Chapter 268: Homecoming Tragicomedy
After Li Meng returned to Jiaozhou, he was welcomed far more than other places, Li Mengrong was promoted to the general army of Shandong, every Jiaozhou person felt honored, and everyone who lived in the Jiaozhou battalion felt happy, this is completely a collective with both glory and loss.
Jiaozhou Zhizhou Wu Wensong, Jiaozhou Tongzhi Zhou Yang, seeing Li Meng according to the etiquette of officialdom, he already needs to kneel and worship, of course, Li Meng and them don't need to pay attention to this.
The envoy sent by Liu Fulai, the eunuch of Nanjing, arrived in Jiaozhou for a period of time earlier than the Jiaozhou battalion, but the person sent this time was the housekeeper Liu Qian, who was also the confidant of the old eunuch, and after meeting Li Meng, both sides were polite and affectionate. In addition to the letter, Liu Fulai also asked Liu Qian to bring a message, which was generally congratulatory, and the old eunuch was also quite surprised that this "nephew" had become the general of the army guarding a province so quickly, but this surprise was secondary, and Liu Fulai urged Li Meng to have a child as soon as possible.
The letter was completely in the tone of an elder, Liu Fu said that he also has a lot of wealth, Li Meng's side has a huge foundation, but Li Meng's side still has no heirs, not even a person to inherit, such a thriving situation is inevitably a little worried.
The letter also admonished Li Meng, and now he is also a first-class military general in the imperial court, his status is sufficient, and the love of husband and wife is one thing, but it is also a matter of official style and decency to have a concubine around him, Liu Fulai also mentioned that when he left Nanjing that day, didn't he return with two stunning women, how did he hear that Li Meng only had one wife and did not take a concubine.
Seeing this, Li Meng was still a little embarrassed, it is said that the other party is a eunuch, and he should not care about this kind of thing, how could he say it in such detail in the letter.
In fact, what Liu Fulai, the eunuch guarding the town of Nanjing, said was not the privacy of the boudoir, but the so-called male and female ethics, the great gift of the inheritance of future generations, and what he said was indeed the reality, Li Meng's current independent kingdom in Shandong, if there is no heir, the people in the Jiaozhou camp system are worried, in case Li Meng has any accidents, all this will disappear immediately.
However, Li Meng is a modern person's mind, and the pressure is great, so he doesn't think much about this aspect, and most of the people below are young people who have not started a family, and they rarely think of it, most of the people who can think of this are civil officials, and the status is relatively low, on the one hand, and the opportunity for contact is too few.
This time, the eunuch Liu Fulai didn't say this, and Zhou Yang and Ning Qiangui below also took the initiative to make this suggestion, after Li Meng saw this letter, he began to feel embarrassed, and then felt a little funny, but after thinking about it carefully, he really thought that he would do what the things of the times would be in what era, and it seemed that he should also hurry up and have a child.
In fact, Li Meng didn't know that the Yan prefect and his wife in Dongchang Mansion also sent a private letter to their daughter, which first explained that the husband and wife were safe and sound, and secondly, they tactfully criticized it, saying that the two parties had been married for so long, why there was no news of heirs, as a housewife, this was also Yan Ruoran's dereliction of responsibility.
Today's Li Meng can be regarded as glorious and wealthy, the Zhengyin general army of a province is already a number of generals, even if there are people in the center of the court who are not very welcome, Yan Ruoran, who will be the wife of the chief soldier in the future, will be rewarded by the imperial court It is also a sure thing, and advise his daughter to be generous, not to interfere with the closeness of Li Meng and the rest of the women, and take the initiative to buy concubines and maids for Li Meng.
The prefect of Yan began to hate Li Meng, a martial artist, but later his daughter was married by Li Meng's soft and hard work, but with the help of this son-in-law, he rose all the way without any background, and sat on the prefect from Zhizhou.
When the Tartar army broke into Shandong from Linqingzhou this time, the closest distance from Liaocheng was more than 100 miles, and even the dust raised by the brigade of people and horses could be seen at the head of the city.
Fortunately, what happened next was finally a relief, but these reminded this Yan Governor of what Li Meng said in front of him that day:
"In these troubled times, if there are no warriors' swords and guns, where can there be peace and tranquility......"
So far, the impression of his son-in-law has completely changed, and he has also figured out that he is just this one daughter, Li Meng is an orphan, who will support the couple in the future, and it is not dependent on Li Meng and Yan Ruoran's filial piety to support the elderly, no matter how disgusted they are, they are all a family, from this point on, Yan Zhifu began to worry about Li Menglai.
Among the people close to the Jiaozhou camp, Wu Wensong, the governor of Jiaozhou, was not so happy in his heart, he was not angry because of how Li Meng was, but remorseful and blamed himself.
