After welcoming Diao Chan, Ouyang Yinying, Guan Ning, and Bing Yuan, Gao Fei headed back home and got into Diao Chan and Ouyang Yinying's carriage while the others cleared the way outside.
The carriage was covered with a layer of quilt and it was a relatively closed place, which made the temperature rise. Gao Fei could already feel the warmth on his body, rubbed his hands to maintain a constant temperature, and said to Diao Chan who was nestled next to him.
: "After I left Liaodong, did you sisters live well?"
Diao Chan did not answer, but nodded gently, and the little bird snuggled into Gao Fei's arms, enjoying the remaining warmth that had not been felt for a long time.
Ouyang Yinying sighed, glanced at Diao Chan and Gao Fei, and said nothing.
Gao Fei said: "Xiaoying, why are you sighing?"
Ouyang Yinying opened her mouth and replied: "I am complaining for my sister. My brother has been gone for more than half a year. Can you please let my wife..."
"Xiaoying!" Diaochan sat up slightly, winked at Ouyang Yinying, and scolded softly.
Ouyang Yinying pouted and muttered: "Sister, I am doing this for your own good. Since my brother asked me, I should answer truthfully. You are indeed enduring the pain of lovesickness! You are thinking about your brother every day.
, but my brother left you in Liaodong and ignored you, I can't stand it."
"Xiaoying, my husband is on official business and has to be busy with big things. I understand that, please stop talking nonsense." Diao Chan looked at Gao Fei lovingly, with a hint of sadness on her face.
Gao Fei gently took Diao Chan into his arms, pursed his lips and pressed a kiss on Diao Chan's forehead, but did not pay attention to Ouyang Yinying who was sitting opposite.
Seeing Gao Fei and Diao Chan being so close, Ouyang Yinying couldn't help but blush slightly on her face. She turned her head and looked aside and said softly: "If brother really cares about my sister, he won't make another engagement with anyone else..."
…”
"Sakura! Stop talking, it's normal for a real man to have three wives and four concubines. Besides, my husband has always been very good to me..."
"Sister, how many times have you cried for your brother, and how many nightmares have you had at night? If you don't tell me, how will your brother know? You miss your brother so hard, but your brother is engaged to someone else. I will do it for you, sister.
It’s unfair.”
"Xiaoying, you don't have to worry about my affairs. As long as I can stay with my husband for the rest of my life, I will be satisfied."
Gao Fei said nothing. Listening to the conversation between Diao Chan and Ouyang Yin Ying, he already figured out what was going on. But entering into an engagement with Cai Yan was a matter of great benefit and harmlessness. This month
Later, Cai Yong wrote a lot of letters to his disciples. More than a dozen Confucian scholars came from other states and counties, basically all of them were talented people who governed the local area. There were eleven counties in Youzhou, nearly a hundred counties, and now there are still
There are more than 20 counties that do not have county magistrates and can only have part-time governors.
He sighed and just held Diao Chan tightly in his arms. Wanting to change the atmosphere, he asked casually: "Xiaoying, how are you studying with Guan Ning and Bing Yuan?
"
Ouyang Yinying said: "Brother, please rest assured, I study very hard. As long as it is taught by Mr. Guan Ning and Bing Yuan, I can learn it quickly."
Gao Fei said: "After arriving in Jicheng, you should study with Cai Yong for a while. With these three famous scholars teaching you, and then dabbling in some military matters on your own, you can become a female military advisor in less than two years.
Already."
Ouyang Yinying said: "Brother, don't worry, Xiaoying will not disappoint brother's expectations. I just ask brother to be nicer to my sister. In terms of appearance, I dare say there are few people in the world who can compare with my sister. Put it this way
Wouldn’t it be a pity for my brother if his beloved wife doesn’t want her?”
"What do you guys know about things between men and women? I made an engagement with Cai Yan, but that was for the sake of Youzhou. Anyway, you will understand my intentions in the future." Gao Fei scolded softly.
Ouyang Yinying.
Ouyang Yinying was unconvinced, pouted her lips, and stopped talking.
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Diao Chan whispered: "Husband, calm down, Xiaoying is still young and not sensible..."
Seeing Gao Fei's livid face, Diao Chan stopped trying to comfort him, and her voice became smaller and smaller, gradually turning into silence.
Not long after, the convoy entered Jicheng. The expansion work outside Jicheng also came to an end temporarily due to the wind and snow. The peasants also received their wages, and were given travel expenses and some dry food to go home, waiting for the beginning of spring.
, and then proceed with the expansion work.
Gao Fei asked Guan Ning and Bing Yuan to be sent to the Juxian Pavilion first, while he took Diao Chan back to the Prefectural Mufu. The others also returned to their respective mansions to rest first and wait for the banquet in the evening.
After getting off the carriage, Gao Fei took Diao Chan down and took Diao Chan's hand into the mansion. Every soldier guarding the door was surprised by Diao Chan's appearance wherever he passed.
Gao Fei asked someone to arrange a room for Ouyang Yinying, and he personally carried Diao Chan into the room, lit a coal fire, and the room became warm and cozy in a short while.
