Tan Qianyang's eyes were like daggers, staring at the old bustard.
The madam was a little flustered, but she gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice: "Zheng Niang suddenly fell ill last night and died before the doctor even came."
"Mr. Tan, Mr. Chen, I don't mean to hide the news. But our Huayulou is a place for fun and fun. How can we let this kind of thing ruin your interest?"
"So, please forgive me, gentlemen!"
Tan Qianyang still stared at the old bustard.
Chen Yu frowned.
What the madam said is reasonable.
Although the incident happened suddenly, it is indeed normal for the madam to conceal the information, as she did not want to affect the business.
"Brother Yang, this is really disappointing. I didn't expect something like this to happen."
"Let me see, why don't you come back in a few days?"
Chen Yu also felt disappointed.
He was impatient at first.
But think about the wonderful man I met yesterday, and he died today.
He also lost interest.
Tan Qianyang kept frowning.
He felt something was wrong with Zheng Niang yesterday.
But the other person was just in a melancholy mood, not sick.
How could he die of illness overnight?
"I'm really sorry for spoiling your two young masters' interest."
"Next time you two gentlemen come back, I will definitely ask the girls to take good care of you."
The madam apologized profusely.
Seeing that Chen Yu and Tan Qianyang seemed to be leaving, the madam felt a little relieved.
As long as Tan Qianyang is sent away and she handles Zheng Niang's funeral affairs, the matter will be over.
"Peng".
But at this moment, the door to the private room was suddenly knocked open.
A maid rushed in from outside the house and knelt directly in front of Tan Qianyang.
"Mr. Tan, my young lady died miserably!"
"Master, please bring justice to my young lady!"
Without saying a word, the maid made three "bang bang bang" sounds and hit her forehead heavily on the ground.
"Hmm? Green Willow?"
Both Tan Qianyang and Chen Yu recognized this maid.
Astonishingly, it was Lu Liu, the maid serving beside Miss Zheng.
Seeing Green Willow, the old bustard's expression changed, and he immediately shouted sternly: "Someone, drag this nonsense little girl out and lock her in a woodshed to starve for three days!"
Then, the madam explained: "You two gentlemen, don't believe this little girl."
"Because Zheng Niang died, the little girl has reached her age and is about to comb her hair. I feel a little awkward."
"So this little girl doesn't hesitate to come here and talk nonsense to disturb the enjoyment of the two young masters."
"I'll teach her the rules right now!"
"Shu Luo" means picking up guests for the first time.
Luliu was bought to Huayulou, and because she was young, she went to serve Zheng Niang.
Zheng Niang has always protected her, otherwise she would have been combed long ago.
Now that Zheng Niang is dead, Luliu may take risks in order not to comb her hair, hoping to get Tan Qianyang's help.
If it was just the little girl's scheming, Tan Qianyang would naturally ignore it.
However, when Zheng Niang was involved, Tan Qianyang had to ask clearly.
"stop!"
Several thugs from Huayulou were dragging Luliu away from the private room.
Tan Qianyang shouted loudly.
Suddenly, the guards outside the building also heard the sound and immediately came up to surround the Huayulou thugs.
For a moment, the thugs looked at each other, but they did not dare to drag Luliu anymore.
"Master Tan, you..."
The old bustard wanted to say something more, but Tan Qianyang waved his hand to shut up the old bustard.
"Luliu, please come forward and tell me carefully, how did Miss Zheng die?"
Tan Qianyang said in a deep voice.
Immediately, Lu Liu broke away from the thugs, came to Tan Qianyang, and said clearly: "The thing is like this, the young lady met a heartless man Li Shusheng..."
With Luliu's explanation, Tan Qianyang finally understood the whole story.
To put it simply, Zheng Niang met Li Shusheng, a scumbag who cheated money and sex.
Li Shusheng promised to marry Zheng Niang, but he had no money.
Zheng Niang gave all her hard-earned money to Li Shusheng.
As a result, Shusheng Li took the money and ran away, and no one has been found so far.
Then Zheng Niang became depressed, probably because she was deeply in love.
Last night, Zheng Niang committed suicide while Lu Liu was not paying attention.
The madam wanted to suppress the matter because she felt it was too embarrassing.
My own girl was defrauded of money and sex by a heartless man and even committed suicide.
That was a huge blow to Huayulou.
