Although Ji Qingwen was proud in his heart, he couldn't completely lose face to Shen Liangzuo, and pretended to reprimand those dock workers a few words.

Ji Qingwen is the benefactor of these workers, and naturally no one dares to refute it face-to-face when he speaks. These workers had to bow their heads, bend down, nod and apologize.

After scolding a few words painlessly, Ji Qingwen turned his head and said to Shen Liangzuo again: "Father-in-law Shen, you can't blame these guys for this matter. It's just that the ground of my dock is small, and I really can't accommodate all the 2,000 men and horses of my father-in-law...... It's better to ask the father-in-law to order fifty elite soldiers to escort him, and the rest of the men and horses will camp outside the cofferdam to guard the entrance and exit to prevent the small people from breaking through and making trouble. ”

Ji Qingwen's proposal can be regarded as polite and courteous, so that although Shen Liangzuo feels that something is not quite right, he can't continue to argue - after all, about half a month ago, when Ji Qingwen went to Nanjing to meet him, he only ordered two hundred elite soldiers to escort him.

So Shen Liangzuo personally ordered elite soldiers, and ordered Chengyi to lead the rest of the men and horses to camp outside the cofferdam.

After the arrangements were made, Shen Liangzuo was just about to beckon Ji Qingwen to lead him into the dock, but he heard a sound of compact and neat footsteps behind him, and hurriedly turned around to look behind him, but saw that it was the "Ming Wu Army" under Ji Qingwen who had already arrived, and there were more than 1,000 of them, obviously the whole army had arrived.

The "Ming Wu Army" played and performed in Beijing and Nanjing, the two capitals of the Ming Dynasty, one south and one north, and Shen Liangzuo saw it with his own eyes.

With such insight, Shen Liangzuo felt the terrifying pressure from the extremely tight formation of the army opposite, and the first thought in his heart turned out to be - what is this kid Ji Qingwen doing? Why did you pull so many people over, don't you want to fight with me?

In fact, in the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect in Nanjing City, Shen Liangzuo played a cautious eye and did not participate in the later encirclement and interception of the main force of the White Lotus Sect, so the loss of the two thousand Beijing battalions under his command was not very large, and he still maintained a rather strong combat effectiveness until now.

But although his sergeants were twice as large as Ji Qingwen's "Ming Wu Army", they were no match for the latter—the power of those muskets alone was terrifying enough, not to mention the extremely sharp swords in his hand.

But Ji Qingwen had no need or willingness to act with Shen Liangzuo on the edge of the dock at all, and seeing Shen Liangzuo's nervous expression, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Father-in-law Shen, what's wrong with you?" When my 'Ming Wu Army' was first formed, it was used to guard the docks and protect trade routes, and now it is normal and reasonable to appear here! ”

After that, Ji Qingwen gave an order, and asked Yang Zhan, Huang Degong, Meng Hong and others to lead the whole army to enter the dock through the cofferdam gap, and he made a "please" gesture to Shen Liangzuo and walked straight to the dock.

Shen Liangzuo hurriedly followed, and finally came to the dock of Dianshan Port in Songjiang Prefecture from the entrance of the cofferdam that had blocked him for two whole days.

But as soon as Shen Liangzuo arrived at the dock, he shouted that he was fooled - it turned out that this Dianshan Port wharf was not only not as cramped as Ji Qingwen said, but actually very spacious, not to mention his own 2,000 soldiers of the Beijing Division, even if he came another 2,000 or 4,000, he could be stationed very comfortably - he only waited for fifty people to come in, but he really ate a closed door soup handed by Ji Qingwen.

However, now that Shen Liangzuo has come in, naturally he can't regret it anymore, so he can only follow Ji Qingwen all the way.

Although Shen Liangzuo is a celebrant and a eunuch, he can be regarded as a successful person among eunuchs, but he was only a poor boy in Henan before he became a eunuch, and he has been staying in the capital since he was purified, and his knowledge is really limited.

Therefore, when he saw this Western scenery on Dianshan Wharf, there was nothing that he didn't think was strange, and there was nothing that he didn't find particularly interesting, so he opened his mouth to ask about the situation of Dianshan Port.

When Liu Ru came to the port for the first time a few days ago, she also showed the same curiosity.

