It is said that Mu Shi returned to Dongping Palace, Niu Jicheng heard about it, and he went for several days without seeing anyone. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 It's just that he had official duties, and he took such a long vacation because of his wife's death. Now that he had returned to Beijing alive, his boss, General Gan Lei, had sent people to urge him to return to the camp. For the Niu family, state affairs are far more important than family affairs. Niu Jicheng left without saying a word.

In this way, from the point of view of the idlers in Beijing, it is self-evident which of the two reasons for them and Li is true. If the king of Dongping County let his daughter reconcile and leave in order not to delay Niu Jicheng's continuation, how could he not return to his mother-in-law's house since he was alive? It was a misunderstanding before I did it, and I made it back into a family. For a while, the wives and grandmothers in Beijing secretly rejoiced. The military achievements of the Dongping royal palace are impressive, and it has stood firm since the founding of the country. Even the girls in their family have suffered, which shows how ruthless the grandmother Jiang is and how biased the Zhenguo Mansion is. Is there still a life for a girl from someone else's family to marry? Nafu was suddenly much more cold.

Mrs. Niu has long looked down on these. In previous years, their home had decayed, and it was even more bleak than this one; After the son got face in front of King Yan, the flattering and flattering people came back. In a family, a woman is nothing, and it is important that a man has a good life. There are rumors in the backyard, and King Yan must not have heard of them; Even if you have heard it, you will never reuse Niu Jicheng because of this.

Aunt Niu also knew that her mother's reputation was not very good outside, so she stepped up her efforts to woo Liu Yunxi and invited her to go back to her parents' house. Mrs. Niu came out to see each other in person, and saw that this woman was not only beautiful, but also had the rules of advance and retreat like in the palace, and said strangely: "Is this the same rule in the south of yours?" ”

Liu Yunxi said: "Our family invited two aunts from the palace to teach the girls the rules. ”

Mrs. Niu nodded again and again: "Your Lao Tzu is an understandable person, which is extremely rare." I couldn't help but smile, and I was very satisfied.

It didn't take long for the matter to settle down. The back house in Beijing was in an uproar. Someone wondered: "Hasn't Rongguo Mansion heard about the Niu family?" ”

The other said: "That woman is not from Rongguo Mansion, but just a relative of the four outer roads." Besides, now, where does the Zhenguo Mansion dare to let Jiang Shi Hu come again? ”

Another said: "Yes, Mu Shi blocked the arrow for the daughter-in-law behind Second Master Niu!" The arrows were gone, and the rest were much safer. "It's a pity!" Mrs. Niu likes my three girls. At that time, I didn't expect this section, and I had less contact with their family. Otherwise, where will it be the turn of the barbarian girl from the south! ”

And there was pity for Liu Yunxi, gritted his teeth and said: "Zhenguo Mansion started so fast!" It's such a big piece of fat, and before anyone else can hear it, they take it away. ”

Someone pondered: "Second Master Niu is a popular person in front of the prince, and the prince Tengyuan is in Lingnan, and he marries his niece from his wife, probably to show his loyalty." ”

It was inevitable that someone would talk in front of Situ Pan about this matter, and Situ Pan asked Feng Ziying to ask Jia Cong. Jia Cong pouted and said, "I think too much." Didn't everyone think that Niu Jicheng's daughter-in-law was dead a few days ago? He happened to come to our house for some time, and I wasn't at home. Originally, he was only waiting for such guests in the south hall; The people below didn't know what they had misunderstood, and led him to Qihaizhai. ”

Feng Ziying said: "Your Qihail Zhai was originally a study room, a place of serious hospitality. ”

Jia Cong said: "The guests are also separated. That Miss Liu didn't have many rules, and she didn't know that there were outsiders in Qifeizhai, so she ran to find a book......"

Feng Ziying said "oh": "See." ”

Jia Cong nodded and said, "It doesn't matter what Niu Jicheng's reputation is, Miss Liu's maiden family, the two of them look at each other." She's not one of mine; People want to marry themselves, why should I stop them? Much lazy about that. ”

Feng Ziying said: "I heard that Miss Liu looks very good, and she can be regarded as a talented woman." ”

Jia Cong pouted and said, "If you are talented, the prince cares." Niu Jicheng is a clay carving person, my sisters will never be messed with. ”

Feng Ziying said with a smile: "How is Niu Jicheng carved in mud? Jia Cong then replied to Niu Jicheng with 'keeping his wife and filial piety' to his 'widow's doubts'. Feng Ziying was stunned. After a while, he said, "Does Miss Liu know?" ”

Jia Cong twitched the corner of his mouth: "She said, that's because Second Master Niu doesn't love Mu's, but he respects the rules." And he said that he and he would be happy with each other. Nai spread his hands and said, "What else can our family say?" ”

Feng Ziying shook her head again and again: "I don't know how thick the sky is." "It's funny again.

