Chapter 164: The power of words(1/2)
The atmosphere became more and more harmonious, and the power of words became more and more powerful. This girl Xiangling was completely controlled by Qingyi.
Qingyi became more and more frightened as she talked. If Luo Xing used this method to deal with these women, how many of them could withstand it?
Fortunately, he insisted on letting him play the role of patron and he himself played the role of follower.
This way of grasping people's hearts was terrifying. She even felt that she had been manipulated by him as well.
I can't tell which one is true and which one is false.
"How did the young master know Xiang Ling?"
"Oh, I am an old friend of Mr. Liu. One time when we were drinking, he got drunk and chatted a few more words. I learned about it from his mouth."
"Mr. Liu, oh, the young master is talking about Mr. Liu Ming, right?"
"Do you know Miss Xiangling?"
"Of course we know each other. He is Sister Yumei's guest. Every time he comes, he will go to Sister Yumei's place, stay for an hour or two, and then leave."
"Let me tell you, he keeps telling me how beautiful Miss Yumei's singing voice is, but it's a pity that she won't comb it out until after the Flower Queen Conference." Qingyi said along the way.
"Sister Yumei is indeed different from me. She also came from Tuberose, but she has already given the ransom money. She is completely free. As long as she finds a suitable husband, she can marry her.
." Xiangling couldn't help but moan.
"Miss Xiangling, what makes you different?"
"Those who have signed a contract with Tuberose can redeem themselves, but they must earn enough money. Until the redemption money is paid off, the property still belongs to Tuberose."
"Since it still belongs to Tuberose, why do they allow you to come out and work alone?"
"Young master Luo doesn't know. When the city of Yangzhou is destroyed, if we don't let us escape on our own, we may fall into the hands of the Southern Chu army, and they will lose even more money. I'm afraid we only have one chance to make such a contract in this life."
Xiang Ling said, "Within three years, I earned enough money to redeem myself, got back the deed of sale, and went to the government to regain my freedom. If it expires, I can only go back and accept their arrangements."
Qingyi was a little surprised that there was such a situation here, but Nanya had not discovered such a secret.
"Are there many Xiangling girls like this?"
"Not many. Only those who have some beauty, some talents, and the ability to escape Yangzhou on their own and come to Luojing are eligible. I don't know how many people there are specifically, but Yumei is different. As soon as she arrives
In Luojing City, I got the deed of sale and became a free man, just living here temporarily."
"Does she want to attend the Queen of Flowers Conference?"
"Maybe. Although I live under the same roof with her, we don't meet and talk to each other very often. She has a rather arrogant personality. When she was being trained in the building, she refused to obey the discipline. If she didn't have an excellent singing voice, I'm afraid she would have died a long time ago.
Sold."
"Haha, that's it. We won't mention her anymore. Come on, Miss Xiangling, can you play a song for me again?" Qingyi calmly took out a hundred-tael silver note and pressed it on the table.
.
"Of course." Xiang Ling smiled cleverly and agreed happily.
If it weren't for the Queen of Flowers Conference, Xiangling would be extremely satisfied with today's guest. If she really wanted to after the conference, she might as well ask him to redeem herself and then go with him. It would also be good to become a concubine in one room.
For a while, she felt like a "man" in love with his concubine.
…
In Yumei's room, Luo Xing did not hear any useful information. After all, her conversations with guests usually did not involve her personal privacy.
But through the conversation, Luo Xing could roughly judge that this Yumei's temperament was indeed a bit aloof, but she did have a good voice.
If this voice sings, it will definitely be rewarded by God.
But even if people are engaged in music work in this world, it is a lowly job. People can appreciate and praise this beautiful thing, but they will never give it a high enough status.
Because this is just a supplement to life, not a necessity, so some people may spend a lot of money on an actress, but they will never abandon their family, career, or their own future for her.
A master of music, a master of dance, or a government official as big as sesame seeds and mung beans can make him bankrupt and put him in a dilemma of life and death (when there is no one to support him).
The man stayed in Yumei's house for more than an hour, and then took the initiative to say goodbye. He probably felt that there would be no advantage to him if he stayed any longer, so Yumei personally sent the man to the door.
He happened to cast a glance towards Xiang Ling's house, made eye contact with Luo Xing at the door, then quickly turned back to the room and closed the door.
At first glance, this girl with rainy eyebrows does not look like a stunning beauty, but her rather three-dimensional facial features and a bit of heroic spirit between her eyebrows make a deep impression on people at first sight.
Xiangling also wanted to attend the Queen of Flowers Conference, so since they were all servants, they couldn't stay as benefactors, so Qingyi came out of the room not long after.
"Let's go back and talk."
Drive back to Qingyi Courtyard.
