Although Miss Qu's raw rice had been cooked into cooked rice, Li Yuanqing didn't have much time to enjoy this exquisite dessert.
The Wang family has a big business and a lot of influence, at this time, Daming Lile has not yet collapsed, it can be said that 'the whole body is affected by a hair', and the consequences are unimaginable if you are not careful.
At night, Li Yuanqing was alone and quietly sneaked into Qu Minqiu's house.
In the house, there was some busyness, more than a dozen servants, packing up the three carriages, and Lotus Root was directing on the side.
Li Yuanqing glanced at Lotus Root, Lotus Root understood, hurriedly greeted Li Yuanqing, and led Li Yuanqing to Qu Minqiu's bedroom in the depths of the house.
Personal maids, generally the henchmen of large families, are also private property, young ladies get married, personal maids like lotus root, will also be used as a dowry, at present, to a certain extent, lotus root has actually become Li Yuanqing's private property.
Lotus Root is sixteen or seventeen years old, not a little girl, for this, she naturally knows that in the future, whether she can live smoothly or not, the key is the attitude of the man in front of her.
When she was about to arrive at Qu Minqiu's bedroom, Lotus Root whispered to Li Yuanqing: "Master, Miss is not in a good mood. Uncle, I don't agree that we should go to Quang Ninh now. ”
Li Yuanqing nodded, and suddenly grabbed Lotus Root's little hand, "Thank you." ”
Lotus Girl's pretty face turned red instantly, and she lowered her head slightly, not daring to look at Li Yuanqing's eyes.
Li Yuanqing whispered in her ear: "Serve Miss well, in the future, I will definitely not treat you badly." ”
Lotus was overjoyed in her heart, and nodded vigorously.
Li Yuanqing came to Qu Minqiu's room, Qu Minqiu was packing up the account book, and when she saw Li Yuanqing coming, her tears flowed out again and threw herself into Li Yuanqing's arms, "Yuanqing, we, it's not right for us to do this." ”
Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he was secretly glad in his heart, he was decisive yesterday, otherwise, this matter would be really difficult to handle.
"Minqiu, it's okay. Everything will soon pass. It's as if nothing happened. You will set off tonight, first to Shanhaiguan, and in less than five days, I will meet you. Let's go to Quang Ninh together, and when I get your papers, I will propose to the Qu family. ”
Hearing Li Yuanqing say that he proposed marriage, Qu Min Qiuqiao couldn't help but show a trace of expectation on her face, but she was soon replaced by panic, "Yuanqing, I, I'm worried about your side, the Wang family ...... after all"
She wanted to say something, but Li Yuanqing blocked her mouth hard.
It wasn't until Qu Minqiu was about to run out of breath that Li Yuanqing let go unsatisfactorily, "Minqiu, this is a man's business." You don't have to worry. There are many dreams at night, and only if you leave first, can I completely let go of my hands and feet. ”
Qu Minqiu is not an unreasonable person, plus Li Yuanqing thought of an excuse for her in advance, going to Guangning City to get documents, which is equivalent to the 'divorce certificate' of later generations, after all, she is still a member of the Zhang family in Guangning, if the Zhang family does not let go, even if it is Qu Mingrui and Wang Ergongzi, there is no good way.
Of course, before the general trend, unless the Zhang family didn't want to live, they would never use their little arms to twist their thighs.
And this excuse is above board, even if it is Qu Mingrui, it is not easy to refute.
"Yuanqing, you, you must be careful." Qu Minqiu's small hand tightly held Li Yuanqing's big hand.
Li Yuanqing nodded, "Without further ado, you guys leave now, and I'll let Guoshan escort you." ”
Qu Minqiu nodded vigorously, "Yuanqing, there are more than a dozen horses in the backyard, I let the horse steward watch here, he is my confidant, when the matter is done on your side, I will leave immediately." ”
…………
Heavy snow fell like goose feathers in the night sky, and three carriages, escorted by more than a dozen guards, gradually drove northeast.
