Feng Yong was actually not too worried about the fact that someone in Nanzhong wanted to take advantage of the Wei State's massive invasion of the Han Dynasty to cause chaos.
Because this matter is most likely part of Zhuge Lao Yao's plan.
But even though Zhuge Qiao was the son of the prime minister, how could he know such state secrets?
As for Ma Su, although he has a certain vision, he is nestled in a ravine with little information. Without enough information, how can he analyze the overall situation?
If he could know in advance that someone in Nanzhong wanted to be a rebel and respond at the same time, that would be considered a strategic move.
Let Zhuge Qiao come back in person, firstly, to get the exact news about the Wei-Han war as soon as possible, and secondly, just in case.
If something unexpected happens, something will happen in Nanzhong. At that time, Zhuge Qiao can use his connections to remind the prime minister to prepare early.
After all, the Meng Huo Couture gang rebelled against his joints and bones, causing the big man to almost collapse.
In the view of Ma Su and others, if there is a big defeat externally and chaos internally, although the situation may not be as serious as that in the first year of Jianxing, there will definitely be another turmoil in Shu.
Feng Yong originally wanted to give Zhuge Qiao some advice, but he didn't know what Zhuge Qiao had planned, so he could only give vague hints:
"Brother, don't worry. I think the Prime Minister has already planned this."
Then we made an appointment with him again, and after a while of busy work, the two had a good time together, and then they parted.
After returning to Nanzheng's house, Li Mu came out and welcomed Feng Yong into the house:
"Alang is back?"
"Well, it's still cold outside. You should put on a coat when you go out."
It was probably because it was too warm inside the house, so Li Mu only wore a thin woolen sweater, and did not put on a thicker coat when he went out to greet him.
The tightness of the sweater left her figure exposed.
Li Mu, who comes from a noble family, does not have as developed chest muscles as Guan Ji, but she has the most typical appearance of a classical beauty.
It's well-proportioned from top to bottom, making people feel harmonious and comfortable at first glance, just like...ahem!
Li Mu helped Feng Yong take off his outer robe, and then brought a bowl of hot soup over:
"When I heard that Alang was back, I was anxious to go out, so I forgot to wear an extra layer."
"What are you anxious about? Are you anxious to see me?"
Feng Yong was in a good mood. He looked at Li Mun's dappled smile and started teasing.
When Li Mu heard Feng Yong's words, his face turned slightly red, his face was ashamed, his eyes flickered, and he did not dare to look at Feng Yong.
The maid knew the opportunity and quickly bowed and exited.
When there were only two people left in the room, Li Mu bit his lip, then gently leaned over, his eyes filled with autumn water, and he said softly:
"When I was in Nanxiang, there was not a day when I didn't think about Alang. I just wished I could be by Alang's side every day. Now that I got my wish, I was anxious to see Alang..."
It was rare for Madam Mu, who was always so powerful to the outside world, to act like a little girl, which made Feng Junhou feel a little anxious.
"The imperial court has rewarded me with three concubines this time. Then you will receive the imperial salary."
As Feng Yong spoke, he stretched out his hand and gently slid it across Li Mu's cheek, feeling as if he was touching gelatin.
Before Qin, only princes and the like were qualified to marry concubines:
"Who is my nephew? If the princes of one country marry her, then the two kingdoms will go to her and take my niece as my nephew. Who is my nephew? She is my elder brother's son. Who is my niece? I am my younger brother. If the princes marry nine girls at a time, they will no longer marry her."
But after Qin unified the world, there were no more princes, and the concubine system began to change.
Wealthy people can also decide who will be their concubines privately.
But it is obvious that the quotas for the three concubines in the Feng Mansion are different this time.
It was an antique gift. Not only did it need to be registered with the government, but the court also provided money and food to support the Feng family.
After all, Feng Junhou also has the character "hou". Although he is not a prince, he is still a prince.
There is no nine-year-old woman, but three-year-old women are possible.
Of course, these three concubines are not all ancient rituals, because the ancient etiquette also said: "Whenever a prince marries a daughter, she should have the same surname as concubine, but not if she has a different surname."
After all, hundreds of years have passed, and times are changing.
