On the wedding night, the villain husband cried and his eyes turned red

"Thank you for your hard work, military masters. Lord Shang Wen heard that the weather in Hezhou is cold this year, so he sent me some gifts so that everyone can have a happy and lively winter solstice!"

With that said, the seemingly young boy called on his men to move and prepare to unload the supplies from the carriage one by one.

The soldiers of Hezhou have been guarding here for many years and have long seen through the warmth and coldness of the world. Even the common people in Yong'an City may not have a good look when they see these little soldiers guarding Hezhou.

On the contrary, these so-called cheap merchants, even though they had some agenda, still sent supplies on the day of the winter solstice, saying that they would have a good holiday.

They did not sit idle and watch the excitement, but took action and helped the Wen family's servants unload the goods from the carriage. Some people even looked at the young man who was obviously in charge of this group of people and said kindly:

"Little brother, what's your name?"

When he heard a soldier talking to him, the young boy seemed flattered and said respectfully:

"Master Jun, my name is Wen Youcai. If you don't mind, just call me Youcai. If you shout, the wealth will be in your hands!"

Wen Youcai's words were pleasing to the eye, and after a while, greetings could be heard one after another in the military camp:

"Youcai, how old are you this year?"

"You are wealthy. Your surname is Wen. How are you related to the emperor Shang Wen Yidi?"

"If you have money, you can stay and eat dumplings later!"

"Have wealth...have wealth..."

In just a moment, Wen Youcai had become one with these soldiers.

"Brothers, I still have business to do in Yong'an City, so I won't stay for dinner this time. Wait until next time, next time I take care of my business at home and then come over, I will definitely have a drink with all the brothers. !”

After some polite words, Wen Youcai managed to get out, got on the carriage and hurried back.

"General Cheng, look..."

Cheng Huaiyuan slowly walked over after the people left. During his years in Yong'an City, he had already experienced the Wen family's behavior. If he were present, I don't know how long the greetings would last.

General Guan just sent someone to send a message. If the Wen family sends something over, it will follow. The carriage just now was covered tightly with straw, and it was impossible to see what was inside.

Even if someone discovered it, they still couldn't figure out why the Wen family, an imperial businessman, was connected with the Guan family army.

"Find a few people to record the types and quantities of these things and hand them over to me, and then divide them up."

Hearing Cheng Huaiyuan's words, the deputy general instantly beamed with joy. He had just taken a quick look and found that the items sent by the Wen family were all good things. Not to mention having a good winter solstice, even the New Year is more than enough.

Cheng Huaiyuan returned to the camp and frowned when he looked at the details presented by the deputy general.

Cotton clothes, cotton shoes, quilts, charcoal fires, grain, vegetables, meat... It can be said that everything is what the soldiers need most at the moment.

What's more, under each box of things, there is a layer of broken silver. All together, there were five thousand taels. What is the Wen family's plan?

Cheng Huaiyuan ran outside the camp and could vaguely hear bursts of laughter from the soldiers.

"Emperor Merchant? Your Majesty? I have been guarding this miserable place for half my life. This is the first time I have seen so many good things. They are actually sent by the Wen family!"

"Let me tell you, there is no distinction between high and low among people. When we came here, we didn't also think that one day we would be successful. What happened? Who can look down on us, a bunch of stinky people?"

……

Cheng Huaiyuan did not expect that just these things would be enough to change the attitude of the soldiers towards the merchants. He felt uneasy in his heart and hurriedly went to General Guan to discuss the matter.

"Huaiyuan, do you really have no affection for Shihuan?"

After listening to Cheng Huaiyuan's words, General Guan did not rush to explain to him, but brought the topic back to him and Xu Shihuan. General Guan had asked him this question for the third time.

Like the previous two times, Cheng Huaiyuan still answered no.

He was naughty when he was young, and there were countless warblers and swallows around him early on. Later, when I came to General Guan, I discovered my talent in leading troops in war. He knew that if he chose this path, he would be prepared to die on the battlefield at any time.

Therefore, when it comes to his marriage, he does not insist on finding a woman who is in love with him. He only hoped that his future wife could support the family by herself. Even if one day he was gone, his wife and children could still live a good life.

Cheng Huaiyuan believed that Xu Shihuan could do this, and even do it well. But although he didn't have feelings for Xu Shihuan between a man and a woman, he had a brotherly relationship and even a father-daughter love.

He thought he was not a good candidate for a husband, and he sincerely hoped that Xu Shihuan would marry a good man, and it would be best if he could get some credit.

Hearing Cheng Huaiyuan's decisive answer, Guan Yi breathed a sigh of relief. He poured a cup of hot tea and put it into Cheng Huaiyuan's hand. Seeing Cheng Huaiyuan taking a sip in flattery, he finally spoke with confidence:

"Do you know what kind of person Wen Yidi is?"

Cheng Huaiyuan was still immersed in the happiness of General Guan pouring him a cup of hot tea. He was stunned for a while when he heard this. However, he still answered honestly:

"Restrain oneself and observe etiquette, and keep every drop of water from leaking."

General Guan tried his best and was not satisfied with his answer, so he continued:

"Let's talk about it in detail, all aspects."

Cheng Huaiyuan smiled sheepishly and recounted the important things about bullying Wen Yidi when he was studying. He also mentioned that the last time he and Xu Shihuan met at Qiongxian Building, Wen Yidi even came into the room to deliver food.

Speaking of this, Cheng Huaiyuan's heart suddenly sank. He raised his head and looked at the smile on Old General Guan's face, and made a bold guess in his mind.

"The Wen family bought our cattle and sheep at high prices and gave us money and things. Could it be that they were doing it for Shi Huan?"

General Guan shook his head and explained:

"No, he did this to give Guan Jiajun a good impression of the Wen family."

Cheng Huaiyuan was relieved. He just said, with Wen Yidi's status, if Xu Shihuan wanted to have fun, it would be no problem. How could he let General Guan know about it openly?

He drank all the tea in the cup and was about to ask Wen Yidi why he wanted the soldiers to have a good impression of the Wen family. Unexpectedly, General Guan said again:

"If you don't leave a good impression, if Shihuan gets tired of him in the future and wants to give up, then there won't even be anyone to speak for him."

Cough cough cough...

Cough cough cough...

Cheng Huaiyuan was so anxious that he choked hard on his own saliva. After he adjusted for a while and finally straightened his breathing, he asked in a trembling voice:

"General, you just said, who started to rebel against Wen Yidi and finally abandoned him?"

"Xu Shihuan! You don't know, right? The two of them have recently..."
