Chapter 10: Two Maids
A Confucian scholar in his thirties opened the tent door and walked in, followed by two thirteen or fourteen-year-old beautiful women, which was almost the first time Cheng Yue had seen a woman up close in this era. Of course he understands that these two little girls were given to him, but they are too young to do it themselves.
Wang Zhi smiled and gave a deep salute, in fact, this salute was a little embarrassing, because although the prince of Cheng Yue Cheng in front of him had already commanded tens of thousands of horses, he was very young, and more importantly, he was still white, that is, he did not have any official position and fame.
Cheng Yue actually didn't care, he didn't know much about the etiquette of the ancients, and he didn't pay so much attention to it in his time, so he hurriedly supported him when he saw that he was in his thirties.
Wang Zhi saw that Cheng Yue supported himself very politely, and his heart was settled. got up and said with a smile: "In Xia Wang Zhi, I came to meet Cheng Gongzi on the order of Li Shixiu, the Jiangyin army's judge, and Lord Li. We, Lord Li, heard that Cheng Gongzi alone broke through tens of thousands of troops within three days, and the name of good fighting shook the world, and the merit was in the community and the benefit of the people. Cheng Gongzi is such a hero, Master Li can't wait to come to see him immediately, serving in the saddle before and after the horse, but it's a pity that he is entangled in affairs and can't leave for a moment, so he has to come down to condole, Cheng Gongzi don't be surprised. ”
Cheng Yue looked at Wang Zhi with a smile, patted his hand lightly and said: "Thank you Lord Li for me, the reason why I was able to succeed by luck is just because of the kindness of the court and the full help of all the adults. ”
After speaking, he let go of his hand, returned to his seat and sat down, and also asked Wang Zhi to sit down, and said: "Lord Li has also made a great contribution this time, Dong Wenbing is known as prestigious, and 30,000 Mongolian elites are blocked under this Jiangyin City, and they are not allowed to enter an inch. ”
Wang Zhi heard Cheng Yue say this, and he was so excited that his buttocks, which had just sat down, immediately rose up again, and directly knelt down and cried: "Cheng Gongzi is really the prime minister!" There are only 5,000 people in the Jiangyin army, how difficult it is to keep the city of Jiangyin safe! There are still hundreds of thousands of fathers and elders in the city, and Lord Li has been thinking about it so much, so he has stuck to it so far. The Yuan army went south, many guards looked at the wind and surrendered, and Lord Li was lonely and difficult to defend, and he was with the Yuan army all day long. Now that I can hear Cheng Gongzi's words, I have just seen the sun and bowed to Cheng Gongzi on behalf of Lord Li! ”
Cheng Yue said in his heart, this guy's eloquence is really good. Originally, he didn't plan to deal with that Li Shixiu, so it was better to sell him face.
So he picked up Wang Zhi and said with a smile: "Why did Mr. make this big gift?" Is it still a crime for Lord Li to defend Jiangyin? How can some rumors be taken seriously? Master Li lives in the hearts of the people of the city, and Cheng is deeply admired. Wen Xianggong also doesn't believe those gossips, tomorrow I see that Wen Xianggong will share it for Lord Li, Lord Li should welcome Wen Xianggong in person, and I guarantee that Lord Li is fine. ”
Wang Zhi hesitated slightly, and was about to say it again, at this time, a herald brought in a person, Cheng Yue looked at it, saw it, and was one of the knights beside Wen Tianxiang.
After the knight gave a salute, he said to Cheng Yue: "Gong Wen wants to tell Cheng Gongzi that Gong Wen wants to return to the court, and play this battle and entrust the matter of the battle with the Yuan army to Cheng Gongzi." This is a warrant from the Minister of Justice, and Cheng Gongzi can act cheaply with this order. Xianggong Wen also instructed Cheng Gongzi that Boyan still needs Cheng Gongzi to bother, and he must not be careless. After speaking, he took out an order from his arms and stamped the official seal and handed it to Cheng Yue.
