Chen Zhong only took away Mang Gurtai's two beloved concubines that night, but Li Yuanqing had no thoughts about these women.
As the saying goes, 'If you don't have long-term worries, you will have immediate worries.'
Although the move to Zhenjiang has been completed, Li Yuanqing understands that this matter is really full of smell.
As the old saying goes, 'If the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them!'
Even though Li Yuanqing was able to conceal his edge in this battle, and Mao Wenlong was in front of him to support him, moving the entire city was still a bit too shocking.
The country has been dynasty for more than two hundred years. Except for the early Taizu, who had the experience of migrating wealthy households from the south of the Yangtze River to Fengyang, the central capital, in the past two hundred years, there has been almost no such thing as moving the entire city, let alone,
It's wartime.
To put it more bluntly, Li Yuanqing has broken the unspoken rules of the game.
Even though Li Yuanqing wanted to have a better overview of the overall situation of Liao Dynasty and maintain the overall advantage of Liaonan and Liaodong over Hou Jin, Zhenjiang became an empty city and a dead city. So much land was abandoned at once, and those in the DPRK
How could the civil servants who were eager to beg for the emperor's favor and shout, "The emperor guards the gate of the country and the king dies for the country" would be so willing to give up?
In addition, Li Yuanqing had always been too aggressive and rarely communicated with the civil servants in the DPRK and China.
As a result, if he, Li Yuanqing, is not the best target, who else will be?
Standing alone on the coast where the cold wind was whistling, looking at the vast and deep endless sea, Li Yuanqing's mood became clearer and brighter.
People.
How is it possible that there are no shortcomings?
Who dares to use a person without shortcomings? Who can rest assured?
Duke Zhou was afraid of the day of rumors, but Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the throne.
Especially at this time, Li Yuanqing is no longer the leading soldier in Shenyang City. His every move, word and deed will affect the fate of countless people.
If someone is called "Wang Mang" because of this, then it's like mud fell into his crotch - even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he wouldn't be able to wash it away.
He must expose his shortcomings so that those who want to target him can find a better entry point.
But this shortcoming should not be too serious, so that others can hit his vital points, and it should be a topic of conversation, but it must not be fatal.
Not far away, Mrs. Cao looked at the tall man in front of her and felt a little emotional for a moment.
Like Li Yuanqing, Mrs. Cao also came from a grassroots background.
When she was young, she was a maid of a wealthy family in Shenyang City. She was expelled from the house because she was pregnant with the young master's child, and she had no choice but to marry a humble gardener.
Later, the young master regretted it again and secretly sent someone to kill the gardener, and then captured her again.
Unfortunately, good things don't last long. The young lady discovered this matter again and directly ordered her servants to execute her.
Fortunately, she was lucky enough to impress the person who attacked her with her beauty, and she fled to the remote Zhenjiang with her child in her arms.
Then, she married a stable and honest cook who was more than ten years older than her, and settled down in Zhenjiang City.
But as the children grew up, the man who was the cook did not earn much, so she had no choice but to work out to make a living.
Unfortunately, money is not that easy to earn.
Mrs. Cao originally wanted to go back to her old business and do some secret skin trading, but by chance, she discovered that being a matchmaker was a good job.
In addition, her cook man was not kind to her, and she did not want to embarrass him, so she began to work hard in this direction.
With her experience and skills, she quickly established a foothold in Zhenjiang City.
Over the past twenty years, she has become the best matchmaker in Zhenjiang City. Even for Tatars, she has to handle many things.
During her lifetime, Granny Cao has met countless people, both men and women, but Granny Cao has never met anyone like Li Yuanqing.
Even with her experience, she still couldn't see through Li Yuanqing's mind.
Just like tonight.
Mrs. Cao knew that Li Yuanqing was trying to win over Chen Zhong, but she didn't understand why Li Yuanqing could make Chen Zhong so desperate with only twenty women who could only be called 'high-end' but far from the best.
, and left happily.
Is it just because of these two concubines of Mang Gurtai?
Mrs. Cao herself didn’t believe it.
He must have reached a compromise with Chen Zhong in advance in more aspects.
However, this kind of thing is far beyond Mrs. Cao's ability to intervene.
Especially at this time, Granny Cao's family, her two sons, her four grandsons, and three granddaughters, her wealth and life, had already been riding on Li Yuanqing's ship.
She can only hope that Li Yuanqing will get better and better, and their family will be able to prosper.
"Sir, it's getting late. It's windy here. You, you'd better go back and rest early?"
Seeing Li Yuanqing standing alone in the cold wind, Mrs. Cao also felt a little distressed and hurriedly tried to persuade him.
Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "Sister Cao, it's Yuan Qing's fault that you stay here with me in such a cold weather."
Li Yuanqing said, slowly exhaling a long breath and looking at the misty night sky.
