The candidate for the Admiral of the Navy Division was decided. This made the only stone left in Zhao Xing's heart fall to the ground, and he was in a good mood, so he called his second brother Xu Huang, Chen Gong, Gao Shun, Qin Yilu, Liu Jili and others to accompany him in the evening, and had a banquet with Mi Zhu in the house.

The servants in the house had sent Mi Zhu to the guest room to rest, and Zhao Xing was also dragged to the backyard by a pair of children.

Zhao Siyi, who was lively and cute, followed her mother, jumped to the gate of the courtyard where the fifth lady of the Taifu Mansion lived, and shouted loudly: "Mother, my father is drinking with my uncle again at night, hurry up and help him into the house!"

Zhao Siyi's shouting immediately alarmed the people in the house, and soon saw a beautiful woman in her early twenties, with two girls hurriedly rushing straight to the gate of the courtyard.

Zhao Zhenxuan, who was slightly older than Zhao Siyi, was taking a horse step at the moment, his face was flushed, and he was dragging one of his Lao Tzu's arms with both hands, trying to pull Zhao Xing up from the stone gate pier at the entrance of the small courtyard, and said: "Daddy, get up quickly, don't sit on the cold stone pier, if you catch a cold, my mother will definitely pull my ears!"

At this moment, I heard the woman who had already arrived say lovingly: "Cui'er and Ping'er, quickly helped Taifu into the house, look at him like this, he drank a lot tonight!"

The adults and children shouted and served Zhao Xing into the back room, and then the original quiet backyard was restored. The drunken Zhao Xing and Yi were lying on the bed, letting the two girls with quick hands and feet wipe his face and take off his shoes, and he didn't say much, just squinted his eyes and pretended to sleep. The two little Mrs. Mi, who had helped him into the house just now, were not in the house, and they didn't know where they went.

It turned out that at this moment, Mrs. Mi was taking her two children, and gathered at the gate of the courtyard with the fourth lady Zhang Xin and the sixth lady Xu Wanlin, who heard the sound, at the door to have a family meal.

Xu Wanlin, who looked worried, asked Mi Zhen: "Sister Mi, I haven't seen my husband drunk for a long time, but what did not go well today?"

Mi Zhen replied with a smile: "What's the matter, I heard Zhenxuan say that his father's eyebrows fluttered when he was drinking tonight, and he was very hearty, he should have encountered something happy." ”

Zhang Xin, who was on the side, heard this, and said thoughtfully: "Presumably, it must be the matter of forming a water division that has been settled, which made Guochang so relieved and drank a few more cups." It's night now, so let's not bother my sister and my husband whispering under the lamp, Sister Wanlin, let's go back to the house and listen to the spring breeze, hehe......

Zhang Xin made fun of Mi Zhen a few words meaningfully, and then went back to the house with Xu Wanlin giggling, and suddenly the backyard of the Zhao Mansion fell into a calm again.

Mi Zhen, who was teased by Zhang Xin for a while, turned back to the house and walked into the couch where Zhao Xing was lying, but saw Zhao Xing with a pair of eyes wide open, gurgling at the dragon and phoenix on the top of the bed tent with auspicious flower embroidery patterns, and I didn't know what he was thinking.

"It turned out that the husband was not drunk, but he caused the family to be busy for a while, and also alarmed the two sisters on the left and right!" Mi Zhen lay down on Zhao Xing's side, and gently pinched Zhao Xing's nose with two white and tender fingers, complaining about Zhao Xing with some disgust.

Zhao Xing naturally pulled out his left hand from Mi Zhen's arms, took his daughter-in-law in his arms, and then gently brushed Mi Zhen's left hand holding his nose to his chest with his right hand, held it with his hand, and then said thoughtfully: "I can hear clearly what your sisters are saying at the gate of the courtyard, and it is really a blessing for many generations of cultivation in my previous life to have a knowledgeable, virtuous and harmonious lover like you by my side." There is only one husband, and it is destined that there will always be a few sisters who are unaccompanied by the pillow every night, only worried that when you and I grow old in the future, everyone will fall into each other's hands for the future of their respective families and children, and even kill each other......"

Before Zhao Xing finished speaking, Mi Zhen had already taken out a small hand from Zhao Xing's right hand and gently covered Zhao Xing's mouth, preventing him from continuing to speak.

"Don't worry about this, husband. Our daughter's family was born in this troubled world, and her life was as thin as paper, and she was often given to her like a commodity. When the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, the slave family had heard my brother say that there was a place in Jizhou where the people were hungry and ate their children, but the best price of human flesh was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl. Although I have never seen it in person, every time I think about it, it is like falling into an ice cave. The slave family is compared with the daughter family who was eaten as a 'vegetable man', it is nothing more than being born in a rich family, if not, maybe they will be slaughtered. Mi Zhen used a somewhat faint and sad tone to tell Zhao Xing some words in her heart.

"At the beginning, when the slave family saw the poems sent by the Zhao Hu brothers when they went to visit their brother in the East China Sea and the pictures drawn by the scholars of the academy, they fell in love with each other, but it was just some careful thinking of the daughter's family. When I came to the party and saw with my own eyes that my husband was worried about saving his life everywhere when the plague came, I really believed that there was a great man in the world, and he didn't care about anything at that time and entered your study with a pillow, just wanting to stay with you for the rest of his life. Speaking of this, Mi Zhen's cheeks were a little red.

Zhao Xing just quietly listened to his wife tell him some intimate words, and did not interrupt. Over the years, he has often been busy outside, and it is very rare to be able to communicate with his wife so quietly.

Mi Zhen continued: "It is normal for the husband to worry that because of the competition for favor between our sisters, the competition for status between our children, and even for the sake of competing for the throne in the future, it is also human nature to secretly attack and even kill each other. After all, there are many examples of cannibalism and fathers and sons fighting against each other in the past dynasties. However, my sisters and I often talked about it in private, thinking that with the wisdom and open-mindedness of our husband, we would be able to eliminate this potential disaster. We have privately agreed that no matter which child your husband chooses to inherit your throne in the future, we will not participate in or interfere, and it is up to you to decide. ”

When Zhao Xing heard this, the corners of his eyes were a little moist, and he gently patted Mi Zhen's little hand, and said with emotion: "If you have a wife like this, what more can you ask for!" You can rest assured, my Zhao Xing's children are not all going to be emperors and princes, and they will see more clearly and clearly than the world about power and wealth, and they may be worried that the lonely chair will let them sit on it!"

Mi Zhen arched her head into Zhao Xing's arms, found a more comfortable posture and crouched beside Zhao Xing, and then said with longing and yearning: "Yes, I hope that Zhenshu will be able to be a knowledgeable bachelor in the future, with a broad mind and noble character, to educate our children and grandchildren, so that they only know how to indulge in materialism and pleasure, but forget their duty to be a human being." ”

The husband and wife snuggled up to each other like this, as if they had experienced the vicissitudes of life, watched the clouds and winds rise, and slowly poured out the feelings in their hearts in the quiet night......
