Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Lu Bu was mistaken for his father-in-law

Chapter 227 226 Lin Mo's Letter
"Ma'am, Hongxiu Zhao's textile, farming, and shop management accounts have been checked in spring, and there are no major problems.

Compared with last year, the overall loss is still there, but the bright line can be kept at the same level. As for the dark line, Madam knows that this is a non-profitable investment. "

In Pengcheng, in the General's Mansion, 16-year-old Guo Zhao is already slim and charming, and her emerald green dress also highlights her proud figure.

If they meet again, she is very confident that Lin Mo will not call her Xiao Mantou anymore.

Of course, compared to Lu Lingqi, she can only keep her head down.

Sitting on the main seat and listening to Guo Zhao's report on Hongxiu Zhao's recent situation, Lu Lingqi rested her chin on her hands lazily. This posture allowed her to rest her chest on the table, which made her feel much more relaxed.

"Naturally, the dark line cannot generate profits, but it is still very good that the open line can be flat."

Lu Lingqi closed the ledger and looked at Guo Zhao, "How many people can use it?"

"There are eight of them, all with good looks, outstanding dancing skills, and most importantly, they are loyal."

"not enough."

Lu Lingqi frowned slightly, "We need to speed up the progress of training, my husband spent too much money on Hongxiu, so it's okay if I can't help all the time."

"Madam, don't worry, the slaves will step up their selection." Guo Zhao is like an excellent worker who never complains.

"Thank you, let's go down." Lu Lingqi bowed her body, and wanted to get up and go back to her room to rest. Guo Zhao immediately stepped forward to help her in a sensible way.

As Lu Lingqi's belly got bigger and bigger, the heavy responsibility of Hongxiu Zhao fell on Guo Zhao's shoulders alone.

Moreover, the hidden line of the red sleeve trick is the highest level of secrets, and it cannot be faked by others, so Lu Lingqi's perception of this girl who hides her husband in her heart is much better.

Not long after returning to the room, the maid in the yard knocked on the door lightly.

"Miss, a messenger has arrived."

"Where did you come from?" Lu Lingqi, who had just lay down, asked impatiently.

"Qingzhou."

"Bring it in."

Hearing the word Qingzhou, Lu Lingqi got up immediately.

When I opened the letter, it was indeed written by Lin Mo.

"Ling'er sees that Xin is well, she hasn't seen her for several months, she misses her very much, she wanted to go home and have a blind date with Ling'er, but now it seems that she may need to postpone it for a while.

But Ling'er doesn't have to worry about the safety of my father-in-law and I in the Northland. Although we don't have many troops in the Northland, we will be able to control Jizhou and Qingzhou in a short time. Youzhou is also under my deployment. It is estimated that within half a year It can pacify the land of the three states and lay down half of the country for Ling'er.

As for when I will be able to go home, I guess it will be within half a year, but there are many treacherous villains here in the North Kingdom, and they need to be suppressed in exchange for the long-term peace and stability of the North Kingdom.

I miss you very much every day in Beiguo, and I also miss our child. I have thought about it. If you are pregnant with a girl, you will call her Lin Zhi. I hope she will be sought after forever like Lin Zhi; Lin Chuan, I hope he has great ambitions.

The short book cannot say that Ling'er must take good care of herself and wait for her husband to return. "

When Lin Mo wrote letters to other people, they were very official and in line with the language of this era.

But this letter to Lu Lingqi always feels like a love letter when I read it.

It's not very serious, but Lu Lingqi's heart is full of joy.

The young couple have been separated for almost half a year, how can they not miss it.

She pursed her wet lips, her cheeks were rosy, and she glanced at the words 'to lay down half of the world for Ling'er' again, her heartbeat also accelerated a bit.

Indulging in happiness for a while, I carefully put away the letter and put it in my arms.

This is a family letter written by my husband, of course I have to carry it with me.

Guo Zhao, who returned to the Lin Mansion, was still seriously thinking about how to cultivate enough dark lines faster.

There is no doubt about Lin Mo's kindness to her, and this hidden line of red sleeve tricks that is about life and death has been handed over to her, which can be seen.

Recently, she also felt Lu Lingqi's kindness towards her. Although she didn't say anything, she didn't treat her coldly like before.

Perhaps, she has also begun to accept herself.

She seemed to be able to foresee her future as expected.

But also because of this, she needs to work tirelessly to take care of the red sleeve move.

As the main wife, Lu Lingqi gave Lin Mo a stage to show his talent, which is a chance to change his life.

Then, as a little maid who wants to stay by Lin Mo's side for the rest of her life, she can't make people feel useless, so of course she has to share their worries.

Guo Zhao was lying on Lin Mo's favorite lazy chair, thinking seriously about the current situation and future of Hongxiu Zhao, when he suddenly heard someone knock on the door.

"Girl, here is your letter." After opening the door, a sergeant handed her a sealed silk cloth.

"Thank you."

Guo Zhao was a little puzzled, as if no one had ever written to him.

She returned to the lazy chair and lifted the seal, her delicate face froze.

