After Shen Shuren finished bathing and changing clothes, he changed into the most gorgeous Suzhou embroidered robe, smoked the elegant yellow ripe agarwood, and the spirit of the whole person was different.

It's not at all like in recent months, immersed in military affairs, supper, and food every day.

The Su embroidery he just put on was embroidered by Dong Xiaowan himself, and he sent it together this time.

In the past six months or so, I heard that Dong Xiaowan was in Suzhou, helping to take care of the Shen family's loom business very well.

Although she can't take care of the things that are out there, other customers report that the performance of the machine is a little defective, and she can also help find a way to change it.

Fang Yizhi, who cooperated in the invention of the machine at the beginning, has now been released as a magistrate, and Dong Xiaowan cannot be counted on alone for follow-up technical support and improvement.

In the past six months or so, the Shen family has earned two or three hundred thousand taels of silver from this transaction, and almost all the money for Shen Shuren's equipment to expand the army in Huangzhou this time has been earned. also controlled the most powerful weaving workshop owners in the Susong area into their own camp.

In her spare time, Dong Xiaowan also embroidered some brocade with her own hands, cut and sewed them, and made three sets of robes. One set for the son, one set for Sister Yuanyuan, can be regarded as Xie Chen Yuanyuan's introduction and rescue, and one set is reserved for himself.

Shen Shuren was refreshed and cleaned up, it was already afternoon, and there was still some time before admiring the moon and drinking in the evening, so he casually paced into Chen Yuanyuan and Dong Xiaowan's courtyard.

The sister was grooming slowly, and when he came in, he saw that the two girls' hair was still wet, and they were helping each other comb it.

Chen Yuanyuan was dressed in a light lotus pink light robe, and his face was also lightly pink.

Dong Xiaowan is moon-white, that is, between pure white and azure, which is very clear. Plain face to the sky, a clear water hibiscus.

She has been filial piety to her parents for more than four years, and she has been used to wearing pure white. Even if I am out of the clothes now, I can't get used to heavy makeup, but on the basis of the color of the filial piety clothes, there is a slight bit of water blue.

As soon as she saw Shen Shuren, Dong Xiaowan could still have a calm expression, but just bowed humbly.

Chen Yuanyuan, who was already in the office, seemed to be looking forward to it, and water was dripping from his eyes, like a pink flower-wearing butterfly, floating over lightly, leaning on Shen Shuren's shoulder.

"The son is so ruthless, he said that he would just go to Shanhaiguan to transport grain, and then go to the capital to catch the exam, and he will return in two or three months at most, and this will be more than half a year! I almost thought that Childe didn't want a slave family. ”

Shen Shuren stroked Chen Yuanyuan's wet hair, took the comb from Dong Xiaowan's hand, and comforted her while combing:

"Aren't I crazy, such a charming beauty, how could I not want it. It's just that the mission of the court is in the body, and the state affairs are important, and the body can't help itself.

There is Lin Yangcheng in the east of Huangzhou, Liu Xiyao in the north, and the two thieves are attacking, and I haven't gained a firm foothold yet, and I'm afraid that I will bring you here and fall into danger. ”

Chen Yuanyuan's heart warmed by this words of pity and cherishing jade, and he hurriedly whispered softly: "The slave family is not afraid, the son has not married a wife and left a queen, and he dares to venture into danger, can the life of the slave family be worth more than the son?"

The slave family will definitely not drag the son back, if the thief comes one day and can't hold it, let's run away together. If he becomes a burden to his son, the slave family will learn from Yu Ji and will not be humiliated. There is no need for the son to learn from Liu Bang's old conscienceless hands-on. ”

"Don't say such unlucky things! Since you've come here, let's stay well. ”

Shen Shuren's face was flat, and he put on the majesty of a husband as a wife, and then turned to Dong Xiaowan again, and he didn't hide it anymore:

"Xiaobai, since you came with Yuanyuan, you must have figured it out. Although I can't give you a name for the time being, I will definitely pity you. ”

Dong Xiaowan looked embarrassed, and didn't know how to deal with it for a while, just silently leaning on his other shoulder.

Since he was in Suzhou in April, heard about Shen Shuren High School, and learned that he was very personable and dared to speak directly to the emperor, Dong Xiaowan's heart was full of admiration and admiration, and it was intertwined with the original gratitude and affection, which can be regarded as a matter of course.

