As one of the most famous green buildings in the capital, the Jade Building naturally will not let the guests wait for a long time, and soon a group of young and beautiful girls entered the private room, smiling next to Li Hongyu and others, and very obediently accompanied everyone to talk and laugh, pour tea and massage the massage.

Zhao Xin is woman is naturally not used to letting the girl from the Qinglou serve so intimately, so she raised her hand to stop the woman who wanted to massage her legs, and asked her to pour tea on the side.

This made the woman's face suddenly appear disappointed, when she entered the door, she took a fancy to Zhao Xin, the most handsome of the people present, and wanted to tease Zhao Xin and go to Wushan at night**, but Zhao Xin's performance was so cold, so that her hopes came to naught.

With Zhao Xin by his side, Li Hongyu naturally wouldn't be too close to the Qinglou woman, so like Zhao Xin, he kept a certain distance from the women around him, how could he laugh at other women in front of his fiancée?

The wine and food were served, and Fang Yun beckoned everyone to toast Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin, celebrating the two of them for solving a murder case in Shanxi, which can be said to have greatly lengthened the faces of the people of Huguangju.

After learning that Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin were Xie Yuan and Ya Yuan of the Huguang Township Test, the woman sitting next to the two suddenly became more attentive, which also made the other Qinglou women feel envious and jealous about this.

After all, the young, handsome and talented scholar is the favorite of the women in the Qinglou, and the most popular in the Qinglou is the bridge section of the talented and beautiful woman, and if they take the line of Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin, they will have one more way out in the future, no one wants to, and it is impossible to stay in the Jade House for the rest of their lives.

It's a pity that Li Hongyu already has Zhao Xin, Qin Yue, and Rou'er, and Zhao Xin is by his side, so it is naturally impossible to be tempted by the Qinglou woman next to him.

As for Zhao Xin, she has no interest in women at all, so she will be indifferent if she lets the Qinglou women around her do her best.

Halfway through the drinking party, Fang Yun went out under the pretext of going to the toilet, and when he came back, there was an extra middle-aged man with a rich clothes and a big belly.

"Brother Li, Brother Zhao, this is Boss Meng from Changsha, who came to the capital to do business this time, and came to toast the two after learning that the two brothers were here." Fang Yun smiled and introduced the pot-bellied middle-aged man beside him to Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin.

"Li Xie Yuan and Zhao Yayuan, who have admired their names for a long time, now that they see that the two of them are really worthy of their reputations, they are really young and handsome." Boss Meng smiled when he heard this, and opened his mouth to compliment Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin.

"Boss Meng is polite, we just won Brother Fang and other Huguang Shizi in the township test, I really don't dare to call it 'Junjie'."

Li Hongyu smiled when he heard this, waved his hand to Boss Meng disapprovingly, and then said with a smile, "It's better to meet by chance, since I met Boss Meng here, then Boss Meng doesn't know whether to sit down with a face." ”

Li Hongyu definitely didn't believe that he and Boss Meng had a "chance encounter", and it was Fang Yun who wanted the other party to get to know him, so he naturally wanted to give Fang Yun this face.

"Since Li Jieyuan has spoken, it is better to be respectful than to obey his fate." Boss Meng was immediately overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly responded with a smile.

Seeing this situation, Fang Yun, who was originally sitting next to Li Hongyu, immediately gave up his seat to Boss Meng, and the people on the side made room for Fang Yun with interest.

Li Hongyu couldn't help but smile, it seemed that the relationship between Fang Yun and Boss Meng seemed to be very good, Boss Meng must have made a lot of bets on Fang Yun, once Fang Yun was named on the gold list, then he would definitely receive a rich reward.

As a businessman, but also a successful businessman, Boss Meng is very talkative, in addition to complimenting Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin, he chatted with everyone about the customs and folklore of various places, and it can be seen that he has been to many places in Daming when he was doing business.

From Boss Meng's words, Li Hongyu soon knew that he was engaged in the fabric business, and he was a famous cloth merchant in Changsha City, and he couldn't help but smile slightly in his heart, no wonder Boss Meng would spare no effort to find this place through Fang Yun.

Ordinary people would definitely not think that those new dyes were related to Li Hongyu, but a big cloth merchant like Boss Meng would definitely be able to find out and know that those new dyes were related to him.

After all, when Li Hongyu tinkered with those new dyes, he didn't know that his imperial examination journey would be so smooth, and he was actually admitted to Xie Yuan in the Huguang Township Examination, otherwise he would definitely be more careful.

However, it doesn't matter if Boss Meng knows about Li Hongyu's relationship with those new dyes, speaking of which, Li Hongyu just made those dyes and didn't run a business.

After three rounds and five flavors, the door of the private room creaked open, and Aunt Xue led two pure and beautiful young women in.

"Boss Meng, the Qingqi people you want have brought." Under the gaze of everyone, Aunt Xue came to Boss Meng's side with a smile and pulled the two young and beautiful women who followed behind him in front of him.

"I've met Boss Meng." The two Qingqi people immediately stepped forward and bowed to Boss Meng.

"Li Jieyuan and Zhao Yayuan, the two of you have drunk a lot of wine tonight, if it is too late to go back today, it is better to stay here at night." Boss Meng turned to Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin when he heard this, and said with a smile, "It is also their blessing that these two Qingqi people can serve the two masters. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Xin's willow eyebrows suddenly frowned slightly, and he couldn't help but look at Li Hongyu, you must know that she is Li Hongyu's genuine fiancée, how can she hope that Li Hongyu will stay in the Jade Building and stay with the Qing people for a while.

