Chapter 268: The tragedy and comedy of homecoming

After Li Meng returned to Jiaozhou, he received far more popularity than other places. Li Meng was promoted to the general of Shandong. Every Jiaozhou person felt glory, and everyone who relied on Jiaozhou camp felt happy. This was a total of prosperity and loss.

Wu Wensong, the governor of Jiaozhou, and Zhou Yang, the governor of Jiaozhou, had to kneel down when he saw Li Meng according to the etiquette of the officialdom. Of course, Li Meng and them did not need this attention.

The envoy sent by the eunuch Liu Fulai, the eunuch in Nanjing, to congratulate him, had arrived in Jiaozhou for a while earlier than Jiaozhou Camp. This time the person sent was the butler Liu Qian, who was also the confidant of the old eunuch. After meeting Li Meng, both sides were polite and intimate. In addition to the letter, Liu Fulai also asked Liu Qian to bring a message, which was basically congratulations. The old eunuch was quite surprised that this "nephew" became the general general guarding a province so quickly, but this surprise was second. Liu Fulai urged Li Meng to have a child in the letter.

The letter was completely educated and warned in the tone of an elder. Liu Fu said that he also had a considerable fortune. Li Meng had a huge foundation, but Li Meng still has no descendants, and there was not even a person who inherited the family. There was a little worry in such a prosperous situation.

The letter also advised Li Meng that he is now a first-class military general in the court, and his status is sufficient. It is one thing for husband and wife to be in love, but it is also a matter of decent official style. Liu Fulai also mentioned that when he left Nanjing that day, there were two stunning women returning with him. Why did he still hear that Li Meng only had one wife and did not take a concubine?

Seeing this, Li Meng was still a little embarrassed. He was said to be a eunuch and should not care about such things. How could he say so in the letter in such detail?

In fact, what Liu Fulai, the eunuch in Nanjing, said was not the private room, but the so-called ethics of men and women, and the great rituals passed down by descendants. And what he said was indeed reality. If Li Meng is currently in the independent kingdom of Shandong and has no heirs, the people in the Jiaozhou camp system were worried that if Li Meng had any accidents, all this would disappear immediately.

However, Li Meng is a modern person with great pressure and does not consider much about this aspect. Most of the people below are young people who have not started a family, and they rarely think about it. Most of the people who can think of this are civil servants. On the one hand, the relatively low status is because they have too few opportunities to contact.

This time, the eunuch Liu Fulai, the governor, didn't say this, Zhou Yang and Ning Qiangui below also took the initiative to make this suggestion. After seeing this letter, Li Meng began to feel embarrassed, and then he felt a little funny. However, if he thought about it carefully, he really agreed. He would do whatever era he had. It seemed that he should also have a child.

In fact, Li Meng didn't know that the Yan prefecture couple in Dongchang Prefecture also sent a private message to their daughter. The letter first explained that they were safe and sound, and secondly, they criticized them tactfully, saying that they had been married for so long, and why there were no children. As a housewife, this was Yan Ruoran's fault.

Li Meng is now considered a glorious and wealthy person. The General of Zhengyin in a province is already a large number of generals. Even if someone doesn't like it very much, it will be a foregone conclusion that Yan Ruoran, who is the wife of the general, will be awarded the imperial edict from the court in the future. He advised his daughter to be generous and not to interfere with Li Meng's closeness with the other women, and to take the initiative to buy a concubine and maid for Li Meng.

Prefect Yan began to hate Li Meng, a warrior, but later his daughter was married by Li Meng with both soft and hard work. However, with the help of this son-in-law, he was promoted without any background and became the prefect from the prefect. Even the prefect, the prefect had to treat him politely, and his mentality had changed a little.

When the Tartar army broke into Shandong from Linqingzhou, the nearest distance was only more than a hundred miles from Liaocheng. You could even see the dust raised by the large group of people at the top of the city. At that time, Prefect Yan felt that his deadline was approaching and he might have to die with the city.

Fortunately, what happened next finally made people feel relieved, but these reminded the prefect Yan of what Li Meng said in front of him that day:

"In this chaotic world, if there were no swords and guns of warriors, there would be no peace and tranquility..."

At this point, my impression of my son-in-law has completely changed, and I also figured it out that I only have this daughter, Li Meng is an orphan again. Who will support the couple in the future? It is not up to Li Meng and Yan Ruoran to respect and support the elderly. No matter how disgusted it, they are all a family. From then on, the prefect Yan began to worry about Li Meng.

Among the people close to Jiaozhou Camp, Wu Wensong, the governor of Jiaozhou, was not so happy. He was not angry because of Li Meng, but regretted and blamed himself.

