Chapter 102: The Guest of the Curtain
The craftsmen who built the houses in the Tiger Head Fort had not yet finished work, but the girls of the Red Sleeve Workshop had already leaned on the railing on the second floor, waving handkerchiefs and laughing to tempt passers-by.
Although the situation on the border is a little tense at the moment, there are still many merchants coming and going, and the business of the Red Sleeve Workshop is very good. Many passing businessmen have heard that there was a famous guy on the Qinhuai River who opened a red sleeve workshop, and there are two red cards, a Datong mother-in-law and a Yangzhou thin horse, many businessmen pass by to come to see and play.
"Lord Liu, Hu has been waiting for a long time." Hu Guang saw Liu Jun with a smile on his face.
Liu Jun couldn't help but be happy when he saw this smile, looking at it like this, it is estimated that there is a drama in cooperation.
Shen Man looked at Liu Jun with some grievances in his eyes, Liu Jun said goodbye that day, it really made her sad. When we met today, I was still a little resentful.
"Lord Liu still remembers where the door of my Red Sleeve Workshop opens, I thought that adults don't remember how to go to Red Sleeve Workshop." Shen Man said in a voice, "For so many days, I have actually seen people come and go half a time." ”
"It's been so busy these days." Liu Jun said with a smile.
A few people laughed and went upstairs, still the same box last time.
When Liu Jun came in, he found that there were several boxes inside.
"What is this?"
"This is a little thank you gift from the king of Anton County to Lord Liu, I hope you don't dislike it."
"Thank you?"
"Did Lord Liu save a girl when he was fighting bandits in Qiting before?"
Liu Jun nodded, "Her name is Li Shi Niang, what does it have to do with the king of the county?" ”
"I can't hide it, Shi Niangzi is the niece of our county king, and Shi Niangzi's father is Li Shuchu, the former deputy envoy of Shanxi Province. Hu didn't know that Lord Liu was the benefactor who saved our Miss Cousin, but this time the king of the county specially asked a certain generation of him to thank Lord Liu, just a little thanks, and hope to smile. ”
The gift list was handed over, and Liu Jun took it and glanced at it, "Five hundred taels of gold, three thousand taels of silver, and two good horses, a pair of Zhu Qishan Wen battle armor, and a Qiushui Yanling knife." ”
"The gold and silver are the gratitude of the county king, and the horse and the armored sword are specially given to you by our young lady."
Liu Jun looked at this gift list, a little surprised. He didn't expect that Li Zhen, who had been pestering him, was actually the niece of King Andong County, and his father was also a high-ranking official like the former deputy envoy of Shanxi.
However, this King of Anton County is also generous, five hundred taels of gold and three thousand taels of silver, which can add up to ten thousand taels of silver, this thank you gift is indeed very thick. Liu Jun thought about it, didn't refuse, and accepted it.
Ten thousand taels of silver is a lot for Liu Jun, but it may not be a big deal for King Anton.
With this unexpected relationship, Liu Jun and Hu Guang's next conversation went much smoother.
Shen Man personally played the pipa for the two of them, playing and singing by himself.
"Last time Lord Liu's proposal, our county king has considered it, and the prince is willing to cooperate with Lord Liu, but there are some conditions." Hu Guang stated King Anton's conditions.
Liu Jun listened carefully, and King Anton's conditions were a little unexpected to him. In general, he was willing to cooperate, but he gave Liu Jun a half-year probationary period, and if he could make results within half a year, starting next year, he would be given a nest of 1,000 salts, and Macheng would be assigned to him to sell alone. During this half-year internship period, Liu Jun helped King Anton crack down on salt dealers, and the only advantage was that King Anton was willing to buy back the seized private salt for six dollars per lead.
There are no other conditions, Liu Jun asked to capture the salt seller in exchange for silver, no. His proposal to seize the illegal salt in half or the king of Anton to buy back one or two was also changed to only one salt in exchange for six coins of silver.
