Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou have also intersected for some years and know each other very well. The two of them left for a while, Hong Chengchou came all the way to Weihaiwei after a long journey, and when he needed to rest, he suddenly came over, saying that he had nothing to do by himself, and he didn't believe it when he killed Mao Wenlong.

was told what he thought, Hong Chengchou's face was as usual, and he didn't look embarrassed at all. Sitting slowly opposite Mao Wenlong, and then taking a small sip of the wine that Mao Wenlong handed him, Hong Chengchou said with satisfaction: "In Jingshi, the old man has heard that the general soldier is tinkering with something called a steam engine. It is said that this thing is a divine object, which can make the Ming Dynasty take off, the old man is very curious about this thing, I wonder if the general soldier can take it out and take a look? ”

Mao Wenlong's face was full of doubts, and he asked, "Mr. came here just for this matter?" ”

Obviously, Hong Chengchou must have something else in mind. If you just want to see the steam engine, you can call Xin Wei to arrange it. There's no need to come and take you with you.

Hong Chengchou chuckled: "The old man does have some trivial matters that need to be discussed with the general soldier. ”

Mao Wenlong rolled his eyes, with an expression that he knew this earlier: "Sir, please speak." ”

Hong Chengchou hesitated for a while before he spoke: "Presumably, the general soldier didn't leave Weihaiwei so quickly now, right?" ”

Although Mao Wenlong didn't know what Hong Chengchou was going to say to himself? But he still said honestly: "Indeed, from the current point of view, it will be impossible to leave this academy for at least a year and a half. ”

Mentioning this, Mao Wenlong was quite emotional, after all, thinking that he was going to spend a year and a half in this academy, he was still unwilling. Thinking about the vast sea, as well as the beautiful mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty, Mao Wenlong felt that it was a pity not to take a walk around while he was still young!

Hong Chengchou on the other side didn't have so much emotion, on the contrary, he was very happy. smiled at Mao Wenlong and said: "I can't leave for a year and a half, it's very good!" ”

Mao Wenlong frowned, and asked dissatisfiedly, "What does Mr. mean by this?" ”

Hong Chengchou still smiled and said: "The general soldier has always had very little time to reunite with his family, and Chen Lan and my daughter are talking in my ear every day. It's not that the old man was so nagged that he couldn't stand it, so he set out to find the chief soldier to ask for clarification. ”

"Chen Lan, Zi Yan ......" Mao Wenlong became more and more confused the more he listened.

"They all miss you, it's boring to stay in the palace all the time, and the general soldiers can't be by their side......" Hong Chengchou stopped halfway through his words, he had already seen Mao Wenlong's sudden expression.

"Yes, they have suffered all these years, but it's a pity that the Ming Dynasty has not really become strong, and I always have the heart to them out, but I left them out in the cold!" Mao Wenlong recalled Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan, with a face full of longing.

"They hope to be able to move over and live with the general soldiers for some time to comfort their lovesickness." Hong Chengchou told the truth.

"They're coming over,......" Mao Wenlong was stunned.

"Yes, the old man was also tempered by them, so he came to Weihaiwei thousands of miles away. Now it seems that the general soldiers will be inseparable from the academy for a while and a half, and letting them all move in together will kill two birds with one stone! Hong Chengchou said with a smile.

Mao Wenlong pondered for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement. As Hong Chengchou said, it is rare for him to be able to stay in the academy for some time, and it is not a bad thing to have his wife by his side.

That night, Mao Wenlong handed over the matter of picking up Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan to Haoda. Haoda didn't dare to slack off, and after making some preparations, he set off for Nanjing overnight to pick up people.

The news of Xin Wei's apprenticeship spread in the academy, and a few days later, in the morning, under the witness of Mao Wenlong, Xin Wei bowed to Hong Chengchou. After that, Xin Wei was a disciple of Hong Chengchou, the second generation of officials with a strong Miao Hong, and his civilian status will disappear from now on. With Hong Chengchou as a big backer, the position of the dean is as stable as Mount Tai.

Hong Chengchou is also worthy of being the first virtuous minister of the dynasty, and under his guidance, Xin Wei's headaches were solved one by one. With Hong Chengchou's face in everything, no one dares to be sloppy with Xin Wei anymore.

The chaos in the academy was quickly quelled, and after that, the rules were established and implemented. The atmosphere of the College is completely new and on the right track.

Mao Wenlong began to plunge headlong into his steam engine steamship plan, working day and night. It wasn't until Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan arrived at the academy and settled down that Mao Wenlong had to be distracted to accompany them.

Having a wife by his side is naturally another scene, and Mao Wenlong also began to enjoy this rare reunion time. After a month, the drawings of the steam engine ship finally came out, and Mao Wenlong called hundreds of craftsmen to start working day and night, striving to bring out the first steam engine warship as soon as possible.

Because there were two more women living together, Mao Wenlong's small courtyard was obviously not enough, so he moved to a new house. Xin Wei was very knowledgeable, and specially used two hundred craftsmen to work day and night in a quiet place in the academy to build a comfortable small building for Mao Wenlong.

Today is the first day of Mao Wenlong's stay, and he has just stared at the people who have fiddled with the study according to their preferences. Mao Wenlong sat under the big tree in the courtyard before he could take a sip of tea. Then he saw the vast hurried coming.

"Commander!" Hao Da smiled.

"What?" Mao Wenlong glanced at Haoda's smiling face and said casually.

"Lu Xiaowen is back. Wait outside now, does the chief soldier want to meet her? When Hao Da spoke, his eyes always drifted to the small building on the second floor.

"Lu Xiaowen is back......"

Mao Wenlong obviously didn't expect Lu Xiaowen to return to the academy so soon. He pondered for a moment before he said to Hao, "Bring her here." ”

Haoda stood still, and kept gesturing to Mao Wenlong with his eyes in the small building. Mao Wenlong followed his gaze and saw that Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan were drying the quilt there on the balcony of the small building.

Seeing this, Mao Wenlong didn't understand the vast thoughts, just because he was afraid that Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan would misunderstand that he saw Lu Xiaowen's impure thoughts.

No matter how you say it, he, Mao Wenlong, is also the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, how can he be afraid of the inside to such an extent. If such a thing is about to get out, how will he Mao Wenlong lead thousands of troops to fight on the battlefield in the future?

Glaring at Hao Hao viciously, Mao Wenlong said with a gloomy face: "Go and bring people." ”

Obviously, he heard Mao Wenlong's bad tone, and he didn't dare to grind anymore. kindly reminded Mao Wenlong that he didn't get the award, it didn't matter, as if he would still be complained by Mao Wenlong, and Haoda felt very wronged.
