"Husband, I see your name!" Cao Yun also saw her husband's new official position in another identical tabloid.

"What is the history of the Kwon Woong State Thorn?" Cao Yun asked puzzled.

Mo Jun next to him explained with a smile: "Madame doesn't know, because the assassin is a high-ranking official from the fifth grade, and the official's current official rank is not enough, so the title of assassin must be preceded by a power word." ”

"What kind of official is the Xiongzhou Thorn History?" Hu Qing'er next to him also asked confusedly: "Do you want to go to Xiongzhou to take up a post?" It's a former enemy battlefield. ”

Li Yanqing shook his head, "The assassin history is not a governor, there is no real power, just a virtual official, there are a lot of assassins in the capital, the real position is the dispatch officer, it is estimated that there will be my real official position in this Northern Expedition, but it has not been appointed yet." ”

Cao Yun sighed lowly, her father had a virtual official of the Huizhou regiment, he had never been to Huizhou for more than ten years, and he had nothing to do at home all day, Cao Yun was worried that her husband would go to the battlefield, but she was afraid that her husband would be the same as her father, and he would hang up a false official and do nothing from then on.

．．．．．．．

At the beginning of the watch, two big ships slowly docked at the back door of Hongqiao Baoyan Zhai on the Bianhe wharf, after five days of sailing, they finally arrived in the capital, Li Daqi has been waiting in Baoyan Zhai for a long time, saw his son's ship docked at the dock, he hurriedly greeted out.

Li Daqi hadn't seen his son for a year and a half, he was so excited that he hugged his son tightly, and hurriedly said to everyone: "Everyone go to the house first to rest, I guess you haven't had dinner yet!" I'm ready to get the kitchen hot again. ”

"Daddy, we've already eaten in Akakura Town this afternoon."

"Then eat less, Yun Niang be careful, slow down!"

When Li Daqi saw his daughter-in-law Cao Yun get off the boat, he hurriedly asked the maid to help her, Cao Yun was already pregnant with the blood of the Li family in her belly, which was more precious than anything else.

Everyone entered Baoyan Zhai, Cao Yun and Sisi took the maid to the backyard to rest first, and the others lived in the front yard, the room had been vacated, and the mane pads and bedding were prepared, and they only stayed for one night, and they will enter the city tomorrow.

Li Yanqing and his father came to the guest hall to sit down, only a year and a half have not been seen, Li Yanqing suddenly found that his father's hair was half white, Li Daqi smiled bitterly, "Baoyanzhai has not been smooth in the past two years, last summer suddenly appeared two new stores that make high-end fat powder, both have a very hard backstage, and they have stolen a lot of markets at once. ”

"What is their background?"

"One is called Yujinlou Rouge Shop, the proprietor is Wang Huang's brother, and the other is called Yuyantang Rouge Shop, it is a relative Xiangjia who began to get involved in the rouge industry, both of them are developing very rapidly, in just one year, all states in the world have their branches, they are rich! Compete with low prices and want to crush us. ”

"But how do they get all kinds of rouge recipes, perfumes, and balms?"

"Unscrupulous means! The reason why Zhang Gu fell out was because most of their rouge craftsmen were poached by Yuyantang at a high price, and all kinds of formulas were taken away by Yuyantang, and now all of Zhang Gu's shops were bought by Yuyantang for 50,000 yuan, and Zhang Gudian's signboard has changed since then. ”

"What about the Yujin Lou rouge shop?"

"The Yujin Rouge Shop also poached Sancheng Zhang's ancient rouge craftsmen, as well as the two rouge masters of our Baoyan Zhai were also poached at a high price, resulting in the leakage of our perfume and balsam making process, but fortunately, the recipe of rouge is all in the hands of me and Zhang Yan'er, and she is now closely protected by me."

"Who is Zhang Yan'er?" Li Yanqing was a little confused, he had never heard of this name.

"It's the magpie, Zhang Yan'er is the official name I gave her, Yujinlou Rouge spread out a high price of 2,000 yuan per month to dig her, she didn't have the slightest temptation, if she was poached, our Baoyanzhai would also be in danger."

"Where is the magpie now?"

"She is in the manor of Xiangcheng, Chenzhou, where she continues to prepare rouge, and she is now making a cotton rouge, which is very portable."

