As the Chinese New Year is approaching, Qianhusuo Fortress finally has a basic appearance. The craftsmen and laborers are also preparing to go home for the New Year. Wu Shigong bought some New Year's goods and distributed them to these craftsmen and laborers. The New Year's goods received by these craftsmen and laborers
Although it was not much, they were still very happy. Of course, those laborers who had been recruited as new soldiers would have more New Year goods.
Wu Shigong sent people to buy a large amount of pigs, sheep, poultry eggs, rice, flour, salt and oil in the town, and cut a large amount of firewood in the woods on the hills behind. He asked Chang Meng to help buy a large amount of fodder and store it for thousands of households.
In the fortress, prepare to spend this New Year well.
Due to the arrival of Wu Shigong and his entourage, the prosperity of this small town immediately rose to a higher level, and even one more brothel was opened. This was because Wu Shigong not only purchased a large amount of supplies in the town, but also distributed them to his own bodyguards.
and recruit Ding Jun's salary. These people have now become the main consumer force in the town.
But Wu Shigong didn't expect that his modern idea that soldiers had to pay for things would make the merchants and residents in the town look down on him.
In the eyes of the common people of the Ming Dynasty, if a combat-effective army only beat and scolded the common people and took things without paying them, that army could be considered to be highly disciplined.
Under normal circumstances, once the army has passed, the people will be as if they have been combed by a comb. Nothing will be left of their property, livestock, or even some beautiful young women.
However, in the Ming Dynasty, everyone from the princes of the court to the common people still only believed in this truth: only an army that performs in this way will have strong combat effectiveness.
And the "military-civilian relationship" that Wu Shigong showed is like this in the eyes of the merchants and residents in the small town: the soldiers in these thousand households are weak. Therefore, regardless of Wu Shigong's military power, the people in these small towns
The merchants and residents are not afraid of him at all.
If Wu Shigong knew their thoughts, I wonder what he would think? Maybe he would act aggressively a few times to take advantage of the merchants and residents of the town!
People like Wu Shigong who came from the capital had finally settled down in Qianhusuo until this time. However, as soon as people feel at ease, their colorful hearts are ready to stir up trouble.
After Yang Goudan arrived in the small town, he had money and gained some status. Therefore, his turbulent heart, which had been frozen for a long time in the capital, suddenly broke through the barrier and burst into flames. He turned to his
My wife proposed to marry a concubine.
After Yang Goudan's wife heard what Yang Goudan said, without saying a word, she picked up the rolling pin and beat Yang Goudan randomly. Seeing that the situation was not good, Yang Goudan ran away. Yang Goudan's wife was behind him.
Chasing and escaping all the way, Yang Goudan ran from the small town to Qianhusuo Fortress and came to Wu Shigong to seek refuge.
Seeing the panting Yang Goudan and his wife, Wu Shigong quickly asked Zhao Ruya and the others to bring Yang Goudan's wife to the inner house to comfort her.
Wu Shigong pulled Yang Goudan, who was full of shame, into an empty room, and said to him in an unyielding voice: "You have such an idea, and as a man, I understand you. But, why are you so stupid?
You clearly know your wife's temper, but you still want to talk to her about this kind of thing directly, it would be weird if you don't get beaten."
"Don't you know how to use your brain more? You don't want to keep women outside? You don't want to make women's belly bigger and make it a done deal? To be honest, I don't want to care about the mess in your family. Remember this for me:
No matter what happens to your family, you must ensure the production of firecrackers and the quality of the firecrackers."
"There is one more thing for me to remember clearly: Even after you marry a concubine, you must be good to your wife. If you let me know that a concubine has killed your wife in your home, let me see what I will do then.
Take care of you."
After listening to Wu Shigong's lesson, Yang Goudan nodded in agreement. However, Wu Shigong didn't really care about Yang Goudan's affairs. With the help of Zhao Ruya and other women, Wu Shigong finally comforted Yang Goudan's wife.
Already.
In fact, Wu Shigong himself felt a little guilty because before the Chinese New Year, Wu Shigong himself had to hold four weddings to marry Zhao Ruya, Li Xin, Xiuzhu and Zhuyun.
The weddings were being held one after another. Although Xue Yongli and the guards of the Xue Mansion did not say anything, the way they looked at Wu Shigong made Wu Shigong feel a little unnatural. Only the faces of Xue Yong and Xue Qiang
On the face, he showed an expression of "I have known for a long time that my uncle would be like this sooner or later."
