lady, please calm down

Chapter 199 Humen Mountain Military Village

The eighth day of the first lunar month.

time.

'Tuk tuk ~'

"My lord, Chen Tongzhi and Governor Cai are here."

'Tuk tuk ~'

Three poles in the sun.

Amidst Baoxi's persevering knock on the door, Chen Chu opened his eyes, and a dazzling sunlight entered the bedroom from the window.

"understood."

Chen Chu responded with a sour throat. After gradually regaining consciousness, he first felt the headache and thirst after a hangover.

Taking off the lotus root arms around his waist, Chen Chu looked at the man with disheveled hair beside him, "Hua'er, get up."

"Don't go, just treat it as a rest day."

Cai Wei, who also had a headache, closed her eyes and muttered, wrapping her arms around Chen Chu's again.

"Your father is here."

"Oh"

Hearing what Chen Chu said, Cai Hua let go of her hand.

Chen Chu sat up, looked at the clothes thrown all over the floor by the two, was in a daze, and suddenly said: "Hey, how do I remember, the cat was there last night?"

"."

Cai Wei, who wanted to stay in bed for a while, opened her long and narrow fox eyes in an instant when she heard the words. Regardless of the excitement, she sat up and took a look inside the bed, but saw that it was empty.

This also confused Cai Wei, rubbing her slightly swollen sleepy eyes, she was not sure: "She was here last night, right?"

Drunk last night, although the memory is incoherent, Cai Wei's fragmented memory has many, many pictures of cats that are quite different from the dignified image of the past.

Cai Wei covered her mouth and yawned, glanced at the cat teaser who was dressing, and seemed to be talking to herself, "It's weird, I still remember that I helped push it."

"."

Chen Chu pretended not to hear, hurriedly cleaned up and was about to go out.

No, Cai Wei, who was wrapped in the quilt and got out of bed to pack her clothes, giggled abruptly, and Chen Chu turned her head.

But I saw Cai Hua squatting on the ground, like a young case-solving expert, digging out a white lace Aolai corset with a powder foundation from the pile of clothes, pinching it with her thumb and forefinger, "Hehehe, so I ran away." , the equipment has fallen.”

Both control the front hall of the official Yamen.

Three days later, on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, the new prefect of Caizhou, Zuo Guoen, came to take office. Chen Jingyan and Cai Yuan came to find Lao Wu to discuss how to welcome Shangguan.

The three sat down in the hall.

Chen Chu returned from the battle for many days, and he didn't even spend the New Year at home.

Seeing that the cheap son-in-law was tired, Cai Yuan couldn't help but feel distressed and said, "No matter how much business you have to do, you need to do it step by step. It's counterproductive to exhaust your body. Now that you're back, go home and take a good rest for a day or two. Is it common to sleep in the value room?"

"Yes." Chen Chu said respectfully.

After talking about welcoming Zuo Guoen, Chen Jingyan asked in a low voice, "Fifth brother, what do you think about the position of commander of the military guards?"

There was no outsider here, and Chen Chu didn't hide anything, "At first I wanted to recommend Da Lang, but after the official document was handed in, Mr. Zhang didn't reply for a long time. I think it's hanging."

"Well, Master Zuo took office on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, and Master Zhang accompanied him. Maybe it was for this reason. The day before yesterday, I talked about this with Shouqian. My own people, the adults above are worried that the Caizhou family is the only one, and there is no one to check and balance, so I think it will not be easy to agree."

Chen Chu took a sip of tea to relieve his thirst, "Oh? Why did Mr. Liu Chuan teach me?"

"Shouqian means that it is better for the fifth younger brother to recommend one of the original Marquis Yu of the Wuwei Army before Master Zhang arrives. In this way, Master Zhang will accept it more easily, and the new commander will also be grateful for the kindness of your promotion."

Chen Chu also had this intention, but Song Bao, Du Duofu and others were fine in accepting money to do things, but it was not reassuring to use such subordinates again.

Na Jiang Shuquan had just been promoted from the capital to Marquis of Yu, and if he was promoted by force, it would not be easy to overwhelm the entire army.

After thinking about it, I still have to go down and see for myself.

Before parting, Chen Chu suddenly asked, "Third brother, is Mr. Liu Chuan still leaving?"

"Let's go, of course we have to go. Now that Ma Bangde and others have surrendered, there is no such thing as an official way, so Shouqian is preparing to leave after the Lantern Festival."

Hehe Xiaoxiao?

Chen Dutong didn't allow it to exist on the official path, so he didn't.

If Chen Dutong needs to be on the official road, Xiao Xiao can also spring up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, and emerge in endlessly.

