Chapter 242 The boat arrived at Jiangxin and regretted being late
In the room, Cuiyu opened her eyes and saw that Zhao Guanhou had woken up early and was looking at herself, her face flushed slightly, "Last night, you haven't seen enough?" β
"Of course I can't get enough of it. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info ice muscles and jade bones, which is so easy to see enough. Zhao Guanhou spoke, but his hands were already dishonest, and Yang Cuiyu hurriedly dodged, "No...... The rules in the courtyard, after a while, the sisters will come in to congratulate the brother-in-law and ask for a reward, you hurry up and put on your clothes, otherwise, they will do everything. I don't want to hang your arms with them for the past three days. It's been a few days, and I don't care what you do. β
"Don't worry, after three days, I won't hang my arms with them, only with you." Zhao Guanhou said as he got dressed, personally took the clothes and came over to help Cuiyu put them on, and then turned out her dressing box, looked at it in a small mirror, and helped her comb her hair and dress up.
It didn't take long for Jiu Ma to walk in with three or four women to say goodbye, but in fact, she asked for money. In the past three days, the Fengyi class has not accepted foreign guests, and all expenses have to be taken care of by the groom's officials, which is a huge amount of money. Fortunately, Zhao Guanhou brought a lot of money, and it was not difficult to pay.
When those women saw Cuiyu's eyes black and bloodshot eyes, they knew that they had been at the mercy of most of the night last night, and they didn't rest much at all, so they couldn't help but smile. Seeing that Zhao Guanhou was young and handsome, and he had a lot of silver on his body, he couldn't help but be secretly jealous of Yang Cuiyu and found such a benefactor to comb the cage. From him alone, I don't know how many silver taels he can earn.
When those girls went out, Zhao Guanhou stopped Jiu Ma, "Jiu Ma, wait a minute, we have a deal to discuss." β
Jiu Ma is also an old Jianghu, and she knew what he meant when she heard it, "My lord, we don't say dark words, you want to redeem yourself for Cuiyu, right?" It is said that the two of you are affectionate, and I can only be an adult. However, in our industry, there are also rules in our industry. I have made a lot of money in order to cultivate jade, and if I am taken by you just after leaving the pavilion, I will lose my old capital. Like you, what other lady in the world would be stupid enough to cultivate a big girl? Since she is out of the cabinet, she has to go to the sea and work with me for three years before she can redeem herself. But since she's with you, you can also come up with a sum of money to take her over. It's like an adult raising an outer room here, and when you come, you have your own jade to serve. When she doesn't come, she only plays the piano and sings songs with those old friends, and recites poetry against her, and she will never stay overnight. β
Without waiting for Zhao Guanhou to speak, Cuiyu had already taken over the words, she pulled out a hairpin from her head, and looked at her jade face, "Ninth Mother, you said that if I draw a cross here, those old friends, will they still find me to chant poetry and listen to music?" β
Jiu Ma was stunned, "Girl, what do you mean by this?" Mom is for your own good, and it is also the rule of the industry, and she did not deliberately embarrass anyone. That's how everybody in our line of work came over. Think about it yourself with your conscience, what do I do to you, even if you stay, as long as your heart is towards the adult, will I force you to do something sorry for Lord Zhao? β
"Mom is good to me, and my daughter knows it, so I want to repay you, if it weren't for that, I would have drawn it on my face by now. I promise you, if I make a cross, the crown will draw a few more on your face. Of course I understand what you mean, but you don't understand what I mean. His daughter is already his person, and she wants to live with him, and she will no longer do this business. In the past few years, I have made a lot of money for our Fengyi class, and it is not good to be content, too greedy. β
She sneered, "Mom, my daughter knows you too well, and she really knows what we do." How many of those so-called outer rooms that are kept outside do not accept other guests in the end? You love me, but you love silver even more. If you are a person like Xiao Na and Lan Gong, who is willing to pay a high price, I am afraid that you will still be difficult to be a person when the time comes. I don't want you to be embarrassed, and I don't want to make a fuss about last night, so you let me go one way, and you also let you go one way, and everyone is easy to talk to each other. Otherwise, call a few brothers to talk to you, and I'm afraid you will have to nod obediently. You still want to do business in the capital, and you want to use me to apologize to Gong Lan and continue to maintain this business, I advise you, don't dream. Didn't you hear, the guns outside have stopped, although I am not a military attachΓ©, but I fight more than a dozen countries with one country, and I know that I will definitely not win. When the foreigners enter the city, do you still want to do this business? β
Zhao Guanhou also said: "Ninth Mother, what Cuiyu said is very true, you will definitely not be able to do this business." I look at the jade face, find a place for you in Shandong, and let you continue to make a living. Now Shandong has both rich people who have fled from all over the country, as well as foreigners who have taken refuge, and they are very rich, and your business in Shandong is guaranteed to be more prosperous than in Beijing. As for the jade ransom money......"
