Volume 1 Chongyang and Chongyang Chapter 18 "Heroes of the Rivers and Lakes"

"Miss, what's wrong?" Miss Wang is probably impatient. The maid said weakly.

Cao Jingluo looked at the next door blankly, the person just now, the side face was really familiar, and she didn't dare to believe that it was really him.

How could it be so coincidental?

"Xiaohuan, did you see the three people who walked into the door next door?" Cao Jingluo asked softly.

She is slim and elegant, with a full waist and a good face, not a melon seed face and a goose egg face, but she is good-looking and durable, and the more she looks at it, the more she loves it.

The tip of Xiaohuan's nose moved: "At a glance, Xiaohuan didn't notice anything unusual!"

"If you think about it carefully, does that man look like ......?"

"Oh, if you look at the side face, it does look like Zhao Gouchen hanging in the room!" Xiaohuan shouted in surprise.

Cao Jingluo's face instantly turned crimson, and in broad daylight, he asked the personal maid to call out that his boudoir was hung with a sideways painting of General Cice, which was really ashamed: "Xiaohuan, are you quiet, what are you doing in shock?"

"Miss, hearing you say this, Xiaohuan feels that his side face really looks like General Zhao!" Xiaohuan lowered his voice, like a thief.

Cao Jingluo took a long breath, patted his chest, and beckoned his own coachman who was waiting on the side of the street to come over, and the two entered the carriage and slowly drove towards Miss Wang.

"Miss has a deep affection for General Zhao, if General Zhao knows, she won't be happy to die?!"

In the carriage, Xiaohuan quipped.

Cao Jingluo finally suppressed the shyness, and then plated his cheeks, and even his snow-white neck was soaked red: "What are you talking nonsense, General Zhao is really a good man and husband of the first class in Daxia, and I don't know how many girls in the world admire it, I ...... I'm insignificant. ”

I recall that in the boudoir, there is a heroic posture of Zhao Gouchen staring sideways at the battlefield, with a ghost mask in his hand, it seems that thousands of troops and horses are just chickens and dogs in his eyes, such a heroic posture has long been stationed in Cao Jingluo's heart, but she has no chance to get General Zhao's side, and she is also afraid of meeting General Zhao, I don't know what kind of etiquette to perform when the time comes? What words to say? Will General Zhao think she is a girl?

"Miss, you really look down on yourself, no matter what, you are also the daughter of the current imperial court!"

......

The furniture in the new house is short, and a lark has already gone to order it from the craftsman.

Zhao Que instructed in advance, no matter the price, as long as the aunt can live comfortably here.

After seven years of fighting, his own salary and silver have been accumulated, which is also a large amount, and the imperial court has always been very generous to senior generals, and there is a lot of comfort during the New Year's holidays, although Zhao Que took out a part of the reward to the soldiers, he did not want to enjoy it, and returned to Qingcheng, carrying enough money to be comparable to the middle and lower class rich merchants.

Zhao Ya walked in and out, watching the future residence, she is very fond of the small garden, planted a lot of flowers, the season is a little yellow, and the spring of the next year, the spring of the year after that, as long as she lives, the scenery that is not visible now must appear one by one.

Li Mujin pulled Zhao Que to the side and asked quietly: "The woman of Fang Cai seems to be the daughter of Cao Shangshu of the household department. ”

When Zhao Que saw her, he also felt that the woman was the daughter of the head of the household.

Cao Jingluo is a celebrity in Beijing, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all connected, just by virtue of this, the women in the capital grab a handful, Cao Jingluo is the most commendable is unforgettable, she has never practiced martial arts but knows a lot of martial arts classics, there are people in the rivers and lakes, who marry her, it is equivalent to marrying half of the world's arsenal.

"Cao Shangshu is an upright person, and he is considered a clear stream among the high-ranking officials of the imperial court, but the officials under his command are making waves in the 'money and grain warehouse' of the household department...... Li Mujin commented.

She had a worse impression of what she experienced in Zang's pharmacy and Hubu. However, for the "God of Wealth" of the Great Xia Dynasty, he is still willing to say a few good words.

Zhao Que said with a smile: "Cao Shangshu is thinking about self-preservation, I don't care if I'm not greedy and I don't care if you are greedy, so his reputation is so good in the imperial court, and the scholars in the entire capital are bragging to him." ”

"I asked the lark to check why Cao Meridian is in Bluestone City?"

"Well, check, the woman we saw was better than her. ”

Li Mujin covered her mouth and snickered, she heard that Cao Jingluo admired Zhao Gou Chen for a long time, there was a painter who went to Xisai to paint, risked to the battlefield, saw Zhao Gou Chen lead the troops to fight, the painting was moved, it took a full three months, countless waste paper, before Zhao Gou Chen Yingwu majestic posture "copied" on the painting paper, later, Cao Jingluo heard about the painter's wonderful work, and Jinghua's eldest ladies had a silver battle, and successfully put the painting into the boudoir.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhao Que asked with a sigh.

Li Mujin said: "I remembered some gossip. ”

"Since it's gossip, you don't have to take it seriously. ”

"Hibiscus knows. ”

She blew her whistle, and the nearby lark came to her side after a while, and ordered to investigate whether the woman was Cao Jingluo, and Li Mujin hurriedly went to find Zhao Que, who accompanied her aunt to enjoy the flowers.

There is no furniture in the house, which does not prevent Zhao Ya from being satisfied with the overall environment, the house enters the courtyard twice, there is a small back garden and a small puddle, the puddle has long been placed into a small pool, the water is clear, the koi are three or four tails, and the small rockery next to it puts some bait, sprinkle a little, the koi fish compete to devour, hungry.

