Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 166 Yes, It's Getting Windy
Dongcheng Camp,

Outside the coach's tent,
Wrapped in a cloak, Yang Hanyu said stubbornly;
"The concubine is not sleepy, um, I'll take a sleep here after I finish my meal and get busy with business."

Yang Hanyu said softly, and handed over the twisted brocade cloth, with curiosity in her winking eyes, she asked;
"Master Hou, I saw a lot of boxes of books in the camp. Do you still read books?"

Zhang Jinyu nodded and said;

"Well, when I'm done with work and I have nothing to do, I'll stay in the tent and read some books. If you don't go back, you can do whatever you want. Don't go to the school grounds or the sergeant's resting place."

"Then what would you like to eat when you come back at noon?"

Yang Hanyu asked in a pretty voice.

Zhang Jinyu paused and said;

"It's as simple as it gets, and you don't need to work hard. If you can't, you can buy a few bowls of noodle soup and snacks from the market outside."

This is what Zhang Jinyu originally meant, you can eat whatever you want, basically eating big pot dishes with soldiers, but seeing Yang Hanyu, a delicate woman, she shook her head, thinking it was not appropriate, so she changed the term.

Yang Hanyu heard the words, glanced at Zhang Jinyu, and said nothing more, but it was the turn of the two girls at noon.

At this time, the morning drills in the barracks were coming to an end, and the soldiers from various ministries began to go back to wash and wait for dinner.

Zhang Jinyu also put down the brocade cloth, took Yang Hanyu back to the tent, and started to eat without pretending, Yang naturally accompanied him to eat a little.

The place where Zhang Jinyu lives is naturally not like in a mansion. It is a simple camp tent, with two tables, a few chairs, and a bed. Because of fear of smell, he didn't even allow the charcoal stove to be turned on.

Looking at Yang Shi who is like a little daughter-in-law, Zhang Jinyu asked without putting pressure on her;
"How does it feel to be here?"

"My husband and mother are good people, and my concubine is very contented."

Zhang Jinyu finished eating a steamed stuffed bun and said vaguely;
"That's good. If you have nothing to do, read more books. Learn to read and write. Reading can help you understand things. At least you don't want to be blind. Therefore, when a woman is educated, she will have spirit and be more beautiful."

As the saying goes,
Don't smile with white hair wearing flowers, years have never defeated a beauty.

If there are poems and books hidden in the heart, the youth will come true.

In the past dynasties, there has been a thriving ethos in which women are virtuous without talent.

But when Dawu was in power, women gradually became more learned, not as rigid as the previous dynasty, and the learned woman's temperament lasted forever.

In the Grand View Garden, those women with good color, if their mouths are as mean as a knife, who can bear it, and besides, flowers have a re-blooming day, and people have no time to see each other for the first time.

Be honest and beautiful, and be cautious in the end.

As Jia Baoyu said in the records of the Red Chamber, some women were peerless jewels before they left the court, but when they got married, although they were still jewels, they did not have the dazzling jewel light, and became a dead thing without color .

But since ancient times, no one has said what to do about this matter, how to solve it?

Perhaps these women have not changed, what has changed is the morals of the world, the husband's family is the burden of the children, the youth before the age of 20, having children, old age and fading, what can I do?

Yang Hanyu's eyes blurred after hearing this, and her warm red lips are still repeating that if there are poems and books hidden in her heart, time will never defeat a beauty,
"My husband is really good. I have never heard such words before. The demeanor of a Confucian general is so acquired. No wonder your subordinates are willing to die for you. There must be a reason."

While talking, Yang Hanyu suddenly got up and hugged Zhang Jinyu and whispered in his ear;
"Husband, I am waiting for you."

Then he let go of his hand and went back to his chair to continue eating, if it wasn't for the blushing of his ears, he would have thought that it was just Chunmeng Wuhen.

Zhang Jinyu also smiled knowingly, and after eating, she really took out a thousand-character text of enlightenment and handed it over.

"You also know how to read, but you still need to learn more. After learning, you must recognize them all. A few words a day will be enough after a year."

As the saying goes, hills and mountains become high when they are low, and rivers and rivers become large when combined with water.

Zhang Jinyu still has great expectations for Yang Hanyu, reading and writing to pass the time, it would be even better if she could compose lyrics and poems, divert her attention, and have less gossip in the backyard, this woman is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

In addition, handmade female celebrities can also learn more, and they can try anything.

Yang Hanyu took the Thousand-Character Essay and held it in her arms. Looking at the serious look under the sword eyebrows, she was a little embarrassed for a while, but there was always a lot of warmth in her heart, and there was also love.

"My concubine knows."

Zhang Jinyu looked at the somewhat unnatural Yang Shi, then glanced at the porridge that was about to get cold, patted his forehead, and said with a smile;

"Blame me, say this, hurry up, eat, it's cold."

"Well, let's eat."

After speaking, he took a small bite, still so elegant.

Zhang Jinyu shook her head when she saw it,
"I don't have so many rules, I can eat whatever I want."

Yang Hanyu whispered;

"I'm used to it in the palace. Besides, my lord, a concubine should always be decent."

Zhang Jinyu put down the bowl and chopsticks after finishing the porridge, and said softly;

"That's in front of outsiders. Besides, human dignity doesn't lie in this."

Zhang Jinyu wiped her mouth, peeled the still warm egg and put it in Yang's hands,
"Don't treat yourself badly, it's still hot, let's eat."

Yang Hanyu suddenly seemed to understand something, and smiled sweetly, her demeanor at that moment was peerless and independent.

"Husband, don't worry, Hanyu knows."

After taking a bite, it turned out to be so delicious that a tear still flowed down and I wiped it away with my hand.

