"Hidden tent" 14

Where did Lu Jiuxiao take her?

Shi's mother runs a huge Huaxiang Building, and she curses the powerful every day. She has long grown into a sperm. How could she not know where Lu Jiuxiao picked her up?

As soon as the two of them rode their horses, they left the servant behind and followed them all the way to Xiyuan in Qinghe Lane.

As soon as I inquired, Prince Lu was scattered money everywhere and had countless private houses, Xiyuan was one of them.

But her people were afraid to come into Xiyuan. What did Lu Jiuxiao take her to do? Shi’s mother didn’t know. But when she turned her mind, what could men and women do?

When she was sinking, she pursed her lips and said nothing. This expression fell into Shi Mama's eyes, which was an indescribable shyness.

Mother Shi suddenly laughed "Oh oh oh" and patted the back of her hand lightly, stroked her black hair again, and sighed repeatedly: "You, you have a good face. But this life is better than a face."

If her fate is good, she will not be here.

But in the end, Chen Shizi didn't speak any more. She grabbed the book in her hand and said, "Mom, I'm tired."

Mother Shi immediately let go of her and smiled and said, "Go back to the house and rest."

After saying that, he raised his hand to call the little maid, "Go quickly and prepare a few delicious pastries."

Looking at the little girl's slender and graceful back walking away, Shi Mama sighed with a refreshing sigh, shaking her palm fan and leaning against the mahogany square pillar.

She said to the old lady who was serving her side: "If I could really give someone to Prince Lu, no matter whether she has a status or not, it would be great to be a maid."

After all, under the feet of the emperor, those who do business in flesh and blood can gain a foothold by flattering the powerful.

Who is Lu Jiuxiao? He is a living ancestor who can get a bargain in the hands of the emperor.

After the words came, the peach-red horn behind the pillar settled for a moment.

Wang Qin's brows frowned into a lump, and his hands hanging in his sleeves clenched tightly, turning around and leaving.

When he entered the boudoir, the door of the house was closed, Wang Qin raised his hand and threw the bronze utensil on the yellow wooden rack to the ground.

She stared at the copper vase that had rolled on the ground for several rounds, and a few strands of blood appeared on the whites of her eyes. She felt so sad...

She has been here since she was fourteen years old and before she could even get married. At the age of fifteen, she gave a 50-year-old official to a 50-year-old. She has been working hard for four years, and now she is nineteen!

A beautiful girl of appropriate age was sent to the yard of noble people early on. Whether it was a concubine or a slave, it was much better than serving people here.

But seeing newcomers, one by one, steal her limelight, grab her opportunities, and grab her glory and wealth in the second half of her life!

As for her, she is only worthy of serving Li Er that bastard!

Tell her, how can I bear it? How can I bear it?

Lu Jiuxiao returned to the Hou Mansion in the afterglow of dusk.

He picked up a pot of tea, took a sip, and said to the outsider: "Yin Zhong."

After saying that, Yin Zhong walked forward with his sword in his hand, "Master?"

Lu Jiuxiao shook the tea leaves floating in the teacup, bent his knees and sat at the corner of the table, and asked, "Have you found the doctor you are looking for?"

Yin Zhong scratched his head, saying: "Not yet."

It’s not that he was not dedicated, but that time was really fast. The person who was caring for Gao Xun was a doctor-knowing woman who slid down the corridor half a month ago and sprained her ankle. Because she was old, she had enough energy to do everything.

They could not restrain others, so they sent her back to their hometown. Although Gao Xun was a living dead person, there was not a shortage of sudden illness like today, and there was a time to understand medicine.

But this person is not an ordinary person, and he cannot ask the doctor for treatment as he pleases. If he meets a distorted person and yells around, he may have to surround Xiyuan in less than half a day.

In this way, you have to find someone who keeps your mouth shut. But in this world, the most difficult thing for living people is to keep your mouth shut.

In just half a month, Yin Zhongshi couldn't find a reliable person.

"Master, I'll let you go again-"

"No need, check the people I took to Xiyuan today."

Yin Zhong's eyebrows twitched in shock and blurted out, "Miss Chen?"

Lu Jiuxiao's hand holding the tea lid slightly, oh, is his original surname Chen?

Yin Zhong, a doctor who was harsh in a short time, failed to do it, but it was difficult to find a little girl. In less than two days, even her ancestors could find it clearly.

Yin Zhong dictated what he found from beginning to end when facing the man sitting on the windowsill with his knees bent.

Suddenly, the handle of the fan between Lu Jiuxiao's fingers stopped steadily and landed in the palm of his hand. He slightly turned sideways and said, "Jinzhou?"

Yin Zhong nodded and said, "Yes, Miss Chen's family is engaged in medicinal materials business. There is a medicine shop in Jinzhou. It is quite rich. But in November last year, the Chen family encountered a landslide while transporting goods. She immediately died. It is said that the eldest son of the Shen family is an unreliable person. Not only did he fail to take over his own business, but he lost the whole country. In the end, he asked the people from the gambling house to deduct it. He said that he would not pay off the debt when it expired, so he cut off his hand..."

There is no need to say anything else, and you can guess it. You will sell your daughter and redeem your son with one hand.

