The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

It's the voice of lotus root.

Li Yuanqing can't help laughing. This little girl is so bold that she dare to check his post.

Nian'er was startled. He hid behind Li Yuanqing and said in horror: "master, yes, it's the voice of five ladies."

Although nianer is in her prime, she is not a little girl after all.

Of course, she could feel that, since she was promoted to Li Yuanqing's study girl, the fifth lady, who was also born in this position, began to have some mistakes by looking at her look, and often used to pick on her faults.

Nian'er is clearly aware of the five Madame lotus'er's identity.

The fifth lady is the maid of the second wife, Qu minqiu. Her father is Ma housekeeper, the Deputy administrative director of Changsheng island. In addition, she has known the master for many years and is deeply loved by Master Li Yuanqing.

Even if nian'er wants to argue with her, how can she have a chance now that she hasn't got a chance?

Li Yuanqing smiles, "read son, don't be afraid. it will be OK. You can hide in it for a while

Li Yuanqing said, pointing to the side of the shelf behind the dark grid.

In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, large and small dark lattices were set up in the study of the owners of large families, and they were known as "the Golden House hides the delicate.".

The craftsmen who built Li Yuanqing's homestead were all of Guangning's old craftsmen. In this respect, they could not escape from the common customs.

This design is basically similar to the rest room of the office of the boss and the president of later generations, but it is far less exquisite than that of later generations. It is only a very small space for temporary accommodation.

Dark grid, generally have a secret path, can be connected to the back door, the owner's little girl can leave at any time from the back door.

Nian'er takes a look at Li Yuanqing with gratitude and carefully drills into the dark lattice beside him.

Li Yuanqing then toward the door a smile, "Ye want to rest for a while can't, come in."

For a moment, lotus root, a pale pink dress, came to the house with big eyes looking at Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing's internal study can be entered at any time except for his wife Zhang yunniang and his second wife, Qu minqiu, to help Li Yuanqing clean up his things. For example, after the third lady's Caizi, including Wan'er and ou'er, they are not allowed to enter at will.

They want to come in, but they have to get the master, that is, Li Yuanqing's nod permission.

To a certain extent, this is also to open the embodiment of status.

Zhang yunniang has a letter to life in the body, is already a respectable second grade wife, Li Yuanqing's wife.

Although Qu minqiu didn't submit an edict, she had a son born and enjoyed the status of Li Yuanqing's wife. Li Yuanqing has made such a great contribution this time. It is not far away for Qu minqiu to declare her fate.

Of course, Zhang yunniang and Qu minqiu can get in and out of Li Yuanqing's study at any time, but that is when Li Yuanqing is not there. Even if Li Yuanqing is there, even if they are, they have to go through Li Yuanqing's permission before they can enter.

Therefore, even if Zhang yunniang and Qu minqiu want to catch Li Yuanqing's traitor in the internal study, it is impossible to do anything at all.

Lotus root son stares at Li Yuanqing to see for a while, forced to suck the delicate Yao nose, "I clearly smell the smell of other women, where did you hide her?"

As she said, she was going to look for it.

Li Yuanqing but with a smile took her into his arms, "my little five lady, I just came back, how can you get so angry?"

Lotus root son white Li Yuan Qing one eye, Jiao Di Di Di way: "master, where dare you have anger? How dare you be angry with your master? Maid Ah... "

But lotus root son has not finished, but suddenly a Jiaohu, Li Yuanqing has a hug her, hard kiss her pretty face.

Lotus root son pretty face instantly a blush, busy low voice spat a way: "quickly let go of me. This is the inner study. My Lord. "

Li Yuanqing said with a smile, "where does it matter? Anyway, it's my place. Little girl, are you going to do it? "

Li Yuanqing said that the gesture is to take off lotus root's clothes.

Lotus root son is greatly surprised, busy way: "master, really afraid of you. Yes, the first lady and the second lady asked me to call you. They've made sour plum soup, and it's just cool. "

Li Yuanqing nodded, suddenly a smile, whispered a few words in lotus root's ear.

Lotus root son pretty face more and more hair moisten, low voice spat a way: "is about to die. Today is the day for you to accompany your wife. "

Li Yuanqing chuckled and whispered in lotus root's ear: "you have so many seeds. Do you want a son? Hurry up if you want to. "

Lotus root's pretty face was so ruddy that it almost dripped out of the water. Suddenly, his little hand pinched Li Yuanqing's waist and spat in a low voice: "then you should hurry up. The first lady and the second lady are still waiting in the courtyard. "

Then he turned around and untied his clothes

Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing, and the indoor temperature rose rapidly

………

It was fast, but it was more than a quarter of an hour before the battle was over.

Lotus root son pretty face a piece of fainting red, delicate and gorgeous simply want to drop water, Jiao voice spat way: "really want to be killed by you."But she didn't dare to neglect. She helped Li Yuanqing clean up, dressed Li Yuanqing, and quickly sorted out her own clothes. She said, "master, let's hurry over. I'm afraid the first lady and the second lady can't wait

Li Yuanqing nodded with a smile. I'm just a little thirsty. Come on, let's have plum soup

Lotus root son can't help but white Li Yuanqing, busy holding Li Yuanqing's big hand, pulling Li Yuanqing, hurriedly toward the outside.

