"Hmm. Excuse me. A smile appeared on Li Ruoyan's face, and he looked his whole body through the whole body, this son-in-law was clear-eyed, handsome, high-spirited, polite, and couldn't help but feel secretly satisfied. smiled and said, "I heard that you have a spirit beast crested mountain eagle, you came back from riding a crested mountain eagle, right?" ”

"Yes." Rong Yuanhang replied, but his eyes looked at the baby in Li Ruoqi's arms in a daze.

Li Ruoqian understood, smiled sharply, gestured and said, "Son-in-law, this is your precious daughter, come and hug her." He lowered his head and teased the child in his arms with a friendly face, and murmured: "Xiao Le'er, Daddy has come to see you, quick, quick, laugh with your Daddy?" ”

The baby looked at her grandmother with dark eyes and curiosity, but she didn't understand what she was talking about.

Rong Yuanhang took two steps forward, and when he got close to her, there was a slight smell of fat powder in his nose, which smelled very good, and it was not the body odor of the baby or the mother-in-law. But he couldn't take care of these careful thoughts, and took the baby from Li Ruoyan's arms, and he didn't know what it was like for a while, but he was very excited anyway - this is his daughter! A warm current of flesh and blood family affection flows in the heart.

The baby had not yet learned to speak, and his two big eyes looked at the father he was meeting for the first time.

"Brother Yuanhang, her name is Le'er!" Le Zheng Tianmiao also approached the past affectionately, and said in his mouth: "It's the name that her mother gave her,—— Rong Le'er." Hee-hee, do you like it? As he spoke, he turned his head and smiled at him, instantly like a spring blossom, delicate and infinitely beautiful.

"Hmm." Rong Yuanhang glanced at Li Ruoqian and said, "Mother-in-law Xie gave the baby a name. ”

"Le'er Le'er, call daddy?" Le Zheng Tianmiao teased the baby.

"Call Daddy. Hehe, Le'er will call me dad in the future, that's what we call in that place. Rong Yuanhang hurriedly corrected. Calling 'Daddy' always sounds awkward.

Li Ruoqian saw that their family of three was happy, and couldn't help but glance at her husband. Suddenly, I thought that I should learn about the situation from my husband first, not to mention the time when they came from Hidden Dragon Town, presumably the two of them flew for a day and a night, and they didn't rest halfway, just look at the dust on that face. So he said, "The virtuous son-in-law came all the way." There is also a shortage of people in the dust, so let's go down to bathe and change clothes first, and have a good rest......" Speaking of this, she said to the two maids next to her: "Qiu Ju." Heyu, the two of you take your aunt down to serve you. ”

"Yes!" The two pretty little maids responded in unison, and the little maid of Qiu Ju looked at him and said a little shyly: "Uncle, please come with the little maid?" ”

"I'll go too!" Le Zhengtian shouted: "Brother Yuanhang, I'll take you there!" As he spoke, he took his arms around his waist.

Rong Yuanhang thought for a while and said, "Okay. ”

"The child will put this ...... first," Li Ruoqian turned his head and said, "Xing'er." Come and take care of the little lady. ”

"Hey," the big-breasted apricot hurriedly walked over and took the baby from Rong Yuanhang's hand.

"By the way, there's also a reception banquet in the evening, and you have to attend it when the voyage arrives, don't forget." Li Ruoqian said again.

Rong Yuanhang was stunned for a moment before replying, "Oh, okay." ”

……

The backyard of the City Lord's Mansion is very vast, full of exotic flowers and plants, pavilions and pavilions. When I went outside, I saw the green mountains and beautiful waters. Most of them remain in their original form. Rong Yuanhang followed the two girls and Le Zhengtianmiao, who had always been a little bird, and was taken to a natural hot spring place.

"This is Yuquan, Brother Yuanhang, do you like it, hehe......" Le Zhengtian introduced like a mysterious and dazzling introduction.

The small pond of the hot spring is about 40 square meters, and the edge of the pool is surrounded by smooth and beautiful natural rocks. It is covered by a beautifully carved pavilion, and the pavilion is made of noble sandalwood wood.

The water surface in the hot springs is almost the same as the surrounding rocks, only a few dozen centimeters apart, and in the distance, there are beautiful wooded hills in all directions. It feels very comfortable and natural.

"What a beautiful place!" Rong Yuanhang couldn't help but sigh. He squatted down and tested the temperature of the water, which was just right, and the temperature was moderate. Suddenly, the two pretty maids approached the side, and one of them, the maid named Qiu Ju, said with a red face, "Uncle." The slave and maid gave you wide clothes, right? ”

"Huh? Oh...... Good. Rong Yuanhang generously accepted the personal service given to him by the two maids.

