Chapter 74 Here Comes the Traitor Catch!
As the saying goes, good things don't go out, and evil things travel thousands of miles.

Suzhou Mansion was not far from Yingtian Mansion, and now the transportation is convenient.

Peng Ke's forefoot had just pressed the disciples of Xia Ke Island into the prison in Suzhou Prefecture, preparing to be exiled and sentenced.

In less than two days, in the Yingtian mansion here, the news about him taking the oiran to suppress the bandits has spread throughout the city.

Good guy, this is gossip from the Commander of Jin Yiwei!
A rare encounter in ten years!
The people all over the city were happily discussing how beautiful Gu Nianqing was, how he could fascinate the murderous King Peng Yan.

Many people showed envy on their faces, imagining what a beautiful woman they should be, and how cool it would be if they committed themselves.

And the girls in the city were secretly scolding Gu Nianqing for being a coquettish fox, a vixen, shameless!
Although Penke's reputation in the past two years has been a little bit bad.

But before that, Peng Ke was also the top noble son of Yingtian Mansion, he had a prince in his family, and he was handsome and suave.

And the talent is outstanding, he developed the telegraph at a young age!

Back then, Peng Ke was also the TOP1 in the wishful man list in the heart of this girl in the city!

She is the dream lover of all the unmarried girls in Ying Tianfu!
Now he is actually fascinated by an oiran?
How can this be accepted by them!
On the other hand, the officials and soldiers in the city were all silent, and they didn't dare to gossip at all.

Jin Yiwei doesn't care about the common people, but keeps an eye on the officials every day!
Dare to gossip about the life and style of the head of the Jinyiwei, are you not afraid of being put on small shoes by the embarrassing Peng Ke?

"Miss, my uncle ransomed an oiran in Suzhou Mansion!"

"Listen to them, my uncle still wears this oiran with him!"

"Humeizi! Smelly shameless!"

Like a gust of wind, the cute and mellow little maid Yuan'er rushed into Mu Xiyun's boudoir, panting to report the gossip she had heard from the concierge to her young lady.

"Don't talk nonsense, it's not my uncle."

Mu Xiyun unhappily stretched out his hand and tapped the little girl's white forehead with her jade finger, a little panicked with embarrassment, but at the same time asked a little sourly: "Where did you hear the gossip again?"

"Brother Peng went to Suzhou Mansion for official business, so why would he linger in brothels?"

Yuan'er puffed her mouth out angrily, and muttered in a low voice: "You said you weren't my uncle, and I didn't say your name. Miss Peng, you can even deceive yourself and others."

"Yuan'er, I think your skin is itchy. Miss hasn't punished you for a long time, right?"

Mu Xiyun blushed and patted Yuan'er's pink and round face, pretending to be angry and reprimanded: "Say it!"

Yuan'er pouted, and said honestly, "The porters are all talking about this."

"It is said that the news came from the Suzhou Mansion. Many people in the Suzhou Mansion saw with their own eyes that my son-in-law took that foxy son on a boat and headed for the Knight Island."

"And that Hu Meizi was redeemed by my uncle a few days ago. I heard it cost 3000 taels of silver!"

"This incident has caused heartbreak for many sons and scholars in Suzhou Prefecture. The famous oiran of Suzhou was actually picked off by a son-in-law from the capital."

Yuan'er talked more and more vigorously, dancing with her hands and feet, as if she had witnessed this scene with her own eyes, and her face was extremely angry.

"That Gu Nianqing's glamorous name has spread all over the Suzhou government, and everyone says she is beautiful and talented. I think those Suzhou people have never seen the world!"

"Miss is truly talented and beautiful. It's just that Gu Nianqing is not as shameless as Gu Nianqing, who shows up every day and entertains people with sex. She's just a vixen!"

As Mu Xiyun listened, his expression turned a little pale.

Although she actually didn't have any special thoughts about this marriage at the beginning, it was the words of the matchmaker ordered by her parents.

Since you can't resist, you can only try to accept it.

Later, after meeting Penke, she had a good first impression of him. She felt that he was indeed a rare lover. Maybe it would be good to commit herself to him. the result of.

But this time around, Peng Ke is actually playing the courtesan in Suzhou Mansion?

And this move is 3000 taels of silver?
I'm afraid she didn't take her money and raise other women outside!
Gritting her silver teeth lightly, Mu Xiyun tried to comfort herself and said, "The oiran entertains people with sex, but eventually falls to the bottom. Brother Peng was fascinated by beauty for a while, it's understandable."

"However, this kind of brothel's daughter is difficult to enter the elegant hall after all."

"After a while, I'll get tired of it."

"nothing.nothing"

But this kind of lying to himself couldn't calm down the inexplicable emotion in Mu Xiyun's heart.

A few minutes later, Mu Xiyun became more and more angry as he thought about it!

"bang"

Hitting the table vigorously, Mu Xiyun's eyes glowed, he looked directly at Yuan'er, almost gritted his teeth and said, "Go, let Guanshi Liu buy two train tickets to Suzhou Mansion!"

"Be the first one!"

Yuan'er let out a cute "Ah" and asked in puzzlement, "Miss, what are we going to do in Suzhou Mansion?"

"Inspect the textile factory!"

The next day, at the dawn of morning, Mu Xiyun took the maid, took the first train, and headed for Suzhou with a bang.

An hour and a half later, Mu Xiyun, who packed lightly and only brought 3000 taels of silver, arrived at the train station outside Suzhou City.

Taking a taxi from the train station casually, Mu Xiyun took Yuan'er to the large textile factory of Mu's Weaving in Suzhou Fu Industrial Zone.

Yuan'er followed Mu Xiyun in a daze to inspect the factory full of steam looms, and looked at the mechanical looms connected to the steam engines, mechanically weaving out cloth products one by one, with a look of confusion on his face.

Now Mu's textile factories have basically completed full-scale industrialization, and the looms are all driven by steam power, which does not require manpower at all.

In a huge factory building, rows of weavers stood beside the looms, maintaining the normal operation of the looms, adding cotton yarn to them from time to time, or taking out the woven gauze.

The textile machine driven by steam power greatly improved labor productivity.

The weavers only need to repeat some simple tasks to obtain piles of finished textile products.

Basically, what you can see during the inspection is all mechanized assembly line work, which is meaningless at all.

It doesn't even happen that workers are lazy.

Such an easy weaving work is much easier than the manual weaving with human looms before. What else is there to be dissatisfied with?
However, Yuan'er has some opinions.

"Miss, are we really here to inspect the textile factory?"

"Aren't we here to catch rape?"

Mu Xiyun gave her an angry look.

"What are you arresting? I'm not married to your young lady. I'm an innocent girl!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

　I have thought of the title of the second volume.
