Xiaosheng is not a nerd

Chapter 1108 Military Competition
Xie Fu and Gu Xianting hugged breakfast together, having such a wife is really a blissful thing, with no worries about food, clothing, housing and transportation.

"Xianting, when you have a child, will you spoil me so much?"

Gu Xianting said with a smile: "Say something childish, of course I will."

"Then do you spoil the child more or me more?"

"How can you ask such a question? When the time comes, you will be a father. When have you ever seen a father competing for favor with his children?"

"I just want to know, after all, the child will grow up, start a family and have his own family, but the two of us will grow old together."

"I still love you the most, okay?"

"Don't blame me for being naive. It's not uncommon for a wife to give all her love to the child after she has a child."

"That's because the wife can't feel the love of her husband, so she puts her love on her children."

"Thanks for your reminder."

Gu Xianting was amused: "My husband-in-law is serious enough, it's better to be childish."

"By the way, why is there no tiger whip?"

"Any tiger whip for breakfast, one is enough for you."

"It's okay, I'm in good health, I can bear it, you can give me a tiger whip at noon."

Gu Xianting directly refused: "No!"

At this time, Butler Kong came to the door: "My lord, you are back."

"I came back yesterday, don't you know? Butler Kong, have you had breakfast yet?"

"Returning to the son, the old slave has already eaten."

"Then eat some more, the tiger penis will just give you a boost and make you grow older and stronger."

Gu Xianting took a look at Xie Fu, and said nonsense, where did the tiger whip come from, and made fun of the old man.

"No, no, young master, you can enjoy it yourself. The old slave is in good health, so there is no need to mend it."

Steward Kong turned to the main topic while speaking: "Young master, of course this old slave knows that you came back yesterday, thinking that you just came back, and you must want to get together with Miss, Miss Ting and the others, so I didn't dare to disturb you."

"Oh, is something wrong?"

"It's like this. During the days you left, many people came to look for you. You also have a lot of letters. The old slave put them all in the study."

"Okay, I'll go to the study to have a look after dinner. By the way, has anyone come to see me?"

"Officials, big and small, have too many titles, and this old slave can't remember. The only ones I know are General Zhang and Lord Inspector Lu."

Governor Lu is naturally Lu Tao, and General Zhang should be Zhang Shiyi. He has been to Tantai Mansion several times, so Steward Kong knows him.

"There are also Gu San Master and Zhang Clan Master Zhang."

While Steward Kong was talking, his face showed a look of pride. In the past, Tantai Mansion couldn't afford the four clans in Wuzhong.

Now that the heads of the three families are visiting in person, the prestige of Tantai Mansion is so high.

It is the young master who is relying on, our young master is not a little boy who eats soft food.

Xie Fu thought to himself, as a Jiedu envoy, he can be regarded as having nothing to do, even if he has any influence, it is still behind the scenes.

It's only been a month since I left, and the three Patriarchs have visited one after another in such a short period of time, so there must be something wrong with the military competition.

Thinking about it, this was the only thing, and he said: "Okay, I'll go to the study later to have a look."

"The old slave will leave first."

"Won't Steward Kong eat something together?"

Butler Kong was overwhelmed by the flattery, the young master really doesn't treat him as an outsider, but we can't help but know ourselves: "Young master and Miss Ting must have a lot to talk about after a long absence, so the old slave will not bother you."

In the study, Xie Fu finally understood what was going on after reading several letters.

It turned out that this military competition was very large-scale under the leadership of Lu Tao and Gu Xuan.

I don't know if they are here to compete for honor or for armor rewards. Both the regular army and the miscellaneous army want to participate.

Those who knew it was a military competition, but those who didn't know that he, the governor of Huainan Road, was going to dispatch troops to rebel.

The original intention is a good thing, but if the battle is too big, things will become complicated.

An army is not a single person. How can it cope with so many troops? Even if it takes a year or so to prepare, it may not be able to be successfully carried out.

Characters like Lu Tao and Gu Xuan naturally had countermeasures, so they adopted a selection system and set various requirements, greatly reducing the number of participating troops.

These letters are all letters from prefectures and counties, some of them came through the back door to curry favor with him as Jiedu envoy, some of them explained how excellent the army in the area is, and I hope Xie Fu will pay attention to it.

How could Xie Fu understand the good and the bad, and the details?

Now he understands that some people are underappreciated for their talents. It's not that the superiors don't spare their talents, but that they can't get in touch with the superiors at all, and the superiors don't have so much energy to contact and understand them one by one.

As a superior, you can only choose relatively fair methods and strategies.

This is because please ask Master Lu and Gu Sanye, the two of them must be more experienced than this brat, it's just that Xie Fu feels contradictory in his heart.

Looking at the stacks of high letters, there is always a sense of guilt for letting down the enthusiasm of some people.

At this time, Tantai Heqing walked in with his stomach on his back, glanced at the stacks of letters, then looked at Xie Fu: "Are you bothering me?"

Xie Fu folded the letter in his hand and said with a smile, "No, is there something wrong with He Qing?"

"Can't I come and see you?"

"Yes." Xie Fu stepped forward to help her sit down.

Tantai Heqing suddenly smiled and said: "Do you still remember the first time you came to see me? It's this study room. I didn't expect that the person sitting in this seat is you."

"Thanks to Miss Tantai, I was able to climb up the ladder and stand out from the crowd, little boy."

