Chapter 1056: Geng Zijuan returns home while drunk, reading the sword with the lamp on (Third update!)

 Coming out of Youfang Alley, Feng Ziying was still thinking about this series of things.

Maybe it is not as dangerous as I thought. Emperor Yonglong, the ministers in the cabinet, and the two men from the Ministry of War should have considered some situations.

It's just like what Qiao Yingjia said, there are too many smart people, and they often don't necessarily agree with each other, or they feel that they may not dare to take risks. Just like myself, I don't think it's just a possibility, but just out of caution. Do you think some countermeasures should be taken?

In addition to Youfang Hutong, turn onto Xuanwumen Lane Street, which is the most important street in the west of the city. From Xuanwumen, you can go straight to the single archway and the fourth archway, and intersect with West Chang'an Street and Xi'anmen Street.

　In the past, these streets were the most lively. But now, tens of thousands of people suddenly poured into the capital, making it even more lively.

Xuanwumenli Street is a north-south street. Although the two sides of the street are not the residences of wealthy families or government offices, there are still more red walls, green tiles and street-facing shops.

The government offices in the capital city are very particular about where they are located. Most of them are concentrated in the east of Dashi Yongfang, the south of Nanxunfang, the middle of Fucaifang, and the north of Xiaoyongfang. Others are like Mingshifang and Huanghuafang. , Mingzhaofang and Qingqingfang are also scattered.

As for wealthy mansions, they basically avoid the main streets and downtown areas facing the front, preferring to choose ordinary alleys that are quiet but easily accessible.

For example, Fengcheng Hutong, Youfang Hutong, Bingbuwa, Shibei Hutong, Songshu Hutong, Banchang Hutong, and the Dashi Yongfang, Xiaoxiao Yongfang, Xianyifang, Anfufang, and Nanxunfang where these alleys are located are all A place that wealthy families like to choose.

Main streets like Xuanwumen Street are home to the best silk and satin shops, incense powder shops, leather goods shops, and medicinal materials shops in the entire west of the city. Shops that sell ordinary salt, tea, oil, and grains are not available for daily use. In these areas, the rent is too high and cannot be afforded by these daily livelihoods.

The wealthy gentry who came to the city from the countryside does not mean that they are poor, nor does it mean that their needs for these things are smaller. On the contrary, after entering the city, they are more willing to go out and consume. This can be seen from the bustle of Xuanwumen Lane Street. You can get a glimpse of the extent.

Although the bustling flow of people cannot be said to be crowded, Feng Ziying estimated that it took her at least half an hour longer to return from Youfang Hutong to Fengcheng Hutong.

No one knew about her return to Beijing, so when Feng Ziying stepped onto the threshold of her home in Fengcheng Hutong, both the door in the concierge and Yun Shang who happened to walk to the door were stunned.

"Why, you didn't know how to say hello when you saw me come back? Are you so unruly?" Feng Ziying dismounted with a smile and threw the reins to Baoxiang.

"Sir, why are you back?" Yun Shang rushed over, staggered, and almost fell. Her eyes were so red that she couldn't hold back her tears. In an instant, she got wet and threw herself on Feng Ziying's chest. .

"Why can't I come back? Could it be that it's a sin for me to come back to see you?" Feng Ziying can feel the elasticity and plumpness of the youthful body in her arms, even through several layers of clothes. of solidity.

During this period of time in Yongping Mansion, he hardly had much thought to think about anything else. Even when he went to bed in the middle of the night, he still had to think about business matters. Although Second Sister You was anxious about not being able to get pregnant, she also knew what was right and what was right. , so I followed the rules and didn’t get entangled.

Going out early and coming back late, especially having to travel between Qian'an and Lulong most of the time, Feng Ziying's tension at all times made Feng Ziying feel a bit like a vegetarian these past two months, and she finally felt a little more relaxed. Then came the negotiations with the Inner Khalkha people, the reconstruction of the He Huchen Department in the Beijing Camp and Zuo Liangyu's new army. Feng Ziying did not dare to neglect anything. This was related to the future plans. If you work hard now, you will be confident in the future. a bit.

As if she suddenly realized that she had lost her composure, Yun Shang was wiping tears from the corners of her eyes while hurriedly breaking free from Feng Ziying's arm, "I will go and tell grandma immediately. Grandma was still talking about me years ago, saying that I haven't written to you for so long. I also heard that there were Mongolian soldiers fighting over there in Yongping, so I was worried about it."

"Uh, no need. I'm going to say hello to my wife and concubine first, and then I'll go over." Feng Ziying let go of Yun Shang, then greeted a few servants in the concierge, and then took Yun Shang's hand. He walked straight to his mother.

When she met her mother and aunt, she inevitably shed tears again. Xiao Duan even held Feng Ziying's hand and cried for a long time. Finally, she remembered that there was a pregnant woman there, so Feng Ziying hurriedly went to comfort her who had been away for a long time. woman.

Huddled next to his husband, Shen Yixiu felt that his whole body seemed to relax completely, and even his eyelids began to droop.

