"You said the Red Sleeves Movement caught fire again?"
"Your Majesty, that's right! It happened on the night of the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month."
Official Fu nodded thoughtfully, "Go ahead. Keep an eye on Ji Yungui's case... and go get Zhuo Bieli and Bei Wangchuan."
"My lord, I obey the order!"
Zhou Tongtong turned and left the imperial study. Zhuo Yihang looked at Official Fu meaningfully and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, are you still confused?"
Official Fu frowned and thought for a long time, "I hope I'm overthinking..."
He paused and changed the subject: "The New Year is coming soon, and now is the slack season for farming. You two must keep a close eye on the road construction and river embankment construction."
…
…
Mirror Lake Villa.
Wu Linger was teasing her son Wu Tianci.
Wu Tianci, who was about to turn one year old in ten days, was crawling on the ground and giggling.
Wu Linger's face was filled with happiness. "See you being naughty, wait for your father to come back and deal with you!"
As she said this, Wu Linger picked up her son from the ground and said, "You keep wanting to go out. It's so cold outside. Come inside."
She pushed Wu Tianci in through the door, and the little kid sat down on the ground and burst into tears.
"Ah..." Wu Ling'er bit her lip and glared, "If you cry again, I won't give you milk!"
These words seemed to have great power. When the little kid heard them, he raised his head, stopped crying immediately, and started giggling again, but there was not even a trace of tears on his face.
"As cunning as your father!"
Nishang and Luoying stood aside and watched, their hearts also happy, but they were thinking about the unfaithful man Fu Xiaoguan, and they didn't know when he would come back. It had been so long, and he didn't even write a letter to the young lady.
I heard that he has a few new loves. Has he forgotten his old ones?
Wu Linger picked up Wu Tianci and was about to feed him when she saw Zhuo Bieli walking towards her in the wind and snow.
His face was somewhat solemn. He stood at the door of the room and said to Wu Linger, "I just went to see His Majesty. I have to go now."
Wu Linger frowned slightly, "Going to Yu Dynasty?"
Zhuo Bieli shook his head and said, "I have to lead the 200,000-strong army from the Northwest Defense Zone to fight."
"Is there going to be a war?"
"Yes, a battle with the Yi Kingdom... However, this strategy was designed by His Highness. According to His Majesty, the main battle will be carried out by the Second Divine Sword Army. I will only be there to clean up the mess."
Wu Linger thought for a moment, "Where is Bei Wangchuan going?"
"He went to the Yu Dynasty."
"Is he in danger?"
"It's not dangerous, His Majesty just needs Your Highness to be a little safer..."
Wu Linger's frown deepened. "He's going to the battlefield too?"
"Your Majesty didn't say. Your Highness is on his way to Jinling now."
Wu Linger took a deep breath and murmured, "He will definitely go to the battlefield... No, I have to go too."
Zhuo Bieli was startled, "You can't go!"
"I've fully recovered. My marksmanship is decent, and my agility is quite strong. He's just a third-rate fighter. It's settled. Don't try to persuade me."
"What about the child?"
"...Leave it to my father-in-law, he will take care of the child!"
That night, Wu Linger once again carried her sword and rode fast horses with Nishang and Luoying straight to Qiyun Pass.
That night, Fu Daguan and Wu Tianci stared at each other. Wu Tianci suddenly realized that his mother was missing, and he burst into tears.
Official Fu was at a loss and sighed to the sky...
"I really don't know how to take care of children!"
…
…
Time goes back to December 28th of the tenth year of the Xuanli calendar.
That night, the Ding'an Earl's Mansion was extremely lively.
The end of the year is approaching, and the return of the head of the family who has been away for half a year is certainly something worth celebrating.
Fu Xiaoguan looked at his three children happily, picked up Fu Duoduo, reached out and gently touched Fu Duoduo's tender face, then looked at Fu Yian and Fu Ziliang——
This is the proof of my existence in this world!
Having a wife, children, and a home means that you have taken root and sprouted in this world.
In the days to come, I must protect this family from wind and rain, so that they can live in peace and grow happily.
Dong Shulan and the others were naturally delighted, but only Dong Shulan felt a little uneasy - the eldest princess came in a hurry, chatted with her husband for half an hour, and left in a hurry, without even saying a word to them!
This is an abnormal signal.
But now she didn't ask anything. The whole family sat happily at the table, asking each other about their well-being and having a reunion dinner.
After dinner, Fu Xiaoguan continued to play with the children in turn. The feeling of blood connection made him a little excited.
After all, he didn’t even have a girlfriend in his previous life, but now he has living children. This means he is a father. Does this mean that he can no longer do whatever he wants?
So my youth is gone forever?
But I'm not even nineteen yet!
In my previous life, when I was still in high school, I had to be secretive if I wanted to have a relationship.
It was not until this moment that Fu Xiaoguan deeply realized that he had completely integrated into this era.
He hadn't thought about his past life for a long time, and he had also been immersed in the affairs of this world for a long time, exhausting all his energy planning for the future.
It was late at night, and Fu Xiaoguan went to take a bath. He asked about his third senior sister Su Rou and learned that Su Rou had given birth to a daughter, and then moved out and lived in the backyard of Liushenmen with his eldest senior brother Su Jue.
There were a whole room of people sitting in Lichenxuan, all of them were Fu Xiaoguan’s women.
Dong Shulan made a pot of tea for Fu Xiaoguan and talked about the things in the mansion:
The slums in Jinling City have now been demolished and construction will begin in the spring.
The four Li brothers did not return this year, but they all sent letters and account books. Xishan's business now covers almost the entire Yu Dynasty. Due to the heavy initial investment, the profit this year is not great.
"I've already told them not to invest any more and just focus on the business they've set up. Also... I'm considering having all four of them go to Wu Dynasty next year. Do you think that's a possibility?"
"The total profit of the entire Xishan Group this year, excluding stock dividends, has left over eight million taels of silver. We hold two million shares of Xishan, and the current share price is around twenty-four taels of silver. I plan to gradually sell them off next year... but there's a huge problem here."
Dong Shulan glanced at Fu Xiaoguan and continued, "If someone falsified the financials, concealed the audit from Sitong Bank, and ran away with the money after the listing..."
Fu Xiaoguan grinned. He had done this on purpose, and he had no intention of fixing this huge bug yet.
This is a means for him to deal with the Yu Dynasty and the Yi State, but the Yi State will definitely be exposed first. As for the Yu Dynasty... we will have to wait and see.
