Qin Lingsi and Shen Qianqian walked around Zhenwu Street for a long time. Their carriages were loaded with a lot of things.
Most of them are clothes, jewelry, rouge and perfume.
After meeting Youshi, the two of them sat in a carriage and returned to the palace.
Early the next morning, Qin Lingsi accompanied Shen Qianqian to Daming Temple to beg for a son in the morning, and in the afternoon she went to the racecourse to get acquainted with the newborn foal.
At dusk, she returned to Jiangdu City from the racecourse.
As I was returning to the palace along the street, I suddenly heard two people chatting in a tea shed.
Only one person said: "I heard that the frontline generals have begun to return to Jiangdu Mansion!"
Another person said: "Why haven't you heard? It's almost the end of the year, and there's no fighting on the front line anymore. Of course I have to come back!"
Qin Lingsi's heart moved, she drove her horse over and asked the two of them: "Brothers, do you know whether General Zhao Desheng has returned to the city?"
A man said: "It seems that I came back today, together with Marshal Chang Yuchun!"
Qin Lingsi thanked her and said to the entourage behind her: "Go and tell my sister and brother-in-law that I won't be going home for dinner tonight."
Turn the horse's head and head straight towards Zhao Mansion.
Halfway through the journey, I suddenly heard a child crying from the street.
I turned around and saw a woman holding a child beside a tree, sobbing.
The child was about ten years old and was crying loudly in his mother's arms.
Next to the two people, there was another man standing with an impatient face, and he kept telling the woman and child to shut up.
Seeing the man's appearance, Qin Lingsi was startled and reined in her horse.
The crying of the woman and child attracted many people to watch. The man was very angry and glared at the people around him, saying, "What are you looking at? Why are you doing nothing?"
He was wearing a military uniform, and with this glare, many of the onlookers dispersed.
Suddenly I heard a voice: "Hmph, what kind of heartless man is this? He bullied other women and even had children. Do you want to throw away his guilt?"
The man was furious and turned around to yell.
However, when he saw the appearance of that man, he couldn't help but trembled and said in a trembling voice: "The owner of the field!"
Qin Lingsi snorted, folded her arms, and leaned against the tree.
"Monkey, you are so brave, you actually secretly kept a mistress outside, and even the child is so big. I really looked down on you before!"
The monkey said anxiously: "That's not the case! Liu Chun, please make it clear to the owner of the venue!"
The woman was Liu Chun. She cried and said: "General, I used to follow the young lady. Since the young lady gave you a wife, I want to give you a concubine. Why don't you want us?"
Qin Lingsi sneered and said, "Oh, there's another young lady!"
The monkey was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, pulled Qin Lingsi's sleeve, and said: "Master, let's talk somewhere else."
The two led the horse and turned into an alley. Liu Chun's mother and son also followed from behind.
Qin Lingsi glanced around and said, "Okay, there's no one here anymore. If you have anything to say, just say it!"
The monkey pointed at Liu Chun, gritted his teeth and said: "Master, this woman is the Queen Mother of Han and Song Dynasty!" Then he pointed at Han Qing'er: "He is King Xiao Ming!"
Qin Lingsi was stunned for a moment, then turned to Liu Chun and her son.
"Seriously?"
Liu Chun lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Han and Song Dynasties are about to perish. The Nu family and Qing'er orphans and widows only hope to live with the young lady!"
Qin Lingsi rolled her eyes and said, "The young lady you are talking about is Yang Ying?"
"Yes, the slave family used to be a young lady and a maidservant. Later, Liu Futong forcibly abducted my mother and son to Haozhou, forcing Qing'er to become the emperor and serve as his puppet to order the Song army!"
Qin Lingsi narrowed her eyes and said: "So, you are also Han Shantong's wife? Why do you have to pester the monkey?"
Liu Chun said anxiously: "No, no, the slave family just wants to follow the young lady like before. General Hou is the young lady's husband, so naturally the slave family is also General Hou!"
The monkey said angrily: "Why should I take you as my concubine?"
Liu Chun said with a sad face: "General, am I so annoying to you? Even the lady doesn't mind, why don't you accept me?"
The monkey said solemnly: "These are two different things. The king has arranged a house for you mother and son. When you are ennobled in the future, your son will also be included, and you can live on your own!"
Liu Chun's face turned pale and he said anxiously: "I don't want anything. I just want to follow the young lady. Qing'er can also follow his brother. You can treat me as a decoration and just give me a title!"
The monkey frowned and said, "I'm just a fourth-grade general. Your son's future title may not be lower than mine. Why do you have to give me a title?"
Liu Chun lowered his head and said nothing.
When Qin Lingsi saw this, she vaguely understood Liu Chun's thoughts.
"Ms. Liu, if you really want to survive on monkeys, you'd better be more honest!"
The monkey was stunned: "Master, what do you mean?"
