A Timely Wife

After Li Ruosong was ambushed, he did not retreat in a hurry. Instead, he gritted his teeth and destroyed the poppy valley according to the original plan, and then decisively led the rest of the people back into the devil's valley where no one dared to enter. Will not take the initiative again.

There are more than [-] envoys sent by the sixteen countries in the south, and they are basically the crown princes, generals, and prime ministers of various countries. Let alone the Southern Chu, even the Great Chu has never received so many people at the same time. After Xiong Ruoshan received the news, he led Xiong Ruofeng to work for more than ten days. From the reception process to the banquet specifications, from clothing to wine, meat and dishes, he had to take care of everything. Shen Shoufu has been in poor health since his two sons died in battle. However, the fact that the envoy group was coming to Nanjiang Mansion kept Shen Shoufu busy. After coming and going, Shen Shoufu couldn't afford to be ill.

Li Ruosong was busy arranging the defense of the west and north, and Chengdong didn't care about the reception at all. He was leading people to study weapons against frogmen, including the development of mines. Knowing who can take over Shen Shoufu's affairs, in the end it was the candidate selected by Shen Shoufu. This candidate is surprising, but after careful consideration, it makes sense. The person Shen Shoufu selected is Zhou Jinyan.

Zhou Jinyan has been with Shen Shoufu for nearly a year. It can be said what are the main tasks Shen Shoufu has on hand now, the progress of various tasks, what things have been arranged almost, and what things need to be urged again. No one knows the precautions better than Zhou Jinyan. In addition, Shen Shoufu has been consciously letting Zhou Jinyan face and solve some problems independently during this period. It can be said that Zhou Jinyan was trained as the future chief assistant. An extremely intelligent person, under the full cultivation of Shen Shoufu, Zhou Jinyan has initially shown his talent in government affairs.

Both Li Ruosong and Chengdong don't care about the person Shen Shoufu has chosen. Zhou Jinyan's identity is sensitive and sensitive, but not sensitive at all. He stays in the room like a woman. A man always has his own ideals and aspirations. If he blindly suppresses them, even if the two people can live together in the future, after a long time, the two people have different status, different vision, and different ideas. Coupled with the bondage of not having children, sooner or later the partnership will break up.

Chengdong has always felt that he has been able to go all the way with Li Ruosong to the present. He is a relatively rare man who does not go down. More importantly, I have been able to keep up with Li Ruosong's footsteps, or in other words, the status of the two people has always been equal.

No matter how big Li Ruosong's official position is, Chengdong will not lose to him. The two of them always talk about each other, unlike other families where the man spends a whole day outside and has nothing to do with his wife or husband when he returns home. Let’s talk, let’s talk about business, the other party doesn’t understand at all, is not interested, and can’t help, let’s talk about family matters, the man is not in the mood to listen, let alone take care of it, and he doesn’t think he should take care of it. You are working hard outside, but you are just taking care of the things in the backyard at home. You don’t have to worry about food and clothing.

The two of them have nothing to say, and they can still count on how much they agree with each other, and how they sing in harmony, it's just a joke. No matter how deep the relationship is, once there is nothing to say, they will always be separated after a long time, and they will be busy with their own work Individually, that's not living a life, it's just performing their own duties.

Cheng Dong felt that if Xiong Ruoshan wanted to live with Zhou Jinyan for a long time, the distance between the two of them could not become more and more distant, but had to get closer. Your thoughts must be on the same channel, otherwise, when the aftertaste of love dissipates, the relationship between the two people will almost wear off.

Although Xiong Ruoshan was reluctant to let Zhou Jinyan make himself too hard, but after Chengdong had a chat with him, Xiong Ruoshan still readily let Zhou Jinyan take over the work of Shen Shoufu temporarily. After the various baptisms that came, it was basically young people standing here, and the number was much smaller than before.

There are also veterans. The seven members of the cabinet are all veterans. Compared with the young officials, they are more mature and stable, and they look at problems more comprehensively and have a longer-term vision. They decided to cooperate with each other tacitly. In this case, instead of saying that Zhou Jinyan came to take over Shen Shoufu's work, it would be better to say that Zhou Jinyan came to implement Shen Shoufu's various arrangements.

The old ministers in the cabinet are all human beings. As the nephew of the deceased General Zhou, Zhou Jinyan has a very special status in the hearts of the little emperor and the Li family. They all know that Zhou Jinyan was sent to the Li family when he was very young. Growing up with the little emperor, after so many years, the status of these courtiers in the emperor's mind is absolutely incomparable to that of Zhou Jinyan. Of course, they have no intention of comparing with a young boy, and they understand Shen Shoufu's arrangement very well. Zhou Jinyan meant to take over the work, and before the little emperor could speak, these veteran ministers jointly signed a petition to support Shen Shoufu's request that Zhou Jinyan should work on his behalf when he was sick and recuperating at home.

