Chapter 197: There is a beginning and an end
In the less than ten days of waiting for the holy decree, Shen Shuren saw the needles and hurriedly turned around the counties on the boundary of Wuchang Prefecture.
It sorted out the institutional construction work on the resettlement of displaced people and the legislation on cantonment reclamation, and also accepted three new armaments, including forged steel bulletproof breastplates, laboratory-made nitrocellulose propellants, and absorbent cotton gauze.
After all, he didn't give Song Yingxing much time, from April to now, just over seven months, it is already remarkable to be able to drum up these scientific and technological innovations.
Shen Shuren stayed in Daye County until November 27, and in the evening, after finishing the complicated internal affairs work, Shen Shuren was eating and chatting with Fang Yizhi, thinking about what else needed to be inspected and filled in the gaps in the follow-up.
As a result, a team of Shen family's henchmen and messengers hurried to Daye and begged to see the young master overnight, which also interrupted the relatively idle days of the Shen Shuren:
"Childe, the capital is urgent, Your Majesty's envoy to seal your title, as well as the father and daughter of Governor Fang, the day should have passed Tongbai Mountain and arrived in Suizhou. In about two days, you will be able to reach Wuchang.
We rushed in advance, changed horses without changing people, and after landing from Huainan, we came to report the news first. ”
If the envoys and officials from the capital want to go to Wuchang, if they are not in a hurry, they can go to Hefei Anqing in the east to enter the Yangtze River, and then go upstream, without going to the mountainous and steep places.
If you are in a hurry, then only the Huaibei part north of Xinyang, there is a waterway to go, you can use the canal, once you enter the Huai, you can only change to the land route, by Xinyang Road over Tongbai Mountain to copy the shortcut.
Therefore, the emergency messenger of the Shen family, before arriving at the Huai River, moved at the same speed as Fang Kongzhi's family and the messenger of the decree, and occasionally had to take a boat. After abandoning the ship and landing on the shore, he hurried and ran for two days. For ordinary people who don't rush it, the last stretch of the road may take four or five days.
Shen Shuren and Fang Yizhi listened, and glanced at each other tacitly: "I'll hand it over to Mr. Song here, and we'll go back to Jiangxia County early tomorrow morning." ”
……
Daye is only sixty miles away from Jiangxia County, and the group set off early the next morning, and returned to Jiangxia County before noon, and could still catch up with the home for dinner.
In the governor's yamen, those henchmen of Shen Shuren also got the news in advance, knowing that the young master was preparing to receive the order, and he was too busy to do it.
At lunchtime, Chen Yuanyuan, Dong Xiaowan, and Li Xiangjun all came to accompany him and serve him for dinner. The expressions of the three girls were a little solemn, and Chen Yuanyuan was helping to pick up the vegetables, and at the same time knocked worriedly:
"Childe, I heard that Your Majesty gave you the surname of the country so that when you marry the little county lord of the Lu Wangfu family in the future, you can avoid the suspicion of being involved and save some face for both families? Congratulations to the son, it's time for a young grandmother to help take care of the mess of this inner house. ”
Shen Shuren was eating fish, and the fish was deftly picked out by Li Xiangjun to remove the thorns one by one, leaving the pure meat, and then serving him to chew and swallow slowly, he heard the hidden worries when he heard the words, and couldn't help but put down the fast son, put his hands around Chen Yuanyuan and Li Xiangjun, and comforted him:
"What? Worried? This sounds insincere, I want to marry a wife after all. But I will not fail you in this life, this is also inevitable, and it will always let you have a beginning and an end. ”
Dong Xiaowan was on the side, dressed in moon-white plain color, and she didn't come to be obsessed, she was different from Chen Yuanyuan and Li Xiangjun in this life. Because of the rescue of Shen Shuren, Dong Xiaowan has never fallen into those occasions where she welcomes people with a smile, just the daughter of a bankrupt rich businessman. So in broad daylight, she can't do the things that obsesse with her master with other women, and she would rather wait and see what happens.
