Chapter 67
Cheng Sanwu sat there in a daze, and Yang Chongyi ordered someone to invite the guests in.

After a while, a few women came to the courtyard, and saw them wearing white clothes and crimson hakamas, high-topped and wide-brimmed veiled hats, a circle of thin white gauze hanging down, and wooden clogs. Walking, there is a crisp knock on the slate bricks, as if she is a priestess walking out of a quiet shrine, without the gorgeous temperament of a brothel.

Although Afu's face was blurred behind the white veil of the veiled hat, Du Jianzhang's eyes were straightened and he was fascinated by this outfit alone, and all the words of comfort he had prepared were thrown away.

"What the hell are you doing?" Cheng Sanwu stood up, he could clearly see that it was Afu, Qin Wangshu, and Jiang Zhen who came. They were late, probably to dress up like this, so that Head start.

At the side, Lu Yingxuan murmured deeply: "White gauze clothes and scarlet pleats, are these Southern Dynasty Jiyue costumes?"

"More than that, this is the clothes of wizards and wizards enshrining common gods since the Wei and Jin Dynasties." Changqing also lowered his voice.

Lu Yingxuan was amazed by the other party's knowledge, and asked: "Could it be the prayer of the emperor, the common god, and the dancers who drum and dance?"

"Exactly!" Changqing nodded and said: "This lineage is mostly passed down from mother to daughter. At that time, there were many women in the Wuyue area of ​​the south of the Yangtze River who were master witches. "

Lu Yingxuan frowned slightly: "These witches must be involved in witches and Gu when they go to and from the prince's gate. Later, they evolved into costumes for music and music, which shows that they have a bad style."

Changqing's face was slightly gloomy, and it was inconvenient to answer.Silk Lord and Common God Prayer is not a sect with a clear genealogical inheritance, but a general term for a group of people who worship common gods, and most of them were later classified into Taoism.

Back then, most of these witches claimed to offer wine at the Taoist altar, and it was considered light to worship common gods. It is rumored that some people practiced sorcery in the house, served the noble families with their beauty, and behaved almost like prostitutes.

Even if Changqing was born in a Taoist sect, he still couldn't accept such filth.Fortunately, the Taoist sects of the Southern Dynasties experienced several changes and turmoil, and Lu Tianshi rectified the scriptures and teachings, so that the dregs were eliminated.

It's just that I didn't expect to see the priestess costumes of the old gods praying here again.Considering that Tianxiang Pavilion was originally a Nanqu brothel, it seems to be reasonable again.

Yang Chongyi vaguely heard the conversation between the two of them. Considering that the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent someone to ask for the Tianxiang Pavilion, he thought to himself and planned to wait and see what happened.

"Miss Afu! Is it really you?"

Du Jianzhang saw that the beautiful woman whom he had admired for many days had changed into a white dress and scarlet hakama. Although it did not show the mountains and dews, it was not as charming and beautiful, but it had a special charm.The elegant and delicate fragrance from the other party made Du Jianzhang feel as if he was in an ethereal and lonely mountain shrine.

Such a wonderful person, how could she be allowed to live in the deserted mountains?Du Jianzhang could almost hear Miss Afu weeping and weeping when she was facing the green lamp alone, and wished she could hold her in his arms immediately, so as to comfort her.

"Hey Hey hey!"

At this time, a rough voice shattered Du Jianzhang's blurred fantasy. He looked back angrily, just in time to see Cheng Sanwu stepping on the luxurious table, pointing at Afu and saying: "You three What are you pretending to do? One time is not enough, so a second time is needed, right?"

Except for Changqing, the rest of the people present were unaware.Standing behind Jiangzhen, Afu, who was like a humble concubine, took half a step forward and called out softly to Du Jianzhang:

"Young Master Du, please save this concubine!"

