Fortunately, Young Marshal Tang seemed to just ask so casually, and he didn't seem to care very much, Qu Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

The analogy of evolution is actually deliberate.

Just like at a Western-style wedding, Tang Shaoshuai asked her to wear a white wedding dress, which was very purposeful.

Fortunately, their goals are the same.

After all, a westernized young marshal lady who can accept new science can play a completely opposite role than an old-time princess who only knows virtue, words, and merit.

The two chatted for a few words, and Tang Shaoshuai's face suddenly sank slightly: "Madam, I am afraid that the days I accompany you at home will not be too much." ”

Qu Ning was stunned.

"The emperor intends to re-sign the 21st Article, and the people will inevitably not agree to it, but the Japanese side will inevitably make a big fuss about it." Tang Shaoshuai said slowly, "And I'...... We will never sit idly by and watch the re-signing of the 21st Article. ”

Hearing the string song and knowing the elegant meaning, Qu Ning instantly understood his subtext.

She was shocked: "Are you going to war?" ”

"If words alone cannot express our determination, then the Japanese will understand when the operation is successful...... There are some things that can't be done. Tang Jinzhi glanced at her, his eyes lit up slightly, he reached out and grabbed her hand, and patted it gently, "Madame, will you blame me?" ”

Qu Ning smiled.

Blame you? Complaining that you are newly married and ready to see blood? Complaining that you and my brother are on the opposite side?

Or do I blame you, I put the country first, but can I be proud of you?

She just smiled and said, "If it's really necessary, you can go, the affairs of the family, the affairs of the back, as long as you can rest assured, all of them will be left to me." ”

When she said this, she actually had some meaning in the scene. Tang Jinzhi himself said that they had never known each other before marriage, and their understanding and trust in each other was almost zero, and in Qu Ning's mind, if Tang Shaoshuai had to leave home in a few days, she would probably be able to perfect her own jihua.

Unexpectedly, Tang Shaoshuai smiled slightly and patted her hand: "With Madame's words, I am relieved." This sentence may still be a scene, but who knows that Tang Jinzhi continued to speak, and Qu Ning's face darkened when he said it: Hey, hey, can you not hit the snake with the stick, "Madam, on the day we got married, several of my former classmates and their wives also came to watch the ceremony. In a day or two, I'll invite them over and I'll officially introduce you to them. After a pause, he took Qu Ning's hand, went to the bookcase next to it, flipped out a photo album, opened it and pointed it out to her.

In this album, there are two full pages, and all the old photos of him when he was in the United States* school.

In the black and white photo, the handsome young man is dressed in a military uniform, standing among several white people who are slightly taller and stronger than him.

Qu Ning looked at the photo and was faintly distracted: the young man in the photo smiled cheerfully and broadly, and even showed a mouthful of white teeth, this sunny boy who looked extremely handsome and upright, is it really the same person in front of him? Was he pretending to be easy to get close to expand his network, or was his personality change due to his return to China...... What great changes have you experienced in the Tang family?

Ten years of military service, ten years of wind and frost.

Is this enthusiastic and cheerful teenager in the photo still hidden somewhere in his heart?

Tang Jinzhi glanced at her, secretly curled his lips, but didn't say anything, only reached out and tapped the left side standing beside him in the photo, reached out and patted his shoulder, and looked at the man who was very close: "This is my best friend Joseph at that time." His last name, I don't know if you've heard of it, is Rodeste. ”

Qu Ning was shocked: "Rodste? Her pupils narrowed, "Is that the Rodeste family?" ”

Tang Jinzhi nodded: "Hmm." ”

Qu Ning narrowed his eyes: "...... Good. ”

As soon as he talked about the United States and the Rodest family, she immediately thought of the now famous chaebol Rodester.

The U.S. Army Military Academy, where Marshal Tang studied, was known as the cradle of army officers at that time.

But anyone who graduates from this school will basically get the rank of lieutenant colonel.

If Tang Shaoshuai can attend this school, there should be many of his classmates...... He has a wide range of contacts and a good background.

Although Joseph came from the Rodest family, he was an underappreciated side branch. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have thought of going to war as a step to the battlefield. "After Joseph was discharged from the army more than four years ago, with the connections he had saved back then and the convenience of a veteran, he began to take care of the business passed down by his elders. ”

Young Marshal Tang paused slightly: "And the richest thing for the Rodeste family is the arms trade." Of course, the arms sold to the Far East are not the best and most up-to-date for their family, nor are they the bulk of the profits. However, it is definitely much more high-end than the goods that the royal family got from Japan. When he said the word 'Japan,' a hint of anger flashed across his face.

Qu Ning's eyebrows jumped faintly: After Young Marshal Tang returned to China ten years ago, he immediately participated in the uprising not long after, at the beginning, because the Tang family's status in it was not high, the army was not the largest, and he was not the most powerful in the rebel army.

