Chapter 57: General Li Wenhe
Shen Xianhe was disguised and quietly went out of the city.
The current relationship between her and Huo Biao cannot be exposed in front of everyone, in front of the world, the Huo family and the Shen family are mortal enemies.
Chu Xi was particularly satisfied with Huo Biao's current hostile relationship with the Shen family, and Shen Xianhe and Huo Biao could only communicate in secret.
She dressed herself tightly, and wore a mask on her head, which completely covered her face.
The carriage drove slowly for about an hour, and Shen Xianhe finally came to the village that Huo Biao had agreed to.
It's really an unremarkable village, and you can even see the villagers farming around.
There was the sound of children running around and playing in the village, and after a while, the carriage stopped in a two-way courtyard.
"County Lord, this is it."
The person who spoke was the person sent by Huo Biao to answer it, Shen Xianhe stepped out of the carriage, and then walked into the courtyard.
After walking to the inner room, looking at Huo Biao, who was sitting on the table and drinking tea quietly, Shen Xianhe took off the mask on his head.
"Suddenly looking for me, and you don't say what's the matter in the envelope, say, what do you want me to do for you?"
A person like Huo Biao, if there is no need for anything or something to ask her, this man will definitely not be happy to see her.
"Have you heard of General Li Wenhe?"
Shen Xianhe recalled his memory, and vaguely had the impression of this person.
General Li Wenhe is particularly strong and famously powerful, and he is one enemy to one hundred on the battlefield.
This General Li has been fighting at the border all year round and has some reputation in the capital.
In addition to this, Shen Xianhe had also heard of General Li Wenhe's other reputations, and he spoke very straight, which offended many people.
In fighting on the battlefield, there is no strategy, and you must rely on the planning and command of the generals above.
General Li Wenhe mainly relied on brute force to kill the enemy, so over the years, Li Wenhe has become the warrior who kills the enemy, but he can't become a general like Huo Biao or Uncle Shen Xianhe.
"I know General Li Wenhe, General Huo, what are you asking General Li Wenhe to do?"
"General Li will come back for the New Year, he will bring his family to the capital, General Li has a pair of children, the son is still young this year, only ten years old, but the daughter is fifteen years old."
"Ten years ago, General Li saved Situ Kang's family on the way back, when Situ Kang took his family back to Beijing, he was attacked by mountain bandits on the road, and the guards around Situ's family were vulnerable, and almost the whole family was caught by mountain bandits and waited for death, but General Li happened to pass by, and he saved Situ Kang's family, after that, in order to express their gratitude, Situ Kang set his sister-in-law Situ Yongnian and General Li's daughter Li Changyue as relatives."
"By this year, General Li's daughter is already fifteen years old, and it stands to reason that the two families will discuss family affairs this year."
"It seems that these two families have nothing to do with the two of us, what are you trying to tell me? Or do you want me to do something? ”
Shen Xianhe asked Huo Biao suspiciously.
"General Li Wenhe once had a great kindness to me, and before returning to Beijing, General Li sent me a letter, asking me to investigate the current situation of the Situ family. In the past ten years, one has lived in the capital for a long time, and the other has lived in the frontier for a long time, although the two sides have contacts, but they have not met for ten years, General Li is not sure whether the Situ family is willing to continue this family business, if he is unwilling, General Li will not have an opinion, what he hurts the most is his own pair of children, General Li is absolutely unwilling to marry his daughter wronged. ”
"The matter of the Situ family, you can investigate it yourself, is it possible that in this matter, my connections are still wider than yours?"
Shen Xianhe became more and more confused.
Situ Kang is now a bachelor of Zhengyipin, and there are many students below, and the oldest student is Chu Xi, the current saint.
There are things about the Situ family, and Shen Xianhe really doesn't know about them.
The Situ family is a family of cultivation and reading, and the family cited by this kind of examination belongs to the Qingliu family and the scholarly family.
Shen Xianhe belongs to the Xungui family, and the social circles on the two sides do not coincide.
She just knew Situ Kang, Shen Xianhe hadn't even seen Situ Kang, and Situ Kang's son Situ Yongnian.
"County Lord, what does an inner house look like, if you don't contact it personally, it's actually a kind of reputation. The Situ family is a scholarly family, Mrs. Situ is a strict housekeeper, the Situ family does not have a bad reputation, and I am a rough man, I can't go to the inner house to meet the daughters of the Situ family, and the atmosphere of the inner courtyard of a family is very important for those who marry in......"
