"Lord, do you want to ...... A little more spies to keep an eye on, otherwise... If any of them are to get along, I'm afraid something will go wrong......"

After the meeting, Li Yan did not leave in a hurry, but expressed his worries to Xu Changqing by drinking a cup of tea.

There's nothing wrong with that.

After all, people's hearts are separated from their bellies, and at this time, Shi Kefa's 300,000 soldiers are still very influential and attractive, and it is definitely not unusual for someone to have a crooked butt, even if Li Yan knows that Xu Changqing must have a backhand, but at this critical time, it must be better to have more than one thing.

As a military advisor, although Li Yan was deprived of some of his core rights by Xu Changqing and turned more to government affairs, he still has a lot of right to make suggestions, and this is also his responsibility.

"Hehe, it's okay."

Xu Changqing smiled: "If someone likes to dance, let them dance." Strategist, these days, don't bother too much about this matter, first prepare the aftermath and reward, hehe, let's not worry. ”

Looking at Xu Changqing lightly wiping the teacup, Rao is Li Yan already had some expectations in his heart, but he still couldn't help but feel a little chilly, this is to make an example of the chickens and monkeys...... But what if there are too many people......

After struggling for a moment, Li Yan didn't speak again, and hurriedly said yes respectfully.

At this time, he also had to admire, Xu Changqing really could only look up to Xu Changqing, no matter his mind or means......

However, this also makes Li Yan more down-to-earth, and with such a lord, there is more hope...... Of course, the premise is that you have to do yourself well first.

Li Yan left, Xu Changqing was just about to go to the back house, and here, suddenly a personal soldier came to report: "Zhang Ruoqi, the prison guard, asks to see him." ”

This made Xu Changqing frown slightly.

In the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, Xu Changqing spent almost all of his time on the expedition, either on the expedition or on the way to the expedition, at this time, Li Youwei had already given birth, and successfully gave birth to Xu Changqing's eldest son, including Tang Yu, who also gave birth to a daughter, but Xu Changqing didn't have time to see that Zhang Ruoqi, the turtle son, was so unsightly.

But after thinking about it for a while, Xu Changqing still decided to meet Zhang Ruoqi first.

At this time, although Zhang Ruoqi's prison army has been abolished, and the people are generally abolished, but the Zhang family is a strong man in Jiaozhou, and his influence here is not weak.

In short, this is a greasy old bureaucrat, although his ability is average, and his mental skills are not too positive, but there is nothing wrong with waving the flag and shouting, especially at this joint.

After a short time, Zhang Ruoqi was led here, and he hurriedly saluted Xu Changqing in a regular manner: "Your lower official Zhang Ruoqi, I have seen my uncle......

"Hehe, Master Zhang, how are these days, sit, sit down and talk. Come on, good tea. ”

Xu Changqing looked at Zhang Ruoqi with a faint smile.

Seeing that Xu Changqing's attitude was very soft, but the unspeakable momentum was becoming more and more domineering, Zhang Ruoqi was careful and secretly glad at the same time, fortunately, fortunately, he didn't leave a dead knot with this master back then, otherwise, I don't know how I really died today.

Hurriedly and humbly sat down with half of his buttocks, and looked at Xu Changqing respectfully like a primary school student, waiting for Xu Changqing's instructions.

Xu Changqing was not in a hurry to speak, just playing with the tea cup in his hand like bored.

Not long after, the pretty little maid brought up fragrant tea, and Zhang Ruoqi even got up slightly to express her gratitude.

Looking at Zhang Ruoqi's performance, a smile appeared in the corner of Xu Changqing's eyes, as long as Zhang Ruoqi was willing to go to the road, he would have a chance.

After taking a sip of tea slowly, Xu Changqing was not in a hurry: "Master Zhang, count it up, we can be regarded as half a fellow countryman." In recent years, has Mr. Zhang ever returned to his hometown? ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Ruoqi almost trembled, and the hope in his eyes was almost impossible to hide, and he hurriedly said respectfully: "Uncle, it's also ashamed, all these years, I have been busy with various things, but I have forgotten my hometown." In the future, if he has time, he will definitely go back to his hometown for some time and do what he can for the elders in his hometown......"

