The wife of a woman collecting herbs cannot be bullied

Chapter 656

When there was no one around, Chu Xu also mentioned: "Brother said, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is already looking around at the house. The emperor's brothers are adults, and they will leave the palace to open the mansion next year, so the title should be conferred before the mansion is opened. It's too soon to think about it. Then it's the turn of the clan to test the title."

And their military achievements in the past five years are not small, and the old saint has been covering them all the time. He thinks he can mention them when he returns next year, and wonders if he can be promoted to a Duke.

The thing that my grandfather never forgot during his lifetime was being stripped from the title of Duke of the State, and now he is the only one of them who can have the opportunity to fulfill his grandfather's wish.

There is one more thing that Chu Xu didn't say, based on his experience in naval battles in the South Outer Sea in the past few years, it might be of great use after he returns.It's just that his family, Yingying, never paid much attention to these external things, so he didn't say anything, and it was still a matter of nothing.

Chu Xu looked at the general ledger, the accounts of the General's Mansion's large inflows and outflows in the past few years, and there is no way to do it. For all errands that come in with a lot of money, there must be a lot of filial piety.However, at any rate, what ended up in the hands was quite generous.Now looking at the balance on the account, the two couldn't help but think of the time when they got married, and couldn't help laughing.

It was so poor back then!But poor is poorer, but newlyweds are a little bit sweeter.

Chu Xu looked at his family's Ying Ying's more and more elegant face, and he also borrowed Ying Ying's light, and he hardly saw his old appearance and body, and the tenderness in his eyes could turn into water and flow out...

Shi Chuying was burned by Chu Xu's gaze, so she was naturally a little moved, she glanced at Jiaojiao quietly.Seeing that she was sleeping on her back in the small cradle bed, and she would not wake up for a while, she gave Chu Xu a wink, and carrying her sleeping shoes, the two of them groped into the inner room one after the other.

Jiaojiao, this little girl is extremely clingy, with her around, the couple would have to touch them secretly if they wanted to do anything...

The two big girls guarding the room pursed their lips and did not dare to laugh, for fear of waking the young lady up. Once she woke up, their general and wife would definitely give up halfway.

Hee hee hee……

At the end of October, Shi Chuying and Chu Xu received a letter from Jingli, and Shi Chuyun and his son both passed the Juren examination.Shi Chuyun doesn't plan to take the entrance exam anymore, he is also a bit old, and his wish to pass the exam is already fulfilled; and brother Chen is still young, and he plans to settle down for a few years before taking the exam.

Chu Xu agreed, and invited Brother Chen to travel here with the next warship in Nanwaihai.

Sure enough, Brother Chen received the letter from his little uncle and the medicines for the ship from his little aunt, so he packed his bags and kidnapped his big cousin from the aunt's family, Gu Mengdie's son, and brother Yan from Chu's family. I waited for Lang Qiqi, a few clan children, to come to see the sea.

After nearly a month of sea voyage, a dozen or so boys finally stepped on the ground, and almost didn't fall. It was really too long, and the feet were still a little soft.

Brother Zhao, Brother Shi, and Youyou had gone to the port to meet them early on. The children were elated when they saw each other, so they hurriedly dragged them back to the mansion, where they rested for two days.

In the following days, a group of young men in brocade clothes from the capital, led by the young masters and young ladies of the general's family, drank, ate, drank and had fun everywhere in Haiyanzi every day, not to mention being able to play.

Chu Xu laughed it off when he heard about it, and said to himself, it was because they hadn't encountered the Shanghai War, so they could eat and drink. If they came here once, they would be able to avoid it for the rest of their lives.Haven't seen their mansion, those meat-eating seafood never enter the mansion...

These children also brought a lot of fresh news from central Beijing, such as the fact that the tenth prince named Yuwang, the twelve princes named Chang'an County King, the Zongzheng of the Zongren Mansion changed, and the Zongxue changed the gentleman, etc. Wait.

The most interesting thing is that the Gu family boy, who is as ghostly as his father, took advantage of Shi Chuying's "aunt is long and aunt is short" by taking advantage of his young age.In the end, Shi Chuying had no choice but to take them to a not-so-deep seabed, and each of them picked a few corals, big conch, and big sea mussels, but in the end they were frightened by the sea snake and floated up...

The first year of Jingxing was the second year after the new emperor ascended the throne.

In February, Chu Xu got the news that the candidate to replace him turned out to be Shangfeng Chu Xiao!

Others don't understand what's going on, but Chu Xu knows a little bit. I'm afraid that if Chu Xiao can keep the current achievements in the past five years, it will be of great use in the future when he goes back.

Chu Xiao came very quickly, because he had never been in a naval battle, so Chu Xu needed to lead him for a while.Therefore, since he arrived in Nanwaihai, Chu Xu has been "requisitioned" by him, and he almost stays with him for food and lodging.In the words of the little girl Jiaojiao: "Daddy has become uncle's daddy."

In terms of seniority, Chu Xiao is a generation older than Chu Xu, so the children have to call him uncle.

In this way, from spring to summer, Chu Xiao applied for an extension to assist in the handover. It was not until the end of the fishing moratorium that Chu Xu took him on a rampage at sea for a month before he had to let him go back to Beijing.When Shi Chuying and the others returned to the capital, the agreed five-year term had already exceeded half a year.

At the same time, almost [-]% of the officers, soldiers and ships received the deployment order, including the battleship 'Fierce Dragon' which became famous in World War I.Moreover, in the next two years, the first batch of Antarctic Port officers, soldiers and ships will complete the defense change in batches.This is the need of the garrison, and it is also a realistic arrangement.

After all, although the Antarctic Port is good, it is still incomparable with a professional shipyard. Many warships have not been without damage over the years, and it is time for a major overhaul.

However, this time, Shi Feng, Shi Dian, Chen Tianbao, Zhang Cang and others were all left to Chu Xiao by Chu Xu.

As soon as Shi Feng and Shi Dian got married, they could work hard for a few more years for their children and grandchildren.Now the situation in Nanwaihai is good, they are also very familiar with this place, and they are old acquaintances with Chu Xiao, so if they survive for another five years, when they go back, they can earn a good job with ten years of military exploits.

It would be safe for them to follow Chu Xu all the time, but then they still only know Shi Feng and Shi Dian, no one will remember Wei Xiaowei and Zhao Xiaowei, right?

Chen Tianbao and Zhang Cang also have the same reasoning.They used to accompany Chu Xu in the guard camp, and they wanted to go back, but after Chu Xiao talked with Chu Xu, Chu Xu kept them.Chu Xiao's attitude was very clear, he came here to be conservative, and it was better to use familiar staff than to train him now.It is certain that he will install his own people, but he can't get started immediately, so he also needs these delicate people.

Everyone gets what they need, that's how it is in officialdom.