Even if Amei and Li Mu don't have the same surname as Guan Ji, the court has said that they are concubines, and that means they are concubines that cannot be refuted.
Which of those aristocratic families doesn't have concubines? They have to choose them themselves!
Are they worthy of following the ancient rites?
The imperial court provided money to help the family raise concubines. Thinking about it, I feel that this feudal era is really...corrupt, corrupt!
While Feng Junhou was thinking about it, his hand involuntarily slid to other places.
Li Mu raised his head to make it easier for Feng Junhou to move his hands and feet.
When Feng Junhou said this again, his face flushed and his breathing became a little rapid:
"It's all thanks to Alang!"
As he said this, he couldn't help but crawl into Feng Junhou's arms.
Li Mu was indeed very dignified outside on weekdays, but secretly he never stopped scolding her for being a lowly concubine and showing off all day long, for being a shameless person who corrupted customs.
Although this doesn't hurt Li Mu in the slightest, it always makes people feel alienated.
Now that the imperial court has given her such a status, no matter how much someone hates Li Mu, they will no longer be able to use her status as an excuse.
When you become a concubine, it also depends on who you marry.
Being a concubine to Feng Junhou, even the wife of another family, without a certain status, is not qualified to appear in front of her.
Thinking of this, Li Mu's breathing became more rapid.
She just felt that the room was too hot and her body felt a little hot.
Then he couldn't help but lower his head and buried his head deeply in Feng Junhou's arms...
"Hiss..."
Feng Junhou suddenly widened his eyes, took a breath of cold air, and then hugged her.
I don't know how much time passed, but Feng Junhou was leaning on the couch in the back room. Li Mu was still curled up in his arms, but he no longer had the strength to move.
"Tomorrow, help me prepare a batch of clothing materials, brocade clothes, gauze clothes, and sweaters. There are also some soaps and secret fragrances. I am going to give them away."
Feng Junhou entered the sage time and finally began to think about business.
"Um."
Li Mu didn't raise his head, just murmured from his nose.
With the development of the breeding industry, although soap is not yet available in the market, it is still available within Xinghanhui.
With enough soap, soaping is much easier.
Of course, soap can only be supplied to a few families.
After all, ointment is so expensive, and it’s too late to replenish it for laborers who do heavy work, so how can they be in the mood to buy these fancy things?
Just use it in your own home, don't waste it in other people's homes.
"Who is Alang giving such a heavy gift to?"
Li Mu may have been drained of energy, and his brain was much slower than usual. After a while, he turned around and asked sleepily.
Except for a few close friends, soap is not yet in circulation even within the Xinghan Association.
Not to mention the secret fragrance, it is something kept secret by the Feng family. Only Amei knows the formula and specific production method.
I heard that the raw materials must be shipped from Nanzhong.
The reason why Li Mu has this kind of secret fragrance in his hand is because Nanxiang is a mixed bag of good and bad people, and information from all parties is gathered here.
Sometimes secret fragrance is very convenient in discovering secrets.
"To a man."
He was said to be a real man, but combined with Feng Tubian's wretched smile, it made Li Mu's heart skip a beat.
In the following days, with the announcement of Feng Junhou's reward, Feng Yongshao had to continue socializing for several days.
In the end, he arranged a lot of banquets, and finally found an opportunity to reminisce with his old brothers such as Li Yi, Zhuge Qiao, and Huang Chong.
As the weather continues to warm up, the atmosphere in Hanzhong becomes more and more lively.
Compared with the fiery atmosphere in Hanzhong, Xiping, which is located on the border, is still in the cold season.
The ice and snow have melted halfway, and the cold air is rising from the ground, making the soles of people's feet numb from the cold.
Liu Liang wore a sheepskin hat, curled his neck, and wrapped himself in a long and thick down jacket. Like a rare beast unique to the mountains and forests of Shu, he opened the door to his home.
Have no idea!
He has lived in the south since he was a child, and most of the time it was the Shu region where snow was rarely seen in winter.
I didn’t feel that much when I first came to West China, but in the second year, I felt like I was going to freeze like a dog!