But today, Ji Qingwen faced an old eunuch like Shen Liangzuo, but he had no interest and patience to satisfy his curiosity, and only repeated one sentence over and over again: "Why should Gonggong Shen be in a hurry?" You are the commander of the city, and you are in charge of this wharf, and there will be time and opportunity to understand in the future. ”

All the way to the high-rise building built in the middle of the wharf, Ji Qingwen pointed upstairs and said to Shen Liangzuo: "Father-in-law Shen, this is where I usually work, if my father-in-law doesn't dislike it, I will clean up all my things, and my father-in-law will be able to live here and do errands from tomorrow." ”

Of course, Shen Liangzuo will not dislike it.

Although his status in the palace is high, in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, he is still just a high-level slave, and the place where he usually lives and does things in the palace of the Forbidden City is just a small room the size of a palm next to the toilet.

Therefore, when Shen Liangzuo heard Ji Qingwen's arrangement, he immediately smiled happily, and climbed the tall building in three steps and two steps.

On the contrary, Li Yan was unhappy, pulled Ji Qingwen's sleeve, and said, "Brother Ji, you gave Xiaolou to Shen Liangzuo, why don't you discuss this matter with me?" ”

It turned out that Ji Qingwen had entrusted the management of the wharf to Li Yan before, and it was said that Li Yan lived and worked in this high-rise building for far more time than Ji Qingwen.

Li Yan is the No. 1 confidant and friend that Ji Qingwen made after crossing over, and Ji Qingwen knew his thoughts clearly, so he smiled and said with relief: "This is all a trivial matter, Brother Li might as well go back to Suzhou to live in the weaving yamen." My eldest wife, Liu Ru, had long heard that Brother Li's wife was also a well-informed lady, and she wanted to make friends with her. ”

Li Yan became angry at the bookseller and said: "Brother Ji, I think I just went to Suzhou to live temporarily, and I still have to live in this high-rise building in a few days." ”

This is a prophecy and a foreshadowing, but now no one would have imagined that this sentence would be fulfilled so quickly.

So it took a day's work, Ji Qingwen, Li Yan and others packed up their salutes, and divided the "Ming Wu Army" into two parts - one with 500 people continued to be stationed at the Dianshan Wharf, and the other with 500 people escorted Ji Qingwen and others back to Suzhou.

This time, Ji Qingwen left Suzhou for Nanjing, and there was quite a lot of movement again, Song Yingxing, Ge Sheng and others set up a banquet for him as usual, and drank for a long time, and then they went home.

Ji Qingwen lives in the weaving yamen in Suzhou, and has been cleaned up by Liu Ru and a few hired servants such as Xing'er and Xiaoduozi, and is waiting for Ji Qingwen to come back.

Ji Qingwen was very happy to see that such a virtuous wife had been added to his family, so he ordered a table of light side dishes in the garden in the backyard of the weaving yamen, and only drank and admired the moon with a few close friends.

At that time, it is the time when the spring flowers are blooming, a round of crescent moon hangs high in the sky, the warm wind blows, the wine is slightly drunk, and the ripples are intoxicating and the limbs are comfortable.

Although Ji Qingwen is not proficient in literature, he can listen to Li Yan, Liu Rushi and others fighting with each other, and they are also very happy to interject a few words in the others, eating, drinking, talking and laughing until midnight, and then they disperse.

Liu Ru is peerless, Ji Qingwen naturally can't destroy the heavens, and he doesn't go back to his own house to live, but directly wants to live in Liu Ruyi's boudoir.

The little concubine Xing'er didn't know how many days she hadn't been close to Ji Qingwen, and when she saw that Ji Qingwen was going to live with Liu Ru again, she felt a sense of jealousy in her heart, and suddenly gained courage, stopped in front of Ji Qingwen, and asked, "Young master, are you going to live with Sister Liu again today?" ”

Ji Qingwen replied truthfully: "Yes, what's wrong?" ”

Xing'er didn't answer, playing with the clothes belt, but her face was already red.

Ji Qingwen finally guessed Xing'er's mind, and thought: It seems that sometimes there are too many wives, and it is also a difficult thing to do, just the words "rain and dew are evenly wet" are not only a physical work, but also a mental work!

After thinking about it, Ji Qingwen didn't want to snub Xing'er, and he was reluctant to let Liu Ru be so, so he suddenly had a plan and said, "Xing'er, I'll go to live with my eldest wife, and you can also go there to live." The three of us happen to have a 'two tigers and one dragon'. It's a pity that there are still too few people, otherwise we can stage a good show of 'Three Heroes vs. Lu Bu' before the Tiger Prison Pass! ”

As he spoke, Ji Qingwen took the hand of Xing'er, who was flushed, and dragged him to Liu Ruye's door......
