Zhu Youxiao suddenly asked about Liu Ziguang's residence. Liu Ziguang was not prepared, so he answered honestly: "I will live in Ziguang Car Shop for the time being. I can move there after the Nanchang Yamen is completed."
"My important minister actually lives in a carriage house. How unbecoming is it? It's not good to live in a government office. You are the minister in charge of the bodyguard, so you have to live near the palace. How about this? I will find a place for you to build a house."
As Zhu Youxiao spoke, he turned back and asked Wei Zhongxian, "Is there any suitable foundation near the palace?"
"Back to the emperor, every inch of land near the palace is covered with gold. There is no free land. However, I have an idea. Wasn't the mansion of Huang Jinrong and Yang Bo sealed by the imperial court? It is just right to give it to Mr. Liu. Everything is complete.
There can't be any large-scale construction, so I can live in it today," Wei Zhongxian said.
"That's right! Xiao Weizi is still smart. Let's take it like this. It's up to you to choose the house of Huang Huangrong or Yang Bo. If you need anything, just ask." Zhu Youxiao happily said to Liu Ziguang.
"It's such a waste, I live alone in such a big house." Liu Ziguang declined hypocritically.
"I almost forgot, Aiqing hasn't gotten married yet, and your gang of rough-and-tumble men don't know how to serve. Why don't you take it over with the people in the mansion? All the family members and servants of Huang Huangrong and Yang Bo will be given to you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward." Liu Ziguang felt very happy. He originally wanted to find an opportunity to ask the Emperor for the more than fifty concubines, but now he could get them without even asking.
"You guys all help Liu Aiqing pay attention. If there is a well-matched lady, I can grant you a marriage." Zhu Youxiao had just gotten married and was still on his honeymoon, so he sympathized with Liu Ziguang's twenty-year-old son who was still unmarried.
.I have the idea of helping Liu Ziguang resolve the major marriage issues this year.
"I will obey the holy edict." Everyone agreed together. Although almost everyone here knew about Liu Ziguang and Peng Jinrong, no one said anything. Liu Ziguang's current net worth has risen sharply. It is normal to marry three wives and four concubines. Everyone began to wonder about their own family.
As an unmarried female concubine of similar age and good looks, if she can be granted marriage by the emperor and become an in-law with Liu Ziguang, it would be an excellent political alliance.
After the court meeting, Liu Ziguang rushed back excitedly. This time he gained a lot of benefits. First of all, 1,500 Han generals were separated from the ranks of the imperial guards and placed under the jurisdiction of him, the minister in charge of the guards.
Then there are the two important positions of the Minister of Industry and the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, and the institution of Nanchang has also been preserved. Finally, there is a huge house and dozens of young and beautiful maids. He has already thought about it, but still wants to
Yang Bo's house is more suitable, but Huang Huangrong's house is too over-the-top. It's better to keep a low profile.
He sat on the horse and walked while planning: after returning, he would first move his family to Yang Bo's house. Since Peng Jingwei arrived in the capital, he has been living in the Ziguang car dealership. With a large group of subordinates, the car dealership has been overcrowded.
Now that he suddenly has a big house, it solves his urgent need. Anyway, the place is big enough, Zhamu He, Li Yan and the others can live in it. He is not going to keep the original team of Huang Huangrong as servants and maids. Anyway, as long as there is money
You don’t have to worry about no one coming to do the work.
Huang Yang's house confiscation work in the Second Mansion has not yet ended. It is estimated that the money that can fall into his pocket is at least three million taels. Taking advantage of the abundant funds, he settled all the marriage matters of the old brothers in the red shirt regiment. Huang Huangrong's more than fifty
These concubines are all young and beautiful women. If you don’t dislike the concubines who have been eunuchs, they are still very suitable for wives. As for Gu Dahai and his gang, let them stay in the Donglin Party system for the time being.
, just give me a few thousand taels of silver as a courtesy, it may come in handy in the future.
There is also the construction of the Nanchang Yamen and the affairs of the Ministry of Industry. Now, except for some soldiers who stay in the palace to serve as security guards, most of the red shirt regiments have camped outside the south gate. The construction of the camp is in full swing.
As the process continues, the four captured Weng Zhongs and the captured Weng Zhong operators are also in the South Factory, as well as a large number of documents and files moved from the East Factory Library Building. These technical equipment, prisoners, and information will take time to be digested slowly.
.
After returning home, I had to seize the time to send a telegram to summon Song Yingxing and Addison to the capital. If the talents and skills of these two uncles and nephews were only used in the workshop of the iron factory, it would be overkill, and the Liguo Iron Factory belonged to the Peng family after all.
