Chapter 332 A Good Wife
Chapter 332 A Good Wife
When Mi Yang entered the inner hall, he saw Guan Yan, a new mother, looking at little Mi Cheng in her arms with loving eyes on his bed.
Seeing this scene, Mi Yang couldn't help showing a warm smile on his face, and his eyes also changed from sharp to extremely gentle.
This is his home.
Mi Yang hid the unmade rattle in his sleeve, and then walked briskly to the bed.
Mi Yang's current behavior is like an ordinary husband and father, who has a terrifying appearance that is ready to devour people just now in front of Meng Da.
Before and after Mi Yang came to the bed, Guan Yan also discovered Mi Yang's return.
Seeing Mi Yang coming back, Guan Yan wanted to get up and prepare hot water for Mi Yang to wash up, but her intention to get up was stopped by Mi Yang's "hush".
Mi Yang said softly: "Zhong Yang is a light sleeper, don't startle him."
During the Han Dynasty, it has become a custom to give children nicknames.
So on the third day after Xiao Micheng was born, Mi Yang named him "Zhongyang" according to the customs of the time.
This nickname is not obtained casually.
The reason why Xiao Micheng's nickname was Zhongyang was because he was born in February, and one of the elegant names of February in ancient times was Zhongyang.
Hearing what Mi Yang said, Guan Yan covered her mouth in a sudden realization, and then she carefully lay down next to Xiao Mi Cheng again.
Looking at Xiao Mi Cheng who was sleeping soundly in Guan Yan's arms, the smile on Mi Yang's face became brighter and brighter.
Little Mi Cheng in his sleep seemed to be spitting bubbles out of his chubby mouth because of some sweet dreams.
Such a cute child, and his own son, how could Mi Yang not love him?
Xiao Micheng looked wrinkled when she was born, so she really didn't see any beauty.
But as time went by, Xiao Micheng's face gradually had collagen, and it became more and more lovely.
Seeing such a cute son, Mi Yang couldn't help but want to pinch Xiao Mi Cheng's chubby mouth.
But then he thought that he hadn't washed his hands with hot water, and he might have bacteria on his hands, so he resisted the urge again.
After looking at Xiao Mi Cheng for a while, Mi Yang turned his attention to Guan Yan.
Compared to the loving eyes towards Xiao Mi Cheng, Mi Yang's eyes towards Guan Yan are full of pity.
Although he was not there when Guan Yan gave birth, how could he, who came from later generations, not know how painful it was for a woman to give birth?
Now there is no such thing as painless needles.
Considering the current medical conditions, it can be said that Guan Yan gave birth to his son almost desperately.
This alone is enough to make Mi Yang feel grateful to Guan Yan.
The reason why he didn't let Guan Yan get up just now was not only because he was afraid of waking up Xiao Micheng, but also because he wanted Guan Yan to have a good rest.
People in the world don't have the concept of confinement, but Mi Yang does.
Mi Yang never took Guan Yan's mother and son with him before, because he didn't want Guan Yan to be exhausted during the confinement period.
After looking at Guan Yan, Mi Yang took advantage of the situation and sat gently beside the bed.
He held Guan Yan's soft little hand and told her everything that happened in the lobby just now.
Guan Yan lay reclined on the bed and looked at Mi Yang quietly, as if telling a story to her, telling her what happened to him recently.
Under Mi Yang's vivid description, Guan Yan's eyes sparkled, and she looked at Mi Yang with more and more admiration.
She is very happy.
Her man is a famous general who makes the enemy fearful in the world, but in the big man, he is the powerful governor who can judge the life and death of the gold seal and purple ribbon.
How could such a husband not be admired by her?
The reason why Guan Yan is happy is because she is smart and knows:
The reason why Mi Yang would take the time to tell her everything about him after finishing his official duties was to ease her mood.
After all, shortly after giving birth, she got the news that her father Guan Yu died of illness.
Even because she was weak after giving birth, she never even saw Guan Yu's last face.
This has always been a heart disease in her heart.
Perhaps, as Mi Yang told her, he was afraid that she would suffer from "postpartum depression".
What makes Guan Yan happiest is Mi Yang's care and concern for her.
After Mi Yang finished talking about what happened in the lobby just now, Mi Yang finally said with disdain:
"Meng Zidu actually wanted to use his advocacy team to favor me, how could he know how I would like his advocacy team."
"My Zhongyang, either don't use it, or use the best one."
Listening to Mi Yang complaining disdainfully about Meng Da's actions, Guan Yan asked her husband with a smile on her face, "Where is the best propaganda team in the world?"
Seeing Guan Yan asking this question, Mi Yang already had the answer in his heart.
