Chapter 110: Dowry

After a while, Li came over to Li Zicheng's side, bowed his head slightly, and said, "My lord, the matter has been dealt with properly, and there is no dispute among the brothers." ”

"That's good!" Li Zicheng's body did not move, he knew that once these handmaidens were divided, the soldiers would definitely not be able to wait, they were all soldiers, and there was no need for special ceremonies, at this moment, I am afraid that if you find a house at random, it will be a new house, there are many houses in the Great Tusi Mansion, and it should not be a problem for each person to have a new house.

"My lord, these women...... They're going to enter the fruit building anyway......" Li Guo whispered to Li Zicheng's ear.

"These women...... The brothers are doing well today, there are no people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, so let's do it, I will give each of them a monthly ticket for war merits today," Li Zicheng saw Li Guo's anxious appearance, and said with a smile: "But the brothers who are on duty must be arranged, if something goes wrong, don't say that there is no place for you in the fruit building in the future, and you will be punished heavily!" ”

"The subordinates understand that the subordinates will arrange for the soldiers to be on duty, and they will not make mistakes." Li Guozhi wanted to assign rooms to the women, but was stopped by Li Zicheng, "Wait! ”

Li Zicheng set his eyes on the Song family, she seemed to be a submissive woman, the second lady was taken away by Chen Jiu, but there was not much sadness, her eyes were introverted at the moment, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Mrs. Song, since you are going to enter the Teaching Workshop Division, today is the beginning, get ready, I will arrange for you to enter your respective bedrooms, but it will be hard for you at night."

"My lord," Song raised his distracted gaze, "Do all the people here want to enter the Sect Division?" ”

"Of course, they are all the families of the convicts, as for the maidservants, I have been gracious and married them to the soldiers, and I have given them a way out, you relatives of the convicts, even if you want to help, you can't do anything, even if you are a lady, you can't escape such a fate."

"My lord," Song suddenly knelt forward and prostrated in front of Li Zicheng, "The prisoner is old, let the adult deal with it, the prisoner only asks the adult to be kind and accept the prisoner's butterfly." ”

"Butterfly?" Li Zicheng was stunned, "Who is Die'er?" Seeing that Song was holding a young lady's hand, he realized that it was her daughter.

Die'er is only thirteen or fourteen years old, except for a hairpin phoenix on her head, there are a lot of wild flowers, her face is tender, fairer than the people nearby, and she is so ashamed that she lies in her mother's arms at this time, and she can't see her figure.

"My lord, Die'er is a warm person who knows the family, if you accept Die'er, you will be a prisoner...... The prisoner would give a dowry. ”

"Dowry? What dowry? Li Zicheng smiled, "Could it be that Mrs. Song still has any family property to hide from me?" ”

"My lord," Song hesitated for a moment, then stood up abruptly, as if making a major decision, "Can the prisoner say a word to the adult alone?" ”

"Bold!" He Xiaomi shouted, his right hand was already pressed on the hilt of the knife, Song was so frightened that he was suffixed, and with the help of the third lady's body, he barely stabilized.

"Xiaomi, step back first, be careful to scare Madame," Li Zicheng said with a smile, and then looked at Li Guo on the side, "Shuangxi will take them down first, so that they can be settled." ”

"Yes, sir." Li Guo grinned, took the rest of the women to the next door one by one, and began to allocate a bedroom for night rest.

"Mrs. Song, what do you have to say, can you say it now?" Only Li Zicheng and Song's mother and daughter were left in the room, and Li Zicheng was not worried that Song would become an assassin, even if he killed himself, they would never escape the punishment of the soldiers.

"Your Excellency...... If the adults take the butterfly as a slave and a slave, the prisoner will be a woman...... The convict women will hand over the register of all the tenants of the Great Toast House. Song had no bottom in his heart, and after finishing speaking, he lowered his head, like a criminal waiting for the verdict.

"We have already started to register the population, and these rosters can only be used as a reference at most," Li Zicheng looked at Song's expression, knowing that she must be hiding something, and further persecuted: "Mrs. Song, such a worthless roster will let Lord Ben have a great deal to do to save the third miss, Mrs. This is too serious about the happiness and life of the third miss, right?" ”

"You ......" Song's water-clear eyes glared at Li Zicheng fiercely, and when he met Li Zicheng's eyes that could accommodate all things like Buddha's light, he was quickly defeated.

"Mother, we don't ask for him, it's a big deal for my daughter......" The third lady secretly poked out the head of the mantis from her mother's arms, glanced at Li Zicheng, and met Li Zicheng's gaze, she trembled with fright, quickly retracted it, and buried the head of the mantis into her mother's chest like an ostrich.

Song stroked the third lady's back to reassure her, and sorted out her thoughts, and said, "My lord, big toast...... When Da Tusi was alive, he once robbed the Tao of a merchant in the Western Regions, got ten Lu Gong guns, and buried them in Hutou Mountain," Seeing Li Zicheng's indifferent look, he continued: "There are five hundred taels of gold buried with Lu Ting. ”

"Boom? Gold? Li Zicheng came to his senses a little at this time, and couldn't help but wonder, between the Western Regions and the Ming Dynasty, isn't the Hexi Corridor a shortcut? Then he asked: "When the merchants of the Western Regions came to Daming, how could they go to Hutou Mountain?" ”

"Da Tusi met the merchants of the Western Regions on the bank of Huangshui, and they came to Daming to go south of Qilian Mountain."

