On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 330 Cavalry Pawn Zhang Zhen
When Cui Che returned to Ji County, only the second son Cui Yanzong came out of the city to meet him, and the eldest son Cui Qiji was nowhere to be seen.

Cui Yanzong explained:

"Grandpa is going to send troops in the spring, and the supplies have already been transferred to the front line. My brother is worried, so he went to Yanzhou to sit in the town ahead of time."

Cui Che nodded when he heard that, no matter what, the sons in the family got along well, and it was also because he had made a lot of contributions over the years and earned titles for each of them. Even Cui Yanzong, who was born as a concubine, also won the title of Marquis of Lecheng County.

Each has a title, and there is no competition between brothers.

Of course, if Yan Guogong is replaced by the throne, it will be another situation.

As the New Year approached, every household in Ji County was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the city was filled with a festive atmosphere. Two red lanterns were also hung outside the main entrance of Yan Guo Mansion.

It's just that the concubines in Cui Che's house did not have any joy in welcoming the new year.

As time goes by, the beauty is easy to grow old, even Cui Che has entered middle age, let alone those women in the mansion.

But what should come, no matter how much you resist, it will still come.

Amidst the celebrations in the streets and alleys, the new year is still coming as scheduled.

The first ray of dawn in the second year of Renshou (AD 602) shines through the window paper.

Zhang Lihua was still twisting her waist, the spring in the first month was the first to bloom in Cui Che's bedroom.

It wasn't until she was exhausted that Zhang Lihua lay down on her stomach, her side face pressed tightly against Cui Che's chest.

Since the beginning of last year, Mu Xieli, who was 46 years old at the time, seldom slept with Cui Che. Of course, for her, being able to give birth to Cui Wenyan would give her something to care about and rely on for the rest of her life, and that was enough.

When Cui Che came looking for her, Mu Xieli would still do her best to cater to her. When Cui Che ignored her, Mu Xieli was also happy to be at leisure. She usually chanted scriptures and worshiped Buddha in the Buddhist monastery. The only thing that could worry her was Cui Wenyan's marriage.

Zhang Lihua's seven-foot hair is the same as back then. It is as black as ink and shines brightly. Even if she is over forty years old, her appearance is still better than thousands of vulgar fans, but she is no longer young after all. She is only younger than Mu Xieli three years old.

Seeing that Mu Xieli fell out of favor, Zhang Lihua also knew that in two more years, such happy days would be gone forever.

Zhang Lihua never expected that Cui Che could still pamper her when she was old and fading.

That's the privilege of a first wife. How could a concubine who entertains people with sex have such delusions.

Zhang Lihua only hopes to spend more happy time with Cui Che in these two years.

"My husband is going out of the fortress this time, and there must be people around to serve you, so why don't you let the concubine go with you?"

Zhang Lihua gently drew circles on Cui Che's chest with her fingertips, and said softly.

Cui Che couldn't help smiling wryly, Miaorong and Yuchi Chifan had mentioned this matter to him in the past few days.

The concubines are no longer young, and if they go by themselves, it can be as short as a few months, or as long as a year. Who would like to waste the few beautiful days left, and stay lonely in the empty boudoir.

Cui Che held Zhang Lihua's hand and worked all night. He was really tired and couldn't bear her teasing.

"Go, you all go."

Cui Che reluctantly agreed.

On the second day of the first lunar month, Hengzhou.

Zhang Zhen, a guard at the border, got up early in the morning, and after a brief grooming, he went to the backyard to feed the horses.

The young soldier who once regretted that he was only a pawn and could not go out to plunder with Cui Che, now, like him, he is over thirty and has become a middle-aged man.

Zhang Zhen's family raised three horses, one war horse, and two for transportation. At first they were borrowed from Youzhou Governor's Mansion. Later, Zhang Zhen participated in the battle of Xiliaohe as a cavalry pawn and made great achievements. After receiving the reward, he bought the three horses.

These three horses are very precious to Zhang Zhen, especially the war horses, which eat better than Zhang Zhen himself.

Zhang Zhen's wife put on her clothes, looked at her husband who was taking care of the horses early in the morning, and complained:

"My mother-in-law is busy serving these animals before they are fed."

Han and Hu live together in northern Xinjiang, and their customs are different from those in Jiangnan.

Zhang Zhen stared and said:
"What are you in a hurry for? The general said let's gather tomorrow. We have plenty of time tonight."

Mrs Zhang didn't know what to think of, even though she was bold and aggressive, she still blushed, she changed the subject and said:

"We're leaving tomorrow, are everything ready?"

Zhang Zhen fed the war horse patiently, but turned his head and said impatiently to his wife:
"The clothes are all packed, and I have sharpened the knives and guns yesterday, so I don't need you to remind me."

Mrs. Zhang was still worried, she exhorted:
"Nannan is still young, you can't have any accidents. On the battlefield, you need to be more careful, don't rush too far."

Zhang Zhen curled his lips, thinking that his wife is a woman's opinion, she is timid on the battlefield, how can she do meritorious service, I wanted to reprimand her a few words, but when I think of my young daughter, I can understand her worry up.

After all, if she were to be a woman to raise her daughter alone, she would have to suffer a lot.

Zhang Zhen suddenly said:
"How about we have another child when I come back?"

Zhang's face sank:
"Okay! You just don't like me giving birth to a daughter for you."

Zhang Zhen was speechless.

But Mrs. Zhang was not unreasonable, she rolled her eyes, eased her face, and said:

"If you don't learn from those people and bring some barbarians home, I can have another child with you."

Zhang Zhen was taken aback when he heard the words, then threw away the pasture in his hand, hugged his wife, and said with a smile:
"Let's not wait until later, we're going to have a baby now."

The next day, the third day of the first lunar month, in the early morning, Zhang Zhen yawned and went out, his legs still trembling from time to time.

"I am away from home, you are not allowed to bring some wild men in."

Zhang Zhen looked haggard, but solemn.

Zhang spat:

"The young men in the military town are all going to Yanzhou to fight for wealth, and there is a child to take care of at home, where can I find a wild man.

"If you don't believe me, when you come back, you can ask Nannan if I have been with her all the time."

Zhang Zhen was relieved now, he smiled and said:

"You wait for me at home, and I will definitely let you live a good life."

Mrs. Zhang also softened, and she took the trouble to exhort:
"You must pay attention to safety when you go out."

Zhang Zhen was tired of hearing these words, he smiled bitterly and said:
"It was Duke Yan who led us out of the fortress. He has been in northern Xinjiang for so many years. When did you see him lose a battle? With Duke Yan here, we will surely return victorious."

Mrs. Zhang certainly knows Cui Che's ability. If someone else was the governor of Youzhou, she would have to stop her husband when he wanted to become a cavalry soldier.

Before his daughter woke up, Zhang Zhen waved goodbye to his wife. When his daughter woke up, he had to cry and go with him.

Zhang watched her husband lead the three horses to the school grounds, and silently blessed him in her heart, hoping that her husband would return safely.