After taking off her heavy clothes, Diao Chan showed off her graceful figure, which made Gao Fei a little bit unable to help laughing. At this time, Diao Chan was no longer the thin Nangong palace maid of the past. After a long period of pampering in Liaodong,
Her whole body became plumper than before, and she even grew a lot taller.
"My dear, you are more beautiful than before." Gao Fei sat on the edge of the bed and stared at Diao Chan lovingly. He noticed that Diao Chan's skin was smoother than before, her complexion was rosier than before, and even her breasts seemed
A little bigger than before.
Diao Chan smiled sweetly and asked: "Am I still the same person as before? What's the difference?"
Gao Fei smiled. When he and Diao Chan got married, Diao Chan was still a young girl of fifteen or sixteen years old. Now after two years of changes, Diao Chan has become mature. She no longer has the youthfulness of a girl, but has more...
A bit of femininity.
The coal fire in the room was burning brightly and was very warm. The man and woman on the bed had been separated for more than half a year. As soon as the fire was lit, the two people hugged each other and soon became entangled in each other.
As evening approached, Gao Fei and Diao Chan were still naked on the bed, clinging to each other. Two equally young bodies, two people who cared about each other equally, actually had sex five or six times in one afternoon. A long separation was better than a new love.
There is indeed some truth to this statement.
Diao Chan hugged Gao Fei's neck and pressed her face against Gao Fei's chest, with a happy smile on her lips.
Gao Fei also had a happy face. He found that Diao Chan had indeed changed and became more feminine than before. She also knew how to take the initiative to cater to him when having sex, which made him feel very happy. His hand was on
Diao Chan gently caressed her breasts, and suddenly felt something in her heart. She said to Diao Chan beside her: "My dear, let's do it again..."
Diao Chan snickered and nodded, her face filled with happiness beyond words...
Time passed quickly, and it got dark before he knew it. Gao Fei lay limply on the bed. Hearing Gao Lin's cry outside the door, he asked, "What's going on?"
Gao Lin said outside the door: "My lord, the banquet has been prepared. All the adults and generals have almost arrived. We are just waiting for my lord to attend."
Gao Fei was a little obsessed with bed, but big things are big things after all. He lifted Diao Chan's chin, kissed Diao Chan's little mouth, and said to Diao Chan: "My dear, I'm going to meet all the adults. I'll have the wine and food brought in later.
, you and Sakura will eat in the room, and I will find some maids for you, and they can take care of your daily life."
Diao Chan said: "Husband, I don't want a maid. I used to be a palace maid. I can do anything. I don't need anyone to serve me, so I don't want it anymore."
Gao Fei thought for a while and said: "Yes, how can the majestic Marquis and his wife not have anyone to take care of her? Since you know that maids are not easy to do, just treat them better."
Diao Chan felt that what Gao Fei said was reasonable, so she nodded and agreed.
Gao Fei got out of bed, Diao Chan put on a tulle, put on Gao Fei's clothes, then lay down on the bed again, smiled at Gao Fei, and watched Gao Fei leave.
At this time, in the banquet hall, both civil and military officials gathered together. The last person who was responsible for conducting house searches in other places also rushed back at noon today. The remaining dissident forces in Youzhou were all cleared out, and everyone in Youzhou, no matter whether they were ordinary people or not, came back.
The common people or the wealthy gentry, wealthy families, nobles, and aristocratic families have all gathered their strength, their hearts are flying high, and no objections can be heard anymore.
Although Gao Fei adopted a high-pressure policy, this high-pressure policy was indeed very effective. Two important towns, Fanyang and Tianjin, were established in the south. In the north, there were Dai County, Shanggu, Yuyang, Youbeiping, Liaoxi, and Changli counties along the Great Wall in the east.
There are Pang De, Chu Yan,
Shenyang, Tieling, and Fushun were guarded by Yu Du, and Lelang County and Guoyuan were guarded by Hu Yu in the southeast. Wang Lie always maintained a subtle relationship with Goguryeo in Liaodong. The entire Youzhou was completely stable this time, and the remaining
What matters is the development of various places.
For Gao Fei, this strategy of seizing the country first was very successful. He was also very happy. The property confiscated by wealthy merchants amounted to hundreds of millions. Jicheng became a major place for the entire Youzhou to store grain, grass and money.
, the next step is to recruit troops, research inventions, produce weapons and equipment, and recruit talents.
As soon as Gao Fei entered the hall, everyone present stood up and worshiped Gao Fei in unison: "See you, my lord."
Cai Yong, Guan Ning, and Bing Yuan also felt the stability of Youzhou. Unknowingly, they all had high hopes for Gao Fei and regarded him as their lord in their hearts, even though the three of them only taught.
, do not participate in politics, but they are soft-spoken. After all, their food, clothing, and shelter are all thanks to the efforts of Gao Fei, so the three of them will naturally not say anything, and everyone knows it.
"Everyone, we are gathered together today. Please don't be polite. Today is the first heavy snowfall since the beginning of winter. It is said that auspicious snow heralds a good harvest. I hope that next year's crops will have a good harvest, and our Youzhou will be more stable and harmonious.
Prosperity." Gao Fei held the wine glass high and said with joy on his face, "Come on, let's drink this glass to the full!"
