Chapter 146: Honor in Troubled Times 114

A group of small servants behind the old housekeeper rushed up and directly tied up the three members of the Chen family.

Of course, they didn't bring these three people into the Dingbei Hou Mansion, but stuffed the three people into a vegetable cart and went to a Zhuangzi under the name of the Dingbei Hou and locked them up.

Dong Da is taking over new tasks these days.

He was sent by Xiao Yuan to take over the newly established navy.

Dong was a fisherman earlier, he often drove a boat out to sea when he didn't go up the mountain to be a bandit, followed Xiao Yuan, and led people to help Xiao Yuan exterminate pirates, he was very good at water, and he also had experience in driving a boat on the sea, so he was suitable for being a naval general.

Moreover, Dong Da is both Xiao Yuan's confidant and his son-in-law, and it is most reassuring that the newly established navy will be handed over to Dong Da.

Dong Da now takes his soldiers every day to practice how to fight naval battles, how to find routes, and so on.

Today he went to the shipyard to squat, thinking about what the big ship that was about to leave the factory looked like, so he followed the people in the shipyard to see the models of a few big ships, and he had not seen the real big ship, so he heard the people in the shipyard say that someone in his house came to look for it.

Dong Da thought that the officials of the Ministry of Rites had any requirements for the old housekeeper, so he hurriedly came out of the shipyard and saw his attendant walking around outside the shipyard with a look of urgency.

"What's going on?"

Dong Da hurriedly went over to ask.

His attendant said, "Master Hou hurry back." ”

He approached Dong Da and said softly, "Chen has come to the door with two children." ”

Dong Da's face immediately changed: "Where are the people?"

The waiter's voice was a little lower: "I think Grandpa Liu won't let them enter the door, maybe he will be escorted to Zhuangzi." ”

Dong Da thought about the old housekeeper's handling and felt that it was more likely to be placed on Zhuangzi.

"Let's go, go to Zhuangzi. ”

He turned over and got on his horse and hurried to the Zhuangzi.

Over there, Lord Geng entered the palace to report to An Ning about the decoration of the Dingbei Hou Mansion.

After Xiao Yuan set the capital in Suzhou, he did not build a large number of imperial palaces.

He and An Ning took the children to live in the palace that Daqi had built earlier in Suzhou.

This palace is naturally not as atmospheric as the imperial palace, and the place is small, but it is quite exquisitely built.

Xiao Yuan's mind is used on how to unify the country, in his heart, in the future, the entire country of Daqi will be the capital, Suzhou is just temporarily lived, and there is no need to build a palace that costs the people and money.

With the money to repair the palace, how many practical things can be done.

Tranquility is not something to be enjoyed, and the family population is not large, and the children are also older, one by one, they are about to open a government and build a mansion, this palace can be completely lived, and it takes a lot of effort to do anything.

Lord Geng entered the Suzhou Palace, and after he entered, he quickly followed the palace people to the Fengqi Palace where An Ning lived.

When An Ning saw Master Geng come in, he smiled: "Did Geng Qing ask for the drawings?"

Princess Leyang sat beside An Ning and also looked at Lord Geng.

Lord Geng hurriedly presented the drawings: "The minister has seen it everywhere in the Dingbei Hou Mansion, and the Dingbei Hou has modified the mansion very well, and even a piece of glass has been patterned, which shows that he attaches great importance to the princess, but it is just ......"

An Ning smiled and asked, "It's just what, what does Lord Geng have, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Lord Geng said softly: "It's just that when the minister left, he saw a mother and son looking for him outside the Dingbei Marquis's mansion, saying that the two children were the children of the Dingbei Marquis, and the woman was the wife of the Dingbei Marquis. ”

"Okay, I got it. ”

An Ning's expression did not change: "Geng Qing is tired, let's go back." ”

Lord Geng cautiously withdrew, and when he left the palace, he was still thinking about the affairs of the Beihou Mansion.

He thought about what kind of charter Dingbeihou was, whether he recognized the children in front of him, if he did, Princess Leyang might not be able to explain it here, and he couldn't say that Princess Leyang was angry and wanted to ruin the marriage.

According to Master Geng, what did such a white-eyed wolf-like child do?

Anyway, if it were him, he wouldn't recognize it.

However, I heard that the Marquis of Dingbei loved a pair of children very much before, and said that he was reluctant to admit that his children were suffering.

After An Ning watched Master Geng leave, she patted Princess Leyang's hand: "Don't worry, let's see what kind of charter Dong Da is." ”

"I listen to the queen mother. ”

Princess Leyang lowered her head and looked very obedient, but a trace of fierceness flashed in her eyes.

