Chapter 178: Zhao Miaohui is an official

Guan Sheng's face turned red, he squeezed Cheng Yue's hand hard, and whispered, "No, that's not good." Biting his lip, he leaned into his ear and said, "You asked my sister to help me make the piano again, do you think I'm too slow?" ”

Cheng Yue gently squeezed her little hand and said with a smile: "At a young age, how can you think so much." Dao Gao finished the six-stringed piano, always have to find something for her to do, the production of the piano is very complicated, it takes a lot of people to cooperate, one more person to help you can get twice the result with half the effort, do you want to eat your sister's vinegar? Do you want to hear piano music soon? I'm going to forget about it for a long time. ”

Guan Sheng blinked and said, "What's the name of that piano song?" Are you done? ”

Cheng Yue showed a very mysterious smile and said: "It's called "Dedicated to Guansheng", you don't know how beautiful this song is, this is the dowry I gave you, it is the most valuable dowry in the world." ”

Guan Sheng's cheeks were red, he looked at Cheng Yue with affection, suddenly raised his chin again, pouted and said, "But what about the song you promised my sister?" ”

Cheng Yue looked at Guan Gao and smiled: "If you have a birthday next month, I will definitely sing it to you." ”

Guan Gao is an honest girl, she nodded with a red face, the corners of her mouth rose, full of anticipation.

Guan Sheng said again: "I want to make the keys now, but there is no suitable material, think about it, ivory is the best, and I am afraid that others will say that it is too luxurious, what can I do?" ”

Cheng Yue said without hesitation: "Ivory is ivory, this is the first piano since there was a man, we must do it well." I'm afraid I've stored a lot of this thing in the palace for so many years, and it's not much use to put it there anyway, so I'll ask for some for you tomorrow. ”

Guan Sheng jumped for joy. The troubles that had been bothering her for a long time were finally resolved. Otherwise, she will have to try a lot of materials, and she doesn't know if she can find the right one.

Send the Guan sisters home. Only Cheng Yue and Zhao Miaohui were left walking one after the other.

Zhao Miaohui was silent for a long time, hesitated, and said: "Governor Dadu, Xianggong brought a letter to the concubine today, saying that the doctor sent by the Governor has arrived in Shanghai, and he has also examined his body. Xianggong was indeed ill, and the doctor advised him to recuperate, but Xianggong refused. The letter reproached the concubine, saying that their brother was about to do something in Shanghai, in order to wash away the shame of defecting to the enemy before, and not let the concubine have many troubles. The concubine came today, and she was going to thank the Metropolitan Governor for taking care of the Xianggong, the concubine is really talkative, and the Metropolitan Governor should not be surprised. ”

Cheng Yue paced forward a few steps with his hands behind his back, sighed, and turned around: "It's not surprising that you have this idea. You can't stop it. This is related to the reputation of his Meng family, and it is more important than his life. Don't say it's you. In other words, I can't stop it. If I had ordered him to come back, he might have gotten sicker. Let him be, you write a letter to him to take good care of his body, keep a useful body and do more things for the Meng family, at least think more about your mother and son, Chun'er can't live without a father. Don't work too hard, leave it to my subordinates, I have a lot to do in the future, and the time to rely on him is still to come. Don't worry too much, he's not too young, he naturally knows the severity, and no one will take their lives seriously. ”

Zhao Miaohui's beautiful eyes were full of tears and she nodded helplessly.

Cheng Yue gave her a relieved smile, thought about it, and said, "I see that you are bored at home every day, do you want to come out and do something for me?" ”

Zhao Miaohui was stunned for a moment and said, "Does the metropolitan governor still want to be a concubine as an official?" The concubine is outside, and the concubine is not good to show her head. ”

Cheng Yue still didn't give up, and said: "You do things in the office every day, you don't have to run around, and you will like it very much." ”

Zhao Miaohui asked curiously, "I don't know what the hell is going on?" ”

Cheng Yue said: "In a few days, my printing workshop will open, and every day I will publish newspapers, as well as magazines and books, which are not only for men, but also for women." When women have culture and understand reason, they can better teach their children well, and they will no longer be looked down upon by men, so I plan to open a special page in the newspaper and write something for women to read. This matter is of great significance, I don't think men can do it well, without your help, this special edition can't be pushed out, so it can only be postponed. ”

Zhao Miaohui's eyes flashed, and she asked again: "The Metropolitan Governor has so many ladies, and her talents are far better than those of concubines, why don't you let them do it?" ”

Cheng Yue shook his head and said, "You don't have to be too humble. If you want to say that the ability is not inferior to yours, I only have Dingniang and Su Rong. Dingniang is now my personal secretary, and she is so busy every day that her feet don't touch the ground, and even Jin'er and Yu'er are also very busy. Su Rong's Industrial and Commercial Bank of China is the top priority, and she lacks skills. My other wives each have their own jobs and are very busy. What's more, although they have different abilities, they are still not as good as you, and there are times when I can't do what I want to do without you. It's the same with this matter, I ordered Yang Ting to take care of everything, but he is too busy, with a genius like him, one person can be used for twenty people, and he can only sleep for three hours a day, if he is tired and sick, how can I bear it? Where to find a Yang Ting? Alas, although I have a lot of talent, there are so many things to do that I don't always have enough manpower. Although many talents have been recruited during this time, it is easy to obtain thousands of troops, and it is difficult to find one. ”

