After the incident of King Lu, Jinyiwei commanded Zhang Kuishan to enter the palace again to report important information to Zhu Cihong.

"Your Majesty, the Jinyi Wei secret agent finally found the trace of the red lady, the emperor expected it to be good, this woman has been in disguise in the city for the past few months to inquire about Li Yan's news." Zhang Kuishan said.

"Oh?" Zhu Cihong's eyes lit up, and he found the red lady, not afraid that Li Yan would not give in. Li Yan has the talent to govern the country, and the red lady is a strange woman who can lead soldiers to fight, this husband and wife are rare talents, if the husband and wife can be subdued together, it is the luck of the Ming Dynasty

The Red Lady has been away from Li Zicheng for half a year, not only did not participate in the Battle of Shanhaiguan, but even the Battle of Shanxi, Li Zicheng was chased and killed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty when there was no way to enter the ground and no door, the Red Lady did not go to the rescue, and now Tongguan is about to be broken, Li Zicheng is about to be defeated, and he also does not see the Red Lady's red camp have any action.

Zhu Cihong analyzed that on the eve of the Battle of Shanhaiguan more than half a year ago, the Red Lady suddenly led the troops out, which was likely to cause some irreparable contradiction with Li Zicheng.

"Tell me about it!" Zhu Cihong said overjoyed.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhang Kuishan immediately revealed the process of Jinyiwei's investigation to Zhu Cihong.

Zhu Cihong listened with relish.

"It was actually related to Qian Qianyi's wife Liu Ru? And Dong Xiaowan? Is this woman one of Qin Huai's Bayan? "Zhu Cihong is very interested, Qin Huai Bayan in the late Ming Dynasty is famous in history, and all of them are rare strange women, Zhu Cihong still has some impressions, especially this Dong Xiaowan, she is not only beautiful, the most important thing is that she learned the cooking skills later, almost the entire late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, known as one of the top ten famous chefs in history, invented many classic dishes that have been handed down to future generations, this is what Zhu Cihong is most interested in.

"The emperor also knows that Qin Huai Bayan, the emperor will not be interested in this Dong Xiaowan, he can get into the emperor's eyes, this Dong Xiaowan is also blessed." Zhang Kuishan smiled, he didn't mean to look down on these famous prostitutes, after all, they were all hard-working women.

Zhu Cihong did not deny that he was an emperor, but also a hot-blooded man, how could he not be curious when he found a strange woman who was not only beautiful, but also one of the top ten famous chefs in history.

It turned out that the reason why Jinyiwei was able to find the red lady was because Dong Xiaowan went to Liu Ru to help inquire about Li Yan a few days ago, Liu Ru and Dong Xiaowan are good sisters who have known each other for many years, and when Dong Xiaowan wanted to redeem herself half a year ago, if it wasn't for Liu Ru is help, the old bustard in the Qinglou would not let go of Dong Xiaowan's cash cow.

And Liu Ru was Qian Qianyi's steproom, Dong Xiaowan found her, pleaded many times, Liu Ru agreed to help, and asked her husband Qian Qianyi to inquire on her behalf, so that she attracted the attention of Jinyiwei, and finally found the whereabouts of the red lady in an inn, and learned that the red lady would go to Dong Xiaowan today.

"You immediately lead the Jinyi Guards to bring people to me, remember, don't hurt people." Zhu Cihong commanded.

"Obey." Zhang Kuishan smiled ambiguously, but he misinterpreted Zhu Cihong's meaning, which is a later story.

In the city of Nanjing, it is only a few miles away from the Qinhuai River on the shore of Xuanwu Lake.

Two servants came to a small bamboo building with a suave boy in green shirts.

"Young master, this is where Miss Xiaowan is staying now." One of the little servants pointed to Xiao Zhulou and said to the boy in green shirt with a flattering face.

"Smack!" When the young man in the green shirt heard this, he excitedly slapped the folding fan of the lady in his hand into the palm of his hand, and said excitedly: "Okay, you two have done a good job, and the young master will definitely be rewarded when he returns home." ”

"Young Master Xie!" The two little guys were immediately overjoyed.

After carefully tidying up the clothes on his body, the young man in the green shirt walked towards the door of the small bamboo building with a smile that he thought was graceful.

