Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 428 The Gu Family and the Gu Country

"My lord, a letter from Guangdong, the latest situation of the Guangzhou Stock Exchange."

"Uncle, come and help Gu, why can't Gu's flowers grow well?"

In the other garden, Chen Yunfu immersed himself in tending the flowers and plants, holding a watering can in one hand and scissors in the other, sweating profusely. His brother-in-law Shao Ziheng stood behind him and reported the situation in Guangdong to Chen Yunfu.

"Shiqi's old mother passed away, and Ding You returned to his hometown. You have worked hard these few days to take care of the orphan and run the company."

After working for a long time, Chen Yunfu finally raised his head, put his hands on his sore waist and sighed: "It takes a lot of movement, it takes a lot of effort, and it won't work if you are so tired that you can't straighten your waist."

Shao Ziheng was not as comfortable as Yang Shiqi in front of Chen Yunfu, and he was also older. He talked less and less in his forties, and he rarely picked up Chen Yunfu's small talk, and most of them were business affairs.

"My lord, Hu Sizong said that the stock exchange is booming now, and the Stock Regulatory Bureau has also investigated and dealt with several unscrupulous businessmen, cleaning up the atmosphere."

Chen Yunfu wiped his hands, glanced at Shao Ziheng, shook his head and said, "Brother, today is the Dragon Boat Festival, can we stop talking about business? Didn't you see that Gu didn't enter the palace today, so it's rare for you to rest at home for a day. Just don't bother me with these things."

"Yes."

He said yes, but Shao Ziheng didn't intend to be idle, so he followed Chen Yunfu in a regular manner after closing his voice, and didn't say anything else.

He has changed a lot.

"Where is Tinghe, didn't you bring it?"

Chen Yunfu looked around: "Wei San, Wei San."

"My lord, the old slave is here."

"Go and bring Ting He over."

"Eh."

"Today's Dragon Boat Festival, let's have a family meal."

Chen Yunfu greeted Shao Ziheng to take a seat in the gazebo, and said casually, "On weekdays, we are busy with government affairs, and our children are busy with school. We haven't been together for a long time. It's rare to have a down-to-earth meal today during the festival."

"Success." Shao Ziheng smiled and nodded: "I will accompany the king to have a few more drinks."

The two were chatting when footsteps sounded around the corner, followed by Chen Jinghe walking out holding a firecracker. Seeing Chen Yunfu frightened, he quickly hid his things behind him, turned around and was about to leave.

"come over!"

The person was stopped, so Chen Jinghe had no choice but to turn around and walk up to salute.

"The child has seen father and uncle."

"What did you take?"

Chen Jinghe quickly took out his hands behind his back, and put a pair of iron firecrackers on the table. Chen Yunfu took a look at it, and knocked on the table a few times, but found that there was no gunpowder. Then put it in his arms.

"Where did it come from?"

"The samples from the Firearms Bureau just came out last month, and the outdated products that I haven't tested the gun. I saw it was fresh, so I kept it for fun. Father, don't worry, I don't want gunpowder, let alone bullets, and it won't hurt anyone. "

Chen Jinghe hurriedly proved his innocence and said, "I'll just keep it as a display."

"Playful." Chen Yunfu sighed helplessly: "Can't you give me some time to be safe?"

Shao Ziheng saw that Chen Yunfu wanted to train his son, so he hurriedly tried to persuade him: "Your Majesty, Jing He is also reasonable. Besides, last month their school got their grades, and Jing He was among the top ten in the school."

Speaking of this, Chen Yunfu's face paled slightly, revealing a fatherly smile.

My son is playful, but smart is really smart.

"Follow alone."

Chen Jinghe rolled his eyes secretly. If the relationship is good, it's up to you, father. If it's not, it's all my own responsibility?

Shao Ziheng also suppressed his desire to laugh, but he still nodded seriously.

"What the king said is very true. Given time, Jing He will definitely become the king's powerful arm."

"Seeing that your grades in the school exam last month were not bad, I won't bother with you today, go back to the house and read."

