Xie An's wife Liu Dan received a letter from her niece Xie Daoyun in early October. She learned that Xie Daoyun was five months pregnant and could not bear the long journey, so she decided to stay in Yecheng to give birth and return to Jiangdong next summer. Xie's wife Liu Dan was very happy.
Worried that there were no experienced Wen women in the north, she hired two Wen women in Jiankang and ordered a steward of the Xie Mansion to lead eight private soldiers of the Xie family to escort him to Hebei to deliver Xie Daoyun's baby.
There are also Liuxu and two other maids——
After nearly two months of long journey through wind, frost, rain and snow, the group arrived in Yecheng in the middle of the twelfth lunar month. At this time, the talented woman Xie Daoyun was already pregnant and much plumper than before. She saw her third aunt traveling all the way to send Po Wen there.
Delivering her the baby was both grateful and funny. How could such a huge Yecheng city not have an experienced Wen Po!
Jizhou Sima Su Qi asked Chen Caozhi for leave at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month and wanted to return to Pingyu to attend the wedding of his sister Su Hui and Cai Tao, the son of the Cai clan leader. Chen Caozhi prepared a generous gift and gave it to him——
Wu Meng and Liu Laozhi originally wanted to rush back to Pengcheng to visit his old father years ago and also get married. His fiancée was the daughter of Dai Xun, the prefect of Qiaojun. The wedding date was February 18th next year. However, Su Qi left Jizhou and Liu Laozhi
This Wu Meng career required him to stay in Yecheng. Su Qi promised to rush back to Yecheng before the eighteenth day of the first lunar month next year so that Liu Laozhi could take leave and return to his hometown to get married.
After more than a year of governance by Chen Caozhi, the eight counties in Jizhou are now peaceful and stable in all directions. The barbarians and barbarians are in uniform, and the people can go about their business. Between the eight counties and hundreds of counties, there is a pavilion in twenty miles and a post in forty miles. Industry and commerce
Jia Pei was constantly on the road, studying in prefectures and counties, and reciting poems and books. The Cui family of Qinghe, the Xue family of Hedong, the Zheng family of Xingyang, the Lu family of Fanyang, the Wang family of Taiyuan, and the elders of the Xianbei tribe all respected Chen Caozhi and
Fear, Chen Caozhi was the greatest contributor to the Jin army's northern expedition to the Central Plains. He defeated the Qin army in Mianchi, defeated the strong and defeated the 40,000 Dayan cavalry in a last-ditch battle on the north bank of the Yellow River in Wen County, and defeated the Xianbei Tuoba tribe in the White Horse Battle of Jinyang.
He dared to cross the Great Wall and went south, and his illustrious military exploits were widely publicized. As a state official, Chen Caozhi was also very effective in his governance. He was honest in government, promoted education, promoted barbarians, and emphasized agriculture. He was able to win over some local powerful people and attack some, making him the right leader of the state.
Handsome and intimidating.
Another winter turned to spring. In the middle of the first month, Su Qi returned and Liu Laozhi asked for leave. In early February, an edict from the Eastern Jin Dynasty arrived, announcing that Chen Caozhi, the governor of Jizhou, would return to Beijing to report on his duties. As the governor of one side, if there was no
When recruited by the imperial court, one cannot return to the capital without permission. At the end of last year, Chen Caozhi went to the imperial court to express his intention to return to the capital to see the emperor——
On February 16th, Xie Daoyun successfully gave birth to a daughter, named Chen Feiyu. Xiao Feiyu was born with clear eyes, black and white eyes that looked at people, and her eyebrows were exactly like Xie Daoyun's. Chen Caozhi said happily: "I have a new baby in my family."
What a talented woman."
The birth of a daughter by the governor's wife was a big event. When Xiao Fei was bathed in the three dynasties, the house was full of congratulatory guests. Now the officials in Yecheng knew the true identity of the green-shirted literary official. It turned out to be a famous and talented woman singing Xu!
Wing Guard General Shen Chiqian came specially from Gong County to congratulate Chen Caozhi on the birth of his daughter. When he learned that Chen Caozhi would leave for Jiankang in April, Shen Chiqian said happily: "Master Chen, my disciple will marry Yingchuan on April 12th."
