The smoke offensive continued until dark, when it began to subside. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the whole process, except for the difficulty of ignition, the next process is very smooth.

Even, in the second half of the journey, even if you don't need to fan the wind manually, the smoke will drift well towards the south along the wind.

And because these 'beacon fires' are a hundred steps away from the city, from the city head to the fire, there is a soothing approach angle, as long as it is not a sudden southerly wind blowing against the sky, it will not cause too much fatal harm to the Ming army on the city.

In addition, Li Yuanqing was well prepared, and the sons were not too affected.

But in the end, Li Yuanqing still did not dare to slack off, and strictly ordered the soldiers and auxiliaries who went out of the city to cover the fire with snow, and after they returned to the city, they first had to bathe in the city gate with hot ginger water, and then take hot ginger soup orally, and only after observing here for a day could they enter the city.

The city gate and the entire city wall area were re-sprinkled with a large area of quicklime for disinfection.

It is no wonder that Li Yuanqing would be so careful, in this era, even in later generations where medical technology is so developed, once a plague occurs, it will also be a nightmare and terrible existence.

And Zhenjiang City because of its location, whether it is Mao Wenlong or Li Yuanqing, can only choose to give up, when, when the strength of the two departments can really face off with the Houjin army on the frontal battlefield, is the time to fight according to the city and recover the city.

Even, Li Yuanqing has been thinking about whether there is any way to make the war horses of the Houjin Army breed a large number of plagues.

It's a pity that Li Yuanqing doesn't have much professional knowledge in this area, and after that, Jin Jun's horse breeding technology is already very mature, and Li Yuanqing has to give up temporarily.

In today's battle, although it is impossible to see the effect of the actual battle immediately, most of the generals have experienced it on the spot, and naturally know the threat of this smoke.

Coupled with the relationship of another great event, everyone's spirit will be better.

At night, the snow is getting heavier and heavier, but at this time, in the hall on the first floor of the Wangshan Tower, it is brightly lit and crowded.

Tonight, it is the day when Ren Yinger, the eldest lady of the Ren family, wants to enter the door.

According to Daming's unspoken rules, Ren Yinger is just a flat wife, and she can't do most of it, so she can only enter the door at night.

But Li Yuanqing still gave enough face to the Ren family and Ren Ying'er, and in the hall on the first floor of Wangshan Building, dozens of tables were held.

Li Yuanqing also changed into a bright red groom's official robe, and personally sat in the hall, drinking and chatting with many officers and gentry.

In fact, when Li Yuanqing was in his position at this time, there were few people who could let him kill the wine glass in one gulp.

But today, Li Yuanqing almost did not refuse to come, giving everyone enough face.

After a while, Li Yuanqing's face also swelled with a bit of alcohol.

Mao Wenlong smiled: "Yuanqing, it's almost." No matter how much you drink, you will snub the bride, but it will not be beautiful. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Marshal Xie is shining." ”

Mao Wenlong spoke, even if someone still wanted to find Li Yuanqing to drink, they had to weigh the weight.

Fortunately, Li Yuanqing was soon called by the matchmaker to rest in the hall, and those gentry who did not have the opportunity to drink with Li Yuanqing also had steps to step down.

In addition, Mao Wenlong personally sat in the dispatch, and the atmosphere in the hall quickly became warm again.

In the middle courtyard, Li Yuanqing's residence, the matchmaker Mrs. Cao was holding a gift slip and respectfully handed it to Li Yuanqing, "Master, this is the Ren family's gift list, it has been sent in from the back door, and the bride has also arrived at the door." ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, glanced at Lidan, and couldn't help but show an indescribable smile at the corner of his mouth.

The Ren family has really made a lot of money, and all kinds of jewelry are not counted, just in cash, there are 180,000 taels.

If all the possessions are added up, I am afraid that there will be more than 30 or 400,000 taels, which can definitely be said to be super generous.