Wu Wensong came to Jiaozhou as a Tongzhi, and went to Jiaozhou as a magistrate. Most of the time, it was because Liu Fulai was the eunuch of the Sili Supervisor in the capital, and was the care and face of the eunuch of the Nanjing garrison in Nanjing. At first, Wu Wensong felt that he and Li Meng should have had a peer-to-peer relationship, so there was no need to be too close to him.

Like Zhou Yang, a juren, who started to talk about friendship among peers, and finally completely regarded himself as a subordinate, Jiaozhou magistrate Wu Wensong even looked down upon him. Because of this mentality, Wu Wensong has always been in a state of being close to Jiaozhou Camp. However, today, he suddenly found that Li Meng had achieved such wealth and prosperity at once, and everyone around him has developed. It is rumored that Yan Gongfu of Dongchang Prefecture might be promoted to Shandong Provincial Governor's Left Political Consultative Office, and Zhou Yang, the Jiaozhou magistrate, may become the Laizhou magistrate.

Such an official promotion is superb for Yan and Zhou, and it is extremely rare, but Wu Wensong can only stand still, and everything comes first and then arrives. Wu Wensong knew in his heart that even if he defected to him, his status would be inferior to those before.

For any such thing, there are always some joys and some sorrows. This is inevitable. It is just that people will be jealous and have some problems with their mentality.

After dealing with the reciprocity exchanges everywhere, Li Meng returned to the Lijia Manor in Fengmeng Town. Although it was also used as a military base, Li Meng still felt like he was going home when he returned here, and he felt relaxed all over his body.

There was a bit of tragedy and comedy in this house. When Yan Ruoran, Mu Yunyao, Gu Hengbo and Liu Rushi came to greet him, Yan Ruoran and Mu Yunyao started to laugh, but started to cry while laughing. There were no outsiders in the inner hall in this home, and even the servants were dismissed, so the women let go.

Li Meng was quite helpless and thought that it was a happy event to go home, so why did he suddenly cry? Although he was on the battlefield outside, even if he was fighting for life and death, Li Meng could calmly deal with it, but at this time he had no choice.

Crying is nothing. After crying for a while, Yan Ruoran actually hugged Li Meng tightly. Mu Yunyao also pulled one of her arms and cried even harder, looking like she was afraid that Li Meng would leave.

After finally comforting her, Li Meng realized what was the reason. The matter was a bit interesting. After the Jinan Military Affairs Office, in order to keep the secret, although he used the documents of his confidants to record it, he still used different people to record the separate scenes and tried to disrupt them. Some summary things were completed by Li Meng's account room, and there were many fallacies in his words.

These scattered and messy words must be sorted out by someone. Such a core confidential booklet can be sorted out with confidence, and you must have the corresponding ability. You must also sort them out as soon as possible and issue them to various military generals.

After thinking about it, only the women who meet the requirements of this standard are the highest-level women in Jiaozhouying, who are the most secretive, Li Meng's inner house.

Because things are important and urgent, Yan Ruoran, who has always been in charge of housework and no matter what the documents are, also participated. This "Jinan Military Affairs Minutes" records in detail various discussions, major policies and tactics in the military affairs, and even things that need to be paid attention to when fighting on the battlefield.

The most direct example of things to pay attention to when fighting on the battlefield is the battle that Li Meng experienced personally, how infantry fights cold weapons with cavalry.

When Li Meng saw such vivid written records, he was immediately frightened. Although these women of Li Meng were in the inner house, they were very knowledgeable. You should know that Lingshan Trading Company and Huang Ping's spies also had to inform them of the situation, but the life and death of the people outside, no matter how bloody the incident was, they were just written records. They felt that they had nothing to do with themselves and were very far away.

But this time, I found that the person closest to me was in such a bloody killing every day, and there was danger at any time. It turned out that Yan Ruoran and Mu Yunyao were just saddened by the sorrow brought by their longing and longing, but now it has become Li Meng's safety fear.

When Li Meng came back, the women's nervousness and fear for several months suddenly relaxed, and it was inevitable that such a loss of composure would occur.

However, Gu Hengbo and Liu Rushi were quite embarrassed by the side. Their relationship with Li Meng is not as deep as Yan Ruoran and Mu Yunyao. Gu Liu and his two daughters are also proud. Although they know that they will rely on Li Meng in their future life, they cannot pretend to be affectionate. In fact, Li Meng has a lot of appreciation for their performance, which is naturally better than being pretentious.

At the immediately-received family dinner, Mu Yunyao was surprised to find that Li Meng was much closer to her, and this kind of closeness and difference between daily life, Gu Liu and his two daughters also felt that Li Meng was a little relaxed.