"May I ask if Miss Xiaowan is here, I came to visit in Xiamao!" The boy in the green shirt shouted in a gentle voice to the small bamboo building as much as possible.

Yes, this suave boy in a green shirt is known as one of the four sons of Nanjing, and the small bamboo floor is lived by a woman named Dong Xiaowan and one of her maidservants.

Dong Xiaowan was originally one of the eight Yan of Qin Huai who was famous all over the world, and half a year ago he redeemed himself after saving enough silver and lived in seclusion here.

Although Mao Bijiang is a talented man, but he is also a merry boy, he likes to be nostalgic for Qinglou, two years ago, he met Dong Xiaowan who was just popular all over the Qinhuai River, and it was love at first sight for the beautiful and moving Dong Xiaowan, and he has repeatedly proposed to accept Dong Xiaowan as a concubine, but the falling flowers are intentionally ruthless, although the beauty is a famous prostitute, but she has a lot of integrity in her heart, and she does not want to be a concubine, so she rejected the proposal of Mao Bijiang. I admired more and more in my heart, and I became more determined to accept Dong Xiaowan as a concubine.

Dong Xiaowan was annoyed, but she was helpless about Mao Bijiang's stalking, in the past two years, she avoided the important and trivialized, tried to keep a distance from Mao Bijiang, and after redeeming herself half a year ago, she lived in seclusion, and disappeared from Mao Bijiang's sight. Mao Bijiang was very disappointed, but he also never gave up, and kept inquiring about Dong Xiaowan's news.

Hard work pays off, half a month ago, Dong Xiaowan and the maidservant went out to buy daily necessities, but they met a few gentlemen on the road, and they happened to be bumped into by Mao Bijiang, and a scene of heroes saving beauty was about to be born.

In history, Mao Bijiang was injured in this heroic rescue of the United States, and then finally succeeded in winning the beauty of the touch, and was able to include the beauty in the backyard, become his concubine, and enjoy the blessings of all people.

However, history has changed slightly, the hero has been replaced by someone else, and the credit for saving the beauty has not been obtained, but in the subsequent entanglement, the hero who saved the beauty was slapped as a gentleman.

"Miss, that impostor is really hateful, he actually got entangled here, disturbing the purity that Miss had so hard won." In the small bamboo building, a maid in a green dress said to Dong Xiaowan beside her with an angry face.

"Mao Gongzi has some perseverance, and people are not bad." Dong Xiaowan had a little helpless voice, gentle and beautiful.

Dong Xiaowan was cleaning vegetables with the little maid beside her, a light cyan gauze skirt outlined a perfect curve, although she had been a famous prostitute, her beautiful face was beautiful, but she revealed a quiet temperament, her skin was shiny and fair, but she was a rare beauty.

Since the redemption came out, Dong Xiaowan has gradually become obsessed with cooking, and her cooking skills have improved in the past six months, almost comparable to the chef of a big restaurant.

"Miss, you won't really be moved by the stalking of this young man, he already has six wives and concubines, and he still comes to be a cheap young lady, if the young lady agrees to him, then what about Hong Gongzi who saved the young lady that day, I think Hong Gongzi is much stronger than Mao Gongzi." The little maid thought that her young lady was moved by the merry boy brother Mao Bijiang, and she was so anxious that she couldn't do it.

"What nonsense!" Dong Xiaowan glanced at the little maid beside her, but thinking of the Hong Gongzi that day, Dong Xiaowan couldn't help but feel her heart pounding, and her cheeks were slightly flushed.

Thinking of that day, when the dirty hands of one of the gentlemen were about to touch her face, the handsome and unparalleled Hong Gongzi fell from the sky, grabbed her waist with one hand to avoid the dirty hands of the gentleman, and kicked the gentleman to the ground, so heroic, that girl, are you okay, the warm and shyy voice, the free smile, the clear expression, without the slightest frivolity of other men, at that moment, Dong Xiaowan's heart instantly fell into it, unable to extricate himself.

The white jade hand swayed on the surface of the wooden basin, and the light of the water seemed to dye her jade hand with a charming luster.

"Xiao Wan, I know you must be inside, I'll wait until you come out to see me." Outside the small bamboo building, there was a sound of daring again.

