54_54258 Qingzhou, Yidu City

It is rare to get rid of the accustomed military uniform and put on a brand new regular uniform, and there are still some Peng Ju brothers who are not very comfortable, but they look at it with a wry smile, the pavilions and colorful sheds in front of them, and all kinds of people who swagger in and out. It's hard to imagine that Vice President Han, who has just been familiar with him for a long time, still has such a "unique" side.

"Pengju is still stunned and ,......"

Han Liangchen's face did not change, and he called out a little narrowly.

"I have to make a good life and be a ...... in the East."

Then he could only bite the bullet and follow Han Liangchen, who seemed to be familiar with the road, and in a soft greeting, he forcibly walked in, but there were still some eyes that did not squint and his body stiffened.

You must know that although he has seen the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood and the rancid scene of falling to the ground and crows and dogs competing for food, he can't help but be a little helpless and restless for this kind of fat-powder battle and gentle offensive that is not lethal but is crisp to the bones.

It must be known that in the past, although he was only a low-level urban manager in Luodu City, he had always been clean and self-conscious, and the few pennies he obtained were also invested in the worries of helping the neighbors in the village to leave, but there was no extra expense, on those kiln bustard sisters.

With his ministry and his appearance, he has a slightly dark and sturdy body, and there is actually no shortage of people in the market, even if they don't want money to stick to the dusty woman.

At a loss, he could only continue to follow Han Liangchen through the hall, past the halls where he was laughing with all kinds of wine, and the cubicles with silk and bamboo music, and came to the courtyard behind Gao Qiang.

"Are you here to find the Red Jade Lady......

In the faint fragrance breeze, a middle-aged woman with light makeup and no makeup stood at the inner door to greet her and say ten thousand blessings.

"The lady is grooming ......"

"Distinguished guests, please stop in the shade pavilion for a while......"

To tell the truth, this woman named Foster Niang is dressed and dressed, but she doesn't have much wind and dust, just like the female dependents of a large family, rather than ushering in the bustard mother who is sent to the knees to laugh.

Even the maids and maids who come and go are all elegant in green clothes and buns, as if they are in the courtyard of a rich and noble family somewhere.

With the hustle and bustle outside, forming a huge contrast and sense of loss, it is hard to imagine that there is such a unique place in Yidu City.

But I saw a person walking out from under the corridor, but I vaguely remembered that it was Ke Shanmeng, the city official in charge of maritime trade, who was wearing civilian clothes, looking a little hurried and thoughtful.

A path leads straight to a fragrant pavilion, on the table full of flowers, six colors of fruit have been placed, all peeled and peeled flesh and kernels, piled into a pagoda-like pattern.

There are also flower butterfly-like maids, serving the snacks of the five-flower platter, all of which are home-cooked foods such as preserved meat, braised dried duck, bad duck, phoenix feet, and roasted balls, but they are very delicately piled up in the plate, and the shredded vegetables are spelled into various lotus petals and lotus edge shapes, which are pleasing to the eye and appetizing when they look at it.

Brother Pengju has seen such an elegant thing, and the most remarkable thing is that when he was in Luodu, he was blessed with Jiaqing in Shangguan's house, wrapped a hundred mosquitoes with joy, and ate eight large flowing water banquets with chicken, duck and fish.

Therefore, he was very awkward holding the ebony lacquered chopsticks, but he didn't know how to start, for fear of destroying such a beautiful arrangement and style.

There are also sweet stuffed pearl ball soup, stewed lilies in lotus soup, and chestnut paste and scallop cups, etc., as an appetizing introduction. And at this time, the specific main dish is far from seeing any shadow.

At the same time, on the small building by the water pavilion in the courtyard not far away, there are also lights and candles, illuminating a piece of silver, red, pink and white.

As the main owner of the name, his eyes were slightly red and he looked like he had cried, and he had to kneel in front of the mirror, and the maid hurriedly helped to make up his makeup, but he thought in his heart that it was what the man and the fake mother had said, and what was the great thing to do.

With the stability of Huaidong and the prosperity of foreign maritime trade, all kinds of exiles scattered throughout the East China Sea, so Dengzhou Town, were also attracted and gathered, and returned to their homeland incognito or tried to find a place to live.

Among them, there is also a slight divergence in their attitude towards the regime. Some hope that they can take the initiative to participate and send money, and gradually gain sufficient weight and attention in this local government, and gradually regain and restore the glory and prosperity of the Dengzhou era;

After all, the local ancestors and authorities had already expressed the basic attitude of valuing sea trade and promoting business profits at a very early stage, and they had a preliminary relationship with these old Dengzhous. This is undoubtedly an exciting start.

However, there are also cautious and hesitant attitudes, just hoping to maintain this status quo as a passer-by under the fence and a mutually beneficial external help in the short term. After all, there are countless forces that have risen and fallen in this troubled world, and there is no need to be too involved and hang your hopes on such a tree.

They have been frightened by the unpredictable changes of this era, and Ning Yuan is bent on seeking stability and slowly starting over, or he will simply go down without a name and with the light and dust. Give up the pursuits and thoughts that seem to be a little pointless.

As the highest climber in the system, Keshan Meng is undoubtedly the representative and ultimate of the former group, because he has always firmly believed and believed that only relying on the strong political power of the mainland, these maritime guilds scattered across the sea are the powerful faction with evidence, rather than still being invaded and harvested by people and rootless wanderers.

He also looked down on those who were reluctant. Life in the world, so can you have no career and pursuit. Liu Minyou, the former political envoy of Dengzhou who tried to compromise with luck, is the best example and empirical evidence.

Moreover, it is clear that there is no longer an opportunity to actively participate in and invest in the construction of a place from scratch that is more effective and rewarding than in a new regime that is in ruins.

