Chapter thirty-seven happy meeting

??In Xiyang County Duke Mansion, Yuwen Wen was gathering with his wives and concubines to celebrate that his eldest son Que Ge is one year old. At noon this day, he had just rushed back to Xiyang from Anlu and had not yet entered the city. He then went to the pig farm to guide his work and then participated in the competition in the military camp. He personally distributed the rewards and went to the evening to escape from the military camp and rush back to the mansion.

Because he had notified him in advance when he would come back, he finished his shower and changing clothes and dinner was just ready. The whole family gathered happily to watch the protagonist Xiaoque Ge appear today.

Brother Que started to learn to walk and could already "snake-like maneuver" without anyone helping him. Looking at his son's staggering look, Yuwen Wen smiled so hard that he held the little guy up and turned around for a few circles before stopping.

According to the custom, babies should undergo a "test" when they are over one year old, which is commonly known as "catching the Zhou Dynasty". Yuwen Wen sat on the ground in the hall with his eldest son who was already bathed and wearing new clothes. He placed his bows, arrows, paper and pens, as well as many kinds of pastries and precious jewelry in front of him. In order to see which baby chooses.

Naturally, the baby of this age doesn't understand anything, so what he wants to take is entirely based on his instinct. Therefore, there is a saying that you can know what he is good at or like in the future by looking at the dazzling array of things in front of him. Brother Que looked at the dazzling array of things in front of him and crawled towards the bow and arrow and grabbed it.

Of course, this bow and arrow is not used in normal military service, but toy-level bamboo bow and arrow. Seeing the eldest son holding the bow and arrow, Yu Wen Wen narrowed his eyes: It’s good to be martial, but he can only recite poems and write calligraphy in this era, but he cannot achieve success!

Mrs. Yuchi Chifan sat aside with her eldest son Jilang holding her, smiling. Jilang was now almost nine months old and she had already crawled. After a few months, it was time to start learning to walk, and her responsibilities were getting heavier and heavier.

As the main room, the children born in the side room must recognize her as their mother and raise her. Even if the children born in the side room call their biological mother, they can only be called "auntie" and "auntie" in later generations.

So as the concubine's son Que Ge gradually grew up, she was responsible for raising him. Yuchi Chifan, who was already suffering from sleep by Jilang, is now suffering from suffering from lack of sleep. Although the two little guys are taken care of by the wet nurse, she dare not be careless at all.

Jilang was so sad that he was hitting and touching. If Brother Que was injured, someone else would poke her back and scold her for being abused.

As a person with a special origin, Yu Wen Wen thought about "fair treatment" at home, but in the end he gave up. The strict etiquette and law of this era are not something he can resist alone.

Taking sitting as an example, sitting in this era is different from sitting after the Song Dynasty. Although Hu beds have become popular, sitting in Hu beds makes your legs sag is a sign of rudeness (except for military affairs). Even sitting in this way is so natural for the husband to raise all the children of a husband. If you do something randomly, there will be big problems.

Because if the main wife cannot raise the side child, it means that she is extremely disgusted by her husband and is not far from being retired.

Naturally, Yuwen Wen will not divorce his wife or neglect his wife. Brother Que has to leave Yang Lihua after he is one year old, although it is a bit inhumane, but it still has to be like this. Otherwise, all kinds of thoughts of servants in the mansion will arise.

They would think that the mistress had fallen out of favor, so it was foreseeable that she would flatter Yang Lihua or disobey her mistress. Yuchi Chifan's prestige would plummet and be wronged. In the face of grievance, she would be angry that Yang Lihua would be involuntarily in everyday intrigue. If this is true, Yuwen Wen's backyard would be uneasy. This is a situation he tried his best to avoid.

Yuwen Wen could not reverse the traditional inertia with his own strength, so he could only follow the local customs. Just like he was not used to "sitting", he had to "sitting". His stepdaughter Yuwen Eying was able to continue to call Yang Lihua to be "Amn" as his greatest effort.

