Chapter 1073 Cleaning the house

   Entering the middle of May, the heat in Guanzhong will rise.

  Especially since entering May, there has not been a drop of rain for half a month.

  The scorching breath permeated the land of Guanzhong, and many gray clouds with hazy outlines floated leisurely in the blue sky and slowly crawled over.

  The strong dry wind blows constantly, but it cannot drive away the heat.

  The scorching sun hit the ground directly, and Cicada hid under the leaves, and began to scream strangely, which made people a little upset.

  But compared to Zhi, who can only interfere with the ears, the seven-year-old Shuangshuang and Ah Chong are the two most troublesome demons in Feng's residence.

  The two sisters would get itchy skin if they didn't fight for three days.

  Especially Ah Chong, I don’t know if there is really a bloodline to suppress such metaphysical things.

  Anyway, every time I fight with my sister, I lose.

Then…

   "Wow..." Wiping tears, he ran in, hugged Feng Junhou's leg, and first habitually rubbed his face on Feng Junhou's underwear a few times.

   Then he raised his head and complained with aggrieved face:

   "My lord, she stole my wooden horse again!"

  Feng Junhou watched his son protrude a long snot on his face, and sighed in despair:

"who?"

   "Who else is there..."

   As soon as Ah Chong was about to speak, the light in the room dimmed, and the beast of the town house of Feng Mansion appeared at the door.

   Ah Chong had only spoken halfway through his words, so he swallowed the words subconsciously, and got up from the ground.

"what happened?"

   General Guan swept his eyes and asked a question.

   "Well, I don't know either, Ah Chong said someone robbed his Trojan horse."

   Feng Junhou told the truth.

  General Guan looked at Ah Chong.

   "It's my sister, and my sister is robbing me again."

   In front of General Guan, Ah Chong quickly replaced "she" with "sister".

   "It's worthless! Someone robbed me of something, and I didn't want to find a way to get it back, so I just ran back and cried!"

  General Guan reprimanded, "What a vain son of the Feng family! Can't you just learn from your lord?"

   Ah Chong was reprimanded so much that he lowered his head in shame, and muttered:

   "I can't beat sister..."

   "What are you afraid of? Come on, I'll teach you, if you do this, if you do this..."

  General Guan stretched out his hand, changed twice in the air, and demonstrated a few moves.

  Feng Junhou looked at the mother and son, raised his head and closed his eyes in silence.

  A small head popped out of the door, peeking inside secretly.

  Seeing Ah Chong asking Ah Mu to secretly open a small stove, both of them stared wide-eyed, and cursed silently: "How shameless!"

   Then stretched out his hand, imitating Grandma's appearance, flipped a few times in the air, and quietly learned from outside the door.

   Ah Chong, who had no idea that his details had been seen through by his opponent, after familiarizing himself with these movements, quickly thanked his mother and went out excitedly.

   It seems that it should be revenge.

   Feng Junhou looked at the back of his son leaving with a little pity in his eyes.

   Then he looked at General Guan expressionlessly.

  General Guan knew what he meant, smiled indifferently, and explained:

   "I just came over from there. It's true that both of them did something wrong, so teach Ah Chong a few more things and let him go to save face. It's not considered partiality."

  Feng Junhou raised his chin and motioned for the door:

   "Shuangshuang has been watching just now."

  Shuangshuang's martial arts talent is indeed higher than Ah Chong's. Shuangshuang disappeared before Ah Chong practiced, which means that she has learned it.

   Ah Chong is looking for a place at this time, and nine out of ten are giving away his head.

  General Guan nodded, even more indifferent:

   "Look, I didn't say not to let her see it, Ah Chong is not careful, that's his problem, no wonder others."

   As he spoke, General Guan glanced at Feng Junhou:

   "There is a saying in the art of war: Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles. Now Shuangshuang knows both yourself and the enemy, and Ah Chong is not secretive. Losing is reasonable."

   "Our Feng family is a family of generals. If he doesn't even understand this, let him learn a lesson."

   Feng Junhou was speechless.

  You are so right, I am speechless.

   "Since Shuangshuang made a mistake in this matter, and now let Ah Chong suffer, why do I feel that something is wrong?"

   "What's wrong, Ah Chong suffers because she suffers, and I didn't say I won't punish Shuangshuang, just ask her to do a few more questions tonight."

  General Guan sat next to Feng Junhou and said casually.

   When it comes to learning this matter, Shuangshuang and Ah Chong's talents are exactly the opposite.

  Tonight, Ah Chong can probably laugh at his elder sister to his heart's content.

   Then tomorrow, Shuangshuang will find another excuse to beat up his younger brother.

   Laughing and fighting, reincarnation is endless...

   General Guan was talking when he saw Feng Junhou bent down and fiddled with his trouser legs.

