At the end of the Shen period.

Li Weijian and Hongyu turned back to the small courtyard in the northeast, and the three maids in it had already packed their bags. Clothes, bedding, living utensils, large and small burdens were lined up, and the carriage was stuffed to the brim.

Wu Haiping scattered the money and hired a few servants to help. After a while, she packed her bags, Qingwen locked the door of the courtyard, and looked there for a long time with some reluctance, and said, "Fourth master, are we coming back?" ”

"I'm always coming back in August." Li Weijian said.

Hongyu leaned over and comforted: "What is there to be reluctant to?" Living here, the four of us have to be crammed together. Moving to the fourth master's new house is much more spacious. I heard that the fourth master's courtyard in Xiangshan has a wonderful view, so let's go over and take a look in two days. ”

"Hmm." Qingwen responded, and then turned away.

At the beginning of the unitary period, the three carriages arrived at Detai'anhou Hutong, and Wu Zhong, who was guarding in front of the door, hurriedly came over to help, and even Qian Xue, who had just moved over during the day, also helped with the bags.

Fu Qiufang stopped at the door of the instrument, asked the items in the bag one by one, and then assigned where to put them. After a while, seeing Li Weijian enter the door of the ceremony, Fu Qiufang stepped forward and bent down: "Master." ”

Li Weijian pulled her up with a smile, and said gently: "You are not feeling well, just go and rest." Qingwen and the others are all in place, and they will not go out on a business trip. ”

Fu Qiufang said, "It's okay." The master didn't say it in advance, Jia Yun went to invite a few cooks today, I took a look at each other, and left two for the time being. But there is still a lack of manpower, helping the cook, sprinkling and sweeping, and pulp washing, all of which are inseparable. Even if you move to another hospital in two days, you must bring enough manpower, otherwise you can't open it. ”

Li Weijian took her hand and walked towards the main courtyard and said, "What are you doing with so many people?" The women who were around with pulp laundry gave them the work; If you sprinkle and sweep, you have to invite two rough maids. Let's just take care of the rest. ”

Fu Qiufang was stunned, looked at Li Weijian and said, "This servant hired by foreign is different from his own family, or his own is more appropriate." ”

Li Weijian smiled and didn't reply, and Qingwen, who was beside her, said: "Sister Fu's words are wrong, most of the people in the Rongguo Mansion are born and slaved, and they all have rich and noble eyes, and the masters of the idle side branches are not in their eyes." ”

Fu Qiufang was taken aback, looked back at Qingwen and said, "Is there such a thing?" I've been to the Rongguo Mansion once, but I haven't looked at it carefully. ”

Li Weijian said: "The family is big, and the master is indulgent, can he give birth to a pair of rich eyes?" Rong Guofu has learned from the past, I would rather hire an external servant now, do a penny, and give a penny. As long as he has done the work, he does not care whether he lies down or returns home. ”

Fu Qiufang listened thoughtfully.

Rongguo Mansion has three meals and two o'clock, but Li Weijian doesn't have so many rules here, the master and servant all have three meals. The two newly hired cooks fried and fried, and worked hard to clean up the two tables of noodles, at this time there was a custom of warming the pot, but at this time the mansion had not been finished, so this meal could not be regarded as a warm pot.

Li Weijian called Fu Qiufang, Qingwen, Hongyu, Xiangling, and Xiuying to sit at a table with him, Jia Yun returned home, and Wu Haiping, Wu Zhong, and the Ding brothers sat at another table outside.

Hug Xia and Liqiu are not good at living at another table, so they have to squeeze together with two cooks.

These two chefs are good at Lu cuisine, and the dishes are still fresh at first, but they are a little salty and greasy after eating them for a long time. Xiangling couldn't stop drinking water, Qingwen frowned and ate a bite of food, always going down with chopsticks and rice.

Fu Qiufang saw it in her eyes, so she asked Qingwen and others about their daily diet, and then kept it in mind, thinking about changing to a chef who is good at Huaiyang cuisine in the future.

In the past two days, I have only temporarily stayed here, and I will go to the Xiangshan Courtyard on the first day of the new year, because many bags have not been opened. After eating and drinking, a few maids went to settle down, and Li Weijian followed Fu Qiufang to the wing.

Li Weijian has never married a wife, and he had told Fu Qiufang earlier that he would live in the main house temporarily, but Fu Qiufang, a girl, had rules in her heart, but she just shook her head and refused. In desperation, Li Weijian had no choice but to live in a wing room with her for the time being.

At this time, it was already dark outside, and there was a candle flame in the wing, and he came over to serve Fu Qiufang to change his clothes. Fu Qiufang saw Li Weijian coming over, and stopped talking in her heart, and only said after changing her clothes: "Master, I'm afraid I won't be able to serve my master today...... Why don't you go to the main room and sleep for one night first? ”

Li Weijian knows what Fu Qiufang means, and if he is a new talent, he will always raise it for a day. And he teased and was silent.

