Early Spring in Gangnam (XI) (Part I)

"Of course I know that, and I don't expect you to take these people in. You just need to be optimistic about the Luo family's father and son. But now, do you dare to say that Luo Yi is under your control? This kid is ambitious, if he is completely controlled by you, it will not be Luo Yi, and I don't expect you to control him, but you should at least know what he is doing, right? ”

"His subordinates have been sending people to monitor him, and in addition to looking for flowers and asking willows every day, he is taking care of the affairs of the gang, and I know all the help he is doing."

The scribe sneered, "You know everything? Then he sent someone to follow our secret channel to Zhuyu Island and go to the center of the island to investigate, you know? He sent people to dig silver mines in the Qingqiu area, and under my banner let the people in the Qingqiu area obey his command, you know? He has recently gotten close to the person sent by my nephew Yi Heng, you know? ”

Wang Xiaohua raised her head in surprise and looked at the scribe. She really didn't know, she thought that Luo Yi was busy opening up all kinds of joints to Lingnan and Huizhou every day, and thought that what he was worried about these days was how to do these things better and make the Dahe Gang bigger. Dogwood Island, that is the focus of the master's repeated explanations, is also one of the reasons for choosing the Great River Gang. The Great River Gang has boats, and they go to the island by secret waterway. Supplies are sent to the island twice a month, as well as some strange affairs and ingots and leather. But the River Gang was only responsible for shipping, and the River Gang was never allowed to go inside the island. As for what she was doing on the island, the master didn't even tell her. As for the silver mine, it was to kill the head, and it was actually suppressed by the local government in the name of the master.

"Do you know who the Sun family provoked this time? It's just that the Qin family is so simple? Why didn't you think of a way to let your daughter enter the governor's mansion? Stepping on the point in time so accurately is something that ordinary merchants like the Qin family can lay out? If they have that ability, how can they post their daughter to the second young man of the Sun family, who has no ability to rely on his father to eat? ”

"This should be an accident, after all, no one expected that Sun Ershao would get involved with the eldest lady of Yumen in such a public place."

Miss Yumen, the scribe's contemptuous eyes flashed, How could that woman be worthy of this title. However, it was a divine existence in his heart, and such a lowly person in front of him was not worthy to discuss this topic with him, so he just said coldly, There are not so many surprises in this world, and then he stopped talking, and walked to the table indifferently and poured himself a cup of tea, and sat down to taste it slowly.

Wang Xiaohua knelt on the ground in fear and turned to his direction, knelt in front of him, and bowed her head again: "The subordinates just thought it was an accident and a trivial matter, so they agreed to Yaniang." I didn't think carefully about the joint in the back, it was a dereliction of duty on my subordinates, and Luo Yi also told me yesterday that he had already dealt with this matter and would not implicate Sun Dufu. The subordinates knew that the master had spent a lot of effort in Jiangnan to establish all this, although Luo Yi had already dealt with it, but the subordinates had made a mistake after all, and they did not monitor Luo Yi well, so please punish the master. ”

"The ant devouring has been completed, no matter how much you remedy it, there will be traces, what is the use of punishing you?" The scribe said indifferently: "I will give you another chance, if there is a next time, you will not use me to excuse your sin, and go directly to the Red Pavilion to sell meat." ”

"My subordinates must be more careful in the future." Wang Xiaohua had nothing to say, and at the same time felt a chill in her heart, the Red Pavilion was one of the lowest existences in the hands of the master, and it was located near the barracks all year round, and in addition to earning money, she was also responsible for inquiring about various dynamics in the barracks. If the brothels in Hangzhou may encounter dirty and smelly men, then the vast majority of the people in and out of the red hall are sweaty and smelly soldiers, not only stinky, but also all of them are evil wolves, and most of the girls in the red hall are tired to death. Although she was born in a Qinglou, it is a famous place in Liangjiang that sells her art but does not sell her body, and the men she receives are all the men she is willing to associate with. Her first time was handed over to her master. For so many years, she has been proud of it. The master is a real man, but not a man with a casual heart, from Tianxiang Pavilion to Sticky Flower Courtyard, the master is the biggest boss in Liangjiang in this line, but he has always been clean. Many of Liangjiang's subordinates said that she was the most trusted person by the master in Liangjiang, and in addition to her loyalty, this intimacy was not unrelated. Whether it is among the subordinates or the followers of the Dahe Gang, Wang Xiaohua has a transcendent status.

For so many years, it is the first time for the master to say such heavy words, in her reflection, although many major things are extremely ruthless, but in ordinary days, the master has always been a gentleman as gentle as jade. It's really annoying to be like this today. She had to be careful.

"Do you want to know why I know this, but you don't?"

Wang Xiaohua nodded respectfully.

