Chapter 225 My family has a girl who has grown up!
Chapter 225 A daughter has grown up in my family!
George II looked gloomy: "The Portuguese Far East fleet was completely wiped out, and even your Far East governor was made a prisoner. Antonio, how can you still laugh?"
The large fertile land in Tianzhu was second, and England, which had colonized half of the world, also had even more vast fertile land in South and North America. However, Tianzhu's population of nearly 100 million resources was something that George II was unwilling to give up no matter what.
The 100 million Tianzhu people, who were not even human beings in the eyes of George II and the vast majority of British people, were one of the essential core components of Britain's rise.
It was an excellent livestock labor force, source of raw materials and a dumping ground for goods in the British Empire!
Absolutely no room for error!!!
When Noang V heard this, the faint smile on his face disappeared.
"Of course I understand, but Augustus, that country in the Far East, suddenly turned his attention to the ocean, and brutally defeated our combined fleet as soon as he took action, causing huge losses to the civilized country.
We must react, but judging from the battle report of the combined fleet, ordinary warships and artillery have no advantage at all against the high-level warriors of the Daqing people, so we must find a plan to deal with the new tactics of the Daqing people!"
"Antonio, although our Far East Fleet did fail, did you exaggerate the strength of that Far East country too much?"
"Humph... Augustus, that is a superpower with a population of 10 million, and they have an extremely large number of high-level warriors. His Excellency Pio of the Vatican and the Duke of Durrance in England, after encountering the enemy,
He was defeated in a very short period of time, and there was even a high possibility that Lord Bio was killed in battle!
Think about it! Although the Daqing people's sailing ships and artillery technology are just imitations of ours, if they maintain high-end force to suppress Europa, after a period of time... ten or twenty years at most, the Far Easterners' warships
It will drive right to our doorstep!
To recreate the 'Yellow Peril' of the past! And our descendants, and even ourselves, can only kneel on the ground in humiliation and lick their boots before we have a chance to survive..."
George II stared at Nohan V and finally nodded. Even after so many years, the name "Whip of God" still scares Europeans, and can even make many people change their expressions upon hearing it.
"Okay, Antonio, you've convinced me, so what's your plan?"
Nohan V was expressionless: "Augustus, don't treat Portugal as a blind man. In the past two years, at least a quarter of the battleships of the English fleet have been sent to the Far East, as well as the Netherlands and France.
Ji and Francis Fang are both taking action!"
"Yes, then... Antonio, what do you think?"
"What do you think? How many duke-level knights are you planning to send out this time? Will any holy weapons be used? Where are the priests? What does the Vatican say?"
A series of questions came out of Nohan V's mouth, but George II did not look unhappy at all. Instead, he broke the gloom on his face and raised the corner of his mouth with a smile.
Since the question was asked in such detail, Noang V's intention was obviously very clear!
The two briefly discussed the military configuration and marching strategy of the five-nation coalition for a while, and Noang V suddenly asked again:
"Why do I feel that there are only five of us, and our strength is still a bit weak? My people found out in Ludi, Daqing, that there was a small-scale battle between duke-level knights in a city of 100,000 people. It is said that nearly ten people took action.
And the winning side is the member of the Daqing Duke family named "Jia" who led the army to occupy Manila, Batavia and Xingzhou..."
"So what do you mean?"
"The furry bear in the Far East has never concealed its desire for land. Instead of letting these guys stare at us from behind, it is better to draw their attention to Daqing and kill two birds with one stone.
And Prussia, if these war madmen don't find something to do for them, I'm afraid that when we fight in the Far East, these madmen may surprise us later."
France, the only country not mentioned by Nohan V, was in a relatively declining state at this time, just before the emergence of Napoleon.
In addition, their last colony in Tianzhu was just captured by England last year. If you want France to send troops, returning that colony must be a prerequisite, and George II obviously does not intend to agree to this condition, so France is naturally excluded from this
Unplanned.
"There is also Fusang. Although this yellow-skinned monkey country has very average strength, its location is indeed the most suitable bridgehead for attacking Daqing.
They were forced to open the country by the Daqing people last year, dumping products and exempting Daqing merchants from tariffs. They must be very dissatisfied with the Daqing people at this time, not to mention that their largest silver mine is also coveted by the Daqing people, so there must be no problem in uniting them!
In this way we have the Eight-Nation Alliance! No matter how powerful Daqing in the Far East is, facing the most powerful alliance in the world like ours, it will eventually be destroyed!"