Of course, Liu Liang felt that he was already a dog now, and he was still the kind of male dog in Feng Wenhe's livestock and dog farm.
"Alang is back?"
As Chinese with a strange accent rang out, a woman came out from the wing behind the gate to greet him and took him in.
He helped Liu Liang brush off the snow particles on his body, and then took another robe that had been heated for him to put on.
A bowl of hot soup was also served.
After a series of actions, Liu Liang felt that the cold air was swept away from inside to outside.
It would be better if such virtuous women could have a more pure Chinese accent and a closer look to Han women.
Yes, the woman in front of him is one of his newly married concubines.
Others said that Liu Langjun was a man of great courage, but he lived in dire straits every day.
But few people think that the Hu people and Han people have lived together in the Huangshui River Valley for hundreds of years at least.
He's not the kind of guy who doesn't even understand Chinese.
What's more, if the Hu tribe wants to go one step further and transform into a local wealthy family, learning Chinese language and following Chinese customs, that is the only way to go.
Even if your studies are neither fish nor fowl, you can still communicate with each other, right?
The most important thing is that these five women were carefully selected from large tribes.
No matter what, he is still the most handsome person in the clan.
Although I am not completely satisfied with Liu Langjun, for example, some skin may be a bit rough, some body odor may be a bit strong, etc.
But at least from a distance, his appearance is passable.
For example, the woman in front of me was sent here from the Bald Hair Department and is the younger sister of Bald Khotan.
I heard that her ancestors moved from the far north to Monan, and then mixed with the Xiongnu, Xianbei, etc. Finally, her mother was attracted by a bald man and gave birth to her.
It's true, but it's not true, so it doesn't matter.
As long as she represents the baldness department.
When a woman marries into her husband's family, she takes her name from her husband's family.
Liu Liang saw that her skin was not bad, the snowy skin was reddish and not rough at all, so he named her Snow Lady.
"Is there someone at home again?"
Liu Liang regained his breath, glanced at the carriages and horses outside, and asked.
"Yes, someone gave me a gift."
Xue Niang replied.
"Oh, the tribe sent someone to send something over again? Just accept it."
Liu Liang said nonchalantly.
It is not without benefit to take a Hu girl from a big tribe.
For example, my mother's family is very down-to-earth and often sends things to my home, such as cattle, sheep, horses, wool, furs, etc.
On the surface, it was said that he wanted to buy something for his daughter.
In fact, it was a gift to Liu Liang.
The dowry and gifts that Liu Liang collected in the past two or three months could be enough to build a ranch.
There is no way, the Hu people are willing to marry the daughter of the clan, isn't it because of the resources in Liu Langjun's hands?
Liu Langjun has a lot of say in the annual supply of grain, wool, spirits, etc., and even the pastures that have begun to be divided in the south of the Huangshui River Valley.
Selling a woman from the clan in exchange for a good life for the clan is a good deal no matter how you look at it.
Liu Liang always had to be cautious when doing things in the past. He was afraid that Feng Zhaobao wouldn't like him. After he got the handle, he would drill him into a lesson. How could he dare to accept gifts openly?
Now, this is a body gift given to my concubine by someone from my concubine clan, why shouldn’t I accept it?!
I've already given my body to the bearded girl, what else do you want?
Who doesn’t have three relatives? How about accepting some things from relatives?
What's the matter!
If you can, tell me not to marry these barbaric girls!
A noble family member of the royal family has been suppressed to the point of being out of breath by a country bumpkin named Feng in the past few years. If Liu Langjun wants to say that his psychology is not distorted, it is simply abnormal.
Of course, this way of releasing distorted psychology may be a bit abnormal in the eyes of others.
"No, no, not from the clan, but from Longyou, Hanzhong..."
Xue Niang usually has no problem speaking Chinese, but when she gets anxious, it becomes a bit difficult to understand.
I saw her gesticulating, saying it several times, and pointing inside. Only then did Liu Liang finally understand:
"The person who gave the gift hasn't left yet?"
"No no."
Xue Niang shook her head quickly.
Liu Liangliang was suspicious, so he stepped out of the penthouse and walked along the corridor to the front hall.
When he entered the front hall and saw the person coming, he was immediately surprised:
