Zhou Shixiang's back house is now only the little mute brought from Kunming to bring the personal maid Cui'er, the female officials sent by the palace when they got married, because there was no way to return them back to the palace, so Zhou Shixiang handed them over to Xiang Rong to help take care of the internal affairs of the Qi Palace. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This is also an expedient measure, Zhou Shixiang doesn't want to bind these female officials to the Qi Mansion for the rest of his life, so he is ready to marry these female officials to the generals in the army, which can be regarded as a good destination.

Since the establishment of the Taiping Army for six years, many generals in the army are still singles, and now that Zhou Shixiang himself is married, he can't help but think about his subordinates' lifelong life. Earlier, he had already set Qian Qianyi and Liu Xiaozhao, the daughter of Liu Ruyi, as his wife for Yu Shizhong's son Yu Youming, and now he naturally can't favor one over the other, and he also has to ask for wives for others. The Metropolitan Governor's Office is formulating relevant policies to strive to marry daughters-in-law to more than 1,000 households within this year.

Although these female officials are from poor backgrounds and are not beautiful women, they are all good-looking, and they are rarely literate, so in Zhou Shixiang's opinion, they are all good candidates for wives.

However, whether the subordinates are willing to marry these female officials depends on their own intentions, and Zhou Shixiang does not want to force the female officials, so he repeatedly told Xiang Rong that he must explain the man's situation to the female officials in advance, and then arrange a "blind date" after they agree.

After returning to the back house, Zhou Shixiang saw the little mute sitting sullenly in the house. Tsui Er saw him busy saluting and brought him a basin of water for him to wash.

"What's the matter, is there anyone in my Qi Palace's palace who dares to offend the princess?" Zhou Shixiang said to the little mute with a smile while washing his face.

"I'm going to see Yongxing."

The little mute raised his head and looked at his husband a little nervously.

"Oh."

Zhou Shixiang nodded, put the towel on the shelf, and said, "He just moved out of the palace, and you, as a sister, should go and see him." ”

The little mute let out a "hmm", hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Yongxing wants to come over to meet you." ”

"He can come if he wants, he is my brother-in-law, is it possible that my brother-in-law will not entertain him?"

Zhou Shixiang smiled and walked to the little mute and sat down, if his wife was sullen because she didn't want to entertain Zhu Linwei, it would really be wronged him.

"No," the little mute didn't know what to say, and said half-loudly, "Yongxing seems to be dissatisfied with the way it is now." ”

"What's not to like? He is the king of Yongxing County, what else is not satisfied? ”

Zhou Shixiang frowned slightly, he knew Zhu Linwei's personality and some small hands and feet, but it had nothing to do with the overall situation, so he didn't care. But if this Zhu Linwei still can't see the general trend clearly, and still thinks about the position of the East Palace, and even influences himself through the little mute, then he has to be beaten and beaten.

"It's nothing."

The little mute wanted to say something, but seeing that his husband seemed a little unhappy, he didn't open his mouth after thinking about it. The reason why she wants to help Yongxing is because of family affection.

Tang Fan now only has two descendants, Little Dumb and Yongxing, and the two are close in age, and their early experiences are also very similar, they are both living in the people, so although they didn't even know the existence of each other before, Little Mute still likes this younger brother very much, and he will definitely help her if he can help her. It's just that Yongxing is dissatisfied with something, although the little mute doesn't ask about outside things, he knows more or less in his heart. After all, the big event of her uncle appointing King Yong as the crown prince has been noisy recently, and it is impossible for her to think about it.

However, the little mute didn't want to help Yongxing plot for the position of prince, she didn't dare or want to do this, she just wanted her brother to be in a better mood. So when Yongxing begged her to see her brother-in-law King Qi, she agreed without much thought. But now it seems that her husband is not satisfied with Yongxing's performance, which makes her very embarrassed.

Seeing that the little mute hung his head down and didn't dare to speak, Zhou Shixiang's heart softened, although he didn't want the outside things to affect him and the little mute, but some things were indeed involuntarily.

The identity of her wife, the princess, is destined to make it impossible for her to stay out of the matter, and the purpose of those people is obviously impossible for Zhou Shixiang to agree. Come to think of it, in the future, the little mute will be caught in the middle, and there will definitely be more difficulties. Zhou Shixiang didn't want her to be like this, but there was no way to stop these things from happening, so he could only try his best not to make the little mute too sad.

