Jin Muxing nodded, secretly remembering the name, and then looked at the other person and asked, "What about the scholar?" ”

Zhan Yuan looked over and saw a scholar in a striped robe talking to Zhang Shouliang.

The scholar had a restrained expression on his face, he only listened and didn't speak, and he and Li Xingfu were like two opposites.

"He is the newly appointed inspector of the Supervision Yuan, Li Zhong." Zhan Yuan said.

It's the Inspectorate again? Jin Muxing frowned.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of three strangers again, but this time he didn't ask his son-in-law because they were talking to Wang Gui and Lu Yun'er.

"Old man Wang, Yun'er." He greeted him warmly.

"Ah, it's Uncle Kim." Lu Yun'er smiled and saluted, and Wang Gui also arched his hand and said, "Brother Jin." ”

Because of Jin Yuanwu's relationship, and Lu Yun'er and Lu Yun'er lived in the Jin family when they first came to Hui'an Mansion, so the two were grateful to Jin Muxing.

"Yun'er, who are these three?" Jin Muxing asked.

Lu Yun'er smiled sweetly and said, "Uncle Jin, this is Uncle Yang, he has just been transferred to the Engineer Academy as a deputy envoy, and his shipbuilding skills are very praised by his grandfather." ”

"The envoy of Xiaolu is polite, how can my craftsmanship be compared to Wang Lao." Yang Xun said with a smile, and then, he pointed to Yang Yi and introduced: "This is my son and daughter-in-law." ”

Jin Muxing returned the salute and greeted the three of them very skillfully.

During the conversation, he intentionally or unintentionally said the official positions of his son-in-law and son, but unfortunately the father and son of the Yang family did not react in particular, which made him a little unhappy.

……

At the same time, in the cabin of the big ship, after Sun Shaoqing assigned the affairs on the ship, he stood up and asked Lan'er on the side, "Has everyone boarded the ship?" ”

"Miss Yutong hasn't come yet, it seems that she is separating from her classmates in the academy." Lan'er said.

"Then wait for her a while."

Standing up, Sun Shaoqing pushed open the hatch and walked towards the next cabin.

Lan'er stepped forward and knocked on the door, and the hatch quickly opened, and it was Jin'er who opened the door.

"Second lady." Jin'er gave a bow and let go of the way.

Sun Shaoqing stepped into the cabin and saw Su Liuying reading a letter.

"Did your sister write it again?" She walked over to Su Liuying and sat down.

"yes." Su Liuying's pretty face wrinkled, and she said angrily: "Sister is really, I have to say that I was bullied by you and Sister Qin." ”

"Let me see." Sun Shaoqing was very interested, took the letter in her hand, and read it.

Seeing that her expression gradually became serious, Su Liuying hurriedly said, "What's the matter, is there anything wrong with the letter?" ”

Sun Shaoqing sighed secretly, she was born in a businessman, and she was very familiar with the intrigue between people since she was a child, as soon as she saw the content of Su Liuying's sister's letter, she knew that the other party was a woman with a deep city.

This made her a little worried, after all, the other party had a lot of influence on Su Liuying, and if she instigated Su Liuying to intrigue with herself, she would be in trouble in the future.

After considering the wording, Sun Shaoqing said softly: "Sister Su, you haven't seen your sister for so many years, and now she is a concubine of Changle Hou, maybe it will change a lot." ”

"What do you mean?" Su Liuying wondered.

Sun Shaoqing thought for a while and said, "Just like the group of people she sent over for you to take care of before, I don't feel like serious people." ”

Su Liuying was silent, she naturally noticed this, and thinking of her sister's character, maybe she still had the ambition to restore the country in her heart.

Recently, during a period of time in Hui'an Mansion, she often thought about one thing, whether to tell her identity to her father-in-law, and Su Wan's appearance made her realize that she could not let go of the past.

"Don't worry, I'm mentally prepared." Su Liuying said softly.

On the dock, Liao Jing looked at the direction of the big ship, very anxious, for fear that the big ship would leave at once.

However, Lu Yutong was still chatting with Zhao Qing.

She couldn't help it anymore and said loudly, "Aren't you going to be separated for a few days?" Brother Zhao Qing will bring her to Hangzhou in a few days, Yutong, let's get on the boat first! ”

Zhao Qing said angrily: "What do you mean for a few days? Leaving me alone in Hui'an Mansion for several days, and you dare to say such things, won't your conscience hurt? ”

"Don't be so exaggerated, okay? How old are you? Liao Jing glanced at her and was unmoved.

Zhao Qing glared at her, took Lu Yutong's little hand and said, "Yutong, you must wait for me, you are not allowed to go to interesting places first, and you are not allowed to eat delicious things first, you must wait for me to come, let's play together and eat together!" ”

"Nope." Lu Yutong ruthlessly refused.

"Why?" Zhao Qing was heartbroken.

