Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 286
Ordering the gatekeeper to open the door, Shen Ying and Zhu Huiling looked at each other and smiled, walking side by side.

When they got outside the study, Li Jing's personal soldiers saw him and hurriedly bowed to salute the two wives.

Shen Ying waved her hand, signaling that the soldiers would be exempt from courtesy.

After the soldiers got up, they hurriedly opened the door for the two ladies.

In the study, Li Jing was writing something on the desk. When he heard the door knock, Li Jing didn't look up, but just said, "Xiao Wu, why aren't you sleeping? I've said it all, I don't need to wait here."

Xiao Wu hastily stepped forward two steps, and whispered back: "Marshal, Madam is here."

"Ah?" Li Jing was startled, stopped writing, looked up, and saw two wives and two maids standing behind Xiao Wu, looking at him with a smile.

Putting the pen on the shelf, Li Jing hurriedly got up: "It's so late, why don't the two ladies rest?"

"The master never rested, how can the concubine rest?" Shen Ying laughed.

As he spoke, he took the food box from Xiaodie, walked to Li Jing's side, opened the food box, and took out the soup bowl and soup cup.

Scooping up a cup of soup with a spoon, Shen Ying offered it to Li Jing with both hands and said, "Master drank a lot of bars at Mr.'s house, drink a bowl of soup, sober up."

Li Jing took the soup cup, took a sip, then pointed to the food box in Azhu's hand, and smiled wryly at Zhu Huiling: "I guess you also took hangover soup?"

Shaking his head, Li Jing smiled wryly and said, "Bring it here, I'll drink it together. I reckon I'm not drunk tonight, but I'll be drunk by the soup of both of you."

Listening to Li Jing's teasing, Shen Ying and Zhu Huiyu blushed slightly, but Zhu Huiyu finally took the food box from A Zhu, put it on Li Jing's table, and then scooped up a bowl of soup and handed it to Li Jing like Shen Ying did. scene.

Li Jing took the drink, put the soup cup on the table, and then pulled two chairs casually: "Sit down, I don't have time to talk to you at Mr.'s house today, since you are here, let's talk for a while. "

Shen Ying and Zhu Huiling gave each other a little blessing: "Thank you, master!" before they sat down on the chairs.

Seeing the two wives being so courteous, Li Jing secretly sighed, this is the so-called raising eyebrows together.

In modern times, Li Jing had never been in love, but he also knew that it would never be possible to find such a woman in modern times.

Gently hold the hands of the two wives, then join the palms of the three together.Li Jing said softly: "I am away from home, and everything at home is managed by two good wives, thank you both for your hard work!"

"Master is a person who does big things, we can't help you with anything, we can only help you with some housework." Shen Ying smiled.

Li Jing shook his head, smiled lightly and said, "What you are doing is also a big deal. Most of Ji Shijun's expenses are earned by you two. Without you, I would have to be caught blind."

"Master's ability is great! It's just that he doesn't have the energy to do these things." Zhu Huiling offered a little flattery.

Li Jing stretched out his hand and tapped Zhu Huiyu's nose lightly, smiled and said, "Your ability is not bad, I still have to ask you for advice on some things."

Li Jing's words were meant to be teasing, Zhu Huiyu blushed slightly, and peeked at Shen Ying, seeing that Shen Ying's expression was as usual, he just ignored it.

Zhu Huiling rolled his eyes, looked at Li Jing's writing case and asked, "My master hasn't rested so late, what are you writing?"

Li Jing was amused when he saw Zhu Huiyu talking about him from left to right.Suddenly, his heart moved, and he picked up the unfinished regulations on the case and handed them to Zhu Huitian, saying, "Take a look, and see if there is anything missing?"

Zhu Huiling was taken aback for a moment, she just wanted to find a topic to divert from the embarrassing scene just now, but she didn't want Li Jing to actually hand over what she wrote to her for reading.

Zhu Huiyu knew very well that in Li Jing's current position, as a wife, she should try to avoid talking about the official affairs handled by Li Jing, which is the same reason that the harem should not interfere in politics.

But Li Jing asked her to read it, but she couldn't help but read it. Zhu Huiling hesitated to take the paper from Li Jing, and then turned his gaze to Shen Ying.

Seeing this, Li Jing stretched out his hand and patted Zhu Huiyu's head lightly: "Where did you put so much thought into it? Just let you see it, and help me read it."

At this time, Zhu Huizhen knew that Li Jing really asked him to help him to read the details, so he took the paper and read it carefully.

At this moment, Xiaowu, the personal soldier, poured hot tea for Li Jing and the others with a teapot: "Marshal, two ladies, please drink tea!"

Li Jing smiled and took the teacup from Xiaowu's hand: "Xiaowu, it's getting late, you should go to bed earlier, there are people watching outside the gate, you don't have to guard outside my door all night."

Xiao Wu nodded, put down the teapot, exited the room gently, and closed the door behind him.

Shaking his head, Li Jing looked at the door and said, "Madam, I bet you that Xiao Wu is definitely still guarding the door."

"Master, this is also the child's filial piety, let him go." Shen Ying sighed softly.

Li Jingwen nodded silently, then suddenly said after a while: "By the way, it's time for Xiao Wu to start a family. Is there any suitable girl in our house?"

