Married Thrice to Salted Fish

Half a month later, Gu Fuzhou led the reinforcements to the northwest, and Lin Qingyu once again met him.The only consolation is that this time they can at least write to each other, which is the privilege bestowed upon them by the emperor.

Every report sent from the northwest to the capital will be mixed with a family letter written by General Gu to his wife, and both of these will be sent to Lin Qingyu's desk as soon as possible.

Although the memorial and the family letter were written by one person, their styles are quite different.The report is concise and to the point, with appropriate words, all of which are military affairs.During this period of time, under the leadership of Guishuai, the Xixia army was in full swing. After occupying Yongliang, they took down several important towns in the northwest.After Gu Fuzhou led the reinforcements from the capital to arrive, at least he stabilized the morale of the army and their morale improved.

Under the fierce offensive of the Xixia Army, Dayu's army defended Guizhou City.This is the last line of defense in the northwest. Once Guizhou falls, Dayu's northwest gate will be wide open. At that time, Xixia can retreat to the Jiangnan Plain, and advance directly to the capital.

After all, Gu Fuzhou was a man who put on a quilt and went up to the city gate to direct the defense, and he had quite a lot of experience in defending the city.The Northwest Army and the reinforcements worked together. According to the Xixia Army outside the city of Guizhou, they temporarily blocked the advance of Xixia.

These are written simply in the report, only talking about the results, omitting the process and details.But just looking at the number of casualties, you can know the difficulty.But Gu Fuzhou's family letter is like this:

"Qingyu, you definitely won't believe it. Since I came to the northwest, I haven't slept in once. Have you seen my determination to triumph?"

"After discussing with the generals at night, I walked out of the tent and saw the bright stars in the northwest. I suddenly felt that it would be good if you were by my side at this time."

"That Guishuai is a bit powerful. I don't think I'm his opponent. But Wu Youyuan looks very confident. He can talk about tactics for two hours a day-I listened carefully to what he said, and then I started to talk a lot. Lost my hair."

"Qingyu, counting the last time I was in the northwest, I have already won six consecutive victories. I have a hunch that it is coming, my first defeat is coming soon. Help."

……

For some reason, Lin Qingyu was not particularly worried when Gu Fuzhou complained that the Xixia Ghost Commander used soldiers like a god and cried that he was not his opponent.This should be caused by Gu Fuzhou's tone of voice, it is clearly not a good thing to write, but somehow it can make people have confidence in him.This is the man who always does, in begrudging slack, does everything the best he can.

Gu Fuzhou's reassurance to him was never beyond words.This time...presumably it will be the same.

No, it must be the same.

Lin Qingyu's life this year was extremely simple.Although Yuan Yin hung up red silk lanterns in the General's Mansion as in previous years, and the windows were pasted with window grilles, he also asked the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.But Lin Qingyu didn't care about it, so he went back to his room to rest after taking a few mouthfuls.

Inside the room is still the big bed carefully selected by Gu Fuzhou.In order to avoid getting up at night, Gu Fuzhou specially asked the carpenter to build a wooden table that matched the bed, and prepared tea on the table every night, so that when he woke up thirsty at night, he could drink water when he leaned over.

Lin Qingyu was lying on the inside of the bed, his limbs were slightly cold, no matter how thick the quilt was, his body could never warm up.

After four o'clock, Lin Qingyu gave up falling asleep.He got out of bed, put on a fox fur, walked to the table with a candlestick, and wrote down what he thought in his heart: the mandarin duck tiles are cold and frosty, and the emerald quilt is cold.

The first wish is for your husband to live a thousand years, the second wish for the concubine to be healthy, and the third wish to be like Liang Shangyan and see you again every year... After all, it is just a good wish.

After finishing writing, Lin Qingyu lost his mind for a moment and raised his eyes to look towards the northwest skyline.

Burn out the candle, sit alone at dawn.

On the third day of the new year, people came to the general's mansion to pay New Year's greetings.Different from last year, besides many generals, there are also many civil officials who came to the mansion to pay New Year's greetings this year.After the new emperor ascended the throne, all the high-ranking sects in Beijing also understood that apart from General Gu, the general's wife is also a figure not to be underestimated.It is said that he is a fifth-rank medical officer Lin Taiyi, but the word "医" can be changed to "Fu" to be worthy of the name.