Fu Qiufang bit her lower lip and said, "I...... I'm having some trouble today. ”

Li Weijian smiled and said: "I didn't accept you to come over the door not only for the bed, don't worry, I will accompany you to talk at night." ”

Fu Qiufang breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he was deliberately teasing, and glanced at Li Weijian with disgust. Li Weijian only smiled and groaned without speaking.

Fu Qiufang was secretly eccentric in her heart, it was clear that she was much older than Li Weijian, but she couldn't notice it when she got along with her, if she didn't look at her body and face, sometimes she felt that Li Weijian seemed to be older.

As for between the sheets...... I don't know where she learned so many tricks, but yesterday she tossed her so much that her bones were scattered. I didn't get up early this morning, and I was too lazy to get up after noon. If I toss it again today, I'm afraid that tomorrow will be like this again.

I had the intention to persuade that this matter should be controlled, but Fu Qiufang carefully looked at Qingwen and the other maids, and it didn't look like they were broken...... It's quirky.

Just thinking about it, Hongyu shook herself into the side room, held the basin, and said with a smile: "Fourth master, aunt, I'll serve and wash." ”

Hug Xia was a maid for the first time, and she didn't have the eyesight or think so much. Seeing that Hongyu snatched the job, she never snatched it back, but stood by and was happy.

After serving the two of them to wash, Hongyu said a few words to Bao Xia, and Hu Xia went to rest happily.

This wing room is not as good as the main room of the small courtyard of Rongguo Mansion in the past, there is only one bed in the warm pavilion, Hongyu hugged the quilt and slept outside, only saying that if she gets up at night, she will come and serve.

From beginning to end, Hongyu never bumped into Fu Qiufang, and kept smiling, but Fu Qiufang was not very comfortable in her heart. Hongyu is not her maid, but she prefers to stay outside...... Fu Qiufang knew that this was giving her a disadvantage.

Among the four maids beside the master, Qingwen is clever and romantic, and she is the most scheming; Xiangling stayed, some of them were at ease with what happened; Xiu Yinghan, wild temperament; Only this red jade has a lot of scheming, and it is not a good match.

After thinking about it, Hongyu will have her own housemother to clean up in the future, so why should she be nosy? As long as it doesn't get in her way.

In this day and night, Li Weijian really didn't move, only hugged Fu Qiufang and slept together. Xu was tossing too much the night before, Fu Qiufang slept until dawn, and when she got up, she was in a trance for a while, and then she caught a glimpse that Li Weijian was no longer beside her.

There was a trembling wooden knife fighting sound in the courtyard, Fu Qiufang got up and put on her clothes, looked through the window, and saw Li Weijian, who was dressed in a short fight, fighting with Xiuying with a knife.

Yes, the old man once said that he has to practice every day at home. It's a good habit, no wonder he can toss so much at night...... Secretly took a sip, Xu is resting properly, Fu Qiufang is a lot more refreshed today.

Dressed neatly, ordered the maid to hug Xia, and hurriedly arranged various tasks with the new housekeeper Qian Xue. She went to the kitchen again to talk to the two cooks, and the breakfast was a little lighter.

Since it is no longer two meals or three o'clock, the time of the main meal will naturally change. When the hour was near, a few maids brought out a few dishes from the kitchen.

Li Weijian ate no different from yesterday, but a few maids were full of praise. Li Weijian thought about it, but he would like to invite a few more cooks to come back, so he is not afraid of getting tired of eating.

After eating breakfast and resting slightly, Li Weijian went to the inner mansion first. Today, King Zhongyong is not there, only Liang Langzhong is guarding in the yamen. Li Weijian talked with Liang Langzhong for a long time, and only then did he say that the autumn was imminent, and he was going to live in Xiangshan Courtyard for a while, and if there was anything, he could send someone to Xiangshan to find him.

Liang Langzhong should accept it, and said that he would tell King Zhongyong when he turned around.

Out of the inner mansion, Li Weijian went to the military academy for a walk, and Director Chen came out to receive him for a long time.

When he saw Li Weijian, he complained: "Li Xiucai, it's really difficult to do that work, even the work and materials, this time it was a draw, and there was no penny left." ”

Li Weijian said with a smile: "If the money is not enough, I can add more." It's just the same, quality and quantity, and as soon as possible. ”

Director Chen said with a bitter face: "There is no need to add money, many objects have to be re-molded, I just hope that Li Xiucai will make more money in the future, so that my armed forces academy can make some money." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say."

Director Chen said: "Most of the carved work is done, and only the valve is not easy to dispose of." Li Xiu only came back in ten days and half a month, and he couldn't say that it would be built. ”

Li Weijian thought about it slightly, which was just right. After half a month of returning, when the house is renovated, the milk should be sent to Jingshi.

Bidding farewell to Chief Chen, Li Weijian returned to the inner city again, and arrived at Yan's Mansion just after noon.

