Under Bian Yujing's provocation, Li Xiangjun had to pretend to be a female crown, put on Taoist robes, and smeared a little dust on her face, preparing to enter the city.
"Pfft——"
Seeing her appearance, Bian Yujing couldn't help but smile sweetly: "Sister, you can take care of your head, how can you take care of other things? How can you have a crown with a white neck and a black face?"
As he said this, he touched his jade hands secretly, and said with envy, "Look at your jade neck, no wonder your singing voice is melodious and beautiful, it's all your talent!"
"I also envy you for your calligraphy and painting skills!"
Li Xiangjun glanced at his trembling place and couldn't help but feel proud.
The world loves petite and exquisite girls. If Bian Yujing were not outstandingly talented, it would be difficult to create a reputation.
"Sister, let me go with you!"
After all, Bian Yujing has a flying personality. He suddenly remembered that he had not been to Nanjing for a long time and couldn't help but wonder.
"It's fine for you and me to be together, but you have to cover up your towering position!"
Li Xiangjun glanced at her gourd-like figure and said with a smile.
"Humph!" Bian Yujing snorted dissatisfiedly, immediately went into the room, and walked out in the blink of an eye.
The original mountains turned into plains at this time.
"Can you come out breathless?"
Li Xiangjun said with a smile.
"Just wait!"
Bian Yujing didn't take it seriously and smeared the dirt on it.
After a while, two thin Taoist priests appeared in front of them.
Immediately, they looked at each other, smiled, supported each other, and left the nunnery.
Nanjing has a population of one million, a wide range of industries, and everything is complete. Rental car dealerships can be found everywhere.
For one tael of silver, the carriage can be used for two or three days.
The carriage drove slowly and soon arrived at the city gate.
What is surprising is that the entrance to the city, which used to be lined with long queues and bustling with people, is now extremely wide, allowing people to enter and exit freely.
"No money is required to enter the city!"
Bian Yujing said in surprise.
Li Xiangjun squinted his eyes and led Bian Yujing into the city quickly, saying at the same time: "Maybe it's King Yu's new policy, but it saves a few pennies."
The two of them opened the car window and opened their eyes as if they were country people entering the city.
The originally chaotic streets are now neat and orderly, as neat as tofu cut with a knife, which is pleasing to the eye.
On the ground, the dirty and dirty blue bricks showed their original appearance, clean and beautiful.
The wide street, with people coming and going, does not seem chaotic, it is very spacious.
The gangster Qingpi who used to be on the streets was gone, which made the two of them breathe a sigh of relief and feel more at ease.
"It would be great if King Yu's new policy can continue forever."
Bian Yujing opened his mouth slightly and sighed.
"It's just a trick played by the rulers."
Li Xiangjun was open-minded and said confidently: "Although there is a new atmosphere in the new dynasty, it will not last long."
Bian Yujing curled his lips: "I think you were too influenced by Nahou Lang and are full of complaints about the imperial court."
"I won't tell you anymore!"
Li Xiangjun rolled his eyes, Bian Yujing had never seen the real Nanjing except for the Qinhuai River.
Immediately, the carriage arrived at the inner city, Baoguo Duke's Mansion.
The Duke's Mansion, which was originally bustling with cars and horses, was now deserted and deserted, making the two of them suspect that they were in the wrong place.
"What's going on here?"
Bian Yujing said curiously: "According to common sense, when the Ming Dynasty comes back, Baoguo Gong should be reused."
"Political affairs are secretive, who can guess accurately?"
Li Xiangjun shook his head and came to the side door.
I saw many maids and servants crying, carrying packages, and going out one after another with reluctance on their faces.
"Sister, why is this?"
Bian Yujing, who had a cheerful temperament, got off the carriage and carried a maid, asking in a sweet voice.
"The Duke has been arrested, the people in the mansion are dispersed, and everyone is preparing to run away..."
The maid was startled when she was caught by the Taoist priest, and then she realized that it was a girl, and then she cried.
"Kou Baimen, is Mrs. Kou still there?"
Li Xiangjun was shocked and asked hurriedly.
"here I am!"
Bian Yujing smiled and stuffed a silver bean: "It's hard for my sister, could you please tell us?"
"I'll try!" The maid nodded and held the silver bean tightly.
"Just say that she was a former friend and Bian Yujing came to see her!"
Immediately, the two of them waited for a long time before they saw Kou Baimen Pingping, dressed in plain clothes and with a haggard face.
"Why are the two sisters here?"
Kou Baimen was surprised when he saw the two of them.
"This guy wants to see you for something!"
Bian Yujing gave up his position, and Li Xiangjun's beautiful eyes were full of embarrassment:
"Hou Lang hasn't seen any letters in the past few days, so he thought that my sister has great powers in Nanjing and could help me do some research."
"Hou Fangyu?"
When Kou Baimen saw the two sisters in public, he couldn't help but sigh: "You are infatuated."
"It's just that I can't help with this matter."
"Why is this?"
Li Xiangjun's heart trembled and he asked hurriedly.
"I'm afraid you don't know that a few days ago, the Jin Yiwei captured the civil and military minister who left the city that day and returned to the Manchu Qing Dynasty for treason. My husband was also imprisoned and there is no news yet."
Kou Baimen felt sad.
Thinking of being ostracized in the palace, and hearing rumors that his wife was going to sell off her property and drive away her concubines, she would soon be left alone.
No matter how chivalrous a woman is, what will she do if she has no support in this troubled world?
"As for Hou Fangyu, Mr. Hou was also arrested by the Jin Yiwei when he organized a gang in Fushe..."
Li Xiangjun was looking at him eagerly, and Kou Baimen wiped the corners of his eyes and said softly.
"How about sister being in the house?"
Li Xiangjun felt dizzy in an instant, while Bian Yujing supported him while caring about Kou Baimen:
"I'm afraid the Duke's Mansion may be in chaos!"
"Some people outside said that it would implicate their families, and some people ransacked their homes and wiped out their families. It was a mess..."
Kou Baimen's face was pale, and I felt pity for him.
"Then, the mansion is no longer safe."
Kou Baimen felt pity and couldn't help but suggest: "Why don't you follow us back to the nunnery and make plans? I think the court will not pursue a woman like us too much."
Kou Baimen was tempted.
Looking sideways, he saw that the maids and servants were running for their lives without restraint, and no one paid attention to her concubine.
So, with a sudden change of heart, he packed up his things, took his personal maid, and got into the carriage.
…
pier.
Several small and luxurious ships slowly docked at Jiangning Pier.
"Nanjing deserves to be the capital city, much better than Xi'an."
Shaanxi merchants, all well-dressed and with big bellies, stood on the deck and stared at the crowded dock, all of them in high spirits.
"This time, we Shaanxi merchants came to Nanjing to follow in the footsteps of King Yu, and we must win the first battle!"
He Zongcheng held his head high and said majesticly.
The Shaanxi merchants behind him were either the heads of the four major guilds of grain merchants, pig iron, salt, and tea, plus leaders of fur, timber, cotton and other industries. Almost all outstanding Shaanxi merchants came.
The minimum threshold is a net worth of one hundred thousand taels.
Arriving at the dock, He Zongcheng said excitedly: "Although this is a small step for us, it is a leap forward for Shaanxi businessmen."
