When the clerk came to Yunzhou from Gushan Town, he congratulated Li Mao when he saw him, and Li Mao smiled bitterly: "Where does the joy come from, I am in a cage this time." ”

The clerk twisted three locks of beard in his hand, shook his head and said: "Blessings and misfortunes are lurking, misfortunes and blessings are relied on, blessings and disasters are only between one thought, and the mystery is mysterious." ”

After joking, he restrained his smile and said: "You don't have to look at things too gloomy, you are not from a good background, even if you can climb to the top, this time you have made such a contribution, how do you want him to reward you?" Now he has only stripped you of your military power, but the position of the deputy envoy of the Qing Navy is still retained, so that you can stay in the government and listen to it, this is to test you nearby, if you can withstand the test, the road in the future will definitely be wider and wider. Seeing that Li Mao was still worried, he comforted him again: "Although the minister is strict, he is a person with clear rewards and punishments, and people who are really willing to do things and can do things can have a bright future." Like you and me, who have been put into another book, if you are not so flattering, I am afraid that there will never be a day. ”

At the end of last year, Li Shigu was given the title of Pingzhang and became one of the few envoys in the Tang Dynasty, and the honorific title of those close to him was changed from the previous Sikong to Xianggong. The clerk is not Li Shigu's cronies, but he is so affectionate that he puts himself in the position of a cronie, and if he wants to be favored by his boss, he must show his closeness first. Seeing that the clerk had changed so quickly, Li Mao cried out in admiration in his heart, and said: "I'm just a little unwilling, is the good Qing Navy just gone?" ”

The clerk smiled: "This is already the best result, although the person has been dismantled, everyone's fate is not bad, if you follow the temperament of Shang Helai, at this moment you and I are rotten bones in the grave, how can you still sit here and sigh the past and the present." Speaking of this, the clerk said: "Actually, you and I should be grateful to General Yu, if he hadn't wronged himself, we wouldn't have today." Hate only hate, close at hand but can't see each other. ”

Li Mao said: "Leave it for another day." There will be opportunities in the future. At the time of parting, the clerk encouraged Li Mao again: "Among us people, your foundation is the cleanest, and the most capable, the greatest achievement in the future must be you, the day you become famous, don't forget those of us who came out of Gushan Town together, can take care of the place and take care of it." ”

After receiving this encouragement, Li Mao was in a good mood, and within a day, Zhou Hong rushed to Yunzhou from Gushan Town. Under the supervision of the military government representatives Yan Su and Zhou Hong, Li Mao and the new town envoy Li Yingtan made a delivery at the Golden Monkey Pass, the delivery has been completed, and a banquet was held to reward the three armies, during the banquet I heard that Li Mao sent seven carts of gold beads to his home, Yan Yan secretly scolded Jia bluntly that the black heart was more greedy than him, but on the other hand, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and encouraged a cadre of generals to toast Li Mao desperately, Li Mao couldn't withstand the endless wheel war even if it was massive, and finally lost in the melee and fainted completely.

Early in the morning of the second day, he woke up from a hangover, and touched a plump girl with smooth skin at the tentacles, taking off the slightest bit, and snuggling up to himself to sleep, a green jade arm crossed Li Mao's lower abdomen, and the name of the Qing Navy Huanyi Courtyard was marked on the wrist, Li Mao recognized at a glance that this was the top girl in the Huanyi Courtyard in Gushan Town, Li Mao had appreciated her singing and dancing, was infatuated with her ten thousand styles, and had lust for her graceful and delicate body more than once, but never touched her fingers.

There is a complete system of camp prostitutes in the Tang Army, camp prostitutes follow the camp in the name of female workers in the Huanyi Academy, sew and mend clothes and armor during the day and do some chores, and arrange classes after night. According to the convention, the most popular head card naturally belongs to the highest commander to enjoy, Li Mao does not touch, and no one dares to touch, the name of the head card of Shi Lianqing is widely questioned, this time seeing Li Mao to leave, Shi Lianqing bought the deacon in the army and vowed to take Li Mao down to prove his name, which is why there is this fragrant scene.

Li Mao gently moved her arm, picked up her clothes, and left the house as if she were running away.

……

Yunzhou is the capital of Ziqing Road, the scale of the city is huge, it is by no means comparable to Gushan Town and Chengwu City, it is much more open than Cao, Yan and Pu, the Yunzhou area is rich in grain and rice, and there are the benefits of salt and iron, under the operation of the Li family in Yingzhou for many years, the people are relatively rich. One of the great advantages of being an official in Yunzhou is that the benefits are high, especially the officials of the three shogunates, who can receive a generous settling-in allowance at the beginning of their tenure, and can buy an independent courtyard with three entrances and three exits in Yunzhou City, where every inch of land is valuable.

