Chapter 526: Flowers are similar every year, but people are different every year

In the main hall, Zhang Yue's face was covered with a warm towel, and he was resting his head on the lotus leaf support of the Taishi chair with his eyes closed and meditating. Riding a horse on a cold day is a fatal activity, not to mention that he couldn't even sit down in Zhangjiakou Fort.

Before he could sit down, the officers all had loud voices. As a result, he was unknowingly affected and started to speak in a roaring manner. At this moment, his throat was still hoarse and dry. His sore and sore feet were comfortable.

Soaking in the boiling hot water, a pair of deft hands were rubbing and pressing each acupuncture point, and he felt the fatigue draining away from his body. There was a warm atmosphere in the room, which made people relax unconsciously.

Come down.

"Master!"

Hearing the familiar voice outside, Zhang Yue woke up, wiped his face with a hot towel, and then said to Qiu Hen who was busy: "Lao Peng is here, I can just soak here by myself.

You go and wash your hands, make two bowls of strong tea, and add some hot water to this basin." He originally wanted to tell Qiu Hen to go to bed first, but when he saw her nodding vigorously as if she was afraid of missing something, he changed his mind.

He said, "By the way, I'll give you some soup and cover it in your bed. Although there is a heated kang, it's colder here than in the capital at night."

Qiu Hen responded with a happy expression on her face. She picked up the towel on the side and wiped the water droplets on her hands. Then she got up and opened the door curtain and went out. Immediately afterwards, Peng Shisan entered the house and saw

Zhang Yue rubbed his shoulders and grinned, and couldn't help but joked: "Young Master should know by now that the most difficult thing in the world is not studying and taking the imperial examination, but the training in the army. A trip to Zhangjiakou.

I'm afraid the oily skin on your legs has been worn out too, right? Since your back is sore, why not let Miss Qiuhen give it a good squeeze later, as those two, Lian Hu and Lian Hu, won't be able to handle this!"

"Wordy!" Zhang Yue glared at Peng Shisan angrily, then pointed to the chair next to him and asked him to sit down, and then asked, "How were things during the day? All those merchants are experienced.

Son, I’m afraid it’s hard to deal with those tricks.”

"Not only are they difficult to deal with, they are simply bullying me, a tall and thick man, for not being able to use my brain!"

Peng Shisan sat down carelessly, and immediately said with a chuckle: "Some are testing how long you, the governor of Xuanfu, can last, and whether you can let the emperor restore the mutual market. In fact, what is more important is to restore the civilian market; some are beating around the bush and talking about the Tatars.

There are many horses, and it is more cost-effective than raising them in the Central Plains; for others, it is much more straightforward. I simply quietly asked the Tatars if there was internal strife. They were all waiting in the west wing at that time, and I asked the two boys to wait in the east wing.

From time to time, I would converse in Mongolian, and someone would always hear me. Of course, I have ordered that we step up our defenses."

If Zhang Yue hadn't known that Peng Shisan was not a foolhardy person, he would have really thought that Peng Shisan had suffered a loss after hearing these last words. He smiled and shook his head, tapping the right side of his head gently with his fingers.

"Even if there are spies in Xuanfu City, the number of spies will never be large, and they will not take the risk of being exposed to kill people in the city. After all, this is right next to the General Military Mansion."

He rushed in rashly, and if he failed, his other spies would be implicated..."

While the two were talking, Qiu Hen entered the room again. She was holding a small and exquisite tea tray. She first handed Zhang Yue a cup, and then turned around. Before she could say anything, Peng Shisan reached out his hand.

He took the other cup and drank it all in one gulp. After finishing the drink, he realized that the tea seemed a little different, and he couldn't help but smack his lips and savor it.

"This doesn't seem to be the tea we brought from the capital before?"

After Qiu Hen brought the tea, she went outside and brought a pot of hot water in. She first asked Zhang Yue to take his feet off the copper basin, then poured hot water into it little by little, and then tested the temperature with her hands. When she felt it was just right, she put the copper basin in.

Putting the pot aside, she squatted down and used hot water to wash Zhang Yue. When she heard Peng Shisan's words, she raised her head and smiled.

"This is a recipe that Miss Wu Wu and Dr. Feng worked out. It is said that it can relieve fatigue and promote fluid production. Drinking a few more cups at night can refresh you, but will not make you sleepy. What's more, it can be brewed with any water, and there are no precious medicinal materials.

So before the servant came, the young mistress specially asked her to bring several cans, and she sent two cans to Marquis Wu'an, and two cans to my aunt, and now there are still two cans left."

After hearing this, Zhang Yue smiled at Peng Shisan and said, "Old Peng, if you like it, just take it out and brew it on weekdays. We eat a lot of meat here in Xuanfu, but we rarely eat vegetables. We don't drink much tea."

It’s really not possible. No wonder the extraoral parts of the body are most concerned about tea bricks. Without tea bricks, they would only eat meat and milk all day long, and how could they bear the greasiness!”

"So, if Arutai is now rebellious, how can other Tatar chiefs be happy? At least there will be less tea bricks in this war. Now that the news of the arrival of the Tatar envoy has been spread, I'm afraid it will spread outside the mouth.