Li Yanqing nodded, and asked his father again: "Has Baoyanzhai lowered the price?" ”

Li Daqi shook his head, "No, the price reduction is a self-smashing signboard, I am holding on now, it depends on how these two companies can get up after the price reduction!" ”

Li Yanqing said with a smile: "Actually, Zhang Gu's signboard is good, Daddy went to their proprietor to buy this signboard, and then used it to replace Li Ji Rouge, and used it to compete with those two when the price was reduced, but Baoyanzhai must not reduce the price, but also make the packaging more exquisite, so that the poor sigh and make the rich feel that it is a display of identity." ”

Li Daqi sighed, "It's a pity that the business in the palace was robbed by the Yujin Lou Rouge Shop last month, and our reputation has suffered a lot of damage." ”

Li Yanqing smiled faintly, "Wang Huang is nothing more than relying on Li Yan, although Li Yan can control the palace maids, but he can't control the imperial concubine, as long as the quality is better, the imperial concubines will still use Baoyan Zhai, as long as the propaganda is strengthened, the imperial concubine uses Baoyan Zhai, and the palace maid uses Yujinlou rouge, which is better and which is worse and which is worse and worse everyone will understand in their hearts." ”

Li Daqi said with a smile: "I remember all of what you said, with your ideas, I am much more determined, by the way, I have rented your new house for you a few days ago, in Jinliang Bridge, very close to Cai Jing's mansion, a five-acre house, very good in all aspects." ”

Li Yanqing was stunned, "I thought I lived in the old mansion of Yunqiqiao." ”

"Nonsense!"

Li Daqi glared at Li Yanqing fiercely, "Thirty people died in that house, you are about to have a child, how can you live in that kind of murderous house again, the landlord came to me to file a lawsuit, I lost 5,000 yuan to the landlord to deal with that house, and besides, the landlord of that house has been sold, and he has lost 10,000 yuan, don't do such stupid things in the future, it will be tiring and tiring to yourself." ”

Li Yanqing was sorry in his heart, he just wanted to kill the murderer of the sneak attack, but he didn't realize how much trouble it would bring to his father.

"I know, it won't happen again."

"Besides, you tell me, what is the history of the Quan Xiong State Assassin?"

Li Yanqing groaned and said, "It is to participate in the Second Northern Expedition as a civilian official." ”

"Have you been appointed a civilian officer?"

"Not necessarily!"

Li Yanqing explained to his father: "Civilian officials can also lead troops to fight, because leading troops to fight is generally a temporary dispatch officer, so civilian officials need to hang a virtual official in the war area, such as Xuanfu envoy, regimental training envoy, assassin history, if it is a military general, then his official title is infantry commander." ”

Li Daqi's eyes suddenly gloomy, everyone is not optimistic about the Northern Expedition, and his son must not do anything.

At this time, Li Daqi suddenly remembered something, "Yesterday, Liang Shicheng personally came to Baoyanzhai to find me. ”

"What is he looking for Daddy for?"

"He specially came to tell me that with him as the backstage of Baoyanzhai, neither the Wang family nor the Xiang family dared to do anything about Baoyanzhai."

Li Yanqing sneered, "After a year and a half, I suddenly remembered me again." ”

"That's probably what he means, after he asks you to come back, be sure to go to his house first, and then go to the ministry."

........

Early the next morning, the city gate just opened, Li Yanqing and his entourage took a few ox carts into the city, until they came to the Jinliang Bridge, the Jinliang Bridge is slightly more lively than the Yunqi Bridge, Li Daqi's rented mansion is on the Jinliang Bridge Street, which is two hundred steps away from the state west Wazi, but it is closer to Cai Jing Mansion, just diagonally opposite Cai Jing Mansion.

The environment here can be described as quiet, the house is also good, seventy percent new, the house is very elegant, all kinds of pavilions and pavilions, rockery pond fish have worked hard, the trees are also very lush, although it is the middle of summer, but the house is lush, full of coolness, a penny is a penny, built so exquisitely, of course the rent will not be cheap, the monthly rent will be fifty times, the landlord is the Han family, that is, the family of Han Qi, the original Xiangguo, the Han family is also Xiangzhou people, because it is a fellow villager, the Han family is also willing to rent this mansion to Li Yanqing, otherwise, with Li Yanqing's reputation for shooting thirty people, there are really not many people who dare to rent a house to him.