"I'm going to wash too! Hee-hee. Le Zheng Tianmiao said, and began to untie his belt, and the other maid Heyu saw that she was also going to bathe, and whispered: "Miss, let me come." ”

Rong Yuanhang's heart began to speed up, although he didn't know how many times he had fallen in love with Le Zheng Tianmiao. But after all, I haven't seen each other for a year, and the so-called Xiao Biesheng is newly married, which just describes his current mood. The woman had not yet stripped naked, and the tent had been erected disobediently underneath him. The two maidservants naturally noticed the changes in his body, and couldn't help but blush even more.

With a "poof", Rong Yuanhang quickly stripped off all the clothes on his body, and hurriedly jumped off the hot spring with his lower body covered.

"Ahh The girl snorted softly, and a high splash of water splashed, and the three women on the shore were splashed wet in an instant. In front of the maidservant, as long as he is a little unaccustomed to being naked, he knows that this kind of 'noble' life content will be inevitable in the future, not to mention that he is also willing to accept this kind of thing.

"Brother Yuanhang, you are so bad." Le Zhengtian giggled. Under her excitement, she took off all the restraints on her body with a blushing face, and her white and flawless body was suddenly exposed to Rong Yuanhang's eyes.

"Wow...... it's so big!" Rong Yuanhang swallowed unconsciously, but it was open on all sides, and there was no shelter on the other three sides except for a stone wall on one side of the hot spring.

"Come down! How bad is it for people to see? Rong Yuanhang was afraid that she would be gone, and it would be greatly occupied by others to see it, and his man's selfish possessiveness could not help but be revealed at this time.

"Hee-hee, there's nothing outside here, it's just a maid." Le Zhengtian smiled shyly and went into the water, and threw himself on him without accident. The naked bodies of the two suddenly hugged each other tightly, and the two sides couldn't help but kiss passionately.

I saw that the maids on the shore glanced at each other, and secretly laughed and turned out of sight. After a long wet kiss, Le Zheng Tianmiao's face became crimson, and he muttered: "Brother Yuanhang, I miss you so much." ”

"Yes, well, I'm ...... too" Rong Yuanhang coaxed the girl a little against his will. The two sides touched each other's bodies as if no one was around, and the love became more and more uncontrollable when it was strong.

"Ahem......" Suddenly a female voice coughed a few times.

"Madame!"

"Huh? Niang ......" Le Zhengtian looked at the comer in amazement. It turned out that Li Ruoqian didn't know when he appeared here. She was still holding a pile of clothes in her hands.

Rong Yuanhang was even more embarrassed, he couldn't imagine that such a private thing as taking a bath would break in.

Li Ruoqian didn't get too close. It was ten meters away from the hot spring, and Rong Yuanhang and Le Zheng Tianmiao kissed so much just now that they were fascinated, and I don't know how long she had been standing.

"I'm here to bring a set of clothes to the voyage." Li Ruoqian had a smile on her face, but she didn't smile naturally. After a pause, he said, "That...... Virtuous son-in-law, Miao'er has just given birth to a baby, this ...... Well, you can't have sex with you for the time being, cough. Another month. When she's better again, she'll be fine. ”

"I know, mother-in-law, I know." Rong Yuanhang looked embarrassed. This kind of common sense has long been understood, but I couldn't help it just now before I moved my hands and feet on Tianmiao.

Li Ruoqian nodded, and left without staying long. Le Zheng Tianmiao playfully stretched out his little tongue to Rong Yuanhang: "Brother Yuanhang, I'm sorry." ”

……

In the evening, the city lord Le Zheng Gongtai held a banquet in the hall of Fuzhong. In addition to Rong Yuanhang and Lezheng's family of three, there were also some important officials from Gaocang Province who went to the banquet.

Among them: Li Nongzhang, the general affairs officer of Cangcheng, Mi Gu, the prefect of Cangcheng, and Tao Zhongzhuo, the general of the capital protection. The Metropolitan Protectorate is the local provincial-level military organization of the Chaoting garrison. Tao Zhongzhuo was the supreme leader of the Cangcheng Metropolitan Protectorate Army. The official residence of the military general is the fourth grade, and the status is the same as that of Le Zheng Gongtai. Other officials present also included the history of supervision, the history of household administration, the history of the commander of the patrol soldiers and horses, and so on.

Although Cangcheng is under the jurisdiction of the Great Lordship of Duolong, the imperial court will set up three administrative bodies in each place, and they are not subordinate to the Great Lord. The three agencies are the Metropolitan Protectorate, the Department of Inspection, and the Department of Household Affairs.

The Metropolitan Protectorate is equivalent to the local army of the modern state, and its functions need not be repeated. The Supervision Department plays the role of supervising officials, inspecting counties and counties, correcting prisons, and purging court ceremonies. The functions of the household administration department are also very powerful, in charge of household registration, land endowment, funds, levies, etc., and the important function of Yigong is to be in charge of taxation.

