Zhuang Han stays in the mansion every day, and reads "The Book of War" the most when he is bored. Regarding the problem of the navy being too weak, he thought of a way.

So after taking a bath at night, before going to bed, I wrote out my own method with a pen and passed it on to Wu Wenxuan.

Wu Wenxuan who received the letter looked at the contents of the letter and meditated in the tent for a long time, when he came to his senses, Yun'er was already waiting in the tent with pinellia soup.

"Well, you've worked hard, let's put it there." Wu Wenxuan said lightly.

"Yes." Yun'er bowed and stepped back, stepped out of the tent, and let out a long breath.

"Why are you sighing, do you have something on your mind?" Asked the blessing standing outside the tent.

Yun'er frowned, "Our lord misses the princess and becomes ill. Even after drinking pinellia soup every night, he still suffers from insomnia. Now that he has received the letter from the princess, he may have another sleepless night until dawn."

Blessing raised his hand and scratched his head, "Then what should we do? If not, let's ask Dr. Wang to prescribe sleep spray or something."

Yun'er glared at him, "Sleep? I've been with the prince for so long, where did I learn these crooked ways?"

Blessing smiled, and then sighed, "I'm afraid that only the concubine returns safely, and our prince's insomnia will be cured immediately."

The next day, Wu Wenxuan called together the generals of each battalion, and explained Zhuang Han's method of training sailors, so that everyone had an idea; then he ordered people to find some carpenters to remodel the ships. , the funds are insufficient, and the transformation of the ship may cost a lot of money. Even if the military salary in the military camp is used, it is just a drop in the bucket.

"If the funds are not enough, let's go to conquer." A general suggested.

Wu Wenxuan frowned. The people are the key to his uprising. If he went to the people's homes to convict, he would be accused of robbing the people of their money and wantonly disturbing the people.

Thinking of this, he quickly shook his head and said, "These people are of the greatest use to us, and we must not extort silver taels from them." After a slight pause, "Take out all the silver taels to rebuild the ship first, and we will talk about the rest later."

The generals had no choice but to nod their heads and retreated.

Wu Wenxuan didn't stay in the tent either. He went to the naval camp and was discussing specific matters with the admiral of the navy; Fang Jishui, the admiral of the navy, listened to Wu Wenxuan's strategy and was very satisfied with this method of remodeling the ship. Good idea, he couldn't help sighing, "Your lord, you are really well-educated, which is admirable. Fang, a martial artist, only thought about training them every day, and never thought about starting with ships."

Wu Wenxuan smiled, waved his hands and said, "Master Fang is absurd. I didn't come up with this idea, it was Hanhan who came up with it."

Fang Jishui was startled, "Oh, it's really admirable that a woman like the princess is so knowledgeable, and it's really a strange woman who disguises herself as a man to help you in your great cause."

After hearing this, Wu Wenxuan laughed even more, nodded and said, "It's not just strange, it's too strange, woman, um, woman..."

Fang Jishui also laughed, and the two of them were talking when they heard a commotion.

"I want to see your prince." A man shouted.

"Uncle, if you do this again, don't blame me for being rude!" A soldier from the navy battalion said with a frown.

Wu Wenxuan glanced there, and saw a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes, and several Xiaosi who came with him, and those Xiaosi were standing behind them carrying boxes.

Wu Wenxuan squinted his eyes and felt that the noisy middle-aged man looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he saw it. He ordered to pray, "Go and see who is making such a loud noise?"

"Yes, my lord."

Blessing stepped forward quickly, and reprimanded the middle-aged man, "Who is making such a loud noise here, don't you know this is an important military camp?"

"I am... hey... Xuan'er... Xuan'er." The middle-aged man saw Wu Wenxuan not far away waving his hands and shouted, "I am your uncle..."

Hearing this, Wu Wenxuan frowned, walked closer and took a closer look, but he couldn't recognize him for sure, so he ordered someone to bring this person into his tent.

"Xuan'er, you don't remember me? When you were young, you wanted to eat peaches, but because your mother had no money to buy them, you came to ask your uncle for it. My uncle bought you a basket of fresh peaches, remember?" Reminding Wu Wenxuan, "Another time, your mother was sick, and you knew to go to me for medical treatment at a very young age... I still remember one time you asked me about your father? You also said that you would marry your mother when you grow up , let her not be so lonely..."

