Chapter 242
Mama Hong was also used to this kind of scolding, she nodded and smiled, "Don't worry, Master, Hongyan Pavilion has never let a guest say anything bad."

Xiao Ning shook his head helplessly, Cheng Feng was too vigilant.If Mama Hong had any suspicions, she would have been seized and sent to the government office for such a big business.

"I heard that my cousin Wanying has been here for a few days. I don't know what kind of service made her miss it so much?" Xiao Ning threw down the 100 taels silver ticket and looked around.

Mama Hong's eyes lit up. There are many rich and beautiful women who come here, but none of them has ever been so generous.

"It turns out that Miss Xiao is your cousin. It's a coincidence that she is on top. Or, the old slave will lead you there?"

There is nothing wrong with sharing a private room between cousins ​​and sisters.

"Very good." Xiao Ning's eyes were clear and he smiled.

At this time, a short boy stepped forward in front of Mama Hong, and was about to speak, but when he saw Xiao Ning, he immediately shut up.

"You have no rules, you kid! Didn't you say don't do that stuff! My old lady doesn't spend a lot of money, and she insists on doing things like stinky feet! You are cheap, you!" Mother Hong saw the boy His face sank for a moment, and he stretched out his fingers to poke his temple.

The kid didn't dare to hide, just scratched his head and said: "Mother, you don't understand the joy of listening to gossip. If it's just for money, I won't do it."

He lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "I found out big news today! The concubine Xiao Ning of the Shangshu Mansion seduced a man last night!"

Xiao Ning raised his eyebrows, seeing that kid looked serious, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Ouch! You are going to die! What nonsense are you talking about!" Mama Hong, who served the daughter of the capital, naturally knew who was standing beside her, and quickly waved a handkerchief to stop her son's mouth.

Unexpectedly, that kid was nimble, so he dodged at will. Seeing that his mother didn't believe him, he widened his eyes and said seriously: "I'm not talking nonsense! A few days ago, the second young lady of the Xiao family only had a maid by her side. But the day before yesterday, a burly man came. He said he was going to be a guard, but the family only hired one as a guard, and even if you count night duty, you need two people!"

Mama Hong was jumping anxiously, but the boy hadn't finished speaking.

"Last night, someone saw the big man enter the living room with his own eyes. After that, he must have entered the house. Afterwards, the candle in Miss Xiao's bedroom was extinguished. Isn't this a hooker?"

The story is well told, and it sounds very detailed.If Xiao Ning was not the person involved, she might believe it.

"You have been fooling around with these cronies all day long, and you can only spit out dirty words! See if I won't beat you to death today!" Mama Hong blushed, walked to the side and picked up a feather duster, chased after the boy and beat him.

The mother and son, one chasing and fighting the other, made a fuss in the pavilion.

Xiao Ning shook his head helplessly, he should be angry at being spread such rumors, but seeing this farce, he couldn't get angry at all.

Besides, the rumors were not spread by them.

The kid was running around the tables and chairs, and Mama Hong was holding up her skirt and yelling at the back. After a while, her slightly plump figure was too tired to run.

"Boy, come here." Xiao Ning was not in a hurry to go up to find Xiao Wanying, since she wanted to inquire about her, she would definitely stay here all day.

She sat on the guest seat and waved to the kid who was being chased.

Seeing that his mother was exhausted from chasing after her, the kid immediately hid behind Xiao Ning, as if begging for protection: "What are your orders?"

Xiao Ning took out a silver coin and stuffed it in his hand, and whispered a few words to him.

With a heavy amount of money in his hand, the kid also nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I won't do anything else, I'm good at lying and acting!"

After staying in the Red Face Pavilion for a long time, he was used to seeing the hypocrisy of the rich ladies, so he would naturally be affected by it subtly.Xiao Ning didn't suspect that he was bragging at all, and just followed him to the attic.

Seeing her son begging for a reward and winning the favor of the benefactor, Mama Hong suppressed her anger for the time being.

In front of the door of a private room on the top floor, the kid glanced at Xiao Ning, got a nod and knocked on the door.

"Miss Xiao, the news you want has come, do you want to return it now?" The boy squeezed his voice, sounding more submissive.

"Talk." Xiao Wanying said in an arrogant and long voice, "I didn't tell you, if you make any progress, report back directly, don't waste time asking for instructions."

Xiao Ning outside the door sneered in his heart when he heard this.

It turned out that Xiao Wanying was so eager to hear her gossip that she didn't even need to ask for instructions.Thinking of her being the majestic No. [-] lady in Kyoto in the past, when the son and the young master saw her, they would clasp their fists and bow to her, and perform all the etiquette.

"Today's news is even more interesting. It was reported that His Highness Nasi has returned to the capital. Secret investigations into his being framed for murdering his wife have begun. The imperial envoy traveled alone a few days ago. I don't know if it is with His Highness It’s about returning to Beijing.”

The kid spoke fluently but also with a little fear, as if he was telling a terrible secret, worried about being overheard.

The atmosphere is really well created.

Xiao Ning couldn't help giving him a thumbs up, and gave him another silver coin.

"What! Si Ruiyan is back!" Xiao Wanying cried out in surprise.

She almost had a broken voice.

"I heard it! I just heard it!" The boy quickly echoed, "It was all mentioned casually by the people in the teahouse, and the big guy just said a few more words. Didn't you say, Miss, that everything should be answered truthfully."

He took a careful look at Xiao Ning.

Xiao Ning nodded, indicating that he was right.

There was no sound from the private room for a long time, and it was only after a long time that Xiao Wanying said: "Apart from this, is there any other news?"

The boy cleared his throat, straightened his body, and said loudly as if reciting a letter: "The second young lady of the Xiao family has been guilty of going out because of gossip these days. The daily food is also delivered by the servant of the Song family restaurant. , almost never leave his own house."

These were all taught by Xiao Ning. Seeing that this kid not only recounted it perfectly, but also added some embellishments to him, without much offense.

Such an eloquence is worthy of growing up in the Hongyan Pavilion where we welcome and send off.

"I don't dare to go out now. If she knows that the person suspected of murdering her has returned, wouldn't she be so frightened that she will cry for her father and mother." Xiao Wanying snorted coldly.

The kid said again: "Second Miss Xiao recently hired a guard, who looks extremely strong, Miss, do you want to do something about it?"

Xiao Ning's eyes were sharp, and he quietly listened to the response inside.

"Your boy is getting better and better. It's just that Xiao Ning is so sick now that no one will believe that she seduces a man. Even if it is a rumor, it must have something to be believed, otherwise it will become nonsense." Xiao Wan Ying whispered coldly.

"Continue to inquire about the news."

She didn't give too many orders.

"Second Miss, do you see this?" The kid's voice was as low as a mosquito.

Xiao Ning also whispered: "Ask her if you want to help release other rumors?"

"The storyteller in the teahouse has been telling the previous story for a few days. The neighbors in the neighborhood want to hear something new. I wonder if Missy has any other orders?" The boy understood the meaning, and turned to the room again. Said.

"Let them get bored if they are tired of hearing it, and the rumors will be more credible if they suffocate their appetite."

At this moment, the door opened, a woman's hand stretched out, dropped a bank note, and then closed the door again with a bang.

Seeing the banknote, the boy's eyes lit up, and before the banknote landed, he quickly copied it.
