The Southwest War came to an end, the "Butterfly Operation" came to a perfect end, and Zhu Shunming's strategic concept was realized.

Train troops, declare military might, expand influence in the court, and snatch spoils...... These goals have been achieved perfectly.

Not only that, Zhu Shunming laid a nail in Yunnan, spread his power, and at the same time gained a larger political stage and was able to enter Wuchang Mansion.

At the end of October, while the temperature was not too cold, Zhu Shunming packed his bags and led the army to victory.

Streamlined the luggage, drove lightly and hurried back to Wugang Prefecture before the cold and ice closed the road.

Two days before the Imperial Decree came, the Intelligence Department sent the latest information.

Under the encirclement and suppression of Zuo Liangyu, Tang Jiuzhou, Cao Bianjiao and other fierce generals, the rogues who wandered through the Central Plains were repeatedly defeated, and had to go around in the mountainous areas of Henan and Shanxi provinces.

When the officers and men were exhausted, Liukou suddenly crossed the Yellow River and went straight to the south to kill, breaking through Wuyang, Xinyang, Nanyang, Xinye, Neixiang and other prefectures and counties, and approaching Huguang.

On the eighth day of December, Zhu Shunming's army returned to Wugang Prefecture.

After several years of governance by Zhu Shunming, Wugang Prefecture has become the most open and economically active town in southwest China.

The dusty army was a little tired, but the evil aura of life and death on his body was not to be underestimated.

Back on their own turf, the tense nerves of the soldiers could finally relax, and the relaxed smile on their faces that had not been seen for a long time was like a snowflake blooming in the cold winter, although it was cold, it finally released goodwill.

"Hooray......

"Long live Boss Zhu......"

The onlookers involuntarily shouted slogans, and the crowd began to get excited.

The gray-haired old man was on crutches and muttered "Good son......

People who had relatives in Zhu Shunming's army eagerly searched for their families.

The sister who is in love is ashamed to answer the hope of the brother's response.

The girl in the flower shop smiled and threw her eyes, "Brother Bing, remember to come to the slave family."

………………

After eating the celebration banquet, Yu Feixing's army rested for a while and immediately drove to Changsha Mansion.

Yu Feixing has been promoted to the commander of the Changsha Guard. After more than half a year of marching and fighting, his soldiers and horses were exhausted and had lost a lot of troops, and they urgently needed to return to the garrison to rest and replenish their troops.

Liu Wenxiu, the 2,000th household now stationed in Changsha, will follow Zhu Shunming to Wuchang Mansion. Zhu Shunming was followed to Wuchang by Zhang Pan's ghost and Shi Xuanwei's 2,000th Sailor Household.

Zhu Shunming stopped in Wugang for a day, and then went to Chengbu Jiu'an Town. It's been a long time since I've seen my family! After the battle in the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, I miss the concern of my family and the tenderness of my lover even more.

………………

The Zhu Mansion has received the news that the army has returned to Wugang Prefecture, and the entire Zhu Mansion has been mobilized to clean up, put up lanterns, bathe and change clothes...... The Zhu Mansion instantly became more energetic and vibrant.

Ruyu, She Miaohua, She Lianrong sisters, and Chen Wanfang were dressed up, greased and powdered, and inlaid with gold and jade; Li Cuiwei phoenix crown Xia curtain, ring with pearl jade, sitting in the middle.

Old Man Zhu is dressed in new clothes and looks several years younger; Zhu Shunming's mother, biological mother, and aunt were all waiting outside the door; The younger sister Zhu Lin'er deliberately tied a peach hairpin and inserted the crested hairpin given by her sister-in-law.

The sound of horses' hooves gradually became clear from far to near. When they reached the pass, they dismounted and led their horses on foot.

Soon, the dusty Zhu Shunming appeared in front of everyone.

"Good, good." Old Man Zhu stepped forward, took a closer look, and applauded.

Li Cuiwei and Zhu Shunming looked at each other, missing, affectionate, and lustful...... Hook people's hearts to shake.

………………

After bathing, taking turns to fight fiercely, Zhu Shunming was completely relaxed and comfortable.

The ruddy on Li Cuiwei's body has not yet receded, and she still feels that her whole person is floating in the sky, and she doesn't want to move a finger.