He immediately replied: "One is in Chang'an, and the other is in Luoyang."
As the two ancient capitals of China, Chang'an and Luoyang have profound ancient rhymes, and Mi Yang's answer is indeed not wrong.
It's just that now that Chang'an and Luoyang are under the control of Cao Wei, how can Mi Yang get the best advocacy team in the world?
Seeing the questioning look in Guan Yan's eyes, Mi Yang lowered his body and approached Guan Yan's face, whispering to her:
"There is no need for the enemy to give, as a husband, you can take it yourself."
Mi Yang's tone was very low, as if he was talking about a matter of course.
It's just that his natural attitude made Guan Yan feel the great spirit and ambition in his husband's heart.
It seems that the current achievements are far from satisfying the ambition in Mi Yang's heart.
That being the case, be a husband and a wife.
Guan Yan looked at the slender eyelashes that were close to Chi Chi, she lightly opened her red lips and said to Mi Yang:
"In the future, my husband will raise troops to go north to Guanzhong, and General Anbei may be of great use.
Today, my husband is so majestic, it should be able to deter Anbei, so that he will not ruin my husband's great cause in the future. "
"It's just that you are under the imperial court, you should give both kindness and prestige. Today's husband's majesty is enough, and there is no shortage of kindness."
Guan Yan's words made Mi Yang stand up, he thought about Guan Yan's words and nodded slightly.
He understands the principle of giving both kindness and power, but he just punished Meng Da, so it's not easy to reward Meng Da in a short time.
Then Mi Yang told Guan Yan about the worries in his heart.
A wife is also a woman who is equal to her husband.
Mi Yang has no machismo, on the contrary he is a person who values his family very much.
In addition, Guan Yan had good words for him in the past, so Mi Yang likes to discuss things with Guan Yan.
Everyone in the Yibei Governor's District thought that Deng Ai was Mi Yang's number one think tank, but what they didn't know was that Guan Yan was Mi Yang's most trusted person who could discuss affairs without any scruples.
After knowing the worries in Mi Yang's heart, Guan Yan has already thought about it.
"After your husband returns to Hanzhong, you can expand the lane next to the general's mansion in Nanzheng City, and then let your meritorious ministers move into it to settle down.
At that time, the concubine can often summon the family members of her husband and generals, and give them jewelry or brocade.
In addition, the concubine can also call a family of soldiers to make clothes in her spare time, and then reward the soldiers of the husband one by one.
If the family is safe, the heart is safe, so that's good. "
Hearing what Guan Yan said, a smile appeared on Mi Yang's face.
He patted Guan Yan's little hand and said: "Youqing will comfort the family and reward the soldiers. I will have no worries when I go out to fight in the future."
Mi Yang's praise brought two blushes to Guan Yan's face, and she no longer had the witty look she had just now.
But seeing Mi Yang holding her right hand, Guan Yan's eyes flashed a trace of worry, she asked with concern:
"Is your injury better?"
Guan Yan's words made Mi Yang's hand patting Guan Yan freeze suddenly.
Everyone knows that he made a lot of contributions in the Battle of Xiangfan, and made great achievements again.
But no one cared whether he was injured in that battle, and he suffered multiple injuries.
Only his wife Guan Yan will pay attention to this.
Maybe this is what it means to have a family.
Mi Yang's face showed a gentle look that he had never shown to anyone, and he hummed softly:
"It's almost alright, I think it will take less than a month to recover."
Seeing what Mi Yang said, Guan Yan's caring expression eased a little.
Some people may think that she comforts her family members and rewards soldiers to gain a good name, but her thoughts are not that complicated.
All she wanted was to let Mi Yang's soldiers protect his husband well on the battlefield.
Very simple, very simple wish.
Almost at the same time Meng Da escorted Xia Houshang and others to Xinye, the edict from Luoyang also came to Yecheng.
This edict was issued by Cao Pi, and the content of the edict was to ask Wen Hui, the prefect of Wei County, to escort the family members of General Liu Bei who were captured back then to Wancheng as soon as possible.
At present, in Cao Wei, there are very few people who know the content of the transaction between Cao Pi and Liu Bei.
Of course, Wen Hui, who was a foreign minister, didn't know much more.
It's just that I don't know if I don't know, Wen Hui's loyalty to Cao Wei is first-class to be appointed as the prefect of Wei County by Cao Pi.
So as soon as he received Cao Pi's edict, Wen Hui began to prepare for the matter.
Although Cao Pi moved his capital to Luoyang after becoming emperor, because of the importance of Yecheng, he designated Yecheng as one of the accompanying capitals of the Great Wei Dynasty.
