When he returned to Nanjing this time, Shen Shuren brought a cart of to-do lists, and he was destined to be too busy.

Zhou Yanru and other upstart Beijing officials who are about to go north want to pull relations, Lin Yangcheng's final persuasion has to be arranged, the case of Jiangxi's gangsters and gentry needs to be qualitative, and Shen Shuren's own position in the next stage has to be run for office......

Even Shen Shuren also considered whether to help his father's Cao Yun reform work and settle more demobilized Cao people.

Or take advantage of the Bohai thaw this spring to transport grain to the north again, to see if there is a chance to rescue some of the remnants of Hong Chengchou who are about to collapse at this moment in history-

The field part of the Battle of Songshan commanded by Hong Chengchou had already failed miserably several months ago, after Shen Shuren killed Erhe and settled Zhang Xianzhong's case last year, around late autumn.

Several of the most determined general soldiers under Hong Chengchou, such as Wang Pu, Ma Ke, Tang Tong, etc., have also broken up and fled. Wu Sangui's will to be stronger than the above three people, he only retreated to Shanhaiguan in the second stage.

Four of the eight general soldiers fled and two died, and now only Hong Chengchou himself and the last two more die-hard general soldiers are left, guarding Songshan, Xingshan, Tashan and other fortified county towns and fortress strongholds.

And these cities have been besieged by Huang Taiji for at least three or four months now. The current Qing army does not seem to have very much experience with the heavily garrisoned fortified city. It is also possible that it was to starve the Ming army to death by besieging and cutting off food, and was too lazy to waste too many lives of the Eight Banners to attack.

According to the original progress of history, these siege battles lasted for more than half a year. It was not until the early summer of this year that the breaches, or the strong, or the unwavering surrender due to lack of supplies.

Now, even if there is Shen Shuren's butterfly effect, the overall situation in the north should not be changed, so I can only say that we will see if there is a chance to do something at that time.

According to history, when the Ming army outside Guanwai finally collapsed, a large number of soldiers who broke through and fled fled from Tashan to the coast of Beacon Mountain, and a small number escaped by sea, but most of them were driven into the sea and drowned by the Qing army.

The Shen family has the right to control the sea in the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea, and there are far more ships than in the same period in history.

……

After such a combing, Shen Shuren returned to Nanjing this time, and there were really a lot of things to do.

But Rao is like this, when he stepped on the Qinhuai River wharf, he still felt a little trance and unreality in his heart.

It has been fifteen years since Du Chongzhen, and the situation on all fronts of the Ming Dynasty is so precarious—at least except for the front where Shen Shuren personally sat and intervened, the other fronts were all precarious.

But in this city of Nanjing, there is still not the slightest tension, and it is much more peaceful than Beijing.

The literati and scholars are still chanting the wind and the moon there, as if when they reach the mouth of the Qinhuai River, this world is cast with an enchantment that isolates all bloody and helpless.

So much so that Shen Shuren couldn't help but wonder: Is this the Qinhuai River or the Styx? Hell on the other side of the river, and Elysion on the other side of the river?

was in the same trance as Shen Shuren, as well as Chen Yuanyuan and Li Xiangjun who were attached to his side.

The two beauties have also seen the prosperity of Qinhuai gold powder for many years, and followed Shen Shuren to the bitter cold and remote land for a year and a half, so that they could wash away the glitz and barely live a hard life.

At this moment, when they revisited the old place, they couldn't help but moisten the corners of their eyes, thinking of the original helplessness, the current luck, and the bonds of sisters.

The dock was bustling, and Chen Yuanyuan and Li Xiangjun could only tighten their hats, close to their son-in-law, and hide in his cloak so as not to be squeezed by outsiders.

There are too many dignitaries and nobles in Nanjing, and there are many people who are bigger than the governor, not to mention that Shen Shuren is just a platform, so he doesn't have the energy to directly charter the dock to clear the road.

What's more, his temporary departure to return to Nanjing this time is not a serious arrangement of the imperial court or a summons from Shangguan, so it is better to keep a low profile.

On the dock, there were already relatives and friends of the Shen family waiting to greet them, and when they saw the boat with the Shen character flag stopped, they immediately looked forward to surrounding them, and there were many stunning beauties.

All of a sudden, the fragrant wind is gusting, gentle and pressing, and it is a spectacle.

Shen Shuren only felt that his eyes flickered, and he noticed that among the beautiful maids, the stunning beauty in a white robe for a month, with a small waist, like stars holding the moon, was Dong Xiaowan. She held a baby in one hand and an umbrella in the other, standing in the drifting snowflakes.

Dong Xiaowan was also looking at him, his eyes were scorching, tender like water, and the next second he was weakly stepping towards the wind, the pace was very fast, but he was very careful, lest he fall into the way, in order to avoid getting in the way, he lost the umbrella covering the snow without taking a few steps.

"Childe, I want to die in the slave family, I can't leave the slave family behind this time, by the way, look at my daughter, I just turned 100 days last month."

Dong Xiaowan threw herself into Shen Shuren's arms incoherently and handed her daughter to him.

Li Xiangjun on the side was startled, and subconsciously gave up his position so that he could give up his left arm to Dong Xiaowan.

She has never seen Dong Xiaowan, when Shen Shuren bought her to do the game at the beginning of last year, Dong Xiaowan was two months pregnant, raised a baby in Suzhou, and did not come to Nanjing.

Although Li Xiangjun doesn't know the importance of Dong Xiaowan's position in the heart of the son, but if someone can give birth to a daughter for the son, this is not something that he can afford to provoke at the moment.

