Chapter 965
The moonlight is hazy, the starlight is blurred. The lantern on the main courtyard gate hangs high, and the light shines far away.
When Yun Qing entered the courtyard, he saw that the lights in the room were still on. Don't come back too late, the lights in the yard are all on. No matter how busy or tired you are, it's easy to get home.
It was also because of this habit that Yuxi took the child to Zhuangzi last time, and Yun Qing felt that he was extremely lonely.
Seeing Yuxi reading again, Yun Qing said unhappily, "Didn't I tell you not to read at night?"
Yuxi smiled and said, "I only read it for a while." Reading at night hurts her eyes. She doesn't read much at night now, and this time she read it only to wait for Yun Qing.
"Would you like to have supper?" Yun Qing had the habit of eating supper, so the kitchen was prepared.
Yun Qing looked at Yu Xi and said, "I want to eat egg noodles with braised beef." The braised beef made by Bai's mother is a must, and it is Yun Qing's favorite. It's just that Oak-hee felt that he was too old, so he was not allowed to eat big fish and meat at night, only light food. This is very tortured for Yun Qing Ai, who has no love for meat.
Oak Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I think Qi Hao is better than you."
"Is it possible?" He hadn't eaten braised beef for more than half a month, and he was panicking!
Yu Xi smiled and said, "Yes, but you are not allowed to eat too much." Yu Xi's supper at night is all soup, soup and water. Like tonight, Oak Hee ate lotus seed lily soup.
Looking at the soup, Yun Qing had nothing to eat, and he didn't know why Yuxi still drank so deliciously.
After eating and drinking, the couple chatted. Yu Xi said, "I have already told Qi Hao about Liu'er and asked him to find out what Wei Qi said."
Yun Qing hiccupped and said with a smile, "That's fine." Liu'er needs to have good looks. Unless Cui Weiqi is blind, how could he not like Liu'er.
How could Yuxi not see what Yun Qing was thinking, but she didn't say much, because her Liu Er was really good. Not to mention both talent and beauty, the housekeeper and director female Hong can show everything in her cooking skills.
Yun Qing asked, "I heard from Meilan just now that your second sister-in-law is here? What is she here looking for you for?"
Yuxi knew that Yunqing didn't like her in charge of the Han family: "Second sister-in-law came to tell me specifically that Brother Chang's marriage is set."
"Is it the girl from the house you told me about last time?" Yun Qing is one of the ten thousand people who doesn't look down on Brother Chang. If you don't have talent, you can't do it, because it's innate. But if you don't have the ability and don't work hard, and you are muddleheaded, such a person's life is a complete waste of food.
Yuxi shook her head and said, "No, it's Liu Yongnan's daughter." Han Jianming thought that the youngest daughter of Zhong Yun's family was very good. Although the girl was a concubine, she had been raised by Mrs. Zhong's side since she was a child, and she was as beautiful as a flower. Brother Chang is the eldest son, but he has no talent and can only be successful in the future. Han Jianming's family can also get married. However, he was afraid that Yuxi would think too much, so he specifically said this in the letter.
Yun Qing frowned when he heard this: "Xiaomei is bright and generous. Telling her to Brother Chang is too wrong for that child. What does Liu Yongnan think?" If it was him, he would never marry his daughter. Embroidered pillows like this for Brother Chang.
"Uh..." Yuxi really didn't expect Yun Qing to hate Brother Chang so much: "Liu Yongnan has already agreed to this marriage, and he should be engaged soon."
After thinking for a while, Yun Qing asked Yuxi: "Do you think I should tell Liu Yongnan about this?" Go ahead, afraid that Yuxi would be unhappy. Don't say it, but it will kill Xiaomei's child for the rest of her life.
Yuxi was a little surprised, Yun Qing was not a nosy person: "Why are you so concerned about this?" Although Brother Chang was not very useful, the Han family had a good family style. Especially her mother is definitely a kind and loving mother-in-law. As for the Xiang family, because she is the successor, she will not embarrass her. Therefore, as long as Liu Mei can control Brother Chang,
Then her son-in-law will also have a very comfortable life.
After listening to Yuxi's words, Yun Qing still shook his head: "Men are useless, no matter how good the elders are, it is in vain." If it weren't for Zaozao's special situation, he would not marry his daughter to Wu Jinyu. But having said that, although Wu Jinyu can't lift his hands or shoulders, he keeps himself clean. Unlike Brother Chang, everything that is dirty and smelly is pulled into the house.
"It's not a big deal, just say it if you want." No matter how unbearable Brother Chang was, he didn't have to worry about not being able to marry a daughter-in-law because of his family background. The reason for the delay is that her eldest brother wanted to find a good marriage for Brother Chang.
Liu Yongnan has followed him for so many years, but he doesn't want his daughter to be tricked: "Then I will write to him and tell him about it later."
Yuxi shook his head and said, "You're going to do it. But Liu Yongnan is a person who keeps his promises. Since he promised my elder brother, he shouldn't go back on it."
