my wife is mulan

Before the rice is almost cooked, put the sliced ​​bacon on the rice and steam it together, then plan the dried bamboo shoots into slices, then soak them in boiling water, use bacon as the main ingredient, and bamboo shoots as auxiliary materials to make a Pot hot pot, put it on a small charcoal stove and heat it over low heat.

When the rice is cooked, take out the slices of bacon and serve it on a plate. The two of them each have a bowl of rice.

Hua Mulan sniffed while holding the rice: "It smells so good, it has a special smell of meat and rice!"

"Eat this, stewed bamboo shoots with bacon!" Zhao Junsheng picked up a chopstick of bamboo shoots and put them in Mulan's bowl.

"It's so delicious!" Hua Mulan yelled after eating two mouthfuls, "You go make a table for Mom and the others tomorrow!"

Zhao Junsheng had no choice but to agree with a bitter face.

Chapter 566 Nine Edicts

It snowed heavily for several days in a row. Zhao Junsheng asked his servants to move all the cured goods into the cellar for storage. He also collected a large amount of ice and snow and packed them in water tanks and moved them to the cellar. This would keep the cellar at a low temperature for a long time and facilitate the storage of food. . ----Fast update, no anti-theft on 16595---

The Chinese New Year is coming up in a few days, and this year's Chinese New Year is more lively than usual, at least with relatives around, Zhao Junsheng thinks so.

On New Year's Eve, at noon, Zhao Junsheng, Hua Mulan and adopted son Wei Jing had a reunion dinner with Liang Ji's family at the governor's mansion, and at night he took Wei Jing to Huafu to have a reunion dinner with his mother-in-law and brother-in-law.

Don't think that there is no New Year's atmosphere without firecrackers and fireworks these days. During this time of the year, bamboo poles are burned. Bamboo poles are sealed and hollow. Once burned, they will make a crackling sound, which is similar to setting off firecrackers. That's why it's called firecrackers.

After the invention of gunpowder, it was found that the sound of firecracker explosion was similar to that of firecrackers, but the sound was much louder and could maintain a continuous explosion. Therefore, firecrackers were used instead of firecrackers, but some thick firecrackers were as thick as bamboo poles, so they were still called firecrackers.

After having dinner at the mother-in-law's house, Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan took Wei Jing back to the Governor's Mansion, and they still had to watch the New Year's Eve at their own home.

The three of them and Liang Ji's family kept watch until late at night before going to bed.

Early the next morning, after Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan got up, Wei Jing also got up to wish them New Year greetings. Zhao Junsheng gave him a red envelope: "This is a lucky bag, take it!"

"Thank you my father!"

Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan went to pay New Year's greetings to Liang Ji and his wife. When it was their turn for their younger children to pay them New Year's greetings, Zhao Junsheng gave them each a lucky bag.

In the next few days, Zhao Junsheng would give a lucky bag to every child who wished him New Year's greetings.Since then, it has become a tradition to give lucky bags to children during the Chinese New Year. Those who have money will give more, and those who have no money will give less. It is mainly for celebration.

After the Lantern Festival on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, Zhao Junsheng started to get busy after a whole day of bustle. Spring plowing, water conservancy dredging, and seeds in civil affairs were the top priorities.In terms of commerce and trade, because the ice and snow began to melt, the roads became smooth, and the trade between the north and the south became more frequent.

When Zhao Junsheng was busy with government affairs and military affairs, Hua Mulan took care of the housework at home and took care of the family business with Liang Ji. She took care of everything inside and out in an orderly manner.

But the good times didn't last long. At the end of the first lunar month, a group of people from Pingcheng suddenly arrived at the governor's mansion, and the leader was actually the eunuch in the palace.

Zhao Junsheng immediately greeted him with officials from the governor's office, "I don't know why the imperial envoy is here?"

The leading eunuch said to Zhao Junsheng: "General Zhao, the emperor has a decree for General Anbei and Hua Mulan, Marquis of Jiyang. Please let General Hua come out to receive the decree?"

Zhao Junsheng had a bad premonition, but he had no choice but to send someone to the backyard to find Hua Mulan. ---- Fast update, no anti-theft ---

When Hua Mulan came out, the eunuch took out the imperial decree and read it out. The main content was that the three-month vacation given by the imperial court to Hua Mulan was over, and Hua Mulan was asked to go to Pingcheng to take up a new post within one month.

Hua Mulan looked at Zhao Junsheng, Zhao Junsheng signaled Hua Mulan to follow up the imperial decree first, and the eunuchs who announced the decree must not be prevented from stepping down.

He kept these eunuchs and the Habayashi soldiers who followed them to stay.

At night, the couple discussed how to deal with this matter in the room.

