The two palace maids laughed and made a fuss. They were much more free in this shop than in the palace, and there were not so many rules.
"Stop, stop, someone is here to buy things." Li Chengcheng got up and smiled and watched the fun, but saw someone coming to the store and hurriedly spoke out to remind him.
The palace maids stopped laughing and playing, and returned to their place, standing in a dignified manner.
When Zhu Youxiao took Zhang Yuer into the store, customers were already selecting goods, and an idle palace maid came forward to greet him.
"Look at it casually, I'll bother you when I buy it." Zhu Youxiao was annoyed by a promotional man behind his butt in his previous life. He said nothing but said nothing, so he waved his hand and sent the palace maid away.
Most of the goods on the shelves were from the palace, including wine, sauce, vinegar, candy and snacks. But some were not, and Zhu Youxiao was a little surprised.
"Is this dried fruit sour?" Zhang Yuer pointed at her finger and asked uncertainly.
"It's not very sour, it's the kind with sourness and sweetness." The palace maid who had just walked away hurriedly turned around and introduced with a smile: "If the lady feels sour, you can dip it in sugar or apply some honey before eating."
As he said that, the palace maid turned around and picked up a plate from the counter. It was cut into small pieces of candied fruits, and there were toothpicks next to the plate. "Miss, please try it and see which flavor you like."
Well, this business method can be done. Zhu Youxiao nodded secretly and signaled Zhang Yuer to taste it with a smile. He walked to the chair next to him to sit down, fiddled with a folding fan, and gently slit the head of the jaw. This little teahouse was also good for resting.
Zhang Yuer was a little uncomfortable with the title of Miss and said with a smile: "My name is Zhang Yuer, don't call me like Miss."
"Then call me Miss Yu'er." The palace maid changed her name tactfully, and smiled and held the plate in front of Zhang Yu'er.
Li Chengcheng felt a little familiar when Zhang Yuer entered the store. While looking at him from time to time, he frowned slightly and recalled where he had seen him.
Suddenly, Li Chengcheng opened his eyes wide and she remembered.
When I walked outside the East Palace, I heard the cats crying inside, mixed with the screams of women. Then, the young woman hurried out in her arms, holding a fat white cat and walked towards the Qianqing Palace.
Qianqing Palace, Li Chengcheng certainly knew that it was the palace where the emperor was. He also heard that there was a cat named Bai Niangniang who was very popular with the emperor.
In this way, isn’t she the palace maid who serves Bai Niangniang in the Qianqing Palace? Can a palace maid leave the palace at will? Of course not. Then, is the young man next to her...
Li Chengcheng was shocked when he had such a guess, so he began to pay attention to Zhu Youxiao's words and behaviors again.
For such a long time, Zhu Youxiao has been in a high position for a long time, and naturally formed a sense of a superior. Simply put, it is the feeling that I am the best in the world.
Moreover, he was not interested in the goods produced by the court just glanced at them. If it were someone else, he would have to ask questions in a rare way or complain about the high prices.
The more I looked at it, the more I became more and more vivid. Li Chengcheng felt his heartbeat faster and something he could never dream of happened. The Supreme Emperor of Nine Five appeared in front of him peacefully and casually.
His eyes rolled, and Li Chengcheng decided to take a bold action.
She quickly poured a cup of tea, held it to Zhu Youxiao, bowed and served it respectfully, but when Zhu Youxiao used a fan to signal it to put it on the small table, she said softly: "White Dragon Fish Clothes, you should be careful when you see the troubles. "
The idiom "White Dragon Fish Clothing" originally means that the white dragon turns into a fish and swims in the abyss and is injured by a fisherman. It is a metaphor for a noble person who travels in a mist, and may be in danger of accidents.
Zhu Youxiao's eyes flashed, guessing that this palace maid probably recognized him. But it was very suitable for him to speak implicitly and not to speak loudly.
