Chapter 159 Qinhuai Gold Powder
This time back to Nanjing, Shen Shuren brought a carload of to-do items, so he was destined to be extremely busy.

Zhou Yanru and other upstart Beijing officials who are about to go north need to make connections, Lin Chenggong's final plan to persuade him to surrender, the case of Jiangxi bandit tyrants needs to be determined, and Shen Shuren's next stage of work needs to be run as an official...

Shen Shuren even thought about whether he should help his father's work of transforming the water transport to the sea, and then give a hand to resettle more people who have changed jobs.

Or take advantage of this spring when the Bohai Sea thaws and transports grain to the north again, to see if there is a chance to rescue some remnants of Hong Chengchou who are about to collapse at this moment in history——

The field part of the Songshan battle commanded by Hong Chengchou had already been defeated several months ago. It was after Shen Shuren killed Erhe and settled the Zhang Xianzhong case last year, around late autumn.

Several of Hong Chengchou's most unsteady generals, such as Wang Pu, Ma Ke, Tang Tong, etc., have also broken up and fled back.Wu Sangui's integrity seems to be stronger than the above three people. He only retreated to Shanhaiguan in the second stage.

Four of the eight generals escaped and two died. Now only Hong Chengchou himself and the last two more die-hard generals are left, guarding Songshan, Xingshan, Tashan and other strong counties and fortresses.

And these cities have been besieged by Huang Taiji for at least three or four months now.The current Qing army doesn't seem to have much experience with the heavily fortified city.It may also be because the Ming army starved to death and rebelled by relying on the siege and lack of food, and was too lazy to waste too many lives of the Eight Banners.

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 they were breached successively, or were successfully attacked by storm, or surrendered due to wavering due to lack of supplies.

Now even with the butterfly effect of Shen Shuren, the overall situation in the north should not be changed. We can only talk about seeing if there is a chance to do something at that time.

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

The Shen family has the control over the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea, and there are far more water transport ships than in the same period in history, so it is good to take care of them.

……

After sorting it out in this way, Shen Shuren's return to Nanjing this time is really complicated, he has a lot of things to do, and there are too many things to do.

But even so, when he stepped onto the pier of the Qinhuai River, he still felt a little dazed and unreal.

It has been 15 years since Chongzhen, and the situation on all fronts of Ming Dynasty is so precarious—at least except for the front where Shen Shuren personally sits and intervenes, the other fronts are all in jeopardy.

But in the city of Nanjing, there is still no trace of tension, and it is much more peaceful than Beijing.

The literati are still singing the wind and playing the moon there, as if at the mouth of the Qinhuai River, this world has been cast a barrier that isolates all bloody and helpless.

As far as Shen Shuren looked, he couldn't help wondering: Is this the Qinhuai River or the Styx River?On the other side of the river is hell, but on the other side of the river is Elysion?
Just as dazed as Shen Shuren, there were Chen Yuanyuan and Li Xiangjun sticking to his side.

The two beauties have also seen the prosperity of Qinhuai gold powder for many years, and followed Shen Shuren to a bitter cold and remote place for a year and a half before they washed away the glitz and barely managed to live a bit of hardship with them.

Now that they revisited their old place, they couldn't help but get wet at the corners of their eyes, not only thinking of the original helplessness, the current luck, and the fetters of sisters.

The pier was bustling with people, so Chen Yuanyuan and Li Xiangjun could only tighten their caps, stay close to their son, and hide in his cloak to avoid being crowded by outsiders.

There are too many dignitaries in Nanjing, and there are many people who are bigger than the governor. Besides, Shen Shuren is just a Daoist, so he doesn't have the energy to directly hire the pier to clear the road.

More importantly, his temporary resignation and return to Nanjing this time is not a serious court arrangement, summoned by the superior, it is better to keep a low profile.

On the pier, there were already relatives and friends of the Shen family waiting to greet them, and when they saw the boat with the big flag of Shen's character come to a stop, they immediately looked forward to crowding around, and there were many beautiful women among them.

All of a sudden, the fragrant wind blows, gentle and compelling, which is a spectacle.

Shen Shuren only felt his eyes flicker, and noticed that surrounded by beautiful maidservants, a stunning beauty in a white robe for a month, with a small waist and a small waist, was Dong Xiaowan.She held a baby in one hand, opened an umbrella with the other hand, and stood pretty in the falling snowflakes.

Dong Xiaowan was also looking at him, her eyes were burning, her tenderness was like water, and in the next second, she was walking towards him, her pace was fast, but she was very careful, lest she might fall the child, in order to avoid getting in the way, she didn't leave In a few steps, the umbrella covering the snow was lost.

"Young master, I want to kill my slave family. This time I can't leave my slave family behind. By the way, look at my daughter. She just turned [-] 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 Dong Xiaowan could rely on the young master's left arm.

She had never met Dong Xiaowan. When Shen Shuren bought her to play games early last year, Dong Xiaowan was two months pregnant and was raising a baby in Suzhou, so she did not come to Nanjing.

