Chapter 9 Rivers and Seas

A few months after Zeng Yiben's death, Xiangshan Office changed its storefront and called Nanyang Guard, prefectures and counties, civil and military officials in southern Guangdong and merchants from all over the country. Those with low status came to visit him in person, and those with high status sent people to visit him, which had nothing to do with currying favor, because not many people really had interests with Nanyang Guard, but they were just ordinary polite exchanges and did not even try to make friends.

The worldly style is an interesting thing. Maybe many people don’t know Chen Mu, maybe they just met during the Battle of Guangcheng and would not have sent people to celebrate. But things are strange. Whenever someone in a circle proposes to visit Nanyang Guard, the rest of the people will go with them.

Celebration is not about making friends, but about not holding grudges.

There are many people who express kindness, but goodwill may not be recorded. People who do not express kindness will most likely be remembered and misunderstood as hostility.

People just to avoid hostility.

When the business is busy, sometimes I ignore the people I am close to. Chen Mu did not expect that the Gubu Tower would really be closed.

Because of the many banquets, he only asked the chef of the Gubu Building to organize it. Yan Qingyao even came to help several times and was happy for him. The letter from Yan Bo from Yuegang was smiled by Yan Qingyao. The willful little girl, as Chen Mu expected, did not want to close the Gububu Building at all.

He even wrote a letter two months ago to tell Yan Qing that the business of Gubu Building was getting more prosperous, and he planned to open another larger restaurant in Haojing.

Why do you say that it’s just like closing?

The invitation from the Gubulou Guanzhang rewarded the elders of Guangcheng to the Nanyang Guard was sent to Nanyang Guard, but Chen Mu caught him off guard.

"Prepare the horse!"

Chen Mu didn't expect that Gufu Tower would be closed. Yan Qingyao, who had been ten months ago, did not expect that she would turn Gufu Tower to be closed.

Perhaps no one in this world knows better than Yan Qingyao how powerful a word can give people.

I don’t know when it started, and at dusk when every table and chair was well-tied, the second floor of the drum-belt building leaned south against the railing. The shopkeeper always liked to briefly change into short clothes, wide and floral horse-faced skirts, looking at the invisible rivers and seas, and always looking at the shadows of the eaves and the mountains, smiling in a daze.

She thought, someone said there that she would marry her as the wife of Qianhu.

Is that a promise?

She didn't think it was worth only fourteen taels of silver, so Uncle Yan bought her back from her mother. Where would a high-ranking official and noble person willing to marry her?

It's a marriage, it's a wife!

Lady of Thousand Houses.

But isn't it a promise?

When the man was in Guangcheng police, he handed over the waist sign to himself, and said that he would use this wooden sign to call Kaicheng Gate to live in the military camp, which was said to be the family of Qianhu, Xiangshan.

The shopkeeper ran to Yan Guifang more diligently. She was like a squirrel with her mouth tucked in her cheeks. She cared about the little secrets that others thought others could not see. She carefully asked indirectly what the lady of the fifth-rank official had. Even those sisters were just hearing it, but she was the only opportunity she cherished to know these things.

In fact, everyone knows what the shopkeeper is thinking, but Su Sanniang issued an order that the girls in Yan Guifang would not allow Yan Guifang to talk nonsense about their benefactor's affairs. In addition, they also care about their dreams of the shopkeeper.

Because a person knows time and opportunity, the appearance of others knowing differently through different angles.

Chen Mu, who is easy-going and cheerful in Yan Qingyao's eyes, looks different in the eyes of Miss Yan Guifang. Although she is greedy for women, she is determined to make achievements and is humble. She is a young and promiscuous general who can be compared with Yu Long and Qi Hu, kills people like earth, and is a famous prostitute in Guangcheng who is even cautious in his virtues because the name of the pleasure boat is signed in his nickname.

Whenever Yan Qingyao thought he would bring the topic to the Qianhu Lady without any trace, there would be prostitutes who looked down on her and let out mean laughter. Su Sanniang could control their words, but could not control their laughter.

