C3571 Further south of Caishikou

Li Tuo left the Yangxin Palace with Tang Yin's fan, and Li Lianying actually personally gifted it out, showing how satisfied Ci Xi was with Li Tuo.

The two of them walked to the door to rest their hearts, but there were no people around, so Manager Li laughed: "Master Li is so lucky, Salonga's house is a treasure, it's hard to trade it for gold … …"

"Ouch …" My good Chief Steward, my back is covered in cold sweat. "People can make people jealous, but I haven't seen this kind of thing too often."

"What are you afraid of! With the Old Buddha supporting him, that meant he would have the Emperor supporting him … Isn't it just a single house? You should relax and go live there. Furthermore, it's a rented house, so there's no need for you to be afraid! "

"Right …" Just now, the empress dowager had said that all the servants and women of Salonga's family would be locked up in the mansion. Those who find them pleasing to the eye will be left behind when you turn around and those who find them unpleasing to the eye will be thrown into the prison … "

"My lord Li, you have to learn how to call servants! Wasn't this person living because he had to be served? We will serve the Old Buddha, and the Old Buddha will naturally grant us the services of slaves … "

"Go back and find that beautiful palace maid or whatever. I'll pay attention to this …" When the time comes, I'll give you twenty or thirty gimmicks, so you can enjoy life! "

Since it had come to this, there was no point in being polite. Li Tuo could only accept it!

Sometimes, the Qing Dynasty's methods of winning people's hearts were so simple and direct. It brought with it the wildness of a cold northwest wind outside the pass, the house, the money, the official position, the woman … There was no need to turn the corner, just give. There was no need to be courteous!

What else could Li Tuo say, he decided to give it his all! There was a hook in Li Lianying's words and words just now, he did not say he would leave anything behind if he was interested in it, if he was not, he would send it to the prison.

What else could he do? He could only stay, Li Tuo couldn't just watch them die one by one in the prison! This is Ci Xi's wrist, putting a life in your hands, what do you think we should do?

It's like putting a little girl in your hand and then grinning and saying, "Want it? Do you like it? "Take it to warm up the bed …"

[You actually dare to say no and say no? If you don't like her, you can bring her out to behead her. You don't even need to be punished, you can just behead her and see her die because of you!

How do you think you're going to get through this? At this critical juncture, are you really willing to let a maid die because of you?

If you say so! That would be much easier. One girl would have a second, third or even a hundredth! Even if he didn't sleep, he could still use makeup to soften the bones of his heroes!

What do you think you are, a man of honor? What morals do you want to be? Your butt is full of women, what are you pretending to be a big tailed wolf for?

Hehe … How could a person walk by a river without wetting his shoes? Since his shoes were wet, then he might as well go down to the river and take a bath!

Li Lianying's face was full of smiles. He was also carefully calculating at the same time, 'If you don't want the mansion and the women, then you won't care about the face you're given. At that time, don't blame the Old Buddha for being merciless!'

'But if you're going to pursue the Dao, you can still continue to cultivate and cultivate. Let's see how you choose then! '

Li Tuo cupped his hands together and said, "Head Supervisor, please wait. I'll go deliver the gift to the great marshal now. I'll go take a look at the old mansion when I get back …" For the procedures in Ministry of Internal Affairs, please state a word of advice … "

"Hahaha …" Go, Sir Li, just wait for the good news! "

Li Tuo had just taken two steps when he suddenly stopped and turned to Li Lianying with a smile. "I don't know if you are free tonight, but this official would like to invite you to have a drink …"

"Oh …" Lord Li is so free? "Fine, then don't go to any restaurant. There's a new Yangzhou master in the house outside the palace. He's called the 'best' with his big hand, 'hot dried silk', and 'crab pink lion head' …"

"Tonight, East Xinlong Street... "I'll be waiting for you …"

Li Tuo immediately shouted, but did not dare, how could he let Chief Steward wait, the official had ordered him to be here early.

After exiting the Inner Right Gate, in a short span of thirty minutes, the Yangxin Palace's meeting with Li Tuo was drenched in sweat. Guard Isha had been waiting here the entire time, listening to the mockery and ridicule from her colleagues in the day class.

Isha was extremely embarrassed. Although he was a direct descendant of the Eight Banners, but she had never learned the kind of shamelessness that a silkpants should have when she was young in Chengde.

They could only allow these people to gossip and gossip. These people were just laughing at Isha, a dignified Manchu, for getting rid of a sin using the protection of a Chinese person, it was truly embarrassing for their ancestors!

Isha's face was flushed red, but she did not know what to say in rebuttal. Just at this time, Li Tuo hurriedly walked out from inside, and those few chattering guards immediately stood up and did not say a word, and remained silent.

These people were all useless people. They knew that Zhang Jing could take care of the family, and when the time came, the empress dowager could meet them alone for half an hour. What did this mean?

He dared to challenge the powerless Isha, but no one dared to challenge the popular Chinese Officer even half a fart!

"Gone!" Isha... What's with the blush... Stop bullshitting and hurry up, we still have things to do! "

How could Li Tuo care about the buzzing of a bunch of flies? There were countless of these things in the government to deal with these people, the only way to deal with these people was to do better than them, and to live on forever!

As they walked, Li Tuo lectured Isha, "If you want to survive in the imperial court, you have to turn your heart into steel! What if the dog calls you? Call him back? "

"In the face of a barking dog, all you have to do is do nothing and live a good life as an official... "In the future, you will always be a meat eater and they will always be dog eaters …"

"Better than the enemy, the only way to defeat the enemy … Rather than risking your life to perish together with me! "

The group of people turned onto West Chang An Street after lunch and galloped south from the Xidan Tavern straight towards Xuanwu Gate. They left Xuanwu Gate and entered South City straight towards Caishikou.

When they reached Caishikou, they did not stop and continued to head south straight towards Nanheng Street. Ceng Guofan's house in the capital city was right here, a total of sixty houses on Nanheng Street were all rented out by Great Marshal Zeng.

Ceng Guofan had never bought a mansion in the capital before, and he did not want to rent a mansion bestowed by the imperial government.

And all of them were rented in the Caishikou!

The further they went towards the south of Caishikou, the more depressed they felt. This place was one that even Isha did not want to live in, because if they continued south of South Horizon Street, it would only be farmland.

"Why does the marshal live in such a crappy place? That shouldn't be the case …" Isha nagged on the way.

The Beijing back then was completely different from the world city in the twenty-first century. In fact, forget about Tongzhi, even if you look up a map of the initial years of the Republic of China, a large part of the southern part of the Caishikou was covered with fields.

At that time, Taoran Pavilion Park was just like two big puddles. One was called Taoran Pavilion, while the other was called Black Dragon Pond, which was used to irrigate the surrounding vegetable plots.

The dignified founder of the million Xiang Army, Ceng Guofan, was stationed at a place like Nanheng Street, which was surrounded by vegetables. The houses there were all four-sided courtyard houses with a distinctive grade style, all of which were slightly decorated by ordinary houses.

Upon reaching the main entrance, the gatekeeper senile stroke heard that it was an official sent by the palace, it was something bestowed by the Empress Dowager Xi, he did not dare delay and hurried into the hall to receive him, just as he sat down for a while, he heard Ceng Guofan's voice.

"What will the empress dowager do? "Give me the incense stick and receive the edict …"

"No need, no need …" Li Tuo hurriedly stood up and said to the marshal, "Marshal, you don't need to receive the orders. The empress dowager just sent something to the marshal …" "It's not a decree, there's no need to go through so much trouble …"

After saying that, Li Tuo took out the fan set from his bosom and handed it over.
