No matter what these people think, Gu Hengbo and Liu Rushi like the low-key nowadays and are unwilling to return to the former scenery. In the Qinhuai and Jiangnan, no matter how glorious Gu and Liu girls were, they were just women who welcomed and sent off. No matter how much they were valued by those literati, they were just high-end toys in the eyes of those literati.

Back then, they were goods, but they were bought and put together at some point. Now they are human beings, and they are the family of Shandong General Li Mengdi.

They were in the Li Mansion not because of their beauty and pleasing Li Meng, but because they were confidential and assisted Mu Yunyao in managing this intelligence system with the best efficiency in the world, and under the guidance of Liu Fulai, they conducted intelligence analysis and judgment.

In recent years in Shandong, Gu Hengbo and Liu Rushi, in modern terms, were Li Meng's confidential secretary. If compared with the Ming Dynasty, Gu Hengbo and Liu Rushi's status would be equivalent to eunuchs who were penned by the rituals and prisons in the rituals and supervision areas.

In such a job, these two former famous Qinhuai women felt that their lives were more valuable. They no longer rely on their appearance, figure, various skills, and true or false temperament to please men. Instead, they rely on their own minds to deal with documents and deserve their own status in this mansion.

With Lingshan Trading Company and Shandong Salt Gang, those people from the Shandong Salt Gang communicated through the screen and collected information. Although they could not see the other person's appearance, with Gu Hengbo and Liu Rushi's extensive knowledge, they naturally knew that the people who reported to them respectfully were all rich people outside.

If I were still in Qinhuai, I could only be flattered by such a rich man, and be careful and polite. But what happened today? If the inner tent was a little dissatisfied with the actions outside, Gu Hengbo and Liu Rushi would say something, and the people outside would be trembling.

Compared with this kind of identity and attitude, the two women naturally know what kind of life they should choose. On the Qinhuai River, I heard from the senior women that the best way out is to find a wealthy and kind family to be good. They will live their lives and are officially called Li Meng's concubine today, so what else is there to be dissatisfied with?

In the Li Mansion, the housekeeper Luo Xi wiped his sweat and ran around and was busy. Finally, there was a result. Not many people came to the ceremony of taking concubines. The Shandong Governor's Office, the Governor's Office, the Governor's Office, the Prefectural Office, the Prefectural Office, must have invited officials from all over the country. Zhou Yang's staff team, Ning Qiangui's inspection office, and Lingshan Commercial Bank also wanted to invite people, as well as the Bamin Commercial Bank, and Kong Sande in Jining.

The officers of Jinan Camp and the people selected by Li Meng also came. Laiwu is very close to Jinan, and Sun Hedou and Guo Dong can also rush back. There are also old military households in Lingshan and Aoshan Guards in the mainland of Jinan City. These people are the families of middle and senior officers in Jiaozhou Camp, not to mention the elders of Li Meng.

Luo Xi cried in her heart, but fortunately, Li Meng was unwilling to handle the second concubine too much. Several generals from various branches, the military farm system, the cabin transportation tax system, and the powerful families in Shandong were not notified.

Even so, the yard was still full of guests, so busy that Rossi didn't sleep much these days.

But Luo Xi was so busy that there were so many distinguished guests. This was the scenery of General Zhendong’s Mansion and the General Army Office. There were so many distinguished guests, and Luo Xi was always polite and smiling when he saw him.

What did I do back then? I was just a scoundrel who sold private salt. Who would have thought that today, the butler of the Grand Marshal and his relatives, what a governor's status is? Seeing him, he would nod his head with a smile. Tsk tsk, the smoke is coming from the ancestral grave!

Everyone in Shandong, no matter whether it is Li Meng's system or not, it is difficult for them to see a smile on Li Meng's face. Today they saw it.

The house in Li's mansion was a property of a wealthy family at that time. Now the whole family has been captured outside the pass. The house is quite large, and guests from all walks of life sit down according to their status. Everyone smiles and greets and chats. Everyone is always busy with their own affairs, and it is rare to get together like this.

But the exchanges between the people were all about Li Meng and Li Dashui standing in front of the hall. Li Dashui was not wearing armor, but the groom's clothes were worn.

It is not necessary to marry a concubine in a big way, and you cannot marry him in a day, or you cannot enter from the main door. When you enter the door, you must worship your wife. The identity of a concubine is similar to that of a slave. In some cases, it is equivalent to private property and has no personal rights.

But Li Meng made some changes, which gave these two women enough decent glory.

Li Meng, who was standing in front of the hall, had a little sore cheeks. Today, as the host, he would greet every guest who came to congratulate the wedding banquet with a smile.

For Li Meng, these polite etiquettes are much more tiring than participating in a battle, but they can't help but stand in front of the hall, waiting for the two girls Gu Hengbo and Liu Rushi to come in.

