Chapter 53
After Shen Shuren bathed and changed his clothes, he changed into the most gorgeous Suzhou embroidered gown, and smoked the elegant yellow ripe agarwood, his whole spirit was different.

It is completely different from the appearance of being immersed in military affairs and eating clothes and food every day in recent months.

The Suzhou embroidery he just put on was embroidered by Dong Xiaowan himself, and it was delivered together this time.

In the past half a year or so, I heard that Dong Xiaowan was in Suzhou, helping to manage the Shen family's loom business well.

Although she can't take care of the public affairs outside, but other customers have reported that the performance of the machine is a little flawed, and she can also help find ways to fix it.

Fang Yizhi, who co-invented the machine at the beginning, has now been released as a local official, and the follow-up technical support and improvement cannot be counted on Dong Xiaowan alone.

In the past half a year or so, the Shen family has made another two to three million taels of silver from this transaction, almost earning all the equipment money for Shen Shuren's military expansion in Huangzhou this time.He also controlled the most powerful weaving workshop bosses in the Susong area into his own camp.

In her spare time, Dong Xiaowan also embroidered some brocades with her own hands, cut and sewed them, and made three sets of robes.One set for the son, one set for sister Yuanyuan, as a thank you for Chen Yuanyuan's introduction and rescue, and one set for myself.

Shen Shuren was refreshed and tidied up, it was already noon, and there was still some time before drinking while admiring the moon at night, so he casually wandered into the courtyard of Chen Yuanyuan and Dong Xiaowan.

The girl washed slowly. When he came in, he saw that the hair of the two girls was still wet, and they were helping each other to comb.

Chen Yuanyuan was dressed in a light lotus pink dress, and her face was also lightly pink.

Dong Xiaowan is moon white, which is between pure white and sky blue, very clear.With a plain face facing the sky, it looks like a lotus in clear water.

She has kept mourning for her parents for more than four years, and she is used to wearing pure white.Even if she is out of clothes now, she still can't get used to heavy makeup, but on the basis of the color of the filial piety clothes, there is a little bit of water blue.

When seeing Shen Shuren, Dong Xiaowan still had a calm expression on his face, but bowed humbly.

Chen Yuanyuan, who was already a human being, seemed to be waiting for her eyes, water dripped from her eyes, like a pink flower-piercing butterfly, she floated over lightly and leaned on Shen Shuren's shoulder.

"Young Master is so heartless. We agreed to go to Shanhaiguan to transport food, and then stop by the capital to catch up on the exam. We will return in two or three months at most. This wait will last for more than half a year! I almost thought that Young Master would not want to be a slave."

Shen Shuren stroked Chen Yuanyuan's wet hair, took the comb from Dong Xiaowan's hand, and comforted her while combing:
"Aren't I crazy? How can I not want such a charming beauty? It's just that the court's mission is in my body, and state affairs are the most important thing, so I can't help myself.

There is Lin Chengcheng in the east of Huangzhou, and Liu Xiyao in the north. The two thieves are attacking the land. I have not yet established a firm foothold. I am afraid that I will bring you here and fall into danger. "

Chen Yuanyuan's heart was warmed by the words of pity and pity, and she quickly whispered softly: "My family is not afraid, the young master hasn't married a wife yet, and he dares to go into dangerous places with his own hands. Is the life of the slave family worth more than the young master?

The slave family will definitely not hold back the young master, if one day the thieves come and cannot be defended, we will run away together.If he becomes a burden to the son, the slave family will learn from Yu Ji and will not be humiliated.There is no need for the young master to learn from Liu Bang's old heartlessness and do it himself. "

"Don't say such unlucky words! Since you are here, you should stay here."

Shen Shuren's face was serious, and he put on the majesty of a husband as a wife, and then turned to Dong Xiaowan, without hiding it:
"Xiaobai, since you came with Yuanyuan, you must have figured it out. Although I won't be able to give you any status for the time being, I will definitely feel sorry for you."

Dong Xiaowan, who was not a human being, looked shy and didn't know how to respond for a moment, but kept silent and leaned on his other shoulder.

Ever since I was in Suzhou in April, I heard about Shen Shuren High School, and learned that he was very strong and dared to speak out against the emperor. Dong Xiaowan was filled with admiration and admiration, intertwined with the original gratitude and affection, it can be regarded as It's a matter of course.

