Chapter 411: Atmosphere in Beijing

"Give your child a name! You left in a hurry and didn't give your child a name in advance."

Only then did Yu Ren remember that he had forgotten such an important event. But it didn't matter. In fact, he had already given his child a name in his heart.

"Just call Yu Kuai! I hope that our children will live happily and happily every day when they grow up."

Zhao Rui frowned, "This can only be a nickname, give it another big name!"

Yu Ren had a headache. You should know that naming is a big problem. If it was in modern times, it would be fine if he just named him, but it was in the Ming Dynasty. He was a person with status, and his grandfather was the leader of the Donglin Party. In the future, the people he would come into contact with must be those talented men who are well-read in poetry and books. If he just named him and it would be wrong for him to be laughed at by his son in the future.

After thinking about this, Yu Ren couldn't help but suffer a difficult situation.

When Zhao Peng saw it, he quickly came up. The old man named the child a few days ago. I was afraid that you would not use it, so he didn't say it.

When Yu Ren heard that Zhao Nanxing actually named the child, it would be of course the best. You know, Zhao Nanxing was able to become the leader of the Donglin Party and the Minister of Personnel, and there was no need to mention the knowledge in the book.

"Tell me quickly."

Zhao Peng then said quickly, "The old man said, you have too much murderous aura, so you should give your child a name that can support your murderous aura. The old man said that water is soft and strong, so it is best to call it Yu Miao."

Yu Ren heard this, "Okay, it's better for the old man to be knowledgeable. Just call it fish fry!"

Zhao Rui glared at him, "What Yu Miao? It's Yu Miao."

Yu Ren laughed, "Yes, yes, yes, Yu Miao, Yu Miao. I said why did this kid cry just now when I hugged him? It's because my murderous aura is too strong! Well, it's still his grandfather's thoughts."

After saying that, Yu Ren waved his hand. "Let's go, go to the city first."

When Zhao Peng heard that Yu Ren was about to enter the city again, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed. "The old man specially ordered me to send my younger sister back to his hometown. I'll go back immediately. Would the old man be unhappy?"

Yu Ren reached out and patted Zhao Peng on the shoulder. "Don't worry, second brother, why did the old man send Ruirui back to his hometown? I'm still not worried that the Jurchens would break the barrier and come to Beijing!

Don't worry. I promise that the Jurchens can't beat them. Besides, even if they really hit them, are you Gaoyi safer than the capital? I don't think so. Who are the Jurchens? They are all bandits. In their eyes, we Han people are almost the same as their cattle and sheep. If they really get into the barrier, how could they give up such a good opportunity to rob?

At that time, such a small city as Gaoyi will inevitably be captured by them, and the capital city of Gaochishen may not be able to attack the Jurchens. Therefore, no matter from which aspect, the capital city is safer than Gaoyi. Moreover, Ruirui has just been in production for a few days, so it is really not suitable for the bumpy road."

When Zhao Peng heard what Yu Ren said was reasonable, he no longer objected.

Back to his residence in Beijing, this is a small courtyard that Yu Ren bought for Zhao Rui before going to Liaodong. Although it is not big or too small, there are more than a dozen main rooms and wing rooms.

When Yu Ren returned here, it felt like he was back home. Although everyone was nervous and worried that he would not know when the Jurchens would come here. But Yu Ren knew that the Jurchens would not come again in the short term. Because the trouble they caused to them in Zhenjiang became increasingly greater. Nurhaci no longer dared to come out without any scruples and come east like before.

And if it were just a small group of Jurchens, Yu Ren believed that they would not be able to break through Shanhaiguan.

Yu Ren ordered his servants to order a table of wine and food in the restaurant and accompany Zhao Peng to drink in the house. The two of them chatted while drinking.

When Zhao Peng asked about Yu Ren's incident after leaving the capital, Yu Ren said it simply. He only said that after going out to sea, he met Mao Wenlong on the sea who was about to attack Zhenjiang Fort. So he followed them to Zhenjiang. After that, Mao Wenlong captured Zhenjiang Fort, and they followed him there for some days.

The situation in Zhenjiang Castle has stabilized recently. He was thinking about Zhao Rui and the child in his heart, so he said goodbye to Mao Wenlong and came back.

When Zhao Peng heard Yu Ren say this, he didn't care, thinking that Yu Ren was just helping Mao Wenlong.

After drinking a few drinks, Zhao Peng couldn't help but sigh. "If I had known Zhenjiang Fortress was so easy to get, I should have advised the old man to help you hire a team of troops in the Ministry of War. In this way, with your martial arts, this unparalleled achievement will inevitably belong to our family."

When Yu Ren heard Zhao Peng say this, he just smiled indifferently without telling him the truth. This is not because he does not trust Zhao Peng. In his opinion, Zhao Peng's vision is too short-sighted and his ideological limitations are too great, so he is not suitable to discuss the world's plans with him.

