Chapter 78: The Three Stooges (1)
Adhering to Liu Hongji's spirit of copying his home, the big mansion with high potential was in a mess, all valuable things were swept away, and he wanted to sell it for a few dollars in this big mansion, Liu Hongjian said in his heart.
At the stone table in the courtyard sat a woman with her back in a green coat and her long hair hanging down behind her.
"Come and meet my family!" Yan Yingyuan shouted behind him, he also saw that this woman was pitiful, thinking that his family was busy with military affairs all day, and there was not even a maid at home, so he thought carefully.
The atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty was like this, not only businessmen, but even scholars were proud of taking concubines, and their own adults were expensive at a young age as uncles, chief soldiers, and the leaders of Jinyiwei.
Yan Yingyuan, who has always regarded Liu Hong as a benefactor, saw that this woman was not only pretty, but also literate, if she followed the adult, not only did the woman have a home, but the adult also ......, well, it was really the best of both worlds.
"The little woman has seen the adult!" The woman looked back and saw a man in a python suit standing in front of Lord Yan, and knew in her heart that this was the noble person that Lord Yan said, and she was surprised that he was young and busy saluting.
"Well, where are you and why did you end up here?" Liu Hong gradually glanced at the woman in green clothes, although the woman's face was a little haggard, but she still couldn't hide her beautiful face.
Liu Hong couldn't help but glance back at Yan Yingyuan, isn't this corruption, Yan Yingyuan hurriedly bowed down to show embarrassment.
The woman's name is Yang Xue, she is a native of Liaodong, living in Liaoyang, and later built a slave to raise soldiers, her father took a family to Ningyuan City, and made a living by opening a grain shop, but then Ningyuan also fell into the hands of thieves.
As a last resort, his father dragged his family into the customs, although he was displaced, but fortunately, his father still had some savings in business, and he had a good life in Shanhaiguan Town.
But then somehow he was favored by Gao Qiqian, who was in a high position and high power, and was forcibly sent to prison on the grounds that his father was a slave and a traitor.
His father was grief-stricken when he heard about this, and he looked for a short time in prison, and then plundered Yang Xue into the mansion.
Gao Qi sneaked into the eunuch, and there were already three wives and concubines in the house, and the eunuchs were not allowed to do things for men and women, and the concubines were only for the glory of the lintel.
Gao Qiqian imprisoned her in a hut and worked hard every day, but Yang Xue had a strong personality and swore to death.
In the end, Gao Qiqian also lost interest, but his concubine repeatedly made things difficult for Yang Xue, and took pleasure in insulting and scolding Yang Xue every day, which was three months until he was rescued by Yan Yingyuan, the flat-headed brother.
Yang Xue quietly told her life experience, and when she said that later, she sobbed lowly, and the scene was suddenly a little embarrassing.
"I heard you're literate?" Liu Hong gradually said, alas, why did he bother? I really have nothing to do with myself!
"Back to my lord, the little girl is not only literate, but also a little arithmetic!" When she was a child, her father hired a teacher for her and her brother, and when he grew up, he continued to share errands for his father in the barn's store.
Entering and exiting the land of merchants as a woman is also a scenery in Shanhaiguan Town, and it is precisely because of this that it is targeted by the prison army.
"Oh? That's easy! "Shanhaiguan has tens of thousands of soldiers, although Wu Sangui has been ambushed, but the military camp has always had a bad habit of eating empty salaries, and he is lacking someone who knows arithmetic to help him supervise this matter.
Immediately, Liu Hong gradually ordered Yan Yingyuan to arrange this matter, but then made a mistake for the placement of the woman.
Shanhaiguan was a military camp, how could she be such a weak woman to live with those vulgar soldiers, and even a separate barracks was not safe, and then there was no way, so she was placed in the yamen where he lived.
The young adult in front of Yang Xueguan not only did not show his eyes, but also arranged an errand for her, and was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down to thank her.
"My lord, Lord Wang, the deputy commander-in-chief, please go to the barracks, saying that you have caught a few suspicious people!" A soldier trotted in from outside the courtyard.
