…

Lizi City, Jiang Hongfei's house, in Master Li's room.

Jiang Hongfei hugged his daughter and teased happily.

Master Li, who had become very lazy on the bed because he was loved by Jiang Hongfei last night, saw this scene, smiled and smiled, and couldn't help but shed tears.

When Master Li was in Fanlou, he heard those prostitutes talk about it, and few good Qinglou women had a particularly happy life.

Some, when the people who ransomed them had enough, they would become maids, or even the mother-in-law of the family, and they had to do all the dirty work.

Some will be given to friends as gifts, or used to exchange things, didn't Su Dongpo exchange his concubine for a horse? And if you change it one by one, when you are old, you may be abandoned, return to your old business, and become a real prostitute who can chisel once with a casual melon or two dates.

Others, inexplicably, died, and they didn't know how many customers they had received and saved up their belongings for a lifetime, and they were taken away in vain by the people who ransomed her.

What's more, although many people have redeemed themselves for the women of Qinglou, they do not allow them to have children for themselves because of their former status.

In short, for a woman born in a Qinglou, being good may not be a good way out.

In fact, once you enter the Qinglou, it is as deep as the sea, and most of the women who were born in the Qinglou will not end well, no matter how high you have climbed, the result is no different.

Master Li is very clear about this, or it can be said that all the women in the Qinglou are very clear about this.

At the beginning, the reason why Master Li eloped with Jiang Hongfei was completely impulsive.

To be honest, Master Li himself couldn't tell whether Jiang Hongfei gave her the hope of love at that time, or whether she was simply infatuated with the pleasure that Jiang Hongfei brought to her in bed, and she couldn't extricate herself for a while.

Sometimes, Master Li himself couldn't help but think: "I was only afraid that it wasn't a magic barrier at that time, a good and decent Oiran was not appropriate, and a good and decent emperor's woman would not be a good woman, and I would come here with him to be a bandit." ”

But there is no turning back arrow when the bow is opened, Master Li has already greened Zhao Ji, and he also helped Jiang Hongfei steal Zhao Ji's royal cultivation exercises and storage bracelets, how can he go back to the past?

The good thing is that -

What makes Master Li happy is that since she eloped with Jiang Hongfei, Jiang Hongfei has been very good to her.

It is no exaggeration to say that Jiang Hongfei has all the things that other concubines have, and Master Li has all of them, and he will even get more.

There is one data that can fully prove that Master Li is favored by Jiang Hongfei.

This data is that among Jiang Hongfei's concubines, none of them have served more times than Master Li.

What's more, Jiang Hongfei never controlled Master Li's pregnancy, so that Master Li and Jiang Hongfei's other two concubines were pregnant almost at the same time.

This is something that Zhao Ji will never give to Master Li.

Throughout her pregnancy, Master Li was thinking that if she could give birth to a son for Jiang Hongfei, even if she would be old and yellow in the future, she would not have to worry.

- In case Jiang Hongfei doesn't want her one day, she can still live with her son.

Who would have thought, among the three people, Master Li was born as a daughter, and Song Zhener and Gao Youniang were sons.

Master Li cried on the spot, crying so sad that she even felt that the rest of her life was over.

Fortunately, Jiang Hongfei comforted Master Li in time: "You and I am still young, why can't I give birth to ten or eight children in this life, it is not easy to have a son, besides, I like my daughter more, if my daughter can be as beautiful as you, it will be better......"

Comforted by Jiang Hongfei's humor, Master Li quickly burst into tears and laughed, and did not suffer from any mental illness because he did not give birth to a son.

Later, it turned out that Jiang Hongfei was not comforting Master Li.

Since Song Zhen'er and Gao Youniang both gave birth to sons, Jiang Hongfei came to Master Li's room more often.

Once Pan Jinlian asked with some taste: "Why do officials favor Wang Niangzi?" ”

Jiang Hongfei said with a smile: "Because she is good at kung fu." ”

Since then, Pan Jinlian has practiced hanging upside down grape trellises.

Others don't know, can Master Li himself not know that she is good at pleasing men, but her kung fu has long been squeezed out by Jiang Hongfei, how can there be any novelty.

Therefore, Master Li knows very well that Jiang Hongfei does not often come to her because of her good kung fu, but because Jiang Hongfei has never forgotten his promise to her, that is, he will be good to her for the rest of his life.

