"Bian Er, when I go back to Beijing this time, remember three things. The first told Erdou that I promised him to build a grain store. But I won't take the canal, that would be too conspicuous, I will take the sea route. Let him find a suitable shop in Beijing and Tianjin, and the name will be Erdou Grain Shop. I will send someone to find you, who will hold a folding fan in his hand, and draw an image of Chen Yuanyuan on the fan, and he will also tell you the code of the Heavenly King and the Tiger of the Earth, remember? ”

Bian Er nodded, his brain is still very smart, Yang Chao has examined his memory, and the most important thing is that this kid is jealous and hateful to Tartar, even if he is discovered, he is unlikely to surrender.

"Second, after you go, you can spread some rumors appropriately, such as attacking those Han officials who surrendered and having connections with Nanjing, such as Wu Sangui's intention to go south and join them. We can't keep in touch often, it's up to you to take care of everything. Third, don't rush to develop the inside line, you must pay attention to safety. And you must absolutely achieve a one-line contact, you only contact with Erdou, and the downline of your development only contacts you. Remember that you should never meet Erdou in broad daylight, Erdou is just a grain store shopkeeper, and his identity must not be exposed. ”

Bian Er nodded: "Remember." ”

Yang Chao told again: "You have to understand that every message you pass back can make our brothers sacrifice less and kill more Tartars." ”

After arranging for Bian Er to go north, Yang Chao immediately rushed to Jinchai Tower.

Liu Ru and the others were in Jinchai Tower at this time, and Yang Chao came to find her.

Before the Chinese New Year, Liu Ru returned to Nanjing and came back with the Bian sisters and the Caoyi Taoist.

The Bian sisters' family is good, the elder sister Bian Sai is married to a child of the family Zheng Jiande, and the younger sister is married to a Jinshi, which can be regarded as having a home.

Caoyi Dao and Liu Ru lived directly in the Jinchai Building, and they came to see Yang Wan.

For Yang Chao, rescuing Yang Wan was not a big deal, and it was entrusted to Wang Xiao, who took Yang Wan back to Nanjing three months before the city of Beijing. Wang Xiao only spent a hundred taels of silver to redeem her.

When Yang Wan returned to Nanjing, she has been living in Jinchailou and helping Jinchailou train a little girl.

Caoyi Dao and Yang Wan originally served a husband. Their husband was not proud in this era, but his fame in later generations was not small, because he wrote a book called Wu Beizhi, when Yang Chao was learning the art of war. I actually read this book.

"Miss Liu, why don't you see Gongzi Zhou?"

As soon as he arrived at the Jinchai Building, Yang Chao immediately joked about Liu Rus.

Liu Ru came, and Zhou Rui from Hangzhou also came.

Zhou Rui has always been dead set on Liu Ru, and was locked up by his family for a whole year, but last year Liu Ru went to Hangzhou, and after he heard about it, he quietly escaped from the house and followed Liu Ru is again, but Liu Ru is still lukewarm.

Liu Ruye's vision is too high. can't look down on such a rich businessman, so he can't help but glance at Yang Chao.

Yang Chao smiled and said: "Zhou Gongzi is infatuated, it's rare to be infatuated, why don't Miss Liu think about it?" ”

Yang Chao also felt that Liu Ru seemed to be a little too much, the Bian sisters were all married, the so-called generation of new people replaced the old, their group of famous prostitutes is indeed old, and now the new generation of Qinhuaihe has grown up, and it is the world of Ge Nenniang's generation.

Liu Ru sighed: "Gongzi Zhou is good, but I am not worthy of him." ”

Liu Ru was obviously insincere. If you can't look at it, you can't look down on it, or she pushed herself too hard.

In history, Liu Ru married Qian Qianyi, and the reason why she married Qian Qianyi was not entirely because of Qian Qianyi's status. Instead, Qian Qianyi was willing to meet Liu Ruye's requirements, material and spiritual requirements.

It is not a secret that Liu Ru is criteria for choosing a mate, everyone in the circle knows that she is unwilling to be like an ordinary Qinglou woman, who is carried into the house in the middle of the night with a small sedan chair, and he wants Ming Media to marry the scenery. and marry her as a wife.

Obviously, Zhou Rui's family can't do it.

Although the Zhou family is a businessman, they absolutely refuse to accept that the Ming media is marrying a Qinglou woman, if Liu Ru is willing to be a concubine, it is estimated that Zhou Rui's family will definitely not stop it, after all, the performance of Zhou Rui's only son also makes the family helpless.

Miss Liu smiled. might as well say it bluntly, how can you marry Gongzi Zhou? Eight sedan chairs, Ming media is marrying, and the gift of the wife? Anything else? ”

Liu Ru glared at Yang Chao, and said politely: "He has to have a background!" ”

Zhou Rui has never failed the imperial examination, so he is still a white body, and it seems that he has no hope of passing the examination in this life, Liu Ru is completely embarrassed.

Yang Chao laughed: "That's good, it's just a mere background, I'll take care of it!" ”

"You?"

Liu Ru glanced at Yang Chao, and she didn't dare to say that Yang Chao didn't have the strength to give the scholar a background.

But Liu Ru shook his head: "That's not good. It's up to him. ”

Yang Chao said: "Then it's decided!" Zhou Gongzi come in. ”

Soon Zhou Rui walked in, and he had been eavesdropping outside the door.