"Boss Meng's mind is understood, I can't hide it, my fiancée is by my side, she is a vinegar jar, if this matter reaches her, it will definitely turn the world upside down." Li Hongyu naturally noticed Zhao Xin's slightly frowning willow eyebrows, so he smiled and said to Zhao Xin.

At this moment, no one except Li Hongyu knew that he was a pun, and everyone else thought that the "fiancée" in his mouth referred to Qin Yue, but in fact it was Zhao Xin on the side.

"Boss Meng, I'm really sorry, I have to prepare for the exam quietly before the next exam." Zhao Xin breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and then smiled and declined Boss Meng's kindness, if Li Hongyu chose to have a spring breeze with the Qing people, she would feel extremely disappointed.

"Boss Meng, what Li Jieyuan said is the truth, Li Jieyuan's fiancée was with him when he took the township exam in Wuchang City, and now he has come to the capital."

At this time, Fang Yun looked at Boss Meng with a smile and explained that in fact, he had already guessed this result, after all, they had been together for such a long time, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin were not lustful people at all.

In fact, Fang Yun was a little suspicious that Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin had a habit of breaking their sleeves, after all, the two were too close, it was difficult not to make people think about it, I am afraid that he would never have imagined that Zhao Xin, who called everyone a brother, would be a woman.

"It's me who is abrupt." Boss Meng couldn't help but reach out and pat his forehead when he heard this, and then waved his hand to Aunt Xue with a smile, and Aunt Xue led the two Qingqi people to retreat, anyway, his heart has arrived, and whether Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin accept it is another matter.

Since all the gates of the capital will be closed at night, and they will not be opened unless they are ordained, Li Hongyu will definitely not be able to return to the inner city, so after the banquet, he took a car with Zhao Xin and Fang Yun to the Huguang Guild Hall, where he stayed for one night.

Boss Meng and the rest of Hu Guang Juzi naturally sent the three of them to the front of the Jade Building, watched the carriage of the three people leave, and then smiled and smiled and the rest of Hu Guang Juzi continued to have fun in the Jade Building, and was very satisfied with the meeting with Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin tonight, and they could slowly talk about business matters in the future.

Li Hongyu guessed correctly, the reason why Boss Meng spent so much effort and spent so much money to tie up Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin, in addition to the unlimited career of the two of them, the other is that Li Hongyu controls the popular new dyes on the market, which is enough to have a fatal impact on the traditional dyeing industry of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Boss Meng must seize this golden opportunity to expand the scale of his business by uniting with Li Hongyu.

Although Li Hongyu is hiding behind the scenes, it is not difficult for Boss Meng to find him, after all, he is also a cloth merchant in Huguang, so he naturally has a connection with the cloth merchant in Xiangyang.

At midnight, the night is quiet.

"Two brothers, what do you think of the war in Liaodong?" In the driving carriage, Li Hongyu, who was talking and laughing, suddenly turned his words and asked Zhao Xin and Fang Yun quietly.

"Liaodong?" Zhao Xin and Fang Yun were slightly stunned when they heard this, and a look of surprise appeared on their faces, they didn't expect Li Hongyu to be interested in the war in Liaodong.

"As far as I know, the Jurchens have captured Fushun and Qinghe, and when they wanted to attack Shenyang and Liaoyang, they were defeated and retreated, and now the imperial court has mobilized reinforcements to support the official army in Liaodong, preparing to exterminate the Jurchens in one fell swoop."

Then, Fang Yun came back to his senses, thought about it and said to Li Hongyu in a deep voice, after all, he had been in the capital for a while, and Liaodong was close to the capital, so he had a certain understanding of the battle situation in Liaodong.

"Two, what will happen if the official army is defeated?" Li Hongyu pondered for a moment, looked at Zhao Xin and Fang Yun with a serious expression, and asked seriously.

"Defeated?" Zhao Xin and Fang Yun immediately glanced at each other in surprise when they heard this, in their opinion, the Jurchens in Liaodong were just barbarians on the frontier, how could they be the opponents of the Ming army.

What's more, the Wanli Dynasty fought three victories in succession, known as the three major expeditions, and the enemies in each of them were stronger than the Jurchens, but in the end they were not defeated by the Ming army.

Therefore, in the eyes of Zhao Xin and Fang Yun, the Ming army in Liaodong will definitely win a complete victory, and it is impossible to defeat at all.

"You two, do you dare to make a bet with me?" Li Hongyu knew that Zhao Xin and Fang Yun didn't take the Jurchens seriously, so he smiled and said, "I bet that the official army will be defeated in this Liaodong attack!" ”

"What's the stake?" Fang Yun's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't help but ask, he was quite confident in the official army.

"I also failed to gamble on the official attack." Without waiting for Li Hongyu to speak, Zhao Xin had already taken the lead in expressing her attitude, although she felt that it was difficult for the official army to be defeated, but since Li Hongyu was so sure, she naturally chose to believe Li Hongyu.

"If I win, I hope Brother Fang joins Donglin." When Li Hongyu heard this, an imperceptible smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, and he knew that Zhao Xin would be in the same camp as him, so he said to Fang Yun.

"Join Donglin?" At this moment, not only Fang Yun was stunned, but Zhao Xin also showed a surprised look on his face, not knowing why Li Hongyu would make such a strange bet.
