Judging from Hong Chengchou's description and his expression, Mao Wenlong didn't have to guess at all, he already knew that it must be Hong Ziyan's mother and daughter who were coming.

Hong Chengchou saw Mao Wenlong's expression, and already knew the answer, and asked the old housekeeper behind him to bring people over with a smile.

The arrival of Hong Ziyan's mother and daughter was indeed very surprising to Mao Wenlong, but after the difference, Mao Wenlong was also very happy. There is no hope for homesickness, but I didn't expect a family member to come over to reunite with me.

When Mao Wenlong was happy, Hong Ziyan's mother and daughter came under the leadership of the old housekeeper. The moment Hong Ziyan saw Mao Wenlong, her face was full of peach blossoms, but there were tears in the corners of her eyes, obviously her longing was too full.

And her daughter Mao Yingxuan was not so reserved, she shouted her father in a coquettish voice, and then flew directly into Mao Wenlong's arms. Then he began to sob, and all of a sudden he wet Mao Wenlong's clothes.

Stretching out his hand to help the girl, Mao Wenlong looked up and down, and after a long time, he looked at Mao Yingxuan shyly, and then said with a smile: "Yes, yes, my princess is now slim and has grown up!" ”

Mao Yingxuan is already eighteen years old, if it were a girl from another family, she would have been married at this time. However, Mao Wenlong had a strict order that his girl must be over 20 years old before she can talk about marriage.

Such an argument was criticized by many ministers at the time, including Hong Chengchou, and it was also quite criticized. But Mao Wenlong didn't have any compromises, he stubbornly implemented this rule. As a result, the current Mao Yingxuan is still waiting to be married.

was praised by her father, Mao Yingxuan looked very shy, but it was only for a moment. This girl has always been wild, and she is also crazy when she plays, but she will not be embarrassed easily.

"Father, you have been gone for three years, and I don't know how to go back to see us, but my brother misses you very much." While Mao Yingxuan was talking, she also turned to look at her mother, who was already standing behind her.

A trace of silence flashed on Mao Wenlong's face, but he hid it very quickly, and then got up and looked at Hong Ziyan, who was still teary-eyed. Mao Wenlong couldn't help but step forward and hug her into his arms.

Hong Chengchou, Haoda, Haoxiao, and the old housekeeper all left quietly, leaving the hall to Mao Wenlong's family.

At first, Hong Ziyan was still very shy, but when she saw that there was no one else in the hall, she let go of some.

Mao Wenlong let go of Hong Ziyan, looked at her shyness, reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said with a smile: "Fool! ”

A gentle fool made Hong Ziyan cry again, and this time she cried very much. Hong Ziyan was already controlled by emotion, and she took the initiative to hold Mao Wenlong and refused to let go.

Mao Wenlong did not push Hong Ziyan away again this time, but let her hug herself tightly, a warm scene, which made Mao Yingxuan, who was ignored on the side, very helpless. After hesitating for a while, Mao Yingxuan simply sneaked out by herself.

After a long time, Hong Ziyan gradually stopped crying under Mao Wenlong's comfort. After the mood stabilized, Mao Wenlong let go of Hong Ziyan again, let her sit down, and once again wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Xianggong, my sister and sister are also very concerned about you." After Hong Ziyan calmed down her emotions, she opened her mouth to say to Mao Wenlong.

Mao Wenlong smiled, nodded and said, "Xianggong has always been worried about you. ”

After a pause, Mao Wenlong continued to sigh; "It's a pity that Xianggong doesn't know when he will return, and I don't know how long he will fight in this vast sea in the future?"

Hong Ziyan immediately became nervous, she had heard that Mao Wenlong had already conquered the Japanese Kingdom, and thought that Mao Wenlong should be able to return to Daming soon. But now listening to Mao Wenlong's tone, it seems that things are not what she thinks!

"Xianggong is still going to the sea to fight, won't he go back to Daming?" Hong Ziyan was suddenly very flustered.

You must know that if Mao Wenlong continues to fight at sea, then she and Mao Wenlong may not be together for long at this moment. There is a more serious problem, that is, once Mao Wenlong continues to go on the expedition, she and her daughter will definitely not be able to follow him. That is, it is very likely that after Mao Wenlong continues to go on the expedition, they will either stay in the Wa Kingdom or return directly to Daming.

Neither of these options is what Hong Ziyan wants, what she wants is to be with Mao Wenlong.

Mao Wenlong looked at Hong Ziyan who was about to cry again, and his heart was suddenly moved with compassion, but the matter of conquest at sea is related to the future of the entire Ming Dynasty. Giving up the world's great responsibilities for the sake of children's personal feelings is obviously not what Mao Wenlong thinks.

After hesitating for a moment, Mao Wenlong pretended to be relaxed and said: "Around the overseas of the Ming Dynasty, there are still many small countries that need to be conquered. Only by conquering these small countries around the sea outside the Ming Dynasty can we further stabilize the peace that our Ming Dynasty has won so hard. ”

Mao Wenlong didn't want to explain, since ancient times, women have not been in charge of government affairs, let alone the affairs of conquering the world. There was no need for Mao Wenlong to give Hong Ziyan any explanation, but looking at her crying appearance, Mao Wenlong still couldn't hold back and opened his mouth to explain.

Hong Ziyan obviously knew that she had asked something she shouldn't have asked, so she immediately changed the topic and said, "Xianggong, how long will it be before you leave the Wa Kingdom?" ”

After pondering for a moment, Mao Wenlong shook his head and said, "It's still unknown, it depends on whether Mr. performs well here." If it goes well, the prime minister can go out early. ”

Hong Ziyan fell silent after hearing this, Mao Wenlong thought about it, went over to help Hong Ziyan and said: "The lady is tired from the journey, so I don't want to go to rest first, and we will talk about it in the evening." ”

Mao Wenlong's warmth gave Hong Ziyan's long-empty heart a lot of warmth, and she nodded obediently and agreed.

"Huge!" Mao Wenlong turned around and shouted outside the door.

The huge figure immediately appeared, and then bowed his hand: "The subordinates are here!" ”

"Send Madame to rest." Mao Wenlong said.

"Yes, Commander!" After Haoda responded, he led the way for Hong Ziyan.

After the mother and daughter left for a while, Hong Chengchou walked in again, and said with a smile: "It's rare for the general soldier's family to reunite, why don't you stay for a while." ”

Mao Wenlong glanced at Hong Chengchou and said with a wry smile; "Madame is emotionally agitated, and it is not appropriate to talk at this time."

Hong Chengchou nodded understandingly, and then said: "The old minister is already a little stuck, this banquet will be stopped, and from tomorrow, the old minister will begin to explore the situation of the Japanese kingdom and then make a definition." ”

Mao Wenlong didn't stay, it was already midnight at this moment, and the commotion outside had already stopped. Mao Wenlong personally sent Hong Chengchou to the door, and after seeing him leave, he turned back to the hall and sat quietly for a while, but found that his heart began to be irritable. simply got up and left the hall and went to the courtyard where Hong Ziyan lived.
