"Huh? When did Zhou Lang come back? Early in the morning, Li Qingzhao saw Zhou Shaoyu exercising in the yard and suddenly said strangely.

"Since it was last night, it was late, and I didn't know where it was inconvenient, so I fell asleep." Zhou Shaoyu pretended to be calm.

"I slept with Mei Niang last night." Li Qingzhao did not doubt that he had him, and said with a smile.

"Then why do you get up so early and don't rest much?" Zhou Shaoyu took Li Qingzhao's hand and sat down, seeing this, the spring cicada was very discerning and stayed away.

"Overall, the teacher and Sai'er are taking care of it, I'm just helping, and I won't be tired." Li Qingzhao couldn't get up, because he was directly pulled on his lap and sat down, and suddenly blushed and panicked: "Zhou Lang, it's inappropriate to be seen." ”

It was seen that it was inappropriate, not that he was unhappy to be like this, Zhou Shaoyu was very happy, pinched his face, and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since I saw your blushing appearance, how naughty my young daughter was." ”

"You still have the face to say?" Li Qingzhao unprecedentedly began to pinch Zhou Shaoyu's ears. "I actually used my own words to deceive my heart, and I really thought I had a heart and a soul."

"The so-called attacking heart is the best, eh, eh." Zhou Shaoyu grinned, of course it didn't hurt, did he have to pretend to be a little bit. "You see, if Lord Taishan doesn't like me, how can he agree to let me marry you? It's not exactly that fooling you, is it? ”

"If you get married, you are a pig and a dog, what can you do." Li Qingzhao snorted.

This is what makes people speechless, it's called a pig and a dog, it's really true.

"Come on, Pig Lady, let's try to give birth to a bunch of pig babies." Zhou Shaoyu snorted.

Li Qingzhao beat his chest with his little hand, and then suddenly his face turned gloomy, and said, "Zhou Lang, why hasn't my stomach moved for so long." ”

"Uh......" Zhou Shaoyu sweated profusely, in fact, he also thought about this problem, and others didn't care, after all, the time between him and Li Qingzhao was not short, even if Li Qingzhao stayed in the Great Song Dynasty, Zhou Shaoyu would take a look from time to time, but there was no reaction until now.

Not only Li Qingzhao, but everyone is like this, Zhou Shaoyu himself is weak-hearted.

"Don't worry, this kind of thing can't be rushed, if you want to have children, how can you do it if you don't work hard, otherwise......" Zhou Shaoyu directly deviated.

"If you don't die, don't move, just stay like this." Li Qingzhao flicked Zhou Shaoyu's head with his fingers, and then rested his head on Zhou Shaoyu's shoulder.

Warm for a while.

Because the drought has become more pronounced, even if the weather recovers in the future, a reduction in grain production is a foregone conclusion, and it is more likely that there will be no harvest.

It's not that Zhou Shaoyu is ruthless, this is a celestial phenomenon, which cannot be violated, not to mention the ancient conditions, there is almost no way to deal with it, so the turmoil is certain, and under such conditions, it is beneficial to Zhou Shaoyu's development.

External production stopped, people were displaced, and Zhou Shaoyu could follow a series of high-yield crops to secretly develop in Chenghuizhou, and then take the opportunity to win over the population, no matter how you look at it, it is advantageous.

Of course, there must be no way to compare with Gao Yuyao, who got rid of the burden, and sealed so many princes to go out, it was originally to get rid of the pot, and the power of the people's livelihood was handed over, how could it be funded, and keep a piece of Jiangnan, unless there is a big drought for many years, otherwise there will be a harvest.

In fact, this is a bit like the feeling of the Southern Song Dynasty, the reason why the Southern Song Dynasty did not go north to regain the lost territory is very simple, the north is broken, it is a complete mess, and it is a loss-making transaction if it is collected, and it cannot collect taxes, and when the time comes, in order to support the north, more money must be allocated, and more taxes need to be levied, and the people can be happy?

Not an overwhelming advantage, except for a few, almost from the top down will not be supported.

However, the difference is that Gao Yuyao still has a Qingzhou, and she obviously intends to take it back step by step in the future, but she needs to accumulate strength before that.

On the other side, Xiao Jiwen will have an impact, but it will not be as exaggerated as the Central Plains, the initial stage has already been survived, and it is no problem to grasp it steadily.

In such a situation, if the wind and rain are smooth, Zhou Shaoyu will not be able to catch up with the forces of the two sides at all, not to mention, there are Turks in the north.

"Third Uncle must be careful on this trip, the Central Plains is still chaotic, even civilians still need to be vigilant." A few days later, outside the city, Zhou Shaoyu saw off Wednesday Mountain, this time Wednesday Mountain will first return to the water village, and then assemble across the river to the north, and it is inevitable to close.

"Don't worry, what it's like to not be able to eat, the third uncle understands very well." Wednesday Hill grinned. "Where you are idle, you let your niece and daughter-in-law take care of it more."

