Chapter 95: The Dinner at the Bo Mansion, the Thoughts of the Three Ladies (Subscription Request)
"Si Xu, I heard that Zhang Haohao is the best prostitute in the capital, with a beautiful voice and graceful dancing. Can you bring her up to see me?"
In the Beijing city's Jiaofangsi, Zhou Yi was sitting in a room, with a middle-aged woman sitting below him, who was the nanny in charge of the Jiaofangsi.
"General Zhou, it is an honor for us to invite you to the banquet held in your house, but..."
Nanny Lin had a conflicted look on her face. The general in front of her had been very popular recently and she couldn't afford to offend him.
But this one is good, but it’s not here now!
Damn Chi Yanei!
"What do you mean, Zhang Haohao is not here?"
Zhou Yi narrowed his eyes and dropped the wine glass in his hand: "I hope Nanny Lin can explain it clearly."
Forget it, forget it. I can't afford to offend him anyway, so I might as well let Chi Yanei have the headache.
"That's right, sir. Zhang Haohao has a very good relationship with the young master of the Chi family, the largest business in the capital. That's why Zhang Haohao is in Chi Yanei's room right now."
Chi Yanei?
He is another playboy. Relying on his family's wealth and his acquaintance with a few officials of medium or medium status, he is considered a bully in the city of Bianjing.
But compared to your Grandpa Zhou, who are you?!
"Madame Lin, I have a word from you. I want to see Zhang Haohao now. It's up to you to decide."
"Within one stick of incense, I won't see anyone. You should know the consequences."
"I know, I know..."
Nanny Lin left hurriedly and called a few servants and maids.
"Hurry up and find Zhang Haohao. If she doesn't come back today, tell her that the entire Jiaofang Bureau will be finished. Not only her, but also the entire Chi family will be completely destroyed!"
"Yes!"
Inside the house, Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Tsk, it turns out that being a dude and using your power to overpower others feels so good!"
Frankly speaking, Zhou Yi is not very interested in Zhang Haohao. No matter how pretty she is, can she be as pretty as his three fairy sisters?
At the very least, Song Yinzhang is also a beauty and a virgin. Zhang Haohao has been hanging out with Chi Yanei for several years, so she is probably no longer a virgin.
Now I want to meet him, but it's just because he has such a great reputation, I just want to take a look.
If something really happens, Zhou Yi will definitely not refuse!
But he never threatens anyone.
In less than half an incense stick of time, Zhang Haohao hurried back to the Jiaofangsi and met Nanny Lin.
"What's going on, Aunt Lin?"
"Oh, my girl, we can't afford to offend anyone who comes this time!"
"The newly promoted noble and loyal Earl Zhou Yi, Master Zhou Bo, you know his reputation. Confiscating property and exterminating the clan is nothing special. He is even more vicious than those people in the Imperial City Division!"
"Now the emperor is in great favor. If you or I offend him, we will be finished!"
Zhang Haohao's face darkened, and there was a bit of bitterness on her pretty face: "I know, Madam, which room Master Zhou is in, I'll go there right away."
But they were distressed in their hearts. People like them had always been playthings in the hands of the nobles. When would they be able to make their own decisions...
"Come, follow me."
The two adjusted their mentality and appearance and came to Zhou Yi's house.
"Uncle Zhou, look, this is Zhang Haohao."
"My name is Zhang Haohao, I am here to meet you, Lord Bo."
Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, keep your head up."
Zhang Haohao raised her head. She had a pretty face, handsome eyebrows and lively eyes. She was indeed a beauty.
There is a hint of worldly air between her eyebrows, which adds a touch of charm to her face.
"Yes, she lives up to the reputation of being an oiran."
"You are too kind, sir."
"Stand up. This time, I have been pardoned by the government and given the title of Earl of Loyalty and Bravery. Your mansion needs to hold a dinner party."
"I heard that Zhang Haohao is the best singer in the capital, so I went to look for her."
"It's well-deserved. Let Zhang Haohao lead a group of singing girls and prostitutes to tonight's dinner."
"But don't worry, we'll just go there to sing and dance, nothing else will happen."
"Also, it is best to dress beautifully but not in a manner that is unbelievable."
"Madame Lin and Madam Zhang should know what I am talking about, right?"
Nanny Lin nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, I understand. We will definitely make the dinner at the Lord's house tonight a beautiful one."
"Well, so..."
boom!
Suddenly the door was kicked open, followed by a frivolous shout.
"I want to see who is so famous that he dares to let Haohao come to receive him personally!"
