Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 10 Xiangyu Taking a Bath
Lin Xiangyu said with a smile: "What is this, Mr. Cheng doesn't have to take it to heart. I was originally a Yangzhou skinny horse, and it is a fact that I came from a humble background. There is nothing I can't let people say.

But I was only 14 years old, and I had been locked up in another courtyard, learning art from female masters.This body is clean and innocent, and has never been touched by a man.

It was Wang Dashan who saw that I was about to grow up and was going to be taken into the mansion to play with. I didn't want to submit, so I took the risk of becoming a fugitive slave.So I hope that there will be no false rumors spreading, slandering that my body is not innocent, can Mr. Cheng understand my mood? "

When Cheng Jing heard the words, he repeatedly said yes.Zhu Qiyu asked a few more words, and then Wang Cheng came to report: "The fragrant soup is ready, please take a bath and change clothes, young master and Miss Lin."

Zhu Qiyu waved the two of them back, and dragged Lin Xiangyu into the side hall.

But as soon as he entered the side hall, he found that there was only one bathtub, and the surface of the water was covered with rose petals.Zhu Qiyu understood at a glance that the young eunuchs were trying to relieve the king's worries because they were pretending to be clever.

Seeing Lin Xiangyu's pretty face blushing, her head lowered, she just fiddled with the silk handkerchief in her hand.Zhu Qiyu laughed awkwardly and said, "I'm not strict with my subordinates, I'll make the girl laugh. Girl, hurry up and wash it while it's hot, I'll go to the front and walk around."

When Lin Xiangyu heard this, she grabbed Zhu Qiyu's sleeve in a panic, and begged: "My lord, don't go out, I'm afraid someone from the Wang family will suddenly come in."

Zhu Qiyu smiled helplessly and said: "The people of the Wang family are not gods, how can they come so fast. Okay, don't worry, my son will condescend once and watch the door for you outside, is that good? "

Only then did Lin Xiangyu let go of her hand, but she still asked uneasy: "My lord, please don't fool the servants. While saying that you are guarding the gate, you actually sneaked away and went to other places to be chic."

Zhu Qiyu replied decisively: "That can't be done. If a gentleman makes a promise, a thousand dollars is not easy. Besides, the opportunity is rare, and I have to peek at the girl taking a shower from the window. Only people whose head was kicked by a donkey will go elsewhere." Let's go shopping."

Lin Xiangyu chuckled, and went behind the screen to change clothes.

Zhu Qiyu turned around and went out, sitting at the door, leaning against the wall and looking up at the sky, while listening to the sound of water in the room.

While washing, Lin Xiangyu yelled "Young Master" from time to time, Zhu Qiyu had to agree loudly to feel at ease.

After about half an hour, the two of them finished washing one by one and got dressed neatly.Zhu Qiyu yelled, Cheng Jing, Wang Cheng and others took the food box, walked into the small courtyard, and came to the main room to serve.

Zhu Qiyu ordered: "Put down the lunch, and you all go down. After we finish eating, we have to sleep for a while and have a good rest. Wait for the people from the Wang family to arrive and call us again."

When everyone heard the words, they quickly agreed, arranged the food, and then retreated.

Once out of the courtyard, Wang Cheng pulled Cheng Jing and asked: "Mr. Cheng, you said that Miss Lin is so beautiful, it is obvious that our son is going to accept her.

But we have only been out for a few days, and the young master has an extra concubine, and even snatched a skinny horse from someone else's house. Will the princess turn her anger on us after we go back? "

Cheng Jing heard the words and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? If you still want to live longer, if you still want to be prosperous and rich, I advise you not to mention the word thin horse again in your life.

As for what the young master said about having an extra concubine, I advise you to be more sober.It is absolutely impossible for the son to let Miss Lin be a concubine. "

Wang Cheng asked in a low voice with a puzzled expression: "Our family's princesses and side concubines are all full, what else can I do if I don't want to be a concubine?"

Cheng Jing chuckled: "As the saying goes, it's hard to persuade the damn ghost with good words. I've said it, and it's up to you whether you listen to it or not. If you want boundless wealth, you should behave well in front of Miss Lin early. If you don't want wealth, then Just do whatever you want, anyway, don’t say that I didn’t persuade you to go the right way.”

