When they learned that Zhu Xiu was about to go to Suzhou to take office, the women in the mansion suddenly felt sad and desolate.

Fu Jinhuan's eyes were red, and while he was packing Zhu Xiu's luggage with his own hands, he complained with a frown: "Your Majesty, it's true. It's not good to send anyone, but you have to go? Why does the hard work always fall on our family?"

Is there no one else in the Zhou Dynasty? Could it be that he can no longer be emperor without you? You are just a cow, horse and mule. Wherever there is hard work, you have to go wherever it is!"

The more Fu Jinhuan talked, the more aggrieved he became, and tears fell down his cheeks.

Zhu Xiu leaned back on the recliner and scolded with a fierce face: "The more you talk, the more outrageous you are! It's outrageous!"

Fu Jinhuan sobbed: "Just let the Wude Inspector put me in jail!"

Zhou Xian and Feng Qingchan silently packed Zhu Xiu's luggage, while Shi Lingyan held Xiao Yuanyuan in his arms and sat silently with a sad face.

Zhu Xiu had a headache and said helplessly: "The country is in a troubled period. In order to unify the great cause, countless people are working hard for it. As a minister, I have to serve and it is my duty to do so!"

Fu Jinhuan wiped away his tears, picked up the needle and thread and sewed a peace charm into the close-fitting gown that Zhu Xiuchang wore, muttering:

"That's nice to say. You men have great ambitions and like to travel around. It's pity that we women stay at home day and night looking forward to and caring about you.

You abandoned your wife and children first, but you can still say a lot of truths when you turn around..."

Shi Lingyan whispered: "This time I think what my sister said makes sense..."

Zhu Xiu turned around and glared at her: "Shut up!"

Shi Lingyan snorted unconvinced, pushed the little Yuanyuan into Zhu Xiu's arms, flicked her braid and ran out of the house.

Zhu Xiu had no choice but to hold Xiao Yuanyuan in her arms and tease her with the rattle. The little girl made a rattle and laughed so much that she drooled.

Zhu Xiu coughed dryly and said solemnly: "This time, Your Majesty has given me permission to take Emperor E south to take up his post. You guys will stay in the capital and take care of the family.

I left Ma Qing here. If anything happens, ask him to inform me.

Huan'er is a big lady, so she should take care of anything. If she encounters troubles that are difficult to solve, she can directly go to the palace to ask for help from His Majesty and the Queen.

Huan'er is pregnant, so you should pay more attention to yourself.

Qingchan usually helps more with the affairs of the house, Yan'er may not be able to count on her."

Feng Qingchan forced a smile and nodded: "Don't worry, sir."

Among the four girls, she is the most disappointed and sad.

Fu Jinhuan was pregnant, so even if she wanted to go with him, Zhu Xiu wouldn't allow it.

Shi Lingyan had Xiao Yuan'er, and besides, she was careless and careless. Once Zhu Xiu left, she would be sad for at most two days, and then she would happily have fun for herself.

Without Zhu Xiu, she would be able to flex her muscles even more in Qianliuzhuang.

Zhou Xian can travel with him and be with him day and night, so he has no regrets.

There was only Feng Qingchan, and once Zhu Xiu left, her life became even more deserted. Apart from visiting her father, there was nothing to miss in the Feng family.

The most important thing is that after leaving, Zhu Xiu didn't come back until after an unknown period of time. Her belly has not been moving for a long time, and now she doesn't know when she will be able to have a child of her own.

Feng Qingchan was silently sad. When the family reunites next time, maybe even Zhou Xian will come back with the baby in his arms.

Feng Qingchan had a hard time with her hands, and she suddenly remembered, could it be that she had taken the anti-abortion drug before, which caused her health condition?

She felt nervous for no reason. At that time, she was only thinking about how to avoid the pregnancy, not anything else.

Besides, the prescription was left by my mentor Yuan Jingrun, so there should be no problem.

Feng Qingchan had many things on her mind. After Zhu Xiu left, she would look for opportunities to visit some of her mentor's living friends and listen to the opinions of those great sages Xinglin.

In the afternoon, Zhu Xiu and Fu Jinhuan entered the palace and had dinner with the emperor and empress.

Fu Jinzhan's face was still haggard. The birth of the prince Chai Zongxun caused considerable damage to her body and even damaged her vitality, making it difficult to recover in a short time.

Fu Jinzhan warned Zhu Xiu that the first priority for him was to ensure his own safety outside. After all, only by preserving a useful body could he serve the emperor and the court.

The empress's earnest advice made Zhu Xiu feel warm and grateful, and she also felt ashamed for her thoughts last night.

In any case, from Cangzhou to now, the eldest lady has always been kind to him.

The two sisters had a deep relationship, and Fu Jinhuan was pregnant again. After Zhu Xiu left, they lived in the palace, and it was good for the sisters to accompany each other and take care of each other.

"Drink this cup and I wish you a safe journey!"

During dinner, Chai Rong raised his glass and said with a smile.

Zhu Xiu hurriedly raised his glass in return. The monarch and his ministers looked at each other, smiled, and downed the drink in one gulp.

Both of them knew in their hearts that after drinking this glass of wine, the next time they met again, they would have to wait until the Huainan war started next year.

The next time we have a hearty meal may be at the celebration banquet after the Southern Expedition.

It was night, Zhu Xiu was a little tipsy, and she was sitting in the carriage with Fu Jinhuan in her arms. The couple was silent all the way.

It seemed that no one wanted to break this rare peaceful and warm moment.

