Chapter 1297 Qingzhou(1/2)
In April, Shao Xun's elders basically came back, and they often stayed at home in May.
There is no way, it is necessary to keep mourning for your grandmother.
Shao Xun gathered them all in the Xianju Hall, where they could not only accompany their grandfather, but also worry-free. To be honest, Shao Xun was really afraid that they would let their wives and concubines conceive during the mourning period, which would make everyone unable to come to Taiwan.
In addition, gathering them all in the palace makes it easier for him to summon him to ask questions at any time.
On May 25, he went to visit his father first, then drove out of the palace and came to the Julu County Prince's Mansion on Quanshanfang.
Sister-in-law Zhang was playing with her grandson in the yard. When she heard the emperor coming, she immediately handed her three-year-old great-grandson Shao You to her grandson Yang, then wiped her hands on her silk skirt, and looked at the door with a little restrained look.
"Sister-in-law." Shao Xun bowed first as soon as he entered the door.
"Little——Your Majesty." Zhang hurriedly replied.
"My sister-in-law calls me whatever she likes." Shao Xun smiled and said, "When I was a child, I always called hungry, so my sister-in-law always cooked delicious food for me. There are many mosquitoes in summer, and my sister-in-law even fanned me to drive away mosquitoes. I am a little insect, my sister-in-law, the little insect you have taken care of for more than ten years."
Zhang wiped his tears, then took Shao Xun's hand and sat down. He didn't know what to say for a moment, and finally said, "Little Bug, don't be too busy, you're much older than before."
When Yang heard this, he was very nervous. How could he say this?
Shao Xun smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, time is not forgiving people. I know that I have been going to bed early and getting up early recently, and I am in good health.
If you hold on to the rush, you will be able to beat me for many years."
Zhang also smiled and said, "It's good that you know. This family can't do without you, today———"
"Nothing is wrong, just come and have a look." Shao Xun said, "Is the spring flowers here?"
"Everyone is in the back house." Zhang said, "I'll call her over now."
"No need." Shao Xun said, "Today I'm here to visit my sister-in-law."
"But what's wrong with Hu Zhi?" Zhang said, "Chunhua has long wanted to go to Qingzhou, but I stopped her. This unfilial daughter."
Shao Xun laughed in silence.
Chunhua is his niece, Shao Shen's sister, who married martial arts student Tian Maotian Baozhi many years ago.
Tian Mao served as the magistrate of Chen (county), the prefect of Xihe, the prefect of Wuwei, and is now the governor of Qingzhou.
Shao Chunhua is already married. From the ritual perspective, she should be mourning for her grandparents, but she generally doesn't do this in social reality. After all, she is married to her husband. After all, she has been living in Bianliang since she came back from Wuwei last year. Now she is in a hurry to go to Qingzhou, which is normal.
"If Chunhua wants to leave, let her go. Is there something wrong in Qingzhou?" Shao Xun asked.
Zhang stuttered and stopped talking.
Well? Shao Xun felt that there was something he didn't know about, but he didn't ask.
Sure enough, my sister-in-law couldn't stop and sighed: "Tian Bao complained that Chunhua had only given birth to three daughters for him, so she took two concubines in Qingzhou and gave birth to a son-----"
Damn! Shao Xun was speechless.
In fact, from a man's perspective, Tian Mao is not too much. He is forty-three years old this year and has only taken a concubine. It's because he has no children, so it's really OK.
"Sister-in-law, this matter———" Shao Xun opened his mouth and said a little, not knowing how to continue, but said, "Don't worry,
With me here, Tian Mao would not dare to let his niece down."
Of course, it is not his turn to stand up for this matter. Shao Shen will probably have his own opinion when he knows it. If he doesn't do it well, he has to continue to pay attention to this matter.
One is his niece and the other is a student. Tian Mao is understandable. He did not abandon his wife and daughter, and what he did is in line with the social values at this time. At worst, he was asked to adopt his son to Chunhua's name and be considered a legitimate son, and he was in a dilemma.
As for whether his concubine was hurt during this process, Shao Xun didn't care.
"Sister-in-law, I'll do this. Don't let Yunwen interfere." Shao Xun said, "Tian Baozhi is responsible for heavy responsibilities and will not be able to tell the truth for a moment."
"Ah?" Zhang was a little surprised and said, "Does Baozhi want to go into battle? Although he is a martial arts student, he hasn't led troops to fight for many years, right?"
Shao Xun laughed and said, "He is the rear of the town, and he is recruiting young men, building roads, building houses, and transferring resources. He will not personally take advantage of the law. I am only able to take advantage of the government management, but I have to fight for the war."
"It's not too much," said Zhang. "I liked Mao Yongtai back then. Ruochunhua married him and now she's enjoying her happiness at home."
"Sister-in-law, this is not a bit random." Shao Xun smiled and said, "I thought Tian Mao could speak well and was better than Mao Bang."
Mao Bang is the son of a farmer from the East China Sea, and Yumao is the son of a businessman from Chang'an. The two of them are not from the same world.