"Xiao Mantou Zhao'er, I haven't seen you for a long time. I'm not going to tell you if you miss your young master. You miss you very much. I miss your red lips and your tenderness."

Just seeing this, Guo Zhao's cheeks were already flushed, and his heart was pounding like a deer.

Although Lin Mo would be rude to her on weekdays, he had never said these words so bluntly that people couldn't look directly at them.

The most important thing is, you have never tasted it, so why miss it.

After a while, Guo Zhao adjusted the violent chest ups and downs, and continued to look down.

"If there are no accidents, we will be able to take control of the Northern Kingdom within half a year, but this matter cannot be done by ourselves, and we need to pretend to others. The situation we will face will be much more complicated than when we were in Pengcheng, and it will be dangerous. a lot of.

Therefore, I urgently need the support from the dark line of Hongxiu Zhao. I know that you are taking care of Hongxiu Zhao now, so you have to work harder. You must give me twenty absolutely reliable people within half a year. "

Guo Zhao sighed lightly. There are eight available on hand, and it is very difficult to recruit another twelve within half a year.

The number of war widows and refugees gathered in the Red Sleeve Tricks has exceeded [-] people, but this is the bright line, and there is no one in a million who meets the dark line.

According to Lin Mo's request, they must be outstanding in appearance, dabble in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and must find a corresponding noble status for them. The most important thing is to be absolutely loyal, which is very difficult.

Ever since she was by Lin Mo's side, she never had an excuse for Lin Mo's request, as long as he asked, she would give it.

So Guo Zhaozong felt the pressure was great, and he didn't hesitate at all.

"Zhao'er, every time we see you again, you will be different. This is the eighteenth change of the female university. When I come back from the Northland, please put down the matter of the red sleeve trick and burn a bucket of heat for the young master first. Water, let me feel your slender fingers again."

The imaginative words made Guo Zhao, who was lying on the lazy chair, short of breath, and always felt that there was an ant crawling on her body, which made her itchy all over.

She bit her red lips tightly and embraced the silk cloth, thinking that her technique should not be unfamiliar.

"Miss Ying'er, it's been two years since the poetry meeting. Miss Zeng Ying's spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. That's when you and I met. However, in the torrent of troubled times, many things are not up to me, so I keep procrastinating. , I hope the girl will forgive me.

Since we parted from the girl, your every frown and smile are always in my heart, and the sound of nature is always lingering in my ears. Recently, I learned to use bowls and chopsticks to produce melodies with a different person. Compared with the girl's superb piano skills, it is natural Xiaodao, but I hope to have the opportunity to play and listen to the girl.

Now I am in the northern kingdom, fighting against the rebels for the imperial court, I have nothing else to do to prevent me from going south, and I will make an appointment with the girl under the moon immediately. "

"Miss Wan'er, every year when the peach blossoms bloom, I will think of someone. Although I like her very much, I don't want her to know, because I understand that what I can't get is always the best.

Recently, I inadvertently invented a kind of sparkling water. When I blow it, there will be bursts of floating air bubbles. It is colorful and beautiful in the sun, just like your charming eyes. The thing is given to the girl, not for the smile of Bo Hongyan, but only for the girl to forgive me for not being able to make the promise of spring flowers blooming. "

Lujiang, Wan County, next to the waterside pavilion in the backyard of the Qiao family.

Two girls in long white gauze dresses, who are like orchids, and whose skin is as fine as snow, are sitting on the porch.

They held a piece of silk cloth with each other, looking at the lotus in front of them, a little dazed.

"Sister, sister, let me see what Lanlinghou wrote to you in the letter." Qiao Wan was very happy after reading the letter, but felt that the letter was too short, so that she didn't like her sister Qiao Ying's letter. Here comes the interest.

The bold words in the letter made Qiao Ying a little confused, she hurriedly put away the silk cloth to protect her chest, and then asked, "Let's take a look at yours first."

"No, let's look at yours first."

"Looking at your radiant heart, it seems that you have forgiven him?"

"Forgive me, I just think he forgot about us."

At the beginning, it was agreed that the day when the spring is warm and the flowers bloom will be the time when we will meet each other, but two years have passed, but I have not seen him come to the door.

At the beginning, Xiao Qiao only felt that maybe Lin Mo was busy with official duties and couldn't take time off, but later on he didn't even hear from him, so he just gave up, thinking it was Lin Mo's perfunctory.

That's right, after all, they are famous for their talents, and they are also young people who have achieved great ambitions. They were granted the title of Marquis of Lanling, so why do they still remember their sisters?

So the two sisters once had some grudges against Lin Mo.

Now that I saw Lin Mo's letter, the displeasure accumulated in my heart disappeared after reading the content.

Instead, there was a glimmer of expectation.

With this expectation, the two daughters got up and prepared to go back to the room, so they could put away Lin Mo's letter. If someone reads it, and Qiao Jiangnan's big and small talk with others like this, then the Qiao family will be ashamed up.

"Zi Yang, I can't accept this matter. Although the Qiao family is not a famous family, I don't agree to let my second daughter be a concubine."

