On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 240
No matter how eager Zhang Lihua was to get pregnant, Cui Che returned to Yang Lihua's courtyard to rest that night as usual.

This is also an unwritten rule of the Yan State Mansion, on the day of parting and the time of return, one must first rejoice with his wife.

Cui Che wanted to hug the two Lihuas on the left and right, but no matter how much fun Yang Lihua had with him in private, she just wanted to respect her identity in front of the concubine.

Reunited after a long absence, Yang Lihua moved out of Cui Che's familiar small wooden box again.

"Another needle?"

Cui Che said with a trembling voice.

Yang Lihua corrected:

"It's acupuncture."

"Can you pick a thin one?"

Cui Che pleaded, it was completely different from his tough attitude in the army that he often threatened to let Cui Hongdu test whether his sword was sharp.

"It is said that it is acupuncture, not that kind"

Yang Lihua said coquettishly, and took out a pack of needles from the wooden box, which were indeed fine needles.

"I have studied medicine with my aunt for a year, and I have gained a lot. If your husband feels sore, let me give you acupuncture."

Cui Che thought to himself: It's the wife who knows how to love others.

But then he realized again, what does it mean if it feels sore!

This.
The couple stayed up all night, and the next day, it was already high in the sun, but Cui Che was still lying on the bed, with needles all over his waist, like a hedgehog.

It was not until dusk that Cui Che washed and changed his clothes, ready to go out to visit friends.

Cui Che's first visit was naturally Niu Hong, Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Niu Hong received the call letter last night, but he turned down the invitation after he was off duty, went straight home, set up a banquet and waited for Cui Che to visit.

Cui Che also specifically mentioned two altars of famous wine brought back from Jiangnan.

Perhaps it was because Yang Jian no longer concealed his dissatisfaction with the prince, and Niu Hong's attitude towards Cui Che became closer and closer. The age difference between the two did not affect their friendship between peers, just like a pair of friends who have forgotten each other.

"This wine is delicious."

Niu Hong put down his wine glass, praised him, and joked:

"On weekdays, Duke Yan came to the door empty-handed. Today he brought such fine wine, I'm afraid the wine is not pure in heart."

"In the end, I can't hide it from Niu Gong's eyes."

Cui Che shook his head and smiled wryly:
"The suppression of the Jiangnan rebellion this time, thanks to the hard work of the soldiers, allowed me to make meritorious deeds and receive rewards.

"Now that the war has subsided, Cui also wants to find a good place for them, but it makes Niu Gong laugh."

Niu Hong didn't take it seriously and said:
"As the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, how could the old man disregard the meritorious and promote the mediocre.

"Even if Duke Yan doesn't mention it today, the old man will make proper arrangements."

As he said that, Niu Hong took out a piece of folded rice paper from his skirt and handed it to Cui Che, and said with a smile:
"Please take a look at Duke Yan, I don't know if such an arrangement is good."

It turned out that Niu Hong had already guessed Cui Che's intentions when he received Cui Che's greeting card last night, and had already arranged a place for Cui Che's two civilian cronies.

Cui Che took it with both hands, opened it to read, and saw that it read:

Fang Yanqian, a doctor of Chaosan, should be awarded the governor of Xiazhou, from the fourth rank;
"Zhao Wen, the servant of Sanqi, should be awarded the county magistrate of Zhongxian County, and he is the seventh grade;

Kong Yingda, who joined the army in the recording room, can be awarded the magistrate of Zhongxian County, the seventh rank;
Gao Shilian, who joined the army as a recorder, can be awarded the county magistrate of Zhongxian County, and he is the seventh rank. '

Although Fang Yanqian failed to face the saint, he was awarded Chaosan doctor for his meritorious service in presiding over the logistics of the army.

But Kong Yingda and Gao Shilian, who were in charge of military documents, were only rewarded with property.

Fang Yanqian and Zhao Wen are confirmed to be released, while Kong Yingda and Gao Shilian are marked as available, that is, Cui Che is willing to release the two, and Niu Hong can operate for him.

