Chapter 287
During the less than ten days of waiting for the imperial decree, Shen Shuren hurriedly walked around the counties of Wuchang Prefecture,
After sorting out the institutional construction work of refugee resettlement and reclamation legislation, three new military products including forged steel bulletproof breastplate, laboratory-made nitrocellulose propellant, and absorbent cotton gauze were also inspected.

After all, he didn't give Song Yingxing much time. From April to now, it's just over seven months, and it's already amazing to be able to tinker with these technological innovations.

Shen Shuren stayed in Daye County until November 27th. In the evening of this day, after finishing the complicated internal affairs, Shen Shuren was eating and chatting with Fang Yizhi, thinking about what needs to be inspected and filled in.

As a result, a group of Shen family's confidant messengers rushed to Daye and begged to see the young master overnight, which also interrupted Shen Shuren's relatively idle days:

"Young master, urgent report from the capital, your Majesty's envoy who bestowed your title, as well as Governor Fang's father and daughter, should have passed Tongbai Mountain and arrived in Suizhou. In about two days, we will be able to arrive in Wuchang.

We rushed our horses ahead of time, changed horses without changing people, and ran to report first after landing in Huainan. "

If envoys and former officials from the capital want to go to Wuchang, if they are not in a hurry, they can go east to Anqing, Hefei, enter the Yangtze River, and then go upstream instead of going through the steep mountains.

If you are in a hurry, there is only the Huaibei part north of Xinyang, where there is a waterway to go, and you can use the canal. Once you enter the Huaihe River, you can only change to land, and take a shortcut by crossing Tongbai Mountain from Xinyang Road.

Therefore, before arriving at the Huaihe River, the Shen family's emergency messenger moved at the same speed as Fang Kongzhao's family and the envoys who announced the decree, and occasionally had to take a boat.After abandoning the ship and landing on the shore, he hurried on and ran for two days.For ordinary people who are not in a hurry, the last part of the journey may take four or five days.

Shen Shuren and Fang Yizhi listened, and looked at each other tacitly: "Leave this to Mr. Song, and we will return to Jiangxia County in the morning."

……

Daye was only sixty miles away from Jiangxia County, and the group set off early the next morning and returned to Jiangxia County before noon, so they could catch up with their family for dinner.

In the governor's yamen, Shen Shuren's confidantes also got the news in advance, knowing that the young master was preparing to receive the order, and they were extremely busy.

At lunch time, Chen Yuanyuan, Dong Xiaowan, and Li Xiangjun all came to accompany him and serve him.The expressions of the three women were all serious. Chen Yuanyuan was helping to pick up the vegetables, while making indirect comments anxiously:

"My lord, I heard that His Majesty gave you a national surname so that when you marry the young princess of Lu Wang's family in the future, you can avoid the suspicion of marrying into the family and save face for both families? Congratulations, you should also have a young mistress to help take care of you. There's a lot going on in this inner house."

Shen Shuren was eating fish, and Li Xiangjun dexterously picked out the thorns one by one for him, leaving the clean meat, and then served him to chew and eat slowly. And Li Xiangjun, comfort me:

"What? Are you worried? This sounds insincere. I will marry a real wife after all. But I will not fail you in this life. It is inevitable. I will always let you go from beginning to end."

Dong Xiaowan stood aside, dressed in moon white and plain, and did not come to cling to her. In this life, she was different from Chen Yuanyuan and Li Xiangjun in terms of background.Because of Shen Shuren's rescue, Dong Xiaowan has never fallen into those occasions where people are greeted with smiling faces, and is just the daughter of a bankrupt rich businessman.So in broad daylight, she can't do the thing of obsessing with the master with other women, she would rather wait and see what happens.

After all, Chen Yuanyuan and Li Xiangjun were redeemed by Shen Shuren, so they didn't have so many concerns about etiquette.The second daughter was quickly appeased by Shen Shuren, her face was flushed like a tide, and her pink color was flushed, but she just whispered in a tired voice:

"My family sincerely congratulates the young master. How can I not want to. With the status of the young master, he is talented and good-looking, and he deserves to be served by as many women as possible. What is the princess, even the princess is worthy of it. But... I don’t know about this Lu Wang’s mansion. Little princess, how old is he, and is he a good person?"

Shen Shuren laughed loudly: "So I was worried about this, don't worry, the little princess will be 16 years old at most after the Chinese New Year. She was ignorant of the world since she was a child, and she has no heart in the city, nor does she have the temperament to make things difficult for others. Just don't offend her." , she is too lazy to be jealous."

Hearing that the princess is so young and doesn't understand anything, the three daughters felt relieved, but Chen Yuanyuan felt a little ashamed, subconsciously stroking her cheek, and said to herself:
"That's three or four years younger than the Nu family. There is really nothing to worry about. In the future, the Nu family will definitely be the first to fade away and love to relax."

Among Shen Shuren's three women, Chen Yuanyuan is the oldest, and she will be 20 next year.Dong Xiaowan is a few months younger than her, and Li Xiangjun is more than a year younger, so by next year, the youngest among them will be eighteen.

Other families always marry their wives first, and after the main wife gets old and decrepit, they find a younger and younger concubine, the main wife is very crisis-conscious,
The Shen family was just the opposite. Shen Shuren worked hard until he was 23 years old before he could formally marry a wife. Before that, the concubines around him had been serving him for four or five years.

In order not to cause trouble for his future wife and the family, in the past few years, Shen Shuren deliberately staggered the time as much as possible. If it wasn't for the reunion after a long absence and urgent need for comfort, he would usually choose a relatively safe day.

Chen Yuanyuan and Li Xiangjun did not seem to have a physique that is easy to conceive, so they lived in peace for two or three years. Only Dong Xiaowan gave birth to a daughter for him, who is almost two years old.