"Naturally, it's also my own family." Zhou Shaoyu nodded, and he was still looking forward to seeing what Zhao Xianxian could develop into on his own.

More have long been explained, the war in the north must be inquired about, collect Turkic information as much as possible, the best situation is which tribe can be hooked up with, fur and animal tendons, are all things that will be needed in the future, it doesn't matter if it doesn't work, take your time.

Speaking of which, the two messengers who just sent Xiao Ji's wife here yesterday replied with a letter, and also sent ten carts of grain, so he specially asked the third uncle to pick a dozen reliable people to accompany him.

Ten carts of grain seems like a lot, but for Xiao Yao's sister-in-law, it is completely a drop in the bucket, Zhou Shaoyu also means, make a statement, get close to the relationship, the main thing is to let the dozen or so subordinates go to see the current situation in Shuzhou with their own eyes, for the sake of insurance, Zhou Shaoyu even sent Zhou Zaixing.

It's been with me for so long, although I learn words slowly, I can record them easily, and I can draw simple maps, and there is a shortage of talents underneath, Zhou Shaoyu has the heart to cultivate, so that when the time comes, he will be on his own, and the necessary independent action will be very needed.

The old house, now no one takes care of it here, but it's still clean and tidy, it seems that it's all the credit of Feng Ji, this time I came to see, there have been some changes, I really don't know how Feng Ji got it, I actually got an osmanthus tree transplanted over, this thing is troublesome, and it's not the afterlife, everything is convenient.

Looking at the loose soil of his subordinates, Zhou Shaoyu had infinite doubts, Feng Ji wouldn't bury her daughter red or something in the ground again, right?

Now that Zhou Zaixing has been sent away, Zhou Shaoyu has also moved out of Shanhuai Street for the sake of the board of directors, and there is always a need for some envoys around him, and Wu Meiniang was brought here, followed by two envoys to call the mother-in-law, plus two female guards who take care of the house, everything is simple.

Anyway, as long as Zhou Shaoyu doesn't die, there will be basically no problem with safety.

Wu Meiniang's expression was very unhappy, a little resentful, but it was not an exaggeration, Zhou Shaoyu understood very well, if it weren't for him, Wu Meiniang would have become a female emperor, and it would be strange if she had no opinion.

However, grudges are resentments, and what's the deal with the smell of jealousy?

"Talented girls, famous prostitutes, princesses, queens, and all kinds of strange women, now even the empress, are you going to be the first romantic figure in the ages?" Wu Meiniang was very jealous.

Zhou Shaoyu touched his chin, the first romantic figure in the ages? This title ......

"That's a good point, Ben Shao has a lot of rewards." Zhou Shaoyu waved his hand, and this title sounded hilarious.

Unexpectedly, Wu Meiniang pursed her lips and said: "No matter how rewarded, it's just a maid, and people are ...... lightly."

"Hey...... I was going to reward you with something rare, but that's it. Zhou Shaoyu shook his head and walked behind his back.

Wu Meiniang was in a hurry, how could she do it, although it was said that she would become the empress, but in fact, it was too far away for her, illusory and powerful, there was no real feeling, how could there be an actual reward to come, and she hurriedly chased after her.

"How can this work, how can you suddenly regret it, the so-called upward and downward effect, what should everyone do if they learn from you?" Wu Meiniang persuaded.

"The good don't learn the bad? Fail to clean up, to be punished! "Zhou Shaoyu is more reasonable, anyway, he is the biggest, who doesn't clean up honestly.

After complaining to no avail, Wu Meiniang became anxious and threatened: "If you don't agree, I, I, I will tell Sister Qingzhao that you and Sister Xiangjun and Sister Sai'er have an affair behind her back." ”

Huh? Zhou Shaoyu was happy and said with a smile: "When did I have a personal relationship with them?" ”

"Hmph, how obvious this is, I've been here for a short time, but I can also see it clearly, these two sisters are hiding from you very much, either deliberately to avoid suspicion, or you threatened them something, anyway, it's definitely not a good thing." Wu Meiniang snorted.

Zhou Shaoyu raised her eyebrows, not to mention that she really didn't pay attention, Wu Meiniang mentioned this, it seems, is she really hiding? But why? Could it be that the matter of listening to their corners has been discovered? It shouldn't.

Okay, where did Zhou Shaoyu think that he ran to talk to Bian Yujing about proposing, obviously to connect Zhou Zaixing and Qiuhong, but these two mistakenly thought it was Li Xiangjun?

And Bian Yujing heard Zhou Shaoyu and Li Xiangjun's words that day, so he misunderstood, thinking that in order to avoid embarrassment, he didn't say it at all.

As a result, Li Xiangjun was surprised, and couldn't understand why Zhou Shaoyu wanted to marry her, and he mentioned it to Bian Yujing. But Bian Yujing was entangled, she didn't think that Li Xiangjun would really be reluctant to marry, but she continued to pester her in various ways, making it clear that she wanted to eat both ends, which made Bian Yujing feel somewhat awkward.

