capital girl

Chapter 179 The cousin is here
Meng Shiyu said, "There are some things that we have to do ourselves to be easier to control..."

"Because we don't know if there is any connection between the navy in Xiuzhou and the pirates."

Li Yulou nodded, "I listen to you...but you have to be careful."

"I know..." Meng Shiyu hugged Li Yulou in his arms and slowly helped her unbutton her shirt.

Li Yulou reached out to hold his big hand and looked at him with smiles in his eyes, "In broad daylight, what are you going to do..."

"It's night when the curtain is drawn, I can't wait... I know how much I miss you these days." Meng Shiyu whispered in Li Yulou's ear.

"Don't miss me..." Li Yulou said seriously.

"Why?" Meng Shiyu asked.

"Because you will be distracted when you think about me. If you are doing such a dangerous thing, it will be very dangerous if you are distracted." Li Yulou said nervously.

Meng Shiyu pinched her white and tender chin, and gently bit her lips, "Then my mind is full of you now, what do you think should I do?"

"Of course it's possible now..." Li Yulou smiled shyly.

"Then you still said that it's daytime now, and you have to wait until night, sister Yulou..."

Li Yulou felt that his whole body went numb when he heard his sister in this body.

After being tender and caring, Li Yulou lay in Meng Shiyu's arms.

Meng Shiyu played with her brocade-like hair with his fingers.

"Shiyu, when are you going to go out to fight the island?" Li Yulou asked.

"The time is not yet ripe..." Meng Shiyu said.

"There are too few troops, and the effect of the training is mediocre. The most important thing is the lack of confidence... In addition, the understanding of pirates is not enough." Meng Shiyu said.

"Aren't those people like Wang Dabiao pirates?" Li Yulou asked.

Meng Shiyu shook his head, "They are not pirates, they can only be regarded as water bandits."

"What's the difference then?"

Li Yulou didn't know the difference between pirates and water bandits, they both did evil on the water.

"The pirates are at sea, but the water bandits are on the river." Meng Shiyu explained.

"Wang Dabiao and his Ganglong Gang are in Wumai Mountain. The cottage is inside the mountain." Meng Shiyu said, "They are ordinary bandits."

"But those pirates are different..."

"Then how do you understand the pirates?" Li Yulou asked.

"Don't worry, wait slowly. As long as we have a reputation here, people will come to join us." Meng Shiyu laughed.

"If I'm so good-looking and outstanding, Sister Yulou will naturally like me, and will actively pursue me. It's a reason..." Meng Shiyu looked at her affectionately and said.

"How can this be the same?" Li Yulou shook his head.

"What's the difference? Things are different, but the truth is the same." Meng Shiyu's lips groped around Li Yulou's earlobe slowly.

Huge palms slid across her calves, touched her feet, and gently rubbed her toes.

"More..." Li Yulou's face was red, and his voice was earnest.

"I still want to..." Meng Shiyu said in a vague voice.

The two of them didn't have dinner and slept until breakfast the next morning, when Meng Shiyu went to work.

In the blink of an eye, another period of time passed, and the development of gunpowder by Meng Shiyu and Zhou Wang was progressing rapidly.

In addition to the sound of ping-pong-pong construction in Linshui County, there are explosions from time to time.People are no longer surprised and used to these noises.

Meng Shiyu was still busy that day, and a yamen servant hurried over.

"My lord, an old man brought some people over and insisted on seeing you..." the yamen servant said.

Meng Shiyu didn't ask what kind of old man was looking for him, he put down his work and came to the Yamen.

Sure enough, there were several people sitting in the yamen, and the leader was an old man about 60 years old.

"Old man, are you looking for me?" Meng Shiyu asked when he saw the old man.

"Do you still remember the old man..." The old man stood up and was about to salute.

Meng Shiyu stretched out his hand to support him, "Of course I remember, that small fishing boat by the sea..."

"I didn't expect you to remember an old man like me..." The old man looked very excited.

"Of course I remember, how could I forget after I told you so much..." Meng Shiyu motioned for the old man to sit down, and then asked the yamen servant to pour a few more cups of tea.

"Did the old man encounter any difficulties?" Meng Shiyu asked.

"It's not... I'm looking for my lord today to apologize for lying to my lord that day." The old man said with a face of shame.

"Lying..." Meng Shiyu said, "What did the old man lie about?"

"Actually, I know where the pirates are, and they also know...we were caught by pirates, and then we escaped by chance and survived."

Meng Shiyu looked at several people with a surprised expression.

Those few people also looked about 40 to [-] years old, with vicissitudes of life and ragged clothes.