Recently, Yan Fengzhen was still thinking hard at home about how to change the rifling broaching bed, and when he saw Li Weijian, he made fun and teased him.

The second son's family education is very strict, and when he was twenty years old, he opened meat at Le Yan's place. Because it's a little sour when he talks.

encountered such a shameless person as Li Weijian, no matter how he joked, Li Weijian was not annoyed, but it was not interesting to make Yan Fengzhen trouble. After more than half an hour, Yan Xiyao returned home, and Li Weijian went to the study to talk to the teacher.

Recently, Chen Hongmou has become more and more repulsive to dissidents, and yesterday Yan Xiyao wrote a letter to impeach the great Sikong Gu Weiyue Yonglu, shelving Li Weijian's range table, and instead using Qin Tianjian's old range table, Gu Weiyue had to obediently go home and write a book to defend himself.

Without Gu Weiyue, the old fox, as a helper, although Chen Hongmou was domineering, he couldn't help Yan Xiyao for a while. The banner of his mentor Yan Xiyao can be regarded as a new one, because recently, many officials in the DPRK and China who are not treated well by the New Party have gradually moved closer to Yan Xiyao, and they have faintly become a different faction.

Li Weijian just heard about it, and he always felt that the teacher Yan Xiyao still had a backhand. However, the teacher's plan is very far, and he doesn't know where Yan Xiyao is coming from.

On this day, Yan Xiyao did not say anything about the government, but only instructed Li Weijian to improve the cannon rack as soon as possible. He entered the palace today, and faintly noticed that Emperor Zhenghe, who had endured for several years, was afraid that he couldn't help it.

As long as the grain is put into storage this autumn and autumn, it will be transported to the northwest and reserved for the expedition of the army in the coming year.

"In the summer and autumn of next year, the great war will begin! I think that the saint has the intention of finishing his work in one battle, but I am afraid that it is not a good thing. ”

Li Weijian suddenly frowned, and said: "Last year, there was a drought in the north and a flood in the south, and natural disasters lasted for many years, so I always had to recuperate for two years before I could conquer the Western Regions, why did the saint become so anxious?" ”

Yan Xiyao didn't say anything, raised his hand and pointed to the top of his head, and then to his feet. Li Weijian thoughtfully...... Yes, although Taishang abdicated, he has always been in collusion with the courtiers. I heard that the loyal and obedient king has not stopped recently, and he has entered the palace several times in front of the Taishang.

Although the saint could not hold the handle of the loyal king, this move also put great pressure on the saint. In other words, if you can afford to put it down, you can cut through the mess quickly, and send the two of you directly to the temple, and you cherish your reputation very much. In this way, he was bound and counted on military merits to quell civil strife and suppress the courtiers with great achievements.

"Teacher, it's the King of Loyalty and Courage who will lead the troops next year?"

Yan Xiyao bowed his head and said: "The Jingshi is unstable, the saint will always sit in the Jingshi, except for the Zhongyong King, who else can he trust today?" It's just that King Zhongyong is short of age, so he is afraid that there will be a battle of will, and he will fall into the tricks of the Dzungar thief. ”

Leading troops to fight, Li Weijian is a layman, but he is not easy to beak. Just thinking about turning back and trying to arm the Dashun army as well as possible, and persuading the Zhongyong King to act cautiously, it is expected that he will not be able to win, and he will not repeat the old things that the entire army was wiped out before.

Wrong!

Li Weijian thought about it and felt that it was inappropriate! He entered the Rongguo Mansion for a few months, but he felt that this Red Mansion seemed to be a little different from the TV series he watched, although there was a famine, but he had never reached the situation of the people in the later stage of the TV series and the chaos in the world.

After a cursory calculation, if the loyal and brave kings are defeated in the northwest, the foundation of the current army will be shaken, and the new policy will not be implemented...... Isn't it just going to be chaos in the world?

Yan Xiyao observed his words and looked at his expression, and when he saw his frowning, he asked, "What did you remember about resurrection?" ”

Li Weijian came back to his senses and said, "Teacher, this Dashun can't be defeated." ”

Yan Xiyao just shook his head.

Everyone understands the truth, but the problem is that no one can persuade the saints nowadays. Li Weijian couldn't help but feel anxious, if this defeat was made, then his plan to implement the industrial revolution would be in vain. Not only that, life in troubled times is not as good as dogs, without the protection of Jinshang and the loyal and brave king, where can he Li Weijian still keep his wealth today?

I wanted to toss out the water company and the coal company to relieve the difficulty of the imperial court's lack of money, so I took this opportunity to enter the house, and then secretly promoted the industrial revolution. Unexpectedly, because of this move, the sage had plenty of money in his hands, and he moved the mind of going west again.

Now Emperor Zhenghe can't persuade anyone, but this matter is unpredictable. After a while, Li Weijian calmed down, thinking that there was still a year left and right, and he calmly laid out, and he always wanted to make Dashun undefeated this time.