Lu Jiuxiao curled his lips and asked with a smile on his neck: "How much do you owe?"

"Fifty-seven taels." Yin Zhong said, frowned and said, "But my master, the neighbors in that area, seemed to be unaware of Miss Chen's mother, Sun, sold the man to the madam, and said that she wanted to be a concubine for a wealthy businessman over 60 years old. She received all the betrothal gifts, but she returned them, saying that Miss Chen was seriously ill and could not marry, so she sent her back to the countryside to take care of her health."

It's really easy to guess the reason behind this.

The madam named Shi had a vicious look. Just looking at the little girl's face, she knew that her value would be quite high in the future, and the price would be higher than the betrothal gift of the rich businessman of the Rauss.

Lu Jiuxiao said "tsk" and saw that he was about to turn the fan at hand again, and then he heard Lu Wan's voice coming from a distance.

"What an old madam, what an aunt?" Lu Wan came over with a light green silk cutlery and looked at the person sitting on the window curiously.

Lu Jiuxiao glanced at her with a squinted look and said perfunctorily: "Miss home, don't inquire if you shouldn't."

Upon hearing this, Lu Wan was not confused about this. Instead, she clenched her fist and said indignantly: "That Li Er is simply not a human!"

Lu Jiuxiao's eyelids twitched, looked at Lu Wan up and down, and turned his face cold quietly, but the man was still leaning lazily against the window frame, "Why are you?"

Lu Wan wore a fluttering skirt today, and it was originally when she went to Wangjianglou for tea with her sisters.

Unexpectedly, he ran into Li Er who was drunk and held an unmarried girl in the street and refused to let go, cursing and trying to drag the person back to his mansion.

Others are afraid of him, and even if they are willing to help, they dare not help.

Fortunately, Xue Ning, the daughter of Grand Tutor Xue, passed by in a sedan chair, and asked his two masters who knew how to work, to hold down Li Er and poured him a bucket of cold water. This was the end.

Later I heard that Li Er forced the shopkeeper of the cloth shop in the Yonglu Lane to marry his youngest daughter who had just been married to him as a concubine, but within two days, the person was gone.

It is said that death is miserable and uncovered.

The shopkeeper went to Duke Yin's mansion for two days and went to the government office to beat the drums. However, his common man had no trouble with Li Er, who was shameless, when he returned home, he was depressed and committed suicide by taking poisoned wine. Fortunately, he found out in time and saved his life.

But Li Er was only jailed at home for two days, and today he was out again.

Lu Wan said, her palms tighter and said hatefully: "Is there any other way to the king?!"

After hearing this, Lu Jiuxiao saw that something was wrong with Lu Wan, so he casually moved his eyes from her.

Lu Wan leaned over her body, walked over the window and poured a cup of tea for herself, moistened her throat, and said, "By the way, why did Li Er yell that you stole his girl?"

Hearing this, the man paused, looking at the dim afterglow in the sky, and it was about to get into the night...

He frowned and said, "Where has Li Er been going?"

Lu Wan sneered: "He was thrown into a bucket of cold water by Sister Aning, and he wiped his face and was still thinking about going to Tianshui Lane."

Tianshui Lane is the territory of Qinlou and Chuguan.

Lu Wan was still talking and scolding Li Er. In the corner of Lu Jiuxiao's mouth was slightly stiff. After thinking for a while, he jumped off the windowsill.

Lu Wan shouted behind her: "Brother, where are you going?"

Lu Jiuxiao only left a back for her.

----------

The evening is in full swing, and the flowers are supporting the doors and windows.

Singing lightly and dancing, leaning against the red and green, the sound of the sheng, flute and piano spread quietly from the entrance of the alley.

Li Er sat in the elegant room with an unexpected expression, embracing three or five beauties in front of him, and he did not understand his hatred at all.

Not only did he make a fool of himself in public today, but when he came here, the madam named Shi was still very fond of him.

Why, is that only Lu Jiuxiao able to enjoy the little beauty? Since he has not redeemed himself, why can't Li Er touch him?

The more he thought about it, the more he looked at the eyes of the bells and swallows in front of him.

Huh, compared with that little lady who is so cool and savage, these can only be considered inferior products!

At this moment, Wang Qin held Li Er's arm, covered her lips and leaned against his ear, said a few words, and saw Li Er's eyes shining, put down the wine bottle and said, "Take it serious?"

Wang Qin nodded twice, "It's true."

Li Er immediately laughed, pinched Wang Qin's chin, and pecked her side face hard.

Soon, Wang Qin pushed the door out, looking a little nervous.

She called her little maid and lowered her voice and said, "Is it done?"

The little maid's voice was lower than her and she replied, "I did as the girl told me."

Wang Qin stroked her chest, and for some reason, her eyelids twitched twice...

She said worriedly: "Crown Prince Lu hasn't come tonight?"

The little maid nodded, "Don't worry, girl, I've seen it, I can't even see Prince Lu's shadow tonight."

I don’t know if it’s bad luck, but the little maid’s words had not yet come to her ground, the golden bell hanging in front of the door suddenly shook twice.

The bead curtains were gently raised and hung down, slamming each other.