He turned around and found a vacancy and casually talked to Situ Pan. Situ Pan said: "That's it. Wang Ziteng has a lot of tax money every year to be loyal, so why bother to go around such a big circle to show his loyalty. "That's it.

It's just that although Grandma Niu Jiang has caused a lot of criticism, there are more wives and grandmothers who have made friends outside than in the past. Mu Shi was extremely unrequited, and secretly came to Chen Ruijin to discuss. Chen Ruijin said with a smile: "Which family doesn't have a woman like her?" If you are in the mood, inquire into the friends you have made with her since the spread of her wickedness, and then find out who they are. I don't have any clean hands. ”

Mu Shiqi said: "Even so, knowing that the capital doesn't want to see her now, why do you want to befriend her against the wind?" ”

Chen Ruijin said: "Your mother's family is so high that she goes to her mother's house, but she dares to do it." It took two years for it to come to light, so you don't have any evidence in your hands - otherwise you would have told your mother's family sooner rather than later, even if you were a fool. It shows that Jiang's methods are clever. Those like her want to learn something from her and learn from her. ”

Mu laughed and lamented: "I don't know how many innocent women are going to let them be harmed." ”

Chen Ruijin's thought flashed, and he asked, "That's the matter of the Jiang family?" ”

Mu Shi shook his head: "The mother concubine said that my father has his own arrangements, so that I can rest, raise, and wander around with peace of mind." ”

Chen Ruijin smiled and said: "The prince is angry for his daughter, and he has his own way; Don't you want to vent your own anger for yourself? M Mohammed asked. Chen Ruijin said, "In fact, there are many men in the world who are like Niu Jicheng. I never took the backyard seriously in my heart, and I didn't look down on women. If the county lord is interested, he lists the tricks of the women in the backyard to fight and stumble and be ruthless - not like writing a commentary, but as if writing "Heavenly Creations", as if writing "Heavenly Creations", as a scholar. Let Jia Cong's bookstore be printed, and then make some methods hyped up into the streets and alleys......"

Muhammad couldn't help but ponder. Her identity and her experience, if such a book is written, the officials will inevitably think: Could it be that all the methods in it were used by the Jiang family? Jiang said that it would be left behind for 10,000 years. Compared with her Lao Tzu digging a pit for Jiang's mother-in-law's family, and finally not knowing if she could pit Jiang herself, Chen Ruijin's method is not only direct, but also interesting. Nai gradually opened his eyebrows: "Good idea! It's hard to know where you came from. ”

Chen Ruijinwaner: "You just have to make up the book!" After compiling the book, it's about time for the New Year. In the new year, Jia Cong was ready to persuade the second master in this mansion to order the second sister-in-law of Bao to go south and reunite with the second master of Bao, so as to add a grandson to him earlier. When the time comes, you only say that you want to go out for a walk and go with her. When I arrived at Chengtian Mansion, there were all kinds of schools there, and I would like to learn something and then look at it. She said, "Suffocate Shi Li!" ”

Mu couldn't help laughing: "Why did Shi Li offend you?" ”

Chen Ruijin snorted: "Ask himself!" It is better to offend a villain than a woman. He clapped his hands again and said, "I got the news before, there is a man named Zhou Ji, I don't know what the origin is, and he sent a very powerful general to kill all sides in the Malay Islands in the South Seas, and he has occupied most of the islands without much effort, and this son is recruiting talents." It is said that there is a territory, and no one helps to take care of it, and all talented men and women of all ages are good. Why don't you go there and become an official? "Shi Li is afraid that he will not be able to leave the capital in the past few years.

Mu Shiqi said: "Do they allow women to be officials? ”

Chen Ruijin didn't answer, and asked her with a smile: "Have you seen the sea map?" Muhammad shook his head. Chen Ruijin turned around and casually flipped out the newly published world chart of Zhonghua Book Company from his desk, and pointed it to her, "This is my dynasty." This is the country of Dacheng - the lord of the country is the king of the first Beijing county of our dynasty; This is Burma, which has now been occupied by the king of Shu; This is Tianzhu, which is now a vassal country of Western England, and at most it will be returned to the king of Shu in the year after tomorrow. This large piece of land is Borneo, and Java actually has such an idea, and the Chinese people are more familiar with the name of Java; Zhou Xiaolan, the head of the country. This is Luzon, this is Malacca, this is Jinzhou, and this is called the Malay Archipelago. The people of Zhou Ji are ready to occupy these places. Because there are still some natives and small lords who refuse to submit, and the place is large, the battle has not yet been completed. ”

Mu Shi pondered: "Since this Zhou Ji has the same surname as Zhou Xiaolan, will it be a family?" Luzon and Malacca happen to be at both ends of Java, and Jinzhou is so close to Java Island that Zhou Xiaolan didn't even go to fight. ”

"Others also guessed so, but they couldn't find the two of them for verification." I can't tell you that Jinzhou is the other side of the Strait of Malacca, which Zhou Xiaolan specially left for him in order to thank Jia Congzhi for his suggestion. "Zhou Ji is also using the strategy of the princes in Dongying, whoever opens up the wasteland will get the land, and many people from Liangguang, Yunnan and Guizhou have been prepared to pass."

