Chapter 251 New Year's Eve
Cui Yingying got Zhang Chao's advice and suddenly got her accustomed. She left Zhang Chao, got off the kang and put on her shoes and ran outside to find her assistant Hongzi to discuss the details.
This woman is more concerned about money than Zhang Chao, and she is almost obsessed with money. But Zhang Chao can understand that women are rich. As long as she has not done anything excessive, she can accept it. No one is perfect, and it is not wrong to love money. A gentleman loves money, and he can get it in a good way, so he doesn't do anything randomly.
It's just that no one has a massage.
Zhang Chao was planning to sleep for a while, but Du Shiniang came in. The woman seemed to have been waiting for an opportunity to observe Cui Yingying's whereabouts. As soon as she saw her leaving Zhang Chao, she immediately appeared.
Seeing her like that, Zhang Chao smiled. Women, too many women are troublesome. Cui Yingying is quite a woman-like appearance, but she also dislikes the two beards and is extremely cold to Du Caiwei. Hong Lin followed Cui Yingying closely, and had attacked both beards before. A slim little girl made the two tall beards like two child brides.
However, it is not easy for Cui Yingying to do this, Zhang Chao can understand. There is a wife, a concubine and three maids in the family. I don’t expect them to be harmonious, but as long as it is not openly incompatible with water and fire.
"Sanlang, I'll press it for you."
Du Caiwei smiled and said to Zhang Chao, very gentle.
Zhang Chao waited for her to get on the kang, put his head on her thighs, closed his eyes and said, "Okay." Then he closed his eyes and slowly enjoyed Du Caiwei's service.
It is said that from frugality to extravagance, from extravagance to frugality, Zhang Chao is really reluctant to let these beautiful wives and concubines drive them away now.
Du Caiwei pressed Zhang Chao's scalp with her fingers, and saw him showing a satisfied expression, so she took the opportunity to say, "Sanlang, can I move out?"
“Where to move?”
"Isn't there any room at home? If it's not possible, I can move in with Ameisha and the others, or live in the same room with Mingyue. Shisanniang and Hongxian don't like me, so I'm living in the same room with them every day, so I really can't live there."
"Don't worry, even if Thirteen Niang doesn't like you a little, she won't make things difficult for you."
Du Caiwei sucked her nose a few times, with a pitiful crying voice, "Sanlang, when you were not at home, Thirteenth Lady never gave me a good face. She even pinched me a few times, and her skin was blue and purple, especially at night, she always deliberately ordered me to prevent me from having a peaceful life."
These women.
"Since that's the case, then you can move in with Ameisha and Diana, where there is a warm kang, so you can save the cold sleeping on this bed at night."
"Thank you, Sanlang." Du Caiwei burst into tears and laughed.
"Then will I move now?"
Zhang Chao nodded to her, and she immediately stood up. Zhang Chao shook his hand and slapped her on the butt, causing a burst of swearing.
Seeing her excited look, Zhang Chao simply got up to help her clean up and personally sent her to the house. Zhang Qiao went there, and the two beards who were playing chess in the house quickly stood up to greet him. However, when he saw Du Caiwei carrying a bag behind him, he immediately turned cold again.
"Caiwei also lives in this house with you. Live together in the future, so don't cause conflicts and troubles."
The two beards nodded reluctantly. In this courtyard, not only Cui Yingying and Zheng Hongxian didn’t like Du Caiwei, but even the two beards didn’t like it. There was an extra woman in the courtyard, and they felt that they had been taken away from their favor.
Du Caiwei looked at Zhang Chao with a pity look, and Zhang Chao sighed in his heart that no woman is simple. Du Shiniang is also a scheming person, looking pitiful all day long, just pretending.
After waved his hand, Zhang Chao turned around and left.
In Ma Zhou's small cave, Zhang Chao came over with a bottle of Erguotou and a pack of five-spice deer-dried meat.
“Drink some.”
Ma Zhou helped open the pack of jerky meat, then took out the cup of chopsticks, picked up a piece first, "Smell."
Zhang Chao also sat down cross-legged, poured a cup of Erguotou and stuffed it into pieces.
"Sanlang took Du Shiniang last night?"
Zhang Chao nodded, blew a sip of wine, recalling the mellow fragrance of white wine.