Cheng Yue thought about it for a while, and then understood what Wen Tianxiang meant. The traitors in the court are in charge, and the Empress Dowager Xie is a good person and can't decide. If he Wen Tianxiang enters Jiangyin, he will inevitably have to obey the orders of the imperial court, and I am afraid that he will hinder Cheng Yue, and in this way, the good situation may be lost again. So simply on the grounds of going back to report the battle situation, he handed over these things to Cheng Yue. He is white, strictly speaking, he is not a Great Song Dynasty at all, so the imperial court's orders Cheng Yue don't have to pay too much attention, and the imperial court can only rely on him now, how can he go against him?
Cheng Yue figured out these joints, and sighed secretly in his heart: Officialdom. He ordered the cavalry who delivered the letter to be brought down and rested.
Wang Zhi is very happy, this Cheng Gongzi in front of him is a good talker, as long as Cheng Gongzi is in Jiangyin, Li Shixiu will have a relationship with Cheng Yue again, and make some contributions to Boyan, big things will be small, and small things will be gone. I came well today, and I have made a great contribution.
Cheng Yue pondered for a moment and said, "In this case, please ask Mr. to report to Lord Li, I will enter Jiangyin tomorrow, as for Boyan's side, I still need Lord Li to contribute." ”
Wang Zhixi was overjoyed and hurriedly agreed. Then he said with a smile: "Master Li knows that Cheng Gongzi has just returned to the Great Song Dynasty, and the battle is hard, and he can't be left unserved, so he specially selected two girls from the Qing people in Jiangyin to serve in front of him, and Cheng Gongzi must not refuse." Otherwise, if the Yuan soldiers do not retreat, Lord Li will be guilty. Ha ha. As he spoke, he presented the deed of sale of the two little girls.
Cheng Yue knew that he had to accept it, so he also smiled and put it away, sent it to the door, and Wang Zhizi went back to resume his life.
When I turned around, I saw two thirteen or fourteen-year-old beautiful women standing there with a burden in their hands. It was cold, but in order to let him see the curves of his body, the two of them didn't wear much when they came. It's warm in the tent, and you don't need to add clothes.
Cheng Yue had a maid for the first time, and it belonged to him completely, so he thought it was too interesting. looked at the two of them carefully, and the more they looked at it, the more they liked it.
Both of them are girls who are carefully cultivated and will be sold to Qinhuai River in the future. Not only must he look good, but he must also understand how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and be proficient in one of them. After such training, his temperament is naturally outstanding, Li Shixiu really spent a lot of money, but I'm afraid that he will use it a little strong, otherwise I am afraid that he will not sell.
Both were taken to the barracks, both very uneasy. When they saw Cheng Yue, they all breathed a sigh of relief and became happy.
Although Cheng Yue is a soldier, he has studied very well since he was a child, and he naturally has an elegant style on his body, coupled with his young and handsome, a smiling eye, although his clothes and hair are a little weird, the others are exactly what they think of as a wishful man, except for his background, everything is too good to be better. In addition, Cheng Yue now has a heavy army, and the future is bound to be great, and both of them are secretly glad that Wang Zhi chose him just now, where can he have such a good destination if he marries a good man.
When the two saw Cheng Yue turn around, they hurriedly bowed down and said, "Slave Shiyun, slave Ziyan to meet Gongzi." ”
Seeing Cheng Yue looking at him curiously, with a satisfied smile on his face, he was ashamed and happy in his heart, and he had a little bit of competition for favor with each other, thinking that he must let Cheng Yue pamper himself a little.
Cheng Yue asked about their backgrounds, only to know that they were all orphans, Ziyan would be fifteen years old soon, and Shiyun was four months younger than her. His family died at the hands of the Mongols, and he was sold to Jiangyin at a very young age.
Cheng Yue took their hands pityingly. The hands of both people are as warm as jade, delicate and soft. Because the time outside is a bit long, and it is a little cold, after all, it is only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl.
Cheng Yue was a little distressed for a while, and couldn't help but close their hands in the middle, holding them all by himself, rubbing them lightly, and sighing at the same time.
