Chapter 314

Hua Rong was stunned, but he was still kind: "OK, I only bought some bits and pieces, only spent 100 passes, and I'll give you the rest 600 passes."

"No, you keep it. I'll try again."

"What can you do? Where can I spend so much money alone? I have rice at home, and I don't need to buy anything."

"No, you have to leave a hundred pocket money."

"Really not. I have nothing to spend." When she saw her husband insist, she said, "well, it's enough for me to keep fifty passes. Anyway, in less than half a month, you still have your salary."

Yue Peng heaved a long sigh, "I've suffered seventeen elder sisters."

She casually went to serve tea, took advantage of the situation, poked his hand away, smiled and said, "are you thirsty? Drink a cup of herbal tea. The weather is hot. Is there anything happening to Yang Meijun, and how long will it take to win?"

Yue Pengju wiped the sweat on his forehead, took a sip of herbal tea, and said, "I'm waiting for the best time. Maybe, when we do the Qiao Niang thing, it's our chance."

She picked up the nearby palm fan to fan him and said, "hehe, it won't be long."

"Sister seventeen, you're tired, too. Let's have a rest early."

"Well, if your eye disease doesn't heal, stop early and I'll read a little more."

"OK. I'll go to bed first."

This night, Hua Rong has been sitting quietly in the study At midnight, Yue Peng opened his eyes and found that she did not come back

Zhang Jun was in charge of the army camp. The news that he defeated Yang Yao by land and water really excited him for a while. He was busy presenting awards to the meritorious soldiers and men, making a lot of noise But then, Yue Pengju no longer moved, nor launched any attack, nor any military action

He asked Yue Pengju from time to time, but Yue Pengju did not have a clear timetable for the general attack He was born as a scholar, and now as the imperial court's assistant, Wen Zunwu is inferior. Naturally, he is not willing to ask Yue Pengju every day, but he is happy to summon a group of literary staff under Yue Pengju Li Ruoxu, Xue Bi, sun Ge and other scholars became his guests, but they could not give him more military information

One day, Zhang Jun and the main officials of Jinghu South Road were drinking plum juice to relieve the summer heat while discussing the military situation Two soldiers stood beside him and fanned him. He was still sweating, and said, "the weather is too hot. I can't stand it. I've been here for more than a month, but I didn't see the essentials of breaking the enemy. It's like falling in a fog."

At that time, many generals, in order to coerce the imperial court into allocating more money, food, and troops, often deliberately refused to send troops when the military situation was urgent. Zhizhou Xuyi suspected that Yue Pengju was also a fierce enemy of supporting troops. He was a little suspicious, so he took the opportunity to say, "my lower official thought that I might as well ask Yue Xianggong to make it clear."

While talking, an official Xu came in and reported that a gold plate in front of the emperor had been handed over to the imperial edict It turned out that the emperor zhaodeji ordered Zhang Jun to return to Lin'an to discuss autumn defense The Jin army used to attack the Song Dynasty in the autumn season. It had been used to for many years, and it was called "autumn siege". Zhao Deji was frightened by the Jin Wushu army. Seeing that the summer was half over, he was eager to arrange for the attack of the Jin army He believed that if Yang Yijun could not be pacified for a while, he would wait until next year

Zhang Jun showed the imperial edict to Xue Bi and others. Xue Bi said anxiously, "now there is a great drought, soldiers and fire around Jinghu Lake, and I'm afraid that money and food will not be able to continue after autumn. This time, Duke Zhang and Duke Yue fought against Huxiang personally, and I'm afraid they should not return in vain. After the drought, the people on this road must be hard, and come again next year, for fear that money and food will not be available. Duke Zhang might as well call Duke Yue to come and see what his arrangements are."

Hearing this politely, Zhang Jun immediately summoned Yue Peng to the governor's mansion to discuss the military situation

Yue Pengju took the main generals of his subordinates, Zhang Xian, Wang GUI, Yu Peng, and so on, to the governor's mansion. Zhang Jun greeted them and sat down. He showed Zhao Deji's hand. Straight away, he said, "the holy monk himself returned to the court as soon as possible to arrange autumn defense matters. I don't know if Yue Taiwei has a chance of winning the decisive battle against the water invaders?"

Yue Pengju took out a large map from his sleeve and spread it on the book case in front of him. He said, "this is the result of the discussion between the lower officer and the generals. Please read it, Mr. Zhang. This is the calculation."

When Zhang Jun looked, he saw many mountains and rivers, including QingCaoHu, outlined with ink lines on the map, and also marked the directions of the 33 stockade fences left by Yang Meijun He couldn't see what this was, but he didn't want to say that he didn't understand it, so as not to be despised by these generals. He said, "I think Yang Yao was defeated, but his nest is deep, and there is no opportunity. Yue Taiwei might as well stop the troops for the time being, arrange the defense in the upper reaches of the river, and wait for the next autumn and winter to attack on a large scale. In this way, his family must also return to the DPRK and be ordered."

Yue Pengju said, "why do you need the next year? Please leave more time for Zhang Xianggong. Yue Pengju should break the water invaders within eight days, and he will not delay Zhang Xianggong's return to the court."

After hearing this, Zhang Jun was surprised and asked, "Yue Taiwei must not have made a big statement?"

Li Ruoxu couldn't help but say, "Yue Taiwei has already discussed everything with his family. Xianggong Zhang needs to know that Yue Taiwei has never been a liar."

Yue Pengju explained, "if an officer attacks a water invader with a water invader, he must be successful."

