Kwon Min-a's sudden appearance didn't even surprise Xu Huabiao, let alone Li Xiuman, who had been busy training the navy recently.

Of course, there are subtle differences in their attitudes towards Kwon Min-ah's visit.

Xu Huabiao was surprised, and Li Xiuman was overjoyed......

I've just dug the lake here, and I've only been training soldiers for a month, and Jingzhou is already about to surrender?

That's going too well, right?

As a result, Li Xiuman seems to have begun to enter the expansion cycle again......

Of course, Xu Huabiao found out, and he wouldn't stop it, this was what he wanted.

In the days after returning from Xuanwu Lake, Li Xiuman was busy receiving Kwon Min'a and discussing Jingzhou's affairs with her, while Xu Huabiao's energy was placed in a small courtyard less than two miles outside Yecheng.

A group of orphans who were only twelve or thirteen years old from all over Jizhou were sent here.

In fact, he didn't want to do this, he still preferred to pay attention to the dynamics in Jingzhou, after all, if Park Zhenying controlled Jingzhou as he knew, and in the future on the bank of the Yangtze River, he would be completely unable to do anything in it.

And that is the most suitable time for Xu Huabiao to choose for himself in his heart!

But he can't let Park Zhenying be strangled directly by both sides with the surrender of Jingzhou, because without Park Zhenying, relying on Kim Ji-ni and Dongyong Bae Kwon Zhilong alone, Xu Huabiao doesn't think he can stop Li Xiuman......

It's just that he really can't help but pay attention to that small courtyard.

Some time ago, Li Yunxi, who didn't listen to anything outside the window at home and only looked at the baby in front of him, moved out of Yecheng and lived in this small courtyard with extremely shabby conditions.

really did what she said, the young and the young.

It's very touching, but it's also very frustrating.

As a result, Xu Huabiao could only take one or two hours a day to run from Yecheng to this courtyard to see his second wife, and then watch her lead a large group of children who called her mother there to practice the most basic skills of the dance and music yamen......

To be honest, compared to Xu Huabiao, who always talks about the people of the world, but actually cares more about himself, Li Yunxi is the one who really feels sorry for others!

Seeing Li Yunxi treating those children so seriously, Xu Huabiao suddenly understood what kind of mood Park Zhenying was in when he looked at him......

Man is better than man!

In addition, every once in a while, he will be "invited" by Li Xiuman to go to the shore of Xuanwu Lake to see the construction progress of Tongquetai and the training status of the sailors, always tossing, Xu Huabiao's energy is scattered, naturally, he needs more time to deal with various problems, so he is not very well rested for the next period of time.

Thanks to Pei Zhuxun, who is helping him solve problems, sorting out and analyzing information, otherwise it is estimated that Xu Huabiao will be tired of picking a child.

In this way, a month passed.

After fierce bargaining, Kwon Min-ah was content to embark on the road back to Jingzhou.

She got the same treatment and promise as Xuzhou Jin Hyunya: The affairs of Jingzhou will still be up to you Jingzhou scholars in the future, if you want to come to the central government, I will arrange it, I feel that my homeland is difficult to leave, and I will not do anything to you.

This has exceeded Kwon Min-ah's psychological expectations a lot, and her waist is very straight.

Of course, she didn't forget to come to Xu Huabiao to express her gratitude.

If it weren't for Xu Huabiao's reminder, she would never have thought that the first thing she would do after seeing Li Xiuman was to kneel down and apologize to Li Xiuman, she shouldn't have stopped Wancheng from surrendering.

And sure enough, after hearing those words, Lee so-man's trust in Kwon Min-ah became very high......

Just like Xu Huabiao said, Li Xiuman doesn't care, but you can't forget.

This time, Kwon Min'a's sincerity was exchanged for the result that such a Jingzhou scholar was enough to wake up from a dream in the middle of the night, and Xu Huabiao was also kind to them.

And Xu Huabiao did not blindly take credit.

"After you go back, you still have to be careful of Park Jin-young, he will never surrender to the prime minister again, if the news of your surrender is reported back, he may rebel immediately, and when the time comes...... Your situation may be a little troublesome, and it is best to limit Shin Jimin's actions as soon as possible, if she falls into the hands of Park Jin-young, she will have the reputation of righteousness...... Then you're in trouble. ”

Xu Huabiao still hasn't forgotten to dig out his heart and lungs with Kwon Min-ah.