The lights in Hongying's room had long been turned off, and they were probably taking a break. The two of them then returned to the study. Luo Xing lit the oil lamp on the desk and put on the lampshade.
The room instantly became much brighter.
"Speak first." The two said in unison.
"Xiaoqi, let me talk first." Qingyi then roughly described to Luo Xing the whole process of her and Xiangling eating wine and listening to music in the house.
"So, Xiang Ling has little to do with Ding Xian, whose pseudonym is Liu Ming. What does have a relationship is this girl with eyebrows." Luo Xing said.
"Liu Ming left a deep impression on her because he didn't seem like the kind of person who often comes to such places. He walked very quickly and was very wary..."
You can say that a woman who can survive in a stormy place is crazy, but she is definitely not stupid. Their competition is unimaginable.
This is something that has been instilled in them since childhood. As for why most of them do not have good endings, it has something to do with them personally, but it also has more to do with the general environment in which they live.
Girls who grow up in normal families will not see so much information. Of course, if they are put into the same environment and exercised, they can do it.
"It seems we have to focus on investigating this woman named Yumei." Luo Xing said, "Can we get relevant information from Tuberose?"
"It's not a big problem. She has redeemed herself, so there is no need for Tuberose to keep her secret. If she can make a fortune using her information, it shouldn't be a big problem."
"I want Yu Mei and Xiang Ling's information."
"You have to spend money, and you may not be able to repay it?"
"We will not do the subsidy thing. We will apply for funds from His Highness. This is the principle." Luo Xing picked up the boiling teapot on the table and poured a cup of boiling water for Qingyi.
"I'll go early tomorrow morning. I always feel that the relationship between Ding Xian and Yu Mei is unusual. Maybe I can open a gap in her."
"We also need to check Yu Mei's previous guests. Let Wu Jiong check this one tomorrow. I think this brother is a good guy and I can recommend him as the general flag." Luo Xing suggested.
"I will arrange a general banner tomorrow. He can be regarded as your first confidant, right?"
"We can't talk about the confidants yet. We have to keep an eye on him." Luo Xing shook his head. Since he was working in Nanya, he had to have useful people under him.
"Shall we continue tonight?" Qingyi asked with a charming look.
"Of course, it will be of great benefit to me to help you open the hidden veins." Luo Xing nodded and helped Qingyi open the hidden veins. It is naturally beneficial to him. At least it can deepen her understanding of the hidden veins.
, and he also wanted to try to help Yi Yi open other hidden veins.
If this is possible, he has simply mastered the huge secret of improving his bones and creating geniuses in batches.
Theoretically this is the case.
Alas, this is obviously a misunderstanding.
…
The further you go, the harder it gets, but for Qingyi, the effect of opening a hidden vein becomes more obvious, and she has to take a bath every morning.
She didn't know how to explain it when she saw Hong Ying in the morning...
There was no way to explain this kind of thing. The secret was too shocking and she was not stupid. If she told it, it would harm Luo Xing.
Therefore, if Hongying misunderstands, let it be. Anyway, her relationship with Luo Xing has been confirmed, and it will be a matter of time before they get together.
"I'm recovering well. I can't use my energy now. Don't stay in the house and move around more." Luo Xing cut Hongying's pulse and said, "Continue to take the medicine I prescribed for you. You also know how to boil medicine."
, once in the morning and once in the evening.”
"Yes, I understand." Hongying retracted his wrists into his sleeves, his eyes a little dodgey.
"Xiao Qi, you have to give Hongxing an identity. Otherwise, if she goes out and is inspected by the Inspection Department, she will be in trouble without an identity guide." Qingyi said.
"Can Nanya help me?"
"Nanya can do it, but the traces are too heavy. In addition to Nanya, the Inspection Department, Jingzhao Prefecture, and the household officials of the subordinate prefectures and counties can all handle it, but the procedure is very cumbersome, especially for Hongxing who has no identity.
The one who proves it." Qingyi said.
"Didn't the Xicheng Branch of the Inspection Department just move a lot of people? Can Hongxing be assigned an identity as a legacy issue from her predecessor, so that future investigations won't reveal anything?" Luo Xing had an idea.
"This is not easy to handle."
"Given the relationship between His Highness and Ming Gong, this matter is too simple. I am thinking that even if we get the house, there is still a problem of transferring the ownership. If Jingzhao Mansion blocks us, then even if we have the
It's difficult to get the house deed and land deed in our name." Luo Xing suddenly had an opportunity.
"You don't want Hong Xing'er to pretend to be Qian Dengke's descendant and then sign a transfer agreement with us, right?"
"What's not allowed?"
"But what if Qian Dengke's descendants are still there, and what if they find out?"
"Impossible, Qian Dengke has no descendants. He made it very clear in his letter that all the impersonations are fake. You can rest assured of this." Luo Xing said with great certainty.
"Then this can be done."