Wu Wenxuan listened quietly, thoughts roiling in his mind, he suddenly understood, and couldn't help calling out, "Uncle, are you Uncle Li Gan?"

Li Qianhong nodded calmly, choking with sobs, "If I hadn't heard someone say it, my uncle wouldn't know you were here."

"Uncle!" Wu Wenxuan was also surprised, "Sit down quickly, uncle. Come and serve tea."

Chatting with Li Qian about the old days, it didn't come to an end until the dark night.

Li Gan is now a well-known wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River. This time he came, he not only brought two boxes of silver taels, but also said that if there is a need in the future, just ask, and he will definitely help Wu Wenxuan.

In the dead of night, looking at the two boxes of silver, Wu Wenxuan thought to himself, even the heavens are blessing, and now the cost of rebuilding the ship should not be a problem.

Lie down on the bed, touched the cold half of the bed, turned over, buried his face in Zhuang Han's quilt, took a deep breath, caught the faint smell of Zhuang Han on the quilt, Wu Wenxuan relaxed his body, and pressed the quilt on He hugged him tightly, and slowly closed his eyes.

Today is 22, and there are still more than 20 days until the fifteenth of next month. In any case, we must rush to save people before then.

……

Chu Shang was a little surprised that Zhuang Han had been well-behaved and obedient for so many days. Today, he found the maid sent by his side and asked some questions.

When Chu Shang heard that Zhuang Han would read books, write and draw in the study every day, he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious, and said in a deep voice, "What books do you read?"

"It's just an ordinary book, but one time, a servant accidentally saw that he was reading a book on military affairs."

"Really?" Chu Shang heard this, frowned and thought for a moment, "Apart from these, is there anything else unusual?"

The servant girl thought for a while and replied, "Recently, the Seventh Prince often went to the Zhuang Mansion to look for the second lady, and every time he asked us to retreat. Second Miss has always been used to him, so we just let him make fools of each other, and we didn't dare to come forward to disturb him, so it's no secret after all."

Hearing this, Chu Shang narrowed his eyes.He has never really believed that Zhuang Han would be so obedient. As for the seventh prince, Wu Wenxing, he once had a fight with the emperor because of Wu Wenxuan's rebellion, and he has lost his trust with the emperor; It would be bad if they teamed up and revealed something in secret; you must know that with a sensitive person like Zhuang Han, he would miss the opportunity to inquire about information from Wu Wenxing?

After dinner, Chu Shang went to the Zhuang Mansion, and it was already dark that day.

Chu Shang walked into the study room and saw Zhuang Han dressed in plain men's clothes, leaning on the bed and reading a book quietly, the soft candlelight hitting his face, for a moment it was so beautiful that people couldn't bear to disturb him.

Sensing that someone was watching him, Zhuang Han put down his book and looked up at the person who came in. Seeing Chu Shang's obsessed expression, he couldn't help but feel displeased, and said lightly, "I don't know what's the matter, my lord?"

Chu Shang came back to his senses, "It's nothing, I just came to see you."

Zhuang Han blinked and stood up, "If you have anything to say, you might as well just say it."

Chu Shang frowned, "It's fine, I heard that the Seventh Prince often comes to your place recently?"

Hearing this, Zhuang Han lowered his eyebrows, smiled lightly, and said bluntly, "If I had inquired about something from the seventh brother, I wouldn't be so unabashed; the seventh brother is playful, and no one is willing to accompany him, so Just come to me, if you think it's inappropriate, I'll tell him not to come."

I have to say that Zhuang Han is really smart. He cuts to the chase like this, which makes Chu Shang suspicious. Even if he doesn't want Wu Wenxing to come, he can only bite the bullet and let him come. Otherwise, he will admit that he doubts Zhuang Han. .

He smiled lightly, "There are some things that shouldn't be said, I don't hinder him from coming to you, but in front of outsiders, you are the second lady of the Zhuang Mansion, a woman, and it's somewhat inappropriate to be so intimate with a man; What's more, you are not his sister-in-law now, nor is he your seventh brother, you better understand."

After hearing this, Zhuang Han was taken aback for a moment, and then chuckled, "What your lord said is true, the girl knows."