"It should have been a celebration yesterday, but my husband is still working in Anlu for a while and I can't get out of here. Today I will give you three drinks of wine for the first time!" Yuwen Wen was shameless and punished himself with three glasses of wine. In order to get more 'robberies', he failed to come back in time in Anlu, and his face was getting thicker and thicker.

Yang Lihua took her son and teased her with a happy smile on her face. As a veteran, she also knew that it was helpless to raise her son from the side by her husband: when she was in the palace, the prince Yuwen Yun was taught by her on weekdays, and her biological mother Zhu Manyue could not interfere too much.

However, when she thought of Yuwen Yun who had passed away, she couldn't help but feel sad: He is just a nine-year-old child... Father, why are you so cruel...

The abdicated young emperor Yuwen Yun has "died illness", but for those who are a little smart, they know that there is something strange about this "died illness". Yang Lihua can naturally guess what is going on, but she is still very sad about the cruelty of the struggle for the palace.

Xiao Jiuniang, who was sitting opposite, glanced at Yang Lihua's infatuation and quickly lowered her head. She was pregnant and was about to become a mother next year. At that time, her flesh and blood that she had given birth to ten months of pregnancy would also recognize her husband as her mother. She called herself an "auntie". Thinking of this, she felt mixed feelings and couldn't help but feel warm.

Yuchi Chifan was teasing his son Jilang and did not notice the abnormality of the two "sisters". However, Yuwen Wen immediately realized that the situation was wrong and immediately coughed a few times and then asked the maid to serve the food. He could understand the feeling of "separation" of the mother and son, but he could only slowly relieve it.

The situation is not good! You have to be more careful in the future, otherwise you will be unable to hold it!

The dishes served were much more hearty than before. Since Yuwen Wen tried his best to get the cast iron pot, the magic tool, and the recipes in the mansion were officially updated after several twists and turns. The most popular ones are naturally the elbow and Dongpo Pork.

The cooking technology in the past few days is that it is not the saying "frying" but mainly cook, cook and roast. When the chef in the house saw an iron pot for the first time, he thought that this thing was used to cook soup. Later, Yuwen Wen took the time to toss it a few times before he let the other party understand what "frying" is.

When cooking, you have to use oil. In this era, meat oil is still the main one. Vegetable oil (vegetable oil) will be fully promoted after the Song Dynasty. From the perspective of the future, not everyone can accept it. But now, this "frying" is still a new thing. Where can anyone care about this?

However, two women from the background of Yuchi Chifan and Yang Lihua, who are born with fine clothes and food, really don’t like the fishy smell of lard. Xiao Jiuniang was used to eating simple food for a while and was not used to it. Yuwen Wen had no choice but to make two killing weapons, such as elbows and Dongpo pork, to be considered a way to calm down.

The eating habit of the elbow is too "big opening and closing" and is not suitable for the three beauties. Yuwen Wen didn't want them to eat elbows as generously as a big man who clenched his feet, which was a ladylike demeanor, so he took a compromise method: make the elbows cut into pieces before letting them enjoy it.

Dongpo pork is much better. Just cut the meat into smaller pieces. With this treatment, two new dishes made the three beauties finally have a "elegant" meal. Yu Wen Wen doesn't have to worry about the ugly appearance that makes him surprised.

Yuwen Eying didn't care so much that she saw "Aye" chewing elbows and gnawing happily. Now, the two of them were gnawing with sauce elbows at the banquet, while the other three were holding slices of meat with chopsticks and chewing slowly.

While eating and talking about family matters, Yang Lihua and Xiao Jiuniang also recovered from their different thoughts. While the family was talking and laughing, the housekeeper Li Sanjiu came to report that the Lord Bo Zheng Tong had something to ask for a meeting.

Yuwen Wen went out for a while and then turned back. After dinner calmly, he explained to Yuchi Chifan and Yang Lihua a few words before calling Xiao Jiuniang and letting her go with him.

Xiao Jiuniang followed Yuwen Wen and walked in the corridor with a little nervous. She was worried that the loss of composure at the banquet just now made her husband suspicious. When she was about to explain, the other party held her hand and said softly: "Don't think so much, things won't go bad."

