Leng Xiang is happy, this is a great thing, but Mao Wenlong, who often doesn't pay much attention, was also excited after hearing it. After that, the news spread far and wide, and soon spread throughout the academy, and then sent by the government to the Beijing Division.

His father has a new concubine, and now he is happy, although he is not a fellow flesh and blood, but he is also a family. Mao Wenjing has always criticized his father very much, complaining that he has too few heirs, resulting in him being lonely and not even having a brother. It's okay now, although I don't know if it's a man or a woman, but I still have hope.

Overjoyed, Mao Jingwen also took it upon himself to spread the news to the whole country, so that everyone in the world could enjoy the Mao family together.

And after Leng Xiang was sure to be happy, she was also allowed to return to her hometown with her father to worship her ancestors. Traveling at this time, it is natural that safety comes first, and Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan jointly asked Mao Wenlong to send a secret guard escort.

Mao Wenlong naturally agreed happily, and directly asked Haoda to select a thousand Jingwei to escort the father and daughter back to their hometown. The night before saying goodbye, Leng Xuewen came to say goodbye to Mao Wenlong, and by the way, thanked Mao Wenlong for the gifts he had prepared for him.

There are more than a dozen carriages full of them, all of which are valuable things, and Mao Wenlong just wants to return home with a cold and beautiful literary style. The royal face can't be lost, no matter how you say it, it's your own father-in-law, and this bit of etiquette is still needed.

said goodbye to Mao Wenlong, and Leng Xuewen went to say goodbye to Hong Chengchou.

Hong Chengchou was very simple and instructed; "The past is gone, and it's only right to focus on the future. After returning to my hometown this time, open the knot in my heart, and forget about your heart. In the future, I will stay in this academy and live, and don't think about anything else. ”

Leng Xuewen rarely heard Hong Chengchou talk to himself like this, and Hong Chengchou at this moment is more like his father. The voice of the exhortation was still lingering in his ears, and Leng Xuewen was excited, and knelt down and thanked Hong Chengchou.

The next morning, the convoy set off slowly, and the road to Suzhou would not be so easy. Originally, Leng Xuewen could have been faster, easier, and more complete if he had taken the waterway. It's a pity that now that winter is approaching, there are signs of ice in some places on the sea, which makes Leng Xuewen helpless to choose the land route.

Leng Xiang is finally gone, and Mao Wenlong feels that he can concentrate on invention again. The steam engine warship must be built at the beginning of spring next year, otherwise Mao Wenlong's expedition to the sea will have to be postponed.

The yard, which used to be chattering non-stop, has returned to its former tranquility since Leng Xiang left. Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan are a little unaccustomed, but they are helpless, they can only count on Mao Wenlong to accompany them for more time.

The balcony of the small wooden building is no longer suitable for leisure, and the fierce cold wind can freeze people into popsicles in a short time. Mao Wenlong stood for a while, and hid back in the house to roast the fire.

Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan took a thick windbreaker for Mao Wenlong to put on. Chen Lan pouted and complained: "Xianggong is such a big person, why do you still know how to be cold and warm." Seeing that winter is about to begin, why are you still staying on the balcony? ”

Mao Wenlong was speechless when he was asked, of course he knew that it was cold outside, but it was boring to stay inside all the time. Unexpectedly, the cold outside was still beyond his expectations.

Under Chen Lan's service, Mao Wenlong put on his winter clothes and walked to the stove to roast the fire. When his body warmed up, he hesitated and said, "Xianggong wants to discuss something with you, you all sit down." ”

Seeing Mao Wenlong so serious, Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan didn't say much, they both sat next to Mao Wenlong and looked up at him.

Mao Wenlong pondered for a moment before speaking; "Seeing that winter is coming, I can't get out here. It's not good for my husband to stay at home and do nothing, so I'm going to move to the Ministry of Industry from tomorrow and I'll be busy with things there. ”

After speaking, Mao Wenlong looked at the second daughter very worriedly. However, the children did not react in the way he had imagined.

Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan glanced at each other and chuckled: "We all know that Xianggong is a person who can't be idle. Well, Xianggong wants to find something to do, and we can't keep delaying. But the prime minister promised us that he would come and meet us for one day every five days. If Xiang Gong can agree, we will also agree to move to the Ministry of Works. ”

Mao Wenlong was overjoyed when he heard this, and when he walked up, he hugged the second daughter and kissed him fiercely, and said excitedly: "Thank you for your understanding." ”

Hong Ziyan chuckled: "Then the Xianggong will accompany our sisters wholeheartedly today." ”

Mao Wenlong said boldly: "Of course, there is no problem with this. ”

Mao Wenlong enjoys the happiness of hugging left and right in his love nest, while Hong Chengchou is busy and busy. Xin Wei looked at him with a sad face, as if waiting for him to pronounce the sentence.

"This winter is coming earlier and colder than usual. In the early morning and morning, ice slag is formed in some places along the sea. Looking at this situation, it is clear that a heavy snowfall is unavoidable, which is a bad sign, and we should prepare for it in advance. Hong Chengchou worried.

"The teacher doesn't know that the Qingzhou prefect has sent an urgent report, hoping to read it to the general soldiers. The cold winter came early, and many crops in Qingzhou Mansion were frozen to death in the ground overnight, and it is an indisputable fact that this year's grain production is low and the harvest is lost. And this is just a Qingzhou mansion, and now the entire northern region is covered by severe cold, and I am afraid that a natural disaster is coming. "Although Xin Wei is just a dean, these things that worry about the country and the people have nothing to do with him.

It's just that he often stays with Hong Chengchou now, so he is affected by it, and he has become worried about what is going on in the world.

Hong Chengchou closed the emergency report sent by the Qingzhou Mansion in his hand, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I hope that the general army can think of a good way to minimize the losses of this upcoming natural disaster." ”

After speaking, Hong Chengchou took the urgent report from Qingzhou Mansion and left home. Xin Wei followed closely and went to find Mao Wenlong to find a way to prevent the arrival of natural disasters.

When Mao Wenlong looked through the urgent report sent by the Qingzhou prefect, he frowned. This will remind him of the Xiaoice River period at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

There have been such signs in previous years, but in the end they were only localized. And this year's cold is more intense than ever, which makes Mao Wenlong feel that he can't be underestimated.

Before Mao Wenlong could express his opinion, there was another knock on the door outside, and he hurried into the house with an urgent report in his hand. When he saw Mao Wenlong, he bowed his hand and said: "General soldier, an urgent report from the Beijing Division." ”

The three people in the room all had a premonition when they heard this, and then Mao Wenlong opened the emergency report to watch. Sure enough, as everyone had a hunch, the entire Ming Dynasty was hit by this cold wave, and there were disasters of varying severity in various places!