As the daughter of Governor Gao is his wife, he did not dare to work for Master Chen, but since Master Chen has to return to Jiankang, he has asked for a roundabout way to Luoyang to attend his disciple's wedding. This disciple will be greatly honored."
Chen Caozhi smiled and said: "Very good, I will come with Chen Zisheng when the time comes."
…
At the beginning of March, Chen Caozhi ordered people to prepare his luggage for Jiankang. Chen Caozhi wanted to transport five million yuan, eight thousand bolts of silk, and sixty thousand grains of wheat as tribute to the emperor. Jizhou was the largest city in Hebei.
The state should set an example for other states and pay taxes to the imperial court——
One night in late March in late spring, Chen Caozhi was teasing Xiao Feiyu at Xie Daoyun's side. Xiao Feiyu was only more than forty days old. She laughed whenever she was teased, and her eyes narrowed very much like Xie Daoyun's. Although Chen Feiyu was Chen Caozhi's second
There are three children, but Chen Caozhi, the younger brother and sister Chen Bozhen and Chen Fangyu, have not met until now, so they are particularly fond of Xiao Feiyu and come to visit whenever they have free time, which inevitably leaves Murong Qinchen in the cold——
Rouge Warrior Sanuer appeared in front of the door and called: "General Chen——"
Chen Caozhi handed Xiao Feiyu to Xie Daoyun and stood up. Xie Daoyun said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, go and accompany Qinqin. She seems to be in a bad mood these past two days. It must be because we are about to return south."
When Chen Caozhi walked out of Xie Daoyun's room, Sanuer said: "General Chen, Mrs. Qinqin is crying. General, please go and have a look." Sanuer had always called Murong Qinchen princess, but now she finally changed her tone.
Chen Caozhi followed Sanuer to the small courtyard where Murong Qinchen lived. The palace on Bingjingtai was vast, with more than ten courtyards and more than a hundred rooms——
Murong Qinchen was lying on his side on the short couch in the study. There were Mao's poems that he was copying on the desk. Chen Caozhi walked over and sat beside the couch. Murong Qinchen did not turn around, but turned his back to Chen Caozhi.
Curled up, with slim waist, round hips, and exquisite curves——
Chen Cao said: "Qinqin, please prepare your luggage and follow me to Jiangdong the next day. You can also visit your mother and brother."
Murong Qinchen still didn't turn around, but her body twitched slightly, obviously crying secretly. Chen Caozhi gently touched her waist and called "Qinqin" several times before she suddenly turned around and lay down on her back.
Chen Caozhi cried on his chest: "I am sick and feel extremely uncomfortable, but you don't care -"
Chen Caozhi patted her back and asked, "What's wrong with you? Where are you feeling unwell?"
Murong Qinchen said with a tearful voice: "I have been vomiting all over the body in the morning these past two days, and also vomited during meals. I feel like I am going to die."
Chen Caozhi's eyes widened, he took Murong Qinchen's right hand and said, "Don't cry, calm down and let me diagnose your pulse."
Murong Qinchen put away her tears and asked Chen Caozhi to diagnose her pulse. She saw the smile on Chen Caozhi's face getting deeper and deeper, and she couldn't help but said coquettishly: "I'm sick, and you still smile!"
Chen Caozhi held up her face, kissed her on the lips, and said with a smile: "It's not an illness, it's because you are going to give birth to a child for me."
"Ah!" Murong Qinchen's beautiful blue eyes suddenly widened and he said, "I don't think Sister Daoyun would vomit like this when she was pregnant with Xiaofei."
Chen Caozhi smiled and said: "Not every pregnant woman will vomit. Dao Yun felt tired and sleepy at that time."
Murong Qinchen stopped talking. He folded his hands and covered his lower abdomen. His face looked half-smiling but not smiling. He was a little crazy. But when he heard Chen Caozhi say: "Qinqin is pregnant, then there is no way to go to Jiangdong." Murong Qinchen couldn't go to Jiangdong.
He quickly said: "I want to go, I want to go to Jiangdong."
Chen Cao said curiously: "I have tried to persuade you several times but you still refuse to go with me. Why do you want to go all of a sudden? You are pregnant. It is not good to travel such a long distance. You should stay in Yecheng. I will arrange for someone to take care of you."
