Chapter 242 The ship arrives at Jiangxin and regrets being late
In the room, Cuiyu opened her eyes and saw that Zhao Guanhou had woken up long ago and was looking at her. Her face turned slightly red, "Didn't you see enough last night?"
"Of course I can't see enough. Ice skin and jade bones are not so easy to see enough." Zhao Guanhou said, but his hands were no longer honest. Yang Cuiyu hurriedly dodged, "No... the rules in the courtyard. After a while, the sisters will come in to congratulate you and give me a gift for your brother-in-law. You should put on your clothes quickly, otherwise they can do everything. I don't want to be with them in these three days. After these few days, I will ignore what you do."
"Don't worry, after three days, I won't be with them, I just want to be with you." Zhao Guanhou said, put on his clothes, and personally took the clothes to help Cuiyu put them on. He then took out her dressing box, looked at her in a small mirror, and helped her comb her hair.
It didn't take long, and Jiu Ma brought three or four women to congratulate her, but in fact she asked for money. In the past three days, Fengyi class did not accept foreign customers, and all the expenses were subject to the groom's responsibility, which was a huge fee. Fortunately, Zhao Guanhou brought a lot of money and it was not difficult to pay.
When the women saw Cuiyu's eyes turned black and bloodshot, they knew that they had been 80% of the night last night and had not had much rest at all, so they could not help but smile. Seeing Zhao Guanhou's handsome young and handsome man with a lot of money, they couldn't help but secretly envious of Yang Cuiyu and found such a loving guest to comb the cage. He alone didn't know how much silver he could earn.
When the girls went out, Zhao Guanhou called Jiuma, "Jiuma, wait a moment, we have a deal."
Jiu Ma is also an old man. She knew what he meant at the first time, "Sir, we are not secretly talking about secret words. Do you want to redeem the jade? In other words, you two have feelings, so I can only be a beauty for human beings. However, our industry also has the rules of our industry. I have used a lot of money to cultivate jade. If you just left the cabinet, you will lose your capital. Like you, which family mother in the world will be stupid and cultivate the eldest girl? Since she left the cabinet, she has to go into the sea and work for me for three years before she can redeem herself. But since she has followed you, you can also take out some money and wrap her up. It's like an adult who keeps an outdoor room here. When you come, you will have to serve you. When you don't come, she will only play the piano, sing songs and chant poems with those old friends, and will never stay overnight."
Before Zhao Guanhou could speak, Cuiyu had already taken over the conversation. She pulled out a hairpin from her head and pointed at her shattered jade face. "Jiu Ma, do you think if I were making a cross here, would those old friends still ask me to recite poems and listen to music?"
Jiu Ma was stunned, "Daughter, what do you mean? Mom is also the rules in the industry for your own good, and she did not deliberately make things difficult for anyone. This is how everyone in our industry comes. Think about it with your conscience, how do I treat you? Even if you stay, as long as your heart is on your side, will I force you to do something that I am sorry to Lord Zhao?"
"Mom is nice to me, and my daughter knows it, so I want to repay you. If it weren't for this, I'd already scratched my face. I promise that if I made a cross, Guan Hou would draw more on your face. Of course I understand what you mean, but you don't understand what I mean. My daughter is already his person, and she wants to live with him and stop doing this business. In the past few years, I have made a lot of money for our Fengyi class. It's not good to be content in life. It's not good to be too greedy."
She sneered, "Mom, my daughter knows you so well and is very clear about our industry. How many of the so-called outdoor rooms that are kept outside will not accept other guests in the end? Although you love me, you love money even more. If you are a little, a man like Lan Gong, are willing to pay a high price, I am afraid that you will still be difficult for you to be a human being. I will not make you embarrassed, nor do I want to cause trouble last night, so you let me go and let yourself go
On the road, everyone is easy to talk to each other. Otherwise, if you ask a few brothers to talk to you, you will have to nod your head obediently. You are still thinking about doing business in the capital, and want to use me to apologize to Mr. Lan to continue to maintain this business. I advise you not to dream. Didn’t you hear that the guns and cannons outside stopped. Although I am not a military officer, I know that I will definitely not win if I fight with more than a dozen countries. When the foreigners enter the city, do you still want to do this business?"
Zhao Guanhou also said: "Jiu Ma, Cuiyu is very much talking about it. You will definitely not be able to do this business. I think it is because Cuiyu is looking for a place for you in Shandong, so I promise you to continue to do business. The first-class team can't do it, so you can do it for second and third grades. Now there are both rich people who flee from all over the country and foreigners who take refuge. They are very rich. Your business in Shandong is guaranteed to be more prosperous than in Beijing. As for Cuiyu's redeemable money..."
