Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai, who were active in Huguang Henan, half-pushed and half-talked with Xiong Wencan about the details of being recruited, and Li Zicheng, who was active on the three sides of Shaanxi, was chased and intercepted by Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, and fought fiercely every day. The rest of the small forces either failed in the battle and disappeared, or they took the initiative to appease and accept the appeasement and official positions of the imperial court.

The first assistant ministers of the imperial cabinet are frequently replaced, but recently the most appreciated by Emperor Chongzhen is Yang Sichang, the secretary of the military department, who has been summoned to the cabinet, and what he says is greatly appreciated by Chongzhen, although he is not the first assistant, but he is more trusted than the first assistant. At the same time, the eunuch Gao Qiqian was also favored. As for Lu Xiangsheng, who is known as the pillar of the country and the minister of the country, it is because Ding Wei is filial piety at home, and incidentally, Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian are both the main and faction who advocate peace with the Dongyu Jurchen and appease the anti-thieves and rebels.

There are already rumors in the officialdom of Beizhili that the imperial court sent envoys to contact the Jurchens outside the Guanxi through the Liaoxi Jiangmen who withdrew into the Guan, and have begun to discuss the conditions for peace.

Except for the news that was rumored to be brought back by the caravan of the Lingshan Commercial Bank, the rest were all materials sorted out by Mu Yunyao's three daughters.

It seems that this day is a catastrophe and a rebellion, there is almost no positive news, this year's drought in Shandong is more serious than last year, the number of Li Meng's Tuntian Grange has exceeded 150,000, the harvest that has just come out, only 20% of the income is in the treasury, and the rest is used to settle the new tun people.

However, these two percent were enough for the Jiaozhou battalion for two years, and the government of Tuntian was a great success.

Li Meng's wedding caused a sensation in Shandong, but the reason for the sensation was mainly the guests at the wedding, and the strength that Li Meng showed in the wedding, Li Meng began to appear in front of everyone as a powerful faction in Shandong, as for the other protagonist, it was not so noticeable.

Yan Ruoran belongs to the virtuous woman of the traditional standards of this era, saying that she is traditional means that she has always been very low-key after marriage, and everything is centered on Li Meng, saying that she is virtuous means that Yan Ruoran has completely adapted to the role of this housewife, and managed Li Meng's inner house in an orderly manner.

Although Li Meng's private affairs in the inner house are simple, there are dozens of servants, dozens of subordinates, Jiaozhou City, Fengmeng Town, and several mansions in Lingshan Guard, and the silver money specially allocated to the inner house in the caravan, private salt, and private port every month, and Yan Ruoran needs to handle the personnel and money.

There are not many things that the housekeeper Rosie can share, and he maintains it in those mansions where Li Meng does not live temporarily, and arranges some things in the outer house, but in the affairs of the outer house, the personal soldiers and guards participate a lot.

At the beginning, although Li Meng didn't think that there would be any tricks and contradictions in the inner house, those servants, such as Guo Dong's mother-in-law, said to their husbands in private several times:

"The eldest lady is such a good girl, she has long put her mind on the adult, and those two fairy-like girls, this lady has entered the inner house, what trouble will there be if she can't keep it, how can these three girls have a worry-free role, smart!"

Other people also have similar thoughts, in fact, it is true, Gu Hengbo and Liu Ru have long accepted their fate, what they want to do is to marry a good housewife, so as not to have disasters in the future.

But Mu Yunyao's identity is much more transcendent than them, after all, she is Li Meng's sister-in-law, when Yan Ruoran is not there, Mu Yunyao is vaguely the manager of the inner house, and she feels that she is much stronger than Yan Ruoran.

However, everyone's worries are in vain, Yan Ruoran does not have the beauty of the three girls, she is far inferior to Mu Yunyao in analyzing the situation and politics, and she is far inferior to the professionally trained Gu Liu's second daughter in terms of dressing up, pleasing men, and various talents, but Yan Ruoran has an indifferent and quiet, gentle and atmospheric character, and Li Meng's affection for her as a backing. Yan Ruoran has always been tepid in charge of the inner house, and treats the third daughter the same as her sisters and friends, this kind of demeanor is no longer the third daughter, even if she has fire and careful thinking, she will release it in front of such a bearing.

Not to mention, Mu Yunyao, Gu Hengbo, and Liu Ru are three daughters all grew up in an environment that lacked love, and Yan Ruoran's performance and personality made these three women feel a little dependent in their hearts.

Although Mu Yunyao said that he was born in a noble family, he lost his identity, and after coming to the Li Mansion, he had nothing to rely on. Li Meng's attitude towards her is indeed very kind, but she always wants to go further. No matter how clear and clean Gu Hengbo and Liu Ru are, they are arrogant, after all, they are born in Qin Huai, their posture and demeanor, and their speech skills are all trained to please men. Mu Yunyao is usually very arrogant, so naturally he can't compare.

