Daily life of noble ladies of the Three Kingdoms

After repelling Wuhuan who had been entrenched outside the city for nearly a month, the people of Yanmen finally felt relieved, and one after another went out of their homes and rushed to the streets to celebrate. There was joy in and out of the city.

The Yanmen official celebration banquet for the king and soldiers who came from afar was also held that night.

Cheng Tang took the Yanmen inspection group to Chengping again and again for investigation, not only learned some knowledge and experience related to agriculture, commerce, and handicrafts, but also learned many special dishes from several official canteens in Chengping.

Cheng Tang wanted to show off that the second dish of today's banquet was fruit wood roast duck, which he also learned from the canteen of the Military Academy over there in Chengping.

This is one of Ma Teng's favorite dishes.After seeing the prepared roast duck on the plate, Ma Teng crossed his hands on the table in front of his chest, straightened his waist and waited quietly for the food, like a child waiting for the fruit.

When half of the roast duck was used up and the pancakes on the table were eaten to the bottom, Ma Teng seemed to have just tasted the taste, and sighed to himself: "Yanmen is not Chengping after all. Although this roast duck is good, the taste is not as good as ours. At the Military Academy. The roast duck in our cafeteria is not only delicious, but also has a variety of side dishes. There are six kinds in total, which can be rolled and eaten together. Among them, the hawthorn cake is the most delicious."

Zhao Yun was eating seriously at first, but his seat was next to Ma Teng's, and Ma Teng's muttering was not too loud.

Zhao Yun knew that General Ma Tengma was Meng Qi's father. Thinking of his friendship with Ma Chao's colleagues, Zhao Yun, who never liked to talk outside, finally responded, "I never thought that the food at Chengzhou Military Academy would be so good."

"Of course." Ma Teng said proudly, "Our Master Cheng Ping personally ordered the dishes to be developed. I heard that when Lord Weng was in Xuchang, he paid the most attention to these things. He used to line up to go to Li Wang's house for dinner. People lined up outside the street, and even His Majesty and the Prime Minister were full of praise."

Cheng Tang, who was sitting by the side, couldn't help curling his lips. Looking at General Ma's pride, those who didn't know thought he developed the roast duck.

The roast duck tasted good when Cao Ren ate it, and he ate it all up in a short while.

He didn't eat much of such delicacy even in Xuchang and Yecheng in the past, especially the rice porridge made with duck bones and duck soup, which suits his appetite the most, no matter how many bowls he can eat.

Listening to Ma Teng still complaining about this and others, Cao Ren couldn't help feeling secretly in his heart.

Ma Teng is really dissatisfied!At first glance, he is not easy to get along with, no wonder the prime minister has never had good things to say about him.

After drinking for three rounds, Cheng Tang ordered singing and dancing again.

The Cheng family is a century-old family. The family has its own actor and an elder brother who is good at music and dance.The music and dance performed at today's banquet was written by Cheng Tang himself based on the songs and dances at home, and asked someone to rehearse.

Ma Teng hadn't watched a song and dance for a long time, and the songs and dances he watched in Xiliang before were not in this style, not as soft and graceful as today's dancers.

While eating the roasted venison, Ma Teng sighed earnestly: "It's so beautiful! It's so beautiful!"

Ma Teng's voice was really not low, Si Qi couldn't help but move a little to one side to avoid Ma Teng's influence.

Cao Zhang clapped his hands and said, "This song and dance is really good. The Cheng family has something."

Cao Ren saw that after Si Qi watched the song and dance, there was no surprise on his face, and he couldn't help asking curiously: "Master, have you ever seen a song and dance better than this before?"

When Cao Ren asked such a question, Si Qi's thoughts instantly returned to the time in Jiangdong.

Just when she decided to leave the next day, after the dinner, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao specially invited her to Qiao's house to see her and Sun Shangxiang off.

After drinking for three rounds, Sun Shangxiang got excited and performed an impromptu sword dance, the moon quietly climbed up the branches, and the maids lit up bright lanterns in the courtyard.

Under the moonlight, Da Qiao played the piano and Xiao Qiao danced to the sound of the piano. It was really a beautiful scene, which Si Qi has never forgotten.

Si Qi smiled, and simply told everyone how he felt about the situation that day.

All the generals present looked at Si Qi with a change of taste.

Lord Weng is really beautiful and blessed, it is really unexpected that they would be jealous of a girl in this kind of thing in their lifetime!

After such a long battle, everyone couldn't eat or sleep well for many days, and they all supported themselves with a breath of energy, so it was inevitable that they were a little tired.

Seeing that it was Haishi, Siqi called out and asked everyone to go back and rest.

After everyone left, Si Qi and Sun Shangxiang walked back to the room together under the moonlight.

However, in just over a month, Sun Shangxiang lost a lot of weight, and her slapped face, which was originally not that big, became smaller again.

Si Qi couldn't help but feel a little guilty, and explained to Sun Shangxiang: "Actually, Chengzhou has been relatively peaceful these years, and there have been two Wuhuan sieges in total. I didn't expect you to encounter these things when you first came here."

"As a military commander, it is inevitable to have to deal with these things." Sun Shangxiang said, "Since I made this choice at the beginning, I have already made preparations to fight the enemy. I am fine, so you don't have to worry about me."

Si Qi smiled and said: "I received a letter from the prime minister that day, and he also mentioned you in the letter. The prime minister... seems to intend to match you."