Before he could say it, Yang Cuiyu said, "Even if Lord Zhao has placed the fee for our Fengyi class, it would be fine to offset it in two seconds. Mom, you are a sensible person and are very good at calculating accounts. You should know that we have not taken advantage of you."
Although she is a popular girl, she actually has a sky-high price for one night when she is married, and the price will still drop in the future. The reason why she called 30,000 yesterday was that Wang Jixun made a fuss, and later Zhao Guanhou used it to support her. It was more than enough to redeem her with this money. It was just that the prostitute's family had always been greedy. Since Jiu Ma got 30,000, she wanted to knock out more, but Cuiyu called the mechanism out of the way.
After the money is knocked out, Cuiyu can be divided. In theory, it should be on Jiu Ma's side. Now he is deliberately protecting Zhao Guanhou, which shows that his conscience is firm. Jiu Ma is afraid that the soldiers outside will start to get angry and kill her, but she will not be unable to do it. She has to grit her teeth and say, "It's me that's my fool, it's me that's me that's right. Cuiyu is right. We will move this business to Shandong to do it, and the expenses on both sides will be offset."
When she left the room, she turned around and looked at her hatred and cursed in a low voice: "Shameless bitch, I just protected my little face one night. In a few years, he knocked out your private room and got tired of it. Don't come to me to cry at that time!"
When Jiu Ma left, Cui Yu came to coax Zhao Guanhou. The 30,000 silver amount yesterday was too shocking. She was only worried that Zhao Guanhou was greedy for military pay and temporarily charged the amount, taking out all her savings to offset them. She also wondered whether to discuss with Jiu Ma to get some back.
Zhao Guanhou shook his head, "Silly girl, since I gave it, how can I ask for it back? The money is a little more, but who made you marry yesterday? It should be for you to save face. With the one I made yesterday, I guess in the next few decades, all the eight great alleys will have your name, and you will be able to have a lot of money to wrap your head, how can you be faced?"
Cuiyu sat on his lap and shook her head, "I don't want face, as long as you... Guanhou, we will invite the Ten Princess later. I want to apologize to her in person. She can beat or scold her. In the future, she will always meet. I will say some things earlier, and it is better to say later."
Before they could invite him, Yu Qing had already arrived. Yesterday she arrived at Prince Qing's mansion and went to see Prince Qing again. The father and daughter had a secret talk. Prince Qing knew that his daughter understood her intention, and that Zhao Guanhou took good care of him, so he comforted her. Yu Qing urged his father to leave the capital quickly, but was rejected by Prince Qing.
In the afternoon of that day, the situation changed again, so the Ten Princess contacted a group of the Right Army to defend it until Yanzhi Hutong. The three of them met. Yang Cuiyu knelt down and offered tea without saying a word, and found a duster to hold it on his head, asking Ten Princess to punish him.
Yu Qing threw the feather duster away, "You, what a living treasure. How could I be jealous of you? If you want to eat it, you are also jealous of him!" As she spoke, she stretched out her slender jade finger and pointed at Zhao Guanhou, "You were originally my woman, but now he has taken it away. Do you think this vine duster should be used to beat him?"
The ten princess has some habit of having a double sword, and Zhao Guanhou also knew very well that he was not the idea of this era, so he naturally had no prejudice against this behavior. However, when Cuiyu heard this, she was so embarrassed that she dared not look up. She always felt ashamed that some secrets were exposed, and she felt ashamed.
Zhao Guanhou pulled her up and hugged her in his arms with the Ten Princess. "Since Yu Qing is not surprised, you don't have to worry about anything. Looking back, you two will accompany me..."
Before he finished speaking, Yu Qing hit a elbow on the ribs. "I think I can't do that kind of thing. I'm here to tell you that there are changes in Beijing. I'm afraid that your troops will drive out of Beijing."
In the Forbidden City, the shouts of killing last night, Ci Jia was uneasy and the two palaces were shocked. They immediately called King Qing and Han Rong to get up early this morning, and deliberately crossed King Duan, obviously excluding him. Ci Xi summoned the two, first asked about the situation of the attack of the Wuwei Army last night, and then discussed several things.
First, we sent a large number of fruits, fruits, rice and grain to the embassy, and even some ammunition to ensure that the embassy has no shortage of supplies and will not go hungry.