Lin Qingyu rejected most of the greeting cards that came to the door, but some people insisted on seeing them.For example, Gu Fuzhou's right-hand man in the army, Wu Zhan.

Wu Zhan was still thinking about his disrespectful words to the general. The first part of this trip was to pay New Year's greetings, and the second part was to make an apology. The gifts he brought took up half of the courtyard. "These are the wishes of the brothers, and I hope Madam will not dislike them."

"No." Lin Qingyu was still polite, "General Wu, sit down. Flower dew, serve tea."

Wu Zhan drank the tea from the General's Mansion, still fidgeting.He and Gu Fuzhou are both warriors, so they are used to not sticking to small details, if they want to apologize, they will apologize openly.But now sitting in front of Lin Qingyu and being watched indifferently by him, those words of apology became ashamed to say.

Lin Qingyu said: "General Wu seems to have something to do."

Wu Zhan went all out: "Then what, before the general went out to fight, I scolded him in a moment of excitement, only to find out later that I misunderstood the general. I feel so guilty..."

Lin Qingyu asked: "Have you talked to the general about this?"

"I said, the general said that he doesn't have the same knowledge as me."

Lin Qingyu nodded: "In this case, I will not be as knowledgeable as you."

Wu Zhan heaved a sigh of relief, grinned and said, "Don't worry, ma'am, next time I will definitely control my violent temper. If I speak rudely to the general again, I will ask myself to go to the stables to feed the horses for three months."

Lin Qingyu asked: "General Wu said just now that he scolded the general in a 'temporary excitement'. I don't know where this 'temporary excitement' came from?"

Wu Zhan felt guilty: "Actually, it wasn't a 'temporary' excitement. At the beginning, I saw that the Northwest was like that, and the general was still indifferent. I was a little angry. Not only me, but Duke Wu also felt that this is not something a general would do. But we also felt that the general may have deep meanings in doing this. So we just said a few words in private, but Cui Xiang heard it."

Prime Minister Cui, Cui Lian, was in his fifties at the time, and was a minister of the late emperor.When Xiao Cheng was the crown prince supervising the country, he also trusted him a lot.This person is quite prestigious in the court, Lin Qingyu has not moved his mind for the time being.

Lin Qingyu asked: "What did Xiang Cui say that filled you with righteous indignation?"

"Cui Xiang said that we don't understand the general. The general has fought for Dayu for more than ten years, and now he is married to a beautiful lady. It is understandable that he is intoxicated with gentleness. Xixia military divisions are full of tricks, and the general is also an ordinary person. It's normal to shrink back from a duel with a 'ghost', let's not be too hard on him."

Lin Qingyu found something wrong: "So Cui Xiang is speaking for the general?"

"Yes, yes." Looking back now, Wu Zhan also felt that something was not quite right. "Cui Xiang also said that the dream of comfort in the capital is what the general deserved after many years of fighting. The words are aimed at the general, but we listen I just got angry, and then I couldn't hold it back, and rushed into the barracks... Oh, I'm confused."

Lin Qingyu fell into deep thought.Was Cui Lian's trip on his own mind, or was he instigated by others?He always thought that this old minister was quite peaceful, but now it seems...he wants to do bad things alone again.

"Ma'am, why didn't the general want to go to the Northwest in the first place." Wu Zhan couldn't help asking, "Is it really because he didn't want the prosperity and wealth of the capital? I don't believe it!"

Lin Qingyu glanced at Wu Zhan, and said: "Because he feels that he will not go to the battlefield and be less involved in the affairs of the Northwest. He is responsible for the 30 Western Conscripts and the common people."

Wu Zhan was shocked and said, "Why would he think so? The General is Dayu's God of War, and the soldiers trust him so much!"

"So he went in the end, for your trust." Lin Qingyu said coldly, "Even if you didn't force him, he would still go."

After all, Mr. Jiang is different from him. In his bones, he is still a gentle boy.

After sending Wu Zhan away, Lin Qingyu ordered Hualu to prepare generous gifts and let Yuan Yin prepare to get off the carriage.Since Cui Lian is willing to speak for his husband, he will naturally come to thank him.