In short, these two are hiding from Zhou Shaoyu very well, and I really don't know what attitude to use.

But Zhou Shaoyu didn't think much about it, these two are old people, and they are both quite reliable, so they are not afraid of anything happening, eighty percent of them are weak-hearted, afraid that their private relationship will be exposed?

At present, Xiao Jing, the king of Tanzhou next door, has gone to inspect the counties under the jurisdiction of Tanzhou, saying that he has observed the people's feelings, and Zhou Shaoyu estimates that Feng Ji also ran away, after all, he has not seen Feng Ji for two days.

Zhou Shaoyu didn't care too much, they were all running to Beicheng, and further instructed Zhao Xianxian to do some things about the hook column, gave a few story outlines, and asked her to send someone to find a few down-and-out scholars to ghostwrite to enrich the content.

In general, it is to give a detailed framework, and then see how far Zhao Xianxian can build with his own ability.

It was night, Wu Meiniang had already rested first, Zhou Shaoyu looked at the letters from Dawu County and Chenghuizhou, everything was going quite smoothly, but there was no news from Chen Shuozhen and Yang Miaozhen.

Needless to say, the ability of the two is only a matter of time before they complete the set goals, but there is no news, which is always uneasy.

"Young Master, Xiangjun Niangzi and Bian Niangzi are here." A female guard outside the door reported to her.

Zhou Shaoyu was stunned at first, pushed open the window and looked at the night, this hour was not early.

"Come in, did you say it was?" Zhou Shaoyu said.

The door opened wide, and the female guard said: "I heard that a certain official lady nearby invited all the women to a banquet, Xiangjun Lady and Bian Niangzi were invited to go, the scene was lively and difficult to shirk, it was only at this time that they dispersed, and when they saw that the night was late, they simply stayed here for one night." ”

"I see, you go down, rest early, you don't have to be on duty all night, there is no one on the edge of the Tanwang Mansion, and no one dares to make trouble." Zhou Shaoyu nodded and smiled.

Although it is a superior, it is not necessary to use the tone of command.

On this big night, Zhou Shaoyu didn't plan to take a look, familiar is familiar, but he is not a person in the house, which is not good.

Xu Miaojin wrote about sweet potatoes in the letter, there has been a bumper harvest now, although the yield is a little lower than Zhou Shaoyu's estimate, but it is not bad, at least no one will be hungry anymore, and now it is ready to plant the second season as soon as possible, no one will have too much food.

Cao Jie wrote about the fight against drought, and the words were full of a sense of pride, and after a large wave of publicity, the initiative was not too high, and there was a sense of unity.

Several other people each have one, and things are different, such as the military affairs written by Liang Hongyu, and Gao Xiujun, well, complained all over the article, asking him to go to Chenghui to see her more, this 'indigenous' girl is very keen on giving birth to a baby, and mainly promised that the first child would follow her surname Gao, so that the Gao family would have a continuation.

Li Xiuning's arrival is simple, don't want to see it, it's very plain, and it's like talking to her, the number of words is scarce, and the meaning of the combination is simple, and there is time to bring Li Lizhi over.

Pick up the pen and reply to the letter one by one, twisted his wrist, it was already dark, Zhou Shaoyu stretched his waist, ready to take a bath before going to sleep.

The bathhouse of this house has been rectified by Zhou Shaoyu, completely abandoned the big wooden barrel, and built a large pool, which can be heated by fire at the bottom, in fact, if it can, Zhou Shaoyu plans to build a swimming pool, but unfortunately the current environment is a bit unethical, so Zhou Shaoyu is ready to build one on the Xuanwu Mountain of the cottage at that time, where the terrain is high, and you can see the scenery if you have nothing to swim in, a few good.

As soon as I arrived at the door of the bathhouse, I saw that as soon as the door opened, Bian Yujing walked out inside, his hair was wet, and he was neatly dressed.

"Huh?" Bian Yujing was also startled, and then whispered with a complicated face. "You go in, I'll go back to the house first."

"Well, it's not early, rest early." Zhou Shaoyu smiled, and didn't think much about it, just thought that Bian Yujing had just finished washing.

Walking in, a lot of water vapor came out of the separate bathhouse, and there was a slight sound of water, Zhou Shaoyu was also lazy, too lazy to pour water again, Bian Yujing was not dirty, she washed it, and she didn't let her know.

As soon as he took off his clothes, he stepped into the inner room, there was no candlelight, only a little moonlight through the small window at the height, but he could see it clearly.

Zhou Shaoyu stood at the door stunned, only to see Li Xiangjun standing in the moonlight with his back to him, bent over, round and high.

"Hah, I found it." Li Xiangjun stood up and said happily, and found a piece of soap produced by the workshop in the cottage in the water.

Then he turned around, and the two looked at each other.

Li Xiangjun: "......"

Zhou Shaoyu: "......"
