Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 285 Jealous
If these potential enemies are kept, the Ji Shi Army needs to spend a lot of energy to ensure the supply of logistics.

After pondering for a while, Yuan Keli said, "Are you going to do something?"

If someone else heard Yuan Keli's sudden utterance, they would definitely not understand why, but Li Jing and Yuan Keli were in the same heart, and immediately understood what Yuan Keli meant.

Shaking his head slightly, Li Jing said: "The time is not yet ripe. Our talent reserve is far from enough, and most of the court officials are unavailable. If there are not enough officials to fill these positions, the Ming machine will not be able to operate. By then The country is bound to be in chaos."

Smiling, Li Jing continued: "But it's coming soon, I think it will take another three years at most, so we must make preparations now."

Yuan Keli nodded slightly.

Now Li Jing's thinking about things has turned out to be more careful and far-reaching. Sometimes, Yuan Keli felt that he couldn't see through Li Jing's thoughts.

But Yuan Keli knew that Li Jing was no longer the young man who boasted about changing the fate of Daming for several years. Li Jing already understood where the real crux of Daming was, and began to prescribe the right medicine. This was the real way to save Daming.

After thinking for a while, Yuan Keli said, "Then should we conscript now?"

Li Jing nodded silently: "I'm going to let Gao Qi start to do this right away. In addition, the capital will also start planning."

Yuan Keli was silent for a while, then suddenly sighed and said: "Then get ready! Oh, I really hope to live a few more years! If I can see you change Daming's fate with my own eyes, I will die in peace!"

"What are you talking about, sir? You are in such good health that you can live to be a hundred years old! Come on! The students offer you a toast and wish you good health and a long life!" Li Jing laughed.

Yuan Keli smiled slightly, raised his glass to touch Li Jing, and drank it down in one gulp.

Putting down his wine glass, Yuan Keli said with a smile: "Actually, I should be content. I saw you achieve this step with my own eyes, and I know that as long as you are here, Daming will never perish. What else can't let go?"

Li Jing picked up the jug and filled Yuan Keli's wine glass, then said with a smile: "Sir, how can people be content? In fact, it is the dissatisfaction that motivates people to work hard, and only then can life be fun."

Yuan Keli clapped his palms and said with a smile: "Your words are becoming more and more incisive, and what you say is not bad. If I hadn't met you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to live today."

Li Jing smiled slightly upon hearing this.

What Yuan Keli said was right. If Li Jing hadn't come to the Ming Dynasty, Yuan Keli would have passed away in the winter of the sixth year of Chongzhen in history. In addition, Xu Guangqi died in the same year as Yuan Keli.

But now, these two people are living well, and Xu Guangqi has translated the original second volume of Geometry.In later generations, the second volume of Geometry was not translated until hundreds of years later.

Li Jing knew that the two old men were actually in good health, and the reason why they passed away was mainly because they were worried about state affairs.Now there is not only something to do, but more importantly, a good mood.

In addition, Li Jing attached great importance to the bodies of these two old people.

Li Jing ordered people to prepare a large amount of precious medicinal materials in the mansion of the two elders for emergency use, and arranged for the doctor to regularly check the pulse of the two elders to understand the physical condition of the two elders.Li Jing asked the doctor to notify him immediately even if the second elder had a minor illness such as a cold.

At the same time, Li Jing informed the officials of the Pingyang Mansion that no one should make Yuan Keli angry.If there is any bad news, unless Li Jing is not at home, Yuan Keli is not allowed to be informed.

Everyone knows that Li Jing regards Yuan Keli as his father and is extremely filial to Yuan Keli.It might be fine to make Li Jing angry, but if you make Yuan Keli unhappy, you will be in big trouble.

Li Jing usually doesn't use torture on people, but whoever makes Yuan Keli unhappy will definitely be punished. The servants in Yuan Keli's mansion are often beaten for this, and they will be replaced after the beating.In view of this, everyone naturally did not dare to neglect Yuan Keli, and they simply made offerings to Yuan Keli like their ancestors.

With Li Jing taking care of her like this, although Yuan Keli's body was aging due to age, he was full of energy. Especially last year when Shen Ying and Zhu Huiyu were pregnant, Yuan Keli had new thoughts.

When Shen and Zhu gave birth to a pair of sons and daughters, Yuan Keli was very relieved, and his spirit was even better than that of Qu Shuo.

Of course, what makes Yuan Keli happiest is Li Jing's growth.

Li Jing now has the demeanor of a politician, and his demeanor is becoming more and more stable.As a teacher, there is nothing more satisfying than watching students develop into talents.

Seeing that Yuan Keli was in a good mood, Li Jing had a few drinks with Yuan Keli.

Yuan Keli drinks in small cups, and only one or two drinks are available in two or three cups, and the wine he drinks will not be strong alcohol.

Usually when Li Jing and Yuan Keli drink, they drink such mellow wine as Zhuyeqing. Drinking less every day is not only not harmful to the body, but also good for health.

After drinking and eating, Li Jing accompanied Yuan Keli to the courtyard for a walk, and then personally served Yuan Keli to bed.

After Yuan Keli fell asleep, Li Jing returned home.

When Li Jing returned home, it was dark and the child had already fallen asleep, but the lights in the rooms of the two ladies were still on, apparently waiting for him.

