Zhuo family.
Cai Si reported:
"Master, the high official Ximen Qing of Yanggu County and his wife Wu Yueniang are here to visit!"
"Why are they here?"
When Su Mingzhe heard the message about the visitor, he was slightly startled and looked at Mrs. Zhuo.
Mrs. Zhuo was also a little confused. After all, after Wu Yueniang got married, she had no contact with Wu Yueniang for many years except for seeing him during the Chinese New Year.
However, after seeing Su Mingzhe's confused eyes, Mrs. Zhuo quickly replied:
"Wu Yueniang is my cousin, and her father is the former guard master of our Yanggu County. Wu Kai, the current guard of Yanggu County, is my cousin and Wu Yueniang's eldest brother!"
Also benefiting from the many bandits in Shandong, the Guangji Army on the East and West Roads of Beijing were stationed in all the counties below.
Yanggu County is one of the four garrison counties under the original Yunzhou (now Dongping Prefecture).
Wu Kai, who was stationed in Yanggu County, had the same official title as the County-level Military Supervisor. He was supposed to have a thousand soldiers and horses under his command, but as usual, he received 60% free pay, so in fact there were only three to four hundred men.
When Su Mingzhe heard that Ximen Qing and Mrs. Zhuo were actually related by marriage, he couldn't stop the other party from entering, so he could only wave his hand and ask Sister Zhuo to take her younger sister to the east wing for shelter.
Not long after.
Mrs. Zhuo welcomed Ximen Qing and Wu Yueniang into the door. Su Mingzhe greeted them with a smile, and inadvertently glanced at Wu Yueniang, and his eyes suddenly lit up:
This Ximen Qing is really lucky!
Before Wu Yueniang married Ximen Qing, she had a husband. Unfortunately, that man was not very lucky. He only lived with her for two or three years, and then he died.
When she was in her twenties, Wu Yueniang remarried Ximen Qing, and she is now in her thirties.
Although her body has lost the slenderness, youthfulness, and cuteness of a girl, Wu Yueniang has taken good care of herself. Not only is her appearance still beautiful, her skin is fair and tender, but her figure is plump, like a ripe peach, which seems to flow continuously after one bite. Water comes.
What an extremely beautiful young woman!
Ximen Qing is still looking around for Sister Zhuo, wanting to see how beautiful the former yellow-haired girl is now.
Little did he know that his wife Wu Yueniang could hardly be saved.
The two men with ulterior motives looked at each other and smiled in unison.
In the end, Ximen Qing brought Wu Yueniang for a visit, but returned without success in front of the prepared Su Mingzhe.
After sending Ximenqing and his wife off, Su Mingzhe sighed and said:
"For Wu Yueniang's sake, Ximen Qing, I'm determined to be your friend!"
Two days passed.
Before Su Mingzhe left with Second Sister Zhuo, he suddenly proposed to invite Mrs. Zhuo and Third Sister Zhuo to his home.
Mrs. Zhuo and Third Sister Zhuo naturally agreed wholeheartedly. They also wanted to see what was going on in Su Mingzhe's family and where Second Sister Zhuo lived.
And wait until night.
After Mrs. Zhuo and Third Sister Zhuo arrived at Shuibo Liangshan Village, they were stunned:
"So my son-in-law (brother-in-law) is a Liangshan bandit?"
Third Sister Zhuo was the first to react, and then her phoenix eyes shone brightly.
It seems that Su Mingzhe's identity as a bandit is very attractive.
Second Sister Zhuo already knew the identity of the man. She was afraid that her mother would not be able to accept her identity as a man, so she quickly tried to persuade her.
After a while, Mrs. Zhuo sighed with a sad face:
"Jeju Su Mingzhe's name is quite big... I should have thought of it a long time ago!"
No matter what Mrs. Zhuo thinks, the deal is already done and it's too late to break off the engagement.
Su Mingzhe arranged the residences of Mrs. Zhuo and Third Sister Zhuo, and took Second Sister Zhuo to meet the third daughter Jin Cuilian.
In terms of age, Second Sister Zhuo is twenty-two, Jin Cuilian is eighteen, Pan Jinlian and Bai Yulian are both sixteen, so Sanlian should be called Second Sister Zhuo.
However, Second Sister Zhuo came later, and Jin Cuilian followed Su Mingzhe first.