Of course, it's also a favor.

After hearing Xu Huabiao's words, Kwon Min-ah, who was also a little fluttering after being in a good mood, immediately became down-to-earth.

Then he didn't care about the banquet with more Li Xiuman's subordinates in Yecheng, and returned to Jingzhou as quickly as possible.

And after dealing with the affairs of Xuanwu Lake, and watching Li Xiuman start to train the water army, Xu Huabiao is almost time to return to Luoyang.

Although Li Xiuman didn't seem to want him to go back......

"Brother-in-law, my father asked me to send you something here."

In the lobby of the Hussar General's Mansion, Cui Xueli said to Xu Huabiao with a smile.

“…… What! Is this kind of thing worth a trip to Shirley? ”

"I haven't seen Sister Yuna in a while! I heard that you are planning to go back to Luoyang, my lord? ”

"Well, the princess's fetus is stable, take advantage of this time to go back quickly, it's too late to give birth, and I don't know how long it will be delayed." Xu Huabiao smiled.

"You can be born directly in Yecheng!"

"Although it's not impossible, but those orphans outside the city, it's better to bring them back to Luoyang to be settled, always on the side of Yecheng, and I don't know if it's my adopted child, or the prime minister's adoption." Xu Huabiao shook his head with a smile, "Moreover, my daughters are homesick, I'd better take them back!" ”

"Xuan Yuzhen and Sailun? I saw them go out of town to play the other day......"

"It was because I went out of the city to play, I was scolded by Yun'er, and then I cried and pestered me and said that I wanted to go back to Luoyang." Xu Huabiao had a doting expression on his face, "There's no way, being a father always can't beat his daughter!" ”

"That's right." Cui Xueli obviously thought of her father, and nodded with a smile.

"So please go back and talk to the prime minister, I will leave for Luoyang in four days. If anything happens in the future, send someone to Luoyang to call me over. ”

"Brother-in-law, what did you say! Father wouldn't have done that to you! Cui Xueli immediately waved her hand, "Actually, I came to find your brother-in-law today, I wrote a fu, and I didn't plan to take it out so early, but since my brother-in-law is leaving, ......"

"What's the endowment?" Xu Huabiao looked curious.

This is not pretending, Cui Xueli's literary brilliance, Xu Huabiao admires from the heart.

This has to start from more than two months ago, when Li Xiuman just started to practice water masters.

When Li Xiuman arranged for Li Taimin to go to the Governor's Navy Drill as the person in charge, Cui Xueli was probably picked up by Jin Yilin and ran to Xu Huabiao's side.

After all, the army belongs to Lee Taemin and the government belongs to Zheng Yunhao, if Cui Xueli doesn't work hard to manage her good popularity, her situation in this battle for the heir will become extremely embarrassing.

And that day, in addition to Xu Huabiao and Lin Yuner, Cui Xueli also met Zhou Jieqiong, who was quietly raising the fetus after pregnancy.

Because she is pregnant, Xu Huabiao doesn't have to worry about Zhou Jieqiong about anything, in addition to eating and resting every day, she quietly watches a group of children play, and then plays cards......

Don't be in good spirits.

If the spirit is good, the whole person is good.

In addition, Zhou Jieqiong was also very beautiful......

and her status as a princess...... Ahem.

After Cui Xueli saw Zhou Jieqiong, she was shocked.

Then he raised the pen and swayed a long fu.

Well, that fu is slightly different from a certain fu in Xu Huabiao's impression, but the main part has a surprising overlap.

What is like a dragon, what is Lingbo Weibu Luo socks dust......

Then the name of this Fu is called Luo Shen Fu.

said that Zhou Jieqiong was the goddess of Luoshui...... Ahem.

It is conceivable that I usually don't hear Xu Huabiao praise her for being beautiful, but in fact, I don't know how good-looking Zhou Jieqiong is.

His face was red with excitement for several days.

even ran to Xu Huabiao when no one was around, and asked Xu Huabiao if she could help Cui Xueli, she felt that it was better to let Cui Xueli inherit Li Xiuman than Zheng Yunhao......

