987 Wife and Shadow Son
Everyone has the right to choose, Lin Xun'er went to find her relatives and did not inform Zheng Peng, but Zheng Peng did not blame Lin Xun'er, but felt a little guilty about her.
As a husband, at such an important moment, she should be by her side, however, Lin Xun'er chose to go on the road alone, obviously knowing that she was busy, she didn't even say hello and went on the road, which was a bit heart-wrenching, but fortunately, Lu Shu sent someone to take care of her, and begged Cui Yuan to send someone to protect her secretly.
"I hope Xun'er can find her relatives, Lu Shu, if there is any news of Xun'er, remember to inform me in time." Zheng Peng sighed and quickly commanded.
"Got it, husband."
Zheng Peng looked left and right, and asked a little strangely, "What about Yuan'er?" ”
Lu Shu said with a wry smile: "The eldest father took him to prepare for the 100-day banquet, saying that it was his own banquet and let him make his own decisions." ”
"Calling the shots?" Zheng Peng's eyes widened, and he said with a look of disbelief: "A child who has just completed the moon, how can he be the master?" Isn't this nonsense? ”
If those children who are born smart may be able to speak more than a year old, but children who have just reached the age of one month and don't understand anything, how can they make their own decisions?
Lu Shu covered her mouth and smiled: "It's just nonsense, when you want to choose, you can take it to Yuan'er, Yuan'er will choose which side to see, or choose which side if you are interested, alas, that is, you can watch it for a while when you nurse the child and sleep, and the rest of the time is mostly watched by the eldest father." ”
Cui Yuan's love for his great-great-grandson, Zheng Fu can be said to be well known, and Lu Shu, as a junior, is not easy to say.
Zheng Peng lightly held Lu Shu's hand and said: "It's okay, you can rest well, he likes to take the child, let him take it, anyway, there are maids and nurses, it will be fine." ”
"Well, I know" Lu Shu nodded obediently, and quickly asked, "Husband, how is the railway being repaired?" ”
Zheng Peng put most of his mind on the railway on which he had high hopes, and Lu Shu listened a lot and was very interested in the railway.
Like someone, not only love his person, but also support his interests and career.
Speaking of the railway, Zheng Peng's interest immediately came, and said with great interest: "It is going very well, now it is divided into six sections of continuous construction day and night, the project has been carried out for most of the time, and it is estimated that it will be completed in one year, at that time this is an epoch-making project, maybe it can go down in history with Qin Zhidao, if you are lucky, maybe it can be comparable to the Great Wall." ”
"That's great, my husband is the best." Lu Shumei said with a smile.
For Lu Shu, it doesn't matter what "epoch-making" means, and fame is not important, Qin Zhidao and the Great Wall are also very far away for her, and she only thinks about one thing in her heart, that is, Zheng Peng is happy, Zheng Peng is satisfied, that is a good thing, Zheng Peng is happy, and Lu Shu will be happy.
The two talked and laughed, and when it came to happiness, Zheng Peng lifted the silk quilt and got back on the couch.
"Husband, this... The slave family may also... Not yet. Lu Shuqiao's face flushed, and she suddenly became nervous.
Wen Po said that it would take at least three months to have sex together, if now... No, I can't.
Seeing Lu Shu's nervous look, Zheng Peng smiled, gently hugged Lu Shu's waist, and said softly: "Don't be nervous, just talk and don't do anything." ”
Recently, I have been busy with the railway, and I don't care enough about Lu Shu, although Lu Shu has not complained or asked for anything, but Zheng Peng knows that she hopes that she can find time to accompany her more, and it is rare that she can relax and accompany her more in the past two days.
"Hmm" Lu Shu made a nasal voice that seemed to be coquettish, and gently leaned her little head into Zheng Peng's arms with a satisfied face, as well-behaved as a cute kitten.
Zheng Peng thought that Lin Xun'er would go out, that is, ten days and half a month, how could he come back in two months, so that he could catch up with his son's 100-day banquet, speaking of which, Lin Xun'er was also a little mother, and said that the 100-day banquet must give a big gift to Siyuan, to Zheng Peng's surprise, Lin Xun'er just asked someone to send back a set of clothes she sewed by herself and a set of jewelry made by a famous craftsman.
Lin Xun'er was not there, Zheng Peng and Lu Shu both felt a little uncomfortable, and they always felt that they were missing something, but in Cui Yuan's eyes, they seemed very sensible, and felt that Lin Xun'er deliberately walked away, not stealing the limelight of her granddaughter and great-grandson, and secretly praised her for being sensible.
Zheng Peng's family is strong, the limelight is flourishing, coupled with Cui Yuan's hard work, Xiao Siyuan's 100-day banquet is very lively, famous families, dignitaries, relatives and friends are very popular, not only a large number of Yuancheng Zheng family members rushed to Chang'an to participate in the banquet, that is, Li Longji, who is the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty, also led the prince, princess and concubine to participate, and the holy decree of the reward was read three times, the emperor rewarded the prince, the prince rewarded the concubine, and all kinds of imperial objects were dazzling, But the most eye-catching thing is the barony of Li Longji's finale.
The baron is the last title of the Tang Dynasty, don't look at the title is not big, but the significance is extraordinary, which means that Xiao Siyuan jumped into the ranks of the nobles with privileges, you know, many of the officials in purple clothes can not get the title in their lifetime, especially in the peaceful and prosperous era The title is even rarer.