"Du Shiniang is famous in Chang'an, and now she is the only one of Sanlang." Ma Zhou extended his thumb to Zhang Chao, admiring her very much. A flower was finally picked by Zhang Sanlang.
"There's no way, who made me handsome?" Zhang Chao said shamelessly.
Ma Zhou hehe.
"What are the plans for Saburo after the New Year?"
"I don't have any plans. While I am the director of my Bailu Academy, I write books. The scenery on Bashang is very beautiful. Then I will go to the bathing ditch to choose a beautiful scenery, build a villa in the water, go fishing and eat barbecue when you have time, wouldn't it be fun?"
"Sanlang is not planning to enter the official career again?"
Zhang Chao shook his head, "What's the best thing to be an official? I'll take someone's bowl and be under the control of him. It's better to stay in his own acre of three-point land, free and easy."
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Shuanzizhuzi got up early to get a carriage.
Today, Zhang Chao is going to go back to Cui Yingying to pay New Year's greetings with Cui Yingying. In addition, there are many families in Chang'an City who have to pay New Year's greetings. Cui Yingying was not happy about returning to her mother's home. For her, it was the happiest thing that she finally didn't have to stay in that home. However, there must be etiquette exchanges. The housekeeper arranged gifts that had already loaded several carts of carts.
There are also many bacon, ham, sausages made by the Zhang family, as well as smoked chicken, smoked duck, dried pheasants, air-dried wild boars and muntjacs, dried mushrooms and bamboo shoots, etc.
There are too many families in Chang'an City who want to pay New Year's greetings, and each family has to prepare gifts and cannot favor one or the other.
I went to the Cui family first when I entered Beijing.
Cui Shanfu heard Zhang Chao fight with Mr. Peng and others last time, but was dismissed from office and beaten twenty times by imperial edicts. He was arrested in Yongzhou prison. He didn't know how happy he was. He drank a few more drinks in the evening, and then told Wang on his pillow. Wang was also very excited and said more than a dozen good words.
That night, Wang was particularly moved. Cui Shanfu was often unable to do so, but that night, he also showed off his might, which made Wang look down on him.
When he heard the butler report, he said that Thirteen Niang and Zhang Langzi came to pay New Year's greetings.
Choi Shanfu actually said with a smile, "Please invite them in."
Zhang Chao and Cui Yingying entered Cui's mansion and found that Cui Shanfu and Wang were both smiling in the hall. They were very polite to Zhang Chao and his wife and asked about their well-being.
However, as soon as she sat down, Cui Shanfu and Wang began to sarcastically sarcastically at Zhang Chao, and deliberately pretended to be a father-in-law to teach Zhang Chao a lesson. He was so arrogant. He just became a little famous and didn't know how to be tall and strong. He fought with others and interrupted his hands. If it weren't for the Cui and Zheng family, Zhang Sanlang would have been exiled to Lingnan.
Wang also taught Zhang Chao a lesson.
The words were very harsh, and the couple deliberately took the opportunity to hurt Zhang Chao. Cui Yingying looked ugly when she heard this, and she had to have an attack several times, but Zhang Chao smiled.
After they finished speaking, Zhang Chao didn't refute anything. He stood up with a smile and said he would go to other homes to visit. He got up and patted his butt, pulled Yingying away, leaving Cui Shanfu and the others stunned.
They still had a lot to say, but as soon as they started, Zhang San left, which made the two very upset.
After leaving Cui Mansion, Zhang Chao went to Qin Mansion again.
After half a month, the Duke of Yiguo's Mansion has become more lively and even more noble.
Princess Changguang has already married Qin Qiong. There are many more people brought by princesses in the mansion, and even many traces of the festive wedding that day are left.
When Zhang Chao arrived, there were many guests at Qin Qiong's mansion.
Cheng Yaojin, Niu Jinda, Shan Xiongxin, Luo Shixin, Wu Heita, Li Junxian, He Jin, Li Shiji and other generals were sitting in the hall with floor heating and chatting.
It's the Chinese New Year, and these old brothers from Shandong are rarely gathered together. Because Qin Qiong has now been promoted to the Minister of War, and is the governor of Tongzhou and the general of the Yulin Army. Many people say that Qin Qiong has already surrendered to the crown prince.
I have a big wedding before the New Year and will go to Tongzhou to take office after the New Year.
