024 A good man

"Nonsense!"

Lou Yun knew that he was vulgar and unliterate, and when he heard him say it ugly, he scolded with a heavy face, "Wu Guan has led the family for three generations to be in Quanzhou Water Division, his."

The wife heard that it is a good marriage to the Tong family, and she must also be the daughter of the pipe belt in the Quanzhou water master, can't the daughter of their family get married, and she has to come to my house to find a bastard boy who has no official qualities to be her son-in-law? “

Although Lin Niangniang listened to him scolding, the meaning of protection was obvious.

Lou Da is the leader of a district general, although he once killed thieves at sea by chance, and rescued Wu Guandai, who went to suppress thieves at that time,

But before he had official qualities, after all, he was just a Hakka-like character.

Wu Guandai even wanted to thank him for his assistance and appreciated his talent, so he repeatedly asked for concession in front of Lou Yun

Lou Da went to him to be a captain, so that he could earn a future in the future, but he would not thank him with his own daughter.

As for Lou Da -- Lou Yun has always known that Lou Da is a little arrogant.

Of course she Lin Thief Niang also knew.

"My lord, Wu Guan has a daughter under his knees, nineteen years old-"

She stepped forward and whispered, Lou Yun glanced at her but did not make a sound, and there was no surprise in her expression, but Lou Da was startled, and hurriedly inserted and said:

"My lord! Those are too lazy to oil, the art of war is still as much as the villain knows, usually they are in Quanzhou City, and the practice is not as diligent as the tax collectors in our city, what can they teach me? It's not that you don't know that Wu Guandao is a waste wine basket, and compared to him, I have also led troops to kill pirates-"

While speaking, Lou Da was a little anxious, and his mouth was full of "you, you, me, and me", although he was frightened back by Lou Yun's eyes, but out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Lin Thief Niang, who was silent, and her slightly pale side face, he still mustered up his courage and stammered:

"My lord, I want to marry ......"

"What am I? I don't know the rules! Can't you tell the difference between the superior and the inferior? It's been a vain lesson for you in the past few years! I don't know how to make an appearance for my brothers! Tomorrow you don't have to go out of the room, but you can copy the Analects a hundred times in the cabin! ”

Lou Da is only a few years younger than Lou Yun, and he has grown up together since childhood, but he and the more than 60 brothers surnamed Lou who are temporarily serving as generals in the house were all brought out of the mountains after Lou Yun returned to the southwest in recent years.

Although he had long felt that Lou Yun came out of the southwest mountains and went to the capital to look for relatives, the more he read the books, the more he became the official, and now he no longer messed around with his brothers in the women's pile, and even went to the prostitute he liked to go to in the past.

If it weren't for the fact that he often brought official tricks with him, there were seven or eight beautiful maids in the house, and he wouldn't care if his brothers went to the brothels, he almost thought that Lou Yun would become a monk and eat vegetarian.

He wanted to marry Lin Thief Niang as his wife, but he didn't dare to say it anymore, watching Lou Yun leave the cabin, Lin Thief Niang followed diligently, and went to the front cabin hall with him to admire the paintings from the deputy envoys and subordinate officials.

He remembered that Lin Thiefniang once said that anyway, the concubines are all four or five years of lease deeds, which are easy to send, if she wants to be Lou Yun's concubine, maybe there is still a chance of one or two percent, but if she wants to marry him Lou Da as his wife, I am afraid that half of the chances will not be.

Lou Yun will not agree.

He could only sigh and go out to the back cabin, ready to use a stomach full of resentment to tell the third Ji that he knew a little powerful!

"I heard that before Wang Gang got off the boat, he sent a painting again?

Far away, still through the bead curtain swaying with the waves, Lou Yun had already seen the public hall cabin where the subordinate officials were appreciating the paintings, "Chen Gangshou is also a little arrogant, why do you have to compete with the Wang family?" ”

Lin Thief Niang, who accompanied her, pursed her lips and smiled, and didn't say much about the "thrilling" at sea three days ago, as well as the gambling contract between the Chen family and the Wang family in the past few days.

In the bead curtain, on the wall of the hall, there are ink painting scrolls hanging one after another, which was originally a painting appreciation gamble that he secretly instructed Chen Hong to use the typhoon three days ago as an excuse to quarrel with Jiangsu, Zhejiang and maritime merchants.

He seemed to stay out of the matter, and especially smiled lightly:

"If the Wang family loses, not to mention that the leaders of Jiangsu and Zhejiang who came with them are not convinced, even the deputy envoy of Qin will not look good."

He had already seen Jun Mo poking his head out of the side door of the ship, glanced at him, and shrank back, and he also saw the figure of Qin Congyun among the subordinate officials in the curtain.

How delicate she was, of course she knew that he used the portrait of Yi Nu to provoke Wang Shiqiang and forced him to get off the ship, so she took the opportunity to set a trap for Qin Congyun and led him from the Wang family's sea ship to his own ship.

The deputy envoy Qin Congyun was originally a general judge of Mingzhou and a good friend of Wang Shiqiang.

