    "Name the child! You left in a hurry this time and didn't give the child a name in advance." Yu Ren then remembered that he had forgotten such an important event.  But it doesn't matter. In fact, he has already named his child in his heart.  "Just call her Yu Kuai! I hope that our child will grow up and live happily every day." Zhao Rui frowned, "I can only use a nickname, and another one.  Name me!" Yu Ren had a headache.  You know, naming is something that requires a lot of knowledge.  If it were in modern times, it would be okay to choose any one by yourself, but this was in the Ming Dynasty.  He is a person of status, and the child's grandfather is the leader of the Donglin Party. In the future, the people this child will come into contact with will definitely be talented people who have read poetry and books. If he chooses a name casually, if everything goes wrong, then won't he be the same in the future?  Let your son make other people laugh.  With this thought, Yu Ren couldn't help but feel troubled.  When Zhao Peng saw him, he hurried up.  The old man gave the child a name a few days ago, but I was afraid that you wouldn't use it, so I didn't say it.  When Yu Ren heard that Zhao Nanxing actually named the child, of course it was the best thing.  You know, Zhao Nanxing was able to become the leader of the Donglin Party and the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the knowledge in books goes without saying.  "Tell me quickly." Zhao Peng then hurriedly said, "The old man said that you have too much murderous aura, so you have to give your child a name that can bear your murderous aura. The old man said that water is soft and strong, so it is called Yu.  Miao is the best." Yu Ren said, "Well, the old man is more knowledgeable. Let's call him Yu Fiao!" Zhao Rui glared at him, "It's Yu Miao." Yu Ren laughed.  , Yu Miao, Yu Miao. I asked him why he cried when I hugged him just now! It¡¯s because I have too much murderous intent! Well, it¡¯s his grandpa who thought it through.  Ren waved his hand.  "Let's go to the city first." Zhao Peng couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he heard that Yu Ren was going to the city again.  "The old man specifically asked me to send my little sister back to my hometown. I will go back soon. Will the old man be unhappy?" Yu Ren reached out and patted Zhao Peng on the shoulder.  "Don't worry, second brother. Why did the old man send Ruirui back to his hometown? Why don't you worry about the Jurchens breaking through and coming to Beijing? Don't worry. I promise, the Jurchens can't attack. Besides, even if they do attack,  Is Gaoyi safer than the capital? I don¡¯t think so. Who are the Jurchens? They are just like their cattle and sheep in their eyes.  , how could they give up such a good robbery opportunity? By then, a small city like Gaoyi would definitely be captured by them, and the capital city was so high that the Jurchens might not be able to capture it. Therefore, no matter how you analyze it.  , the capital is safer than Gaoyi, not to mention that Ruirui has just given birth a few days ago, and it is really not suitable for this bumpy journey." Zhao Peng heard what Yu Ren said was reasonable, and did not object anymore.  Return to your residence in the capital.  This is a small courtyard that Yu Ren bought for Zhao Rui before going to Liaodong. Although it is not big, it is not too small either. There are more than a dozen main rooms and side rooms.  When Yu Ren came back here, he felt like he was back home.  Although everyone is nervous and always worried about when the Jurchens will come here.  But Yu Ren knew that the Jurchens would not come again in the short term.  Because they are causing more and more trouble for them in the Zhenjiang area.  Nurhaci no longer dared to come out in full force and head east without any scruples like before.  And if it were just a small group of Jurchens, Yu Ren believed that they would not be able to break through Shanhaiguan.  Yu Ren ordered his servants to order a table of food and drinks in the restaurant, and accompanied Zhao Peng to drink in the house.  The two drank and chatted.  When Zhao Peng asked about what happened to Yu Ren after he left the capital, Yu Ren simply spoke in an understatement.  He only said that after going to sea, he met Mao Wenlong at sea who was about to attack Zhenjiang Fort.  So I followed them to Zhenjiang.  Afterwards, Mao Wenlong captured Zhenjiang Fort, and they followed and helped there for some days.  The situation in Zhenjiang Fort has stabilized recently, and he was thinking about Zhao Rui and his children again, so he said goodbye to Mao Wenlong and returned.  Zhao Peng didn't care when he heard what Yu Ren said, thinking that Yu Ren was just helping Mao Wenlong.  After drinking a few drinks, Zhao Peng couldn't help but sigh.  "If I had known that Zhenjiang Fort was so easy to obtain, I should have persuaded the old man to help you recruit a team of troops from the Ministry of War. In this way, with your martial arts skills, this unparalleled contribution will definitely belong to our family." Yu Ren listened to Zhao  When Peng said this, he just smiled indifferently and did not tell him the truth.  It's not that he doesn't trust Zhao Peng. In his opinion, Zhao Peng's vision is too short-sighted and his thinking is too limited, and he is not suitable for?Discuss the world¡¯s plans with him.  Zhao Penghui misunderstood the meaning of Yu Ren's smile and thought that he disdained this credit, so he quickly said, "Brother-in-law! You must not underestimate this credit. Although Zhenjiang Fort is a small place, it affects the entire Liaodong  The overall situation. When the old man and the others were discussing the size of Mao Wenlong's achievements, I heard Ye Shoufu say on the spot, Mao Wenlong's great achievements this time were far greater than your previous achievements in Shandong!  