Afu's voice was soft and delicate, hearing Du Jianzhang's heart fluttered, and boundless courage surged in his chest. He stepped forward and was about to speak, when Jiang Zhen raised his hand to stop him, and shouted:

"Where did you come from such a disrespectful person? This is a person from our Tianxiang Pavilion, who will be trained as an oiran in the future to serve the nobles. You have to watch carelessly again, and be careful of your eyeballs!"

Jiang Zhen didn't know what method she used, her voice became high-pitched and sharp, like a madam in a brothel, which made people feel very mean.

"You—" Du Jianzhang raised his finger and yelled, and then refuted loudly: "My father is the imperial censor Zhongcheng, and I came from Jingzhao Du family. How can I be rude? I came here today to save Miss Afu. Sea of ​​bitterness! You let her go free quickly, and I don't need to pursue Tianxiang Pavilion!"

"Humph!" Jiang Zhen put her hands on her hips, acting savagely: "Censor Zhongcheng? I thought he was a high-ranking official. You don't even ask, we have the Ministry of Internal Affairs to support us in Tianxiang Pavilion. If you are not convinced, let your family Du Xiantai wrote a letter to participate in the impeachment, to see who can win the fight?"

Du Jianzhang was dumbfounded when he heard the words.In this dynasty, there were no permanent censors, and Yushi Zhongcheng was regarded as the highest official of Yushitai.However, due to the emperor's re-use of the internal court in recent years, the Ministry of Internal Affairs gradually encroached on the power of supervision. Even if Du Xiantai was born in the Jingzhao Du family, he was powerless to change this situation.

At this moment, Cheng Sanwu seemed to have come to his senses, laughing and clamoring: "That's right! Mr. Du, let your father write the letter quickly, I support you!"

Du Jianzhang was so angry that his shoulders trembled, he gritted his teeth and said, "Cheng Sanwu sells his lover privately, even if he sues the emperor, he doesn't take it seriously! Could it be that the Ministry of Internal Affairs can ignore the law by relying on His Majesty's favor?"

"I said, if you are not convinced, just go and sue!" Jiang Zhen turned to look at Cheng Sanwu: "Master Cheng, I came today to ask you for the five hundred guan."

"Ah?!" This time, it was Cheng Sanwu's turn to froze, and he hurriedly turned his head to look at Changqing. The other party looked like he was enjoying the show, but he just smiled lightly with his hands behind his back, without making a sound.

"What, what five hundred guan coins?" Cheng Sanwu asked.

Jiang Zhen took out a contract letter from her sleeve and shook it back and forth: "Before you kept saying that this girl is perfect, and if there is a fake, you will pay double the compensation. We only found out after checking that this girl has long been taken by you. Broken body!"

"Ah?!" It was not only Cheng Sanwu who shouted, but also Du Jianzhang.Hearing this, he felt as if a piece of flesh had been gouged out of his heart, and the pain was so painful that he almost fainted.

"Stop, stop!" Cheng Sanwu waved his hands again and again. He knew that Afu deliberately made this fight to play tricks on Du Jianzhang, but he didn't expect that she would play tricks on herself. Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately said:

"Stop messing around, what's the point of playing like this?"

"What joke are you talking about, who played with you?" Jiang Zhen suppressed a smile and put on a show.She is very happy at the moment, no wonder Sister Fu said that playing with men is a great pleasure.

"Hurry up and lose money." Jiang Zhen sternly reprimanded: "If you can't get the money, I will immediately sue you for a smuggled lover, with a hundred spine sticks, and distributed to Lingnan!"

Cheng Sanwu was still in a daze, but Du Jianzhang was the first to react and said: "I have five hundred guan coins!"

Jiang Zhen glanced at him: "What's the matter with you?"

"Although Miss Afu is not perfect, she is like a fairy in the sky in my heart." Du Jianzhang said urgently: "If you don't want to take her in, I can pay you to redeem her, and Tianxiang Pavilion will definitely not suffer."