Seeing the two ladies waiting late at night, Li Jing was quite troubled.

The so-called long absence is better than a new marriage, but two wives are not easy to arrange.The two wives have deep affection for Li Jing, which really makes Li Jing unable to choose.

After standing blankly for a while, Li Jing shook his head lightly, turned around and went back to the study in the front house.

……

The news of Li Jing's return to the mansion could not be concealed from the two mistresses, as soon as Li Jing entered the door, someone from his servants told the two wives the news of Li Jing's return to the mansion.

Knowing that Li Jing returned to the mansion, the east and west houses of Li's mansion, Shen Ying and Zhu Huiyu were doing almost exactly the same things, even their maids were basically doing the same things.

From time to time, the maid looked out through the crack of the door, while the hostess sat by the bed and waited silently.

After an unknown amount of time, seeing no sound outside the door, the two hostesses were extremely disappointed and thought that Li Jing had arrived at each other's room.

Li's East House.

Seeing Xiaodie looking out from time to time, Shen Ying sighed softly: "Xiaodie, don't look... The master may have gone to the princess's room, you go to sleep."

"No, the master hasn't been home for half a year, after returning home, how can he not come to Miss's room?" Xiaodie asked anxiously.

Shen Ying shook her head lightly, and sighed slightly: "You are such a silly girl, the princess gave birth to a son for the master this time, so the master naturally loves her more."

"Miss also gave birth to a son for Master, and Master loves Young Master Anguo very much." Xiaodie said separately.

"That's different. She is the princess, and I can't compare to her after all." Shen Ying sighed softly.

"My master is definitely not that kind of person. My master doesn't care about who is noble. Besides, in my eyes, even a princess is nothing!" Xiaodie said anxiously.

Seeing that Xiaodie was in a hurry to tell Li Jing apart, Shen Ying suddenly chuckled: "Xiaodie, you know your master better than I do, I think you must love your master, right?"

When Xiaodie heard Shen Ying teasing herself, her small face flushed immediately, she swayed for a while, but finally said nothing.

After a while, Xiaodie suddenly said: "I'll go out and see if the master is in the princess's room."

After hearing this, Shen Ying said anxiously: "Don't go, if the master finds out, I don't know how to feel in my heart!"

"It's okay, I'll know it from a distance." Xiaodie said.

Saying that, Xiaodie gently pushed open the door and tiptoed out.

Shen Ying sighed softly and shook her head helplessly.

After a while, she suddenly heard Xiaodie whispering outside, Shen Ying was startled, she hurriedly got up and opened the door and asked, "Xiaodie, what's going on outside?"

Only Xiaodie said in the distance: "It's okay, I just saw Azhu."

Shen Ying was startled, and asked casually: "Azhu? Azhu is not serving the master in the princess's house, what is he doing in the yard?"

Immediately, Shen Ying realized that Li Jing hadn't come to the princess's house, thinking that Zhu Huiyu thought Li Jing was with her, so she sent A Zhu over to have a look.

After pondering for a while, Shen Ying shook her head lightly again, Zhu Huiyu would never do such a thing, Azhu must have made her own decision just like Xiaodie.

Wanting to understand this point, Shen Ying smiled slightly, and said softly to the outside: "Azhu, you tell the princess sister that the master may live in the study, please come to the study with me!"

"Yes, ma'am." A Zhu answered outside.

After a while, Xiaodie turned back into the room and saw Shen Ying, Xiaodie blinked her eyes, meaning naturally: "Miss, am I right?"

Shen Ying smiled slightly and said: "Xiaodie, the master must have drunk a lot of wine at Mr.'s place, you can make a bowl of hangover soup, and we will send it to the master."

"Yes!" Xiaodie replied.

……

Li Jing's residence is actually a side house in the Yamen, which is next to the main house where Yuan Keli lived.A convenient door was opened in the middle, Li Jing went to Yuan's mansion, or Yuan Keli went to Li's mansion through this door.

Allowing Yuan Keli's family to live in the main residence is a manifestation of Li Jing's respect for his teacher.

Because the main house is far-reaching, with rockery, flowing water, flowers and trees, and pavilions inside, it can be described as an elegant environment. Yuan Keli is old and quiet, which is suitable for Yuan Keli to live in.Moreover, Yuan Keli has a large family, and the house cannot accommodate so many people.

However, even if it is a side house, the area is not too small, and it is divided into front and back.

The back house is the back house, which is the residence of Li Jing's family members, and the front house is used by Li Jing to handle official business and meet his subordinates.

There are two study rooms in Li Jing, one is in the back house, between the residences of the two wives, when Li Jing rests, he sometimes reads in this room, and occasionally handles official business in this room.

In fact, this study is mostly used by Shen Ying and Zhu Huiyu. Shen Ying and Zhu Huiyu manage many properties under Li Jing's name, and they stay in this room when they handle assigned affairs.

The other study is in the front house, where Li Jing handles most of his daily business.

There is a gate to go from the back house to the front house, and it is at the door that Shen Ying and Zhu Huiyu met.

In fact, Shen Ying and Zhu Huiling were basically together during the day, and they even lived together when Li Jing was not at home.

But when they met at this time, and even though Shen Ying took the initiative to invite them, their expressions were a little unnatural.After all, we are all women and have exactly the same thoughts, so it is impossible not to be jealous.
