Speaking of whether there will be danger in this expedition, Tang Ming really has no bottom in his heart at the moment, although he knows that there will be no danger in Zhu Di's expedition to Tatar this time in history, but history has deviated from the original trajectory, and no one knows if the thief will look at him unpleasantly.

Worried but didn't dare to show even the slightest flaw, Tang Ming carefully suppressed the panic in his heart, and didn't dare to let the two ladies see through it.

The hall was very quiet, although the three of them sat together, they were thinking about their own thoughts, and the atmosphere in the living room was suddenly a little quiet, even Xiao Ding, who had always been very active, did not make a sound, only took her big dark eyes, and looked at Tang Ming's slightly heroic face with affection, as if she wanted to engrave this face in her mind without leaving any dead ends.

The thin figure of the old butler appeared outside the door at some point, he did not enter the door, but stood there quietly, and there were already crystal tears in the old eyes. It was not easy for the Zheng Mansion to usher in a rare liveliness, but at this moment, the young master was going to go on the expedition again.

The old man Zheng He has already gone to sea, and now the young master Tang Ming is going to go on the expedition again, and the old housekeeper is very reluctant but helpless.

"Alas!"

In the end, the old butler seemed to be unable to stand the strange atmosphere in the living room, stared at the door for a moment, sighed softly, and left on his own. From beginning to end, he didn't disturb the three people in the house, and the helpless figure walked in the corridor, the old housekeeper secretly wiped away the tears that swam away, and barely pretended to be a smile, he had to prepare a salute for the young master, which was the only thing he could do for the young master now.

Chen Jialan is a wife, even if there is a lot of reluctance in her heart at this time, she can't show it, and the wife of the hostess of the Tang family, Hou Ye, has to be the same. Tinker can be sad and can vent the emotions in her heart willfully, but Chen Jialan can't.

Taking a deep breath and trying to pretend to be smiling, Chen Jialan broke the eerily quiet atmosphere in the living room, and said with a smile: "Xianggong, how long do you estimate the length of your expedition this time, what preparations do you need to make, tell Jialan that this is ready for you." ”

Tang Ming suddenly reached out and hugged Chen Jialan's slender waist, touched her slightly bulging belly again, and then helped her to get up, grabbed Xiao Ding and walked outside the house. The old butler had already seen it outside the door just now, and it was estimated that this would already be prepared for him.

Under the supervision of the old butler, a few nimble old mothers wiped their armor diligently. Seeing that there were people in the house, Chen Jialan broke away from Tang Ming's arms with a slightly red face, pulled Xiao Ding, who was reluctant to leave Xianggong's chest, and entered the house to choose the clothes he needed to carry.

Chen Jialan opened the camphor wood box containing clothes, and a large box full of clothes suddenly became dumbfounded and didn't know which ones to choose. After some hesitation and a whispered discussion with Tinker, they simply asked them to bring the whole box of clothes.

Tang Ming shook his head amusedly and said, "Two ladies, Xianggong, I am going to fight and not to play, these clothes are simple enough to wear, and if you bring too much, it will become a burden." It is said that this expedition will not take too long, and it is estimated that the prime minister will be able to follow the emperor back in about half a year, the Ming Dynasty has just pacified the civil strife, the national strength is still empty, and the war will not last long. ”

Tang Ming's explanation could not make the two ladies change their original intentions, Xiao Ding even pouted and opened his mouth and said: "We women don't understand the things of war, we have to listen to each other, but only we women understand the big and small things in life, and we have the final say on what clothes to bring." ”

Xiao Ding's crooked reasoning made Tang Ming speechless, and shook his head with a wry smile, and he could only let them go.

Jialan and Tinker's performance today was much beyond Tang Ming's expectations, at first he was worried about how to comfort them, but now it seems that he is worrying. Chen Jialan, who usually looks soft and weak, shows rare strength at the moment.

did not cry before he set out on the expedition, the demeanor of the hostess of the family was undoubtedly displayed, and the responsibility that should have been left was not left at all. The times create heroes, and women are the same, they should do what they should do in whatever position, Chen Jialan, who was single and had a family to rely on, is no longer there, and Chen Jialan has become a hostess with responsibility and assertiveness.

The belongings he carried with him were taken care of by Steward Lao and the two ladies, and Tang Ming didn't have to worry about it anymore. But in addition to bringing Zhu Yong on this expedition, how many personal soldiers should I bring with me? Speaking of this pro-soldier, Tang Ming was also very embarrassed.

When it was all counted, there were only ten people in this Zheng Mansion who followed him from Jeju Island. But only bringing ten pro-soldiers not only looks shabby and unsecure, if Chen Jialan learns about it, he will definitely not agree.

Tang Ming quietly mentioned this matter to the old housekeeper, and the old housekeeper patted his chest and said that this matter was on him. Although Tang Ming was very puzzled about where the old housekeeper got his confidence, he had no other way but to resign himself to his fate and let Uncle Zheng arrange it.

However, before Tang Ming left, this treasure shipyard had to find someone to manage and guard it on his behalf, and Li Ba was originally the best target. It's a pity that he is about to go to sea and can't stay at the treasure shipyard, so only the prince is the most suitable person left.

When Tang Ming found the prince and mentioned this matter to him, this guy hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

"Brother Tang needs to take care of his body on this expedition, and on the day of his victorious return to the court, the brother will set up a banquet for hospitality. As for Brother Tang of the Treasure Shipyard, don't worry, when you come back, you will definitely return it completely, and you will definitely not let it have any mistakes. Zhu Gaochi's face was straight, and he swore to Tang Ming.

"With the words of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I can rest assured that I can boldly fight the Tartars, and I believe that you can protect the safety of the treasure shipyard in your hands. However, there is one more thing I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will agree to. Tang Ming hugged his fists and bowed down, looking very solemn.

"But it doesn't hurt to say, as long as I can."

"As soon as I leave, there will be only your two sisters-in-law left at home, I hope that when I am not there, you will help take care of them more, so as not to let them be bullied by others."

Zhu Gaochi understood that this was what Tang Ming really wanted to help himself, and replied with a serious face: "I will definitely protect them." ”

No matter how much he said, it might be perfunctory, and Zhu Gaochi's simple answer made Tang Ming see that he did not mean to be perfunctory.

Tang Ming is naturally most concerned about Chen Jialan and Xiao Ding, and there are only these two women left in the house when he leaves. There is no one here in Nanjing who can reassure them to protect them, and they are left alone to tell Tang Ming how to rest assured.

Zhu Gaochi, as the crown prince and his own brother, entrusted them to the prince and asked him to help take care of them, which was also a helpless move. But it was the most feasible method, and Tang Ming couldn't think of anyone else who could have this ability besides him.

When bidding farewell to Zhu Gaochi, Tang Ming complied with the emperor's request and handed over the dispatch talisman of the three thousand imperial forest army to the prince. (To be continued.) )