"The county lord, you grew up in the inner house, the intrigue between women, the county lord must be able to understand, no matter whether the marriage contract between the two families can be carried out normally, after returning to Beijing, the Situ family will definitely take the initiative to entertain the Li family for the sake of fame, when the time comes, Miss Li will definitely participate in various banquets, and also go to the Situ family to meet the elders of the Situ family, General Li's envelope revealed that Miss Li grew up in the border pass, her personality is relatively jumpy, and the etiquette is not very strict, he is worried that after the capital, Miss Li's way of behaving seems out of place in the capital.
After doing it for a long time, Shen Xianhe finally understood what Huo Biao wanted her to do.
Isn't it just for her to find a way to find out what the inner house of the Situ family looks like?
Confirm whether the family style of this family is really rigorous, and see if the female character of the Situ family is really honest and strict.
As Huo Biao said, this daughter of General Li is probably a straightforward person, and she probably has never experienced the back house.
"I bet that the person who wrote this letter is not General Li, I guess it is Mrs. Li, only a mother will think about things so carefully, will take into account the back house, General Huo, does General Li only have one wife, Mrs. Li, and no other concubines in the same room?"
Otherwise, Mrs. Li would not have been worried to this extent.
A child who grew up simply in a monogamous family, if he marries into a scholarly family, this scholarly family is really as good as the reputation.
If it is a devil who swallows people, a person like Miss Li who grew up simply may only die of incense.
"General Li does only have one wife, no other women, county lord, I called you here today to ask you for this matter, no matter whether this marriage contract goes on or not, please help General Li find out the situation of the Situ family's inner house, and also, before and after the year, Miss Li will definitely attend the banquets held between various noble ladies, please help a little when the time comes, don't let your miss be rejected by everyone."
"Of course there is no problem in promising you, but we once said that there were three requests, and now I will help you, and then there will only be two requirements left."
Huo Biao nodded directly.
"No problem, I've already used one of the requirements this time, and there will only be two left after that."
"I guess that General Li has the grace of his life to you, otherwise, you wouldn't have bothered so much."
Huo Biao smiled faintly.
"County Lord, this is not something you should inquire about, the two of us only have to cooperate and trade."
"Then I don't know if General Huo has anything else to tell me, if not, the county lord will go home."
Huo Biao looked at the woman in front of him deeply, and he asked curiously.
"The county lord's previous reputation, this general didn't say it, I think the county lord also knows, could it be that the county lord has been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger before, and now why is his true character exposed?"
Shen Xianhe was a well-known straw bale county lord in the entire Daqing Dynasty before, a vase beauty, but now he has become a smart beauty, Huo Biao is still a little curious.
He privately asked people to investigate Shen Xianhe's past experience, and it was indeed something that a stupid beauty did.
Now he actually tore his face with the emperor and exposed his strategic skills, which really made Huo Biao a little curious.
"General Huo, why pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, when a girl loves a man deeply, in her eyes, the man will do everything well, her eyes will be blinded and she will not see the truth, when she sees the truth clearly, then she will naturally find all her reason and become smart."
"The county lord means. You don't like the emperor anymore, but the marriage contract between you and the emperor, the entire Daqing Dynasty knows, if you don't marry the emperor, who else can the county lord marry in the future? ”
Shen Xianhe lowered his head and laughed.
"General Huo, the marriage contract cannot be changed, but can't the person sitting on the throne change it?"
After Shen Xianhe said this, Huo Biao's expression showed a shocked look, he looked at the woman in front of him seriously, and Huo Biao smiled.
"County Lord, I underestimated you, General Ben is waiting for the day when your words come true."
After that, Huo Biao left first, and he also disguised his identity and left wearing a mask.
The two of them didn't plan to leave at the same time, and they both had to hide from whether there was anyone who was following them.
About an hour later, Shen Xianhe left in his own carriage.
Before returning to the city, Shen Xianhe found that a person had flown into his carriage.
"Bold!"
The guards outside roared, and even heard the sound of knives coming out of their sheaths.
Shen Xianhe looked at the man who came in wearing a mask, and she commanded the people outside.
"Don't worry, it's someone I know."
After saying this, Shen Xianhe asked the person who flew into his carriage.
