When he arrived in Jizhen, he was almost put on his neck with a knife by Mrs. Qi Dashuai's wife; When he arrived in Liaodong, he was recognized by Li Rusong, and met Li Dashuai's wife, Su, who was a man who was upright and strict; Xiaobei felt that the trip he followed Wang Fulin out was really stressful. Since her identity has long been no secret, she simply asked Bizhu to put a simple bun for herself, and generously came out to meet Mrs. Su. Fortunately, Mrs. Su is not the kind of third aunt and six mothers-in-law who check the household registration, she only asked her father, and learned that it was Wang Fulin who served as the parent official of the She County Order when he was just admitted to Xiucai, so she laughed.

"Ren's appointment in the local wife and concubine, this has always been strictly forbidden by the imperial court, if you marry a daughter-in-law, there will be gossip, but marrying a daughter is still common, but in this case, the trial officer is the most. I heard that many township examiners just took a fancy to the candidates, and directly married their baby daughters. Your father is really good-looking, this son-in-law picked it well, and he became a jinshi in a few years, and I probably don't know how many people envy him. ”

Xiaobei glanced at Wang Fulin obliquely, and saw that he was serious, she really wanted to answer, Madam, what you said is that my father-in-law is very comfortable, and others are simply envious, jealous and hateful. But thinking about it, this was too polite, and she had to humble herself against her will. However, she really didn't want Mrs. Su to focus all her energy on herself, so she had to glance at Wang Fulin frequently, until he finally took the conversation, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

But who would have thought that after Mrs. Su talked to Wang Fulin and the Shen family's uncle and nephew for a while, she suddenly turned the topic to her again, asked about the ordinary green silk spring shirt on her body, and asked how she could wear silk. and who made the clothes?

"Ugh. This time out of the house. The luggage should be simple and easy to bring, I have to wear men's clothes most of the time, those other colors and materials are heavy and eye-catching, it is inconvenient, so I only brought two clothes for spring and autumn, both of which are this simple style, and the other is a winter coat, which is also cyan. It's unobtrusive. ”

Xiaobei didn't understand why Mrs. Su was so interested in herself, but other people's questions were not good as not hearing, so she could only explain in detail: "My female celebrity was taught by my mother and sister, and it's okay to make a pair of socks and the like, but the others are not very good." This spring shirt was made by a tailor in the city when I was in She County, my father and mother and Xianggong were never picky, and the clothes of the Ye family of the Wang family were almost handed over to the tailor at that time. But. It is rare to use any new style of silk crepe, most of the time it is simple Hangzhou silk and silk. Songjiang cotton, as long as it is comfortable to wear. ”

Mrs. Su learned from Li Rusong that Wang Fulin was the son of the Wang family of Songming Mountain, the nephew of Wang Daokun, and the Wang family was a famous salt merchant in Yangzhou. Born in such a rich family, Wang Fulin is so simple, which makes her quite emotional. Not to mention anything else, that is, the children of her own family, the experience of poverty and lowliness in the early days have long been forgotten, and now they live a very luxurious life, even if she asks her daughter-in-law and daughter to give cloth shoes and clothes as birthday gifts every time she has a birthday, but she knows that they have never thought so!

Wang Fulin saw Mrs. Su's eyes and knew that people would definitely be wrong. In fact, he has never been willing to wronged himself, but he is a foodie, but the requirements for wearing are really low, the material is comfortable and the style is generous, and he is not sensitive to some strange clothes such as Taoist robes, and there are only a few people in the family, how convenient it is to outsource all the clothes of the four seasons to the tailor, why do you have to raise a few people who do needlework at home, how can there be so much work to do, the old tailor is professional. However, when he saw Shen Yourong glancing at himself with admiration, and Shen Maoxue nodding approvingly, he had no idea.

Strange people say that after Jiajing Longqing, the world is extravagant, and it has reached its peak in Wanli, but he is a small family with the Wang family in Songming Mountain, and he is not as good as these losers!

"It's good for a husband to sing with a wife."