Although the price was still very ruthless, Liu Jun didn't think about it for too long, and replied directly, "Happy cooperation." ”
Hu Guang breathed a sigh of relief, "Happy cooperation. ”
When the big thing was done, both of them were very happy, and the atmosphere became lighthearted. Although the cooperation has just begun, there are many specific things, but neither of them is in a hurry for this time.
Shen Man had already put away all the coping scenes this night, and stayed upstairs to accompany Liu Jun, and specially asked the restaurant next to him to send a table of five taels of silver for a first-class table, with eighteen dishes hot and cold, and two jars of aged Shaoxing wine.
Shen Man is good at dancing with long sleeves, although he still had some small grievances against Liu Jun at the beginning, but after a while, he has already drunk a glass of wine with Liu Jun.
She is very good at adjusting the atmosphere, Liu Jun and Hu Guang are two big men sitting there, one is a martial artist, one is a palace steward and one is a county regiment training general, it was difficult to talk together, but with Shen Man gags in the middle, this atmosphere is extremely warm, and the three of them drank very happily.
Although Liu Jun is said to be a martial artist and a practitioner, he is a later generation after all, and his poetry is naturally inferior to Hu Juren, but when it comes to knowledge, he is not inferior to him. In particular, Liu Jun also played up his strengths and avoided his weaknesses, and when it came to Taixi's overseas customs, Hu Juren's erudition was even more admirable. At this time, knowledgeable people knew the concept of the earth, and also knew that the earth is round, not a round place, and also knew that there are many countries on the continent overseas. But no matter how much they know, they don't know as much as Liu Jun.
Shen Man looked at Liu Jun, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, "This Liu Lian is really amazing, he can be literary and martial, and he is young and handsome." ”
She looked at Liu Jun frequently, and Liu Jun responded from time to time, and slowly the two of them were already staring at each other, and their eyebrows were flickering. Don't say much, the eyebrows can be affectionate, Hu Guangdu sees it in his eyes, although he is a little jealous in his heart, he can also see it. If I were twenty years younger, I would still have some ideas, but now, I'm old.
All three of them were very happy today, drank a lot of wine, and drank happily.
Hu Guang saw that the atmosphere was almost over, and a pair of dog men and women had already ignored him, so he directly deduced that he was not strong enough to drink and take a step first.
There were only two people left in the room, and there was an increasingly ambiguous atmosphere.
"You're not going to leave me again tonight, are you?"
The degree of Shaoxing wine is not high, but it is still a little good if you drink too much. Liu Jun also felt hot and drunk on her body, Shen Man was even more bold and unrestrained, she was not an ordinary lady, with her life experience, when she met a good one, she naturally had to chase it boldly.
"I feel too drunk, I'm drunk." Liu Jun said.
"It's better to be drunk, so I went upstairs to my room to rest. I'll help you up, I'm afraid you'll dislike me. ”
Speaking of which, Liu Jun is not the kind of hypocritical person, "I can't ask for it if I can bow down under the pomegranate skirt of the third lady." ”
Shen Man also drank a lot of wine tonight, and her amount of alcohol was very good, but at this time, there was also a surge of wine, and her face was crimson.
"I'll help you."
Shen Man got up to stroke Liu Jun, and Liu Jun also took advantage of the situation to get up, put half of his body on Shen Man, and followed her upstairs. The two were so close that Liu Jun could smell an excellent smell rushing into his nose, and he felt that he was even hotter.
The two entered Shen Man's room, and Shen Man directly helped Liu Jun to the bed.
The door was closed, the red candles flickered, and the air was filled with the intoxicating smell of rouge.
"Lord Liu, would you like to be my guest at the scene?"
Shen Man stared at Liu Jun with a pair of eyes.
"I can't ask for it." Liu Jun replied with a smile.
"Then what are you waiting for, the Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold." Shen Man reached out and pushed Liu Jun down on the bed, and then went to blow out the lamp.
"Don't blow the lamp, I'm going to look at you like this, look at your beautiful body, jade-like skin."
