Chapter 408: Winter Offensive
Ying watched the fourth child go out, twisted his face and smiled at me, "What are you muttering to the girl?" ”
"Do you want to be involved in the workshop?"
Get up and stretch and squint at Ying. Recently, it's a little weird, I don't know what this careful-eyed lady has begun to calculate again, and every time she talks to the fourth child about something serious, she can appear at the right time. The time is still quite measured, and when the topic seems to be finished, it will not delay me and the fourth child to discuss and make decisions, but also fully reflect the sense of accomplishment of catching traitors into pairs, float a few strange words, do a few strange expressions, and by the way, promote the supreme authority of the eldest lady.
"Concubines don't dare to participate." Ying smiled sweetly, picked up two windfalls, and walked towards me, pulling my neckline and tugging at the wrinkled sleeves, regardless of whether there was floating dust or not, she also patted two handfuls and said thoughtfully: "The sloppy snow has not melted, where can you run in the weather?" ”
"What do you want to say, talk about the agricultural party quickly, I don't have time to serve you." Knowing oneself and knowing what the other lady is, we know it well as a husband. This is when there is a later word, pretending to take a tune, and when nothing happens, it doesn't matter if I have ash on my body or not, she has long been used to it.
"Another party?" Ying smiled and slapped her gray hand and added strength: "Next time, you have to keep an account, since the beginning of winter, the agricultural school has opened no less than fifty times, why has the weaving science under your jurisdiction not moved?" ”
"Since the word agriculture and weaving are made up, you don't need to bother too much, and you can save it." Shamelessly, he waved his hand lazily to the circle chair: "If you have something to say, say it quickly, lest you interrupt people's deliberations next time, do you always like to talk to others?" ”
"Last time, I heard Jiujin talk about the Three Kingdoms," Ying leaned on the armrest of the circle chair and thought: "If you don't decide on foreign affairs, ask what internal affairs, and ask who and who......"
"Foreign Affairs asked Chairman Chiang. Ask President Yuan about internal affairs, ask me about it! ”
"Go!" Ying kicked her foot in hatred, "Speak well." Mess around. The concubine wants to ask you who you are asking if you are undecided about foreign affairs? Oh, and the inside things. ”
"It's convenient to be in a hurry."
As soon as he got up, he dragged Ying back and pressed it on the chair, "No matter how you ask, you can't see the bottom of it." I haven't talked to my husband for a long time, so I ask with my front foot and run with my back foot. ”
"Eldest sister, you can ask directly, it's sexual affairs and internal urgency. As soon as you say it, I think about all that conditioning. "Patting the armrest boringly." You just ask the fourth child how to draw circles without drawing circles inside and outside. ”
"The concubine didn't mention what you said." Ying grabbed the conversation, sat down next to me proudly, and said with a wicked face: "What happened to the fourth child?" ”
"Believe it or not, I'm pumping you?" If someone else dares to ask, a teapot will be wedged up, and his wife will have to give two warnings. There is no king's law to return.
"It's never too late to smoke after that." Ying You shook her head fearlessly: "The fourth child is a sister-in-law, you are a husband, and the palms and backs of your hands are full of meat." There are only concubines in the world who can ask about this. It's not reasonable to take a beating for this, right? ”
Anyway, sooner or later, God is used to it on Ying's side. Since we talk about it, there is no topic that cannot be opened between husband and wife. "What do you think it looks like? I'm not hiring. If you really want to be as early as you think, there are ten or eight people out there who are not comfortable under your nose? ”
"It's weird. Saying that the concubine is a jealous woman can't afford it. ”
"You're welcome." Stretched out his hand to hold Ying's little grimace and pinch it a few times: "Madam, don't shirk it, God looks at it from the top, too modest is complacent." ”
"This is a big crime of seven times, and the husband can't make up charges casually." Ying squinted her eyes and looked out of the door, and the needle-nosed ghost head and ghost brain were wandering around the door frame, but she smashed her heart and reprimanded: "Second daughter, be careful, I will peel off your skin!" As soon as the words fell, the hurried footsteps outside seemed to be mixed with laughter. You don't care if it's getting worse and worse! ”
Helplessly, he spread his hands, "up and down." I'm indecided, and I ask you, is it too late for you to let me take care of it now? ”
"It's too far to say that the fourth child is far away." Ying got up and pulled a soft pier on her feet, and hesitated for a long time: "The concubine knows that the husband has no other hobbies except for running down the horse tomb, speaking of which, there are people with heads and faces around, and only our Wang family is the most quiet in the family." As for the fourth concubine, she has never thought about it from her husband's side...... But the fourth child ......"