Noang V, who had always been relatively calm, couldn't help but feel a little excited at this time. Tianzhu Mogul and Daqing were both superpowers with a population of tens of millions.
What a huge and coveted piece of wealth that is!
"..."
The two exchanged many opinions on the division of interests after the war, and after basically reaching an agreement, the two kings took out the personal seals they carried with them, and began to write under the care of the tall and plump maid who did not know when they appeared next to them.
letter.
Although the two have initially reached an agreement, mobilizing the army and the top domestic experts still requires a lot of effort and is complicated.
But there is still time...
…
In Rongqing Hall, the night was getting darker, but the atmosphere in the hall was still warm. Xiangyun and Yingchun were sitting on both sides of Jia Lian, chattering as if they had endless things to say.
Daiyu and Tanchun on the other side were also whispering: "Sister Yingchun, just pay it back. Xiangyun talks too much. I can't stop writing ink when I sleep at night. Fortunately now..."
"Hehe~ Who said it wasn't the case? Who would have thought that such a nice girl like ours could be such a talkative person!"
"hey-hey…"
Suddenly, the old lady sitting on the high seat and little Jia Hong, who was sitting in Jia Lian's arms and listening to her father and aunts talking and laughing with great interest, suddenly raised their heads at the same time and let out a big yawn~
Seeing this, Wang Xifeng quickly looked at the sky outside, then turned to comfort the old lady:
"Ancestor, it's late at night, it's time to rest..."
"Well, I'm old~ Let's go and have a rest. You all should go back to your respective courtyards to tidy up and have a rest early~
Although this candle is bright, it is not as bright as the day..."
"yes!"
Everyone in the hall spoke in response, and after sending the old lady to the inner room first, the whole family began to disperse under the care of the servants and women, and went back to their respective courtyards.
"..."
Daiyu is eleven years old this year. She has not lived in the Bi Shaqi in Rongqing Hall since last year. The old lady took the initiative and arranged a small courtyard behind Rongqing Hall for Daiyu to live.
Because there were two green bamboo groves in the small courtyard, which blocked part of the southern courtyard wall, Jia Lian secretly named Daiyu's small courtyard "Xiaoxiang Pavilion"!
But just when he thought about Daiyu's "previous life", Xiaoxiangguan, and felt that the name was unlucky, and wanted to change it, he didn't expect Daiyu to say that the name "Xiaoxiangguan" suited his own wishes...
Although Jia Lian was a little hesitant, he finally felt that it had little to do with it. After all, the plot of "this life" had already happened to his grandma's house. Even Xiao Linyong was alive, not to mention Daiyu.
The Xiaoxiang Pavilion is generally laid out as a quadrangle. Daiyu returned to her Xiaoxiang Pavilion, accompanied by her grandmother, Zijuan and other maids and women.
After crossing the threshold and going around the screen wall, I saw the most conspicuous small tree in the courtyard. The green tree was about half a head taller than Daiyu. The crisp greenery always makes people sigh.
When I saw it, I felt relaxed and happy.
Even though it was already night, under the light of the lanterns hanging on the eaves of the courtyard, this half-sized [Elf Tree] was still extremely conspicuous.
As soon as Daiyu saw this [Elf Tree], she felt an extremely fresh breath rushing towards her face, just like the natural fragrance in the woods after the rain. She knew this was not an illusion.
After Yuanchun got married, she also invited the sisters from Jia Mansion to the Li Mansion for a small gathering. The [Elf Tree] in her courtyard, which had grown into a towering tree, could emit the same aura in a much larger area than her own small tree.
.
It is said that it is regarded as a treasure by everyone in the Li family...
This [Elven Tree] is naturally the work of Jia Lian. Not only Daiyu, this extremely precious "sacred tree" in the world of Red Mansions has become the standard dowry for all the sisters in the Jia family!
Many people who have a close relationship with the Li family, or simply other children of the Li family themselves, have turned their attention after experiencing or hearing about the magical effect of the [Elf Tree] in Yuanchun Courtyard in assisting extraordinary practice and health preservation.
He looked at the daughters of Rongguo Mansion who had not yet left the cabinet.
Later, the news somehow started to spread to the female relatives of other powerful families.
Nowadays, even if the girls in Rongguo Mansion are still young, they often have female relatives from high-ranking and powerful families coming to visit, whispering to the old lady, or even asking Wang Xifeng for news.
Even the concubines like Tanchun and Xichun, as well as Xiangyun, a daughter who lost her mother and father, and the legitimate son of a high family tried to inquire about marriage.
