Still a big chapter

………………

The red tent is warm, and the jade body is spread across.

Chen Kai, who was accustomed to getting up early to deal with official duties, woke up quietly as the pointer of his biological clock fell. The beautiful jade in his arms was still sleeping, and Rulan's breathing followed the ups and downs of the mountains, as if this was the eternal melody here.

There is no smoke and dust from the charcoal fire in the workshop, no bloody smoke from the battlefield, and no intrigues in the officialdom. There is only the sweet breath lingering on the nose, on the tip of the tongue, in every inch of the space on the bed.

It's refreshing. What's within reach is skin as smooth as the brocade covering it. When you run your fingers across it, it seems difficult to tell whether you're touching the brocade or the flawless white jade.

Occasionally, there was a slight movement, and the person in his arms faintly woke up, but compared to yesterday, the bright starry eyes seemed to be a little more tired, which made Chen Kai recall the embarrassment of last night.

The souls blended together, the breathing gradually became heavier, the white jade was stained with a shy pink, and the fiery masculinity became more unbridled. Opening the teeth lightly, the soft swimming dragon pursued the victory and broke into the warmth that had never been explored before. The male and female swimming dragons

When we meet, even if we don't have any jewels, we might as well play with each other.

The official robes and clothes gradually slipped off, the deer bumped into each other, and the white rabbit panicked, causing the breathing to become heavier and heavier. They didn't even need to feel each other, they could guess each other's mood just by closing their eyes and listening.

Next, the mountains fell and the white walls trembled slightly. When the tiger entered the forest, the forest birds were so startled that they soared and turned into dots of red plums. However, the man in his arms had already buried his small head into Chen Kai's arms.

among.

"My husband is smiling so wickedly, please don't look at me like that, okay?"

"Afraid?"

"OK."

She got into her arms, hugging her pink arms tighter and tighter, as if this was the only way to escape from that shyness. It wasn't until a long time later that Zheng Xiyuan gradually adapted to this situation, and suddenly remembered that she still had to be polite today.

OK, so he quickly asked Chen Kai about the time.

"It's still early, there's no rush."

They hugged each other and slept for an unknown amount of time before the soft and waxy girl gently knocked on the door to remind the master that his wife had gotten up. After hearing this, Chen Kai sat up, the brocade quilt slipped down, and his jade body was half-covered, but he looked at

When he reached a handkerchief dotted with plum blossoms, he reached out to take it. Unexpectedly, Zheng Xiyuan snatched it away quickly and hid it behind his back, biting his red lips, feeling ashamed and angry.

"On weekdays, when I see my husband, I know how to behave and observe etiquette. I can't think of it, I can't think of it, huh!"

With her jade legs curled up, her fair skin fully exposed, Zheng Xiyuan grabbed the brocade quilt, covered her body, and turned her head away from looking at Chen Kai. Chen Kai, on the other hand, swallowed, clung to the edge of the brocade quilt, and got closer easily.

Arriving in front of Zheng Xiyuan.

"Madam, you must know that there are many things about your husband that you can't think of."

Wrapping his arms around him, caressing his shoulders gently, Chen Kai stretched out his tongue and touched the soft red lips. In an instant, the tiger reappeared, his smile even stronger.

………………

There was no delay in etiquette, it just seemed a little rushed. After paying homage to the ancestors of the Chen family, Zheng Xiyuan's identity was finally determined. Outsiders could call her the governor's wife, and she could also be recorded as Chen Zheng.

The title of "Gongfu Miss" no longer exists. After all, when you get married, you have to obey your husband.

"Yonghua pays homage to his adoptive mother."

After paying homage to his ancestors, some members of his family came to pay homage to the new mistress. The housekeepers and servants on both sides were still there. Chen Kai adopted Chen Yonghua as his adopted son. His adopted son has also been studying at Zhongzuo Institute for the past two years.

, I came here early this morning to wait, this prayer is indispensable.

"I became a mother right after I entered the door. When will we give birth to another child?"

At Chen Kai's teasing, Zheng Xiyuan quickly gave him a nudge, reminding him that someone was still there, which made Chen Kai laugh out loud.

