The deep courtyard is extremely quiet.
Suddenly, there was a burst of rapid footsteps.
The girl was holding on to the doorframe, her face was red and she was breathing heavily.
Several people who were working as female celebrities raised their heads and looked at the person coming.
"Marquis Chen is discussing military and state affairs with a bunch of old and arrogant people." The girl said immediately without any prompting.
"Oh..." The girls sighed with unknown meaning.
"Putao, what is Marquis Chen talking about?" Yu Wenjun asked.
As soon as these words came out, the other three girls in the room had different expressions.
Mrs. Guanqiu was full of curiosity, just like a girl of her age who loves fantasy. She did not shy away from her thoughts in front of her sisters and tried to find out everything about Chen Hou.
Ms. Xun pretended to be calm, but judging from the complete stop of her hand movements, it was obvious that she was still concerned.
Mrs. Yin looked nervous and did not dare to look at anyone.
"We are talking about the emperor giving up on moving the capital and issuing an edict to Zhou Fu to withdraw his troops, but only need to transport grain to the capital." After Pu Tao took a breath, he said: "Chen Hou seems to be very happy, saying that it is best to use weapons instead of weapons. How to preserve your vitality?"
Yu Wenjun breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Chen Hou is happy, which means that this matter is beneficial to him, so that’s good, that’s good.
"Princess Donghai is also here." Pu Tao said mysteriously again.
"Ah?" Before Yu Wenjun could speak, Mrs. Guanqiu exclaimed in surprise.
Yu Wenjun pinched her angrily, and Mrs. Guanqiu pinched her back, and the two started laughing and quarreling.
Mrs. Guanqiu was Yu Wenjun's cousin. The two often slept in the same bed and talked to each other about their concerns, so the relationship was naturally very good.
Mr. Xun sat there dignifiedly and asked: "Putao, what's the matter with Princess Donghai? Why are you with Chen Hou?"
Mr. Xun has recently been learning etiquette from the main line of the family, and his words are a bit deliberate, as if he is imitating the ladies of the family.
Sure enough, Pu Tao glanced at her with disdain and said, "Jiang Xia, why do you do this? Can't you speak well?"
After saying that, he walked up to Ms. Xun and tickled her.
Xunshi really succeeded and couldn't help laughing.
After laughing, she sighed again, not sure if it was because of her fate.
Mrs. Yin was a little shy. She looked at a few people and subconsciously felt that this was not good, but she did not dare to speak out to persuade them.
Well, she felt that Yu Wenjun was very good to them and very close to them, just like he was many years ago.
But people will eventually grow up and have their own lives.
Yu Wenjun is Chen Hou's official wife, and her status is different from those of the concubines. To put it bluntly, she is divided into master and servant, although everyone's status was similar in the past.
Yu Wenjun couldn't even take care of his four close playmates. Without the power of a big wife, it was hard for the Yin family to imagine how she would face those concubines and princesses after marrying into the Marquis Chen's house.
Yu Wenjun seemed to think that it was not good to laugh and make noise like this, so he said: "Stay here, everyone, and listen to Pu Tao continue to talk."
The group of girlfriends became quiet.
Pu Tao straightened her messed up hair and said, "I heard that Marquis Chen was escorting the princess and the Crown Prince to Yanzhou. There was a bit of chaos there. After Situ died, many people from the shogunate left, and many sergeants also dispersed."
"The sergeants have also dispersed?" Yu Wenjun was a little confused.
"There are more than 10,000 beggars in the army under Situ's tent. These people are the old troops of the right guard general Li Yun. They may want to return to Luoyang." Xun said at the side.
Yu Wenjun glanced at Mr. Xun quickly, a little surprised and a little unhappy.
Mrs. Xun didn't notice Yu Wenjun, Mrs. Yin looked at her from the side, but she was introverted and didn't say anything, she only lowered her head and wring her fingers.
"Jiangxia, you really have some skills." Pu Tao exclaimed: "That's what your Jibei Marquis said. He also mentioned that some Yanzhou aristocratic families called back their own tribes, saying that they had lent them to Situ for war.
Now that Situ is gone, he takes the people back. Fan County is probably really in trouble. Oh, there is also Zhong Yanzhou (Zhong Ya) here. He just came back from Fan County and mentioned the battle in Qingzhou, saying
If you delay for too long, Cao Yi and Gou Xi might reach out..."
"Zhong Yanzhou is well-known in Yingchuan. Did he come back to join the Marquis of Chen?" Yu Wenjun asked hurriedly after hearing half of it.
"No." Pu Tao shook his head: "Marquis Chen also advised him to stay in Yuzhou. Zhong Yanzhou declined, saying that he had made an agreement with two people from the Ruan family of the Wei family to travel south to build Ye together."
"Is King Langya so prestigious?" Yu Wenjun was a little dissatisfied.
Pu Tao wanted to say something, but was speechless.
Several people present thought for a moment and all lowered their heads.
No matter what the reason is, you can tell without asking. Thinking of this section, Yu Wenjun was fine, but the other four people were a little disappointed, and even felt a little sorry for themselves.
"It doesn't matter if you don't help Chen Hou, others will help you." Yu Wenjun said.
"I heard from the elders in the family that Marquis Chen suddenly asked more than ten people to be listed as Imperial Colleges before the year. He may not trust outsiders..." Xun said.