Zhao Ya is more satisfied with the back garden, which is not big, but warm.

After the inspection, Zhao Ya, who was about to recover, was in a great mood, and obviously felt that her steps were much easier when she went home.

In the local culture, buying a house for the elders is also a form of filial piety.

Zhao Ya, who has long been in the local customs, Zhao Que can buy such a mansion for her, which is very satisfying.

Although she doesn't value it, as the head of the hundred generals of the Great Xia Dynasty, isn't it right to be filial to her aunt who is both a father and a mother?

On the way, Zhao Ya asked Zhao Que about the weight of the auxiliary generals at the moment.

Zhao Que said it before, and when he saw that his aunt was on the rise, he continued to explain.

"There are three words in the name, but there is no power of the commander of the three armies, more like the one who gave me the posthumous title of the Jinluan Palace, as for the word auxiliary country, it seems to be infinitely beautiful, in fact, it is useless, I now have no military power in my hands, and I can't move any soldiers and horses, to put it bluntly, Que'er is a symbol, it is the court's commendation of Que'er's achievements in Xisai, and it shows other generals that the court will not treat any meritorious minister badly, so that the generals continue to work hard for Daxia, and they are afraid of Que'er's domination, and the province is not big, even the cabinet, Liuqing didn't pay attention to it. ”

Hearing the posthumous seal, Zhao Ya sank her face, and from the newspapers of the official mansion over the years, it seems that Zhao Gouchen's military exploits in Xisai are not insignificant, and he has taken a back seat, and the imperial court has actually risen and degraded, which is simply ungrateful!

"Of course, I took the initiative to take a back seat. ”

Zhao Que hadn't explained this matter to Zhao Ya yet, she asked in wonder, and secretly planned that if Zhao Que just wanted to go home to see her, she would have to scold him for being a bloody dog.

Scholars say that they are not related to the poor and the lowly, and they do not learn from the rich, but Zhao Que has a heavier burden, how can he give up the good situation for his own selfishness!

Zhao Que deliberately did not mention that he was eaten by the Eight-Phase Dragon Python, and said: "Auntie doesn't know, Que Er has more important things to do at the moment, and she really can't be trapped in Xisai, and the vitality of the Hanshan Kingdom is greatly damaged, and this is not the best time to attack, so it is a good time for me to take a back seat." ”

Zhao Ya nodded, which also reflected what he said about not staying in Qingshi for long.

"Wasn't the Hanshan Dynasty beaten by the Western Cypriot Army led by you?"

"Militarily, although Hanshan has temporarily fallen into the downwind and only defended but not attacked, but if it is united and rashly attacked, it will definitely lead to the death resistance of all the people of the Hanshan Dynasty, and it is really difficult to resist with the military strength of Xisai. Zhao Que told the truth.

Lin Xianlu's precious grandson, the champion Hou Lin Chaotian, took over the Xisai military, and it was not because the Lin family let him sit back and enjoy his success.

Lin Chaotian is two years younger than Zhao Que, he is a champion at a young age, and he is notoriously timid and afraid of indulging in wine in the north where he served, and he can become such a noble marquis, the Lin family's power in the court can be seen.

Chatting all the way home, Zhao Ya is more familiar with the Xisai Army, earlier because Zhao Que went to Xisai to serve in the army, she was particularly concerned about the Di Bao from Xisai, and after a long time, she found out some real situations, this time Zhao Que explained, he was still strange and suddenly became clear, and sighed, even in the army, the conspiracy and conspiracy will be ruthless to their own people.

"I still have a golden seal and purple ribbon, and I have the power to say things in the court, and there are people in the court who are willing to say a few good words for me! ”

Zhao Yawan smiled.

A smile is born.

If she follows the original trajectory of her life, she will definitely be richly dressed and magnificent.

Corner.

Zhao Que and Li Mujin suddenly narrowed their eyes.

Come closer.

One of the larks guarding the house was wounded and fought with the four of them.

are all masters, three Yanhua are in the lower realm, and one is in the upper realm.

Zhao Que glanced at the alley, and there was a martial artist with a high level of dignity hidden inside.

For Bluestone City, such a martial arts lineup can be called luxurious.

The bluestone old man who drank all the romance, seeing this, can't be scared to pee his pants?

Seeing the three people, the four people who were fighting with the lark, retreated to a safe position and looked at them.

The lark was Yan Hua's lower realm, and the injuries were not serious, and there were sword wounds on the left arm and right leg, and the flesh was overturned, and the blood was dripping down the clothes to the ground.

"Zhao Que, someone spent a price that we couldn't refuse to buy your head!"

Four people were masked.

Don't want other people to see their faces.

"Do you know who I am?" Zhao Que asked strangely.

"Hmph, what's the difference between knowing and not knowing?" one of them said.

"It seems like a lot of money. ”

Although I don't know who invited the martial arts, it doesn't prevent the investigation after killing them.

The fifteen larks he brought to Bluestone City were inferior in force in the lark organization, they were ordinary larks, called Copper Feather, and the elite silver feathers and golden feathers of the larks were all sent by him to more important places, and even if he didn't participate, some things had to exert influence.

The four of them had fierce eyes, weapons with knives and swords, and put on an endless posture, looking like they were going to do it if they didn't agree with each other, although they had long regarded Zhao Que as a money bag, killed him, and became rich and noble, and decided that Zhao Que was a dead man.

"The three of you are dead, fulfill our hundreds of people, Zhao Que! I don't care how big your background is, how much turmoil you have caused in Bluestone City, you can do such a great good deed to the end, and lend us the head to use!"

After that, there are dense people running out of the nearby alleys and alleys, and after a rough count, there are really 100 "heroes in the rivers and lakes"!
