Zhou Shixiang’s back house is now only the maid Cui’er brought by the little mute from Kunming. The female officials sent by the palace when they got married were unable to return them to the palace, so Zhou Shixiang handed them over to Xiang Rong. , to help take care of the internal affairs of Prince Qi’s mansion.

This is also an expedient measure. Zhou Shixiang didn’t want to tie these female officials to the Qi Palace for the rest of their lives, so he planned to marry these female officials to the generals in the army, which was also a good home.

Since the establishment of the Taiping Army six years ago, many generals in the army are still single, and now that Zhou Shixiang himself is married, he has to consider the life of his subordinates. Earlier, he had already made Qian Qianyi and Liu Rushi’s daughter Liu Xiaozhao his wives for Yu Youming, the son of Yu Shizhong. The Grand Governor’s Office is formulating relevant policies, striving to marry Zuodu for more than a thousand households within this year.

Although these female officials were from poor backgrounds and were not very beautiful, they were all good-looking and literate, so in Zhou Shixiang’s view, they were all good candidates for wives.

However, whether his subordinates are willing to marry these female officials depends on their own intentions, and Zhou Shixiang did not want to force the female officials, so he repeatedly told Xiang Rong that he must explain the situation of the man to the female officials in advance, and they agreed. Then arrange a “blind date”.

After returning to the back house, Zhou Shixiang saw the little mute sitting sullenly in the house. Tweety saw that he was busy saluting, and brought him a water basin for washing.

“What’s the matter, is there anyone in my Prince Qi’s mansion who dares to offend the princess?” Zhou Shixiang said to the little mute with a smile while washing his face.

“I went to see Yongxing.”

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

“Oh.”

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

The little mute gave an “um”, hesitated for a moment, and then said, “Yongxing wants to come and see you.”

“He can come as soon as he wants. He is my brother-in-law. Could it be that my brother-in-law still doesn’t entertain him?”

Zhou Shixiang smiled and walked up to the little mute to sit down. If his wife was sullen because she didn’t want to entertain Zhu Linwei, she would have wronged him.

“No,” Little Mute didn’t know what to say, and said after a while, “Yongxing seems to be dissatisfied with the way he is now.”

“What’s there to be dissatisfied with? He’s the King of Yongxing County, what else is there to be dissatisfied with?”

Zhou Shixiang frowned slightly. He knew Zhu Linwei’s personality and some small hands and feet very well, 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, still thinks about the seat of the East Palace, and even influences himself through the little mute, then he must be beaten and beaten.

“It’s nothing.”

The little mute wanted to say something, but seeing his husband seemed a little unhappy, after thinking about it, he finally didn’t speak. The reason why she wanted to help Yongxing was because of family affection.

Tang Fan now only has two descendants, Xiao Dumb and Yongxing, and they are of similar age and their early experiences are very similar. They are both living in the folk, so although they didn’t even know each other’s existence in the past, Little Dumb still likes this younger brother very much. , I can definitely help her. It’s just that Yongxing is dissatisfied because of what, although the little mute doesn’t ask about the outside world, but he is more or less clear in his heart. After all, the big event that my uncle made Prince Yong the crown prince has been very noisy recently, and it’s impossible for her to know.

However, Little Dumb didn’t want to help Yongxing to get the crown of the prince. She didn’t dare or would like to do this. She just wanted to make her younger brother feel better. So when Yongxing asked her to see her brother-in-law, King Qi, she agreed without thinking much. But now it seems that her husband is not satisfied with Yongxing’s performance, which makes her very embarrassed.

Seeing Xiao Mute hanging his head down and not daring to speak, Zhou Shixiang softened his heart. Although he didn’t want external things to affect him and Xiao Mute, there were some things he couldn’t help himself.

The identity of his wife, the princess, is destined to be impossible for her to stay out of the situation, and the purpose of those people is obviously impossible for Zhou Shixiang to agree to. Come to think of it, in the future, the little mute will be caught in the middle, and there will be more embarrassment. Zhou Shixiang didn’t want her to do 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 is also a young prince. It is not a problem to be idle in Beijing all day. It is better to go to Annan to exercise. Well, it’s okay to achieve nothing, it’s always an experience, and it’s not like those vassal kings in the past, who were kept in captivity like pigs, and there was nothing to do except give birth to children. However, if the little mute, the elder sister, disagrees, then this matter will be abandoned.

Although there are many clans in Nandu now, the overall number is much less than before Jiashen. Some of these people are willing to support themselves and make their own way, and Zhou Shixiang supports them. Zhou Shixiang can also support those who are unwilling to go in, but they can only keep their food and clothing safe, and don’t think about the rest.

Just as he was about to speak, Little Dumb asked Cui Er to go to the kitchen to get some food. After Cui Er went down, Xiao Duan suddenly put his hand on his stomach and whispered to Zhou Shixiang: “My menstrual period has not come for several days this month, I’m afraid I have.”

“Have?”

Zhou Shixiang was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed. It’s only been two months since they got married, and the little mute is there? !

“Have the imperial doctor come over to have a look?”

Zhou Shixiang was really happy. He thought that there might be something wrong with his body. Otherwise, why did Shi Yuanling and Lin Wan’er have no movement in their stomachs, but now the little mute has them, how can they not make him ecstatic. He has always remembered Song Xianggong’s “hard-heartedness”, and there must be someone who will succeed him.

“no.”

The little mute blushed even more, because she didn’t know if she had it. Zhou Shixiang hurriedly explained that tomorrow the imperial physician in the palace would come over to take a pulse to see if he was really pregnant.

Although the little mute had taken a human relations class in the palace, he still knew little about women’s pregnancy, and it was Cui’er who asked about it. She also wondered if she was pregnant with a child.

Zhou Shixiang rubbed his hands together, the more he thought about it, the happier he became. In the past few years after his wife and children died, his heart has always been empty. He understands the principle that people cannot be resurrected, but when he thinks of the tragic death of his wife and children, his heart cannot be calmed down, especially Baoer’s death. com made him feel like a thorn in his heart, and it would always hurt a lot.

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

The little mute noticed Zhou Shixiang’s emotional 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 said nothing.

Cui Er came from the kitchen with two maids and put the food on the table. Seeing King Qi’s happy face, Cui’er was also happy, knowing that the princess must have something happy to say.

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

“I don’t know if I have it. I won’t know until I get my pulse tomorrow.”

The little mute was a little uneasy in his heart, afraid that he would have a pulse tomorrow but found out that he was not pregnant. Zhou Shixiang reassured her not to be nervous. It’s good to have it, but it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t. The big deal is that the husband and wife will work hard in the future. The little mute rolled her eyes with anger, and Cui Er covered her mouth and set the tableware and chopsticks one by one.

During the meal, Zhou Shixiang suddenly said to the little mute, “I’m going out in two days.”

“Where are you going?”

The little mute put down his chopsticks and looked at Zhou Shixiang, a little nervous. After two months of marriage, 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 startled and asked him, “When will you be back?”

“As little as half a year, as much as a year.”

After Zhou Shixiang finished speaking, he continued to eat. One thing he didn’t say was that maybe he might never come back.