In the end, the four girls followed the order of succession and made the second sister Zhuo the fourth.
The woman has been arranged.
Late October.
Su Mingzhe rushed to Bianliang with four personal guards.
"Master, there is an inn in front of you. It looks good! Across the street is the famous Fan Tower..."
Cai Si smiled and introduced the customs and customs of Bianliang City to his village master.
Su Mingzhe is no stranger to Bianliang.
However, the Bianliang City he knew was the one in "The Eight Parts of the Dragon", and it seemed to have nothing to do with the Bianliang City in this world.
In the "Tian Long Ba Bu" plane, Su Mingzhe replaced Song Zhezong and lived in Bianliang City for decades.
Under his governance, although Bianliang City could not be called the most civilized city in the world, it was definitely one of the most civilized cities in the world.
The only cancer in Bianliang City at that time was the city fox and rat that could not be eradicated.
Looking at Bianliang City today, although there are still many foxes and rats in the city, the biggest scourge is the powerful and powerful people who are supposed to maintain the rule.
"Zhao Jiji is really not suitable to be an emperor, but he still has such a long life!"
"It is totally unreasonable for the Northern Song Dynasty not to perish!"
Checked into the inn.
Cai Si wanted to invite Su Mingzhe to play in Fan Tower.
"Fan Lou is in no hurry to go!"
It was not like Su Mingzhe had never been to Fan Lou before, so he asked directly:
"Do you know where Master Li lives?"
Li Shishi is not the name of a certain woman, but the signboard of a prostitute.
In this brothel, every oiran is called Master Li.
Seeing that Su Mingzhe actually knew the four famous courtesans in Kaifeng, Cai Si immediately gave a thumbs up:
"My master is so well-informed! I just found out that Fengle House will choose a new generation of oiran tonight!"
The brothel where Master Li lived was called Fengle Building.
When Su Mingzhe heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up:
"What a coincidence!"
Then he told Cai Si to go and find a place for him.
Su Mingzhe thought for a while and then said:
"Cai Si, after you have made a reservation, go and inquire about the location of Coach Lin's father-in-law's house. After we meet Master Li, we will take Coach Zhang and his family out of Bianliang City!"
The time soon came to night.
Su Mingzhe, led by Cai Si, came to the noisy and lively Fengle Building.
Fengle Building is right next to Fan Building, and it looks like the auxiliary courtyard of Fan Building.
Because tonight is the night when a new generation of courtesan comes out, powerful and wealthy businessmen from all walks of life gather.
When a turtle man welcoming guests saw Su Mingzhe coming to the door, he quickly blocked the way with a smile and asked:
"Sir, have you made a reservation?"
Before Su Mingzhe could speak, Cai Si next to him took out a sign and said arrogantly:
"Already booked, Hanyan Pavilion!"
“It turns out he’s an honored guest!”
As soon as Mr. Gui heard that it was Hanyan Pavilion, his fair face suddenly burst into laughter.
Hanyan Pavilion is one of the four major private rooms in Fengle Building. It sells for one hundred taels of silver tonight.
Those who can spend a hundred taels of silver to open a box, but when it comes to delivering flower baskets to the oiran, a few of them will have to spend thousands of taels of silver, right?
Immediately, Su Mingzhe was welcomed in by a graceful prostitute and led towards the Hanyan Pavilion.
Behind Su Mingzhe, there was a middle-aged man with a long beard in plain clothes, who also wanted to follow him through the door.
However, this middle-aged man was dressed too plainly and elegantly to hide his bookish air, and he had not booked a private room.
So no matter what he said, the turtle guy at the door wouldn't let him in.
The prostitute who led the way saw Su Mingzhe's puzzled expression, as if he was wondering why Fengle Building didn't let the guests in, so he quickly explained:
"The officials didn't know that a few years ago, when a family was selecting an oiran, the oiran of that generation won the first prize in one fell swoop with the help of a scholar's poems. When the oiran was choosing a husband, he actually insisted on letting the scholar help him comb his hair. In order to offend dozens of powerful and wealthy businessmen."
"Because of this incident, the hook-and-rail business in Bianliang City failed to recover for a long time."
"In recent years, when we choose courtesans here, we have begun to exclude poor scholars from entering!"
