Chapter 173: Three Passing the House
?The atmosphere in Duke of Zhu was a bit strange. Duke of Zhu Yuwen Wen came back today. His wife Yuchi and his female family were overjoyed and prepared to welcome their husbands. Among those who had never expected that the most important one was missing.
"Duke went to the military camp?"
"Yes, the Langzhu returned from Bakou just now and then passed by the military camp and turned in, saying that he wanted to talk with the soldiers in the camp while having lunch, so..."
Zhang Yu, who came back to convey the news, had a bitter face. Yuchi Chifan was a little lost when he heard this. His husband was away for half a year and finally came back, but he was not in a hurry to go back home.
What are you doing when you go to the military camp? You don’t have to hurry up to this half day!
Yang Lihua listened on the side, a hint of worry flashed across her face, and Xiao Jiuniang was also a little lost. They all thought of a question: Could it be that my husband heard some rumors outside?
In November last year, a bastard pretended to be Yuwen Wen and smuggled into the Duke of Zhu's mansion to cooperate inside and outside, and robbed Yang Lihua. Fortunately, Yuchi Chifan and the other two showed flaws and discovered the other party's identity to defeat the thief's conspiracy.
Yuchi Chifan immediately used the government's side to "clearize" the matter, especially the emphasis was on the fact that the thief was discovered as soon as he entered the mansion, and the one who was guarding against someone was spreading rumors outside that the female family in the mansion was harmed by the fake Yuwen Wen.
Of course, the mouth grows on everyone's faces, and she can't control what the rough man likes to say. Anyway, there is nothing like that. Many people testify in the whole process. Yuchi Chifan is not afraid of outsiders' gossip.
But I’m afraid that Yuwen Wen will think wrongly after hearing this outside!
When Zhang Yu saw that his mistress and two wives looked wrong, he knew that he must have misunderstood something. When he saw Yuwen Wen in Jiankang, he lost his composure after hearing the rumors, but he also knew that the man-in-law had figured it out later.
This kind of thing becomes darker and darker, and it is not something that his servants can interrupt, but Zhang Yu was meticulous and followed Yu Wen Wen to hear and hear, so he silently chanted "Amitabha, Tian Tongjun is sorry!" and then began to turn the blame:
"Miss Mother! The Langzhu was in a hurry to come back, but he passed by the military camp. Listening to the busy training inside, Tian Tongjun was not careful for a moment and talked endlessly about the situation in the army. The Langzhu couldn't hold it for a while, so he turned into the military camp."
"That's right..."
When Yuchi Chifan heard this, he felt a little relieved. She knew that her husband was a military trainer. She thought she was "can't hold back for a while". She couldn't help but look at Yang Lihua and nodded to her when she saw her.
"That..."
"The man came back after he finished his work. The youngest person came back to send the news first, so that the mistress and the side wife could relax."
"Zhang Yu, how did the Duke of Guo come back from Yecheng?" Yang Lihua turned to the topic, "His Hezhou was occupied by Chen?"
Yuchi Chifan roughly knew the answer to this question. In November last year, Yuwen Wen used a letter from Fei Ge to tell her that she was in Japan, the East China Sea, but Fei Ge was still a secret. Yuwen Wen did not let her spread the letter from him, so he kept his mouth shut.
Zhang Yu saw that the mistress looked as usual and did not say anything, but the two wives looked confused. They knew that one person knew, but they didn't know, so they thought for a while and spoke:
"We are going to Jiankang by sea..."
"Take the sea!!"
Yang Lihua and Xiao Jiuniang were both shocked when they heard this, and Yuchi Chifan then came to his senses and pretended to be surprised and asked, "How could he be on the sea?"
"It's a long story... We walked along the Yellow River to the east and then headed south. We encountered a big storm and were blown to Japan..."
......
In the kitchen, Fu Youcai and others were greeting Zhang Yu and others. The other party followed the Langzhu to Yecheng and went back to Yecheng for nearly a year before returning, so it was a lively and lively.
Today, when the mansion came back, the mistress ordered the mansion to add food, so everyone had a good time. However, many of the guards who went out could not come back, so before the meal, everyone poured three glasses of wine to show their nostalgia.
There were fewer people, but two more. After Zhang Yu introduced everyone to Ma Wu and Shi Wanbao, the atmosphere became warm.
"This is brother Shi Wanbao, the younger brother of Shi Kaifu, and he is very skilled!"
"Wow! What a strong body, come and have done this bowl of wine!"
Shi Wanbao was generous and drank several bowls in one breath. Fu Youcai looked down at him and put down the wine bowl and winked at Wu Ming.
"Brother Shi! Shi Kai Mansion is very busy killing Chen Jun in Jiangnan. He has been staying in the mansion these days. We are here for a good time to discuss with each other."
Seeing Wu Ming coming with a jar of wine, Shi Wanbao complained in his heart. His alcohol tolerance was not bad, but it was obvious that the other party was not kind. It seemed that it would be impossible not to get drunk today.