He briefly explained his plan once, and Zhang Jun listened with dubious doubts, saying, "in that case, I will stay in Tanzhou for half a month to see Yue Taiwei and the soldiers break the enemy."

Yue Pengju said calmly, "please remove the day of coming and going. In eight days, the lower officer will present Yang Yao and Zhong Ziyi to the governor's mansion. During this period, the lower officer should also invite all adults to a small banquet."

"Oh? What feast?"

"A simple banquet."

Zhang Jun was still skeptical at this point, but he could only say, "may Yue Taiwei succeed and win."

Although Hua Rong no longer participated in her husband's military deployment, she was by no means a woman who was deaf to things outside the window. She naturally paid attention to it. She learned that although her husband seemed casual these days, she actually made great efforts to make careful deployment. Now, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed

She originally wanted to go out to buy, but the clever woman could not make bricks without straw and could not buy anything. She only wandered outside every day. Hearing her husband summon Zhang Jun, she was still a little worried and went home early As soon as I got home, I saw my husband and Li qiaoniang talking and laughing Li qiaoniang's voice was subtle and gentle, while her husband was smiling She also didn't know what psychology it was. These days, looking left and right, she always felt that her husband looked at Li qiaoniang with affection, as if two men and women were really in love

She stood for a while and sighed in her heart. She was a few years older than Peng Ju, and she was a withered flower and a withered willow. Maybe she really didn't deserve Peng Ju

In a trance, I heard Yue Pengju's cry, "sister seventeen, come back."

She tidied up her mood and walked in, but Li qiaoniang gave a bashful salute and took the opportunity to leave

These days, Yue Pengju doesn't know why he cares about the money and food in the family. He always asks her whether she has enough money to spend. He tells her that she doesn't need to live frugally. He says that it's OK to spend all the money. Anyway, the salary is coming Because there is only fifty yuan, and I'm afraid Peng Ju will find it difficult to raise money if he finds that the money has been spent Therefore, she could only pawn a few good clothes and jewelry she had, but it was still a drop in the bucket She worries about money every day. Gradually, she can't even feel sadness, and her anxiety is very numb

Yue Pengju looked at her clothes. Before he opened his mouth, he heard a loud voice at the door: "Yue Pengju..."

Her face changed and she almost gnashed her teeth. "King Qin, why are you here?"

Yue Pengju disapproved: "I invited him."

Hua Rong watched King Qin come in helplessly and sat down across from him King Qin glanced at her and was a little surprised at her eyes A few days ago, I saw her wearing such a beautiful light green silk shirt. Today, it is an ordinary household clothes, and it is the kind of cloth clothes that ordinary people wear

Although it was only a change in clothing, he felt uneasy vaguely These days, he stayed inside and outside Tanzhou city partly because he admired Yang Yao's ship. Just like an alcoholic who saw good wine, he was determined to get the real key technology of shipbuilding so that he could go back and expand his power The other is worried about the change of flower dissolving But he obeyed Hua Rong's request and didn't dare to get too close to her, and he didn't know what happened

Hua Rong saw that he kept looking at himself, his face as gloomy as summer clouds

King Qin had to look away, but Yue Pengju talked and laughed with him: "this war, Yang, I want to use a weapon, King Qin, do you have any experience?"

"Haha, I'm best at this..."

The two talked like this for a while King Qin didn't stay much because of Hua Rong's face, so he got up to leave As he was about to leave, Yue Peng raised a smile and said, "King Qin, please come to the banquet tomorrow."

"Oh? What feast?"

"Ordinary family dinner."

King Qin saw that Huarong's face was going to drip out of water. At this time, the situation changed, and he even smiled instantly: "King Qin, come on."

King Qin had not seen such a smiling face for a long time. He felt something was wrong with the boss, so he nodded and agreed

As soon as king Qin left, Yue Peng stood up, but seeing his wife's gloomy face, he was surprised and said, "sister seventeen, what's the matter with you?"

Hua Rong could no longer suppress the humiliation in her heart, and almost shouted, "why do you invite King Qin? Why? You know that he is my enemy..."

Yue Peng held his patience: "King Qin is not your enemy!"

Not the enemy! However, why is it so embarrassing to call a person like King Qin to witness with his own eyes the "lover" he chose to rely on for life, and happily marry another woman, and take a concubine to have children?

Hua Rong saw the disapproving smile on her husband's face, and felt a chill rush up from the bottom of her feet, as if she were not a lover, but a hypocritical and fickle demon For a while, she wanted to suppress the humiliation in her heart, but she couldn't suppress it anyway. She shouted, "no, I firmly don't agree to invite him!"

"Why not? He's also our friend. Seventeen sister, you don't have this measure?"

Is he warning himself of jealousy?

"Sister seventeen, you need to know that this is the woman sent by the emperor and the Empress Dowager. I can't refuse. Naturally, I have to actively prepare for it..."

I used to refuse, but now I can't refuse She still insisted, "No."

Yue Peng raised his voice and said in a deep voice, "sister 17, I used to depend on you for everything. This time, you have to depend on me."

She also raised her voice, "I won't agree."

"I'm in charge! You can't do it if you don't promise. Besides, you promised King Qin yourself just now."

Hua Rong was angry and pointed to his nose, "get out, you get out today!"

Yue Peng raised a smile: "Seventeen sister, this is the camp of the lower official!"

She was stunned, and then she realized that it was she who should go, not Yue Pengju This is his territory!

Tears rolled in her eyes, but she swallowed them raw and said slowly, "OK, I'll go."
