Chapter 2064: Cheating his wife into gambling with her life
Jingkou, Nanxiu Village, Meng Chang’s house.
Compared with He Wuji's house, this is a magnificent house, independent of the village of more than a hundred households, on the mountainside, with more than 100 hectares of fertile land in front of the door, and two waterwheels, turning around day and night.
, and the home is the same as the Gaomen in Jiankang City. It is not an ordinary people's home, with just a fence, but a brick wall about eight feet high, painted gray, surrounding the house with a radius of more than ten feet.
Although it could only be regarded as a well-off family in the capital city, in Jingkou, where the folk customs are simple and the overall situation is simple, it can be regarded as one of the best luxury houses.
Meng Chang was standing in the most magnificent main room of this mansion. There were three members of his family living in this large house. The east wing was the bedroom of the couple, and the main room was used for reception and reception.
It is used as a study, and the three rooms on the west are respectively the woodshed and the residences of two servants. Two male servants and two slaves have fallen asleep at this time. There is a slight snoring sound, and the two ends of the yard on one side are
The sound of buffalo grazing echoed in the courtyard.
Meng Chang stood on his own with his hands behind his hands, standing in front of the bed, looking quietly at the yard outside. Behind him, a beautiful middle-aged woman in silk clothes and makeup on her temples was none other than Meng Chang's wife Zhou Yunhui. Meng Chang was rarely known for her talent and learning.
, originally in Jingkou, many people came to him to propose marriage, but he refused, and did not even marry Liu Yi's sister. Instead, he married the Wuxing Zhou family, who has been a rich man in Wu for generations. This Zhou Yunhui Zhou
My wife has been married to Meng Chang for more than ten years, but she has a middle-aged son. The younger son is only two years old. He is currently sleeping in the cradle, while Zhou Yunhui is smiling in front of the bronze mirror.
Putting on makeup, she said: "Husband, please don't be angry with Huan Xuan again. In a few days, I will ask some connections for you to go to Wuxing and find something to do in the house of Shi Huanqian of Wu Dynasty. My brother is now the chief historian of Wu Xing."
, with your ability, Huan Qian will not let you go if Huan Xuan doesn't use you."
Meng Chang suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "That's it, madam, now that things have come to this, let's get divorced."
Zhou Yunhui's expression changed, and a hairpin in her hand fell on the dressing table. She stood up suddenly and looked at Meng Chang: "Meng Yanda, what did you say? You want to divorce me? How have I ever felt sorry for you?
Still, or do you have another woman outside? Tell me clearly!"
Meng Chang turned around, looked at his wife who was trembling slightly with her almond-shaped eyes wide open, and sighed: "Madam, I won't hide it from you until now. Huan Xuan humiliated me in public like this, not only because of Liu Mai's slander, but also because of Liu Mai's slander.
They don't know how to use our old Beifu people. Today, they asked me to get out of here with a topic about the sun, moon, and stars. Tomorrow, they will have my house confiscated and beheaded on charges of treason. I finally understand that the only way to get rid of our Beifu army generals is
Only then can he sit firmly on the throne. You'd better divorce me as soon as possible, so as not to be like Marshal Liu, where the whole family was poisoned. Just leave Lin'er to me, that's it. If I can in the future
If I get rich, I will go to the Zhou family again to welcome my wife back home."
Zhou Yunhui was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "I understand, my husband is going to do something big and raise an army to rebel, right?"
Meng Chang gritted his teeth: "The less you know about this matter, the better. Madam, you and I have been husband and wife for many years, and I don't want to separate when disaster strikes. It's just that Huan Xuan is vicious and cruel. If you don't divorce me, what if I
If things fail, your whole family will be in trouble. I have already written a copy of the letter here. You can take the divorce letter with you and ask A Niu, Xi'er and Ji'er to escort you back to Wuxing early tomorrow morning."
Zhou Yunhui sighed and shook his head: "Meng Yanda, Meng Yanda, you and I have been husband and wife for so many years, do you still want to play this trick with me? I am not an ordinary woman. If you really want to rebel, give me now
Can a divorce letter save my family from trouble? When you tell me this, you don't really want to divorce me. You should be interested in the dowry and money I bring."
Meng Chang's face turned slightly red, and his voice became a little tight: "Madam, I..."
Zhou Yunhui curled up her lips, stepped forward and took Meng Chang's hand, looked directly into her husband's eyes, and said softly: "Actually, I know your ability and the resentment in your heart now. Huan Xuan is broad on the outside but disabled on the inside.
, narrow-minded, ruthless, and definitely not a British master. I didn't approve of it when you approached him to seek a position. Sure enough, you returned after being humiliated. You will not come out with this tone until you overthrow Huan Xuan. These days, you often
You leave early and come back late, without any entourage, and you are mysterious. I know you have big plans to plan. If you tell me these things today, I am afraid that you have already made up your mind. Maybe tomorrow, you will start to make trouble directly. Now that we are here
"Bu, as long as we work together as husband and wife, we can live and die together, let alone just money, even our lives, so what's the pity."
Meng Chang nodded excitedly: "Madam, you have helped me so much. If I succeed this time, I will definitely repay you and the Wuxing Zhou family with a spring of water!"
Zhou Yunhui smiled slightly and turned back to point to his son Zhou Linzi who was still sleeping on the cradle: "If he could sell money to help you succeed, I would sell him too. If I could sell myself to help you leave a name in history, I wouldn't either.
I will hesitate, but I just hope that my husband can make a decision before taking action and achieve great things."
Meng Chang hugged Zhou Yunhui into his arms, kissed her hair, and murmured: "If you have a wife like this, what else can a husband ask for! Madam, just for you, I must do my best!"
A happy blush flashed across Zhou Yunhui's face: "All the money I have here is in the mezzanine of the hole under the bed at home. You can take it all away. What else do you want me to do?"
After Meng Chang was silent for a while, he said: "I want the money this time, not to recruit soldiers. To be honest with you, Madam, the rebels are starting to rise. Tomorrow, we will first raid Jingkou City, capture and kill Huan Xiu and other officials, and then
Control Jingkou City and Jiangcheng Camp, raise the flag to establish righteousness, and Huan Xuan's troops are strong. If we slowly build up an army to fight him, we are afraid that the disaster will be worse. Only by attacking Jiankang with all our strength within half a day can we have a chance to defeat him.
Defeat it in one fell swoop before sending out generals! The incident happened suddenly and it was difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. Therefore, although we did not have time to give each of the Jianyi soldiers a set of military uniforms, we could give each of them a crimson cloth belt to tie on their left arm.
Go up, as a sign of friendly forces."
Zhou Yunhui frowned, raised his head from Meng Chang's arms, and looked at him: "Do you want those crimson cloths from my sister's dyeing workshop? You asked me about this a few days ago, and actually, it's
For the rebels?"
Meng Chang gritted his teeth: "If our uprising fails tomorrow, then everyone will die together. If the uprising succeeds, your sister will definitely be implicated by me. Can Madam understand this?"
Zhou Yunhui sighed, turned around and went behind the screen. Soon, he only heard the sound of a broken jar, and along with the sound of coins scattering on the ground, Zhou Yunhui's voice sounded from behind the screen: "Husband, go call A Niu and Xi'er.
Ask them to escort me to Yunxia's house now, my Zhou sisters, life and death will all depend on you!"
