Chapter 7 The Peerless Shuangjiao (5)
Chapter 7: The Peerless Two Beauties (Five)
"Three days later, I will close Meixiang Tower?" Yang Lianying dragged her tired body down from the stage. She was about to take off her makeup, but she heard a news that caught her off guard.
"Why, didn't we live well in the capital?" Yang Lianying said in confusion.
"This is my godmother's idea. My godmother has been feeling chest tightness and uncomfortable recently. The doctor said that she was not suitable for the environment, so she discussed with your sister Xiangjun and decided to go back to Jiangnan and Suzhou. I want to hear your opinions?" Li Zhenli pretended to cough a few times and said slowly.
"Godmother, Sister Xiangjun, are you hiding something from me?" Yang Lianying is not a fool. When Li Xiangjun comes back, she locks herself in the house and doesn't perform on stage. She follows her godmother Li Zhenli and says she wants to end the Meixianglou in Beijing and return to Suzhou. If there is no connection here, I believe it!
"No, how could your godmother and your sister Xiangjun hide it from you? This is also for your sister's good. We came to find someone for your sister Xiangjun. We have been in the capital for more than three months, and our reputation as Meixianglou has also been made. If the person you are looking for is in the capital, you will come to meet you if you know. Now it seems that staying in the capital is not very meaningful. The capital is too complicated. For your future, it is better to go back to Suzhou." Li Zhenli had already thought about it and said.
"But I haven't had enough fun in the capital yet?" Yang Lianying said reluctantly. She has always been relatively obedient to Li Xiangjun and her godmother Li Zhenli's decision.
"Or, let's stay in the capital for a few more days. After Meixiang Building is closed, it's not too late for Xiang'er to play with Lianying's sister for a few days and leave!" Li Xiangjun felt a little sorry for Yang Lianying. She had sex in Suzhou, but she asked her godmother and her sister to accompany her to Beijing. Now she is going back again. She seems to have owed a lot, so she said.
"Okay, we will stay in the capital for two more days. Three days later, it will be the last time you will perform in the capital. I'm afraid there will be no chance to come again." Li Zhenli nodded and said.
"Thank you godmother, thank you sister!" Yang Lianying said happily.
"The status difference is too great, it is better not to see each other than to see him!" Li Xiangjun made a firm decision in her heart.
On the second day, except for a notice in front of Meixiang Building, it said that Meixiang Building would be closed in three days, and the guests who wanted to visit Meixiang Building were only three nights, and the outdated Meixiang Building was about to close.
Although the people in the capital were still immersed in the great joy of the victory of the Northern Expedition, this announcement from Meixianglou still set off a trend. First of all, the major brothels in the capital celebrated each other. Since Meixianglou entered the capital, their business has suddenly become much worse. Even if the women in Meixianglou do not sell themselves, they still attracted all the wealthy merchants who spend a lot of money on weekdays. Now that Meixianglou is about to close, are they still happy to celebrate?
Three days is not enough for Zhu Yinglong, who is busy with government affairs. He has been busy since the second day of his return to Beijing. First, the two consecutive days of the dynasty deal with the problems of post-Northern Expedition, and a large area of territory needs to be sent to accept the reorganization of the troops of various Mongolian troops, etc. After the Northern Expedition, the new Shenyang Military Region became the strongest and most powerful military region of the Ming Dynasty. If the reorganized and surrendered Eight Banners Han Army and the Korean army were counting, the troops in the Shenyang Military Region were increasing to more than 500,000. As sporadic battles were still going on, this number was still increasing. The Military Machine Pavilion has already proposed to split the Shenyang Military Region into
Two military regions, one in the south and one in the north, or one in the east and one in the west, but Zhu Yinglong tends to lay off a large number of Mongolian cavalry, leaving only the elite troops, and expanding the defense scope of the Beijing Military Region. The Shenyang Military Region has been streamlined to about 300,000 people. In addition to the Guanning Iron Cavalry of the two divisions and a Mongolian division, the other two Mongolian troops have been reduced to seven divisions. In this way, the cavalry of the Shenyang Military Region exceeds about 100,000, while the infantry is reorganized into the size of 18 divisions, and there are two artillery divisions. The engineering troops and the medical troops have a small number of special troops. The Shenyang Military Region is the largest military region, with a total strength of more than 300,000.
