Chapter 1190 and 996 can't be described
"You and I are husband and wife, you and Gentle Shiyan have to support me in many things, and I also know that it is dangerous to go out, but there are some things that you don't want to do and don't do them, our identity doesn't allow it, you know?"
Chen Xu looked at Meng Wan's delicate and peerless little face, and criticized it with righteous words.
"Husband, it's Wan'er's mistake, she shouldn't have said these things!" Meng Wan's eyes were red, and she whispered in Chen Xu's arms.
"It's not that I can't say it, I don't want to do it, it's just that this era doesn't allow us to be content with pleasure, or rather, it's not the time for us to be content with pleasure, my Daqin is generation after generation of kings and subjects who continue to work hard and accumulate and develop, so that you and I can see the prosperous and prosperous world today, and the world is so big, there are countless places waiting for us to conquer, and there are countless beautiful scenery waiting for us to enjoy, time is not waiting for me......"
Chen Xu shook his head regretfully.
Even if he didn't want to say these words, he still had to grit his teeth and say them.
Conquering the world is every man's dream, but for his wife and children who are left at home, it is an unparalleled sadness and pain.
Human beings have respected heroes since ancient times, but heroes are not chickens, they cannot hatch in their comfort nests, and only by fighting in blood and fire can they finally transform.
Meng Yun, as the son of Shangqing, can certainly rely on the shadow of his ancestors to become a high-ranking official of Great Qin in the future, but just like what Feng Quji said to his son, at most second-grade officials are definitely the apex of these people.
Nowadays, the law of Daqin is very strong, and a very good atmosphere has been formed since the Shang Dynasty, that is, the military merit knighthood, the imperial family is inexceptable, if there is no merit, the first emperor can not be knighted for the person he likes, although this law is very watery in the eyes of the emperor and the eyes of the courtiers, but relying on merit to be knighted is indeed an excellent way for civilians to become officials, which completely disrupted the hereditary aristocratic tradition of the Zhou Dynasty, and finally caused the invincible combat effectiveness of the Great Qin.
Although many of the laws of Daqin are indeed harsh, they have also given ordinary civilians many benefits, from the private ownership of farmland property to the knighthood of military merits, which have greatly promoted the development of society and won the support of countless low-level people.
Although the current Great Qin has been stable in the country, the Siyi has been conquered, in Chen Xu's view, the disadvantages of the old military merit knighthood are becoming more and more prominent, but this system still has a strong vitality, even if Chen Xu wants to carry out military reform, he will still take military merit as the main assessment target.
Encouraging Meng Yun, the children of the Gongqing family, to enter the army to open up territory for Great Qin will inevitably inspire the enthusiasm and courage of ordinary generals.
And Meng Yun can only truly transform in this way, and only in the future can they become the real pillars of Great Qin, they are the most loyal supporters of Great Qin, far more loyal to Great Qin than those civilian officials and generals who rose in the late cold period.
Therefore, in the face of Meng Wan's request, Chen Xu will never be soft-hearted.
Anyway, it wasn't him who went to join the army and suffer to fight, not to mention that the fourth princess was not his wife, and it was his business to stay alone in the empty room at home.
However, it is okay to instigate others to go to the territory to fight and win fame, let Chen Xu go by himself, he has now been knighted Shangqing, the double marquis is added, or the honor of the left minister of Great Qin plus the young master, he is already a very popular minister can no longer be sealed, continue to obtain the merit of destroying the country, I am afraid that the emperor does not know how to reward it, is it the last ruthless...... Give Emperor Chan to him.
Chen Xu shuddered slightly.
It's not his dream to be an emperor, it's too hard to stay up late and work overtime at work, 996 can't describe this kind of pain, it's best to be a free and idle marquis.
Back at the Qinghe Marquis Mansion, as soon as the carriage entered the courtyard, he heard the sound of the pan flute and the sound of the guqin in the living room.
"Husband, it seems that Dean Shi and Sister Wanwan are here!" Meng Wan happily got out of the car with her daughter in her arms.
Chen Xu took Meng Wan to the door of the guest hall accompanied by the maid who greeted him, and sure enough, he saw Shi Xuan and Wanwan husband and wife kneeling on the low couch, one playing the pan flute, the other playing the Qin Zheng, the combination of the qin and flute is playing a melodious and light music, the husband and wife are very focused and devoted, the movements look very harmonious and natural, the water is gentle, Ying Shiyan and Fan Caiying Fan Caiwei and several daughters are also sitting and listening to the music.
Chen Xu stopped the maid from going in to report, led Meng Wan to stand at the door and listened to a piece of music all the time, and watched Shi Xuan put down the pan flute, then he walked in with laughter and applause.
"Haha, the piano and flute ensemble skills of Dean Shi and Miss Tian have become more and more refined and proficient, this song is cheerful and melodious like a spring breeze, it is really a masterpiece!"
"Master Hou is back!" Shi Xuan and Wanwan hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"Husband~" Shui Qingrou and a group of wives and concubines also hurried up to greet them and salute.
"No courtesy, no need to be so polite at home!" Chen Xu waved his hand and walked to the chairman of the Central Committee to sit down, Shui gently brought a hot tea in person, and Meng Wan also sat down next to Ying Shiyan with her daughter in her arms.
"The dean and the Tian girl forgive the sins, Ben Hou took Wan Niang and her daughter to visit the imperial doctor, and left a banquet, so it is too late, please forgive the sins!" Chen Xu said to Shi Xuan and Wanwan.