The chattering words, the tender caressing, and even the cupping of the already round belly, and the rubbing of the slightly swollen calves, all of which made Shen Yixiu fall into a floating state of happiness and sweetness.

 She enjoyed this feeling too much.

Her husband's sudden return made her, who had always maintained a cold and indifferent attitude in front of her servants, completely put down her mask. Even in front of Qingwen and Yun Shang, she was not afraid to show her tender desire for her husband. This was what Qing had in the past. Wen is considered her personal maid, and she rarely reveals her attachment to her husband as a woman.

 Ever since she heard that the Mongolian army broke through the barriers and invaded Yongping Mansion, she has been in a restless mood.

She knew very well what kind of person her husband was. He went to Yongping Mansion carefully and would never allow the Mongols to ruin his plan. The trip back on the way showed that he wanted to fight with the Mongols at all costs. The first battle was just because she was worried about her husband not wanting to get pregnant, so he refused to talk about the specific plan, but this only increased Shen Yixiu's worries.

A few days ago, there was news that the Mongolian army went south to Qian'an and fought fiercely with the Liaodong Army in Qian'an. This made Shen Yixiu worried and a little relieved. At least his father-in-law sent elite Liaodong Army to support his husband, but the specific battle situation How, but everyone has different opinions.

It was also said that the Mongols were defeated at the foot of Qian'an City, and some said that the Mongols were just a false shot. They wanted to first deal with the 80,000-strong Beijing army entrenched in the Santun Camp in the northwest corner of Yongping Prefecture. Immediately afterwards, news came that the Beijing Camp The Mongols were annihilated in one fell swoop and more than 50,000 people were taken captive. The Mongols were at the peak of their momentum and either wanted to attack Zunhua from the west or go south again to attack Qian'an.

All kinds of undistinguishable news made Shen Yixiu feel ups and downs, and worried. It was not until the news came back from Yongping that everything was fine, that she felt relieved. However, she did not see her husband with her own eyes, and she did not get her husband. Shen Yixiu could not sleep peacefully despite the personal assurance.

But now, everything has finally settled. Shen Yixiu feels that he has not been so relaxed for a long time, so with Qingwen and Yun Shang beside him, he clings to her husband and feels the familiar breath of her husband, as if The best hypnotic agent, just a stick of incense, and the sound of snoring started to sound under the gaze of the three people.

Feng Ziying caressed his wife's rounder cheek lovingly. The fine eyelashes trembled slightly because the eyes moved slightly under the closed eyelids. She pillowed her shoulders and arms, almost in a posture of half leaning in her arms. , and fell asleep like this.

"Master, grandma has not slept well during this period, especially when she heard that the Mongols were attacking Qian'an. Miss Bao and Miss Lin from Rongguo Mansion also often came over to ask about the situation. Grandma could only force a smile on her face and comfort everyone. , In fact, grandma is also very worried. When I get up to see grandma several times at night, grandma is tossing and turning on the bed. Sometimes grandma is choking and sobbing in her dreams..."

 Qingwen's pretty and rosy cheeks were sitting half-assed on the brocade stool. She was carefully rubbing her calves with her hands while she was talking in a low voice.

“Well, I’m sorry for you.” Feng Ziying sighed.

 Men are fighting outside, and women are naturally looking forward to it inside. The pitiful bones by the Wuding River are like those in a spring boudoir dream. Isn’t this poem the best portrayal?

Shen Yixiu and the others naturally don't know the specific circumstances of the war, but they know how many families will wear sackcloth and mourn after each war. Who is not worried that this kind of bad luck will suddenly happen to them?

So far, there are still more than 50,000 prisoners in the hands of the Mongols in the capital camp. If the Inner Khalkha people trap and kill these prisoners like Bai Qi did in the Changping Battle, and every family in the capital city will cry to heaven and earth wearing sackcloth and mourning, that situation will only be miserable. I'm afraid no one can bear it.

At this time, Feng Ziying suddenly realized why neither the imperial cabinet nor the emperor dared to refuse Zai Sai's conditions, because no one could bear that kind of result. Even if they knew that the possibility of Zai Sai doing that was very small, who would dare to gamble? ?

Once this happens, if anyone points the finger at the cabinet or the emperor, the noisy public opinion will tear the cabinet to pieces, especially since most of the relatives of the tens of thousands of soldiers in the capital are in the city. Even the emperor will not be able to bear it. Such a violent impact.

"Isn't it just the same for me outside?" Qingwen glanced at Yun Shang, who was holding Feng Ziying's shoulder again, "I see that I have become a lot thinner. In this wilderness, there are winds and rains, and there are still risks. In view of the danger of war with the Mongols,..."

Feng Ziying carefully placed his wife's body on the bed. The soft and gentle brocade quilt and the familiar scent of her husband made Shen Yixiu sleep soundly, without even waking up.

Sitting on the bed like this, watching his wife fall asleep soundly, Feng Ziying kept chatting with the two pretty maids, occasionally making jokes and teasing the two girls, with gentle hands and eyes, which caused a burst of blushing and resentment. , Private love in a boudoir is not enough for outsiders to understand.

 The most tender side of the capital city came to light.

How many monthly passes are there left?
