from widow to dame

Chapter 91

"Shibo is too famous." Yan Hongzhen clasped his fists and smiled, with an indescribably high spirit.

Jiang Bin shook his head, watching the flash of thought in his eyes very quickly, and when he opened his mouth to say something, a white horse drove into Zhuangzi, and a man with the appearance of an eunuch sat on it.

"Master Jiang, the miscellaneous family found you." The eunuch wiped the sweat from his brow and said out of breath.

"It turned out to be Eunuch De." Jiang Bin took two steps forward, clasped his fists and said, "But the Emperor has something to do with me?"

"That's right, Mr. Jiang quickly follow the miscellaneous family into the palace!"

It seemed that there was indeed something important to do. Jiang Bin didn't dare to delay to say hello to Huo Gang. He jumped on his horse, and the group of people turned around and went down the mountain. Seeing their disappearing backs, Huo Gang suddenly cracked his lips and smiled. Said mockingly: "Sure enough, let me guess right, let's see what the old emperor will do now?"

Yan Hongzhen turned his head and blinked with some doubts.

Huo Gang didn't sell the lawsuit, and said directly: "Our cavalry team was intercepted in the north a month ago. Guess who did it?"

How clever Yan Hongzhen was, he turned his head and opened his mouth and said, "Tartar?"

Huo Gang sneered.

However, Yan Hongzhen knew that since Huo's family was in trouble, Huo Gang quit his official career and started a "transportation industry". However, it is rich in medicinal materials such as ginseng, snow lotus, safflower, etc. Huo Gang made huge profits through this back and forth trading, so he was extremely well informed.

"It's winter now, and the water, ice and weeds are dead. The Tartars must have a hard time. It's a strange thing if they don't come to rob them!"

Yan Hongzhen's eyes flickered slightly when he heard the words, but after a long while, he suddenly sighed and resumed his usual smile: "The tartars are willing to kill and rob, that's what the emperor should worry about, what does it have to do with us, uncle , don’t you want to change the subject, tell me how things are going, I have spent all my money for this Pushan, so I can’t do it or not, right?”

"You're the cunning boy!" Huo Gang scolded with a smile: "Don't worry, no one will dare to embarrass you if you put Jiang Bin's relationship on it, just go ahead and make troubles boldly. Uncle has a hunch that this time you are going to Make a fortune!"

"It's all the wisdom of your niece and daughter-in-law!" Yan Hongzhen narrowed his eyes with a smile.

Not to mention that the nephew and uncle started to think about something here again, but Jiang Bin, who returned to the capital quickly, was the commander of Jinyiwei, a confidant of the emperor, and he entered without any notification "Hall of Xuanhe".

"Aiqing is here?" Zhu Chongguo's weak voice came from under the curtains.

"Your Majesty, don't talk yet, it's important to drink the medicine quickly!" A woman's voice came from the curtain again.

"Concubine Li, go first!" Zhu Chongguo coughed twice.

Jiang Bin bowed his head and stood solemnly, but after seeing for a while, a corner of the red dress swayed beside him, and with a soft slap, the door of Xuanhe Hall was closed again.

"Your Majesty, you have worked hard!" As soon as Concubine Li came out, a delicate court lady in green dress came to worship her.

"Hmm..." Concubine Li replied casually, with a look of obvious concern.

Taking advantage of her inattention, the green lady quickly glanced in the direction of the gate, as if she wanted to see His Majesty the Emperor inside, what happened at this time?

"Why are you leaving in a daze!" Li Fei cried impatiently.

"Your servant obeys!" The green-clothed maid stepped forward to support her master with a low eyebrow.

If Su Huiniang was here at this moment, she would definitely recognize that this green-clothed girl is none other than Lu Chu who was sent into the palace by her hand.

Just as the master and servant were walking back with their own concerns, Zhu Chongguo was also talking to his confidant in Xuanhe Hall.

"Your Majesty's cold legs have reappeared?" Jiang Bin looked at the emperor who was half resting on a soft pillow and his knees were wrapped in thick cotton wool, and asked with concern.

"When people are old, they should suffer!" Zhu Chongguo sighed, looking a little bit dispirited.

Jiang Bin knew that His Majesty's cold legs were extremely severe, and every winter when he got sick, he would be in excruciating pain. When it was severe, he couldn't even get out of bed like now.

"Has your majesty passed on the imperial physician?"

"Isn't it just nursing, those words about nursing are nonsense, a bunch of quack doctors." Zhu Chongguo waved his hand, and coughed a few times hastily.

Jiang Bin looked at the weak master in front of him, and suddenly felt a sense of emotion in his heart, His Majesty, he is really old.

"Your Majesty, there is a Pu Mountain a few dozen miles north of the capital. Hot springs have been found on that mountain recently. You may wish to try it. It may relieve the pain in your legs!"