The veterans all agreed, and of course those young people would not object, and there were also one or two idiots who jumped out and said that this matter was unreasonable, but before Xiong Ruoshan could speak, he was scolded by the veterans of the cabinet. , the idiots were even more stunned when they were scolded, but facing those old foxes, no matter how many words they had, they could only swallow them first.

Zhou Jinyan was very happy that he had such an opportunity. He had been studying with Shen Shoufu for two reasons. One was to supervise Shen Shoufu. After all, Shen Shoufu was a person who had made mistakes. The influence is just that Nanchu's luck is better, and he didn't hurt his bones because of this incident, but General Zhou's sacrifice made Xiong Ruoshan doubt Shen Shoufu's vision, and asked Zhou Jinyan to follow Shen Shoufu, which somewhat meant to help guard the gate .

The other one is that Zhou Jinyan is very interested in himself. Compared to following Xiong Ruoshan all day and night among the soldiers, Zhou Jinyan prefers to have conversations with those old foxes. I want to think about the meaning of your words. For a long time, you have to guess the wit in my words for a long time. Zhou Jinyan feels that this kind of brain matter is more attractive to him.

Xiong Ruoshan, who claims to be a good man who loves her husband, will naturally not discourage Zhou Jinyan's enthusiasm. Anyway, Zhou Jinyan is interested and smart, and he will not be a person who is easy to lose. Xiong Ruoshan is afraid that Zhou Jinyan will be bullied and eaten. I don’t dare to say it’s a loss, but after thinking about it, let’s not talk about whether Zhou Jinyan will be bullied, even if he is bullied, he is not put there for display, those old things should not be too shrewd, even For the sake of his own sake, he wouldn't bully too much, figured it out, Xiong Ruoshan talked with Shen Shoufu for half a day in person, and then Shen Shoufu followed with a little tail.

Zhou Jinyan is also indeed talented. Shen Shoufu took Zhou Jinyan with him for half a month, and he praised Zhou Jinyan in various ways. From the looks of it, he wished that Zhou Jinyan was his grandson. Naturally, he was more attentive when teaching Zhou Jinyan. Zhou Jinyan listened by the side, and afterward Shen Shoufu would ask some questions for Zhou Jinyan to express his thoughts. Occasionally, Shen Shoufu would suddenly ask Zhou Jinyan what kind of reaction he would make if he encountered any situation. Although Zhou Jinyan's answer could not Satisfied Shen Shoufu completely, but according to Zhou Jinyan's age, being able to say so much is considered very good.

Sometimes Shen Shoufu would be very proud to tell his colleagues that at such an advanced age, he finally met someone who could inherit his mantle. No matter what purpose Shen Shoufu said, Xiong Ruoshan was very grateful to Shen Shoufu. Because Zhou Jinyan's growth is obvious to all.

Zhou Jinyan was indeed able to deal with the matters left by Shen Shoufu. Under Zhou Jinyan's coordination, all preparations were advanced in an orderly manner. When it comes to those who want to do some small tricks to make things difficult for him, Zhou Jinyan never does it himself, but directly finds the corresponding cabinet minister and asks the minister to deal with the group of people he is in charge of.

The envoys from the sixteen countries in the south stayed in Pingnan Mansion for seven days. During these seven days, the guards of Pingnan Mansion generously showed them around. Even the artillery company allowed them to observe closely. This is Li Ruosong. As required, Pingnan Mansion has now replaced a batch of equipment. These equipment cannot be learned from the outside. If there is no Chengdong, even if they transport the equipment back, they will disassemble it all, and there is no way to manufacture it.

More importantly, Li Ruosong wants to send a message to the sixteen countries in the south through such a move. Don't think that we have nothing to do with you if you stick together, and don't think that you can challenge us with some guns in your hands. It seems to us that those things in your hands are like children's toys.

Although the method is simple and rough, it is unexpectedly useful. The military strength of Nanchu shocked these countries in the south, and what surprised them even more was the speed of construction of Nanchu. When they entered Pingnan Mansion, the people in Pingnan Mansion The houses destroyed by the war were being demolished. When they went to see them a few days later, the houses were almost built. They didn't know what materials were used, but the houses were built very fast.

Pieces of shaped materials that don’t know where they were used were sent to the construction site, and soon these materials were assembled to become the outer walls of the house, the stairs of the house, and the windows of the house. This kind of building This is the first time these people have seen the way in the south, and the shock is self-evident.