"Hey." Chen Jinghe immediately breathed a sigh of relief, bowed and left: "My child will leave."

After taking three steps back and turning around, Chen Jinghe turned around and smiled flatteringly.

"Father, that"

"The firecracker is a murder weapon, and you can't play with defective products. Next time I will let me see you playing with this thing, and I will give you a discount on your legs."

Chen Jinghe slipped his neck in fright and ran away in a hurry.

"Isn't Your Majesty being too strict?"

Although Shao Ziheng didn't dare to say much about other things, but this was his own nephew, so he had to put in a few good words for Chen Jinghe.

Chen Yunfu sighed: "A few years ago, when Jinghe was young, he was busy fighting fires and neglected to discipline him, which led to his bad personality. This is all the responsibility of being a father. Now I have to teach him well. Otherwise, how can we inherit the great cause in the future.”

Recalling the past, Chen Yunfu's mood was not very good.

"Jing and Yaxi returned to Nanjing from Wuzhong when they were only two or three years old. They were lonely. At that time, they had just resumed their official duties. They ran around in Huguang, Guizhou, Guangdong, Guangxi and Liaodong. It took years and months to go, and then went to Guangxi to stay for two years. It's been a long time since I returned to Beijing, and I didn't accompany any of the children to grow up. When I think about it, I owe them a lot."

"Ning'er dotes on the child, so Gu can't say much. After all, it's Gu's fault. Now that I have enough time, I can fulfill my father's responsibility."

Talking about children's education, Shao Ziheng also sighed: "Since ancient times, the hearts of parents in the world have been pitiful. The king was busy governing the country and caring for the people, and he left his family to take care of everyone. It is hard to be a king."

"We are all the same, there is no way."

Chen Yunfu said with emotion: "When you are an official, you care about one end and the other. How can you take care of both public and private interests? In the past two years, the weather has been smooth and the country is peaceful and the people are safe. I have spent a lot more time alone."

While chatting, Mu Shiqun, who was guarding far outside, came over, leaned over and whispered in Chen Yunfu's ear.

"Your Majesty, the General Staff has urgently reported that Dai Cishen has started a fight with the Tatars at the Luju River."

Chen Yunfu frowned suddenly.

After a few months of work, the army of the Northern Expedition finally captured the traces of the Tatars?
At the moment, he didn't care about the Dragon Boat Festival or not, so he hurriedly got up without having time to say hello to Shao Ziheng, so he walked out.

"Where is the messenger?"

"Waiting outside the palace."

"Called in."

Chen Yunfu moved to the front hall, where he saw soldiers who had traveled all the way from Dongsheng Weicheng.

"How's the battle going?"

"General Dai encountered only a small group of Tatars. It should be only ten thousand households. The main force of the enemy has not yet been ascertained."

After receiving the military newspaper and reading it, Chen Yunfu pondered.

"Where is Wang Bi?"

"General Wang led his troops to Tula River, but there is no news for now."

There is no news from the Tula River, and there is only one enemy in the Luju River. Where did the Tatars go?

Chen Yunfu scratched his head, he was in Nanjing, too far away from Mobei.

Unable to reach the whip, he had no choice but to wave his hands.

"You step back, so you can rest for a few days before returning to Mobei, Shiqun, give this son ten taels of silver so that he can eat and drink well in the capital."

The soldier nodded and thanked En and left.

Mu Shiqun stepped forward and said, "Do you want to call Mu Shuai and the others in Beijing?"

"No need." Chen Yunfu raised his hand to stop: "It's not a good thing to be a superintendent. I don't know anything about war. It's useless to worry about it. Lan Shuai is all over the world. Let him think about this matter. It's better not to command randomly. So as not to affect the judgment of the front line."

He said he was unwilling to interfere with the frontline military aircraft, but how could Chen Yunfu not be concerned about it at all.

Even when eating, Chen Yunfu was in a trance several times.

Sapphire, sapphire, it's all up to you.