Li Mao is not short of money to buy a house, not to mention three in and three out, buying a five-in and five-out courtyard is also a piece of cake. Of course, there is no reason not to want the money sent to you. After receiving this money, Li Mao was looking for a suitable house in the city, Zheng Xiaozhang, Hu Nanxiang, Chang Mucang, Mao Taigong, Qingmo and Mo Qi Shentong, Chang Heqing, Shi Kong, these people all gave up a good place to go, and followed Li Mao to Yunzhou.

This day to find a day of unsuccessful, just back to the rented inn, there are two burly and majestic, heroic young people to visit, the two of them reported that the family said that it was the Jiedu Embassy with the army, the square-faced name is Li Ru, the long-faced one is called Han Mo, and the order of the hero of the capital Yaxue came to invite Li Mao to stay in the Jiedu Mansion Mansion.

Li Mao's current identity is the deputy envoy of the Qing Navy, and his position is to listen to the dispatch in the military government, which is a position without any specific charge.

It has been ten days since he came to Yunzhou, Li Mao went to Jiefu twice a day in the morning and evening, and the rest of the time he stayed in an inn in a neighboring neighborhood to standby.

Li Mao, the hero of the Yaxue Mansion, has only met once, and he is the chief of the military government, and he is also Li Mao's nominal boss. Li Ru and the two brought twenty soldiers, with two mule carts and twenty flat poles, when everyone was carrying their luggage, Li Mao asked Li Ru when he could enter the mansion to see Xue Yingying, but he asked casually, but Li Ru replied seriously: "Don't worry, Dutou has occasionally felt cold recently, and he is recuperating at home. ”

Xue Yingying was ill, and Li Mao felt the need to visit. Guo Liang did give Li Mao fifteen carts of gold beads, Li Mao did not accept them, Guo Liang changed his words and said that it was a dowry for his sister Guo Ren, after Li Mao was detained in the festival mansion, Mo Qi Shentong took out fourteen carts of gold beads and gave them to Jia Zhiyan and Yan Kun respectively, Yan Kun's order was all accepted, Jia Zhiyan's share only left a few calligraphy and painting antiques, and the rest all retreated, Li Mao picked a few things from them and took them to Xue Yingying's house.

To Li Mao's surprise, Xue Yingying's house only had two courtyards, the gatehouse was extremely small, and the paint on the gate was peeling, which looked very shabby, Qingmo asserted: "This generation must be a huge greed." Mo Qi said with a smile: "If it is a huge greedy family, how can it be so shabby? Qingmo said with a smile: "This is called the real is false, the virtual is real, it is because the family is too rich, so they deliberately pretend to have no money." Don't believe you look at his family. After knocking on the door, the person who answered the door was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old beautiful concubine, although she was dressed in a cloth and hairpin, the style between her eyebrows and eyes was wave after wave in the hearts of the three of them.

Qingmo secretly smashed Mo Qi's magical powers, squeezed his eyebrows and said, "How is it, a beautiful concubine in the family is worth a thousand gold?" ”

When Xue Yingying heard that Li Mao was visiting, he greeted him when he was sick, and looked at the gift given by Li Mao under the corridor several times while speaking. Hearing that Li Mao had not yet found a suitable house, he immediately called the housekeeper and instructed him to accompany Li Mao to find it the next day.

Coming out of Xue Yingying's house, Qingmo was a little angry, and said: "I didn't expect Lao Er to be so greedy, to accept such a heavy gift from us, without telling the truth, and to slaughter us." Mo Qi couldn't understand what he meant, Qingmo said: "If you look at his eyes, you know that he is a greedy person, this time he asked the housekeeper to help Brother Mao find a house, why not shoddy and slaughter him fiercely?" Only then did he suddenly realize that he looked at Li Mao, and Li Mao smiled faintly and said, "Tomorrow I will go find some masons and prepare to repair my new home." ”

Xue Yingying's housekeeper only took one day to help Li Mao find a satisfactory house, as Qingmo expected, the quality and price were high, and the price was negotiated, and the housekeeper helped contact Fang Guanli to testify and sign the paperwork and deliver the contract.

slaughtered Li Mao ruthlessly, the housekeeper was full of joy, and rushed back to the house to ask Xue Yingying for credit, Xue Yingying asked the beginning and the end, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea, and said with satisfaction: "It's quite sensible." Prepare the horse, so-and-so's illness is cured. Xue Yingying rode to the Jiedu Embassy Mansion, went directly to Gao Mu, and said: "There is a lack of a steward in the small pine forest in the eastern suburbs, Li Mao has been in the mansion for more than ten days, and he wanders around the city every day. Gao Mu said with a smile: "It should be so, it's just that the deputy envoy of the Qing Navy went to the suburbs to guard the hunting grounds, I'm afraid it will cause criticism." Xue Yingying said: "The internal army is lacking a superintendent, let him hang the superintendent's sign, and it will be difficult for others to say anything." Gao Mu said: "Very good, in the afternoon, a certain person will tell the father-in-law." ”
