treasure?
Hey, what treasure?
Li Hongbi sneered, showing no interest at all.
Cao Guogong's mansion has a profound foundation, and now it is making money every day. What kind of treasures does it not have?
This is not because Li Hongbi is arrogant, but because he really looks down on Hu Shang's family background.
If he really had any treasure, he would not set up a street stall here and use some dirty tricks to deceive people, even children.
Moreover, even if he was a Hu businessman from Central Asia, even if he brought something from Central Asia, Li Hongbi would not look down upon it, it was just a few gadgets.
Therefore, Li Hongbi was not interested at all.
"Zhu Yong, send someone to take him to Yingtianfu Yamen."
Hearing this, Zhu Yong nodded excitedly.
Soon the guards of Duke Chengguo's Mansion restrained Hu Shang and dragged him away from the crowd.
Seeing that there was no fun to be had, the people watching dispersed on their own.
Only Xu Qin stayed where he was and thanked Li Hongbi profusely.
Touching his little head, Li Hongbi comforted him: "Don't worry, I will help with your family matters. Remember to come to me tomorrow and I will take you to the palace to meet the saint!"
"Now go home honestly, you are still young, it is not the time to worry about this!"
Xu Qin nodded with red eyes, bowed solemnly to Li Hongbi again, and then left with his guards and rushed back to the Duke's Mansion.
Xu Qin was very happy to get help from a noble person, and he couldn't wait to tell his father the good news.
Looking at little Xu Qin's back, Li Hongbi fell into deep thought.
Mei Wanyan came over and took his arm.
"This kid... is so pitiful."
"Ms. sir, have you really decided to intervene in this matter?"
Mei Wanyan still knew about the affairs of the Duke of Wei.
This Duke of Wei is a descendant of Xu Da, King of Zhongshan. Because of General Xu Da’s outstanding contributions to the Ming Dynasty, Duke Wei is the top founding figure of the Ming Dynasty, bar none!
After all, most of the Ming Dynasty was conquered by General Xu Da!
However, during the Battle of Jingnan, Wei Guogong Xu Huizu swore allegiance to Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen to the death. He first led his troops to cover Li Jinglong's retreat in the Battle of Baigou River, and the whole army returned; and then defeated the Yan army in Qimei Mountain, forcing the Yan army to temporarily suspend the attack. started the southward offensive.
Even when the Yan army successfully crossed the river, Xu Huizu still refused to surrender and led his troops to resist tenaciously. After Yan King Zhu Di entered Jinling, Xu Huizu stayed in his father's temple and refused to welcome the new emperor. He was imprisoned for interrogation, but he never said a word. He admired King Yan's intention of proclaiming himself emperor, but was eventually deprived of his salary and title by the angry new emperor, and was imprisoned at home to this day.
In other words, Xu Huizu's situation is the same as that of Li Jinglong before, or even more serious.
After all, Li Jinglong still had the credit for opening the Jinchuan Gate, but Xu Huizu would rather die than surrender!
Therefore, Mei Wanyan was inevitably a little worried, fearing that Li Hongbi would get into trouble.
"It doesn't matter." Li Hongbi smiled and tightened her little hand, "After all, he is the empress's natal family. Xu Huizu is not only the queen of meritorious service, but also the uncle of the current dynasty. Your Majesty still has to take care of some affection."
"When I saw the helpless little Xu Qin, I seemed to see my former self. He was worried and worried about the situation of his own government, so I felt compassion."
"After all, he is a descendant of General Xu Da, King of Zhongshan. If you can help, you should help him. You can't let the world laugh at him."
When Mei Wanyan heard this, her bright eyes suddenly lit up. Looking at the person in front of her, her smile became brighter, but there was a hint of distress hidden deep in her eyes.
It was hard for her to imagine what kind of life the sweetheart in front of her had lived in the past.
I'm afraid that because of his father Li Jinglong, he suffered a lot of unwarranted abuse and humiliation, right?
"Ms. sir, I will accompany you from now on."
Hearing this, Li Hongbi smiled and said, "It's a deal, don't go back on it!"
The couple looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
The two returned to the long street entrance with the three little ones, and Spring Grass and Green Ants immediately greeted them.
When they saw the intimate appearance of Li Hongbi and Mei Wanyan, they were all startled and their faces turned red with embarrassment.
"Miss, you..."