The three of them reminisced about the old days, and Dong Xiaowan was sent back to the house to rest first.

And Shen Shuren took advantage of the fact that there was still some time, and he was really bored after holding it for several months, so he hurriedly pulled Chen Yuanyuan back to the room to correct the Fa on the spot.

After the Lantern Festival, goodbye to the Mid-Autumn Festival, for seven months, you can feel that Chen Yuanyuan's posture and demeanor are very different. Originally, he only knew how to greet people with a smile, but now he is tender like water, which is all due to Shen Lang's training.

In love, she couldn't help but joke:

"Shen Lang, if you really think that the slave family is in the way, it's not that you can't send it away. Mrs. and aunts said that if any of our sisters is pregnant with a son's seed, they can take it back to Suzhou to have a baby, and they will also leave them a little more thoughts. ”

When Shen Shuren heard this, he was immediately a little annoyed, he really had long hair and short knowledge! I always think about these unlucky things!

But at this moment, he had no other channel to vent, so he had to torture Chen Yuanyuan to the point of losing his armor: "Then do you want to stay with me, or go back to Suzhou to have a baby!" ”

……

Shen Shuren has been recuperating for half a year, and he is very fierce. When he went to the banquet at night, he still looked tall and steep.

However, Chen Yuanyuan's legs were so weak that he had to be supported by Dong Xiaowan to walk.

Fortunately, the Mid-Autumn Festival night banquet can bring female dependents, and the other guests are also leaning on the red and green, which is not abrupt.

Zhang Huangyan is twenty-two years old, and he just married a wife in Tongcheng last year, and his wife comes from a large local family, that is, the daughter of Fang Yizhi's widowed aunt Fang Weiyi, surnamed Sun, and her appearance is also quite good, and she looks very knowledgeable.

Zhang Huangyan also took office with his wife this time, and when Shen Shuren saw Sun, he also saluted very politely. When he mentioned that he was the same year as his cousin Fang Yizhi and his cousin-in-law, Sun couldn't help laughing, feeling that there were really many coincidences in this world.

On the other side, Zhao Yunfan, the magistrate of this county, is already in his forties, and his wife is already a, so he brought two concubines to the banquet.

The rest of the military attachés such as Zuo Zixiong would not bring their families, so they casually found two fans in Qizhou County to accompany the wine.

Shen Shuren is eclectic in his treats, and he will not look down on martial artists, so he even invites military generals together.

There was even the Spanish mercenary instructor brought by Zhang Huangyan, named Fidel. Pizarro, who also hugged two Southeast Asian and Japanese women, seemed to have been promised to him by Zheng Chenggong when he pulled him up.

The people of the Ming Dynasty still have a lot of backbone, even if it is a woman who comes out to sell, when she encounters the Hongyi barbarians, she will be regarded as a ghost, and she will not do their business if she gives money. This preserved the purity of the healthy society in the late Ming Dynasty, and the works of the late Ming Dynasty that depicted the scenes of the wind and the moon never saw those American dirty diseases.

Although the disease spread among the Spaniards as early as around 1520, until 1630, the Han people were able to keep it from entering the Central Plains, relying on reproductive isolation. After the self-esteem of Huaxia in the late Qing Dynasty was lost, and those flowers and willows really exploded, to the extent that even the royal family could not be spared.

At this moment, seeing this scene, Shen Shuren also secretly praised Zheng Chenggong for his national integrity: it is okay to master Yi's long skills to control them, but you can't use Chinese women to serve them! If there is a shortage of women, find Southeast Asia and the Japanese country to solve it!

(On the Japanese side, because the Warring States daimyo needed "iron cannons", they were willing to use women to envelop the Nanban merchants from the beginning, and they were used to it, so there was no oppression.) As early as 1543, when the "iron cannon came", Tanegashima Tokiyao ordered his retainers to give their daughters to the Nanban musketeers)

The banquet soon officially began, and the dishes and snacks on the table were brought by Zhang Huangyan from Suzhou.

Shen Shuren also changed his usual simplicity, and everyone put rice wine from Huiji Mountain, bald butter stuffed with crab roe and crab paste, and exquisite Suzhou-style moon cakes on their desks. Only vegetables, chicken, duck and fish are produced locally in Huangzhou.

As everyone sat down, the other guests were also amazed when they saw the delicate beauty serving wine by the side of Lord Tongzhi.

