but fortunately, Lu Sufen also knew about it, and sent a carriage over in advance, which was quite convenient.

When I met Lu Sufen. Chen Shuangchuan complained: "Something urgent, so much so that you even called me the car?" ”

"Who let you live in such a remote area, it's completely in the middle of nowhere."

"Okay, what is the general's wife looking for me, a country woman?"

Lu Sufen's face flushed slightly, and she twisted for a long time before saying to Chen Shuangchuan that she was pregnant.

Chen Shuangchuan has been friends with Lu Sufen for so long, so she is naturally really happy for her, and carefully takes her back to sit down, looks left and right, and laughs from time to time.

Seeing that he was a little happier than Lu Sufen, he also made Lu Sufen laugh and said, "It's only been a long time, it's worth being so careful." ”

"The first few months are even more careful." Chen Shuangchuan replied.

After laughing for a while, Lu Sufen pulled Chen Shuangchuan to say something, Lu Sufen was also very anxious when she hadn't been pregnant for many years, and the doctor didn't know how many home remedies she had tried, but they all had no effect. One day when I came back, I happened to hear someone saying that the doctor was very clever and focused on this gynecology childbearing.

Because those people said carefully, Lu Sufen took it to heart when she heard it, and quietly invited the doctor with the mentality of a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

Who would have thought that the doctor had carefully looked at Lu Sufen, and he wanted to see General Li, the man's face was golden, and General Li was a person who was accustomed to orders, where was he willing to obey, he almost didn't roar in front of the court, but he was still tough but Lu Sufen. It can only be a stupid pass.

After the doctor cut the pulse and asked for a consultation, he only said that General Li had injured his spleen and kidney in his early years, and he was eager to ask for a child, so there was no control over those things, and the doctor also admitted frankly that it was already a fundamental injury, and I was afraid that it would be difficult to heal.

Lu Sufen and his wife were originally a little desperate, who thought about taking needles and medicine, recuperated for more than half a year, and finally conceived this child with difficulty, so happy that the two of them thought God blessed.

Lu Sufen only said that she had seen a famous doctor, who had a good reputation and good medical skills, and Chen Shuangchuan should also look for him.

Chen Shuangchuan thought about it this way, so he accepted Lu Sufen's kindness and carefully asked where the miracle doctor was.

After resigning Lu Sufen, when she came out, it was still early in the sky. The divine doctor was not very far away, so Chen Shuangchuan stopped by and took a look.

I thought that since it was a skilled doctor, it must be a crowded city, very lively, and I didn't realize until Chen Shuangchuan found it, but it was a small medical house, the store was clean and tidy, but there was only a child in it who was slowly cutting the medicine, and the little head was little by little, as if he was about to fall asleep.

"Is Dr. Ning there?"

only asked one sentence, but the little boy was so shocked that he almost jumped up, his hands quickly moved, and he quickly cut several times before he looked up and saw Chen Shuangchuan standing in front. The little boy was polite, and after asking the salute in a similar manner, he said: "Mr. went to the doctor, I'm afraid it will be dark before I return, and if I am in the emergency, there are doctors in the Huichun Hall over there." ”

I only heard Lu Sufen say that the doctor's surname is Ning Mingliang, and the side is not very clear, originally I just wanted to stop by to take a look, but when I heard the child say this, Chen Shuang was a little interested, it seems that this doctor does not look like a mortal.

It's just that Chen Shuangchuan came here unfortunately, she didn't dare to wait until it was dark, she only asked a few words to the child, I heard that Dr. Ning often went to the doctor, but it was difficult to see people in this medical house, so she could only leave her own address. Let the boy bring a message.

When he came out, Chen Shuangchuan thought about the two small ones in the family, and he didn't take them out He Jue puffed out his mouth, and was a little depressed, so he went around to the street, bought a string for He Ruyu, and brought a bag of candy to He Jue, and then went to the post station to rent a carriage and go home.