Cui Che was extremely satisfied with Niu Hong's arrangement. It had to be said that Lao Niu was able to deal with him, and the specific dispatch was on the same level as their official rank, which was the best appointment and dismissal he could get.

For example, Cui Che himself is from the Shangzhu Kingdom of the first rank, but the dispatch he received was the Shangshu of the Ministry of War of the third rank.

In order to express his gratitude, Cui Che toasted Niu Hong three glasses of wine in a row, and made Niu Hong agree to him, and all four of them arranged to work in Kanto.

After drinking for three rounds, the guests and the host had a good time, and Cui Che returned home with a bit of drunkenness.

He summoned a group of cronies to gather in the side room to inform Fang Yanqian, Zhao Wen, and Kong Yingda of their upcoming dispatch.

Although Gao Shilian also joined Cui Che's shogunate, Cui Che did not regard him as a confidant for the time being, and Gao Shilian did not rely on Yan Guofu, his father Gao Mai had his own mansion in Daxing.

At the same time, Fang Xuanling made a request at the right time. He had discussed with his father Fang Yanqian long ago. The father and son separated temporarily, hoping to stay by Cui Che's side and become an official in the shogunate next year.

By next year, Fang Xuanling will be 14 years old, and it will be time for him to become an official.

Cui Che couldn't wish more for this, and agreed without thinking.

As for Mai Tiezhang, Zhang Wu, Li Qing, Wang De and others, there was no urgency at all. They were all military officers, and the specific dispatch would be appointed by the Ministry of War, and Cui Che was in charge of the Ministry of War.

Cui Che and the four of them frankly told them that Mai Tiezhang would choose one of the fifty military towns under the administration of Youzhou Governor's Mansion to serve as the general.

Since the general of Shangzhen is the fourth rank, and Zhang Wu is only the fifth rank, he can only be wronged and go to Youzhou as a general of the middle town.

Zhang Wu didn't take this seriously, he was born in a family, so logically speaking, he should have been a slave for generations, and now he can be a general in a town because of Cui Che's support, so how could he have any resentment.

And Mai Tiezhang said with a bitter face:

"If we are separated from Magistrate Zhao, who will teach me to read and ride horses?"

Zhao Wen corrected:
"I'm not the county magistrate yet."

Cui Che woke up from the side:

"Now that you have become a general and received a large reward, are you still worried that you can't find someone to teach you?"

Mai Tiezhang scratched his head and said with a smile:
"What Duke Yan said is true."

As for Wang De and Li Qing, Cui Che planned to send them to Xuanzhou and Yizhou respectively, as captains of the local township regiment.

After talking about these things with everyone, the sky also turned dark, and everyone dispersed. Cui Che did not go to Yang Lihua's yard today, but slept in Zhang Lihua's bedroom.

That night, Zhang Lihua showed her skills, and for Cui Che, it was another sleepless night.

In the early morning of the next day, Cui Che pulled himself together, washed up, and went to the military department to be on duty.

If it was changed before, if he returned to Daxing City and didn't take the opportunity to take a short vacation of three to five days, it would be impossible for Cui Che to go back to the government office.

But this time, he was in a hurry to arrange duties for the military attache's cronies, so he was in a hurry to go to work.

When Cui Che came to the Ministry of War, Li Jing had already handed over the work to the previous Secretary of the Ministry of War.

Before fighting in the south of the Yangtze River, Li Jing was ordered to preside over the military law, but because of Cui Che's majestic and profound relationship, there was no place for him to be useful.

But fortunately, he also shared some credit with his advice and suggestions several times. After the war, he was promoted to a higher level, and he was transferred from the driving department member Uiro to the sixth-rank military department secretary.

Seeing Cui Che step into the gate of the military department, Li Jing showed a sincere smile.

　There is another chapter, maybe I won’t stay up all night in the early morning, I will make it up tomorrow, 4+1, I will write it earlier tomorrow.