Shen Man's face became more and more crimson, and he smiled lightly, "Then don't turn off the lights, let you see enough." ”
A jade hand began to untie the clothes, and the clothes slipped off one by one.
"It's beautiful!"
Liu Jun sighed, Shen Man's figure is indeed very good, the plump places are plump, and the thin places are not fat, especially the skin is extremely white and red greasy, which makes people feel excited.
Shen Man leaned over and whispered, "Want me!" ”
With the warm nephrite in his arms, Liu Jun couldn't help but raise his head to kiss the beauty's seductive red lips
After the clouds and rain fell, the excitement dissipated, everything was silent outside the window, and Liu Jun fell asleep contentedly.
Shen Man was so excited that she couldn't sleep at all, she pulled the blanket to cover her snow-white body, got up sideways and looked at the young man who was as fierce as a tiger just now, a man who was five years younger than her.
His face was so hard, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he snored slightly when he slept.
She felt that she had never been so devoted to a man as she had been so fond of a man as she had ever been. But he hesitated and entangled in his heart, he was so young, so handsome, and five years younger than himself, and it seemed impossible for him to be with her.
Although she used to marry as a concubine, she didn't like the husband who had lived for a few years, let alone any emotion, but she found a way out for herself when she was young based on the experience of her predecessors.
Thinking about it, she actually didn't sleep all night.
When Liu Jun woke up the next morning, she was gone.
Liu Jun put on his clothes and sat in the room for a while, but he never saw her come back, and left the room with a smile and left the Red Sleeves Workshop. On the second floor of the Red Sleeves Workshop, Shen Man watched Liu Jun's sturdy figure leave, and his eyebrows frowned.
When he returned to Yacheng, Liu Jun met Zhang Shan, a hundred officials of the cavalry division on duty.
"Big brother, it's early." Zhang Shan greeted Liu Jun with a smile, but there was a bit of obscenity in his smile.
"Morning!"
"Big brother is really powerful, since Shen Sanniang came to our tiger head fort, I don't know how many people admire her, many sons and scholars and rich businessmen want to be her guests, and some people are even willing to pay a thousand taels of silver, just willing to spend a night with her, but they were all rejected by Sanniangzi. Unexpectedly, the eldest brother didn't have to spend a penny, so Shen Sanniang posted it upside down, not only won people, but also earned five hundred taels of gold and three thousand taels of silver, plus two horses and armor and swords. Great, big brother is amazing. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, those gold and silver are actually thank you gifts from others."
"Someone else? Could it be that the eldest brother not only got Shen Sanniang last night, but also killed two birds with one stone? Big brother, it's amazing! ”
Liu Jun slapped Zhang Shan on the back with his backhand, "What are you talking about, do you remember Li Siniang?" ”
"Remember, it's the little lady who claims to be the eldest brother and found her sister-in-law directly in the outer room, isn't she gone, what do you want her to do?"
Liu Jun shook his head and said, "This Li Shi Niang is not small, the niece of the king of Andong County, her father is also the former deputy envoy of Shanxi. These gold and silver gifts were all gifts from King Anton and Li Shi Niang to thank me for saving her last time. ”
Zhang Shan nodded, "Big brother, it seems that these ten ladies haven't played with you yet." This time it's over, she is the niece of the county king, and the daughter of the deputy envoy of the fourth grade, if she is about to bow to your overlord when the time comes, what should you do, big brother, do you want to resist resolutely, or close your eyes and enjoy? ”
"Get out!" Liu Jun interrupted Zhang Shan's joke, "Go and call the officers above the general level of the team to the council hall for discussion, King Anton has already agreed to our request for cooperation, now, we have to come up with some achievements to prove our nine-headed bird's ability!" ”
"King Anton agreed?" Zhang Shan nodded, "Isn't it the relationship between Li Shi Niang." ”
"It doesn't matter how King Anton agrees, let's just do our own thing." Liu Jun said.
