Under the same night sky, Jiang Wan in Zhenjiang Fort did not fall asleep either.
The two North Korean maids seemed to have passed their initial period of discomfort and became gradually more cheerful in Jiang Wan's house.
With the establishment of the Military and Government Yamen, the original Zhenjiang Fort General Military Mansion's role as the center of the entire Dongjiang Town has gradually been transferred to the new Military and Government Yamen, and this General Military Mansion has truly become Jiang Wan's private residence.
Although the plaque of Liaodong Dusi has been replaced, both people outside and inside this big house still refer to it as "General Military Mansion".
In addition to these two North Korean maids, there are also other female servants in the General Military Mansion.
The cooks and cleaners, and the huge mansion, because of these women or girls, finally don't have such a cold smell. And after nightfall, these girls living in this mansion use
Naturally, the thing that kills the most time is chatting.
In chatting, apart from daily trivial matters, the most talked about thing is of course the recent big win.
Sister Jin Soyan was very willing to get in touch with the girls in the house, and their Ming dialect gradually became fluent and popular, so that sometimes Jiang Wan and his subordinates talked about irrelevant topics, and they were
While serving, they can understand most of the words even without translation.
As a result, they also knew about this huge victory. Although the two of them were in the General Military Mansion and did not go out to participate in the grand ceremony on the day of the triumph, they still felt firsthand the excitement of the people around them.
The pride and excitement in their hearts infected them, making them involuntarily become like two happy little butterflies in the past few days.
In the house, except for the two sisters occasionally communicating in Korean in private, most of the time, they have tried their best to restrain themselves and speak Ming dialect. Now they are wearing Ming clothes and eating Ming food.
Speaking of Daming's words, even people who knew them before saw them again and couldn't believe that these two confident and cheerful girls were the same bunch of timid little sisters who trembled when they saw strangers.
Nowadays, they regard themselves as people of the Ming Dynasty, and their goal is to completely become a Ming Dynasty person.
Jiang Wan would occasionally talk to them when he was tired and resting. However, he was not used to the respect from the two sisters. It made him miss the time he had spent in the small courtyard of the Tenth Prince's Mansion, with Xiaojiu, and
From the days when Su Qianqian and the others were together.
Thinking about Xiaojiu and Su Qianqian, they probably either followed Li Fuyao to Haojing Ao, or stayed in Beijing to accompany Xu Caining. Jiang Wan felt a little proud in her heart. The people around him, whether they were Xu Caining
Old subordinates like Jian and Gao Jin, as well as people like Xiao Jiu and Su Qianqian, now have their own situations and their own futures. It can be said that their lives are really because of
I have been changed.
However, the pair of North Korean sisters in front of them are different. Their lives have changed the moment Park Renyong sent them to him. Whether they can live a better and more exciting life depends on their own efforts.
, most of it still depends on him, Jiang Wan.
There were not many times when Jiang Wan couldn't sleep. His consistent aim was that if a problem couldn't be solved when he was awake, then insomnia would not help solve such a problem. Therefore, he ate when it was time to eat and slept when it was time to sleep.
This is the basis for calmly coping with all changes.
Sometimes he also wonders about the great figures he knows, those great figures who even influenced history with their own power. Apart from those days when they changed history, are the rest of their lives similar to that of others?
Just like me, I occasionally have strange thoughts, sometimes I feel bored and bored, and sometimes I become passionate about something.
He even imagined the life of the young emperor in Beijing. Whether he read it in history books or saw it with his own eyes, this young emperor indeed lived up to his "diligence" after becoming the emperor.
Words, but what about this hard work?
There are twelve hours in a day, twenty-four hours. History books say that he only slept four or five hours a day. Then he would not have spent all the rest of the time dealing with state affairs. He also had a queen and his own children.
, and even has his own preferences. So, when no one is around, when he temporarily puts aside the safety of the country and the rise and fall of the country, what is he thinking about and what is he doing?