Zhou Yi frowned and looked at the three people who broke in. The leader was dressed gorgeously, had a cynical look on his face, and his behavior was very frivolous.
Chi Yanei, is indeed a dandy young man!
Zhou Yi said that he was still too upright a gentleman.
Zhang Haohao's heart tightened, and she quickly pulled Chi Yanei, knelt down and said, "Forgive me, my lord. This is my friend. I was a little rude, I hope you can forgive me!"
"All right, get up. What's the use of being a master or not? I'm here today, and I don't want to see who dares to take you away!"
"Ha, what a big tone!"
Zhou Yi stood up, walked to Chi Yanei with a smile, lowered his head and said, "How dare a shorty like you talk to me like that?"
"Chi Yanei?"
"Well, could it be Master Chi, the head of the twelve guilds in the capital?"
"Yes, you are scared!"
Snapped!
Zhou Yi would not tolerate this silly boy and slapped him directly on the face.
His brows suddenly turned cold: "A playboy who has some business savvy dares to talk to me like this?"
"Why don't you ask who the most arrogant person in the capital is?"
"You, you dare to hit me?!"
"Who are you!"
"Benbo, Zhou Yi!"
Wow!
When these words were spoken, Chi Pan was stunned. The two followers were about to fight back, but they also stood there, not daring to move.
The next moment, there were two plop sounds.
"Master, I was blind and did not recognize the great man. I hope you will forgive me!"
"My young master is just a fool, he doesn't know anything, please don't bear grudges against him..."
Chi Pan was stunned for a moment, and immediately knelt on the ground: "Master Zhou, I am ignorant of etiquette, please forgive me!"
Why is it this guy!
Chi Pan was not really afraid of ordinary earls. After all, most of the founding earls' family backgrounds had already fallen into disrepair by now and were nothing.
As for the person in front of him, not to mention the Earl, even the ordinary Marquis would not dare to provoke him.
Zhou Yi said calmly: "Learn a lesson. It's okay to be a playboy, but don't be too boastful. In this Bianliang city, having a lot of money may not be useful."
"There are countless people you can't afford to offend."
"Okay, Nanny Lin, you guys organize the people first and take them to Cheng Garden in the evening."
"Yes, uncle."
After Zhou Yi left, Chi Pan sat down on the ground with a pale face.
"Almost finished."
Zhang Haohao slapped Chi Pan’s shoulder in annoyance: “You still keep talking.”
"I usually ask you to control your temper, but you got into trouble today, didn't you?"
"Oh, okay, I'm just worried about you."
"You'd better take care of yourself!"
Zhang Haohao stood up and pulled Nanny Lin, saying, "Mammy, we have to prepare quickly. If we are late, there might be more trouble."
"Uh-huh."
…………
In the evening, carriages kept gathering at the gate of the Earl's Palace, and many of them were officials.
But Zhou Yi, who was greeting people at the door, said that he really didn't know many of them.
I didn't invite so many people. I only invited Huang Shang's family. Now there are at least a dozen officials here.
There is no one lower than the fifth rank...
The Vice Minister of Rites, the Vice Minister of War, the Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple, and even the Imperial City Department's Director Lei Jing came...
If Zhuge Zheng and I didn't know quite a few people, Zhou Yi would have been in trouble.
The mansion was also bustling with activity at this moment. It was the first time that Li Qingluo had seen such a grand scene. The things she had prepared were not enough, so she quickly arranged for people to continue purchasing and even invited back the chef from Fanlou.
The entire front hall is now hung with lanterns, and there are more than forty tables and chairs in the front hall.
From the hall to the courtyard, there is an open space in the middle which serves as a stage.
Zhao Pan'er, Song Yinzhang and Sun Sanniang felt a little helpless at the moment, looking at the busy crowd. The three of them were rearranged into a courtyard, one of the two vacant courtyards next to Zhou Yi.
"Pan'er, what should we do?"
Sun Sanniang was a little anxious. At the dinner, General Zhou actually asked Zhao Pan'er to sit with him. This...
"How should I know, Sanniang? I feel like I may not be able to leave the capital."
Zhao Pan'er's brows were filled with worry. She thought about what Wuqing and Wang Yuyan had said, and then looked at General Zhou's situation. She knew there was no mistake.
I feel like a bride who was forced to marry. I have to obey whether I want to or not.
"Sister, if you ask me, General Zhou is not as bad as you think." Song Yinzhang supported his face with both hands, with a hint of longing in his eyes.
"Look, have we had anyone in the mansion these few days who looked down on us for our background?"
"General Zhou, no, now you should call me Uncle Zhou."
