Chapter 18: The Drunken Golden Mansion (I)
Since Yuan Yunda saw Li Li again in Luoyang, he felt that this man had changed, at least now he was much more oily and no longer acted as upright as in the past, which was really frustrating.
Li Li sat down calmly, without a little weakness or discomfort on his face, but Yuan Yun was very unhappy when he looked at it.
Through invincible surveillance, Yuan Yun has learned that after Li Li received his post last night, he sent an entourage to climb over the city wall in the middle of the night and sneak out.
Yuan Yun knew very well what Li Li was doing, the number of people they reported was fifteen, and now the number of people who reported from the steward of the Drunken Gold Building was still fifteen, which means that Li Li replaced one person, and this bastard actually played the trick of stealing beams and changing pillars.
"Now that Ma Chao has returned to Xiliang, I wonder why Brother Li is still in Luoyang and refuses to leave?" Yuan Yun asked very directly, and even deliberately expressed displeasure.
Li Li laughed to relieve the embarrassment, and then hugged his fists and replied: "The matter of negotiating with Yuan Hou before has not been negotiated, how can this be done?" ”
Yuan Yun raised his eyebrows, his face suddenly sank, and said, "Brother Li thinks that Ben Hou is too kind, so it is very easy to deceive, so he dares to continue to talk to Ben Hou about business?" ”
Li Li was slightly stunned and said, "How can you deceive Yuan Hou, this is really unnecessary." ”
Yuan Yun's face became even more gloomy, and he squinted his eyes and said: "Ma Teng and Han Sui have already made an arrangement, the Han Sui family will take over the business routes in the Western Regions, and the Ma Teng family can expand to Hanzhong. ”
Li Li was stunned for an instant, his eyes kept flashing, as if it was really the first time he had heard about it, so he didn't know what to do at the moment.
Yuan Yun looked at Li Li's expression and was also stunned, because the other party's hesitant expression was not like a fake, could it be that Ma Chao really didn't tell Li Li about the deal with Han Sui?
It's wonderful, so it seems that Li Li hasn't been reused much in Ma Teng, because he hasn't even told him about this kind of thing, you can guess that Li Li is probably very hard to mix in Xiliang.
Quietly, Yuan Yun still had a cold face, and continued: "Since you have already negotiated with Han Sui, but Brother Li still came to ask Ben Hou to buy shares, the hearts of these two villains who take advantage of them are very boring."
Brother Li, Ben Hou respected you back then, so he kept your family from Chang'an, and now Brother Li plans to repay Ben Hou like this? ”
Speaking of this, Yuan Yun got up directly and left the table, and then shouted: "Send off!" ”
As for what kind of expression Li Li will have next, Yuan Yun has no time to guess, he has now made a new discovery, so he needs to lay another nail in Ma Teng, thinking about whether he can win Li Li over.
If Li Li is really not very reused on Ma Teng's side, then the probability of success in this matter is very high, after Li Li left Chang'an, people like him have basically become lonely ghosts, to survive in this era, you must find a big tree to rely on, maybe Li Li is like this, will take refuge in Ma Teng, after all, in addition to himself, there are many relatives behind him who need to be supported.
Now that Luoyang is Cao Ang's territory, it shouldn't be difficult to collect a Li Li, so the next thing is to see what means are used.
When he arrived at the study, Yuan Yun immediately beckoned Shi Shen to come over, and asked, "Are you going to meet the good friend of the Drunken Golden Building tonight......"
Poof!
Before Yuan Yun finished speaking, Shi Shen had already knelt down on one knee, his face directly touching the ground, and he completely looked like he was being beaten and punished.
"Hey, hey, hey, listen to Lao Tzu finish speaking."
Yuan Yun rolled his eyes, kicked Shi Shen again, and then continued: "I made an appointment with your friend tonight, just say that you want to have fun with your brothers, and then get a private room close to Li Li's floor, remember, don't say that the eldest marquis is also going to go." ”
Shi Shen was stunned for a moment, and said in confusion: "Is the lord going or not going?" ”
Syllable!
Yuan Yun knocked on the stone and sank, and then said angrily: "If Lao Tzu doesn't plan to go, why do you want to hide it?" ”
After a while, Shi Shen began to go to the backyard to contact his colleagues with a worried face, and then took a steward in the mansion to the Zuijin Building to book a room, just like Yuan Yun explained, the room booked was on the upper floor of Li Li's floor.
Yuan Yun returned to the inner house leisurely, and then beckoned Qing'er to come over, ready to dress up in disguise, after all, if he wears this set again, it is estimated that a discerning person will know his identity at a glance, so the jade pendant must be taken off, and the clothes must be changed into linen.