Although these weddings were a bit simple and there were not many guests attending the weddings, when Wu Shigong was in the church, they were held according to the ceremony of marrying an equal wife.
Those guards in the Xue Mansion were basically rough people, and they didn’t know much about what kind of marriage ceremony Wu Shigong adopted. Those who did know were unwilling to tell them. Therefore, Wu Shigong’s marriage ceremony passed in such a vague way.
.
Of course, the four women were full of joy for Wu Shigong to adopt such a marriage ceremony. Even Zhu Yun, who was most likely to express objections, kept mumbling and made a fortune.
At the wedding with Zhao Ruya, Xiaojie finally kowtowed to Wu Shigong and called Wu Shigong "Dad", which made Wu Shigong very happy. He immediately gave Xiaojie a big red envelope.
During the bridal chamber after the wedding with Li Xin, Wu Shigong was surprised by Li Xin's lingering energy in bed. Wu Shigong didn't know: Li Xin had completely entrusted herself to Wu Shigong, and she just wanted to be with Wu Shigong.
Keep some favors in front of you to stabilize your position in the inner house.
The wedding and bridal chamber of Wu Shigong and Xiuzhu made the two of them feel like an old married couple. After having sex with Wu Shigong, Xiuzhu immediately fell down and fell asleep, without seeming to have any thoughts at all.
Instead, Wu Shigong accepted Xiuzhu, and the happiest person was Shumo. Now he can be said to have some kinship with his young master. In the future, won't Shumo's status in the world of young men be raised even higher?
On the other hand, during Wu Shigong and Zhu Yun's wedding and bridal chamber, Zhu Yun seemed very nervous. This made Wu Shigong a little confused. Didn't Zhu Yun always have an open attitude towards warming his own bed?
After repeatedly caressing Zhuyun, Zhuyun finally expressed her thoughts: firstly, she felt a little sorry for her young lady Xue Yufei; secondly, she was afraid that her tough behavior in safeguarding the young lady's rights would cause her to be ostracized in the inner house.
, and could not get Wu Shigong's favor.
Wu Shigong sighed in his heart: "Don't look at Zhuyun acting like a strong woman in normal times, but she is a woman after all, and she is still a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old."
Under Wu Shigong's sweet words and caress, Zhuyun soon relaxed her nervousness and curled up in Wu Shigong's arms like a kitten.
In front of these women, Wu Shigong acted like a big brother and the head of the family. Even in front of the guards and soldiers, he acted like a leader.
The guards and soldiers also acted as if they were taking it for granted. Although there was a reason for this because of Wu Shigong's identity, the main reason was: Wu Shigong's natural leadership qualities. Almost everyone had forgotten that.
, Wu Shigong is only eighteen years old, he is younger than almost everyone.
Finally, the day of New Year's Eve arrived. Before having the New Year's Eve dinner, Wu Shigong stood on the heights of Qianhusuo Fortress, looking at the snow-capped land in the distance, feeling filled with emotions.
Wu Shigong already knew the news of Wei Zhongxian's death. As for Wei Zhongxian, a notorious eunuch in history, it is not clear how much Wu Shigong had feelings for him. However, when he was in the capital, Wei Zhongxian did have feelings for Xue Lian and Wu Shigong.
Weng and his son-in-law took great care of them. Therefore, Wu Shigong could only silently wish Wei Zhongxian's soul in his heart: he hoped that his soul would be reincarnated as soon as possible. He would be a good man in his next life and never be an eunuch again.
Wu Shigong thought about his New Year's Eve last year again. What a peaceful and joyful New Year's Eve it was! However, this year, Wu Shigong basically spent it anxious, racking his brains to leave the capital and busy.
Wu Shigong has already made some preparations at Qianhu Institute. However, Wu Shigong knows that his preparations are far from enough. Because next year will be the first year of Chongzhen.
Wu Shigong made up his mind: he must try his best to save his family, friends and partners around him in the troubled times of the Chongzhen period.
But Wu Shigong didn't know that starting from the first year of Chongzhen, Wu Shigong's history of hard struggle and conquest was about to begin. He would endure many hardships and lose many partners. And because of his struggle, he also had to fight with Wu Shigong.
The most outstanding heroes of that time collided together.
That is to say, starting from the first year of Chongzhen, Wu Shigong really stepped onto the crazy stage of the late Ming Dynasty.
