Chapter 203 The husband sings and the wife follows
Ganjingzhuang, Weinan County, Guanzhong.
Cui Jie became more and more accustomed to living in Zhuangzi. Like Li Qinzai, she even had the illusion that she should belong here...
The Tang Dynasty is not considered a prosperous age, but the simplicity of the people is even better than that of the Tang Dynasty.
The enthusiasm and friendliness of the bankers can often make a stranger feel a sense of belonging.
After the beginning of spring, the Weishui River thawed, and the men from the farmers went to the river to fish. After returning home with a full load, they threw two fish in Cui Jie's yard. Cui Jie felt bad and chased after her to ask for money.
The honest man from the banker smiled and waved his hand, and walked away quickly, refusing to accept the money. It was just a matter of convenience. There was no reason to charge for something given by God.
After the spring rain, mushrooms and bamboo shoots also appeared in the mountains and forests. The women went into the mountains together to look for some mountain products. If they were lucky, they could occasionally catch rabbits. They would give Cui Jie some of the money later, but they still refused to accept the money.
They are obviously poor farmers, but money has become tacky in their eyes for some reason, and is replaced by something full of human touch.
Today I will give you two eggs, and tomorrow you will give you a piece of bread in return. As we go back and forth, we chat with each other a few times, and the relationship becomes deeper and deeper unknowingly.
Cui Jie likes it here more and more.
This kind of love has nothing to do with the man she loves, it is purely a love for this kind of pyrotechnic human touch, poverty but fulfillment.
If Li Qinzai had not appeared in her life, Cui Jie would still firmly live here and live a simple and simple life.
Compared with the rich but indifferent old house of the Cui family, this place is much better.
After the beginning of spring, the snow on the road melted, and my brother Cui Sheng came more frequently.
Knowing that Li Qinzai went out with the army and Cui Jie was alone and helpless, Cui Sheng was worried and often came to Ganjingzhuang with a car full of food and daily necessities.
The brother's offer was so generous that Cui Jie couldn't use it, but she didn't refuse it either.
She gave the things given by her brother to the villagers. The Zhang family gave two pieces of tanned sheepskin, and the Li family gave two kilograms of exquisite pastries from Chang'an City.
The farmers couldn't refuse, so they thanked him profusely, and at the same time they didn't forget to reciprocate the favor. From time to time they would throw two fish and a basket of mountain products into the yard.
Coming and going like this, Cui Jie has completely integrated into the village. The villagers have gradually regarded her as a member of the village. Even the aunt of the Li family who never leaves home and devotes herself to Buddhism has gone out twice for the first time.
, take a special look at this legendary niece-in-law.
It's spring and flowers are blooming. The weather is getting warmer and warmer, and a few unknown wild flowers appear in the soil around the yard.
Brother and sister Cui Sheng and Cui Jie were sitting in the yard, chatting wordlessly.
"It's not a problem for someone with no name or status to live in someone else's village. After Li Jingchu comes back, he has to give an explanation." Cui Sheng frowned, very dissatisfied with his sister's decision to insist on living in the Li family's village.
Cui Jie lowered her eyelids and her face turned red unconsciously: "He... will give an explanation."
Cui Sheng snorted, glanced at her, and said: "You have been quiet and gentle since you were a child, but this time you have done something extraordinary. Remember, this is only once in your life. If you get married in the future, if you dare to act like this again
, the Cui family will never recognize you again."
Cui Jie frowned slightly: "Why should my brother speak so harshly? Can't a woman have her own ideas?"
Cui Sheng hummed again: "Don't tell me this, tell your future husband."
After a pause, Cui Sheng continued: "After Li Qinzai returns, it's time to set a date for your marriage. Don't tell me that you haven't made up your mind yet, or I will really whip you."
Cui Jie's face turned red again, she lowered her head and said shyly: "I... listen to my brother."
Cui Sheng sneered and said: "I'm afraid you have forgotten how stubborn you were when you ran away from home. You vowed never to marry a playboy from the Li family in this life, and ended up falling in love with him."
"Now what are you saying about listening to your brother? Oh, the two elders deserve to worry about you two, but you just sit back and talk to each other. Isn't that hypocritical?"
Cui Jie became more and more embarrassed and was so ashamed that she lowered her head and whispered: "Brother, please stop talking. I have realized my mistake and will no longer be willful. Who called...that guy has such a bad reputation, but he just..."
"But he is quite talented, and his conduct is actually not that bad, right?" Cui Sheng continued with a half-smile.
"Brother, do you think so too?"