Today's Princess Leyang is very different from before.

Since the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, Princess Leyang has followed Xiao Yuan to fight everywhere, her mind and insight have changed from earlier, and now Princess Leyang has a resolute and resolute personality, and she is a little more ruthless, and she is no longer the gentle Xiao Hui before.

Princess Leyang leaned over and looked at the revised drawings of the Dingbei Hou Mansion with An Ning, and pointed out a few places: "Let Lord Geng and Dingbei Hou talk to each other, change this place again, leave an empty space in the garden, and wait for the winter to build a greenhouse." ”

"Okay, it's okay if you don't bother Lord Geng about this, you can ask the girl to take the drawings and talk to Steward Liu. ”

An Ning smiled and said, "If there is anything else to change, tell Steward Liu as well." ”

Princess Leyang thought that Dong Da had only taken over the navy now, and he probably couldn't take care of these things.

Princess Leyang smiled: "What the queen mother said is true." ”

An Ning put away the drawings: "Okay, let's take a look at your dowry first, this is the dowry list I drew up for you, you take a good look, what else do you want to tell me, I'll add it to you." ”

An Ning sent Princess Leyang away, and saw Princess Fengyang hurrying over.

"Quickly sit down and wipe your sweat. ”

Princess Fengyang should have come from outside, and she was covered in sweat when she walked.

She sat down and took a sip of tea, and wiped her sweat again: "Queen Mother, I found the sixth uncle and asked the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry to come up with movable type printing, and in the future, our Dajing Dynasty can print books on a large scale, and use our low-cost books to impact the Daqi market, and I want to run a newspaper." ”

"Newspapers?"

An Ning furrowed her brows: "Is that the publication you once said that reports on the daily new things? It is somewhat similar to the imperial court's newspaper, but this newspaper is open to everyone, and it publishes some new anecdotes in addition to national events?"

Feng Yang said with a smile: "Exactly, this newspaper can be used as the mouthpiece of the court, and it can also help the father and mother collect news from all over the world. ”

"But if you don't use it well, it may also slander the court. ”

An Ning knocked on the high table beside him: "I'll think about it carefully." ”

Feng Yang agreed, and then held An Ning's arm and coquettishly: "Don't think about it for too long, it's rare that the daughter wants to do something, and the queen mother can't refute it in the end, that daughter doesn't follow." ”

An Ning nodded her forehead and smiled: "Okay, this is not a trivial matter, I have to think about it, since I want to do it, I have to do it well, what kind of charter is it, what should I do if I encounter something, I have to think of it." ”

Feng Yang nodded: "What the queen mother said is true." ”

She approached An Ning and said one more thing: "Queen Mother, didn't Erchen train a water army earlier, in addition, he also cultivated some paparazzi, if his daughter wants to run a newspaper, these people also have a place to settle, and ah, a paparazzi under her daughter sent a message to her daughter, and the old man made trouble again." ”

"What?"

An Ning was not happy when he heard the old man: "What did he do again?"

Feng Yang pursed his lips: "What can I do, it's nothing more than a woman, he wants to get started with those girls, but how can the fresh girls be willing to be a bad old man with him, he is probably suffocated, and he actually hooked up with the cook who cooked for him, the cook is a widow, and she also has a little girl, probably to find a good future for her daughter, so she served the old man." ”

"This day is a day, and it doesn't stop. ”

An Ning was a little angry in her heart: "Okay, don't talk about this." ”

Feng Yang agreed, and she behaved for a while before she told An Ning some of her careful thoughts: "Queen Mother, you said that if Erchen doesn't marry in the future, will Erchen raise a beautiful and well-behaved little fresh meat by himself?"

An Ning was stunned for a moment.

She didn't expect Princess Fengyang to have such thoughts.

"Do you want to have one or many?"

An Ning simply said to Feng Yang: "If you raise one, then your father and I will definitely not object, but if you raise many...... Girl, you have to think about your father's face, if you really want to raise it, and those boys agree, then let's secretly, don't make too much trouble. ”

Belch?

Feng Yang was ready to be scolded.

She thought that if she said what she thought, she would inevitably be scolded by her mother, and then she would be punished.

But I didn't expect her mother to be so open-minded that she would allow her to raise a face, and many of them agreed.

Princess Fengyang's heart is simply happy, and it is happier than the rats that fell into the rice barn.

"Queen Mother, Queen Mother, don't worry, the sons will definitely take care of you and your father's face, take into account the royal system, the sons will definitely not go overboard, and it is unbearable to raise many sons, just raise one, one is enough, but the sons have to find the best-looking. ”