"Do you all know where the pirates are?" Meng Shiyu asked.

The men nodded.

"There are two factions of pirates, one is on Pearl Island and the other is on Shuangya Island..." said the old man.

"Bring the map..." Meng Shiyu ordered.

The yamen servant immediately brought over the map.

"This is Pearl Island, and this is Shuangya Island..." Meng Shiyu pointed to the positions of the two islands on the map.

"My lord, the pirates on Shuangya Island are very fierce. Their leader is a very strong and burly man..." said the old man, "The body is wider than the wall."

"And the leader on Pearl Island is a woman. They believe in the doctrine of saints, which is very mysterious..." said the old man.

Meng Shiyu listened carefully to the introduction of the pirates by the old man and those few people.

"My lord, that's all we know..." The old man showed a sad look on his face, "Many of our companions died at the hands of pirates..."

"My lord, can you really wipe out these demonic pirates?" The old man looked at Meng Shiyu, his cloudy eyes full of expectation.

"Yes!" Meng Shiyu said firmly.

He must and must be able.

The old man plopped and knelt in front of Meng Shiyu, "My lord..."

"Okay, get up, this is what we were supposed to do, and it's my fault for making you suffer so much." Meng Shiyu said.

The old man burst into tears.

The common people are so simple, originally the Yamen should protect them, but they don't have much resentment in their hearts.

Once someone offers to help them, they are grateful.

"Your Excellency, you should take the grassroots with you when you send troops," the old man begged. "Although the grassroots are old, they have spent their entire lives at sea, so they can contribute a little bit to matters at sea."

"Okay!" Meng Shiyu said, "Live well, I will definitely let you see the day when the pirates will be wiped out..."

The old man left with those people, and Meng Shiyu went back to work.

Li Yulou is cleaning the yard, here she only has Chuntao as a servant.

Chuntao has a loose temperament, she doesn't expect Chuntao to do anything, she might as well do it herself.

"Ma'am..." Suddenly someone stood at the door and shouted.

Li Yulou looked in the direction of the door, and saw a yamen servant standing there with another young boy.

"This little brother is looking for an adult, so I brought him here." The yamen servant said.

The yamen servant was still very careful, after all, he didn't know who this boy was, and he didn't want him to see the place where Meng Shiyu and the others made gunpowder.

"Sister-in-law..." the boy called out.

Li Yulou didn't recognize him for a while, she stared at him, and she seemed to have some impression in her memory.

"You are... Fanchen..." Li Yulou asked tentatively.

"It's me, sister-in-law, you don't know me, I'm so sad, I'm so good-looking, how could you forget me..." Meng Fanchen said, and he had already entered the yard.

"He is your Lord Meng's cousin and a relative, so go get busy." Li Yulou said to the yamen servant.

The yamen servant said goodbye and turned to leave.

"It's not that sister-in-law didn't recognize you, it's just that she didn't dare to recognize you. It's been a long time since I saw you and you've grown so tall..." Li Yulou looked at Meng Fanchen with a smile on his face.

"Sister-in-law, we haven't seen each other for three years. The last time we met was when you and my brother got married. We came to see the elders. We met once." Meng Fanchen said.

Li Yulou said aha twice, thinking about it, it was true, they only met once, and it was more than three years ago.For a child, three years is indeed impressive.

"Come, come, come and talk..." Li Yulou said as Meng Fanchen entered the room, and poured him a large glass of water.

"Sister-in-law, you are getting more and more beautiful." Meng Fanchen said with a smile.

"A child's mouth is so sweet..." Li Yulou was very happy when someone praised her for her beauty.

"You sit down first, I'll go find Shi Yu..." Li Yulou said.

"You don't have to look for my brother, I'm mainly looking for my sister-in-law." Meng Fanchen said with a smile.

"Slick-tongued, be careful, I'll tell your brother later..." Li Yulou had already left the door as he spoke.

The place where Meng Shiyu made gunpowder was not far from where they lived. Soon she found Meng Shiyu and told him about Meng Fanchen's sudden arrival.

Meng Shiyu said, "Think about it, this kid is fifteen years old, how is his studies? Why did he suddenly run to such a far place, tired of living in the capital?"

"I haven't asked carefully yet. I want to ask you to go back. It's more appropriate for you to ask." Li Yulou said.

Li Yulou and Meng Shiyu entered the courtyard while talking.

Meng Fanchen came out of the room and looked at Meng Shiyu with a smile on his face.

"Does it seem to have changed? I was a child when I first met, but now I am about the same size as you. When I first came in, I didn't recognize it." Li Yulou looked at Meng Fanchen and said to Meng Shiyu.