Now, Master Li not only does not regret eloping with Jiang Hongfei at the beginning, but she is also very glad that she had her intuition and courage at that time!

At this time, seeing that Jiang Hongfei was better to her daughter than Song Zhen'er and Gao Youniang's son, Master Li was really moved to tears of happiness.

Jiang Hongfei teased his daughter and said to his daughter: "I don't know what my mother is crying about, is it that my father didn't serve my mother?" Or do you want your dad to sell hard again? ”

When Master Li heard this, he wiped away his tears and said angrily: "The officials tell the children everything!" ”

Jiang Hongfei said to his daughter: "What are you afraid of, we are still young, and we don't understand anything." ”

At this time, Hua Baoyan knocked on the door outside: "Big brother, are you okay?" ”

Jiang Hongfei responded: "Get up, come here." ”

Jiang Hongfei came to Master Li's side, carefully handed over his daughter to Master Li, and then kissed Master Li on the face: "I'll go to the young lady tonight and come back tomorrow night." ”

When Master Li heard this, she was a little embarrassed, and she whispered, "Are you too diligent to come to the slave family?" How many of her ideas won't she? ”

Jiang Hongfei said: "When you get pregnant again, I will go to them more." ”

Master Li was a little worried: "After so many times, the slave family has not conceived again, could it be that there is something wrong with the slave family's body?" ”

Song Zhen'er, who was not as many as Master Li by Jiang Hongfei, was pregnant again not long ago, but Master Li, who received more rain and dew from Jiang Hongfei, was not pregnant again, can Master Li not worry that something is wrong with her own body?

Jiang Hongfei said: "Xu is that you are too nervous, just like Jin Lian, you always want to get pregnant, every time you are done, you are upside down, and you pray to God, but you are always not hit, maybe you can relax and get pregnant." ”

Master Li felt that there was such a possibility, otherwise Pan Jinlian would not be able to conceive once, you must know that Jiang Hongfei did not work Pan Jinlian, and when the three of them were pregnant at the same time, Jiang Hongfei really did not miss Pan Jinlian.

"I heard that Pan Jinlian is ready to tie the doll, and if she wants to have a child, she is going crazy, huh...... Maybe it's because of the nervousness. ”

Jiang Hongfei comforted Master Li again: "Don't worry, I'm in the prime of life, I will definitely be able to wear Yang in a hundred steps, not to mention that you have already given birth to a child, your body will definitely be fine, even if there is anything, I will definitely be able to shoot." ”

Master Li was not shy, but nodded firmly: "Well, the slave family will definitely be able to give birth to a son to the official!" ”

After kissing his daughter's little cheek again, Jiang Hongfei left Master Li's room, and then saw Gao Liang, Chen Liqing and Hua Baoyan all outside the door.

Jiang Hongfei asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Gao Liang said: "Those who buy salt are almost here, and Zhang Chao invited the officials to go to the water village." ”

……

Li Jun, the dragon of the mixed river, is a native of Luzhou, and he was originally a duke who supported the boat in the Yangtze River.

In the past two years, Li Jun relied on his own brains and courage to sell illicit salt together with Jiao Tongwei and Tong Meng, who turned the river and made some money.

This illegal salt trade is indeed a huge profit.

However, although Li Jun and the urging judge Li Li are the same as the Jieyang Ridge, and the Mu Hong brothers of Jieyang Town and the Zhang Heng brothers of Xunyang Jiang are collectively known as the three tyrants of Jieyang, but Li Jun's identity is also a little useful in Jieyang's one-third of an acre, after Jieyang, who knows him Li Jun?

The key is that Li Jun has no strong relationship between black and white behind him, where can he get cheap and good quality salt?

So Li Jun has always been just a little fight.

However, Li Jun is in the business of selling illicit salt.

There was an unprecedented kind of good salt in the world, and Li Jun knew about it at the first time, and he also got a little bit of this good salt through his relationship.

Just looking at the whiteness, delicacy and crystalline degree of this good salt called "refined salt", Li Jun knew that it would definitely not be sold.

The question is, where does this refined salt come from? How many are there, exactly?

Soon, Li Jun received the news again that the refined salt came out of Shuibo Liangshan, and Shuibo Liangshan was recruiting distributors, and the profit margin was very large.

Li Jun is a very decisive person, he handed over all the things in his hands to Tong Wei and Tong Meng almost immediately, and came to Shuibo Liangshan alone.

