At dawn the next day.
Everyone woke up to the sound of military trumpets.
After breakfast, Mrs. Cui Zheng, accompanied by Chuntao, asked Zhao Zhenkun to be brave again. Then she found her own soldiers and sent a message to see Su Mingzhe.
In the commander's tent, Su Mingzhe was 'training' the twelve athletes selected yesterday. When he saw Cui Zheng asking about escorting the coffin back home, he laughed:
"Madam, there is no need to worry. I have just subdued five thousand soldiers and horses, and I still need to train for a few days before I can command them to escort you back home."
Su Mingzhe was just casually giving a reason, but unexpectedly, Mrs. Cui Zheng nodded in agreement:
"This is indeed how Mr. Su should be when he first takes over the military power."
Seeing that Mrs. Cui Zheng was so talkative, Su Mingzhe couldn't help but change the topic, chuckled, cupped his hands and said:
"Madam, I have an unkind request. I hope Madam will not be surprised."
Mrs. Cui Zheng thought that Su Mingzhe was seeking to marry his daughter Cui Yingying, so she couldn't help but feel a shiver in her heart:
"Master Su, please speak!"
Su Mingzhe said with a hint of humility: "After Su took charge of the military camp yesterday, he discovered that there were many plundered women from good families hidden in the camp. These women were basically insulted. If they were released directly, they would be the same as killing. .Su was wondering if he could appease them. After much deliberation, he had no choice but to ask his wife for help."
Cui Zheng didn't expect that she could refuse Su Mingzhe's 'proposal' even though she had prepared a reason, but the man actually made this 'request'.
The feeling of nothingness and force made Cui Zhengshi blush on her cheeks, and she quickly responded:
"Master Su is merciful. Please rest assured, Master Su. The Cui family has always been obligated to do such righteous deeds!"
"Chuntao, you heard what Mr. Su said. Just stay and help Mr. Su comfort those women who are suffering."
Cui Zhengshi made the mistake of being dark under the lamp.
She only knew that her daughter was extremely beautiful and stunning, and she needed to be wary of others coveting her daughter.
Little did she know that although her personal maid Chuntao was already in her early thirties, she was also very beautiful and charming.
"Yes, ma'am."
When Chuntao saw that his wife wanted to keep her, she could not refuse her in such a situation.
At this time, Chuntao secretly regretted not telling the story about Su Mingzhe's 'temptation' last night.
Sending off Cui Zhengshi.
Su Mingzhe immediately revealed his true colors and looked at the trembling Chuntao with a pair of greedy eyes.
The few women who appeared in "The West Wing", except for Cui Zheng's milfs, did not catch Su Mingzhe's eyes. The other women, whether it was the heroine Cui Yingying or the insignificant 'Xiao Ming', Or maybe the matchmaker and housekeeper Chuntao, who are supported by the plot, are all taken seriously by Su Mingzhe.
Given the slightest chance, Su Mingzhe wanted to try it out.
"Master Su, please don't do this..."
Chuntao watched the man slowly approaching. Although she knew she was in doom, she still wanted to fight.
But her soft and waxy whispers not only failed to dispel the man's thoughts, but instead made his thoughts become more intense.
"Sir, you are so eager to take in a slave. If the lady knows about it, I'm afraid she won't let you marry the lady."
"That beauty, do you have a way to help me get what I want?"
Su Mingzhe had actually already made up his mind on how to capture Cui Yingying. However, he was very happy and relaxed that Chuntao could return home so quickly and help him come up with ideas.
"This slave just has an idea."
Seeing that the man was attracted by her words, Chuntao breathed a sigh of relief, and with her moist, thick and sexy red lips, she said the method she had just thought of.
When Su Mingzhe nodded in agreement, Chuntao secretly apologized to his old owner:
"Madam, it's not that this slave surrendered to the enemy too quickly. If I don't surrender, my life will be in danger."
After apologizing, Chuntao continued to betray her old master without any guilt.
At night.