As newlyweds, the master and the mistress were inseparable, and they didn't seem to have any concerns about the earlier difficulties within the Zheng family. The eldest maid who came with the dowry and the wet nurse looked at each other, and couldn't help but secretly let out a sigh of relief. It's just like this

Worrying at the Dingguo Duke's Mansion can only be completely relieved when the bride and groom return to the house.

Returning home was a quick matter. Chen Kai brought enough gifts, and Zheng Hongkui also prepared a banquet. The mother and daughter returned to the back house to talk, and everyone who accompanied them also left wisely. After nearly two years,

, Chen Kai and Zheng Hongkui, the father-in-law and son-in-law, finally sat face to face again, but things have changed and people are no longer the same as before.

"I feel relieved to see you and Yuan Yuan respect and love each other so much."

"Taishan should know what kind of character my son-in-law is."

"I know it. I have been thinking clearly about it in Baisha for more than a year. I have seen it more clearly. I know it. But even if it is like this, I can't help but worry."

"This is human nature, and Taishan doesn't need to be like this. I like Yuan Yuan, and Yuan Yuan also likes me. That's enough. I don't care about other people and things. Do you have to make yourself unhappy for them?

It’s not true either.”

Chen Kai smiled and talked eloquently. Zheng Hongkui couldn't help but sigh: "It's no accident that you can be independent of the outside world and stick to your heart. It's no accident that you have achieved what you have today."

"Of course it's not an accident. My son-in-law has come here step by step, and he will continue to walk step by step. My original intention has never changed, whether it is for fate or for this era!"

………………

The old feud was settled, and the two men had a pleasant conversation. Inside, Chen Kai didn't know how Zheng Xiyuan's mother and daughter were talking, but when they were leaving, the mother-in-law looked at Chen Kai, her son-in-law, and she liked him more and more.

I wish I could treat him like my own son, so it’s self-explanatory without asking.

It is tradition to stay overnight when returning to Menzi. Chen Kai and Zheng Xiyuan went there early, had dinner and then returned by carriage. This time, many people's worries were relieved, but they were missing an uncle.

But it always makes people feel awkward.

On this point, Chen Kai did not ask Zheng Xiyuan, but Zheng Hongkui mentioned that he asked Zheng Zhaoji to go back to Baisha to study and recuperate some time ago. He was also given the surname of Guo, and this man with the surname of Xiao Guo seemed to be a bit unskilled. In fact, if you look carefully,

It's right to think about it. If his own son was really incompetent, who would place all their hopes on his nephew?

"Brother has never had a hard time since he was born. It's probably because of this that he is like this."

The marriage between Chen Kai and Zheng Xiyuan was obstructed by Mrs. Huang and Zheng Hongkui on the surface, but behind the scenes was the desperate struggle of the Zheng children. Among them, the one who danced the most happily was Zheng Zhaoji. Speaking of which, Chen Kai is like this

His brother-in-law should be a rare good thing for Zheng Zhaoji, but Zheng Zhaoji didn't think so. On the contrary, he tried his best to obstruct it. There was an element of being bewitched by other Zheng children, but more of it was due to himself.

As far as Chen Kai knew, some time before the marriage was rescheduled, Zheng Hongkui cut off Zheng Zhaoji's monthly income. Having lost his source of income, Xiao Guo had to return to Baisha to surrender to his father. He had played a trick in front of his sister earlier.

Brother Tao's courage is also gone.

No matter what era it is, you have to eat and think about sex. Only when you have a full stomach can you have the energy and mind to toss. This is an eternal truth. As Cheng Zhaoji, he will not be hungry, but he is used to living a life of debauchery. , was used to spending money lavishly, Zheng Zhaoji would not be able to bear it if he really lived a normal life or found a job with Zheng Chenggong.

You can ignore this uncle for the time being. Even when those clowns were messing around in secret, Chen Kai never took this person seriously. There are many things that don’t need to be done deliberately, especially those who don’t need to deal with them. As ordinary people know, when big things are done well, there will often be a situation where heaven and earth work together, and the same is true for the resolution of this marriage.

