The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 223

Seeing that the master was a little abnormal after he came back from Yichun Courtyard, he was having fun for half an hour while drinking, Madam Zheng felt that something was wrong.

Asked: "Master, why are you so happy about the joke that Huang Han has become the capital?"

Zheng Guochang took a sip of wine, and the old god said: "A joke? Haha, no, no, it's a good talk, and it will be a good story!"

"My lord, could it be that what happened to Huang Han is just a rumor? No! Today Xiaoqian also went to Yichun Courtyard, and when he came back, he said that he had a good nose and eyes. When Huang Han saw Mr. Xu Ge knocking on the door, he hurriedly climbed three walls and escaped. gone."

"Ah? Did Xiaoqian say this himself?"

"Yes! Is there something wrong?"

"Bastard boy! Come on, tell me to go down, Xiaoqian will be grounded for a month from today, and he will be punished to copy the university five times."

"Master, why did you punish your son for no reason?"

"Just because of him spreading rumors, Huang Han ran over three walls in a row? It seems that he saw it with his own eyes. I think he must have seen a ghost! You know, he is Huang Han's uncle, he said so, and what Huang Han's scandal is not confirmed. Alas! This boss is far inferior to the third child!"

Zheng Xiaowen is the second son of the concubine and the third eldest. He also has an older brother and a younger brother.

"Master, don't be a fool, tell me the ins and outs!"

Zheng Guochang looked at his wife with drunken eyes, hesitated to speak, and said after a long time:

"I can't say it. If I say it, it will be lightning and thunder. Especially not to let Xiu'e know. In fact, I am very worried. Sometimes I even think that Huang Han might as well be caught by Mr. Xu Ge in Yichun Courtyard." , so there is no need to worry about it."

"The more you talk about the concubine, the more confused you become."

"Forget it, be confused when you get confused! It's happier than pretending to be confused."

Zheng Guochang drank himself a few more cups, staggered to sleep, and Mrs. Zheng was in a daze.

Knowing that her daughter is smart and assertive, she went to Xiu'e's boudoir to talk about the master's obsession today.

Zheng Xiu'e heard her mother retelling her father's drinking words, and she felt that there was something hidden in it, and she had a plan in her heart.

Miss Zheng's family is scheming, and she is very patient. She actually waited patiently for three days after Xu Guangqi and Zheng Guochang made trouble in Yichun Courtyard, and then quietly put on her brother's green shirt and brought Rou'er to Yichun. hospital.

Nowadays, the business of Yichun Courtyard is booming, this is the advertising effect, the more scandalous and scandalous a place is, the more popular it is.

It stands to reason that the buildings in the afternoon should be quiet, but the Yichun Courtyard is different, there is a lot of traffic in front of the gate, and there is a constant stream of princes, grandchildren, wealthy businessmen and merchants in the gate.

Although Zheng Xiu'e appeared dressed as a scholar and found a table to sit and drink tea in the front hall of Yichun Courtyard, how could she hide it from the vicious-eyed turtle slaves, but these people didn't point out.

Rou'er asked a turtle slave to reward her with three coins, and asked the turtle slave to report that the purpose of her son's visit to Yichun Courtyard today is to see Miss Chuchu's beauty.

Guinu quickly put down the silver in his hand, he squinted at Rou'er and Zheng Xiu'e, and said proudly:
"Ms. Chuchu of my family has already married someone from Congliang, and she is married to General Huang Han, the famous third-rank guerrilla in the imperial court. Now she is only staying in Peony Pavilion temporarily. Let alone you, the general will not be seen when the princes come."

Rou'er is an honest girl, she lost her mind when she saw what Gui Nu said, so Zheng Xiu'e spoke.

She took out an emerald jade bracelet and said to Gui Nu: "The general and prince will not see Miss Chu Chu, but she will definitely come to see me after seeing this bracelet, do you believe it?"

The whole body of this jade bracelet is dark green and flawless, and the turtle slaves have experience in high-end places for a long time, so of course they know that this bracelet is very valuable.

He said, "what's the meaning of this, my son?"

Gui Nu called Zheng Xiu'e's son-in-law, and told her not to pretend to be a noble son to meet girls in the brothel, but to explain her intentions honestly.

Zheng Xiu'e said: "Miss Chuchu and I are old friends, and this jade bracelet is a token. If you take the jade bracelet and report back to Miss Chuchu, you will definitely be rewarded."

Although Gui Nu was skeptical, he took the jade bracelet and went to Peony Pavilion, as expected, Chu Chu immediately came to invite him in person.

It didn't take long for the sound of piano and singing in Peony Pavilion to stop abruptly, and the sound of a woman's delicate crying was faintly heard, which seemed to be forcibly restrained intermittently.

Chu Chu's life has been like a year for the past few days. Today, the expectant lady suddenly felt that she could not bear it anymore after seeing her relatives. She cried so much that her flowers trembled.

Zheng Xiu'e heard Chu Chu say that Huang Han had already gone to Da'ankou, and she should lead the troops out of the customs at this time, she was shocked, tears welled up in her eyes, she said sadly:
"He actually went outside the pass, how could he be so bold? Sister Chuchu, do you know that fighting against Tartars and Jiannu outside the pass is no better than inside the pass.

If you find that the enemy army is powerful inside the pass, you can enter the city to hide and wait for the fighter. If you can't beat the enemy outside the pass, there is no possibility of escape if you are entangled by the enemy cavalry. "

Chu Chu, who was originally in a state of confusion, became even more flustered after hearing Zheng Xiu'e's words. She cried:
"Yeah... Sister, what should I do? Sister, I really don't want him to go outside the customs to kill the enemy, but I dare not persuade him to stay. It would be great if my sister was there at that time."

"Hey! It's the same. He is a great hero. How could he give up the plan after listening to our little girl? You have done a good job, and I have wronged you."

"What is this! I wish I could follow him to the outside of the pass!"

"No wonder he fell in love with you. You're so cute. My sister likes you very much too! Don't talk stupidly. Wouldn't it be more trouble if you followed me?"

"My sister doesn't dislike the lowliness of the slave family, and the slave family is deeply impressed, but I don't know if my sister can find out about him?"

"Today my sister will send my servants to gallop to Funing to find the third brother. The third brother is a member of the military department stationed by the imperial court in the 'Red Banner Army'. He can praise military affairs and must know the specific plan."

……

The two girls had a long talk and became very intimate, but unfortunately, both of them were worried about the fact that they couldn't be happy, and at the end of the chat, they were worried about Huang Han, and wept...

In the Forbidden City, Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen were both serving the emperor in the imperial study at this time, and they also apologized when they saw the emperor smiling happily.

They were strictly ordered by the emperor to report any rumors about Huang Han as soon as possible, so today they told the story of Elder Xu Ge and Zheng Fantai's disturbance in Yichun Courtyard.

After all, Chongzhen was a young man, and he found it interesting that Huang Han had alarmed the two important court officials, so he couldn't help laughing.

"When Elder Xu Ge and Zheng Buzheng came out of Yichunyuan, they threatened to go back in a few days. They also denounced Huang Guerrilla's indiscretions in public. It can be seen that the two of them have learned the inside story."