   He only thought that he didn't listen, so he stretched out his foot and kicked him in anger:

   "You are the child's adult, tell you about the child, what are you doing?"

   "I used to say that I was often away from home when I went out on expeditions, but now that my child is with me every day, you don't even bother to say it?"

  Feng Junhou said "Ouch", and sat up straight with grinning teeth: "You hurt me!"

   "Did you hear what I said?"

   "I'm listening." Feng Junhou stretched out his leg and gestured, "When Ah Chong came in just now, he wiped his tears and nose with my robe."

   "I just want to see what the kid has done, look, it's all done."

   "Hey!" General Guan looked disgusted, "It's disgusting!"

   "That's disgusting, too."

   "Go! How can anyone say that about his son?"

  General Guan rushed forward and scratched twice.

   "What are you doing, it's broad daylight, and the door is still open!"

  Feng Junhou's complexion changed, and he quickly resisted desperately.

   "Take off your clothes and change them! This is the backyard, and there are no outsiders."

  General Guan said, but his eyes were moist and bright, "Isn't it disgusting to wear it?"

   Feng Junhou was furious: "It's disgusting that you are still so close?"

   No matter how strong the resistance was, it was eventually suppressed by General Guan.

   The cicada's cry outside the window became weak at some point.

   Just like Feng Junhou lying on the inner couch, all he could do was pant.

  General Guan lay beside him, gently shaking his fan to fan him, his laughter was sweet and joyful:

   "It's hot these days, Shuangshuang is making trouble, Ah Chong is making trouble, and Ah Shun is also making trouble. I don't have time to sleep with A Lang at night. I feel really sorry."

  Feng Junhou closed his eyes and remained silent.

  Feng's mansion has always been full of yin and yang, and yin is strong and yang is weak.

   It was Feng Junhou who started it, so I can't blame Ah Chong.

   "What is Ah Lang thinking?"

"Want sleep."

   "Oh, okay, my concubine will fan you, you should squint for a while, and I will call you when it's time for dinner."

  Feng Junhou let out a long sigh:

   "How long will it take for Shuangshuang to fight Ah Chong?"

"What's the meaning?"

   "I'm afraid Ah Chong will come and cry again later."

   As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden "bang bang bang" knock on the door outside, and at the same time, Ah Chong's crying voice:

   "My lord, my lord!"

  Having a child is troublesome!

  Junhou and his wife hurriedly got up from the couch and hurriedly put on their clothes.

   "Don't go out!"

  General Guan moved quickly, and directly pushed Feng Junhou back on the couch.

   Then he got off the couch by himself, straightened his body, and then his expression became serious, and the spirit body of the beast in the town house of Feng Mansion returned to its place.

  Walking around the screen, straightened her waist, opened the door with a "wow", her phoenix eyes were fierce:

   "As the eldest son of the Feng family, what do you look like?"

   Ah Chong didn't expect a downhill tiger to jump out of the adult's study room, so he took two steps back in fright: "Mum?"

  Aunt, you haven't left yet? Still close the door? Are you beating an adult?

"what happened?"

   "Sister, she hit me again."

   "Taught you so much, you still can't beat her?"

   "Aunt taught me just now, she seems to be able to..."

   "Don't worry, I will punish her tonight."

   Ah Chong's face was happy, and with the help of his mother, it was stable.

  But seeing General Guan sneered:

   "It's useless to give you a chance, go practice horse stance for me now!"

"ah?"

   "Ah what? Hurry up!"

"oh."

   Ah Chong left dejectedly.

   Feng Junhou, who was hiding in the room, saw General Guan coming back with affectionate eyebrows, and quickly closed his eyes again.

   "It's so hot, should Alang take it off before going to bed?"

  Feng Junhou quickly opened his eyes and refused:

   "No, no, Ah Chong's trouble made people sleepless. Besides, it would be bad if the child came again."

"Right."

  General Guan nodded, lay down next to Feng Junhou again, and chatted:

   "The imperial court sent a letter to Guanzhong two days ago, saying that it had agreed to Alang's recommendation to let Wang Zishi (Wang Xun) and Huang Yizhi (Huang Chong) be the governors of Liangzhou and the prefects of Yuexuan."

   "Well. Now that the territory of the Han Dynasty has expanded so much, it is time to promote some people. The achievements of these two people in Yuexuan and Nanxiang are both top-notch, and it should be their turn."

  General Guan said happily:

   "The members of the Xinghan Society have accomplished their careers now, right? These people will be Alang's helpers in the court from now on."

  Feng Junhou felt the cool breeze fanned by General Guan, and became a little confused:

   "Whether a helper or not, they are all doing their best for the big man, but everyone just happens to be like-minded."

   "Isn't that right? Can Xinghanhui be established without like-minded people?"

  General Guan agreed with this statement, and then said in Feng Junhou's ear:

   "This Xinghan Club was established by A Lang himself, and now it can be regarded as seeing the blossoming and bearing fruit."

