Episode 69 Shot - The ball goes in

Nanjing's "Constitutional Amendment Conference" has been completed, and after more than two months of quarrels, the parliament has finally completed the revision of the constitution, which signifies, at least in terms of system, that the Ming Dynasty has completed half a century of reform and reform and has become a complete democratic country.

Xiang Xiaoqiang and Zhu Yourong received a telegram on the plane back to Nanjing, saying that the Imperial House of Lords had just passed a bill giving women the right to vote by a narrow margin of 17 votes in favor and 13 votes against. When the radioman finished reading the news, a pleasant cheer immediately occurred in the cabin - Zhu Yourong's personal palace maids were very excited, cheering and applauding. Although they don't run, they see it as a victory for them as women. Zhu Yourong was also very happy and happy with everyone. This was a milestone event that marked a huge step up the status of women in the Ming Dynasty.

As a result of the discussions in the Imperial Diet, the 12 provinces and the three directly controlled regions of the former Southern Ming Dynasty were immediately elected by universal suffrage. The 13 northern provinces will implement a transitional period of 10 years, after which universal suffrage will be implemented. The transition period of Qinghai, Wusizang, Northern Xinjiang and Southern Xinjiang is 15 years.

The Imperial Parliament is divided into an upper house of 30 members and two seats in each of the 12 southern provinces and three territories. The three municipalities are Nanjing, Shanghai and Chongqing. Nanjing is the political center of the country, Shanghai is the economic center of the country, and Chongqing is the political and economic center of the strategic rear of the southwest. The House of Commons currently has a total of 325 seats, with about 300,000 deputies representing almost every deputy, according to the proportion of the population of each province.

Under the Imperial Parliament, the provinces and territories also had their own parliaments, which were also divided into the upper and lower houses. Shang Xiaojun is running for the lower house of the Nanjing Municipality. This is a much lower threshold than for members of the House of Lords.

When he returned home, Xiang Xiaoqiang found that there was an atmosphere of joy at home. The maids ran before and after, talking and laughing, and they were in a good mood. Qiu Yu and Xiuxiu are the core of this joy, the two are like little girls, directing everyone to be busy, mixed with cheerful laughter from time to time.

Xiang Xiaoqiang knew that the current Xiang Mansion had become the base camp for Shang Xiaojun to run for parliament. Xiuxiu is working hard for her mother's campaign, and Qiu Yu also follows her to help. Shang Xiaojun sat steadily in his wheelchair, watching all this, with a satisfied smile on his face, while bowing his head to revise the outline of the speech, a spirit was surrounding his whole body, as if he was more than ten years younger.

However, there is another reason for the cheerful atmosphere at home, which Xiang Xiaoqiang does not know.

That night, at the first family banquet when Xiang Xiaoqiang and Zhu Yourong returned home, Xiang Xiaoqiang was very sensitive to find that the atmosphere was not right. Everyone didn't speak, just laughed, looking at Qiu and smiling. Qiu Yu was looked down by everyone, and he wanted to hide his head under the table. However, the little woman's face was still a smile that could not be hidden, a smile that exuded happiness.

Zhu Yourong was also puzzled, looked at Xiang Xiaoqiang for a while, and then also looked at Qiu Yun, and said with a smile:

"Qiuyun, what's the matter, so happy?"

Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at Qiu Qiu's appearance, and observed everyone's reactions again, and faintly had some premonitions.

Sure enough, Qiu Yu finally raised his head, blushed, and said with a smile:

"Little ...... Xiaoqiang, I ...... I...... My ...... Hmmm......"

Zheng Yuxuan, who was opposite, couldn't help it, and smiled directly:

"I'll tell you for you! Xiaoqiang, don't you know, Qiu Yu is pregnant! ”

Suddenly, "coaxing", everyone coaxed, and the laughter of the girls in the restaurant "giggled" went straight to the ceiling, Qiu Yu was relaxed, no longer so shy and embarrassed, but raised his head and looked at Xiaoqiang coquettishly.

Xiang Xiaoqiang's heart was shocked, and a wave of ecstasy rushed through his body. He immediately got up, rushed to Qiu Yun's side, hugged her, gently stroked her belly, and grinned:

"Oops...... Good, good autumn, worthy of my good autumn...... Attaboy...... When? How is it so fast? ”

As soon as the sentence "Why is it so fast" came out, Qiu Yun immediately lowered his head in shame again, and his face went straight into Xiaoqiang's arms. Several of the other girls also "eat" and smiled, looking at them with ambiguous eyes. Shang Xiaojun was still smiling like a generous elder, and at the same time gave his daughter across the table an encouraging look.

Fourteen Gege laughed:

"The imperial doctor has seen it, and it has been less than two months. I said Xiaoqiang, you have to thank Qiuqiu. Qiu Yu: This can be regarded as saving face for you, the commander. …… You don't count, how many years have it been since Qiu Yu and Xiuxiu entered the door? The huge Xiang Mansion still didn't move at all. Some tabloids have long started to write nonsense, and if it continues like this, it will not be a tabloid business. ”

Fourteen Gege took the lead and finished speaking, and the other girls also nodded in agreement, with a shy smile on their faces. Even Zhu Yourong couldn't help but smile, lowered his head, and a trace of blush crept up his cheeks.

Xiang Xiaoqiang was embarrassed, rubbed his hands with a smile, nodded and smiled:

"Ah, good, good, all good, all good......"

Of course he knew what fourteen squares meant. Indeed, since he married the first pair of ladies - Qiu Yu and Xiuxiu to the present, he has married five ladies successively, but in the past few years, none of the ladies have been pregnant, and there has never been a cry of a baby in Xiangfu. The tabloids can't help but speculate. But speculation is speculation, and the ladies understand it. It's not that my husband is sick, but every time I have sex, I have enough contraception, on the grounds that I am still young and not ready to be a father, and I will talk about it in two or three years. In this way, although the ladies are reluctant, in the end, Xiang Xiaoqiang is the head of the family, and there is no choice but to follow him.

But since Xiang Xiaoqiang's disappearance last year, Xiang Xiaoqiang, who has returned, seems to have changed as a person, as if he has unloaded some kind of burden, and all the previous contraceptive measures have been thrown aside, as if he has been missing for a few months, making him realize the true meaning of life. Of course, this made several ladies happy, and everyone was secretly happy in their hearts, but they were also secretly competing, and they all wanted to be the first to get pregnant and become the mother of the eldest son of Xiangfu.

The position of the prince of the Ming Dynasty can only be selected in Zhu Yourongsheng's room, and it has nothing to do with the other ladies. Moreover, Xiang Xiaoqiang's throne is not hereditary, it is descending, that is to say, there is no son, all sons are marquis, and grandchildren are all uncles. ——Although the current "eldest son" does not have much practical significance, and does not have an advantage in terms of title and property inheritance, in the traditional society of the Ming Dynasty, this means that the status of the mother of the eldest son is improved.

Therefore, Xiang Xiaoqiang deliberately gave this "first place" to Qiu Qiu. And Qiu Yun was also very "on the road", catching "this ball" beautifully and accurately, just like the first time the two met, Qiu Yun caught the gun beautifully and accurately.

And today, Fourteen Gege is full of ambiguity in this paragraph, which means: It's our turn next, you have to count!
