Chapter 594 Female cottage owner
Chapter 594 Female Copycat Master
In the first lunar month, heavy snow is still there and the north wind is flying.
Although Hedong County, which is not far from the south, is fiercely fighting, there is no tension in the neighboring Wenxi County of Jiangjun. Not only that, the small county town is more lively than before the New Year. In the small county town, there are pedestrians coming and going on the streets. Several restaurants and inns in the city are even more crowded, and the merchants and owners in the city are all smiling happily.
Sihai Restaurant, the largest restaurant in the east of the city, is even more crowded, and the two-story restaurants are filled with guests. On such a heavy snowy day, sitting in a warm restaurant, drinking wine while enjoying the snow scenery is also a beautiful thing.
"Miss, just this one, this one looks good."
In front of the Sihai Restaurant, a strong man in his thirties said to a young man dressed in a handsome scholar.
Although the woman dressed up as a man, as long as she had some eyesight, she could tell at a glance that this was a beautiful girl. The lady frowned. A young follower who was also snatching men's clothes behind her said to the man with dissatisfaction, "Didn't you agree to die before coming, you have to call him a young master after coming out, or you have to call him a young master. Don't call him a young lady, why did you forget it after such a little effort?"
The man named Sanbao smiled honestly, "Yes, Xiaoyi is right, young master, let's go to this house."
The young lady nodded and several people walked towards the restaurant.
A waiter in front of the restaurant stopped them with a sorry expression and said, "These masters are really sorry. The shop is full and there are no empty spaces. Otherwise, what if you change to other families?"
The young lady frowned and was ready to turn around and leave helplessly.
But suddenly I heard some chatting words from customers coming upstairs. Although they were a little far away and could not be heard very clearly, I still heard things like Chen Pojun, Li Yuan, Yang Ming, and other things like Puban, Li Shimin, and Yuwen Chengdu. My face became solemn.
He reached out to take out a purse, threw out two gold coins and gave it to the waiter, and walked into the restaurant, "Find a few places for us, the money will be yours."
The waiter was a little unhappy and wanted to stop someone, but when he saw two golden coins, he showed an extremely bright smile on his face, "Please, please wait a moment, and the younger one will arrange seats for the masters immediately."
The young lady pointed to the position by the window and said, "Arrang that position for me."
The waiter looked at the guests at the table with some embarrassment, "Those guests were just starting out, I'm afraid they are not suitable."
The young lady threw out two more gold coins on the table. The waiter immediately picked up the money happily and ran to change the table with a smile. After a while, he made it easy to say that he promised to give two pots of good wine for free, and the guests reluctantly agreed to change the seat.
The young lady sent the waiter away and listened to the chatting of the guests next door. The guests looked like businessmen walking around the country, drinking wine while chatting about the war in Hedong County next door. These businessmen were well-informed, and with some rumors, they were also very happy.
"I heard that Chen Pojun from Hebei has left Beijing City and led his troops south. I heard that this time he brought 200,000 elite Liaodong Army soldiers and headed south all the way south, as if he was going to Jiangdu."
Another waved, "Nonsense, I heard that Chen Pojun brought 300,000 barbarians outside the border this time, and 200,000 Liaodong elites. I heard that he had also transferred 100,000 soldiers from Shandong Li Jing, 100,000 soldiers from the Liaodong Navy, and 300,000 elite soldiers from Luo Yi and the Xue family uncle and nephew, a total of one million troops. Do you know who he was going to fight for such a million soldiers?" The man was halfway through, but he deliberately raised his appetite and kept him in a silence.
"I know, I know." A young man said repeatedly, "I heard from my uncle last time that Li Yuan had surrendered to Chen Pojun last year and praised his daughter for being resigned to Chen Kefu. He also said that Chen Pojun did not send a large army into Hedong, but only sent Wang Rengong to pick up the third lady of the Li family with 5,000 people. But when Wang Rengong arrived, the Li family refused to pay the debt. Chen Pojun was so angry that Wang Rengong contacted Liu Wuzhou, Yao Junsu and others to seize the counties of Yanmen and Mayi. This time, Chen Pojun launched a million troops, and must have gone to fight Li Yuan, preparing to take back the third lady of the Li family."
"There is some truth. Li Yuan has been fighting with Yang Ming in Longmen for nearly a month recently, and probably can't hold on anymore. At this time, Chen Pojun went to seek revenge on Li Yuan, which is a good opportunity."
The young lady at the next table frowned when she heard this, and Xiaoyi said quietly, "Miss, they are talking about you, Miss, whether to come forward to teach them a lesson."
"Don't do anything randomly, sit quietly." The young lady is Li Xiuning, who has been missing for half a year.
