Chapter 20 Revisiting Yuehonglou

Xu Huai persuaded Wang Zhen to give up the idea of ​​leaving the military stronghold. Xu Xin'an came over and called him to go back for dinner.

Su Di was still doubtful about Wang Zhen sending Xu Huai to Yuehonglou, but she had no reason to suspect that Wang Zhen would lie. No one asked Xu Huai anything during the whole meal, but Xu Huai went to the willow forest to practice at night.

After returning to the room with swords and guns, Xu Xin'an ran over with unbearable itching and asked:

"Why did Mr. Wang bring you to Yuehong Mansion?"

"Lao Xianggong Wang made a poem and wanted to give it to Miss Liu Qiong'er, and asked me to deliver it. I walked to the Yuehong Building and the turtle man said that I needed two taels of silver to see Miss Liu Qiong'er, so I went to Butcher Zheng to borrow it.

Silver." Xu Huai lay on the bed in his clothes and said nonsense.

"Composed the first poem, what poem? When did Mr. Wang and Liu Qiong'er meet?" Xu Xin'an was stunned and asked.

"Who do I know? I don't even know a few Chinese characters." Xu Huai said.

"You idiot, you didn't go to see my sister for the night, how can you get money from just seeing someone? You must have been stupid and didn't explain the matter clearly, causing such a big misunderstanding." Xu Xin'an never thought that Xu Huai would lie and deceive.

He, on his own, came up with a reasonable explanation first.

"By the way, Mr. Wang said that he wants to compose a poem and give it to Miss Liu Qiong'er tomorrow. You can go there. I'm really scared. I was scolded by Aunt Seventeen for no reason. Look at my ears.

There are still marks on it..." Xu Huai cried bitterly.

He thought in his heart that if the Tang family and Yuehonglou were willing to let Liu Qiong'er redeem themselves, it would be useless for him to rely on brute force. He could only rely on Wang Zhen's reputation.

This matter needs a little paving the way, at least to let the people in Yuehonglou and the Tang family behind the scenes know that Wang Zhen is supporting Liu Qiong'er.

After what happened today, Xu Huai was worried that if he went to deliver his lyrics tomorrow, he might not be able to enter the gate of Yuehong Building, so he left this matter to Xu Xin'an, and he was sure that Xu Xin'an would be willing.

Wang Xuan, a girl who looks less than thirteen years old, may not think highly of him and Xu Xinan, but she is very happy for Xu Xinan to hang around her. She also seems to be born with the talent and desire to control men - there seems to be a person in her memory.

Xu Huai couldn't think of any special words to describe a girl like her.

Sometimes Xu Huai deliberately pretended to be stupid and ignored Wang Xuan, but Xu Xinan was called around by Wang Xuan. When he heard that Wang Xuan had something to do, his bones became a few taels lighter and he was very useful. He didn't think about others at all.

Secretly, I looked down upon him even more.

However, in the past seven or eight days, Xu Xin'an was selected as a sentinel by Deng Gui, and it was difficult to get away. He was not as diligent as before when he ran to the yard next door.

Of course, Xu Xin'an still had errands to do in the Inspection Department tomorrow, but he hesitated for a while and then agreed to "send lyrics and compositions".

Xu Xin'an was sent out early the next morning to inquire about the news, but thinking about delivering a message, he left the camp at noon and hurried back to the military camp, where he volunteered to go find Wang Zhen:

"Old Xianggong Wang said that he has a poem today that he wants to send to Miss Liu Qiong'er of Yuehong Mansion. Xu Huai, that lazy fellow, has gone somewhere. Xin'an is free at noon, so he can do this for Mr. Wang.

trip."

"Ah..." Wang Zhen had lunch and was playing chess with Cheng Yi in the yard. He was stunned for a while before he remembered that he had promised Xu Huai yesterday to help Liu Qiong'er redeem herself from Yuehong Mansion, so he would send a poem to him today.

Or to pave the way, he said with some stumble, "Yes, yes, there is such a thing, I almost forgot about it; Brother Xin'an, please wait for me for a while..."

"Grandpa!" Wang Xuan looked down on those promiscuous women the most. She didn't expect Xu Huai to make such a big joke yesterday, and today her grandfather would even give the woman a gift of lyrics. Her little face turned pale with anger.

"..." Wang Zhen smiled bitterly. He couldn't explain it to his granddaughter. He went back to the house and recorded an old composition. He wrote the title and postscript and sealed it. He took it out and handed it to Xu Xin'an, "Brother Xin'an, I'm sorry to bother you to make this trip."

