The Li family's manor is not big, Li Meng soon arrived at the house where the two women lived, Mu Yunyao, Gu Hengbo and Liu Ru were in the same big courtyard, the reason why it was called the inner courtyard was because these women were considered to be Li Meng's family members, although Li Meng did not come once to avoid suspicion

"My lord, how do you want to deal with the slave sisters, can you give us a clear explanation?"

Liu Rushi and Gu Hengbo, who were dressed in full costumes, asked with resolute faces, it really takes a lot of courage for the two of them to ask this question, for women from low backgrounds, from the time they were given to Li Meng by Liu Fulai, the eunuch who guarded the town in Nanjing City, they have become Li Meng's personal belongings in law.

Because according to the law, slaves and maids are regarded as human beings, but in the hands of these arrogant and domineering martial artists, they are like cattle and horses. Gu Hengbo and Liu Ru are different from ordinary women, they have a wide range of contacts in Nanjing City, rich in information, and naturally know the situation of marrying the same kind of women who are martial artists, and most of those generals are beasts who only know how to vent their carnal desires.

Some of the women who married in the past were beaten and killed if they didn't agree, and some were given away as gifts at will, which was really miserable. Gu Hengbo and Liu Ru were also frightened, Gu Hengbo remembered the neglect of Li Meng on the Meilou that day, and Liu Ru was frightened by the various rumors he heard in Jiangnan.

Strictly speaking, it was not Li Meng who was neglected that day, but Gu Hengbo, but deep in Li Meng's house, she couldn't help but be afraid, no matter how smart she was, precocious and precocious, they were just two girls less than seventeen years old.

Mu Yunyao's undisguised coldness and hostility made them even more uncomfortable, Mu Yunyao got started earlier than them, although she didn't know how to groom and dress up, but her beauty was not inferior to them in the slightest, and she obviously had a higher status in this mansion. Because of the cruel incidents caused by the jealousy of the wives and concubines of higher status, Gu Hengbo and Liu Ru have also heard a lot.

More than half a year has passed, and their residences have moved around, but Li Meng has never been to the place where they live, while Mu Yunyao has come and gone freely in many places.

Some people think that these beautiful women like Oiran will have such a proud character, but in fact. They also know their identities very well, and their future fate will be as lucky as that of Ma Yulan, who died of indulgence, and it is more realistic to marry a big man who they don't like, but is rich and powerful.

Now he is indeed married to a big man, and the general is not a low-grade military attaché, but also a young man who is not bad looking, which is much luckier than those sisters who marry old men or eunuchs.

It's just that after following to this land in Shandong, what they encountered was not what they did. Gu Hengbo and Liu Ru have heard a lot, some are the gossip of fellow sisters, some are the admonitions of "seniors", and there are rumors heard from the guests, all of them say that if they enter each other's mansions, at least a few months of favor will not be able to run, and the girls should make good use of this opportunity to familiarize themselves with the environment. Determine their status and what methods should be taken in the future, after all, women who are in the music club, once they leave the carnival and follow the good, the freshness and curiosity they bring to men will be lost, if you don't fix your favor at this time, the jealousy of the eldest woman, the coldness and bestiality of the man, will make the woman's situation very miserable.

After all, for these women, they still hope that they will be good and keep it for a long time. But in fact, after many people were redeemed from Liang, they returned to the *** field, or the end was even more miserable.

After coming to Shandong, what they saw and thought was completely different from what they expected, first Li Meng basically had no contact with them, so he put them in the yard and circled them, if it was cold or old grudges, the treatment of the two of them was not lacking compared to the neighbor Mu Yunyao.

If it is said that he likes male style, Mu Yunyao goes in and out every day, but he doesn't look like it. And marrying Qinhuai women, especially the best women, most of them are rich and noble, and luxury in the mansion is commonplace, but Li Meng's mansion is extremely common. The servant is not like a servant of a big family. It's like a short-term helper. And in their eyes, Mu Yunyao, who was obviously the daughter of everyone, treated these servants extremely politely.

After this move. The house was much larger, but the style was so simple for a long time, and what frightened the two girls from a prosperous place and their maids was the cannons on the wall. Everything was different from what they had heard and seen before, so they were placed here, if Gu Hengbo and Liu Ru knew something, it would be fine, but they didn't know how Li Meng treated them, whether it was good or bad, it was better than this silent ignorance.

The girls finally couldn't help it and decided to ask the truth, but the timing of their choice of place was obviously problematic, and they chose it when Li Meng was going to go on the expedition.

