After seeing An Dashun and An Chengtai off, Lu Ming began to ponder in front of the map.
Half an hour later, Lu Ming came out of the reception room, looked at the luxurious wooden door of the next room, thought for a moment, shook his head and walked over.
Hong Ling, who was standing by the door and had a strong waist, hurriedly pushed the door open, and Lu Ming walked in.
The interior was magnificent, and a soap opera was playing on the color TV. This was the Longwei brand color TV officially mass-produced by Pangu Electric. However, in the Northern Territory, only Kunlun TV transmitted programs with color signals during certain periods of time.
On the long sofa, several young ladies were probably not paying attention to the TV. When Lu Ming came in, they all stood up.
They are all beautiful women with different styles.
They were all gifts. In addition to rare treasures, Ren Zhonglin from Longbei sent two people and Miao Baifeng sent three people.
Lu Ming has become numb to this. This is just the kind of world he is in. In fact, let alone his current status in this world, even in his previous life, when he was a powerful and wealthy man in his prime, experiencing hundreds of women was nothing but child's play for him. It's just that the general public cannot be exposed to these things.
I don’t care now. I only have a few relatives who really care about me. As for the rest, I just do whatever I want.
In fact, looking at the women sent by Ren Zhonglin, you will know that one of them is his most beloved concubine, Bai Shuixian, who is known as the most beautiful woman in Longan.
In this world, among the powerful and wealthy, women are really just objects.
But Ren Zhonglin was willing to give up on me only because he really wanted to make friends with me.
Bai Narcissus was indeed a beauty. Not only was she a famous drama actress, she was also good at singing and dancing, and she was also very capable. After being taken as a concubine by Ren Zhonglin, she quickly showed her talent as a housekeeper, helping the first lady with housework, and soon gained the first lady's trust and favor, and even helped manage the Ren family's property.
Precisely because she was no ordinary person, the Military Intelligence Department made a special briefing on her, which Lu Ming read carefully.
When visiting Longbei and having secret talks with Ren Zhonglin, Bai Shuixian was present at other times, except when the most confidential matters were discussed in a secret room between the two of them. This also shows the trust Ren Zhonglin had in her.
He did praise her a few words, but he didn't expect that she would be sent to the Snow Viewing Garden by Ren Zhonglin.
Obviously, after meeting Her Royal Highness Princess Alice, Ren Zhonglin thought it was meaningless to send an ordinary woman as a gift. So, maybe his beloved woman, who was so beautiful and talented, could make His Royal Highness the Prince feel his sincerity.
When I met him the next day, I wanted to send Bai Shuixian back, but Ren Zhonglin said that it was too late to take back what had been done. What would it mean to go back to him now? He even said that, in fact, sending Bai Shuixian to me was also for Bai Shuixian's own good. He was old, and there was no point in wasting a girl's best years. Bai Shuixian was only 22 years old, one year younger than you, Your Highness. Following you was the best destination I could arrange for her.
He said that he had just married Her Royal Highness the Princess and had come to Longbei with Her Royal Highness the Princess, so he would not be so absurd as to take in a concubine.
Ren Zhonglin said, then I will give you the most capable assistant, but he must be a young person with good character.
I also asked, don’t you have a close confidant named Commissioner Zhang, who was very popular and capable when he was in Shengjing.
In this way, the white daffodil was given to "myself".
Moreover, Ren Zhonglin sent two women at that time. Giving Bai Shuixian was unusual, but he probably thought it was a double insurance. What if Prince Lu felt that Bai Shuixian was not a virgin and disliked her
The other girl is the campus beauty of Longbei No. 1 University. Her name is Xue Zihan, a name she gave herself after entering university.
Her family was poor, and her uncle saw that she was very smart since childhood, so he paid for her education, hoping that after she graduated from university, she could marry into a wealthy family.
Ren Zhonglin sent someone to tell the matter and immediately sold his niece.
At this time, Lu Ming was looking at Bai Shuixian and Xue Zihan. Bai Shuixian had picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and skin like cream. Her hair was tied up with a hairpin and her black bangs were tied up in a bun. It was a charming hairstyle that combined modern and ancient styles. She was wearing a rose-red satin dress, and her small red mandarin duck embroidered shoes were visible under the skirt. Her beautiful eyes were particularly stinging. She was a charming and lovely beauty. Xue Zihan was wearing a blue jacket, black skirt, white socks and black leather shoes. She looked like a student. She had the temperament of a beautiful female student in the Republic of China. Her facial features were delicate and she was very beautiful.
Lu Ming looked to the other side again, at the three girls sent by Madam Miao.
They are of prominent backgrounds. They are the newly married sisters Kan Shouxi and Kan Shouyi, the second wives of An Minghan, the thirteenth son of An Laoheng.
The Kan family is also a big family in Anshan, and is now considered to be a party of Madam Miao. However, An Minghan was imprisoned, and the Kan family was forced to agree to send the sisters to the Prince of Black Mountain Fort. This was considered to completely severing ties with An Minghan and also a show of loyalty.
For Mrs. Miao, it was a win-win situation. Not only did it completely distance the Kan family from An Minghan, but it also showed that the famous pair of sisters were indeed beautiful.