"Miss, what if this presumptuous boy is afraid that he is going to stay downstairs and not leave, do you want the little maid to blow them away!" The little maid was fierce, picked up a wooden stick that she usually washes, opened her smart eyes wide, and tried to make a little murderous, almost not amusing Dong Xiaowan.

"Forget it, Qiao'er, I'll go out and see for myself." Dong Xiaowan sighed helplessly, he took the risk of pestering her for two years, his temper, Dong Xiaowan is still clear, if he doesn't see her, he will definitely not leave, but it's a pity that this quiet life will be disturbed again from now on.

Dong Xiaowan opened the door of the small bamboo building and walked out, the little maid was not at ease, and followed out with a wooden stick.

Outside the door, Mao Bijiang saw that the door of Xiaozhulou was opened, and a pair of eyes suddenly stared at Dong Xiaowan's fair and beautiful cheeks without blinking, and his handsome face was so excited that his handsome face was red.

"Xiao Wan, I knew you wouldn't see me." Mao Bijiang said, and he was about to grab Dong Xiaowan's white jade hand.

"Mao Gongzi, please respect yourself." Dong Xiaowan frowned and quickly avoided it.

Mao Bijiang realized that he had abruptly abruptly beautied, and immediately smiled awkwardly and took his hand back.

"Xiao Wan, your little bamboo building is elegant and chic, don't you invite me to come in and sit down?" Mao Bijiang said cheekily.

Dong Xiaowan's beautiful eyelashes trembled, and her eyes were seductive, but she was helpless, her red lips rose lightly, and she couldn't help but plead: "Mao Gongzi, Xiaowan thank you Gongzi for taking care of her in the past two years, but Xiaowan and Gongzi have been fated, I just want to live quietly in this clean little bamboo building, please don't disturb Xiaowan in the future, okay." ”

Dong Xiaowan likes to be pure, since she was sold into the Qinglou at the age of six, twelve years of laughing career, has long made her extremely tired of the kind of involuntary uneasiness, in the past two years, in fact, if it wasn't for the care of Mao Bijiang, she would probably have become the plaything of the powerful official a long time ago, she is very grateful to Mao Bijiang, but it does not mean that she is willing to be accepted by Mao Bijiang to the backyard, and compete for favor with his group of wives and concubines, she knows very well that her beauty will inevitably suffer from jealousy, that kind of grayness in the backyard is not much better than the Qinglou at all.

"Xiao Wan, it's been two years, don't you still understand my intentions, I treat you sincerely, I swear, as long as you promise to marry me, I will definitely live up to you." Mao Bijiang said very sincerely.

Dong Xiaowan never believed in this kind of words, as one of Qin Huai Bayan, not only one person, but also many merry sons and brothers of wealthy families, and even some officials in the court, in order to get her, which one did not promise her so much, but including Mao Bijiang, which one has not been a group of wives and concubines, and those beautiful wives and concubines have never received such a promise before they married into the door, and what now, it is not for her Dong Xiaowan to say such words.

"Mao Gongzi, Xiao Wan thanks Gongzi for his love, Xiao Wan can become an ordinary confidant with Gongzi, but I forgive Xiaowan for not being able to agree to Gongzi's request, Gongzi should please go back." Dong Xiaowan said resolutely.

"Xiao Wan, how can you do this, it hurts my heart so much." Seeing Dong Xiaowan so resolute, Mao Bijiang was very sad, but how could Mao Bijiang be such a person who gave up so easily, the Mao family is also a scholar clan, and the power in the court is not weak, Mao Bijiang is the eldest son of the Mao family, if he wants to use the strong, Dong Xiaowan will never escape, but he is conceited that he is a gentleman, and he will not be like this, but he has perseverance, and he believes that Dong Xiaowan will be moved by him one day.

Dong Xiaowan was extremely helpless, she couldn't get rid of it, so she insisted on going in and sitting, she didn't know what to do.

"Hey! Where did the disciples come from, and the people and girls who molested came to the door of people's homes. A neutral voice came.

I saw a beautiful man dressed in white with two equally beautiful attendants walking towards the small bamboo building, if you look closely at the throats of these three people, you can find that although they have an Adam's apple, but the strange thing is that when they speak, the Adam's apple actually does not move, it is obviously fake, these three beautiful sons should be dressed as women.

"Young Master Hong!" Dong Xiaowan was overjoyed and shouted at the beautiful boy who took the lead.