Li Zicheng then remembered that now the Hexi Corridor is still under the control of the Ming Dynasty, but outside the Hexi, surrounded by strong enemies, the Ming Dynasty is unable to expel it at all, so he closed the Jiayu Pass to defend himself, and rejected this most convenient trade route.

"They go south of the mountains, but they go south along the West Sea and Huangshui?"

"This ...... The guilty woman really didn't know, "Song saw that Li Zicheng was not interested in Lu Gong and gold, but he inquired about the road, and beat a rattle in his heart, not knowing if her wishful thinking could leave a bright road for her daughter."

"Ao," Li Zicheng thought for a moment and said, "Do you know where the gold is buried?" ”

"The burial map is here," Song took out a folded white paper from his left cuff, "The Great Toast is going to exchange some war horses with the Mongolian Master Mailigan in the next few days, so the prisoner woman has brought it with her." ”

"McLigan?" Which Mongolian tribe leader is this, Li Zicheng didn't know, took the paper, turned around and handed it to He Xiaomi, "Immediately lead the brothers to dig out the lulu and gold overnight." ”

Seeing that Li Zicheng immediately went to fetch the lulu and gold, Song Shi was a little calm, and his face was much more relaxed, "My lord, you accepted the dowry, and the butterfly of the prisoner ......"

"Madame, you believe in Lord Ben like that?" Li Zicheng looked at the Song family unscrupulously, although she was over thirty years old, because she was extremely well maintained, the skin on her face was still tender, and she was with the second and third misses, she was completely like a sister, and her eyes were much deeper, her face was fuller, and there was a kind of affinity, "If Lord Ben accepts the dowry, but she doesn't recognize people in a blink of an eye, what should Mrs. do?" ”

"No," Song shook his head slightly, and his deep gaze swept over Li Zicheng's face, "The adult is young, but he has a detached bearing, and he is in a high position, and the prisoner wife can be trusted, from the cicada's body, from the time when the adult gave Chen Jiu, the scum silver, the prisoner woman can see it," a faint smile appeared on her face, "Don't say that Die'er is now the family of the criminal official, even if the big toast is still there, marrying an adult, it will not disgrace my family Die'er." ”

Li Zicheng estimated that Cicada was the name of the second lady, and he gave Cicada to Chen Jiu, completely for the purpose of entrapment, to naturalize the natives, it was natural to establish a model like Chen Jiu, and he appeared to speak, which was much more effective than the big sword and war horse, and it was easy to regain the hearts of the natives.

He secretly screamed ashamed in his heart, but said in his mouth: "Mrs. has won the award, and Miss Die'er is also very likable, if I had seen it earlier, I might not have proposed to the big toast." ”

"My lord has raised the butterfly," at this moment, Song's hanging heart was really put back into his chest, "My lord, the night is dark...... I don't know ......."

"I'll rest here tonight, Madame will pack up first, and I'll go around and I'll be back later." He Xiaomi went to Hutou Mountain, and Li Zicheng had to take his own soldiers, Ren Erxi and Lei Wanjun, to Zhuangzhong to investigate.

Song smiled gratefully, since Die'er wants to marry Li Zicheng, she must have a round house tonight, Die'er is still young and doesn't understand anything, she naturally has to explain as a mother, Li Zicheng went to the village to inspect, in fact, it was to give them time to be alone, and she added some good feelings to Li Zicheng's opinion: This man is really considerate! He turned around and dragged his daughter into the inner chamber and began to preach for life.

Li Zicheng came out of the backyard, suddenly a spring blossom, the wind came from the breath, tonight's big Tusi Mansion, a murmuring sound, the sound of the sound is endless, he unconsciously shook his head and smiled bitterly, fortunately, the guards in the house are quite tight, from time to time bumped into the soldiers hidden in the shadows.

When he returned to the backyard, the Song family had already settled the bedroom, Li Zicheng's bedroom was on the innermost side, and the outer room separated by a wall was the Song family's simple small bed, and then to the outside, it was the hall where they were just now, with both chairs and two wooden beds, which were naturally prepared for the soldiers who kept vigil.

When Li Zicheng walked through the Song family's bedroom, the Song family was already waiting, she lowered her head and said softly: "My lord, the butterfly is still young, the adults have mercy!" ”

"Madame, don't worry, I have my own measure," Li Zicheng smiled slightly, "What about Die'er?" Went to the inner room? ”

"Hmm!" Song didn't raise his head, just snorted lightly.

Li Zicheng waved his hand, made a good night gesture, and nodded at Song to reassure her, and then swaggered into the inner room.

Two wrist-thick red candles should have been specially prepared by the Song family, Die'er's big day, no relatives and friends to congratulate, and even sneaky, she can only use red candles to add a little festive color to the new house.

The interior is quite elegant, in addition to a complete set of furniture, cabinets, chairs and stools, even the quilt on the bed is satin, I don't know whose bedroom it was, there is a string of metal wind chimes hanging in front of the window on the left side, if there is a windy day, the wind chimes will make a pleasant impact sound, but now the window is closed, only when Li Zicheng came in, with a hint of breeze, the wind chimes shook gently, making a trace of jingle sound.

Li Zicheng suddenly found that the scene he imagined of the bride wearing a red hijab and sitting on the edge of the bed waiting for the groom did not appear as scheduled, and there was no butterfly in the inner room.
