Chapter 44: Jewelry

At night, Mindoro Island fell into darkness, looking south from the balcony of the military palace, the jungle seemed to be boundless in the night, and a little light was shining in the distance in the deep forest, which was the gold mine near the military palace still working.

The sky is full of stars, and the salty smell of the coast blown by the night breeze also brings coolness, and his hand is pressed against the window lattice and looks at Chen Mu in the distance, and his shoulders are covered with thin clouds. He didn't look back, just raised his hand to hold the person over his chest, gently covered the slightly bulging abdomen of the person in his arms, and lowered his head to sniff the breath of the other person's neck.

After a long time, he said, "When the baby was born, I might have been in Burma. ”

Yan Qingyao didn't raise his head, that is, he was a mother, his eyebrows and eyes were stretched out to be more gentle, but he just said in a quiet voice: "The slave family is a prophecy, saying that the military master wants to show his prestige overseas, no wonder others." Master Jun, when you go on the expedition, I want to go back to Guangzhou and go to the Buddhist temple to pray for the soldiers. ”

Chen Mu's eyes narrowed into crescent moons, silent but sweet in his heart, he shook his head in surprise, and after a while, he tilted his head solemnly at Yan Qingyao's puzzled eyes and said, "Absolutely not." ”

"Dragon and Tiger Zhenjun is a Taoist god, and what he does is the work of recruiting believers, and his peers are enemies, and he can't let the Buddha know the news that we are going to go on an expedition."

Chen Mu said very seriously blasphemous and extremely immodest words, which made Yan Qingyao laugh lightly, and said: "If the slave family goes to worship the Dragon and Tiger True Monarch, it is estimated that he will not be effective." ”

"Ling, the Dragon and Tiger True Monarch has appeared, and asked you if you want a black bead necklace or a white bead ring, which one do you want?"

"Hey!"

Yan Qingyao burst out laughing, his eyes rolled slightly, and said, "The slave family told the Dragon Tiger True Monarch in their hearts, the gods know, so do you know?" ”

Outside the window, the moonlight blew the green silk dance, Chen Mu looked at Yan Qingyao and didn't speak, and only after a while did he widen his eyes comically and opened his hands and said, "Dragon and Tiger Zhenjun knows, but I don't know." ”

Then he touched it in his arms, and the flint lightly ignited the red candle hanging on the wall, and his right hand had already taken out the sandalwood box and grinned: "I don't know, so I have it." ”

Under the flickering candlelight, carved butterflies catch flowers in the sandalwood box lying down jewelry, hollow silver inlaid jade peach heart black bead necklace, hollow gold inlaid jade distraction white bead necklace a pair, silver flower magpie black bead ring, gold silk peony white bead ring a pair.

"Last year, the pearls were sent to Beijing, and they were secretly beaten by the 24 Yamen Silver Workshop in the Imperial Front Workshop, do you like it?" Chen Mu pretended to pouted and said: "I like it, it's good-looking, it's done for the New Year, I've been carrying it for almost a year, and I'm reluctant to give it to you." ”

"Gozen Workshop!" Yan Qingyao was happy, looking at the two pairs of jewelry and couldn't put it down, when he heard this, he suddenly raised his head and glared: "It was done last year, and the military master has been holding it?" ”

Chen Mu was serious, raised his chin and looked at the ring necklace reluctantly, and pointed and said: "That's not it, look at this jewelry, the royal workshop is different, there are more craftsmen in the craft world, but there is no such design outside the palace...... What to do with your mouth puffed out, I'll tease you. ”

"The first time I did this, although it wasn't stealing, it was good to play up and down, and the gold, silver and jade beads were all our own, but it was against the law to let the royal workshop make things, and I was afraid that the palace would be held accountable, but it was more afraid of fighting and killing people."

Sai Donkey, whose face is thicker than the city wall, never concealed his cowardice in front of his family, and said: "After waiting for almost a year, the gold is about to melt, seeing that Xu Jue is still in the command position, it is estimated that it will be fine." ”

Yan Qingyao understood, his eyes were full of doubts, he asked Xu Jue to do it, and the accident was also Xu Jue's accident, what are you so afraid of?