Thinking of this, Zhou Shixiang wanted to tell the little mute that he was going to let Zhu Linwei go to Annan for a few years, he was also young as the king of the county, and it was not a matter of being idle in Beijing all day, so it was better to go to Annan to exercise, whether it was to make contributions in the future, or to achieve nothing, it was always an experience, not like those vassal kings in the past, like pigs in captivity, except for having children, there was nothing to do. But if the little mute doesn't agree to be a sister, then the matter will be stopped.

Although there are many clans in Nandu now, the overall number is much less than before Jiashen. Among these people, there are those who are willing to support themselves and go on their own, and Zhou Shixiang supports them. If they refuse to break in, Zhou Shixiang can also support them, but he can only ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing, and don't think about the rest.

Just as she was about to speak, the little mute asked Cui'er to go to the kitchen to get some food. After Cui'er went down, the little mute suddenly put his hand on his stomach and whispered to Zhou Shixiang: "I haven't been here for a few days this month, I'm afraid it will be." ”

"Got it?"

Zhou Shixiang was stunned, and then he was happy, he was only two months married, and he had a little mute?!

"Have you asked the Imperial Doctor to come and see it?"

Zhou Shixiang was really happy, he thought that something might be wrong with his body, otherwise why didn't Shi Yuanling and Lin Wan'er move in their stomachs, but now that the little mute has it in his stomach, how not to make him ecstatic. He has always remembered Song Xianggong's "bitter heart", and there must be someone to succeed him.

"No, I don't."

The little mute's face turned even redder, because she didn't know if it was there. Zhou Shixiang hurriedly said that tomorrow he would let the imperial doctor in the palace come over to check the pulse to see if he was really pregnant.

Although the little mute has taken a human ethics class in the palace, he also knows a little about a woman's pregnancy, and Cui'er, who still asked, felt that it might be there, so he only nodded there and let Zhou Shixiang arrange it. She also wanted to know if she was pregnant with a child.

Zhou Shixiang rubbed his hands, and the more he thought about it, the happier he became. In the past few years since the death of his wife and children, his heart has been empty. He understands the truth that people can't be resurrected after death, but when he thinks of the tragic death of his wife and children, his heart can't calm down, especially Bao'er's death, which makes his heart like a sharp point, and it hurts forever.

Now that he has a new wife and is about to have new flesh and blood, at this moment, Zhou Shixiang is really full of mixed feelings. There is also a faint sense of guilt in the joy, and I always feel that I can't stand the dead wife and children.

The little mute noticed Zhou Shixiang's mood fluctuations, and she gently held Zhou Shixiang's hand: "Sister Zhao is in the spirit of heaven and will bless us." ”

Zhou Shixiang nodded and did not speak.

Cui'er came from the kitchen with two maids and put the food on the table. Seeing that King Qi was happy, Cui'er was also happy, knowing that the princess must have said something happy.

"I don't know if it's a man or a woman, whether it looks like His Royal Highness or like King Qi." Cui'er said with a smile.

"I don't know if I have it, I won't know until I check the pulse tomorrow."

The little mute was a little apprehensive in his heart, afraid that he would find out that he was not pregnant tomorrow. Zhou Shixiang relieved her not to be nervous, it's good to have it, it doesn't matter if you don't, it's a big deal that the husband and wife will work hard in the future. The little mute rolled her eyes, and Cui'er covered her mouth and laid out the dishes and chopsticks one by one.

During the meal, Zhou Shixiang suddenly said to the little mute: "I have to go out in two days." ”

"Where are you going?"

The little mute put down his chopsticks and looked at Zhou Shixiang, a little nervous. In the two months since she got married, although she knew that her husband could not be with her forever, she was still very reluctant when the day really came.

"North, far away." Zhou Shixiang didn't say much about where he was going.

The little mute was stunned and asked him, "When will you come back?" ”

"Half a year at least, a year at most."

After Zhou Shixiang finished speaking, he buried his head and continued to eat. There was one thing he didn't say, and that was that maybe he might never come back.