Although taking a concubine is a legal act, and people often praise it for being elegant, people in the world also have this view: If a true hero or hero is thinking about taking a concubine and indulging in beauty when his career is not achieved, this is considered to be an act of having no ambition.

With Li Meng's current development, it gives the world such an impression. That's disastrous, not to mention that Li Meng's subordinates are all characters who dare to speak out.

In fact, this time the concubine was taken by several confidants and consultants around him. Li Meng still remembered that it was the old eunuch Liu Fulai who proposed it first.

Moreover, Yan Ruoran and Mu Yunyao also agreed, and the reason was very simple. Yan Ruoran and Mu Yunyao always faced Gu Hengbo and Liu Rush day and night, dealing with the affairs of the inner house together, and handling the information summarized by various places in the inner house together, and getting along like this every day. The assistants are also the affairs of the inner house and confidential information.

The two women who do these things should have long been given a real name and have been included in the inner house. Such an nameless and unfair job is not a long-term thing.

Li Meng was also quite helpless. The reason why everyone advised him to take a concubine was not from a private perspective, but from a public perspective. Gu Hengbo and Liu Rushi were indeed stunning and smart and charming. Of course, Li Meng had no disgust towards these two girls, but was just driven by someone's righteousness, and always felt very strange.

Not only was it strange, but after confirming the consort, Sun Chuanting, who was famous in Duanfang, actually bowed and said congratulations:

"People at that time said that they must first settle the internal affairs before fighting foreign countries. Lord Li has now settled internal affairs. It can be done outside."

It's really funny.

But Gu Hengbo and Liu Rushi were included in the room by Li Meng, representing the completion of the last puzzle of the inner house group in Li Meng. Under the maintenance of the marriage relationship, the intelligence analysis and allocation system controlled by the inner account will be completely loyal to Li Meng and there will be no unstable factors.

The same old saying is that Li Meng is at this level and is doing such a big thing. He has no private matters at all. Everything is in the business of Jiaozhouying.

A noise in the courtyard interrupted Li Meng's thoughts. From the other side of the courtyard, several maids walked over, holding Gu Hengbo and Liu Rushi, who were covered with red veils.

Although the people sitting in the yard are all people with certain status and status, they are always reserved. However, they are completely relaxed on this occasion, and some people applaud and some people cheer. The atmosphere is extremely warm for a moment.

Li Meng turned his head and looked at Yan Ruoran and Mu Yunyao beside him, and then looked at the two girls who were being supported over there. Although they could not see the expressions of the two girls through the red veil.

But Li Meng felt that no matter the two women around him or the two girls walking opposite him, everyone was quite calm. Even Gu Hengbo and Liu Rushi treated this matter very calmly.

Because since the two of them entered the Li Mansion, today's ceremony was a natural thing to do.

When I arrived in front of Li Meng, there was no saying that couples would marry each other, especially for people with a noble status like Li Meng. According to the rules, Gu Hengbo and Liu Rushi bowed to Li Meng in full worship, and Li Meng only needed to reply half of the ceremony.

The official who sang the ceremony was a general, who had a good voice from giving orders and shouted loudly there...

Li Meng's half-hearted bow was just a slight bow. Looking at the two girls in front of him, Li Meng said in a gentle but firm voice:

"In this life, Li will never let you down."

When he finished speaking, Li Meng stood up slightly and smiled at Yan Ruoran and Mu Yunyao beside him.

Gu Hengbo and Liu Rushi heard it, Yan Ruoran and Mu Yunyao also heard it. This was Li Meng's guarantee to his wife and concubine. Although it was simple, it was unquestionable.

After participating in this concubine ceremony, Eunuch Xiao returned to the capital with the Jinyiwei who guarded him. Li Meng received the imperial edict to adjust the defense, but delayed the defense because he was sick and the soldiers were exhausted.

This reply and result gave the court enough face, but in fact there was no change. The civil servants who had great hope for this decree had no choice but to find a fact that they had no choice for the powerful local military leaders.

For merchants who need to transport goods on the canal, there are currently only two options: one is not to transport goods on the canal, and the other option is to pay the canal liquor.

I believe many people will know which one to choose from. All businessmen choose to pay the money obediently.

Although the government and the opposition were still full of attacks and insults against General Li Meng, Zhendong, he seemed powerless. The chief assistant Zhou Yanru seemed to know that it would be like this. He even wrote a letter to Li Meng in private, saying it was clear that he could draw money, just follow the rule of winning one in a hundred.

Most of the officials in the capital did this privately, and some even wrote letters to congratulate Li Meng on his concubine's joy.

The chief minister Zhou Yanru shrank his head, and everyone was expecting Chen Xinjia, the Minister of War who had provoked these things, to continue to do something, or to make a statement in front of Emperor Chongzhen.

But Chen Xinjia, the Minister of War, also fell silent and didn't know what he was busy with.