Liu Ru didn't know that when he suddenly saw Zhou Rui at this time, he thought of the joke with Yang Chao just now, and his face turned red.

Angry: "Zhou Gongzi, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person!" ”

Yang Chao helped rescue Yang Wan, Liu Ru couldn't blame Yang Chao, and his anger was on Zhou Rui.

Zhou Rui was suddenly anxious: "Miss Liu, listen to my explanation." ”

I haven't seen him for a few years, Qin Huai Bayan is old, all of them are close to twenty years old, and Liu Ru is already twenty-six or seventeen.

Zhou Rui, who has been pursuing her hard, is not small, but she has always refused to get married, and the reason why she was grounded by her family for a year is also for this reason, but this person died of a heart, and Liu Ru did not marry.

"Miss Liu, please listen to the next word. There are many good men in this world, but it is rare to have a lover. You should know Zhou Gongzi's intentions. It's just a background, Zhou Gongzi has decided to go north and do fine work for the imperial court, if he can get away with it and make great contributions, what is a mere background. Maybe he has no literary talent and can't pass the exam to lift people and jinshi, but his heart is to add up all the people in the world, and I'm afraid he won't be able to catch up. ”

When Liu Ru heard this, he was shocked, he didn't expect Zhou Rui to go north to do fine work, this is a matter of nine deaths and a lifetime, and he couldn't help but look at Zhou Rui.

Liu Ru is a woman with a great sense of justice and family and country feelings, and she can stay in history not only because she knows how to wind Hu Xueyue, but also because she is famous in history, she married Qian Qianyi, and the Qing army went south, she persuaded Qian Qianyi to throw herself into the water, but Qian Qianyi refused, saying that the water was too cold. Later, Qian Qianyi surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty and went to Beijing to be a high-ranking official, Liu Ruyi stole men in Nanjing, the purpose was to deliberately humiliate Qian Qianyi, the so-called husband is not a loyal minister, a concubine is not a wife, Qian Qianyi's son sued, Qian Qianyi understood what Liu Ru meant, so he had no face to blame. After Qian Qianyi was dismissed, with her help, he began to engage in anti-Qing activities again.

"Are you really going?"

After a long time, Liu asked Zhou Rui.

Zhou Rui nodded.

Liu said: "Why are you doing this? ”

Zhou Rui smiled.

It goes without saying that this is for her.

Yang Chao said on the side: "Miss Liu, give me a quasi-word." Give him a thought of coming back alive. Maybe when he goes, he will say goodbye forever. ”

Liu Ru was a little flustered, he really didn't expect Zhou Rui to be able to do this, in the past, Zhou Rui tried his best to get close to her, but she was indifferent, because there were too many men pursuing her, there were more dignitaries and scribes, Zhou Rui was just the most inconspicuous one of them, but there was only one who could do this step for her, not hesitating to risk her life.

The reason why Liu Ruyi's mate selection criteria are set so high is that it is wrong to say that he is high, and it is not right to say that he is greedy for vanity, in fact, it is more accurate to say that he has a deep inferiority complex deep in his heart.

Among Qin Huai's eight yans, her literary talent is the best, but her background is the lowest.

Chen Yuanyuan and Dong Xiaowan were born in wealthy merchant families, and Li Xiangjun and Gu Mei were raised by Yang's mother and cared for since childhood.

The Bian sisters are even more from official eunuch families, only Liu Ru can't even understand her own background, she has been bought and bought since she was a child, and she doesn't even know who her parents are and where she was born.

So subconsciously, she wants to achieve a higher status than others, so she wants to marry someone with high status and fame, and she wants to get different treatment, and she wants to marry Mingmei.

But this time she was really moved by Zhou Rui, and even a little frightened, and she did not hesitate to risk her life for a woman like her.

She nodded for a long time.

Zhou Rui was already carried away by happiness at this time, and he was so excited that he didn't know how to deal with himself.

Yang Chao felt a little shameless on the side, was this obviously taking advantage of this simple young man's feelings.

But he really couldn't find the right person.

If you want to find a decent person to go to Beijing, Diao Erdou has a flexible mind, but he was born in a military household, and he doesn't have the temperament of a rich businessman at all, this is not something that can be raised, Yang Chao must find an authentic person from a rich businessman to do this, and he has to be absolutely trusted.

Wang Xiao was originally a good target, but unfortunately his relationship with Yang Chao was known to everyone in Jiangnan, he went to Beijing too easily to be discovered by the Manchus, Zhou Rui was different, he was born in a wealthy merchant family, and he was infatuated with Liu Ru, and he did not hesitate to die.

Such a person is placed in Beijing, and Yang Chao is not worried that he will defect at all.

Therefore, Yang Chao's plan is to let him go north, as the owner of the grain store, and Diao Erdou is just the shopkeeper who does things for him, recruiting one or two local accounts and guys, such a shop will not arouse suspicion at all.

Taking advantage of a terminally ill person like Zhou Rui, Yang Chao really has no choice, there are many businessmen who have a relationship with him, but there are not many who can be absolutely assured that the knife holder will not be shaken on the neck, businessmen seek profit, they are originally a class that is good at compromise and retreat, and their culture is destined to have not too many martyrs among them.

Sure enough, after sending Zhou Rui away, Liu Ru scolded Yang Chao for being shameless.

"Being an official is based on thick black, and he can't be a good person!"

Yang Chao explained. (To be continued.) )
