Chapter 23 Fu Ying Takes Power

The next morning, when Fu Ying woke up, Hou Dayong was still sleeping soundly. Fu Ying sat at the head of the bed and quietly looked at the sleeping Hou Dayong. Hou Dayong's sleeping woman was like a child, snoring when she was sleeping on the front, but when she was extremely dishonest when she was sleeping on the side, she always put one hand on her chest, put him back, and then stretched over again.

Fu Ying touched Hou Dayong's straight nose and panicking lips with her fingers, and murmured: "Is this my man?"

Fu Ying gently got off the bed and asked the maid Xiaolianzi to ask someone to cook some porridge and cook two salted duck eggs.

There are locust trees and several osmanthus trees in the yard for decades. The air in the morning was fresh, and Fu Ying just kicked her legs and walked around the yard casually, feeling a little painful in her lower body. Thinking of the madness last night, Fu Ying seemed to be still in a dream.

After Hou Dayong woke up, he saw that Fu Ying was not in the house, so he got out of bed and came to the yard.

"Xiaoying, get up so early."

"You have gotten up too. I have been in the army for too long. I am used to getting up early every day and not exercising in the morning, and it is not comfortable for the whole day."

Fu Ying stood under the tree and watched Hou Dayong do strange movements. Hou Dayong followed the old rules and performed various preparation activities, doing push-ups, handstands, squats, small steps, etc. in turn, and finally picked up the waves and practiced the five sword techniques of the He Family. Although it was winter, after Hou Dayong practiced all the events, his forehead was slightly sweating.

After the wedding night, Fu Ying saw that Hou Dayong was different from before, Fu Ying went into the house and took a handkerchief. After Hou Dayong finished practicing, she handed it to Hou Dayong.

Hou Dayong refused to accept it and said, "Please help me." Fu Ying carefully wiped Hou Dayong's sweat. Hou Dayong's healthy and clean male body, the smell of sweat that seemed to be there and not be any, made Fu Ying feel a little panicked.

After drinking the porridge, Hou Dayong told Fu Ying about the matter of Chunlan and Qiuju. In this era, it is common for men to have a group of wives and mothers, but it is not just an alien. Fu Ying's father and brother were like this. When Fu Ying heard Hou Dayong talk about Chunlan and Qiuju, he was a little unhappy and was silent for a while, and then said, "Hey, all men in the world are the same. I don't have high requirements, as long as you are good at it."

In modern society, when women encounter such a thing, their ultimate trick is to cry, make a fuss and hang themselves. Fu Ying is still very rational and accepts this fact without any storm.

Hou Dayong breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "You and my husband, we should work together in the future, and we will not distinguish between each other." He also said, "Chunlan and Qiuju are both poor women. As my wife, you must treat them well. I thank them here." After Hou Dayong finished speaking, he bowed deeply. Fu Ying said quietly, "You are so nice to them."

After Fu Ying agreed, Chunlan Qiuju came to the main courtyard to meet Fu Ying. Fu Ying was very kind to them, but he was also lukewarm. Chunlan Qiuju felt a little relieved when she saw that Fu Ying was a well-educated and polite person.

The day after Hou Dayong returned to Zhengzhou, Meng Shu's caravan finally returned to Zhengzhou. The caravan business was very successful this time. All the goods brought were sold out and they bought tea, silk and other items needed in the north. Hou Dayong handed all the goods to Fu Gong and transported them from Fu Gong to various stores in Fujia Iron Shop. In order to show the reward, Hou Dayong specially invited Meng Shu and Wu Erlang and gave them generous red envelopes.

After the banquet, Wu Erlang went back to rest, and Hou Dayong specifically kept Meng Shu.

Meng Shu took out a picture from his arms and said, "This is a topographic map along the way that was drawn according to the requirements of the defense envoy."

Before Meng Shu traveled south, Hou Dayong assigned him the task of drawing pictures. Two sergeants from the Lion Camp had specialized in drawing terrain maps. Along the way, they both drew all the terrain passing on on the map.

Hou Dayong looked at this picture carefully and finally said, "This picture is very good. Meng Lang has worked hard for this trip. What do you think of Wu Erlang?"

