Zhu Di was still waiting at the dock, and Hou Xian didn't find anything on land, but Zheng He's search at sea hadn't come back yet, so he still had a little hope in his heart. If Zheng He www.biquge.info who writes "Fun" Pavilion can catch someone at sea or bring something back, it can be regarded as a little comfort for himself.

In the evening, the people sent by Zheng He to search for the sea rushed back one after another, but most of them did not have any news. However, the last fleet to come back said that it had sunk a merchant ship suspected of being pirates, but since the two sides were not too close, they did not know exactly who was on board.

At this point, the vigorous round-up operation came to an end, and Zhu Di's only pitiful hope was shattered. The previously unloaded goods were parked in the treasure shipyard, and Hou Xian had been pulled to the palace, and Zhu Di had no need to stay here, so he handed over the finishing things to Zheng He to arrange, and he drove back to the palace by himself.

The wharf has been cleaned of all the ashes with the efforts of laborers and officers and soldiers, and there is no way to salvage the dozens of sunken ships. If it weren't for the fact that the shipwreck would clog the waterway, Zheng He felt that there was no need to do such a thankless task. He had already estimated that for every sunken ship he salvaged, the time, effort and money would be enough to rebuild two warships.

But these wrecks happen to be on the fairway, if they are not salvaged, this wharf will not be able to be used again in the future, and Jianwen's plan this time is not poisonous. If possible, Zheng He hoped that the ships would not have been scuttled, but would have been burned down by the fire, which would have saved him a lot of trouble.

"Alas!"

Sighing lightly, Zheng He could only reluctantly go home to rest first, and he was already tired after a long day's hard work.

In Zheng's mansion, the old housekeeper had already prepared bath water for Zheng He early in the morning, and took a comfortable bath, and Zheng He had no time to eat before he put on his clothes. I saw Tang Ming with two ladies and a little guy, arriving happily.

As soon as he saw the little girl coming, Zheng He swept away the tired look on his face, put on a big and small face, and hugged the little girl from Chen Jialan's hand. The four-month-old child failed to open his mouth to call people, but he could already babble and shout, the strange thing is that the little girl is not afraid of life at all, and seems to enjoy Zheng He's arms very much.

The old housekeeper was just on the side trying to remind Zheng He that the child was afraid not to scare her, but this made the old man smile in surprise.

"Miss Dare is still the closest to the master, but the old slave has heard that the young master just came back, but the young lady didn't even let the young master hug him!" The old housekeeper is the speaker has no intention of listening, Tang Ming was still smiling just now, and his face immediately fell.

The old housekeeper didn't care whether Tang Ming's face was good-looking or ugly, he was still chattering there, Tang Ming, the young master, had now been completely replaced by the little girl in the old housekeeper's heart.

Tonight can be regarded as a family reunion, Zheng He was happy and ordered the old housekeeper to cook a few more dishes, and everyone had a good meal. The old housekeeper went down to arrange it happily, and Tang Ming also escaped from the old housekeeper for this reason, and walked towards the dining room with Zheng He, who was holding the little girl.

Zheng He made the little girl laugh non-stop, and suddenly turned to Tang Ming and asked, "Did the little girl have a name?" ”

Tang Ming had long known that Zheng He would ask this question, and said with a smile: "Not yet!" Isn't this a chance reserved for you, my father-in-law? Originally, I wanted the teacher to give the girl a name, but Uncle Zheng disagreed, saying that he would keep it and wait for you to come back. ”

Zheng He smiled, the old housekeeper is just brainless, isn't it just a name, why be so serious. However, when he heard Tang Ming say that he wanted Yao Guangxiao to name the child, he also felt very good.

"The teacher is a contemporary Confucian, it doesn't matter if he comes to name the child, if there is no proper name, then this girl should always have a milk name, right?"

"Jasmine, the child's milk name is Jasmine!" When Tang Ming answered, his eyes glared at Xiao Ding, it turned out that this milk name was given by Xiao Ding, the girl.

Judging from Tang Ming's expression at the moment, he seemed to be very dissatisfied with this name, but Chen Jialan agreed with Xiao Ding very much, and Tang Ming naturally took Xiao Ding when the minority obeyed the majority.

Zheng He was slightly stunned for a moment, and thought: "What name did you give the child, isn't jasmine just the name of a flower?" ”

However, he thought that as a parent, he was deprived of even the opportunity to give his child a proper name, and he could no longer care about this name. smiled, Zheng He didn't dwell on this matter, called Xiao Jasmine in his mouth, and continued to tease the little girl.

Tang Ming looked at his back, his mouth was open for a long time, and he seemed to have something to talk to Zheng He, but he couldn't open his mouth. Came with the whole family in a hurry tonight, first, to let Zheng He take a look at the little girl, and second, to come, naturally he had something in his heart to talk to Zheng He. But Tang Ming really couldn't open his mouth for a while, so he could only continue to secretly cheer himself up in his heart, looking for the right time.

Zheng He noticed something early in the morning that made Tang Ming feel unspeakable, and Zheng He also secretly guessed in his heart what was going on.

The two of them were guessing each other's thoughts like this, and the meal was also finished in such a strange atmosphere, and when the next person brought the tea, Zheng He got up and said that he was going to take a walk in the garden and let Tang Ming accompany him.

Tang Ming's face was overjoyed, and he thought, "Finally waiting for the opportunity to be alone!" ”

Followed Zheng He to the small garden in the backyard, Tang Ming looked around, and when he saw that no one was here, he seized the opportunity and said, "Father-in-law, the kid has an unspeakable request, and I hope you can agree!" ”

Zheng He still had his back to Tang Ming, looked at the stars in the sky, nodded and said, "Listen to what you have to say, I'll do my best!" ”

Tang Ming couldn't even talk about things, Zheng He didn't dare to be too refreshing, Tang Ming only found out at this time that Zheng He's tone seemed to know that he had something to say. After being stunned for a moment, he no longer hesitated, and said directly: "The kid wants to return the management of the treasure shipyard to his father-in-law. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Ming looked at Zheng He with hooked eyes, even if he couldn't see his face, he wanted to see some of the expressions he expected from his side face.

But Zheng He's expression remained unchanged, his eyes were still looking at the stars in the sky, and he didn't say anything or give Tang Ming any response, just stood silently.

It wasn't until Tang Ming became more and more weak and regretted that he said this sentence that Zheng He suddenly sighed and said, "Lao Wang has told me everything, and the Treasure Shipyard is indeed many times better under your management than when I was here. But I also understand more that you kid didn't put much thought into the treasure shipyard, on the way back, I went to the ancient dynasty country, and Jeju Island naturally went to go again, judging from the changes there, you can easily see your kid's mind, whether you want to slip away!