"The fourth child is still young, what's interesting to worry about a little girl?"
"Small?" Ying almost broke her fingers, "You are sincere." Who will ask the fourth year, and no one in the Chen family is embarrassed to speak. This is relying on others, if this is not out of the cabinet at this age, the officials will not agree, it will become a joke. ”
"Then you don't look for me, your Chen family's affairs, Chen Jiaqing, I'll open my party." Ying herself didn't organize her thoughts, and she came to me contradictively to hold a marriage enlargement meeting for the fourth child, which is unreasonable.
The girl is unwilling to marry a girl, and according to my position, the choice of the fourth child should be respected. Ying now regrets that she shouldn't have let the fourth child control the two industries from the beginning, she couldn't export it, and she was embarrassed to mention it even in front of me.
It's easy to get married, but you can't find a bigger shopkeeper who is more suitable than the fourth child, and the annual income of more than 10,000 yuan will hurt if it shrinks. Not to mention, I also understand that the fourth marriage left a power vacuum, which means that the second daughter will have the most power, which is the most unbearable for Ying, especially the second daughter is now in a good mood, and she wants to have a performance and an heir, although I have always advertised that I am not partial, but the general atmosphere of the society is so Ying, and she has not reached the realm of indisputability.
Now that the fourth child is married, it is not that he will not marry, nor is it rumored outside, how the third lady can add nine catties, and if she has nothing to do, she will come to the story of the Three Kingdoms, Ying, which has a strange idea that even she herself is not sure. Lian Wu Kang Cao, Ke Ying's careful eyes, I know best, as long as the station in front of me is a woman, she can't tolerate any of them. So I gave her the easiest solution and divorced her.
"Alas!" Ying pinched my neck for a long time, but she was still reluctant to strangle me and gave up. said worriedly: "There is no result, how can the poor concubine, who is a sister, meet such a good girl." ”
"Don't splash dirty water on the fourth, you can't get along with yourself. The family is now in a miasma. Speaking of which, I patted Ying on the cheek. Our family is good, and I will allow you to talk nonsense in front of you. If you put it aside, you don't dare to talk to a man if you have an idea in your heart. After holding back for a long time, I had an evil energy, and in private, the bayonet was disgusting when I saw it red. ”
"Well, it's whining," Ying shook her hand helplessly. "But after thinking about it, I don't know what to rush, so I will tell you that I have to delay my husband's party." After finishing speaking, he broke his knuckles and said with a very bloodthirsty appearance: "Husband, you are busy, these days, the family has to take time to pick up the second daughter." The more unspeakable! ”
I agree with this that the second daughter should clean up. Ying couldn't say anything, and the second daughter didn't say anything. Ying Neng is distressed to this point. There are internal factors, but the small actions of the two daughters in it are indispensable. This girl has been a mother since she became a mother...... How can you say that it is far-sighted?
No one can avoid this, just like Li Shi once joked: when this wife, Teng, and concubine came back, they quickly knocked it with a stick, and if they left a little thought for her, they became evil. Three palaces and six courtyards? It's a place where evil is rampant. Since ancient times, kings do not live long, who dares to say that they are busy with politics? It's all about housework.
Although we listened to it as a big rebellious joke. But if you think about it, there is some truth to it. The kings were either annoyed to death by demons, or were angry with their children, and how many were really poked to death by the rebels? The king of Li Yuanguo first had his wife fight, and his heirs turned against him, what happened in the end? Is Li Shimin wise? Here, the son is busy rebelling, and the daughter is busy stealing a part-time monk to rebel, not to mention how old I live, I will have a hernia early.
The family has a big business, and the freshman is enviable, but his own family suffers from his own three wives and four concubines, and he thinks that the Wang family is relatively peaceful. As far as I know, Cui Zhang's half-brothers are not in the capital, and the power in the uncle clan has been eaten away by Shuai Guo, and there is a strong uncle who has been in Longxi for many years, and the family business has also been taken over by Shuai Guo, no one cares, and even the government is unwilling to get involved in the internal affairs of the big family.