Facing Chen Yuanyuan's complaints, Shen Shuren was of course very responsible: "I don't have any sex here! I don't think you are vulgar fans of sex people at all.

Either you have shared my troubles, or helped me in my career, and you are all quite talented and knowledgeable. It is rare in the world that few women can know me and understand my ambitions. What do you have to worry about. "

The girls were coaxed very happily at this moment, they didn't say anything to make the scenery jealous, they just quietly buried their heads in Shen Shuren's chest, quietly enjoying this moment.

After being teased by them, Shen Shuren thought of something, and reminded: "Speaking of the little princess of Prince Lu's Mansion, since she does not object to the marriage, she must have a good impression of me.

Thinking back to the beginning, maybe I showed off some musical insights in front of King Lu and the princess, which made them feel refreshed.I chatted with the little princess a few times, but I couldn't get around the rhythm.The ups and downs of Prince Lu's mansion are really infatuated with good rhythm.

For the sake of harmony in the future, if you guys have time, you should give me some pointers and corrections on my piano skills. I don’t want to be perfect, at least I can fool me by playing the Longmen Array, so that I don’t have high eyes but low hands.

Yourselves, you should also read more "Guyin Zhengzong" written by Lu Wang, and think about it carefully. When the little princess comes in, you should ask her for advice, maybe she will really treat you as sisters.You enter the door first, even if you have no status, you will not be made things difficult. "

All the girls nodded their heads in agreement, keeping these precautions silently in their hearts.

……

The girls learned that the little princess might be officially given a marriage at any time, and the days of freedom and no one in front of them are getting less and less day by day.

Moreover, the young master is likely to be sent out on a business trip at any time, and he may be at home for a few days, so he will inevitably flatter and serve him, and he cherishes every opportunity very much.

The next day, Li Xiangjun thought of her good sister, who is still working as a lay woman behind closed doors, and remembered what her son said, "Enter the door before the little princess, at least you won't be deliberately made things difficult", she was a little anxious, eager to matching.

No woman likes to share her husband with others, but when the status is low, if there is a best friend with the best relationship to take care of it and help each other, weak women will still consider it.

Li Xiangjun and Bian Yujing have endured hardships together since they were young, and have been trained together as thin horses for many years. This sisterhood is definitely not fake.

So she went out in a hurry early in the morning and found Bian Yujing's residence.

It has been a year since Bian Yujing came to Wuchang. The place where she lived was originally an idle courtyard randomly provided by Shen Shuren, but it was also renovated under Bian Yujing's own aesthetic design during this year.

Especially in the garden, full of bamboo forests are planted. Now that the trees are withered in winter, the bamboo forest is still green, but most of the bamboo leaves are withered, which makes the poles look tall and bleak.

When Shen Shuren was away in battle, Li Xiangjun was bored living in the house, and would often go to Bian Yujing's place, and the sisterhood was not unfamiliar at all.At this moment, Bian Yujing was not surprised to see Li Xiangjun coming, but felt that Li Xiangjun wasted a good time.

She teased jokingly: "Hey, my sister still comes here on such a day. Didn't I hear that Mr. Shen has returned to Wuchang, and a spring night is worth a thousand gold, and a spring day is worth at least five hundred gold."

Li Xiangjun also pretended to be stern, and touched Bian Yujing's cheek: "See if I don't dare to make fun of my sister with these words, if you don't use your rotten little hoof.
I will bring you into the mansion later, and let Sister Yuanyuan set the rules for you. From then on, you will be restrained in every word and deed. This is called retribution in my eyes. "

Although Bian Yujing is still a virgin, after all, she was trained since she was a child. Even if she has only sold singing, she is not thin-skinned, and she doesn't care if she is said this way: "My sister is not afraid of being favored by many people, but my younger sister can't wait for it."

Li Xiangjun: "Really? Have you figured it out? Don't practice your Taoism anymore? Forget it, I'm not joking with you, it's an imminent thing to come today. Do you want to follow the young master forever in this life.

If you want to, don't be hypocritical, and the young master won't blame you for having someone else in your heart.Back then, you and Miss Fang helped the young master write those songbooks about burglars. It can be seen that you also have a deep understanding of the young master's talents and ideas. From now on, it is not good to help him study at night.

If he hesitates any longer, after the Chinese New Year, the young master may be given a marriage, marrying with Prince Lu's mansion.At that time, those of us with humble backgrounds, if we want to enter the door, we will inevitably be suspected of humiliating the princess of the palace, so we might as well hurry up and cook rice. "

Li Xiangjun spoke so frankly, even if Bian Yujing was used to teasing her with dirty jokes, it was inevitable that he couldn't bear it, and subconsciously blushed.

Then, she thought of another question, and couldn't help asking: "Are you going to marry the princess of the palace? What about Miss Fang? Back then, we and Miss Fang helped the young master write the songbook, you and I can see that, Fang The girl is afraid that she also pays a lot of attention to the young master.

At the beginning, she spent every day pondering how to add fuel and fabricate details to "On the Rogue" and "The Continuation of the Rogue" so as to better damage the morale of the intruder. I think she puts so much effort into it every day. live? "

Li Xiangjun stomped anxiously: "Take care of yourself! Young Master told me last night that His Majesty would not allow the Fang family to marry him. When he saw that Governor Fang was appointed Governor of Sichuan, he knew what His Majesty was thinking." Yes. If Miss Fang is destined to be with him, she can only wait for another chance in the future."

Bian Yujing is also a little regretful. Six months ago, she still regarded Fang Ziling as a future young lady. When creating together, she often took care of each other's feelings and had good things to say.In her heart, she might not have the intention to please Fang Ziling and wait for Fang Ziling to enter the door later.

Now it seems that we can only take care of each other first.