Second, two imperial edicts were issued. The first imperial edict was issued to Gangli Gangziliang, who led the Flying Tiger Regiment to besiege Beitang. "Now the soldiers besiege the Xishku Church. If there are religious people coming out, do not harm them. They should be ordered to protect them. If they do not defend themselves, they should make other plans and do not bombard them with guns and cannons." Since they are siege, they are not allowed to bombard them with guns and cannons. Obviously, they are not prepared to attack the church hard.
The second imperial edict was issued to the cabinet to issue an imperial edict, which was directed by all provinces to comply with it. "Because the Chinese and foreign chasms have not stopped, the businessmen and priests from all countries in China were not involved in military affairs, and ordered the governors to protect them as usual. Now, large troops in the near-gold are gathered, and all commanders of the various troops should also follow this idea. All foreign merchants should try to protect them, as the imperial court wants to be gentle and distant people."
In addition to protecting foreign merchants, religious people are also among the protections, because "the country is also a child, and there is no territory to be divided. However, since the start of the boxing sect, many religious people have occupied villages, dug trenches and build trenches and resisted the official army. These are rebellious and they must be investigated and dealt with strictly. The first thing they think is that they are forced to fear sins. If they can regret the disaster, they can still open their own side."
These two policies clearly show that the direction of the court has changed, and the Empress Dowager has changed from the previous tough stance to the Lord of the Confession. She also sent King Qing to negotiate with the embassy, hoping that the ministers of various countries could leave the capital. The court would send capable ministers to lead troops to protect and escort him to Tianjin.
Yu Cixi said that this was already a surrender and begging for mercy, hoping that the foreigners would nod and take a step back. The minister left the capital, and Dajin saved some face, and there were discussions on peace talks in the future. However, the Jin Dynasty's previous series of actions had already lost all its credibility, and all countries no longer trusted the Jin Dynasty. No one dared to leave the embassy, for fear that as soon as he left, he would be besieged and killed. Cixi's idea of seeking peace was shattered.
Next, he inspected the Yangtze River Navy Minister Li Bingheng from the southeast to Beijing to serve the king. He was from Fengtian Haicheng and was a county magistrate who donated the class and was known as the "first official". Later, when the Jin Dynasty and Cape were in the war, he was stationed in Longzhou to preside over the Western Transport Bureau. In the extremely difficult source of wages, he not only allowed the soldiers to eat enough, but also had injuries with medical treatment and medicine, which led to Feng Zicai's victory in Lang Son.
He inspected the Yangtze River as an imperial envoy, and was divided into two places at the right of the governors of Liangjiang, Huguang and other places. The telegram of mutual protection in Southeast was signed by him. He led the recruitment of two thousand new Hunan Yongs into Beijing to serve the king, which proved that the southeast was still the court, and mutual protection was not a self-establishment country, and the southeast was still the world of the great gold.
In addition to this joy, Shandong continued to serve the king and stopped the matter. The two battalions of soldiers were about to arrive in Beijing. Cixi was overjoyed and appointed Li Bingheng as the assistant to the military affairs of the Wuwei Army. He was considered Han Rong's deputy, and ordered him to control all the troops who served the king and go to Tianjin to resist foreign soldiers.
The two thousand Hunan soldiers recruited by Li Bingheng had not been completed in battle. Although they had supplemented their equipment, their actual combat effectiveness was not enough to rely on. The ones they relied on were the Right Army of Wuwei. In addition, Zhao Guanhou beat Chenglan, King Duan reported a book, saying that it would be strictly handled. According to the news that King Qing inquired, Cixi mostly wanted to order the generals of the artillery battalion and asked Zhao Guanhou to lead the two battalions of soldiers to resist the foreigners. However, the order was not issued for a while, and Li Bingheng's men rushed to rescue thousands of miles away and were scarce, so they needed to rest before they could set off.
After hearing the news, Yang Cuiyu said, "It's still me who harmed my benefactor. If I hadn't fought for me, why would I have to fight against foreigners with such a job? I must not respond to this job, but at worst... we will run away."
Yu Qing also said, "I'm here to deliver a letter to you, that's what Ama means. He wants you to prepare early and think of a way to turn off this errand. If you really can't push it away, you'll run away. In short, you can't fight this battle. Li Bingheng and your soldiers do not know the generals, and they don't know the soldiers. They gather together with each other and have never cooperated before. How could they win?"