Cui Sheng almost made a sound, but he held it back in front of his sister.
This elder brother-in-law has never liked his brother-in-law. There is no reason. He just doesn't like her. They are born with different horoscopes.
"Yes, I think so too." Cui Shengpi hummed with a smile.
Cui Jie believed it to be true, her almond-shaped eyes curved into crescent moons happily, and she smiled: "It was indeed right to decide to stay in Zhuangzi at the beginning. After getting along with him for a long time, you will know his true temperament and whether he can be trusted with you for the rest of your life."
Cui Sheng was silent for a moment and suddenly said: "Before I came here today, I heard a news in Chang'an City. That kid made another meritorious service in Baekje."
Cui Jie was stunned for a moment, then she was overjoyed: "He has always been so powerful, what achievements have he made?"
Cui Sheng snorted and said: "I heard that I have made a new gadget. It is related to gunpowder. It is mixed with iron pieces and fired. After a loud noise, it can knock down a large number of enemies."
"Sun Renshi, the commander-in-chief of the Navy, sent someone to send this object to Chang'an, and jointly asked Liu Rengui to take credit for him. His Majesty was so surprised that the officials and generals of the Ministry of War in Chang'an practiced new formations every day. It is said that in the future, the Tang Dynasty will use foreign troops
The formation and method will be changed by this object.”
Although he was reluctant, Cui Sheng still sighed: "Li Jingchu's talent is truly worthy of his reputation. I am still very convinced of this."
Cui Jie's face blossomed into a smile, and she couldn't help but show off her arrogant look: "My husband... well, of course he is a good person for his parents."
Cui Shengleng saw his sister's happy expression and couldn't help but want to ask her if her face hurt.
Sighing, Cui Sheng added: "But there is still bad news, just listen to it."
Cui Jie's smile froze: "What's the bad news?"
Cui Sheng said in a deep voice: "This morning, Baekje Kingdom sent a military report. Li Jingchu led more than 60 naval warships and more than 6,000 soldiers. He originally returned to Dengzhou in the Tang Dynasty under the military order of Sun Renshi, but the military report said
Li Jingchu's troops lost their way at sea and landed on the Japanese main island by mistake. His Majesty was furious and the outcome may be bad."
Cui Jie turned pale and said in a trembling voice: "Did he get lost at sea? Is there any danger? The Japanese country is at war with the Tang Dynasty. If he mistakenly lands on the Japanese island, wouldn't he be alone and without help?"
Cui Sheng snorted coldly: "Do you believe his lies?"
"Is not it?"
Cui Sheng sighed: "I'm afraid you are the only one in the world who believed his lies about getting lost at sea and landing on the Japanese island by mistake. Oh, he did it on purpose. His purpose was to disobey military orders and lead more than 6,000 soldiers to land on the Japanese island.
Kill it to pieces."
Cui Jie opened her eyes wide in shock, full of confusion.
Cui Sheng shook his head and said: "You don't understand the matter of men fighting and killing. In short, His Majesty Long Yan was furious because of Li Jingchu's disobedience. I'm afraid he will be held accountable when he comes back."
Cui Jie frowned and said: "He is not an impulsive person. He has already made great achievements. Why can't he return to Dengzhou and take the risk of leading his troops to land on the Japanese island? I think he must have his reasons and reasons for doing this.
If Your Majesty punishes people without even asking, how can you convince the public?"
Cui Sheng burst out laughing: "You haven't married yet, so you just want to follow your husband?"
Cui Jie didn't care about being shy, and the expression on her pretty face became more and more determined: "If he is questioned by His Majesty after his return, I will be the first to refuse to accept it and will definitely plead for his justice! He has never been an impulsive person, even if he did something extraordinary.
There must be a reason for everything."
"Even if your Majesty wants to punish someone, you must listen to his reasoning before deciding what to do."
Cui Sheng secretly sighed, how could a woman be so fickle? The way she was willing to die rather than obey, and the way she is now sharing weal and woe, are two extremes.
The same person, also got into trouble. He used to be called a scum and a playboy, but now he is trying to redress his injustice.
My sister has been living in Zhuangzi these days. What kind of ecstasy soup did that bastard pour into her?
Sighing listlessly, Cui Sheng said: "Excuse me, there is a second military report today. After Li Jingchu led 6,000 soldiers to land on the Japanese island, he swept across the Japanese country in more than ten days. Now nearly half of the Japanese country has been occupied by him.
The country is about to be destroyed. Your Majesty has turned his anger into happiness, and maybe he will be promoted."