Ahem.

can make Zhou Jieqiong, who has always been calm, lose her mind, and I have to say that Cui Xueli's literary talent is really worthy of being called a talented person.

This forced Xu Huabiao to rummage through the cabinets and come up with a song from his mind: "There is a beautiful woman in the north, peerless and independent, one cares about the city, and then the country, would you rather not know the city and the country?" Beautiful women are hard to come by. came out to calm Zhou Jieqiong down.

Well, this song Xu Huabiao sang to Zhou Jieqiong, and Xu Huabiao's ugly singing voice should also help Zhou Jieqiong calm down.

Although Xu Huabiao was a little embarrassed by this incident, if Cui Xueli didn't write something to cause trouble for herself, he would still be happy to see the excitement.

"My father was ordered to build Tongque Tai this time, and I wrote a Tongque Tai Fu." Cui Xueli said to Xu Huabiao with a smile: "I originally wanted to wait until the completion of Tongque Terrace to take it out for my father and Lord Xu to enjoy, but Lord Xu is planning to leave, so I'll take it for Lord Xu to taste first!" ”

As she spoke, Cui Xueli took out a roll of paper from her arms.

With Juanxiu's handwriting on it, a piece of fu is written.

Xu Huabiao watched it from beginning to end.

"How?" Cui Shirley's tone was full of anticipation and excitement.

It's a bit like a treasure child.

"Good article!" Xu Huabiao nodded seriously.

“…… Sir, are you serious? Cui Xueli's expression was slightly embarrassed.

No, it's not like I haven't seen the look you had when you read my good article, not like it is now!

"Of course! Just like the Fu you wrote for Jieqiong, it is almost the pinnacle in one aspect. Xu Huabiao handed the paper roll back to Cui Xueli with a serious face.

"One aspect?"

"Sing praises to virtue."

“…… This article was mainly written for my father. Cui Xueli lowered her voice and told the truth a little embarrassed.

"I know. But ......" Xu Huabiao smiled and lowered his voice, "Is there no one around your father who sings praises to him?" Even if you stand out in this group, how much it means! ”

"Please show me Lord Xu, I should ......" Cui Xueli heard Xu Huabiao say this, and immediately became serious, and arched her hand at Xu Huabiao.

"Kwon Min-a is here, and the matter in Jingzhou is basically over." Xu Huabiao sighed softly, "The rest of Yangzhou Yizhou and Jiaozhou are just grasshoppers after the autumn, and it hasn't been a few days. ”

“…… Calm down the father? But I'm not in a position to say that, am I? ”

"You! You are your father's daughter!! Xu Huabiao's face was furious, "Your sister is far away in Luoyang now, and you are the only daughter by his side!" What is a daughter? Father's little padded jacket! Do you understand? You have to be caring!! Compared to how many feats he has made, only you will care if he is tired or not, and what he wants! ”

“……”

"Do you know what life your father wanted to live?" Xu Huabiao saw that Cui Xueli was silent, and continued, "In addition to being a great hero that everyone admires, he is also an ordinary person!" You have to pay more attention to the parts of his heart that are not heroes. ”

"Lord Xu is right." Cui Xueli continued to nod seriously.

"I went to Xuanwu Lake a few days ago and saw a newly built waterway between Shuijun Dazhai and Tongquetai?" Xu Huabiao suddenly seemed to have a jump in his thinking, and talked about other things.

"My father felt that it was inappropriate to make the Water Army Dazhai a part of Tongquetai, and it was strange to build a wall to separate Tongquetai, so Master Wu Shengya suggested that a waterway be used to separate it, and then build two bridges on it, so that it would not look like a whole, and it would not seem so alienated." Cui Shirley nodded, "What?" ”

"That's your father's state of mind! The family is the world, the home is the family, the country is the country, the world is the world! ”

“……”

"How about I give you a sentence?"

"Ahh Lord Xu, please! ”

"The second bridge is in the southeast, and the joy is shared day and night." Xu Huabiao put on a literati posture.

Be quiet.

"Thank you, sir." Cui Xueli gave a student salute to Xu Huabiao.

"Don't! Your brother has tried to worship me as a teacher several times but has not succeeded, so don't learn this set! ”

"Brother-in-law, you are my teacher!"

“…… Forget it, I won't admit it if you go out anyway. ”

Xu Huabiao smiled and waved his hand.

……
