Wang Mang and Wang Jingyan practiced hard in the new house, and before they knew it, it was already evening.

It wasn't until the maidservant summoned dinner that the two went out.

Xue Fengyi saw that the two of them were grinding their ears and temples when they came, laughing and laughing, and couldn't help but smile secretly. swallowed all the words that he wanted to blame, and wondered when he would be able to hold his little grandson and good granddaughter.

Wang Yuanhai was the same, seeing that his daughter seemed to be in a very good mood, he didn't bother to say that Wang Mang didn't come out to improve etiquette at noon.

From the beginning of the four-day advance to the Wang family, and now that his daughter has married Wang Mang, he has completely let go of his burden.

Everything was done smoothly, and the daughter did not have any bad opinions, but the husband and wife were loving and harmonious.

Wang Mang and the two hurriedly had dinner, and hurriedly returned to the new house, as if they were going to do something big.

Wang Yuanhai and Xue Fengyi were both happy and helpless about this. They all thought that they were young, and after eating the forbidden fruit, they were out of control.

When the two arrived in the room, Wang Jingyan still taught Wang Mang to recognize and practice calligraphy, and there was quite a posture of cultivating Wang Mang into a champion.

They were tireless, and they practiced until it was close to the early hours of the morning. Take a wash, hug each other and sleep, and perfect the gift of Zhou Gong.

The next morning, hundreds of birds chirped in unison.

Wang Mang woke up slowly, looked at the window, and saw the sun shining, it seemed that it was about nine o'clock, shook Wang Jingyan, who had not yet woken up, and said with a smile: "Jingyan, if I remember correctly, it seems that this son is going to give morning tea to his father-in-law and mother, right?" ”

Wang Jingyan wiped her eyelids, was sober, and exclaimed: "Oh, there is such a thing. According to the rules, it should be done at the end of seven o'clock and the beginning of eight o'clock. I'm afraid it's going to be nine o'clock, right? We've got to get over there. ”

After speaking, he hurriedly got up from Wang Mang's arms.

But then he frowned, he was powerless, and he was a little sore and sore. couldn't help baring his teeth, patted Wang Mang a few times, and said hurriedly: "It's all your fault, I had to toss around like that last night." So now I have missed the time for such an important event as the tea ceremony, and I am afraid that my father will not blame me. ”

Wang Mang saw that her brows were furrowed, just because of this, he felt pity in his heart, and said softly: "Jingyan, you seem to be a little unwell, or you don't get up, I'll do it for you." ”

"Nonsense, where can this kind of thing be replaced? You're genuinely making fun of me. Wang Jingyan cautiously got up and dressed.

Wang Mang wanted to dissuade him, but when he saw Wang Jingyan's posture, he followed her and picked up his clothes from the side to put them on.

Wang Jingyan stopped, blushed and said, "Wait, the first time I changed my clothes after getting married, I should be asked to serve you, this is my wife's duty." Otherwise, it will be unlucky, which is not good. ”

Wang Jingyan is a new wife, although she is still a little sleepy at the moment, she has a special charm. The pretty face is rippling in spring, like a peach blossom in spring.

Wang Mang saw that her face was full of shame and anger, and he looked at her in a daze for a while. Regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, he hugged her tightly, smelled the fragrance lightly, and refused to let go for a long time.

Wang Jingyan saw that Wang Mang was obsessed with himself, and his mind was hot, and he didn't care about changing clothes, let alone what tea was or not. Let Wang Mang hug himself, enjoy this sweetness, think back to the beautiful scenery last night, and plan to make a mistake to the end.

More than half an hour passed, Wang Mang let go of his hand, and said with a smile: "It's a matter for you to dress yourself this time, let alone for me?" Good luck is fake, as long as we are good, it is true. ”

Wang Jingyan was speechless and muttered, "Why didn't those maids come to wake up in the morning?" Why didn't my mother come to arraignment? If this thing gets out, I'm afraid it won't look good. ”

"How did they come?" Wang Mang replied: "Don't talk about the maid and mother, even the sister-in-law is not good to come in and disturb it." ”

The two of them hurriedly put on their clothes, washed up, and hurried towards the hall.

When I came to the hall, I saw Xue Fengyi sitting in a precarious position, pondering slightly, and I didn't know what I was thinking about.

That Wang Yuanhai half-squinted his eyes, tasted tea carefully, and his face was slightly dignified.

As for Shangguan Ningxuan, she was doing nothing, fiddling with some strange things and looking at the gift list on the table.

Now that the three of them saw Wang Mang and Wang Jingyan both coming, they looked at each other and didn't speak.

Seeing this posture, Wang Jingyan felt worried, tiptoed to pick up the teacup, bowed to Xue Fengyi, and said embarrassedly: "Mother, my daughter-in-law is sleepy, I missed the time to serve tea, and I ask my mother to punish her." ”

Xue Fengyi took the tea, took a look, and saw that Wang Jingyan's eyebrows were filled with spring, and her heart was immediately clear, she helped her up, and said with a smile: "There is only one life in life." Now that you've forgotten the hour, it's not a big deal, you don't have to mind. ”

"Thank you for your understanding!" Wang Jingyan replied.

Wang Mang didn't dare to be ambiguous, he also picked up the teacup, came to Wang Yuanhai, bowed down and explained: "Father-in-law, last night I pulled Jingyan to teach me to read and write, until the early hours of the morning. That's why I slept this morning, and I asked my father-in-law not to blame Jingyan. ”

"Oh? How could that be? ”

Xue Fengyi loves Wang Jingyan, and she can ignore any mistakes, as long as she and Wang Mang have a good relationship. But Wang Yuanhai is different, he pays more attention to some special rules, especially the morning tea of the newlywed elders, which must not be ignored.

