Shang Yi and his fleet docked in Suzhou, and left the 20th and 22nd Regiments of the Ninth Division in Suzhou. On the one hand, they strengthened Suzhou's defensive strength, and on the other hand, they waited for Li Dingguo to open up the situation in Hubei.
He sailed westward from Suzhou to reinforce the Hubei area. Then he led other troops and returned to Hangzhou from Suzhou. On the afternoon of February 3, he arrived in Hangzhou.
When the troops entered Hangzhou City, Zhou Shiqi, Wang Fuzhi, and Li Yan had already led the officials in Hangzhou City to greet them at Yuhang Gate. They were also warmly welcomed by the people of Hangzhou.
Although Nanjing was eventually lost, the propaganda work in Zhejiang was very good. On the one hand, it carefully analyzed the objective reasons for the loss of Nanjing. On the other hand, it also focused on publicizing the achievements of the merchant army in defending Nanjing. In addition, in the past few years,
The merchant army had established a great reputation in Zhejiang, so the residents of Hangzhou did not feel panic. On the contrary, they were full of confidence in the merchant army's ability to defend Zhejiang.
Residents beat gongs and drums on both sides of the imperial road to welcome the return of the soldiers. This also made the soldiers very excited and once again strengthened their determination to defend Zhejiang.
Because it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon when Shang Yi entered the city, it was impossible to summon all the officials to discuss matters at this time. Fortunately, while Shang Yi was away fighting, all the work in Hangzhou was going well.
It went very smoothly and did not require Shang Yi to worry too much.
At the same time, Hangzhou was also ready to welcome the army. The military camps had been cleaned, and the kitchens were stocked with food, wine, and food. At the same time, Akashi-hime and other members of the Xuanhuang Sect were also arranged to rest in the post.
Shang Yi was very satisfied with the dedicated service. It seemed that Hangzhou’s administrative organization
It has become a system that can operate on its own, and I can rest assured. Therefore, I just bumped into Zhou Shiqi, Wang Fuzhi, Li Yan and other officials, exchanged a few greetings, and then agreed to gather officials from various departments in Hangzhou tomorrow morning.
Discussion. Then he returned to his own governor's house.
Back at the house, Lin Fengwu, Chen Yuanyuan, Alexandra, Zhu Yuluo and others warmly welcomed them. Although Shang Yi did not leave for a long time this time, they also knew in Hangzhou that this
A war was much more dangerous than any previous one, and Ye Yaojiao also had a sudden incident.
Although they did not know the inside story of this incident, they instinctively felt a bad atmosphere. Therefore, seeing Shang Yi finally return safely, of course they could not help but feel excited, and in
In the Governor's Mansion, they don't need to hide their feelings too much.
Of course Shang Yi had to comfort everyone. Fortunately, the number of wives and concubines was not large yet, and they could still take care of them. If the number of seniors who had traveled through time exceeded two digits, it would really be
A very hard job.
After walking around for a while, Shang Yi realized that Ye Yaoqi had not come out, and felt a little strange in his heart. Then he remembered that when he was greeted outside the city just now, he did not see Ye Yaoqi. This was indeed a bit strange.
Shang Yi was surprised, so he couldn't help but ask: "Where is Yaoyao? Where is she?"
Lin Fengwu smiled and said, "Sister and Grandpa Ye are waiting in the room? My husband, come in quickly." Others also looked at Shang Yi, smiling and saying nothing.
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Yaoqi and Ye Xingshi also walked out of the main room, and everyone else also stepped out of the way to make way for Shang Yi. Although Shang Yi felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, he didn't think much about it.
, came to Ye Yaoyao in a few steps, picked her up, and spun her around several times. Others hurriedly gathered around, tugging and tugging. Chen Yuanyuan said anxiously: "Ms. sir, hurry up.
Put Madam down."
Lin Fengwu also said: "That's right, but you must not do anything random."
Shang Yi also felt baffled, but he still put Ye Yaoyao down, and Ye Xingshi had already knocked him on the head and said: "You bastard, you are all about to be a father, why do you still do things like this?"
Where's the frizzy hair? What should I do if I have fetal gas?"
Shang Yi's mind suddenly buzzed. He looked at Ye Yaoyao in disbelief and said, "Yao Yao, is this true?" Then he fixed his eyes on her still slender waist.
Ye Yaoyao's face turned red and she whispered: "Of course it's true. It's only been a month now, so of course I can't tell anything."
Lin Fengwu said: "Although it's only been a month, I can't be so reckless. I was shocked just now. My husband was too reckless."
Shang Yi scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, it's all my fault." He laughed stupidly for a long time, then remembered, and said quickly: "Don't be here.
The door is in front of you, come in quickly!" As he said that, he personally supported Ye Yaoyao and helped her to the room, where she sat on a chair before letting go of her hand. Ye Xingshi disappeared on his own initiative and gave up the time with great self-interest.
Give them to their husbands and wives.