Seeing Du Jianzhang's excited and enthusiastic face, Jiang Zhen slightly lowered his head and covered his mouth to suppress his smile, as if thinking.And Cheng Sanwu came to Du Jianzhang's side, patted him on the shoulder, raised his thumb and praised:
"Brother, you are really not afraid of death."

"Who is your brother? Get out of the way!" Du Jianzhang flung the opponent away. Although he knew the opponent's martial arts were strong, he had no fear in front of the beauty at the moment, and said righteously: "If I can save people from the sea of ​​suffering, I will There will be no complaints even if you are smashed to pieces!"

Cheng Sanwu nodded repeatedly, and when he was about to speak, another servant came to report to Yang Chongyi: "Master, there is a person outside the door claiming to be the head of the Baochang Society, and he said that he represented the Wang family to discuss the Weinan Doubao."

"Oh?" Yang Chongyi's expression changed: "Please hurry up."

Hearing that Su Wangting came, Cheng Sanwu and Afu were both slightly surprised. They seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Changqing together.

I saw Changqing twirling a few yellow ginkgo leaves in his hands at some point, flicking his fingers lightly, the leaves flew away with the wind, listening to him recite the rhyme of the poem: "How to send a book without a geese, the autumn wind blows the yellow and sends it to me."

Lu Yingxuan next to him had seen Changqing pick up leaves and cast spells a long time ago, and he presumably used this to convey the news that the head of the Baochang Society should be the rescuer he invited.

Du Jianzhang didn't notice it, so he called an attendant and ordered him to go to his private house to get money.Qi Xianwei hurriedly pulled him aside, dissuading him: "Young Master Du, the situation is not right, you'd better not rush to redeem him."

"How can I not be in a hurry?" Du Jianzhang refused to listen to the persuasion: "Miss Afu is right in front of me, so what if the other party changes his mind? Can you Wannian County help me snatch her out?"

Qi Xianwei had already noticed something strange from the conversation between the few people just now: "Then Cheng Sanwu may have colluded with Tianxiang Pavilion for a long time, planning to steal money, my son, don't be fooled!"

"What a joke! Tianxiang Pavilion is backed by the Minister of Internal Affairs, what is a mere five hundred guan in silver? Is it worth their design to cheat?" Du Jianzhang had already lost his mind, and Qi Xianwei couldn't explain it.

In a blink of an eye, Su Wangting came to the courtyard. He glanced at the crowd expressionlessly, exchanged glances with Chang Qing, nodded each other, and then bowed his hands to Yang Chongyi to say hello with all the courtesy.

Not long after Su Wangting left Lu Xiang's mansion, when he returned to Kungang Courtyard, he didn't see Cheng Sanwu and Changqing, and knew that they were going to Dongshi.But before Su Wangting rested for a while, suddenly a gust of wind blew into the house, rolling a few yellow leaves, followed by Changqing's voice, briefly talking about the Ginkgo Garden, asking him to come to help as soon as possible.

Fortunately, Chongrenfang and Xuanyangfang were not far away, so Su Wangting came in a hurry, just in the name of presiding over the organization of the Doubaohui, to pay a visit.

After introducing each other and exchanging greetings, Su Wangting took the initiative to say: "Yang Weng laughed at me. These two are also my best friends. I never thought that they would go to the Ginkgo Garden first."

"Where is the word? It's because I don't know much about you. I didn't expect that the well-known head of Baochang Society of Quzhi City, Su, has already arrived in Chang'an." Yang Chongyi smiled on his face, but was secretly surprised in his heart. He didn't expect Wang Yuanbao to recruit these people recently. Powerful person.

"Old Su, why did you come here?" Cheng Sanwu kept complaining, "I was counting on you to save my life!"

"Old Cheng, you are causing me trouble!" Su Wangting feigned anger and scolded, like an elder brother teaching a younger brother, poking his forehead with his fingers, causing Cheng Sanwu's head to shake.

"Okay, okay!" Cheng Sanwu pointed at the three people in Tianxiang Pavilion: "These women have blackmailed me, and they insisted that I broke the body of a hag, and they will pay five hundred silver coins."