After returning to the door, more and more people came to congratulate Chen Kai, especially those relatives of the Zheng family. They called each other a brother-in-law, a brother-in-law, and even an uncle. They seemed to be very affectionate. Even when Chen Kai and Zheng Xiyuan first arranged their marriage, they were not so eager.

When someone came here to pay homage, Chen Kai not only had to pay homage, but he also had to visit elders like Mrs. Huang. No one else mentioned it, but the ancestor not only admitted frankly that she had always insisted on this marriage. His attitude towards her change of heart was also expressed as being for the Zheng family, and just like Zheng Hongkui did back then, he warned Chen Kai that the Zheng family must be the focus.

The old lady was still very stubborn, and Chen Kai didn't have the same understanding as her. Once they got in each other's face, it was over. There was no need to get into a tense situation, especially with such an elder.

The Zheng Group's attribute positioning war finally ended with the victory of Chen Kai and Zheng Chenggong. Zheng Chenggong ensured the ideological unity of the Zheng Group's anti-Qing nature. Chen Kai married Zheng Xiyuan, which officially established his position as the third member of the Zheng Group. The actual status of the number two figure is even second to Zheng Tai, the God of Wealth of the Zheng Group. This has been recognized. The civil and military officials of the Zheng Group, the children of the Ishii Zheng family, and even those from as far away as the Southwest This is the case for all the Ming Dynasty!

After a few days of visiting relatives, Chen Kai finally got out of it. He made an appointment with Lu Ruoteng and Shen Quanqi, and the gathering, which had been delayed for many days, finally came to an end.

When they met, they were just teased by Lu Ruoteng and Shen Quanqi. Living life and death together was different. It was precisely because of life and death together that Chen Kai made the matter clear to the two of them.

"Heaven and Earth will meet?" Lu Ruoteng frowned and thought about it carefully, but he only asked tentatively: "I'm afraid it's not the place where you can recite poems, write poems and pour out your heart, right?"

"Of course, if it's not for doing things, why would I waste so much time?"

From their understanding, Chen Kai is indeed this kind of person. At best, he is ambitious, self-motivated, and capable of action. At worst, he is a workaholic and inhumane.

However, contrary to many people, Chen Kai never believes that workaholics are inhumane. He has goals to fight for and actions to work hard to realize his dreams. If a person cannot work hard for his dreams, then he will not work hard for his dreams. What's the difference? That's the real walking dead, with no humanity whatsoever.

Lu Ruoteng and Shen Quanqi can certainly understand, including that they also put a lot of energy into fighting against the Qing Dynasty, and they also look down on those who hide at home, have money tails, wear long robes and mandarin jackets, and only know how to recite poems and write poems all day long. They show to others that they miss their motherland, but they dare not make any efforts for it.

"Since I'm doing something, it's not a big deal for me to be idle all the time. Besides, the methods are always very fresh."

"That's right. Let's not talk about anything else. I just want to say that the knowledge of first aid is indeed an important supplement to medical skills. Even just for this, I, Shen Quanqi, will definitely join the association."

Chen Kai explained the program, purpose, etc. to the two of them one by one. In the final analysis, the biggest similarity between this Heaven and Earth Society and those in history is that it exists with the goal of expelling the Tartars. Chen Kai added a lot of information to it. The mature concepts of modern party politics have made it more cohesive. At this stage, the defense of Huayi is still the forerunner, and the destruction of the Qing Dynasty is the basic task at this stage. As for the ultimate goal, Chen Kai is not in a hurry to put it Make it public

The two followed Chen Kai back to the Chen family's residence. In the study, Chen Kai hung up the flag of the Tiandi Society and personally held an initiation ceremony for the two of them. With this sense of ceremony, it was originally just because The two people who believed in Chen Kai and joined the association actually developed some centripetal force towards the Tiandi Society.

"The societies established in the past few years of this dynasty were mostly loose organizations with like-minded scholars. Those with strong cohesion, such as Fushe, Loudong Erzhang advocated rent-sharing, abolishing membership, withdrawing envoys, and stopping internal affairs. The goal is to attack the eunuchs. When the Tatars enter the customs, they will go their own way. Some choose to fight against the Qing, some choose to live in seclusion, and some simply work for the tiger, just like scattered sand."