The citizens of Tianshou country, whether they are industrial, agricultural, or commercial, must pay taxes. There are two kinds of taxes to be paid for business and farming - one is the national tax and the other is the land tax, which is somewhat similar to modern society. This part of the tax paid by the common people. The imperial court accounted for 60%, and the local government took 40%.

"Uncle Great-grandfather is really a talent, a dragon and a phoenix among people!" A middle-aged man in an official uniform walked over.

"What?" Rong Yuanhang glared, was someone calling him 'great-grandfather'?

It turned out that this one called Rong Yuanhang his great-grandfather. But it is the prefect of Gongzhou Prefecture, He Yu (yù). His wife's surname is Le Zheng, and she is also a relative of the Le Zheng family, and she is related to Rong Yuanhang, but Rong Yuanhang's seniority is too high, and the relationship cannot be counted.

He Yu then said: "He Yu, the great-nephew and son-in-law, met for the first time, and talked about a small gift to show respect. I hope to laugh at it. As he spoke, he respectfully presented a gift slip with both hands.

There are no less than forty or fifty officials in the hall, and Rong Yuanhang doesn't know what his origin is. If you don't take it, you may offend people, and if you do, there may also be unexpected trouble, in fact, he doesn't care about this gift at all. The relationship between this 'great-grandfather' and 'great-grandson-in-law' made his head turn even more.

"This ......" Rong Yuanhang was a little embarrassed, so he turned his head to look at his mother-in-law. Li Ruoqian paid attention to Rong Yuanhang's actions, her beautiful eyes frequently paid attention to it, and Le Zheng Gongtai, the father-in-law, was busy with other officials. Le Zheng Tianmiao also dealt with the female dependents brought by the officials, so it seems that only Li Ruoqian can call the shots.

Seeing him look over, Li Ruoqian nodded lightly with a smile. So Rong Yuanhang took the gift list heartily, and he didn't look at what was written on it, but handed it to the maid Qiu Ju.

"Yuanhang, this is He Yu, the prefect of Gongzhou, he is the great-grandson and son-in-law of your eldest brother Gu Dong's family, how close and close you are," Li Ruoqian said.

"Brother Gu Dong's great-grandson-in-law? …… What is this? Rong Yuanhang thought with tears and laughter, he hadn't even seen the wonderful big brother Gu Dong, and now he had a great-grandson-in-law.

Seeing that he was stunned and confused, Li Ruoqian couldn't help but smile and said, "At noon, didn't you propose to see what Jiangxin Island was in the Qingyu River in Guanshan County?" Okay, Guanshan County is under the jurisdiction of Gongzhou Prefecture, and He Yu can help you in this matter. ”

"Oh...... It turned out that ...... "Rong Yuanhang suddenly realized." Warmly shook people's hands: "Hello, hello! He Zhifu is right, I have to ask you for a lot of help. ”

"You're talking about...... Which Jiangxin Island in Shanguan County? He Yu frowned and thought hard. There are seven counties under the jurisdiction of Gongzhou Prefecture, so many place names, who remembers the Qing Dynasty?

Rong Yuanhang reminded him: "Qing Yujiang knows, right? ”

"Of course, who doesn't know about Qingyujiang in the world." He Yu said.

"Uh...... When I passed by my father-in-law this morning, I was on that island. He said that the name of the place there was Guanshan County," Rong Yuanhang said, "That's it...... How to put it, the island is in the shape of a long strip, if the length is about forty or fifty li, the width is about four or five li. Towering in the center of the Qingyu River, the trees in the forest above are very tall. ”

He Yu nodded: "There are quite a few Jiangxin Islands in Qingyujiang, but according to what you said, it is so big...... That's only Snake Island. ”

"Snake Island?"

"Yes, yes, it's Snake Island, I remember!" He Yu finally said suddenly: "Uncle Great-Grandfather, do you want that Snake Island?" ”

Rong Yuanhang wasn't sure if it was the so-called 'Snake Island', but he nodded.

He Yu said: "That snake island is full of poisonous snakes, and countless fishermen have been bitten to death and bitten over the years. There aren't many fields that can be cultivated, do you really want them? ”

Rong Yuanhang said: "The poisonous snake is not difficult for me, I want the island to be of other use." ”

"Or ...... Xiaguan will take you over tomorrow to see the terrain, and if you are sure, I will allocate the land to you? He Yu asked.

"Not tomorrow......" At this time, Li Ruoqian suddenly interjected: "The voyage has just arrived, let's rest for two days first, how can I do things as soon as I come back." ”

……

Rong Yuanhang thought about his future plans in his heart, and the reason why he was so concerned about Jiangxin Island was to establish a relatively secret base, as a transit station for contact with the main plane, and to engage in commercial operations in the future. He felt he had to make himself strong. As long as there is money, they will gather people and continue to build their own power.

