Chapter 36: The Backyard
Chapter 36: The Backyard
The world is big, and the rules are the biggest. In addition to semi-industrial workshops and increasingly sharp firearms, Zhu Chongjiu's greatest contribution to Huaiyang is the rules. Because the rules are respected here, the officials above and below Huaiyang do not dare to abuse the power in their hands. Because the rules are respected here, compared with other places, the people of Huaiyang have a little more sense of security in their hearts, and they have a little more confidence in their gestures. Also because of the respect for the rules here, Zhao Junyong, Peng Da and others dared to have the courage not to obey Sesame Li's last orders, and made things difficult for Zhu Chongjiu, the commander of the Eastern Route Army. Because they knew in their hearts that as long as they didn't use the force in their hands, Zhu Chongjiu, who obeyed the rules, would not use the Huai'an army. As long as it is within the scope of the rules, no matter how they toss, it is safe, even if it is to hook up with Bianliang.
At that time, under the influence of their parents, the teenagers felt that Zhu Chongjiu was deceitful. After witnessing the chaos on Bianliang's side, everyone suddenly realized that the rules were a double-edged sword. When it can't protect ordinary people, it can't protect a dignitary. There is no end to the road to Qingyun, when you enjoy the pleasure of power and crush others wantonly, sooner or later, you will be crushed into powder by higher power.
The education of facts is always the most vivid. When Peng Da and the others found out that they could die from the internal fire at any time, they suddenly discovered that Zhu Chongjiu's "broadness" meant to everyone? That's why they showed their cheeks and sent their respective sons and nephews back without hesitation. Because they finally understand that only in a place where everyone is well-behaved, these teenagers are the safest and most likely to get ahead.
The room became quiet in an instant, and almost all the teenagers put away the twists and turns in their hearts and nodded their heads. Zhu Chongjiu himself, on the contrary, was a little unaccustomed to this, knocked on the table, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, today is a family banquet, let's not talk about this." After a while, when you have eaten and drunk enough, you can go to Brigade Commander Xu and say something. Whether I want to go to the lecture hall so that my son can inherit his father's business in the future, or I want to do something else, I try to arrange it..."
"Uncle Eighty-One, little nephew, little nephew wants to go to school, please Uncle Eighty-one..."
"My little nephew wants to go to a hundred technical schools..."
"The little nephew is weak and wants to go to Huaiyang to be an apprentice."
"Little Nephew"
Other teenagers have interfaced.
This result greatly surprised Zhu Chongjiu. He originally saw Zhang Hongliang's keen eyes and wanted to keep him by his side as a staff officer, so he specially gave everyone the right to choose. I thought that the ambitions of the teenagers were the same as their parents, and they were heroes on the battlefield. But I never thought that more than half of the children and teenagers were unwilling to be with the sword anymore.
"Don't worry, everyone can follow their own thoughts..."Looking at the surrounding faces that were not much younger than themselves, but full of immature faces, Zhu Chongjiu responded with a smile. The voice was not loud, but it was faintly drunk. "It's never too late to make a decision after thinking it through. As long as it's your own choice, I will respect it. Didn't I fight to the death with your fathers just so that you could have more choices? ”
It turns out that my own existence is not meaningless... At least at this moment, Zhu Chongjiu proudly found that his arrival had brought a lot of influence to this time and space. Even if he finally has to make a compromise with reality, even if he becomes an emperor one day. The new empire will eventually be completely different from the Ming Empire in another time and space.
With a little expectation, he staggered with the teenagers and drank a hearty drink. By the time the guests took their own initiative to leave, it was already dark. Xu Hongsan sent a carriage to send Peng Zaozhu and others back to the post house. Then he personally helped Zhu Chongjiu into another carriage, and returned to the governor's mansion all the way carefully and vigilantly.
A string of lanterns has long been hung at the entrance of the house to light the way home for those who return late. The flower path is also lined with strings of lanterns, and the warm orange light dances in the candle glass cover. Lu Shuang'er took a few dowries and took over her husband from Xu Hongsan at the second gate. Then he helped him all the way back to the bedroom, waiting for Zhu Chongjiu to wash his face, rinse his mouth, and drink the sobering soup. Then he sat down on the edge of the bed, took off his boots and socks, and gently soaked his feet in a basin of warm water.
A soft warmth slowly surged up from the soles of his feet, Zhu Chongjiu's consciousness quickly recovered, lowered his head, and gently picked up Lu Shuang'er's fingers, "I'll just come by myself, I've been running all day, it's dirty and smelly."
"Husband, the sisters are all watching..."Lu Shuang'er struggled a few times but didn't break free, blushing and disgusted.
"Sisters?" Zhu Chongjiu quickly turned his head, only to realize that the situation tonight was a little abnormal. The concubines, who had rarely entered their couple's bedroom for the past two years, actually stood beside the bed one by one. Everyone wore only a thin layer, and the spring light on their chests was infinite
"Madam, take a rest first, let us wait for the master to wash his feet..."The reaction speed of the drunk person decreased significantly, and before he could give the order to evict the guest, the eight concubines had already squatted down in a panic, holding down his calves and feet one after another. Don't move, sir, the water is a little hot. The heat can relieve the fatigue..."
