"Father is back." Cai Yan saw Cai Yong return to the residence and greeted him before continuing to embroider the wedding dress. Diao Chan and Xia Zhu were obediently helping out at the side.
"Yes." Cai Yong originally wanted to say something, but seeing that Cai Yan had no intention of talking to him at all, he got bored and went back to the study to practice his calligraphy.
After Cai Yong walked away, Diao Chan asked curiously,""Sister Zhao Ji, Cai Zhishu seems to have something to say. Why are you ignoring him?”
Cai Yan put down the needle and thread in his hand and smiled as he tapped Diao Chan's snow-white forehead. He said with a smile,"With your sharp eyes, Father must have encountered some troubles in the court. How can a woman like me manage the affairs of the world? That's why I won't ask.”
Cai Yan understood in his heart that now the entire court knew that Cai Yong was the future father-in-law of the Flying Cavalry General Zhang Wu. Others could not wait to curry favor with him, so who would give him a hard time? At most, Cai Yong felt disappointed when he realized that Prime Minister Cao Cao was not the person who could pacify the Han Dynasty.
Not to mention that Cai Yan couldn't manage this kind of thing, even if she really could manage it, she didn't want to.
Women were the most emotional. What did the name of the imperial court have to do with her? She only remembered that her future husband was Chen Liu and Zhang Wu. That was enough.
"Sister is really open-minded. No wonder the general always likes to revolve around you.”It was unknown whether Diao Chan was envious or jealous. She put down the work in her hands and supported her head with her hands."He's been out for a long time, but there's no news from him.”
"Yeah, he really has no conscience. He made his sister worry but didn't know it. When he comes back, I'll punish him to make a hundred kites.”
"No, no, he's a big hero. How can he stay in the back house and play with me?”Diao Chan hurriedly waved her hand, only seeing the teasing look in Cai Yan's eyes when she raised her head,"Good, big sister actually made fun of me.”
The two girls played around for a while before the servant entered the courtyard.
"Miss, there is a soldier outside the door who brought two large boxes of jewelry. He said that the general of the hussars sent them back for you and Miss Diao Chan to choose from.”
"This guy, why is he still thinking about love when he's out on a mission?”Although Cai Yan said it fiercely, her little face was flushed red. She was clearly a young girl who had fallen in love.
"Move the things in."
.........
In the dock, Zhang Wu's eyes were already dazzled.
He really couldn't be blamed for being useless. Ordinary people had never seen so many treasures.
The antiques and famous paintings in the treasury were piled up like a small mountain, and the gold was scattered everywhere like scrap metal.
"Ziqian, that's enough. These are all public property and have to be handed over to the national treasury.”Guo Jia sat on a pile of gold with a wine jar in his arms. He was not moved by the wealth.
There were only two things that interested him, drinking wine and looking for women.
Now that he had the wine in his arms, these yellow and white things were just scrap metal to him.
"Nonsense, you're a bachelor. You eat your fill and your whole family doesn't starve. You really don't know how expensive rice, oil, and salt are.”
"You're not married yet."”
Zhang Wu raised his eyebrows and glared at Guo Jia."What are you mumbling about? I think you don't want to drink anymore.”
"Don't, don't. Do whatever you want. I'm going out to get some fresh air. It's too stuffy in here.”
Zhang Wu seized the time to pick a bit more, then led his troops to suppress his wealth and return with the 200,000 farmers who built the dock.
When Cao Cao heard that the army had returned, he welcomed them at the top of the city wall.
However, when they saw Zhang Wu, the situation became extremely awkward.
Zhang Wu had a bulging bag wrapped around his waist, and a large box was carried on both sides of the red steed. He casually raised his hand and cupped his fists, and a calligraphy painting slipped out of his clothes.
Cao Cao's face twitched, but he pretended not to see it.
Embarrassing, it was too embarrassing.
Even if he directly asked for a reward, it would be better than this, as if he had never seen money before.
"Ha, haha, Ziqian returned with a great victory. I won't be stingy with any rewards you want.”
"No need, no need. As long as the lord leaves me a big house in Xu County, it will be fine. Money and whatnot, I, Zhang, treat it like dirt.”
Cao Cao held back his laughter. On the other hand, Xiahou Dun, who was beside him, looked embarrassed."Why would the Marquis Champion keep dirt in his bosom?”
Zhang Wu stomped his feet." What do you know? These are some worthless calligraphy and antiques that I picked out. I plan to give them to my future father-in-law as betrothal gifts."”
The crowd burst into laughter.
Zhang Wuquan pretended not to listen. He did not want to fight for the world anymore. So what if he was a little greedy and lecherous? What's wrong? This was called following the heart.
During the two days when the army was resting, Zhang Wu, as the general of the hussars, was dragged to attend two court meetings.
It wasn't that he didn't gain anything. At least he heard a lot of news.
For example, on his way back to Jiangdong, Sun Jian passed by Jingzhou and was ambushed by Liu Biao of Jingzhou.
For example, Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, could not stand the torment of the rebel army and directly gave Jizhou to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao was the herdsman of Jizhou and had many conflicts with Gongsun Zan of Youzhou.
There was also Yuan Shu who had occupied Yangzhou. Under the recruitment of soldiers and horses, he already had 200,000 soldiers.
One after another, Zhang Wu couldn't help but sigh.
Many people had tried to get close to Zhang Wu during the uprising, but now he was gone so easily. The chaotic world was really cruel.
However, Yan and Yu were still relatively peaceful. Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, had a good relationship with Boss Cao. Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, had been killed by Liu Dai, the prefect of Dongjun. Liu Dai followed Cao Cao's lead, and Xun Yu was in charge of the central army. The peace was enough. At most, a few reckless Yellow Turban remnants would jump out and cause trouble.
At this moment, Xun Yu had received the news and had already started to expand Xu County. After all, it was the capital of a country. There had to be a palace for the emperor, and there were more than a million refugees. There had to be a place to live.
Xu County was renamed Xuchang, also known as Xudu.
The army returned, leading the officials and millions of refugees. They were in a great formation, and the dust that was stirred up by their journey was enough to cover the sky.
However, with the civilians following the army, their speed would definitely not be fast.
After traveling for more than half a month, the vanguard finally arrived at Xu County.
Zhang Wu followed Cao Cao to the city gate tower. A group of civil and military officials had already come out of the city to welcome him. Under Xun Yu's lead, they bowed.
"Greetings, Prime Minister of the Great Han Dynasty."
Cao Cao laughed in high spirits,""Hahahaha, alright, no need to be polite."
"Ziqian, come, let me introduce you. This is Yingchuan Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo. Wenruo is very talented and old. You have to be respectful and not order him around like how you treat filial piety.”
Cao Cao was able to sit on the horse because he was the Lord. Zhang Wu was not so arrogant. He immediately dismounted and cupped his fists at Xun Yu."I am Zhang Wu. Greetings, sir."
Xun Yu waved his hand." I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy. General, you are the General of the Flying Cavalry. How can I accept your courtesy?"”
"System, scan Xun Yu."
