Yu Yang's attitude at home also affected several of his sons. Although the eldest son Yu Qin came out of Guan's belly, his attitude towards women inherited from his father. On the surface, he treated Guan as filial, but the premise was that Guan was
Don't worry about him.
Yu Qin's monthly income is ten taels of silver, which is much more than the two taels of silver his sisters receive. In addition, Yu Yang will also give him a private subsidy of twenty taels of silver. Thirty taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family to earn two taels of silver.
Nian's family had enough money to spend. However, since Yu Qin fell in love with Liu Sanniang, a Qinghuan in Hualou, the money was not enough. If he wanted to listen to Liu Sanniang's music, he would have to spend more than ten taels of silver at a time. Moreover,
This is just the money to get in. When you meet a beautiful woman, you have to prepare a gift. Liu Sanniang has many nobles and nobles under her skirt. If his gift is too shabby, it will be turned into dirt.
Yu Qin wanted to mention it to his mother, for example, he wanted to have a shop to practice his skills. Unfortunately, he immediately hit a wall in this regard.
Guan said plausibly: "You are the eldest son of our Yu family, and you are responsible for the prosperity of our family. Your mind should be spent on reading books from sages and making friends with like-minded people. How can you be delayed by such mundane matters as the shop? Or
You said you are short of money? If you find any pen, ink, paper and inkstone that you like, write it down directly in the account, and I will send someone to settle the account at the end of the month." Anyway, it is not her dowry.
Yu Qin had Guan's eyes on everything, and Guan knew exactly how he lost his money. She didn't intend to tear off his face and make mother and son turn against each other, which was not worth it.
She did not forget that she once asked Yu Qin to stay away from several bad friends, but instead he was scolded by them for being too short-sighted.
How could Yu Qin dare to let his mother know that he had spent his money in a brothel, so he could only find a way to deceive her.
At first, he would take out the gold and silver ingots he had saved in previous years. After the silver was used up, he could only watch Liu Sanniang play the piano for other men. But if he gave up like this,
He was unwilling to give in. Liu Sanniang's hot and cold attitude tickled his heart.
"Look at how poor he is. He can't even afford ten taels of silver, and yet he acts like an official young master all day long."
"Miss Liu's guest today is the second young master of the Su family. The second young master is very generous. It is said that he gave Liu Sanniang a set of exquisite ruby hair and face. This is the style that an official young master should have."
Yu Qin heard someone stepping on him and praising others, and the praise was his love rival. The anger in his heart ignited. When he saw Su Buyan walking out of Liu Sanniang's boudoir, he couldn't help but
I was stunned - they were still acquaintances.
Their fathers have been close friends for many years, and the two families often move around. Yu Qin and Su Buyan are naturally familiar with each other. When facing Su Buyan, Yu Qin still has a slight sense of superiority in his heart: he is a scholar at a young age,
Su Buyan took the exam several times but failed.
When Su Buyan saw Yu Qin, he was stunned for a moment. He opened his fan and looked graceful, "Brother Yu Qin, why are you here too? Do you want to see Sanniang?"
"Sanniang has been booked by me this month, so I can't accompany you. But even if I don't book Sanniang, you won't have any money, right?"
Yu Qin always put on airs in front of Su Buyan. Su Buyan had been dissatisfied with him for a long time, and now he could finally vent his anger.
He continued: "If you are short of money, just tell me and I can give you some. Don't buy those worthless things anymore. Sanniang is kind-hearted. She treasures all the rubbish given to her by others.
, but this is not the reason for you to ruin her."
Yu Qin could see his sarcastic look in his eyes and his sarcastic voice in his ears. This double blow caused the blood in his body to surge. He couldn't bear it anymore and strode forward directly, punching Su Bu hard with his fist.
Yan's face.
Su Buyan was immediately furious and fought back, and the two of them got into a fight.
The news that the young masters of the Su family and the Yu family were fighting over a jealous woman from a brothel spread throughout the capital overnight.
The two ministers, who were close to each other, were instantly embarrassed. They could only apologize to the emperor with a dark face, saying that they had not been strict in raising their children.
The emperor was impartial and fined both of them one year's salary. One year's salary was not a lot of money for them, but it was embarrassing.
The Su family has always loved Su Buyan, and even if they knew that he went to visit a brothel, they would not blame him too much. After Su Buyan cried and said that he was in so much pain from being beaten, he became even more resentful towards Qin. The two families were family friends.
, why was he so cruel?
On the other hand, Yu Qin was relatively unlucky. Yu Yang was so angry that he took a whip himself and beat Yu Qin's skin and flesh to pieces. Finally, he ordered his son to be locked up in the yard, and he was forced to copy four books and five classics every day, and was banned from walking for three days.
moon.
The more Yu Yang thought about it, the angrier he became. Although his son had acted inappropriately, the root cause was Liu Sanniang, the troublemaker. If she hadn't made the two families jealous over her, how could the Yu family have been so embarrassed?
If we continue to keep her, we don't know how much trouble will arise.
Yu Yang thought that after the decisive moment was over, he would send someone to deal with Liu Sanniang.
As a result, something happened to Liu Sanniang before he took action.
Liu Sanniang encountered various killing tricks within ten days - she was pushed into the police, the water she drank was poisoned, and she was assassinated when she went to the temple to offer incense...
At the end, Liu Sanniang left a suicide note with grief and anger, which said that becoming a brothel woman was not what she wanted, and she could not stop others from being grudged against her. She knew that her existence was an eyesore to noble people, so in order to preserve the body, she could at least
Choose your own way of dying.
Then he drank poisoned wine and committed suicide.
How could it not be heartbreaking that a weak and helpless brothel woman endured hatred that she should not bear and was forced to commit suicide? Liu Sanniang won the deep sympathy and pity of the people in the capital.
Everyone's suspicious eyes also turned to the Yu family and the Su family.
In all likelihood, it was these two families who took action! Liu Sanniang was so miserable, it was obviously not her who tied up the young masters of these two families to come to the brothel.
After Yu Yang knew the outside world's opinions, he almost suffered internal injuries from anger.
It was obviously not him who did it! He was not stupid, how could he choose to kill Liu Sanniang at this time.
Maybe it was the Su family who took action. Su Fan really didn't have any brains.
He was indignant in his heart, but he couldn't stop the blame being placed on him.
Originally, Yu Yang was still very interested in discussing with Su Fan the plotting against Su Yueling and Yuan Suijun, but now he no longer has this idea and just wants to wash away the dirty water that has been spilled on him as soon as possible.
…
An hour after Liu Sanniang, who was supposed to be dead, was buried in the soil, her coffin was dug out and the coffin boards were pried open.
A woman in a curtain hat gave Liu Sanniang some medicine. After a breath, Liu Sanniang opened her eyes. She looked around, with a happy look on her face.
The faceless woman said calmly: "From now on, you are free. But I advise you to leave the capital. If you want to leave the capital, I can give you a ride."
Liu Sanniang bowed her head and her voice was full of gratitude, "Thank you so much, my benefactor."
