"Prince, Her Royal Highness the princess sent someone to say that the prince's birthday is coming, ask when we will go back to the palace?" Recently, things have been too busy, Geng Jingzhong is either staying in Longyan Construction Mine to build the starting point town, or preparing for the big war in Mawei, and he has no time to take care of his family. Even though Fuzhou City was only forty or fifty miles away from here, he didn't go back once.
It wasn't until Yang Jian came to report that he didn't react, and it was indeed a long time since he had gone home. Now that the war has ended, his strength has increased greatly, and he is no longer worried about the Zheng family's attack, and his thoughts about his family suddenly come to mind.
"Pack your things, and we'll be off right away."
Yang Jian led a few guards to ride horses and escort the carriage all the way, and arrived in front of the Jingnan Palace's mansion in less than an hour. At this time, it was already dark, the big lantern above the gate of the house had been hoisted high, and the house was also brightly lit. Several guards threw their horses to them and followed Geng Jingzhong into the mansion.
Two handmaidens came in front of him, and Geng Jingzhong asked without waiting for them to salute and ask, "Do you know where my father is now?" ”
"Back to the world, the prince is eating in the dining room!"
Geng Jingzhong didn't care about them, raised his legs and ran to the dining room. Yang Jian waved his hand to the other two guards in the back, telling them to stay, and he followed alone.
"Father, the son has seen the father, the mother! The son was unfilial and failed to accompany the second elder. As soon as he entered the door, Geng Jingzhong knelt down and kowtowed and said.
As soon as the queen saw her son, she stood up excitedly, and Han Xi quickly stood up next to her and helped the queen. The feelings of longing for several months exploded instantly, and the eyes of the two of them suddenly turned red: "Hurry, hurry up." Let my mother take a good look! As he spoke, he beckoned Geng Jingzhong to come over, "My son has lost weight!" ”
"Mother, sit down, my son is in good health, in the army, my son exercises every day, can eat and drink, I just miss you very much." Geng Jingzhong stepped forward to help his mother and said, then raised his head and glanced at Yu Xi and smiled.
Huan Xi also misses him very much, if it weren't for the fear of affecting Geng Jingzhong, she would have passed when Geng Jingzhong just returned to Mawei a month ago.
"Okay, let Zhong'er sit down and eat, he should be tired for a while!" Geng Jimao stopped the mother and son from continuing, and asked Geng Jingzhong to sit down to eat, and the subordinates on the side immediately added a pair of dishes and chopsticks.
Geng Jingzhong sat down, and Huan Xi came over to add food to him, looking at Geng Jingzhong with gentle eyes, which made Geng Jingzhong's heart feel hot. "You can also sit down and eat, these days you are left alone in the house to take care of your mother, you have worked hard."
"Look at what you said, this is a daughter-in-law's business. It's good that you're busy with your big business! Geng Jingzhong stopped her words, and there was a sour feeling in it.
"I've read all your reports, the Zheng family is indeed too deceitful, and it's really hard to change your pirate nature. You fought very well in this battle, and the Zheng family will not dare to underestimate us in the future. Geng Jimao, the king of Jingnan, was really full of excitement when he talked about this, a few years ago, the Zheng family often invaded the coastal areas of Fujian with their powerful sailors. Especially in the coastal areas of Xiamen and Quanzhou, it is basically the back garden of his Zheng family, bullying them without sailors and fleets, they really want to come and go! It's really infuriating. The little sailors of the imperial court were basically the guards of the former Ming Dynasty, and they did not dare to go to sea to fight with the Zheng family, and finally united with the Dutch to attack together and were defeated. "But I didn't expect you to make such a big scene, it was really beyond my expectations."
"Father, I originally wanted to drive away the Zheng family's attacking fleet, but who expected things to change too quickly, so I had no choice but to do this risky trick, I didn't want to really succeed, now we are going to make a big deal."
"Well, go to the study after dinner and tell me about it."
After eating, Geng Jingzhong accompanied his father Geng Jimao to chat in the study for more than an hour, and described what he had done in the past few months in detail. focused on the beginning and end of the war, and Geng Jimao, who listened to it, laughed heartily. In the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao praised his son Cao Zhang as "the thousand-mile horse of my family", and praised Jiangdong Sun Quan for "giving birth to a son like Sun Zhongmou", according to Geng Jimao, his son is no worse than these two people.
"Master, I'm back! The hot water is ready, let's take a shower to relieve fatigue first," said Huan Xi with a gentle smile.
Geng Jingzhong nodded, and walked directly to the room dedicated to bathing, he has been so busy in the past few months, he has not taken a bath for a long time, the weather was hot some time ago, and he simply washed it with cold water once or twice every day, and he really missed this bath. This kind of bath is Geng Jingzhong's own design, he doesn't like to sit in a big wooden barrel to bathe, the space is too small, it feels too restrictive, so Geng Jingzhong ordered people to build this bath, there is a water inlet and a water outlet at both ends of the bath, if you want to add water, you no longer need to carry water into the house, you can flow in directly from the other side through the guò pipe, and it is more convenient to release water. The structure of the bathroom is similar to that in his previous life, if the water is cold, just knock on the wall, and hot water will be put next to it, which is very convenient.