Even if Li Yuanqing's gift money of 200,000 taels is excluded, he has earned at least 200,000 taels, and there is a delicate beauty.

This deal, no matter how you calculate it, will not suffer a loss.

After drinking a lot of wine, Li Yuanqing was also a little dry at this time, and said to Mrs. Cao with a smile: "Sister Cao, tonight, I have worked hard for you." It's not too early, so let's speed up the process. ”

How could Mrs. Cao not understand Li Yuanqing's thoughts? Busy Daxi said: "Yes." Master, you rest in the new house first, and the old body will do it immediately. ”

Looking at Mrs. Cao's back, Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile slowly, and Ren Ying'er's pretty face appeared in front of him again, and his heart couldn't help but be hot for a while.

Cao Pozi hurried to the back door, and at this time, Ren Qizhu personally escorted the sedan chair and had been waiting at the door for a long time.

Seeing Mrs. Cao coming, Ren Qizhu hurriedly said, "Sister Cao, how is it?" ”

Mrs. Cao smiled, "Congratulations to Uncle Ren." Congratulations to Uncle Ren. The lord invited the young lady to come in. ”

Ren Qizhu couldn't help but be overjoyed, according to the convention, when Ren Ying'er entered the door of the Li family tonight, she had to face the Li family's housewife first, but Zhang Yunniang was not in Zhenjiang at this time, and Li Yuanqing was the master.

And Li Yuanqing spoke, which means that after Ren Yinger returns to Changsheng Island, she doesn't have to suffer too much harsh criticism when facing Zhang Yunniang.

"Sister Cao, thank you!" Ren Qizhu hurriedly stuffed a silver ticket into Cao Pozi's hand.

Cao Pozi glanced at it and saw that it was a hundred taels, and couldn't help but be more happy, but for a moment, she thought about it for a while, but she hurriedly returned the silver ticket to Ren Qizhu, and laughed in a low voice: "Uncle Ren, the old body has already suffered a lot from the master, how can I ask for your silver again?" Let's hurry. The old man is in a hurry, and the old body does not dare to take this responsibility. ”

Before Mrs. Cao, Zhenjiang City could be regarded as a 'celebrity', but at that time, most people only regarded her as an old bustard who was out of breath, who would look at her squarely?

But since Daisy's affair and Li Yuanqing's relationship, her life is like an old tree blooming, and soon ushered in a new and broader stage.

First, she summoned the gentry in the city to the official hall for a banquet, which established her position in the hearts of the gentry in Zhenjiang City, and then, her two sons were successively promoted by Li Yuanqing to the auxiliary army and the army team, and they were both promoted to the general.

And she herself has become Li Yuanqing's confidant, and she has done many things that Li Yuanqing did not come forward in the city.

The fate of their family has long been closely linked with Li Yuanqing, and it is no longer inseparable.

Ren Qizhu couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that Mrs. Cao didn't accept his money.

Mrs. Cao was already smiling and commanding the sedan chair and began to enter the door.

Ren Qizhu couldn't help but be a little stunned for a while.

In the past, he also knew Cao Pozi, but because of the high school of the scholar, he disdained to associate with Cao Pozi.

But at this time, seeing that Cao Pozi was busy and orderly, Ren Qizhu suddenly found that he was far worse than Li Yuanqing in terms of employing people.

The sedan chair is an eight-lift sedan chair, although it is a little covetous for marrying a concubine, but Li Yuanqing has acquiesced to this, who dares not to give Li Yuanqing and the Ren family face, more serious in this detail?

The sedan chair is very stable, like a boat, but inside the sedan chair, Ren Yinger's mind is extremely complicated.

As the eldest lady of the Ren family, Ren Yinger has also imagined the scene of her wedding countless times, but she never imagined that it would be like this at this time.

Fortunately, the man who married her was second to none in Liaodi, and even in the entire Ming Dynasty.