She probably had similar ideas to Ren Zhonglin. To the Prince of Black Mountain Castle, beauties in the eyes of the world would probably not be rare. On the contrary, other people's wives, especially the powerful wives who had status and position, could give him a sense of conquest.
However, as a double insurance, a very beautiful girl named Shangguan Yusuo was also sent here together with the Kan sisters. She looked like a virgin at first glance, but like the Kan sisters, she was wearing a cheongsam, which was somewhat inconsistent with her childish look.
According to the introduction on the gift list, Shangguan Yusuo is the most beautiful girl selected by the tribe in the mountains of Anshan. She was originally sent to Anshan City for marriage, and is now presented to His Royal Highness the Prince.
Now, all of them were transferred to Commissioner Zhang by the prince.
Nodding to the girls, Lu Ming said, "You all just arrived here, take a good rest for a few days, and I will figure out how to accommodate you."
I'm completely numb. Previously there were six fire maidens, and now there are five beauties from the Northern Territory. I'll try my best to make use of them and assign them some errands. They can be considered as civil servants. These screws are also needed for the operation of the huge system.
Moreover, if one manages the Northern Territory, these people and the families behind them might come in handy.
"Yes!" Several women agreed, but their eyes had different expressions.
Just as Lu Ming was about to turn around and leave, Bai Shuixian took two quick steps towards him and bowed slightly, "Master..."
Hmm? Lu Ming looked at her.
Bai Narcissus smiled gently and said, "There seems to be some dirt on the master's collar. Let me help you..." She picked up the snow-white handkerchief and wiped it gently.
The fragrance is refreshing and very pleasant.
Lu Ming knew in his heart that Bai Narcissus must be a little frustrated with her current situation. She went from being the most beloved concubine of the provincial commander, to being considered as his wife in terms of status, to helping the official wife hold the keys and manage the commander's property, to being sent to the prince as a concubine. In fact, her illusion of being "like a lady" had been shattered, and her real status was no different from that of a slave.
And now, it was transferred to his subordinates by the prince, and his status plummeted completely.
But she was not discouraged. She began to face the reality and make herself visible to Commissioner Zhang and leave a deep impression on him.
Lu Ming smiled at her: "Okay, come with me and talk to you."
Bai Shuixian's beautiful eyes showed joy, and she was affectionate and a little flattered. She said delicately, "Yes!"
Lu Ming was helpless. As expected of a famous actor in the theatre industry, his acting skills were impeccable.
An ordinary man would definitely be intoxicated by her rich and colorful expressions at this time, thinking that this beauty is so submissive to you and respects and loves you with all her heart.
Lu Ming turned and walked out, and Bai Narcissus followed closely behind him in small steps.
Next door is also a magnificent room, which seems to be a music room with a record player. The middle is empty, which should be the dance floor.
Lu Ming never paid any attention to the purpose of this suite that occupied the entire top floor of the Red Rose Hotel and was over a thousand square meters, or the maze-like rooms.
After Lu Ming and Bai Narcissus came in, Hong Ling outside closed the door.
"Master, you must have attended university and be an excellent student, right? Your dancing skills must be first-rate. Unfortunately, I am an outdated woman who was influenced by the old civilization and I can't dance..." Looking at the layout here, Bai Narcissus's pretty face was full of yearning, and even seemed to be a little pitiful and self-pitying.
If it were another man, as long as he was not heartless, he would probably say "I'll teach you" at this moment.
Lu Ming waved his hand: "I know you are very capable. There is a saying that goes, beautiful appearances are all the same, but interesting souls are rare. You are one of those with interesting souls. What I want to talk to you about is the military and political affairs of Longbei."
Bai Shuixian was stunned when she heard Lu Ming's words and murmured, "Beautiful appearance? Interesting soul?"
Lu Ming coughed and said to himself, "Don't let this beauty try to seduce me, but instead make me fall in love with her. I don't have the energy to deal with all this. These women who come and go like a revolving lantern are not worthy of my emotional investment."
"I know that you and Marshal Ren have a deep relationship, so if your words about Longbei affairs are not entirely true, I don't blame you."
Hearing "Marshal Ren", Bai Shuixian's pretty face darkened, and the mask on her body seemed to collapse powerlessly at this moment. She no longer had any expression to control, and sighed softly, "I don't know anything. How could I know about the Marshal's military affairs? I participated in the secret talk between the Marshal and His Royal Highness, and it was the first time I participated in military affairs. Now I know that the Marshal has other plans."
Lu Ming looked at her expression and said, "Marshal Ren is not as heartless as you think. He just wants you to have a good home. But it was a coincidence that you ended up in my mansion!"
The topic they wanted to talk about seemed to be inappropriate in this atmosphere, so Lu Ming stood up and said, "Let's talk about it another day. Actually, my mansion does need someone to take care of it. My wife is studying in another city and is not good at managing the household... Well, let's talk about it later!"
Bai Shuixian was obviously also in a state of emotional upheaval at the moment, and she did not take advantage of the situation, but just said softly, "Yes."