Wu Wensong came to Jiaozhou to be a fellow intellectual, and to the position of Jiaozhou Zhizhou, a large part of it was because Liu Fulai was a master of ceremonies and a eunuch in Beijing, and he was a eunuch in Nanjing to take care of and save face.
Like Zhou Yang's mentality of starting to talk about his peers and finally completely pretending to be his subordinates, Wu Wensong, the governor of Jiaozhou, even looked down on him, because of this mentality, Wu Wensong has always maintained a state of separation from the group of Jiaozhou Battalion, but today, he suddenly found that Li Meng had achieved such wealth all of a sudden, and the people around him were all developed, and it was rumored that Yan Zhifu of Dongchang Mansion might be promoted to Shandong Buzheng Envoy Sizuo to participate in politics, and Jiaozhou Tongzhi Zhou Yang may become the Tongzhi of Laizhou Prefecture.
Such an official promotion is extremely rare for Yan and Zhou, but Wu Wensong can only stand still, and everything comes first, Wu Wensong knows in his heart that even if he goes to take refuge again, his status is not as good as those in front of him.
All this kind of thing, there are always a few joys and a few sorrows, which is also inevitable, but people have to be jealous, and there will always be some problems in the mentality.
After dealing with the exchange of gifts and gifts everywhere, Li Meng returned to the Li family manor in Fengmeng Town, although this side is also operated as a military base, but Li Meng still feels like he is going home when he returns here, and he feels relaxed all over his body.
There are also some tragicomedies in this house, when Yan Ruoran and Mu Yunyao, Gu Hengbo, and Liu Ru came to greet them, Yan Ruoran and Mu Yunyao started laughing, laughing and laughing but crying, in this own mansion, there are no outsiders in the inner hall, and even the subordinates are dismissed, and the female dependents are also let go.
Li Meng was a little at a loss, thinking that it was obviously a happy event for him to go home, why did he suddenly cry, don't look at the battlefield outside, even if it is a life and death fight, Li Meng can deal with it calmly, but at this time, there is no way.
Crying is nothing, after crying for a while, Yan Ruoran actually hugged Li Meng tightly, and Mu Yunyao also grabbed one arm, crying even more, looking like she was afraid that Li Meng would leave.
After the Jinan Military Conference, in order to keep it secret, although the documents of his cronies were used to record, he still used different people to record the separate scenes, and tried to disrupt them as much as possible. Some of the summary things were completed by Li Meng's tent with the army, and there were many fallacies in the words and phrases.
These scattered and messy texts must be sorted out by someone, and such a core confidential booklet can be sorted out with confidence, and there must be corresponding capabilities, and it must be sorted out as soon as possible and distributed to various generals.
Institutions that meet the requirements of this standard, thinking about it, are only the women of the Jiaozhou Battalion, the highest level and the most secretive Li Mengnei Mansion.
Because the matter is important and urgent, Yan Ruoran, who has always been in charge of housework and does not care about this paperwork, also participated, and this "Jinan Military Discussion Minutes Booklet" recorded in detail all kinds of discussions in the military meeting, major policies and tactics, and even matters that need to be paid attention to in hand-to-hand combat on the battlefield.
The most direct example of hand-to-hand combat on this battlefield is the battle that Li Meng personally experienced, how the infantry and cavalry fought with cold weapons.
Li Meng's women were immediately frightened when they saw such a vivid written record, although these women of Li Meng were in the inner house, they could have their ears and eyes and their well-informed, you must know that Lingshan Commercial Bank and Huang Ping's spies also had to report the situation to them, but life and death outside, no matter how bloody the incident was, it was just some written records, and it felt that it had nothing to do with them, and it was very far away.
But this time, I found that the people closest to me were also in such a bloody killing every day, and there was also a danger of declaration at any time, it turned out that Yan Ruoran and Mu Yunyao were just reluctant to leave and the sorrow caused by their thoughts when Li Meng was far away, but now they became frightened and afraid of Li Meng's safety.
As soon as Li Meng came back, the tension of the women's fears for several months suddenly relaxed, and it was inevitable that there would be such a gaffe.
However, Gu Hengbo and Liu Ru were quite embarrassed on the side, their relationship with Li Meng was not as deep as Yan Ruoran and Mu Yunyao, and Gu Liu's two daughters were also proud people, although they knew that they would have to rely on Li Meng in their future lives, they couldn't pretend to be affectionate. In fact, Li Meng admired them for such a performance in his heart, which was naturally better than pretentiousness.
At the family banquet that followed, Mu Yunyao was a little surprised to find that Li Meng's attitude towards her was much closer, and this kind of closeness was different from that of normal days, Gu Liu's second daughter also felt that Li Meng was a little more relaxed.
The change in Li Meng's attitude is due to those letters, and furthermore, after returning from the bloody battle, he walked around on the edge of life and death, and his mentality was indeed different......
