win the hairpin

Chapter 25

The wedding was set for September [-]th.

"No," Mrs. Song shook her head, "Your marriage is important, and the dowry and bride price have not been paid, so I have to keep an eye on it."

"Let's come back when the dowry and dowry are delivered," Song Huiyue reassured Mrs. Song, "You ordered the dowry two years ago, there is only more and no less, there is still time anyway, the city is in a mess, I'm afraid of going out and getting into trouble."

Mrs. Song was also afraid of attracting attention at this juncture, so she was very moved. After thinking twice, she made up her mind: "Okay, let Lao Lin and his wife look at the house."

So the family split up to pack their things.

Before leaving, Song Huiyue asked Yin Xiao to speak to Xie Zhou quietly.

Their family is just a small fish in Tanzhou City, no matter where they swim, they are inconspicuous, and all eyes are on Zhang Xutang.

Sure enough, Zhang Xutang went to Yuelu Academy. Every day he went to school to sleep and was scolded.

Everyone said that Zhang Yanei wanted the prodigal son to turn back.

Everyone in the Fu family was happy for Yue Huaiyu, the two families were originally well-matched, but now that Zhang Yanei has changed his ways, it is impeccable.

Yue Huaiyu's mother said good things about Zhang Xutang, Yue Huaiyu listened to it with a smile, let the mother and maids turn on the lights to sleep, and lay on the bed staring at the bed curtains and sneered.

When she and Zhang Xutang came to Tanzhou, they all acted for the one on the dragon chair.

Their youngest sons and daughters are enemies, and they love each other, all to cover up the fact that the Zhang family is going to deal with King Jin.

In fact, love a fart!
It's all to make a step for King Yan!

She really had enough.

The elder sister is married to the King of Yan, and she is aloof before she becomes a crown princess. The sisters in her family visit her, but she doesn’t talk about her sisterhood. Liu Fangtong history.

She is not optimistic about King Yan.

He's not a concubine, he's not an elder, and his reputation is not right. Now it's difficult to find Lu Hong to create momentum for his entry into the East Palace and block the mouths of many people.

She also didn't want to marry Zhang Xutang, and she kowtowed to Concubine Zhang or the eldest sister every day, and she couldn't feel at ease for the rest of her life.

"Smells!"

The maid who was laying the floor outside hurriedly got up, held the lamp and went to Yue Huaiyu's bed: "What do you want my lady to tell you?"

"Did Mrs. Song say when she will be back?"

"No, but she shouldn't stay for long, her marriage is coming soon."

"Got it, let me know when she comes back."

She still wanted to see King Jin, this time not to inquire about King Jin's status, but to see if she could make a secret bet.

She despises Zhang Xutang, Zhang Xutang doesn't want to see her, she doesn't have a trace of coquettishness, and her airs are bigger than the sky, even if he and Yue Huaiyu are locked in the same room for three or five days, he will not look at her more .

One still needs to see, she is not ugly after all.

The plaque of the Zhou family was changed to Zhang's surname, and the study room in the front yard was brightly lit, and the figure of the young man was reflected on the bright paper, holding a volume to read carefully, but only one lamp was lit in the back yard, and there was no sound.

At first glance, it looks deserted, but once you open the door and enter, it is very lively inside.

A table of banquets was very rich, six teenagers sat down, Zhang Xutang was the chief, surrounded by three or four prostitutes with both sex and art skills, and a girl holding a pipa sat next to her, she didn't play, she just played it lightly. Red lips, whispering and singing, the singing voice is mellow, better than Liu Ying.

Zhang Xutang's hands were in the pile of Luo Yi, and he was groping up and down, already half drunk.

After drinking for three more rounds, Zhang Xutang smiled and said, "It is said that the women in Tanzhou City are strong, but I can't see it, but they look like they are made of water."

All the people here are the sons of nobles in the capital, and they spend their days in Yuelu Academy with Zhang Xutang. Hearing what he said, they all laughed.

"Brother, what you said, all the girls in the Goulan were beaten to death."

"That's right, it's the backyard women who are fierce."

A sister tried to persuade her to drink, so Zhang Xutang drank it and asked her, "Which one is the most famous pungent household in Tanzhou City? I'll meet you, sir."

The sister smiled and said: "This kind of thing, we will not let hard-working people like us know, whoever you want, are you afraid that you will not?"

Zhang Xutang asked the sister who sang the song again: "You sing well, you must often go in and out of the palace. Tell me who has the strongest temper. How many Xiyu flowers are there in the backyard of the prince."

"You lift me up so that I can show my shame in front of you." The singer said, "I don't know which way the palace's door opens. I only know that Prince Jin has raised a group of idlers, who either farm or hunt every day."

As for the woman in the back house, she kept silent.

They are already low to the bottom of the mud, so why bother making fun of other good girls to these people.

A young man laughed and scolded: "Is this the Prince Jin or some old farmer you're talking about?"

The sister who poured the wine interjected: "He's still planting rice seedlings."

Everyone cheered up: "Tell me what Jin Wang usually does?"

A few sisters heard the rumors and said that King Jin was a four-faced one. Zhang Xutang yawned and stood up and said, "I'm going to read for a while."

The others burst into laughter, seeing Zhang Xutang go to the study in front, and soon the sound of reading aloud came out.

The sound of reading only rang for a while, then stopped, and there was no more movement.

Everyone laughed again: "He must have fallen asleep."

In the study room, Zhang Xutang's eyes were piercing, and he was reading the tabloids of Tanzhou Prefecture.

The entire South Jing South Road, the files were reviewed by the Department of Penalty and Prison, and the wealth was inquired by the Department of Transit. Since King Jin arrived here, in the past ten years, it has already been turned upside down.

He didn't even need to look at the flaws that he couldn't even find out.

On the contrary, it is the tabloids published by the Tanzhou Prefecture Bookstore, which are more worthy of closer inspection.

The tabloids piled up like a mountain, and the butler he brought, Zhan Shizhao, was dazzled by reading them. He felt that the small print on them came alive and crawled like ants. He couldn't stand it anymore, rubbed his eyes, and took a breath.

Zhan Shizhao is actually Zhang Rui's shogunate, and he came here this time to serve Zhang Xutang wholeheartedly.

"It's all useless." Zhang Xutang threw away the tabloid and wiped his eyes hard twice.

"Second Master, look at this." Zhan Shizhao took out a list, "These are all people in Tanzhou who are related to King Jin."

Zhang Xutang took it in his hand, looked at the names one by one, and finally his eyes fell on the person who went out of Beijing with King Jin.

"Huang Ting is really loyal. What kindness does the Pei family have for him? And Xie Chuan, he even brought his son in."

After that, his finger landed on the word "Song": "It's so pitiful."

Although he said he was pitiful, there was no pity on his face.

He looked at Zhan Shizhao: "Who shall we choose?"

Zhan Shizhao had obviously thought it over, and said without hesitation: "Xie Chuan."

"Xie Chuan?" Zhang Xutang squeezed out these two words from between his teeth, chewed them back and forth, and wiped them clean.

It seemed that Xie Chuan was the only candidate to kill King Jin silently and find another ghost to take the place of the dead.