Today, everyone did not talk about those bad topics anymore, just talked about the past and recalled the past.
Zhang Chao is here, Cheng Yaojin, Niu Jinda and others are no longer cold to him.
Li Shiji warmly entertained Zhang Chao.
"Sanlang, tell us what is the difference between the Yongzhou Prison and the Mingzhou Prison?"
"There is no big difference. The last time I and Chumo and the other four squatted together. This time there were more Wang Yongan and his gang, and they squatted for more than ten days." Zhang Chao replied with a smile.
Qin Qiong called Zhang Qiao to go, "I remember to learn a lesson about this incident. Okay, I won't say much about you for the New Year today."
Zhang Chao greeted these uncles one by one.
"It's not worth it to be a fifth-rank official before he has been a few days old." Cheng Yaojin smiled at Zhang Chao. He originally liked Zhang Chao very much, but since he became the official of the Eastern Palace, Cheng Yaojin has been a little disgusted with Zhang Chao, and he is more worried about being unable to make a living.
Li Shiji is quite protective of Zhang Chao. He already knew that Zhang Chao was going to build a new winery, so he gave his family a share and gave his third brother Li Gan a piece of land for distribution.
"Sanlang, why don't you go to Shandong with me after the New Year, the army will need talents like you very much."
The rebels of Xu Yuanlang from Shandong have been defeated by Li Yuanji and Li Shiji for several consecutive times, but they have not been able to be wiped out yet. This time, he returned to Beijing for the New Year, and received the emperor's special order, summoned him to Beijing to report his duties, and also asked him to spend the New Year with his family. After the New Year, he had to return to Shandong.
"Xu Yuanlang from Shandong is already a grasshopper after autumn. When the year passes, when the government army enters the suppression, he will be finished. There is no need for me there at all, and it is useless if I go there. Anyway, I will know some medical care. Now the military has promoted the medical regulations, and there is alcohol and white medicine, so I don't need me at all. Moreover, I don't want to be tired too much, it's better to stay at home."
"Well, I forgot that Zhang Sanlang is not only good at medical skills, but also a talented man. I have read your Three Character Classic and Zhang Family Rules. Your Zizhi Tongjian is also well written. You should just compile your history books at home with peace of mind. This is more important."
Qin Qiong said to Li Shiji, "Let him think about his mistakes at home and stay at home. If it weren't for the New Year today, I would have taught him a lesson. If it weren't for the New Year, I would have learned some nonsense. I didn't know where to learn some nonsense." Qin Qiong thought that Zhang Chao was dismissed from office. He always felt that Zhang Chao went to the East Palace to work for the King of Qin, which was too dangerous.
Now that the official is exempted, this is a good thing. Anyway, Zhang Chao is so capable. Even if he stays at home for a few more years, when the prince's battle is revealed, it will be not too late for Zhang Chao to become an official again. He is still so young.
"Actually, I really want to get Sanlang to me," Luo Shixin smiled. He is now the governor of Huazhou and the general of the cavalry. He likes Zhang Chao very much, an unusual person. "It's a pity that Sanlang is a talented man, and he has to be busy studying history. I dare not invite him."
Zhang Chao smiled and said to Luo Shixin, "Congratulations to Uncle Luo, you have been promoted again."
His eyes moved to Luo Shixin's face, and Luo Shixin, who was only a few years older than him, had a sense of confidence in success and fame. Then his eyes moved to Shan Xiongxin's face again, and Shan Xiongxin's face was also filled with joy.
Luo Shixin, Shan Xiongxin.
In his original history, one of these two peerless generals was killed by the Tang Dynasty after the defeat in Luoyang, and the other was captured and beheaded in the battle of rebellion in Hebei.
But now, they are all sitting here, chatting and laughing with everyone.
Zhang Chao was a little excited and proud. It was himself who changed the fate of these two people.
Zhang Chao smiled on his face. Many people's fates seemed to have changed. In history, Qin Qiong did not have Princess Shang or served as the governor of Tongzhou.
There was no such person as him in history, but now he is here. Thinking of this, he felt that he should actually be more free and easy, and he didn't have to look back and live a free life.
Recommend the book "I Have an Emperor's Clan" for the Good Engine Oil, and the author who is as powerful as Muzi, is awesome in both worlds!