Back at the house, Zhu Xiu was about to go back to the bedroom with her to rest. Fu Jinhuan pushed him and said with a chuckle: "Go to Qingchan's house and comfort her."

Zhu Xiu was startled, then breathed out wine and said, "Seriously? Are you willing to give up this last night?"

Fu Jinhuan rolled her eyes at him and said calmly: "As a housewife, it is natural for me to have this kind of belly."

Zhu Xiu smiled playfully and held out her thumb: "If you are pregnant with your husband's seed, your wife will naturally have a good belly!"

"Fuck you! Don't be ashamed!" Fu Jinhuan hit him in shame and anger, "Go quickly, don't keep people waiting."

Zhu Xiu burped, bowed and said: "I obey my husband's command! Madam, please rest early, I will go to my husband..."

With Ma Qing's support, Zhu Xiu staggered toward the courtyard where Feng Qingchan lived.

Fu Jinhuan sighed softly and went back to the house with his two personal maids.

The next day, Zhu Xiu attended the Dianqiansi meeting as usual. After the meeting, Zhang Yongde and the Dianqiansi generals, large and small, gathered around and said goodbye to him.

Everyone knows that he has been temporarily appointed and is about to rush to Suzhou to take office.

Everyone has different opinions on this matter.

There are those who are happy. After all, in the eyes of many people, becoming a military official and becoming a feudal official is the pinnacle of a warrior's career.

There are also those who gloat over misfortune. Now the imperial court aims to strengthen the central imperial army and weaken local military towns. The glory of Jiedushi no longer exists, and it is far less promising than staying in Kaifeng.

Everyone had their own opinions, so Zhu Xiu naturally would not explain everything one by one, but politely said goodbye to everyone.

In the end, only Zhang Yongde and Zhao Kuangyin were left.

Zhang Yongde smiled and said: "I would like to go somewhere to practice for a few years, but unfortunately I have never had the chance."

Zhu Xiu teased: "There is an opportunity, but Her Highness the Princess refuses to allow it!"

Zhao Kuangyin laughed loudly, and Zhang Yongde was quite embarrassed.

"My dear brother, you left in a hurry, otherwise I would have invited the brothers to serve you a drink and put it into practice." Zhao Kuangyin said.

Zhu Xiugong handed over his hand: "After I leave, Brother Lao Zhao will take good care of the Tiger Wing Army, the Shenyong Army, and the Guangyong Army! You can't favor one over the other with the rewards of the Four Seasons of the Palace Division!"

Zhao Kuangyin patted his chest boldly and said: "Don't worry, dear brother, although they are all soldiers you recruited, they are now your own brothers in front of the palace, and I will treat them equally!"

Zhu Xiu smiled and said: "My consort is my witness! If Pan Mei and Cao Bin come to me later to complain, I will sue His Majesty!"

Zhang Yongde laughed and scolded: "Don't be so naughty, you kid! We can take care of the internal affairs of the Front Office ourselves, why bother Your Majesty? You are shameless, but we want it!"

Zhu Xiu laughed loudly and bowed deeply: "In this case, my two brothers will be able to take care of you!"

Although Zhu Xiu still held the title of Deputy Commander of the Palace Front Division when he left, he was out of reach in Suzhou and could only rely on Zhang Yongde and Zhao Kuangyin to take care of some of his old subordinates.

"I have one more thing to do, I have to ask my consort for help!" Zhu Xiu said with a smile.

Zhang Yongde said: "I know you kid must have bad intentions when you come back to attend the military meeting! Tell me, what kind of autumn wind do you want to take advantage of?"

Zhu Xiu rubbed his hands, "It's like this. It's been four or five years since the Huai Suppressing Army was established, and they only issued winter coats once in the first year. The last time I went back, I saw many soldiers wearing tatters in winter, and they didn't even have basic protection against the cold.

Hard to guarantee.

I heard that the consort still has a batch of newly arrived winter clothes, how about giving them to me to suppress the Huai army first? I calculated, there are more than 20,000 pieces, which is almost enough for the Huai army to change their clothes."

Zhang Yongde laughed and scolded: "What a good boy, you have even found out how much is in the warehouse, and you are just waiting to pluck it out of my hand?"

Zhu Xiugong raised his hand and said: "Prince-in-law, Brother Zhang, please help me!"

Zhang Yongde pondered for a while: "According to the rules, this batch of winter clothes is to be distributed to Zelu, several military towns in the river, and the remaining ones are stored in the warehouse for the next batch.

The Huai Suppression Army is not on the list of military funds released this time."

Zhu Xiu spread his hands: "The Privy Council and the Ministry of War have no spare parts to survive, so we can only count on Brother Zhang for help! As the new commander-in-chief, I must bring some greeting gifts to the sergeants!"

Zhao Kuangyin smiled and said: "You are the veteran commander of the Huai Army. Are you still afraid that the military leaders will not buy it?"

Zhu Xiu said with a smile: "One code equals one code. Isn't it weird if you give gifts to many people?"

Zhang Yongde said: "Since you asked for it, the other side of the river will wait a little and give it to you first! I will send someone to sign the issue later and send someone to transport it to Songzhou by water, and you will send someone to move it yourself.

.I won’t care about it when we get to Songzhou.”

Zhu Xiu quickly shook his head: "You can't go to Songzhou! Just send it to Chenzhou. I'll send someone to Chenzhou to pick it up. That guy Li Chongjin is a green forest bandit. If anything goes to his territory, I have to keep half of it!"

Zhang Yongde laughed and said: "That's right! If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten it."