"Master Hou must not bother my husband and wife, it is an honor to be invited by Lord Hou, just to be warmly entertained by a few ladies at dinner, and I can't help but show off when I sit idle, so that Lord Hou can laugh!" Shi Xuan hurriedly returned the salute.
After a brief greeting, Chen Xu didn't say what was going on with Shi Xuan and Wanwan, but called a group of singers and dancers to sing and dance in the living room, and at the same time put snacks, snacks, red wine and tea, while eating and drinking and listening to music, by the way, exchanged some quyi dance and the development of Qinghe Theater, after a few songs and dances, the sky has gradually darkened, and Shui Qingrou knew that Chen Xu had arrangements to invite Shi Xuan and Wanwan to come today, so he ordered the servants to leave with a group of women after holding the lamp.
After the living room quieted down, Shi Xuan said with some apprehension: "I don't know what the Hou Ye ordered to invite Xuan and my wife to come today?" ”
"Don't be nervous, Dean Shi, it's not an order, there is something Ben Hou wants to ask Miss Tian for help!" Chen Xu waved his hand.
Shi Xuan hurriedly stood up and arched his hand and said, "Xuan avoids it for the time being!" ”
"It's okay for Dean Shi to sit quietly, maybe Dean Shi will also secretly contribute to this matter, but what Ben Hou said today, whether you two do it or not, you must not reveal it!" Chen Xu raised his hand to comfort Shi Xuan and sat down.
"If Master Hou has something to order, my husband and wife will definitely go all out, and they will definitely keep it a secret!" Wanwan stood up and saluted.
"Yes, my husband and wife can have the care of Hou Ye today, although Hou Ye commands!" Although Shi Xuan was a little apprehensive in his heart, his tone was resolute.
"It's not difficult to do this, but it must be very hidden, and you must not reveal any connection with Ben Hou, do you two know that a new Chunfang Garden has opened in the south of the city?" Chen Xu asked.
Shi Xuan and Wanwan looked at each other and nodded together.
"Chunfangyuan has recently become very famous in the Xianyang Quyuan industry, I heard that it is the industry of Hou Zhaohai, and it seems that there are several nobles in the DPRK and China who have contributed to it, I don't know why Hou Ye asked?" Shi Xuan asked cautiously.
"Ben Hou wants to arrange for some people to secretly enter Chunfang Garden to help inquire about the news, but he can't let Jiancheng Hou find out, so he has to act secretly, Miss Tian is more familiar with the Xianyang Quyuan realm, and there may be many people who know him well before, so it is easier to operate, and it will not arouse the suspicion of too many people!"
Wanwan slowly sat down and nodded slightly with a calm face: "What Hou Ye said is that Tian Hui lived in the night street at the beginning, and made a living by singing and laughing in Yinyue Pavilion, although his reputation is not obvious, but he is indeed relatively clear about the people and things in Quyuan, and he also knows a lot of sisters who are sympathetic to each other, how does Hou Ye plan to let Hui behave?" ”
"Chunfangyuan has just opened, and I will definitely recruit some singers and dancers who are well-known in the Quyuan industry to enhance the reputation and strength of Quyuan, so I need you two to secretly help me find and pack a few beautiful singers and dancers who are proficient in rhythmic dance, and then send them to Chunfangyuan to become the top brand inside, so as to find out the news that Ben Hou needs, but it should be noted that these celebrities must be able to keep secrets strictly, and they can't know anything to do with Ben Hou at all......"
Chen Xu explained this matter completely and told carefully, although Shi Xuan and Wanwan have no entanglement with officialdom, but both of them are upper-class people after all, Shi Xuan, as a great musician, often goes in and out of the prince's mansion to play music for guests, and Tian Hui is the princess of Qi, the prince and the prince have seen each other for a long time, and they also know a lot of battles and darkness in the court and officialdom.
In recent years, the two of them have been staying in Xianyang, and their identities have naturally risen after being attached to Chen Xu, one manages the women's college, and the other manages the rehearsal of the song and dance program of the Qinghe Theater.
Chen Xu secretly carried out this matter, and he must have wanted to find out some inside stories in the officialdom through Chunfangyuan, which was controlled by Zhao Hai.
"Master Hou, it's not too much of a problem to find a training talent, but we are not familiar with Jiancheng Hou, if we rashly recommend someone to go, I'm afraid it will cause suspicion!" Wanwan said with some concern.
"It's okay, Ben Hou has planned an event, which will inevitably make Jianhou interested enough, you two come over ......"
Shi Xuan and Wanwan hurriedly walked to Chen Xu's side, knelt down and listened to the instructions.
"The matter is so planned, by the Tian girl privately contact some Xianyang famous song garden to recommend their own top brand of famous singers, take advantage of the spring flowers to open an Oiran competition, test musical instruments singing and dancing, etc., invite some often mixed in the music garden of the merry people as guests to select ten Oiran, and finally from these ten Oiran selected one, two or three as the leader, and even in the future can also borrow the form of commercial sponsorship to hold a long-term activity similar to the Keju League, of course, this activity can also invite Chunfangyuan to participate, And the purpose of the dean and the Tian girl is what Ben Hou said, to pack out a few people who can be used by Ben Hou, and when the Oiran Contest is over, Jianhou will inevitably be interested in these Oiran......"
"Master Hou, it's not difficult to do this, but I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money!" After listening to this, Shi Xuan and Wanwan both understood what Chen Xu meant, and they each felt their hearts pounding and their mouths were a little dry.
