Yan Yingyuan groaned and looked at the bed, right? There was a woman lying next to him, why didn't he notice it just now? Yan Yingyuan asked Xiao Lizi to step back and carefully looked at the sleeping woman. This woman was not the one he saw last night, but she was younger and more beautiful than that one, with curved eyebrows, long eyelashes, and a small, diamond-shaped nose. Mouth is really a very delicate and beautiful girl.
Yan Yingyuan saw the girl's eyelids moving slightly and knew that she had woken up. "What's your name? Did Chen Wanqing ask you to come?" Yan Yingyuan felt a little unhappy in his heart. Although Yan Yingyuan didn't say anything, it was due to his character, but it really involved He is very calm in these aspects!
When the girl heard what Yan Yingyuan said, she had no choice but to open her eyes, "I am his sister!" When the girl opened her eyes, it was like the finishing touch, adding even more beauty.
"Sister?" Yan Yingyuan was stunned, and then thought that this girl was only sixteen or seventeen years old. She was definitely not Chen Wanqing's sister. She seemed to be a tool for Chen Wanqing to establish a relationship with him. The name of sister was just a nice word, but this girl was She looked exactly like a woman he had been longing for. Could it be that Chen Wanqing was looking at someone else's dishevel?
Yan Yingyuan is thinking about it! Xiao Lizi announced outside that Chen Wanqing was visiting. Yan Yingyuan smiled in his heart, what a businessman! It was coming so soon. He looked at the girl and said, "I don't know your name yet! Let's do this! If you can get up, go to the inner house to see the old lady!" Yan Yingyuan knew that Chen Wanqing didn't dare to send a bad person. Give it to yourself, a woman. Since you have ruined someone else's innocence, you can't pretend to be confused! Yan Yingyuan held his breath and went out to see Chen Wanqing.
Since Chen Wanqing got in touch with Emperor Hongguang a few years ago, his business has grown bigger and bigger, and he has been involved in more and more industries. He has become a famous big businessman in the Huaihe River area. He is also much fatter than before, and he is full of fat.
When Chen Wanqing saw Yan Yingyuan coming out, he smiled slightly and said, "Master Yan passed the test yesterday, so you shouldn't have to give Chen such a look!" As soon as Chen Wanqing saw Yan Yingyuan's stern face, he knew that Yan Yingyuan had misunderstood.
Yan Yingyuan hummed in agreement, "Shopkeeper Chen, you are really harmful to people! Tell me! You are scheming against me, what do you want me to do for you?" Yan Yingyuan was born as an official, and he had never studied for a few days. To put it bluntly, he is no different from a farmer. His promotion to the main hall of the Ministry of Justice and the official position in the border areas are inseparable from his own intelligence. Of course, he met Emperor Hongguang, otherwise he might still be the director of public security in a small county!
Chen Wanqing laughed, "Master Yan, you really look down on me! I was just an adult beauty yesterday. It's not that Chen is bluffing you. Qiao Xuerong is indeed Chen's cousin. To say this, we have to go back five years ago. , when your Excellency was the prefect of Yingtian Mansion, did you ever resolve a case, that is, the famous unjust imprisonment of Boss Qiao outside the Qinhuai River. This Qiao Xuerong is the daughter of my two aunts and uncles, Boss Qiao. Lord Yan is worthy of the name of Qingtian, so unjust It¡¯s not easy to get vindication for all the cases! It¡¯s a pity that my brother¡¯s family was ruined because of that case, leaving only this daughter. This child is also very strong. She swore an oath in front of her parents¡¯ graves back then. If anyone can vindicate her family's case, she will not hesitate to be a slave. Master Yan, do you still remember that after you put an end to Boss Qiao's injustice, a little girl went to your house and volunteered to be a slave, but she was killed by you? I politely declined, and that little girl is today¡¯s Qiao Xuerong!¡±
After Chen Wanqing mentioned this, Yan Yingyuan really had an impression. Because of Boss Qiao's unjust case, he didn't sleep well for a month. He remembered that the emperor also gave him a lot of rewards because of that case. By the way, there was a little girl who was looking for him. He must be only eleven or twelve years old! There is still runny nose on his face! Could it be the person I was sleeping with just now? If so, there¡¯s really nowhere to look at, what a girl¡¯s transformation!
Chen Wanqing sighed, "This child is a master of death. After being driven away by you, he came to me. As he grew up, he became more and more graceful. But whenever I mentioned marriage to her, she would shirk it in every possible way. Who knew that I met her last night? When it came to your lord, she told the whole story, and I thought that I should be the matchmaker! It happened that your lord was drunk, so it became a good thing. Your lord misunderstood me a lot!"
Yan Yingyuan really didn't expect that there was such a hidden secret in it, "I'll give you a reason first, but you should also discuss it with me beforehand! This thing is so bad. Although my family members are not here, my mother is still here." Oh! I was the one who objected to her repaying her kindness like that back then. It's great that she has come around in a big circle." If Yan Yingyuan hadn't touched a woman for such a long time, how could he have gotten along with Qiao Xuerong!
Yan Yingyuan and Chen Wanqing are talking! Xiao Lizi led the two soldiers to the main hall in a hurry, "Master, there is an urgent document from Marshal Li ahead." Xiao Lizi said and led the two soldiers closer.
When Yan Yingyuan heard that it was the military report sent by Li Dingguo, he quickly opened it and read it. After reading it, his eyebrows were twisted together, and he walked back and forth in the living room with the letter in his hand. asideWhen Chen Wanqing saw that Yan Yingyuan had official business, he wanted to leave. Seeing Yan Yingyuan's condition, he had to sit down first.