Following Chuntao's plan, Su Mingzhe found a reason to hold a banquet and invited Cui Zheng and his daughter to attend.
Mrs. Cui Zheng didn't have any doubts, so she came over with her daughter.
"lady!"
Chuntao was baptized by a man. As she walked, she twisted her waist and swayed her hips lightly. Her grace was so charming that Cui Zheng was stunned for a few seconds:
"Chuntao, what are you..."
As someone who has experienced this, Mrs. Cui Zheng can naturally tell at a glance that her personal maid and housekeeper Chuntao has completed her life transformation.
When Chuntao saw her old master, she 'forced herself to smile' and forced out a bitter smile:
"Madam, the matter has been settled. Mr. Su promised that he will send someone to take you back to Boling tomorrow."
"Send us back to Boling? What about you?"
After Mrs. Cui Zheng heard that she could leave this "dragon pond and tiger's den", she immediately felt much relieved.
However, she immediately noticed the 'speech problem' in Chuntao's words.
Chuntao has been with Cui Zhengshi since she was still with Zhengshi in Xingyang.
In the blink of an eye, more than twenty years have passed, and the relationship between master and servant is not much worse than that between mother and daughter.
When the Prime Minister of the family wanted to take Chuntao as a concubine, Cui Zheng didn't even agree, but now Su Mingzhe has harmed her.
Cui Zheng's heart was naturally full of resentment.
"Madam, Mr. Su is very kind to me."
Chuntao saw that her old master cared so much about her, and then remembered that she had come up with the idea to help the man harm her old master. For a moment, she felt guilty in her chest, and tears could not help but flow out.
Cui Zheng only thought that Chuntao was reluctant to leave her, but she didn't have any doubts.
Not long after, the banquet started and everyone sat down at separate tables.
The atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was open and it was not restrictive for men and women to have dinner together.
As a landlord, Su Mingzhe took the lead in giving the toast.
After three rounds of drinking.
Su Mingzhe called in the dancer to sing and dance for everyone.
For a while, the scene was cheerful.
After a song and dance.
Seeing the excitement in the scene, Su Mingzhe said with a slightly excited tone:
"Madam, there was wine and dancing today, and I feel very happy. However, this banquet only has singing and dancing, which makes it a little bit thin. How about we have a flower ceremony to help the party a little bit?"
The custom of drinking wine at banquets became popular during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.
However, the gameplay of "Feihua Ling" only began to appear during the Tang Dezong period a hundred years ago.
Now that a hundred years have passed, ordinary noble families will have fun when they hold banquets.
Cui Zhengshi and Cui Yingying are naturally not afraid of this.
Including Chuntao and Hong Niang, there are five people in total.
As the drum beat started, Su Mingzhe took the lead in chanting:
"Flowers are flying everywhere in the spring city, and the cold east wind keeps the willows from falling. At dusk, candles are passed from the Han Palace, and light smoke disperses into the houses of the five princes."
This is Han Hong's "Cold Food", which is relatively famous among many Tang Dynasty poems.
Cui Zheng didn't wait for the drums to sound and started chanting.
Followed by Cui Yingying.
Chuntao and Hong Niang were not troubled either.
After all, the Flying Flower Order has been popular for hundreds of years. The two maids attended various banquets with their master and were well-informed, so naturally they would not fall in the first round.
After the matchmaker, it’s Su Mingzhe’s turn again.
This went through three rounds.
The five people have already recited fifteen poems of "Fei Hua Ling".
People like matchmakers who are "uneducated and incompetent" have already racked their brains to get through with the help of their own ladies.
When Su Mingzhe saw this, he stopped for a while and called the dancer to dance for fun and to let everyone relax.
At tonight's banquet, Su Mingzhe not only wanted to show off his poems and songs, but the most important thing was to "shoot the man first, the horse" and take down the matchmaker next to Cui Yingying first.
According to Chuntao, as long as she wins the matchmaker, Cui Yingying will be like a bird without wings, unable to fly away even if she wants to.
