Splendid Abandoned Wife

Chapter 348
When Zhiruo was about to say something else, Feng Ling smiled and waved her hand: "Wait, come with me first, Luoying, just wait for us here."

Luoying nodded in agreement: "Yes." If she guessed correctly, there should be a darkroom in this room.She observed it carefully when she came over just now.This purple bamboo house is not shared with other guests, but is in a corner of the southwest of the front yard. Only three feet further west is the west corner door of Bainiao Pavilion, and the one closest to it in Bainiao Pavilion is the The west hall where the poetry gathering is held is also three feet away.

Luoying thought that when Bainiao Pavilion was still the Xunhuan Building, this location should be the legendary expensive special private room prepared for the mysterious guest.Some nobles and people from scholarly families don't want others to know that they are playing prostitutes, so they will spend a lot of money to book this kind of private room and sneak in and out through the corner door after dark.

Sure enough, as Luoying guessed, Feng Ling walked to the table, turned over the calligraphy and painting, pressed one of the bricks with her fist, and saw that the brick popped out about an inch, and carefully removed it. There was a knob inside, and she reached in. With a twist, the wall next to the table actually swung inward and opened a brick door about five feet high and two feet wide.At first glance, the space is not large, just like a closet, but there is light coming from below, which shows that it is the entrance to an underground secret room.

Zhiruo's eyes were filled with surprise. There was no gap at all in this wall. It was really amazing!
Feng Ling restored the brick under the calligraphy and painting, then took Zhiruo into the basement and closed the door from the inside.

There are three oversized rooms in the basement, which are like a large study room, a large vault for storing gold, silver, jewelry and other valuables, and a storage room for weapons and food. This is the core of the Jiangzhou branch of Da Yuanfang.Down from the secret passage in the big bedroom of Zizhu Fang is the large study room, and there is also a secret passage leading up from the storage room.

Zhiruo's eyes lit up: "Sister, if you go up from here, it should be where you live, right?"

Feng Ling nodded and said with a smile: "Exactly, the study room above is where I handle my affairs." The second uncle is right, the eldest girl is really very smart.

"Okay, let's go out first. We'll come here to discuss it in detail tonight at noon." Feng Ling said, "The performance at Bainiao Pavilion will only last until the beginning of xu. Except for the guests staying in the hotel, everyone else will be cleared and asked to leave. ." At this moment, she was showing Qi Mubai the guest room. Staying for too long could easily arouse suspicion.

Zhiruo nodded: "Well, I'm going to go out for a walk in the afternoon to see what spiritual energy Haishi has brought to Guanghai?" Guanghai is not very prominent in Jiangzhou, and it is far inferior to Qingtian County.But when she walked all the way from the city gate, she felt that Guanghai was quite lively, and there were indeed many people who were obviously from other places.

Feng Ling curled her lips: "What aura, I feel like there is a demonic aura. Rather than saying that it is the sea market that attracts so many people, it is better to say that someone is acting as a demon, deliberately attracting literati, magicians, and righteous people."

"You mean," Zhiruo Yishen said, "that there is a problem in Minzhi County?"

Feng Ling shook his head: "I did think so before, but that person in Minzhi County... how should I put it? Some are corrupt, some are arrogant, some are ambitious, and some are... timid... cowardly." Such a person, Perhaps relying on the wealth of the wife clan and eager to use money to achieve political success, he has been promoted, but half a year has passed. Although people come and go, the number of people coming to Guanghai has not decreased at all.She intuitively knew that the matter was not simple. The lottery in Haishi and Minzhi County was just a gimmick and a cover.

Zhi Ruo deeply agrees that this is an important reason why the Jiangzhou branch of Da Yuan Fang is stationed in Guanghai.

"By the way, we were tricked by someone on the way to Guanghai," Zhiruo said with a smile. "They said she was the niece of the wife of the magistrate of Fujian. They also said she wanted her aunt and uncle to come and thank me."

Feng Ling frowned when she heard someone was following Zhiruo: "Niece? I've heard about this. Mrs. Min's sister and brother-in-law both passed away after encountering gangsters two years ago, leaving a daughter who didn't seem to be living a very happy life. Okay. The girl is 17 years old this year and will be able to get rid of her filial piety at the end of the year. Mrs. Min brought her to Guanghai this time, firstly because she felt pity for her niece, and secondly because she wanted to arrange a marriage for her. "

Still in the filial piety period?Zhiruo evoked a hint of ridicule. Wang Haitang was wearing bright pink that day, but today she seems to be wearing pink.

"I guess that Wang Haitang is interested in trying to catch up with Qi Mubai." Feng Ling looked at Zhiruo, who was dressed in men's clothing and had a cool and elegant look in front of her, and couldn't help but tease.Nowadays, the further south you go, the more popular the word "Qi Mubai" is among girls.

Zhiruo doesn't see it this way: "There is exploration, estimation, and calculation in her eyes, but there is no admiration. This is my intuition when I meet her face to face." Women believe in intuition, and the intuition of secret agents is more sensitive. , so Feng Ling definitely does not reject the word "intuition". In addition, after hearing Liang Dahai talk about a lot of things Zhiruo has done this year, she pays more attention to her intuition.Therefore, even before meeting Wang Haitang, Feng Ling was already concerned and wary of her.Years of spy experience told her that there is no one or thing that does not require suspicion, there are only spies who are not good at discovering doubts.