"Have you passed the exam?" Meng Shiyu lowered his eyebrows and asked.

"Sister-in-law, I told you not to call my brother, I'm here to see you. Look at him, and ask this unpleasant thing as soon as you meet..." Meng Fanchen said with a frown.

"You're fifteen, you won't fail the exam for a scholar?" Meng Shiyu looked at Meng Fanchen in shock.

"Do you think that everyone is like you, born with the material to study, there are many people who fail the examination of scholar, let alone 35, 45, 55, [-]..." Meng Fanchen said nothing at all. The meaning of backing down.

Seeing that the two brothers were about to quarrel when they met, Li Yulou hurried up to try to make peace, "Okay, Fan Chen came here to look for us after traveling so hard, he missed us.

Just ask these when you come up, the days will be long in the future, ask slowly..."

"I'll just say sister-in-law, I'm here to see you..." Meng Fanchen pouted to Li Yulou aggrievedly.

"How old are you kid, still pouting and acting like a spoiled child to your sister-in-law, really..." Meng Shiyu was speechless.

"A sister-in-law is like a mother. How old I am, I am still a child in front of my sister-in-law." Meng Fanchen said.

Li Yulou suddenly had the feeling of being a mother, and she enjoyed it quite a bit.She simply showed her maternal dignity to protect Meng Fanchen.

"Let's go, sister-in-law, go to the next door to see what's delicious for lunch today, and you must ask them to add a dish when you come." Li Yulou dragged Meng Fanchen to the next door.

"Just spoil him, your uncle and aunt at home are used to it, and when you come here, you spoil him..." Meng Shiyu said helplessly behind them.

When Meng Fanchen came, Chuntao added a few more dishes.

"Tell me, why did you suddenly appear here?" Meng Shiyu asked.

"Brother, I haven't eaten a good meal all the way. After all, Sister Chuntao made such a delicious meal for me, can you let me finish the meal?" Meng Fanchen said.

"You eat, you eat..." Li Yulou signaled Meng Fanchen to eat, then turned to Meng Shiyu and said, "If you have anything to ask, wait until the child finishes eating."

"Sister-in-law, you are so kind." Meng Fanchen said.

Li Yulou suddenly thought that if they had children in the future, would they get along with Meng Shiyu in the same way when the children grew up, and felt inexplicably interesting.

"Is it funny?" Meng Shiyu asked coldly seeing Li Yulou's bright smile.

"No, no..." Li Yulou smiled and shook his head.

Meng Shiyu felt that Li Yulou was thinking of something strange, but she didn't tell him.

"I just don't want to stay at home anymore, I feel bored. My parents always let me read and study, but I don't like reading, so I ran out. I didn't expect my cousin to let me study when I came here." After eating, Meng Fanchen said.

"At least you have to be a scholar." Meng Shiyu said.

"But I don't want to memorize those articles, I don't think they are useful at all..." Meng Fancheng said.

Meng Shiyu frowned, "What's so difficult about those articles, won't you memorize them after reading them once?"

Meng Fanchen stared at Meng Shiyu with wide eyes, "Sister-in-law, do you think what he said is human?"

Seeing that Meng Shiyu was going to get angry, Li Yulou hurried to comfort him, "Don't be angry, Fan Chen is just restless and wants to go out for a walk, it's okay.

Let him live here for a period of time, let someone take him to experience the hardships of life here, he will know how good life is in the capital, and he will definitely study hard. "

Meng Shiyu thought for a while, then nodded, "Then you stay here for the time being. Up to two months, and then hurry back to the capital to study hard."

Meng Fanchen promised you feebly.

"Is there anything new in the capital?" Li Yulou asked Meng Fanchen with an itch in his heart after not hearing gossip for a long time.

"Your Majesty's health is getting worse..." Meng Fanchen probably felt that Meng Shiyu wanted to hear this, so he followed what Meng Shiyu wanted to hear.

After all, in the Dezhou case, Meng Shiyu did not make any serious mistakes, but the emperor was narrow-minded, so Meng Shiyu was relegated to Linshui County as a ninth-rank official.

Meng Fanchen felt that Meng Shiyu must hold a grudge against the emperor, so he picked out the unhappy things about the emperor and told Meng Shiyu.

"The emperor fainted several times. Looking at how time is not long, he doesn't know how many more years he can survive."

Meng Shiyu frowned. In fact, he still wanted the emperor to live a few more years. Although the emperor was his greatest enemy, the emperor's successor was not as good as the current emperor.
