Chapter 560: Catching a Whale
After leaving the Wu Mansion and sitting down not long after returning to the Political Affairs Bureau, Xu Changqing received the news.
Wu Xiang just drank two large bowls of porridge, and ate a few abalone and half a plate of sea cucumbers, not only his mood was smooth, but his whole state was also a lot better.
Xu Zhong, who was drinking tea with Xu Changqing, couldn't help but smile and said, "Lord, our Master Wu has finally figured it out." ”
Xu Changqing smiled and took a sip of tea: "When everyone is confused." Uncle Zhong, I'll leave this matter to you, and we'll talk about it when we have time. ”
"Lord, don't worry, your subordinates will do their best!"
Xu Zhong's eyes lit up, solemn and full of calmness.
Xu Changqing smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and didn't say anything more, but went out the door.
Although Xu Zhong was still in the Political Affairs Bureau at this time, most of the affairs had been transferred to the military, mainly responsible for intelligence work, and at this time he had almost completely taken over the stall left by Wu Sanfu.
He was also very satisfied with Xu Changqing's trust in him, and he kept holding his breath to do everything well.
And the reason why he is so tolerant of the Wu family and spends so much patience, Xu Changqing seems to be not untargeted.
There is an old saying in Huaguo: "A skinny camel is bigger than a horse." ”
The heritage of this old family cannot be described in words.
In short, Wu Xiang can talk to any army leader in the world at this time!
At this time, the nine sides have collapsed across the board, even if everyone wants to collect these good players, but Wu Xiang said at this time, he wants to recruit people, which is definitely 10,000 times better than Shi Butang, Xu Hongji and others!
Not to mention the intricacies of the in-laws.
In other words, as long as Wu Xiang does not fall, the connections and relationships that the Wu family has managed for several generations will be turned into nutrients for Xu Changqing.
Of course, Xu Changqing will definitely not lift a stone to shoot himself in the foot and leave hidden dangers for himself.
For Nanyang, Xu Changqing has been coveting it for a long time, and it is even more than the desire for beauty!
But there has been no opportunity, let alone energy.
And yet at this time!
The whole general trend has begun to stabilize, and Xu Changqing can already start the layout.
As a pathfinder, the old Wu family, including Wu Sanfu himself, are the best players.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if there is really a problem in the future, Nanyang will be a good way for Erlang to retreat......
There are indeed many traitors and scum in the Chinese nation, but many things cannot be generalized and beaten to death with a stick.
As the great man famously said, "It is still necessary to build a united front." ”
The most efficient and cost-effective means is to put these forces that cannot be fully controlled for the time being in the right place and let them continue to exert their residual heat.
After returning to the inner study and sitting for a while, Xu Changqing originally wanted to be lazy and go to Gu Hengbo or Kou Baimen to sit down and rest.
After all, these days are busy with war, and his fertile land has not been cultivated properly for a long time......
But after thinking about it for a while, Xu Changqing beckoned Wang Xi, the adjutant of the pro-soldier team at this time, and came to the new official hall.
The queen still has to move around a lot.
Especially when the layout of Nanjing is about to begin, including things like the mausoleum of Emperor Chongzhen, Xu Changqing has never discussed it with Empress Zhou.
What made Xu Changqing a little speechless was that when he came here, Queen Zhou was actually not there, and went shopping with Zhu Yujiao and others in disguise.
Xu Changqing couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Since coming to Haicheng, Queen Zhou has a bit of a desire to let herself go.
But that's not a bad thing either.
In the final analysis, losing her husband in her prime is also one of the tragedies in the world, and Queen Zhou is also a poor person.
There is no one here, Xu Changqing no longer stays here for a long time, seeing that the sky is about to get dark, he is about to beckon Wang Xi and others to go back to the house for dinner, because of the war, Xu Changqing has not accompanied his wife and mother-in-law to dinner for a long time.
At this time, a pro-soldier suddenly came excitedly to report: "Marshal, good news, good news." The brothers of the fishing team caught a big one, and now it has been dragged ashore, and the city is in a stir, and everyone goes to see it. ”
"Big guy?"
"What big guy?"
Xu Changqing couldn't help frowning.
The soldiers finally took a breath at this time, and hurriedly explained to Xu Changqing carefully.
Xu Changqing couldn't help laughing, it turned out that the fishing team had caught a whale, which made Xu Changqing also interested, "Let's go, let's go and have a look." ”
……
"I'll drop a mother, how heavy is this, is this still a fish? I'm afraid it's 10,000 catties, right? ”
"Heh, 10,000 catties, Zhang Laosi, look at your little timidity, 10,000 catties is a ball? In my opinion, this will cost at least 80,000 catties, well, that's right, to say the least, it will cost 80,000 catties. ”
"Phew! Liu Zhugan, you haven't been to school, you know a fart! I think there must be at least 100,000 catties......"
“……”
At this time, on the second civil wharf of Haicheng, there was already a sea of people, and against the backdrop of countless fires, everyone was looking at the behemoth by the sea with great excitement, just like a small mountain.
It is not far from a commercial area in Haicheng, where many new things can be bought, and it is time to close down at this time, so there are a lot of people watching the excitement, and they can't stop being excited.
"Auntie, this big fish, really, can it really have 100,000 catties?"
In the crowd, the figures of the two women were well protected by several female guards with knives around them.
A girl who was dressed plainly, her belly was already a little pretentious, but she couldn't hide the kind of high and noble girl, and looked excitedly at the taller and more dignified beauty next to her, and her beautiful eyes were full of expectation.