In other words, the starting point of Xiao Siyuan's life is already an unattainable end for most people.
When Gao Lishi announced the decree, many people were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths for a long time, they knew that the emperor had given Zheng Peng a generous reward for his merits, but they didn't expect it to be so rich, but after a short period of surprise, they soon fell silent, and the most critical officials on weekdays did not object, but congratulated Zheng Peng with a smile.
Looking back, Zheng Peng's contribution to the Tang Dynasty is too great, the bicycle that improves transportation, the liquor that can greatly reduce casualties by cleaning wounds, the cement that can benefit the people and consolidate the border defense, the firearms that threaten the enemy's courage, and the fact that the Tang Dynasty has been suffering from Tibet for hundreds of years in one fell swoop, etc., which one is not a shocking achievement, or it is not a matter of making Zheng Peng a king with a different surname, but Zheng Peng is only a marquis now, obviously unworthy of the position, the government and the opposition have long dissented, and now it is considered to be a disguised compensation for his son.
Calculate it, Zheng Peng is still wronged.
Xiao Siyuan's 100-day banquet, in addition to the guests of the big banquet, also set up a long shed on the main road in the street, and invited the famous troupe to perform for three days, the people of Chang'an City can watch it for free, and there are free refreshments to eat and drink, which can be regarded as sharing some joy.
Cui Yuan originally wanted to make a flowing water banquet, anyway, his money could not be spent, but the officials of Chang'an City persuaded him, because on the day of the 100-day banquet, dignitaries and dignitaries gathered, even the emperor also came, and the public security was originally tense, if there were too many people, it would be troublesome, and in the end he could only give up, after all, something happened, even Cui Yuan could not afford it, so he gave up the flowing water banquet and donated a large amount of money to the temples in Chang'an City instead.
After three days of excitement, the city's eye-catching 100-day banquet was completed, Zheng Peng can breathe a sigh of relief and put his energy back into work, but for Cui Yuan, this is just the beginning, after the 100-day banquet, he will have to prepare for the first birthday and draw lots later, and he will go back to his hometown to worship his ancestors, because he was born in Chang'an, he is too young to travel long distances, and it is beyond reproach to hold the 100-day banquet in Chang'an, and it is not okay to go back to his hometown to worship his ancestors when he grows up.
Besides, he will be promoted to the knight in 100 days, which is a great thing to glorify the ancestors, so it is natural to celebrate, so as not to make people say that they are unfilial and forget their roots, of course, Boling also has to go back and go around, lest some red-eyed villains chew the root of their tongues behind their backs, saying that Boling Cui's third room has broken the incense or something.
It takes a lot of effort to do these things, but Cui Yuan is happy about it, and as soon as the 100-day banquet is over, he pulls Zheng Peng to discuss the first birthday and the matter of drawing lots, saying that this is called taking precautions.
"Feiteng, what do you think of the old man's thoughts?"
"Okay, it's good" Zheng Peng immediately said: "Everything depends on the will of the father." ”
Cui Yuan's plan is to wait for another month, wait until the Spring Festival Gala flowers bloom and embark on the way home, how to worship the ancestors, what guests to feast, and go to Boling to worship the ancestors of the Cui family, etc., Zheng Peng heard that his head was big, and he agreed again and again.
Changluo Expressway is in the most tense construction stage, he will definitely not be able to leave, and he will not have the time and energy to deal with these things, as long as Cui Yuan does not go too far, he will toss.
"Okay, then it's decided," Cui Yuan happily agreed.
After that, Cui Yuan thought for a while, and quickly asked: "How is your railway repaired, and do you still have money and silver?" ”
It's not easy, because of his opposition to road construction, Cui Yuan doesn't care about road construction, it's rare for him to take the initiative to ask, and he also mentions money, needless to say, he must be in a good mood.
Zheng Peng said with a relaxed face: "Everything is going smoothly now, it is estimated that it can be completed within a year, money and silver are not a problem, and the current income can be handled." ”
In front of the roadbed, mining ore, buying construction sites, slaves and raw materials, spending money like running water, so that money is often stretched, forced to issue "bonds" to relieve the pressure on funds, once also moved Lu Shu's dowry, although Lu Shu is willing, if Zheng Peng does not accept it, he is not happy, saying that Zheng Peng does not treat her as a family, but Zheng Peng intentionally or unintentionally received Cui Yuan's white eyes.
Fortunately, Datang is still prosperous, the people are rich and the country is strong, the earning power of Sanbao and Mingshi Distillery continues to expand, among which Sanbao has developed the most rapidly, and now Sanbao has become the leading woodware shop in Datang, integrating furniture, agricultural tools and civilian weapons, there are more than 80 branches in Datang states, ranging from a full set of household goods to small clips for clothes, as for the wine of Mingshi Distillery, it has long been sold in every corner of Datang.
Zheng Peng is most pleased that foreign trade has made great progress almost every quarter, which is related to the Tang Dynasty exterminating Tubo, the biggest obstacle to trade between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions countries, without Tubo blocking, exploitation, the Silk Road business exchanges are more lively and prosperous, the woodware and furniture of the Three Treasures, the liquor of the Mingshi Distillery and the unique mirror, are the commodities that the merchants of the Western Regions must bring back to China, so that Zheng Peng's income is like a pig's cage into the water, making a lot of money.
As soon as there is more money, the dividends of Gaolishi and Li Longji, who have invested in stocks, have also risen, and they are more satisfied with Zheng Peng.
