Leaving the others in Zhang's house to take care of them, Li Chengzhong, Li Chengyue, and Gao Xingzhou rushed to Mingyue Songfeng Pavilion.
Mingyue Songfeng Pavilion is one of the two major brothels in Youzhou City that is as famous as Qianjin Yixiao Tower. It is the most sensitive to changes in high-level power. It pays close attention to the appointment and dismissal of military officials and generals, and has close ties with the Yamen and officials in Jiedu Mansion.
, the news was very well-informed. The contents of the morning military meeting in Jietang had already reached here. Li Chengzhong was appointed as the military envoy of Liucheng and the governor of Yan County. The news of the guerrilla general immediately caused a sensation in Mingyue Songfeng Pavilion.
Madam Huiniang was stunned for a long time when she heard about it. She secretly thought that she was really blind. She didn't expect that a little Xuanjie with no foundation could rise to the position of general in one step. She couldn't help but sigh, knowing that she would never be able to stay again.
Living in Wanzhi, from then on, there were only two people left in the top three of Mingyue Songfeng Pavilion, and she felt sad. But Hui Niang was a person who saw opportunities very quickly, and she changed her smile in a blink of an eye, and rushed into Wanzhi's room in a hurry.
He said "congratulations" repeatedly.
After a while, all the famous girls in the pavilion came to Wanzhi's room to congratulate her, and it became very lively.
Wanzhi chatted with her for a long time and then sent everyone away. Only Ru Niang, Du Qingqiu and her best sister Lu Glaze were left in the room. Ru Niang, Du Qingqiu and Wan Zhi were both members of the Three Elements of Mingyue Songfeng Pavilion.
First of all, in the past two years, there have been many signs of separation and a lot of dissatisfaction between each other, but now that Wanzhi is about to leave, those past grudges suddenly seem ridiculous and have long since dissipated, leaving only envy and sadness.
Ru Niang was envious that Wan Zhi could find her husband and that she would have a solid support for the rest of her life. Du Qingqiu thought of her own worries and was filled with sorrow. Ru Niang didn't have a crush yet, but Du Qingqiu did, but he was a scholar.
, although they were from a well-off family, they did not have much power and money to redeem Du Qingqiu's life. In the face of reality, the two of them had no choice but to bow their heads.
After Ru Niang and Du Qingqiu left, Lu Chai cried, and Wan Zhi also shed a lot of tears. Then Lu Chai said: "Sister now has a good home, Lu Chai is happy, but Lu Chai is reluctant to give up.
, I really don’t know who I can talk to after my sister is gone. Why don’t my sister beg General Li for Lu Mo to take Lu Mo away with her? Lu Mo does not want to be a wife or concubine, but just wants to be her sister’s companion, even if she is a maid.
Okay." After saying that, he knelt down.
Wanzhi hurriedly picked up Lu Glaze: "We are sisters, why should we be like this?" She thought about it carefully, and she felt a little helpless when she went to a strange place. Lu Glaze and she had a sisterhood, and even more
Master and disciple Enyi, if he could lead Green Glaze out of the misery of the brothel, he would feel more at ease and have a companion outside the Pass. He immediately said: "Since my sister wants to go, I will give it a try. It's just the bitter cold outside the Pass. I don't know if my sister can bear it."
Come on?"
Green Glaze was overjoyed, wiping her tears and said, "Yes! Yes!"
While the two were talking, they heard a commotion outside. A servant had come over and announced with a smile: "General Li is here! Everyone, Wanzhi, hurry up and get ready. The general is here to pick you up!"
Wanzhi was stunned, and hurriedly packed up in front of the bronze mirror for a moment, then hurriedly packed up her luggage. With the help of Green Glaze, she packed her years of savings, jewelry and clothes into two boxes. After finishing them, she walked back and forth in the room.
He walked forward, rubbing his hands continuously, and after thinking for a while, he called out to Green Glaze: "Sister, I'll wait here. I'll go see the general later."