"When Mr. Wang arrived in Huaiyuan, he didn't seem to stop at Hedong Market?" Cheng Yi asked curiously after sitting down again after Wang reported.

"Although I haven't met him yet, I feel admiration for him when I hear his name. It's just an old work." Wang Zhen didn't want to talk too much about this topic, so he said perfunctorily.

After playing chess, Cheng Yi said goodbye and returned to the inn. When Lu Xiong came over to help put the chess pieces into the box, he saw Wang Xun holding a chess piece thoughtfully and not letting go, and asked: "My husband is thinking about who should

Have you not left Huaiyuan?"

Wang Xun nodded and sighed: "Xu Huai's words are too young and mature, and he is not as eloquent as a sixteen-year-old boy. However, it is human nature for that person to have scruples and not want to meet each other - after all, no one is

If you are a carefree person, if you are not careful, all those involved are innocent."

…………

…………

Xu Huai came back from practicing boxing in Liushulin. He saw Xu Xinan sitting on the porch angrily and asked, "Have you gone to Yuehong Mansion to run errands for Mr. Wang?"

"Stop talking," Xu Xin'an said, thinking about sending a message to Yuehong Mansion for Wang Zhen, and not getting any benefits, but still being ridiculed by Liu Qiong'er, her nose almost twisted with anger, "that little bitch who looks down on others."

I even wrote a poem in reply to Mr. Wang - I will go to Hutou Ridge with Uncle Seventeen in a while, you can wait until the sun goes down and go to the market by yourself."

Seeing Xu Xin'an looking fed up, Xu Huai thought to himself that Liu Qiong'er should force him to meet her in person. He rubbed his head and said, "Then you have to help me tell Aunt Seventeen and tell her not to go to Yuehong Mansion to pick her up again."

My ears."

"You were sent by Mr. Wang, who would pull your ears? You are stupid, but others are not stupid. You just need to speak clearly." Xu Xin'an said.

"What are you going to Hutouling for?" Xu Huai asked.

"You ask what these are for. You are so clumsy, do you still want to follow him? If the thief is alerted, maybe we will be killed. You should stay at home honestly - don't tell this matter.

Uncle Seventeen is afraid that the thieves have nails in the town." Xu Xin'an said.

It was not easy for the Huaiyuan clans to unify their opinions, but it was only right that Deng Gui sent Xu Wujiang and his people to the outskirts of Hutou Ridge to check out the situation.

Xu Huai thought that he didn't need to be paranoid about this, at least there was no sign that Deng Gui was secretly colluding with the assassins.

When Xu Xin'an and Xu Wujiang left the military stronghold, Xu Huai found Xu Sihu who was staying at the military stronghold and borrowed armor and two daggers from him in the name of Xu Wujiang.

Xu Huai returned to his room, took out the wheat cakes he had hidden at noon, and ate them slowly so as not to feel full, but also to ensure that his strength would not be exhausted too quickly. When the sun went down, he put on his leather armor next to his body.

Then he crossed the river and rushed to Yuehong Mansion to meet Liu Qiong'er.

"Brother Xu, why are you here again today? Do you want to sit in my room for a while? I'm not a prostitute here."

"You also believe what Sister Qiong'er said. She said she wanted this idiot to come over to collect the letter and give it back to Mr. Wang, but she didn't let the maid come out to send him away. She even asked this idiot to go to her yard. According to me, Sister Qiong'er will definitely

You know the taste by eating the marrow, and I want to eat it again today. I said that Grandma Wang is partial, why don't you test her body, and are you not afraid of ruining the reputation of our Yuehonglou?"

"That's right, this fool is as strong as an ox. The year before last, he actually knocked a mad cow to the ground on Stone Street. If there really is a tie that cannot be untied, it will be over if it can't be torn apart - think about that strength, will

Lift your legs, it won’t work, it won’t work!”

Xu Huai held the knife in his arms and walked straight in. A group of swallows and warblers were harassing him, as if they hadn't heard anything.

"I've told you everything I know, and you promised not to bother me again. What's going on with this poem?" Liu Qiong'er closed the door and threw the old poem recorded by Wang Zhen to Xu.

Huai's face was filled with anger, and his little face turned white with anger.

In the afternoon, Xu Xin'an sent the recorded lyrics to Wang Zhen, which caused a small sensation in Yuehong Tower. Liu Qiong'er looked at her with envy wherever she went, but since she knew that Zheng Hui and others were deliberately plotting to assassinate Wang.

Damn, how dare you still have a little bit of complacency in your heart?