"Master, the concubine has learned a little medical skills!"
"Master, water, if you move again, the water will spill..."
"Master, you just give the concubine a chance to serve you, please..."
The so-called gossip is nothing more than that. Zhu Chongjiu was sweating from the noise, turned his head sideways, and looked at his wife like a helper. Unexpectedly, Lu Shuang'er, who was originally obedient to him, suddenly changed his temperament today. Immediately stood up in a panic and turned his body behind his back. Stretched out his palm, pressed it his shoulder, kneading it, and said in a gnat-like voice, "The ancients said that there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is greater. Youyun does not marry and has no children, and the ancestors worship the ancestors, which is unfilial. The concubine is not a jealous person, and she has been married for several years, but she has been favored by the husband but has never come out of anything"
"Stop, stop, stop..." Zhu Chongjiu heard this, and there were more beads of sweat on his forehead. Stuff women in your husband's house, and stuff them with eight? … This kind of happiness, even if Lord Wei was back then, he probably couldn't afford to enjoy it, right? Moreover, although he and the other eight women bowed their heads every day and didn't look up, they were only limited to saying hello to each other in the way of this time and space. How could it be possible to suddenly go to bed just to have children?
"Master, we are all yours for a long time. Please have mercy on you..."Lu Shuang'er's words were forcibly stopped by him, but several other women said it delicately. It's obviously prepared in advance, and everyone's rhetoric is different. Sentence after sentence, like a tongue twister for later generations.
"The lord is merciful, although the concubine is of the quality of the willow"
"The concubine has been in the house for two years, and she has never had a second glance from the master. The concubine asked herself if she was not an ugly daughter, and she treated her sister with great respect."
"Willing to be a February flower, scattered spring breeze"
"The lord is a big hero in the eyes of the concubine, the concubine, the concubine"
"Stop, stop..."Zhu Chongjiu broke off in a low voice, no matter how beautiful his behavior was. Eight women took the initiative to throw themselves into their arms, surrounded by fat and thin, each with its own merits. It was when the bloodline was at its strongest, and to say that he had no reaction to the eight bewitching women was pure self-deception. But because of his physical impulse, he will knock down other women in front of his original partner, but it far exceeds the bottom limit of his moral approval.
This is not to say how high he is, but to integrate Zhu Dapeng's soul at the same time, he also integrates some thoughts and feelings of modern people. After all, the extra 660 years of evolution time is enough for a man to realize that he is different from a breeding pig in this long time.
"The husband's love for the concubine's body, the concubine's body and heart are clear. But the concubine can't cut off the heirs of the Zhu family because of her husband's favor. Otherwise, after tonight, the concubine can only find a green lantern ancient temple and chant all day long to atone for her sins..."Led by Lu Shuang'er, the women in the house actually began to disobey the order.
"As soon as we entered the door of the Zhu family, we were born as the Zhu family and died as the ghost of the Zhu family. If he can't give birth to half of the heirs for his lord, he won't be able to raise his head when he goes to see his late in-laws..."
"Master, what mistake did the concubine make that made the master always unpretentious?"
"Master"
"Excuse me, stop... I order, shut up all of you..."slapped hard on the armrest of the chair, and suddenly, Zhu Chongjiu's body was full of domineering energy. "Stop, stop, I'll sweep you all out of the house."
"Sir?" The concubines had never seen him so angry, and they were so frightened that they covered their mouths with their hands and burst into tears.
"And you..."Zhu Chongjiu grabbed Lu Shuang'er's arm with his hand, with a slight force, picked her up and gently placed her in front of his knee, "It's okay to do it, don't think nonsense." Since I have married you"
"Husband" Lu Shuang'er raised a tearful eye, and the pear blossoms brought rain. "What happened tonight is all the idea of the concubine alone, and it has nothing to do with the sisters."
"You're going to do it, aren't you?" Zhu Chongjiu's chest seemed to be punched heavily, and it instantly hurt his heart.
Tonight's incident must be Lu Shuang'er's mastermind. Except for this elf and eccentric woman, the other concubines couldn't think of it at all, and they didn't have the courage to make such a big scene. Everything she did was for him, and they all echoed the virtuous standards of this time and space. It's just, just not thinking about herself.
Zhu Chongjiu has his own fears, and he does not want to be completely erased by this world from all the marks of another time and space, and he is the same as the light. But Lu Shuang'er and the other women are natives of this world, and their words and deeds are destined to be influenced and restricted by this world. While keeping himself, he is not in a position to make them pay the same price.
"And you guys, what's the fool about?" Taking a breath lightly, looking at the women in front of him who were so frightened that they didn't even have the courage to cry loudly, Zhu Chongjiu's tone gradually slowed down, "Since I married the nine of you, I naturally can't deny it." But you have to take your time. You need time, and I need time myself. I need time, slowly, slowly to get used to it."
As he spoke, he felt that his head was as big as a bucket, raised his hand, and rubbed his temples vigorously, "Don't worry, don't worry." It's only been a few years. There is still a long time ahead..."