With Gao Xingzhou helping him, everything went smoothly. Li Chengzhong was also very happy to find a sister for Wan Zhi to keep him company. Gao Xingzhou brought a sedan with him, and Li Chengzhong rolled up the curtains with his own hands, placing Wan Zhi and the green glaze
Welcoming him into the sedan, he bowed his hands to the crowd arriving from Mingyue Songfeng Pavilion and turned around to leave.
The old Madam Hui Niang, who looked ugly, sighed at the door and helplessly watched the car drive away. Li Chengzhong not only kidnapped the dance leader, but also took away the backup dancers. No one would be happy if he replaced him.
Back at Zhang's house, the banquet has been served. Lao Dutou, Li Chengzhong, Li Chengyue and Gao Xing sit at one table, Zhang Xingzhong, Wang Dalang, Rhee Chengwan and Wang Sili sit at one table, and other soldiers sit at another table. Lan'er and her mother-in-law and Wan Zhi sit at the same table.
, Green Glaze gathered at a table in the back room.
The old man was very happy. It was the first time in his life that he could drink at the same table with three generals. He was a little cautious. He knew that he had to leave early the next morning, so he didn't dare to drink more.
During the banquet, Li Chengzhong asked the old man to recognize Lan'er as his adopted sister. The Zhang family was overjoyed. They quickly asked Lan'er to come out and bowed three times to Li Chengzhong, which was regarded as the title of "the general's adopted sister".
Now that the banquet was served, Li Chengyue suggested that we just take in concubines tonight and give Wan Zhi a name. In ancient times, taking concubines was quite casual and was not as grand and formal as marrying a wife. Especially when taking concubines from brothels, they often had a hat.
The sedan was pulled directly from the brothel back home, and even directly onto the bed. Those who paid more attention to their concubines would set up a few tables, invite friends to come and gather, and collect some gifts along the way. Those who found it too troublesome would just do everything.
I skipped it and simply announced the matter to the servants at home.
Li Chengzhong had no parents in this life, and only had Zhou Zhiyu as his division commander. There was no need to report the matter of concubinage to Zhou Zhiyu, but he still sent a soldier to Zhou Mansion to spread the news. Zhou Zhiyu was busy with other things and had no time to come over.
To celebrate, he asked the soldier to come back with a gift.
Wan Zhi is the first woman in Li Chengzhong's life, and he still attaches great importance to it. After much calculation, because of Lan'er, Lao Dutou can barely be regarded as a father, so he asked Wan Zhi to come out in front of everyone.
They bowed to Lao Dutou and his wife together, and then toasted to everyone present one by one, starting with Lao Dutou and his wife, one cup each. Everyone hurriedly looked for gifts to celebrate. Only Li Chengyue,
Gao Xingzhou, Wang Sili, and Syngman Rhee were prepared and sent generous congratulatory gifts.
Li Chengzhong came from time to time, bringing with him the concept of equality for all people in later generations. He pulled Wanzhi to toast, even to the few soldiers present, which frightened the soldiers into a panic and even said they dared not take it seriously. After drinking,
With a grimace on their faces, everyone took out all their money and belongings as gifts for their generals. Liu Ba was the most unlucky. He drank a glass of wine from Li Chengzhong and emptied the last bit of money he had with him.
Li Chengzhong didn't know that he had forcibly deducted nearly half a year's military pay from each of his soldiers, so he accepted it with a smile.
Wanzhi had better eyesight, so she privately asked Lu Glaze to reward the soldiers in the name of Li Chengzhong. The rewards came from her own savings, so the soldiers did not suffer any losses.
After the banquet, both Gao Xingzhou and Li Chengyue left the Zhang residence, but Wang Sili and Rhee Chengwan stayed. It turned out that these two people heard about Youxiao's spying, so they took advantage of Li Chengzhong to go to Mingyue Songfeng Pavilion to pick up Wanzhi.
During the free time, we each went back home, packed up the gift packages, and said goodbye to our families. Since we had to leave early the next morning, we might as well stay in Zhangzhai tonight, which would save a lot of things.
