Xu Huai put the knife on the sandalwood square table, picked up the tea cup and sipped the fragrant tea carefully.
"Young master Xu should know the rules of Yuehonglou. Do you want to listen to the slave family sing a few songs, or..."
Liu Qiong'er's soft words melted into bones, and she stood up to prepare the piano and flute, also secretly guarding against the impulsive pounce on this fool.
"The money I paid is not enough to ask Miss Liu to undress and take off her belt, but it is enough to sit until midnight before leaving. Why should Miss Liu be in a hurry?" Xu Huai picked up the sword, put the scabbard against Liu Qiong'er's chest, and asked her to
After sitting down, he accurately kicked a chair behind the door of the boudoir. He walked over and sat down against the door.
At this time, the maids outside had already driven away those who wanted to watch the fun, and closed the courtyard doors.
Liu Qiong'er sat at the table for a while, but Xu Huai stared at her heart and asked: "Mr. Xu, please don't hold the knife. What's so fun about this knife? Mr. Xu doesn't want to listen to the piano and music. I
There are many more interesting things in this room..."
"Is it really fun to have this sword? It seems that Miss Liu Qiong'er, you really don't know how to use swords. I'll show you how to dance!" Xu Huai stood up and unsheathed his sword. Three swords were struck out, and three afterimages fell on Liu Qiong.
In front of my son.
Liu Qiong'er was so frightened that her courage almost jumped out of her throat. With her almond-shaped eyes, she watched three black hairs falling in front of her. Was it a coincidence, or did she really want to cut off three hairs?
Liu Qiong'er watched Xu Huai pick up three black hairs from the brick floor and didn't even dare to breathe.
"Is my sword fun?" Xu Huai returned the sword to its sheath, wrapped three hair strands around his fingers, and asked, "Miss Liu Qiong'er, do you want to play with it? With my current level of swordsmanship, I can already cut off your ear."
The hair can be shaved off without hurting the skin, Miss Liu Qiong'er, do you want to see it?"
"What on earth do you want to do?" The devil wants to see the knife skills of shaving the pinna of the ear. Liu Qiong'er sat on the imperial concubine's couch with her feet weak and looked at Xu Huai with a ghostly expression. She didn't know what unexpected thing he would do next.
When something happened, I didn't dare to call anyone out for fear of irritating this lunatic.
"The pieces of silver I borrowed from Butcher Zheng plus more than ten kilograms of copper should total three taels of silver. But the turtle slave Zhou Mazi lied to me and said that it was not enough to give Miss Liu a gift - Zhou Mazi thought I was a fool.
Dude, I'm too lazy to argue with him, but Miss Liu, you can't lie to me and say it's already past your prime, right?"
Xu Huai said,
"Since I gave you the money, our deal has to wait until the wedding day for the deal to be counted, don't you think so, Miss Liu? As for what I'm going to do for the rest of the night, I think even if I just sit here, Yuehonglou can't say
Am I unruly?"
"Aren't you that idiot from the Xu family?" Miss Liu Qiong'er asked uncertainly.
She had only seen Xu Huai two or three times from a distance, and had heard other people's stories about other things. But she was not sure whether he was stupid or not, or whether he had mistakenly recognized the person before. She looked at Xu Huai intently at this time.
Although she is pregnant, she is not as strong as expected, but appears to be tall and tall.
If I hadn't had a preconceived impression, how could I associate him with "Han'er" when he was obviously a handsome young man?
"If it's true, my surname is Xu Minghuai, who is from Lutai Village in Yuhuangling, Biyang County. I am living next to Xu Wujiang at the Huaiyuan Inspection Department, and I have admired the beautiful name of Liu Qiong'er for a long time.
, Today I specially asked the Zheng family butcher to borrow some money to come and chat with Miss Liu Qiong'er!" Xu Huai said.
"Mr. Xu is not like what people say outside, that..." Miss Liu Qiong'er said timidly.
"Since Miss Liu asked this, I think we can have a little more fun this night - Miss Liu is saying that in the eyes of others, Xu Huai should be a complete idiot and should not understand the taste of love?"
Xu Huai patted his thigh with the scabbard and asked with a smile.
"..." Liu Qiong'er stared at Xu Huai. What kind of romance is this?
Xu Huai added: "I would like to say that I am as smart as a fool. Maybe I am too confident, but in the eyes of others, I am a fool, but I can do many things easily. So sometimes I don't even bother to explain how others see me.