With Su Wangting's knowledge, he knew that this was another Afu's scheme. He chuckled secretly, and then he cupped his hands and said, "Girls, it has always been a rule in the business world that both money and goods will not be refunded. Even if it is buying and selling people, Whether the body is perfect or not should be verified on the spot. If the woman we sold was originally a perfect body, but you broke it afterwards, then even if we have thousands of mouths, we can't justify it. We will not pay the money, even if we sue the government , is also true."

In terms of business skills, I'm afraid Afu and the three of them together really can't match Su Wangting alone, not to mention that after Afu and the others heard the news, they just made some preparations and rushed to Gingko Garden. , so as to grasp Cheng Sanwu.

Unexpectedly, Changqing used a clever trick to recruit Su Wangting, an off-court helper, and the three of Afu didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

Jiang Zhen stood on the spot pondering, Qin Wangshu sighed helplessly, and Afu covered her face with her sleeve while wiping her tears, secretly calculating.

"Actually, it's not that we can't afford the five hundred silver coins." Su Wangting continued with a smile, "But this should not be a loss, but redemption. If Tianxiang Pavilion is willing, I will immediately invite the Wannian county magistrate as a notary. Re-sign the contract on the spot, let Miss Afu become my concubine of Brother Cheng, so everyone will be happy, wouldn't it be great?"

Hearing these words, the delicate bodies of the three people on the opposite side trembled, Jiang Zhen and Qin Wangshu's faces were full of disbelief, even Cheng Sanwu and Changqing opened their mouths in shock.And Afu gritted her silver teeth secretly, cursing in her heart: "Well, you Su Wangting, you really deserve to be a disciple of Lu Yan, my old lady almost fell into your hands!"

It is true that Afu can be bound by this paper contract, this is just a joke.But just thinking of Cheng's proud appearance waving a contract letter three or five days later, Afu felt ashamed.

"No! You can't redeem Miss Afu!"

It was Du Jianzhang who broke the situation aloud. He was distraught and infatuated, and he only wanted to save Afu from the sea of ​​suffering.He couldn't imagine what kind of torture a delicate girl like Miss Afu would suffer if she fell into Cheng Sanwu's clutches.

"It's just five hundred guan coins, and I can get it after a while!" Du Jianzhang blushed, looked at Afu, and said sincerely: "Miss Afu, don't be afraid, with me here, I will definitely not let you be raped." harmed by people."

Cheng Sanwu elbowed Su Wangting, and whispered secretly: "Look, old Su, such infatuated seeds are rare, right? You said that these dandies play with women a lot on weekdays, why are they easily seduced by a hag? live?"

"How can ordinary people withstand her temptation?" Su Wangting asked in a low voice: "To be honest, when you went to Tianxiang Pavilion that night, did you have any relationship with the dominatrix..."

Cheng Sanwu's facial features were crowded together, and he said with a sad face, "I drank too much, how can I remember?"

Su Wangting almost laughed, shook his head again and again, and then bowed his hands to Du Jianzhang: "Young Master Du knows that Mu Shaoai has a pure and ancient style, and I admire him very much. This time, we are the ones who are rude and dare not take someone's love away. Miss Afu should be a good spouse, and Mr. Du is none other than Mr. Du."

Hearing these words, Du Jianzhang didn't turn his thoughts around.But Changqing and Lu Yingxuan, two well-read people, could not stop smiling when they heard Su Wangting citing history books and anecdotes to ridicule Du Jianzhang's stupidity.

Afu couldn't bear it anymore, and lightly tugged on Jiang Zhen's sleeve, and the Tianxiang Pavilion oiran immediately scolded: "Presumptuous! Can you treat our Tianxiang Pavilion as the mouth of the West Market? Don't say it again today!"

After saying this, the three of Afu turned around and left. Du Jianzhang called repeatedly and hurriedly chased them out, leaving everyone in the garden looking at each other.