Good on you."
"No, I want to go back to Jiangdong with you. I want to visit my mother and brother." Murong Qinchen said stubbornly, but then asked: "Husband, is it really bad for me to travel a long distance like this? Will it be detrimental to me -" Having said this, I am embarrassed and laughing.
Chen Caozhi's trip to Jiangdong took four months and back, and he also had to go back to Qiantang to visit relatives. Moreover, he could not leave immediately after meeting the emperor in Jiankang. I am afraid that before he returned to Yecheng, Murong Qinchen would She had already given birth, and Qinqin didn't have any close relatives around, which really made him feel uneasy, so he said: "It's not that important, okay, you can come with me, but I can't ride a horse."
Murong Qinchen was very happy. When she slept with Chen Caozhi that night, she asked Chen Caozhi to name her unborn child. Chen Caozhi smiled and said, "You are impatient. Bo Zhen doesn't even have a formal name yet. Let’s collect them together when we return to Jiangdong.”
…
Because Shen Chiqian's wedding will be held in Luoyang on April 12th, Chen Caozhi's convoy returning south set off on March 25th, but Ran Sheng from western Liaoning had not arrived yet. Chen Caozhi warned Su Qi, when Ran Sheng arrived in Yecheng, told Ran Sheng to meet him in Luoyang on April 12th.
Shi Cuizhi, the governor of Hebei, led a group of officials to send Chen Cao off to Zhangshui. Chen Caozhi solemnly entrusted Cui with his government affairs and told Su Qi to always pay attention to the movements of the Western Qin Dynasty before waving goodbye.
This time Chen Caozhi went south to Jiankang, including 15 civil servants, 800 sergeants, and 1,500 civilians transporting money and grain. After crossing Zhangshui, Jizhou Farewell Lu You led 500 sergeants and a group of soldiers. Fifteen hundred civilians and nearly a thousand carts went to Liyang, where they crossed the river and then passed through Yingshui River to Huainan. Taking the waterway was much more labor-saving——
Chen Caozhi, his mother and daughter Xie Daoyun, Murong Qinchen and others, as well as a group of subordinate officials, went to Wen County under the escort of three hundred cavalry. From there they crossed the river to Gong County. Ran Sheng led 200 light cavalry to catch up with Chen in Wen County. After a visit, Ran Sheng was very happy to see his brother and sister-in-law, and saw Chen Feiyu who was less than two months old.
Shen Chiqian sent people to meet Chen Cao and his party in Gong County. They hurried on their way and arrived in Luoyang just before noon on April 12th. Huan Mi, the governor of Sizhou, and Shen Jin, the prefecture commander, came out of the city to meet him. When Huan Mi was appointed to lead the army I have known Chen Caozhi for a long time, and I have great respect for Chen Caozhi's talents. I am very happy to see him again.
Huan Mi arrived in Luoyang in July last year and was ordered to rebuild the palace and the government offices. Now more than half a year has passed, and the city of Luoyang has changed greatly. The tall city wall of twenty miles around has been built first, and there is also a lot of construction work in the city. Huan Wen got it in Yecheng last year Most of Murong Ping's huge family wealth and the property of the Yan State Treasury were used for this. The Jin Dynasty had no money to allocate, but Huan Wen was not stingy, because Luoyang City would be the capital of his Huan Dynasty——
Huan Mi personally led Chen Caozhi to visit Luoyang City. Chen Caozhi expressed his admiration for Huan Mi's achievements in rebuilding the old capital.
After Chen Caozhi and Ran Sheng attended Shen Chiqian's wedding, they rested for a day in Luoyang and set out for Yingchuan on April 14th. They took the waterway from Yingchuan to avoid the bumpy land journey. On the seventh day of May, Chen Caozhi A group of twenty large ships entered the Huaihe River from Yingshui, passed Shouchun to Pofutang, zigzagged through the waterway into the Yangtze River, and traveled backwards to Bailuzhou Wharf in Jiankang. It was May 22nd, and the journey was smooth. , very smoothly.
Chen Caozhi set foot on the land in the south of the Yangtze River and was filled with emotions. He left Jiankang in the first month of the third year of Xian'an for the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains. It has been two years and four months since he returned today. The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is the same. Are all his friends and relatives well?
