Biography of the traitorous officials who dominated the Song Dynasty

Chapter 16 Close the door

Among the twelve hours every day, excluding Yin hour, noon hour, and You hour, these are the necessary times for eating and resting.

For the rest of the time, this woman wanted to stay by Earl Ying's side.

So what she told Po Wang was not just nonsense.

Wang Po was rejected by Pan Jinlian and returned to the tea house with a suspicious look on her face.

As soon as he walked upstairs, Ximen Qing immediately put down his tea cup and asked anxiously: "What about the young lady? Has the godmother taken her downstairs?"

Wang Po's mouth was dry and she looked at Ximen Qing in embarrassment and said hesitantly: "No... I'm not invited."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Wang immediately knelt down on the ground with a "pop" sound, and took out the remaining silver from the flower with trembling hands.

He said with sincerity and fear: "I'm sorry, Sir! I didn't handle things well this time. I hope you will forgive me."

Wang Po thought that Ximen Qing would be furious, but strangely, Ximen Qing just paced back and forth in the room with a frown on his face.

After a while, Ximen Qing squinted at her and asked, "Is it possible that this young lady already has a crush?"

The old woman was stunned for a moment, then said in a daze: "No... no way!"

Then he told Ximen Qing everything he had seen and heard about this woman.

It is said that this woman stayed at home all day long, as if she was hiding in the city.

In addition to facing Wu Da and Ying'er day and night, there is also Wu Song and Wu Dutou. There is definitely no fourth person.

While Po Wang was telling the story, Ximen Qing listened attentively.

On the surface, this grandma runs a teahouse to make ends meet, but her teahouse actually has a hidden secret.

She is best at connecting people, let’s look at the second and third floors.

This is specially used as a place for those men and women in Qinghe County who have broken shoes to have sex.

Not to mention the first floor, there are four cabins on the second and third floors.

The inside is clean and tidy, with tables, chairs, benches, and a large bed with silk quilts.

Some women's mouths are so sweet that they would affectionately call her "Wang Ganniang" when they saw her.

I willingly gave Mrs. Wang some leverage in that matter.

How much silver can you earn from selling tea?Just making friends.

Ximen Qing saw that Wang Po was rejected by Pan Jinlian, and he doubted her methods from the bottom of his heart.

"Wang Ganniang, are there really no other options?"

Ximen Qing didn't want to let this matter go to waste. However, he saw Wang Po kowtowing on the ground: "I'm sorry, high official!"

Either way!

Mother, let's do this for now, I will worry about it later.

On the other hand, after Earl Ying left Zishi Street along the path, he returned directly to Ximen Qing's house.

I slept until the sun was shining brightly, and when I woke up, it was just around noon time for dinner.

Because last night he had delivered all his reserves to the woman Pan Jinlian.

So at this time, I was so hungry and exhausted that I wanted to eat everything I saw.

From the first courtyard, he almost rolled and crawled all the way to the dining room in the third courtyard.

He didn't even care that there were only a few ladies from Ximen Qing sitting at the table. They sat there and ate nonsense.

The third concubine, Sun Xue'e, frowned and looked at the eldest lady, Wu Yueniang, and said. "Sister, this Yinghuazi is really getting better and better as he gets older. Look at whether he sits or eats with each other. He doesn't even care about the slightest etiquette. It's really not cool!"

"I'll wait until the master comes back, and I'll make a proper complaint to him!"

The second concubine, Li Jiaoer, also said: "You are a shameless thief. I am upset when I see your virtue. Get out of here! Have you forgotten who you are?"

It is said that Earl Ying has long been accustomed to the sarcasm and ridicule of the ladies in Ximen Qing's family.

Li Jiaoer is right, what is his identity?

Just help out, eat and drink.

While he was swallowing the porridge, he smiled and said, "Aunts, please give me a way out, and I'll be fine soon."

Just as Sun Xue'e and Li Jiaoer were about to stand up and attack him, the eldest lady Wu Yueniang slapped the table and said, "Okay! Look what you have become, Guanghou is still my sworn brother no matter what!"

As Wu Yueniang spoke, she pushed two plates of mutton in front of Earl Ying and said, "Eat it, Marquis Guang! Ignore these useless ladies."

Wu Yueniang is 30 years old and has a classy appearance.

The face is like a silver basin, and the eyes are like water apricots.

Her skin is white and tender, and her hair is thick and dark.

She is also very good at dressing up. Today she is wearing a bright red silk pair with a soft yellow skirt, which makes her whole body look pink and beautiful.

On weekdays, she behaves gently, is steady and talks little.

In terms of appearance, the two of them are not as good as Pan Jinlian.

But she is completely different from Pan Jinlian. She grew up with a golden key in her mouth.

She is the daughter of Wu Qianhu in Qinghe County. She has two brothers, Wu Kai and Wu Lin, who are very prosperous in the government.

But what happened to Ximen Qing?
Li Gongji, the magistrate of the county government, bowed to Yueniang every time he saw her, and did not dare to show any slightness.

Her family is very well-established. Ten Sun Xue'e's and twenty Li Jiao'er's combined cannot match half of her family background.

Sun Xue'e was originally the dowry girl of Ximen Qing's deceased first wife, Mrs. Chen. Although she had some family background, it was not enough.

Li Jiaoer was also a prostitute. She was originally a kiln girl who sang in Lichun Courtyard in Qinghe County. Her appearance and beauty were not even as good as that of Sister Li Gui, who had the same background as her.

At this moment, Wu Yueniang wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Recently, I heard from my father and brother that the Lord is currently building a large amount of construction work on Gen Yue."

"Officials from all over the country plundered the people's fat and anointed people to send flowers and stones to the saints, which caused widespread resentment among the people. It is really wrong. If this continues, there will be big problems in the Song Dynasty."

"It is said that soon they will join forces with the Jin Kingdom to attack the Liao Kingdom."

"In the past, during the Renzong Dynasty, the army and the people were dedicated to the Qingming Dynasty, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. There was no war with the Liao Kingdom for more than a hundred years."

"On the border between the Song and Liao countries, there were many crops, cattle and sheep were left wild, and people wearing white clothes did not know how to fight. Although the Liao Kingdom has been a barbarian country since ancient times, it has been sanctified for a long time."

"What is the Kingdom of Jin? It is inhumane to drink blood like a hair! According to my father and brother, the Song Dynasty should join forces with the Liao Kingdom to destroy the Kingdom of Jin."

Earl Ying, who was devouring his food, became energetic when he heard Wu Yueniang talking about this.

He immediately said: "Actually, the Three Kingdoms of Song, Liao, and Jin are a bit like Wei, Shu, and Wu during the Three Kingdoms period."

"Zhuge Kongming has always advocated east and north rejection, that is, forming a good relationship with Sun Quan and joining forces with the north to reject Cao Cao."

"The Song Dynasty is indeed not weak, but our Central Plains dynasty has never been able to defeat the horseback people because the cost of war is too high and cannot compare with others."

"They are all cavalry, unlike us who are all infantry. They don't have to spend money to fight, and they can still make money. Anyway, just rob!"