Those people looked at Yan Qingyao with cold and contemptuous eyes from top to bottom, and until the shopkeeper felt uncomfortable, they said lightly, "The master of a high-ranking official is of equal status, and you must have gentleness and virtue at least." "Their wives also need to have fathers who are important members in the court, so that they can help them get promoted in the future and have a prosperous official career!"

It always makes people feel depressed whenever they hear it.

It is difficult to be a wife of a thousand households. If you talk about swearing in the market, you will be beaten to death with a stick, let alone have a family background that matches her.

But what can defeat the little shopkeeper with a dream?

She would still wear a beautiful horse-faced dress, light makeup, sneak up onto the pleasure boat, and find out the "secrets" that are insignificant to others but are of great significance to others. She hid the book like a lover, recording the swear words that the rules blurted out with her every day. Every night, she would take out the book and show a disheartened disappointment or satisfied smile after reconciling the accounts with candlelight.

But later whether the promise was not important, because the promise could never be fulfilled, and she would never be the wife of Qianhu.

Because there was no Chen Qianhu in Xiangshan, some were the commander-in-chief of the Nanyang Guard, and General Zhaoyong Chen Mu.

A third-rank military officer with a red robe, crown, gold chest and tiger back.

No one changed her new waist tag for the Qianhu Xiangshan who was absent seal carving. Fortunately, no one came to ask her for it. Even if the Xiangshan Institute became Nanyangwei, the cooked meat from the Gubulou Tower was still eaten.

At the banquet where the Nanyang Guard Office asked her to take people to take back the gifts again and again, the shopkeeper also dressed in a green-robed and dressed up as a guest in the general's mansion with a smile and stooped his hands to welcome the guests, watching others come with a proud ambition, and also to watch others get tired.

Watch him laugh, watch him dance, watch him lying by the stream and vomiting.

He is General Zhao Yong, who is the majestic in the eyes of others, and the Qingyuan General Banner with a treacherous clothes and jacket in her heart.

From Guangzhou Prefecture to Nanyangwei, cross several mountains and rivers, and your eyes are still clear when you close your footprints.

Sometimes he would comfort himself. Anyway, he was not close to women, and she was still young anyway. One day, one day, she would be able to achieve the virtues of a wife of a thousand households. It would be good if the concubine who could not be a commander--if the wife was not so mean and harsh.

People grow slowly in the weaving scenery until one day.

Yan Guifang's sister inadvertently told her that she was invited to the Nanyang Guard to accompany the distinguished guests from afar. It turned out that a few words could destroy the strong dream.

"The one who came from Bozhou is a real nobleman, not gold and silver utensils, not worthy of Chinese clothing and beauty. He used the people who drink tea in Panlongquan in Zhaoqing. Three horses were killed by a pot of tea. General Chen couldn't afford to take care of him, and it was all based on the guests' happiness. I heard from the nobleman that General Chen thought General Chen was very good and wanted to make his sister General Xu his wife. At that time, the dowry would be sent to his city in Nanyang Guard!"

"Shh! Qingyao is also on the boat, whisper! Don't let her know."

What's the use of whispering in a low voice through the wooden wall screen? It's because the little shopkeeper with two ears raised up could hear it clearly.

Yan Qingyao pouted and smiled, but she still came back by despising her.

She thought she would turn around and run off the boat, but she didn't. She learned a song from her sisters as usual, and then she smiled and waved her hands on the shore.

She chuckled, and the alarm bell was in her heart. Naruto was bustling with voices, like Japanese pirates landing on the island of Jiangxin;

She waved her hand, as if that day, the entire Guangzhou city officials and people shouted Chen Mu's name and sang the achievements of the general;

The war in my heart tended to subside, but Yan Qingyao was not the one who won a great victory.

He calmly sent a hiring silver to the chef and sent an invitation to the restaurant to pay the banquet to the elders. The abandoned waist sign was placed in a hand-embroidered mandarin duck brocade bag for the ceremony at the bottom of the wooden box. He wrote a letter to Yan Bo with candles: Let's set off soon and go to Yuegang.

The ink is black and the paper is wet.
