Huang Ying just remained silent, and Dakui continued: "Look, I invited the chef from Zuixianlou to make these two dishes. You can taste them first." Seeing Huang Ying, Dakui ignored him.
Then he walked around to Huang Ying and sat down to persuade him: "You should take a few bites, not only for yourself but also for the sake of the child in your belly."
Huang Ying said softly: "Then you feed me, otherwise I won't eat!"
Hearing this, Dakui stretched out his hand to pull the tray closer as if he was obeying an imperial decree. Then he picked up a piece of lamb with his chopsticks and brought the mouthful of lamb to Huang Ying's mouth with his other hand. Huang Ying smiled proudly.
, opened his mouth and ate the lamb that was fed to his mouth. Dakui very wisely took a bite and gave it to Huang Ying. Even so, his heart was a bit sweeter than Huang Ying's heart.
Da Kui has been an elder brother since he was a child. After his father passed away, Da Kui took on the important responsibilities of the family at a young age. Until he returned from Tiantai Mountain to study arts, his mother asked people around every now and then to find a wife for Da Kui.
Nowadays, his parents are no longer alive, but Dakui is already at the peak of his career. I can't help but think of what Brother Tang once said: A tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop; a son wants to be filial but his relatives are not there.
Da Kui always thought that if Huang Ying could give birth to a fat and white son for him, then the Zhang family would have a heir.
"Eat more oriole, you'll be full. I'll give birth to a son soon~" Dakui babbled while feeding Huang Ying. Unexpectedly, when Dakui said these words, Huang Ying stopped talking.
have eaten.
Dakui couldn't help asking: "Why don't you eat?"
Huang Ying complained: "If it were my daughter, wouldn't you be happy?"
Da Kui laughed loudly and said: "It would be good if I had a daughter as beautiful as you. But when I grow up and get married, I will have to pay a hundred taels of gold as a betrothal gift, hahahaha."
When Dakui was feeling proud, Huang Ying stretched out her hand and grabbed Dakui's ear and shouted, "If I give birth to a daughter, you will sell it, right?"
"No, no, no, madam, you have misunderstood, please let go." When Huang Ying let go, Dakui rubbed her painful ear and said, "People say that boys are like mothers and girls are like fathers. If a daughter is born like me, who will?
Do you want it?" Seeing Huang Ying being amused, Dakui continued: "So I said, it's better to have a boy. When the time comes, a fat boy with a pretty face will be like nothing when he grows up!"
Huang Ying sneered and said, "Pan An!" Dakui quickly nodded in agreement.
Huang Ying asked with a smile: "You know who Pan An is, so you nodded."
Dakui chuckled and said, "I also heard what others said. Madam, do you know more details?"
Huang Ying smiled proudly and said: "That's natural." Da Kuilian said that she would like to hear the details, and Huang Ying said: "Pan Yue, also known as Anren, commonly known as Pan An, was a great writer in the Western Jin Dynasty. He showed his talent when he was young and was praised by the villagers.
He is called the 'Strange Boy'. His appearance is, if not the most beautiful thing in the country, then it is the most beautiful thing in a city. Because of his outstanding beauty, there are many allusions to him."
Dakui asked anxiously: "What's the allusion? Madam, please tell me."
Huang Yingqiao smiled sweetly: "Pan An, a naughty young man, liked to go out to Luoyang City with a cowhide slingshot. When the women saw it, they held hands and surrounded them, competing to throw fruits. This is the origin of the 'fruit-throwing cart'
.Nowadays, whenever Pan An is mentioned, it can be said that every woman and child knows about it, even fools know about it.”
Dakui was stunned for a moment, then Jie Jie laughed and said, "You think I'm a fool?"
Huang Ying laughed and said: "You are a fool, otherwise why would you call me a fool?" Then she snatched the chopsticks from Dakui's hand and went to take a bite of fish to eat.
The craftsmanship of Zuixianlou is the best in Suzhou and Hangzhou. It is sweet and sour, delicious and fat but not greasy. It is soft and mellow in the mouth. Huang Ying nodded happily after eating it in her mouth. Unexpectedly, Dakui came over with a shy face and said: "I want to eat too
." Upon hearing this, Huang Ying stretched out her chopsticks and picked up another piece of the fish plate. But Dakui said: "You eat first, and then feed me."
Huang Ying's face turned red when she heard this, but she still put the fish in her mouth. Da Kui saw the opportunity and stretched out his head to hold the fish in Huang Ying's mouth together with Huang Ying's two cherry lips. After lightly biting and licking, the two of them were already
It's shortness of breath.
Dakui stood up, hugged Huang Ying by the waist, and walked into the inner room. Huang Yingjiao gasped and warned: "Don't be anxious, don't hurt my fetus." Seeing Dakui's eagerness, Huang Ying couldn't help but remind her.
Dakui said breathlessly: "I asked the doctor, and the doctor said it's okay."
Huang Ying said again: "Then you must not suppress me."
Dakui chuckled and said, "Madam, don't worry, I know how to trick Zhang Fei into tricking horses and old men into pushing carts."
While they were talking, Dakui had arrived in front of the bed with Huang Ying in his arms. Huang Ying was confused but asked: "What is Zhang Fei cheating on the horse and the old man pushing the cart?" Although Huang Ying and Dakui are husband and wife, they are also involved in the matter of men and women.
I know very little. Now when I heard Dakui talk about Zhang Fei tricking the horse and the old man pushing the cart, I was confused and asked him.
Dakui said while taking off his clothes: "You will know in a moment. Hahahaha"...
After running around for days, Dakui was a little tired, so he hugged Huang Ying and slept until the next day.
