Start with the humble bridegroom

Chapter 113
It is very difficult for ordinary people to call the servants in the yamen after nightfall, except for those who are behind the background of the murder case or Yunyin Pavilion.Seven or eight people from the Dinghu county government office attached to Fucheng came, and the matter involved Shangyin scholars, Yunyinge and Zhang Xinzhi, a great talent in the county, but they were doing business.

Even when the yamen servants searched Zhang Zhe's previous room, there were a few Shangyin scholars who followed him all the way, but they searched inside and out, upstairs and downstairs, and found nothing wrong.In addition, everyone in the building gave Zhang Zhe an alibi, so the leader finally determined that Zhao Chibi had hysteria.

This result is highly recognized by almost all Shangyin scholars.

Zhao Chibi certainly didn't have that much money to pay to Yunyinge, he gritted his teeth and asked his fellow villagers to borrow it, and owed a huge debt of more than 200 taels.He only hated Zhang Xinzhi to death in his heart, but he didn't want to see who would provoke him first.

Unexpectedly, the old bustard of Yunyinge accepted Zhao Chibi's money, his expression changed again, and he greeted Zhao Chibi with the same smile as before.

"In ancient times, the rules of our business never drove the benefactors out of the door after earning all their money. Mr. Zhao Langjun in the first-class room is too shy to live in it now. The second-class room I have is here In one room, I dare not accept any more money from Mr. Zhao, Mr. Mr. Zhao just lives until the day when the list is released, and the daily meals and meals are a bit vulgar."

This mother's way of dealing with guests was one set after another. Not to mention that other people immediately liked Yunyinge greatly after hearing this, even Zhao Chibi had mixed feelings in her heart.

Only Zhang Zhe watched this scene upstairs, but his heart was like a mirror.

The old procuress just wanted to keep the topic character Zhao Chibi in her cabinet, to satisfy the curiosity of some guests and to preserve the continuity of tonight's topic.How much is a side room and daily meals worth?It is far less attractive to guests than keeping Zhao Chibi like a monkey.

She is not kind, she just wants to make more money.

Zhang Zhe was about to take Sanqi away, but was held back by Mr. Luo San, and Huo Bingcheng also held the other hand, and the two of them laughed and pulled him to the big apartment on the third floor.

To be honest, Zhang Zhe didn't really want to deal with the Luo family because of the letter that the second girl Luo had written to Meng Xiaowan.

However, Luo Chengfeng, the third son of Luo, opened his mouth about the relationship between his sister-in-law and Meng Xiaowan, making it impossible for Zhang Zhe to refuse.Originally, Zhang Zhe thought that the Luo family might have some opinions on him. If he continued to decline, he might really offend people for no reason, so he had no choice but to follow them.

There were seven or eight scholars and yamen in this room, except for Luo San, Zhang Zhe, Huo Bingcheng and another scholar named Chen, after Pu Yi introduced Zhang Zhe, he knew that the rest were scholars from the county.

These people drank just right, and when they saw Zhang Zhe coming, they all said hello in unison, and they all called the word "Xiandi" loudly in their mouths.

Instead, Zhang Zhe was fooled into thinking that he had come to Song Heizi's Juyi Hall.

There is really a big man named Shi Xiu in Piansheng, who was a scholar six years ago.This person is not good at fighting people desperately, but he has an excellent skill in painting ladies.

When he was drunk, Shi Xiu sighed that he had always wanted to draw a picture for the girl Luozhu in Yunyin Pavilion, but Luozhu had always refused.Up to now, Luozhu girl seems to be tired of his "entanglement", and is no longer willing to take his plate.The bleakness in his tone pretended to be extremely earnest.

Luo Chengfeng laughed out loud.

"Brother Shi is good at Danqing, but he can't match Miss Luozhu's temperament. No one knows that Miss Luozhu's favorite is the melody with long and short sentences. If there are new words and good songs, Miss Luozhu will bother you again. Brother Shi , I’m afraid we’ll meet again. You just listen to me and find some unusual lyrics, and I’m sure Brother Shi will get what he wants.”

Shi Xiu shook her head in embarrassment: "You pretend I haven't tried it. I've searched for a lot of lyrics and music in the past few months, but none of them suit her, but I still can't see them."

The door creaked open.

A woman with a flat bun was about to enter the door, but she just heard someone mentioning her name, and she couldn't help but looked inward in surprise.

Under the slender willow-leaf eyebrows, the eyes were cold, and there was a smile on the corner of the mouth. It was the Luozhu girl that Zhang Zhe had only seen in the daytime.

The old bustard followed behind her with a smile on his face: "Masters, please forgive me, my daughter heard that all the talented people are here, so I couldn't help but come and have a look."

All the "sages" immediately turned their attention to Zhang Zhe.

But Zhang Zhe knew that this must not be what Luozhu himself meant. I am afraid that the old bustard forced Luozhu, who had just returned from studying opera in the small courtyard, to come here to see if he could find some poems from him, so that Luozhu Beads are by my side.

Zhang Zhe heard from Funiang Lin that this Luozhu is a very casual person, who only loves melodies and long and short sentences. If the old bustard hadn't been urging her to come out to meet guests, she would even be in a daze for half a month in the room.

Seeing Luo Zhu coming in, Zhang Zhe got up to greet her.Apart from thanking her for helping to rehearse the play, I also respect her as a person.

Lin Funiang is a good gossip in her boudoir, and she has already told Zhang Zhe about Luo Zhu's life experience.

Luozhu's mother was originally a concubine of an official, and was originally a singer.Later, something bad happened in the family, and Luozhu was confiscated into the Fangsi, but at the age of thirteen or fourteen, his bones were frighteningly hard.Teacher Fangsi broke several whips, and everyone was exhausted, but Luozhu refused to submit at that time.

Later, the old bustard of Yunyinge asked her to go, and after healed her, he used some means to redeem Luozhu's younger sister from Nanyang Fangsi, and raised her as a daughter in an ordinary family in the county.

Luozhu met the girl secretly, then kowtowed to the old bustard, and began to learn the rules in the building.

Later, Luozhu's sister died of illness at the age of 14, and Luozhu became more and more lazy to see people. The old bustard of Yunyinge raised Luozhu as his successor, and generally would not force her to do things.Forced her to take the initiative to meet the guests tonight, I don't know if the old bustard has said nothing.

Shi Xiu was overjoyed when he saw someone, and hurriedly invited him to another table, ordered a table of delicacies, no wine, only the secret sweet soup, it turned out that Luozhu never drank alcohol.

The Luozhu man looked deserted and didn't talk much, but Zhang Zhe found out that it was only a few words, and the woman quietly complimented everyone present.

Just seeing the red light on Huo Bingcheng's face, Zhang Zhe couldn't help but want to hold the money pouch at his waist for him.

When Luozhu comes to serve, she must sing a song.

And this song is not cheap, the starting price is half an acre of land - five taels.

Everyone has long been aware of the strangeness, and Luo Chengfeng is paying the bill tonight, so no one is complaining about it.

"It's not easy to collect money from all the lords present here tonight. Let me listen to the song composed by my concubine, do you like it?" Luo Zhu hugged a pipa, and began to play it ding ding dong dong.

Open your mouth and just say: "The bright moon leaves the branches to frighten the magpies, and the breeze sings the cicadas in the middle of the night."

Zhang Zhe looked at Huo Bingcheng in surprise, but the fellow was as shy as a child, staring blankly at Luozhu.