She skillfully moved the lotus step, and was about to step forward to open the curtain for him, but suddenly stopped, turned to look at Lou Yun, lowered her head and whispered:

"My lord, Lou Daguan has an uncertain temperament, and he is a bully and afraid of hard to women, so he looks at the slave family, and finds a plain person for him, and the official woman whose father and brother are officials in Quanzhou as his wife, and slowly adjusts and teaches him, otherwise he will not enter the house one after another, or sleep outside the flowers and willows, and live up to the adult's love for him."

Lou Yun was not surprised, he looked at her, and after a while, he didn't talk about Lou Da's family affairs, nor did he mention her and Lou Da

The secret communication between the paragraphs, instead asked:

"I remember, although Thief Niang is your stage name, Lin is the surname of Quanzhou City, right?"

Her heart was slightly sour, she bowed her knees, and said softly:

"The Wanderer is a weak girl, insulting the ancestral surname."

She is also a local official woman, but she was involved in a family crime, and she became an official when she was seven years old, and now she has been laughing at fireworks for seventeen years - her past, Lou Yun must have found out in the past four years.

He nodded:

"You pay attention to him, although there are some women in my house, they are all Yi girls sent by the merchants, and they can't speak all the Chinese, and they are enough to take care of my food and clothing, and the rest can't be counted on them. Although the elder of the house sent two old family members from Mingzhou to take care of the housekeeper for me-"

His voice paused, "Lou Da's affairs are their affairs, but they can't be handed over to them to take care of, and you have to worry a lot." ”

Of course, she understands that these generals are his henchmen, and their future depends on him, but they are the same age as Lou Yun, and they are all waiting to talk about their relatives.

However, there is no hostess in the mansion, and Lou Yun is a man, so he is impatient to take care of these things at all.

Four years ago, he helped her out of the siege and asked Chen Hong to give up forcibly ransom her back to the mansion as a concubine, she had already decided to lean against the big tree to take advantage of the cold, if he was not interested in her complexion, he had just arrived, she knew everything about Quanzhou officialdom and the wealthy businessmen in Quanzhou City, he would definitely be able to use it.

But I waited for four years.

"Forgive the slave family bluntly, the adult's original place is not in Quanzhou, and he was originally released by Beijing officials, there are no relatives to rely on in Quanzhou City, and there are no old teachers and friends to trust, but it is only four years, and the adults in Quanzhou City have a deeper foundation, up to the Fuguan Lord on Fujian Road and the clan of Quanzhou Mansion, down to the head of the Fujian Eight Outlines, 400,000 people in Fanfang, and pirates who make a living from the plundering at sea, no one dares to underestimate the adults, but to talk about the relatives in the inner house——"

In her eyes, he can always worry about the exercises and homework of the generals of Lou Da, as well as their visits to the prostitutes, which are no longer the meaning of the master and servant, but because of the brotherhood of the people with the same surname.

But it is impossible for him to deal with the officials of Quanzhou Mansion every day in order to find a wife for them.

This is inherently a woman's thing.

When she was young, she was in front of her mother's lap and was extremely favored, so she could often listen to her mother unintentionally, while stroking her head, while talking and laughing with her aunts and aunts.

The women in the house talked about the ladies of the various mansions in Quanzhou City, the relatives and friends of each family, as well as the comments and behaviors of the ladies and sons of each family, and they always knew everything about it, and often in a few words, the mother could tell the marriage of the sister.

And after she became an official, she listened to more of them at the banquet of the officials, commenting on the article of Xie Yuan, the first name in the township examination, and discussing the obscure relationship between the examiner and this Xie Yuan;

Perhaps, they will also laugh and talk about the fact that the daughter of the broken clan in Quanzhou City the day before yesterday was so poor that she married a maritime merchant regardless of her identity or the ban of the imperial court. As a result, this matter was caused in the capital, and it was directly broken off by Dazongzheng. It was also because her husband did not give enough money to several uncles in the clan that she made a joke that made the official family lose face.

The matter of the daughter of the clan marrying a businessman without a title or title is now a secret, and everyone is just trying to live a comfortable life.

More often, they pay attention to the intricate background of the Beijing officials who came to Quanzhou City.

Is a certain adult who has fled back from the Jin Kingdom and Western Xia in recent decades, or is it a descendant of an official eunuch who moved south with Gaozong a hundred years ago, like the Mingzhou Lou family, or a native of the south of the Yangtze River......

Even if Lou Yun didn't instruct, she had been secretly paying attention to the school-age women in Quanzhou City, of course she knew that it would be even more inappropriate to ask him to hand over the family affairs of these family members to outsiders from Mingzhou to deal with.

"The slave family knows that the adults intend to let Lou Duoduo get close to Wu Guandao—"

She watched coldly, because in the past two years, the pirates who robbed the merchants in the waters of Quanzhou from time to time not only affected the tax revenue of the city, but she had heard the rumors, and the Quanzhou sailors even coveted money and colluded with the pirates.

Others may not be concerned and hang high, but this Lou will not be like this.

Let Lou Da, who had participated in the eradication of pirates, take advantage of the merits of accompanying the envoy this time to enter the Quanzhou Navy Division without a trace, which should be his first step.

She knew her chance had come.
