Chapter 90
At the beginning of March, the officials who had been stationed at the Rongshan Island gold mine finally arrived. [Full text reading. 】
I don't know what kind of rhetoric and arrows the DPRK has experienced, and at the beginning of his tenure, the official surnamed Cheng who came to take over urged Zhou Hong to lead his troops out of Rongshan Island as soon as possible, and asked about the whereabouts of the original miners.
Zhou Hongjiu is not in Beijing for a long time, and he doesn't know the official surnamed Cheng, but from his arrogant arrogance, he can guess that this person has a bit of background, and he doesn't bother to care about who is standing behind the official surnamed Cheng, but the original miners were all captured by the Japanese and have already been sent home.
The official surnamed Cheng was a little unhappy and complained that Zhou Hong should not let the miners go.
Zhou Hong didn't bother to argue with him, and left Rongshan Island with the people from the Mingzhou Navy Battalion.
The DPRK and China attached great importance to the gold mines on Rongshan Island, and when the official surnamed Cheng came, he also brought a team of sergeants to garrison Rongshan Island, instead of ordering the Southeast Naval Division to send officers and soldiers to garrison it.
Zhou Hong breathed a sigh of relief, and stood side by side with Ye Zhiqing on the aft deck, looking back at Rongshan Island, which was getting away, and was a little worried: "I always feel that this newcomer to Rongshan Island is not very right. There are no miners on the island now, and it is not known how he is going to dig for gold? ”
Ye Zhiqing asked rhetorically: "Could it be that he will learn from Zhang Jiushan and take people captive all over the coast to dig for gold?" "Isn't that a bandit?
Zhou Hong was not frightened by her whimsy, but smiled bitterly: "Who knows? I listened to his words and regarded the people like ants, and I really didn't know how he solved the problem of miners. ”
"Why don't you solve it for him?"
"How can I fix it for him? You can't send the soldiers of my Mingzhou battalion to mine for him, right? ”
Ye Zhiqing's eyes rolled, and she had an idea: "Isn't there a death row prisoner who has committed the most heinous crimes?" Throw the most vicious people to him to dig for gold, and without ships, these people can't even escape from prison. ”
Zhou Hong rubbed her head: "Sometimes I really don't know what is in your little head, I really dare to think and dare to do it." ”
These days, Lian Hui and a group of military doctors under his hands are about to put Ye Zhiqing on the table, chasing after her every day to discuss medical skills with her, Ye Zhiqing also took the opportunity to learn from Lian Hui, from a one-sided discussion to mutual learning. Ye Zhiqing learned to be fascinated and didn't remember that there was a boyfriend Zhou Hong waiting for her, and every week Hong went to Lianhui to arrest someone, a group of military doctors lowered their heads and snickered.
Lian Hui sighed privately with a group of military doctors: "I really didn't expect the major general to have such a day." But he is too good at picking people, and the leaves are good in all aspects, but he is much stronger than those ladies who can only embroider in the embroidery building. After getting married in the future, the husband sings and the wife follows, and I don't know how much harmony and beauty. ”
Since Zhou Zhen turned a blind eye to the correspondence between Zhou Hong and Ye Zhiqing, Lian Hui also felt that General Zhou was satisfied with this family business, and he was even more happy to see it come true.
The warship was sailing on the sea, Zhou Hong was finally able to break through Lian Hui's blockade line and arrest people to accompany him, and he couldn't wait to detain people around him for twelve hours, Ye Zhiqing leaned on him, looking at the vast smoke and waves from afar, and suddenly became interested, and said, "Let me tell you a story, right?" ”
Zhou Hong was fortunate to listen to the story of the lawless stone monkey she told, although he couldn't hear the ending, but he also thought about it for a while, and only felt that the monkey she told had a deep meaning, and he cheered at the moment: "Then tell it quickly." ”
Ye Zhiqing cleared her throat and began to speak: "In the past, there was a great figure in the martial arts, named Wang Chongyang, who had a book of Nine Yin True Scripture in his hand. But when he was dying, he was afraid that the disciples in the sect would not be able to protect this martial arts treasure, so he divided the scriptures into two parts, so as not to be served by the evil demons in the martial arts. He has a junior brother who is very unorthodox, and he only remembers his age to play, his name is Zhou Botong, and his nickname is the old naughty boy. She set off from the old naughty boy carrying this half of the martial arts secret treasure, and was coaxed by Huang Laoxie on the way, and lent the Jiuyin Sutra to Mrs. Huang to watch, but after Mrs. Huang finished reading, she said that the old urchin was just an ordinary book of divination.