The yellow warbler slowly woke up, but lay on Dakui's body like a bird clinging to a human. She pressed her face against Dakui's chest, feeling the generosity and peace.
"Are you awake? Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Dakui had been awake for a long time, and when he saw Huang Ying waking up, he immediately asked.
Huang Ying said leisurely: "I can see that you have something on your mind, so you might as well talk to me. Maybe I can help my husband solve your problems."
Dakui looked at the gauze tent and said slowly: "I sent out reconnaissance cavalry to report back. Master Feng and I and others compiled the secret reports from various places into two rosters. Once these two rosters are reported to the King of Wu, they will definitely cause a bloody storm. At this moment, I
But I don’t know how to deal with this matter.”
After hearing this, Huang Ying persuaded: "You sent people out to inquire, wasn't it just to get the real evidence of these people's crimes? Now that you have succeeded, you are so merciless? There are many officials in the south of the Yangtze River. It is reasonable for King Wu to kill so many corrupt officials.
, why does your husband still tolerate it?"
Dakui said seriously: "There are not just a few people here, but thousands of lives." Dakui paused and said again: "Master once said that it is a great merit to be able to persuade people to return to their lost ways. The means to solve problems are not only
It's killing."
When Huang Ying heard what Dakui said, she had no idea. But then she raised her head and looked at Dakui and said, "If the King of Wu learns that you have two rosters with you and you fail to report it, wouldn't it be against the king's order?"
Dakui sighed: "This is exactly what I'm worried about. Many people will die if I hand you over. If you don't scream, you will be asking for trouble. What should I do?"
Huang Ying said without hesitation: "My husband can take this list with him to the capital, report it to the King of Wu, and advise the King of Wu. In this way, he will do his best and obey the destiny."
Hearing this, Dakui nodded and said, "Then I'll leave immediately." After saying that, he stood up to change his clothes. Before leaving, he turned back to Huang Ying and said, "I'll be back in a few days. Don't worry." Huang Ying sat on the bed hugging a thin blanket.
Watching Da Kui take the wooden box containing the roster and go out...
Da Kui rushed to Yingtian with only the dog's remains, stones, brooms, dustpans, and benches. To ensure safety, Da Kui personally took the wooden box containing the roster memorial with him. This was also a helpless move. If the guards around him went
It's still barely usable for doing things, but once you meet an expert, it becomes useless.
Dakui has a heavy responsibility, so if he has time, he should teach these people a lesson.
Six riders, Juechen, went all the way north through Yingtian, and did not stop at any villages or towns on the way. Birds and beasts in the mountains and forests along the way had already been frightened and scattered when they heard the eagerness of the horses' hooves. The six men from Dakui rode without stopping, and they arrived at Yingtian Mansion in just one day and night.
Although Yingtian was still a prosperous scene at that time, groups of soldiers could often be seen passing by in the streets.
A war is about to begin. The King of Wu is now preparing to raise his troops for the Northern Expedition. Chang Yuchun has crossed the Yangtze River and occupied the entire Wuwei County (state) in the north of the Yangtze River. He will only wait for the King of Wu to give the order and will send his army northward. The reason why the King of Wu has no fate
Chang Yuchun went northward without a doubt, he had given careful consideration to it. The Ming army in the north of the Yangtze River currently numbered only over 100,000, and there were often wars in Chuzhou, Yangzhou and other places. If Chang Yuchun went northward alone at this moment, he would undoubtedly be in danger.
Da Kui doesn't care about all of this. What Da Kui wants to do now is to write this chapter as soon as possible and deal with the corrupt officials in Jiangnan one by one. Whether to kill or behead is not what Da Kui should worry about. This should be
Now it’s the matter of King Wu. Today, Tang, Brother Tang and even all the Ming generals are already very busy, arranging the army to prepare for war. Dakui is very sensible, and it is not convenient to go and disturb him. Dakui went straight into the palace to meet him.
Met with King Wu.
King Wu was also quite busy. Dakui waited in the side hall of King Wu's palace for nearly three hours before King Wu summoned him. King Wu was so busy that he almost forgot about Dakui. It was almost midnight when Dakui saw King Wu.
Still in King Wu's study, Dakui saw two people. King Wu Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting behind the desk in the main hall and was chatting with the two people. Dakui entered the study and saluted King Wu as usual.
"Zhang Aiqing came just in time, take a seat." King Wu smiled and motioned for Dakui to sit aside.
Dakui stood up and sat down under the two people according to King Wu's wishes. Dakui didn't recognize any of the two people, so he couldn't help but look at them deliberately.
Kong Wu, a man with powerful arms and legs, was wearing a crimson robe and a crane was flying on the chest. On top of his head was a black gauze hair crown, but he was dressed as a civil servant. If it weren't for his attire and the little beard under his lips,
Beard, Dakui would really think that this is a general in his prime, or at least he would have been a general before. Although this man has a tough appearance, his eyes show that he must be a calm and wise man.
The other man had tall cheekbones, a face like a crown, and eyes as bright as stars. The most eye-catching thing was the half-foot floating beard under his chin. Although this man was also dressed in red robes, Da Kui saw that there was a distinct pattern on his chest.
There is an angry lion embroidered on it, but this man is dressed as a military attache.
According to the official dress system of the Ming Dynasty, these two people were in the first rank. But Dakui had never seen these two people before, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
At this time, I heard King Wu chuckle and say: "Come on, come on, I will introduce you." King Wu actually stood up and walked around the desk, and Dakui and the other three people also stood up to wait. King Wu Zhu Yuanzhang arrived
When he came closer, he first pointed at the civil servant and said, "This is the Censor Zhongcheng and Taishi Ling, who is also my king's think tank, Liu Ji and Liu Bowen."