Chen Chu nodded, and said again: "The carload of belongings that third brother was robbed last time has been recovered in full, don't forget to take it with you when you leave."

"Uh, fifth brother has a heart!"

Old Chen couldn't help being moved.

Not to mention how much a carload of goods is worth, the main thing is this friendship!

Going to suppress the bandits in a frenzy, if Lao Wu didn't think about it, who would remember Chen Jingyan's car?

Fifth, stand up for justice!
The three parted in front of the hall, and Chen Chu went to the school grounds in the south of the city.

Cai Yuan accompanied Chen Jingyan to Erjin.

When Chen Jingyan looked at the undamaged cart of belongings next to the stables in the second courtyard, he couldn't help but praise the fifth child.

Cai Yuan stroked his beard and stood aside, with an indifferent expression, but he couldn't help but feel complacent. How can the person that the old man likes be so bad?
But in the next moment, Cai Yuan's face couldn't stop twitching.

Outside the moon gate across the courtyard, I saw a woman in red with a graceful figure and a messy bun, coming out of the back house and sneaking into a small sedan chair.

"Ru'er, let's go. The puppy said my father is here, so I won't be seen by him in a while, and the old man will have to blow his beard and stare!"

The lazy tone faintly spread across the courtyard
The 'old man''s gray beard blew up slightly immediately, but he remembered what his daughter said just now 'blowing his beard and staring', so he stroked it a few times
Chen Jingyan on the side couldn't hold it back, he turned his back and laughed "Gee!", and hastily coughed to cover it up.

"What are you laughing at?"

"I didn't laugh!"

Chen Jingyan refused to admit it.

Speaking of which, Cai Yuan is his official, so why should he question Chen Tongzhi so confidently.

But the relationship between the few people is complicated. With the sworn agreement, everyone is Da Qi's 'rebel'.

No one is more noble than anyone else.

Even because of the relationship between Cai Wei and Chen Chu, Cai Yuan was faintly detached among the five people, one of whom was lower than the other and the third was above.

Therefore, seeing that Cai Yuan was displeased, Chen Jingyan didn't dare to show his prestige, but he said in his heart: Hey, look at your good daughter, who has disgraced the whole family. Although I, Ayu, are a bit rebellious, compared to Your Cai family's daughter, but I don't know how many times better!
The family of subordinate officials is naturally inferior to my scholarly family!
noon.

Chen Chu led two teams of personal soldiers to Zhenyang County.

Before setting off, Maodan was specially asked to go back and tell the cat.

Sajin Lane, Chen Mansion.

After the cat came home, he took a bath and freshened up, and his appearance has returned to calm.

but in the heart
She is used to getting up early, even if she is drunk, she will be the first to open her eyes at the end of the morning.

But the sight that came into his eyes after that made his confused brain wake up immediately.

He and Cai Hua hugged the official's arms, one on the left and the other on the right.

Then, scenes of extremely absurd fragmentary pictures emerged.

Although the memory of drunkenness is blurred and messy, Mao'er is sure that the crazy woman's help was indispensable for what happened last night.

She remembered that it was Cai Hua who coaxed her to take off her clothes.

When I took a shower after returning home, there was a clear palm print on my buttocks, which didn't look like Chen Chu's hand in size.

"Crazy woman!"

The cat sat blankly in the bedroom, gritted its teeth and felt aggrieved and wanted to cry.

It's not all because of being spanked by Cai Hua, it's mainly because of shame.
Just now, she once wanted to escape back to Luliuxu.

So when Mao Dan said that Chen Chu had gone to Zhenyang County and it would take two or three days to return, the overwhelmed Maoer suddenly felt relieved.

She doesn't know how to face the officials
mid noon.

The cat didn't eat lunch, and hid in the bedroom by itself.

Later, Bai Lu came to report that Mrs. Cai San asked to see her.

"No, no! Just say I'm not feeling well!"

From inside the house came the squeaky cat's angry sound.

Bai Lu had never seen such a soft-spoken lady lose her composure, and was very surprised.

The cat is naturally annoyed because of shame. It was so ridiculous last night, how could it have the face to meet it!She was still in a hurry to hide, but she actually came to the door on her own initiative!
What do you say when we meet?

You praised me for being so handsome?
Shall I reply to each other?

What a crazy woman!
After a while, there was another cautious knock on the door outside the bedroom. Before the cat got angry, Bai Lu said first, "Ma'am, Mrs. Cai San has something for you, and she said it was left behind by Madam."

These words should be used.

The room was quiet for a while, and the door opened with a 'squeak'.

Bai Lu stood outside the door, holding a small bundle wrapped in a handkerchief in her hand.