The armor on Li Meng's body was not ring-arm iron armor and chain mail, but armor modeled after the Western plate armor sent by the arsenal eunuch Xu Xiaochu.

This style of armor is not very powerful in the eyes of people with traditional oriental aesthetic concepts, and Li Meng stood at the door in this armor and looked at the two women in costumes.

The fashion trend of Daming has always been brought up by the women on the Qinhuai River, Gu Hengbo and Liu Ru are the best among them, in fact, the dresses they wear are more like palace costumes combined with Tang and Song Dynasty styles, that is, fairy costumes in modern mythological film and television dramas.

Although the expedition was imminent, Li Meng still sighed at the beauty of these two girls, they were the most golden age of sixteen or seventeen years old, and they were charming stunners, and they were indeed extremely attractive and pleasing to the eye. However, Li Meng still had to identify it in order to recognize who Gu Hengbo was.

He didn't remember it too clearly, after all, he hadn't seen it for a long time, the cold girl next to him should be Liu Ruyi, Li Meng remembered that he had met once. After Gu Hengbo and Liu Ru asked the sentence "how to deal with it", they were very apprehensive in their hearts, especially when they saw Li Meng wearing a military uniform, they felt that the time was not right, but Li Meng did not have the reaction of sneering and shouting as they imagined, just shook his head and said:

"I raised you, and what else can I do."

Hearing this, Gu Hengbo didn't say anything, but Liu Ru said:

"Master, since you have placed the concubine and Sister Gu in this mansion, you will either accept the slave and maid sisters to serve the pillow in the future, or give it to other adults, even if it is slaughtered with a knife, it is good to give the slaves and maids an explanation, so put it in the mansion, it will really make people crazy!"

At the beginning, there was some advance and retreat, and then he directly let go and said, but what beauties do is different from others, Liu Ru is kind of woman makes Li Meng very comfortable even if she scolds people, Liu Ru is really a character who dares to speak, she is really bold at the moment, but Gu Hengbo has not spoken out.

Li Meng pondered for a moment, shook his head, and replied with a smile:

"Isn't it good to raise you like this, there are already people eating people in Qingzhou Mansion and Dongchang Mansion, and you are still not satisfied? Peace of mind here is, talk to Yun Yao more, she has been away from home for many years, and she is very lonely in her heart, you can live in peace, Li Meng will not send her woman out. ”

After speaking, he waved his hand and went out, this move made Liu Ru is stunned, everything he had thought about before was in vain, Li Meng went out for a long time, and Liu Ru, who was standing there, came back to his senses, and stared back at Gu Hengbo with a complaining look:

"Brother Gu, why don't you open it

Gu Hengbo and Liu Ru are also known for their mavericks in Nanzhili, Gu Hengbo is often called Brother Gu, while Liu Ru is self-proclaimed "brother", it is also an anecdote that the two sides are called brothers, Gu Hengbo heard the other party's complaints, and smiled helplessly:

"Sister, that person has obviously been in a trance recently, and then he recognized the appearance of you and me, obviously not remembering us."

Liu Ru's eyes immediately widened a lot, and then she was helpless......

Li Meng rode back on the horse after going out, I don't know why, but the mood was extremely comfortable, after all, he had a conversation with a beautiful woman, and he was not tempted to say anything, but Li Meng felt that this era may not be bad, at least this kind of relationship between women and men's accessories makes people very comfortable.

However, Li Meng also knew that his mood had improved, not entirely because of the conversation with the beauty, but because of the upcoming war.

In mid-November, Surabaya County and Ningyang County in Yanzhou Prefecture both said that the place was unstable and encountered bandits, and the document was urgently reported to Yanzhou Prefecture City Rongyang.

Liu Zeqing, the general soldier of Caozhou, guarded Yanzhou and Dongchang Mansions, and naturally had the responsibility to defend the territory, and Yanzhou Mansion went to ask for help on the one hand, but on the other hand, according to the statement that the matter was urgent, it was not confined to the limits of the defense area, and contacted the Jiaozhou battalion stationed in Mengyin, asking the other side to support the suppression of the rebellion.

These are completely formal methods, and no one can find any fault, but the power of the Holy Duke of Qufuyan in the north of Yanzhou is very great, and the time for Ningyang County and Surabaya County to obey the prefect of Yanzhou is far less than the time to obey the Confucian Mansion.

But in order to consolidate his strength, most of Liu Zeqing's soldiers and horses were around Caozhou, while the 1,500 soldiers and horses led by Ma Gang were in Mengyin, which was relatively close.