Zhou Hong listened to it interestingly, and couldn't help asking: "Is this book really fake?" Is the old urchin's brother mistaken? ”
Ye Zhiqing shook her head: "No, no, no, but this Mrs. Huang never forgot it, and after only reading it for two hours, she memorized half of the Nine Yin True Scripture, and the old naughty boy tore up the scripture in anger, but when she went back, she wrote down what she had memorized, thinking about finding the upper half of the Nine Yin True Scripture, so that Huang Laoxie could practice." ”
Zhou Hong's eyes widened when he heard this: "Is there really anyone in the world who will never forget?" There are always records in the history books, I really didn't expect that there would be women so smart. ”
Ye Zhiqing: "Are you looking down on women?" She talked about eagle shooting on a whim today, but she remembered that there was a period of Zhou Botong riding a shark in the eagle shooting, and she was very impressed.
In the condor shooting, Guo Jing and Huang Rong are the protagonists, but Ye Zhiqing loves the old naughty boy as he wants, she talked about the old naughty boy who learned that he was deceived back then, and ran to find Huang Laoxi, but was trapped on Peach Blossom Island, and actually practiced peerless martial arts, and hit the shark with Hong Qigong and Guo Jing at sea to survive, and later made a bet with Ouyang Feng's uncle and nephew to jump into the sea, but finally rode a shark and saved Hong Qigong and Guo Jing Huang Rong.
Zhou Hong was already fascinated when he heard that Hong Qigong Guo Jing and the old urchin were hitting hundreds of sharks in the sea, and Ouyang Feng poisoned the sharks in the entire sea area, he was already stunned, and stopped Hong Qigong and others from stepping into a desperate situation, Zhou Botong appeared riding a shark, the situation was very strange, and even people like him, who had always been rigid and solemn, laughed out loud.
"This old naughty boy is really ......" fun tight.
He almost grew up in the military camp since he was a child, he went out with his father when he was a little older, and he was the son of the Zhou family, with a heavy burden, and in the future, Zhou Zhen will take off his armor and return to the field, he will be the next commander of the Southeast Water Army, and he has received the most severe teaching, and he almost does not smile in the camp all the year round, that is, he later met Ye Zhiqing, and he became alive.
The Condor Hero is a fairy tale by G Rén, and the characters in it have their own styles, which fascinates many adult men and women, and even Zhou Hong is fascinated when he listens to it, and admires the old naughty boy's ability, but he can't agree with his idea that marrying a wife is the most troublesome thing in the world.
He hugged Ye Zhiqing and said with a smile: "The old naughty boy is really free to live, how many people in the world can compare?" It's just that he doesn't know the joy of husband and wife, which is a bit of a pity. I used to hear you tell the story of the stone monkey, but then I didn't hear the ending. There is an old naughty boy and Huang Laoxi, where did you get so many stories in your head? ”
Ye Zhiqing pretended to be confused: "Maybe I saw it from a book when I was a child, I don't remember it clearly." ”
The Yang family has a little bit of property, and the family also calls the servants of the family, if she goes to the teahouse every day to listen to books, this is a bit of a lie.
Zhou Hong thought that she made it up herself, and she was even more rare in her heart, she only felt that she was eccentric and full of whimsical ideas, and she just wanted to go ashore for a while, get married as soon as possible, and marry someone home.
But when the ship arrived in Mingzhou, he wanted to invite Ye Zhiqing to live at home, but Ye Zhiqing politely refused.
"I'm afraid it's rude for me to come to visit so rashly. I have to go home and show your parents. ”
Zhou Zhen's attitude seems to be very friendly, but Ye Zhiqing knows that since ancient times, the contradictions between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are difficult to solve, but there are few conflicts between father-in-law and daughter-in-law.
She herself has been thinking about it these days, although she hasn't played enough, but Zhou Hong's sincerity in proposing marriage is unquestionable, and he is a very serious person, if she tells him again at this time: Let's just have fun, just get married. Zhou Hong is going to be annoyed if he can't keep it.
I don't know if it's the opposite of Zhou Hong in the past two months, but he actually taught her to be reluctant, and he was angry and sad if he was reluctant.
I can only take one step at a time.