But even so, Ren Yinger's heart is still indescribably complicated. She couldn't describe how she felt at this moment, she always felt like an object, not a person.

At this time, the sedan chair slowly landed, and Mrs. Cao's familiar voice came, "Miss Nian'er, the person has arrived." ”

Nian'er looked at this festive sedan chair with a complicated expression, but after a moment, she also reacted, and this was by no means the time for her to be in a daze, so she smiled and said, "Please let the bride in." ”

For a moment, Ren Ying'er only felt a cold wind drifting in front of her, and Mrs. Cao opened the door curtain with a smile, "Miss Ying'er, please." ”

The two personal maids hurriedly climbed out carefully, carefully picked up Ren Ying'er, and helped her walk inside, and there were ten maids behind her, who hurriedly followed into the door.

Cao Pozi smiled and commanded to be busy, and soon, the door was quiet, and Nian'er also went back to the room to rest.

Looking at the red candle flame in the room, Mrs. Cao suddenly smiled and said silently: "I hope God blesses you, bless Miss Ren, and give birth to a big fat boy for the master as soon as possible." ”

The wind and snow outside are still cold, but at this time, indoors, it is warm as spring.

Seeing that Ren Ying'er finally entered the door, Li Yuanqing, who had been waiting in this new house for a while, couldn't help but stand up.

"I've seen the master." How dare the maids face Li Yuanqing's might, and they saluted one after another.

Li Yuanqing waved his hand impatiently, "No need to be polite." Help Miss come over. ”

"Yes."

The maid didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly helped Ren Ying'er, who was wearing a red hijab and a bright red bridal outfit, to the edge of the bed and sat down.

The Ren family has a big business, and Ren Yinger has a total of twelve maids, all of whom are married in the same room, in other words, they are all Li Yuanqing's private property.

has lived in Daming for so long, and Li Yuanqing has long been at ease about this.

He smiled and sat on the edge of the bed next to Ren Ying'er, and grabbed her little hand that was a little twisted and entangled, "Miss Ying'er, it's hard work." ”

Ren Ying'er was stunned for a moment, her delicate body trembled slightly, but for a moment, she was also relieved, and let Li Yuanqing's big hand grab her little hand, "The bride has seen the master." ”

Next to her, Ren Yinger's cronies and maids brought a weighing rod to pick up the hijab, Li Yuanqing took it and picked up Ren Yinger's red hijab with a smile.

Suddenly, a delicate and beautiful face appeared in front of Li Yuanqing's eyes without reservation.

Although they had already met, at that time, Ren Yinger did not wear makeup, and she was far from being so shocked when she was dressed up at this time.

Li Yuanqing was also a little stupid for a while.

Even though he already has the current queen, several famous Oiran, but it is the first time that he has married a young lady from a large family.

Feeling the unique taste and wine smell of the man on Li Yuanqing beside her, Ren Yinger also came back to her senses a little, wanted to see Li Yuanqing, but she didn't dare, her long eyelashes blinked, just like a graceful and luxurious doll.

"Miss Ying'er." Li Yuanqing called softly.

"Sir." Ren Ying'er glanced at Li Yuanqing shyly, and lowered her eyes again, I felt pity.

At this time, the maid brought a glass of wine and respectfully placed it in front of the two.

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Miss Ying'er, it's time for us to drink." ”

Ren Ying'er was stunned, her delicate body trembled slightly, and after a moment, she nodded obediently.

The two drank a glass of wine, and the atmosphere in the room instantly began to change, and the temperature seemed to rise several degrees.

Li Yuanqing had no scruples, laughed and took Ren Ying'er in his arms, and kissed her pretty face wantonly.

The maids around him didn't dare to look at it, and they all retreated to the side, and they didn't dare to breathe.

But just when Li Yuanqing was about to kiss her red lips, Ren Ying'er suddenly turned her head away, and seemed to have the courage to say: "Master, you, do you really want to marry me?" ”