——Miss Liu, do you think I am a very personable person?"
"...?" Miss Liu Qiong'er opened her lips slightly, thinking about what kind of stupid temper this was. After a while, she asked, "Since Mr. Xu doesn't mind what others think of you, why do you have to be so aggressive in front of me?"
?If Mr. Xu really wants to fall in love, Liu Qiong'er will do it too..."
"Miss Liu Qiong'er, please don't speak so aggrieved, as if I forced Miss Liu Qiong'er to do both art and prostitution. I heard from the servant in Yuehonglou that Miss Liu is beautiful, has a gentle and considerate temperament, and is good at poetry, calligraphy, music, and painting."
, even if she doesn't sell herself, she can still make her customers like her, but Miss Liu also has a bad habit, that is, she likes to eavesdrop on her customers. I wonder if this is the case?" Xu Huai stared at Liu Qiong'er and asked.
"What's the matter?" Liu Qiong'er denied.
Xu Huai didn't seem to hear Liu Qiong'er's denial, and continued: "On the day I cleaned up Zheng's butcher, there were eight foreign guests staying in Yuehong Building. The leader's surname was Zheng, and Miss Liu was the one who accepted them at that time; I just wanted to know
Did Miss Liu overhear anything interesting at that time?"
"Sometimes I hear something accidentally, but it's just unintentionally - the guests you mentioned left after staying in Yuehong Building for three days. I don't know anything." Liu Qiong'er's back ran away.
Feeling a chill, he gritted his teeth and said.
"Then let me make it clear," Xu Huai said, "those eight people are the assassins sent by Privy Councilor Cai Qing to kill the former Yushi Zhongcheng Wang Xianggong. Anyone who knows about this matter will be silenced by them, so Liu
Girl, you are tight-lipped and don't dare to let out the slightest bit of news. I can understand it. However, Hutou Village went on a killing spree on the horse trail twice, but Miss Liu couldn't control her inner fear and ran to the scene to see what happened. What do you think?
All this is under the eyes of Hutou Village’s informants, will they believe that Miss Liu is ignorant of the assassin’s collusion with Hutou Village?”
Liu Qiong'er slumped on the bedside with a pale face, and asked in a voice, "Are you sent by them?"
"Miss Liu must have been thirteen years old when she was sold to Yuehong Mansion, right? I, Xu Huai, was still running around the streets of Huaiyuan Town naked at that time. Miss Liu Qiong'er may have seen my little bird - to be honest
You said, Xiao Que'er has grown up now and it is inconvenient to meet Liu Qiong'er honestly today. How could Miss Liu think that I was sent by an assassin?" Xu Huai asked.
"Then who are you and what do you want from me?" Liu Qiong'er asked in shock.
"The assassin wanted to kill Wang Zhen, but he didn't dare to take action. He also wanted to collude with Hutou Village to cause big things. Naturally, there was someone behind the scenes who was protecting Wang Zhen and made them afraid. Miss Liu was well-informed and could become a
Yuehonglou's number one popular waiter has been standing firm for several years and can please any customer. Can't you understand such a simple truth?" Xu Huaixiao asked.
"Bao Wang Zhen, why do you want to Bao Wang Zhen?" Liu Qiong'er asked.
"This is called asking why Cai Zheng wanted to kill Wang Zhen?" Xu Huai said.
Liu Qiong'er stared at Xu Huai but said nothing.
Xu Huai asked and answered his own questions and said: "Cai Qing wants to kill Wang Zhen, naturally because he is afraid that Wang Zhen's comeback will be detrimental to him, and we want to protect Wang Zhen, of course, also in order to one day make a comeback. Miss Liu may have thought that what she overheard will be
Telling the matter will only prompt the assassin to come and kill you. I thought it would be better not to say anything, hoping that the assassin will not notice you; or Miss Liu thinks that I am a kind person and will not deliberately leak Miss Liu's matter to
The assassin knows - well, Miss Liu Qiong'er, you think so, but it makes some sense. However, Miss Liu Qiong'er, have you ever thought about it, if anyone wants to chat with Miss Liu now, they have to leave it to Yue Honglou Erliang
Silver, Miss Liu will work with us to help Mr. Wang Zhen make a comeback. How much money will we get if others want to find Miss Liu?"