Li Yuanqing looked back at the bookshelf, but was facing a pair of bright big eyes.

But the big eyes, like a frightened rabbit, shrunk back.

Li Yuanqing smiles and strides ahead.

………

Come to Zhang yunniang's yard, Zhang yunniang and Qu minqiu have been waiting for a long time.

Under a gingko tree in the courtyard, on the exquisite stone table, there are all kinds of fresh fruits and a large pot of sour plum soup.

Li Dingbei and Erlang have already slept in the cradle under the tree not far away. Several servant girls are taking care of their two little ancestors.

Qu minqiu said with a smile, "didn't political affairs have been discussed for a long time? Why is the ink so long? "

Lotus root son pretty face suddenly a red, busy hang down the head, for fear that others will see the flaw.

Li Yuanqing a smile, "there are a few accounts not clear, just let lotus root help me calculate."

With that, Li Yuanqing sat on the main seat beside the stone table. Xiaolian and Xiaohe, the girls close to Zhang yunniang, rushed to Li Yuanqing with a fan and gently helped him fan.

The stone benches are covered with cushions and bamboo mats. It's very comfortable to sit on, and it won't touch people.

Zhang yunniang poured a cup of sour plum soup for Li Yuanqing with a smile. She handed it to Li Yuanqing and said with a smile, "brother, you just came back today. You should have a good rest first. I'll deal with it tomorrow. "

Li Yuanqing took a sip of sour plum soup, which was quite good. Just as sour and sweet were just right, he drank the sour plum soup in one breath, put the bowl on the stone table, and said with a smile, "it's OK. These days, I am very tired. Yun Niang, you ask the back chef to prepare some good dishes. Let's eat here in the evening. If you send someone over there, you won't get together tonight. By the way, Mincho, you stay. "

Zhang yunniang nodded with a smile, "I'm going to arrange it."

With that, she waved her hand to a maid and told her to get up.

Qu minqiu's pretty face is a red, secretly looked at Li Yuanqing, gently spat a mouthful, but big eyes, but full of joy.

According to Daming's practice, after the master returns home, he must accompany the wife of the main room for three days before he can go to the other concubines' rooms.

But Li Yuanqing is the master of Changsheng island. Zhang yunniang and Qu minqiu have known each other for many years and are very familiar with each other. Naturally, they dare not refute Li Yuanqing's meaning in this respect.

At the end of the day, in a well-off family, rules are rules.

But for Li Yuanqing's Changsheng Island, his words are the biggest rules.

Zhang yunniang's maid, who had been ordered, left quickly. She turned back with a smile and cut an apple for Li Yuanqing. "Brother, you haven't come back for so many days, but the island has changed a lot. Our business here is also quite good. "

After handing the apple to Li Yuanqing, Zhang yunniang sat beside Li Yuanqing with a smile and began to tell Li Yuanqing about their business situation on the island during these days.

Qu minqiu also occasionally inserted a few words as a supplement.

While eating the apple, Li Yuanqing is also a bit tongue tied.

He did not expect that in just over a year, Zhang yunniang and Qu minqiu had already recorded nearly 200000 liang of silver.

Well, it was beyond his imagination.

You know, it's only the children and their relatives under his command who really have the ability to consume.

Other people, although they have some income, but their income is really limited, Li Yuanqing is simply a little inconceivable.

200000 taels of silver, almost half of the rewards he has given to his children in recent years.

But at the same time, it also means that the money in the hands of the children is not much, and the process of the reward of the northern journey must also be accelerated.

With the explanation of Zhang yunniang and Li Yuanqing, Li Yuanqing also gradually understood.

Every family has its own red and white affairs. Moreover, it is inevitable for relatives and friends to visit, colleagues to get together, and to eat, drink and scatter on weekdays, and children's consumption.

Zhang yunniang said with a smile: "Yuanqing, if the reward goes on this time, the consumption capacity of Changsheng island will be further improved. Minqiu and I have discussed that it's not appropriate to buy wine from other places all the time. It's better to open a winery and make wine by ourselves. On the one hand, it can reduce costs, and on the other hand, it can save some money for children. "

Li Yuanqing nodded.

No matter at this time or later generations, tobacco and wine have always been profiteering.

Wine, in particular, is almost a necessity for Northland and Changsheng island.Only the money for wine purchased from the customs can account for 23% of the consumption of Changsheng island. The money spent is really unjust.

Although tobacco has begun to be popular in Daming, in Changsheng Island, due to various reasons, the inflow of tobacco is not much, and it is also an expensive luxury. Children do not have this habit.

Both tobacco and wine, in the initial stage of introduction, have a certain therapeutic effect.

For example, wine can drive cold and warm, smoke can refresh and wake up.

Li Yuanqing was not a stubborn Puritan. Wine was also an integral part of his life. What Zhang yunniang and Qu minqiu said was a good thing. Li Yuanqing thought for a moment and said, "in principle, I can agree to this matter. However, wine making requires a lot of food and some formula. What are you going to do in this regard? "

Qu minqiu said with a smile, "Yuanqing, this matter has been discussed with yunniang. We have already obtained the formula. As for grain, we will never use the military stocks on the island, but will purchase a large number of them from outside through external channels. If we do well, we can also sell to Liaoxi and Dongjiang to earn some extra money. "
