With his face pressed against Shangguan Wan'er's warm chest, and listening to her whispers of infinite pity in his ears, Tang Song felt as if he was surrounded by a piece of warm water. Since yesterday's assassination, he was gradually feeling overwhelmed by his deep thoughts. Calm down slowly.
Although this feeling is really wonderful, the posture of the two at this time makes Karamatsu a little uncomfortable. The roles are completely reversed! .
Shangguan¡¯s maternal nature bloomed in an instant, which not only calmed Karamatsu¡¯s tense nerves, but also inspired the toughness and pride in a man¡¯s bones. Although he occasionally shows a depressed mood, his nature is to be high-spirited and forge ahead, becoming stronger the more frustrated he becomes.
After rubbing his face against Shangguan Wan'er's plump and warm chest for a few times, Tang Song chuckled, "What kind of posture is this? Wan'er, you really treat me like a child."
Perhaps it was because of the out-of-control maternal instinct that Shangguan Wan'er stood up again, but her hands were on Tang Song's ears as she spoke, "If you were really my son, I would never let go even if I broke your legs." If you get involved in the political affairs of the court, you can become a landscape man of Qingdu who travels all over the world. You can boat on the five lakes, enjoy the mountains and rivers, write thousands of poems and drink thousands of wines. That is no better than being beaten and killed every day. It's a pity. You disobedient son never listened to my advice."
Last year, before the eight elders of the fourth family came to Beijing, they came with the power of a tiger to swallow up thousands of miles. Tang Song, who refused to give up Qingxinzhuang, refused to make any concessions. At that time, Shangguan Wan'er said these words when she persuaded him to avoid the spotlight for a while, but she didn't expect that they would be used as a joke today.
As soon as she finished speaking, with her hand still holding Tang Song's ear, Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help laughing. This was a rare indulgent laugh from her. It sounded like pearls falling on a jade plate, crisp and joyful. .
At this moment, Tang Song's face no longer had the sly smile that he had when he was rubbing Shangguan Wan'er's chest. He grinned and said repeatedly: "My dear mother, I feel sorry for the child. Please be gentle." Lighter, lighter!"
When Tang Songzhen reached such a shameless stage, Shangguan Wan'er, who had lived in the palace for thirty years and had not much experience in getting along with men and women, couldn't stand it anymore and spat out, "You're in vain." He has such a great reputation among scholars and the public, yet he is such a shameless scoundrel."
¡° Let¡¯s look at Shangguan Wan¡¯er¡¯s appearance as a shy and angry little woman. Who can see her? Who could have imagined that she would have such a side? The more she behaved like this, the more shameless Tang Song became. He actually sat up and endured the pain, stretched out his uninjured left arm and hugged Shangguan Wan'er's. Pulling her waist towards her chest, she said with a sly smile on her face: "If I hadn't shamelessly scolded you many times when I was in the palace last year, how could a beauty like Wan'er be left on the couch by me? Come on and enjoy the joy of sex¡±
Watching Tang Song become more and more shameless to the point of no limit, Shangguan Wan'er finally couldn't stand it any longer. But before she could do anything, she heard several embarrassing coughs coming from the door.
At this moment, both of them became embarrassed. They looked at each other and quickly separated. Although Shangguan Wan'er was focusing on adjusting her clothes, Tang Song simply lay back on the couch again, grunting in pain.
As soon as the embarrassment started, Shangguan Wan'er was immediately laughed at by Tang Song's completely shameless look. She pursed her lips to suppress her smile and said in a deep voice: "Who?"
"Creak!" The door was pushed open, and Shuijing walked in, followed by Shangguan Jin who couldn't help laughing. "Ms. Zhang has been here a long time ago. When I opened the door to come in, I heard you talk about important things, so I didn't bother you, nor did I." Let me inform¡±
For example, no matter where Karamatsu is, his portal is always open to crystals. Anyone who has followed him for a little longer knows this.
But it was precisely because of this that it led to the embarrassment at this time. Since the door had already been pushed open, it goes without saying that Crystal heard everything the two said, and speculation about who ordered the assassination was unavoidable. Not to mention the following ** words.
