Li Zhaoji slowly walked into the forest, and heard a fierce sound of pipa on the path.

This sound is like a decisive battle between the two armies, the sound moves the heavens and the earth, and there are the sound of gold, drums, and swords.

Those who have grievances and are difficult to understand are miserable.

There are desolate and tragic people, but they are the sorrows of the overlords.

Li Zhaoji doesn't understand the rhythm of the sound, but after all, he has watched a lot of movies, and after a little thought, he remembered that this is "Ambush on All Sides".

Walking into the forest, I saw a woman sitting on the Hu bed, holding the pipa and playing, the girl looked beautiful, hidden style, the two looked at each other, she was quite bold, but Li Zhaoji bowed slightly, sideways.

"Mr. Li, do you know what kind of song Bai Mo plays?" When Bai Mo saw Li Zhaoji's dignified man, he seemed to be shy, and he felt quite interesting.

Even though Li Zhaoji knew that it was "Ambush on All Sides", he still shook his head slightly: "I don't know." ”

said that he didn't know, because he was afraid that he would not know his name and his meaning, let alone know the allusions, and he would show his cowardice in front of this girl.

"Sir, I don't know, why did you come here when you heard the song?" Bai Mo put down the pipa and asked.

Li Zhaoji smiled and said, "But there is a matter of begging the girl." ”

Bai Mo's face changed slightly, she thought that Li Zhaoji was here for herself, but she never thought that something was serious.

"Mr. is a hero in the world, and he works in the governor's curtain, I heard that Lord Shen treats Mr. like a nephew, what else does Mr. need to ask for a little girl?" Bai Mo asked with a smile in a pleasant voice.

Li Zhaoji chose to tell him bluntly: "During the banquet, Zheng Siye from Fujian gave a gift in the next one, saying that it was two thin horses, and he was pushing it down, so he could only accept it for fear of wiping Zheng Siye's face." ”

Bai Mo didn't wait for Li Zhaoji to finish speaking, and then he sounded a laugh like a silver bell: "Giggles, Mr. Li has a fierce wife and concubine at home, how can he be a big husband in front of him, but he doesn't dare to take a woman home?" ”

Li Zhaoji waved his hand: "The white girl said that she was laughing, and she is not married yet." ”

"That's the strict house rules?"

Li Zhaoji shook his head again: "My parents are not here, and I take the trading company as my home." ”

Bai Mo became more and more puzzled, and Li Zhaoji said: "I am a rough person who can't understand "Ambush on All Sides", so naturally I don't need a Jiangnan girl who understands piano, chess, calligraphy and painting as a companion, and give it to me, it is a tyrannical thing."

I have the heart to let him go free, but I also know that the way home is long, and there are many thieves and bandits. And I also heard that Slender Ma Duo is a woman from a poor family, and if she goes back, she is afraid that she will have no food and clothing. I wonder if the white girl can be kept in this red mansion?

How about just being a companion between women? ”

Bai Mo frowned: "Mr. Li doesn't seem to have seen those two girls, why did he give them away in such a hurry?" ”

Li Zhaoji smiled and didn't want to say more.

If you want to talk about beautiful women, whether it is Gu Jinniang who is entrusted to Zheng Fusong, or the young and beautiful Bai Mo in front of him, Li Zhaoji is a little tempted, but the problem is that he is now in the stage of struggling to survive, his relationship with the court is undecided, and he has no foundation and a house, and he can't settle down with a woman.

What's more, if you have a woman, you can't stop your brothers from building a family, and if you don't have a place to settle, it's a disaster after all.

Seeing Bai Mo's constant questioning, Li Zhaoji was helpless, and said half-jokingly: "Those two girls, I haven't seen their appearance in the next place, and they don't even know their names, but I think to myself, no matter how good they are, I'm afraid they are not as good as the white girls, even if they see them, what can they do?" ”

Bai Mo didn't know whether Li Zhaoji was laughing or refusing for a while, and blushed his cheeks.

"What does the girl think?" Li Zhaoji asked.

Bai Mo nodded: "I have long heard of Mr. Li's chivalrous name, and he has the ambition to serve the country, and the little woman has long been fascinated and has the intention of making friends. ”

Li Zhaoji bowed slightly, untied a dagger from his waist, and put it on the table next to him: "This is a token, tomorrow I will send someone some silver, if the two girls are willing to marry, it will be used as a dowry, and then please ask the white girl to help more." ”

"Oh, that's good, that's good." Bai Mo originally thought that Li Zhaoji had something unspeakable to hide, so he had to throw off two oil bottles, but now it seems that he is sincerely arranged, and he even thinks of good things in the future.

Li Zhaoji clenched his fists: "Farewell, farewell." ”

Bai Mo was slightly stunned, and said in his heart that Li Zhaoji was really a straight person, and he came to ask someone to do things just to do things, and he didn't do anything superfluous, Bai Mo hurriedly stopped: "Mr. don't stay to drink a cup of tea and sober up?" ”

Li Zhaoji smiled and quipped: "Forget it, the girl is the country and the world, she is drunk and confused, and she is afraid that it will be difficult to control herself, so I will say goodbye, farewell." ”

"Mr. Bai Mo sends." Bai Mo got up and came to see Li Zhaoji off, and left in parallel, Bai Mo suddenly said: "Just now on the boat, Mr. has already heard the conversation between Mr. and the uncle and nephew of the Zheng family and the Francois machine. Mr. is just as heroic and righteous as rumored, and he is a true gentleman.

It's the Zheng family....... Alas, it is really disappointing, and it is in vain. ”

Li Zhaoji shook his head slightly, noncommittal.