But soon after, the Tang army won many battles, although the number was small, but the combat effectiveness was extremely strong, and the firearms equipped with were very advanced, so it gradually became a thorn in the side of the imperial court, a thorn in the flesh, and the prestige of Tang Shaoshuai became more and more prominent.

Although the court insisted that he could often win, it was only by relying on muskets and guns, but he could buy goods and arm his army to the teeth, which was also a kind of ability.

It's just that no one expected that the relationship he relied on was his old classmates - this fact, if he hadn't said it himself, I'm afraid not many people would have been able to find out, right?

On the one hand, Joseph relied on the proceeds from selling firearms from him to improve his status in the family, and on the other hand, Tang Shaoshuai also relied on these firearms to get a wider territory, but he didn't know how stable the relationship between the strong and the strong was?

"I was worried that my wife had not dealt with Americans much and would have inconvenience in communication, but since my wife had even read the theory of evolution, then English must not be a problem, and I must be able to talk to them very happily, so my husband seems to be worried in vain." Tang Jinzhi glanced at her, hooked his lips playfully, and made up his mind.

"......" Qu Ning finally realized that something was wrong: she had half-jokingly talked about the theory of evolution before, but she had completely dug a pit and buried herself.

How could she have forgotten that this era is no better than the 21st century when information exploded, not to mention that "people are monkeys become such a book" is absolutely impossible to circulate widely in China or even have a translation in the palace. She said that she had read the theory of evolution, and in their eyes, it was a proper reading of the original text, not a translation. Doesn't this directly expose the fact that she can speak English?

Is it too late to change your words now and say that you haven't seen it?

Looking up at Tang Shaoshuai's somewhat narrow expression, Qu Ning only felt that his breath was holding in his chest: Damn, this old fox.

Fortunately, since Emperor Xi, there have been frequent missionaries in the palace, and she has indeed been exposed to English through some channels, otherwise, many things would not be explained.

***

If it is said that Tang Shaoshuai may still be a whim when he talks about communication, then what happened the next day shows his determination.

I don't know how Tang Shaoshuai communicated with Tang Dashuai, the next morning, Qu Ning had just woken up, and when Baoqin and Suqin came to serve her to freshen up, they came to report to her: "Young lady, the housekeeper and some mothers-in-law are waiting in the courtyard, saying that they want to hand over the account books to you for processing." ”

"In addition, the wife of the second room also sent someone to hand over the key to the storehouse at home."

Qu Ning's original sleepy insect disappeared all of a sudden.

She was very tired, and her whole body was very sore - last night Tang Shaoshuai made her trouble all night, and after two days in a row, it was simply an old injury that had not healed and added a new injury, although she was indeed comfortable, but when she woke up, she realized that her overused body was about to fall apart.

Turnkey? Ledger?

She was very sure that with his attitude of alienation and consideration when he saw Tang Dashuai yesterday, it must be false to say that Tang Dashuai was ready to hand over the stewardship to her.

Before marrying into the Tang family, considering her embarrassing identity, she also thought that at least for a long time, she would face a situation where she could not go up or down.

She was also ready to face many tests, but now the Tang family directly handed over the stewardship to her - regardless of asking, this must be a decision made by Tang Shaoshuai after yesterday's conversation.

All of a sudden, he trusted her?

For a while, Qu Ning frowned slightly: "Okay, I know." After a pause, "What about the young marshal?" ”

"Early in the morning, his herald came to invite the young marshal away." Bao Qin replied, "It is said that there is something in the army. ”

"Oh."

Seeing that her mood didn't seem to be high, Su Qin smiled playfully: "Is the young lady thinking about the young marshal?" Before leaving, the young marshal specially reminded the slaves and maids, let's not wake you up, he said, the key and the account book will not run away on their own, just let you rest enough zaijian those people. ”

"......" is not a question of whether she will run away, it is that Tang Shaoshuai didn't prepare her psychologically at all, so he threw a heavy burden on her shoulders! Her original Jihua, after getting married, was going to take advantage of the blank period that might be neglected and considered, and gave priority to building her own trading stall, but now she has lost a lot of tasks, how can she have so much personal time?

Jihua is completely disrupted!

Qu Ning rubbed his forehead, sighed, and had no choice but to hurry up and wash up.

Su Qin and Bao Qin looked at each other: In their opinion, Young Marshal Tang has been gentle and considerate enough in the past two days, but Weishenme, Her Royal Highness the Princess seems to be completely unhappy?

Those people waiting at the door were holding tall booklets in their hands, although the number was a little more, and they were afraid that it would take some time to count them, but on the other hand, it didn't also show that the Tang family should have a lot of oil and water in the back house alone. His Royal Highness has lived a hard life in the palace, although the dowry is large, but it is not valuable, and now he can hold the power of the Tang family's back house, isn't it a happy thing?

Su Qin couldn't understand His Highness's psychology anymore.

On the contrary, it was Baoqin, knowing how much her princess liked to be lazy, she secretly pursed her lips and smiled.