The two little girls were startled, although they were young, they had seen too many men, how many men had seen them with all kinds of colored eyes, just waiting for them to light the lamp. But Cheng Yue's face was very sincere, he didn't show a trace of lewdness, but he felt sorry for their hands that were too cold, and he couldn't help but wet his eyes with emotion.
Cheng Yue rubbed for a while, felt that his hands were hot, so he put down his hands, and his own hands were also hot, so he covered the little faces of the two of them with both hands and warmed them again.
Even if they were given to Cheng Yue, how could they let Cheng Yue touch him like this as soon as they met? But the two of them still didn't make any resistance, because they could see that Cheng Yue just wanted to give them warmth, in addition to being moved, they were happy.
Cheng Yue took out two pairs of delicate cashmere gloves and two pairs of ordinary gloves from a box, both of which had a certain elasticity, and it shouldn't be too big for them to wear. He has to use a gun these days, he can't wear any gloves, and he can't be special when no one else has a gun, so he doesn't wear it. These two little girls are exceptions, they have to work, they can't freeze their hands to work, right?
The two little girls watched Cheng Yue take out four black palm-like things, and they knew what they were used for at a glance, and their eyes lit up.
This thing is good, why didn't you think of it before?
Cheng Yue handed the gloves to them and said, "It's not your size, let's put it on, wait a few days, find all the raw materials, and then make a few pairs of hands for you." ”
The two couldn't help but take it over, and after a closer look, the cashmere thread was very fine, exquisite, and there were extremely fine neat lines on it, they had never seen such a delicate "fabric", and they were dizzy for a while, and they were almost stunned.
The two ordinary thread gloves seemed to them beautiful enough, but the threads were thicker.
The two of them carefully put on the cashmere gloves, which were very warm, so thin and so warm! It's a bit big, but it doesn't have much impact. The more the two looked at it, the more they fell in love, and they jumped up with joy, Shiyun gasped and asked Cheng Yue: "Childe, what is this?" But for the slaves? ”
Cheng Yue smiled: "This is a glove, of course it is for you." But you have to be careful, this is cashmere, the warmth is first-class, but you can't grind hard, you can't bake the fire, don't smoke the thread, in short, it's a very delicate thing, if you really want to sell, you can't buy thousands of dollars. Now I can't produce it, and it may not be able to do it in a few decades, so you have to keep it carefully, don't use it for work, just for you to protect your hands. Those two pairs of gloves are used for work, and this can be produced in a few years. But it's also extremely difficult to do it so well. Speaking of this, don't wear it first, lest the soldiers blame me for being biased, and when I enter Jiangyin City tomorrow, I will find a group of weavers to make more for the soldiers to wear again. ”
The two little girls nodded in response, still too happy.
Cheng Yue felt a little sour in his heart, this age is only the second or third grade of junior high school in modern times, and it is the age of coquettishness, and he actually became his concubine. If you treat them well, you will be very happy and satisfied, which is completely different from those arrogant little girls in modern times. And because of this, it is even more pitiful.
Cheng Yue blinked, he was really tired after a busy day, so he said: "I'm going to sleep, you can sleep with me first, and I'll arrange it for you tomorrow." ”
The faces of the two little girls were so red that they stood there helplessly, and said in their hearts that this Cheng Gongzi was too ridiculous, and he wanted to take both of us into the house at once, how could this be? This is not what I imagined.
Cheng Yue didn't explain, took off his clothes, and fell into the quilt and fell asleep.
Cheng Yue's bed was very big, and the two little girls were afraid that Cheng Yue would be angry and didn't dare not go to bed. I thought that it was his person anyway, although it was ridiculous, it couldn't go against Cheng Yue's wishes, otherwise how could there be a good life in the future?
After a long time, he had to take off his coat and middle coat, wearing only a belly pocket and obscene pants, revealing his white and tender arms and back, with his bare feet as bright as jade, and burrowed into Cheng Yue's quilt with a red face.