Although the Beijing Military Region did not fight any war during the Northern Expedition, it also grew stronger. About 60,000 people were reorganized into the Beijing Military Region, with a total force of 250,000, and belonged to the second group of the seven major military regions in the country.
After discussion and resolution, the Military Machine Pavilion, considering the actual situation, will not split the Chenyang Military Region for the time being, and also agreed to Zhu Yinglong's plan to streamline the reorganization, but considering that the Northern Expedition may not end until the first half of next year, the reorganization work is divided into two steps. The first step is now, because the weather is cold and the battle has basically subsided, and the old, weak, sick and disabled can be removed and settled. By the beginning of next spring, war will break out. There are not many large-scale wars, but small-scale wars will not be few. After all, some people are still unwilling to fail, especially in the Mao Wenlong army, which is still in the corner of North Korea. These people have expected that even if they surrender, they will not have a good end and will fight to the death. Therefore, no one can tell whether there will be any small variables on the Korean battlefield. However, Mao Wenlong's demise is a foregone conclusion, just to survive.
After finishing all these things, five days had passed without realizing it, so I had time to take a breath.
When the lights were on, Zhu Yinglong suddenly remembered the Meixiang Tower. When he thought about it, he had a whim and wanted to go and see it. He wanted to call Xu Ruying with him. After all, this sister also recognized her with her. But I thought that she had just recognized her casually. It has been ten years since then, and others may not recognize her. So, I should go and check it out first and don’t tell her first.
Since Long Yan was exposed five days ago, he had to pretend to go out this time and could not be recognized by others.
Taking the Shanghai brothers, a green sedan chair quietly left the Forbidden City.
"Your Majesty, just turn a corner ahead."
"Well, then go faster." Zhu Yinglong ordered while sitting in the sedan chair.
"Strange?" Xu Yingyuan suddenly muttered.
"What are you talking about?"
"No, no, young master!"
After turning the corner, Xu Yingyuan was stunned. The Meixiang Tower, which was originally like water and horses, was dark, with nowhere to be left, and the dark door was closed tightly.
"What's going on?" Xu Yingyuan stuttered in shock.
"Falling in the sedan chair!" Zhu Yinglong also felt something had happened, so he hurriedly ordered the sedan chairman to say.
"Young master, it's strange. There is no one in Meixianglou tonight?" Xu Yingyuan's face was a little pale, and he was still surprised.
"What's going on? Go and find someone to ask for it." Zhu Yinglong was much calmer than Xu Yingyuan and said hurriedly.
Xu Yingyuan hurriedly asked someone to inquire. After a while, he finally found out the news and ran over to report: "Young master, Meixiang Building suddenly closed down two days ago, and now it may be empty inside."
"Is there such a thing?" Zhu Yinglong also felt a little incredible. He heard Xu Yingyuan say that the business of Meixianglou is so good, so why did it suddenly close down? This is unreasonable!
"Xu Yingyuan, have you ever found out why Meixianglou closed down?"
"It seems that the boss of Meixianglou is not accustomed to the local conditions and is always sick and cannot continue to open, so he closed the door and returned to his hometown." Xu Yingyuan said nervously.
"I am not accommodating the local environment. Isn't this Meixiang Building open in the capital for three months? Why is it that I am not accommodating the local environment now?" Zhu Yinglong said in surprise.
"This, should the emperor let me..."
"If you have to use the Military Information Department for such a small matter, it would be too useless." Zhu Yinglong vetoed.
"Or why don't we go up and knock on the door and try it out. This Meixiang Building is for rent. The owner of this property may know some news."