The three of them shared some thoughts about the old days, and Dong Xiaowan was first sent back to the house to rest by the gift.

However, Shen Shuren took advantage of the time and felt a little bored after holding it in for several months, so he hurriedly pulled Chen Yuanyuan back to his room to perform Fa-rectification on the spot.

After the Lantern Festival, we parted, and we met again on the Mid-Autumn Festival. For seven months, I could feel that Chen Yuanyuan's posture and behavior were quite different.Originally he only knew how to greet people with a smiling face, but now he is tender like water, this is all thanks to Shen Lang's training.

At the height of her love, she couldn't help joking and teasing:
"Shen Lang, if you really feel that the slave's family is in the way, it's not impossible to send it away. The madam and the aunts said that if any of our sisters are pregnant with the child of the son, they can be taken back to Suzhou to have a baby, and I will leave them as a memory. think."

When Shen Shuren heard this, he was a little annoyed immediately, he really has long hair but short knowledge!Always think about these unlucky things!
But at this moment, he had no other way to vent his anger, so he could only torture Chen Yuanyuan until he was unarmed: "Then do you want to stay with me, or go back to Suzhou to have a baby!"

……

Shen Shuren has been recharging his energy for half a year, and he is very vigorous.When he went to the banquet at night, he still looked tall and majestic.

On the contrary, Chen Yuanyuan's legs were so weak that she needed Dong Xiaowan's support to walk.

Fortunately, the mid-autumn night banquet can bring female relatives, and the other guests are also leaning against the red and nestling in the green, so it doesn't seem obtrusive.

Zhang Huangyan is already 22 years old. He just married his wife in Tongcheng last year. His wife is from a wealthy local family. She is the daughter of Fang Yizhi's widowed aunt Fang Weiyi.

Zhang Huangyan took office with his wife this time, and when Shen Shuren saw Mrs. Sun, he also saluted very politely.When he mentioned that he and his cousin's cousin Fang Yizhi were the same age, Sun couldn't help laughing, feeling that there are quite a lot of coincidences in this world.

On the other hand, Zhao Yunfan, the magistrate of the county, is over 40 years old, and his first wife is in her mid-mature, so she brought two concubines to the banquet.

The rest of the military officers, including Zuo Zixiong, didn't know how to bring their family members, so they randomly found two fans in Qizhou County to accompany them to drink.

Shen Shuren's treats are eclectic, and he will not look down on warriors, so he even invited the generals together.

There was even the Spanish mercenary instructor brought by Zhang Huangyan, named Fidel Pizarro, and there were two Southeast Asian and Japanese women around him. It seemed that Zheng Chenggong promised him together when he was recruiting him. of.

People in the Ming Dynasty still had a lot of backbone. Even if they were women who came out to sell, they would be regarded as ghosts when they met red barbarian barbarians, and they would not do business with them if they were paid.This preserved the purity of social health in the late Ming Dynasty, and the late Ming works that described romantic scenes never saw those American heart diseases.

Although the American disease had spread among the Spaniards as early as 1520, until 1630, the Han people were able to keep it from spreading to the Central Plains, relying on reproductive isolation.After Huaxia's self-esteem was lost in the late Qing Dynasty, the ghosts were received wantonly, and those flowers and willows really exploded, to the point that even the royal family could not be spared.

At this moment, seeing this scene, Shen Shuren also secretly praised Zheng Chenggong for his national integrity: it is okay to learn from the barbarians to control the barbarians, but you can't use Chinese women to serve them!If there is a shortage of women, find Southeast Asia and Japan to solve it!

(In Japan, because all the famous names in the Warring States Period needed "iron cannons", they were willing to use women to win over Nanban merchants from the very beginning. They got used to it, so there was no oppression. As early as 1543 when the "iron cannons came" He ordered his retainers to give his daughter to the Nanban gun craftsman)

The banquet officially started soon, and the dishes and snacks on the table were brought by Zhang Huangyan from Suzhou.

Shen Shuren also changed from his usual simplicity, and each of them had rice wine from Kuaiji Mountain, bald butter made from crab roe and crab paste, and exquisite Soviet-style mooncakes on their desks.Only vegetables, chicken, duck and fish are locally produced in Huangzhou.

As everyone was seated, the other guests were also amazed when they saw Mr. Tongzhi surrounded by charming beauties serving wine.