The dinner party didn't end until ** o'clock, and Le Zheng Gongtai and his wife set up a banquet as long as it was for Rong Yuanhang, so that he could get to know the head of Gao Cang Province. Preliminarily determine the status of the son-in-law of the Lezheng family.

The city lord's mansion is very large, divided into several areas, the front hall is the administrative office area of Gaocang Province, surrounded by outbuildings, there are also some high-ranking officials and guards' houses, covering an area of about twenty hectares.

Then there is a square-like courtyard. No idle people are allowed to trespass without reason. Even a big man like General Affairs Officer Li Rongzhang had to report when he came in. The backyard is the residence of the Lezheng family. This mansion occupies the best position in the entire Cangcheng, with the back mountain hunting grounds and lakes, covering an area of about 30 square kilometers.

The private house in the backyard of the entire city lord's mansion is guarded by soldiers layer by layer, and the arch is heavily guarded. The lord's house was inhabited by two hundred servants and a thousand guards. The most private place in the backyard, but only a dozen or so people live. This includes the couple of Le Zheng Gongtai and nine personal maids, and now there is a new guest Rong Yuanhang.

Back in the luxuriously and elegantly decorated room, Le Zheng Tianmiao couldn't wait to hug her husband and make love. Because she has just given birth for less than a month, she can't have excessive affectionate behavior, and both parties have restraint. Rong Yuanhang broke his wife who wanted to ask for a kiss again, and said with a smile: "Tianmiao, what about our baby daughter?" ”

"Next door, the nurse is taking care of it." Le Zheng Tianmiao looked at Rong Yuanhang, and felt that he couldn't leave him for a moment, so he couldn't forget it when he just attended the dinner, and while dealing with the families of those officials, his eyes were frequently watching.

Rong Yuanhang thought that this was not good, and said, "Why don't you let the baby come and sleep with us?" ”

Le Zheng Tianmiao tilted his face and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go." Pulling Rong Yuan out to the bedroom, in fact, there was only a heavy curtain from the nurse's room. The whole room is 200 square meters, there are several large wooden pillars in the middle, and the distance between the ground and the roof tile surface reaches about 10 meters, which looks very empty.

"Sister Xing'er, did Le'er sleep?" Le Zheng Tianmiao took Rong Yuanhang's hand, and with the other hand, he opened the curtain casually, and saw Xing'er breastfeeding the baby.

"Ah, uncle, miss!" Xing'er's face was red, she was now wearing a tie in the armpits, a kind of underarm tie robe, because she had to breastfeed, the clothes had to be untied, revealing round shoulders and a pair of fat **, white and full of very dazzling eyeballs.

"After feeding this milk, I went to sleep." In front of Rong Yuanhang, Xing'er was too ashamed to raise her head. She wanted to move her body to avoid it, but the owner's purpose was to see the child, which made her dare not hide away, so she had to keep this breastfeeding action.

Rong Yuanhang looked at it and swallowed saliva secretly, but Le Zheng Tianmiao didn't notice the change in his heart at all, but happily pointed to the baby and smiled: "Brother Yuanhang, look, she seems to be asleep?" …… The little one sucks milk. ”

Rong Yuanhang was not very convenient to get close to his daughter in the past, but asked, "Tianmiao, why don't you breastfeed the baby?" ”

Hearing this, Xing'er suddenly raised her head and looked over in shock, thinking that Rong Yuanhang, the uncle, disliked herself.

"Me? I...... My mother said, I don't have enough milk. "Tianmiao is a little embarrassed.

Rong Yuanhang noticed Xing'er's mood change, and hurriedly smiled and said to her, "Your name is Xing'er, right?" ”

"Yes!" Xing'er wanted to stand up and answer, but Rong Yuanhang pressed his hand and said, "I didn't mean anything else, I just asked casually." You're very good, thank you for taking good care of Le'er. ”

"Don't dare to be, my uncle is serious. …… The little lady is very cute, and the slave and maid also like her. Panicked, Xing'er hurriedly bowed her head and saluted. But her huge twin peaks were really tempting, Rong Yuanhang secretly blamed herself for being too sexy, and said, "Hmm...... You go on, let's go back to sleep. ”

Xing'er is a nurse carefully selected by Li Ruoqi. In the future, she will also take on the responsibility of Rong Leer's care and teaching. Layer by layer screening. Li Ruoqian picked out this apricot with a benevolent, generous, gentle, respectful, obedient and quiet personality. Make her a granddaughter's teacher, then play the role of a loving mother, and then it is the duty of a nanny, living in the same room with her granddaughter. In short, together with several other maids, he is responsible for the cultivation of Rong Leer's virtue and the cooking of daily life. (To be continued.) )