Shen Ying gave Li Jing a white look: "Where are there any maids who have never been married? In the past few years, almost all the maids bought by me and the princess sister have married your soldiers. Now the only ones who have never married are Xiaodie and Azhu. No, I promise Xiaodie to Xiaowu?"

Hearing this, Li Jing coughed hastily, Xiao Die is the housemaid, she is Li Jing's concubine, she promised to Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu dare not take it!

"However, sir, there is a suitable one, but I don't know if you are willing to part with it?" Shen Ying said after a moment of pondering.

Li Jingwen glared at Shen Ying: "What are you talking about? I'm reluctant to part with it. You're talking nonsense!"

Shen Ying smiled lightly and said, "Didn't you keep it for yourself? Otherwise, why haven't you found someone else yet?"

Li Jing frowned: "Who are you talking about?"

Shen Ying smiled and said: "Xin'er, when you ordered someone to send her home, I didn't know what you wanted, so I asked her to serve your husband. It's been almost three years now!"

"Xing'er? Ah! I remembered, you said that little girl! When the bandits captured Lingchuan, I rescued her in Zhou Hengchen's mansion! Is that little girl not married yet?" Li Jing suddenly asked.

"Without you, who would dare to marry her?" Shen Ying rolled her eyes at Li Jing and said.

Hearing this, Li Jing knew that what Shen Ying said was half-truth and half-false, and it couldn't be considered a joke, so he smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think your husband is like this?"

Shaking his head, Li Jing continued: "Xing'er is smart and well-behaved, and he is a good match with Xiao Wu. You can find a time to tell Mr. to betroth Xing'er to Xiao Wu!"

Shen Ying nodded slightly, turned her eyes to the door, and sighed: "Those children back then have grown up now, and the master has arranged a family for them. In their eyes, the master is their father. They don't know how The only way to repay the master is to serve the master wholeheartedly!"

Li Jingwen nodded silently, then suddenly said after a while: "Have Jizu and Jizong come over today? How are you brothers and sisters talking?"

Shen Ying smiled lightly after hearing this: "I've been here, they are well-behaved now, and they came home like kittens, not daring to breathe. Master, I really have to thank you, if it weren't for your subordinates back then Be merciful, my two elder brothers will never see each other again!"

Li Jing shook his head: "It's not that I'm being lenient. Sigh! When my father-in-law begged me on his knees, how could I have the heart to make it difficult for him? Besides, your Shen family has made great contributions to the Ji Shijun. With this contribution, the two of them can be saved from death." .”

After a pause, Li Jing sighed: "It's just that the Shen family has set a precedent for the Jishi army to pay for crimes with merit. After careful calculation, it may not be a good thing for the Shen family. I just hope that the two brothers can understand this truth. If you do something stupid again, I won't be merciful next time! Ma'am, you have to understand, I can't take the lead in bending the law for personal gain! If I don't set an example for everyone, everyone will follow suit, and it won't be long before the officials would be corrupt."

Shen Ying nodded silently.

Looking up and seeing Zhu Huiyu holding the paper and looking at him, Li Jing smiled and said, "Huiyu saw something, tell me quickly."

Zhu Huiling hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know if it's right or not, I'm just stating my opinion."

Li Jing said with a smile: "Whether it's right or not, it's good to have an idea, let's brainstorm!"

Zhu Huiling nodded and said: "I think this new order formulated by the master is mainly aimed at officials. According to the concubine's opinion, it is better to expand the scope. Mr. Yangming said that the unity of knowledge and action, Pingyang Mansion was built. Many academies, the students in the academies only know how to study all day long and have never been exposed to practical affairs. Among these people, I am afraid that many of them will become officials in the future, and they cannot wait until they become officials to experience people's livelihood. It means that these students are included in the norms of the new order."

Hearing this, Li Jing pondered for a while, then suddenly clapped his hands and smiled and said, "Hui Lai's idea is good, those students should also be included in the norms. And we can't just let them experience the people's livelihood, but also let them go to the army to experience it."

With that said, Li Jing picked up the pen from the desk and waved to Zhu Huiyu: "Come on, Huiyu, grind it for me, and I'll write it again."

Of course, Zhu Huiyu didn't need to do such a thing like grinding. Xiaodie and Azhu stood next to each other for a long time, worrying that they had nothing to do. After hearing Li Jing's words, they hurried to the desk, one laying paper and the other grinding.

Seeing that Li Jing still wanted to deal with official business, Shen Ying shook her head, pointed at Xiaodie and A Zhu and said with a smile: "You two silly girls, the master hasn't come home for half a year, and he drank at Mr.'s tonight, don't you persuade the master Resting will only add fuel to the flames. What if the master is exhausted?"

Li Jing was stunned when he heard the words, and immediately stopped. After thinking for a while, he put the pen back on the shelf, and then said with a smile: "It's my fault, I let you follow me around in the middle of the night. Forget it, let's stop here today. "

After looking at Zhu Huiyu, Li Jing continued, "I'll stay at Yingying's place tonight, and I'll see you tomorrow."

Zhu Huiling nodded slightly.

……

A few days later, Li Jing re-enacted a new decree based on Zhu Huiling's proposal.

In fact, this decree has appeared in modern times, but because of his age, Li Jing only heard about it and never experienced it himself.

This decree is actually going to the mountains and going to the countryside, going deep into the countryside.

As soon as this decree formulated by Li Jing came out, it immediately aroused great repercussions.