The cat seemed to have guessed what was inside, took it without even asking, turned around and closed the door.

Academy Street.

Cai Hua's house.

"Ru'er, help me cook a bowl of hangover soup."

Cai Hua, who had a sore back and weak legs, rubbed her forehead and confessed. When passing by Erjin's house, she saw Tie Dan in a short black suit with his hands behind his back, chanting, "Little Flash Pole, Big Liuhe, Xiao Liuhe."

A foot away in front of him, Xiaoman held a small pear flower gun in both hands, and performed a set of coherent moves in the order that Master Tie Dan explained.

In a short time, Xiaoman finished with a move to sweep the guns in all directions, put away the guns and stood on the spot.

Tie Dan seemed quite satisfied, but he didn't know how to praise others, so he just stepped forward and wiped the sweat from Xiao Man's forehead with his sleeve.

On the other side, Hutou, who came to join in the fun, was still poking his buttocks and striding forward.

At the age of eight or nine, he is growing up.

Compared with half a year ago, the tiger's head was much taller, and the original chubby face was also a little thinner.

The bun on the head is tied into two small balls on the left and right, tied with a red ribbon and hanging down to the ears on both sides.

Although the posture of the horse gait is loose and loose, it has a serious face.

Cai Wei leaned on the pillar and watched for a while, suddenly her childlike innocence grew, she stepped forward with a smile, raised her leg and kicked Hutou's buttocks.
The unsuspecting tiger head suddenly fell to the ground.

Hutou lay on the ground and turned around, seeing that this wicked woman was bullying him, his big eyes turned red, but he held back his tears and only glared at Cai Wei.

"."

Cai Wei intended to play with Hutou, but she didn't exert any strength on her feet, but she didn't expect to let the little girl fall.

I feel quite embarrassed.

But apologizing is not her style, "Tsk tsk tsk, what kind of horse step are you doing? You can fall down with a light hook."

Seeing her friend being bullied, Xiaoman didn't dare to offend Mrs. Cai San, but she also stepped forward to help Hutou up to show her support.

"Sister." Tie Dan hesitantly stepped forward, the baby's face was full of tangles, but he still spoke uprightly: "Sister, why do you vent your anger on the child in the enmity between adults? Hutou is right, why did you kick her?"

"."

I, Cai Hua, will vent my anger on a little girl?

Your eyes saw that I kicked her, I just played with her and hooked her lightly, okay!

But in the eyes of others, Mrs. Cai and Zhao An are incompatible, and she can't tell if she has a mouth.

If you can't explain clearly, just don't say it. Cai Wei, who was a bit imposing when she saw who was going to kill someone, turned to Tie Dan and said, "You still have time to teach others Kung Fu? Hurry up and worry about your own big things! Last time he gave you such a delicate face, You don't even give a gift in return? How about you embroider a purse and return it?"

"."

Tie Dan habitually lowered his head and said, "I don't know how to be a girl."

"Didn't the embroiderer teach you a few days ago?"

"Big hands, I can't hold the needle," Tie Dan pouted his head and said wryly.

"Then write a letter to express your gratitude, shall we?" Cai Hua was persuasive.

"I am illiterate."

"Didn't I ask Ru'er to teach you?" Cai Hua asked again.

"I can't remember, I only learned twelve, which is not enough to make up the number of words for a letter." Anyway, Tie Dan raised his head, a little bit like breaking the can.

"God! I learned twelve characters in three months."

Cai Wei had a headache again, and said angrily, "Then what do you know?"

After finishing speaking, he hastily added, "Except for boxing and gunplay!"

"."

Tie Dan, who originally wanted to say these two, closed his opened mouth embarrassingly.

"Hey! If you have half the skills of that little goldfish, why worry about not being able to find a husband's family in your 20s!"

These words pierced my heart, and I had no choice but to fight back.

"Sister, Chen Dutong and I are brothers. He treats me well, and I will repay him in other ways"

Tie Dan sneaked a glance at Cai Wei, then shifted his gaze away uncomfortably, "Speaking of not being able to find a husband's family, my sister is a year older than me."

that day.

Chen Chu led two hundred soldiers, each on horseback, heading southeast.

Along the way, whenever you meet people along the way, the other party will always throw away the fagots, chariots and horses at the first time, and run away with their children in their arms.

It seems that they have a deep-rooted pain for the so-called bandits' crimes like a comb and soldiers' crimes like a grate.

Chen Chu couldn't help sighing, thinking of a legendary team in later generations.
Limited to the time of his birth, he has never seen soldiers and civilians in the war era, but such examples are not uncommon in the peace era.

When people are in danger or disaster, if they see the soldiers coming under that banner, the strong sense of security they feel is not fabricated.