"I'll tell him about it, it's his business how to do it." The Wang family exchanged tokens before, and after Liu Yongnan made his fortune, the Wang family publicized it to everyone, and Liu Yongnan was not easy to regret it. But now it's different, they're just discussing a marriage, and if they don't want to get married, they can just find any reason. As long as Liu Yongnan loves his daughter, the marriage will not happen.
Yu Xi hummed, and talked to Yun Qing about another matter: "Ye Jiulang's situation is not very good now." Zhou Zhan personally led the troops to Jinzhou to suppress the bandits, and there was no support from the northwest side. Ye Jiulang led the way. The rebel army was beaten and retreated, and now it has returned to Jinzhou.
Yun Qing said: "Jinzhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as Ye Jiulang listens to Song Wei, Zhou Zhan will not be able to break into Jinzhou." Song Wei was the military commander that Yun Qing carefully selected and sent to Jinzhou.
Yuxi's expression was a little cold, and he said, "foreign enemies are not scary, what is scary is internal aggression. If those people still want to fight for power, no matter how Song Wei can fight, Jinzhou won't be able to keep it." The small capital was in the northwest, unless those who died in battle, those who survived obeyed Ye Jiulang's dispatch. But those who came back, when they took up more territory, wanted to take the lead and began to fight for power with Ye Jiulang.
Ye Jiulang didn't expect that someone would be so eager for quick success, and he wanted to squeeze him down before his heels could stand firm, and he suffered a big loss for this. If it wasn't for his backing, I'm afraid his life would be gone. It was also because the infighting was too fierce that Zhou Zhan successfully broke through Dingzhou and other places.
Yun Qingshen didn't look good either, and said, "You're right, if they are still the same as before, Jinzhou will definitely not be able to keep it." If the generals are not in harmony, this battle is not needed, and they will definitely lose.
"He Rui, I mean if Jinzhou can't hold back, let Ye Jiulang follow Song Wei back to the northwest!" Yuxi never treats those who do things for her badly.
Yun Qing said with a sigh: "We spent so much financial resources at a loss, but we ended up in such a situation."
Yuxi also regretted: "Forget it, no matter what, Ye Jiulang lost a lot of troops to the court this time." Ye Jiulang has since returned to Jinzhou to rebel, and assassinations have become commonplace. If it weren't for the fact that the people Yuxi sent to Li and Ye Jiulang were also very cautious, he would have died long ago.
Hearing this, Yun Qing said with a smile, "Yuxi, I'm going to inspect the garrison in various places in a few days." The advantage of not having to deal with government affairs is that he can go to other places at any time.
Oak Xi would not object to this kind of thing: "Bring Qi Hao with you!" Let Qi Hao know more about the affairs of the army, and it would be good for him.
"I thought you were going to Guan Qihao for a year or two!" I didn't expect to be released so quickly.
"You're right, he won't want to go out alone within three years!" She didn't worry about going out with Yun Qing, but if Qihao wanted to go out alone, she would never agree.
In a blink of an eye, he told Cui Weiqi Xiu Mu's son, and Qi Hao took him to Fu Ji Restaurant.
When the two entered the box, Cui Weiqi asked in a puzzled way, "Master Shi, is there anything I can't tell you in the palace?" He was so old that he went to Fook Kee Restaurant no more than ten times.
Qi Hao smiled and said, "When I was in Mianzhou, what I missed the most was the food cooked by Fu Ji Restaurant and Bai's mother." Bai's mother studied new dishes, and Fu Ji Restaurant will be launched soon. Similarly, if there is any new dish in the restaurant, Bai Mama will also cook it soon, and the two parties are sharing resources.
Cui Weiqi was not a cowardly son of a bitch. Hearing this, he said with a smile, "Then I've been smothered."
The dishes were already ordered, and the two talked for a while before the dishes came. Since there were only three people to eat, Qihao ordered four dishes and one soup, namely Tibetan mutton with fish maw, Kung Pao chicken, lotus root in honey sauce, Mapo tofu, and a three-fresh soup.
Cui Weiqi looked at the dishes on the table and said with a smile, "This honey-soaked lotus root is my mother's favorite." It's delicious, but it's also ridiculously expensive. For this dish, it costs a tael of silver. Ordinary people, a tael of silver can buy a very good table.
Qi Hao smiled and said, "My mother likes it very much too. But I want to say that this dish is more like a dessert." Sweet, crisp, and rich in aroma, such a dish is not suitable for meals, and it tastes better when eaten dry.
Cui Weiqi agrees with this.
Brother Hua didn't speak, just stretched out his chopsticks and put a piece of lotus root in his mouth, chewing slowly. Mmmm, delicious. In a blink of an eye, the dish was missing a corner.
Qi Hao and Cui Weiqi didn't chat anymore, they quickly picked up chopsticks and started eating. Slow down, but you won't be able to eat.