Qin Lingsi smiled and said: "Don't you understand? I have been a Queen Mother, how could I be pestering you to be your concubine? Are you very handsome?"
Speaking of this, he smiled.
The monkey was confused. He glanced at Liu Chun and found that her eyes were flashing, as if she was thinking about something. He was secretly shuddered, knowing that this woman really had an ulterior motive.
"Mrs. Liu, if you have anything to say, say it clearly. If you want to entangle me with this method, I will never agree!"
Liu Chun sighed and said in a low voice: "Please forgive me, General, I just want to protect myself!"
The monkey frowned and said: "Why protect yourself? No one wants to harm you?"
Liu Chun whispered: "Since ancient times, how many of the kings who surrendered have a good ending? Although the king has not done anything to us mother and son now, there is no telling in the future!"
The monkey was speechless. It turned out that Liu Chun was afraid that Zhang Yangquan would liquidate Han Qing'er in the future!
She is really worried. Han Qing'er, a young boy, what threat can he pose to the king?
Liu Chun seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and said: "General, when you go on the Northern Expedition, some of the old troops of the Song Army may join you, right? Then the situation will be different!"
The monkey hesitated for a long time and said: "Don't worry, the king is kind and generous, and he won't do anything to you!"
Liu Chun smiled bitterly and said: "With this identity, my mother and son, whatever the Song army does in the future, it may implicate us!"
Qin Lingsi smiled and said: "So you want to follow Yang Ying's example and use your identity as a monkey concubine to replace your identity as the Queen Mother of the Song Army and let him protect you!"
Liu Chun begged: "Yes, please save us, general, for the sake of Qing'er being Lin'er's younger brother!"
The monkey stared at her and said, "You only want your status?"
"Yes! As long as I have the title of concubine, you can treat me as your maidservant!"
The monkey glanced at Qin Lingsi and said, "Master, what do you think I should do?"
Qin Lingsi narrowed her eyes and smiled, and said: "Her worries are not unreasonable. Her parents are not bad, and this matter will not be a disadvantage for you. I think you will agree?"
The monkey couldn't laugh or cry, and said with a wry smile: "Since you said so, then I will listen to you!"
Liu Chun was overjoyed and thanked Qin Lingsi again and again.
The monkey invited Qin Lingsi to come over for a meal, and Qin Lingsi agreed with a thought.
They returned to the Hou Mansion together. Yang Ying seemed to be very happy after learning that the monkey accepted Liu Chun, and took Liu Chun to the kitchen to talk.
Qin Lingsi called the monkey and walked all the way to the study room of the Marquis. She walked behind the desk and sat down, pondering in silence.
The monkey observed the words and said: "Master, what's bothering you?"
Qin Ling thought for a while and said, "Go and call Wang Da and Geng San over. I have something I want you to help me with!"
The monkey agreed and left the study.
The Wang Mansion and Geng Mansion were both very close to the Marquis Mansion. Within a quarter of an hour, the monkey was fighting back and forth, followed by Wang Da and Geng San.
Qin Lingsi told the three people about the problem of attacking Jeju Island and asked them to help find a solution!
The monkey was silent.
Geng Sanqian smiled and said: "Owner, if you want to ask for ideas, you should ask Mr. Liu. Isn't it a waste of time to ask us?"
Wang stared.
"Geng San, don't you blush when you say this? It's rare for the venue owner to think highly of us, so we should rack our brains and help the venue owner come up with a good idea!"
He rubbed his hands and said again: "If we came up with the idea, your Majesty would definitely send us to implement it. Owner, don't you think so?"
Qin Lingsi said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense. If you have an idea, just say it. If you don't have an idea, I'll find someone else!"
Wang Da scratched the back of his head and said: "If you want to deal with cavalry, of course you have to use pikemen. Otherwise, let's try using pikemen?"
Qin Lingsi shook her head and said: "The Mongolian cavalry are good at volley shooting, and the spearmen are just living targets, useless!"
Wang DaDao: "Is it okay to use artillery?"
Qin Lingsi glanced at him sideways and said: "The new artillery is so heavy, it takes a lot of effort to move it ashore! And it is inconvenient to move. It can be used to defend and attack the city. If it is a field battle, people will outflank it from both sides. What will you do?"
Wang Daji is poor.
Qin Lingsi sighed and said, "Forget it, I'll think about it myself." She stood up and was about to leave.
Geng San suddenly said: "Master, if you want to deal with enemy bows and arrows, you can use musketeers. The Ordnance Bureau has produced more than 10,000 muskets, and if you form a musketeer team of 10,000 people, you should be able to win!"
Qin Lingsi frowned and said: "Although the muskets are powerful, they cannot stop the cavalry charge. As long as the cavalry rushes forward, the musketeers will have no choice but to be slaughtered!"
Geng San scratched his head and said: "That's true!"
Qin Lingsi waved her hand and said, "Okay, I'll think about this some more." She stood up and left.