The famous card of the fifth-rank imperial physician was handed over to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the whole of the Prime Minister's Mansion seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, as if they had received an order from the Empress Dowager.Cui Lian personally welcomed Lin Qingyu into the main hall where he received guests. The tea he served was also top-notch, and his attitude was neither warm nor cold, but just polite.

"Frankly, I never thought that Imperial Physician Lin would come to the Prime Minister's residence to pay New Year's greetings." Cui Lian said, "I don't know when the truth fell into the eyes of Imperial Physician Lin."

Lin Qingyu said: "To tell you the truth, Xiang Cui, I didn't intend to do that. I just heard that the general had a good word from Xiang Cui before he set off on the expedition, so I would like to come to thank you."

Cui Lian didn't change his expression, but the hand holding the tea froze: "The general has worked so hard to fight for Dayu. I really can't bear to see the general go to the battlefield reluctantly."

Lin Qingyu said slowly: "But I clearly remember that Cui Xiang once said in the memorial earlier that the general is the best candidate to take command of the Northwest. I don't know why, but Cui Xiang can change his old ways."

Cui Lian was at a loss for words for a while, but he quickly reacted, and said calmly, "The record? The truth is not recorded for the matter of taking command of the Northwest. Did Imperial Physician Lin remember it wrong?"

"So," Lin Qingyu smiled slightly, "Maybe I misremembered."

A beautiful woman showing off her face should be something pleasing to the eye, but Cui Lian was apprehensive and uneasy.He had indeed read this playbook, but the only one who saw that playbook was the Holy One.Did Lin Qingyu really know what he said, or was he trying to trick him?

Before Cui Lian could think about it, Lin Qingyu stood up and said goodbye.Before leaving, Lin Qingyu said: "Cui Xiang is the elder of the two dynasties, the pillar of the country, I hope that the prime minister will think twice before doing anything, and don't do anything stupid."

After Lin Qingyu left, Cui Lian felt uneasy, thought over and over again, and entered the palace while resting.The Holy Majesty had already gone to bed, and it was still that Eunuch Xi who saw him.It was the first time he met the saint alone, and the sage said: Xi Rong's intentions are all my wishes, and Aiqing can treat him as she treats me.

Cui Lian told Xi Rong about today's events in detail: "Eunuch Xi, the truth is that the memorabilia of General Gu's leadership..."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the emperor burned it after reading it. It is impossible for Imperial Physician Lin to see it."

Cui Lian had lingering fears in his heart: "In this way, he really wants to tell the truth. He is really insidious and cunning, and it is impossible to guard against!"

Xi Rong twitched the corners of his mouth: "But the Prime Minister entered the palace to ask for an interviewer when he was resting, didn't he tell Imperial Physician Lin that you have ghosts in your heart?"

Cui Lian suddenly realized, and was immediately annoyed: "The truth has never occurred to this level!"

"Your Excellency, you don't need to blame yourself." Xi Rong said with great interest, "Physician Lin has long understood that what Your Excellency has done is just to give him evidence. Even if there is no evidence, he has already confirmed the fact."

"You mean, he knows all about it?"

Xi Rong narrowed his eyes: "Today, he came to ask you about his crimes, and it will be my turn tomorrow."

At this time, a young eunuch came to Xi Rong: "Eunuch Xi, the emperor has woken up and is looking for you."

"Your Excellency, please take care of this matter, and leave the rest to me." After Xi Rong finished speaking, he hurriedly walked towards the emperor's bedroom.

On the Lantern Festival, Lin Qingyu received another letter from Gu Fuzhou's family: "We won seven consecutive victories, baby, and Wu Youyuan has made great contributions. He deserves to be the man who can destroy Xixia. But he seems to be drifting away, and he always feels that he can beat five with one. But it's not a big problem, I'll stop him from going out for a while——Happy first anniversary of dating."

Gu Fuzhou wrote the last letter from home during the Chinese New Year, and when it was sent to Lin Qingyu, it happened to be the day when they made love.

Lin Qingyu slightly bent his lips, put away the family letter, and put it together with the ring Gu Fuzhou gave him.

In the afternoon, the inner officials of the Ci'an Palace came to the mansion to send a message that the Empress Dowager invited Lin Qingyu into the palace to celebrate the Lantern Festival, and climbed the tower to enjoy the lanterns after sunset.
