At the beginning of the year, Jiang Mingyue personally sent Lu'e out of the alley and then turned around.

At three o'clock in the morning, Lu'e quietly returned to the house with her baggage on her back.

In Lanxinyuan, Xie Rou looked at the returning people.

"Can you see my siblings?"

"I saw you. Madam asked me to bring gifts to you and the little princess!"

Song Rui, who was doing graffiti, put down her brush and ran over after hearing this.

"A gift? What gift?"

Lu'e handed the bundle to her master and said warmly: "There are a lot of them."

Xie Rou unpacked the baggage, and the first thing she saw was a brocade box. She opened the brocade box and took out the contents, and the crisp bells jingled.

"So beautiful! Mom, give it to me quickly." Song Rui jumped up and reached out for it.

"This is a wind chime. Mrs. Xie said that it can be hung in the little princess's house. As long as there is wind or someone touches it lightly, it will make a crisp and sweet sound." Lu'e explained to her master.

Xie Yuan handed the wind chime to his daughter: "Be careful not to break it."

Song Rui said softly, and shook the wind chime with her big eyes open.

The second one was a wooden box, which was slightly larger. Xie Rou opened it and saw that there were many square wooden strips of different sizes inside. The wooden strips were polished smooth and painted.

"Mrs. Xie said these are building blocks. There are also some drawings in the box. You can build the building blocks based on the drawings."

Xie Rou looked at the drawings and said with a smile: "My sister-in-law is really ingenious. Every time she sends these gifts, it always makes people's eyes shine."

"Yes! The little princess still likes it very much!"

Lu'e paused and said: "There is also a doll, which is also very beautiful!"

After hearing this, Xie Rou rummaged around and found it. She sat down with the doll and asked, "How are my siblings doing lately? Have you looked after my two children?"

Lu'e smiled and spoke to her master.

…………

At noon, Xie Yuan took advantage of his break to leave the Hanlin Academy and came to Jiang Ping. He took out the letter and handed it to him and said, "Send it to my father-in-law as quickly as possible."

"Yes!"

In the evening, Xie Yuan had just returned home. Before he could talk to his wife, Zhao Mingli came. Xie Yuan kissed his wife and said: "The order has been issued today. Brother Zhao will go to Yuanjiang Mansion in three days. He should be here to say goodbye to me at this time. You go to bed first, I may not be back until very late."

Jiang Mingyue nodded lightly.

In the living room in the front yard, Zhao Mingli looked at the people who came in and stood up.

"Thank you, brother. My transfer order has come down. I will be appointed as the deputy captain of the navy. I will start from the sixth rank. I will go to Yuanjiang Mansion with the three generals Dou and Wang in three days."

Xie Yuan nodded and asked: "Brother Zhao, how much do you know about the current situation in Yuanjiang Mansion? Do you know the purpose of sending you to the navy?"

"I don't know much about the situation in Yuanjiang Mansion. Most of it is hearsay. As for the purpose of the Holy Emperor sending us to the navy..."

Zhao Mingli walked to Xie Yuan and whispered: "I think the Holy One is dissatisfied with General Zhang. First, he asked us to supervise him, and second, he weakened his control over the navy."

Xie Yuan smiled when he heard this. It was good that he could understand these two points without knowing any inside information.

Xie Yuan took a sip of tea and said: "Brother Zhao is not completely right. The main purpose of the Holy Spirit sending you to the navy this time is to hope that you can fully master the navy."

Zhao Mingli was shocked when he heard this. And what Xie Yuan said next made him stand up in shock.

"The things Zhou Yan was involved in as an official are just the tip of the iceberg. Over the years, Zhang Zhongyue relied on the Holy Emperor's trust in him and became a lawless emperor of the Yuanjiang Prefecture. He seized iron ore and salt mines, secretly taxed the people, conscripted troops, and killed indiscriminately. The official has violated the taboo of the Holy One."

Zhao Mingli swallowed hard and looked at Xie Yuan in disbelief.

"This is the reason why the princes and the emperor were unwilling to let him go back to Yuanjiang Mansion before. If it weren't for the fear that the navy would completely lose control..."

Although Xie Yuan didn't say the next words, Zhao Mingli understood. He picked up the tea with trembling hands and took a sip to calm down his shock.

"After entering the Navy, either you will die or others will die. Brother Zhao, you must have a clear understanding of your situation."

After Xie Yuan finished speaking, he drank tea quietly and gave Zhao Mingli some time to digest.

After a while, Zhao Mingli let out a long breath.

"Thank you, brother, thank you very much, otherwise I might not even know how I died after joining the navy."

"You're welcome, I don't want anything to happen to Brother Zhao."

Xie Yuan put down his tea cup and looked at Zhao Mingli: "You guys will enter the navy first before Zhang Zhongyue, and the court will delay it for you for half a month.

That is to say, within this half month, you must gain a firm foothold as much as possible. Even if you cannot gain a foothold in the navy, you must recruit as many confidants as possible, because after Zhang Zhongyue returns to the navy, he will definitely deal with you deputy commanders. Colonel. "

When Zhao Mingli heard this, he felt the pressure doubled, but he was not afraid, because he knew very well that as long as he established a firm foothold in the navy and helped the Lord control the navy, he would be able to rise to prominence.

"Thank you, brother, what do you think I should do after joining the Navy?" Zhao Mingli humbly asked Xie Yuan for advice.

"We don't know what the specific situation is in the Navy. I can only give Brother Zhao two suggestions."

Zhao Mingli perked up his ears instantly, as if he was all ears.

Xie Yuan slowly spoke to him.

Time passed bit by bit. At midnight, Xie Yuan sent Zhao Mingli away and stood there for a moment in thought before turning around.

In the backyard, Jiang Mingyue woke up after being held in her arms by her husband. She put her arms around Xie Yuan's waist and asked, "Are you done talking?"

Xie Yuan said softly.

"I introduced my father-in-law to him. After he enters Yuanjiang Mansion, he will visit him as soon as possible. They will take care of each other in the next few months, and I will feel more at ease."

"My lord, thank you for your trouble."

Jiang Mingyue kissed her husband's thin lips. It was obvious that whether Zhang Zhongyue's incident happened or the Yuanjiang Mansion was in such a situation today, it was all the result of her husband's planning.

Xie Yuan gently touched his wife's black hair.

"This is what I should do as a son-in-law. Besides, if Zhao Mingli can gain a firm foothold, it will also be helpful for me to take up my post in Yuanjiang Mansion in the future."

Jiang Mingyue said softly, looked up at her husband and said, "I have some good news for you."

"What's the good news?" Xie Yuan asked tenderly, looking at the person in his arms.

"Lu'e came early in the morning. My sister is pregnant. It's been two months."

Xie Yuan smiled when he heard this.

"This is really good news."

"Sister is pregnant very well. She doesn't suffer from morning sickness and is not picky. She is just a little lethargic and likes to eat sour food. I gave the plums you soaked last year to Lu'e..."

Xie Yuan listened to his wife's story and kissed her forehead.

"You did a great job, thank you for your hard work."

"What's the point? It's not hard for me at all! Moreover, Lu'e's arrival today lets me know that we can often contact my sister in the future."

Yes! Lu'e's arrival is enough to illustrate Song Ren's current attitude towards them.
