Time Travel to 1859: The Iron-Blooded Soldier King

Liu Ye's mouth twitched, and he whispered, "Boss, are you sure the one in my family won't make trouble with me?"

this……

Guo Songtao also felt a toothache. Dong E, that was Mr. Dong's daughter. Putting aside other things, her abilities were genuine. If she turned against him, everything would be ruined!

Guo Songtao replied, "My dear brother, that depends on your ability. It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Now you are a second-rank official. The sister of the Dong family should understand. That girl is not unreasonable..."

Three wives and four concubines?

Liu Ye thought to himself, I already have three targets now, one of whom is the high and mighty Empress Dowager. These two are not easy targets. What about the delicate Miss Zheng? I really wonder how she will die. It's not like she can just serve me with clothes and food and be safe. Women are the most sensitive and vicious.

Guo Songtao saw that Liu Ye was still feeling a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Well, it's getting late now, let's eat first, and we can talk about these things later!"

After Guo Songtao finished speaking, he raised his hands and clapped his hands crisply.

A few servants came up, set up the table and chairs, and soon started serving food and wine.

Liu Ye had been driving for most of the day and was actually feeling a bit hungry. Seeing the table full of sumptuous food and wine, his appetite was whetted. He said with a smile, "Okay, in that case, let's eat first. I'm really hungry. Xiao Hai, Gao Qi, both of you come sit up. We're family, no need to be so restrained!"

The brothers immediately sat down with smiles on their faces and started to eat.

Liu Ye took a few bites of food with his chopsticks and was quite surprised. The food and wine on the table were very delicious and not something that ordinary people could make!

Liu Ye smiled and said, "Brother, it's amazing that such delicious food can be found in such a small area like Gaotang Prefecture."

Guo Songtao smiled and said, "Really? Not bad, right? Haha, when I first tasted it, I was also extremely surprised. Not to mention Gaotang Prefecture, even in Jinan, it would be difficult to eat such delicious food..."

Gao Qi, who was standing by, sighed, "What a shame! We're leaving Gaotang the day after tomorrow. Just thinking about having to continue eating those pig food in the barracks has made me lose my appetite."

In the Green Camp, the meals prepared by the soldiers in charge of cooking were just so-so. As long as there were steamed buns, rapeseed, and some soup with oil, it was considered pretty good. At most, they would be given some pork. After years in the army, everyone's appetite had long since died.

Liu Ye was also somewhat tempted. Even though he was now a governor, his original residence was basically full of men. How could there be any delicious food?

Liu Ye smiled and said, "In that case, let's take this chef and bring him back to Jinan. Whenever you guys want to eat, you can just come to my house and eat and drink for free. You can also save a lot of money on food..."

Liu Ye had just finished speaking when a delicate voice rang out from outside the door: "I, Zheng Qingxue, would like to thank His Excellency the Governor..."

puff!

Liu Ye spat out the entire glass of wine that he had just poured into his mouth, and looked at Guo Songtao with a resentful look on his face. Damn it, this guy had dug a hole in advance, and now he buried himself in it!

Yes, it was Guo Songtao's idea. Guo Songtao and Zheng Yi were acquainted with each other and had quite a friendship. Otherwise, he would not have been so sad and angry when he saw Zheng Yi's body.

Now that my old friend has died for his country and his entire family has perished, leaving only this little girl behind, I would be heartbroken if I ignored her. But, should I bring her with me? That would also be very inconvenient. What would happen to my future?

Thinking of his sworn brother, he couldn't help but have the idea of ​​matchmaking. Even if she couldn't become the wife of the governor, and could be a co-wife or a concubine, this girl wouldn't be buried. After all, this brother had a bright future. In the future, he would become the head of the military affairs council, be crowned a king, and be honored with a title. If he could find a husband like this, I'm afraid Brother Zheng Yi would be satisfied in his grave.

What made Guo Songtao even more satisfied was that his brother was a man of loyalty and righteousness. If the two of them really got together, Liu Ye would definitely not treat them unfairly.

Guo Songtao chuckled wickedly and said, "My Lord Governor, you said that. I didn't force you. This Qingxue girl is really good. She comes from a family of scholars and is quite talented. I, Zheng Yi, have given her all my knowledge. When we were in the capital, she often boasted to me about her. This time, you are lucky enough to get her..."

Liu Ye was speechless and said, "Brother, is this what a brother or uncle should do?"

Gao Qi on the side said happily: "Sir, this is great news. Not only will you accept such a delicate beauty, but in the future, not only will our brothers be able to enjoy a feast, but you will also be able to enjoy the privilege of being close to her. Hehe, this is a blessing that others cannot enjoy, hehe..."

Zhu Hai tugged at Gao Qi's clothes and whispered in her ear, "I've written this down. When Sister Dong'e comes back, I'll tell her exactly what she said..."

Gao Qi's face turned pale immediately, and he stammered, "Xiao Hai, we can't harm others like this. I can't afford to offend that lady..."

Liu Ye said helplessly, "My Lord, wouldn't you settle my niece in your house first? Well, my house doesn't even have a sow, let alone a woman. How inconvenient would that be?"

Guo Songtao understood that Liu Ye was plotting something. He smiled and said, "Brother, don't say I'm giving in to you. That girl said she'd be willing to work like a slave for the rest of her life for anyone who avenged her. I'm just her uncle, so I was able to enjoy such a delicious meal yesterday. Do you think anyone can enjoy her delicacies? She's determined to follow you. What do you think we should do?"

Liu Ye nodded. How could he not wish for such a delicate little beauty to wait on him, with clothes and food provided for him? How comfortable would that be? He could also have a beautiful woman by his side while he studied at night. The thought of it was heart-warming. This wasn't a hundred years from now when he would have to have a wife. In this era, marrying a wife was a real shame to him!

Zheng Qingxue, dressed in plain clothes, had already walked in. Although her face was bare, her graceful figure and eyes as clear as autumn water made people feel pity and heartache for her.

Zheng Qingxue said in a delicate voice, "Master Futai, I thank you for avenging my family's annihilation. As I said before, I am willing to serve you like an ox or a horse, even if it means being a servant by your side. I will not hesitate!"
