The madam laughed when she heard this: "Yes, why, you don't believe what I say?"
"But Miss Jiang clearly said that Hongxiu is now imprisoned in prison!" Lu Yan couldn't accept it at all. How could things become like this? She always thought that Hongxiu had married Mr. Huang and was now in a rich life.
Now he suddenly told her that Hongxiu had failed and he had been imprisoned.
The bustard looked at her coldly and said, "So what? How can you not keep your shoes wet if you often walk by the river? Since you agreed to do this in the first place, you must be aware that you may be discovered one day."
Lu Yan looked at her in disbelief and murmured: "You didn't say that before..."
In the past, the madam never said this. Every time she talked about the stupidity of the rich young master and the opposite financial resources. The drama of the talented man and the beautiful woman was their favorite. The girl in Pingkangfang was a spendthrift.
She was trained at a high cost, and among other things, she still had some skills in bewitching men. In addition to the reasons that couldn't be stated openly, she didn't know if anyone else had made a mistake.
Because the madam only said that they were living a very good life every time, the girls believed it.
You can't stay in a place like a brothel for a lifetime. Serving people with sex will never last long. Almost most of the girls in the brothel hope to climb up to the rich and powerful. They don't want to be a royal wife, as long as they find someone from a well-off family.
In this family, being that aunt's doting concubine and living the rest of your life without worries about food and clothing, that is the most perfect ending.
If the other party happened to be a young master, for them, it would be like finding a treasure. Hongxiu's affair with Mr. Huang was envied by many girls in the building. This Mr. Huang is not ugly and is of the right age. There is no one in the family.
The main wife can at least live a comfortable life for a few years.
So in this "immortal dance" scam, the girls are all willing.
The madam is the bad guy, and the girls are the good guys. Then she pretends that she is willing to work as a cow or horse for the young master, and uses her only savings over the years to redeem herself. Anyone who really has some feelings for the girl will be passionate about it and spend a lot of money.
To redeem a girl's body, even though the price is more than twice as high as a real redemption.
Most of the money was given to the madam, and 30% of it was given to the girls. Although it was only 30%, it was still a very satisfactory figure for them.
Lu Yan has always wondered why Hongxiu continued to ask Mr. Huang for money after he had left Pingkangfang. It must be said that he was really obsessed, and Hongxiu was not stupid. How could he not know that he would completely lose his money?
man's heart.
At this time, the Madam gave her a white look and said, "But Prince Jiang does not want you. You have failed this time. I will take away 80% of the thousand taels this time."
After saying this, she said with disgust: "Hongxiu's talent and beauty are not as good as yours, but he got one thousand five hundred taels."
After saying that, the madam opened the curtain and went out. Midoriya looked blankly at the bead curtain swinging in mid-air, and suddenly felt that everything was meaningless.
In this way, she got two hundred taels of silver inexplicably, but she also lost her livelihood.
God knows, it is not uncommon for guests in this building to occasionally reward dozens of taels, and two hundred taels of silver is not much to her.
This time, it was completely overturned.
Midoriya sighed, slowly got up from the ground, dressed up, and was ready to receive guests.
…
In the Jiang Mansion, Jiang Qingshan had returned home. After hearing the whole story, he did not criticize Jiang Lu more, but was more interested in what Jiang Wu said.
"Is she really so sure about Beizhen Fusi's next move?"
Jiang Hu nodded, cupped her hands and said: "That's true. I looked at her very confidently, and I was very sure that nothing would happen to her. But after all, she is just a coward in Jinyiwei. She is young, so I'm afraid she is a little childish. I still have something in my hand.
There is some money. If there is nothing I can do about it, it doesn't matter if I give out these one thousand taels of silver."
"Where's the girl from Pingkangfang?" Jiang Qingshan raised his eyebrows.
Jiang Lu paused and said, "Returning to my father, my son only has pity for that girl. If he can make her behave, it will be a meritorious deed. But forget it, our house will not let girls from brothels enter the house.
"
Jiang Qingshan nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, you can go down. We must seize the time to train troops these days. The Xiaoqi Battalion will choose a coach in the near future, and His Majesty will personally award the rewards."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lu's face lit up with joy and she hurriedly replied: "Okay."
The Xiaoqi Battalion is an elite cavalry that has been trained in Daye for decades. In addition to its powerful attack power, it also has good defensive power. It is especially good at assault. It has made countless military exploits and made the enemy change their colors. The former general passed away due to illness.
Old General Xie managed it on his behalf, but after all, Old General Xie was old, so the imperial court held a selection to train a group of talented young people. Those with outstanding abilities could be the commanders.
Jiang Hu had just led Daye's army to win the battle at the border, and he was young. It could be said that he was the most promising among this group of selected people.
…
After Jiang Wu returned to the courtyard, he wrote a letter and sent Mo Hua to deliver the letter. He told her to put the letter in the alley behind Pingkangfang tonight. She would only come back if she saw a woman coming out and picking up the letter.
Mo Hua nodded in agreement, but still couldn't help but asked curiously: "If the girl wanted to deliver a letter, why did she leave it in the alley instead of giving it to the person directly?"
Jiang Wu smiled and said nothing, but said: "This is Jiang Taigong's fishing. Only those who wish to take the bait will take the bait."
Mo Hua barely understood it, so he dried the letter and put it properly into his sleeve.
After a while, the boy said that a visitor was coming to Fuqu Pavilion. Jiang Wu straightened his clothes and asked, "Who is here?"
Mo Hua said: "As for girls, the third lady is here."
Jiang Xuelan? Jiang Wu was startled, "Let her come in."
When Jiang Xuelan entered the house, even though she had already seen her once, she was still shocked when she saw Jiang Wu this time. When she saw Jiang Wu for the first time, her first impression was one of contrast - this man is said to have suffered in the market.
My sister, life seems to be full of flowers. The crane-shaped hairpin and the silk hairpin last time were all extraordinary. When I saw her this time, I saw that she was wearing a fiery red dress, which made her skin whiter than snow.
, his eyes were bright, he was probably in the house, he didn't wear any other jewelry, he only wore a brown flowing cloud wood hairpin in his hair.
Jiang Xuelan looked more steady than last time, and she saluted as she entered the door: "Join me, big sister."
Jiang Wu said a neutral "Hmm." "My sister is here today, but you have something to tell me?"
Jiang Xuelan looked at Jiang Wu, pursed her lips again, and finally said suddenly: "I heard that the eldest sister has a close relationship with the people in Jinyiwei?"
Jiang Wu paused for a moment, then smiled and waved his hand: "It's hard to talk about it, it's just that we have some contacts with former colleagues."
"Then will Master Fu come to my sister's recognition banquet tomorrow?"
