Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

The Duke's Mansion, a side courtyard.

Feng Chaoying had finished chanting Buddhist scriptures and was about to have his meal when Zhu Sui'an walked in carrying a large lunch box.

"Take all these away." Zhu Sui'an said to the maid.

Feng Chaoying frowned slightly and said, "Dingbian, what are you doing?"

Zhu Sui'an opened the food box and took out the food inside one by one, saying, "A skilled chef has come to Linshui. I specially asked someone to ask him to prepare this meal. Please try it."

Feng Chaoying said, "Dingbian, this isn't good. You should take it and eat it with your wife."

Zhu Sui'an said calmly: "This meal can only be eaten by you, no one else is qualified."

Feng Chaoying asked, "Why?"

Zhu Sui'an said: "No reason, just eat it."

"And after this meal, I don't know when we'll be able to have dinner together again."

Feng Chaoying's expression changed slightly, and he asked, "Dingbian, what happened?"

Zhu Sui'an signaled the maids to leave, then pulled Feng Chaoying to sit down and said, "The Li family of Western Xia is dishonest again. They unilaterally closed the salt fields and demanded a high annual gift from Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty is not prepared to indulge them any longer and wants to eliminate the scourge of Western Xia in one fell swoop."

"In a few days, I will lead the troops to war."

Feng Chaoying asked in confusion, "Shouldn't the Yongkang Army be responsible for the Xixia issue? Why are you being transferred there as well?"

"And if a war breaks out with Xixia, the Liao Kingdom will most likely mobilize its troops as well. What will happen to Linshui?"

Zhu Sui'an said, "I will only take half of the troops with me, and I will also arrange for Pei Ming to stay behind to guard Linshui."

"If the Liao Kingdom really attacks, we can hold out for ten days or half a month with half of the Dingbian Army. By then, the Qinzhou Prefecture's army can rush over to support us."

"And in the secret letter he sent me, His Majesty also mentioned that he would write an imperial letter to Empress Xiao of Liao, asking her not to interfere in the war between Dayan and Xixia."

"Besides, the Liao Kingdom is currently unstable. Several princes are fighting fiercely. It's impossible to go south before the winner is decided."

"This is also the reason why Your Majesty dares to use military force against Xixia. If we miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to deal with Xixia later."

Feng Chaoying said, "But we've fought against Xixia for so many years and still haven't conquered it. Will we be able to do it this time?"

Zhu Sui'an said slowly: "I don't know."

"But as a soldier, the only thing I can do is to give my all on the battlefield."

Feng Chaoying bit her lip, her eyes showing a hint of pain, and said, "Dingbian, you have to come back."

"I've already lost a man, I can't..."

These words made Zhu Sui'an's heart suddenly tighten.

Zhu Sui calmed himself down and said, "Don't worry, even if I die, I will crawl back and die by your side."

Feng Chaoying lowered her head, clutching the corners of her clothes with both hands, her knuckles turning white: "Stop talking..."

Zhu Suian said: "Okay, let's not talk about this and eat."

"This chef's cooking skills are really good."

Feng Chaoying picked up the chopsticks and picked up some food for Zhu Suian.

Zhu Suian took great effort to push the corners of his mouth back.

……

Chen family.

Chen Lang's hands moved back and forth around Li Xiuzhi's waist, but there was no trace of desire in his eyes.

Li Xiuzhi also felt that something was wrong with Chen Lang. Chen Lang had pounced on her in the past few days.

Today, he only touched my waist, and didn't even touch my favorite breasts.

Is it because I have no charm anymore?

Li Xiuzhi raised her upper body, and her huge breasts were like two upside-down water droplets, especially the two bright red spots, which could not be concealed even in the dark night.

"Erlang, what are you thinking about?" Li Xiuzhi asked, tapping Chen Lang's nose.

Chen Lang glanced down and suddenly became nervous, then took it in one gulp.

Li Xiuzhi snorted, feeling very happy in her heart.

It seems that my charm is still there.

After Chen Lang finished his boast, he hugged Li Xiuzhi to his chest and said, "Let me think about what Pei Ming said to me today. What exactly did he mean?"

Li Xiuzhi drew circles on Chen Lang's belly button with her fingers and asked, "What did General Pei tell you?"

"He told me not to go to the capital." Chen Lang said.

Li Xiuzhi's hand moved down a little further and said, "It's nothing, actually, I don't want you to go to the capital."

"When I lived with Master's wife before, she told me that the capital city is a man-eating monster. If you are not careful, you will be eaten clean, skin and bones."

Chen Lang hissed and said, "Madam, slow down."

"Whether we go to the capital or not is irrelevant. The key point is that Pei Ming said this. I always feel it's very strange."

Li Xiuzhi deliberately quickened her pace and said, "I don't think there's anything strange about it."

Chen Lang said, "You devil, you always go against your husband, don't you?"

"See how your husband will deal with you."

After a battle, Li Xiuzhi fell asleep with a satisfied smile.

Chen Lang was not sleepy at all. He put on his coat and tiptoed into the yard.

Looking at the bright moon in the sky, the words Pei Ming had said in the past were like the drops of water at the bottom of a well, slowly floating up to the surface.

"Keep going, many people are watching to see how far you can go."

"If it's not necessary, don't go to the capital."

What does it mean? These big shots can't just say what they want to say directly, always leaving people guessing.

I've been guessing for so long that I'm exhausted.

……

Chen Lang’s biggest advantage is that he won’t force himself to think about things he doesn’t understand.

After one night, Pei Ming's meaningless words were thrown back to Java by Chen Lang.

During breakfast, the owner of Guhonglou came to visit with his carefully selected storyteller.

"Mr. Chen, his name is Tian Yuzhu, and he is one of the best storytellers in Linshui."

Chen Lang had just taken a bite of a steamed bun when he heard the name. The bun almost slipped into his trachea. It took a lot of effort to avoid the tragic end of choking to death.

"What's his name?" Chen Lang asked after taking a sip of tea.

"My name is Tian Yuzhu." The storyteller replied with a bow.

"Lick Jade Feet?" Chen Lang nodded and said, "Sir, your name... is really great!"

Tian Yuzhu said, "My father spent two taels of silver to ask a scholar to choose this name for me."

"I like it too."

Chen Lang thought, could it be that this scholar came from Zhouba and traveled through time and space, and deliberately gave people this name?

However, neither the shopkeeper nor Tian Yuzhu could guess Chen Lang's little thoughts.

The shopkeeper said, "Mr. Chen, is the storybook ready?"

Chen Lang signaled Xiao Qi to go to the study and get the storybook.

"Here are three stories, Mr. Tian, take a look first."

"The story is short, so Mr. Tian can insert some of his own ideas in the middle. As long as it does not deviate from the main storyline, Mr. Tian can do whatever he wants."

After reading the first story of "Nie Xiaoqian", Mr. Tian stood up and bowed deeply to Chen Lang.

"Young Master is a great talent!"