Although Li Xiangjun didn't know the importance of Dong Xiaowan's position in the young master's heart, but he was able to give birth to a daughter for the young master, which was not something he could afford to offend.

"You are Sister Dong? I've been hearing about you from Young Master and Sister Yuanyuan all the time. Younger sister Li Xiangjun, please be polite."

Dong Xiaowan straightened her temple hair, looked at Li Xiangjun for a while at a loss, and then hugged Li Xiangjun naturally.

Her face is still beautiful, but her complexion is a little haggard, which should be caused by her not fully recovered after giving birth, and the depression caused by the absence of the man for more than a year.

"It turns out that you are sister Junjun, and you will be a family from now on."

Here, Yingying and Yanyan are getting to know each other. Among the crowd of beauties, another girl in Taoist robes who just squeezed in and wanted to talk to her suddenly fell into embarrassment.

She is Bian Yujing, who is here to find Li Xiangjun.But her elder sister chatted with Dong Xiaowan and even hugged her intimately, which made her very at a loss, so she could only squirm slowly and stand aside awkwardly.

Fortunately, in this group of people, the three women were reminiscing about the old days and telling each other their hearts, but Shen Shuren, who was not good at gossip, was left alone.

Although he hugged left and right, he didn't get involved in the topic of women, so he just looked around and saw the girl in Taoist robe squeezed out of the crowd. He took a closer look and recognized it immediately.

He patted Li Xiangjun lightly: "Junjun, you and Xiaowan will talk again when you go back, and soon Miss Bian is here to pick you up."

Li Xiangjun turned around quickly, and the intimacy was naturally revealed in his eyes instantly: "Sai Sai? You are really a Taoist nun!"

Bian Yujing stroked the streamer on his crown, and smiled coolly and indifferently: "I would also like to thank Mr. Shen for helping me redeem my body that time. It doesn't matter if I become a Taoist nun, after all, I am free. After becoming a Taoist nun, I will find someone to talk about history." Do not arouse suspicion and damage people's reputation."

What Bian Yujing said, outsiders would be confused at all, but Li Xiangjun and Shen Shuren could understand it in seconds, because they understood the context.

When Shen Shuren redeemed her back then, on the one hand, it was to repay her for being an internal response to Li Xiangjun's affairs;

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

As for giving away the girl, Shen Shuren couldn't do it. This point has been said a long time ago. It is objectifying women. He can only buy them, not sell them or give them away.After giving people freedom and providing conditions to allow people to fall in love freely, this is Shen Shuren's limit.

Now it seems that Bian Yujing really gave up and became a Taoist nun just like in history. Mr. Meicun and her are indeed just friends in learning.

Whether it's Wumei Village's strict management of his wives and concubines, his excellent moral character, or his feeling that he is old, he doesn't want to be disrespectful.In short, the matter has been exposed, and nothing happened. (In fact, Wu Weiye is not very old, he is not yet 40 years old. In contrast, Qian Qianyi is 60 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 before becoming a Taoist nun, but now he rescued the bitter sea a few years earlier, and directly took the Taoist title as a virgin.

Li Xiangjun is also a smart person, how can he not understand all this, and immediately pulled her and whispered intimately: "You are here alone, why bother. After the New Year, go to Wuchang to accompany my sister.

You are still young and don't know what you want. There are so many talented people in the world. As for understanding the ancient and modern debates and observing the way of the world, in today's world, there is no one stronger than the young master. You want to find a confidant to talk about the past and the present, which is not exactly right. "

Bian Yujing looked indifferent, and smiled slightly: "Mr. Shen's talent is as good as fine wine. It is hard to know. Originally, my younger sister had never read "Rizhi Shijian", and it was the son who redeemed my sister. In the past six months, I just came out of curiosity. After looking at it, it really is the incisive theory of gold and stone.

Later, I read "On the Thieves", and I admired it even more.Anyway, my younger sister is also a wild crane now, and she is happy wherever she goes. It's okay to go to Wuchang to accompany my sister, but let's think about other things in the long run. "

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

Bian Yujing did still have knots in her heart, and she only had a little gratitude and admiration for Shen Shuren, but she couldn't talk about feelings.On the other hand, Bian Yujing has not completely come out of the past, and even if she occasionally has a bold idea, she will be scared back by herself.

She knew that she once had fantasies about Shen Shuren's mentor, even if nothing happened, she was still a virgin, but she dared not face it, wondering if Mr. the hurdle.

So every time when relevant questions flashed through her mind, Bian Yujing didn't dare to think about it, and would subconsciously fill her mind with other questions.

Bian Yujing and Li Xiangjun reunited after a long absence. The sisters were chatting enthusiastically about the old days, but they were left out again. Dong Xiaowan, who was listening with her daughter in her arms, suddenly interjected:

"Miss, do you also like to talk about the past and the present? There are quite a few confidante around you. I heard that the daughter of Huguang Fang Futai also likes this.

For the sake of Miss Fang, our lord and wife have been quite dissatisfied with Sister Xiangjun recently.When I go home and see Mrs. Madam in a while, my sister has to be careful. "