The word "Minnv" bit very hard, and then Zhuang Han continued, "Although I will marry you next month, it is not appropriate for a lonely man and a widow to live in the same room. Come back."

Chu Shang choked back, remained silent with a cold face, and suddenly smiled for a while, "Zhuang Han, if that's the case, after you get married, then prepare to be a woman for the rest of your life! I will definitely treat you like a woman, be careful Take care, after all, you are from the Xuanya clan, you can conceive and have children, and you won't let your children die right after birth like Wu Wenxuan did."

Hearing these words, Zhuang Han felt thunderous.

Staring at Chu Shang in a daze, Chu Shang sneered and looked Zhuang Han up and down, "It's really rare for a man to conceive and give birth, but if you don't want to be regarded as a monster, you might as well be a woman, even if you are unwilling." , but also less gossip."

After finishing speaking, he turned and left, leaving Zhuang Han stunned.

For him, he is a man, but he has a strange system. If he didn't have the affection for Wu Wenxuan, he would have desperately wanted to be a real man, even if it would overthrow everything.

……

Time passed quickly, and this month passed in a blink of an eye. Seeing that the day of the big wedding was approaching, Zhuang Han's confinement was over. Under his father's persuasion, he agreed to choose something to marry.

Zhuang Han looked at the exquisite silks, satins, jewelry, and Fengguan Xiapei. He couldn't be happy at all, so he took a casual look and chose lazily.

Zhuang Guangyuan said, "Han'er, this is much better than what Daddy prepared for you. It's all tributes, all of which are high-quality exquisite silks and satins, jewelry. Look at these pearls, which are round and plump and bright in color. If you wear them on your body , will be more radiant."

With a smile on the corner of Zhuang Guangyuan's mouth, he showed Zhuang Han this and that; while the other aunts also looked at these items and discussed them with smiles on their faces.

Zhuang Han kept a cold face from the beginning to the end, didn't say much, just watched the other people chatting and laughing there; at this time the eldest lady came, and she yelled when she entered the door, "Oh, this is the second time I'm married. It’s a big show once; but, if it were me, I would have no face to go out, I know that you have robbed my sister’s husband, but those who don’t know think there are two Zhuang Hans in our dealer.”

Everyone was taken aback by Da Furen's sharp and harsh words, and the whole hall fell silent.

Zhuang Guangyuan coughed dryly, "Jianfang, what are you talking about? If you can't speak, don't say it!"

The lady's face was flushed with anger, she just stared at Zhuang Han blankly without saying a word.

Zhuang Han lowered his head and smiled lightly, then raised his head and looked at his aunt amusedly, he knew that the aunt was feeling aggrieved, it was all because of his elder sister, she was only a daughter, she thought she married a good family, but was divorced in the end up.

Thinking about it this way, he said lightly, "My aunt taught me that if I hadn't been forced, you thought I wanted to marry? I have studied the Four Books and Five Classics since I was a child, and I have also read those books about the three obediences and the four virtues. I am not so shameless as this."

After hearing this, everyone in the room was taken aback except for Zhuang Yan's mother. The eldest lady stared at him for a while, then slowed down her tone and said, "I'm not reminding you, this Chu Shang is not a good thing, you If you really marry in the past, you should be careful, and if something happens in the future, there will be a way out. Don't be like marrying that Wu Wenxuan, you won't get anything."

Hearing this, Zhuang Han smiled lightly, turned around and bowed to his father without saying a word, and left the hall.

……

At the same time, Wu Wenxing sent someone to secretly investigate Chu Shang, but was caught by Chu Shang.

Not only did he deal with the person who investigated him, but he went straight to Wu Wenxing after the court, and asked him to give an explanation.

Poor Wu Wenxing is only 16 years old, and he has been pampered and protected all the time, so he can't bear this situation all of a sudden.

Seeing that the person he sent had now turned into a head, he pretended to be calm and said, "Chu Shang, what are you doing? Why are you bringing a dead head to my house in broad daylight?"

"May I ask the little prince if he knows this person?" Chu Shang's lingering eyes swept towards him.

Wu Wenxing looked into his eyes, and then at the head in front of him, showing a look of panic. He said angrily, "How could this king know this person?" There was an uncontrollable tremor in his voice.

