"Because you and I are husband and wife, you and Qingrou Shiman have to support me in many things. I also know that going out is dangerous, but some things are not something that you don't want to do if you don't want to do. Our identity does not allow it, do you know?"

Chen Xu looked at Meng Wan's exquisite and unparalleled face and criticized righteously.

"Husband, it's Wan'er who was wrong. You shouldn't say these words!" Meng Wan's eyes were red and arched in Chen Xu's arms and said softly.

"It is impossible to say, and I don't want to do this. It's just that this era does not allow us to be content with pleasure. In other words, it is not the time for us to be content with pleasure. My Daqin is a generation after generation of kings and subjects who have been working hard and accumulating and pioneering, which has led to the prosperous times you and I see today. The world is so big, and there are countless places waiting for us to conquer, and countless beautiful scenery waiting for us to see. Time is endless..."

Chen Xu shook his head regretfully.

Even though he didn't want to say these words, he still had to grit his teeth and say them out.

Conquering the world is the dream of every man, but for the wife, children and young people who are leaving their home, it is another kind of unparalleled sadness and pain.

Human beings have respected heroes since ancient times, but heroes are not chickens and cannot be hatched in a comfortable nest. Only by holding a gun and jumping into the horse and fighting in blood and fire can we finally transform.

As the son of the Supreme Court, Meng Yun could certainly rely on the protection of his ancestors to become a high-ranking official in the Qin Dynasty in the future, but just like what Feng Quji said to his son, at most second-rank officials are definitely the pinnacle of these people. If he doesn't fight, it will never be possible to be a marquis or a prime minister. If he loses his fighting spirit and wants to enjoy his success, the Qin Dynasty's center will be slowly occupied by these noble children who are in corpse and eat, and finally becomes a country that is bloated, corrupt and has lost its ability to pioneer and innovate.

The laws of the Qin Dynasty are very powerful now, and a good atmosphere has been formed since Shang Yang, that is, the imperial family can no longer be granted titles. If there is no merit, the First Emperor could not grant titles to those he likes. Although this law is very watery in the eyes of the emperor and the ministers, relying on merit to titles is indeed an excellent way for civilians to become officials. It completely disrupted the aristocratic tradition of the Zhou Dynasty that the nobles were hereditary, and ultimately created the invincible combat power of the Qin Dynasty.

Although many laws in the Qin Dynasty were indeed strict, they also benefited many benefits for ordinary civilians. From private ownership of farmland and property to military merits and titles, they greatly promoted the development of society and received the support of countless people at the bottom.

Although the country of Qin has been stable and the four barbarians have been conquered, and in Chen Xu's view, the disadvantages of the old military merits and titles are becoming increasingly prominent, this system still has strong vitality. Even if Chen Xu wants to carry out military reforms, he will still regard military merits as the main assessment target.

Inspiring the children of Mengyun and other noble families to join the army to expand territory for the Qin Dynasty will inevitably inspire the enthusiasm and courage of ordinary generals.

Only in this way can the playboys like Meng Yun truly transform and become the real pillar of the Qin Dynasty in the future. They are the most loyal fans of the Qin Dynasty and are far more loyal to the Qin Dynasty than those civilian officials and generals who rose in the late cold.

Therefore, Chen Xu would never be soft-hearted in the face of Meng Wan's request.

Anyway, it was not him who went to join the army and suffered the war, not to mention that the Fourth Princess was not his wife, so it was all he had to do with his empty room alone at home.

However, it is okay to encourage others to fight on the battlefield to gain fame, so just let Chen Xu go by himself. He has now been granted the title of Shangqing, and the two marquises are the honor of the left prime minister of the Great Qin and the young master. He is already at the top of the emperor and can no longer be granted the title of the emperor. He continues to gain the merit of destroying the country. I am afraid that the emperor will not know how to reward him. Could it be that he will be ruthless... and abdicate the emperor to him.

Chen Xu shivered slightly.

Being an emperor is not his dream. It is too hard to stay up late and work overtime after work. 996 cannot describe this kind of pain. It is better to be a free and leisurely marquis.

Back at the Qinghe Hou Mansion, as soon as the carriage entered the courtyard, I heard the sound of pan flutes and ding-dong guqin in the living room.

"Husband, it seems that Dean Shi and Sister Wanwan are here!" Meng Wan happily hugged her daughter and got out of the car.

Chen Xu took Meng Wan to the door of the living room accompanied by the maid who was greeting. Sure enough, he saw Shi Xuan and Wanwan and his wife kneeling on the low couch, one playing the pan flute and the other playing the Qin zheng. The zither and flute were playing a melodious and light music. The couple were both very focused and devoted, and their movements were stretched and looked very harmonious and natural. The water was gentle. Ying Shiman and Fan Caiying and Fan Caiwei were also sitting upright and listening to the song.

Chen Xu stopped the maid from going in and informed him, and stood at the door with Meng Wan and listened to a piece of music. He watched Shi Xuan put down the pan flute, and then walked in with a smile and applaud.

"Haha, the chorus and flute ensemble of Dean Shi and Miss Tian have become more and more sophisticated. This song is as cheerful and melodious as the spring breeze blows on her face, which is a masterpiece!"

"The Marquis is back!" Shi Xuan and Wanwan quickly stood up and saluted.

"Husband~" Shui Qingrou and a group of wives and concubines also quickly greeted Lai Fu Shi and saluted.

"No gifts are not allowed, there is no need to be so polite at home!" Chen Xu waved his hand to the chairman of the central government to sit down. Shui Qingrou personally brought a cup of hot tea, and Meng Wan also held her daughter and sat down next to Ying Shiman.

