In Zhang Xiaowu's view, Murong Thirteen's decision to give up the fight for the title was extremely correct. If Marquis Yingchuan wanted to pass the title to him, he would have to serve in the army. The Murong family has guarded Lianglang Pass for generations, which is both a responsibility and a curse.
this
The curse trapped the men of the Murong family in the Two Wolf Valley Road. The head of the Murong family must be the one with military power, so seven of Murong Ke's sons stayed in the army, but Murong Thirteen was sent to preside over the brothel and the
The business of prostitution.
So Murong Thirteen was the one who was given up by his father in the first place. It was just that Murong Thirteen was ambitious and wanted more. Now it seems that Murong Thirteen has completely thought about it. Zhang Xiaowu felt strange again, why Murong Thirteen
Thirteen has not found himself - forget it, let's not find himself. Thinking of his half-man and half-female appearance and behavior makes him feel uncomfortable.
Among the Twelve Golden Hairpins in Cuiyan Pavilion, the one who impressed Zhang Xiaowu the most was the girl Yunyan who liked to write couplets, and Yunyan was also one of the very beautiful girls in the Twelve Golden Hairpins. But the last time I saw Miss Yunyan was two years ago
At that time, Zhang Xiaowu answered the question to Miss Yunyan and forced Prince Liu Neng and Liu Gong of Yizhou who challenged the northern students to run away in embarrassment.
Yun Yan also immediately found him among the wealthy guests. From the day they parted two years ago, she has always been obsessed with the teasing young general Zhang Xiaowu. However, no matter how much a brothel girl favors a great hero, it will not help.
Just being able to see him again today made me satisfied. Yunyan had always been bold and bold, but when facing Zhang Xiaowu, she suddenly felt as shy as a little daughter. The two of them accidentally looked at each other, and Yunyan was extremely happy in her heart, and her mood seemed to be worse than eating.
It’s even sweeter than honey.
But today, Miss Yunyan is not the protagonist among the girls. The protagonist is Miss Ziyao, who is good at playing the pipa.
Miss Ziyao is still the same as before, she is still very reserved and doesn't like to talk too much. Her face always has a touch of sadness and indifference to the world. It is precisely the coldness and purity in her body that makes the princes of the capital flock to her. Zhang Xiaowu has always felt that
Miss Ziyao looks like a woman, Akina Nakamura, and the most exciting moment when she lowers her head is heart-pounding. Although Zhang Xiaowu is not
I like girls like Ziyao, but I also know that sometimes men are just mean. The more a girl ignores them, the more they think she is a goddess. When Ziyao was in the Cuiyan Pavilion at Lianglangguan, she was not too popular in the north.
Despite being welcomed by wealthy guests, everyone instead liked the cheerful and lively Yunyan. In Longdu, Ziyao became the top star of Cuiyan Pavilion and was favored by the young masters of Longdu.
When Marquis Mudong saw Zhang Xiaowu nodding with one of the singers and showing a "vulgar" smile, he was first surprised and then happy, and asked: "My dear brother, which one do you like? Is it the most beautiful one?"
?”
Zhang Xiaowu laughed, waved his hand and said in a pretentious manner: "I like them all, they are all beautiful." He knew that which one he said he liked, Marquis Mudong would definitely spend money to redeem it and give it to him, so he deliberately said he liked them all to avoid him.
Give yourself a beauty. Although beauties are good, too many are not good. There is already a second wife in the family, and the emperor is planning to act as a matchmaker for him. The thought of the emperor acting as a matchmaker gives him a headache.
Mu Donghou was stunned at first, and then laughed heartily: "If my dear brother's body can really bear it, what's the harm in having these twelve beauties together? If I had a body as young as yours, I would be like you,
I want them all." He turned around and ordered his servant, who nodded and left quickly.
"Brother Lin, you are being humble. I see that you are only in your thirties, and you are very young and strong." Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile.
Mu Donghou said: "I am already fifty-five, and half of my body is buried in the soil. No, no, no. My dear brother likes these twelve beauties, so I will ask someone to send them to your house."
Zhang Xiaowu obviously did not expect that Marquis Mudong would have such great courage, but he knew that the twelve golden hairpins of Cuiyan Pavilion were the heart and soul of the Thirteenth Young Master Murong, so how could he let others get their hands on them, so he smiled and shook his head and said: "No need to go to such trouble.
, I already understand Brother Lin’s kindness, but I have a good wife at home and don’t want to cause chaos in the family.”
"Yes, everything will be happy if the family is harmonious. Family harmony is the most important thing." Mu Donghou said with a smile. Several singers started to play instruments. Zhang Xiaowu didn't like these musical performances very much. It's not that their playing skills were not good.
Simply because he doesn't like this slow and leisurely performance style that is a bit similar to mourning music. Listening to their music is better than listening to "Moonlight over the Lotus Pond".
Marquis Mudong saw that Zhang Xiaowu didn't like music very much, so he took the opportunity to laugh and said: "My dear brother, when I first came to the capital as an official, the Silver Guard Yamen will definitely need a lot of gold and silver to control. This is a silver note of one hundred thousand taels.
On behalf of Wanheng Yinzhuang, I would like to donate to Yinyiwei Yamen for expenses, but I only ask my late brother to do a small thing."
Doing things is a lie, and donating gold is true, but giving it to the Silver Guards is different from giving it to yourself. Giving it to the Silver Guards is for the public. Zhang Xiaowu can explain it clearly in front of the emperor, but if the one hundred thousand taels are given to himself, there is nothing he can do.
I explained it to the emperor and his subordinates. The move Mu Donghou gave to Zhang Xiaowu really hit his weak point. Only after arriving in Longdu did he realize that the consumption here was so high, especially the price of food.
Previously, because Mucheng had huge food reserves, Zhang Xiaowu never worried about food. Instead, he was afraid that the food would become moldy and go bad if it was stored for too long. He even asked everyone to make wine to consume the food that had been stored for too long. Even now, the Ghost Guard has never worried about food.
problem. After arriving in Longdu, Zhang Xiaowu’s first concern was food. When he was in Tucheng, Zhang Xiaowu almost starved to death. When he was in Mucheng, he defeated the dog barbarians many times because of food. Therefore, these two experiences made Zhang Xiaowu special.
Pay attention to food reserves.
After arriving in Longdu, Zhang Xiaowu ordered Hu Sanwan to buy enough food for the silver guards for two years to ensure that the guards would not starve within two years, but this also cost him a lot of gold and silver.
Zhang Xiaowu was deeply moved and said: "With the help of Brother Lin, the silver-clad guards will be even more powerful. Don't mention one, even ten. If Brother Lin encounters any trouble, you might as well tell me."
Mu Donghou said with a smile: "That's it. My slave was deceived and bought several houses, but he didn't know that this house was the residence of Yin Yiwei. Later, Yin Yiwei took back the house, and I
I asked my slaves to return them immediately, and there was no bad blood between the two parties. However, there is a house where I have some money stored underground, so I hope to get the money back."
Zhang Xiaowu said: "Where is the residence?"
Mu Donghou said: "The Silver Clothes Guard House in Xianrenfang."