Mrs. Su finally just praised it. When she learned that Wang Fulin and his wife and the Shen family's uncle and nephew walked through the marching road of Jizhen in the middle of winter before, enjoying the scenes of the various Guancheng along the way, and said that there are still many places where the side wall has not been repaired, but most of the Guancheng and Duntai enemy towers have been completed, she thought that after Qi Jiguang took office in Jizhen, although it was far from Li Chengliang who fought with the Mongolian Jurchens again and again on the Liaodong side, but she was more than pampered, she couldn't help but secretly think to herself, just repairing the border wall and setting regulations was enough as Qi Jiguang's capital to stand tall. For a while, she was very less interested in talking, and gradually remembered the husband of the class teacher a little absent-mindedly.

At the reception banquet at noon, because Mrs. Su came back, Li Rusong specially instructed him not to be too extravagant, but the cook was cautious, and there were no delicacies such as bear's paws, so he saw that when his mother was entertaining guests, his eyes were full of annoyance, and he didn't know that he had overdone it. So, after sending the guests back to the courtyard, he sighed and honestly went to his mother to plead guilty. As for what that meal tasted like, of course, it was not enough for outsiders.

As for Wang Fulin, he has seen the situation of Qi Jiguang and Mrs. Qi's Wang, and he has seen the situation of this Mrs. Li's Su family, although he has not seen Li Chengliang yet, and he doesn't know if the other biggest purpose can be achieved, but he really feels that this trip is worthwhile. Shen Yourong was full of interest to find the soldiers of the General Military Mansion to compete in martial arts, Shen Maoxue was not at ease and had to follow, he did not stay in the guest house of the General Military Mansion for a lunch break, but took Xiaobei out directly. The couple got rid of the stalkers with the tacit cooperation of sneaking over the wall in the past, and found a teahouse with the most foreign businessmen that they had already seen before.

I have been with the Shen family's uncles and nephews since they arrived in Guangning City before, and they are not very easy to come up with the means to inquire, but now that they have moved into the General Military Mansion, they have to know themselves and their opponents. Even before leaving, Wang Fulin checked Li Chengliang's resume through Wang Daokun, but after all, it was only something in the credit book, and as for more information about Li Chengliang, there were only those crimes impeached by the imperial history. For the Li family in Tieling, Wang Daokun, who had been to Liaodong once before, only knew that Li Chengliang married his wife Su, and had a total of six sons, five of which were from the Su family, and in addition to those achievements. Other details are scarce.

After all. The rise of Li Chengliang. It's been less than a decade. Compared with Qi Jiguang, who has made many meritorious contributions on the battlefield of anti-Japanese resistance and has been promoted little by little, Li Chengliang's experience can really be called a legend. Before the age of forty, Li Chengliang's family was so depressed that he almost had no money to go to Beijing to handle even a hereditary military position, but after Jiajing finally succeeded in the hereditary command of Tielingwei in 45 years, he became the deputy chief soldier of Liaodong in just two years, and it is not an exaggeration to describe the words "being promoted to an officer" as if riding a rocket. And only three years later, because the general soldier died in battle. Li Chengliang was promoted to the commander-in-chief of Liaodong by the line of fire, and since then, he has been fighting every year, and he has made great achievements every year.

And at this time, the teahouses are full of businessmen, and the reason why they came to Liaodong outside Shanhaiguan is nothing more than for the word profit. Everyone knows that Li Chengliang won the battle and defeated the coalition forces of Wang Gao and Tainingwei and other Mongol Tatars in Jianzhou. After a hiatus, the mutual market should be reopened. Once the trade is opened, it means that they will be able to get the finest furs, deer antlers, ginseng and other precious goods from the Changbai Mountains. At the same time, a lot of the goods they have hoarded in their hands will also be useful.

And among all kinds of voices, there are also people who are talking about Li Chengliang's family affairs. Wang Fulin was not interested in doing business on Li Chengliang's territory in Liaodong and getting a piece of the pie in the bowls of many merchants, but he was very interested in the Li family's affairs. At this moment, because it was someone at the adjacent table and someone at the adjacent table was gossiping, he pricked up his ears for fear of missing a word.