"I trusted you a lot, and I didn't have any people in the River. But digging silver mines, such a big thing, is still under my banner, naturally someone came to check with me. After that, there was the incident of Dogwood Island. I can't do it without sending someone to handle it myself. ”

"My subordinates were ignorant, I didn't think things would be so serious. His subordinates knew that Luo Yi was a very thoughtful person, but they didn't expect him to be so bold. ”

"It's normal to be curious about the sheer volume of our shipments every month, and if it were, I'd be looking for it. He is not a city defender, looking for a new field, and it is normal to be ambitious. That's what I taught you in the first place, that ambitious people have a chance to be taken advantage of. If he asks for nothing, he won't use us. Although you have some scheming, you are still limited by your vision, and you don't have the ability to see the whole picture. Although you are shrewd and good at observing words and feelings, you still don't know enough about the means and thinking of men to do great things. If something like this happens, you can't blame it all, your ditches and bumps in the gentle township, the way women deal with men and the standards of behavior are far from those who make big plans. It's really limited to what you can do if you're in control. ”

Wang Xiaohua was nervous when she heard this, could it be that the master wanted to treat her as an outcast?

"But you have your advantages," the scribe seemed to be able to read all her thoughts, "and if it's useless, I don't have to talk nonsense with you here." ”

Wang Xiaohua thought about it, it was useless, and it was estimated that she would not see her, so she was sent directly to the Red Pavilion.

"The affairs of the Great River Gang, you continue to do the same as you have in the past two years, meddle in what you can, do whatever you need to do. Let Luo Yi be convinced that you are still the most important spokesperson and overseer I have installed in the Great River Gang. Leave the rest alone. "Let her be a target on the bright side, and secretly send people to act, it is not easy to attract the attention of Luo's father and son, and it is indeed a good layout.

"There's something else you're going to do for me. The Jiangnan battalion is about to change its defense, and a new general is about to arrive, I want you to hold him well. I want to know the movements of the two waterways in the south of the Yangtze River at any time. Of course, you have to let Luo Yi help you hold him together. He was a businessman, and although he was domineering on the river, he still had a weak spot on the sea. No matter how strong he is on the river, without an official ticket, he will not be able to ship in time many times. So he will support you. ”

Wang Xiaohua nodded solemnly.

"It's your old job, don't miss it again."

Although Wang Xiaohua felt a little embarrassed in her heart, what the master said was the truth, she was originally selling meat. To entrap the generals, she can only use her housekeeping skills. She bit her lower lip, pursed her upper lip again, and smiled awkwardly: "My subordinates must do their best." ”

After saying that, she didn't hear an answer for a long time, and she was a little nervous and at a loss. I don't know what was wrong with this answer. It took a long time to hear a faint voice: "Get up, the one who is about to take over the Jiangnan camp is Huang Shenghua, the commander of the Jiangnan camp more than ten years ago, if you have the opportunity, you can repeat the action you just made in front of him, maybe it will be easy to get started." ”

Wang Xiaohua was stunned for a while, she stood up in a daze, what action? It turned out that her lip-biting action was subconscious, and she didn't notice it.

The scribe understood, reached out and lifted her face, with a confused look in his eyes: "It's the action of you biting your lip." At the same time, she gently turned her face to the left angle: "That's it, bite my lip and I'll take a look." ”

Wang Xiaohua did as she said, the scribe nodded slightly, the hand holding her chin tightened slightly, Wang Xiaohua frowned slightly because of the pain, and couldn't help but let out a hiss. But I heard an indifferent voice: "Don't frown, don't pick the corners of your mouth." Wang Xiaohua was shocked into a cold sweat, and hurriedly did not dare to move again according to the requirements. Immediately, he felt that his hairpin had been removed, and his black hair hung down, and part of it was combed to cover his ears and forehead.

"It's more like that." I only heard him say softly: "Remember to wear a goose-yellow skirt as much as possible when you see Huang Shenghua, and use gardenias to smoke your dress inside and out." ”

Wang Xiaohua boldly asked, "Could it be that General Huang liked such a woman back then?" ”

The scribe nodded lightly, and said gently, "Yes, a noble woman who is as pure as a gardenia, as fragrant as a gardenia, and has a singing voice like a yellow warbler, and can caress the music of immortals. ”

Wang Xiaohua didn't dare to ask if she was also the woman her master liked. Hearing such an evaluation, she didn't have to ask to know that the answer was yes. But she heard her master say, "Only a noble and pure woman like her is worthy to be her sister." ”

This time Wang Xiaohua was a little dizzy, could it be that the master liked a pair of sisters back then? Looking at the man's blurred eyes, she was a little unsure of how to answer. Although she doesn't know how to say it, she knows how to deal with a man in this state. She quietly straightened up, her waist straightened, and the distance between her and him was instantly filled.

But she didn't see the look she expected, but the indifference after the stiffness, and the eyes of the gentle and elegant man in the past shone with disgust: "You put away this set in front of me, a woman as noble as her would not use such frivolous means." ”