Several young eunuchs nodded dubiously, surrounded Cheng Jing and went to the front hall for dinner.

There was silence for a while, until it was getting late, a group of one hundred and ten people came to the gate of Wangyue Tower with a gorgeous carriage.

The visitors shouted orders, attracting passersby on the side of the road and customers in the store to gather around to watch the excitement.

Steward Wang, who was causing trouble at the city gate before, helped Wang Dashan out of the carriage, and at the same time ordered a group of servants to surround the inn.

Seeing the owner coming, the manager of the inn hurriedly brought the waiter to kneel down and salute.

Mr. Wang Dashan didn't speak, he just asked someone to bring a chair over and sat on the street in front of the store.

Steward Wang asked, "Where are people?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly nodded and bowed his head and replied: "Go back to the owner's house, go back to the big housekeeper, as soon as those people came, they booked the small courtyard behind and more than 20 upper rooms.

Miss Lin of our family and the leading son are living together in the small courtyard behind. "

Steward Wang snorted coldly, and angrily said: "What are you doing in a daze, waiting to receive the reward, why don't you rush them out."

The shopkeeper walked into the store with a look of embarrassment, worrying about how to deal with the group of guest officials staying in the store.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Qiyu took the initiative to bring Lin Xiangyu out.

The shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Guest officer, our boss is here."

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Understood, you have nothing to do here, step aside."

Cheng Jing sent someone to bring a chair, and asked Zhu Qiyu to sit on the street, and confront Wang Dashan face to face.

Wang Dashan saw that Zhu Qiyu was very handsome and had many servants to accompany him, so he was not an ordinary person.Besides, Cheng Jing next to him has the badge of the Ouchi eunuch, so he didn't dare to attack easily.I had to be the first to ask:
"The girl next to the young master is a skinny horse that I raised outside. Yesterday, I took advantage of the unprepared guards and escaped from the mansion. Now that the young master takes her in, he is taking in a runaway slave. This is a violation of the king's law.

If the young master is willing to return this lowly slave to the outsider, you will not be held accountable for the crime of covering up the fugitive slave, what do you think? "

Zhu Qiyu smiled slightly when he heard the words, and asked back: "You are Wang Dashan? I heard that you are in Baoding Mansion. You are highly respected and have done countless good deeds. You are a great benevolent person respected by the people?
Wang Dashan replied: "It's just me, dare to ask the young master's name and surname?"

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "My surname is Jia. Your little girl likes to call me Jia Dahao, so you can call me that too."

Wang Dashan was so angry that he stood up and shouted angrily: "Are you entertaining me? Well, since you insist on toasting and not eating fine wine, then we will only talk about the king's law. Do you think it is the crime of sheltering escaped slaves?" deny?"

Zhu Qiyu was still calm and composed, and said with a soft smile: "I did take in the escaped slaves, there is no problem."

"Okay, good, dare to act, you can be considered a good man. I bought this fugitive slave from Yangzhou for 1000 taels of silver. I raised it at home, paid for it, worked hard, and spent another three to four thousand taels of silver.

In other words, she is completely my personal property, and it is valuable property.Do you recognize this or not? "

Zhu Qiyu still smiled and said: "Recognize it, it seems that Wang Dashan is really a kind and law-abiding citizen, and when he speaks, he is well-founded and logical. This girl is indeed your personal property, and there is no problem."

Hearing the words, Wang Dashan slowly sat back on the chair, said with a relaxed smile, "Since you pleaded guilty, it's easy. You and this lowly slave will be arrested obediently, and I will take you to the government office to surrender and be punished."

At this time, Lin Xiangyu stood up and said to Wang Dashan with a firm face: "I will go back with you, and you will be killed and cut. Don't make things difficult for your son. I am the one who wants to escape, and it has nothing to do with him."

Wang Dashan sneered and said: "Good man Jia, you are really a good man. It took only half a day to let this lowly slave bite one son at a time and call him so affectionately, it's really a good trick.

It's just that strong dragons don't overwhelm local snakes, and today I want you to come and go.If you have anything else to say, tell me. "

Zhu Qiyu stood up, took a few steps forward, came to Wang Dashan, smiled apologetically, and said, "I'm sorry, Dashan, what happened to you happened.

For the sake of your reasonableness, I will give you a day to go home and arrange your affairs. "