If Shangguan Jin couldn't bear to listen to these dry coughs, he wouldn't have known As soon as he thought of this, Shangguan Wan'er, who was praised by the Holy God Emperor for being calm when facing important events, immediately blushed on her face. And Tang Song's groaning voice suddenly became louder. It seemed that his injury at this moment was a thousand times more painful than when he was stabbed yesterday.
Tang Song had already told Shangguan Wan'er about Crystal and her origins. Although the two had hardly met, Shangguan was no stranger to Crystal. It's just that at this moment when the two of them faced each other, they didn't know what to say. After coughing several times and waving his hand, Shangguan Jin, who was equally embarrassed, hurriedly backed out. This time, he closed the door tightly.
For a while, none of the three people in the room spoke, only Tang Song's humming voice came and went. After a moment of silence in the awkward atmosphere, Crystal was the first to speak. With real doubts on her beautiful face, she asked Shangguan Wan'er: "Youhow" Is it his mother?"
This question is shocking.At that time, Shangguan Wan'er's face was so red that she was almost bleeding. But then she and Karamatsu, whose humming stopped suddenly, looked at each other, and the two of them let out a long breath in unison.
Crystal is just a blank piece of paper. She actually didn¡¯t understand the words the two of them teased before!
This time, Tang Song was completely alive. Not only did his moans disappear, but he also sat up with gritted teeth. "That's a joke, don't take it seriously. Crystal, didn't I ask you to rest, why are you here again?"
"I can't sleep" Crystal naturally moved closer to Karamatsu, "Is it true that many people want to kill you?"
Crystal has always been calm and carefree, but at this moment, her face is extremely solemn, as if she is a little fairy who has fallen into the mortal world. Seeing her like this, Karamatsu frowned, "Who told you to listen to what I just said? These things will only dirty your ears. Don't worry, I'm here to protect you." After saying that, he stretched out his hand He went over and rubbed her hair lovingly.
Seeing that Tang Song's eyes, movements and words were all that of a brother loving his sister when facing the crystal, Shangguan Wan'er, who had grown up in the palace and was very open-minded about the matter, no longer had any grudges.
The crystal did not move, and Ren Tangsong ruffled her flowing long hair as he had done many times before, "Ihelp you."
Karamatsu was about to say something, but when he saw the serious look on Crystal's tight little face, he stopped talking and nodded with a smile: "Really, that's great! You can do whatever you want, whatever you want. They all help me¡±
At this time, there was another knock on the door, but it was the two imperial doctors who had examined Shangguan Ming and prescribed medicine, and then invited Shangguan Wan'er to return to the palace to recover.
"Are you leaving?" Tang Song's voice was normal, but Shangguan Wan'er could still hear the reluctance in it. While wearing a carved beard hat, he said: "This time I came to check on your injury on the order of His Majesty. These two adults from the Imperial Medical Office were also appointed by Your Majesty. Since I have seen that both you and Shangguan Ming are dead, Worry, it¡¯s time for me to return to the palace and resume my life.¡±
"It's rare that His Majesty still cares about my life and death"
"Presumptuous" Shangguan Wan'er took one look at the two imperial doctors and scolded Tang Song.
"I'll visit you again when I need something." After saying this, Shangguan Wan'er, who covered her face, led the two imperial doctors there.
After she left, Tang Song stopped joking and lay quietly on the couch for a while before calling Shangguan Jin in to write a letter.
"How do you write this?" Looking at Tang Song's and his own injured right arms, Shangguan Jin was about to go out and call for help.
Tang Song frowned, "That's all. Calculating the time, He Zhizhang should have heard the news. It won't be too late to write after he comes."
There are at least several letters to write this time. With his serious injury, he will definitely not be able to return to Yangzhou in a short time. Since then, Chen Yizhe, Lu Xiangxian, Chen Ziang and even the Yangzhou City Shipping Ambassador have sent letters and reports to try their best to contribute to the development of Hongwen Seal Society and Tongke Maintain a good external environment. At the same time, these political chaos in the court will inevitably have to be reported to them.
In addition, the more important thing is to write to Brother Shangguan. Since he has made a plan to fully expand to the north by taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he will need the support of Hongwen Seal Society and Tongke Hall.
