This night, the Fu Mansion was very lively.

Fu Xiaoguan briefly talked about the things he did in Shangjing, of course, he didn't say that he scolded the Ministry of Rites to vomit blood, let alone the assassination, which worried his family, what he said was very simple and easy, and it seemed that it was easy to do.

Fu Daguan guessed a little about the hardships, but the six mothers believed it and admired it very much.

In the end, Fu Daguan once again asked a serious topic, "Son, do you have a favorite person?" Now the threshold of my Fu Mansion is about to be broken by the matchmaker, especially the girl of the head of the Yao Ji family, who runs to your Qiniang every once in a while, according to my father, this girl is also very good, enthusiastic and virtuous, and she is good to give birth to...... Did you give this a deal this time? ”

The six mothers all looked at Fu Xiaoguan, Fu Xiaoguan touched his nose and smiled: "Don't worry about this, I have a favorite person now, just in Beijing, you can see you when you go to the New Year." ”

"Who is it? Let's hear it. Qu Linglong asked curiously.

Although she is already married, she is only sixteen years old after all, and she still looks like that curious girl in her mentality.

"Dong Shulan, the daughter of Dong Shangshu of the household department, once came to Linjiang to talk about the emperor's business."

"Ah, it's her, no wonder!" The six mothers were taken aback, Fu Xiaoguan actually climbed the Hubu Shangshu, no wonder he can be like a fish in water in Shangjing, this kid is really good, pity those girls in Linjiang, I want to come to the boudoir at the moment.

Fu Daguan frowned, he knew very well what the situation was in his own family, although he had said to Fu Xiaoguan that he should marry a wife like Dong Shulan, but at this moment, when Fu Xiaoguan said that it was Dong Shulan, he was still a little flustered.

If the door is not the right door, I am afraid that there will be apostasy.

"Their family...... Do you have any comments? Fu Daguan asked.

"What can you say? Shulan and I are in love, and besides, I don't have the Jinshi background given by His Majesty. ”

Fu Daguan thought for a while, yes, my son is also an official of the imperial court now, so this matter is estimated to be successful.

"When are you going to propose? Daddy, get ready. ”

"Don't worry, let's talk about it in two or three years."

"Where is this? Can Shulan wait? Can parents agree? No, no, if you don't want to go to Beijing in the New Year, your father will come to the door to propose? ”

"This ...... It really needs to wait a little longer, because Shulan is not the only one. ”

"Uh......" Fu Daguan was stunned, but the six mothers laughed, "The junior official is amazing, he went to Beijing for two months and found two people he liked, but I don't know who this other one is?" ”

"This, this other one is the Ninth Princess Yu Wenyun."

"Yike......!" Everyone exclaimed, even Fu Daguan was stunned.

O princess!

No, didn't the princess recruit horses?

Could it be that these nine princesses will get married?

How did this guy hook up with the princess?

Looking at the so many jewels and jade he brought back, could it be that it was sent by the emperor of this family?

It is estimated that it is, otherwise why would the emperor personally inscribe the Fu Mansion? This is to glorify the lintel of the Fu family and raise the value of his son-in-law.

So the eyes of the six mothers who looked at Fu Xiaoguan became more and more enthusiastic, especially the second mother Qi, who felt that what Fu Xiaoguan said just now did not lie to him.

If the little official and Her Royal Highness the princess become relatives, it is not a simple matter to ask for a wealth for Xiaoxi, and the center of gravity of this Fu Mansion will be moved to Jinling in the future.

"The situation in the middle is a bit complicated, so don't worry, Dad, I'll take care of it, as for the other people who come to propose, you just say that I already have a partner, just let them give up, and don't talk about the Ninth Princess and Dong Shulan, this will damage their reputation, but remember it."

The banquet became more and more lively, Fu Daguan drank a lot of wine and got drunk, Fu Xiaoguan didn't care about him, there were six mothers, he returned to the backyard and left Fu Mansion with Su Mo and went to Linjiang Academy.

Qin Bingzhong left Beijing two days earlier than him, and he wanted to meet Qin Bingzhong, mainly to take Qin Chengye, a kid.

At the beginning of the Qin Mansion in Shangjing, Qin Chengye said that he was very interested in this firearm, and he had also studied and discussed with those masters in the Firearms Bureau, among which there were many ways to improve, but the imperial court did not attach importance to this thing at all, and did not allocate funds, and those methods could only be left on paper.

This kid has a good characteristic, he likes to specialize, his mind is sharp, and he talks endlessly about the improvement of firearms, which is extremely close to the flintlock pistol of the previous life.

Fu Xiaoguan felt that he might pick up a treasure, not to mention that before leaving, Qin Chengye also said that there were many masters in the Firearms Bureau who also wanted to leave, and if Fu Xiaoguan wanted to, he would talk about it and see how much he could take away. In addition, Yu Wenyun begged Shang Guifei and got more than a dozen masters from the Foundry Bureau.

This undoubtedly provided the first batch of talents for the research and development of Xishan Firearms, and it is still the best group of talents in the world.

When I came to Linjiang Academy, there was no light in the pavilion next to the lotus pond, the weather was cold, and Qin Bingzhong's body and bones couldn't stand the cold winter.

He and Su Mo went down to a small two-story building inside under the guidance of the gatehouse, which was brightly lit.

In the study on the second floor, Fu Xiaoguan saw Qin Bingzhong and Qin Chengye, and everyone was very happy and gathered together to make tea.

"When did you arrive in Linjiang?" Qin Bingzhong asked.

"Tonight."

"Why don't you stop and come back tomorrow."

"Ming'er is going to Xishan, and the time is quite tight...... Chengye, how many masters did you bring out? ”

Qin Chengye's face was excited, like a bird that had finally escaped from its cage.

"Eight, all of them are masters, but I gave them this salary according to what you said, and you can't go back."

Fu Xiaoguan laughed and patted Qin Chengye on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I just have a lot of money." ”

Qin Chengye was immediately happy, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid you don't know how much silver it will cost to transform this firearm into the way you said." ”

"Don't be afraid, you just have to worry about it."

Qin Bingzhong looked at Qin Chengye with a somewhat complicated look, since Qin Tong's death, he had actually wanted to train this grandson to become a talent, Qin Chengye's studies were not bad, but his preferences were different from many students.

Now that Qin Chengye has finally embarked on another path, it can be seen that he likes it from the bottom of his heart, so let him go.

"Mowen has taken office, and he said that when everything is settled, he will come to Linjiang to see you."

"How does this work? He is now a platform, and when I am done with the affairs of Xishan, I will visit him. ”

Qin Bingzhong smiled slightly: "If you talk about it, he still depends on you for this platform." ”

Fu Xiaoguan was stunned, and Qin Bingzhong shook his head, "I know your relationship with Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess, but I didn't expect you to be so important in Shang Guifei's heart!" ”

"I heard a piece of news before I left, and after thinking about it for a long time, I still have to tell you, and you should be prepared."

Fu Xiaoguan's expression suddenly became serious, and Qin Bingzhong said slowly: "The desolate people accepted His Majesty's conditions, that is to say, they are going to build a palace to marry Her Royal Highness the Third Princess, of course, it cannot be as vast as my Dayu Palace." According to the preliminary estimate, this palace will be completed in the autumn and winter of next year, and when the time comes, send the third princess to the wasteland country, and you are very likely to be the representative of the Heqin Mission. ”

"Who said that?"

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, Yu Shurong!"