Lustful people? There are also foreigners in this mess?
In the Shanhaiguan Barracks, three bearded people sat on the ground with ropes tied to their bodies.
"Let us go, we're not spies!"
"We're here to find Lord Chief, we can help you! We worked! ”
The three people struggled and shouted a somewhat stiff Chinese.
"What are you shouting, be honest, and shout again to cut out your tongues!" A sergeant kicked a slightly older man in the lead.
"Lao Wang, what's going on!" Lao Wang is the new deputy chief soldier of Shanhaiguan Wang Yuanba, and Liu Hongjian also wondered how his side was surnamed Wang, and he was older than himself.
"My lord, early this morning, these three people were sneakily wandering around outside the yamen, and the lower officials felt that something was wrong, and they were afraid that they were spies on the Tartar side, so they tied them up.
Who knew that they claimed that it was an urgent matter to come to the chief soldier, although the subordinate did not believe it, but he was also afraid that he would miss the adult's business, so he had to invite the adult to come! Wang Yuanba saw that the chief soldier called himself Lao Wang, and he bowed very much.
Liu Hong gradually circled around the three foreigners, all three of whom were wearing very shabby European-style robes, and the older foreigners also wore a triangular hat, one eye seemed to be blind, and they wore an eye patch.
My mother, isn't this dress like Pirates of the Caribbean?
“hello,where are you from? (Where do you come from?) Liu Hong gradually became interested in these three people, since they are foreigners, they should be able to understand English.
Liu Hong gradually spat out bird words, not only stunned Wang Yuanba beside him, but even the three foreigners were dumbfounded.
“oh my god,my lord,you can speak our language.i am from spain, they are from germany, and we come to you to help you defeat the enemy.”
I have been wandering in China for more than ten years, and I have never seen a Ming person who can speak their language, and the foreigner with a pirate hat has a kind of surprise to meet his old acquaintance in a foreign land, and he speaks a series of bird language, and the speed of speech is extremely fast.
Liu Hongji: ......
MMP, Lao Tzu, as a patriot, has never passed English, which is really embarrassing!
"Can you speak Chinese?" Liu Hong gradually pretended to be calm, anyway, these big bosses around him couldn't understand.
"Of course, my lord, we can speak Chinese!" The pirate leader hurriedly changed to Chinese.
Juan González, a 45-year-old Spaniard, was wanted by the Spanish Navy for selling arms without permission when he was young, and the hapless captain of the Manila ship sailed the Indian Ocean alone, only to be killed by the Dutch in the middle of the road.
The Spanish mainland had been at war with the Dutch and was in a state of hostility, and the Dutch not only laughed at Juan's ship, but also detained Juan's men, and because of his experience in seafaring, the Dutch left him on a small ship as a second officer.
He's the man who swore to be the King of the Pirates! How can you be willing to stay on such a small broken ship, still a second officer!
So for the next few years, he waited for an opportunity to escape, but the Dutch were so tightly guarded that even when they reached the port, they did not allow his little broken ship to dock.
He kept drifting and drifting on the sea until the real One Piece Zheng Zhilong defeated the Dutch Navy and got ashore.
Unfortunately, Zheng Zhilong is also an extremely arrogant person, Juan is young and vigorous, refuses to give Zheng Zhilong his life, and is blinded by him and waits for an opportunity to escape.
In order to avoid the pursuit of the Dutch, the Spaniards, and Zheng Zhilong, he planned to go to the capital to try his luck, but he was not familiar with the place and only knew how to go north, and he actually arrived in Shanhaiguan Town in a daze.
Because Westerners like to speak straightforwardly, and the language is not comprehensible, they often offend people and are beaten by fat, and they have learned Chinese for more than ten years, and Comrade Juan is stunned that he has not found a place to live.
God knows how many beatings Juan has taken over the years.
A few days ago, I heard that a new general soldier came to the town, so I wanted to try my luck and ask for an errand, but the last time I defected to Wu Sangui and was beaten very badly, so this time he was a little hesitant, but he was arrested as a spy.
Alas! No way, there is no money in Daming, it's so difficult!