"Hmph, but this man said that he was ordered by you to investigate me secretly, and because I found out, he rectified the law on the spot." Chu Shang stood where he was, with a hostile expression on his face, without bowing, and questioned Wu Wenxing just like that.

Hearing this, Wu Wenxing became even more flustered, and said angrily, "Don't slander me, you surnamed Chu, why did I send someone to check you?" Just tell my brother, saying that you slandered me and intended to hurt me; I will let my brother cut your official position and execute you on the spot!"

"My little prince is serious. Today I just came to ask if this person is from your family. If not, I will go back." Chu Shang smiled lightly, "However, I would like to advise you, little prince, that some things are wrong. It's up to you, or don't worry about it, just be your prince honestly; otherwise, if something happens in the future, I won't be able to explain to the emperor." After speaking, he shook his sleeves and left with a group of people.

Wu Wenxing watched Chu Shang leave, and then turned around to see that he hadn't taken the head away. He let out an "ah" in shock, and then said angrily, "Come here, take this head off for me!"

After the servants took the head off, Wu Wenxing's face turned pale with fright, and he was panting heavily, thinking about Chu Shang's posture and threatening words, and also thinking that he had lost trust in front of his elder brother, and his third brother was far away. Jiangnan, there is no one in this capital who can protect him, so he burst into tears immediately.

……

A group of people in the Zhuang mansion were chatting passionately about Zhuang Han's dowry and so on. At this time, they saw Chu Shang angrily leading some people into the mansion, and went straight to Zhuang Han's place.

They all held their breath in fright, at this time Zhuang Han was about to take a rest, Qian An stopped Chu Shang at the door and said, "Master Chu, the master wants to..."

"Take him down!" Chu Shang waved his hand, and the two guards pulled out their sabers and pressed Qi'an to the ground.

The door was kicked open suddenly, Zhuang Han was taken aback, but seeing Chu Shang's face was extremely ugly.

With a "slap", Zhuang Han didn't react, so he was slapped, and the corner of his mouth was bleeding immediately.

Zhuang Han froze for a moment, before he could speak, he slapped him again, which directly blinded him.

"Don't think that just because I like you, you dare not touch you!" Chu Shang grabbed Zhuang Han's front angrily and said angrily, "I treat you so well, how could you secretly send someone to investigate me behind my back? Secretly tip off that dog thief Wu Wenxuan."

Zhuang Han looked coldly at Chu Shang who was almost crazy, and didn't say a word.

"Zhuang Han, I warned you, don't blame me for being rude!" Chu Shang looked at Zhuang Han and gritted his teeth.

Zhuang Guangyuan rushed here with a group of people in a hurry. He was startled when he saw this scene, and then hurriedly said, "Shang'er, why is this? Han'er..."

"Arrest them all!" Chu Shang interrupted Zhuang Guangyuan's words, and ordered, "No one from Zhuang's mansion will be kept, and all of them will be detained."

"Yes."

All of a sudden, the guards pulled out the sabers around their waists with a swipe, and everyone was so frightened that they all took half a step back, not daring to breathe.

Zhuang Han looked at all this coldly, Chu Shang let go of him, snorted coldly, and ordered, "Come here, change the clothes for Madam, Madam and I will get married immediately!"

Hearing this, Zhuang Han's face immediately changed, and he gritted his teeth angrily, "You can't disrespect the decree, it says fifteen! You are disrespecting the emperor!"

As he said that, he was about to fight Chu Shang. Chu Shang took a knife and put it on Zhuang Guangyuan's neck, and said to Zhuang Han, "Whether it's a funeral or a happy event today, you can decide!" After saying that, he chopped off Zhuang Guangyuan's arm With a knife, he immediately screamed, and some timid ones cried out in fright.

Zhuang Han's forced face turned green and white, gritted his teeth, glared at Chu Shang angrily, pointed at him, and said, "Now, immediately send the imperial doctor to heal my father, and then release the people in the Zhuang family. I will follow you immediately." Get married! If not..." He snatched the knife from a guard beside him, put it on his neck and threatened, "I will kill myself in front of you!"

At this moment, Chu Shang didn't feel any pity, so he swung a knife and chopped off one of Zhuang Han's younger brothers. The younger brother screamed in horror, "Sister, second sister..."

Chu Shang said coldly, "If you die, I'll let them be buried with you. At worst, I, Chu Shang, will attend the funeral today!"