"You are Sister Dong? I've been listening to Childe and Sister Yuanyuan talk about you. Little sister Li Xiangjun, this is polite. ”

Dong Xiaowan straightened her sideburns, looked at Li Xiangjun helplessly for a while, and then naturally hugged the other party.

Her face is still beautiful, but her complexion is a little haggard, which should be caused by the fact that she has not fully recovered after giving birth, and the man has not been around for more than a year and is depressed.

"It turns out that you are Junjun's sister, and you will be a family in the future."

Here, Yingying and Yanyan were getting to know each other, and among the many beauties next to them, another stunning Dao robe girl who had just squeezed in and wanted to talk to her suddenly fell into embarrassment.

She is Bian Yujing, who came to find Li Xiangjun. But my sister chatted with Dong Xiaowan and hugged her affectionately, which made her very helpless, so she could only slowly squirm closer, standing cramped beside her.

Fortunately, in this group of people, the three women were there to reminisce and complain to each other, but Shen Shuren, who was not good at gossip, was left to dry.

Although he hugged left and right, he couldn't get involved in the topic of women, so he looked around there, and when he saw the girl in the Taoist robe squeezing out of the crowd, he looked at it and immediately recognized it.

He patted Li Xiangjun lightly: "Junjun, you go back to talk to Xiaowan, and Miss Bian is also coming to pick you up." ”

Li Xiangjun turned around quickly, and his eyes instantly showed intimacy: "Saisai? You're really a Dao girl! ”

Bian Yujing stroked the ribbon on the crown of his hair and smiled indifferently: "Thank you Shen Gongzi for helping me redeem myself that time." It's okay to be a Taoist aunt, after all, I am free, and when I become a Taoist aunt, I will find someone to talk about history and Taoism, and seek advice and talk, so as not to arouse suspicion and damage people's reputation. ”

Bian Yujing's words will be heard by outsiders at all, but Li Xiangjun and Shen Shuren can understand it in seconds, because they understand the context before and after.

At the beginning, Shen Shuren ransomed her, on the one hand, it was also to repay her for being responsible for Li Xiangjun's affairs, and on the other hand, it was also those things that owed her mentor Wu Meicun a big favor.

He knew that Bian Yujing had someone in his heart, and he also knew that Wu Meicun was very happy to exchange knowledge with Bian Yujing, so he gave Bian Yujing a free body and gave her a house to let her go with the flow.

As for the matter of sending a woman, Shen Shuren can't do it, this point has been said a long time ago, it is an objectified woman, he will only buy it, not sell and give it away. After giving people freedom, providing conditions to allow people to fall in love freely is already the limit of Shen Shuren.

Now it seems that Bian Yujing really gave up and became a Taoist aunt like in history, and Mr. Umemura and her are indeed just academic friends.

Whether it is Wu Meicun's wife and concubine who are strictly controlled, or he has excellent moral character, or he feels that he is old and does not want to be disrespectful to the old. Anyway, this matter has been revealed, and nothing has happened. (Actually, Wu Weiye is not very old, he is not yet forty years old.) In contrast, Qian Qianyi is sixty years old and still wants to find a concubine)

The difference is that in the original history, Bian Yujing would have to sink in the wind and dust for several years, and then he had to be a Taoist aunt, but now he rescued the sea of bitterness a few years in advance, and directly took the Taoist name as a virgin.

Li Xiangjun is also a smart person in Bingxue, where would he not understand all this, and he also affectionately pulled her to whisper at the moment: "You are alone here, why bother." After the New Year, go to Wuchang to accompany my sister.

You are still young, you don't know what you want, there are many talented people in the world, as for the debate between the past and the present, the way to observe the world and the world, in today's world, how can there be stronger than the son, he has long been out of the blue than the blue, you want to find a confidant to talk about the past and the present, isn't it just right. ”

Bian Yujing's expression was indifferent, and he smiled slightly: "Shen Gongzi is talented, and he is indeed like alcohol, which is difficult to know." Originally, my little sister hadn't read "Rizhi Shijian", but after the son redeemed her sister, I only took a look at it out of curiosity in the past six months, and it was really a theory of gold and stone that had been whipped into it.

Later, when I watched "The Theory of Thieves", I admired it even more. Anyway, the little sister is also an idle cloud and wild crane now, and she is at peace wherever she goes, so it doesn't hurt to go to Wuchang to accompany her sister, but other things should be considered in the long run. ”

Li Xiangjun was slightly surprised, staring intently at her sister's eyes, seeing some worries and scruples in her eyes, she didn't force herself.

Bian Yujing does still have a knot, she only has a little gratitude and admiration for Shen Shuren, but she can't talk about feelings. On the other hand, Bian Yujing has not completely come out of the past, and even if he occasionally comes up with bold ideas, he will be scared back by himself.

She knew that she had fantasized about Shen Shuren's mentor, even if nothing happened, she was still a virgin, but she didn't dare to face it, she didn't know if Shen Gongzi had a spiritual cleanliness habit and whether he could overcome this ordinary hurdle.

So every time a related question flashed in her mind, Bian Yujing didn't dare to think about it, and would immediately subconsciously fill her mind with other questions.

Bian Yujing and Li Xiangjun reunited after a long absence, the sisters were chatting warmly, and they were left out again on the side, Dong Xiaowan, who was listening over there with her daughter, suddenly interjected:

"This girl, do you also like to talk about the past and the present? Childe's side, there are many such confidants. I heard that the daughter of Huguang Fangfutai also likes this mouthful.

For the sake of Miss Fang, our old lady has been quite dissatisfied with Sister Xiangjun recently. When I go home and see the old lady in a while, my sister should be careful. ”