Seeing these two girls, he immediately had a sense of crisis, but in the following days, Mu Yunyao found that Li Meng was still closer to her, and the relationship between the two people was very close.

Mu Yunyao is faintly in the position of a consultant, the girl who realizes this is a little helpless, but she is also a little complacent, this is her advantage, relying on this words that are constantly close to Li Meng, she will definitely become the second woman to become Li Meng's wife and concubine.

After Li Meng got married, Gu Hengbo and Liu Ru were also aware of their situation, and since Li Meng promised not to give them away, they were raised at home. The life of the two people who used to close the door and don't ask about foreign affairs, entertaining themselves and waiting for disposal must be changed, both of them are in their prime, if they grow old so slowly, they will be too sorry for themselves.

Although Li Meng is not the kind of family talent that Qin Huai women dream of, what she does, treats people and things, and has a kind of manliness, and treats Yan Ruoran, Mu Yunyao, and even herself with a lot of respect, which is even more rare. And he has a high position and a large foundation, so in this way, this Li Meng is a good match for them, and then again, there is no other choice.

Although the two daughters are also Li Meng's people, to put it bluntly, they are only Li Meng's property, and they don't have any name on them, so they must go further to be valuable.

But Li Meng's living conditions, every day outside to inspect the barracks and workshops, supervise the training of soldiers and horses, return to the inner house is to boil up the body, exercise martial arts, check the proclamations sent from everywhere, meet with the envoys of the gentry from all over the country, listen to Mu Yunyao's excerpts and analysis of the Di Bao and Tang Bao and ask questions, and at night is with Yan Ruoran.

There are almost no loopholes in this kind of life, pondering and pondering, the only time period that can get close to Li Meng is the period when Mu Yunyao analyzes the Tang Bao Di Bao. At present, the control scope of the Jiaozhou camp has changed from the original one prefecture to the land of three prefectures, and the scope of the secret is almost all over Shandong.

The news sent by the government through normal channels, the news collected by Hou Shan, the Lingshan Commercial Bank, the information heard by Huang Ping and his subordinate Jianghu secret agents, and what the garrisons everywhere saw and heard, some were oral messages, and some were proclamations, and Mu Yunyao alone couldn't be busy at all.

After Gu Hengbo and Liu Ru discussed privately, they took the initiative to ask Mu Yunyao for help.

I don't know if Mu Yunyao is really arrogant, or if she is really too busy, so she agreed to the request of the two daughters without much thought.

The sudden increase in the amount of information, even with the help of these two girls, did not reduce much, and as a result, even the little maid who was brought by the two girls from Nanjing and knew a little bit of writing was also used, and it was constantly transcribed and summarized every day. In the process of doing this work, Gu Hengbo and Liu Ru are two daughters found that although they were also full of poetry and books, it was very difficult to get started.

The education of these famous women on the Qinhuai River is unimaginable to the common people, even the children of small landlords, but the cultural knowledge they learn is more entertaining than professional, such as poetry and songs, banquet singing, Gu and Liu Ernu don't know how much stronger than Mu Yunyao, but the analysis of the political situation and the expression of official documents, then they don't understand anything.

Mu Yunyao grew up in the palace since he was a child, and his knowledge and experience are much richer, and after coming to Jiaozhou, he has several years of experience accumulation, and he has consulted with old officials such as Ning Qiangui, as if he is a senior general and a think tank, but it is not comparable to Gu Liu and his daughters.

Following Mu Yunyao to sort out these palace newspaper announcements, after a few days, Gu Liu and the two daughters felt that their sense of presence in the Li Mansion had suddenly strengthened a lot, which was different from the previous situation of closing the door and separating everyone, and now it can be regarded as officially integrated into this system, and more importantly, it is true that they have met Li Meng twice, and in this job, there are many more opportunities to contact Li Meng than before.

Because they are studying with Mu Yunyao, Gu Hengbo and Liu Ru have a much better impression of Mu Yunyao, it turns out that they regard the girl as a competitive opponent, but they can do things together, the identity of the other party is faintly the teacher of the two of them, and it is indeed strong, and they found that Mu Yunyao has no bad intentions, if they are jealous, Mu Yunyao will not accept them so easily.

Continuous learning, continuous progress, this is also the life of Gu and Liu, they are busy every day, and they are a little neglected in terms of familiarity and dress, but the two of them feel extremely fulfilling, different from the days on the Qinhuai River in the past, although those days are luxurious, but what they do every day is nothing more than wind and snow, pleasing men, although everyone flatters and flatters, but to put it bluntly, a high-level plaything.

Nowadays, the daily life of each other is different from each other in the past, but everything they do is within a group, creating value for this group, making the two women feel that they are also useful people, and they are also creating value every day.