"Who do you call me?" Zhu Youxiao was also very curious about the palace maid's talent. She just stayed at the counter and seemed to be the manager of the store, so she asked with a smile.
Li Chengcheng bowed and replied in a warm voice: "My family's surname is Li, and his name is Chengcheng."
Chengcheng? Chengcheng?! Zhu Youxiao looked up and looked at it. He didn't know whether it was his beautiful appearance or his elegant temperament, but he really had a bit of a similar look.
"Very good." Zhu Youxiao gently praised the palace maid's cleverness, and even said impeccable. He called himself a slave rather than a servant, and said, "Li Chengcheng, remember you."
Li Chengcheng bowed his head, gently pursed the corners of his lips, revealing a happy smile.
Over there, Zhang Yuer also tasted the candied fruit, bought two packs of fruits and walked over happily.
Zhu Youxiao stood up, looked at Li Chengcheng with a gentle look, and turned around and left the shop with Zhang Yuer.
The palace maid Xiaomo sent another customer away, looked at Li Chengcheng in surprise, and said, "Sister Chengcheng, I seem to hear you telling the young man the name!"
"You heard it wrong." Li Chengcheng had a ghost in his heart, but he said calmly: "I told him to come here often."
Xiaomo blinked, and the doubt on her face had not diminished, but she was not sure.
"Okay, I'll write it down." Li Chengcheng went into the counter, picked up the pen, and changed the topic.
…………… Dividing line………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
The outside of the country must first be settled, which is also the main reason why Zhu Youxiao retreated in western Liaoning first.
First, the Ming army lacked combat power and needed to change courses and train a strong army with excellent equipment and courage;
The second is to solve the hidden dangers within the Ming Dynasty, promote profits and eliminate disadvantages, and make the finances abundant and the society stable.
However, internal problems not only include the accumulated shortcomings of reform, but also the She'an Rebellion in the southwest. Whether the Ming army can concentrate its forces and launch a counterattack against Jiannu.
You should know that the She'an Rebellion lasted until the tenth year of Chongzhen in history before it was completely suppressed.
In other words, if there are no variables, it will take fifteen or sixteen years, which is definitely something that Zhu Youxiao cannot accept.
Although this war was called the She'an Rebellion, Zhu Youxiao knew that She Chongming was not worthy of fear, and the Shuixi'an family was the main reason for the long-term delay in the war.
You should know that the Shuxi'an family has been around for more than a thousand years from the first year of Jianxing in Shu Han to the present. It can be said that it has a deep foundation, a long history, a marriage between all directions, the strongest military force and the widest area.
The main reason why the She'an Rebellion lasted for such a long time was that the terrain of Guizhou's water west was too complex, with dense forests and deep ditches and dense mountains. If the official army went deep, it would be very easy to be ambushed and cut off the food route.
The Ming army suffered a lot of losses in history, and Wang Sanshan, Lu Qin and others were all trapped in battle and died for the country; even Wu Sangui was almost trapped to death in the battle against Shuixi.
Therefore, it is easy to defeat the rebels. When the rebels retreat back to their nests, it is difficult for the official army to plow the courtyard and sweep the caves and eliminate them in one fell swoop. After the rebels recovered, they jumped out to cause trouble.
Zhu Youxiao did not have a good solution to this problem. However, it is urgent to suppress the momentum of the rebels as soon as possible.
As early as two months ago, Zhu Youxiao issued an order to reduce the gold and silver this year's gold and silver to Beijing, and the remaining money and grain were transferred to Changde, Chongqing and other places to increase the supply and reserves of the officials who suppressed the rebels.
A month ago, Zhu Youxiao came from Yongwei and selected the two battalions to draw 3,000 troops, and went south along the Caohe River to reinforce Guiyang.
In addition to the reinforcements of the army, Zhu Youxiao also selected 200 students from martial arts, formed a battlefield observation group, and went to the southwest for practical training.