   "It's just that the situation is so good, I see why Alang is a little restrained?"

  Feng Junhou finally opened his eyes when he heard what General Guan said. So he was waiting for me here?

  He couldn't help laughing and said:

   "If you want to ask any questions in the future, just ask first and then do other things. You have tormented me so much that you just want to talk to me? Tell me, is there someone who wants to inquire about news from you?"

   "Go!" General Guan pushed him, "I haven't slept with A Lang at night for a long time."

   "Besides, can't my concubine inquire about the Xinghan Association?"

  Relying on the royal family, Zhang Xiaosi finally succeeded in taking the position.

  General Guan's heart was full of alarm bells, and he must be consolidating his basic position.

  After all, she took the lead in the battle with Zhang Xiaosi, and Xinghanhui played a big role in it.

   "Yes, yes, of course, what do you want to ask?"

   "There is a problem in Liangzhou, so it's fine to send Erlang to Liangzhou. Why did Alang go to war against Xinghanhui in the whole Han Dynasty?"

  Feng Junhou replied lazily: "The Son of Heaven is in charge, Xinghanhui always wants to show it."

"Oh, is it so?"

  General Guan looked at him suspiciously.

  After sharing the same bed for so many years, she has long been familiar with Feng Junhou's style of doing things.

  As long as it is the front that takes the initiative to suffer, it must be for the sake of taking greater advantage later.

   This time Xinghan made such a big concession, not only gave up the position of Nanxiang county magistrate, but also took the initiative to conduct a large-scale investigation of the Xinghan Association.

   Just to show loyalty to the emperor?

  General Guan was a little bit unconvinced.

  She firmly remembers that someone Feng told her on the bed back then that in the future the Great Han Dynasty might be the royal family, the upstarts, and the Xinghan Society.

  Feng Junhou turned his head and saw that General Guan's face was written all over:

  You're right, but something doesn't feel right to me.

  He had to sit up and said:

   "Well, actually I do have other purposes."

I knew it!

  General Guan asked, "What purpose?"

   "The patriarch of Shimen once taught me to clean the house before treating guests to dinner."

"ha?"

  General Guan looked bewildered.

   "Rejuvenating the Han Dynasty requires the joint efforts of people with lofty ideals. Now that the Han Dynasty has regained Guanzhong and Bingzhou Hedong, the general trend has come."

   "So in the future, more and more people will come to promote righteousness."

  Feng Junhou stretched out his hands, gestured, and explained:

   "But among these people, some may be sincere, and some may be fools. The situation of the big man is stronger than that of the thieves, so they come to seek refuge."

   "If there is any setback for the big man, maybe some of them will want to reattach the thief."

  Feng Junhou smiled and continued:

   "So before we welcome people with lofty ideals, we must first check our own internal problems, so as to avoid being used by people with ulterior motives in the future."

  General Guan's eyes widened when he heard this:

   "I see, so this is called cleaning the house before treating guests to dinner?"

"right."

  Taught by the patriarch?

  General Guan touched his side subconsciously.

  Hey, I didn’t bring my little notebook!

   "Even if it is a fool, the great Han is orthodox in the world. If you buy horse bones for thousands of dollars, the court will definitely accept them."

   "But that's the court's business, not Xinghanhui's business."

  Feng Junhou talked about business, his face became calm:

   "It is precisely because there will be such people in the imperial court in the future, so I will check the Xinghan Association and recommend people from the Xinghan Association to enter the court."

   "The Xinghan Society has done so many things for the court, and this is what they deserve. You can't just let the meritorious people rank behind the horse bones just because the court wants thousands of dollars to buy bones?"

  Feng Junhou shook his head, "I will not let my own people be wronged."

   "Nannan Township..."

   "Nanxiang is not important. If I can create the first Nanxiang, I can create the second Nanxiang."

  Feng Junhou raised his chin, "Xinghanhui's current vision should not be limited to the middle of Shu, but to the world."

   "The world?"

   "Yes, the mountains and rivers inside and outside are the barriers of the world, and Jiuyuan is the barrier of Guanzhong. These two places will be the focus of Xinghanhui in the future."

   Only at this moment can Feng Junhou express his deepest thoughts to his heart's content.

  The more he talked, the more excited he was. He clenched his right fist and put it in his abdomen, and then punched out, with a faint sound of wind:

   "Bringing back the fist is for better punching. Xinghan will give up some things now, so that he can better focus on these two places."

   "Hurrah!"

  Hu Nu waved her fists repeatedly, and the wind was louder than Feng Junhou's fist: "Is that so?"

  Feng Junhou glanced at the enthusiastic General Guan, and the excitement on his face suddenly faded.

  The body slowly slid down, losing the slightest interest:

   "I'm tired and want to rest."
