On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 330 Cavalry Zhang Zhen

When Cui Che returned to Ji County, only his second son Cui Yanzong came out of the city to greet him, but his eldest son Cui Qiji was nowhere to be seen.

Cui Yanzong explained:

"My grandfather is preparing to send out troops in the spring, and the supplies have been transferred to the front line. My brother was worried and went to Yanzhou in advance to take charge."

Cui Che nodded when he heard this. No matter what, the sons in the family got along well with each other. It was also related to the fact that he had made many contributions over the years and earned titles for each of them. Even Cui Yanzong, who was born as a concubine, was awarded the title of Marquis of Lecheng County.

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

Of course, if the Duke of Yan is replaced by the throne, it will be a different situation.

As the New Year approaches, every household in Jixian County is decorating with lanterns and colorful decorations. The city is filled with a festive atmosphere. Two red lanterns are hung outside the main entrance of Yanguo Mansion.

It's just that the side rooms in Cui Che's house don't have any joy in welcoming the New Year.

As time goes by, beauties age quickly, and even Cui Che has entered middle age, let alone the women in the house.

But what is supposed to come, no matter how hard you resist, it will still come.

Amidst the celebrations in the streets and alleys, the new year has arrived as scheduled.

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

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

Until she was exhausted, Zhang Lihua lay down and pressed her side face closely against Cui Che's chest.

Since the beginning of last year, the 46-year-old Mu Xieli rarely sleeps with Cui Che anymore. Of course, for her, being able to give birth to Cui Wenyan and giving her someone to worry about and rely on for the rest of her life is enough.

.

When Cui Che came to see her, Mu Xieli would still try his best to cater to her. When Cui Che ignored her, Mu Xieli was happy to relax and spend her days in the monastery chanting sutras and worshiping Buddha. The only thing that could worry her was Cui Wenyan's marriage.

Zhang Lihua's seven-foot-long hair is still as dark as ink and radiant. Even though she is over forty, her appearance is still better than that of thousands of ordinary people. But after all, she is no longer young. She is only younger than Mu Xieli.

Three years old.

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

Zhang Lihua never had the extravagant expectation that Cui Che could still pamper her when her beauty faded in her old age.

That is the privilege of the legitimate 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 to the fortress this time and cannot be without someone to take care of him. Why don't you let me go with you?"

Zhang Lihua's fingertips gently drew circles on Cui Che's chest and whispered.

Cui Che couldn't help but smile bitterly. In the past few days, Miaorong and Yuchi Chifan had mentioned this matter to him.

The concubines are no longer young. It can take a few months or a year to leave. Who wants to waste the few beautiful moments left and stay lonely in the empty boudoir.

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

"Go, you all go."

Cui Che reluctantly agreed.

The second day of the first lunar month, Hengzhou.

Border garrison Zhang Zhen got up early in the morning. After washing himself briefly, he went to the backyard to feed the horses.

The young garrison who once regretted that he was only an infantryman and could not accompany Cui Che to the fortress to plunder, is now, like him, already in his thirties and has become a middle-aged man.

Zhang Zhen's family kept three horses, one war horse and two for riding. They were all borrowed from the Youzhou Governor's Mansion at first. Later, Zhang Zhen participated in the Battle of the Western Liao River as a cavalry and made great achievements.

After receiving the reward, he bought three horses.

These three horses were very valuable to Zhang Zhen, especially the war horses, which were fed 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 hasn't even fed them yet, so she's busy taking care of these beasts."

In northern Xinjiang, Han and Hu people live together, and their customs are different from those in the south of the Yangtze River.

Zhang Zhen glared and said:

"Why are you in a hurry? The general said that we should gather tomorrow. There is plenty of time tonight."

Zhang didn't know what she thought 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 patiently fed the war horse, then turned to his wife and said impatiently:

"The clothes are all packed, and I sharpened the knife and gun yesterday. I don't need you to remind me."

Ms. Zhang was still worried, so she warned:

"Nanny is still young now, so nothing can happen to you. On the battlefield, you need to be careful and don't rush too far."

Zhang Zhen curled his lips and felt that his wife was just a woman. She was timid on the battlefield, so how could she perform meritorious service? He wanted to reprimand her, but when he thought of his young daughter, he could understand her worries.

.

After all, she would have to suffer a lot as a woman raising her daughter alone.

Zhang Zhen suddenly said:

"When I come back, how about we have another baby?"

Mrs. Zhang’s face sank:

"Okay! You're just not satisfied that I gave birth to a daughter for you."

Zhang Zhen was speechless.

But Mrs. Zhang was not unreasonable. She rolled her eyes, softened her expression and said:

"If you don't follow those people's example and bring some barbarian women to your home, I can have another child with you."

Zhang Zhen was stunned when he heard this, then threw away the grass in his hand, picked up his wife, and said with a smile:

"It's better not to wait until later. Let's go have a baby now."

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

"I'm away from home, and you're not allowed to bring some wild men in."

Zhang Zhen looked haggard but solemn.

Zhang spat:

"All the young men in the military town are going to Yanzhou to strive for wealth. They have 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 and said with a smile:

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

Ms. Zhang also became gentle, and she took the trouble to remind:

"You must pay attention to safety when you go out."

Zhang Zhen's ears were 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 have you ever seen him lose a battle? With Duke Yan here, we will definitely come back victorious."

Zhang, of course, knew Cui Che's ability. If someone else had been the general manager of Youzhou, she would have stopped her husband at all costs when he wanted to switch to cavalry.

Zhang Zhen waved goodbye to his wife while his daughter was still awake. He had to wait for her daughter to wake up and had to cry and leave with him.

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