A few days later, after discussion among the Yu family, Yu Shiyuan decided to write a letter first and ask Yu Wenshu his opinion, after all, he was the one who dealt with the Japanese Kou, and it was only appropriate for him to make the final decision.

The messenger worked hard day and night, and arrived in Hangzhou in only four days.

But Yu Wenshu was not in Hangzhou, but went to Yingtianfu.

Yingtianfu has a huge Longjiang shipyard, the Ministry of Industry has been supported by the emperor, has sent people to draw detailed drawings, Jiang Sumei's hedgehog ship is built here, Yu Wenshu is to supervise, once the warship is built, it will soon be put into war.

He was looking forward to this, so he came in person.

The shipbuilding industry of this dynasty has been very developed, six-masted ships, seven-masted grain ships, eight-masted horse ships, etc. can be built, but it is a pity that in the aspect of warships, it has always been very weak, of course, the army accounts for a large part of the reason, so as soon as Yu Wenshu arrived in Hangzhou, he ordered the generals to vigorously train the naval army, so that they could regain their morale as soon as possible.

At this moment, he was asking the shipbuilder about the progress of the hedgehog ship, when he heard Changde say behind him: "Master, there is a letter from home, and it was sent to Hangzhou yesterday." ”

Yu Wenshu hurriedly opened it to see.

In the letter, Old Man Yu mentioned Jiang Sumei's suggestion, although the evaluation was only a few words, but it had to be seen that Old Man Yu agreed, so now wait for his meaning.

He folded the letter and put it in his sleeve and walked out the door.

Today is cloudless, the weather is exceptionally refreshing, the long river in front of him is sparkling, like a jade belt lying between heaven and earth, he looked at the beautiful scenery, pondered for a long time, and then slowly walked back to his temporary residence.

There, he picked up his pen and wrote a reply.

Undoubtedly, Jiang Sumei's judgment is correct, the people along the coast are indeed afraid of the Japanese invaders, but it is also because of the trend of interests that they will collude with the Japanese invaders, since he has found the key, maybe he should not hesitate anymore.

Now, what he needs is a decisive victory.

A battle that can regain the power of the army and impress the people!

Only if he wins, can he persuade the emperor to make a promise, because everything else is empty words, and everything still has to be proved by facts.

Yu Shiyuan read the letter and nodded with satisfaction: "Just do what Manjushri said, and when he wins a big battle one day, he will play the emperor one day, and ask the emperor to promise to reopen the sea ban in the future." ”

Yu Zhuo was a little worried: "Last time, my father said that the consequences would be serious, even if Manjushri won a battle, what if he lost in the future?" ”

"When I want you to be cautious, you are frizzy, and when you want to be decisive, you shrink your head again." Yu Shiyuan scolded Yu Zhuo, "Manjushri said so, he naturally has a way, don't you still believe in your son?" ”

Yu Zhuo's face flushed, but he was still unconvinced: "It's one thing to believe, but it's not all certain." ”

"Father!" Jiang Sumei was afraid that Yu Zhuo would continue to talk about it, and she would have to be scolded by Old Man Yu, so she hurriedly said, "We are all worried about the safety of Xianggong, but in the current situation, you also know that if Xianggong can't win, he still can't save it, but with the emperor's promise, the chances are greater, so naturally we have to give it a try." Besides, Xianggong also emphasized that when he wins, then he will finally have merit, and even if he fails, it will not be nothing, and the emperor will not leave no room for nothing. ”

She analyzed it very thoroughly, and Yu Zhuo also understood, and said with a smile: "I see, Su Mei, you are still smart!" ”

Old Man Yu looked at Yu Zhuo and shook his head, hating that iron could not become steel.

But he is also used to it, and he has no expectations for this son in the morning, and now he doesn't often go out to go crazy, and it's good that he is willing to stay at home.

In the end, there are more than one or two people in the Yu family who can hope for it.

In the future, maybe the granddaughter-in-law will have to give birth to a few sons.

Old Man Yu waited for the matter to finish, then left, everyone stayed, he said that he would go home in the future, and there was no need to rush for a while, and everyone did not force it again, but he was still worried about his body, sent a few more people, and invited a doctor to come over.

At this time, Yu Huaiyuan and Yu Zhirong have learned to speak, calling their father and mother, Jiang Sumei feels happy and sad, she really hopes that Yu Wenshu can come back as soon as possible, but she knows that this is an extravagant hope.

How easy is it to win outright?

It's impossible to do without a few years.

In the summer of the second year, the Liu family gave birth to a prince, during this period, Concubine De was abolished, Concubine Ning was beaten into the cold palace, they paid a heavy price to prevent the Liu family from giving birth to a child, but in the end, it was still not fulfilled.

I have to say that to survive in the harem and to maintain your status, you need a high IQ, except for those like Concubine Shun, who have a particularly good character and are favored by nobles.

All the women went into the palace to congratulate themselves.

Jiang Sumei also went, and when Liu saw her, she behaved very kindly and asked her to sit on the edge of the bed and talk.