When Yuan Yun was being served by Qing'er to change his clothes, Liu Yiyi walked in, and when she saw Yuan Yun wearing linen clothes, she immediately wondered: "Where is Lang Jun going to change into such a set of clothes?" ”
Yuan Yun looked embarrassed, if he wanted to say that he would go to the Qinglou, he had been stuck in his throat, although he knew that men in this era were all high, and it was normal to go to the Qinglou occasionally, but when he faced his two wives, he couldn't do it with a clear conscience.
Liu Yiyi saw Yuan Yun's face, her eyes rolled, and she immediately smiled coquettishly: "Lang Jun is dressed so strangely, it can't be someone's young lady to find, right?" ”
Yuan Yun frowned, and before he could answer, he heard Qing'er, who was still sorting out his belt, shaking his head and saying, "The young master is going to Qinglou, and he has made an appointment with Shi Shen and them." ”
Liu Yiyi was stunned for a moment, and said confusedly: "Since Lang Jun wants to go to the Qinglou to have fun, he should wear luxurious clothes and go to the upper room, go with Shi Shen and them, and dress like this...... Belch? ”
Halfway through speaking, Liu Yiyi immediately stopped, then suddenly laughed, and said to Qing'er: "Good Qing'er, hurry up and change my sister's clothes into your young master's clothes, I, Liu Yiyi, will go with our Yuan Lang tonight." ”
Yuan Yun was startled and said, "I'm going to the Qinglou, why are you running there with a woman?" ”
Liu Yiyi snorted and said, "Back then, the concubine ran a green house, what's wrong with now?" Are you still afraid that the concubine doesn't understand the rules? Tonight is with Yuan Lang, don't expect to get rid of the concubine. ”
Looking at Liu Yiyi's determined look, the corners of Yuan Yun's mouth twitched, knowing that it was impossible to avoid it, if he didn't bring this wife with him tonight, it was estimated that there would be no good fruit to eat when he came back at night, but there was no danger tonight, just take Liu Yiyi with him.
Seeing Yuan Yun compromise, Liu Yiyi immediately pinched Qing'er's chin and said, "Little lady, do you want to follow Young Master Ben to visit Qinglou tonight, and ensure that all kinds of excitement are waiting." ”
Qing'er saw the evil taste in Liu Yiyi's eyes, and she was so frightened that she hurriedly took two steps back, and immediately shook her hand and replied: "I want to help Sister Qinghe take care of Qingbao'er tonight, and Sister Yiyi will accompany the young master." ”
Liu Yiyi pursed her lips, looking very proud, she hadn't been to the Qinglou for a long time, thinking of the days when she was admired and admired by everyone in the Qinglou, she couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic, and then looked at Yuan Yun, remembering that he had composed a few poems in front of him for a long time, and that scene was still intoxicating.
Yuan Yun looked at Liu Yiyi's confused eyes all the time, but he was terrified in his heart, and went to visit the Qinglou with his wife, which was simply the most bizarre thing, no matter how he thought about it, he felt hairy in his heart.
Under Qing'er's service, Yuan Yun and Liu Yiyi were finally dressed neatly, and the two of them immediately changed into the standard guard dress of the Yuan Mansion, especially Liu Yiyi, who didn't know where he got a fake beard, and after sticking it to his face, he instantly became a rude 'little man'.
After the two of them were ready, they walked to the front yard, and saw Xiao Liu hurriedly come to report, saying that a platoon of gunpowder troops had been mobilized and hidden near the Zuijin Building, and as long as the whistle sounded, they could immediately kill into the building.
Yuan Yun was very satisfied with Xiaoliu's efficiency, but after hearing from Xiaoliu's mouth, he still felt a little unaccustomed, and he reappointed the Luoyang Gunpowder Army according to the modern army, and Cao Ang also strongly supported this, thinking that it should be based on squads, platoons, companies, battalions, regiments, and brigades...... The system to integrate the gunpowder army does make it much more efficient and easy to remember.
"Where did you get this beard?" After sitting on the frame, Yuan Yun asked Liu Yiyi beside him.
Liu Yiyi touched her beard, suddenly laughed, and just wanted to throw herself into Yuan Yun's arms, but saw Yuan Yun sneak away and hide in the corner of the carriage, with a disgusting look on her face.
"What? After only a few years of marriage, Lang Jun dislikes the concubine? Liu Yiyi was very angry, because Yuan Yun had never avoided her like this, which made her very hurt.