He Jue is still young, it is the time when it is so sweet, giving a few pieces of candy is to smile happily, He Ruyu is a little difficult to coax, although he likes it when he looks at it, but he said seriously: "Sister-in-law, these are too expensive, Ruyu will fight herself." ”

This girl, Chen Shuangchuan thought a little depressedly, she shouldn't have lost her, how could she have developed such a calculating attitude, and she is getting older and older, only at such an old age, sometimes she can say her speechless, and she is not as sticky to her as she was when she was a child, Chen Shuangchuan only felt a little lost.

Chen Caichun, who was on the side, was smiling. smiled and hugged He Ruyu and rubbed her little face, and said to Chen Shuangchuan: "I don't know this, I thought it was your own, this temperament is exactly the same as when you were a child, sometimes it's just quite annoying, and you don't know it at all, I really can't wait to rub you twice." ”

"Really?" No mistakes, no word skipping. He Ruyu grabbed Chen Caichun and said, "Sister Caichun, just tell me about it." ”

Although he is already married to He Jinyuan. is also Ruyu's sister-in-law, but Sister Caichun is used to being called, and she can't change her mouth for a while, and Chen Caichun also said that she can't get used to hearing her call her sister-in-law, so she called it down.

Seeing He Ruyu's cheeks puffing out slightly, gently pulling her sleeves, Chen Caichun really felt as if she saw Chen Shuangchuan when she was a child, and when she was nervous, she unconsciously had such a small habit, which was rare and childish.

couldn't help but tease He Ruyu for a while, seeing that she was really annoyed, Chen Caichun pulled her to the side, picked up some things when she was a child and told her to listen, the two seemed to be happy, whispered, looked at Chen Shuang from time to time, and lowered their heads and laughed together, as if there was something very colatable.

After being laughed at a few times like this, Chen Shuangchuan felt inexplicably weak, and couldn't help but throw away the needle and thread, and said with horizontal eyes: "You two just laugh, when you laugh enough, you don't have to eat, but there is a big fish today, and it just so happens that I have a bag with He Jue." ”

He Ruyu hurriedly jumped up, and with a shy face, she came to Chen Shuangchuan and kept calling her sister-in-law, good sister-in-law, which caused Chen Shuangchuan to smile, nodded her forehead and said, "Okay, I'm the life of a cook." ”

Chen Shuangchuan is the best at cooking, although he usually cooks from time to time, but it is not as early as today, so leisurely, I went to the kitchen to see, the rice and grain are still enough, and the vegetables and fish are also newly bought, fresh, and Chen Shuangchuan is interested.

Took some glutinous rice flour. Mix with three points of rice flour, add sugar, knead it with warm water until it is soft, knead it into a small ball, roll it in water, drain it, wrap it in a layer of fried powder, and loosely put it on a plate.

He Jue likes to eat sweet, and He Ruyu likes to eat salty.

After Chen Shuangchuan finished making fried flour balls, he re-took the sweet potato flour and mixed some flour and green cabbage leaves, wrapped the radish vermicelli jerky and kneaded it into a dumpling the size of a child's fist, steamed it in the pot, and sprinkled some fried flour on the plate so as not to stick it, so as not to put the dumplings one by one, and waited for the skin to cool down and not stick to it before putting it away again.

The fish was made into soup by the tofu put in the old frost, boiled milky white, and the green green onions floated.

Chen Shuangchuan was doing it, but he didn't expect He Jinbao to come back suddenly, and when he saw that he was drying sweet potato dumplings, he didn't wash his hands, so he grabbed one and stuffed it into his mouth.

was seen by Chen Shuangchuan and slapped his hands, and scolded angrily: "How old are you, you still eat secretly." ”

He Jinbao laughed hehehe, ate one in two bites, touched another one while Chen Shuangchuan was not paying attention, and then said to the fire girl: "You go out, I'll just come here." ”

He Jinbao looked at the fire, Chen Shuangzhen took a Chinese cabbage, peeled the leaves, stomped and cut it, and asked, "Why did you come back so early today?" ”

"It's okay over there, so I'll be back early." He Jinbao added a piece of firewood and dialed it, "How many dishes are there?" ”

Chen Shuangchuan looked at it, glutinous rice balls, sweet potato balls, crucian carp soup, and cabbage were cut, and he cut a few slices of bacon, and while picking oil into the pot, he said, "Just fry this." ”

Chen Shuang churned neatly, and soon put the cabbage out of the pot, added water to the pot and waited for the residual temperature to heat up, and waited for the dishes to be washed, so he said okay to He Jinbao, and waited for a while without waiting for He Jinbao to answer, he looked over, He Jinbao seemed to be thinking, he was a little distracted, and under the light of the fire, his face seemed to be a little hesitant.