The most important thing to do in the fastest possible time for this major event is the preparation of human and financial resources. Of the two, Tang Song is not worried about money. He has the support of the inner palace and a steady stream of income from the Yangzhou Shipping Department. Both of these are under the control of Shangguan Wan'er, so there is really nothing to worry about. Moreover, even if the scale of expansion is too large and the money allocated by the Yangzhou Ship Division is not enough, there is still Taiping, a big benefactor, who is waiting and looking forward to throwing money at Hongwen Seal Society to establish influence.
We are not worried about money, but we are really short on manpower.
Hongwen Yinshe in Jiangnan has just completed its layout and is about to embark on such a large-scale expansion. The shortage of manpower is an inevitable dilemma. According to common sense, it would be unwise for Karamatsu to do such a thing at this time, but the window period in front of him is too important because of the changing times. If he misses it at this time and wants to do the same thing later, he will not know how many twists and turns it will cause.
Since there was no choice at all, Karamatsu could only grit his teeth and endure the matter. There is no need to hesitate even if the manpower of the Hongwen Seal Society in Jiangnan is hollowed out due to excessive beatings, causing a shock. Fortunately, the dominant position of Hongwen Yinshe in Jiangnan has been established, and with the care of Qingyin Wenshe, whose interests are tied together, it should be able to survive this shock period smoothly and gradually recover.
Even so, the manpower is still insufficient. In this case, we have to look to Tongxuezi. There are some people here who have little interest in scientific research due to various reasons. They were removed when the Jiangnan Hongwen Seal Society was established. A large part, after all, there is still some left, and all can be withdrawn this time. If there is not enough?, if we mobilize again, one more is one.
But since then, the shortage of students in General Science School itself will inevitably intensify. How to solve this chain of problems requires thinking and explanation.
There are many things to explain and plan, so naturally there are many letters to write, which cannot be ghostwritten by outsiders. Manpower shortage is really Karamatsu's biggest problem at the moment, so much so that after he was injured, he couldn't even find anyone who could write letters for him.
While Karamatsu was depressed, Crystal quietly prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and tugged on Karamatsu's clothes with bright eyes.
To be honest, Karamatsu really didn't want Crystal to get involved in these things that were bound to involve intrigues, but there was no one available at the moment, and Crystal itself looked eager to try. In desperation, he could only dictate and write for Crystal. .
After finishing writing a letter, Tang Song took it and took a look. The paper was full of hairpin flowers and small regular script, which was pleasing to the eye. If we just talk about the beauty of the handwriting, I really don¡¯t know how much better than him.
I couldn¡¯t help but reached out and rubbed Jing Shuang¡¯s hair vigorously. Seeing him like this, Jing Jing¡¯s face showed a rare and fully bloomed smile, which was incomparably beautiful.
After that, one by one he talked and he wrote, and the little follower who used to always follow Karamatsu and tug at the corner of his clothes became a little secretary.
If it was the assassination incident that she experienced yesterday that strongly stimulated Crystal to begin to open her heart that had been closed for many years, then today's helpless move led Crystal into a new real world.
For Crystal, this is the first time in her life that she not only does not resist, but also actively pays attention to a certain aspect of the real world.
After being autistic for many years, her heart suddenly opened. Faced with the real world that she had been actively isolated from, Crystal was no more than a baby. The first things she came into contact with at this time would inevitably affect her life.
Small animals are accustomed to seeing the first thing they see after birth as their mother. People have similar habits. Specifically for Crystal, that is what she is exposed to now, which may mean that it will also become her mother in the years to come. What interests you most.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The crystal, which was previously regarded as the cleanest, was the first to come into contact after opening its heart, and it was the political battles and business expansion which were by no means clean. Is this accidental or inevitable? Nobody knows.
Halfway through the letter, He Zhizhang came after hearing the news. After inspecting the injury and telling the story of yesterday's assassination, Tang Song asked him to suspend all active contact with Jiangnan officials in Beijing. As for what they would do next, they were left to their own devices. Make your own decision to go. At least Karamatsu doesn't plan to do anything to add fuel to the flames.
Because both of them were seriously injured, especially Shangguan Ming, who could not move at all, Tang Song lived in the Zen room of Baima Temple to recuperate for a period of time. Little did he know what kind of shock his letter sent to Jiangnan caused by Hongwen Seal Society and General Science School.