He couldn't quite understand the words of the guards in the mansion because most of them were full of Nanyin, but Fu Youcai seemed to be from Guanzhong, and Wu Ming could also speak Guanzhong dialect. He could hear the "local accent" in this foreign land, so he couldn't help but be much more friendly, so Shi Wanbao didn't plan to hide.
He made up his mind, picked up a jar of wine, and argued with Wu Ming: "Brother Wu, I've done it!"
Shi Wanbao was "sieged" and the young man Qingma Wu was not much better. He was so mean that others would pay one cup toast, and one bowl toast. Now Jia Niu walked up to him with a wine jar, and he swayed and got up to carry the wine jar.
Seeing Lin Youdi, who was sitting beside him, couldn't stand it, so he quickly stood up and advised, "Brother Ma, don't force him..."
"The amount is not forced!" Ma Wu was already drunk, and he turned into a big tongue and couldn't speak clearly: "Come on, I'll get tired of it!"
Before he finished speaking, his body tilted. Fortunately, Lin Youdi helped him and did not fall to the ground. Seeing that this person had been brought down, Jia Niu turned to Zhang Yu sleekly: "A Yu..."
"I tell you, that day on the sea, the fleet encountered a storm. It was a huge wave back then, and waves were striking, higher than the walls of Xiyang City!"
Everyone took a breath when they heard this. They were listening to Zhang Yu telling the story of the adventure of the sea. This was very attractive to those who had never seen the sea before.
"The big sea boat was shattered by the waves! The remaining ships were floating on the sea, and there were water around them. After simmering for a long time, the water was all drunk, and their throats were dry and they were about to get angry..."
When everyone heard this, they felt strange: "Didn't it mean that there is water everywhere? Why can't there be no water to drink?"
"That water is salty! It's salt water. Do you think drinking salt water can quench your thirst?"
Zhang Yu was spitting everywhere. It was the first time he saw the sea. He claimed that he was so watery, but he was so scattered on the sea. "Later, I finally saw six places and went up to ask, guess where we were?"
"where?"
"Wa! Japan east of the Black Water Ocean!"
......
In the evening, a carriage was driving on the streets of Xiyangcheng, and Yuwen Wen sat in the car thinking about things.
He was very busy and never stopped after landing in Bakou. When he passed by the Hulin Army camp, he turned in, asked about the current situation carefully, and had lunch with the soldiers. When he returned to the city, he did not go home but rushed to the prefecture.
Listening to the Chief Ren Chong, don’t report to Hao Wu Bo and others. Yu Wen Wen has been away from Bazhou for nearly a year and needs to know many things. After asking in detail, I was a little relieved to learn that everything was running normally.
Then he rushed to the river embankment construction site and saw that the construction progress of the river embankment was as expected, he finally felt completely relieved: in order to build the Yangtze River embankment, he mobilized a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources, and he would never fail.
After seeing the Jiangdi construction site, I didn't go home because I asked about the state affairs and the next one was military affairs.
Last year, Bazhou established a new military office, and all the matters were handled by the general's chief and historian, and other assistants. Therefore, Yuwen Wen had to inquire about the relevant situation. After all, as the commander, he must at least be a "confidant".
It took only one hour to talk to the assistants. Yuwen Wen had an in-depth understanding of another army under his command:
The military mansion was running smoothly, with the experience of the Hulin Army training, and the addition of the former Hulin Army backbone, the new military soldiers have now strengthened their training for several months now have basic combat power.
The general of Kaifu Shi Wansui led the most capable Xinlianfu soldiers, and went south with the Sima Yang Ji of Bazhou and the Wudi of Chen, the other general of the Hulin Army, to attack Yingzhou. He had already captured Wuchang before and is now raiding Xiakou, and he is coming to a surround and attacking aid.
Yuwen Wen originally wanted to cross the river to Wuchang to take a look, but he gave up before he didn't have enough time, but he still didn't go home.
He was "recruiting" the Imperial Academy assistant teacher Liu Zhuo from Yecheng, and is now preparing for a provincial school. Yuwen Wen did not care about the dust and went to talk to Liu Zhuo in detail, and discussed related issues with Hao Wu Bo, who helped build the school.
The "hardware" of the provincial school has been almost prepared, but the "software" is still insufficient: there is a shortage of teachers, but Mr. Hao and Mr. Hao and Mr. Xu have already touched their classmates and friends, looking for suitable candidates everywhere.
It was not until the sun set that Yuwen Wen, who was constantly working, remembered that it was time to go home.
The carriage stopped at the main entrance of Duke Zhu's Mansion. At this time, there were lanterns hanging at the gate of the mansion, and the light shone as daylight. He got off the carriage and saw his wife Yuchi Chifan leading the side room Yang Lihua and Xiao Jiuniang waiting for a long time.
