Chapter 399 Guanzhong Idle Man
Chapter 399 Guanzhong Idle Man
Jing was good at music and was famous in Luoyang.
But for many years, people have not had the chance to appreciate her. After she moved to Guangchengze, no one dared to take advantage of her because of rumors that she was the concubine of Mr. Chen.
Before accepting the invitation to visit, Yu Wenjun inquired about the background of the Jing family. When she heard the news reported by Pu Tao, she was surprised for a long time.
She subconsciously wanted to leave, but Xun tugged at her clothes. After she figured it out, she took a deep breath and went to the door with her musical instrument.
On the other side of the hill, Shao Xun made use of the precious free time and had a great time playing with his daughter in the yard.
"It's really a father-daughter bond." Shao Xun held his daughter in his arms and sat under the shade of a tree, saying softly, "Grandpa has prepared a lot of things for you."
The daughter let out an "ah" and looked at him in confusion.
Shao Xun kissed his daughter's forehead and said, "Food, drink, clothing, supplies, and toys, everything is available. Grandpa will choose the most beautiful place in the world and build a big house for you."
"Wooah!" The daughter blew out a bubble, which landed on Shao Xun's face and exploded. Then both the father and daughter laughed uncontrollably, one with a silly smile and the other with a happy laugh.
Liu stood aside, looking at the father and daughter in a daze, showing their warm and happy appearance.
Unconsciously, the frost on my face melted away, and a smile appeared on the corners of my mouth.
Unconsciously, she took a few steps forward, getting closer to the father and daughter.
The two, one big and one small, started playing the horse riding game again.
Shao, who was rushing left and right among thousands of soldiers and had almost no enemy to match, honestly pretended to be an old horse and let his daughter lie on his back, hugging his neck and whimpering.
From time to time, he would cooperate by making a few horse neighs.
Mrs. Liu chuckled, her gentle eyes swept over her daughter, and then fell on Shao Xun.
Shao Xun was already lying on the grass and caught a grasshopper for his daughter to play with.
The child didn't understand anything. He grabbed the grasshopper, looked at it for a while, and then put it in his mouth.
Liu rushed forward to grab it, but the child refused and turned his head to hide to the side.
Liu leaned sideways and finally got the grasshopper in her hand. The child immediately burst into tears.
Shao Xun gently embraced Liu in his arms and laid her sideways beside him.
The child saw his mother lying down as well, and started giggling between the two of them.
"Xiao He, look how happy our daughter is." Shao Xun said with a grin.
Liu turned her head away from him and said, "Of course your daughter is happy."
"She's also your daughter." Shao Xun's hand gently stroked Liu's back.
At first, Liu pinched and grabbed her hard a few times, trying to get the shameless man to open up. But the man was unyielding, and he kept touching her every time he opened her up. In the end, her strength became lighter and lighter, and she was held tightly in the man's arms, letting him do whatever he wanted.
Today's sunshine is warm but not scorching, making people feel warm all over.
Shao Xun held the restless child in one arm and rested his other hand gently under his head, looking at the sky.
Liu still subconsciously kept pushing him.
The man had already pulled his hands away from her back and was no longer restraining her, but Liu seemed not to notice and was still nestled in Shao Xun's arms.
Children are truly wonderful things; they can greatly bring two people closer together.
"After arriving in Nanyang..." Shao Xun's voice seemed to come from the horizon, distant and unclear: "Shunyang Governor Yang Man, Nanyang Internal History Le Kai, Wancheng Undertaker Yang Dan, and Duyang Tuntian Army Captain Shao Guang are all trustworthy."
"Liang Fen didn't want to get involved in Nanyang's mess, but now that he has, I'm not sure what he's thinking now, so I can only restrict him in many ways."
"The governor of Jingzhou is Wang Cheng. He will not easily agree to the exchange of governors and ministers. Shunyang and Nanyang counties combined should be able to check and balance him. Xinye governor Yu Fang can be befriended, but it is best not to trust him completely."
"You have arranged so many people, why do you still want me to go to Nanyang?" Liu asked softly.
"They can't contact Guanzhong, but you can," Shao Xun said.
"The Nanyang Palace has almost been disbanded." Liu said with some sadness: "Although the governors of various states and counties were promoted by my late husband, most of them will not admit it now."
"You are wrong. The heir to the throne of Nanyang is in Qinzhou, and the royal palace has not been disbanded." Shao Xun felt a little shameless when he said this.
"Then I might as well help my son, why should I help you?" Liu looked at Shao Xun, and there was a hint of mischief in her bright eyes.
Shao Xun was a little surprised. Is this still the submissive Liu Xiaohe?
"Is it possible that Wang Bao of Nanyang will stay in Qinzhou for a long time?" Shao Xun asked.
Liu sighed, and there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.
"When things get hopeless, bring him to Nanyang." Shao Xun said, "I will protect you."
"I have a son and I don't need you to protect him." Liu glanced at him sideways, and then glanced at Shao Xun with nervous eyes.
"Whether you need it or not, I will protect you to the best of my ability." Shao Xun said, "And our daughter."
Liu was silent for a long time, then gritted her teeth and said, "Xun Niang is right, you are a pervert. I am already over 30, and I have been quietly serving as the Nanyang Concubine, with my children and grandchildren serving me. This life has passed quickly. But you insist on ruining my reputation and becoming your mistress, coming and going as you please. Did I owe you anything in my previous life?"
"I'll pay you double what I owe you in the next life." Shao Xun said with a smile.