Meng Shu said: "Wu Erlang was born into a private salt dealer, but he was righteous and had great martial arts skills. He was given three points of weakness in the world. This person played a crucial role in the caravan."

Hou Dayong said: "This trip is of great significance. It is not about how much money you make. The most important thing is to contact a large number of merchants, familiarize themselves with the route and open up the business route. Menglang made an indelible contribution."

Meng Shu said: "After I came back, I heard that the defensive commander got married. I brought some good silk from Hangzhou and gave it to Mrs. Zun."

After Hou Dayong returned home, he asked someone to divide the silk into three parts, one portion of Fu Ying, Chunlan and Qiu chrysanthemum.

Fu Ying touched the silk and said, "It's really a good Wu Ling, the price must be very expensive." Fu Ying admired the clothes for a while, and then put the silk aside. Hou Dayong noticed this detail. Thinking of Hou Dayong buying a cloth for Chunlan and Qiuju in Cangzhou, the two women were very happy. But Fu Ying treated the expensive Wu Ling as an ordinary thing. Hou Datong thought to himself: "It seems that the women of wealthy families are indeed different from the children of ordinary families."

Fu Ying opened the box, took out a few books from the box, and said, "That day in Cizhou, I saw Langjun reading the "Taiyin Jing". I guess Langjun is a book lover. I was in Daming Mansion and I bought a few books. I wonder if Langjun likes it."

Among the books collected by Fu Ying are mainly various military books such as "The Art of War", as well as historical "Dayan Calendar", medical books "Qianjin Fang", "Chaoye Qianzai", and agricultural books "Qimin Yaoshu". When Hou Dayong saw such a complete range of books, he must have spent a lot of effort to collect them. He was moved and said, "Xiaoying has really put a lot of effort into it. I have to read so many books slowly."

Hou Dayong and Fu Ying had contacted her many times before they got married, especially in Cizhou. Fu Ying calmly left clues, which allowed Hou Dayong to quickly find her. At that time, Hou Dayong and Zhang Xun admired Fu Ying's psychological qualities quite well.

Hou Dayong is now mainly focused on handling government affairs and training the army, and all business is left to Fu Gong alone. Hou Dayong knows that Fu Gong is sincere, but his power is too great. If there is no constraint, there is no guarantee that there will be no changes in the future, so Hou Dayong wants to find a suitable person to restrict him. After getting married, Hou Dayong wanted Fu Ying to secretly take charge of the business affairs of the Hou family. However, Fu Ying was only nineteen years old and was still young, and it is still unknown whether she could manage such a big thing. After thinking about it, Hou Dayong finally decided to let Fu Ying intervene in the management and become familiar with various businesses as soon as possible.

Hou Dayong took Fu Ying to the study room, took out some confidential account books, and said, "Xiaoying, there is one thing you are willing to do."

When Fu Ying heard Hou Dayong speak solemnly, she said, "If you don't mind me being clumsy, please give me instructions if you have anything to do, don't be polite."

Hou Dayong then told Fu Ying in detail about various properties in Cangzhou, Fujia Iron Shop and Meng Shu caravan. Fu Ying listened very carefully and asked Hou Dayong if he didn't understand.

After reading all the accounts, Fu Ying said: "I thought my husband came back from the north and didn't have much money. I also brought some private money from the Fu family to subsidize the family. Who knew that my husband was a monument."

Hou Dayong said: "I have too many things to do, and I can't control these things, but it's not appropriate to leave them to an outsider."

Fu Ying was surprised and said, "Why did your husband ask me to take care of these matters? I don't understand very much."

"You don't have to worry about specific things. Look at the general ledger every month to play a supervisory role. In addition, you must get your consent to major things. Don't be afraid, everything is learned. If you don't understand, you can ask me if you don't understand, but you must remember to pay less attention to specific things, so as not to make Fu Gong cringe his hands and feet."

"I am a little girl, can I manage it?"

"I think you can do it. There is a saying that women are inferior to men, so you can do it."

After receiving encouragement from Hou Dayong, Fu Ying accepted this arduous task. After the conversation, Hou Dayong hugged Fu Ying, kissed her in the face, and said, "You will take office tomorrow, and we will exercise tonight."

Fu Ying didn't react at the first time, and when she woke up, she was already picked up by Hou Dayong in the waist.
