Chu Mei was really tired.

After four consecutive days of non-stop visits and inspections, what she saw and heard brought her an incomparably huge shock, coupled with the ups and downs of emotional entanglements, Chu Mei was overwhelmed, and finally fell asleep in Zhu Daolin's arms with sad tears.

When Chu Mei opened her eyes again, she was shocked to find that she had returned to the familiar and warm boudoir of the Heshan Villa, not under the thousand-year-old camphor at the southern foot of Moon Mountain in Yingzhou.

Such a huge contrast made Chu Mei dizzy, as if she had a bizarre dream, which made her difficult to accept for a while.

"Awake? Let's start with a glass of water. ”

Zhu Daolin, who was wearing jeans and a black lapel shirt, came in with a glass of warm water, sat on the edge of the bed, and smiled at Chu Mei quite guiltily.

Chu Mei, who was in a trance, hurriedly lifted the thin quilt and got up, took a few sips of the water cup and drank it, and suddenly pounced on Zhu Daolin, hugged his neck tightly, and was excited: "Didn't you promise to accompany me to Jinling on a sea boat?" Why are we suddenly back here? ”

Zhu Daolin took the cup from Chu Mei's hand and put it aside, lovingly took Chu Mei into his arms, forcibly endured the rising possessiveness, and explained gently:

"The trip to Jinling will take at least half a month to arrange, so we have to come back and choose a trip abroad or some other excuse to prevaricate, so that your family and my parents can rest assured."

Chu Mei, who was wearing very little, didn't feel that Zhu Daolin's younger brother was shamefully stiff, and the full and firm double peaks were close to Zhu Daolin's chest, and her arms were as white as mutton fat, and her smooth arms tightly hugged Zhu Daolin's neck: "So, I'm not dreaming?" Can I really take that kind of galleon with four tall masts to Jinling? ”

Zhu Daolin sighed faintly, picked Chu Mei up and asked her to stand up: "Everything is as you wish!" I went to wash and change clothes first, and then accompanied me to the office of Zhejiang Silk Company to find Aunt Gao to place an order, and then I had to go to the building materials market to buy 3. 000 tons of cement and 1,800 tons of steel, and then discuss how to talk to the family. ”

Chu Mei nodded in a daze, let go of her hand and walked straight to the bathroom.

Twenty minutes later, Chu Mei had returned to normal, and followed Zhu Daolin to drive to the silk company's office in the city center. Dumbfounded, Zhu Daolin had a little negotiation with Aunt Gao and the two business managers who had been waiting for a long time, and easily signed a huge order worth 120 million yuan, and then the two sides drove to the bank to handle the advance payment transfer procedures of 50 million yuan.

The huge contract for the delivery of 100,000 pieces of silk and 3,000 silk scarves and velvet cloaks within four months officially came into effect.

Zhu Daolin quietly told Chu Mei that this was the last time to buy finished silk products and take them to Daming for sale, and after speaking, regardless of whether Chu Mei could digest it or not, he drove to a large logistics and warehousing company in the southern suburbs with Aunt Gao and the two managers, and came to the warehouse that he had leased for half a year. Take out two large-size keys and hand them to Aunt Gao, and ask her to store the satin and silk scarves delivered in installments directly, and someone will come to check and confirm them together.

After saying goodbye to Aunt Gao and others with smiles on their faces, Zhu Daolin took Chu Mei to the building materials market on the outskirts of the city, bought 3,000 tons of high-grade cement and 1,800 tons of three types of construction steel in one go, and went to the bank to transfer money after setting the delivery time and place with the two business owners.

In the evening, Zhu Daolin and Chu Mei returned to Heshan Villa with two boxes of gold jewelry and artificial gemstone jewelry worth more than 30 million yuan. Moved to the study on the second floor and put it away, and immediately drove back to his parents' house for dinner. Lying to his parents and planning to travel abroad for more than half a month, he immediately received strong support from his parents, and happily asked to take Chu Mei's parents and family over when he came back from the trip, and then get a marriage certificate to hold a wedding.

In the next three days, Chu Mei, who was extremely looking forward to it but full of sorrow, ran between her parents' house, the company and the Heshan Villa, calling her parents and family thousands of miles away from time to time. He also hid from Zhu Daolin twice, and quietly drove into the city to buy gifts and various supplies to prepare for the upcoming trip to Jinling in the Ming Dynasty.

……

……

In the sixth year of Chongzhen, June 21, in the early morning. Zhu Daolin and Chu Mei returned to the silent warehouse on the north bank of the Tamsui River again.

When Chu Mei woke up from her slumber, the clouds in the sky had been dyed golden by the rising morning sun, and despite a magical experience, Chu Mei still didn't know how she got here.

After recalling it carefully, Chu Mei still couldn't figure out how she could fall asleep before the end of last night, and she was unconsciously brought here by the hateful man beside her.

Zhu Daolin, who was smiling with a smile on his face, pointed to the two rows of sturdy wooden boxes neatly stacked on the inside of the B-shaped warehouse: "These are all complete sets of measuring instruments, military telescopes, geological compasses, sextants, compasses and other military supplies purchased two days ago, and gold jewelry and artificial gemstone jewelry worth more than 30 million yuan are placed in two of the large boxes. ”

"The six containers placed against the wall in the innermost part were brought over by me a few times before, and inside are thousands of flintlock pistols and several sets of old-fashioned machine tools that Duan Deming helped me get, because the steam engine has not yet been delivered, and there are not so many skilled craftsmen, so they have always been here."

"You should be very familiar with the two rows of boxes stacked against the wall on the left, which contain more than 35,000 valuable books that you and Liang Cheng have collected and printed for me in the past six months, and will be moved there after the library in Hot Spring Town is built."

Chu Mei, who was in a complicated mood, stood up slowly and was silent, until she was taken out of the warehouse gate by Zhu Daolin, she came back to her senses, and watched Zhu Daolin lock the heavy and thick warehouse door blankly, and followed Zhu Daolin through the yard full of steel and cement, and then eagerly asked Zhu Daolin how he did it?

Zhu Daolin smiled but didn't answer, raised his left hand, shook the black gold steel ring on his wrist, and then hugged Chu Mei's thin waist, strode towards the courtyard gate, and let Chu Mei hold his left arm, staring at the ordinary gold steel ring.

After breakfast, dozens of civil and military officials from Yingzhou gathered in the conference room of the camp on the north bank, and Chu Mei, who was sitting behind Zhu Daolin, became the focus of attention of more than 60 civil and military officials.

Thinking of Zhu Daolin's comprehensive inspection of the two military and political departments of Yingzhou and the major factories, counties and towns a few days ago, many people are keenly aware that Chu Mei, who came from Tianshu Pavilion, is likely to settle in Yingzhou and become the main mother of hundreds of thousands of Yingzhou soldiers and civilians.

Chu Mei's eyes were drawn by the admiral Simeno and the others who met for the first time.

What attracted Chu Mei was not the appearance and temperament of Simeno and others, but the neat and beautiful military uniforms on their bodies, these specially made military uniforms of generals and colonels were all the products of Chu Mei's personal participation in the selection, modification and design, how could she not be surprised and emotional?