Although the girls are not yet old enough, they might as well get married first!
Xiangyun is treated like this, not to mention that her father is now considered an important Daiyu in the Ministry of Etiquette.
After there were more caring people outside, it was inevitable that some rumors would reach the ears of the sisters, making them shy but also secretly looking forward to it.
Just when Daiyu reached out to touch the emerald leaves of the [Elf Tree] with a trace of sadness, a brown-yellow beast shadow slightly taller than a calf quietly approached behind Daiyu.
Zicuckoo, who was standing on one side, saw it, but turned a blind eye. The corner of her mouth even curled up, as if she was expecting something.
Sure enough, Daiyu didn't look back and suddenly shouted softly: "Xiaohua! You are naughty again."
Behind her, the two-year-old earth dragon "Burning Flower", which is slightly larger than a calf, well... was originally named, but Daiyu later felt it didn't sound good, so she kept calling it "Little Flower".
These dragons, which are getting bigger and bigger and more lively and active, are also one of the reasons why the girls live in separate houses.
"Little Flower" rubs her head on Daiyu's arms and shoulders with great enthusiasm, and from time to time she licks Daiyu's pretty face with her tongue like a puppy, but this move is always blocked by Daiyu in time.
Daiyu's slender arms were able to firmly hold down the little Di Xinglong at this time, which showed that her body was no longer the "slightly panting, weak and frail" girl in the original timeline.
It turns out that Xiao Daiyu officially started to practice god-refining with Jia Lian a year ago. Although she is still in the first stage of god-refining, her body has become much stronger with the god-refining practice. In a few years, she might not be able to
It can really achieve the operation of "uprooting willows and willows"!
Daiyu has a rare light attribute, and she has always carried Jia Lian's meeting gift [Lux's Flashing Staff] with her.
She also used the flash technique attached to this piece of equipment with great proficiency, but she had never actually used it against an enemy.
After playing with "Little Flower" for a while, Daiyu went to take a bath in the ear room at the urging of her grandma. After coming out, she waited for the maids to wipe her wet long hair dry with many towels, and then fell asleep.
On the other side, Jia Lian carried little Jia Hong and Wang Xifeng back to the Rongxi Hall. He handed the little one to the nanny who was serving him and let her rest. Then he took Wang Xifeng's little hand and went to the courtyard over there.
At first, Wang Xifeng was reluctant to let Jia Lian hold her hand outside, but she couldn't bear it and at this moment she remembered:
"Hold your hand and grow old together..."
Wang Xifeng's pretty face turned red with embarrassment, and she recited a few words silently. Feeling the righteousness surging in her chest and abdomen, she couldn't help but feel a little unreal in her heart.
However, when I think about my own enlightenment statement, "A woman should have an appearance that pleases her," it seems very outrageous. Perhaps this is the result of women practicing Haoran's righteousness.
While Wang Xifeng's thoughts were churning, her little hand unknowingly intertwined with the fingers of Jia Lian's left hand and held them tightly...
When she came back to her senses, a shy smile appeared on Mingyan's unparalleled face. Jia Lian looked sideways at her, and saw the plump figure in front of her body, and what looked like a round peach under her waistline...
What is beauty in the world?
But that's all.
Back in the courtyard, Wang Xifeng asked Jia Lian to take a bath and clean himself at the same time.
By the way, he was pulled by Jia Lian to perform a fish-dragon dance, which made the whole floor of the wing that was used as a bathroom soaked through.
At this moment, Wang Xifeng, who was sitting in front of the dressing table and being helped by several maids to wipe her long hair, had a beautiful face that was nourished and moisturized and smooth, her eyebrows were like the daisies of distant mountains, her eyes were like the horizontal waves of autumn water, and her lips were glossy and moist.
Jia Lian looked at Wang Xifeng's enchanting profile so close at hand, and couldn't help but feel a little ready to make a move again. Wang Xifeng caught sight of Jia Lian's expression from the corner of her eye, and her heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Fortunately, Feng'er and Jin Hui beside her encouraged her to have "courage". Feng Lazi's fierce side suddenly began to show up in her heart. Anyway, there was someone to share the burden with, so tonight she had to try to make Jia Lian abandon his armor...
First my hands and feet were cold, then dizziness, low-grade fever, and back pain.
Then I went home and took a piece of ibuprofen. After resting for four or five hours, I felt better now.
I just have some symptoms of backache, I think it's mild or just a cold, and I can still type.