"Nonsense, I'm not capable of helping you to the position of Jiedushi. At most, I can make you a carefree young man who can afford food and clothing. I just suddenly feel that life is so wonderful, so I commit myself to you like this, and I miss the past."

Xie Fu chuckled: "I'm not bad at entertaining people with sex."

"roll!"

Tantaihe scolded affectionately but looked at the books full of letters on the desk, and asked: "Are you worried?"

These days, letters come frequently, and Tantai He sees it in his eyes, but this is an official business, not a business matter, she, a woman, can't make her own opinions.

Now that Xie Fu came back, I came here to see if I could be of any help. After all, she has been in business for ten years, so she still has some knowledge and ability.

"No, but is your cloth shop going well?"

Tantai He said with a smile: "It's strange to say that I'm not an official, but the business is going smoothly, so I just don't care about it, and I can raise my baby with peace of mind, and there is nothing wrong with it."

Xie Fu smiled, how can he say that he is also the boss of the Jiangnan area, if he knows it or not, who would dare to dismantle him behind his back without showing face.

Take Huo Duan as an example. In the past, he was behind the scenes, but now he is giving the benefits with both hands. Naturally, the wind and the waves are smooth.

Tantaihe smiled affectionately: "I know it's because of your favor, that's fine, I'm tired, and I don't want to intrigue with them all day long, just do business with peace of mind."

He said and sighed: "It's a pity that my word of mouth for so many years is not as good as your title of Jiedushi."

"You can't say that. Relying on word of mouth, everyone will help you when you are in trouble. Relying on power to oppress people, I am afraid that once the sun goes down, others will swarm up and beat the dog in trouble."

"Let's not talk about that. Anyway, I'm idle. I'll see if I can help you. I'm really afraid that you, a beginner, won't be able to do the job if you become such a high-ranking official all at once."

"You're wrong. I'm definitely not good at being a small official. We can't do that kind of flattery and arrogance, and we can't play that kind of philistine smoothness and sophistication. But as a high-ranking official, there is some room for my talents."

Tan Taihe was puzzled: "The bigger the official, the more cautious he is. There is a saying that no one in the court should be an official. If it is not done well, there will be no benefits. You will be jailed, and even your head will not be safe. You will become someone's scapegoat."

Xie Fuha smiled: "The layout is different, and the constraints are also different."

"Climbing up from a young official, he has been immersed in the struggle for power all his life, and he has devoted all his attention to the ways of the world. The intrigue in the officialdom has no other thoughts. If it sounds good, it's a game of chess. If it sounds bad, it's just a game of chess for self-entertainment. I'm afraid even I don't know what the ultimate meaning is."

Tantaihe asked affectionately: "What about you?"

Xie Fu laughed: "It's better to plan things than people."

"So the power of the emperor is so insignificant in your eyes?"

"You, a woman, dare to talk about this."

Tantai He responded, a woman should not be too talented, but she was born in a scholarly family, and she can read the books that men read.

Xie Fu said: "There are successes and failures in the practice of the emperor's power, and it is not clear whether it will work or not."

"If it's for the people of the world, it's a pity to lose. If it's for Jiangshan's eternal life, success is just a game of chess that ravages the common people for self-pleasure."

"Born in an emperor's family, you are an emperor, but born in an ordinary family, you are a despicable villain in the market with duplicity, conspiracy and tricks behind your back."

Tantaihe said affectionately: "You are so courageous."

Xie Fu smiled: "As an emperor, what a grandeur is, but it is unexpected that all the officials bow down."

Tantai He asked affectionately: "Do you not understand?"

Xie Fu asked, "Why do you respect me?"

"You are my husband."

"Then why did I dare not make a mistake when I met Grandpa?"

"Because it's your grandfather."

Xie Fu smiled and said, "It's the same."

Tantaihe said affectionately: "You really don't need my help?"

Xie Fu smiled lightly: "You can raise your baby with peace of mind, I have good teachers and helpful friends."

"I'm leaving."

Xie Fu helped her up: "Heqing, if I have done something that is not good enough, please bear with me."

Tantai He smiled sweetly: "Before the child was born, he started to respect each other like a guest."

"I just want to tell you that in front of you and Xianting, I will always be the one who should say sorry."

Regarding her husband's words, Tantai Heqing just smiled slightly: "De Xing, let's go."

At noon, after lunch, Xie Fu planned to visit the Lu Mansion and Gu Mansion in person to understand the details of this military competition.

Tantai Heqing personally prepared gorgeous clothes for him, and while serving Xie Fu to put them on, she complained: "I don't know how Xianting is a wife, so that you dress so poorly, and those who don't know think I'm mean to you."

Tantai Heqing's words involuntarily showed that she has always been strong and always likes to focus on herself.

Xie Fu felt it, but he didn't say anything. As a husband, the biggest feature of him is to maintain his wife's personality, and he doesn't ask his wife to make any changes.

What they were like when they fell in love, and what they were like after they became husband and wife.

Tantai Heqing soon realized that she had said the wrong thing, and she took the initiative to say: "My lord, I said the wrong thing."

　Finally, my mother's situation has stabilized.

　　Wait for the manpower to be released and then give everyone a stable update.

　　(Special thanks to a special book friend who has been secretly helping you. You are interested and let you spend money. I will write more about Xiaoyun's plot.)