"Get out of here! I'm so embarrassed!"
Mei Wanyan snorted coldly: "No! You still dare to take care of the young lady?"
The two maids were so anxious that they were about to cry. If someone saw this, they would lose their reputation!
Li Hongbi found it very interesting. These two little maids looked so silly and cute.
"Xiaowan, I'm going to Qinhuai, Shili, do you want to go?"
Ten miles from Qinhuai?
what do you mean?
The three little ones on the side were dumbfounded and couldn't help but give a thumbs up to their thief mentor.
Oh my god!
This thief mentor is so brave!
You want to go to a prostitute secretly, but you dare to invite your fiancée to go with you!
Outrageous, outrageous!
Upon hearing this, Mei Wanyan suddenly opened her eyes and felt a little unhappy.
"What did you do... there...?"
"Don't think too much about it. It's because of business. Qinhuai will hold an oiran convention tonight ten miles away!"
Li Hongbi briefly described the affairs of Sheng Yin and Cheng Dieyi, but of course did not disclose the matter of Queen Xu.
After listening to Li Hongbi's explanation, Mei Wanyan smiled again.
"Okay, let's go together!"
"No!" Spring grass screamed.
"Absolutely not!" Green Ant also objected sharply!
How is this possible?
If the young lady really goes to that dirty place like Qinhuai, which is ten miles away, the two of them will be beaten to death by Her Royal Highness the Princess!
"Two silly girls, as long as you don't tell, who will know?"
Li Hongbi smiled and said: "Get in the car quickly and go now, I guess it has already started."
Mei Wanyan nodded to the two girls, and then got into the carriage with Li Hongbi, leaving the two maids looking at each other, and finally got into the carriage helplessly.
Just as they were about to set off, three little ones came running over.
"Teacher, we also want to take a look."
"Yes, mentor, oiran conventions are not common!"
"Azu also wants to see..."
Li Hongbi opened the car curtain and looked at the three little ones with cold eyes.
"If my master finds out, if you step even half a step into Qinhuai, which is ten miles away, I will break your dog legs!"
"Now, immediately, get the hell back to your house!"
Three little ones: "(งᵒ̌ᵒ̌)ง⁼³₌₃"
Dog thief!
What a thief!
oppressive rule!
You, Li Hongbi, are only allowed to have fun with prostitutes, but we are not allowed to see beautiful women!
Bah, nothing!
The three little ones turned and left unhappy, taking the unfortunate Hu Shang with them.
The carriage immediately moved forward, heading straight for Qinhuai, which is ten miles away.
Mei Wanyan smiled and said: "Ms. sir, are you too harsh on them?"
"Xiao Wan, you should know that sage's saying, right? A gentleman's glory will decline in three generations, and will be destroyed in five!"
Li Hongbi rarely put away his smile and said seriously: "In fact, the key to noble children like them, whether they can survive for three generations or survive for five generations, is not how many generations can be passed down, but the ancestral precepts and family tradition."
"Their fathers and ancestors worked hard to achieve success and left them this family legacy. If the younger generations abide by the ancestral precepts and strictly observe the family tradition, they will naturally be able to last for a long time. In this way, three generations and five generations will actually be like one generation."
"But if their descendants do not remember their ancestors' instructions and their family traditions decline, and they only rely on the shadow of their ancestors to dominate and seek pleasure, then after three generations, the favor will gradually decline, and after five generations, the favor will be cut off, and they will not even be able to wait. By the third and fifth generations, it may cause trouble, and the second generation will be gone.”
Among the three disciples, Qiu Song was the first to die.
But it’s not because of his own fault, but because his father Qiu Fu was wiped out in one generation. How can anyone reason with this!
Mei Wanyan squeezed Li Hongbi's big hand. She always felt that her sweetheart always had some sadness hidden in his eyebrows.
"Since these three disciples have become my disciples, I, as the master, must make long-term plans for them!"
"Their fathers are all warriors, so I have to worry more about the family traditions and ancestral traditions. I don't expect these three children to have any great future, I just ask them to be good people and keep this place." Just a share of the family business!"
Mei Wanyan smiled and said, "They are really lucky to have you as their master."
"What about you?" Li Hongbi smiled evilly, "Having such an outstanding husband-in-law like me is also your blessing, right?"
"Bah! You're a bastard!"
The beauty blushed again, she was so beautiful!