"100,000 catties?"
"This, this shouldn't be possible. 100,000 catties of stones, I'm afraid it can be piled up into a hill. I guess it's probably a slight exaggeration. By the way, Jiao'er, don't get too excited, be careful of hurting the fetus. ”
The beauty nodded the girl's forehead in disgust.
"Hey, auntie, why are you chattering like the queen mother, I feel very good, and it will be fine. That's right, baby. You see, this fish is so big, so big. ”
The girl snorted and looked at the big fish happily.
The beauty was a little helpless, but she grabbed the girl's arm harder, but soon after, her beautiful eyes were a little dim......
Once, she was also pregnant, and it was very likely to be the prince, but unfortunately...... The past can't be traced with the wind......
However, she quickly adjusted her mood and looked at the girl beside her gently.
I don't know when, she has already regarded the girl as her daughter.
After looking at it for a while, seeing that the sky was about to get dark, she reminded the girl: "Jiao'er, it's not too early, let's not go back, your queen mother should be in a hurry." Let's go, with that person here, the good things in here won't be missing you. ”
"Oh, auntie, people haven't seen enough. Let's look at it for a moment. We finally came out once, why did we go back so early. Big deal, tonight, let's go to Haicheng Hotel and try their craftsmanship. I've heard for a long time that the chefs there are very good, but I haven't been there once. ”
"You girl."
The beauty was a little speechless, but she couldn't help but touch her little head lovingly.
As the girl said, how long will it take for them to come out with this identity?
Anyway, the security of Haicheng is excellent, and there are so many guards around to protect her, and the beauty gritted her teeth and decided to be willful, so that the girl could be happier.
But as soon as she made her decision, she suddenly heard a continuous voice not far behind her.
"I've seen Uncle."
"Uncle, the little old man kowtowed to you."
"Uncle, this is our freshly made dried fish, can you taste it......"
The girl also found someone at this time, after all, it was too conspicuous, that person was under the escort of more than 100 personal soldiers, and he gave up his hand to the people around him again and again.
But she snorted arrogantly and stopped looking at him.
Because she knew that the man would soon see her and come right away.
However, the girl can be willful, but the beauty is a little embarrassed for a while, and she doesn't want to meet that person head-on again......
Although the person treated her politely several times, the woman's natural sensitivity made her feel that that person almost wanted to eat her......
Just thinking about how to retreat, I suddenly heard a familiar laughter coming over: "Jiao'er, I said that I went to the official hall today to look for you and couldn't find it, but I actually came here." ”
Zhu Yujiao smiled sweetly, and took advantage of the situation to hold Xu Changqing's arm: "Xu Lang, I have always heard that the dishes of Haicheng Hotel are good, but I haven't been there once." No matter, I'm going to try the craftsmanship of Haicheng Hotel tonight. ”
Xu Changqing has long been accustomed to Zhu Yujiao's arrogance, and he also enjoys it very much, nodding with a smile: "Okay." I'll send someone to arrange it right away. ”
As he spoke, he motioned to Wang Xi to do it.
Wang Xi hurriedly sent his own soldiers to set the room.
Because Haicheng's maritime trade has always been very prosperous, this has also led to the business of Haicheng Hotel has been very good, especially in recent times, the military and the Political Affairs Bureau are buying a large number of various materials in other places, even if Xu Changqing does not book a room in advance, in addition to Haicheng Hotel, there may not be a good place.
At this time, Xu Changqing also said hello to Zhang Baozhu with a smile.
Zhang Baozhu Yingying nodded, and quickly looked away from Xu Changqing.
Xu Changqing also minded, and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go over and see this big guy." ”
Zhu Yujiao suddenly cheered excitedly, she had long wanted to go over to see this big guy.
Zhang Baozhu didn't want to go, but seeing that Zhu Yujiao had passed, she was afraid that Zhu Yujiao would not be able to stand the fishy smell, so she could only follow.
However, as soon as he walked to the beach, Xu Changqing stopped Zhu Yujiao and said with a smile: "Jiao'er, you just watch it here, and if you go over, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand the smell." ”
Saying that, Xu Changqing looked at Zhang Baozhu again: "Madam, I still bother you to take care of Xia'er." ”
Zhang Baozhu has always been a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune, she has long been tired of the title of 'queen', and through Queen Zhou's side, she has expressed this meaning to Xu Changqing several times.
thought that Xu Changqing didn't take it seriously, but at this time, when she heard that Xu Changqing actually changed her name, her mood couldn't help but become much clearer, and Yingying nodded to Xu Changqing.
"Why don't you let me pass? I'm not afraid of the taste? ”
Zhu Yujiao was suddenly unhappy here, and grabbed Xu Changqing, her beautiful eyes widened.
Xu Changqing couldn't help but smile: "Jiao'er, do you really want to go?" ”
As he spoke, whispered a few words in her ear.
"Huh?"
Zhu Yujiao's beautiful eyes enlarged violently, and then she hurriedly covered her small mouth hard, and hammered Xu Changqing's chest a few times angrily: "Xu Lang, you, can you not be so disgusting......
But he also lost the mind of looking at it carefully.
Seeing Xu Changqing's few words, Zhu Yujiao was shocked, and Zhang Baozhu's eyebrows and eyes softened a lot.
This person, although some things are domineering, but they are supple, but they really don't say that they are a little similar to the first emperor......
But when she thought of the first emperor, she couldn't help but grieve.
Countless beauty, countless prosperity, and countless pains can never be found again......