At this time, the reinforcements had already completed Cao Road, transferred to naval ships on the Yangtze River, climbed up the river, and headed to Changde.
Changde, known as "Wuling" and "Langzhou", is located in northern Hunan, on the west side of Dongting Lake in the south of the Yangtze River, at the foot of Wuling Mountain. It is known in history as "Sichuan-Guizhou Throat, Yunnan-Guizhou Gateway".
From Changde to the south, through Chenzhou, and breaking Yuanzhou (has been occupied by rebels), the Hunan-Guizhou route was opened, and the only obstacle to reinforce Guiyang was left.
How to march, supply along the way, combat strategies, etc. were repeatedly studied and decided by the Ministry of War and martial arts. Of course, Zhu Youxiao did not forget to remind the officers who went to the aid, and issued an order to make arrangements along the way.
Clouds float in the blue sky, rippling river water, and ships of all sizes are heading west.
Xu Hongyu stood on the deck, looking at the scene on both sides of the shore, pursing his lips slightly, and a few smiles appeared.
For him who was born in Jiangnan, these are familiar scenes, but when he sees them again, he feels different.
Now, he is not wandering around, nor is he escaping from the shackles of the deep house and the high court, but is approaching the battlefield of war and embarking on the road to making achievements.
"Three Young Master..." Xu Xiaoqi just shouted for a while, and the young master glared back.
He dressed as a soldier and participated in the Beijing camp for a short time, but as a native of Jiangnan, he was naturally selected, which was also to minimize the reduction in staff caused by the local environment and the local environment.
"Sir." Xu Xiaoqi saluted with a straightforward stern salute, and then he was recognized by the young master's head.
Xu Hongyu pointed ahead and said, "In another hour, we will almost arrive in Dongting Lake. We have not forgotten what we have been here before?"
Xu Xiaoqi nodded and said, "I remember, three years ago, I swam across the lake with the young master. It's so big!"
After pausing, Xu Xiaoqi continued, "I heard that the barbarians are very savage and fierce, and there are hundreds of thousands of them. It is probably not that easy to resolve the siege of Guiyang, right?"
Xu Hongyu patted Xu Xiaoqi's arm and said with a smile: "There are no hundreds of thousands, and the amount of the battle is no more than 100,000. As for the savageness and fierceness, it is even more nonsense. Don't worry, with our two battalions, we won't explain the siege of Guiyang, but there is no problem to block one side."
Xu Xiaoqi thought for a while and grinned, "Yes, it's not our two battalions that suppressed the rebellion, but also the officials from other provinces!"
As he said that, Xu Xiaoqi looked back at the east with some hope and said, "When the war is over, can we take a holiday? Let's go back to Nanjing Mansion to take a look."
Xu Hongyu shrugged and said, "What's the best thing to look like? I don't want it."
Xu Xiaoqi wanted to say something else, but saw an officer coming over and hurriedly saluted.
Like Xu Hongyu, this officer was a member of the observation group, but he was from Guizhou. He even lived in Guiyang and wanted to rescue the siege more eagerly than Xu Hongyu.
The two got together, pointed at the situation, and talked enthusiastically, leaving no room for Xu Xiaoqi to interrupt.
At this time, the situation on the front line had changed a lot from when they set out from the capital.
At the junction of Sichuan and Guizhou, officers and soldiers fought with She Chongming's rebels in Jianwu, Changning (now east of Gong County, Sichuan Province), Gong County, Yibin and Zunyi areas, and they had a victory or defeat, and there was a stalemate.
The new governor Wang Sanshan led his army to recover Yuanzhou and sent General Zhang Yanfang to lead 20,000 troops to aid Guiyang, but was lured and defeated by the rebels in Longli.
Wang Sanshan had to stop the action for the time being. On the one hand, he accumulated grain and gathered troops, and on the other hand, he waited for the arrival of Hubei and Guangxi, [567 Chinese www.yue20.com] Yunnan reinforcements arrived.
