"Miss An, my master would like you to lend me a moment to speak."
She ignored him and continued walking around him.
Seeing that Yu Fu was not doing things well, Yi Zhonglun came to block her in person in a carriage.
"What do you want to do? You are the prime minister, how can you be disrespectful to bully a weak woman in the street?"
"My fair lady, a gentleman is always courteous. You are not married and I am not married. Why can't I pursue you?"
In her previous life, when she bumped into Yi Zhonglun in the garden of Anhou Mansion, the guy had this slick face.
At that time, she had just experienced a failed marriage, and was accidentally enchanted by sweet words, making a decision that she would regret for the rest of her life.
Now, this guy actually used the same dirty tricks on her again.
So shameless!
Taking advantage of Yi Zhonglun's ugly face, she raised her hand and slapped him wildly several times, until he was stunned.
If Yu Fu hadn't come up to stop her, she would have kicked her a few more times.
"You little girl, you dare to beat the prime minister in the street, don't you want to live?"
"What's wrong with beating you? I'm still shouting, and I'm still shouting? Let everyone in the capital know that the dignified Prime Minister of the Xuan Dynasty wanders around Goulan incognito late at night, and even molests women from good families in the street!"
So she shouted at the top of her lungs.
Yi Zhonglun was afraid, looked around cautiously, got on the carriage in despair, and ran away like a frightened rabbit.
She finally let go of her resentment, and she felt much more comfortable.
But he didn't know how many pairs of eyes were secretly watching his every move.
Not long after, Sima Jiuniang chased her and wanted her to return to Haitang Pavilion.
Wealth and honor were sought in danger, and Jiuniang wanted to use this opportunity to build momentum and promote her as the most popular oiran in the capital, and the reward was very generous.
She only needs to do her part and get 30% of the profit.
Qianru was a little moved.
If he could make a fortune, he could take Zhixuan away from the capital, a place of right and wrong, and live a long and prosperous life.
So, she took Zhixuan back to Haitang Pavilion.
But this time it was different from before. Sima Jiuniang solemnly wrote a contract for her to sign.
Sima Jiuniang was very kind to her in taking her in and training her. She trusted her very much and put down the pen after a cursory glance.
I slept so late last night that I couldn't even open my eyes until the sun was up.
In a daze, she heard Jiuniang and her son Sima Yun arguing.
Sima Yun wanted to leave Haitang Pavilion, but Jiuniang refused.
Sima Yun angrily flipped off his mother's wife.
It turns out that Jiuniang is not a righteous and miraculous woman. The reason why she is able to run the Haitang Pavilion successfully is all because of her resourcefulness and means.
And these ingenuity and methods will inevitably harm some women who are not deeply involved in the world.
Qianru was a little scared, so she quickly took out the contract she signed with Jiuniang last night and took a closer look. She found that in an inconspicuous place, it was written that court officials of second rank or above could not refuse the request to accompany them, and they would be compensated 10,000 taels of silver for breach of contract.
She was so frightened that three souls disappeared and seven souls disappeared. It took a while before she came back to her senses.
Bang bang, Sima Jiuniang came knocking on the door.
She clutched the quilt nervously, thinking of countermeasures in her mind quickly.
Suddenly, a flash of spiritual light passed by.
She folded the contract and stuffed it into the sole of her shoe, then rubbed her eyes as if nothing had happened and opened the door.
Sima Jiuniang apologized guiltily to her with her usual friendly smile, "It's inevitable for people in our profession to be misunderstood. General Shangguan came to cause trouble last night, and Jun'er misunderstood me as a mother. She really has ten mouths."
Can't tell."
She quickly apologized for her speechlessness yesterday and Shangguan Yuan's impulsiveness, and invited Sima Jiuniang to go in and sit down.
Sima Jiuniang thought that she didn't find any clues, and even if she did, she would still be a bully, so she left with peace of mind.
In the evening Zhixuan came back from school and told her bitterly that he had been kicked out of school by his wife.
He didn't get enough sleep last night, so he accidentally dozed off while studying during the day. When the master asked and found out that he lived in Goulan Courtyard, he immediately refunded his tuition fees.
"Sister, is Haitang Pavilion Goulan?"
Qianru was both sad and angry. She secretly felt cruel and must get out of the predicament as soon as possible.
In the afternoon, during dance practice, Zhao Xianer called her to a secluded pavilion in the backyard to talk under the pretense of being a backup dancer.
After learning that she and Sima Jiuniang had signed a contract, Zhao Xianer's expression suddenly changed.
"She gave it to you and you signed it?"
She was unsure of Zhao Xian'er's temperament and did not dare to tell the truth. She nodded slightly and said many words of gratitude to Sima Jiuniang.