Zhao Miaohui was stunned for a while, and only after a long time did she bite her lips lightly, and said painfully: "As long as you don't delay the concubine to take care of Chun'er, the concubine should serve the governor of the capital." ”

Cheng Yue was overjoyed, he had long been optimistic about Zhao Miaohui's talent, and he had successfully brought this mermaid closer. couldn't help but look at Zhao Miaohui happily and said, "Don't worry, there will be a carriage to pick you up from the bookstore every day, and there will be a special office for you in the bookstore." I'll take care of all the things in the bookstore, and you just have to do it. Tomorrow I will give you some of my own ideas about the bookstore and the manuscript of the book to be published, you are so intelligent that you will understand what I mean at a glance. Your official title is Manager of Chung Hwa Bookstore and you are directly accountable to me. If anyone dares to make trouble, you don't have to be polite, Yang Ting will send someone to obey orders in the bookstore, understand? ”

Zhao Miaohui nodded, she didn't know why she agreed to Cheng Yue to come out to work for him, she never dreamed that she was really an official as a woman, and she was also an official directly subordinate to Cheng Yue. How big is this officer? She doesn't know and doesn't care. But she understands that as long as Cheng Yue is still there, no one can touch her and Chun'er. In this way, he can be regarded as the confidant of the Grand Governor, right? There is such a big change in my life. But what will it become?

Sending Zhao Miaohui home, Cheng Yue was in a particularly good mood. In the evening, it was Su Rong's turn to wait for the concubines to sleep, Ye Qian'er felt Cheng Yue's special enthusiasm, and asked while asking for mercy: "Official, what happy event can't you do?" ”

Cheng Yue smiled: "I'm going to see the boat tomorrow, this is a big deal, I won't be back until a few days, you have to take good care of your home, don't be naughty." ”

Su Rong said: "Official, do you want to bring someone to wait?" Wan'er and Gillian have been helping Mrs. these days, and they can get out. If that's not enough, bring a few more singers. ”

Cheng Yue smiled: "I just go out for a few days, do I have to take a woman?" What do people think of me? No way. ”

Yun Luo said: "Be careful on the road, bring Xiao Zhen and Ma Fu, and it's best to bring it again." ”

Cheng Yue laughed, kissed Yun Luo heavily, and said, "Are you so weak that I can't help it?" In the tens of thousands of yuan army, I can still single-handedly kill a round trip, but I have to be so trembling when I go to my own place? If you want to attack me, you have to weigh the weight, especially the weight of your own head! ”

All the concubines looked at him stupidly, they liked to see Cheng Yue's arrogant appearance the most, but the more calm the process, and rarely showed as sharp as just now.

Cheng Yue hugged Hu Xiuxiu again and said with a smile: "Xiuxiu, let Xianggong enjoy it first, so as not to miss you." ”

Hu Xiuxiu buried her head in Cheng Yue's arms, although she would not say some sweet words to Cheng Yue, her attachment to Cheng Yue was no less than others.

Cheng Yue fought with them for a long time, and he was reluctant to give up. Recently, he has had many beautiful women enjoying it every night, and suddenly he can't take all of them with him, which is really uncomfortable. It seems that he is living too comfortably, and he should sharpen it.

When he woke up in the morning, Cheng Yue pulled them to his side one by one and killed them back, and then Su Rong and Ye Qian'er waited and dressed. Alas, the beauty body, the hero mound, honestly.

After breakfast, Cheng Yue went into the study and wrote a letter to the palace, asking the palace for twenty ivory tusks to make a piano, and the piano was made for the purpose of educating the emperor, so it was justified. After writing and sealing it, he ordered someone to send it to the palace.

As soon as Cheng Yue walked out of the study, a servant woman came to report that Zhang Xuan, Zhu Qing and others had arrived and were waiting outside.

Cheng Yue went out of the inner house to join them, took Xiao Zhen, Ma Fu and two hundred guards, all the way, and rushed to Jiangyin the next night, and Li Shixiu and Wang Zhi welcomed them into the mansion.

After a night's rest, Cheng Yue and his party rushed to the shipyard in good spirits to see the sea ship that had kept Cheng Yue worried.

As soon as they entered the shipyard, Zhang Xuan and the others were startled. Before their eyes appeared a large, pointy ship that they had never seen before. There are more than 100 steps before and after, and there are more than 3 zhang high, like a hill. What's even stranger is its appearance, it turns out to be pointy! Wouldn't such a boat tip over in the water? Can it be steady?

The Southern Song Dynasty had developed water transportation and was able to build a large ship of three or four thousand materials, and although Cheng Yue's first sea ship was not so large, it also had more than two thousand materials. Unlike the ships of the time, this is a sea ship with a pointed bottom. This kind of ship will not capsize when it encounters relatively large winds and waves at sea, but flat-bottomed boats will not work, and people at that time did not understand this very well, so in history, Kublai Khan twice conquered Japan but was wiped out by wind and waves twice.