"Li Dashuai has a total of six sons, and Mrs. Su gave birth to five of them, to say that this is because Li Dashuai was humble before the age of forty, naturally it is true, but it is said that after a man is rich, he will definitely have a group of concubines, and the wife of the chaff is also regarded as an ornament, such as the one in the family of Qi Dashuai in Jizhen Town, but what about this Mrs. Su? Not to mention disciplining children at home, even outside, those partial generals in Liaodong are not afraid of her. I think when the marshal went from a general to a deputy commander-in-chief, guess what she did when she just reached forty? ”

"A woman is forty, in the end, she is no longer prosperous, and at that time, the handsome man has begun to soar, could it be that she is a concubine and a maidservant, and she is jealous?"

"Jealous? Our handsome lady has never done such a tasteless thing as jealousy! Da Shuai is a lady's thoughts, she is good, nodded and said that it is common sense for men to take concubines at forty, and directly ordered people to look for them, and bought a top beauty back as a side room. She didn't care about herself, she went back to Tieling once a year to sweep it, and she stayed for several months, and she also let her son and daughter-in-law who stayed with Dashuai treat the side room as if she were herself, otherwise she would lose her temper as soon as she came back, and the name of virtue was known to everyone in Liaodong. In addition, every time she inspected the major forts and military towns along the way, the soldiers of Liaodong all admired her, and her virtuous name and Qi Dashuai's wife could not be compared. ”

"I've also heard that in addition to this side room, Dashuai has a lot of other pets over the years, but most of them are fresh for a few days, so only this side room gave birth to a son."

Wang Fulin didn't have much interest when he heard that what was going to happen next was some of Li Chengliang's room, and when he looked up and saw Xiaobei holding his cheeks thoughtfully, he asked in a low voice, "Are you thinking about that lady?" ”

"Hmm. If you want me to say, did Mrs. Su see through that Li Dashuai is already rich and proud, and since she has the intention of looking for flowers and asking willows, she simply wants to open up and find the most beautiful one to put in front of him? She went back and forth between Guangning and Tielingwei by herself, out of sight and out of mind, and by the way, she could also attract the hearts of the soldiers, and gave Li Dashuai a long face, and sowed a good name for herself, anyway, her son gave birth to five, and she had a life in hand, which was enough for the back half of her body to worry. When Xiaobei said this, he suddenly sighed himself, "But I am also happy that Mrs. Xu is a true virtuous person who is familiar with the female commandments, and if she loves him, she will follow him in everything." ”

"What people think, we can't guess."

Wang Fulin shrugged his shoulders, drank half a cup of tea like a cow, and waited until he sat for a while before he dropped a few tea money and pulled Xiaobei away. After turning around the street a few more times and coming to a secluded place, he whispered: "In this way, Mrs. Su's voice in Liaodong is very high. It's just that there is a difference between men and women, although I am a junior, but it is not good to keep in front of people. Fortunately, I brought you here, and then I have to take the route of lady politics. I will give you a difficult task, before Li Dashuai returns to Guangning, you go to walk around in front of that lady, and you are completely familiar. ”

Seeing that Xiaobei was stunned when he heard this request, he coughed dryly and said: "You know, I have never liked climbing dragons and attaching phoenixes, and after getting to know Zhang Jingxiu, I don't go to that Shoufu's house, let alone Li Chengliang, the general soldier of Liaodong who has left Beijing, after all, I don't plan to be an official in Liaodong." However, I came to Liaodong this time, in fact, for the Jianzhou Jurchens, although after leaving the Shanhaiguan, I have been inquiring without a trace, and I also want to learn the language of the Jurchens, but since there is a shortcut, of course, it is more convenient to take a shortcut. As for me, take the opportunity to learn to ride and shoot with Mr. Shen. When we are ready, we will go to Fushun Pass. ”