The four Shangguan brothers, Yu Dongjun and others who stayed in Jiangnan to take care of these two foundations were almost paralyzed from exhaustion. The various branches of Hongwen Seal Society were rushed to mobilize personnel and urgent recruitment of personnel. Various loopholes and the matter of filling them made the headquarters The whole branch is exhausted. The shock of such a big movement in Hongwen Seal Society also aroused the attention of Jiangnan Shilin.
Almost at different times every day, literary elders from all over the world go to different branches to inquire about the cause of the matter. In addition, there are also many people from Qingyin Literary Society who come to inquire about the news. Just having to explain to so many people every day is enough to make people feel collapse. In the end, Shangguan Yu had an idea and published a supplement to "Qingyin Hongwen Bimonthly" to explain it, and then calmed down the commotion in Jiangnan Shilin.
I heard that this drastic change in personnel was because Hongwen Seal Society was preparing personnel for the comprehensive expansion of the Northland. Jiangnan Shilin, who had already experienced that Hongwen Seal Society blossomed almost overnight, besides lamenting "Shangguan Li"'s great ambition, courage, and financial resources , and the public sentiment was also excited with this news.
Because of the bimonthly publication of Qingyin Hongwen, today's Hongwen Publishing House has been closely tied to Qingyin Publishing House, and Qingyin, an unprecedented large publishing house, has swept away the elite of Jiangnan Shilin. For those who are already famous celebrities or young talents who think they are extraordinary, every expansion of Hongwen Seal Society also means that, at least they think it also means that their reputation will also expand accordingly. The good deeds are indeed what Jiangnan Shilin is happy to see.
A supplement made the Hongwen Seal Society, which was already popular in the south of the Yangtze River, gain a giant momentum out of thin air. This momentum, in turn, supported the Hongwen Seal Society and minimized the impact of personnel shocks, inadvertently achieving A virtuous cycle. The "supplement" published this time actually had such a great influence, and it also taught a vivid lesson to the initiator of the matter, Shangguan Yu and others. Let them truly understand what Karamatsu said about "guidance."What exactly does it mean to "conquer public opinion"?
It turns out that Hongwen Yinshe is not just a profitable merchant trade, its every move can attract people's hearts!
The staff of Hongwen Seal Society were so tired that they wanted to vomit blood. The Tongke New School in Anyi County was also excited. Whether they were transferred or mobilized students, they had long been impressed by the sudden and huge success of Hongwen Seal Society in Jiangnan. Irritated red eyes. You must know that this success was created by their former classmates and young master together.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Not counting the head office, which one of the heads of Hongwen Yinshe¡¯s branches in Jiangnan is not a senior who went to the General Science School? This is truly our family¡¯s foundation.
Those who were able to follow them all the way from Beijing to this place were students from small business backgrounds. Their desire to build a giant from scratch and their enthusiasm for participating in this process were far beyond the imagination of simple scholars. .
From the moment they were transferred or mobilized, they packed their bags and urged them to leave for the north every day. They clamored to follow the young master to carve a huge empire in the northern land, and to let the Hongwen Seal Society's shop signs float in Wuhan. "Qingyin Hongwen Bimonthly" should be placed on the desk of every scholar in the world over every state and city this week.
At this time, for these general scholars who were born in small business circles, their passion has been ignited. What they want is no longer fame, but a huge, shining Hongwen Seal Society. A business empire with golden characters.
The students were very excited, but Yu Dongjun and other leaders were non-stop. Arranging for these people to go north; appeasing those teachers who were angry at the sudden transfer of students; contacting Anyi County Magistrate Chen Zi'ang and Yangzhou Governor Lu Xiangxian to resolve emergency enrollment matters none of these were easy tasks.
With one goal and one letter, Tang Song¡¯s foundation in Jiangnan started an emergency mobilization from top to bottom. What a mess of words!
ps: Thank you to "Flying Snow Dancing in the Sky" for the reward, and thank you all for your votes. Although the number of book friends who voted is really not that many, I am still grateful.
It is an absolutely crazy decision for the author to update again after more than 200 days. The dismal performance of the book itself was already expected. I don¡¯t want to say too many words, this decision and action speak for themselves.