She returned to her dignified sitting posture, and her manner, speed of speech, and expression when speaking were also very particular, just like those noble ladies who have taken care of the family business for many years. But paired with her slightly immature face, it always felt a bit funny.
"Yes, your own talents are the most reliable." Yu Wenjun immediately agreed.
The five people present are all from the Yingchuan family, but they are women. When women think about the problem, it is more complicated.
If the family can stand with Chen Hou and help, that would be great.
If they are relatively distant from Chen Hou, it will be uncomfortable for them to be caught in the middle.
Of course, since they have joined Yu Wenjun's "girlfriend group" for getting married, in a sense, their family already has a tendency, and at least they are hedging their bets, so as not to make it too difficult for them.
"Speaking of those who defected..." Pu Tao suddenly added: "Lemo, the governor of Dunqiu, led the soldiers and civilians of Hebei to the south from Liang State. He heard that he was going to Nandun soon. Marquis Chen wanted him to be the new internal historian of Cai."
"Lemo." When Yu Wenjun heard this surname, he lowered his head slightly.
Mrs. Guangqiu gave her a nudge.
Yu Wenjun shook his head slightly and continued to work as a female celebrity.
Lemo lost Dunqiu and could still be the prefect when he came back. Is she really so favored?
Mrs. Yin looked at Mrs. Guanqiu and then at Mr. Yu Wenjun, slightly anxious, but she was not good at words, and in the end she could only hold back one sentence: "Marquis Chen just wants to stabilize Nanyang."
Mrs. Xun glanced at Mrs. Yin, a little surprised.
Yinshi avoided her gaze, lowered her head and wring her fingers, her face gradually turning red.
Yu Wenjun glanced at Mrs. Yin happily and said, "That's true."
After saying this, the girls played hostess for a while, and soon started chatting about Chen Hou's attire, until a servant came over to invite them to dinner.
They were all unmarried girls, so it was naturally impossible for them to eat at the same table with a man. The five of them left the small courtyard and walked to the west wing. As they walked, they stopped because a man's voice came from the front.
"When we go to Fan County, the princess doesn't need to say anything to them. She only needs to take advantage of the righteousness of the mistress." Shao Xun walked beside Concubine Pei and said softly: "In this way, I don't dare to say anything else. Qingxu Shiren But it’s much easier to handle.”
"What should we do over there with Wang Bing?"
"Don't worry, Princess. With my ministers here, Wang Bing doesn't dare to make any mistakes."
"Wang Anqi has been away from Donghai for a long time. Should he appoint another internal historian?"
"It may be necessary. In fact, not only internal history, but also lieutenants need to choose people."
"Liu Qia is now a lieutenant in the shogunate. Do you want him to go back and become a lieutenant?"
"Let's take a look after we go there." Shao Xun said, "I'll talk to them one by one first and find out. If it doesn't work, I'll replace them immediately. The land of the four counties of Donghai Kingdom is not a small country. It would be a pity to lose it."
"There were rumors in the court that the emperor wanted to demote...him as the county king. In this case, where will the four counties be?"
"This matter is indeed worth considering." Shao Xun said: "I have made a deal with Wang Yifu. I help Yang Mao become the governor of Yanzhou, and he will find a way to stop the emperor."
"Would this be the target of public criticism?"
"It's not a big deal." Shao Xun said: "Since Situ took the title of Governor and Governor of Xuzhou a few years ago, and later named himself the Mu of Yanzhou, more and more people have done this."
"I'm still a little worried."
"Some things have to be risky. The emperor has a strong opinion of me now. Normally, it is impossible to capture Li Shu, so I can only take the wrong approach."
"As long as you know it." Concubine Pei sighed and moved forward.
When he reached the courtyard gate, he was stunned.
Yu Wenjun and her best friends looked at each other.
Yinshi subconsciously wanted to escape.
Mr. Xun forced himself to bow calmly, while his mind was still analyzing what he had just heard.
Mr. Guanqiu and Mr. Yu lowered their heads.
Yu Wenjun glanced at Concubine Pei and then saluted.
Concubine Pei returned the gift and looked at Yu Wenjun with complicated eyes.
I recall the spring outing in Qilijian seven or eight years ago. At that time, she was surrounded by stars and the moon. Yu Wenjun, who was still a little girl, was innocent and innocent, and was not taken seriously by her at all.
But now - at the age of fifteen, she wants to steal a man!
Shao Xun was a little dizzy at first, but then he quickly came to his senses and smiled at Yu Wenjun.
According to etiquette, they shouldn't have met now, but they bumped into each other, so it's inappropriate to pretend they didn't see each other.
Yu Wenjun also smiled, and then left with a heavy heart.
The four playmates followed closely behind, occasionally looking at Shao Xun from the corner of their eyes.
Shao Xun smiled and nodded.
You didn't say anything random just now, did you? I don't think so.
How can these little girls know anything about military and national affairs? They don’t understand the ways of the world.
Shao Xun recalled it one last time and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he was cautious and didn't tell any lies, otherwise he would really have been caught.
However, Concubine Pei's face didn't look very good and she whispered: "Let's leave in the afternoon and get this matter over with quickly."
"Okay." Shao Xun nodded.
Only after you finish one thing can you fully devote yourself to another thing.
Chapter completed!