"He fell in love with my sister, but he didn't force her and respected her wishes. You know, compared to Mr. Zhou, what are we?"
"Now we are treated with courtesy. The two ladies in the mansion and the others are all very nice to us."
"Besides, sister, haven't you always wanted to be the eldest lady? Sister Yayu and Sister Yuyan are actually not married yet."
"If you don't get married in one day, you'll have a chance!"
"Quote chapter!"
Zhao Pan'er said unhappily, "Do you really want my sister to follow General Zhou?"
"I think Yin Zhang, you want to follow General Zhou yourself."
When Sun Sanniang said this, Song Yinzhang nodded consciously: "Yes, I do want to follow General Zhou, even if it's just being his concubine, it would be great."
"Let alone General Zhou's status and position, even his attitude towards women, from the details, we can see that he actually makes no difference between a concubine and his wife."
"The maids in the mansion should be treated as human beings, not as commodities."
If Zhou Yi heard what Song Yinzhang said at this moment, he would definitely give him a thumbs up!
That is nice!
"It's over, Yin Zhang, I think you've been poisoned. It's only been a few days. Didn't Ouyang Xu and Pan'er have a good relationship back then? But it's only been three years and they've become like this."
Sun Sanniang was deeply hurt by her husband and children, so how could she trust any man now?
Zhao Pan'er looked at Song Yinzhang and suddenly realized that she seemed to not understand her sister at all.
But if you think about it carefully, General Zhou is indeed a gentleman.
Although he was after me from the beginning, he has never done anything frivolous to me and has helped me many times. I owe him too many favors.
But Zhao Pan'er did not want to repay Zhou Yi by marrying herself to him.
"Forget it, Yinzhang, if you are willing, I will not stop you from being with General Zhou, but don't regret it."
Just as the three of them were chatting, Wang Yuyan suddenly walked in.
With a smile on her face, Wang Yuyan said softly, "Madam Zhao, Madam Song, Madam Sun, the banquet has begun, please take your seats."
"Thank you ma'am."
They came into the hall together, Zhou Yi sat in the main seat, and the others sat on the side in order: Wuqing and Song Yinzhang on the left, Wang Yuyan and Zhao Paner on the right, and Sun Sanniang was at the bottom, sitting next to Li Qingluo.
With this arrangement, Zhou Yi looked at Li Qingluo and almost gave her a thumbs up!
She is worthy of being my step-mother-in-law. She is so knowledgeable and can see through my little thoughts.
After all, Song Yinzhang and Zhao Pan'er had worked in the Music Bureau for so many years, so how could they not understand the meaning of this arrangement? However, the two unmarried ladies in public did not say anything and did not mind.
What could she say?
Inside the hall, guests began to arrive one after another. Huang Shang, Zhuge Zhengwo, and the God Catcher were arranged at the front.
Almost all the rest were people Zhou Yi didn’t know.
Zhou Yi stood up, with a smile on his face, and raised his wine glass: "Everyone, today I, Zhou Yi, was conferred the title of Loyal and Brave Earl, which is a great favor from the government, but you all can come here to give me face."
"I, Zhou Yi, treat people with sincerity, like offering good wine to friends."
"But the enemy's words..."
"Ha, you all know that I have some martial arts skills. I am a man of the world. When facing an enemy, people of the world don't beat around the bush. I just chop him down with my sword."
"This cup is for you all!"
"Haha, what Lord Zhou said is absolutely right. Those who can come today are all friends. Come on, drink!"
The God of Capture smiled and drank the first glass. The others followed suit. After a few glasses of wine, the place suddenly became lively.
Zhou Yi clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, today's dinner is rather hasty, but I heard that the best singer in the capital has a beautiful voice, so I invited her to come and help entertain you today!"
In an instant, as the music sounded, a group of dancers came in and began to dance, with a strong scent of makeup and a fragrant smell.
As Zhang Haohao sang, he danced and sang at the same time, and his breath was not disordered at all. He is indeed a master.
"When will the bright moon come?
Ask Qingtian about wine
I don’t know the palace in heaven…”
Su Shi's Water Melody, sung by Zhang Haohao, is melodious and beautiful, like a fairy in heaven whispering...
Zhou Yi closed his eyes and listened to the music, and everyone in the room was also immersed in it.
I have to say, Zhang Haohao's title is well deserved, her singing is no worse than that of Deng Tianhou in her previous life.
After a while, the song and dance ended, and people came in twos and threes to chat. Zhou Yi raised his glass to toast, and the table became very lively.
Huang Shang left the table early. The old man took good care of his health and went home to sleep on time.