You may even become the laughing stock of your peers.
"Just for a Li Shusheng?"
Tan Qianyang was speechless.
They say bitches are heartless and actors are meaningless.
Zheng Niang is very affectionate.
"Mr. Tan, the lady once said before her death that you were her only confidant."
"If she leaves one day, I will give you the guzheng and music score."
"I thought the lady was just talking casually, but who would have thought that she actually committed suicide..."
Luliu's eyes turned red and she began to sob softly.
It seems that she does have a deep love between master and servant.
She probably also treats Zheng Niang as her own sister.
After all, Zheng Niang always protected her during her lifetime.
Otherwise, in a place like Huayulou, you wouldn’t be fifteen or sixteen years old and still haven’t combed your hair.
"close friend......"
Tan Qianyang took the guzheng from Luliu's hand.
The moment Tan Qianyang's hand touched the guzheng.
Suddenly, lines of small words appeared in front of his eyes.
"A guzheng that expresses the deep sorrow of Zheng Niang."
"There is no greater sorrow than the death of a heart, when an infatuated girl meets a man who betrays her heart."
"There may be a lot to be gained by resolving the grief of Zheng Niang in the guzheng!"
Tan Qianyang's eyes narrowed slightly.
He looked at the lines of small words that appeared in front of him.
My heart was shocked!
How long?
He finally encountered different rhetoric.
It is no longer an "ordinary guzheng" or "an ordinary guzheng".
But “There may be a lot to gain!”
What is the premise?
Resolve the grief of Zheng Niang in the guzheng!
“What does it mean to be fruitful?”
"Is it an energy point?"
Tan Qianyang's heart was pounding.
As long as there are changes, it will prove that his panel is not "waste".
He had always wanted to find some "special" objects.
Now it seems that I have finally found it.
It’s the guzheng in front of me!
"Shua".
Tan Qianyang raised his head.
He looked at the green willow in front of him.
If he doesn't do something.
Luliu’s fate must be tragic!
If it was just a casual acquaintance with Zheng Niang, then Tan Qianyang wouldn't be too lazy to meddle in other people's business.
However, Luliu sent him a guzheng.
That would be different.
"Lvliu, would you like to stay with me and be a maid?"
Tan Qianyang suddenly spoke.
"ah?"
Luliu opened her mouth wide.
But then, her heart began to beat "bang bang".
Be a maid?
Of course she is willing!
That's like jumping out of the fire pit and escaping from the tiger's mouth.
After all, who wants to stay in Huayulou?
"Yes, I do!"
"Thank you Mr. Tan!"
Luliu was so happy that she kowtowed a few more times.
"Okay, stop kowtowing, or it will break if you kowtow again!"
Tan Qianyang turned his attention to the madam and asked calmly: "Mama Liu, I want to redeem my life for Lu Liu, is that okay?"
"No problem, of course no problem."
"It is this little girl's good fortune that Master Tan likes Luliu."
The madam's face looked ugly.
However, she did not dare to say the word "no".
In the Tan Mansion of Anyang County, except for the county magistrate and a few wealthy families, who dares to disobey the Tan Mansion?
She didn't even dare to say anything about the price.
I only received one hundred taels of silver to redeem myself, which can be considered a normal or even low market price.
"Okay, Luliu, let's go back first."
"Brother Chen, I have ruined your mood today. I will apologize in a few days."
Tan Qianyang and Chen Yu parted ways.
Tan Qianyang has no interest in anything now. He just wants to rush back as soon as possible to study the condition of the guzheng and its panel.
"It's easy to say. Brother Yang will deal with the business first."
Chen Yu also bowed his hand, then got on the carriage and left.
Tan Qianyang hugged the guzheng and didn't care about admiring the street scene anymore. He directly got on the carriage and returned to Tan Mansion.
As soon as he returned to Tan Mansion, Tan Qianyang said to Luliu: "Lvliu, come in with me."
"Hongmei, you stay outside the house and no one is allowed in!"
Tan Qianyang ordered with a solemn expression.
"Yes, Master."
Hongmei felt a little aggrieved and even took a deep look at Luliu.
She doesn’t know where she “lost”?
It's actually not as good as a little girl in a brothel.
But she didn't dare to disobey Tan Qianyang's orders.
Therefore, I had no choice but to stay outside the house.
