The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 63 Jia Zhen Hospitality
The next day, Tu Rui came to Dongping County Prince's Mansion early, and first went to see Concubine Zhang, and then he and Mu Xu stayed in the study outside the front yard, waiting for news from Jia Zhen.

Waiting until noon, after lunch, seeing that there was still no news, Tu Rui was anxious to go back and forth in the study, seeing Mu Xu reading there with a look of leisure, he couldn't help complaining, "Why are you not in a hurry at all?" Woolen cloth?"

Mu Xu put down the travel notes in his hand, and gave him a supercilious look, "I told you to come back in the afternoon, who told you to come early in the morning?"

When he came to the table, he picked up the teacup and drank it all, then Tu Rui said, "I'm just anxious to see that kid's bad luck, have you made arrangements, why is there no news until now?"

Seeing that he was in a hurry, Mu Xu had no choice but to persuade him, "Don't be impatient, it's only past noon, and they must be eating wine."

Tu Rui went out to look at the sky, and seeing that it was indeed still early, he had no choice but to go back to the study, and simply leaned on the chair to take a nap.While Mu Xu was holding the travel notes in his hand, he was thinking about the matter that Jia Zhen sent people to Prince Yizhong's mansion after he left Ningguo Mansion yesterday.It's a pity that the secret agent of Prince Yizhong's mansion is now just a guard at the gate, and has not found any useful information.That's all, anyway, the news has been passed to the emperor, and he presumably has his own arrangements.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Tu Rui was about to fall asleep, and Yang An came in with a fan.It was reported that Jia Zhen, Zhen Shihong and his party had already left Ningguo Mansion and were being taken to the casino by Xue Pan.As soon as Tu Rui heard this, he immediately regained his energy and was about to pull Mu Xu forward.

Mu Xu was speechless for a while, "I asked Feng Ziying to make arrangements for the casino. It won't be too late when they go to the brothel. Let's wait for the news in the mansion."

It's a pity that Mu Xu's mouth is almost worn out, but Tu Rui just doesn't listen, "I'm really anxious in the mansion, I still want to go and see it with my own eyes to be relieved, and it's the same outside waiting for news."

Mu Xu couldn't resist him, so he agreed to go with him.The two headed straight for the casino with their entourage, led by Fan Zi to a small teahouse near the casino, and met Feng Ziying.

When Feng Ziying saw Mu Xu and Tu Rui coming, she hurriedly welcomed them in.Before he could say anything, Tu Rui asked anxiously, "What's the matter, did that kid go in?"

Feng Ziying glanced at Mu Xu, saw him nodding, and then replied with a smile, "Don't worry, my son, they have been in for half an hour. According to the adults, I have arranged a face-to-face meeting to accompany Zhen Shihong to gamble. "

After hearing his reply, Tu Rui clapped his palms excitedly and laughed, "Okay, then we'll wait and see the show." Then he said to Mu Xu, "Unfortunately, brother Zhen was grounded by the empress because of what happened last time. , you can’t see Zhen Shihong’s misfortune with your own eyes.”

Hearing him talk about Tu Zhen, Mu Xu also felt quite sorry, "He is no better than us, because of the previous incident, I am afraid that he will not be able to leave the palace in the near future, and it will make him happy to tell him about this in two days. "Tu Rui also nodded in agreement.

Several people sat in the teahouse and ate tea for more than an hour, when suddenly Feng Ziying called out, "They have come out." They quickly hid behind the window of the teahouse and looked out, only to see Jia Zhen, Xue Pan and Zhen Shihong Just walking out from the entrance of the casino with only three servants, that Zhen Shihong looked complacent, and was gesturing to talk to the two of them.

After they left for a while, they saw an unattractive man come out of the casino with a dejected expression on his face. After finding that no one was paying attention to him, he sneaked into the teahouse again, and went straight to Mu Xu and the others to respectfully salute.

Feng Ziying asked, "Chen Er, what's the matter?" Chen Er nodded, "I lost more than three thousand taels of silver to that man according to my lord's instructions, and I deliberately let him know that I am a horse dealer from the Northland." .”

After hearing this, Feng Ziying asked Mu Xu, "My lord, will you follow the plan?"

Mu Xu turned his head and asked Yang An, "What time is it?" Yang An replied, "My son, it's just past the end of time."