After all, Chen Yuanyuan and Li Xiangjun were redeemed by the Shen Shu people, so they didn't have so many etiquette concerns. The second daughter was quickly appeased by Shen Shuren and turned red, her peach color flushed, and she just whispered in a greasy voice:
"The slave family is really happy for the son, how can he not want to. With such an identity, talent and character, Childe deserves to be served by as many women as he wants, and the county lord is worthy of it, even the princess. It's just that...... I don't know how old the little county lord of Luwangfu is, is he a powerful person? ”
Shen Shuren laughed: "I was worried about this, don't worry, the little county lord will be sixteen years old at most after the New Year, and he has not been familiar with the world since he was a child, and he has no city government, nor is he the temperament to make things difficult with others." As long as you don't offend her, she won't be too lazy to be jealous. ”
Hearing that the little county lord was so young and didn't understand anything, the third daughter was relieved, but Chen Yuanyuan was still a little ashamed, subconsciously stroked his cheeks, and said to himself:
"That's three or four years younger than the slave family, this is really nothing to worry about, and the slave family will definitely decline and love to relax in the future."
Among the three women of Shen Shuren, Chen Yuanyuan is the oldest, and he will be twenty years old next year. Dong Xiaowan is a few months younger than her, and Li Xiangjun is more than a year younger, so by next year, the youngest among them will also be eighteen.
Other families marry wives first, and after the wife is old and decrepit, and then find a young one as a concubine, the wife has a sense of crisis.
The Shen family is just the opposite, Shen Shuren has worked hard until he is twenty-three years old before he can officially marry a wife, and before that, the concubines around him have served him for four or five years.
In order not to block his future wife, and in order not to cause trouble to the family, in the past few years, Shen Shuren has deliberately tried to stagger the time, if it is not for a long time to reunite and urgently need comfort, he usually chooses a relatively safe day.
Chen Yuanyuan and Li Xiangjun are not like easy to conceive, so that they have been safe for two or three years, only Dong Xiaowan gave birth to a daughter for him, who is almost two years old.
In the face of Chen Yuanyuan's grievances, Shen Shuren is of course very responsible: "I don't have any color decay and love here!" I'm not a vulgar fan of you people at all.
You have either shared hardships with me, or helped me in my career, and you are all quite talented and knowledgeable, and it is rare for a few women in the world to know me and know my ambitions, what do you have to worry about. ”
The girls were coaxed very happily at this time, and they didn't say anything jealous about the scenery, but just quietly buried their heads in the chest of the Shen Shuren and quietly enjoyed this moment.
was teased by them, Shen Shuren remembered something, and reminded: "Speaking of the little county lord of Luwangfu, since she is not opposed to marriage, she must also have a good impression of me."
When I think of it, it may have been that I showed off some musical insights in front of King Lu and the county lord, which made them feel quite refreshed. I chatted with the little lord a few times, but I couldn't get around the rhythm. Up and down the Luwang Mansion, it is really a good sound and a crazy rhythm.
For the sake of harmony in the future, if you are free, you should still point out and correct my piano skills, not to be perfect, at least to put the dragon gate array to get through, so as not to be a good master.
You yourself, you should also read more "Guyin Zhengzong" written by King Lu, and think about it carefully, and when the little county lord enters the door, you should ask her for advice, maybe she will really treat you as sisters. You enter the door first, and even if you don't have a name, you won't be troubled. ”
All the women nodded yes one after another, and each silently kept these precautions in mind.
……
The women learned that the little county lord could be officially married at any time, and the days of freedom and freedom in front of them were not cared for, but one day was less.
And it is very likely that the son will be sent out on business at any time, and he doesn't know how many days he will be at home, so he will inevitably welcome him, serve well, and cherish every opportunity very much.
The next day, Li Xiangjun thought of her good sister, who was still alone as a female layman, and remembered what her son-in-law said, "Before entering the door of the little county lord, it will not be deliberately difficult", she was also a little anxious and enthusiastic about matchmaking.