"Director Shi, Miss Hotan, forgives his crimes. This marquis took Wanniang and her daughter to visit the Censor and leave for a banquet. Therefore, I'm late to return, please forgive me!" Chen Xu bowed his hand to Shi Xuan and Wanwan and said.

"Mr. Marquis must not ruin my husband and wife. It is a great honor to be invited by the Marquis. I just received a warm reception from the wife. I couldn't help but show off when I was sitting idle, so I made the Marquis laugh!" Shi Xuan quickly returned the greeting.

After a brief greeting, Chen Xu did not say what was going on inviting Shi Xuan and Wanwan, but instead called a group of singers and dancers to sing and dance in the living room to cheer up. At the same time, he placed snacks, red wine and tea. While eating, drinking and listening to music, he also exchanged some developments of folk art dances and Qinghe Theater. After a few songs, the sky gradually became dark. Shui Qingrou knew that Chen Xu had an arrangement to invite Shi Xuan and Wanwan to come today, so he ordered the lights to leave after the servants and a group of women left.

After the living room was quiet, Shi Xuanluo spoke nervously: "I wonder what instructions did the Marquis invite Xuan and my wife to come today?"

"Director Shi, don't be nervous, it's just an order. There is something that I want to ask Miss Tian for help!" Chen Xu waved his hand.

Shi Xuan quickly stood up and bowed and said, "Xuan avoided it for the time being!"

"It's okay for Dean Shi to sit down. Perhaps Dean Shi should also secretly do this. However, you two must not disclose what the Marquis of Japan said, regardless of whether you do it or not!" Chen Xu raised his hand to appease Shi Xuan and sat down.

"If you have any questions, please give me instructions. My husband and I will definitely do our best and keep the secret!" Wanwan stood up and bowed.

"Yes, my husband and I can take care of you today. The marquis will give you the order!" Although Shi Xuan was a little nervous, his tone was also firm.

"This matter is not difficult to handle, but it must be very hidden. You must not reveal any contact with this marquis. Do you two know that a new Chunfang Garden has been opened in the south of the city?" Chen Xu asked.

Shi Xuan and Wanwan looked at each other and nodded together.

"Chunfang Garden is very famous in the Quyuan community in Xianyang recently. I heard that it was the property of the Marquis of Jiancheng, Zhao Hai. It seems that there are several noble people from the court who contributed their investments. I wonder why the Marquis asked?" Shi Xuan asked carefully.

"This marquis wants to arrange some people to secretly enter Chunfangyuan to help inquire about the news, but they cannot let Jianchenghou discover it. Therefore, they have to act secretly. Miss Tian is more familiar with the Quyuan community in Xianyang. There may have been many familiar people in the past, so it is easier to operate and will not arouse too many people's suspicion!"

Wanwan sat down calmly and nodded slightly: "What the Marquis said was that Tian Hui was wandering in Tianjie and made a living by singing and laughing in Yinyue Pavilion. Although her reputation was not obvious, she was indeed clear about the people and things in Quyuan, and she also knew many sisters who were sympathetic. How did the Marquis plan to let Hui do it?"

"Shortly after Chunfang Garden opened, we will definitely recruit some famous singers and dancers in the Quyuan world to enhance the reputation and strength of Quyuan. Therefore, I need you and the two of you to secretly help me find and package a few beautiful and proficient in rhythmic dancers, and then send them to Chunfang Garden to become the top player in this way, so that we can find the news that this marquis needs. However, it should be noted that these famous actors must be able to strictly keep secrets and do not know at all that they have to do with this marquis..."

Chen Xu explained the matter completely and carefully reminded him that although Shi Xuan and Wanwan had no entanglement with the officialdom, they were both upper-class people after all. As a great musician, Shi Xuan often went to and from the palaces of princes and princes and ministers to play music for guests, and Tian Hui was even the princess of Qi. He had met with each other for countless years, and he also knew about the struggles and darkness between the court and the officialdom.

In recent years, they have been staying in Xianyang. After relying on Chen Xu, they naturally have a higher identity. One manages the Women's College and the other manages the singing and dancing program rehearsals of the Qinghe Theater. They usually interact with some big names in the Quyuan world, and they also go out to the singing and dancing banquets of kings, princes, generals, and civil and military officials. Therefore, they also have a thorough understanding of the officialdom.

Chen Xu secretly carried out this incident, necessarily because he wanted to find out some inside stories in the officialdom through Chunfangyuan controlled by Zhao Hai.

"Mr. Marquis, there is no big problem in finding training actors, but we are not familiar with Marquis Jiancheng. If we rashly recommend someone, it may cause suspicion!" Wanwan said with some concern.

"It's okay, this Hou planned an event, which will inevitably make Hou Jiancheng interested enough. You two come here..."

Shi Xuan and Wanwan quickly walked to Chen Xu and knelt down and listened to the instructions.

"This is what I plan. Miss Tian privately contacted some famous Quyuan in Xianyang to recommend her top celebrities. Taking advantage of the spring flowers, they held a courtesan competition, and competed musical instruments, singing and dancing, and invited some romantic celebrities who often mingle in Quyuan as guests to select ten courtesans. Finally, one, two or three of them were selected as the leader. In the future, they could even use commercial sponsorship to organize a long-term event similar to the Cuju League. Of course, this event can also be invited to participate. The purpose of the Dean Shi, Miss Hetian, was to package out a few people who could be used by this Hou. When the Courtesan competition ended, the Hou would definitely be interested in these courtesans..."