"I'll be full by then, so I'm still doing this business?" Liu Qiong'er asked angrily.
"It turns out that Miss Liu understands very well in her heart," Xu Huai laughed and said, "I heard from the servant in Yuehonglou that Miss Liu has secretly saved a lot of money over the years and wanted to redeem herself, so I thought that Miss Liu must have something.
A person with ideas, otherwise he would not be the number one figure in Yuehonglou. These things can be explained as soon as I explain them. I don’t need to waste too much words. By the way, I will send a message to Miss Liu for free. Tang Jiasi casts silver ingots.
There were people who couldn't help but pour tin and lead into the house. In the past two years, some people reported it to the inspection department. However, because the Tang family was so powerful and Tang Tiande reported it to the inspection department, none of these incidents were reported to the public in the end -
—I don’t know if there will be any problem with the silver that Miss Liu exchanged at the Tang Family Warehouse, but I can’t help but wonder what would happen if Miss Liu took out the silver when redeeming her body and one of the silver ingots was found to be defective.
What? This Yuehong Mansion seems to be secretly controlled by the Tang family, right? Will Miss Liu have a chance to complain?"
Liu Qiong'er's pretty face turned pale, and she subconsciously looked towards the corner of the boudoir.
Xu Huai looked at it as if he didn't see anything and continued: "If there is really any problem with this matter, Miss Liu will need a charge of thugs to help. Please say hello to Xu Huai. If Xu Huai frowns, it is Miss Liu who you raised."
——Can we get back to the assassin matter now? How much useful information does Miss Liu know? Miss Liu needs to think about it carefully and don’t miss anything, as this will affect the reward based on merit in the future!”
"Why should I trust you?" Liu Qiong'er asked, staring at Xu Huai with her almond-shaped eyes.
"You don't have to believe it. I left when I passed the age. Yuehong Building has dozens of thugs. How can I demolish Yuehong Building alone?" Xu Huai walked to the bed at this time and held out his saber.
Holding her in her arms and lying down with her clothes on, it seemed that if Liu Qiong'er went out to call someone at this time, he would not stop her.
Liu Qiong'er stood up as if hiding from a thief and stared at Xu Huai uncertainly for a long time.
At this time, there was a noise outside, and soon a woman was heard coming over. She was stopped outside the yard by many people, and she was heard yelling: "How many evil things have you done in Huaiyuan? I, Su Di Niang,
I can’t control it, but even if I search through Yuehong Mansion today, I still want to find Xu Huai—Xu Wujiang, are you going to find someone or not?”
Xu Huai didn't expect that the news would reach the military camp, and Su Di would drag his seventeenth uncle Xu Wujiang over to take him back.
Why is it so difficult to have a drink of flower wine?
Xu Huai sat up helplessly, looked at Liu Qiong'er for a while, and said: "Now Miss Liu is still unwilling to say anything? It seems that I can only find opportunities to come over and bother Miss Liu in the future - but,
If you move around more, the assassin might notice Miss Liu more, which is not good either."
"I told you, can you stop bothering me in the future?" Liu Qiong'er stared at Xu Huai and asked.
"It depends on how helpful the news Miss Liu is to us." Xu Huai said with a smile.
Liu Qiong'er hesitated for a while, and finally told the truth about the information she knew:
"What I overheard was limited. I know that the leader's surname is Zheng. He is a weak man and is half a head shorter than you. He looks like a scholar and is not very interested in women. They seem to think that Jing Shengjun is in Tong.
The old people in Baishan were encouraged by a man named Lu to secretly join forces to protect Mr. Wang, but they thought it had nothing to do with the Xu family. It seemed that they heard someone said that Xu Wufu, the head of the Xu family, had a bad relationship with your seventeenth uncle Xu Wujiang, and they thought that Xu Wufu was not on good terms with your seventeenth uncle Xu Wujiang.
Wu Fu was not involved in the matter. They refused to give up and let Mr. Wang go, but they did not dare to make the matter too big. Some people in the court took the opportunity to question Cai Qing, and then they tried to help Chen Zixiao control Hutou Village.
, help them act in Huaiyuan..."
Xu Wujiang was cornered by Su Di. At this time, he broke into the yard and shouted angrily:
"Xu Huai, you idiot, your bird has grown some feathers, yet you are so hungry that you come here to drink flower wine? Get out of here, don't ask me to drag you out of bed!"
