Tang Xiuling felt envious as she listened to her mother's caring words to her sister, especially when Tang Zhongling said how Zhu Jun pampered her and treated her well.
While she was relieved, she actually felt uncomfortable for no reason.
When the year came up, she was startled, and then she scolded herself: "Tang Xiuling, Tang Xiuling, what's wrong with you?
My sister is living so well now, what's wrong with you? "
"At first I was afraid that the King of Wu would not understand the charm, but now I see that I am worrying too much!" When Mrs. Li saw her daughter's face glowing brightly when she talked about Zhu Jun, she knew that her daughter was completely in love.
She is also someone who has been there before, so she can still tell the difference between true and false.
Especially when he learned that Zhu Jun had prepared tens of thousands taels for his homecoming gift, as well as a large number of shops and land, he was even more happy from ear to ear, "It's so rich. No wonder the concubines in the palace kept thinking about it. Marry your nieces and nephews to the King of Wu!
My daughter, you have to keep an eye on King Wu. The more women there are around this man, the greater the competition will be..."
"I got it, mother!" Tang Zhongling nodded, knowing that the queen had arranged a lot of marriages for Zhu Jun. Although those people were all concubines, the people behind them were all his majesty's favorite concubines.
"Sister, congratulations on you, you married the right person!" Tang Xiuling said with a smile.
"Thank you, sister!" Tang Zhongling held her hand, "One day, you will be able to marry the person you love!"
Tang Xiuling glanced at her mother and saw her face darkening at a speed visible to the naked eye. She sighed faintly, "I hope so!"
...
Zhu Jun was not drunk this time, but after the meal, he was called by Tang Ding to drink tea in the study, "Xian son-in-law, when will you come back from Fengyang this time?"
"As short as half a year, as long as one year, or even longer..."
"Your Majesty asked you to supervise the construction of Zhongdu. What I mean is that you should leave this matter alone!" Tang Ding sighed when talking about Zhongdu.
"Why?" Zhu Jun asked calmly.
"I used to be one of the governors of the Central Capital. As you know, I was transferred back by His Majesty this time when I returned to the capital. My original intention was to teach you about culture, Taoism and military strategy, but what happened in the middle... this is not the case. said.
In short, things in Zhongdu are very complicated. You'd better not ask about the details of the construction supervision. Just wait until Zhongdu is completely built and His Majesty goes over to inspect it. "If it were someone else who went to supervise the construction, Tang Ding would definitely not say such a thing, but if it was his son-in-law who went there, then he had to say it.
"Why not get into the details?"
“First of all, if you don’t understand the supervision process, if you interfere, mistakes will inevitably be made.
Secondly, there are flying sand and rocks on the construction site, making it extremely easy to get injured.
Thirdly, if you interfere too much, you can easily be seen as taking credit.
Don't blame me for talking too much. It has been seven or eight years since the construction of this center, and many people are eyeing this achievement.
If you go there now, there must be many people slandering you in their hearts.
We are a family, so naturally we cannot let you suffer.
You have already reached the crown, so it stands to reason that you should have been feuded long ago.
And if I guess correctly, His Majesty will let you go to Fengyang to train troops this time! "
Zhu Jun was shocked. How could Tang Ding guess that Lao Zhu had issued an order but did not mention military training.
Seeing Zhu Jun's face full of surprise, Tang Ding said: "This is normal, both King Qin and King Yan have trained troops in Fengyang before.
Your Majesty cannot favor one over another. If you are training troops in the capital, that is against the rules! "
Sure enough, there is no fool who can follow Lao Zhu to this point.
Tang Ding seems to be reckless, but there is something subtle in his roughness.
Tang Ding seemed to be casually telling him these things, but in fact he was expressing his closeness, which made him lower his guard.
Thinking of what Li Shanren said yesterday, Zhu Jun felt that this trip to Fengyang was even more difficult.
If we get to the bottom of it, none of the people who supervised the production will be able to escape.
Tang Ding is his father-in-law, and Li Shanren is also serving as the housekeeper in his house. He can ignore the latter, but Tang Ding...
"Thank you, father-in-law, for the tip!" Zhu Jun handed over, "I don't care at all about Lao Shizi supervising the construction of Zhongdu, let alone taking credit from them. Moreover, Zhongdu is about to be finished, so go pick peaches, so as not to be looked down upon!"
Tang Ding nodded and said, "Why don't you let Zongyi go with you this time so that we can take care of each other?
Fengyang has been a bit chaotic recently. Although you have personal guards, one more person means more security. Zongyi is not as good as Bingyi in martial arts, but he is very familiar with Fengyang and can help you run errands and so on! "
Zhu Jun thought to himself, these two people want to put people around him, what is it if it's not surveillance?
Although he and Tang Zongyi can talk relatively well, he is not Wu Xia Ameng.
The more they pay attention to it, the more it explains the depth of Fengyang's water.
"Third brother serves in the Central Military Governor's Mansion, how can he get away with it? Although the people in my mansion are not very capable, it is not a problem to protect me!" Zhu Jun smiled.
"It doesn't matter, it's just an idle official position!" Tang Ding said.
"No, no, no, this time my father gave me an order and I have to do it by myself. My brother-in-law from Duke Xinguo also said he would go with me, but I didn't even agree.
If you ask the third brother to go with me, wouldn't it be unfair to favor one and favor others? It's hard to explain! Zhu Jun said embarrassedly.
Tang Ding sighed, "Okay, if you need help in Fengyang, just write back!"
Zhu Jun chatted with Tang Ding for a while before saying goodbye and leaving.
Seeing the couple getting on the carriage, Tang Ding's face was as sinking as water, "The water in Fengyang is very deep, but... King Wu has a pure mind and will not think too deeply. He is just training troops and supervising work. It's nothing." Big problem!”
...
When he returned to the palace, Zhu Jun was also very tired, but his body was exhausted but his spirit was very good.
He is really getting more and more curious about Fengyang now, but he has already sent someone to explore Fengyang.
Zhu Jun recalled what he had to do this time in his mind, and was planning to go to Guanyin Nu.
But Li Wanqiu blocked his way.
"Senior sister, it's so late, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
"Are you going to Fengyang?"
"Yes, didn't you already know?"
"Take me there!" Li Wanqiu said.
"Take you there?" Zhu Jun crossed his arms, "I'm not going for an outing, why are you going with me?
Maybe you won’t be able to come back for a year or a half, and you don’t even want your husband or your wife? "
"Who said that? I just... heard that there is a beautiful Yangtze River and Qinhuai River in Fengyang. I want to go there to see the scenery and relax. I will come back when I get tired of it!"
"Seriously?" Zhu Jun narrowed his eyes and approached Li Wanqiu.
Li Wanqiu couldn't help but take a step back, "Is there still a lie?"
She didn't dare to look into Zhu Jun's eyes, so she lowered her head slightly and looked at her toes, but accidentally caught a glimpse of the brocade bag on Zhu Jun's waist.
Suddenly feeling shy in his heart, he pointed and said, "That amulet was meant for you to put under your pillow when you sleep. Who asked you to carry it with you?"