Before coming, Li Jun was still worried about how to connect with the people of Shuibo Liangshan.

But it turns out that Li Jun is completely overconcerned.

Before others arrived at Shuibo Liangshan, someone approached him to explore the bottom.

After some temptation between the two sides, out of caution, Li Jun only reported that he was from Jiangzhou, and wanted to come to Shuibo Liangshan to see if there was any business to do.

I didn't want to, but in just over half an hour, there was a big man with a double bun on his head and a big man dressed as the leader of the Shuibo Liangshan Shui Army.

"This man's eyes are familiar." Li Jun thought to himself.

Li Jun couldn't see clearly from a distance, so he simply greeted him, and when he walked to a distance of about ten steps from each other, the big man recognized Li Jun first and exclaimed: "Brother Li!" Then bow down.

Li Jun hurriedly helped him up, looked at his face again, and blurted out, "Aren't you Zhu Xiaoba?" Why did we meet here? ”

Zhu Xiaoba said with a smile: "Last year, we had a famine in Jiangzhou, I saw that it was really difficult for my family to live, and I heard the prestige of the owner of my family, so I carried my mother all the way to beg here, and ate free porridge and fish here for a few days, and applied medicine in the village to treat my mother's illness. ”

With Zhu Xiaoba's confirmation, Li Jun was arranged to rest in a large family.

Then, the Liangshan heroes told Li Jun that seven days later, Jiang Hongfei would personally talk to them about the distribution of refined salt.

Zhu Xiaoba said to Li Jun that everyone who comes to buy refined salt will have local people to confirm, and those who no one knows can also buy refined salt, but the price is definitely more expensive, and they can't get in touch with the core trade, they can only go to Jishui or Wuzhang River to trade, and they can't get the distribution right of a place, let alone regional protection.

"Area protection?"

Li Junpin was a little puzzled by this new term.

Zhu Xiaoba explained to Li Jun half-understandingly: "It seems to be a policy for me to protect the distributors below in Liangshan......"

After listening to this, Li Jun summed up with excitement on his face: "Doesn't that mean that if I get the distribution right in Jiangzhou, others will not be able to go to Jiangzhou to sell refined salt, and I can sell it as much as I want?" ”

Zhu Xiaoba scratched his head: "It seems that there is a minimum sales volume and an upper limit of unit price, and the eldest brother still asks Hu Cao's people, and I don't know very well." ”

In the next seven days, the heroes of Liangshan warmly entertained Li Jun, and Li Jun couldn't help but watch around, and Zhu Xiaoba accompanied him throughout the whole process.

Li Jun first walked around Songjiazhuang, where he lived, and found that this place was simply a paradise on earth, people did not worry about food and clothing, and each face was filled with happy and satisfied smiles.

Li Jun thought that Songjiazhuang was just an example.

But Zhu Xiaoba told Li Jun that the area controlled by Shuibo Liangshan was like this.

This couldn't help but make Li Jun have a strong curiosity about Shuibo Liangshan.

Driven by curiosity, Li Jun asked Zhu Xiaoba to take him around.

In order to let the former eldest brother see how well he is mixing now, Zhu Xiaoba went to borrow a big boat and ten auxiliary soldiers from his current boss Ruan Xiaowu.

Accompanied by Zhu Xiaoba, Li Jun spent seven days turning around the village of Shuibo Liangshan, one on the left and one on the right.

Along the way, after listening to Zhu Xiaoba's many "great achievements" about Shuibo Liangshan and Jiang Hongfei, Li Jun suddenly felt that his pattern was too small.

"What is it to sell some illicit salt and make some small profits? If I can follow the great sage and make a career, then it will be in vain for my life Li Jun! ”

Seven days passed quickly.

When it came time to discuss the distribution of refined salt, Li Jun and dozens of other heroes took a luxury boat in Liangshan to Liangshan Water Village.

What Li Jun never expected was that there was a dragon and a crouching tiger among these dozens of people.

There is not much to say about small people like Du Xing of Li Jiazhuang and Hu Cheng of Hu Jiazhuang, compared with those heroes of the rivers and lakes on the powerful side, they are really nothing like Li Jun.

Introduce them one by one, and forget it.

Let's just say that there are a few real big shots this time.