"Something?"

After approaching and asking, He Jinbao came back to his senses and said, "In a few days, I will probably go out with the army." ”

"What happened to the west?" Chen Shuangchuan was stunned for a moment, thinking that the last time Lu Sufen seemed to have said that the west seemed to be a little unpeaceful, and she didn't know if it would be her husband's turn to go on the expedition, so as soon as He Jinbao said that he would go on the expedition, Chen Shuangchuan immediately thought of this matter and asked.

He Jinbao nodded: "I haven't invented the purpose yet, but I probably can't avoid this matter." ”

Needless to say, the maid came to call for dinner, so she could only stop temporarily and bring out all the food.

At this meal, Chen Shuangchuan ate a little absent-mindedly, just thinking about He Jinbao's expedition. After returning to the capital, He Jinbao has been working in the military department, although he is just a small outsider, but these months are the most reassuring months for Chen Shuangchuan, she doesn't want to be rich and expensive, she just feels that such a day is just right, the most comfortable, but this is a good and sudden ...... Chen Shuangchuan only felt uneasy.

This absent-mindedly, hearing He Jue call her, Chen Shuangchuan didn't listen much, and intuitively thought that he was a person with short hands and couldn't reach the food, so he kept putting glutinous rice balls into his bowl.

When she came back to her senses, He Jue's front was about to pile up into a hill, He Jue flattened her mouth, and she was about to cry aggrievedly, and she pulled He Ruyu to complain: "Auntie, mother, she bullied me!" ”

Chen Shuangchuan is bitter, hungry, has always been very thrifty, but also afraid of raising children to ignorant of the world, the He family's dinner table is not allowed to have leftovers, how much has been eaten.

He Jue was originally tired of eating glutinous rice balls, and wanted Chen Shuangchuan to serve him some fish soup, who would have thought that Chen Shuangchuan didn't listen to it, and crackled a bunch of glutinous rice balls over, where could He Jue stuff so much, but when Chen Shuang was angry, he immediately turned red in his eyes, pulled He Ruyu, and pulled Chen Caichun, asking for help everywhere.

"Because He Jue is a picky eater, he only eats sweet, not cabbage, this is a punishment." He Ruyu said while giving He Jue some cabbage leaves, watching He Jue eat slowly with grievances, and was also afraid that he would eat bad stomach, so he took his own bowl and divided him a few glutinous rice balls.

He Jue had an idea, and hurriedly ran around the table with the bowl in front of He Jinbao, poked a round with chopsticks, and said with a smile: "Daddy has worked hard, eat more garden." ”

Seeing that his son was sent to his mouth, He Jinbao naturally opened his mouth happily to eat, but before he could speak, He Jue ran to He Jinyuan's side and said, "Uncle has also worked hard, Uncle eats." ”

This circle came down, and most of the hill in He Jue's bowl was immediately wiped out, and this kid smiled proudly at Chen Shuangchuan, with a villain on his face, he couldn't help but smile when he saw that Chen Shuangchuan was smiling, and took a vegetable leaf with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth.

He Jue's little face immediately stepped down, and a mouthful of food was in his mouth, neither swallowing nor spitting, but he was so anxious that his eyes were in tears, but he made everyone laugh for a while.

After this meal was finished, He Jue still held a grudge, buried his head in the quilt, and held his little butt to Chen Shuang, but he refused to come out.