"Oh? And this?" Zhu Guozhong's eyes lit up slightly when he heard that, he was really tortured by the leg disease, even if it could relieve some pain, he was willing to try it.But obviously, calling Jiang Bin over in such a hurry was not just for chatting.

"Look at this!" Zhu Chongguo casually threw over a secret booklet.

Jiang Bin opened his eyes wide and looked at ten lines at a glance.

"What, the Tartars burned, killed and looted at the border, and now they have slaughtered three whole villages?" His face changed suddenly, and he said angrily, "Your Majesty, what's going on here, where are the border soldiers? What are they doing for food? The Tartars killed so many of my people in Darui?"

Zhu Chongguo sneered, his face was also very dark.

"The governor Zhu Biao is at a disadvantage. I have ordered him to go to Beijing immediately to plead guilty. Aiqing, who do you think can take his place? Guard the border for me, drive out the Tartars, and protect the peace of Darui?"

After hearing this, Jiang Bin thought, since the "Chongyang Assassination" case, His Majesty basically killed all the generals in the army. It turned out that General Cai Yi was guarding the Yanmen Pass. Great, because he is there, the border is stable, and the Tartars outside dare not move rashly.But now it is different. After beating Cai Yi and being executed for "rebellion", Zhu Chongguo handed over Yanmen Pass to his nephew, Zhu Biao, king of Guangping County. , the Tartars became increasingly arrogant, and Yanmen Pass was already in an unstable situation.But the embarrassment now is that you have killed all those who can fight for you. The current generals have never experienced bloody storms. Can they stop the tiger-like Tartars?
So Jiang Bin was silent.

Zhu Chongguo glanced at him lightly, just that one glance, sweat dripped from Jiang Bin's forehead, which showed how much he was afraid of the person in front of him in his heart.

"Okay, I have made up my mind, so I will send Flying Tiger General Wang Guang to lead [-] troops to Yanmen Pass to help." Zhu Chongguo said, "Jinyiwei must fully cooperate with this operation, and there will be no mistakes, understand?" Jin Yiwei has done a good job of espionage.

"I obey!" Jiang Bin bowed his head.

Zhu Chongguo rubbed his throbbing legs, and sighed in his heart: Is it true that I am wrong?

Yan Mansion, Su Huiniang's place.At this moment, she was leaning on the couch and doing embroidery work. It was a small dress made of light blue material, and it was already half-made. Mu Xiang was also sitting beside her, saying some interesting words to amuse the master. happy.At this moment, Yan Hongzhen lifted the curtain and walked in. He was wearing a navy blue padded robe, and snowflakes were still stuck to his black riding boots. When Su Huiniang saw it, she put down her work and wanted to get up, but was walked over in two or three steps. Yan Hongzhen pressed it down.

"Sit down, sister Hui, why are you being polite to me?" Yan Hongzhen said with a playful smile.

Su Huiniang rolled his eyes at him, and ordered: "Go and make a pot of hot tea for the master."

Mu Xiang obeyed the order and went out to do it herself.Su Huiniang and Yan Hongzhen sat side by side.

"Make clothes for him again? How many pieces are there? Sister Hui doesn't bother you!" Yan Hongzhen rolled his eyes eagerly looking at the delicate and delicate clothes in Su Huiniang's hands.

Su Huiniang has her own way of dealing with her husband's habit of eating from time to time. She didn't know where to take out a pair of shoes, and said softly: "During the festival last year, there was a pair of shoes in the annual gift from my uncle. Deerskin, I cut off a piece and made you a pair of shoes, try it quickly, does it fit?"

Yan Hongzhen immediately became happy when he heard this, but he still said: "Why did you only make a pair of shoes, and the rest of the leather, did Sister Hui keep it for him?" After speaking, his eyes were suspicious He glanced at Su Huiniang's stomach.

"Hey, I originally wanted to make you a dress, but I'm tired recently..."

"Sister Hui's body is of course the most important thing. Don't get tired. As for the clothes, you can do it slowly. I'm not in a hurry." Yan Hongzhen said affectionately while holding Su Huiniang's hand.Not this year, next year, next year and the year after, they have a lifetime together, don't worry...

Well, it seems that the clothes are really made, Su Huiniang sighed helplessly, and quickly changed the subject: "By the way, aren't you going to entertain guests at Zhuangzi's today? Why are you back so early?"

"He did come, but he had something to do, so he was called away after he didn't stay for long." Yan Hong said succinctly. "Sister Hui, just wait, we're going to make a fortune soon..."

A word became a prophecy, roughly like this, three days later, the Su family received an imperial decree that the current Holy Majesty is going to visit Pushan Hot Spring Village in person, and ordered Yan Hongzhen to pick him up.

That night, the husband and wife surrounded the bright yellow imperial decree, looking and looking.

In the end, Su Huiniang concluded: "As expected, we are going to get rich!"

But Yan Hongzhen rubbed his chin twice, thinking with a smile: "There are people above who can handle things easily, Jiang Shibo, you are honestly too helpful."
