Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 545 The Call of Home
What Gong Zhiming is most happy about is that he finally has a trustworthy right-hand man. After all, how did he get here for the first time? Which of the military generals in the court has something to do with the anti-king, and which one is loyal, he also distinguishes martial arts.

After the beginning of spring, even if the two anti-kings did not send troops to attack, he had to attack first. After these two serious troubles were eliminated, he could fully control the government of Dai Viet, recuperate, and at least fill the stomachs of the people and save food reserves. .

The arrival of old General Chu and his son just saved him from the embarrassing act of leading troops out and leaving no one in court.

The Chu family is also a well-known family of generals, so the old man took his son directly to a school outside the capital.

The old general will go off in person once, the generals of the Chu family will go off once, and the soldiers of the Chu family will go off once.

Against Dai Viet's most elite Imperial Forest Army, two out of three games were a happy result.

After a few tables of good food and wine in the sky, after drinking a big bowl of wine, all the generals returned home drunk, and after that, at least on the surface, they were all amicable.

On this day, Gong Zhiming was discussing with Old General Chu how to prepare for the war in the new year, and before he knew it, it was already noon, and Lian Qiao brought out several bowls of noodles and two side dishes, which made Old General Chu laugh, "It's because of Miss Forsythia's skill that I, an old man, spend more time talking with the general."

Xu Shi is familiar with everyone around him, and Gong Zhiming rarely agrees, "This old general hurts my face. Great General Tang Tang is not as good as a bowl of noodles?"

Old General Chu laughed even harder, and shouted, "If the empress is in front of you, the general may not be as good as braised pork, sweet and sour fish..."

Lian Qiao also couldn't help laughing, and finally said with emotion, "The Chinese New Year will be the next day, and the island is probably busy right now, not to mention the benefits, Madam must rehearse a new show to show everyone the fun. I went to the island earlier I heard that the opera troupe in Quanzhou is also well-known in Quanzhou, and when I heard that Madam was recruiting people, I sharpened my head, and in the end I didn’t even want Yueyin, so I had to learn new operas from Madam.”

"The head of this theater troupe is a smart one. Who in this world doesn't know that Madam's new play is the best. In the past, in the capital, every time a new play was released in Liyuan, it wasn't empty."

Old General Chu saw that the corners of Gong Zhiming's mouth turned up slightly, and he also moved his chopsticks in his hand. Then he began to stir the seafood sauce on the noodles, and said, "It would be more appetizing if there were two pieces of sour bamboo shoots."

Forsythia was pouring tea trees, she wondered, "Is it delayed on the way, I figured out, Master's New Year's goods should have been delivered."

Before she could finish speaking, a guard had already reported outside the door, "Report to the general, Cheng Da is here."

"Didn't Cheng Guanshi go back to Quanzhou? Why did he come back?"

Old General Chu took a mouthful of seafood sauce, asked vaguely, but Lianxi said, "Master's New Year must have arrived."

Gong Zhiming put down the chopsticks in his hand, his eyes were also very bright, and he looked towards the gate of the palace.

Sure enough, Cheng Dayou walked in from the outside with a body full of dust. He knelt down and kowtowed as soon as he entered the door. folded back."

"Okay, get up, I've worked hard for you all the way."

Gong Zhiming couldn't help showing joy on his face, he raised his hand to help Cheng Dayou get up, and asked, "How is your master, is everything going well on the island?"

Cheng Dayou was a little embarrassed, after all, he had never been back to the island, but he was happy for his master, after such a long separation, the general still misses his master.

"Back to the general, although the slave has not returned to the island, he has seen the deputy Liu Wanshan who came out of the island. According to him, the master and the young masters are in good health, and the workshop is very busy, especially the second master and the master figured out A kind of mirror, very magical, has already been shipped to Kyoto. Liu Wanshan patted his chest and promised to sell the mirror for 500 taels of silver. In addition, the construction of the new city on the island has been halfway done. I brought my children here, and I am also a diligent person, so I immediately went to Xincheng to help. The young master, Master Bao and my eldest child are very sensible and often go to Xincheng to help. When the fleet came out, the island New Year's goods are being distributed, and every household is decorated with lanterns and festoons, which is very lively."

What he said was real and interesting, it made people feel like they were in it, and Lian Qiao yelled, "I don't know what delicious food the master cooks, if only I were on the island."

Gong Zhiming also nodded, with a hint of regret in his eyes.

Old General Chu gave Cheng Dayou a wink without a trace, and Cheng Dayou answered immediately, "I am waiting for Miss Lianqiao to ask, the master has sent several boats of New Year's goods, and one boat is prepared for the general alone. There are food and clothing expenses, and I need to trouble you to count and put them together.”

"Ah, that's great, General, I'm going now!"

Forsythia put down the teapot in her hand and ran away like the wind.

Second Chu also put down the chopsticks in his hand, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty must have sent a lot of delicious food. I don't want to eat the noodles either. I'll save my stomach and eat more good food and wine in the evening."

"You kid, you don't know what's good and what's wrong. Those refugees in the north of the city have just had a full stomach, yet you still dare to despise such good noodles."