Not only is Arutai worried, but other chiefs will also take action. If they are divided, they will be swept away when the soldiers arrive, and the outcome of this battle is uncertain."

Zhang Yue is not worried about losing this battle. He knows that the prairie is also like the change of dynasties in the Central Plains, with tribes rising up one after another. Xiongnu, Turks, Uighurs, Khitans, Jurchens, Mongols... Today's Tatars

It's just a Mongolian army. Even if it is completely crippled and destroyed in this battle, there are still three Wala tribes watching from the side. So the best way is to be soft-handed and hard-handed, just like the world police in later generations negotiate while negotiating.

Reasoning and suppressing sanctions at the same time must be a two-pronged approach.

Therefore, after hesitating for a while, he whispered to Peng Shisan: "The Beijing camp has recently gathered for military training, and the important affairs of the Xuanfu have come to an end for the time being, so Zhou Bailing will take people back to Beijing tomorrow. He will

Let's go. In the eyes of others, I have lost an arm, and it will be much easier to perform small tricks. Those merchants will probably come tomorrow, so you might as well pretend to be embarrassed and tell them that I will go there again in the next few days.

Zhangjiakou Fort, and we will borrow a hundred sergeants from the General Military Mansion to accompany us."

After just a brief thought, Peng Shisan immediately understood: "As long as you say this, those smart people will think that the young master is escorting the special envoy back to Tatar via Zhangjiakou Fort?"

Seeing Zhang Yue nodding with a smile, Peng Shisan stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, I will train those four boys tomorrow and make some arrangements. It's me who borrows the troops from the General Military Mansion.

Go ahead, make sure everything is properly arranged! It’s getting late now, so I’ll go back to bed, and the young master should go to bed early tonight, so don’t mess around for too long!”

The first one was okay, but the last sentence was completely wrong. Seeing Peng Shisan sneak out of the room, Zhang Yue had to angrily throw away the towel he had just thrown out. He felt that the strength on his feet was stronger than before.

It was a little heavier, and he couldn't help but look down at Qiu Hen, who was still squatting on the ground, but he only saw that her face was flushed, and the blush extended from her cheeks to the root of her neck.

Qiu Hen heard Peng Shisan's teasing just now, and was happy in her heart, but she didn't dare to raise her head even more. Linglong beside the second wife got married, and the pearls and peony beside his own wife also had their owners. Although their lives were

They all live a good life. If she wants, she can choose a good one among servants or outsiders to marry. However, she has been serving Zhang Yue since she was a child. She doesn't know when she started to put her heart in it.

She was in his body, and there was no room for any other man except him. She knew that she was just a girl, and she also knew that she could only occupy a small place in his heart, but she still hoped to keep it.

"Qiuhen, you were in such a hurry along the way, you should have rested early when you arrived, and you were still busy following me."

Qiu Hen, who was thinking wildly, suddenly heard these words, and stopped for a moment, then quickly explained: "The eldest lady and I set out last morning and rested all night in Huailaiwei. The carriage was stable

Very well, I didn’t feel very tired as the slave chatted with the eldest lady along the way. Besides, before leaving, the madam and the young mistress calculated the time. Tomorrow would be the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. If it hadn’t been for the slave’s persuasion, the eldest lady would have

I still want to travel day and night and arrive at Xuanfu early in the morning!"

It’s the Little New Year tomorrow? Doesn’t that mean it’s the New Year’s Eve soon?

Zhang Yue was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but narrowed his eyes. Since leaving Kaifeng, every year of his life seemed to be very different. The first year was in the British Duke's Mansion in Nanjing. At that time, he was dealing with the matter of his uncle Zhang Xin.

And worried; the second year was at the British Duke's Mansion in Beijing, when the British Duke Zhang Fu was seriously ill; the third year was in Qingzhou, he and Du Wan spent the New Year together, that night was really lively and warm;

The fourth year was a family reunion in Nanjing. My parents, sister and wife were all there. Watching the fireworks all night was really impressive. The fifth year was at a big house in Beijing... Unknowingly, it is already the sixth year?

It really lives up to that saying, flowers are similar every year, but people are different every year.

"So fast..."

"Master, what's so fast?"

Zhang Yue, who had come back to his senses, saw Qiu Hen looking up at him, so he smiled and shook his head: "I just said that time flies so fast, and I am in a different place every year. By the way, I remember when I taught

When you wrote this, I was not as tall as you, but now I am a head taller than you."

After hearing this, Qiu Hen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. In this moment, she didn't even notice that Zhang Yue had snatched the towel. When she came to her senses, she quickly went to the back room to get new shoes and socks. She didn't care about Zhang Yue.

The more she said something, she just put on the cotton socks herself, then took the pair of cotton shoes that she had made with every stitch, and carefully put them on his feet. At this moment, she only dared to think about it in her heart.

Or maybe the words I talked to Amber suddenly came out.

"Master, I have always wanted to say that I am willing to stay and serve you for the rest of my life."

She buried her head and picked up another shoe and put it on Zhang Yue, and whispered: "I don't need any status, as long as I can stay in the young master's house, I will be a girl all my life. I am a fool, and there is no young mistress."