Zhou Hong settled down in the Mingzhou Inn, and then went back to the naval camp to make a business, and when he saw Zhou Zhen, he asked Mrs. Zhou's attitude, "Father, what does my mother say?" ”
General Zhou was defeated by his wife's tears, and he felt ashamed to talk about it, and he was really embarrassed to mention it in front of his eldest son, so he could only vaguely and diluted: "This...... I still want you to talk to your mother about this matter, and you can't talk until your mother has seen Miss Ye, right? ”
Zhou Hong was full of joy, and when Zhou Zhen had already said good things for him in front of Zhou's husband, he just waited for him to bring people back to get what he wanted. With Mrs. Zhou's idea of looking forward to him getting married as soon as possible, coupled with the fact that Ye Zhiqing is very good in his eyes, Mrs. Zhou has no reason to disagree.
After he went back, he mentioned to Mrs. Zhou that he wanted to marry Ye Zhiqing as his wife, and told Ye Zhiqing all the benefits. Listening to Mrs. Zhou's ears, she secretly only sighed that the wild girl outside coaxed her son into confusion, so a stable and reliable son has now become full of children's affection, and he is no different from a fool and a fool.
The more Zhou Hong praised Ye Zhiqing, the more disgusted Mrs. Zhou became.
Before she saw the person, she first added countless bad feelings, and she didn't know how many charges she had added to Ye Zhiqing, and she had to make an interested look on her face: "Since Miss Ye is so good, why don't you bring people to your mother to see?" ”
She had seen this kind of thing when she was a girl, and the eldest brother Yu Wenchong had a crush on an outside woman, and also proposed to take her home to be a flat wife.
Old Madam Yu was not angry at the time and calmed her son, but she put pressure on the woman outside behind her back and separated the two. Afterwards, Yu Wenchong didn't know what was going on, he only resented that he had never seen people, and he thought that his love was just a joke than Jin Jian, and he obediently returned to the family.
At that time, Mrs. Yu could only grit her teeth and swallow blood, and she personally spoke to her mother-in-law, and asked a girl next to Mrs. Yu to appease her husband, and finally achieved harmony with his wife and concubine at home.
Mrs. Zhou was only in her early teens at the time, and she didn't understand the deep meaning of this, but she kept in mind the way Mrs. Yu handled the matter at that time. Until today, she is in the position of Mrs. Yu back then, and she doesn't want her mother and son to turn against an outside woman, so that she can understand the painstaking efforts of being a mother.
Zhou Hong didn't know the twists and turns, and Mrs. Zhou also liked Ye Zhiqing very much, and said at the moment: "I was going to bring Ye Zi back and wanted her to live at home temporarily, but she refused to come rashly." The son came to ask his mother, so that she could come to live in the house first, and then talk about it when the day of marriage was near. ”
Mrs. Zhou said in her heart: Wow, I have been planning to marry Hong'er for a long time, but in the end, I am a woman rolling in the dust outside, I don't know how many wrists I need to envelop men. secretly sighed that the eldest son had been in the barracks for too long, and he was stunned that he didn't open his head to the woman, and was taken advantage of by a woman outside.
She also deliberately praised Ye Zhiqing: "Listen to you, this Ye girl is quite polite." "At least I'm not stupid to the end, I know that I can't just rush into the house with a white face." It just so happened that your father recently returned victoriously with you, and a banquet was going to be held in the mansion, and the ladies of various families were invited, so it was better to invite Miss Ye to come at that time, so that she could also get close to the little ladies of Mingzhou Mansion. ”
Zhou Hong felt that his mother was thoughtful: "Then it is decided, my son will go and pick up the leaves when the time comes, and I will come to the door >."
Zhou Qi was eager to try beside him, he had long wanted to meet Ye Zhiqing, and he didn't care whether Mrs. Zhou was happy or not, so he responded: "Don't worry, big brother, I will definitely accompany Miss Ye." ”
Mrs. Zhou couldn't wait to sew this girl's mouth shut.
According to her thoughts, where does her daughter have the daughter of the boudoir to accompany a wild girl who doesn't know the origin outside? I didn't have to take her obedient baby daughter with me.
It's just that at this moment, he can't let the eldest son see what he thinks, so he only pointed to his daughter's forehead: "You are so crazy, and you are not afraid that you will scare Miss Ye when the time comes?" When Miss Ye came, her mother found a gentle little lady from another family to accompany the guests. Don't rush forward. ”
Zhou Qi stuck out his tongue and answered in his mouth, but he thought in his heart that he must find an opportunity to get close to Ye Zhiqing when he turned around.
Mrs. Zhou had the intention to break up her son and Ye Zhiqing, so she was silent at the moment, but then she arranged it, and first quietly sent someone to the largest flower building in Mingzhou and invited three oiran ladies. He also sprinkled posts to various governments in Mingzhou, clearly to appreciate spring, but in fact, it was for his son to choose a wife.