Now that he heard the explanation, his face looked a little better, and he smiled: "Even if that's the case, that's understandable." Virtuous son-in-law, I'll hand over Jingyan to you now, and you can take care of me for my life. Of course, if she behaves disrespectfully, you can also punish her. ”

"Back to my father-in-law, my son-in-law will take care of Jingyan as a good student, keep her from suffering, and be happy all her life." Wang Mang replied.

"That's great!"

Wang Yuanhai nodded and continued to instruct: "Although my sister-in-law and I don't care about some red tape, you are different. In particular, you will be an official in the future, so you have some rules and etiquette that you need to pay attention to. If my sister-in-law and I don't say anything, it doesn't mean that others won't say anything, otherwise you won't have a good life in the future. ”

After speaking, he pulled Wang Jingyan to him and said, "Jingyan, now that you have also married into the Wang family, I won't say anything." There's just one thing you have to keep in mind. ”

Wang Jingyan hurriedly said: "Father, please say, my daughter listens to the teachings." ”

Wang Yuanhai said: "From now on, you need to abide by the way of women, follow the four virtues, and do not make mistakes." Otherwise, even if my sister-in-law protects you, I can't protect you. Since Wang Mang has become your husband, you can raise children for him, don't lose your virginity and morality, and don't act rashly. ”

"Yes, father, the daughter remembers her father's teachings." Wang Jingyan replied.

After a while, the matter passed.

Thinking of the Huo family, Wang Yuanhai asked Wang Mang: "Virtuous son-in-law, yesterday the Huo family sent us a secret gift, three thousand gold and silver, and six shuns. There are also many colored satin antique jade and so on, what do you think about this matter? ”

"Oh? They gave such a generous gift? ”

Wang Mang's eyes lit up, and he sat aside and pondered.

After a long time, a fine light flashed across his eyes, as if he had made up some kind of idea, and said in a deep voice: "Father-in-law, this matter is easy to handle." The Huo family suspects that we have something to do with Tianyang Valley, and they will definitely secretly investigate the reason, and they should soon find out about this matter.

If they find out that we have nothing to do with Tianyang Valley, they will definitely reunite with the other three families to make trouble, otherwise they will not have any overt and secret rituals.

In this way, they still don't want to completely turn their faces with the Sun family and other families. I just want to be left and right, stabilize the situation, and slowly encroach. Now they are sending such a generous gift, but it is wonderful.

Their gifts, along with the gifts of other major families, we will take half of each to serve as the foundation of the family. The rest is all given to the Wang family, and it can be regarded as repaying their favors. Then you can ask the patriarch to go to the Sun family with the Huo family's gift list, inform Yixin, and stir up the relationship. After a few days, we set off for Yuzhou.

The land of Yuzhou will be Dongyi, rich in resources, and the first uncle has hundreds of thousands of iron cavalry heavy soldiers. We take it as the foundation of our existence, and we can operate it as a country, and we can live in peace. Even if the Huo family is angry, we can't help it even if they come all the way.

In a few years, the court will definitely change, and the major families will also stir up disputes. We operate with peace of mind in Yuzhou, unite with Dongyi, and slowly try to encroach on the whole state, and do not participate in any family fights. When the east wind rises, the male army will be killed, first unify the entire Yuzhou, and then occupy Liaoning, Jilin and other places to expand the territory, so that it will have the ability to win the world.

A few days ago, I paid special attention to other family patterns. It was found that except for Zhuzhou, those major families occupied one of the remaining Kyushu, and almost each claimed the king, as the foundation of the country. ”

As he spoke, he picked up the brocade silk and pen, and the dragon flew and the phoenix danced on the paper and drew it.

At a glance, it turned out to be the entire landform of the entire 56 provinces of China in later generations, together with Fusang, Korea, Liuli, Fusang and other places painted one by one.

He practiced hard yesterday, and now on that rough map, he also marked all the major states and counties, pointed to the map and said: "I see it, at most five or six years, the Han family will be completely ended, without any real power." Those who are in power will also be difficult to turn over, and the heroes will be completely slaughtered. But those families are short-sighted, and they don't know the size of the world and the depth of the pattern.

After we occupy Liaoning, Jilin and other places to stabilize our foundation, we can lead our troops south, march along the wild land, wave our troops to Jiangnan and Guangnan, form a peripheral encirclement, trap the Central Plains, and if necessary, we can also unite with the Nanban. If the general trend rises, we can attack, retreat and defend, even if we completely set the world, we can't ....."

Wang Yuanhai is a person who has been fighting on the battlefield for a long time, he saw Wang Mang painting the landform, not to mention the land of Kyushu, even Dongyi, Xirong, Nanman, and Beidi are on it, divided in detail, and greatly shocked.

Then I heard Wang Mang's loud talk, and I was even more excited, and combined with the direction marked on the map, I thought that this matter was very feasible.

"Son-in-law, you know the landscape so well? Well versed in battle layout? Wang Yuanhai exclaimed: "Between you, who is expected to be the real champion today?" ”

Wang Mang was stunned, combined with the memories of later generations, and replied contemplatively: "Father-in-law, the Han family is not popular with the people, and the forced labor is heavy, and collapse is inevitable. However, since the Han Gaozu, after the rule of Jingwen, Emperor Wu's majesty, filial piety and prosperity. After the heroes competed for hegemony, the people were struggling to make a living, and they would definitely miss the prosperity of the Han Dynasty, so the people's hearts would definitely return to the Han Dynasty.

In this way, as long as there is a descendant of the outstanding royal family Liu at that time, the people of the world will definitely respond. Therefore, my opinion is that many families and magnates are now useless and will be reshuffled. Only the heroes who will emerge in the future pattern can be regarded as the true heroes of the time, people and people. It is expected to sweep away all the princes and reunify the world. ”