"Mr. Qiao, it's not my intention alone. It's because scholars from the three counties in Huainan are writing to me one after another. I'm here with the expectation of others. Please think carefully, Mr. Qiao."

Let's be concubines?
Just kidding, in the past two years, so many famous sons and gentlemen have come to propose marriage and have ignored them. Even the Gu family from the four major families in Jiangdong has come, and they are still unmoved, and they want us to be concubines?
They couldn't see who their father was arguing with, but the voice seemed to be that of an old acquaintance, Lujiang prefect Liu Ye.

The second daughter, who didn't dare to go in to find out, could only stick her ear to the bedside to see what they would say next.

"Zi Yang, my second daughter is quite well-known in the south of the Yangtze River, so it's hard to obey my concubine's affairs."

Mr. Qiao's tone was unquestionable, as if he had made up his mind. Liu Ye could only sigh, "This matter is related to the future and lifeline of all the scholars in the three counties of Huainan. As the leader of all the sages, Mr. Qiao really wants to sit idly by." Reasonable?"

There was a flash of hesitation in Qiao Gong's eyes, his tone was a little slow, and he said in a deep voice: "He is not so capable."

"Mr. Qiao doesn't know something. Zhang Wenyuan held a celebration banquet in Anfeng recently. He already stated that Chen Deng was the first to defeat Cao. It's just that Cao's army has not retreated. After this battle, Lu Bu will definitely reward Chen Deng."

Liu Ye spoke earnestly, but he could only patiently explain slowly, "Mr. Qiao should know that the three counties in Huainan today are all decided by our own people. Even in Anfeng County, Chen Deng is just a prefect in name, and there are many things he can control. limited.

But all of this is due to Lin Mo's acquiescence behind the scenes to come to today's field.

Mr. Qiao, please think carefully. An Neng did not ask for power because of Chen Deng’s great achievements. He was humiliated in Huainan. He may not be willing to return to Xuzhou right now. If you lose people, our Huainan clan will be completely at a disadvantage in the contest between the Huainan clan and the Xuzhou scholars. "

Liu Ye's words were of course reasonable. He was the one who solved the Qiao family's predicament at the beginning, so it should be reciprocated.

But he couldn't accept Xiao Qiao as a concubine.

But after listening to Liu Ye's analysis, he felt the seriousness of the matter again.

Today's Chen Deng has been excluded in Anfeng. Whether he wants to admit it or not, this incident has intensified the struggle between Huainan scholars and Xuzhou scholars.

Right now, he is still in a relatively balanced situation. If he takes advantage of this great achievement to replace officials below the county magistrate, Xuzhou's forces will completely penetrate Huainan, and he will only slow down step by step in the future.

Therefore, Huainan scholar wanted to use big and small Qiao to hug Lin Mo's thigh.

"One more thing, I have received definite news that Yuan Shang has been completely reduced to the puppet of Marquis Wen, and the northern kingdom will change hands soon. Mr. Qiao, if we cannot win the battle with the scholars of Xuzhou, we will face the noble families of the northern kingdom in the future. I'm afraid they will be even more unable to hold their heads up."

I understand, what they mean by being a concubine is to be a concubine for Lin Mo.

Joe and Joe, who were eavesdropping outside the window, looked at each other, but they didn't read panic from each other's eyes, but looked calm.

It seems that this decision is also quite good.

Liu Ye has raised the marriage between the younger Qiao and Lin Mo to the height of the future and destiny of Huainan scholars, so it is naturally impossible for Mr. Qiao not to think about it.

The struggle between the family is very cruel, especially if the family in the cross-state county shows weakness, it is likely to be suppressed or even annexed.

Right now, the scholars in the three counties in Huainan are very united. Of course, this is due to the contribution of Mr. Qiao, but most of the time, Liu Ye is the leader. This royal descendant has truly become the leader of Huainan scholars. .

Today, he took the initiative to come to the door, and it is estimated that the matter has indeed reached a critical point.

Grandpa Qiao sighed. Marriages between aristocratic families have always been victims of politics, and they cannot be escaped after all. "Could it be that there is really no other way but to wrong Ying'er and Wan'er?"

Hearing that Mr. Qiao seemed to be letting go, Liu Ye said solemnly, "Mr. Qiao, I have thought about this matter seriously. At the poetry meeting, Yunwen treated the daughter of the Qiao family very favorably. Apart from her two, I really can't think of anything else that could move me." It's Yunwen.

What's more, although Yunwen is the son-in-law of Marquis Wen, no one with a discerning eye would know that he is already the actual person in power in the land of two states, and even the future Northland.

The daughter of the Qiao family will not feel wronged if she marries him as a concubine. "

After Liu Ye said that, although there was helplessness in Qiao Gong's eyes, he also knew that there was indeed no way to stabilize the future and destiny of scholars than marriage.

After a long time, he said softly: "Go and do it."

Liu Ye breathed a sigh of relief, bowed and said, "On behalf of Huainan scholars, I would like to thank Mr. Qiao for fulfilling this task. I will take care of this matter myself."