The Zhou family has been stationed in the southeast for generations, the naval army camp is in Mingzhou, and Mrs. Zhou was born in Yufu, but there are really many famous ladies who want to marry into the general's mansion.
On the day of the banquet, there was a lot of traffic in front of the General's Mansion, and it was difficult for the guests to walk.
Ye Zhiqing had already received a message from Zhou Hong, prepared the Ganoderma lucidum dug up in the dense forest in the mountains of Rongshan Island, the red coral pearls and other things fished from the sea, and found the best brocade box, let Sixuan hold it, and took the carriage sent by Zhou Hong to pick up people, and went to Zhou's mansion.
Zhou Hong wanted to come over to pick up people in person, but today's banquet at home, Mrs. Zhou not only invited the wives of the various prefectures this time, but also invited the famous officials of the Mingzhou Mansion in the name of Zhou Zhen.
Ye Zhiqing sat in the carriage of the Zhou Mansion, and when she arrived at the entrance of the hòu mén, the coachman stopped the carriage, and the mother-in-law who had been guarding the entrance of the hòu mén led her to the house, and said casually: "Today's banquet guests in the mansion, there are many ladies and ladies xiǎo jiě, lords and young masters, the general and the young general are very busy, and the lady and xiǎo jiě are also busy greeting the guests, for fear of snubbing the girl, so I invited a few little ladies to accompany the girl, and when I am free, the lady will come to see the girl." ”
Si Xuan turned her head to look at Ye Zhiqing, her tongue was cut, even if she felt strange in her heart, she couldn't speak, but seeing that Ye Zhiqing didn't seem to be aware of such an obvious coldness, she politely said a few words to her mother-in-law, and followed to a secluded courtyard, and the little maid ring guarding the door led their master and servant in.
Ye Zhiqing said: "Since Mrs. is very busy, it is better to bother my mother to present the gift, and it is not too late to see Mrs. when she is free." ”
The mother-in-law took the brocade box held by Si Xuan, handed the person to the little girl ring waiting at the gate of the courtyard, and then left.
Ye Zhiqing took a deep breath, and heard the silk and bamboo in the distance, and the aftermath was endless, when the carriage came, it passed by the main gate of the General's Mansion, and there were many ladies and xiǎo jiě who entered through the main gate, but she was brought in from hòu mén, what else did she not understand at this time?
Mrs. Zhou probably didn't want her to enter the door of Zhou's house, so she gave her a dismount at the first meeting, so that she could retreat.
Ye Zhiqing followed the little girl into the courtyard, but saw a woman in red sitting under the flower stand in the courtyard, with exquisite makeup, and when she saw her come in, she lazily said: "Which mèi mèi is this, how come I have never seen it?" "But it's a good voice that is charming to the bone.
Suddenly, a sneer came from the main room: "You are not a man, have you seen all the girls in any family?" ”
When Ye Zhiqing heard this, she felt different.
It's not that she hasn't seen the woman of Dawei, it's the woman in the backyard of Xiao Ye, the king of Huai'an, I'm afraid she can't speak so boldly. And the Zhou Mansion should have invited the ladies of Mingzhou today, how could they be so ignorant?
The curtain of the main room was lifted, and two more beauties came out, wide-sleeved skirts, one of them was a woman dressed in purple, and the bandeau embroidered with large gorgeous begonia flowers covered half of the spring color on the chest, but a trace of snow skin was exposed, and the peaks were stacked on the chest.
Three pairs of eyes looked at Ye Zhiqing at the same time, but seeing that this girl was wearing a spring shirt, even if she was tightly wrapped, even her complexion revealed a sense of coldness, but she didn't have to deliberately draw her eyebrows and lips, and her snowy appearance compared the three of them.
There is a kind of woman in this world, who is born beautiful without knowing it, and she is not born by selling her hue, so her appearance has no special meaning to her, but makes them accustomed to selling her hue and becoming inferior.
The other woman in a white shirt was much more gentle and reserved than the two in a red and purple dress. She stepped out of the door, came to Ye Zhiqing, and smiled softly at her: "Is the girl Zhao Huan'er from Feifeng Tower?" I've admired the name for a long time, but I haven't had a chance to see it! ”
Zhao Huan'er is a newly rising beauty in the flower building of Mingzhou Mansion, attracting many famous children, scholars and scholars are sought after, it is said that the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all excellent, many people spend a lot of money, just to listen to her a song, or with a poem.
Ye Zhi
