Chapter 57: Dark War (1)
The current political status is equivalent to the entire Great Nanjing City, with two inner and outer walls, eighteen gates of the outer city and thirteen gates of the inner city, and the largest length in the world.
In a narrow sense, Nanjing City refers to the scope of the Licheng City, which is called the capital City. For people in the city, they are outside the suburbs after leaving the Thirteen Gate of Licheng City.
Mochou Lake is located outside Sanshan Gate, which is the most important gate to the west of Nanjing City and the most commercial value of Nanjing City.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the entire Nanjing city, most of the people and goods from other places may have to enter and exit from Sanshanmen.
Once you understand this, you can understand why the Sanshan Gatekeeper was able to be treated in one-stop by several merchants in a gold-selling cave like Nanshilou Street a few days ago.
Although he is a hot military officer who does not care about taxes, he cannot help make money, and he has no right to convict, he can block your goods and cannot enter the city for several days!
It can be understood why a third-rank official commander of the commander of the city gatekeeper was not wronged at all.
Under the command of the commander, there were several fifth-rank thousand households leading troops to guard the city gates. There was no other way, there was nothing else in the southern capital of the Ming Dynasty. The martial family had many officials like dogs, which was comparable to a major specialty of salted ducks.
The Xu family was on a trip today, and a few veteran soldiers were sent to Sanshan Gate to follow him. Before everyone arrived, everyone stood there in groups of three or three to wait.
Qin Dewei and his follower maid stood a little near the roadside. Xu Shian knew who Qin Dewei had made an appointment, so he followed closely.
After thinking about it, Mr. Zeng came over to talk to Qin Dewei, and thus formed a small group around Qin Dewei.
Qin Dewei looked back and chatted: "I heard that only Xu Miaojing is not here?" As the only top student in the Xu family, he did not actively participate in extracurricular activities.
Mr. Zeng nodded and said, "This child has always been dedicated to studying and does not know about foreign affairs..."
"Tsk!" Xu Shian snorted disdainfully: "It's just that he has his sister and he looks down on us. If you don't believe me, please watch it. Will they go to the East Garden meeting at the end of the month!"
It was obvious that everyone was here, but Qin Dewei, Xu Shi'an, and a certain maid had a tacit understanding and did not move their steps, and they didn't know what they were waiting for, which made Mr. Zeng very surprised.
As he was talking, a carriage drove out of the city gate.
The horse is a tall horse, and the carriage is carved with brocade ornaments. The thin silk gauze curtain hangs from the gilded roof, moving slightly in the wind, and the figures in the car appear and disappear.
Jianpu pulled the reins and steadily stopped the carriage in front of Qin Dewei. Then a beautiful face that was more than a flower demon appeared behind the curtain, as well as the bright phoenix hairpin Baodian.
"What a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet the Qin family guy here." The beauty took the initiative to chat with her in surprise.
Qin Dewei replied: "We are about to go to Mochou Lake, are you going to leave the city too?"
The beauty was even more surprised, "I really have a chance to meet you thousands of miles away! I also want to go to Mochou Lake, just to accompany you for a few people..."
Xu Shian looked at Qin Dewei, then looked at the beauty, and said in confusion: "Brother Qin wrote a letter to Sister Wang yesterday. Didn't he make an appointment to come together today?"
A terrible chat ended abruptly, and it would be awkward to talk again.
With the support of his maid, Wang Lianqing got off the carriage with a slight brilliance. Qin Dewei asked: "Why are you here so late?
Wang Lianqing raised her hand and held her face, and said with a smile: "It took a little more time to get up early to dress up. I'll see if my family is beautiful today..."
As he was talking, the beautiful Wang suddenly noticed the beautiful girl standing behind Qin Dewei and asked alertly: "Who is this?"
Qin Dewei didn't take it seriously, "This is my maid, the person who sent you a letter yesterday."
Just coax the ghost, you can still support women? It’s almost the same for women to support you! Wang Meiren didn’t believe it in her heart and said:
"Oh, that's not what you said in the vow between you and I. How could there be other women?"
Qin Dewei rolled his eyes: "You're thinking too much, she's just a maid!"
Although the contract stipulates that "the only designated partner of the opposite sex", a person with the status of a maid and servant does not have a competitive relationship with you, Meiren Wang!
Xu Shian finally found another chance to interrupt and quickly spoke: "Yes, I'll testify! She is a maid, our family gave it to Brother Qin!"
Meiren Wang picked up the round fan, covered her mouth and smiled, "Hehe, I am a maid at home, but since I came out with the male master, I only have one identity, a woman."
Xu Shian was confused, is there any difference?
Beauty Wang smiled but said nothing. In addition to the masters who needed to arrange the scene, who was the woman in the family attended the meeting, and weren’t there any servants around them?
Liu Yue bowed to the beautiful Wang and said, "Actually, the little slave is not a human being, it's just a thing. This sister should not care about the little slave, let alone make things a fuss with Mr. Qin."
Wang Lianqing's smile gradually disappeared. She originally wanted to act coquettishly for a few times, but Liu Yue's performance made her smell a similar breath instantly.
Humph, there are always women with ulterior motives like Qin Brother-At the same side!
I was just getting off the carriage and was suddenly challenged. I really think that all the beauties on the fame and flower list are fame? Who has not gone through many battles to make it to the list?
You can do whatever you want at home, but in this outward scene, it shouldn’t be where women in your family appear!
Beauty Wang walked to Qin Dewei and put it on Qin Dewei's shoulder intimately and said, "Haha, let me guess, is Brother Qin afraid that no one will serve him, so he brings a little slave out? Don't worry, I personally serve you today!"
"Then Mr. Qin, please ask Sister Wang. The little slave ran errands back and forth yesterday and was tired." Liu Yue replied.
Then she walked to the maid brought by Wang Lianqing, "Just let the little slave and this sister talk together."
Mr. Zeng, who had not made a sound for a long time, was already stunned. Are all young people so majestic nowadays?
He judged that he had tried his best to retreat to the enemy. After winning, the beauty Wang began to taste the fruit of victory, but she looked around and was a little confused.
He pointed at Mr. Zeng again and couldn't help but whisper to Qin Dewei's ear: "Brother, your literary friend is too casual. Why is there only one here so far? When will it take to wait?"
While greeting the people, Qin Dewei said to Wang Lianqing: "Where are those who are late? You are all here, let's go!"
Then Wang Lianqing saw that Qin Dewei led him to a group of small kids with only a tall shoulder.
What's the situation? Wang Lianqing was confused.
Xu Laosan took the lead and bragged to his classmates: "Look, I said, I can invite the most popular beauty! Do you think I was bragging when I said I was going to play in Nanshilou Street?"
The young men from the Xu family had been secretly observing for a long time. At this time, when she saw Meiren Wang coming over, she cheered and gathered around and started talking to each other.
It was like a group of little sparrows surrounding the colorful phoenixes, chirping non-stop.
Even Wang Lianqing, who was used to seeing the scene, couldn't help but be lost in a daze. Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
I want to cry a little, but I can't cry.