Seeing Li Yuanqing's gentle attitude, Mrs. Cao became more courageous, "Sir, are you worried about anything? Can you tell me? Maybe I can help you."
Mrs. Cao knew that according to Li Yuanqing's identity, his gaze was naturally far incomparable to other people's.
Although there are some of the best women in the big tent, none of them are perfect, and Li Yuanqing may not like them.
Although there was a precedent for Daisy, Daisy was different from ordinary people after all, and her identity was unusual. Mrs. Cao could only endure her temper, rack her brains, and carefully explore Li Yuanqing's thoughts.
Li Yuanqing smiled and turned to look at Mrs. Cao, "Sister Cao, I really have something to do and I want to ask you to do me a favor."
Mrs. Cao couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Sir, if you have anything to do, just give me your instructions. I'm all ears."
Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "Among the people left behind now, whose wife is more beautiful? A widow is fine too."
Mrs. Cao was stunned. She never thought that Li Yuanqing had such a 'hobby'...
But after Li Yuanqing spoke, she could only think quickly.
For a moment, Mrs. Cao said carefully: "Master, if, in terms of beauty, Mrs. Ying'er may only be ranked third in Zhenjiang City. There are two people in front of her. One of them is the young lady Liu of Qi Gangcheng, the young master of the Qi family.
The other person is Master Huimin, the third master of the nunnery in the west of the city."
"oh?"
Seeing Granny Cao's careful look, Li Yuanqing also became interested and said with a faint smile: "Sister Cao, what is different about Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Huimin from ordinary people?"
When Mrs. Cao saw Li Yuanqing talking about it, she hurriedly smiled and said: "Master, this Liu family comes from the Han Yi people of Korea. She was originally the daughter of a salt merchant in Tieshan. This salt merchant has lived in Zhenjiang all year round, and Liu family has been living in Zhenjiang since he was a child.
His reputation spread far and wide, and there was an endless stream of people seeking marriage, including the Qi family. However, the salt merchant didn't seem to want his daughter to marry a Han, so he didn't agree. But just last year, I don't know why.
, the salt merchant's house suddenly caught fire, and he died completely. Fortunately, Mrs. Liu went out to buy rouge and gouache and escaped the disaster. Later, Mrs. Liu became the wife of Qi Gangcheng. I have seen Mrs. Liu several times.
Secondly, her figure is slim and slender, and her skin is as delicate as water. Compared with Mrs. Ying'er, she is probably only half a step ahead."
Li Yuanqing smiled, knowing that he understood the compliment in Mrs. Cao's words. Presumably, this Liu family should be more outstanding than Ying'er.
However, it can be seen that Mrs. Cao's senses are not good for the Qi family, and she pointed out overtly and covertly that the Qi family did this unkindly.
But how could Li Yuanqing be willing to let her control the rhythm? He smiled and said, "What about Master Huimin?"
When Mrs. Cao saw that Li Yuanqing was not "principal", she did not dare to be sloppy anymore, and hurriedly explained: "Sir, speaking of Master Huimin, she is well deserved to be the most beautiful woman in Zhenjiang City. She was born in the Huang family of Zhenjiang. , was originally engaged to the Zhang family in Shenyang. She and the young master of the Zhang family had been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and they were in love with each other. They were famous talents and beauties in Zhenjiang City at that time. However, the Zhang family in Shenyang later defected to the Tatars, and Master Huimin refused this offer. The marriage contract. She donated half of her dowry to a nunnery in the west of the city, became a nun and became a nun. From then on, she had no interest in worldly affairs."
Mrs. Cao said, and then said: "Sir, I saw Master Huimin a few times when she was a child. But after she became a monk, I only saw her once. She has lost a lot of weight than before, but she is far better than before. How many times Liu's."
Li Yuanqing smiled, and of course he understood the deep meaning of Mrs. Cao's words.
Obviously, it means that Master Huimin is a few levels higher than Ren Ying'er.
nun.
Still a pretty nun.
Still a teacher.
This thing is getting more and more interesting.
After a moment, Li Yuanqing smiled faintly and said, "Sister Cao, are Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Huimin in the camp now?"
Those who went to Changsheng Island first were only the Ren family and some small gentry who had taken refuge with Li Yuanqing in advance. The rest were ordinary people.
Li Yuanqing is very familiar with the fact that a wealthy family like the Qi family is still in the camp.
However, he had never seen any nuns in the camp.
Mrs. Cao hurriedly said: "Master, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Huimin are here. Mrs. Liu should be at the Qi family's tent. Mrs. Huimin is not far from our side."
She said, pointing to a camp not far away opposite.
An evil smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Li Yuanqing's mouth, "Very good. Sister Cao, I'd like to trouble you. Let's go and visit Master Huimin now."
"Master, now, now?" Mrs. Cao couldn't help but swallowed hard.