She was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said nothing, and let Yuwen Wen pull him to the outer courtyard. While she was confused, she heard her husband telling her to take her to meet someone.

‘See someone?’ Xiao Jiuniang wondered in her heart that she had no acquaintances in Bazhou, except for her parents and a few brothers and sisters who were far away in Liang State, there was no need for the people in the mansion to be like this.

‘Could it be!’ Her heart suddenly jumped up because she remembered a possibility but didn’t dare to think deeply. After coming to the study with a complicated mood, Yuwen Wen asked her to sit behind the screen. After a while, Zhang Yu led someone in.

"I am the governor of Bazhou Yuwen Wen, who are you?"

"Lower Zhang Ke." The man replied, Xiao Jiuniang behind the screen heard the voice and the words suddenly covered her mouth.

"Zhang Ke, I heard from Zheng Zhubo that you are the brother of Queen Zhang of Liang. Why is he in... Wuchang?"

"Envoy Yuwen. Last year, Chen's army invaded Liang Kingdom to attack Jiangling. That day, Zaixia and his niece were helpless outside the city and had no choice but to hide everywhere. When they were at the Piqua Temple..." The man told the whole story one by one, and it was Zhang Ke who met Xu Shao, who complained by the other driver, on the side of the Santai River embankment.

The Zhou army ambushed Chen Jun in the loquat forest. He was mistakenly thought by the defeated Chen Jun, so he took him all the way to Jiangnan. After being discovered that he was from Liang, he became a slave and worked in Wuchang. As a result, the Zhou army attacked Wuchang this time and was taken to Xiyang.

Yuwen Wen looked at Zhang Ke, who was identified by Zheng Tong as the brother of Queen Zhang of Liang Kingdom, pondered for a moment and made a decision. He stood up and pulled the screen away and invited Xiao Jiuniang out.

Zhang Ke was a little strange when he saw Yuwen Wen get up, but when he saw the woman walking out of the screen, he was stunned at first and then stunned: "Jiu...Jiu Niang?!!"

"Uncle!" Xiao Jiuniang ran forward and hugged Zhang Ke, and then the two of them hugged their heads and cried. Yuwen Wen couldn't help but hopped when he saw that his woman was so close to other men.

‘Forget it, who said that she was her uncle? She was an uncle like her biological father…’ Yuwen Wen sighed helplessly and sat aside.

Xiao Jiuniang was born in February by her father, the Emperor of Liang State Xiao Kui, then sent him out of the palace to raise his brother Xiao Ji and his wife. Unexpectedly, Xiao Ji and his wife died one after another, confirming the rumors that Xiao Jiuniang was ominous, so he transferred it to Zhang Ke, the brother of Queen Zhang.

Zhang Ke and his wife pulled the poor little princess and grew up like their biological daughter. After his wife passed away, Zhang Ke even relied on Xiao Jiuniang for life. Although he lived for the country, he was very difficult to maintain. Xiao Jiuniang had to help with housework on weekdays.

If we follow the normal historical trajectory, this princess of Liang, who grew up in the people, would be elected as the second son of Emperor Sui, King Yang Guang, of Jin, and married far away in Chang'an. More than 20 years later, she became Empress Xiao, a famous man in history, and experienced the prosperity and withering of the Yang and Sui Dynasty and the prosperity of Zhenguan in the Li Tang Dynasty.

However, all this changed with Yu Wen Wen's "change".

When Chen army invaded Liang State to attack Jiangling, Zhang Ke and Xiao Jiuniang, who were outside the city, could not return to the city, and then hid in the Piqua Temple. Just as Chen army rushed into the Piqua Temple, Zhang Ke rushed out, protecting the beautiful Xiao Jiuniang, and finally separated. Xiao Jiuniang met Yuwen Wen, and Zhang Ke was captured to the south of the Yangtze River after several twists and turns. Chen State Yingzhou Wuchang, which was finally met Xiao Jiuniang here again.