The rest of the people were surprised.

Jiang Nianmei was also a little strange, she didn't know when Jiang Sumei was so valued by the Liu family, and she didn't hear that the Liu family had anything to do with her, but Concubine Shun called a few of them into the palace a few times.

When she went back, Jiang Nianmei smiled and said, "Why don't you go and sit with me, it's still early anyway." ”

Since King Jing was drunk last time, she and Jiang Sumei have not come to each other's house to sit, which is a little embarrassing to say, because Jiang Nianmei didn't expect King Jing to make such a fuss at that time.

She has always been outside, and her manners, words and deeds are flawless, but her father-in-law has lost her etiquette, Jiang Nianmei is a little annoyed, and she is temporarily embarrassed to associate with Jiang Sumei.

But it's been a long time now, and it's no longer the same.

Jiang Sumei thought that she was always a sister, could she still be a stranger, so she went with her.

This time, the old princess was also there, her health was getting better day by day, and she reappeared again, she was quite happy to see Jiang Sumei, and she talked for a while, and asked her to come with the Yin family next time.

But she only sat down and left, and in the end she was old and sick, and she still looked very weak.

"Actually, my mother often thinks about it, but it's just inconvenient to disturb, so she hasn't come." Jiang Sumei paused, "What was the disease before, after so long, is it really cured now?" ”

No wonder she asked that, although the old princess met her, she always felt that something was wrong, and the old princess's whole mood was different from before.

The old princess's words and deeds were very neat before, but now, her temperament seems to have changed a little.

She couldn't say it well.

Jiang Nianmei sighed: "The imperial doctor can't say for sure, just say that when they get older, they have all kinds of strange diseases, and sometimes they can't do anything, but fortunately, my mother was quite healthy, and it would be good for her to be like this." ”

Meaning, even if there are some changes, it's always good to get better.

Jiang Sumei thinks about it, not to mention the present, it is the future of scientific development, and there is no treatment for many diseases.

The two gossiped a few words, and Jiang Nianmei got to the point: "I saw you and the queen mother very close just now, but you often go to the palace?" But I've never met you. ”

"It's a good mother, but in fact, I don't have much friendship, I just go to Concubine Shun's mother, and I occasionally meet it." Because of the relationship between King Jing, Jiang Sumei will not have a heart-to-heart relationship with Jiang Nianmei.

Husband and wife are both prosperous and lossy, and the relationship between the two is definitely much closer than that of relatives.

Jiang Nianmei smiled: "The queen is really good to Concubine Shun, and it is rare, like those concubines in the palace, which one is not intrigued?" Concubine Shun is also blessed, and she gave birth to a prince, and everyone is very envious. ”

Jiang Sumei snorted: "Everyone has their own life." ”

"yes." Jiang Nianmei ordered someone to bring the chilled bayberry soup, "It's hot today, it's more comfortable to drink this, this bayberry is grown by the village itself, it's very delicious, you can take some back in a while." ”

Jiang Sumei was surprised: "Kyoto is not easy to grow, I also planted it before, but the bayberry that grows is not delicious at all, it is very sour." ”

"It's all from the world, and I've had decades of experience." Jiang Nianmei said with a smile, "The climate in Kyoto is not very easy to grow, so I let you taste it together, I also have a lot here, and it will rot if you can't finish eating." ”

Jiang Sumei did not refuse: "That's very good, as soon as I say it, my saliva comes out." ”

After the two drank the bayberry soup, Jiang Nianmei asked someone to remove the dishes, and after another look, those maids and rings all retreated.

It seems that there is something important to talk about.

Jiang Sumei sat up a little upright.

"This time the queen gave birth to a prince, and our sisters are not outsiders, so I have a few words to say." Jiang Nianmei whispered, "According to the emperor's favor for Niangniang, I think most of the prince's position is going to be moved, you have a good relationship with Niangniang now, that's very good, but your Yu family must not get too close to the prince." ”

Jiang Sumei was stunned, thinking to herself, how could Jiang Nianmei tell her this?

Now that this little baby has only been born, the fourth prince has just been born, and it will take several years to grow up, so why bother to discuss this?

She was strange, but she also answered: "We didn't have a relationship with the prince originally, and Xianggong is not the prince's master." ”

She didn't say anything about it, only said something dispensable.

Jiang Nianmei couldn't help but be a little disappointed, thinking that she was not keen on this, but I heard Xianggong say that Jiang Sumei's status in the family is not low, that is, Old Man Yu has a good opinion of her, then, more or less, it should be different from those good wives and mothers, who only know each other and teach their children.

So why, don't say anything?

"Third sister, do you think what I said is right?" Jiang Nianmei guided her to speak, "If there is something negligent, please ask the third sister for advice." ”

Jiang Sumei frowned, she was still very serious.

However, this matter is not suitable for them to discuss, because it is unpredictable and too early, so even if it is discussed, what is the use?

Who knows what the emperor really thinks, and who knows when he will change his mind?

Unless it's a plan......

Her gaze towards Jiang Nianmei revealed a hint of inquiry.