Among them, the first thing that has to be mentioned is Fang Yuan, the uncle of Fang La, the leader of the Manichaeism in Jiangnan, and Fang La's two important subordinates, Wang Yin and Gao Yu.

Nowadays, the power of Manichaeism covers the entire southeast, and its power is so great that it almost overwhelms the rivers and lakes, and in terms of influence alone, it is even above Shuibo Liangshan.

That is, Fang La did not come in person, otherwise none of the people present could overshadow Fang La.

Second only to, or can also be said to be able to compete with the three of Manichaean Fang Yuan, is Tian Leopard and Fang Xuandu of Longhu Mountain in Hedong.

In the past two years, Tian Hu has recruited troops and horses in Longhu Mountain, and his momentum is growing stronger, and now he has fifty or seventy leaders, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and his power covers the entire Hedong, and his momentum is great, and he is not under Shuibo Liangshan and Manichaeism.

Moreover, it is rumored in the rivers and lakes that Tian Hu is the son of the dragon, and those who destroy the Zhao and Song dynasties will come out of the place where the dragon and the tiger meet.

People of insight can see that Tian Hu may be building momentum for the rebellion, but I am afraid that in the next year or two, Tian Hu will rise up.

At this stage, the entire rivers and lakes are dominated by Shuibo Liangshan, Manichaeism and Longhu Mountain.

Some people may want to ask, is there no other person or force that can challenge Shuibo Liangshan, Manichaeism and Longhu Mountain?

There really is a rising star.

This rising star is Fangshan in Fangzhou, that is, the place where Wang Qing fell into the grass.

In other words, after making a big fuss with Jiang Hongfei in Bianliang City, Tokyo, Wang Qing, who hadn't thought about falling into the grass, was really frightened and hid seriously for a while.

Later, Wang Qing inquired from many sources and found out that no one knew that he and Jiang Hongfei were the people who made trouble in Bianliang City, Tokyo, and Kaifeng Mansion only wanted Lu Zhishen and Chen Liqing and Chen Liqing's maid Hongling, and had nothing to do with him.

Wang Qing then continued to wave in Bianliang City.

One day, Wang Qing met Tong Guan's brother Tong Zhen's daughter, Yang Jian's grandson, Tong Guan raised him as his own daughter, and promised to marry Cai You's son, that is, Cai Jing's granddaughter-in-law Jiaoxiu.

The two hooked up and flirted day and night.

Soon after the incident, Wang Qing was assassinated and sent to Shaanzhou.

In Shaanzhou, Wang Qing encountered a series of adventures and became acquainted with Mr. Jin Jian, Li Zhu.

Later, Wang Qing murdered and fled to Duanjiabao for refuge, and met Duan Sanniang, an ugly girl and a big insect nest.

Under the auspices of Li Zhu, Wang Qing, who wanted to survive, pinched his nose and married Duan Sanniang.

It didn't take long for Wang Qing to kill people, and at the suggestion of Li Zhu, Wang Qing fled to Fangshan with Duanjiabao's people.

Because of the failure to join in, Wang Qing and Duan Sanniang joined forces to merge Liao Li, the original owner of Fangshan.

After occupying Fangshan, Wang Qing led the people of Fangshan to loot the money and grain in the Fangzhou warehouse, and sent Li Zhu, Duan 2, and Duan 5 to separate in Fangshanzhai and other places, erecting the banner of recruiting troops, buying horses and recruiting troops, accumulating grass and grain, and looting villages and towns near and far.

Those who are scoundrels and those who are wicked and sinful are joined in coming.

Neighboring states and counties, no one dares to provoke Fangshan.

In just over two months, more than 20,000 people gathered in Fangshan, and the neighboring cities of Shangjin County, Zhushan County, and Yunxiang County were also broken.

Now the momentum of Fangshan is chasing Shuibo Liangshan, Manichaeism, and Longhu Mountain.

Moreover, Wang Qing has always declared that he is Jiang Yan's brother-in-law in a high-profile manner, which has also added a lot of fame to Wang Qing.

Unlike Fang La and Tian Hu who did not come in person, Wang Qing not only came over in person, but also brought his military advisor Li Zhu over.

In addition to the heroes of Manichaeism, Longhu Mountain, and Fangshan, there are dozens of other heroes and heroes from all walks of life.

It can be said that Shuibo Liangshan used refined salt to create a real Jianghu conference......