At least, Chen Chu's parents had a deep experience during a flood in a certain year.

Today's Zhenhuai Army lacks a set of beliefs supported by a complete set of theories. Chen Chu can only start with treatment and military discipline.

But wanting to reverse the local people's understanding of the army in Caizhou is not a one-time achievement.

The people are the source of the army, without the support of the people, the battle of Tongshan cannot be won, and the Zhenhuai army will become a tree without roots, which is not fundamentally different from the nearby Xiang army that is about to collapse at a touch.

Compared with military leaders like Zheng Yi, Chen Chu's biggest advantage is that he has systematically received modern education, apart from seeds and agronomy knowledge.

For example, the seemingly most useless meditation class in college.

In addition to teaching Chen Chu a set of simple materialist dialectics in this course, Mao Gai even taught the method of rebellion. People's hearts are always the top priority.

Unity time.

200 people rode for [-] miles in half a day and arrived at the camp of the Wuwei Army in Zhenyang County.

Because there was no notice in advance, Cao Jinzhong, the Marquis of Yu in Zhongziying, was in a hurry, and immediately ordered Xiaozao in the army to kill chickens and geese.

Chen Chu walked around the camp, although he encouraged Cao Jinzhong with gentle words, he didn't even eat, and came and went like the wind.

Cao Jinzhong looked confused.

Chen Chu was here to inspect the military officers. Although Cao Jinzhong was respectful, there were piles of rubbish on the school grounds in the camp, and even in winter the smell was unbearable.

The excrement in the toilet was silted out of the pit, and the excrement and water flowed indiscriminately.

Sergeants in ragged clothes looked like beggars, squatting or standing at the gate of the barracks in groups of three or four, what's more, they were playing with each other's lice in each other's chicken coop hair.
After leaving the camp, even the white-haired mouse, who was not proficient in military matters, muttered: "No wonder Daqi is in turmoil everywhere, it's no wonder such an army can win the battle!"

Wu Tong, a soldier of the former Shenrui Army, blushed and said in embarrassment: "Bai Shichang, but most of the Xiang armies in the world are like this. How can we be like our adults, who make us eat and clothe us warmly, and force us to bathe every ten days?"

"Hey, that's true. Old Wu, it's your blessing to join our Zhenhuai army, so you have to work hard in the future!"

The white-haired mouse pressed forward as a veteran of the startup.

"hey-hey."

Mao Dan took a look at Lao Bai, only smiled but didn't expose him.

At that time, Lao Bai was still a hairy guard when he was reforming through labor in Luliuxu.

The end of Xu.

Chen Chu traveled another [-] li to the east and arrived at the Humen Mountain Military Village by the Huai River.

This village is only separated from the Zhou Dynasty by the Huai River, so the vigilance is obviously much higher.

Five miles away from the military camp, they were discovered and stopped by the sentry. After informing the other party of their identity, the sentry led 200 horses to the gate of the Humen military camp.

Don't want
"The military law of Daqi, the frontier army fortress, closed at three o'clock in winter, and you are not allowed to open the door without orders!"

On the wall of the village built against the mountain, a dark figure shouted.

Seeing this, Mao Dan couldn't help being anxious, "Under the village is Mr. Chen, the commander of the left-behind department of Caizhou! Open your eyes and see clearly!"

"Great Qi Military Law."

The man in the village repeated what he had just said without any emotion.

Call the hairy egg angrily.

I don't think so, the man in the village is even more over the top, "I haven't received the Shangguan's military order to inform that there are friendly troops stationed tonight. I don't know the truth at night. I also ask the adults to take people back three miles away to temporarily station. To avoid accidental injury."

"you dare!"

Maodan felt that the other party didn't take his boss seriously. When Shangguan came to your village, not only would he not be allowed to enter, but he would also be driven three miles away!
Uncle can bear it, but aunt can't bear it either!

But in the next moment, the officer in the village actually bent his bow and set an arrow, and shot an arrow downward.

'咻~'

In the thick night, there was a sound of piercing through the air, and a long arrow made in the military was nailed straight two feet in front of Maodan's body, and the body of the arrow penetrated more than a foot into the ground, leaving only a short tail trembling slightly.

Mao Dan was startled, and the eldest son was also startled, and stood sideways in front of Chen Chu.

Only the big sword that came together looked at the arrow tail on the ground and praised, "What a strong bow!"

The man in the village said again: "This is the military law! If the village is really Chen Dutong, a certain Jiang Huaixiong will take the blame by himself!"

Chen Chu looked at the dark military camp with a smile, gently pushed away the eldest son standing in front of him, and said to himself, "This Humen Mountain military camp is interesting."
