The spring rain was pouring, and there was no need to go out to enjoy the scenery when it rained. Li Minglou sat in front of the window, with the bamboo curtain rolled up, leaning his chin on his hand to watch the rain hitting the banana trees, seeming to be fascinated and lost in thought.
Yuanji put away his umbrella in the corridor, and the child took it and held it with both hands.
"Where is Mr. Lian?" Yuanji asked without entering.
The child pointed to the courtyard.
The Yangzhou Dao Yamen is much larger than the Guangzhou Fu Yamen, and the pavilions and pavilions in the back Yamen are small and exquisite. At this time, there is a man standing on the small bridge wearing an amber shirt and a lotus hat, looking like a rain fairy.
When Li Minglou looked out from the window, the scenery was beautiful and the people were picturesque.
Yuanji couldn't see the beautiful scenery, but saw other meanings, and asked the child: "Madam, is she in a bad mood?"
It's not a bad thing, even Xiaojun didn't joke and play to make her happy, but stayed with her quietly outside.
The boy shook his head: "There's nothing wrong with it, Madam is thinking about something."
The young lady often thinks about things, and sometimes she doesn't even tell him what she thinks about. It's not just because she's in a bad mood. Yuanji gestures to the child, and the child looks in and calls out: "Madam, Master Yuan is here."
Li Minglou looked away from Basho and watched Yuanji walk in.
"Master Yu said that money is still a big problem." Yuan Ji did not ask her what she was thinking, and put down the account book written by Yu Qian, "Weapons and armor are too expensive."
Li Minglou looked at the account book and sighed. She never thought that she would have to worry about money in her life.
Huainan Road was recovered, and the guards' warehouses and weapons battalions were obtained. However, because there had been no war in Daxia for a long time, the weapons and armor in the warehouses were abandoned. In addition, the guards turned into rebels, and a large number of new soldiers were recruited. The battles continued, and the weapons
Armor costs a lot of money.
No, it should be said that Li Minglou is not worried about money, but Mrs. Chu Guo is.
The warehouses in Jiannan Road are well prepared, and the iron ore in Jiannan Road is also sufficient, but Han Xu alone cannot supply her with enough.
When a woman cries and makes trouble based on friendship, a man will be willing to give some gold, silver, food and grass, but when it comes to large-scale war preparations of money and iron, especially now, these things that are equivalent to wealth and life, most men will be wary of, let alone Han Xu.
kind of man.
Not to mention men, as a woman, she and Wu Ya'er could pretend to be a loving couple in the past, but when it came to soldiers and horses, they were not immediately merciless.
Now...
Li Minglou pinched his fingers. It was not impossible to support him with soldiers and horses, but he still had to consider it.
Yuan Ji looked at Li Minglou. Was the lady thinking about money, or was she distracted again?
He coughed lightly and said, "If that doesn't work, let the young master deliver it directly. Anyway, the outside world will think it is Han Xu's handiwork and will not guess the lady's true identity."
As for Han Xu's doubts, it doesn't matter. He is alone in the hands of the young master. After working so hard, it is natural that he cannot see anyone to recuperate when he is tired and sick. Does anyone dare to come to Jiannan Road to visit?
Li Minglou smiled and shook his head: "Master Han does other things very well, so there is no need to treat him like this for the time being."
So how to solve this matter?
"One Han Xu is not enough, but now I have more than one Han Xu." Li Minglou looked out the window, smiled slightly, and shouted, "Xiaojun."
Lian Xiaojun, who was standing on the small bridge, turned his head and smiled slightly, and the rain and fog receded.
.....
.....
The rain didn't stop until the evening. Lian Xiaoqiang sat on the porch with the eaten dishes in front of her, patting her belly and letting out a long sigh.
Lian Xiaojun walked in from outside and heard it, and asked: "Why are you sighing? Is someone bullying you?"
Lian Xiaoqiang didn't bother to answer, and asked nervously: "Who wants to bully me?"
Although she lives in Huainan Road, where everyone feels at ease, and next to Mrs. Chu, a fairy who descended from heaven, Lian Xiaoqiang has always been very nervous. There is no stable place in these troubled times. There are monsters and monsters everywhere. Mrs. Chu...
.is no exception.
Lian Xiaojun said: "People who are jealous of me, they don't dare or are unwilling to bully me, so they probably can only bully you to vent their anger."
Talking nonsense again, Lian Xiaoqiang sighed, her nervousness dissipated and she sat down again: "It's such a boring life."
Lian Xiaojun patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You want to do business, let's go, we will set off now."
Lian Xiaoqiang frowned: "You have done so much business in exchange for such a short period of favor? Are you going to be kicked out to work as a cow and horse again?" Looking at Lian Xiaojun, "For the first time, I think you are really tall.
No matter how bad it is, Mrs. Chu Guo is really not moved at all and has no pity at all."