Without waiting for him to say, Yang Cuiyu said: "Even if it is the cost of Lord Zhao to settle our Fengyi class, it is good to offset it twice." Mom, you are a person who understands and is very good at settling accounts, and you should know that we are not taking advantage of you. β
Although she is a popular girl, in fact, one night out of the cabinet, a hundred taels of silver is a sky-high price, and the price will have to go down in the future. The reason why 30,000 was called out yesterday was really because Wang Jixun made a fuss first, and then Zhao Guanhou used it to support her scene. With this money to ransom her, it is more than enough. It's just that the prostitutes have always been insatiable, and since Jiu Ma got 30,000 yuan, she wanted to knock out more, but she didn't want to be called out by Cuiyu.
These money are knocked out, and the jade can be divided, and it is said that it should also be on the side of Jiu Ma, and now she is deliberately protecting Zhao Guanhou, which shows that her conscience is undoubted. Jiu Ma was afraid of those soldiers outside, once she started a fire and killed her, it was not impossible to do it, so she had to grit her teeth and say: "It's me who is confused, it's me who is confused." Cuiyu is right, we will move this business to Shandong, and the expenses on both sides will be offset. β
When she got out of the room, she looked back hatefully, and scolded in a low voice: "Shameless slut, just one night, just one night, just like this, he knocked your private room clean, and he was tired of playing it, don't come to me to cry when the time comes!" β
Waiting for Jiu Ma to leave, Cuiyu came to coax Zhao Guanhou, the amount of 30,000 silver yesterday was too amazing, she was only worried that Zhao Guanhou was greedy for the temporary replenishment of military salaries, and took out all her savings to offset them, and thought about whether to discuss with Jiu Ma and get some back.
Zhao Guanhou shook his head, "Silly girl, since I gave it out, how can I ask for it back." That money is a little more, but who let you out of the cabinet yesterday to save face for you, it should be. With yesterday's one, it is estimated that in the next few decades, the eight major alleys will have to have your name, and you will have more face? β
Cuiyu sat on his lap and shook his head: "I don't want to lose face, as long as you ...... Guanhou, we'll invite Shigege later, and I'll want her to make amends in person. She can beat or scold, and she will always meet in the future, and it is better to say some things early than later. β
didn't wait for them to invite, Yuqing had already come. Yesterday she went to King Qing's mansion, and went to see King Qing, the father and daughter had a secret conversation, King Qing knew that his daughter understood his intentions, and knew that Zhao Guanhou took good care of him, and he was very relieved. And Yuqing urged his father to leave Beijing quickly, but King Qing refused.
In the afternoon of the same day, the situation changed again, so Shigege contacted a detachment of men and horses of the right army to defend it until it reached Rouge Alley. When the three of them met, Yang Cuiyu didn't say a word, knelt down to offer tea, and found a duster to put on his head, and asked Shigege to punish him.
Yuqing threw the hair duster away, "You, what a living treasure, how could I eat your vinegar, if you want to eat, you will also eat his vinegar!" As she spoke, she stretched out her slender jade finger and pointed at Zhao Guanhou, "Originally, you were my woman, but now you have been taken away by him, you say, should this vine duster smoke him?" β
Shigege has some double-knife fetishes, and Zhao Guanhou also knows very well in his heart that he is not the thought of this era, so he naturally has no prejudice against this kind of behavior. However, when Cuiyu heard this, she was ashamed and didn't dare to raise her head, always feeling that some of her selfishness had been exposed, and she was ashamed of herself.
Zhao Guanhou pulled her up and hugged her in his arms with Shigege, "Since Yuqing is not strange, you don't have to worry about anything, go back, you two will accompany me ...... together"
Before he finished speaking, he was bumped by Yuqing on the rib with an elbow, "I don't think it's beautiful, I won't do that kind of thing." I'm here to tell you that there have been changes in Beijing, and I'm afraid that your people will also drive out of Beijing. β
In the Forbidden City, the shouting and killing last night was uneasy, and the two palaces shook. Early this morning, he immediately called King Qing and Han Rong to rise, and deliberately separated King Duan, obviously to exclude him. Cixi summoned the two of them, first asked about the attack of the rear army of Wuwei last night, and then discussed a few more things.
The first is to send a large number of melons, fruits, rice, and grains to the embassy, and even some guns, ammunition and medicines, to ensure that the embassy will be supplied without shortage and will not starve.
The second is to make two holy decrees. The first holy decree was issued to Gang Ziliang, who led the Flying Tiger Regiment to besiege the North Hall, "Now that all soldiers are besieging the Xishiku Church, if any parishioners come out, they must not cause harm, and they should be protected by the team." If he can't hold on, he should devise another good plan and never bombard him with guns. "Since the cloud is besieged, and it is not allowed to be bombarded without guns, it is obvious that he is not very prepared to storm the church.