"You..." The knife in his hand dropped, and Zhuang Han looked at Chu Shang with red eyes.

Chu Shang ordered people to take everyone down, and then ordered someone to invite an imperial doctor to treat them; when there were only the two of them left in the room, Chu Shang approached Zhuang Han, raised his hand to stroke his face and said, "I I warned you a long time ago, but you still don't listen, it's no wonder I'm here!" He pinched his chin and kissed his lips forcefully.

Zhuang Han took a bite of him, pushed him away violently, wiped the blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth, and looked coldly at the person in front of him.

Chu Shang also wiped his bitten lips, and shouted, "Come here, change your wife's makeup!" After speaking, he turned and wanted to leave.

"Wait." Zhuang Han stopped him, "Where's Xiao Anzi? What did you do to him?"

"Don't worry, you and I have a happy event. I don't want to kill people yet, but if you don't follow, I won't know."

"I'm from, I will listen to you in everything, let Xiao Anzi serve me!" Zhuang Han said, "You also know that I am a man, and I am not used to being served by women to bathe and change clothes."

"it is good."

……

There are people coming and going in the Zhuang mansion, it is very lively.Outsiders looked like a happy event was going to be held, but only the people in the mansion knew that this happy event was not at all happy.

The mansion was full of guarding soldiers, as if the people in the room were not the future Mrs. Chu, but imprisoned prisoners.

After bathing, Zhuang Han was waited on to dress up, his hair was arranged in a woman's style, and he was decorated with jewelry and headgear. He was also painted with rouge and gouache, eyebrows and lipstick.

Taking the Fengguanxia Necklace, Zhuang Han looked at the beautiful Fengguanxia Necklace, stroked it lightly, "It's really exquisite." Then he turned his head and asked Qi'an, "Xiao Anzi, such a beautiful bridal outfit, even though I am a man, I can't wear it on the bed. It shouldn't be ugly, right?"

"Master..." Qi'an, whose nose was bruised and face swollen from the beating, yelled, choked up and could no longer speak.

"Changing clothes for me." Zhuang Han said lightly.

But seeing a gorgeous woman standing up and being waited on by someone to put on a gown and an evening gown, Zhuang Han turned around and sighed, "It fits well."

The maids stared blankly, thinking to themselves, this second young lady of the Zhuang family is so glamorous.

But Qi'an looked at it with tears in his eyes, with a mournful face, and didn't say a word.

Seeing him like this, Zhuang Han smiled lightly and asked, "Little Anzi, don't I look good in this red dress?"

Qi'an wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, bit his lips and nodded, "Master... looks good... very good..."

Zhuang Han let out a long breath, and said flatly, "It's good to look good... a bride should look good..."

Qi'an covered his mouth, and it took a lot of effort to hold back the tears.Zhuang Yan, who was standing outside the door, also had tears in her eyes witnessing all this, and her fists were secretly clenched into fists in her sleeves.

At this time, a bride came and called out, "The auspicious time has come, the bride is getting on the sedan chair, get on the sedan chair..."

Qi'an took the red hijab, covered Zhuang Han, and helped him out the door.

Sitting in the bridal sedan chair, Zhuang Han touched the written test in his sleeve, his eyes were full of coldness.

Chu Shang was waiting for the arrival of the bridal sedan chair at the General's Mansion, when he saw his father rushing up to greet him, calling out, "Father."

"Nie Zi! I won't be at the house for a few days, why are you so crazy?" Chu Huai scolded angrily.

Chu Shang frowned, "Father, you have business to do, and my son didn't notify you."

Chu Huai was furious, pointed at him and said, "You...you tell me to stop these people immediately." Then he tore off the big red lantern.

Just as Chu Shang was about to say something, he heard the sound of a suona horn and an announcement from outside, "The bride has arrived, and the groom is getting married..."

Chu Shang looked at his father and said, "Father, at this juncture, you don't want to be ashamed, do you?"

Chu Huai was out of breath, but there was nothing he could do, so he sighed heavily and let out an "ah".

Mrs. Chu came out to persuade, but in the end she had no choice but to agree.

First bow to heaven and earth, second to high hall...

In this joyous atmosphere, no one saw the murderous intent of the calm Zhuang Han, and no one knew what he was thinking under his calm appearance.