Mu said: "Isn't the battle not over yet? ”

Chen Ruijin said with a smile: "These places have been occupied by Westerners before, and all ethnic groups live together, so for the people, it is just a matter of changing the master, but it is not troublesome." ”

"That is that Zhou Ji is now fighting with Westerners?"

Chen Ruijin thought about it, but still didn't tell her about the good things that the old Taoist priest Zhenming and the female guards of the Great Inner had done, in case Situ Pan knew about it, he was afraid that he would be suspicious. "Like. I only got a letter from a maritime merchant, and I only know a rough idea. ”

Mu laughed, "I still know everything when you do." ”

Chen Ruijin also smiled: "I have never been to the ocean, I can know everything anywhere." ”

Muhammad looked down at the chart for a long time, then looked away and pointed, "This is North America?" ”

Chen Ruijin nodded: "Big!" and the land is fertile, and it is excellent for the growth of crops. King Yan is more majestic than the rest of the kings. King Chen was the first to send troops to the sea, and he didn't even have a piece of Dongying. And compared with North America, Dongying is simply inferior to soybeans. That's right. She added, "This is Australia." At the moment, except for the poor natives with few ideas, it is simply a wasteland. ”

Mu was shocked: "It's so big! Is there no one? ”

Chen Ruijin said: "Huo Sheng, the king of Nan'an County, will send troops here next year at the latest—not troops, but immigrants." There is no one there, who will his soldiers fight? It's just that it's hard. ”

Mu thought for a moment and said, "He's smart. His family background is the only place where it is most suitable. No one is arguing with him yet. ”

Chen Ruijin said: "And their family was originally from the navy, which is cheaper than others." ”

Mu Shi looked at the chart again and sighed: "Of the four county kings, two of them have become foreign lords. He pointed to another place, "There is no prince who has made up his mind in this blockbuster?" ”

"How is that possible?" Chen Ruijin said, "Wu is the richest in the country, and playing Dongying is just testing the waters." It is rumored that there are dozens of imperial cities made of gold in this land, and King Wu loves money the most. She smiled and said, "Besides, Wei Ruoxian, the general of Wu State, and Wei Ruolan in Jingzhong are half-brothers, and they also harbor a hatred. Seeing that Wei Ruolan is reused by King Yan, will Wei Ruolan be idle and do nothing? "What's more, Jia Cong sent a special battalion soldier to Wu Guo as soon as possible, secretly saw Wei Ruoxing, and told him that King Yan wanted to use the smallpox epidemic to open the way for the army in North America, and by the way, he brought a recipe for planting cowpox.

Mu Shi pondered: "I have heard of the origin of Wei Ruoxing. He sighed again, "It's a pity." If he is still in the Wei family, how good it would be for the two brothers to join hands. ”

Chen Ruijin said: "If he is still in the Wei family, the two brothers will have to abolish one." Didn't you see that Wei Ruolan was at most an ordinary disciple of the general in her early years? Why not? It's not that Wei Ruoxin has made a name for himself in Dongying, and he is not convinced. ”

Mu smiled: "That's right. Good men have ambitions in all directions. ”

Chen Ruijin said: "Good daughters are generally ambitious. The lord of the three counties, if a man has the ability, the prince and the son of heaven will not care whether he is good to his wife or not, and whether he has done anything wrong in the disposal of the inner house. With Niu Jicheng's talent and Yan Wang's policy, leaving a name in history has already been decided. If you don't come up with ideas, I'm afraid you will be written as Zhu Maichen's wife in a hundred years. ”

Mu Shi suddenly raised his eyes: "How can this be true!" ”

Chen Ruijin said indifferently: "History books are all written by men, and history books are written by winners. Even if there are no history books, there are some foreign legends, other legends, and legendary stories. The two of you have something to do with each other, and you know that it is impossible to be let go by later generations of people who write idle books. What a grievance. ”

Mu Shi bit his lip and said after a while: "Who knows who that Zhou Ji is." ”

Chen Ruijin said: "The news in the south is much better than in the north, so you can go over and investigate." Even if you don't go abroad, it's okay, you have to come up with something, don't let him compare. ”

Mu Shi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "I don't want someone to help me set up a career!" Why didn't I think about it when I was younger? But the girl's family can't help herself. ”

Chen Ruijin high-fived: "That's right!" Where there is a will, there is a way, who is worse than whom? ”

Mu Shi looked at her and said slowly: "Miss Chen, you are really a good talker, no wonder Mr. Jia looks down on you regardless of his background." ”

In order to show the nobility of her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Niu had already sent a message outside, saying that Jia Cong's fiancée Chen was the daughter of a merchant in the south; Presumably, the Dongping Mansion also knew. Chen Ruijin didn't explain, and said with a smile: "It's his blessing to meet me." Otherwise, he would have died several times. Mu smiled at her.