Wang Jia...... I don't dare to think about it. As long as it continues at the current frequency, such a thing is absolutely unavoidable. If you want to maintain an advantage externally, you must allow internal competition to a limited extent, and survival of the fittest is the key to ensuring the longevity of the ethnic group. It's all my own flesh and blood, who do I deliberately favor?
When he was drinking with Cui Zhang, he couldn't help but mention a remark, and as soon as he mentioned the troubles inside and outside the clan, Cui Zhang sighed and waved his hand again and again, and he didn't mention it.
I can't help but talk about things that I haven't mentioned after three rounds of drinking. Both of them are the heads of the family, the Wang family is still in its infancy, the Cui family has been through ups and downs for more than a hundred years, and Cui Zhang is more experienced, more emotional, and more sad, and there are more things. The elders pursued the expense of scattering leaves, but each generation of heads of the family came to power and began to pick leaves and prune first. Just like a gardener in a nursery, for experts, it is not necessarily good to have lush foliage, if you want to maintain the overall upward shape of the vegetation, you have to prune hard, no matter how deep the roots are, you can't waste nutrients on the oblique branches and leaves, and the so-called good steel is used on the blade.
"One person, one way, as long as it is good for the family, even if it is heavier when pruning, it is not too much." When Cui Chang said this, he kept smiling bitterly, and his smile was ugly, without the slightest demeanor of the past.
"What about family affection, for example? What do brothers and sisters, uncles, nephews, and brothers think? "As a clay leg nurtured by a big proletarian family like me, these things are most remembered in my heart. You can have no money and no power, but you always remember that there is a family with a wife, patting the soil, and children around you, calling your father and cousin cousin to bully a lonely classmate, or an elder who cares about you proudly, this is all happiness.
Cui Zhang was stunned for a long time, poured a full cup and didn't greet me, and drank it all. "Brother Zihao's question made the little brother ashamed! No one had ever asked the little brother that way, and the old brother was the first one. Small farmers can think about these things...... We also want to think about it, but ...... "Another glass of wine, the stomach suddenly returned to its previous demeanor, and smiled at me charmingly", there is always a time when Brother Zihao is drunk. At the end of the year, there are not many opportunities for the younger brother to win back a game of wine table, and he has to go out to publicize it. ”
"It's an overdose of the world's brothers! Hey, hey, haha......" gave Cui Zhang a thumbs up and praised each other. The nasty topic just now was left behind, as if drunk for a moment of self-talk.
Say goodbye after a full meal. Cui Zhang suddenly stopped me from behind and pretended to be drunk and said, "It's cold in high places." The person who said this was not really standing taller than others, but he felt cold first, and his heart was cold. He laughed twice. Win weakly and coquettishly drilled into Menghua's car and disappeared.
Last time I talked about cultivation with Lanling, and this time I talked about family affection with Cui Zhang, I think I found the wrong person. Talking about self-cultivation with the eldest princess is undoubtedly self-inflicted, and talking about family affection with one of the few wealthy leaders in the world...... But I don't think Choi Chang is as ruthless as he imagined, and he explained it to me in his way.
It's gratifying, at least I'm happier than Cui Chang now. The small sapling of the Wang family has not yet reached the point of pruning and pruning leaves. Jiujin ran back and forth with a desire for the New Year, and the second daughter still threw the third and fourth brothers around, and carefully nodded a no-spoke rouge to the girl's brow; The fourth and fourth are hesitating, and she can't go home in the New Year, her excuse is very sufficient, the Chen family has no money, and the housekeeper is a master of the blasting rod, and it is unacceptable for a New Year without a blasting rod.
Many excuses will not make Ying have pity, and the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month has already personally staked the fourth child and the New Year's gift prepared for the Chen family, and the three of them are actually looking forward to a New Year without the participation of the fourth child.
"When will the fourth aunt come back?" Jiujin has already listed the fourth child as a member of the Wang family. I don't understand my mother's motives for driving the fourth aunt away in a hurry, in his opinion, it is Sister Shangguan who should be driven away the most. Only I know the truth. Shangguan has a lot of gambling games in the year, and the girl is unwilling to get along with her parents at home. Thereupon...... It seems that the number of people has not changed.