"I have always known that Master Tongzhi is diligent and rigorous, and shares the joys and sorrows with the people. He is so young and determined to make such a good story about such a talented man and beautiful lady. The officials are really terrified, even if they look at it, they feel guilty. It's a big deal. Open your eyes."

Zhao Yunfan embraced his concubine, feeling admiration from the bottom of his heart.

"Shen Tong is highly talented, capable in politics, and dares to offend Yan Zhizhi, a beauty should be a hero."

Zuo Zixiong is a rough man who can't speak, but he just feels that Shen Tongzhi is convinced that he is accompanied by beauties, at least he is more worthy of being surrounded by stunning beauties than those rotten scholars in Nanjing.

"Hey, today we just let everyone reunite for the Mid-Autumn Festival, what are you talking about." Shen Shuren looked like he was having fun with the people, and quickly changed the subject.

Although he has Chen Yuanyuan and Dong Xiaowan by his side, there are also unnamed concubines and fans by his side, and everyone has a bright future.

Among the guests, only Zhang Huangyan looked as usual and drank as usual, but Sun was curious, pinched him secretly and asked, "Why don't you look? Are those two beauties your cousin's concubine? Pity, there are few in the sky, but hard to find in the world, to be able to find two at a time, what a blessing."

Zhang Huangyan was overwhelmed by the insinuation, so he had to admit: "I saw it before. In Suzhou, my cousin asked that girl Chen to sing "The Peony Pavilion" for everyone. He didn't formally accept a concubine. My uncle was afraid of delay. He married a wealthy family."

When Sun heard him confess frankly, she felt a little more comfortable.In fact, she also knew that she felt a sense of crisis inexplicably because Chen Yuanyuan and Dong Xiaowan were too beautiful.

On one side they are joking and playing, on the other side the banquet has passed for several rounds.

The magistrate of Zhao County, who had already made up his mind to embrace Tongzhi's thigh, also proposed in a different way: "Mr. Dongpo was the deputy envoy of the Huangzhou regiment in the past, and today Shen Tongzhi is also a Jinshi on the second list, a minister of the world, and the same rank. In the future, he will be in the same position. In this local chronicle of Huangzhou, I am afraid that Mr. Dongpo will be followed.

Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming again, why don't we also cast bricks to attract jade, chant the beauties of the festival, and know the talents with Shen Tong, and maybe we can leave a famous story that can be compared with Dongpo through the ages. "

After hearing this, Shen Shuren woke up from the slightest hint of drunkenness.Let him recite poems and compose Fu, so why not kill him? If he still wants to follow Su Dongpo, it will be good if there is no scandal.

He hastily rejected it: "Hey, it's not right, Layman Dongpo's pearls and jades come first, and everything I write is dross. Besides, Layman Dongpo was in a time of peace back then, but now it's a time of national calamity. Everyone is happy, It is better to talk about military affairs and discuss military affairs on paper, and it is worse than reciting poems and composing Fu, moaning without illness."

With a big hat down, Zhao Yunfan also knew that this flattery would not work, so he had to give up.

Unexpectedly, there was Zuo Zixiong with a low EQ next to him. He had been drinking there all the time, and he didn't dare to show his atmosphere, and he didn't dare to talk about it with civil servants.Now that the spirit of Jiu came up, hearing Shen Shuren's support, he immediately spoke:

"My lord, since I am not afraid of spoiling the scenery, there is one thing I would like to discuss with you at the end - after arriving in Qizhou just this morning, I went to the military camp to inspect and inspect the firearms tactics practiced by the local regiment.

Mr. Francois Scalp, who came to observe with me, has some disagreements with me.Neither of us can convince each other, so I ask Master Tongzhi to decide whether it is right or wrong. "

Zhao Yunfan, who was next to him, felt uneasy when he heard this, and worried that Zuo Zixiong would be criticized for being so ungrateful.

Mid-Autumn Festival, the full moon is in the sky, talented men and beautiful women, such beautiful scenery, you actually ask the right or wrong way to kill people?It's like chewing peonies!

However, Shen Shuren was enough to shock the world. He wished that someone would change the topic so that he would not be involved in the poetry recitation, so he put on a very solemn expression, with his left arm around Chen Yuanyuan and his right arm against Dong Xiaowan, and said without changing his face. :

"Oh? Tell me in detail quickly. What is the difference between the two of you on the current firearm warfare?"