Although her engagement with Chen Kefu was also a first-hand arrangement by her father, some of them were still a marriage that considered the interests of the family. However, Chen Kefu was very fond of her, especially Chen Kefu's strong rise in Liaodong made her feel that she had a keen eye for people and had chosen a great hero.
The wedding in Luoyang was the happiest moment of her life. At that time, she thought that she might have to be so happy for the rest of her life. She married Chen Kefu, whom she liked to admire, took care of her husband and children, and loved each other for a happy life.
But sometimes, happiness comes quickly and goes quickly.
When Chen Kefu told her on the wedding night of the newlyweds that the emperor wanted to kill him and that he would go back to Liaodong overnight, she did not hesitate at all and fled on the wedding night. She thought that she would wander around the world with Chen Kefu from then on, but she did not expect that by the Luoshui River, her younger brother Shimin and his elder brother Jiancheng, she brought many cousins of the Li family to ambush her newlywed husband, one was her husband who had just been worshipped, and the other was her relatives with her parents' family who were thicker than water.
What kind of pain is that?
When she saw her fourth brother Yuan Ji stabbed her husband with a spear and saw her second brother Shimin shooting her husband with an arrow with a cold and ruthless look, her world collapsed. She didn't remember how she was brought back to her Luoyang home later. For that long period of time, she felt that her soul was lost, like a walking corpse.
Later, she heard the news that her husband was still alive again, which made her regain a little bit of vitality. But not long after, her father received the imperial edict from the emperor to abolish himself and her husband. Later, her father actually wanted to marry Yang Hung by himself. Even in Taiyuan, he ignored his own feelings and forced himself to send himself into the palace.
There is nothing greater than the death of the heart.
The moment she entered Jinyang Palace, she finally realized that she was just a chess piece in the hands of her father and brothers, used to exchange interests for the family.
On a chaotic night in Taiyuan, she was so worried that she left Taiyuan in the chaos. She followed the riots all the way south and finally arrived in Jiang County. In Zijin Mountain in Wenxi County, she and her personal maid Xiaoyi, Ma Tong and Ma Sanbao, who went south, and several companions she met on the way were intercepted by a group of bandits on Zijin Mountain. The other party wanted to kill and rob. Li Xiuning and Ma Sanbao fought to the death with their companions, but in the end they killed the young bandits.
Most of the people who went south together were either forced recruits from Taiyuan or some displaced people. In the end, everyone simply repaired the bandit's village and left it in the mountains, which was considered free. Because Li Xiuning performed outstandingly and brought more than ten men like Ma Sanbao around him, she finally followed her as the leader of the village and established a village name Niang's village.
Since Li Xiuning became the leader of the village, Li Xiuning has practiced more military books and battle strategies based on the military books and battle strategies that he had read before, and recruited a lot of people. Niangzi Village did not rob ordinary people, but specifically robbed the wealthy and benevolent families in nearby counties and towns. In the past six months, Niangzi Village, where rabbits do not eat grass by their nests, was extremely mysterious. Everyone nearby knew such a powerful and mysterious force, but no one knew where their nest was. They only knew that they came and went like the wind and were elusive.
This time, Li Xiuning took Ma Sanbao out, one was going out to walk on the plate and passed by Wenxi County. The other was that Li Xiuning faintly heard that his father and brothers were going to war with Yang Ming in nearby Hedong County, and finally couldn't help but want to come and ask for a while.
At this moment, I suddenly heard that my father had wanted to send him to his husband in Hebei before the New Year, and his heart was extremely complicated. Although I knew that most of these businessmen were talking nonsense and had few words in their words, I still felt a little happy. Especially when I heard that Pojun sent 5,000 people to Hedong to welcome him back, he couldn't help but feel so moist.
Although his father asked the emperor for the imperial edict to abolish his marriage with Pojun, Li Xiuning's heart did not change at all. The woman ended up being the first. Since she was married to the Ming matchmaker of Pojun, the three matchmakers of Pojun, six literati, as long as Pojun gave him a divorce letter, she would have always been his wife. Even though she had heard of it, he later married Princess Izumo and established the woman from the Changsun family as her wife the next few years ago, but her intentions would not change.
When he left Taiyuan before, he thought about finding Chen Pojun. At that time, she only knew that he was still in Liaodong, but not that he was in Hebei. When she learned that he was in Hebei, she heard that he was going to marry a princess, and later, she married the lady of the Changsun family. Although she still thought about him in her heart, she could not rush to Hebei to meet like that.
Sitting in this restaurant, Li Xiuning once again heard the name he had been thinking about day and night, which made Li Xiuning fascinated. Thinking that at this moment, he had already gone south, and was just a Taihang Mountain separated from him, and it was only a journey of hundreds of miles. His heart couldn't help but feel ups and downs. He couldn't help myself, and she had never been so impressed. She was so looking forward to seeing him immediately.
ps: Brothers, I need everyone to support me and give Muzi some motivation...