The second decree is issued to the Cabinet of Ministers, urging the provinces to obey it. "Because of the previous provocations between China and foreign countries, the merchants and priests of various countries in China have nothing to do with military affairs, and the governors are ordered to protect them as usual. Now that the army is gathered, the commanders of all walks of life should also look up to this intention, and all foreign merchants and priests should try to protect it, so as to be gentle and distant in the court. β
In addition to protecting foreign merchants and clergy, the parishioners are also among the protections, because this "is also a pure country, and there is no territory to divide, but since the provocation of the Fist Sect, many of the parishioners have entrenched in villages, dug trenches and fortifications, and resisted the officials and soldiers. The first thought is that he is forced to fear sin, and if he can repent and rehabilitate, he can still open his face. β
These two policies clearly show that the wind direction of the imperial court has changed, and the queen mother has changed from the previous tough main battle to the main peace. He also sent King Qing to negotiate with the embassy office, hoping that the ministers of various countries would leave the capital. The imperial court would send a powerful minister to lead a team of troops to protect him and escort him to Jinmen.
As far as Cixi is concerned, this is already a soft confession, hoping that the foreigners can nod their heads and take a step back. When the minister left the capital, Daikin could be regarded as saving a little face, and there were also discussions about future peace talks. However, a series of actions of the Jin State have completely lost their credibility, and all countries no longer trust the Jin State, and no one dares to leave the legation, for fear that as soon as the front foot leaves, the back foot will be besieged and killed. This idea of harmony was shattered.
Then there was the patrol of the Yangtze River Sailor Minister Li Bingheng from the southeast to Beijing and came to King Qin. He is a native of Fengtianhai City, a county city that donated classes, and is known as "the first honest official". Later, during the war between Jin and Cape, he was stationed in Longzhou to preside over the Western Transportation Bureau, and in the midst of the great hardship of the salary, he was not only able to feed the soldiers, but also had medical treatment and medicine for the wounded, so Feng Zicai's victory in Langshan was born.
He patrolled the Yangtze River as a minister of the Qin Mission, and was on the right side of the governors of Liangjiang and Huguang, and he led the signing of the telegram of mutual protection in the southeast. He led the newly recruited 2,000 Xiangyong people into King Qin, which proved that the southeast is still the world of the imperial court, mutual protection is not a self-reliant country, and the southeast is still the golden world.
In addition to this joy, Shandong follow-up Qin Wang stopped, two battalions of soldiers and horses, and was about to arrive in Beijing, under the great joy of mercy, Li Bingheng was appointed as the assistant of the military guard, which was Han Rong's deputy, and ordered him to control the division of the Qin King from all walks of life and go to Jinmen to resist the foreign soldiers.
The 2,000 Hunan soldiers recruited by Li Bingheng had not been in battle, and although they had made up their equipment, their actual combat effectiveness was not enough, and the people they relied on were still the right army of Wuwei. In addition to Zhao Guanhou's beating of Chenglan, Duanwang played a book, saying that it was to be dealt with strictly. According to the news inquired by King Qing, Cixi probably ordered the generals of the artillery battalion and asked Zhao Guanhou to lead two battalions of soldiers to follow Li Bingheng to resist the foreigners. It's just that the will has not been made for a while, and Li Bingheng's men and horses have galloped thousands of miles to help the poor and tired, and they also need to rest before they can leave.
Yang Cuiyu heard the news, and her face was gloomy, "I still hurt Xiao Engong, if it wasn't for me, why would he be such an errand and go to fight against foreigners." This errand must not be accepted, it is a big deal...... Let's run. β
Yuqing also said: "I rushed over to deliver a letter to you, that's what Ama meant, he wants you to prepare early, think of a way to put this errand away." If you really can't push it off, you just run away. In short, this battle can't be fought, Li Bingheng and you soldiers don't know the generals, they don't know the soldiers, and the divisions of the kings from all walks of life are put together, and they have never cooperated before, how can they win the battle. β
Zhao Guanhou took the hands of the two, "I know very well what you two mean, and I am also very happy about your concern." It's just that you can't just run away, it's hard to explain in business. Since the Queen Mother wants my general, I have no choice but to respond to this sect first, and besides, I am also about to go to Jinmen to have a look, and then take one of your sisters out. I was still thinking about taking leave, but this time I even saved the leave, so I went to Jinmen for this reason. The two of you go with me, dress up as men and walk together, you can't stay in the capital left and right, and the nine mothers are also hurrying away. While it's still too late, hurry up and find a way to leave, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave if it's too late. (To be continued.) )