Geng Jingzhong withdrew his sweat-smelling clothes and jumped into the pool. I didn't feel anything when I stayed in the barracks, but when I came back, I felt soft when I was slack, and I didn't want to get up when I soaked in the water. Originally, every time he took a bath, there was a special maid to rub himself, but Geng Jingzhong couldn't stand such a rotten and depraved scene, so he withdrew all of them. This is either her own woman, or she really doesn't have the fetish of exposing herself in front of strangers.
Huan Xi knew his temper, so he didn't let anyone else into the house, and Geng Jingzhong, who came over with a towel, wiped it slowly. "Yu Xi, I've really hurt you recently, and I didn't let you go to Mawei because I was worried about you, after all, I was preparing for war over there at that time. Okay now, I won't go out for a long time in the future, I'll accompany you at home, and if I go out next time, I will definitely take you. Geng Jingzhong turned around, gently patted the little hand on his shoulder with his hand, and said softly to her.
"Master, I'm not hard, it's enough for me to have me in my heart." Han Xi's hand didn't stop, still gently wiping Geng Jingzhong, but his eyes seemed to be a little red.
She lowered her head, her long hair went around the thin white neck stalk, and touched Geng Jingzhong's back, itching. At this time, Yu Xi had finished wiping his back and was about to let Geng Jingzhong turn around. Geng Jingzhong was closing his eyes to enjoy this gentle service, suddenly felt an itch in his back, opened his eyes, and turned around. looked at Huan Xi sitting behind him, looking at himself gently. Her long hair was a little wet, presumably condensed by the steam in the room, and there was a lot of sweat on her pink, smooth and charming face, which was caused by rubbing herself in the bath.
Geng Jingzhong looked at her pretty face, it was really indescribably moving, Geng Jingzhong's physical and mental exhaustion was suddenly swept away, and he raised his hand to the first floor and hugged Huan Xi into the pool. With such a lively beauty in front of him, he is still his wife, if there is no action, then it is really, go directly to practice the sunflower treasure book!
"Yikes!" Huan Xi exclaimed, and then the hot water gushed, the mist steamed, and it was suddenly discharged. Huan Xi hurriedly stood up, and the gauze that was wet by the warm water in the pool was attached to her body, and the pool water rolled down her concave delicate body, and her skin was bright and white, like mutton fat and jade; Enlargement of breasts and thin waist, the two points on the peak are clearly visible, and the whole wet body**!
After a period of panic, he glanced at Geng Jingzhong with disgust. Standing in the pool, Xin is long and slender, with long hair like a waterfall, sharp fragrant shoulders and sharp twin peaks forming beautiful and graceful lines, and with this ecstatic eyes, Geng Jingzhong is once again crazy. Even if he is a saint at this moment, how can he not be moved by emotions at this time. The wolf howled, and suddenly pulled Huan Xi into his arms again, and the love words of Qiē were not as good as the actual movements.
The surrounding lights and candles flickered and flickered, and the red light reflected the long figure on the wall. The warm water of the pool was surging, and the beautiful woman who was as white as jade was already lying on the stone chair, her eyes closed and full of joy and shyness. But it was the warriors who had bright eyes in the back who couldn't wait to conquer the city.
The warm pool water gently rippled the two bodies, Geng Jingzhong woke up in a daze, looked at the delicate body beside him and smiled slightly, and gently shook her awake: "Baby, get up, let's go back to the room, we can't soak in this water for too long!" ”
"Hmm~" A coquettish groan, Yu Xi opened her eyes lazily, "Ah, why am I asleep here!" It's all your fault! ”
"Okay, baby, you're wrong. Hehe, get dressed, let's go back to sleep! Obedient! As he spoke, Geng Jingzhong picked up Yu Xi, picked up the clothes on the shelf and put them on. These are soft robes that are very comfortable to wear on the body, Geng Jingzhong is now used to such a rotten life!
The next day, Geng Jingzhong got up late unexpectedly, and his lazy body lay on the bed and didn't wake up. The mental tension for days was highly tense, and the constant busyness made him subconsciously not want to get up again, and he was still asleep. Even the daily greetings were said by Huan Xi himself. The prince and princess also knew that their son was tired, so they took the initiative to ask him to rest more, and told Huan Xi to call Geng Jingzhong not to come over to say hello recently.
Now, there are no enemies around Fujian that can threaten him, and the next step is to seize the time and work hard to develop. The training of soldiers, the development of mines, the development of firearms, the opening of commerce, etc., all require a lot of effort, but fortunately, everything has some appearance, and there are special people in charge, but he doesn't have to worry too much. He only needs to control the overall situation, and at the same time, he has to pay close attention to the information sent by Ah Hou, find out a possible enemy of Qiqi, and nip it in the bud.