No woman likes to share her husband with others, but when her status is humble, if she can have a best friend with the strongest relationship to bear it and help each other together, there will still be weak women to consider.
Li Xiangjun and Bian Yujing can also be regarded as having endured hardships together since childhood, and have been trained and trained together as thin horses for many years, and this sisterly friendship is definitely not fake.
So she went out early in the morning and found Bian Yujing's residence.
Bian Yujing has been in Wuchang for a year, and the place where she lives is an idle courtyard provided by Shen Shuren casually, but this year it has also been taken care of under Bian Yujing's own aesthetic design.
Especially in the garden, planted with a full bamboo forest, now the winter trees withered, but the bamboo forest is still green, but most of the bamboo leaves are withered, more than one pole upright and bleak.
When Shen Shuren was out on the road, Li Xiangjun was bored living in the house, and he would often run to Bian Yujing, but the sisterhood was not unfamiliar at all. At this moment, Bian Yujing was not surprised at all when he saw Li Xiangjun coming, but he felt that Li Xiangjun had wasted a good time.
She teased jokingly: "Young, my sister is still here on this kind of day, didn't I hear that Shen Gongzi has returned to Wuchang, the Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, and the Spring Festival is worth at least five hundred gold." ”
Li Xiangjun also pretended to have a straight face, and touched Bian Yujing's cheek: "See that I don't treat you with a rotten little hoof, I dare to make fun of my sister with this,
Go back and get you into the house, let Sister Yuanyuan make rules for you, and from then on, everything you say and do will be restrained, which is called reporting in my eyes. ”
Although Bian Yujing is still a virgin, after all, he was trained since he was a child, even if he has only sold and sung, his face is not thin, and he doesn't care when he is said like this: "My sister is not afraid of multiple people sharing favors, but my little sister can't ask for it." ”
Li Xiangjun: "Really? Figured it out? Don't practice your Taoism anymore? Anyway, I'm not kidding you, I'm here today, it's also a matter of burning my eyebrows. In your life, do you want to follow Childe forever?
If you want to, stop being hypocritical, and Childe won't blame you for having someone else in your heart. When you followed Miss Fang to help Childe write the record book of those thieves, it can be seen that you also have a deep understanding of Childe's talent and learning concept, and it is not good to help him read at night with red sleeves and fragrance from then on.
If you hesitate any longer, after the New Year, the son may be given marriage and marry with Luwangfu. When the time comes, if we from humble backgrounds want to enter the door again, it will inevitably be humiliating to the lord of the palace, so it is better to hurry up and cook raw rice and mature rice. ”
Li Xiangjun said it so red, Rao is Bian Yujing is used to laughing with her, and it is inevitable that she can't bear it, and her face turns red subconsciously.
Then, she remembered a question again, and couldn't help but ask: "Do you want to be with the county lord of the palace?" What about the girl? At the beginning, we worked with Miss Fang to help Childe write a record book, and you and I can see that Miss Fang is afraid that she also pays close attention to Childe.
At the beginning, she was thinking about it every day, how to add fuel and vinegar to "The Theory of Thieves" and "The Theory of Thieves Continuation" to better hit the morale of the thieves, I think she is so attentive every day, if it is empty in the end, can she stand it? ”
Li Xiangjun was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "Take care of yourself!" Gongzi told me last night that His Majesty would not agree to the Fang family marrying him, and when he saw Governor Fang being appointed as the Governor of Sichuan, he knew what His Majesty was thinking. If Miss Fang has a relationship with him, she can only wait for another opportunity in the future. ”
Bian Yujing also felt a little sorry, half a year ago, she still regarded Fang Ziling as a future young grandmother, and often took care of each other's feelings when they created together, picking good things to say. In her heart, she may not have the intention of pleasing Fang Ziling, and waiting for Fang Ziling to enter the door in the future.
Now it seems that we can only take care of each of them first.