Ye Shoufu made the decision on the spot to promote him to the rank of commander-in-chief. " At this point, Zhao Peng couldn't help but sigh again.  "This time, the old Mao family has a special character. Alas, it's a pity that our family is not so lucky!" Yu Ren didn't want to explain anything to his brother-in-law, but just listened to him sighing with regret.  He couldn't help but ask his entourage to take out a small box from his baggage, then opened it and gave it to Zhao Peng.  Zhao Peng saw a copper seal in the box, picked it up and looked at it, and couldn't help but be so surprised that he couldn't help but open his mouth from ear to ear.  "Jiangdong Commandery Seal!" Although Zhao Peng's official position is not high, his father is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and the appointment and dismissal of all officials must go through his hands. This Zhao Peng has heard and seen, and he naturally knows these seals and ribbons.  Seeing that Zhao Peng recognized the origin of this seal, Yu Ren just nodded slightly.  Then he patted Zhao Peng's shoulder gently.  "False fame is useless, and it will easily lead to trouble! Remember, you didn't see anything just now. This matter must be kept strictly confidential and cannot be mentioned to anyone, especially in front of the old man. Otherwise, with the old man's upright attitude,  Personality will inevitably cause a lot of trouble, and it might ruin my big event." Zhao Peng nodded quickly, and his admiration for his brother-in-law suddenly reached its peak. In his eyes,  Yu Ren is simply a god rather than a human being.  Zhao Peng naturally kept what Yu Ren said in mind.  However, his understanding was that Yu Ren wanted to use Mao Wenlong's identity to gain his personal power in the Zhenjiang area.  After all, Yu Ren's background is still a pirate.  In fact, although Yu Ren also had this consideration, the main reason was that he did not want to be restrained by the court to avoid being harmed by Wei Zhongxian in the future.  Yu Ren looked at Zhao Peng's eyes and knew that he was wrong, but he was too lazy to explain.  After the two had dinner, Yu Ren asked Zhao Peng to lead the way to meet the old man Zhao Nanxing.  This is the first time Yu Ren has officially visited his father-in-law as a son-in-law.  Although he knew that Mr. Zhao would not appreciate his gift, he still chose two pieces of fine Korean wild ginseng and several pieces of fine sable skin.  In China, giving gifts sometimes does not necessarily have any other meaning. It is first of all a kind of etiquette, showing that you value the owner.  This habit has not changed since ancient times.  This time, Zhao Nanxing didn¡¯t treat Yu Ren as coldly as before, but he wasn¡¯t polite either.  Seeing Yu Ren following Zhao Peng, the old man just nodded lightly.  He said, "Here we come!" When Yu Ren heard this, he finally felt relieved.  You know, although Zhao Nanxing's attitude was not enthusiastic, his faint "Here he comes!" showed that he already regarded Yu Ren as a family member from the bottom of his heart, so he would not be too polite.  You must know that for this result, he and Zhao Rui put a lot of thought into it and put in a scene painstakingly, but in the end they still failed to succeed.  The reason why the old man took the initiative to lower his body this time was probably because of the current crisis in the capital. The old man had vague thoughts of martyrdom for his country.  And if he is really going to die, the person who worries him the most is his little daughter Zhao Rui.  Although Zhao Nanxing has always been very strict with Zhao Rui, from the bottom of his heart, he still loves her the most.  Seeing the impending disaster, Zhao Nanxing naturally no longer cared about those false reputations.  Only then could Yu Ren easily deal with his father-in-law.  Zhao Nanxing had spoken and turned around to walk towards the living room. Yu Ren quickly handed the things in his hands to the housekeeper and followed with Zhao Peng.  "What did you gain from your trip to Liaodong?" The old man sat in the middle, picked up a cup of tea on the table, and spoke without any politeness, naturally treating Yu Ren as his own child.  This completely calmed down Yu Ren's originally worried heart.  "It's not like I gained much, but when I arrived in Zhenjiang, I caught up with Mao Wenlong's attack on the city, and I helped out a little. The situation in Zhenjiang has been unstable since then, and it only got better recently. That's why I delayed my return to the capital until now."  Yu Ren said a few words lightly.  Zhao Nanxing glanced at Yu Ren with some surprise.  "Didn't they say that you were planning to go to Guangning? Why did you go to Zhenjiang again?" "At that time, we were planning to go to Guangning, but we were unlucky and were blown to the east by the strong wind. Later, we happened to meet each other.  Mao Wenlong went to sea to prepare for a sneak attack on Zhenjiang, so??We went together.  " Zhao Nanxing nodded and was about to ask him some details when a family member outside the door came to report that it was Grand Scholar Sun Chengzong who invited him. Zhao Nanxing glanced at Yu Ren and sighed. "You go back first!  The situation is currently unstable, and you and I should take care of the country's worries because of the emperor's kindness.  You go back and get Rui'er settled first. I'm afraid you won't see me after today.  " After saying that, Zhao Nanxing got up in a hurry and left.