After a quarter of an hour, the three were full.
What Qi Hao decided was the box, with two rooms inside and outside. The outer room is used to eat, and the inner room is used to make tea, play the piano and play chess.
After taking the tea and rinsing his mouth, Qi Hao walked inside, followed by Cui Weiqi and Brother Hua.
Leaning on the chair of the Eight Immortals, Qi Hao asked with a smile, "Aqi, are you going to stay in the Qianwei Camp all the time?" During the Chinese New Year last year, Cui Weiqi said that he would enter the cavalry camp this year. As a result, there has been no movement until now, which made Qi Hao a little curious.
Speaking of this, Cui Weiqi was very depressed: "I wanted to go to the cavalry battalion, but my father refused." The cavalry battalion has now been reduced to 8,000 people. No way, the cost of the cavalry battalion is too great. The annual expenditure of only a few thousand horses is a huge amount of money.
"Why?" Seeing Cui Weiqi shaking his head, Qi Hao frowned: "Didn't General Cui tell you the reason?"
Cui Weiqi said with a bitter face: "I only said that I am not suitable for entering the cavalry battalion. If I ask him why, I don't know what my father is worried about!"
After speaking, Cui Weiqi had a flash of inspiration: "Master Shizi, why don't you help me talk to me? If you want to speak, my father will definitely agree." Although Qihao is a junior, but because of his appearance, several generals will also agree with him. will consider.
Qi Hao shook his head and said, "I can't interfere in the affairs of the army. If I don't let my mother know, I will be severely punished."
Cui Weiqi was like a deflated ball, and he fell back: "What should I do then?"
Brother Hua poured a glass of boiled water for Cui Weiqi: "Isn't Qianweiying bad? The county master and the second young master are the ones who yearn for Qianweiying the most."
"It's not that the Qianwei Camp is bad, it's that I want to go to the cavalry camp!" The selection of the Qianwei Camp is extremely harsh, that is, Zaozao and Brother Rui have to pass the test to enter. If you don't pass the test, you won't be able to get in.
"The vegetables and radishes have their own love." Qi Hao took a cherry and put it in his mouth. Fook Kee Restaurant also prepares fruit, in order to cope with the dignitaries.
After eating a few cherries, Qi Hao smiled and said, "By the way, cousin Hua's marriage has been settled. Now there are four of them, and you are the only one left." won't hide it.
"Cough, cough..." Cherry stuck in her throat, choking on Cui Weiqi.
After he was relieved, Cui Weiqi hurriedly asked: "Jiahua is engaged? Whose girl is he dating? I didn't hear any rumors. This confidentiality work is well done."
Brother Hua put down the water glass in his hand and said, "My father ordered it, and I only found out two days ago." Brother Hua and Han Jianming were not close, so they would not call him father, but father.
"Who's the girl? If the girl is not good, you have to tell the princess that this marriage should not be sloppy. If you marry a bad one, you can lose your life." Cui Mo talked to Cui Weiqi a few times, and said If Lin Shi was a virtuous person, Yu Cong would not die.
Qi Hao smiled and said, "Cousin Hua grew up in our house, and his marriage must be approved by my parents." Qi Hao was also very satisfied with Brother Hua's marriage.
"It turns out that both the prince and the princess have agreed, so the decision will not be wrong." The princess's eyes, that is not to say.
Brother Hua glanced at Qi Hao, and then said, "Third brother, I'm all engaged, and now the four of us are left with you." Du Shao is also engaged, the daughter of sister Du Zheng.
Du Zheng's mother passed away early, and his father was not at home all the year round. It can be said that his sister brought him up. So when his sister proposed to give her daughter to Du Shao four years ago, Du Zheng agreed without even thinking about it. For this, Mrs. Du had a big fight with him. But it's done, and it's useless to make trouble.
Cui Weiqi spread his hands and said, "My parents are not in a hurry, what am I in a hurry." Cui Weiqi now wants to go to the cavalry battalion, and has no idea about the marriage.
A hint of suspicion flashed in Qi Hao's eyes. Listening to this, could it be that Cui Mo and his wife didn't tell him about Liu'er.
After thinking about it, Qi Hao asked with a smile, "A Shao has made a deal with his cousin, [UU Kanshu 00ks] Does your mother also want to appoint you a girl from the Tong family?" Du Zheng's niece, more than Du Shao One year older.
Cui Weiqi laughed when he heard this, and said, "Don't tell me, my uncle and aunt really wanted to marry my cousin, but my mother rejected it." Without asking Qihao, Cui Weiqi continued: " My cousin is too timid, and every time she sees me, she is as frightened as a mouse sees a cat." Cui Weiqi was very naughty when he was a child, and often caught dead mice, snakes and other things to scare his cousin. As a result, the girl had a dark shadow in her heart, and she was too scared to see Cui Weiqi now. Tong used this as an excuse to reject his brother and sister-in-law's proposal to marry.