Sun Shangxiang stretched her waist, looked at the moon in the sky half covered by clouds, and said with a smile: "You thanked the prime minister for my kindness, but I don't have any ideas about these things for the time being."

It's not that she hasn't been married before, and she doesn't think it's good to have a husband and teach children at home.Now that her career is on the rise, and she is trying her best to build a career, she naturally does not want to be disturbed by others.

Not even a man who wants to be his own husband.

Now that the war is over, let's relax.

Siqi plans to take Cao Zhang and Zhao Yun around Yanmen the next day to visit the customs of Yanmen in Chengzhou.

Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, Siqi received a military report that Wuhuan sent the main force of the entire tribe to attack Chengping.

Si Qi originally thought that Wuhuan's force to attack Yanmen this time was limited, not as many as he had imagined, and it seemed easier to defeat them, but he didn't expect that the other party used the strategy of "striking from the east to attack the west", seemingly wanting to defeat Yanmen. The door tore a hole to invade Chengzhou, but in fact, the main target was Chengping.

According to Si Qi's understanding of Wuhuan, Wuhuan's troops are limited, no matter what, it is impossible to divide into three groups to attack Chengzhou.

Si Qi quickly adjusted his strategic deployment, leaving Xun Yu, Zhou Buyi, Cao Ren, and Ma Teng to guard Yanmen with several generals from the Ma family to prevent Wuhuan from counterattacking and take good care of the other surrounding counties. There is a change in the place, and reinforcements must be provided in time.

And Xun You, Cao Zhang, Zhao Yun, Sun Shangxiang, Huo Qiulan and several generals of the Huo family followed her back and fought back with her, and made peace with Zhen Shu who stayed in Chengping, and solved the siege of Chengping.

The battle is urgent and there is no need for delay. After Siqi arranged and deployed, everyone started to act according to the instructions.

On the way back to Chengping, Si Qi analyzed that the leader of Wuhuan is not a very flexible man, he always likes to fight hard, and his strategy is a little lacking, so the style of using troops this time is not suitable for him.

Zhou Buyi sneered from the side, "I think, Wuhuan's invasion this time must have been written by Muzhun, the virtuous king of the left of the Xiongnu."

As for how he said that Wuhuan obeyed him and sent troops to attack Chengzhou, it is unknown.

When the army was halfway through, another soldier came to report, and two groups of troops came to Wuhuan for reinforcements.

Si Qi agreed with several of his subordinates that Cao Zhang, Huo Qiulan, and Sun Shangxiang would lead an army to intercept the reinforcements, while Si Qi and Zhao Yun stayed where they were and waited for them to come back.

After Siqi gave Zhou Buyi to Huo Qiulan and Sun Shangxiang's team, and Xun You to Cao Zhang, he realized that although he had general Zhao Yun, he had no advisers.

After the two teams left, Si Qi said this question to Zhao Yun, because there was no gentleman who was able to make calculations with him, so he couldn't help but feel confused.

"It doesn't matter." Zhao Yun said: "Isn't there still you, Lord Weng, here?"

Since Weng Lord is here, he is no less than the best counselor. Among other things, even the highly praised Mr. Zhuge admires Weng Lord, and Fazheng and Pang Tong always praise Weng Lord when they mention him.

Si Qi smiled a little embarrassedly.

Although she liked to hear these words very much, she still felt that Zhao Yun might have misunderstood her and thought of her too highly.

After winning the beauty's smile, Zhao Yun analyzed to Si Qi again: "I have fought Wuhuan before, and I know their style. Because they are nomads, they move quickly. The style of the general Wu Man is changeable, and he is very good at using the terrain and terrain. Fighting, that's why you chose to let Cao Zhang and Huo Qiulan take people out, and stop here by yourself. But in fact, in terms of the current situation, the Weng Lord's place is the most dangerous place."

Si Qi didn't expect Zhao Yun to see through her plan at a glance.

Si Qi raised his eyes and said, "Then you still have to stay with me."

Just now she had just decided on a three-way battle, and Zhao Yun chose to stay here before she started to allocate personnel.

Thinking about it, I could see through her thoughts at that time.

Zhao Yun lowered his head and smiled, and said: "I'm also worried about them. It's rare to come out on the orders of the lord. If we lose the lord, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do business when we go back!"

The temperature difference between day and night in the mountains is large, and the nights in March are still very cold.

Seeing that Si Qi's face was a little red from the cold, Zhao Yun asked Si Qi, "Your Majesty, do you feel cold?"

Si Qi said: "Just now I have asked people to fire up the fire to make broth. I think it will take a quarter of an hour, but I will share it with everyone. It is the best time to have a bowl of mutton soup to keep out the cold."

Zhao Yun thought for a while, and said: "Master Weng, warm up here for a while, and I will come as soon as I go."

Looking at Zhao Yun's appearance, it seemed that he wanted to find something for her to keep out the cold.

This time they marched in a hurry, and there were still a lot of weapons and supplies that needed to be transported. All the optional luggage was left in Yanmen, and Si Qi didn't bring many thick clothes to go out.

It should be the same for Zhao Yun, except that the close-fitting clothes are armor, and at most he can add a handsome cloak.

Si Qi was curious, what could Zhao Yun find for her to keep out the cold in such a camp that lacked food and clothing?