Liu hit Shao Xun hard.
When the daughter saw her father being beaten, she looked at her mother who was beating him and immediately burst into tears.
Shao Xun quickly held his daughter in his arms and comforted her softly. After a short while, her crying stopped.
Seeing this, Liu said sourly, "After all, the father and daughter are connected by heart. I have been taking care of her for so long, but it's all in vain."
Shao Xun hugged Liu again and said, "We will have other children in the future, and some will always be on the side of mother."
Liu blushed and spat.
"In this chaotic world, there is no tomorrow." Shao Xun said, "If we meet, we will support each other and go on together."
Liu sighed. She had already given birth to a child for this man, her chastity was gone, and she didn't have the courage to die, so what else could she do?
"You are so ambitious..." Liu sighed after a long time.
"If you don't move forward, you will move backward." Shao Xun said, "At this point, it's impossible to become a rich man by retreating. It's better to fight hard and see if you can earn something. If you succeed by chance, Xiaohe, you will be the imperial concubine in the future, isn't that good?"
"Who wants to be your imperial concubine?" Liu blushed and said, "You might as well usurp the throne. The empress and concubines are already there. I see you like them very much."
"Can you please speak properly?" Shao Xun scolded with a smile.
"Do you dare to say that you haven't thought about these things in your mind?" Liu glanced at him and gently slapped his hand down.
Shao Xun quickly begged for mercy.
Liu was also lying on her back with her face facing upwards.
Shao Xun lay side by side with her, holding his daughter high.
The spring breeze blows across the grass, like a family of three, very warm.
"If things can't be done, come back. I'll be waiting for you at home."
"Ah."
******
"Shunling, please help me dust the grass debris off my back." Shao Xun said after leaving Liuhua Courtyard.
Cai Cheng understood and immediately checked carefully to make sure there was nothing unusual.
"Is Liang Chen selecting soldiers?" Shao Xun asked.
"Yes, we have selected six or seven hundred people."
Shao Xun nodded.
Liang Chen and Wei Fu only had 200 guards at Guanzhong, which was definitely not enough.
Shao Xun also asked the two to select 500 men from the villagers of Caiguan Village and Lvliuyuan Village, and then select 300 men from the soldiers of Guangchengze Village, to make a total of 1,000 soldiers.
After establishing the kingdom, he tried to pacify the refugees from Guanxi, develop production, and expand the army when he had spare capacity.
Nanyang Concubine Liu is in charge of the fiefdom, Internal History Le Kai is in charge of government affairs, Liang Chen is a lieutenant, I will make Nanyang State real. Liang Fen, don't you respect the court? Nanyang State is also part of the court, you can do whatever you want.
Of course, if it was just to contain Liang Fen, that would be too low a plan. Wuguan was in Shunyang, another road to Guanzhong besides Tongguan, and it went straight to Lantian near Chang'an.
Shao Xun never hesitated to cause trouble for the Huns.
When passing by Wang Guojiu's manor, Shao Xun waited for a while.
On the nearby mountains, thousands of the best soldiers from the Silver Spear Army, various clans, and garrison troops were hunting wild animals.
This is also a part of military training, which exercises coordination and cooperation ability, and also tests personal skills.
After watching for a while, voices were heard at the door.
Jing personally escorted Yu Wenjun out the door. The two were in high spirits and seemed to be discussing music, with a feeling of reluctance to say farewell.
"Ming Gong."
"Husband."
The two spoke almost at the same time.
Shao Xun pulled Yu Wenjun over and hugged her lovingly.
In front of Jing, Yu Wenjun felt a little embarrassed and gently pushed him away.
Although her husband doted on her in the past, he was not like that in front of outsiders. Why does she seem to have done something wrong today?
Shao Xun nodded to Jing, then took Yu Wenjun to the carriage and set off.
"Are you going back to Green Willow Garden?" asked Yu Wenjun.
"I just took some time to look at the horses on the ranch..." Shao Xun said halfway, and suddenly changed his tone: "After the look, everything is done. Next, take the Silver Spear Army and train while walking back to Xuchang. March is not far away, you have to take the families of the shogunate officers to pick mulberry leaves and weave cloth. This is very important, not just for show, you must do it well."
Yu Wenjun was still thinking about what her husband had just said about looking after the horses in the ranch. I didn't ask him, so I had to find some time to ask Jiangxia and Qiniang.
She always felt uneasy, so she snuggled tightly in Shao Xun's arms and sniffed gently with her little nose - this was what Pu Tao taught her, and it helped a lot.
"It would be great if there were no wars in this world." Yu Wenjun suddenly said.
"If there is no war, I won't be able to marry you, the one I've always dreamed of." Shao Xun said with a smile.
Yu Wenjun laughed and said, "No, I will remember my husband and run away from home."
"Will you remember it in your next life?"
"Remember." Yu Wenjun nuzzled into Shao Xun's arms and said, "So you should remember my kindness and don't lie to me. I'll be sad."
Shao Xun's eyes narrowed and he looked at his wife's face.
Yu Wenjun turned her head away and just hugged him tighter.
"After we get back, we will raise silkworms together, and then I will weave a beautiful skirt for you, a skirt that belongs only to you." Shao Xun leaned close to his wife's ear and whispered.
"Yeah." Yu Wenjun finally turned around.
On February 25th, the army returned to Xuchang while marching.
Time management master Shao decided to stay calm for a while. While handling official business, he built a silkworm room in the southeast corner of his home.
All is ready except for the opportunity.