Industry, if Liu Ziguang wants to start his own business, he still has to break out of the small iron factory and move his production and R&D institutions to Jiangnan, where manpower and material resources are more abundant.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of Ziguang Automobile Dealership, he saw Ding Libin rushing out of the yard and almost ran into Liu Ziguang. "Sir, you are back. I was just going to greet you." Ding Libin looked like he had finally found the organization.
"What's wrong? What's going on?" Liu Ziguang was a little puzzled, could anyone dare to come here to cause trouble?
"Don't mention it. I can't explain clearly. You'd better go to the backyard and have a look. It's all such a big fuss that Mr. Sun can't control the situation anymore."
"There are other things like this, please take me to see them quickly." Liu Ziguang got off his horse and followed Ding Libin quickly to the backyard. As soon as he reached the second door, he heard thunderous barking of dogs in the backyard. When he entered the yard, he found two newly bought by Peng Jingwei.
The Tibetan Mastiff was roaring crazily at the roof, and the iron chains were bent into a straight line. The second lady standing next to her was full of tears, and there were three faint blood stains. She was kicking Sun Gang relentlessly and yelling.
He said: "Didn't you say that you would help me kill anyone who messed with me? Why are you wilted now?" Sun Gang hesitated and did not dare to answer. The arrogant and domineering little bully in the past now became a docile and cowardly little sheep.
"What's going on?" Liu Ziguang asked with a frown.
"Brother-in-law, you are here. Do you care if someone hits me?" When Peng Jingwei saw Liu Ziguang show up, she seemed to have found a savior and rushed over to Sun Gang, grabbing Liu Ziguang's arm and shaking it violently.
"Did that person on the roof hit you?" Liu Ziguang asked. At this time, he had already seen the other protagonist of this turmoil, Liu Mao Mao, who was lazily lying on the eaves with an ice cream.
This is an extremely expensive cold drink in the capital. It is made from the ice and snow saved in winter mixed with fresh milk, fruit juice, and refined sugar. It is a luxury that even ordinary wealthy households, let alone ordinary people, cannot afford.
Liu Maotai was lying on the eaves as if nothing had happened, her eyes were squinted, her bright red tongue was licking the ice cream, her expression was content, and she didn't care at all about the roars of the two Tibetan mastiffs below. Instead, it was the white cat Xiaosan next to her, whose hair stood on end.
He bent his body into a bow and whined lowly at the Tibetan Mastiff, showing his teeth and claws. He looked like a cat taking advantage of the power of others.
"Brother-in-law, look, he's still acting wild!" Peng Jingwei pointed at the mistress and complained, "It's the two of them who stole my ice cream and beat someone. That person scratched my face. Brother-in-law, you have to make the decision for me.
ah."
"What's going on? Sun Gang, please tell me." Liu Ziguang knew that this sister-in-law was not a light-hearted person. Thank God if she didn't bully others. How could she be bullied by others?
"This is what happened." Sun Gang said. It turned out that today Sun Gang accompanied the second lady to visit the Confucius Temple, and happened to meet an ice cream seller. Peng Jingwei could not eat such delicacies in Xuzhou Prefecture, so she immediately ordered Sun Gang to bring out
I bought a box for ten taels of silver. It is the end of July and the weather is still hot. The ice cream must be placed in a wooden box covered with a quilt to keep the temperature low. Peng Jingwei happily carried the box of ice cream back to the car dealership, changed her clothes and washed them.
When I turned around and wanted to eat it, I found that the ice cream had disappeared. When I looked around, I saw that it had been taken away by a strange girl. Moreover, the girl did not leave after stealing. She took out the ice cream and lay it on the floor.
Eating deliciously on top of the closet.
This made Peng Jingwei furious. She shouted to catch the thief. There were not many other people in Ziguang Automobile Shop, but there were many strong men. After hearing the cry of catching the thief, the red shirt regiment, the iron guard, the Nanchang fans, etc.
Everyone in the department rushed in with weapons in hand, but when they saw the so-called thief, they all felt like deflated balls. Although Liu Maotai never talked to anyone except Liu Ziguang, everyone knew about this mysterious thief.
The relationship between the girl and Mr. Liu is by no means simple. Who dares to interfere in such nosy matters? Except for Sun Gang, who stayed in the yard and kneaded with the mud, everyone else left without saying a word.
The second young lady was furious and rushed forward to beat Liu Mao Mao, but how could she be Liu Mao Mao's opponent? One claw came and left three shallow blood marks on Peng Jingwei's face. Fortunately, Peng Jingwei hid quickly.
Otherwise, the relationship must be broken.
Peng Jingwei, who had been pampered since she was a child, had never experienced such grievances. She immediately released the two Tibetan mastiffs she bought at the Beijing Dog Market to bite Kitty Liu. Sun Gang tried to stop him, but two Tibetan mastiffs that looked like calves pounced at him.