Feng Ling's face also became solemn: "Don't worry, girl, I will be cautious. My relationship with Mrs. Min is actually very good. Mr. Min often comes to Bai Niao Pavilion to listen to music and watch singing and dancing. A few days ago, Mrs. Min also said When her niece comes, she wants to bring her to watch the show. Even though our Bird Pavilion has just opened, everyone now knows that those literati and righteous people like to come here to relax or party. What do they say, elegant people hear the birds singing? Ordinary people see flowers shaking, hehe."

There used to be two competing prostitution houses in Guanghai County, Xunhuan House and Wanhua House. Later, Xunhuan House was closed down. Originally, Wanhua House was very proud of itself and dominated the limelight.Unexpectedly, I met a magistrate who was disgusted with brothels. In addition, real scholars and fake refined scholars from other places were attracted by the novel business model of Bai Niao Pavilion. They felt that Bai Niao Pavilion was nobler and more elegant than a brothel, and more lively and sentimental than a teahouse. In the end, Suitable for a classy gentleman like them.Isn’t this?In less than two months, the tune "Refined people hear birds singing, common people see flowers waving" has been spread all over the streets.

Moreover, unlike Wanhua Tower, Bainiao Pavilion has a much larger customer base and caters to both men and women.Women can also go to the Bird Pavilion to watch performances.Bainiao Pavilion has private seats with curtains that can be lowered, and you can also choose private rooms. If there are many people, you can even book a small special event. These were all suggestions in Zhiruo's earliest planning book for Da Yuan Fang.

When Zhiruo and the two walked out of the tunnel, Luoshuang had already come back and was talking to Luoying. When she saw the door to the secret passage opened, she ran over curiously and stretched her neck to look: "Master, how big is it down there?" The sisters Luoying and Luoshuang are twins, but They have completely different temperaments, Luoying is calm and Luoshuang is lively.

Zhiruo gave her a funny nod: "Why don't you go down and have a look tonight and you'll find out?" Luoshuang's temperament is somewhat similar to that of Dong. Of course, after all, he was trained as a secret spy, and Ruudong is much more shrewd and sinister. , and more ruthless, but in front of Zhiruo, she is just as frank and cute as Rudong. Zhiruo, who was reborn in the third life, treats them as little sisters in her heart.

"Okay, okay," Luoshuang nodded. In fact, she learned to hide her true temperament when she was less than ten years old. Later, something happened to her master's family and she was sold as an official slave and then trained to become a secret spy. She became even more silent until she arrived. Around the master, he slowly let go of his true nature.It was only when she came to her master that she felt that her life had more meaning.

The food cooked in the Bainiao Pavilion kitchen is indeed very good. It is the most satisfying and satisfying meal Zhiruo has eaten in more than a month since I went out.She thought that maybe it had something to do with her mood. She felt at ease when she went to her own territory.

After lunch, Zhiruo and the three of them went out to the streets. This time they did not take a carriage but a horse.Wearing a black brocade robe embroidered with tall green bamboo and trimmed with green piping, it complements the jasper hair crown on her bun. Coupled with the top-quality jade medal on her waist, a green embroidered gold turtle purse, and the iconic golden fire-shaped mask on her face, she is perfect. It perfectly highlights the image of a gorgeous noble man, and also makes Qi Mubai, who is slightly petite as a boy, more slender.

Luoshuang clicked her tongue and said, "Master, you are coming to Guanghai with such a high profile, don't you want those who want to gather Naqi people's righteous people to also target you?"

Zhiruobai glanced at her and sneered: "Since there are people who have been sticking to it all the way, do you still need to be high-profile to stand out? Qi Mubai is a high-profile person, do you know?"

As soon as the three masters and servants left the Bainiao Pavilion, they went straight to the seaside and performed a full set of plays. He, Qi Mubai, came here because of the excitement brought by the sea market and the Bainiao Pavilion.It has always been like this since Qi Mubai was born. He loves to join in the fun, is high-profile, and is arrogant and uninhibited. This is another distinctive feature of Qi Mubai besides being fast, ruthless and accurate in doing business.

Sure enough, a lot of people gathered at the beach. Some were serious about writing poems and paintings. Some were foaming at the mouth with intent on their faces and talking about the brilliant results that would be brought by going to sea to build islands. Some were talking with gusto about how to govern the county and the country. Some seemed to have a little idea. I felt deceived, but I still talked about poetry and Taoism with three or two people I liked, and even talked about the reason for the existence of Bainiao Pavilion...

As Fengling said, the county government actually sent someone to build a shed there, set up tables and chairs, and prepared paper and ink. All those who felt that they were talented, righteous, and capable people could read the book "Hai Shi Wen Ren" Fill in your name, address, leave your own works or describe your abilities on the "Registration".What surprised Zhiruo was that most people had registered to stay in Mo. They said that the ancients were restrained and reserved. It seemed that Da Ying people were still willing to recommend themselves and look for opportunities for advancement.

Fengling said that this kind of practice has been done in other places. It has no special purpose and is just used as a record of a grand event. Specifically, such a list is put together with the records of major events as evidence to witness the spectacle of the "Sea City". .

However, Zhiruo just feels that the purpose of this roster is not simple, and it has the meaning of "audition".