Seeing Zhao Junsheng's frown, Hua Mulan couldn't help but said, "Brother Junsheng, the emperor's decree has been issued, if I don't go, I will disobey the decree..."

"No! Now that you are married and a woman, the imperial court should not use you anymore because of love and reason. I don't know what Zong Ai thinks. He always stares at you. Is it possible that apart from you, this imperial court can't play well?" Is it?" Zhao Junsheng said angrily.

Hua Mulan didn't know what to do, "Then how do you deal with this matter?"

?You can't ignore the edict, can you? "

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while and said: "How about this, you write a letter to decline, saying that you are not feeling well, and it is difficult to leave within a month, please allow some time, wait another month, if the imperial court sends an edict to summon you Capital, you just decline on the grounds that you are pregnant!"

Hua Mulan nodded after hearing this: "This is a way to delay, but... If I am not pregnant in a month, it will not be easy to get rid of it? This crime of deceiving the emperor is not a joke!"

Zhao Junsheng grabbed Hua Mulan's waist and said with a smile, "It's not easy. Let's work harder this month, do more human-making exercises, and strive to successfully create a human within a month!"

Hua Mulan blushed, and lightly hit Zhao Junsheng with her fist: "Not serious!"

What Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan didn't expect was that in the next few days, an edict would be sent from Pingcheng every day, and each order ordered Hua Mulan to return to Beijing immediately to take up a new position. There are nine copies of the first imperial edict.

On the night of February [-]th, Hua Mulan put on the table one by one the nine edicts calling her back to Beijing to take up a new position, and said bitterly, "Am I so favored? The imperial court actually issued nine edicts in succession." make!"

The current imperial court is absolutely controlled by Zong Ai, and these nine edicts must have been ordered by Zong Ai. Zhao Junsheng couldn't figure out what Zong Ai meant and what plans he had.

But in any case, both Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan knew that the strategy of delaying the trip to the capital would not work. The imperial decree took things seriously.

Zhao Junsheng frowned: "I always feel that Zong Ai has some malicious intentions. In order to get you to work in the capital, he actually issued nine edicts in a row. Is it worth it? What made him spend so much money?"

Hua Mulan silently put away the nine edicts, and said to Zhao Junsheng: "It's okay not to go, unless we want to rebel. Brother Junsheng, after I leave, mother and younger brother, please take care of me!"

Zhao Junsheng sighed: "Mulan, you and I are a husband and wife. My mother-in-law is like my biological mother, and Xiaoxiong is like my brother. How can I ignore them?"

Hua Mulan nodded: "With you here, I don't worry. I'm going to pack my things!"

Zhao Junsheng got up and walked out of the room, came to the front yard, and told a soldier standing guard: "Go and call Li Bao and Lu Xuanbo!"

Not long after, Lu Xuanbo and Li Bao both came to Zhao Junsheng, "General!"

Zhao Junsheng said: "Presumably you also know that the imperial court has issued nine edicts to let Mulan go to the city to perform duties. Zong Ai is a sinister and cunning person. He often acts after making decisions. I can't guess the truth of his actions. Intention, even Dongfang Chen can't figure out whether Mulan will go to the capital this time, I am very worried!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Junsheng said to the two of them: "I would like to invite both of you to go to the capital with Mulan!"

Li Bao and Lu Xuanbo said: "If you go through fire and water, you will never hesitate!"

"Okay! Li Bao, you are the captain of Mulan's bodyguard. Lao Lu, you are in the dark, so don't show up easily, and deal with some dangers from the dark!"

The two clasped their hands together and agreed, "Yes!"

Two days later, Hua Mulan set off for Pingcheng with Li Bao and fifty bodyguard cavalry, and Zhao Junsheng sent them thirty miles outside the city.

"Mulan, we have a secret contact point in Pingcheng, which is mainly used to deliver messages. The speed will be much faster than normal message delivery. If you have important matters, you can send someone there, but you don't want to go by yourself. Even Li Bao and the people close to you are not allowed to go, so as not to be exposed!"

"Well, I see! Brother Junsheng, after I leave, you have to eat well, rest on time, and don't be too tired!" Hua Mulan reminded.

Zhao Junsheng shook Mulan's hand and nodded.

After sending Hua Mulan away, Zhao Junsheng put his main energy on the training of the army, often lived in the barracks, and ate and lived with the soldiers.

Within a few days, news came from Pingcheng that the emperor had appointed Zong Ai as General, Prince and Grand Master, Secretary of the Central Committee, and Superintendent of Chinese and foreign military forces.

king.

This canonization stunned all the subjects in the world. Any one of these positions is enough to become an important minister of the court, let alone so many positions in one person.

There is also the official position of "supervisor of Chinese and foreign military forces". Here, Zhongwai means the Chinese army and foreign troops. This official position is actually the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses.