However, Liu Maomao quickly hit him on the nose. The Tibetan Mastiff felt the pain, but became even more frenzied and continued to pounce. Liu Maomao dodged and climbed to the roof in two strokes. Without going far, he lay down.
On the eaves, she continued to hold her ice cream as if there was no one around.
Peng Jingwei was so angry that she burst into tears. She could not be beaten again and again, and no one came to help her, so she had to vent her anger on Sun Gang and beat and scolded him.
Liu Ziguang came. Ding Libin just went out and met Liu Ziguang coming back. This is what happened.
Liu Ziguang couldn't laugh or cry. When these two girls with weird tempers met, they were at odds with each other. Peng Jingwei had been spoiled since she was a child. She was overbearing, arrogant, and arrogant. Even factory owner Peng couldn't do anything to him when he acted like a young lady. Now,
Finally met a more unreasonable opponent. In Liu Maomao's mind, everything belonging to Liu Ziguang, including Liu Ziguang himself, is her private property, whether it is the river house or all the delicious food in Ziguang Car Shop.
She has the right to expropriate everything that is fun. That’s why there were incidents of stealing Peng Jingrong’s clothes and makeup boxes and stealing Peng Jingwei’s ice cream this time.
This idea comes from Liu Xiaomao's feline nature. Dogs will regard people who are kind to them as their masters and gods, but cats are the opposite. They will think of themselves as their masters, and people who are kind to them are their slaves.
Liu Ziguang provided safe shelter and sufficient food to Liu Mao Mao and her subordinates every day, so they were naturally regarded as slaves by them. Of course, Liu Ziguang did not know this, he just felt that Liu Mao Mao, as a cat, was
The orphans who grew up in the group were pitiful. Out of compassion for helping the weak and protecting animals, he adopted Liu Mao Mao, and Liu Mao Mao also helped him a lot. The two of them stole things and eavesdropped together, and they went through many experiences together.
There are many things, and Liu Mao Mao is also an excellent listener. In his spare time, he often listens attentively to Liu Ziguang's talk about things in the 21st century, such as riding a tricycle to buy sausages, having a crush on a female classmate when he was in school, and being raped by his father for stealing family money when he was a child.
He had never even told Peng Jinrong about the beatings.
Because of this, Liu Ziguang's position in Liu Ziguang's heart was much higher than that of his second lady Peng Jingwei, who had once enslaved and whipped him. The balance in Liu Ziguang's heart was unconsciously tilted towards Liu Ziguang.
"Brother-in-law, I don't care who she is, you must help me say this today. Look at my face, it's bleeding, 55555~~" Peng Jingwei held Liu Ziguang's arm and continued to cry.
"Isn't it just a few ice creams? You actually let the Tibetan mastiff bite someone! Second lady, you are too cruel. The bleeding on your face is considered minor. If they don't dig out your eyeballs, they are showing mercy."
Liu Ziguang said to Peng Jingwei with a cold face.
"Brother-in-law..." Peng Jingwei never expected that Liu Ziguang would actually say such words. The sobbing she had just turned into howling, and she rushed out wiping her tears.
"Miss Peng Er..." Sun Gang shouted, then hesitantly glanced at Liu Ziguang.
"Look at whatever you're looking at. If you like it, go for it! You idiot." Liu Ziguang laughed and cursed.
"Yes!" Sun Gang walked away and chased Peng Jingwei.
"Kitten, come down." Liu Ziguang shouted to the girl on the roof in a gentle tone.
Liu Maomao still ignored him with his eyes half-closed.
"Liu Xiaomao~~" Liu Ziguang took two steps closer and continued to call. Unexpectedly, the two ferocious Tibetan mastiffs turned and rushed toward him. The Tibetan mastiffs could not bite Liu Xiaomao, which hurt their noses. They were furious.
He was having a fever, and just as Liu Ziguang came closer, he vented his anger on him.
How could the vicious dogs hurt Liu Ziguang? He raised his hands and bumped the heads of the two Tibetan mastiffs in the middle. The two huge dog heads collided with each other. The huge force caused the two Tibetan mastiffs to faint instantly and collapse to the ground.
"Kitten, come down, the dog you hate most is gone." Liu Ziguang smiled and waved to the roof.
Liu Maomao opened his eyes and glanced at Liu Ziguang. He stretched out and climbed up. He reached into the box and grabbed it. He wanted to grab another ice cream to eat. Unexpectedly, the box of ice cream had already turned into ice water in the sun.
.
Liu Maomao let out a scream, jumped down from the roof with the box in hand, placed the box of ice water in front of Liu Ziguang, and looked at him eagerly.
"Kitten likes this, right?" Liu Ziguang patted Liu Kitten's head kindly, turned around and shouted outside: "Come here, buy me all the ice cream in Confucius Temple."