"Be careful to make the 10,000-year-old ship." The famous Nanyang Chen Shuai secretly rejoiced in his shrewdness in entrusting people to make jewelry, and said: "People can't always do good things, and it's very tiring to save the world all day long, so it's exciting to do some of these things!" ”

Yan Qingyao looked at the jewelry, his eyes said helplessly, and looked at Chen Mu, with care for the mentally handicapped written on his face.

"Didn't the military master say that he wouldn't fight with Burma, I heard that the sweet potato said that the sons of the old Liu family were squeezed away, and when Brother Liu came, he was arrogant and went back without saying a word." The joy of the new jewelry could not stop the worry that the war was coming, Yan Qingyao said: "Why do you still have to fight, and you have to go out in person." ”

"Run?"

Chen Mu chuckled and shook his head, "I didn't squeeze Liu Xiaodao, do you know Xiyi's doctor, just chop your feet and chop your head, the local officials of the imperial court treat Tusi like arrogance, but in fact, it is just a small family's temperament, this kind of spirit does not change, it is useless how much territory I have laid for the imperial court." ”

"How great must a nation be to have both the courage to be punished even if it is far away, and the heroism of the Heavenly Khan? Even if the country is broken, this temperament will be hidden for decades or hundreds of years, but it will not disappear, and the T-shaped intersection in Beijing is because the Mongolian cavalry can't run away after the city is broken, so as to stop them - we live in a world changed by war, and war will definitely change the next world. ”

"I said that Liu Ling said Liu Xian, I wanted them to be more cautious, it's not that I don't respect them, on the contrary, I respect them very much, but I don't want them to know."

"That land has been fighting with us for thousands of years, and it is much stronger than my previous opponents, the Japanese and the Xiyi, and fighting them is dead."

"It is because I have to die that I must go out myself."

"But, just like Guam, if you recruit Lin Manjue back, General Chen and General Deng are here, they can win."

Even if everyone in the world doubted Chen Mu's combat ability, Yan Qingyao would not doubt it, she was just worried: "The military master doesn't have to go out in person, shouldn't the military government strategize?" ”

Chen Mu glanced out the window, there was still a light on in the mansion not far from the yamen of the military government, he held Yan Qingyao, pointed to the high-arched mansion, and said: "People are old and lack sleep, you see that the old man has not slept yet, and there are people in the military government who are strategizing." ”

"If I want to change that land, I must understand it, there is no other way to really understand, I can only see it with my own eyes, I can't change it if I don't understand, there is the largest land and the most land outside the Ming Dynasty, there is the famous Champa rice, there is an outlet to the Indian Ocean, and it can feed millions of people."

"What's more, I can't push young people to the battlefield, but I sit in the back, reading the battle report word by word, are you willing to marry me like this at the beginning?"

Yan Qingyao nodded without hesitation, in fact, she knew in her heart that all the persuasion before the war was in vain, but she still wanted to try, she said: "The slave family is willing." ”

This caught Chen Mu by surprise, and after a pause, he stammered and said, "I, I always thought that you married me because I was brave, but I didn't expect it to be because I was handsome, alas." ”

Yan Qingyao was silent.

It took a long time before she raised her head again and said, "Master Jun, the slave family now believes that you will definitely win without the blessing of the Buddha." ”

"Why?"

"Mang Yinglong's weapons can't hurt you, especially your face."

Chen Mu put his hand into Yan Qingyao's hair, smiled contentedly, and said: "Okay, if you are really willing to worship, tomorrow morning I will order Beigang to build two more Mazu Niangniang temples, I will worship Niangniang at sea, and when the news of the landing comes back, you will worship the cannons behind Niangniang, they are my good friends." ”

Chen Mu, who closed the window, finally breathed in the night breeze and looked at Beigang with a sense of relief.

If the army is defeated, the thirty-six cannon temples will be connected to form shore fortifications, which can save this overseas gold mining island for the Ming Dynasty and allow his children to be born safely.

"All is well, sleep!"./14_14088/
