As soon as he wrote three lines, a personal soldier reported: "Mr. Su Tongfu asks to see General Zhao." ”

"Su Tongfu?" Han Ningshuang frowned slightly, "Is that the weirdo who calls himself the 'Three Victors'?" ”

There was a hint of displeasure in her tone. This self-proclaimed "three gains in life", how did he not die in the prison of the Criminal Department. Although this kind of celebrity has no quarrel with the world, they are all characters in the whirlpool. It's good to die, but to disturb at this time, I don't know what kind of trouble it will bring. Unconsciously, Han Ningshuang already had some dislike for trouble, and even secretly hoped that on such a wild and hopeful island, he would live a dull life.

"Su Tongfu went to prison for a case of moonshine last year, Deng Shouyi asked Chen Shaoyang for pardon and saved him, but unfortunately, it was hopeless. In any case, this person is a famous person, especially good at economic and financial management, and this sudden visit is probably something. Zhao Xingde put down the brush and explained, Han Ningshuang pursed her lips, but there was some sweetness in her heart.

"Since that's the case," she helped Zhao Xingde put on a square scarf, looked at it again, and said with a smile: "Please go and come back quickly." ”

Seeing his figure leave, Han Ningshuang instructed his soldiers: "Go and invite Doctor Luo to come over." ”

It didn't take long for an old man in his fifties to arrive. Luo Qingbai was an old man in the Han army, and his loyalty was impeccable. The old man was pale, put down the medicine box first when he came in, and asked after saluting: "The eldest lady has passed on the old decay, but she is a little unwell?" ”

"I've been a little unwell lately," Han Ningshuang said vaguely, putting Hao's wrist on the rosewood table, "Please ask Luo Lao to take a pulse for Ningshuang and see what prescription should be prescribed to regulate it." Her tone was calm, but her cheeks were hot. Counting the days, the menstrual event should have come a few days earlier. Could it be...... Her expression was a little complicated, a trace of panic appeared in her eyes, and she looked at Lao Langzhong with some expectation.

"Yes." Luo Qingbai lowered his head and put three fingers on the wrist of the frost and snow.

The so-called "looking, smelling, asking, and cutting", Han Ningshuang is a young woman, and she is majestic and self-respecting, "looking" and "smelling" are not very convenient for her, and she only gets a vague answer when she asks. Luo Qingbai didn't dare to be careless at all, three fingers like a bow, first fingertips always press the pulse, after a while, only to feel that the pulse is like a slide bead rolling, he was slightly startled, did not dare to raise his head, slightly raised the middle finger and ring finger, felt the inch pulse, and then lifted the index finger and put down the middle finger, felt the pulse, and then put down the three fingers again, Luo Qingbai was secretly frightened, he looked up again, his face was red like a peach blossom, and it was similar to the guess in his heart.

"Luo Lao, is there anything wrong?"

"This," Luo Qingbai asked after careful consideration, "has the eldest lady been sleepy and weak lately, or has she been nausea and vomiting?" ”

Asking this, Han Ningshuang hesitated for a moment, bit her lip and nodded, and said a soft "um".

The subordinates of the Han army on the marshal's ship are either the generals of the Han family for several generations, or her personal confidants. Han Ningshuang recruited Zhao Xingde as her son-in-law, and everyone only knew that no one would say the girl's thoughts to her face. Encountering this incident, Han Ningshuang's mood was similar to that of ordinary women. It was as if the most secret thing had suddenly been made public, which made her happy and ashamed.

"Congratulations to the eldest lady," Luo Xianshi sat down and said with a smile: "This is Ximai." The old man will prescribe a prescription for the recuperation of the fetus, some medicines are not available on the ship, and the eldest lady will send someone to the shore to get it. Luo Qingbai, who has practiced medicine all his life, has seen such symptoms and demeanor. While admonishing the big and small taboos, he took out the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone from the medicine box.

Han Ningshuang looked at Lang Zhongbi in a daze, the prescription was opened, and her mind was still blank.

............

After Zhao Xingde returned to the naval camp from the Han army's ship, he sent a flag officer to invite Su Tongfu to come and meet. Although Su Tongfu is quite famous, he has mixed reviews in Confucianism, and there is still a gap between him and Huangzhoushan and Lu Fuxiu. Zhao Xingdegui is the Marquis of Wuchang, the general of the left guard and the governor of the water division, and he is a relative of the emperor, and it is not bad to receive famous people, if he personally greets him at the door of the big tent and makes a polite corporal appearance, it is a little inappropriate.

In the tent of the big camp, Zhao Xingde looked around, and realized that he hadn't sat here for a long time. He was secretly frightened, but shook his head with a wry smile. Outside the tent, the command of the firecracker training queue was shouted loudly. Even though the sailors practiced for nearly four hours a day, they were still better than the dark days below deck. The sailors' salaries were much higher than those of the forbidden soldiers, but unfortunately this was Quanzhou, Zhangzhou, or any of the towns and villages on the mainland.

Su Tongfu followed the flag officer for more than two miles, and what he saw along the way, he only felt that this island was like a huge school field. Soldiers lined up and drilled could be seen everywhere on the flat beach, and the formation was no less strict than that of the forbidden army in the southeast battalion. From time to time, you can see small boats rowing on the sea, and the sailors on the boat are paddling hard, just like a dragon boat race during a big review. In the sea near the shore, Su Tongfu suddenly saw a human head disappearing in the waves, and he couldn't help but open his mouth wide in surprise. There were at least five or six hundred people soaking in the seawater, and this was much more than the money that was salvaged during the dragon boat race.