Yan Yingyuan felt his head doubled after reading the letter. Li Dingguo's letter made it clear that the Tatars had already passed Pizhou, which meant that they were about to cross the border of Suqian. If the Tatars' goal was to approach Nanjing, then they would definitely It will pass through Huaiyin, how great is this! The 20,000 cavalrymen just passed by without attacking. It was not easy to stop them.
Yan Yingyuan calmed down and saw that Chen Wanqing was still sitting! "Shopkeeper Chen, I have something to do here, and I didn't provide good hospitality. Please go back first!" He stood up and left the living room.
The reason why Chen Wanqing wants to make friends with Yan Yingyuan is because he likes Yan Yingyuan's character. He has no official airs at all and is very easy-going. He never looks down on others. He can even talk to Yan Yingyuan about someone who takes out shit. Such an official is rare. Yes, Chen Wanqing thought that the two had become in-laws and would have the opportunity to have a close friendship in the future. Looking at Yan Yingyuan's back, he knew that Yan Yingyuan was in trouble.
The problem before Yan Yingyuan was indeed troublesome. The most effective way to stop the first one was rejected by Yan Yingyuan. He could mobilize less than 5,000 men and horses, and they were all infantry. They could not compete with the Tatar cavalry. Besides, if the Tatars wanted to If we avoid the blockade, we may not even find the Tatars.
Qiao Xuerong had met Mrs. Yan five years ago. At that time, she insisted on being a slave in the Yan Mansion, but she was rejected by Mrs. Yan. When they met today, she found that the old lady had not aged, she was still so strong, and she was very happy inside. Qiao Xuerong greeted the old lady generously and told her what happened.
Mrs. Yan looked at Qiao Xuerong. The beauty in front of her was the little girl back then. It was really unparalleled. Her son could have such a daughter-in-law, but he couldn't even find her with a lantern! Besides, the uncooked rice has already been cooked, and they are old acquaintances again. It is really satisfying. After a while, Mrs. Yan was coaxed to smile by this new daughter-in-law.
Qiao Xuerong's long-cherished wish came true, and she was happier than anyone else. Originally, she thought that this would be it for the rest of her life. She would find a nunnery and become a monk in a few years. She would chant sutras and pray for Yan Yingyuan every day. She didn't expect that she would be at her cousin's house yesterday. After meeting Yan Yingyuan, everything can only be explained by fate.
Mrs. Yan was supported by her new daughter-in-law and came to see Yan Yingyuan. The old lady felt that she could not wrong Qiao Xuerong. She had not married for many years just for the sake of her son. She had to look presentable even if she didn't take care of it! As soon as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came in, they saw Yan Yingyuan in a daze with a sad face!
"CoughcoughMotherwhy did you light it up again!" Yan Yingyuan was choked by the smell of tobacco and coughed. The well-behaved Qiao Xuerong hurried over and gave Yan Yingyuan a pat on the back. Yan Yingyuan was very filial to his mother, but there was one thing about her that made him unhappy, which was smoking. Instead of dry tobacco, she smoked hookah. Yan Yingyuan did not dare to say anything about it.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were about to say something when they saw Yan Yingyuan jumping up and down laughing, almost dancing. The old lady looked at her son with some confusion, thinking to herself, could he be so happy just because he married a young and beautiful daughter-in-law? Qiao Xuerong on the side looked worried, fearing that Yan Yingyuan would lose his footing.
"Mother! You are really my precious mother." Yan Yingyuan came over and kowtowed to Mrs. Yan, and then ran out, leaving the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who didn't know what happened.
Yan Yingyuan just choked on my mother's cigarette, and suddenly he had an idea of ??how to deal with Obai's cavalry going south. Can this not make him happy? After coming out, they immediately called for a meeting with all officials below the governor to discuss matters to stop the Tatars.
Yan Yingyuan crossed his legs and banged on the table with his hands. He was probably the only one in the Ming Dynasty who had this posture for ascending to the throne. Seeing that almost everyone had come, Yan Yingyuan coughed and said, "Immediately send the order from me. From Huaibei to Suqian, all the way to the south of Muyang Guannan, except for the twenty-mile radius of Huaiyin, every household burned straw for me. It must be thick smoke, plus some pepper, ginger, etc., no. Just sprinkle some water and let the people do nothing else at home. The governor's office will pay one silver dollar to each household every day. If anyone does not burn the straw, he will be fined one silver dollar. At that time, the government will send people to conduct random inspections, and all officials who are unfavorable will be dismissed from their posts. "
As soon as Yan Yingyuan finished his explanation, the crowd was almost in a state of panic. Everyone knew that Yan Yingyuan was nicknamed Yan Shang Thief. What kind of drama was he acting in? According to what Yan Yingyuan said, if you mix the chili peppers and sprinkle some water, wouldn't it choke all the humans and animals in the Huaihe River Basin!
Yan Yingyuan saw the people below whispering to each other. He picked up the gavel and slapped it hard, "Why are you still standing there? If you don't make arrangements, if I don't see the smoke tonight, you will all be punished for half a year."
The officials below were frightened by Yan Yingyuan and hurriedly started to move. God knows whether the thief Yan would punish their salaries, but they all agreed that Yan Yingyuan's head was probably burned out, otherwise how could he issue such a ridiculous order? The order is there!