"Haha."

Seeing Zhang Ruoqi's almost red statement to himself, Xu Changqing couldn't help but laugh: "Lord Zhang, there will be a chance!" By the way, I've always heard that Master Zhang has been good at arguing since he was young, so why don't you go to visit Shi Butang together this time? ”

Zhang Ruoqi was suddenly clever and couldn't help but be overjoyed, but in an instant, he forcibly suppressed this joy, and hurriedly said more respectfully: "Uncle, what do you ......mean?"

Xu Changqing smiled faintly: "It's simple, have a good chat with Shi Butang, listen to his appeals, and by the way, also understand the situation in Jiangnan." Jiangnan is the heart of my Daming, even if my Daming has a slight setback in the north at this time, but it is only a temporary pain, Lord Zhang, you are a talent, Ben Bo believes that you can handle this matter well! ”

Even though Xu Changqing said it was extremely vague, how could Zhang Ruoqi, the old fritter, not understand the deep meaning?

Busy is deeply bowed to Xu Changqing: "Uncle is really worthy of being my Ming Dynasty's loyal pillar, uncle, don't worry, in this matter, the lower officials will go to the soup and fire, and they will not hesitate to ......."

After sending Zhang Ruoqi away, a relaxed smile appeared on the corner of Xu Changqing's mouth, since Shi Butang wants to play, then have fun!

……

"The master is coming!"

After a while, a maid's scream like a broken throat suddenly came from the back house.

Soon, the entire back house began to stir rapidly.

Li Youwei, Wu Sanmei, Chu Xue, Gu Hengbo, Tang Yu, Chen Yuanyuan, Kou Baimen, Yishui Girl, Zuo Mengmei and other wives of Xu Changqing, who had been preparing for a long time, hugged the children and touched up their makeup, and hurriedly walked towards the main hall at the junction of the backyard and the middle courtyard.

This main hall is also the center of Xu Changqing's back house, covering an area of about three and a half acres, although there are no accommodation rooms around, but on weekdays, the back house has dinners, meetings, including ancestor worship and many other things, are here.

And here, Yang and Li Youwei's mother Rao, as well as Wu Sanmei's mother Zu, including Xu Changqing's mother-in-law, have been waiting here for a long time.

As Li Youwei and Wu Sanmei arrived one by one, Xu Changqing also changed into a black robe at home, and came here with a smile under the escort of several maids.

"If you don't have a filial son, you will kowtow to your mother!"

When he came to the hall, Xu Changqing didn't have time to see his wife and children, so he hurriedly kowtowed to the Yang family first.

Huaguo has been in China for 5,000 years, and since ancient times, it has been 'ruling the world with filial piety', in this regard, even Xu Changqing does not dare to be sloppy, especially after the position is getting higher and higher.

"Good boy, get up, get up......"

In the past few years, the Yang family still picked on Xu Changqing from time to time, for fear that Xu Changqing would be too reckless, not stable enough, and lose the family business.

But at this time, the family business laid by Xu Changqing in front of him, the little bit of their Xu family, is not even a little fur......

Especially after Li Youwei gave birth to her eldest grandson, her mentality had already changed, and she couldn't care about so many people present, so she was busy helping Xu Changqing up, and tears were about to fall out.

gave a salute to the Yang family, and Xu Changqing gave a salute to the Rao family and the Zu family and a few little mothers-in-law respectively, and when the process was completed, it was Li Youwei's turn.

"Xu Lang, look, the little thing hasn't been named yet."

Li Youwei is obviously a lot plumper than before, but it is also more noble, full of maternal brilliance, in her arms, a meaty little guy sleeps fragrantly, especially the little chick is exposed to the most conspicuous outside like showing off, quite arrogant.

Xu Changqing was also a little confused for a while, he just wanted to sigh at the wonder of the creator, hugged Li Youwei heavily, and smiled: "Youwei, hard work." ”

Because of the birth of her eldest son, Li Youwei's mentality at this time has already changed a lot, in this Xu Mansion, in this Shandong Left Association, no one can shake her status.

She smiled sweetly at Xu Changqing, meaning that you know it, so she motioned Xu Changqing to hurry up and see Wu Sanmei, Tang Yu, and Gu Hengbo.

