The snow in the inner courtyard has been swept away, and in its place are a few big and cute snowmen.

Lanterns hung under the eaves, swaying gently in the wind.

The room was cleaned spotlessly and looked much brighter.

The silver charcoal basin makes the room warm as spring, and the furniture is sparkling clean.

A bed tent with lilac-colored grape branches was hung on the bed.

The blue tile floor near the bed was covered with a thick Persian carpet.

Shen Muyun was wearing a light pink quilted jacket, instructing Chun Ya to hang a painting of "Spring Mountains and Streams" on the wall.

Cui Tieniu walked over carelessly, put his arm around Shen Muyun's shoulders, and said with a smile on his handsome face, "Thankfully I brought my wife here, so my life is enjoyable."

Shen Muyun smiled, his eyes moved, and asked: "Husband, do you think there is anything missing?"

Cui Tieniu strode to the bed, shook the bed vigorously, shook his head and said: "This bed is not good, it is not strong."

Shen Muyun remembered the previous bed accident, blushed slightly and said nothing.

Cui Tieniu waved his hand: "Okay, leave it alone, I'll go find the carpenter right now."

An hour later, Cui Tieniu came back with a cow in a hurry.

Shen Muyun greeted him out in surprise.

Cui Tieniu said with a smile: "I found a carpenter, and the bed has been arranged. In addition, I also bought a cow."

In Daliang, cattle were generally used to plow the land, and the court generally did not allow people to slaughter cattle.

But on the northern border, on the grassland, there are many cattle and sheep, so there are no restrictions. People can kill cattle for meat and raise cows for milk.

Follower Qin Wei had just been busy knocking off the ice hangings under the eaves to prevent them from falling and hurting people.At this time, he trotted over quickly and took the cow from Cui Tieniu's hand.

Cui Tieniu explained: "Arrange for someone to milk the cow every day, let it heat up on the stove and bring it to my wife."

Shen Muyun smiled and said, "Okay, after the milk is squeezed, I will make milk tea for you."

Qin Wei joked: "It doesn't matter whether the slaves drink or not. The main thing is that you, madam, have to drink. Master bought this cow for you."

Cui Tieniu raised his foot and pretended to kick Qin Wei: "Go, when did you learn to speak glibly?"

Qin Wei quickly took the cow and ran away.

Cui Tieniu saw that the inside and outside were almost tidied up, and the maids and servants brought from the capital were doing their own things in an orderly manner, so he said: "Otherwise, we will invite the subordinates to come here for a gathering tomorrow. It will be about 30:[-] Man, how are you?"

Shen Muyun thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, we have a cook ourselves, she can make some Beijing dishes. We will find a good restaurant nearby and ask their chef to cook northern-style meals for five or six tables. That’s good.”

The two arranged trivial matters after discussion.

Kaiping Guard Commander Xia Houjie had important military matters at the guard station today. His wife, Mrs. Cheng, sent people to invite him in a hurry, but she never dreamed of seeing Xia Houjie's face.

Mrs. Cheng became restless when she thought about her brother being beaten with a military stick by the newly arrived Qianhu.

She didn't dare to rush Xia Houjie anymore, so she had to wait patiently at home. It wasn't until it got dark that Xia Houjie returned home feeling a little drunk.

Cheng gave Xia Houjie tea with red eyes. Xia Houjie glanced at Cheng for a few times before asking, "Who messed with you?"

Mrs. Cheng finally couldn't help it anymore and said with a tearful tone: "The new Qianhu in your guardhouse beat Yuan Hao with fifty military sticks. Yuan Hao has been so spoiled and raised, how can he withstand fifty military sticks? ? I heard from my mother that there is no good meat left in Yuan Hao’s butt and thighs.”

Xia Houjie frowned: "The new Qianhu? The one from Hetai Qianhu? Why did he beat your brother?"

Mrs. Cheng felt a little guilty. She wiped her tears with a handkerchief and replied, "It seems that it was because of a girl. The new Qian Hufei said that Yuan Hao was disrespectful to him."

Xia Houjie snorted softly: "Because of a girl? Is your brother doing his old habits again? Your parents have given him two or three intercourses. What else is he dissatisfied with? He still wants to go out to get involved with women?! "

Mrs. Cheng bit her lips and replied weakly: "Even if there is something wrong with Yuan Hao, which one of those Qianhu in the past wouldn't give him face? I see, the new Qianhu just relies on some military merit, and He was promoted by the general, and he doesn't take his husband seriously."

Xia Houjie was a little angry at being provoked. Also, for a Qianhu family, before he officially took office, he beat his brother-in-law first. Is this a sign of authority for his direct superior?

Xia Houjie picked up the tea cup, drank it all in one gulp, placed the empty tea cup heavily on the table, and said impatiently: "Okay, don't cry! I'll go meet him tomorrow."

Mrs. Cheng squeezed the handkerchief hard and thought, "It's just a thousand households. No matter where you come from, if you dare to touch my brother, I will make you pay the price!"

On the night of the second day, Cui Tieniu's house was very lively.

There were six tables of guests in total, all except the subordinates on duty.

The dishes on every table are sumptuous, and there are plenty of bottles of wine.

On the side, the boys are still grilling beef skewers and mutton skewers. After grilling a handful, the maid will serve them to the guests in order.

Suddenly, a tall, middle-aged man with a long beard came to the door of the house. With a gloomy face, he gave his name and asked the servant to summon Cui Tieniu to see him.

The boy quickly went to Cui Tieniu to report: "Commander Xiahou is here."

Cui Tieniu was sitting at the main table drinking and playing guessing games with Xun Yi and the others. When he heard the announcement, he quickly got up and went to the door to greet Xia Houjie.

Xun Yi and several other major subordinates followed Cui Tieniu to the door.

Xia Houjie stood with his hands behind his back, looked Cui Tieniu up and down, stroked his beard, and asked in a cold tone: "Are you Cui Qianhu?"

Cui Tieniu cupped his fists and said, "It's my subordinate!"

Xia Houjie snorted coldly: "I heard that you were very impressive when you first arrived!"

Cui Tieniu pretended to be confused: "Commander Xiahou, where do you start with these words?"

Xia Houjie pursed his lips and did not answer, but asked: "Cui Tieniu, how long have you been in the army?"

Cui Tieniu replied: "My subordinate has been joining the army for almost half a year."

Xia Houjie sneered: "Only half a year? You are so lucky! However, your qualifications are too shallow, so I'm afraid it won't be easy to convince the public."

Cui Tieniu said modestly: "Yes, I still have a lot to learn."

Xia Houjie looked at Cui Tieniu with deep eyes: "Cui Qianhu, you have just arrived here. You need to think more carefully when doing things. Don't make the wrong idea and take the wrong path. Don't live up to this position."

Cui Tieniu's eyes flashed slightly, with a slight smile on his face. He looked directly at Xiahou Jie, cupped his fists and said, "Thank you Commander Xiahou for your teaching. I think so too. I don't know if I have done something right or not. I was just about to ask the commander for advice.”