The harmful Chen Shuangchuan hugged and coaxed him for a long time, and then coaxed him back, washed it dryly and stuffed it into the quilt, and closed his eyes. Chen Shuangchuan thought that He Jue had already fallen asleep, and just wanted to leave, but the kid suddenly jumped up, hugged Chen Shuangchuan's neck and rubbed it and said, "Even if the mother bullies He Jue, He Jue still likes his mother the most." I almost didn't move Chen Shuangchuan so much that tears fell.

patted the quilt slowly, and when He Jue slept peacefully, Chen Shuangchuan returned to his room.

He Jinbao also heard He Jue's sentence just now, and said with some taste: "This stinky boy, obviously I took him to play more, but he never told me these words." ”

Chen Shuangchuan was still thinking about the expedition, and just as he opened his mouth to ask, he was hugged by He Jinbao's waist, and he said angrily: "It's good to have another caring daughter!" ”

Chen Shuangchuan only snorted, and was gagged by He Jinbao, and for a while he only heard the candle burst open, and the room was bright and dark a few times, and a * light was melting.

When it was over, He Jinbao didn't wear clothes, he only held Chen Shuangchuan and refused to let it go, incense a few times, and was a little impatient, and was twisted by Chen Shuangchuan several times, so he honestly leaned on the head of the bed and slowly told Chen Shuangchuan to listen.

Looking at the harmony, this court is actually also surging.

He Jinbao also vaguely told Chen Shuangchuan before that the court can probably be divided into three factions: the old nobles, the new nobles, and the military guards in the capital, and the relationship is very complicated.

If Sima Zixia just wanted to be an inactive emperor, the current situation of three factions in the court, containing each other, and taking care of each other is just right, and he is not afraid of desperate and trembling to the death, affecting the government and politics, and it will not be unstoppable by one party.

But Sima Zixia is ambitious and courageous, he is not willing to be left in power, and he is torn between the three factions all day long, Sima Zixia just wants to see a court that operates wholeheartedly, and this one wish, the first thing to do is to suppress and eliminate the party.

The military guard faction is also the force of Sima Zixia's relatives, although it controls most of the military power, but most of the people in this faction are promoted by Sima Zixia exceptionally, although they are deeply trusted by Sima Zixia, but they are also the shallowest foundation and cannot withstand the wind and rain.

He Jinbao alone has several ups and downs, although most of them are because of Sima Ziheng, the king of Wen, but there is no lack of people from those two factions.

Over the years, the partisan struggle has never been severed, and the three factions also have their own victories and defeats, not inferior, but how many private things are here, even Sima Zixia is afraid that he can't understand it all, He Jinbao only vaguely heard some, only felt that it was tragic and abnormal, and the war in the west was only the tip of the iceberg, far from representing the whole picture.

This war in the west actually refers to Suizhou in the southwest of the Zhou Dynasty, because this war first began in Ping'an County, so some people call it Ping'an Rebellion.

The county order of Ping'an County was originally a squire of the Criminal Department, surnamed Tang Ming'an, and the word Zining, because of the emphasis on Sima Zixia, and later changed the word to Changning, which belonged to the old aristocratic faction, and the newly appointed Shangshu Gao Sang of the Criminal Department was Sima Zixia's descendant, and this criminal department was naturally fighting every day.

Although he is from the military guard, Gao Sang is very different from others, he was born in an aristocratic family, originally with Sima Hongwen, because of his mistakes, he was expelled from the Gao family, and was sent to the execution ground by Sima Hongwen, and was rescued by Sima Zixia by chance, and then he has been with Sima Zixia.

Gao Sang understands all the ruthless methods of the aristocratic family, and he has sharpened it, and he has patience and viciousness, and that Tang Changning is also powerful, and he can actually mix it up, and occasionally he can fight back once or twice. It's just that I didn't know what happened later, the old aristocratic faction suffered a big loss, so they had no choice but to push Tang Shilang out to confess, and Tang Changning was sent to Ping'an County to make a small county order.

Tang Changning is an ambitious person, this time he was innocently convicted, naturally he was sad and angry, and gradually he actually turned against him, starting from Ping'an County, slowly expanding his power, quietly building up an army, and after a few years, the momentum should not be underestimated.
