After time travel, my best friend and I exchanged supplies and became a rich woman

Time passes quickly in the busy day.

In the spring of the following year, Song Ke finally helped the emperor regain military power in the southeast coast and returned triumphantly.

Although General Kuang has not yet been dismissed from office or investigated by the emperor, his power has been completely stripped away.

The people were already on their way back to the capital under escort by the imperial guards.

Regarding the issue of regaining military power in the southeast, the petition that Song Ke wrote to the emperor was only two pages long.

But in fact, he had been the target of assassination attempts over the past few months. The wealthy clans in the southeast also said one thing in public and another in private.

For a while, Song Ke had become numb from being stabbed in the back by these people.

Fortunately, the emperor sent out governors and censors one after another.

In addition, Song Ke himself had not done anything that violated military discipline and was particularly difficult to kill, so he was able to gradually gain a foothold in the southeast.

Song Ke is a man who is not good at speaking, has low emotional intelligence and seems to have a somewhat lukewarm temperament.

But when it comes to leading troops in battle, he has a quick and impetuous personality.

So after gaining a firm foothold, Song Ke took drastic measures and openly fought against General Kuang's faction.

It was precisely because of Song Ke's courage and hard work that the military power in the southeast was returned to the emperor's hands within just a few months.

Of course, being able to take back the military power was definitely not just because Song Ke was brave and hardworking.

Among those who contributed, in addition to Song Ke, there were people like Zhang Dezhao, the eldest grandson of the richest man's family, who helped in the battle and in buying food and horses; and people like Chang Wu Nanfeng, Song Ke's old subordinates, who also contributed a lot.

More...

All in all, although Song Ke can be regarded as the main contributor to this victory, he cannot be said to be the only contributor.

So when the emperor was rewarding people based on merit, he not only promoted Song Ke to several levels, directly making him the second-rank Dragon and Tiger General, but also promoted Dadunzi, Changwu, Nanfeng and other people who worked with Song Ke.

Minister Zhang never imagined that his eldest son would one day become a captain.

Although his official position is only seventh rank, but...he is still an official after all.

You know, when his son ran away from home, he was still semi-illiterate...

So when facing his elder brother who had returned home with military achievements, Minister Zhang was unusually friendly.

Zhang Dezhao, who had never felt much fatherly love since childhood, felt a little uncomfortable.

It was really strange that his old father didn't scold him when they met, but Zhang Dezhao felt itchy all over.

Mrs. Zhang concluded that the people in the Zhang family are really mean~~~

..........

Song Ke returned to the Lin Mansion with the emperor's reward and the second-rank official uniform.

The first thing he said when he saw Chen Dongyue was, "You don't really want to divorce me, do you?!"

Song Yun, who was standing at the door ready to greet her eldest brother, immediately grabbed her three children and ran away.

Even the servants and maids at the door fled in panic.

Chen Dongyue, who was holding a bunch of daisies and preparing to give them to Song Ke, was stunned for a moment, "What... did you know?"

"The emperor told me," Song Ke said with a gloomy face and a bit of frustration in his voice, "He said that the law was changed in order to... improve the efficiency of government offices, simplify procedures, and make things more convenient for the people.

But I think the emperor has bad intentions. You too......"

The more Song Ke spoke, the more aggrieved he felt.

He felt that Chen Dongyue didn't want to live with him anymore.

The man who was so strong and brave on the battlefield and was almost stabbed to death felt that he would cry if he said another word.

This situation made Chen Dongyue feel a little embarrassed.

She couldn't help scratching her head, organizing her words, and then she said, "We have to divorce peacefully."

"No!" Song Ke raised his head and said loudly, "I don't want a divorce! Chen Dongyue, remember, you can only lose your husband in this life, there will be no divorce or divorce."

"Huh?" Chen Dongyue was confused by Song Ke's remarks. "Who would curse themselves like that? But I haven't finished speaking yet. Don't be so excited. Listen to me first..."

"How can I not be excited?!" Song Ke interrupted Chen Dongyue excitedly, "I have finally earned fame and can support my family, but now you tell me that my family is going to be gone... Who wouldn't be excited if this happened?"

"No," Chen Dongyue also interrupted Song Ke, "How much is your salary now?"

"A full thousand taels!" Song Ke answered seriously.

"That's not enough," Chen Dongyue began to calculate the bill for Song Ke. "There are dozens of servants in the Lin Mansion now. The monthly expenses for wages alone are nearly 100 taels. Add to that the expenses for our food, clothing, housing, transportation, and social interactions... I'm afraid 2,000 taels a year won't be enough."

In fact, these two thousand taels are considered a small expense for wealthy families in the capital.

There are wealthy clans with large populations, and even tens of thousands of taels of silver may not be enough to cover their annual expenses.

The cost of living in super first-tier cities has always been very high.

"...Ahem," Song Ke cleared his throat, "I will talk to the emperor about the money issue when the time comes.

But what we are discussing now is not about money, but...about the two of us."

"If we want to talk about this, let's not stand at the gate and talk about it," Chen Dongyue suggested, "How about we go inside and talk about it?"

This is not wrong.

So Song Ke nodded slightly, "Okay, let's go in and talk."

After saying that, he walked to the side door and opened it with a bang.

Then a bunch of people rushed out from the door with a crash.

"Ayun, Junlan... didn't you leave?!" Song Ke asked the person who almost fell to the ground.

Song Yun straightened her clothes awkwardly, ".......Jun Lan said she wanted to listen, and I couldn't stop her."

"......Aunt, you!!!!" Jun Lan pointed at Song Yun with his hands on his hips, angrily.

But she suddenly thought of something more important than denouncing her aunt.

So Jun Lan turned around, pointed at Song Ke and Chen Dongyue and said, "If you two get divorced, I'll be with my mother!"

"Ah, kid, stop talking nonsense! Come on, stop looking and do what you need to do!" After Song Yun finished speaking, she hurriedly drove people into the yard.

But at the end, she couldn't help but turned around and said, "Brother...well, what if, I mean what if you and my sister-in-law really get divorced, can I also be with my sister-in-law? After all, you still have Song Yang..."

"We won't get divorced!" Song Ke shouted at his sister angrily.

Song Yun was so scared that she quickly drove away a group of people and walked into the house with a whimper.

Chen Dongyue, who was standing behind Song Ke, muttered, "How come you're even more irritable after coming back from a war?"

"No!! I have a good temper!" Song Ke turned around and shouted at Chen Dongyue very loudly.

Chen Dongyue rolled her eyes, then nodded and pushed the man into the yard. "Okay, okay, you have a good temper. Quan Darong, you have the best temper."

"That's right!" Song Ke felt that he was really wronged, so his words were a bit childish.

"Ah!!! Get out of here right now!!!" Chen Dongyue, unable to bear it any longer, yelled at Song Ke.

Song Ke said "oh" in grievance and walked into the yard with a sad face.