Wu Sanmei is still a few months away from giving birth at this time, but her belly is already round and bulging, and she doesn't know what's going on, she is a little hot, she has to stay at home honestly and take care of the fetus, during this time, she suffocated to death.

When Xu Changqing hugged her, she didn't know if it was Li Youwei's reason, she pinched Xu Changqing's waist angrily, and whispered: "Brother, I hate you to death, I knew that giving birth to a child was so uncomfortable, so I didn't give birth to you." ”

Xu Changqing couldn't help but sigh, but he held Wu Sanmei in his arms harder: "Third sister, it's hard work." You're so pretty, the little one in your belly must be even prettier. ”

"Huh?"

Wu Sanmei was stunned for a moment, her beautiful eyes couldn't help but be full of hope, but she said: "Brother, it's not necessarily, what if, what if the little things want to follow you?" That's not to be ugly......"

"I ......"

Xu Changqing was speechless for a moment.

……

Just when Xu Changqing was busy appeasing his back house and enjoying the warmth of this long-lost family, Xu Changqing's official hall was not far from the temporary official hall.

Empress Zhou, Zhu Cihong, Zhu Yujiao, Yuan Guifei and others finally finished the temporary placement of Emperor Chongzhen's coffin and came to stay in the back house of this official hall.

In fact, Queen Zhou's original intention was to stay in the guest room for a few days, after all, this is Xu Changqing's new house, Xu Changqing hasn't lived in it yet, but they lived first, which is definitely not a problem.

But Xu Changqing's insistence, she has no capital to refute at all.

At this time, the coffin of the Son of Heaven was temporarily placed in the front yard, and the group of them were crying and kneeling, already exhausted.

Originally, Xu Changqing arranged a courtyard for each of them, but Queen Zhou chose the most remote courtyard.

After all, many things have tended to be clear, and a shrewd person like Queen Zhou definitely doesn't want to offend people.

If she really doesn't know what to do and lives in the courtyard that should belong to Li Youwei or Wu Sanmei, then she won't be jealous in the future?

There is no such problem in the partial hospital.

First of all, the hostess who lives in the side courtyard will definitely not pose too much threat to her, and besides, it really can't be done, so it is no problem to push this side courtyard to build another house, or even change it into a Buddhist hall.

At this time, Zhu Yujiao, who has been fighting for the past few days, is tired and has no energy, she doesn't want to talk, she just wants to find a place to rest quickly.

"Hey, this, this is ......"

But as soon as he entered the door of this side courtyard, the prince Zhu Cihong in front was stunned and couldn't move.

"What's going on? What are you doing here? ”

Behind her, Queen Zhou was suddenly unhappy, and she didn't think she was tired enough today?

Zhu Yujiao, Zhu Cijiong, Yuan Guifei and others also looked at Zhu Cihong with some unhappiness.

"No, no, Queen Mother, you, look, this, this is unbelievable......"

Zhu Cihong came back to his senses for a moment, and stammered and pointed forward.

"Huh?"

Empress Zhou hurriedly squinted her eyes, stepped in front of Zhu Cihong, and looked at Zhu Cihong's stunned place.

Suddenly, she also subconsciously opened her mouth wide, and she was stunned on the spot, at a loss for a while.

After a while, Zhu Yujiao, Zhu Cijiong, and Yuan Guifei also took the little princess Zhaoren's little hand and came here, but they were also stunned at the same time.

I saw that in front of me was a small but indescribable living room.

In the living room, there are two rows, one large and two small fur seats, which make people feel high-end at first glance, and it must be very comfortable.

I don't know what the floor under my feet is made of, the pieces are big and neat, but they are full of homely smell, and there is no coldness.

The decorations on the surrounding Bogu shelves are not too expensive, but they make people look exquisite and feel comfortable.

Especially the window not far away, it is actually completely transparent, covered by I don't know what it is, but it is transparent, and you can clearly see the small rockery and flowers and plants outside.

At this time, the warm afterglow of the sunset penetrated from this object, and the warm breath was enough without a brazier, and people were in it, as if they were in a painting.