Seeing him like this, Bai Mo was even more curious: "Did Bai Mo say something wrong?" ”

Li Zhaoji said: "The white girl is in love, and Li is not a true gentleman, and he disdains to be a true gentleman." ”

Bai Mo was surprised: "Why doesn't Mr. be a gentleman?" ”

Li Zhaoji asked rhetorically: "White girl, what is a gentleman, what is a gentleman?" ”

Bai Mo was speechless for a while, the gentleman is the norm of behavior of Chinese scholars, and it is a symbol of noble ambition, virtue and elegance, if you talk about it, you can't distinguish it for three days and three nights.

Li Zhaoji asked again: "Is Mr. Chen Zizhuang a gentleman?" ”

Bai Mo's eyes lit up instantly, and he said quietly: "In the past, there was a woman, named Zhang Qiao, also known as a beauty, although she was sheltered in Qinglou, she was talented. He once gave a poem to Mr. Chen, praising him as 'a beautiful husband with a pronoun'. After Zhang Qiaoxiang died, Mr. Chen built a mound of flowers for him.

Mr. Chen is naturally a gentleman! ”

Li Zhaoji smiled, knowing that Bai Mo and the late Zhang Qiao were suffering from the same illness, he said: "In my opinion, it is not, Nanyuan donated money that day, and the girl must not know the inside story." ”

Li Zhaoji immediately told Chen Zizhuang and the Guangdong gentry about the flies and selfishness of the Guangdong gentry when they donated money in the South Park that day. Bai Mo's face changed greatly, he took two steps back, and shook his head firmly: "Mr. must have misunderstood, Mr. Chen's leader is not that kind of person."

He has been cultivating and studying heirlooms, and has been helping students and friends for many years, how can he have so much money to donate to the country? ”

"If the girl doesn't believe it, it's okay." Li Zhaoji said: "This is the second mistake I want to say, I disdain to be a hypocrite like Chen Zizhuang, and would rather be a real villain." And the second mistake is that this Ming Dynasty is only a victim of thieves like the Zheng family who is shameless, and the scholar doctor is even more shameless.

Zheng Zhilong started from the reckless, he didn't know how to repay the results, and it was understandable, the scholar doctor had read the Four Books and the Five Classics since he was a child, and he should be damned. ”

"You're so open-mouthed!" Bai Mojiao scolded.

Li Zhaoji clasped his fists and said: "White girl, I am a real villain, so naturally I have something to say." ”

"Then you're not afraid that I won't help you."

Li Zhaoji laughed: "The girl thinks of herself as a gentleman, how can she do things that break her word and get fat." Since you empathize with that beauty, you should have sympathy with those two Jiangnan girls. ”

With that, Li Zhaoji turned his head and left.

The maid who had been following behind came over and said to Bai Mo: "Girl, this Li Zhaoji is really hateful, don't say a good word, don't have to deal with him in the future." ”

Bai Mo shook his head slightly: "The gentleman doesn't care about his deeds, he has no mouth to hide, but what he does is for the court." I don't know if Nanyuan's donation is as shameless as he said, but I also know that the twelve sons of Nanyuan, on behalf of the Guangdong gentry, have donated less than 40,000 taels to the imperial court, and Li Zhaoji has already raised 100,000 silver for the imperial court. ”

Shen Mansion.

"Dong Weng ......." In the distance, Zhao Wenji was Shen Youlong, the governor who was shouting to have tea with Lin Cha and Li Zhaoji in the hall.

"Oh, Mr. Zhao, why are you sweating all over your head?" Shen Youlong pulled Zhao Wenji to sit down, and hurriedly ordered Songbao to serve him tea.

Zhao Wenji picked up Shen Youlong's tea, took two big sips, and said: "The silver has arrived, the silver has arrived, and it is in the Zheng family's guild hall, and the students have checked it clearly, 100,000 taels, only a lot more!" ”

"What!" Almost all three of them stood up, and Li Zhaoji was surprised: "It's only been three days, it's impossible for the Zheng family to bring so many ships." ”

Shen Youlong also nodded, Zhao Wenji relieved his beating heart a little, and said, "That's what I personally checked, absolutely 100,000 taels." As for where the money came from, please guess it. ”

Shen Youlong thought about it and shook his head slightly, Zhao Wenji looked at Lin Cha and Li Zhaoji again, Li Zhaoji also shook his head and said that he didn't know, but Lin Cha thought for a while, and asked in a low voice: "Can it be related to Nanyuan?" ”

"Go!" Zhao Wenji broke off and said, "Mr. Lin really understands the local people's feelings. ”

Li Zhaoji immediately figured it out, the Portuguese had no money, so they borrowed it from the Zheng family, and the Zheng family now wanted to end the matter quickly, but Shen Youlong didn't see the rabbit and didn't scatter the eagle, how could he get the money quickly? It is raised locally, who has money in Guangdong, and it is not those Guangdong gentry who cry poor when donating money!

And the Guangdong gentry are also willing to help, after all, this is 100,000 taels of silver, and Shen Youlong has so much money, so he can't extort the place anymore.

"Good, good!" Shen Youlong also figured this out, and said viciously.

Li Zhaoji stepped forward: "Don't be angry with those villains, and listen to Mr. Zhao." ”

Zhao Wenji also eased up at this time and said: "Francois proposed to solve the English first, and then give money, the Zheng family is also helping, and the students don't dare to be tough." But they didn't let go, those Yangyi philistines, if they let go, I was afraid that they would put forward other terms, so they came to ask Dong Weng how to negotiate next. ”

"What do you two think?" Shen Youlong has not been personally involved in this matter, and he has made the dry cleaning clear, so he does not speak.

Lin Cha shook his head slightly, and only said that he didn't say anything else, while Li Zhaoji said, "Boss, let the Francois send troops to assist." ”

"Sending troops?"