Huang Guoshan accompanied him with two personal soldiers, so that Li Yuanqing was left with only Shunzi and six soldiers.
Seeing Li Yuanqing staring at the carriage for a long time, the horse steward said on the side: "Master, there is a lot of wind and snow at night, we have already walked this road many times, there will be no problem." Let's go back first. ”
Li Yuanqing glanced at Steward Ma, and suddenly smiled, "Ma Bo, Lotus is your little daughter, right?" ”
Steward Ma was stunned.
Li Yuanqing smiled and patted Steward Ma's shoulder vigorously, "I won't treat her badly." ”
After speaking, Li Yuanqing took the lead in walking back.
…………
The Wang family mansion is located in the middle of the Xuanfu Acropolis, which is a super mansion covering an area of more than 40 acres, which is majestic and extravagant.
Although the main body of the Ming Dynasty Jiubian Military Town is composed of military households, the development of these years has also seen a lot of private households pour in.
For example, the Xuanfu Acropolis, because it is an important passage connecting Shanxi and Guanwai, has also become extraordinarily prosperous here since the end of Wanli.
By night, the snow had covered the ground almost a finger deep, and there were no more pedestrians on the street.
At this time, by the courtyard wall on the side of the Wang family's mansion, several figures flashed by.
Li Yuanqing was dressed in white, and only two eyes were exposed.
He crouched under the wall and waved his hand at the Shunzi who were also dressed in white, and the Shunzi hurriedly set up a human ladder, Li Yuanqing jumped up and quickly disappeared into the confused darkness.
The Wang family's mansion is huge, but Li Yuanqing has already obtained the map of the Wang family's mansion in advance, and the goal is extremely clear.
At this time, it was approaching the end of the day, the snow was still falling, and the family members who were keeping vigil had already fallen asleep, Li Yuanqing walked quickly, and in a short time, he had already come to the backyard of the Wang family's mansion.
Behind him, heavy snow soon covered his footprints as well.
After all, it is a wealthy mansion, and even in the middle of the night, lanterns are hung on several main roads in the house, exuding a strong warmth in such a heavy wind and snow.
If it is in a poor family, it may not be willing to light a lantern during the New Year, let alone an oil lamp like the Wang family.
Entering the backyard, the scenery gradually becomes refined.
When it comes to enjoyment, these wealthy families have always been at the forefront of the times.
According to the news that Steward Ma got from a steward in the Wang family's mansion before, tonight, the second prince of Wang will stay in his ninth lady's courtyard, which is called 'Willow Garden', which is not far to the southeast.
Li Yuanqing climbed over a few courtyard walls, turned a few corridors, and soon, he saw the small courtyard of Liuyuan.
In front of this small courtyard is an artificial river, and on the bank of the river, there is a very delicate willow forest, which is probably named after this. It's just that it is late winter at this time, and the willow trees have withered, and there is no scene of willow shady.
Li Yuanqing was like a dexterous ape, and he easily climbed over the small courtyard wall of Liuyuan and came to the inner room.
It is said to be a small courtyard, but this is probably a lot larger than the courtyard of the common people's house, a bit similar to the courtyard of the capital in later generations, but the pattern is smaller, but the building is very exquisite, there are more than a dozen rooms.
At this time, most of the surrounding rooms were in darkness, except for the bedroom in the middle, which was still lit up, and there seemed to be a figure shaking.
Li Yuanqing glanced around, quickly leaned towards the corner of the master bedroom, and lightly cast a small hole in the window eaves.
Inside, a slender figure wearing only pajamas was walking around impatiently, and next to it, there were two little maids kneeling, and they didn't dare to come out.
"Has the pickled goods come back from the Ten Stewards? Is the master still coming tonight? The slender figure turned around and questioned the two little maids sharply.
"Ninth Madam, the slave maid is going to urge. The ten stewards said that the master would come soon. A little maid said, and hurriedly got up, and wanted to go out.