At around nine o'clock on the second day, the sky was slightly bright, and the gate of Youzhou City had just opened, and Li Chengzhong and his party came out from the east gate.
The motorcade traveled along the official road, making a series of sounds of horse hooves and winds. At first, they kept encountering merchants and farmers rushing to Youzhou City. After walking ten miles, the number of pedestrians decreased. The wilderness was bright, the surroundings were silent, and the farmland was gloomy.
Breeze blowing.
Wanzhi, Lan'er and Luwan were all young women, and they gathered in a car for this trip. The three women opened the curtain of the car and looked out, looking at the farms and green crops in the fields, pointing at the patches.
From time to time, the grove above it emits bursts of charming laughter unique to the daughter's family.
Li Chengzhong suddenly felt as if he was filming a movie as an extra before time travel, and the filming was still "Brother Pig", and he couldn't help but howl in a bad taste, "You are crazy and I am stupid."
Seeing Li Chengzhong, he was in high spirits, and everyone under his command was in a good mood. Li Chengyue and Wang Sili were galloping around the official road, showing off their riding and archery skills to each other in front of their future generals. The two were worthy of being trained disciples of the general family, and their bow skills were outstanding.
The horses were all skillful, and after a while, they picked up a few pheasants and gray rabbits, threw them onto the cart, and proudly asked Li Chengzhong for the credit.
Wang Dalang took the opportunity to come up to him and said hehe, "The general has gained a lot this time. He not only captured the heart of a beautiful woman, but also took one along with him. He is indeed a hero!"
Li Chengzhong smiled and said: "Don't talk nonsense, sir! If you take Wan Zhi as your concubine, how can you even bring her good sister into the house?"
Wang Dalang said: "Why not? It is a good story that two sisters serve the general at the same time."
Li Chengzhong didn't answer, just smiled and shook his head. After all, he still had the modern concepts of later generations. This time his behavior of concubinage had reached his bottom line. If he did it to Wanzhi's sisters again, he would always feel sorry.
Wan Zhi really has a mental disorder. What's more, compared with Wan Zhi, Lv Glaze is far behind in terms of figure, appearance, dancing skills, and even her reputation in the brothel. Especially the latter, she is very vain.
It's a very ethereal thing, but it actually affects people's hearts. Wanzhi is the leader of the dance team. In this era, she is a star in the entertainment industry. Being able to conquer a famous woman is worthy of showing off for men no matter what.
matter.
Wang Dalang made a small calculation and found out that Li Chengzhong really didn't seem to have the idea of taking Green Glaze as his concubine, so he revealed his true face: "General, hehe, that... uh... someone saw Lv Glaze last night, uh... hehe
..." A "you know" look.
Li Chengzhong glanced sideways at Wang Dalang and said: "Lu Glaze and Wan Zhiqing are sisters. If you really mean it, you can find a way on your own. In a word, don't use force. If Lu Glaze agrees to you, I will naturally make the decision for you. If someone else
If you don’t agree, just give in!”
Wang Dalang hurriedly nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, and then happily walked to the side of the car and started chatting.
At the same time, at the east gate of Youzhou, more than a dozen cavalry generals rushed past and chased down the official road. The leader was Li Chengyue, the Yancheng guard.
Li Chengyue was originally going to leave one day late, but when he woke up today, he suddenly realized that Lan'er had left Youzhou, and he started to feel empty and panicked. After getting up, he walked around the house in a state of confusion, like a wandering god at night.
I felt like I couldn't get up my energy for anything. After being dazed for a while, I suddenly realized that the official road to Lulongsai and the official road to Pingzhou were the same road before Sanhe County. Wouldn't this be the same as Lanzhou?
Are you sixty or seventy miles away from me?
So he quickly ordered his soldiers to pack up and prepare. At the same time, he said goodbye to his adults and mother, and hurriedly set off under the astonished eyes of his parents.
After Li Chengyue left, the prince's young master Li Juncao and his wife looked at each other for a long time. The wife asked: "My son has deep love, what should I do?"
Li Juncao frowned and thought. He was a little undecided for a moment, but just kept silent.