Moreover, Tian Mao looked handsome and looked graceful among the martial arts students of lower origins. He wrote very well and had a relatively high level of education. Due to family reasons, he might be precocious and more eloquent. He asked his niece to return to choose again more than 20 years ago, but she still wouldn't choose Mao Bang.
However, Mao Bang was very interested in learning sex and was ambitious. In the long race between tortoise and hare, he showed his ability and slowly climbed to the position of Minister of Personnel.
What did Chen Zhimao’s broken story twenty or thirty years ago say! Both of them are pretty good, they are both his loyal ministers.
Zhang seemed to understand this, and only sighed, stopped talking about this, and asked instead: "Hao Zhi is so busy in Qingzhou, but he has to fight?"
"Well, it's soon." Shao Xun replied vaguely.
Zhang knew that there were some things she shouldn't ask, so he said, "Little Cuckoo is going to cook some food for you."
Shao Xun was about to refuse, but heard his sister-in-law say, "It's all the food you loved when you were a child."
Shao Xun was not in a hurry to leave and said, "Okay."
"I'm old and I can't cook a few times a year." My sister-in-law was wearing brocade clothes, but she was chattering like a peasant woman.
Shao Xun felt very kind.
Not long after, the princess Du of Julu County, Princess Shao Du, and brothers Shao De and Shao Chong who received the news came one after another.
Shao Xun sat in the yard and talked with them in a mess.
While speaking, he asked Shao Du to bring paper and pen, wrote a letter with his own hands, and asked Tong Qianjin to find someone to send it to Qingzhou.
The messenger left in the afternoon and arrived in Penglai ten days later.
At this time, officials from all sizes of Qingzhou gather here,
*******
The governor Tian Mao stood on the top of a newly built tower, standing by the wind, with a wide range of demeanor.
However, after reading the letter, I suddenly felt a thunder thunder.
It is difficult to be a royal relative, and shortcuts are not that easy to take.
The emperor comforted him in the letter, which made him feel most of his heart. But he was still a little afraid of Shao Shen, the prince of Julu. He is now the general of the chariot and cavalry, and the great gubernator of the Shanyu. After having long been in trouble, he could not do anything.
Forget it, can’t you afford to be offended?
Tian Mao put away the letter and continued to look at the sea not far away.
The ringtone was crisp, and outside Zhongli Island, ships went out to sea one by one.
Shamen Town boarded Zhonglike on a large ship and raised the red flag representing the sailing. For a time, the sea was full of rushing towards the north.
"Is this ship a little taller?" Tian Mao asked lightly with his beard under his jaw.
Huang He, deputy governor of the navy, was sitting by the window and wiping his sword. He heard this and said, "The Wenma Chuantun has not sent a ship to him yet.
Now all the old ships are used, which is really not easy to use. However, today's storms are not big, so there should be no big trouble."
Tian Mao shook his head gently.
He was a standard land duck. He had boarded a ship and his face turned pale after being shaken.
At that time, Yang Bao laughed at him and said that the boat was still anchored in Pune. You are like this. If you really go to the sea, you will be vomited out if you have to go to the overnight dinner.
Tian Mao did not argue with him.
He felt that the deck that was shaking very hard was just ordinary in the eyes of the navy soldiers. They could even walk vigorously while shaking left and right.
It was also at this time that Yumao realized that the Land and the Navy were completely different.
He led troops in the Silver Spear Army for three years in his early years and was very familiar with land wars, but he came to the ship with violent bumps, and the Silver Spear Army may not be the opponent of these navy troops.
"General Huang, where is Governor Yang now?" Tian Mao asked.
"A boat came back last night and was already on Shaman Island." Huang He replied.
Tian Mao nodded slowly and looked to the north.
And while they were talking, on the sea near Shaman Island, there were boats running all over the sky, and they looked like they were heading north in a big way.
The order was issued by Yang Bao, but the reason was that this broken island had almost no stable source of fresh water, and it was entirely due to the collection and storage of rainwater in the previous pools.
But what the hell is the water in the pond? A bunch of suspicious floating objects, dark in color, makes people shudder.
Even if it boils, it smells strange.
Fortunately, I also carried a lot of fresh water on the boat, but it was impossible for thousands of people to drink it for a long time. There was no way to go north to calculate the ball directly.
After the fleet left Shamen Island, it was blowing up and down under the southeast wind, shaking waves and sailing straight to the unknown shore. The weather is actually good today, and the wind and waves are not big.
Yang Bao stood on the front deck of the ship and quietly looked at the dark sea.
Fish appeared around the ship, but it was fleeting.
The two birds seemed tired of flying, and they actually rested on the top of the mast and fell a pool of bird shit.
Some sailors held the harpoon with rope tied at the end and stared at the sea. They had only forked fish on the river before, but they didn't know if the fish in the sea could be forked.
An old sailor who sailed across the sea said that big fish in the sea eat small fish. If you use tin to make a small fish, then install a large fish hook, and hang it with a rope and float up and down in the sea water, maybe a big fish will bite the hook, and you can use a harpoon fork at this time.
Yang Bao didn't understand Wu's words very well, but after contacting him for a long time, he vaguely knew what they were talking about, and he couldn't help but laugh.