The Ninth Lady kicked the little maid hard, "Don't hurry up." ”
"Yes." The little maid was in pain, and tears flowed out, but she didn't dare to refute it, and hurriedly ran out of the door.
There was a huge water tank beside Li Yuanqing, and he was busy hiding behind the water tank, avoiding the little maid who went out in a hurry.
Soon, the little maid, who was only wearing thin clothes, hurriedly walked towards the door with a lantern.
Li Yuanqing returned to Xiao Kong and continued to explore inside.
Frankly speaking, this ninth lady is also a Peugeot, if you want to score more than 90 points according to the score of later generations, she is not very old, about eighteen or nineteen years old, it is the time of youth and beauty.
It's a pity that her expression is too mean, which destroys the beauty on her face, and I'm afraid she will drop 20 points this time.
Watching the little maid leave, Mrs. Nine took a sip of hatred, turned her head to the little maid beside her and said, "Xiu'er, you also go and urge." If the master doesn't come today, I will have to tear down the door of those foxes tomorrow. ”
"Yes." This little maid named Xiu'er didn't dare to slack off, and hurried out of the house.
Li Yuanqing hid behind the water tank again, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Could it be that the information is wrong? This second prince can't come to this willow garden tonight to spend the night?
In a deep house like this, there are too many opportunities to choose, and this is not guaranteed.
Li Yuanqing's eyes suddenly showed a touch of ruthlessness, he wanted to take a trick, but if the second prince didn't take the bait for a long time, Li Yuanqing could only change his plan.
Glancing around, he was about to find his way to leave, when a sudden sound of footsteps came from outside the courtyard gate, and a man shouted, "Master, please here." The Ninth Lady has been waiting for you for a long time. ”
"Hmm." A middle-aged man snorted majestically and strode into the courtyard.
Li Yuanqing hurriedly hid behind the water tank, this second prince was really pompous, and there were at least a dozen maids and servants behind him.
He walked quickly into the door of the master bedroom, and the ninth lady who got the news inside hurriedly greeted her, "The slave family has seen the master." ”
It's just that her attitude towards those two little maids is completely different from that just now, she is so charming that her eyes are oozing water.
The second prince of Wang was full of alcohol, and waved his hand impatiently, "Today, the master will rest at Mrs. Nine." Disperse y'oeuvre. Blessings. ”
"Yes. Sir, you command. A middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper hurriedly bowed forward.
"Call me again tomorrow morning and afternoon. Also, if you go and take someone to the Qu family to urge, it's been inked for almost a month, and you won't give the letter to the master. ”
"Yes. The little ones will do it early tomorrow morning. ”
"Hmm." The second prince waved his hand impatiently, "It's all gone." ”
"Yes."
As the second prince entered the door of the ninth lady, the crowd at the door quickly dispersed, leaving only the two little maids to wait outside the door to serve.
Through the small hole in the window eaves, Li Yuanqing finally understood what it means to be fickle, in front of the second prince of the king, the ninth lady instantly changed from a tigress to a lovely little yellow bird, which is really pitiful.
Soon, as the Ninth Lady continued to provoke and flirt, the room also entered the main topic.
The two little girls blushed outside the door, but they kept peeking inside.
Li Yuanqing sneered slightly, and came behind the two little girls lightly, and with a slap on the side, the bodies of the two little girls fell down softly in a moment.
At this time, there was a fierce battle inside, and these nine ladies may have had opera skills before, and their voices were even more exciting than singing.
Li Yuanqing carefully pushed open the door, rolled a few times, and came behind a table.
Although the candle flame was still lit in the room, the second prince Wang and the ninth lady were fighting in bed, and they didn't notice Li Yuanqing's movement at all.
Li Yuanqing glanced at it and quickly found the location of several braziers in the room.
Carefully took out a few packets of carbon powder from his backpack, and between the tumbling times, Li Yuanqing had already added these carbon powder to these braziers in turn......