"This is the Sword and Shield Team practicing swimming." Flag officer Zhou Lun kindly explained.

Before joining the army, Zhou Lun was a Confucian scholar who cultivated and studied, and the poorer his family was, the more he admired Su Tongfu, the "Three Victors". Only those who have experienced a life of poverty and embarrassment can truly understand the importance of Su Tongfu's proclamation of "talent, money, and longevity". Su Tongfu's article encouraged this poor scholar in Huangzhou to put down Sven and grit his teeth and apply for the Sailor School. Due to fate, Zhou Lun didn't expect that he would be able to stand in front of Su Tongfu one day, and his mood was very different.

However, Su Tongfu himself had no way to know about all this, and he only felt the kindness released by this young man.

"General Zhao is well versed in the way of commanding troops, the more the merrier, and the words of people are comparable to the ancient Han Xin." Su Tongfu smiled and said, "When I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation." The formation of the naval division was only ten months old, and it was not only strict in its banner, but also able to make the soldiers go to the soup and fight the fire. In the garrison armies of all walks of life, it is also one of the few elite divisions. His praise was in response to the herald's kindness. Unexpectedly, Zhou Lun's face changed slightly, and he thought of other places after reading the history books.

"General Zhao is loyal and courageous, and he can learn from every day." Zhou Lun said in a deep voice, "I rule the world with courtesy. The heavens and the earth are big, but the etiquette is not as big. Mr. Zhao stands up in the way of a gentleman, even if someone tells right and wrong, the court should also summon the Qingliu gentry as a witness, return General Zhao to a clean house, and bring those who slander Qingliu to justice. Without real evidence, no one can do the things of the bell room and harm Zhongliang, only a poisonous woman like Lu Pheasant who plots to usurp the throne can do it. Mr. Su, what do you think? ”

Su Tongfu was stunned for a moment, a low-level officer actually talked in front of him, which surprised him more than hundreds of people floating and sinking in the sea. Although he has no official status and is not arrogant, he is one of the world's famous men after all. Even in the prison of the Criminal Department, the prisoners are divided into three, six, nine and so on, and characters like him and Jin Sugu are respectful and respectful until they go to the guillotine. This subtle psychological distinction between high and low is not so easy to break through. Su Tongfu just regarded Zhou Lun as a coarse writer and ink person, and he spoke casually. As everyone knows, in the morning and evening lectures of the sailors, the officers argue about the difference in morality and righteousness, and the debate is very fierce. It is common for the head to fight with the commander to be red-faced, and even slap the table and stare at him. This is a unique tradition that has gradually developed among the officers of the Naval Division.

"The Marquis of Wuchang has turned the tide several times, and His Majesty has given him a marriage," Su Tongfu nodded, "Loyalty is naturally unquestionable." ”

"That's what Mr. Su said." Zhou Lun stretched out his hand and said, "In front of you is the White Tiger Hall of the Governor's Tent." ”

"Thank you." Su Tongfu bowed his hand politely. The so-called cloud from the dragon, the wind from the tiger. The performance of a herald officer had already made him look sideways, and he was also looking forward to the meeting with Zhao Xingde. He stepped into the tent, only to see a person sitting behind the first bookcase, with a gentle and elegant demeanor, not wearing a military uniform, a square scarf like a Confucian scholar, and only a feather fan in his hand, as if it was the image of Zhou Yu on the stage. At this time, Zhao Xingde had already stood up and bowed his hand and said, "Aren't you happy to have friends from afar?" ”

Su Tongfu also bowed his hand, and the two sat down, and when the soldiers served tea, the two greeted each other for a while before turning to the topic.

"Liuqiu is a wild land, Zhao has just pacified the island and Haikou, I don't know what happened to Mr. Su?"

"Su lived in Zhangzhou before, and he just came from Jia Zhizhou and Ye Zhushu." Su Tongfu observed Zhao Xingde's expression and explained, "However, Zhao Hou doesn't have to worry, Su is not a lobbyist for Zhangzhou, but from the South China Sea Securities and Yangzhou Zhengxintang." Su Tongfu lifted the teacup and took a sip of hot tea, only to feel that his mouth was full of fragrance, and praised, "Good tea, Zhao Houguo is an elegant person." As everyone knows, Zhao Xingde knows that he pays attention to these, so he specially entertains him with good tea cakes, and if it is usual, he only makes some simple fried green tea.

"What happened in Yangzhou?" Zhao Xingde repeated playfully, looking at Su Tongfu, "I don't know what Mr. Sunde has to say?" ”

"Su deeply admires the matter of Nanhai stocks and Zhengxintang." Su Tongfu put down the teacup and said: "Don't hide it from Zhao Hou, just a few months ago, Su was recommended by Lord Deng, and he had the honor to meet Chen Xianggong in front of him, and stated in front of him that this 'gathering sand into a tower, gathering armpits into a fur' way of financial management, but unfortunately Chen Xianggong failed to adopt it." Su was a little disheartened, but he didn't expect that Zhao Hou's various measures in Yangzhou had a lot of secret coincidences with Su's ideas. ”