Zhang Jinyu changed into a strong outfit and went out.

The maid Huo'er suddenly said after seeing Lord Hou leave;

"Master, I did not expect to find a true god, it is very kind to you."

"Yeah, I didn't expect that coming here today would be the happiest day of my life. Come sit down and eat together. Your husband is right. How can you be so disciplined? Just be happy when no one is around."

"This, this is not good."

"What nonsense, sit down."

Zhang Jinyu led his guards around the camp, then returned to the big tent, took out a copy of "The Analects of Confucius and Poetry" from the bookcase, and read it.

Yang Hanyu cleaned up after eating, boiled a pot of water and made a pot of tea, and brought them over.

Seeing that Zhang Jinyu was really sitting in the main seat, reading a book as if no one else was around, he didn't dare to disturb him, and quietly poured a cup of tea and put it on the table.

Yang Hanyu looked at the thousand-character text for a while, and became a little absent-minded, and then thought of the northwest of Dawu, where there is an undercurrent, like a suppressed magma that can erupt at any time, and then I don't know how many people will die for it.

I have to ask,
"How does Mr. Lang look at Dawu? I once heard from the doctor in the palace that although Dawu is in its heyday, the dangers have already become prominent. If foreign races are moving south in large numbers, there may be worries for the country."

Zhang Jinyu put down the book when she heard this, and looked up at the beauty not far away. How could she talk about this state affairs? A woman still understands this.

"You still understand this. Although what those doctors said is reasonable, it is not a concern for me."

When Yang Hanyu saw her husband so calm and relaxed, she suddenly felt relieved. It was far from the way she sighed when she heard those doctors discussing the country and the people.

Out of curiosity, he asked,
"Lang Jun, what do you mean by this?"

Zhang Jinyu smiled confidently, looked at the foreign beauty with pale skin and said;
"It's very simple. There are only two routes for foreigners to invade the Central Plains. They are the two lines of defense in the north. One is outside the pass, and the other is the northwest. Needless to say, outside the pass, everything will be safe with me. In the northwest, there is the king of Xiping County. , His strength is unquestionable."

Yang Hanyu understood very clearly, and understood the meaning of the words, as long as these two people are not in chaos, then foreigners cannot enter the Central Plains, which seems to be right.

Zhang Jinyu looked at Yang who suddenly realized something, and said with a smile,
"You, don't think about these court matters. It's useless. Besides, the foreign races will be wiped out if they really come in. The most difficult thing to solve in Dawuguan is those noble families."

Yang Hanyu remained silent.

At this time, the sky outside suddenly turned gloomy, and it seemed that it was going to snow. In the company of the beauties in the tent, reading and tasting tea was also a great joy in life.

But the world is impermanent, suddenly the voice of the guard came from outside the tent;

"Report, Lord Hou, there is a messenger from the imperial court."

"what's up?"

"Master Hou, there is a letter from the palace that all civil and military officials will go to the Qing Palace tomorrow."

"Understood, let's go down."

"It's Lord Hou."

Seeing the somewhat helpless Zhang Jinyu and Yang Hanyu laughing out loud, Zhang Jinyu said unhappily;
"What are you laughing at, pack up your things and go home."

"Yes, sir."

Ouchi,

Wu Huang, who watched the drill all morning, finally turned back to the palace. Wu Huang thought a lot about it, and really wanted to gather all the military power under his command.

But he secretly vetoed it. When the military power was gathered, he still needed a general to lead the army. Who was his confidant? If there were too many soldiers, how could he guarantee that he would not be the next Western King or the next Southern King.

It still depends on people's hearts, all the courtiers have people's hearts towards the court, where there will be today's troubles, the imperial examinations still have to work hard, but the family is entrenched in the place, and there are many misbehaviors.

Those local officials who are in charge of one side don't do anything, have they read the sages and sages into the dog's stomach?

Emperor Wu narrowed his eyes slightly, still asking on the way;
"Dai Quan, have all the messengers left?"

"Return to Your Majesty, everyone has gone out to send messages, and there will be no one left behind in the grand court meeting tomorrow."

"That's good. It's been more than a month since I went to court. Let's see what the courtiers are busy with."

Emperor Wu said calmly, he couldn't hear the tone of the speech, and Dai Quan could only be careful with him.

It is better to start with the water transport first, and then the salt industry in Jiangnan. Shen Xueshi has initially won the governor of the water transport and the rights in the middle of the river, and he must be close to controlling all the guards, but Jiangnan.

Thinking of the Wu Emperor Zhou Shihong, he was also worried. The honorable families in Jinling City are intertwined with each other, and the salt industry is very involved. I don’t know what happened to Lin Ruhai, the inspector of the salt censor. Thinking of the secret guards who have assassinated Lin Ruhai many times, I am also worried. its safety.

Do you want to disturb Jiangnan?
Then who is suitable to go, those people in the frontier army, absolutely not, Xungui has left side houses in Jinling.

Or other confidantes, have no right and no reason.

Suddenly I thought of Luo Yunhou, and remembered Luo Yunhou's mother, the Jinling Wang family.

The Wang family still has unresolved old grudges, and the Jiangnan Jia family's partial house is not easy to move. Thinking that the Emperor Wu seemed to have an idea, he saw Dai Quan and asked;

"What is the old man busy with?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, all the ministries are reviewing the account books of each ministry, and the year is approaching and they are very busy."

"That's good, it's cloudy today."

Standing on the attic, Emperor Wu looked up at the gloomy sky in the distance. The thick cloud seemed to overwhelm the sky, and the wind blowing in front of him was even colder, blowing Emperor Wu's robe, Dai Quan saw I quickly pressed it down,
"Your Majesty, it's windy, let's go back to the palace quickly."

"Yes, it's windy."