"I have always known that the adults are diligent and rigorous, and share the joys and sorrows with the people. is so young and determined to be promising, so he deserves such a good story of a talented and beautiful woman. The lower officials were really frightened, even if they looked at it, they felt guilty, which was really eye-opening. ”

Zhao Yunfan hugged his concubine and admired it from the bottom of his heart.

"Shen Tong is talented and competent, capable of politics, and dares to make a direct admonition, and the beauty should be a hero."

Zuo Zixiong is a rough man and can't speak, but he just thinks that Shen Tongzhi is convinced that he is accompanied by beauties, at least he is more worthy of being surrounded by stunning beauties than those rotten Confucians in Nanjing.

"Eh, today is just for everyone to reunite in the Mid-Autumn Festival, what are you talking about." Shen Shuren looked like he was enjoying with the people, and quickly changed the topic.

Although he has Chen Yuanyuan and Dong Xiaowan by his side, there are also nameless concubines and fans around others, and everyone has a bright future.

Among the guests, only Zhang Huangyan looked the same as usual and drank as usual, which also aroused Sun's curiosity, and secretly pinched him and asked, "Why don't you watch?" Are those two beauties your cousin's concubines? It's really pitiful for me, it's rare in the sky, it's hard to find it in the world, and it's a blessing to be able to find two at a time. ”

Zhang Huangyan was so knocked on the side that he couldn't bear it, so he had to admit: "I saw it before, when I was in Suzhou, my cousin asked that Miss Chen to sing "Peony Pavilion" to everyone. He didn't officially take a concubine, and his uncle was afraid of delaying his marriage with a wealthy family. ”

Sun listened to his confession frankly, but his heart felt more comfortable. In fact, she also knew that she was purely because Chen Yuanyuan and Dong Xiaowan were too beautiful, and she inexplicably gave rise to a sense of crisis.

This side is laughing and playing, and the other side has passed several rounds of banquets.

Zhao Zhixian, who was already determined to hug Tongzhi's thigh, also changed his method and proposed: "Back then, Mr. Dongpo was the deputy envoy of the Huangzhou regiment, and today Shen Tongzhi is also a two-list jinshi, a minister in the world, and the same position. In the future, in this Huangzhou local chronicle, I am afraid that I will have to trace Mr. Dongpo.

Now that it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is better for us to throw bricks and lead jade, sing about the festival beauties, and with Shen Tongzhi's high talent, maybe we can leave a famous article comparable to the east slope. ”

When Shen Shuren heard this, he woke up with the only bit of alcohol. Let him recite poems and give him his life, and he still wants to trace Su Dongpo, it would be good if there was no scandal.

He hurriedly refused: "Eh, it's not proper, Dongpo Jushi Zhuyu is in front, and everything my generation writes is dross." What's more, the Dongpo monks were in a peaceful world back then, but now it is the autumn of national disaster. Everyone is interested, it is better to talk about military affairs and talk about soldiers on paper, it is better than chanting poetry and moaning without illness. ”

A big hat was buttoned down, and Zhao Yunfan also knew that this sycophant couldn't be filmed, so he had to give up.

Unexpectedly, there was a low EQ Zuo Zixiong next to him, who had been drinking there all the time, and he didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere, and he didn't dare to talk to the civil officials. Now that the wine is up, listening to Shen Shuren's support, he immediately spoke:

"Lord Tongzhi, since I am not afraid of the scenery, I would like to discuss with you in the last thing - after arriving in Qizhou just this morning, I went to the barracks to inspect and inspect the firearms tactics practiced by the local regiment.

Mr. Pizarro, the head of the Franco-Robot Sect who came with me, had some differences of opinion with me. We can't convince each other, so please decide what is right and wrong. ”

Zhao Yunfan, who was next to him, suddenly felt unhappy, worried that Zuo Zixiong would be criticized for being so blind.

Mid-Autumn Festival, the full moon is in the sky, talented and beautiful, such a beautiful scenery, you actually ask for advice on the right and wrong of killing people? It's just a cow chewing peonies!

However, Shen Shuren was shocking enough, he wished that someone would divert the topic, lest he be involved in the poem, so he put on a very solemn expression, hugged Chen Yuanyuan with his left hand, and put his right arm against Dong Xiaowan, and said without changing his face:

"Oh? Let's talk about it in detail, what are the differences between the two of you about today's firearms warfare? ”