Mu Xu calculated the time in his mind, and then told Chen Er, "Take a few people to wait near the Piaoxiang Building, and then someone inside will come out to inform you. When you get the notification, bring someone in to find him bad luck. Remember We must take him out of the city before the city gate is closed at the second quarter of Shenshi."

Chen Er nodded, "Yes, my lord. I marked it down." Mu Xu nodded and smiled, "Okay, you go, remember to pretend."

After Chen Er left, the group of them also left the teahouse, detoured to the restaurant opposite the Piaoxiang Building, and entered the upstairs private room that Feng Ziying had prepared long ago. From the window, they could just see the Piaoxiang Building opposite the door .

At noon, because Tu Rui had something on his mind, he was already hungry, so he ordered someone to order a banquet, and the three of them sat down to eat and chat.Mu Xu asked Feng Ziying worriedly, "There won't be any problems in Piaoxiang Tower opposite, right?"

Feng Ziying responded with a smile, "Don't worry, my lord. Ever since I found out that Jia Zhen often went in and out of Piaoxianglou, my subordinates have inquired about the details of Piaoxianglou. This Piaoxianglou changed its owner three years ago, and the identity of this owner ..." After looking at Mu Xu and Tu Rui, who was feasting, Feng Ziying continued,
"The current owner of Piaoxianglou is the elder brother of Prince Zhongshun's concubine."

Tu Rui stopped his chopsticks, and said disdainfully, "Hmph, it's just deception, as if no one can see it, this is clearly Uncle Wu's own business."

Hearing what Tu Rui said, Feng Ziying also nodded in agreement, "Yes, in fact, everyone knows in their hearts that the master behind this brothel is Prince Zhongshun." Then he went back to Mu Xu's question just now, "Because of this, almost no one would It’s making trouble here. Besides, it’s still early and there aren’t many customers inside. Now, apart from the madam and the girls, there are only a few kitchen helpers and three or five servants, not even a thug.”

Speaking of this, Feng Ziying laughed, "It's really thanks to Brother Xue this time. If it weren't for him, who would have thought that Zhen Shihong would have such a quirk. Every time he finished gambling, he would come to the brothel, and he was so anxious As soon as I come up, I will take the girl to the room."

As he spoke, he shook his head and sighed, as if he felt that Zhen Shihong had no mood.Seeing him like this, Mu Xu couldn't help laughing, "I didn't expect Ziying to be a sympathetic master." Tu Rui wanted to ask, but remembering the last time he was ridiculed, he could only shut up.

The three of them were drinking in this room, but they talked about Jia Zhen's situation.

For what she wanted today, Jia Zhen tried her best to please Zhen Shihong. From the morning, she listened to operas and had banquets. After that, she and Xue Pan accompanied Zhen Shihong to the casino to gamble.Jia Zhen felt that even God was helping her today, and she forgot all the unhappiness of yesterday.

Just because they went to the casino that Xue Pan had been to in the afternoon, they didn't want to encounter someone who would take advantage of him. According to what he said, he was a horse dealer from the north.

The horse dealer was unlucky and loved to gamble, and he lost a total of more than three thousand taels of silver to his group.Even he had to sigh that these big merchants were really rich, which strengthened his idea of ​​getting Suzhou embroidery from Zhen's family.At that time, with Lian's second brother in Xiuyiwei, all kinds of exploitation can be saved on the way, and he will be sent to Beijing at that time... Thinking of this, he seemed to see Yinzi and waved to him.

He and Xue Pan only won less than one thousand taels, while Zhen Shihong alone won more than two thousand taels, so he was in a very good mood.Out of the casino, on the way to Piaoxianglou, Jia Zhen took advantage of Zhen Shihong's joy and mumbled her thoughts. Zhen Shihong patted his chest and took the package, which made Jia Zhen very happy.

The three of them entered the Piaoxiang Building with their own servants. The old bustard was surprised when he saw a guest coming, why did someone come at this hour? Greeted with a smile.When she found out that it was Jia Zhen, she was even more happy, this is a big spender.Now waving the handkerchief, twisting her fat buttocks, she stepped forward and said,
"Hey, isn't this Mrs. Jane, you haven't come to our place for a long time, people thought you forgot all our girls!"

In the past, Jia Zhen would definitely have stepped forward to tease the old bustard, but today she has something important to do, so she coughed lightly, "Mother Han, didn't you see this distinguished guest next to me, this is the eldest son of the Zhen family in Jinling , I haven’t stepped forward to wait for you.”