Zhao Peng would have misunderstood the meaning of Yu Ren's smile. He thought he disdained the credit, so he quickly said, "Brother-in-law! Don't underestimate this credit. Although Zhenjiang Castle is a small place, it is related to the overall situation of the entire Liaodong. I heard it when the old man and the others were discussing Mao Wenlong's credit.

Shoufu Ye said on the spot that Mao Wenlong’s great achievements this time were much greater than the military achievements you made in Shandong! Shoufu Ye made a decision on the spot and promoted him to general.”

Speaking of this, Zhao Peng couldn't help but sigh again. "This time, their Mao family has a character. Alas, it's a pity that our family doesn't have that luck!"

Yu Ren didn't want to explain anything to his brother-in-law. He just heard his constant sigh and regret, so he couldn't help but let his follower take out a small box from his bag, and then open it and give it to Zhao Peng.

When Zhao Peng saw a copper seal in the box, he picked it up and looked at it, and couldn't help but be shocked.

"Jiangdong General Seal!"

Although Zhao Peng's official position is not high, his father is the Minister of Personnel, and all the appointments and removals of officials must be passed by him. Zhao Peng's eyes were exaggerated and naturally knew these seals.

Seeing that Zhao Peng recognized the origin of this seal, Yu Ren just nodded gently. Then he gently patted Zhao Peng on the shoulder.

"If you want something to be fame and reputation, it will be useless, and it will easily cause trouble! Remember, you didn't see anything just now. This matter must be kept confidential and should not be mentioned to anyone, and you cannot say it in front of the old man. Otherwise, with the old man's square character, many things will inevitably happen, and maybe it will ruin my big deal."

Zhao Peng quickly focused his attention, and his admiration for this brother-in-law reached its peak. At this time, in his eyes, Yu Ren was simply a god rather than a human. Zhao Peng naturally kept it in mind what Yu Ren said. However, his understanding thought that Yu Ren wanted to borrow Mao Wenlong's identity in Zhenjiang area to create his personal power. After all, Yu Ren was still a pirate. In fact, although Yu Ren also had this consideration, the main reason was that he did not want to be restrained by the court, so as not to be harmed by Wei Zhongxian in the future.

When Yu Ren looked at Zhao Peng's eyes, he knew that he had misunderstood, but he was also lazy to explain.

After the two had dinner, Yu Ren asked Zhao Peng to lead the way to meet the old man Zhao Nanxing.

This was the first time Yu Ren had officially visited his father-in-law as a son-in-law. Although he knew that Mr. Zhao would not care about his gifts, he still chose two top Korean ginseng and a few top-quality sable furs.

In our China, giving gifts sometimes does not necessarily mean anything else. First of all, it is a kind of etiquette, which shows your importance to your host. This habit has not changed since ancient times.

This time, Zhao Nanxing was no longer as cold as before, but he was not polite. Seeing Yu Ren following Zhao Peng, the old man just nodded lightly and said, "Come on!"

When Yu Ren heard this, his uneasy heart finally felt relieved. You know, although Zhao Nanxing's attitude was not enthusiastic, the faint "Here is here!" just shows that he has treated Yu Ren as his family from the bottom of his heart, so he will not be too polite.

You know, for this result, he and Zhao Rui were very moved and worked hard to act a scene, but they still failed. This time, the old man took the initiative to let go of his figure, probably because of the current crisis in Beijing, and the old man had already vaguely thought of dying for his country. If he really wanted to die, the person he was most worried about was this young daughter Zhao Rui. Although Zhao Nanxing has always been strict with Zhao Rui, from the bottom of his heart, she is still the one he loves the most.

Seeing that the disaster was about to come, Zhao Nanxing naturally no longer cared about those false reputations. Only then could Yu Ren easily deal with this father-in-law.

Zhao Nanxing said, turned around and walked towards the living room. Yu Ren quickly handed over the things in his hand to the butler beside him and followed Zhao Peng.

"What are your gains in this trip to Liaodong?" The old man sat in the middle, picked up a cup of tea on the table, and spoke without any politeness. He naturally put Yu Ren into his own child. This made Yu Ren's heart, which was already a little nervous, calm down completely.

"There was no big gains. But when I arrived in Zhenjiang, Mao Wenlong was sieging the city and helped me a little. Later, the situation in Zhenjiang was not stable, and it was only better until recently. So I was dragging it back to the capital." Yu Ren said a few words lightly.

Zhao Nanxing looked at Yu Ren with some surprise. "Didn't they say you were going to Guangning at that time? Why did you go to Zhenjiang again?"

"At that time, we were going to Guangning, but we were not lucky and were blown to the east by the strong wind. Later, we happened to meet Mao Wenlong who was going to sea to attack Zhenjiang, so we went together."

Zhao Nanxing nodded and was about to ask him some details. His family came to report to him, saying that Grand Secretary Sun Chengzong had invited him.

Zhao Nanxing glanced at Yu Ren and sighed. "You go back first! The situation is unstable now, and you and I are grateful to the emperor and should share the worries of the country. You should settle Rui'er first when you go back. After today, I am afraid that you will never see you."