Yuan Yun laughed dryly and said, "You get your beard off, otherwise you stick like this, I always feel goosebumps all over my body." ”
Liu Yiyi reacted when she heard Yuan Yun say this, so she immediately laughed out loud, and deliberately moved closer to Yuan Yun's side, and finally under Yuan Yun's face full of resistance, she proudly 'stroked her beard' and said: "This beard is a prop for the hotel theater troupe, many of which are sewn by the maids at home, and the concubine is naturally easy to take." ”
After explaining these things to Yuan Yun, Liu Yiyi immediately asked excitedly: "Yuan Lang, which play are we planning to play tonight?" You talk to the concubine, so as not to wear a gang for a while. ”
Yuan Yun looked at Liu Yiyi's excitement on her face, knowing that she liked these strange things the most, so she replied with a smile: "Tonight, we will all play the role of the guard of the Yuan Mansion, and then go to catch a thief, if we really catch it, hum, some people will give Lao Tzu a good showdown." ”
Liu Yiyi was confused when she heard it, but she knew that these might be related to political affairs, so she didn't talk anymore, and at the moment she felt that her beard was a little itchy, so she took it off easily, and then she got into Yuan Yun's arms and said: "After Yuan Shang was expelled from Jizhou, the Zhen family, who was hiding in various places in Zhongshan, can finally return to his homeland, and now Zhen Mi's sister is helping the concubine to work in Zhangluo, and the coal mine over there is about to open." ”
Yuan Yun was stunned, and said suspiciously: "You and Sister Zhen are not noisy all day long, why would she help you prepare for the coal mine, you bought this coal mine at the beginning, but you took advantage of their Zhen family." ”
Liu Yiyi smiled and said: "Sister Zhen is like a concubine, since she married into the Yuan Mansion, she naturally has to think about it for the family, now that the Zhen family has returned, their status is not like the original, Sister Zhen's brother Zhen Yan has been canonized by the imperial court as the general Peng and Qu Liangchang."
Now everyone knows that there is a relationship between the Cao clan behind their Zhen clan, so the big clans near Zhongshan want to come and cling, I heard that Zhen Yan also married the orphan daughter left by Tian Feng, and now he is the son-in-law of the Tian family.
So, Sister Zhen doesn't have any concern for her mother's family, so naturally she has to help the concubine to benefit our family, do you say yes or no? ”
Yuan Yunhu glanced at Liu Yiyi suspiciously, and felt that there must be her instigation in the middle, otherwise, with Zhen Mi's temper of protecting the short and never suffering, how could he help to make a coal mine together, not to mention that this coal mine originally belonged to the Zhen family.
"Tell me, how many of Zhongshan's minerals have you gotten back?" Yuan Yun began to stare at Liu Yiyi after asking, and felt that this matter must be asked clearly, after all, minerals are too huge, and the interests of the imperial court are involved, if Liu Yiyi monopolizes all minerals in the north, then the Yuan Mansion is estimated to stop thinking about sleeping soundly, with Cao Cao's urine, he still doesn't know the use of some minerals, once he understands, he will definitely not be polite.
Liu Yiyi pursed her lips and said: "Yuan Lang just can't trust the concubine, but it doesn't hurt to tell you, in addition to Zhen's coal mine, the concubine also has a stone mine, where a lot of limestone can be produced, which is a necessary material for cement, and when every household in the back uses cement to build a house, this limestone will definitely make a lot of money, so the concubine is generous and let the Zhen family account for thirty percent of the share, and Sister Zhen will of course be concerned." ”
Speaking of this, Liu Yiyi stopped, because she felt that she had explained enough, but after seeing Yuan Yun's unkind eyes, she could only frown and continue: "There is also an oil mine, which Yuan Lang used to refine gasoline, and that thing has now been refined by He Yan There are many kinds of things, some of which can be mixed with coal to make very good lamp oil, this is a very lucrative business, and it is ......"
Before Liu Yiyi finished speaking, Yuan Yun had already shaken his hand and said: "You quickly hand over the oil mine to Mr. Wenhe, let him take over in the name of Luoyang, and Yiyi must not touch it again." ”
Liu Yiyi was stunned and said, "Didn't Yuan Lang only say gold, silver, copper and iron ore, and the concubine can't touch his hands?" Why is there another oil mine now? ”
Yuan Yun spread his hands and said: "Because the gasoline bomb has been known by Cao Sikong, such an important strategic material, whoever touches it is unlucky, so it is the safest to hand it over to the Luoyang Mansion, and our family only needs those derivatives of oil, which is the royal way to make money." ”
After Yuan Yun finished speaking, their pair of in-laws laughed treacherously, which was completely the ugly face of the landlord and the landlord's mother-in-law.
After a while, the frame finally arrived near the Zuijin Building, and Yuan Yun and Liu Yiyi also changed to riding horses, surrounded by Yuan's generals' guards, such a large group of people riding horses and walking on the street, it was really tight.
Walking through the two streets and alleys, the gate of the drunken gold building appeared in front of him, the old bustard in the building had already greeted the door, with a flattering face, after seeing Shi Shen, he shouted as a big brother on the left and a hero on the right, and Yuan Yun and Liu Yi couldn't help frowning, and they also heard Shi Shen constantly breaking out in a cold sweat behind his back.