Whispering sounds came from the room where the two North Korean girls lived. Jiang Wan coughed, and the sounds in the room suddenly stopped. A figure on the window shook a little, as if he was about to stand up.
Not far away from the entrance to the courtyard, the standing guards looked back and saw their master standing under the eaves. They turned their heads again and watched the night in front of them warily.
In the distance, there was a faint sound of someone moving. It was the footsteps of patrolling soldiers stepping on the stone slabs outside. Jiang Wan looked at the sky. A crescent moon poked its head out from the clouds, which seemed to tell him that there was still time.
It's not time for curfew.
"master!"
Probably after hearing Jiang Wan's movements, You Yong's figure appeared out of nowhere. The village boy who followed Jiang Wan in Zhouzhuang and didn't know anything was now a burly man. After training in Nanhaiwei,
He followed Jiang Wan to Dongjiang Town, and now, after a few moves, he is already the captain of Jiang Wan's personal soldiers.
His future, both he and Jiang Wan, are clear. As long as he makes no mistakes in the position of captain of the soldiers, then if he is deployed again, he will be at least a guerrilla battalion or even a deputy general.
"It's okay. I suddenly want to go out for a walk. How long is the curfew?"
Jiang Wan waved her hand: "I won't cause you much trouble!"
"Master..." You Yong was in a dilemma: "It's already so late. Whatever you want to do, I can just arrange it for you at the house. If you really want to go out for a walk, why don't you wait until tomorrow during the day? What do you think?
Sample?"
Jiang Wan smiled. He knew that this was probably the result. After this person's position was high, he couldn't even make the decision on many things. Of course, he could also force You Yong to follow him out of the army.
Mansion, wandering around in the busy place outside, but apart from tormenting the loyal guards around him, this is also a sign of irresponsibility for his own safety.
"Forget it, come find some food and drink with me!"
He pointed to the room next to him: "Let the two of them come out. They are awake and awake, and tell them that I will treat them to a drink!"
Jiang Wan's request was quickly fulfilled. Not long after, a table of simple but appetizing-looking wine and food appeared in front of Jiang Wan. You Yong no longer stood beside Jiang Wan as a personal guard.
Behind him, he sat opposite Jiang Wan with some restraint, while the two sisters Jin Soyan and You Yong were worse than You Yong. They sat on both sides of Jiang Wan, not even knowing where to put their hands.
"You're welcome, let's eat!"
Jiang Wan smiled and took the lead: "I am your master tonight, and you are the people close to me. There is no need to be restrained. The master has been acting like a master and a handsome man all day long. In front of outsiders, the master
I’m tired too, please let me relax for a while, okay?”
You Yong smiled: "Thank you very much, sir, You Yong is welcome!"
The two sisters also glanced at Jiang Wan, and boldly started to move towards the delicious-looking dishes on the table.
"That's right!" Jiang Wan sipped her wine and said as she ate, "You Yong, you followed me in Zhouzhuang during the first year of Chongzhen's reign, right?"
"Yes, Master!" You Yong nodded.
"In the blink of an eye, it's been almost six years!" Jiang Wan let out a long breath: "I remember when you, Miss Ninth, laughed at you four for being 'uneducated'. It's just like yesterday. These days go by so fast.
ah!"
"By the way, are you four still in contact?"
"Yes!" You Yong put down his chopsticks and showed a hint of nostalgia: "Brother Xiao Fei is now in charge of the Central Army and is an effective general under the master. Hua Sanqian went to Ryukyu with the Nanhai Guard some time ago. Master, have you forgotten
Yes, when you asked the Military Intelligence Department to select some reliable people to join the troops going to Ryukyu, three thousand brothers took the initiative to sign up!"
"Oh, I remember there was Wen Qiang. Where is that silly guy? Where is he now?"
"He is rather unlucky. During the last war, he injured his arm and retired from the army. Now he is working in the civil affairs office. I don't know the specific position. If the master wants to know, I will go find out tomorrow!"