Li Yanqing is very satisfied with this mansion, the only fly in the ointment is that you can see the Six Crane Hall in Cai Jing's Mansion in the front yard and the atrium, the Six Crane Hall is as high as four feet and nine feet, which is equivalent to the current five-story building.

The housekeeper is still the original Uncle Tai, Li Daqi found him back to continue to be a housekeeper, the original domestic servants have been disbanded, there is no new domestic servant for a while, Uncle Tai only found the three most urgently needed cooks, fortunately, they brought eight maids from Jiayu County, which can be borrowed for a while.

Furniture and various daily necessities have been prepared, but this is sent by the Cao family, and they are all good things.

"Husband, why don't we go to my mother's house today, and they also know that we are back, I don't think it's good not to go." Cao Yun euphemistically put forward the suggestion of going back to her parents' house to have a look.

Li Yanqing nodded, "Otherwise, we'll go now, where to come back after drinking afternoon tea, and you can rest well when you come back." ”

Cao Yun was overjoyed in her heart, and hurriedly asked Uncle Tai to arrange an ox cart.

Their new mansion is not very far from the Cao family, about two miles apart, not long after, the husband and wife came to the Cao house, heard that the grandson-in-law came back, Cao Ping hurriedly asked the housekeeper to bring Li Yanqing to his study, Cao Yun was taken to his home by his mother.

Li Yanqing knelt down and gave Cao Ping a big salute, Cao Ping hurriedly helped him up, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen him for a year and a half, just this time to give a big salute, I won't need it in the future, even your father-in-law doesn't have to give a big salute every time he sees me, my own family, it's better to be casual." ”

"Thank you grandfather for taking care of me!"

Li Yanqing sat down, and a maid came in to serve tea, Li Yanqing said with a smile: "Grandfather is full of red light, his voice is loud, and he seems to be in good health!" ”

"I pay attention to maintenance, but it's still not as good as the old species! They are actually going to lead the army again. ”

"This Northern Expedition, I actually let the shuai go out, and even I was recruited into Beijing, is there any mystery in this?"

"This time it was the prince's recommendation, the Northern Expedition fiasco at the beginning of last month made the prince see the light of day, and he rejoined politics, this time the official family made him the generalissimo of the three armies of the Northern Expedition, he naturally wanted to recommend his own people, and the seed master Dao went out of the mountain, you too, this time the prince recommended five important officials as the deputy of the seed master Dao, and you are one of them."

"I don't know which five?"

"Basically, it is the original team of the Liangshan Army that was exterminated last time, but there is one more Li Gang, he was reinstated as an official and served as a military supervisor, that is, what your military prison did in the past, the military prison is gone, but things still have to be done, generally by supervising the imperial history as the military supervisor and imperial history, in addition, there is one more seed division, and Zong Ze will serve as the deputy commander of the left and right capitals, and you will serve as the commander of the right army of the Eastern Route Army, second only to the deputy commander, Yanqing, the responsibility is heavy!"

Li Yanqing hurriedly said, "Has it been decided?" ”

Cao Ping nodded, "This is the list of generals of the Eastern Route Army submitted by the Seed Master Dao to the Son of Heaven, although others have not yet arrived in the capital, but the list has been sent first, Gao Shen came to visit me yesterday and told me about it." ”

"How do you know?"

"Gao Shen once again served as the Privy Councillor, taking over the official position of Zheng Juzhong, the Privy Council envoy is still Tong Guan, and the deputy envoy is Tan Zhen, these two people are simply the same thing, even the door to enter the Privy Council is different, one goes to the east gate, the other goes to the west gate, never meets, what is the matter is to find Gao Shen."

Li Yanqing pondered and asked, "Actually, my son-in-law still wants to know, since I have been named the assassin of Xiongzhou, has my official rank changed?" ”

This is what Li Yanqing cares about, he knows that many powerful children in the capital have the title of assassin history, but there is no official rank, just a fictitious title, now although he is the assassin of Xiongzhou, but there is no news about the official rank, will it still be from the eight products of the flattery?