Although these resources in the old hands of Dengzhou seem to be considerable, they are nothing but scattered in their own hands, and they will not last long. It was also for this reason that he persuaded many people, and re-responded to gather under the banner of Qingzhou.

But on the other hand, these Dengzhou remnants are currently only some kind of collateral of the overall investment of the Liangshan forces, and they still don't have a sense of survival, not to mention that the adult also has his own, the sea trade team and the joint ship group from the south. At present, there is a kind of subtle competition and restriction with them, and they have joined hands to cooperate with them.

Therefore, in order to gain enough shade and attention in this emerging local power, and then completely gain a firm foothold. The best shortcut and means is undoubtedly the way in which guò carefully selected female candidates form a good relationship with those in power, forming some kind of close contact and direct channel.

First of all, her surname is Liang, and she is from a prominent family in Dengzhou Town, a well-deserved local clan, and it can also be regarded as a distant branch of the Southern Dynasty clan that fled to the north after the Yizhou Rebellion. The identity of the lady of the declining official family is undoubtedly a very attractive selling point.

Secondly, because of her family background, she has been known for her carefree and versatile since she was a child, and she is also famous when she grows up, and naturally has many admirers and suitors among the military and civilian officials in Dengzhou. In this way, you have the basic conditions to match the high-end status.

It's just that the qiē she has, in this chaotic world, is just a temporary dream that is not reliable, with the original Xuanhe Dengzhou Town, because of the internal response to lead the wolf into the house, was shattered and led to the death of countless people, the huge Dengzhou Liang family, in the end, there are only a few survivors left, who went to sea with the ship in time.

Subsequently, these surviving remnants heard that the Northern Dynasty burned and plundered the land of Denglai, and captured the population and the country, most of which were old and weak, women and children, all starved to death because of this.

Then, after going ashore, the personal maid she grew up with was eloped with the little maid on the grounds of buying and settling down, wrapped up with the last bit of gold and silver.

As an orphan girl with good looks but no relatives, if she wants to survive alone in this chaotic world, she has to live in this place, which is closely related to the old Dengzhou courtyard, and relies on the railing to show her own value.

Originally, the object of their first choice was naturally the rather young, but already quite legendary Lord Zhenfu, although he already had a family in Guangfu, but at least there was still a lack of one around here, responsible for the companionship of the outer room of the Lord, but this adult was in and out of the country, and it was difficult to have the opportunity to approach on weekdays. In addition, it is rumored that it has a unique taste, and it is especially fond of young women.

The second candidate is the deputy envoy Xin, but his marriage contract with the Lu family, a wealthy family in Guangfu, has become the biggest obstacle; Then there was the No. 3 real power person who observed Lu Wuguan, who was also temporarily abandoned for this reason.

In addition, Wang Gui, the former commander of the army, and Cui Bangbi, the commander of the right guard army of the camp, although they are both members of the party, they are still some distance from the real core of power. Plus always stationed at the front line.

Therefore, it can only be selected by a handful of people to settle for the next best thing step by step. In the end, it was easy to catch up with this Han Liangchen, known as the number one cronie left behind in the army, Han Deputy Commander, and through several intentional or unintentional contacts, she left a deep enough impression, and naturally expected her to grasp such a good impression and opportunity to achieve some kind of roundabout purpose.

It's just that although she knew that sooner or later there would be such a day, and she had already made psychological preparations, but once it came to an end, she still couldn't help but feel aggrieved and unwilling, after all, when she was the daughter of a noble family in Dengzhou City and admired by everyone, she also had longing and dreams for her future husband. For example, a young talent with outstanding martial arts, or a young man with beautiful literary talents.

And that Han Liangchen, although Han Deputy Commander is just middle-aged, he is obviously a veteran who has been in the flowers for a long time, and he seems to be uninhibited and dissolute, but he is not leaky in his mouth, and he has a hot personality on the outside and cold on the inside, and he is not so easy to fool and confide.

This couldn't help but make her more and more pessimistic about her future, and at this time the door knocked on the outside door again, and she couldn't help but be a little miserable, and a little complaining sharply,

"Adoptive mother, do you want to urge the slave even if you stay here for a while......"

"Jade Niang, it's me......"

A female voice with a hint of Jiangnan accent.

"Because Han Daguan brought a guest, my mother asked me to come over to accompany you......"

Hearing this, Hongyu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. But it was the Han official who brought the guests over, so that her combing period could be postponed again, as the so-called sooner or later she would die, but for her who was full of entanglement, she still held the luck of being able to delay for a moment.

Compared with Hongyu's tangled and sad expression, the other female playwoman who was temporarily pointed out to be her companion, a young woman of the same age with the nickname "Li Wa", was obviously much more open-minded and cheerful in her expression.

Although it is not as beautiful as the red jade that has been raised since childhood, it is so thrilling and beautiful. But Li Wa, who has a slightly round face, can at least be called sweet and charming with her own general pleasantness and intimacy.

Compared with Hongyu, who had to live in the dust due to the sudden change in her family, she was obviously born in Jiangling, Jingzhou, and Li Wa, who was raised by a special flower boat since she was a child and was resold several times, is much more peaceful and good in dealing with people. She is also one of the few women who are more popular in this hospital.

Therefore, he was specially pointed out to be with her, but also to prevent some kind of uncontrollable affection and outpouring, and to snub the honored guest and be able to ease his cheeks in time.

And her flower name comes from the story of a talented and beautiful woman, the wise eye favored Zheng Yuanhe, the son of the Zheng family of Rongyang, and was able to be the wife of the prime minister, the head of the generation of the court and the strange woman of the wife of the auxiliary country, which also represents a certain mood and hope that although she is in the dust, she is still actively looking for it