"Okay, I won't know if I don't try it." Zhu Yinglong nodded in agreement.
"Bang bang..."
"Is there anyone inside? My young master heard that Meixiang Building was closed. He wanted to rent it and open a restaurant. He came here to take a look." Xu Yingyuan was also clever and wanted to find someone directly. Then no one would want to let strangers enter his house at this late night.
In the backyard of Meixianglou, Li Xiangjun, Yang Lianying and others were packing their luggage and preparing to leave the city and return to the south of the city tomorrow morning. Meixianglou has only been open for three months. At that time, they signed a one-year lease contract with the owner. Now they closed their business early, and the rent for half a year has been paid. Although this amount of money is nothing to Meixianglou, after all, paying the extra three months of rent is also a considerable amount. Therefore, Li Zhenli, who is very careful in calculating, wanted to find someone to take it over to reduce the loss. However, for a while, where did she find someone to take the lease, and she had to lose money.
Xu Yingyuan's shouting was a pillow for Li Zhenli to sleepy, but Li Zhenli is a veteran in the business world and has rich experience. If she can come to her at this time, it is very likely that she has other intentions.
The security in the capital is excellent, but it is also in a downtown area. Let’s see who comes first before making a decision. She is not the only one in the building anyway.
After calling for a while, the door was finally opened. An old lady opened the door. She looked at Zhu Yinglong and the others outside the door with alert eyes and said, "The door of Meixianglou is closed. Several guests are going to have fun and go to another place."
Following the customs of the countryside, Xu Yingyuan had learned how to lower his identity and smiled with a smile on his face: "This aunt, our young master, the two young masters, came from afar, but he didn't expect that when he got here, he realized that Meixiang Building had closed down. He just didn't know if the two young masters had left the capital. My young master wanted to meet him, so he asked the aunt to inform him that this was a little bit of Boyi. Auntie, please accept it!"
Seeing Xu Yingyuan's kind tone and the amount of money he handed over was quite heavy, the old mother was a little moved. Although there were many such generous benefactors before, compared to the people in front of him, they were not as good as the demeanor and attitude. Don't talk about this!
"I'm sorry, our two ladies have given instructions. Isn't this a difficult situation for me to be a servant?" The old mother was moved, but she didn't want to lose her job.
"Let's do this, please invite us in first. When you meet your boss, you will decide whether you can meet the two ladies?" Zhu Yinglong inserted it and said.
"Well, okay, how many of you are?" the old mother hesitated and asked.
"It's just the four of us." Xu Yingyuan hurriedly said.
Four people? The old mother felt relieved. Meixianglou also had her own guard. Otherwise, there would be so many women along the way, and they were all young and beautiful girls. Wouldn't it be a lot of trouble? Naturally, they would have raised a lot of guards.
As soon as the old mother opened the goalkeeper Zhu Yinglong and the other four came in, Li Zhenli came from the backyard. She didn't blame the old mother for putting the person in without authorization, but said, "Mom Chang, you go down first, I'll greet the four distinguished guests."
Chang's mother suddenly found that her wallet was still in her hands. She quickly covered her long sleeves, took a nervous look at Li Zhenli, and ran quickly backwards.
This little move can naturally be hidden from Li Zhenli's eyes, who is good at observing words and expressions. However, she turned a blind eye to such things, and this phenomenon cannot be prohibited.
"I just heard that a few people are willing to take down the beautiful house of the little girl?" Li Zhenli could not recognize Zhu Yinglong, but she also vaguely felt that the young man in front of her seemed to have seen him somewhere, and she couldn't remember it for a while.
"That's what we said, but our young boss originally wanted to meet two ladies and then talk about the transfer. Is it unknown?" Xu Yingyuan said.
"Is this transfer still related to my two little girls?" Li Zhenli already thought of Zhu Yinglong and the other four people as the name of taking over the transfer of Tan Meixianglou, and wanted to see Li Xiangjun and Yang Lianying's disciples.
