Chapter 385 Epilogue (6)
Zhang Xueming dismounted, boarded the front RV, and sat down facing the door at the large square table in the living room on the first floor.
Someone attentively handed Zhang Xueming a hot towel to wipe his face and hands, someone brought hot tea and snacks, someone spread out rice paper on the table, someone ground ink, and someone brought in classified and labeled statements and reports...
A dozen other people took out notebooks and pens, ready to record Zhang Xueming's instructions.
The guards outside were on high alert as there were some urgent documents that needed to be delivered by express horses.
Jin Miao and Su Rong followed Gong Yuanzheng into the middle RV and saw the busy scene on the first floor from the open windows.
No matter how many times he had seen it, Jin Miao still couldn't help but sigh: "Young Master is working too hard."
Su Rong, who had just returned from inspecting the kitchen, immediately said, "We have fresh pork elbows today. Let the kitchen stew a pot of pork elbows for the young master to nourish him."
Gong Yuanzheng gave her an appreciative look: "Let them make another pot of milk tea, and make more Poria cocos cakes and Chinese yam and Euryale ferox cakes to send over. Zhao Zhao gets hungry easily when she uses her brain. Judging from her momentum, she won't make it to lunch."
He went up to the study on the second floor, opened the box containing Zhang Xueming's drawings and travel manuscripts, sat down at the desk and began to proofread and copy.
Zhang Xueming is so busy that he can only stop for lunch.
He couldn't help Zhang Xueming with any official duties, but he could help her finish her illustrated travelogue so that she wouldn't have to deal with this after finishing the other one.
……
Zhang Xueming looked towards the open window and saw Gong Yuanzheng concentrating on writing something on the second floor. He stopped looking and continued to concentrate on the report in his hand.
As the jurisdiction of the North expanded, administrative work also increased, and the number of clerks in the secretarial team more than doubled.
She is the one who finalizes the major policies. For other government affairs, if they are instructed to handle similar matters once, they will be able to handle them on their own next time. It is not a big deal to let her review them before they are issued.
And since the old ones are guiding the new ones, she doesn't have much to worry about.
The inconvenience in information transmission has become an obstacle to the implementation of government policies.
Telegraph, telephone...all rely on electricity.
Stable and available electricity can be obtained through thermal power generation.
This involves the use of steam engines.
The cylinder of the steam engine needs a seal, but there are no rubber trees in Dayan. Rubber can be extracted from Eucommia leaves, but...
Forget it. These things can’t be rushed. Let’s finish the current work first.
Zhang Xueming rubbed his temples, put the question aside, read the report quickly, pondered for a moment, asked someone to write down the problems he found, and picked up the next one to start reading.
……
By lunchtime, all the accumulated official business of the past few days had been completed.
Zhang Xueming took the hot towel and wiped his face, then wiped his hands, then stood up and said, "That's all for today, let's go eat first. Notify me if there are any urgent documents that need to be processed in the afternoon."
After returning to the carriage where Gong Yuanzheng was, she went upstairs to change into her regular clothes.
After entering the cloakroom and closing the door, the young master of the Zhang family, who always seemed so wise and mighty in front of others, dared to yawn, sniff, stretch, turn his head left and right to stretch his cervical vertebrae, and then put his hands on his hips to do waist exercises.
She complained to Gong Yuanzheng in her heart: "Even if I have a body made of steel, I can't stop the invasion of cervical spondylosis and lumbar muscle strain. This is the result of me getting up and walking every half an hour."
Gong Yuanzheng had already figured out her various little habits and had already closed all the windows on the second floor.
Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Then hurry up and come out, I'll give you a good massage."
Zhang Xueming came out and lay on the beauty couch, and Gong Yuanzheng sat beside her and gave her a massage.
Zhang Xueming closed his eyes and enjoyed it, not forgetting to praise Gong Yuanzheng: [A Yuan's technique is becoming more and more sophisticated, and each stroke is just the right amount of lightness and heaviness. ]
Gong Yuanzheng: ??? I suspect you are doing something pornographic, but I have no evidence.
He pressed his hand on Zhang Xueming's waist with a little more force: [Wait until night.]
Zhang Xueming was at a loss: [What are you waiting for at night? What are you going to do at night? ]
Gong Yuanzheng was a little disappointed and a little embarrassed, so he said casually, "I asked the kitchen to braise the pork elbow, and I'll make it for you tonight."
Zhang Xueming immediately imitated his tone and said: [Ayuan, you treat me so well.]
The two of them somehow started talking about the possibility of having a niece and nephew next year, and Zhang Xueming suddenly asked him: "A Yuan, after this Western Expedition is over, can we have a child?"
Gong Yuanzheng paused: [Are your family members urging you?]
Zhang Xueming tilted his head: [Not really. I feel like my family both wants me to have a baby and doesn’t want me to have one.]
The family didn't want to waste her and Gong Yuanzheng's excellent genes, but was also afraid that she would have an accident during childbirth. They were hesitant and had a headache.
Zhang Xueming had never thought that she would meet a partner as ideal as Gong Yuanzheng, and had never considered having children, but now she really wants to have one.
In addition to wanting to have a baby with the blood of both of us, the more important thing is: [I have to have a baby in these two years, otherwise I don’t think I will be able to have one in the future. 】
Gong Yuanzheng was shocked: [Is there something wrong with your body? ]
I quickly took her pulse, but found nothing wrong.
Gong Yuanzheng felt that Zhang Xueming would not say such things for no reason. It could only be that his medical skills were not good enough and he could not find the hidden dangers in her body. He was angry and anxious, and his eyes suddenly turned red.
Zhang Xueming quickly sat up and hugged him: [I'm not sick, Ayuan, don't let your imagination run wild. It's not long before my martial arts breaks through to the next level.]
Gong Yuanzheng hugged her tightly, and after a while, his heartbeat slowed down: [Is there something wrong with your technique?]
Zhang Xueming said helplessly: [There is nothing wrong with my technique, but it is too well integrated and has broken through the limit... My intuition tells me that when I reach the ninth level, I will not be able to leave any offspring.]
In fact, it was the repaired system that reminded her.
Her skills are a fusion of three skills. A single skill is still within the scope of martial arts, but the combination of three skills is beyond the norm. The first seven levels are fine, but the eighth level is a triple jump.
Or it is said that the light is dark. Every time she opened the proficiency panel, she would skip the basic information at the beginning and directly look at the skills she wanted to see.
Who knew that the [Realm] in the basic information had already changed from the early seventh level of the acquired realm (Qi training stage), skipping the eighth level of the Chongqiao stage and the ninth level of the Shenbian stage, to the first level of the innate realm (Qi realm).
The system explains this true qi as: the natural energy of heaven and earth, that is, spiritual energy.
In other words, the miasma in the Old Dust Valley is mixed with spiritual energy. The only one in this world who can use the poisonous spiritual energy for cultivation is her.
On My Cultivation in the World of Martial Arts
One step further, Zhang Xueming would be completely subhuman. In layman's terms, she and Gong Yuanzheng were not of the same species and were reproductively isolated.
How should I put it? Originally, this child could be born or not. But once the restriction came out, Zhang Xueming really wanted to have the child. Maybe it was the effect of hunger marketing?
Of course, since there is already a big baby, Gong Yuanzheng, at home, if she wants to have a second child, she has to coax the big baby first and make sure that she will not neglect the big baby because of the second child.