"Give you a day off!" As soon as I came to Shangguan, I announced that I would not accept all questions and refuse to exchange ideas with underage girls.
"Uncle Wang, is there any news of Uncle Zheng?" Shangguan girl was not discouraged, and tried to talk to me while holding on to nine catties and not letting me go.
Uncle Zheng...... On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, a family was happy and happy for the New Year, and a war report from the north sent over. Uncle Zheng Hong, the idol in the minds of our new generation of God of War Shangguan Girl, the only legitimate heir of the Ashina family, made a surprise move.
No one expected that even Zheng Hong's two mentors who couldn't reach the end of the chicken and dog were shocked. The butcher's knife was not directed at the Turkic rebellion thousands of miles away, but at a Uighur tribe on the Hanhai Sea outside the Yin Mountains, which was separated between the rebels and the Tang Dynasty. The raid began at night, and under the heavy snow of more than a foot of snow, the large tribe of more than 60,000 people under the capture of 3,000 Turkic warriors led by Zheng Hong did not last until dawn. The military newspaper is very concise, rebellious, and stubborn.
There were no prisoners of war, as if there were no Uighur tribes, women and children, all of whom were strong men.
"No, why Liwei!" Old Man Cheng was surprised, and as soon as his strength passed, he immediately calmed down: "Three thousand against sixty thousand, one to cut twenty, it is not unusual, this method can only be adopted." ”
"It's too much of a rush to startle the snake!" Old Man Su is much more cautious, "This will only arouse the alarm of the surrounding aliens, he will not benefit at all except for some cattle and horses!" ”
"Alien rebellions can only be resolved in an alien way. Since Brother Zheng was sent over, the imperial court naturally recognized his methods. Qin Yu didn't feel much emotion, and brought his two students to respectfully worship Wang Xiu's father's spiritual throne in the new year, and reported his teaching results to my senior brother in detail.
Only Pei Xingjian affirmed Zheng Hong's surprise attack from the front. He has been in the north to understand the habits of foreign tribes, such things are commonplace outside the Yin Mountain, the rise and extinction of the tribe in an instant, either others kill or kill themselves, sometimes for women, sometimes for cattle and horses, sometimes for nothing, especially such a free tribe is the most unstable factor, and it is so close to Yinshan that it is a hidden danger if it is not completely removed.
There are not many tribes of this size, and what Pei Xingjian said is that there is no hidden danger in clearing one. First, to give him the official Khan Liwei to achieve the goal of integrating the surrounding tribes in the fastest time; The second is that Zheng Hong said by Lanling is testing the bottom line of the imperial court.
Slaughter an inconsequential clan to test the court's trust and tolerance for him. After all, the butcher's knife did not cut at the real enemy, and this Uighur tribe and the Tang Empire seemed to have a little to do with it. If the imperial court thinks that this move is too unrestrained, Zheng Hong will be reprimanded, and it will be a big deal to stay in Beijing and wait for his life. If the imperial court intends to indulge in turning a blind eye and pretending to be blind, then Zheng Hong can rest assured that he will carry out the next step.
It seems that the imperial court does intend to blind itself once, and it seems that everyone is busy with the New Year, and the life and death of 60,000 foreigners outside the Saiwai are not worth a pot of meat at home. Gifts, gifts, bribes, bribes, even if they are mentioned in front of the table and after the meal, this matter will naturally be pulled to eating and drinking, "Come on, brothers, bring up the wine glass, the days in Beijing are not as good as the nourishment outside the plug, General Ashina kills cattle and slaughters sheep for the New Year, Wu Lao Lingguan doesn't know who ordered beef, and they have been found on the door, this day is not as good as a day!" ”
The beef was sent by the Wang family, and the family livestock slaughtered seven cows in one go, pretending to be mutton for the New Year, and the old Wu Zui slandered after playing cards, and pulled half of the "sheep" back, and was reported......
Bacheng has something to do with the benevolent brother who persuaded the wine, picked up the wine glass and said: "Brother Ram, your lack of virtue has not been changed, it's not easy!" ”
Brother Ram is a bold man, "I can't change it, brothers, take more responsibility, treat more!" ”