Lian Xiaojun laughed, sat down next to him, and leaned against the pillars to look at the exquisite courtyard: "You are wrong. This time it is not me who has fallen out of favor, but Han Xu who has fallen out of favor."
Han Xu? Lian Xiaoqiang was confused and sat up excitedly: "Why don't you tell me quickly?"
"Madam asked me to do business with Han Xu." Lian Xiaojun said, smiling slightly, "Treat Han Xu as business."
Lian Xiaoqiang was disappointed and curled her lips: "That's not a loss of favor. In the eyes of Mrs. Chu, you have always been a business."
"Everything is business," Lian Xiaojun said, "Han Xu is no exception."
Han Xu is no more unique than him.
Just then Mrs. Chu asked him if he knew about her and Han Xu. He said that he knew that Mrs. Han and Mr. Han fought against the rebels together and were close friends in life and death.
Mrs. Chu said: "I rescued him with thousands of troops and sent people to pay him to escort him because I knew that he would definitely achieve great things. If I rescue him today and help him, he will definitely be able to protect me in the future. I didn't expect that he would be able to do great things."
Now we need his help, but he is not willing."
Lian Xiaojun nodded in agreement, there was nothing wrong with Mrs. Chu's approach and ideas.
Just like how many wives treat their husbands, if they have money, they will provide money, and if they have no money, the virtuous and virtuous people will settle down and support the house, and let their husbands find feudal lords and build careers. Why, of course, it is for the honor of the husband and the honor of the wife.
It's just business.
It is natural and reasonable to give something in exchange for reward. If the exchange of life and death is not done with sincerity and sincerity, and if the favors given cannot be exchanged for benefits, then the business is a failure.
The wife had ruined her business, so she needed him to recover the losses. Of course, this meant that Han Xu had fallen out of favor, and he had gained favor.
Lian Xiaoqiang felt that this seemed to be the right thing to say, but there was something wrong with it. He scratched his head and simply forgot about other people's matters. He asked what related to himself: "What did the madam ask you to do?"
When he said this, Ma Jiang's head seemed to be spinning in front of his eyes, and it sent chills down his spine.
Ma Jiang is a rebel after all, and Han Xu is a court minister!
Lian Xiaojun said: "Don't worry, Madam doesn't want Han Xu's head. If he doesn't give me what Madam wants, Madam will ask me to do business with him and buy it."
Lian Xiaoqiang breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, business is good, business is good." She touched the wine on the table, brought it to her mouth, and thought of something and asked, "What do you want from Madam and Han Xu?"
Lian Xiaojun stroked his clothes and said, "It's just half of Jiannan Road."
Lian Xiaoqiang squirted out a mouthful of wine.
Half, Jiannan Road, just pay it back?
...
...
"Are you crazy!" Lian Xiaoqiang chased into the room and grabbed Lian Xiaojun, "No, you have always been crazy! Do you know what you are doing?"
Lian Xiaojun shook him off, unbuttoned his clothes, and took out his luggage: "Of course I know."
Mrs. Chu said that Han Xu was unreliable and that Han Xu was too stingy. Without her, Han Xu would not be in control of Jiannan Road now. As a result, Han Xu refused to share Jiannan Road with her.
Mrs. Chu Guo looked at him, Xiaojun, you know the real situation on Huainan Road, you know how difficult my life is now, and you also know what I lack now, so go to Han Xu and Jiannan Road to move what I need.
return.
Mrs. Chu held his hand. The next life and death of Huainan Road, my life and death, my prosperity and wealth, all depend on you.
"Damn you." Lian Xiaoqiang jumped to her feet, "This is using you."
Lian Xiaojun threw off his robe, how great it is, now he can use his face and talents, he is really proud of his life.
"Proud? You are going to die." Lian Xiaoqiang grabbed Lian Xiaojun's robe and prevented him from wearing it, "This is Jiannan Road, this is Jiannan Road!"
For the Lian family, Jiannan Road is a place of death!
"Our Lian clan fell into pieces today, all because of Jiannan Road."
"When we enter Jiannan Road, we are throwing ourselves into a trap. How can we do business and empty Jiannan Road?"
"You can do business and negotiate with other people, even rebels, but Jiannan Road and our Lian family are enemies!"
Hearing this, Lian Xiaojun rolled up his robe. Lian Xiaoqiang was brought over by him and saw Lian Xiaojun's shining eyes.
"Brother Xiaoqiang, it is precisely because it is Jiannan Road that we have to go." He said, looking at Lian Xiaoqiang, "Don't you want to take revenge?"
Lian Xiaoqiang was startled, revenge?
"Jiannan Road is no longer the former Jiannan Road." Lian Xiaojun said, "Li Fengan is dead, the young master is in power, Han Xu is hegemonic, the world is chaotic and disorderly, and a beast falls to the ground."
He swung his robe again, throwing Lian Xiaoqiang away, and the gorgeous clothes flew up as he spun around, like colorful clouds.
Lian Xiaojun put the colorful clouds on his body, and his face shone with light.