"Silly sister, your heart is so sincere. I provoked you several times and wanted you to leave in time, but I didn't expect you still fell into the mud pit. Do you really think there is such an easy reputation in the world? There is such easy money.
?”
Zhao Xianer found Sima Jiuniang peeping nearby, so she started singing with a smile, and only told her experience after she left.
It turns out that we are both fallen people from the end of the world.
Six years ago, Zhao Xian'er fell into trouble on the streets and was spotted by Sima Jiuniang. She was brought back to the Haitang Hall to be trained and trained, but she also signed a contract in a daze.
Later, it was too late to regret.
What Zhao Xianer said was sincere, but after experiencing so many lessons, Qianru had to be more cautious, so she did not reveal the truth to her.
"Sister is now the leading singer in Beijing. Isn't life smooth and beautiful?"
"Humph, you will soon know where all this so-called scenery comes from. There are distinguished guests booking the venue tonight, so you must be well prepared and don't lose sight of yourself."
She responded humbly, but felt a little uneasy.
Haitang Pavilion is a high-class singing and dancing hall. Although it is also despicable, it is a place where celebrities and nobles in the capital like to hang out.
Occasionally, court officials would come, but most of them were humble officials.
But since Sima Jiuniang dared to write that in the contract, she must have had some plans.
In the evening, she was putting on makeup backstage, and heard that the VIPs who booked the venue tonight were very special. Even the officers and soldiers who blocked the door were driven away.
Her hands shook and she accidentally painted her eyebrows. She quickly pretended to be calm and wiped them off and repainted them.
Zhao Xian'er noticed her abnormality and came forward to put lipstick on her lips, reassuring her that she would be back sooner or later.
She didn't respond, and she felt cruel silently, thinking that she would rather be in pieces than in ruins.
When she went on stage, she discovered that the person who booked the place was none other than King Gui, whom she had offended last night.
As soon as the dance started, King Gui shouted to Sima Jiuniang to come down and drink with her.
Sima Jiuniang greeted her with a smile like a flower, and called her several times. Seeing that she ignored her, she actually called Xiao Zhixuan to pour wine for King Gui.
Zhixuan tripped and accidentally spilled wine on King Gui's clothes.
The guard on the side immediately grabbed Zhixuan's little ears and threw him to the ground.
In order to save her younger brother, Qianru had to swallow her anger and toast King Gui.
At this time, Shangguan Yuan came in with a spear, grabbed the cup, and poured the wine on King Gui's face.
"Chop these bitches into pieces for me!"
The guards around them immediately drew their swords and slashed at them.
The scene was extremely chaotic. Shangguan Yuan was protecting Qianru, and Qianru was protecting Zhixuan. They were about to rush out of the Haitang Pavilion, and a large number of officers and soldiers rushed in, surrounding them.
King Gui is a man who must retaliate for his anger. Last night Shangguan Yuan and Qianru made a scene at his banquet. He couldn't bear the trouble at that time, so he designed a plan to teach them a lesson.
Two fists were unable to defeat four hands. Shangguan Yuan accidentally suffered a flesh wound and retreated to a corner while protecting Qianru's sister and brother.
Upon seeing this, King Gui was very satisfied and called for people to stop, and called Sima Jiuniang closer to ask questions.
"Has this little girl signed a contract of prostitution with you?"
"There is no body deed, there is only one like this."
Sima Jiuniang presented the contract signed with Qianru last night to King Gui, and pointed to the 10,000 taels of compensation agreed above.
"General Shangguan, for the sake of your dead father, I will not give you any trouble. As long as you can come up with ten thousand taels now, I will give this little girl to you."
King Gui expected that Shangguan Yuan could not produce it, so he asked An Qianru to accompany him.
"Wait a minute, what's ten thousand taels, what's an escort? Why didn't I see such a clause when I signed it last night?"
"The contract is made in two copies. If you have any questions, you can take your copy and compare it."
Qianru had been waiting for this moment for a long time. She took a step forward and said angrily: "I trust you so much, but you are planning to harm me. How could I know that my share in the house has not been tampered with by you? I want to see your share first.
Then go get it."
Sima Jiuniang didn't expect that she had been hiding the contract in the sole of her shoe, so she gave her one to her without any precautions.
Unexpectedly, she tore it to pieces on the spot and swallowed it into her mouth one by one.
"What a joke! Do you think you can deny it after eating it? This contract prince has seen it before."
"He has seen it and I have not. Who knows what you are colluding with and intending?"
Shangguan Yuan waved his spear and firmly protected her behind him, giving her enough time to destroy the evidence.
But how could King Gui and Sima Jiuniang be willing to fall short?
They quickly sent people to search for another contract, but found nothing.
When the two sides were in a stalemate, Yi Zhonglun led three thousand soldiers to surround Haitang Pavilion.