Ye Yaoyao's heart was also filled with sweet joy, and she said: "Okay, grandpa said, I can't help but be so nervous, and I'm not a weak body." Then he said to Wu Lan beside him: "Lan'er
, ordered to go down and start dinner."
Only then did Shang Yi feel that he was a little too nervous, and then he tried his best to recall what pregnant women should pay attention to before traveling through time. Unfortunately, he had no experience in this area, so he had to give up for the time being and check the computer later.
However, Ming also noticed the envious looks of other wives and concubines, and smiled: "Don't worry, you don't have to worry, I'm back this time, everyone has a chance, it's best to arrange it in an orderly manner."
The other wives and concubines suddenly had their cheeks flying, and there was another burst of chirping, and they were coquettish and shy, but their eyes showed an eager light. It also filled Shang Yi's heart with a warm atmosphere.
After a while, tables of wine and food were delivered, and everyone sat down to dine together. At the same time, Lin Fengwu, Chen Yuanyuan, and Alexandra also reported their respective work situations to Shang Yi. Generally speaking, everyone's
The work was done well, especially because Lin Fengwu’s bank has already opened in Zhejiang
Branches have been opened in seven major cities, and business is going very smoothly. Many merchants in Hangzhou and Suzhou have accepted the management method of fund settlement through banks, and the number of loans is also expanding. China’s ancient
The gold industry has also begun to bear fruit.
The publicity and literary work that Chen Yuanyuan was responsible for, as well as Alexandra's security work, were also completed very well. It can be said that everyone has realized their own value.
After dinner, everyone sat together and joked for a while, and then dispersed. Shang Yi sent Ye Yaoyu to the room, then personally supported her bed and made up the quilt for her. Ye Yaoqi said shyly.
: "Brother, you don't have to accompany me anymore. Grandpa said you can't do it in the first three months of pregnancy... so you go to other sisters' rooms to rest."
Shang Yi covered her with a quilt, then lay down next to her and said, "I will stay here with you today and don't do anything else, okay?"
In fact, although Ye Yaojia persuaded Shang Yi to go to someone else's room to rest, she didn't want him to stay with her, so she was very happy. She leaned her head on Shang Yi's shoulder and said, "Brother, do you like boys or girls? "
Shang Yi put his arms around her, patted her back gently and said, "I like both boys and girls, preferably a boy and a girl."
Ye Yaoyao also smiled and said: "That's a twin of a dragon and a phoenix, it's rare to encounter them."
Shang Yi smiled and said: "I didn't say it was this time. After giving birth to this child, we can have a few more, okay?"
Ye Yaoyao blushed and said, "I'm afraid the other sisters won't agree."
Shang Yi chuckled and said, "Didn't I say that? Everyone has a chance. We are all equal. Don't you also have a chance?"
Ye Yaoyao pinched his waist and said: "Brother is so bad." After a pause, he said again: "This time, brother really brought Akashi Ji back to Hangzhou. How about taking her down?" Is there any more?”
Shang Yi was also a little embarrassed by her question. It would have been better if he arrived at normal times, but now that Ye Yaoyao had just confirmed that she was pregnant, she couldn't accept another woman into the house at this time. However, Ye Yaoyao saw how lonely he was. , he also guessed about 70% to 80%, and couldn’t help but laugh and said: “It seems that my brother’s methods of hunting for women are getting better and better now, and he actually took her in.”
Shang Yi gave a bitter smile and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you had..."
Ye Yaoyao covered his mouth and said with a smile: "Brother, there is no need to feel guilty! Because this is what I asked him to do, so he can rest assured. I will invite her to see her tomorrow and everything will be up to me." Come and make arrangements! But these days, my brother still spends more time with the other sisters. In fact, they all also have a baby for him."
Seeing that Ye Yaoyao was so considerate, Shang Yi was very moved. He gently held her in his arms and said, "Yaoyao, you are really good to me."
Ye Yaoyao said: "I am my brother's wife, so of course I should think about him wholeheartedly." After a pause, he added: "The other sisters are all okay and will definitely support my brother's great cause. Only sister Ainao, I'm afraid I can't let go of Ming Chao in my heart. I'm worried that if she knows about her brother's plan, her heart will be knotted. In fact, her life experience is also very pitiful."
Shang Yi also knew that in another time and space, Zhu Yuluo was a woman who was soft on the outside and strong on the inside. After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, she first planned to become a nun, but the Qing Dynasty did not agree and still married her to Chong Zhen who chose her. Although the Qing Dynasty took good care of her, she still died in depression in less than a year. If she knew that she was planning to replace the Ming Dynasty, she might have some grudges in her heart. Although Shang Shang Yi's feelings for her were more out of sympathy, but after all, they had been together for two years, and he didn't want to make it too difficult for her.
At this time, Ye Yaoyao said again: "It's better not to tell her about my brother's matter for the time being. Anyway, we haven't reached the time to be independent yet. When the opportunity is ripe, we will find an opportunity to explain it to her."
Shang Yi also nodded and said, "That's all we have to do."