However, the dinner ended very early, and everyone dispersed at 11:00 p.m.
But Gao Hu stayed alone and found Zhou Yi and spoke frankly.
"Master Zhou, I am here today to return a painting."
Zhou Yi looked at Gao Hu, who had a smile on his face, and was a little surprised for a moment. Could it be that this guy hasn't broken off the engagement yet?
"Master Gao, you are joking. Master, you don't owe me any paintings."
Gao Hu sighed, "Sorry to have embarrassed you, Lord Zhou, about the matter between my worthless daughter and Ouyang Xu, ah..."
"But don't worry, Master Zhou. I have already broken off the engagement with Ouyang Xu. In addition, I know that Ouyang Xu still owes Madam Zhao a painting, so I brought it here."
Zhou Yi smiled and glanced at Gao Hu. This old man was considered a smart man.
"Thank you, Master Gao, but since this painting belongs to Madam Zhao, you should return it to her."
"Come, I'll take you to find Madam Zhao."
There was still some reluctance on Gao Hu's face, and even some anger in his heart. After all, he was the deputy commander of the Beijing Camp, a fifth-rank official with real power!
My younger sister is the current imperial concubine. Although her family background is not top-notch, it is also first-rate!
But he really didn't dare to say these words at the moment. Zhou Yi was a man who didn't abide by the rules. He solved official affairs in a gangster way and would always accuse people of treason. Who could stand it?
Moreover, this guy had the guts to curse the Queen Mother in Xuanzheng Hall in front of all the civil and military officials, but nothing happened in the end. Who would dare to believe it?
"Okay, we should follow what Master Zhou said."
At the entrance of Zhao Pan'er's Yalin Pavilion, Zhou Yi shouted directly: "Madam Zhao, are you taking a rest?"
Zhao Pan'er, Song Yinzhang and Sun Sanniang were shocked. This...
"Pan'er, what should we do? Could it be that General Zhou has drunk too much and wants to force..."
"Should, I don't think so..."
The three of them panicked immediately, but then the door was pushed open. Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Are you not asleep?"
"Come on, come out and tell something."
"General, in the middle of the night, I'm afraid..."
"Oh, is this the kind of person I am? Something is really wrong!"
Zhao Pan'er walked out doubtfully and immediately saw Gao Hu.
When Gao Hu saw Zhao Pan'er, he immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Madam Zhao."
As he spoke, he took out a painting from his sleeve.
"Madam Zhao, this is the painting you gave to Ouyang Xu. Now it has been returned to its original owner."
Zhao Pan'er took a deep breath, with a hint of sadness still in her eyes. She took the painting and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Gao."
"It's okay. This is what I should do. I didn't expect Ouyang Xu to be such a heartless person. Now I have forced him to break off the engagement. I will have nothing to do with Ouyang Xu in the future."
Hearing this, Zhao Pan'er looked at Zhou Yi in surprise. Sure enough, he was right.
Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Master Gao, do you have anything else to do?"
Gao Hu waved his hands and smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, I'll take my leave now."
"Well, I've had too much to drink, so I won't send you off, okay?"
"Haha, no problem, Lord Zhou, please stay. I am still sober. Goodbye!"
While waiting for Gao Hu to leave, Song Yinzhang and Sun Sanniang came out, holding Zhao Pan'er's hand, seeming to want to say something but stopping themselves.
Zhou Yi took a look and said lightly: "What I said during the day still counts. If you want to leave tomorrow, I won't stop you."
Having said that, Zhou Yi turned and left, while Zhao Pan'er returned to the room and opened the map in her hand.
It looks like an ordinary landscape painting, but the paper is a bit old and the mountains in the picture are different from the others, as if there is a strange artistic conception in it.
"Pan'er, this is a complete matter."
Sun Sanniang sighed: "But, what are your plans next?"
"Intend?"
Zhao Pan'er's eyes were a little dazed: "I don't know what plans I can make."
“Sanniang, Yinzhang, the three of us are already completely separate, and we have long lost our support.”
"Now, where to go?"
"I can't go back to Qiantang, and the capital city..."
Song Yinzhang immediately said, "Sister, it's in the capital!"
"We're not going anywhere. Don't you understand the seating arrangement for tonight's dinner?"
"General Zhou will not let us leave!"
"Besides, what's wrong with following General Zhou? I don't want to leave."
"I haven't seen much of the prosperity of Bianjing yet. Even if we leave, how far can we three weak women go?"
"I want to stay in Bianjing. Even if I don't follow General Zhou, I won't leave!"