Cao Pi's move not only ensured Yecheng's detached political status in Cao Wei, but also made Yecheng a big base for Hebei aristocratic families.
And because there are many aristocratic families in Yecheng, even though Wen Hui didn't deliberately disclose the matter, it was quickly known to the children of all the aristocratic families in Yecheng.
Even some people in Yecheng who are not descendants of aristocratic families, but have some contacts, also got the news.
For example, Shi Bao was born in a poor family but was surprisingly popular.
Shi Bao, courtesy name Zhongrong, was born in Nanpi, Bohai, Hebei.
He is elegant and wise, with a magnificent appearance, and he doesn't care about trifles. Because he is so handsome, people at the time said: "Shi Zhongrong is unparalleled."
Shi Bao's family was poor and his background was humble. When he was a teenager, he was arranged by the government to become a farmer outside Xiangcheng.
It was also at that time that he met Deng Ai, who was about the same age as him.
Soon after, Yangzhai Guo Xuanxin, who visited Yangzhai, was ordered to go on an envoy to ask for help, and Tuntian Sima recommended Shi Bao and Deng Ai to him.
After only walking for more than ten miles, Guo Xuanxin said to the two: "The queen will be the prime minister."
At that time, Shi Bao was more mature than Deng Ai, and he answered Guo Xuandao: "Yu Li also, He Qingxiang?"
After that incident, because of Guo Xuanxin's appreciation and Shi Bao's external conditions were better than Deng Ai's, Shi Bao was appointed to Yecheng as a small official.
It's just that in Yecheng, where there are many aristocratic families, it is almost impossible for Shi Bao's background to successfully become an official.
So after a long time without news, Shi Bao could only helplessly sell iron in the market in Yecheng to make a living.
It's just that being handsome is really good.
The mayor of Peiguo, Zhao Yuanru, was surprised by Shi Bao after seeing him, and specially made friends with him.
And he often laments to everyone that Shi Bao has far-reaching power and should be a public assistant.
Under Zhao Yuanru's continuous momentum, Shi Bao began to gain some reputation in Yecheng.
Because of this reputation, Shi Bao got acquainted with Xu Yun, the servant of the Ministry of officials.
Xu Yun, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, has the power to select officials.
Originally, Shi Bao thought that he was finally going to watch the clouds and see the moon, but he didn't expect it to be of no use.
Some contacts, some fame, are not worth mentioning in front of the background of the family. For several years, Shi Bao has been selling iron.
Cao Cao, who chanted the slogan "Only talents are promoted", was buried outside Yecheng.
But he didn't expect that Yecheng, where he slept, was the least "talent-only" place in the world, which is really a great irony.
However, it is still useful to have some strong contacts.
For example, Shi Bao relied on this to learn from Xu Yun that a large number of prisoners of war will go south to Jingzhou recently.
Perhaps ordinary people will not pay too much attention to this matter after learning about it.
After all, those prisoners of war may be very important to Liu Bei, but to the scholars in Cao Weizhong, it is far less important than how to please the Zhongzheng official.
But after Shi Bao learned about this, he, with an unusual look in his eyes, closed the stall ahead of schedule for the first time today, and returned to the dilapidated home with a large pile of ironware.
After returning home with a large pile of iron objects, he immediately threw them on the ground in disgust, and then began to search for something among the worn-out bed boards at home.
He was looking for a letter, a solicitation letter written by his childhood friend Deng Ai.
After several searches, the slender Shi Bao finally found the dusty letter in a corner.
Deng Ai wrote this letter a year ago.
Even though Xicheng is thousands of miles away from Yecheng, after such a long time, the letter has already been delivered to Shi Bao.
From the dusty letter, it can also be seen that this letter has been opened long ago, which shows that Shi Bao has already read the contents of this letter.
As for why Shi Bao never went south after seeing the letter Deng Ai sent him?
That's because not long before he received Deng Aixin, he had just met Xu Yun.
At that time, Shi Bao thought that his chance to become an official had come.
The allure of Cao Wei, who became an official in Zhengshuo of Huaxia, must be far greater than that of the big man who was still regarded as a barbarian country in the south by the world at that time.
But more than a year has passed, Xu Yun admired him very much, and went around for him time and time again recommending him to all the superiors, but each time Shi Bao's hopes and disappointments were great.
Even if he is a iron dealer, he also has a heroic spirit.
The contempt and sneer over and over again made Shi Bao's heart suffocate.
Especially when the news of the recent Xiangfan battle reached Yecheng, Shi Bao's impression of the big man in the south changed greatly.
The big man in the south is capable of competing with the big Wei!