The assassin might not have noticed her before, but now Wang Zhen sent someone to send her lyrics and made it known to everyone in Huaiyuan Town. Is this because he thinks she is destined to die?

Xu Xin'an sent her lyrics and compositions to drag her into the fire pit. How could Liu Qiong'er give him a good look?

Liu Qiong'er's heart and lungs were about to explode with anger.

Xu Huai lay fully clothed on Liu Qiong'er's fragrant mattress, feeling really soft, and asked: "Is there something wrong with the silver ingots that Miss Liu exchanged at the Tang Family Warehouse?"

"Do you want to take care of it?" Liu Qiong'er said angrily.

"So, even if there is something wrong with the silver ingot, Miss Liu will swallow it for the sake of her own life - until she can no longer continue to be an artist instead of selling her body, it doesn't matter if she sells herself to pick up customers. One day, she will be too old and sexy to pick up customers, but

You can also work as a madam for the tiger, or you can buy a few good seedlings for Yue Honglou now and raise them to take over later? Life, you can always get by if you endure it, Miss Liu, don't you think so?" Xu Huai asked

.

Liu Qiong'er was shocked, but felt very uncomfortable as if being stared at by a poisonous snake. She turned away and did not dare to look into Xu Huai's eyes.

"Miss Liu actually knows very well in her heart that until this matter is over, we are just grasshoppers tied to a tree - even if I don't come to bother you, Miss Liu, you really think you can stay out of it from now on. This matter has nothing to do with you.

No involvement?" Xu Huai asked.

"You have something you want me to do, or you want to ask me for some information. I didn't say I won't help you, but you need to make it known to everyone?" Liu Qiong'er gritted her teeth and tried to speak softly.

, asked, "Could it be that if those assassins came over at night and stabbed me to death, it would be good for you?"

"Mr. Wang is still living well in the military camp, and no assassin dares to come over and stab him to death. Miss Liu, what are you worried about?" Xu Huai asked with a smile, "Don't worry, the assassin will do such a big thing.

If there is any movement, it is destined that they will not dare to act rashly, and we will not let Miss Liu take risks easily..."

"Hmph, if you really have any ability, why do you need to use me as bait?" Liu Qiong'er didn't believe Xu Huai's lies and ruthlessly exposed him.

"In the past few years, Miss Liu has been doing business in Huaiyuan Town and coaxing customers around. It seems that it is not all because of her charming face," Xu Huai said, "However, now that the matter is over, Miss Liu and I

It's useless to complain, why don't we sum it up together and figure out what to do next..."

Seeing that Xu Huai was cheating on her, Liu Qiong'er was so angry that she picked up the makeup box and threw it at his face.

If the tiger doesn't show off its power, she really thinks she has lost her temper, but it's a pity that Xu Huai avoids her.

Liu Qiong'er was angry for a while, calmed down and suddenly thought of a question. She looked at Xu Huai in surprise and asked:

"You tried your best to make me jump into a fire pit for fun, but it was you who didn't even have hair to run the errands. And Xu Xin'an and Xu Wujiang don't seem to know anything about it. You don't have a few people to protect you secretly.

Mr. Wang, right? The assassin was actually bluffed by your bluff?"

Xu Huai stared at Liu Qiong'er for a moment and said: "Miss Liu is so smart, I almost applaud Miss Liu - Zheng Hui calls himself the mastermind around Privy Councilor Cai Qing, but he is far inferior to Miss Liu. It's really ridiculous

, Ridiculous.”

Xu Huai did not expect that Liu Qiong'er was really smart. Although she could never guess what the truth was, the thought of so much was definitely beyond his imagination.

No wonder there are many beautiful girls in Yuehonglou, but no one can compete with her to support this brand of prostitution without selling one's body.

"What's so hard to guess about this? Xu Wuliang, the blacksmith in the West Street iron shop, also served as a soldier in the Jingsheng Army with your father Xu Wuxuan, but I went to see him a few days ago to make a silver sword, and he was so sexy

He stared at me squintingly for a long time, his saliva almost flowed out. How could he look like he was planning something big?" Although Liu Qiong'er hated Xu Huai for dragging her into the fire pit, she couldn't help but say proudly.

Xu Huai stared at Liu Qiong'er and said: "It seems that Miss Liu is really a curious person. She actually found out all about my life experience. But if I want to ask whether my bird's hair has grown, Miss Qiong'er, you

But it was a mistake.”

"Why don't you show any shame?" Liu Qiong'er said angrily, her almond-shaped eyes widening, "What exactly do you want me to do?"