She leaned lazily in Zhu Shunming's arms, especially relieved and comfortable.

"Xianggong, it's good to have you." Li Cui raised her head slightly and looked at Zhu Shunming, feeling very happy.

Li Cui eased up slightly and began to keep telling Zhu Shunming about the situation after he left.

The fields are abundant, the farms are harvested, and the county seat of Chengbu is becoming more and more lively.

Ruyu's ready-to-wear workshop continued to expand, and she was no longer satisfied with buying fabric, and planned to build her own weaving factory.

She Miaohua doesn't return home all day long, and she pounces on Huayun Group and dances on stage from time to time, is it inappropriate?

Chen Wanfang was taken into the Huayun Opera Club by She Miaohua, and soon fell into it, singing and rehearsing all day long, and gave herself the stage name Yuanyuan.

The little sister is almost thirteen years old, and she is a little excited, so she should find a good family......

Zhu Shunming listened to these trivial things casually, and felt that he really existed in this time and space.

"What? What did you say? Zhu Shunming thought of something incredible.

Li Cuiwei was dissatisfied: "Little sister Chun's heart is moved, you should find her a good mother-in-law as a brother......"

Zhu Shunming rose too fast, and the family around him couldn't keep up with him.

Zhu Lin'er grew up in the countryside of Xixiang County, a typical small family jasper. With Zhu Shunming's current powerful position, it is impossible to find her a small family. But marrying into a big family, can Zhu Lin'er withstand the pressure and cumbersome rules of a big family?

"No, the front...... You say Wan Fang ......"

"Wan Fang?" Li Cui hesitated slightly: "Wan Fang is still young, I'm afraid it's ...... Unbearable ...... of Tartar"

Zhu Shunming smiled and said, "What do you think?" Wan Fang hasn't grown yet, how can I ...... I'm asking, her stage name ......"

"Stage name?" Li Cui said slightly: "Yuanyuan, Chen Yuanyuan, what's wrong?" ”

Chen Yuanyuan? Zhu Shunming was a little distracted. Crying, the six armies were all angry, and Chen Yuanyuan, who was angry, was actually raised by himself in the mansion for Lori cultivation? History has really changed!

"There's nothing wrong with that." Zhu Shunming smiled and said: "Yuanyuan, this name is good, you must be mellow and your life must be complete." ”

"Come, our lives will be complete with one more child......" Zhu Shunming turned over and pressed Li Cui slightly under him.

Li Cui adjusted her position slightly, her eyes were like silk, and she said coquettishly: "Xianggong, the concubine is ready......

………………

"Ming'er, aren't you at home for the New Year?"

Zhu Shunming's biological mother, Liu, was born in a peasant household, spoke with a Shaanxi accent, and was almost illiterate. After following Zhu Shunming south, Liu stayed in Zhu's mansion and could only communicate with a limited number of people, sometimes feeling lonely.

Seeing Zhu Shunming's prodigal son turn back, seeing him get promoted and making a fortune, and watching his son marry a wife and take a concubine, Liu was sincerely happy.

The son is getting busier and busier, the official is getting bigger and bigger, there are more and more wives and concubines, and the Liu family has less and less time to get along with Zhu Shunming.

Sometimes Liu was thinking, if Zhu Shunming was still like Xixiang, just a gentleman young master, and asked him for money from time to time, would he be happier?

"Mother, the imperial court appointed my son as the chief soldier of Huguang, and my son has to go to Wuchang Mansion to take office." Zhu Shunming did not mention that Liukou was approaching Huguang, for fear that Liu would be worried.

"When my son is properly arranged in Wuchang Mansion, our family will go to Wuchang for a reunion, okay?"

Seeing that Liu wanted to speak and stopped, Zhu Shunming said softly: "Mother, in front of my son, what is there to say?" ”

"You married the lord of the county. Do you want to kowtow to her and say hello? Liu asked cautiously.

This question has been pressing on Liu's heart for a long time. Since knowing that Zhu Shunming married the county lord of the Qianguo Mansion in Yunnan, the Liu family was both happy and worried.

Zhu Shunming smiled and said, "Mother, she is your daughter-in-law." How can a mother kowtow to her daughter-in-law? Don't worry, if she doesn't honor you, you will smoke her with big ears. ”