Old General Chu raised his hand and patted his son's head, and finally frowned and said worriedly, "Hurry up and eat your fill, help dad think about it, and then talk to the general later, just stay for a while and finish the meal. "

The father and son joked so hard that everyone including Gong Zhiming couldn't help laughing.

"There's no need to think about excuses. There will be a banquet at night, and Lisian Qiao's craftsmanship is also [-]% true to Weier's."

Gong Zhiming was in a good mood, and he waved his hand ready to treat guests.

"That's good. There are a few good seedlings in the big camp outside the city. I'll bring them together for a meal and dinner. It also saves me money. I have to go to a restaurant to have a banquet."

Old General Chu was not polite, and he fought for the opportunity for his subordinates to eat.

Gong Zhiming understood the old man's deep meaning, and said with a smile, "Cheng Guanshi said that there is a whole boatload of new year's goods, why don't we open a few more tables, and all the civil and military cabinets are invited to the banquet, and we will seal the pen tomorrow if there is nothing to do."

Everyone hurriedly responded, and Old General Chu even smiled, "Those old fellows still envy me for eating the General's food all day long, and this time I will also let them have a good time."

After chatting for a while, Lianqiao ran back with her face flushed with excitement.

Followed by four young eunuchs, carrying two boxes. ,

"General, the master has arranged a lot of clothes for you, as well as a variety of food, which is enough for you to have a good year."

After finishing speaking, she took out a small palm-sized mirror from her bosom, and said, "This is the mirror that the master gave me. Look at it, it really shines so clearly."

Gong Zhiming took the mirror, and was really surprised by the clarity and brightness of the mirror, so he said with a smile, "Your master has found another good way of making money. I'm afraid this mirror will drive all the women in the world crazy."

Old General Chu was curious, so he also went over to have a look, and nodded repeatedly, "Sometimes I feel that the Empress is the God of Wealth descending to earth, not to mention the mirror, the originally barren and inhabited island is now turned into a treasure by the Empress. island."

Lianqiao was afraid that the old man would break her precious mirror, so she quickly took out another envelope and handed it over, "Old general, the old lady from Quanzhou also brought you and the second young master some new year's goods. This letter is from three people on the island. The general specifically ordered it to be brought, and I saw that it was painted with urgent wax, so I sent it to you first."

Old General Chu is old and smart, how could he not know that this girl is Jingui's mirror, so he said with a smile, "You weird girl, give you this baby bump." As he spoke, he took the envelope, and Seeing that the emergency wax was sealed on the top, I was really taken aback.

So I quickly opened the letter to read it, because it was sent from the island by Chu Laosan, everyone was a little worried, for fear that something would happen on the island.

As a result, Old General Chu became more and more happy the more he watched, and finally laughed, "Haha, what a boy, what a boy!"

Gong Zhiming couldn't bear it anymore and said, "But something happened on the island?"

Old General Chu shook his head, "General, there is a happy event on the island. That worthless boy in my family asked to marry the girl Danggui who is next to my mother. He sent a letter begging me to come forward to propose marriage."

"This is a great joy! Miss Danggui has learned a lot of skills by following the master."

Cheng Dayou was the first to congratulate, but Lianqiao wrinkled her nose and said angrily, "Sister Danggui was coaxed away by the three generals. When I left, I told Sister Danggui to stretch for two more years."

When Old General Chu heard this, he was afraid that something might go wrong between his son and daughter-in-law, so he hurriedly defended him and said, "Miss Lianqiao, this is wrong, Miss Danggui is a year older than you. Doctor Xiao Zhou treats you very well." If you take good care of him, don't you want to stretch him for two years?"

"Oh, how did the old general come to me? I don't care, I'm going to pack my things!"

Lianqiao blushed when she was told, stomped her feet and ran out.

Gong Zhiming anxiously checked what his wife had given him, and said, "Old General, go back and rest, don't forget to come to the banquet tonight."

"Don't worry, General, I won't forget!"

The father and son of the Chu family also wanted to go back to see what new year goods they brought home, so everyone dispersed quickly.

Gong Zhiming kicked out the eunuch and maid, and slowly opened the box alone.

A suitcase is full of clothing items, such as fur-studded cloaks, cotton robes, down trousers and jackets, trail cotton boots, leather boots, belts, purses, socks, and even hosta hairpins. Several kinds.

Gong Zhiming stretched out his hand to touch everything, his heart became very warm, and his nose began to turn sore.Others don't know it, but he knows it well. Although his beautiful wife is extremely intelligent, but the female celebrity is very ordinary.Although not all of these stitches are her handiwork, there are more or less two or three places on each piece that she moved.

The scene of her sewing these clothes by candlelight, listening to the sound of the waves outside the window, couldn't help flashing in his mind, the guilt in his heart gushed out like a spring.

Although she never said it, and even tried her best to support him to conquer the world, she probably hoped that he could die safely on the island with her.

But as a man, his ambition can't be locked, what's more, after the foundation has been dug, he is more eager to lay the foundation again, so that she can proudly say to the world that she is Gong Zhiming's woman, she is The most noble woman in the world...