Fushe had an extremely huge influence in the late Ming Dynasty. The Wujiang Yinshan Conference in the second year of Chongzhen, the Nanjing Jinling Conference in the third year of Chongzhen, and the Suzhou Huqiu Conference in the sixth year of Chongzhen had extremely huge social influence. There were two official members There were more than 1,200 Fushe members who ascended to the throne one after another, causing a stir in the government and the public. Many civil and military officers, sergeants and officials, and school students claimed to be under Zhang Pu, using Du Dengchun's words in the book "The Beginning and End of Social Affairs". According to records, "more than tens of thousands of people followed him."

With this strength, Fushe interfered with local administration, resisted taxes, and even expelled local officials without authorization. He also used lip service in the court to defend Fushe scholars and their local behavior. The slogan of attacking the eunuch party reflects the true nature of its main members.

When Lu Ruoteng mentioned the restoration of society, Chen Kai listened carefully and realized that looking at the essence through the phenomenon, it was nothing more than the great prosperity of the southern economy, the decline of the control of the autocratic dynasty, and the transformation of the military into feudal towns. At the same time, the gentry class was striving for local gentry governance. It's just an attempt, nothing new at all.

"If we want to talk about those who are truly upright, we have to talk about a few societies..."

Jishe's reputation is pitifully lower than that of Fushe, but there have been heroes like Chen Zilong and Xia Yunyi in Jishe. Their clubs are not as accepting of both wise and foolish as Fushe, and the standards for recruiting people into the club are even lower. High, so the number of members has never been large. The purpose of the club is to preach that "there are several ways to revive the unique knowledge, and to know the meaning of the gods". To put it bluntly, it is to respect the ancients and restore the past, and to change the country in terms of articles, which is in line with the Tang Dynasty The ancient prose movement advocated by Han Yu, Liu Zongyuan and others is somewhat similar.

"...the seven sons of Jishe, Du Zhenglin, Chen Zilong, Xia Yunyi, Zhou Lixun, Xu Fuyuan, Peng Bin, Li Wen, Chen and Xia have all died heroically for their country. Xu Fuyuan is now at the Zhongzuo Institute, and he also came to congratulate him when they got married. Recently, several long-dispersed societies have been rebuilt on Zhongzuoso Island, and there are also plans to invite Ning Cheng to join the society."

The seven sons of Jishe were not recognized in the book "The Beginning and End of Social Affairs" and were only listed as the sixth son. Du Dengchun was the son of Du Zhenglin. Li Wen who was dismissed due to the surrender to the Qing Dynasty in the book was the idea of ​​the Du family and his son, or was it the entire The decisions of several societies are unknown. However, the several societies rebuilt by Xu Fuyuan that Shen Quanqi mentioned just now have only six founders. Among them are not only Lu Ruoteng and Shen Quanqi, but also the Minister of War of the Lu Supervisor Dynasty. Zhang Huangyan, Cao Conglong and Chen Shijing, the minister of Guanglu Temple, were called the Six Overseas Scholars by later generations.

Lu Ruoteng and Shen Quanqi didn't mention it, but Xu Fuyuan and Chen Kai had heard about it, and Zhang Huang's words were heard like thunder, but Cao Conglong and Chen Shijing were not sure about its origin.

"This matter is quite interesting."

Chen Kai did not rush to agree, nor did he rush to deny. He now represented not only himself, but also as the chief rudder of the Tiandihui. He rashly joined other organizations, even if they were not like Tiandihui. Organization, I am afraid that the impact it will cause is not worth the loss, and categorically rejecting it will make it easier to offend people, so we have to do this for the time being.

One of the purposes of Chen Kai's trip was to attract Lu Ruoteng and Shen Quanqi to join the organization. These two people he had observed for a long time, whether in terms of character or ability, joining them would make contributions to this organization. As for others, It's not just a matter of urgency.

After the banquet, the two left the Chen Mansion together. Chen Kai believed that Zheng Xiyuan had seen all this, and he had no intention of hiding it from Zheng Xiyuan. However, in the dead of night, Zheng Chenggong specially sent someone to come , invited him to the mansion, and then handed him a private letter, which made Chen Kai sigh.