"No need!" Jiang Wan shook his head: "Everyone has his or her own destiny. There is no need to inquire. Serving in the military and political yamen is the same as serving in the civil and political yamen. Seeing that you have all grown up, I also
I’m so happy!”
He looked at You Yong with a smile: "As for you, I can't let you stay with me for too long. It will delay your future. Do you want to go to the Military and Political Yamen to lead troops, or to the Civil Affairs Yamen?
No matter which side I am on, I need someone close to me like you!"
"I haven't thought about it yet!" You Yong glanced at Jiang Wan weakly: "I don't even know what I can do!"
Ha ha ha ha!
Jiang Wan laughed. This was the truest answer. He didn't want to hear the hypocrisy of "I will go wherever the commander wants me to go" at this time.
"Don't be in a hurry, think about it slowly and do your own thing well while thinking about it. My personal guards are all loyal and brave men selected from the army. They will use what you learned in Zhouzhuang and what you learned around me.
Teach them, and then when I choose your successor, I will let you go!"
He turned to look at the two girls with a smile: "Da Jin, Xiao Jin, what about you, what do you want to do in the future? If I am in a good mood now, I might agree to it as soon as you open your mouth!"
The two little sisters looked at each other, and then the older sister summoned up the courage to speak.
"Master, what we most want to do in this life is to go to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to have a look. The master's home is in the capital. Do you think that when the master returns, he will take us back too!"
"Of course!"
Jiang Wan laughed: "Not counting this, you will have the opportunity to go to the capital. I am asking you, who do you want to be and what kind of things do you want to do?"
"We don't want to do anything, we just want to follow the master!" The two sisters said together: "We don't understand anything. It's so dangerous outside. We know that the master is our God. If we can serve him by his side, we
I’m very satisfied!”
"You will grow up!" Jiang Wan waved her hand and said this to two little girls of fifteen or sixteen years old. It seemed too early to say this, especially since these two girls had left their hometowns. I'm afraid safety was what they wanted most.
Want something.
"Is there anyone else in your family? Are your parents still there?" Jiang Wan waved her hands: "If there are others, you can send someone to bring them to Zhenjiang Fort. What can we say, Zhenjiang Fort is better than the one on Pingyuan Road?
Have a better life!"
The two girls shook their heads slowly, but their expressions did not change.
"In the past, we had long forgotten it. When we remembered the incident, it was in Master Park's house..." The girl said with a smile: "Master Park said that we were picked up, but we also guessed
, even if we didn’t pick it up, we still bought it. After so many years, I’m afraid no one will remember us!”
Probably feeling that such a topic made the atmosphere a little depressing, the two girls stood up and said: "Let's dance for the master to entertain him..."
"good!"
Jiang Wan nodded: "After fighting for several years, if I watch you dance, no one will say that I am arrogant!"
There was no music, but the clear singing of the two girls spread in the courtyard, and the two graceful figures slowly danced. The moon poked its head out from the clouds again, seeming to be quietly admiring the two from the sky.
A girl dancing.
The singing spread to the outside of the courtyard, and the guards standing guard at the door smiled at each other. Some of these personal guards around Jiang Wan were loyal guards who had followed Jiang Wan for many years, and some were newcomers selected from the army, but in
In their hearts and eyes, Jiang Wan has always been the person who is thinking very hard about the entire Liaodong City and is busy at all times.
At this moment, seeing their handsome man finally relaxed, they felt themselves relaxed as they ate wine, listened to songs, and watched beauties dancing.
How can a person keep his bow and arrow tightly stretched all the time? If the bow and arrow is stretched for a long time, the bow and arrow will become useless. If a person keeps it stretched for a long time, he will get sick and fall down.
But now in Liaodong Dusi, everything is in order, everything is prospering, and all of this is tied to the man in the yard.
Anyone in the entire Liaodong Dusi can fall, but the man inside must not fall.