"Because my brother promised to take me to West Lake for fishing and boating, and also promised to take me to eat ice candied fruit in Hangzhou!" Lu Yutong said with a straight finger.

Zhao Qing frowned and said, "Okay, you can do these things first, and the rest will have to wait until I come!" ”

"Okay." This time, Lu Yutong agreed.

"Be sure to wait for me!"

"Hmm." Lu Yutong nodded vigorously, and ran towards the big boat with Liao Jing, and Zhao Qing, who stayed in place, couldn't help waving his little hand to say goodbye to the two.

Not long after, the big ship set sail and left, and Zhao Qing waited until the big ship disappeared, and then reluctantly withdrew his gaze.

Turning her head to look around, she quickly spotted her brother's figure, and ran quickly, only to see him talking to a short man.

She knew the man and knew that his name was Wang Dali, and he was a friend of her brother. Grabbing the corner of Zhao Dongyi, Zhao Qing began to think about what method to use to get his brother to take him to Hangzhou as soon as possible.

……

Yuezhou.

In the temporary palace, Qian Hongyu stood in the back garden, looking at a withered small flower in a daze, stunned.

After returning to Yuezhou, he realized that it was impossible for him to retake Hangzhou, Qingyuan and Tang would definitely take advantage of the fire to loot, and Hui'an Mansion might be pressing forward step by step.

In just a few days, everything has changed so much that he is still in a trance.

Suddenly, there was a slight sound of footsteps behind him, and Qian Hongyu was too lazy to look at it or ask, and continued to look at Xiaohua blankly.

"Your Majesty, Niangniang, they are all back!" The voice of the old eunuch Wei Hui sounded behind him.

"Oh? Are they back? Qian Hongyu's eyes regained some brilliance.

For some reason, he didn't value these concubines originally, but hearing that they came over without leaving still made him feel a lot better.

"Yes, all the mothers have been found." The old eunuch said.

In fact, there was another lady who didn't come, and that was Concubine Dai, but Wei Hui was not so stupid and took the initiative to mention her in front of Qian Hongyu.

"Settle them down first, and the widow will come back to see them later." Qian Hongyu commanded.

The old eunuch was ordered to retreat.

Qian Hongyu took a deep breath, cheered up a little, and walked back to his study.

After sitting for a moment, he said to a little eunuch, "Let General Xiao, General Chen, and General Li come over." ”

"Yes." The little eunuch took the order and left.

Suddenly, he spoke up, "Impermanence, haven't they come back yet?" ”

"Nope." The god of the night, hidden in the shadows, replied.

Qian Hongyu sighed and waited silently.

Not long after, Xiao Fu, Chen Fei and Li Yan entered the study together.

Xiao Fu is the envoy of the Zhendong Army, and his face is a little unpleasant at the moment.

He was originally inclined to Cai Gao, and the events of the past few days made him more and more dissatisfied with Qian Hongyu.

Xiao Fu was originally stationed in Mingzhou, but since Qian Hongyu came to Xiuzhou, he was transferred to Xiuzhou, and as a result, the Shanha and Gaoshan people on the Mingzhou side immediately rebelled.

He asked to see Qian Hongli several times, but he was not received, and he also heard that Chuzhou and Wenzhou had been attacked by the Qingyuan army, but Qian Hongyu only hid in the back garden every day, and did not pay attention to political affairs at all, which made him extremely disappointed.

"Tell me about the recent situation." Qian Hongyu didn't notice his emotions and spoke.

Li Yan said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, a few days ago, Qingyuan attacked Chuzhou and Wenzhou on a large scale, and Wenzhou's Jing Navy defeated Chen Hongjin, but the Wusheng army in Chuzhou was defeated by the Qingyuan army, and now half of the land in Chuzhou has fallen into the hands of the Qingyuan army. ”

Originally, there were thirteen states in Wuyue, with Hangzhou as the node, three states in the north and Kyushu in the south. However, Muzhou and Fuzhou were captured by Hui'an and Qingyuan respectively, and now there are only seven states in the south.

"The Chen Hongjin you are talking about, is he the first fierce general under Liu's subordinates?" Qian Hongyu asked urgently.

He had already prepared for the worst, but when he suddenly heard that his subordinates had defeated Chen Hongjin, he was very excited.

"That's the man!" Li Yan replied.

"What's the details of this battle?"

According to the military report, this battle was commanded by Tang Bian, who fought head-on with the enemy outside the city, and secretly sent a team of cavalry to make a detour and copy the enemy's rear road, so as to win. However, although the battle was won, the Jing Navy suffered heavy casualties, and it was unable to go to the rescue of the state. ”

"Tang Bian! It's him again! Sure enough, he is the one who can really rely on the widow! And not that bastard Li Junyi! Qian Hongyu hit his palm with his fist.

After a pause, he gritted his teeth and said, "The widow decided to go to Wenzhou, what do you think?" ”
