Daughter of Hou's Mansion

Compared to Qingluan's preoccupation, Wei Xiner's expression was calm. She had already predicted the worst case, and it didn't matter if there was one more thing.

"Luan'er, well, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. We are worried here. There will still be a lot of troubles. Those people who don't like you will still have them. Why don't you just calm down and do it?" If you are fully prepared, then even if the harem is full of monsters, you will not be afraid." Wei Xin'er smiled lightly and put a piece of pastry into Qingluan's mouth, blocking her mouth that was still about to speak.

Seeing her long eyelashes fanning slightly, Qingluan silently swallowed the pastry in her mouth, and figured out the whole story of what happened today. How could Sister Xiner not be afraid? It's just that she insisted on forcing them to rest assured. Pretending to be calm and smiling, she is very distressing.But Qingluan had no choice.

There was a sudden silence in the carriage, and after leaving the city gate, there was less excitement outside.Only the sound of "cracking" horseshoes and the turning of wheels can be heard.

During the day, he sat quietly by the car door, closed his eyes and meditated, only heard the sound of horseshoes, and Shangguan Jue's voice came from outside.

"Miss Wei, didn't that wild dog scare you just now?" Shangguan Jue's voice was obviously flattering and flattering.

Qingluan saw that he compared Jiang Aojie to a wild dog, I am afraid that only he, who is used to misbehavior, would say this casually, and I don't know what it would be like if Jiang Hou knew that Shangguan Jue compared her twin brother to a wild dog feelings.

Thinking of this, Qingluan felt a lot more relaxed. Although the appearance of this Shangguanjue ruffian was really annoying, Qingluan had to admit that his arrogance was the best weapon against the Jiang family.

After all, Shangguan Jue is also a member of the royal family, and it is much more convenient for them to enter and leave the palace. In the future, if my sister enters the palace, he can take care of her for a while, and maybe she can avoid some dangers.

"Thank you for your concern, my son. Today we have more sons, so we can leave the city smoothly. Qingluan thanked you here." Qingluan put away his dislike for Shangguanjue in a flash, and expressed his gratitude in a kind tone.

Shangguan couldn't help but patted his head and smirked, this was the first time Wei Qingluan was so kind to him, but I don't know if she looks better when she smiles than when she is angry.

If Xiao Fan knew what his grandfather was thinking at this time, he would have sighed in amazement. It turned out that his grandfather was still a masochist, and he liked Miss Wei's cold face.

Wei Che didn't pay attention, and when he looked at Shangguan Jue again, he saw the kid jumping to the side of the carriage with a flirtatious expression on his face. The horse who saw Xiao Fan stepped forward to block him.

The little fan smiled and said to Wei Che: "Young Master, did you know a man named Yan Daniu when you were in the Northwest Military Camp?"

The little fan asked about the northwest military camp, so Wei Che couldn't leave him behind. What's more, the person the little fan asked Wei Che knew, and even helped him in the military camp.

Seeing his puzzled look, the little fan said: "My family name is Yan, and Yan Daniu is my uncle's name. He used to be the follower of the late son, but after the son passed away, the prince decided to let him go." It's just that he didn't want to come back after staying in the barracks."

When Wei Che heard that he was actually Yan Daniu's nephew, his attitude became much more kind, and he even happily chatted with Little Fan about Yan Daniu's situation in the barracks. 13acv.

Qingxin's face is numb.Xiao Fan replied with a smile on the one hand, but at the same time glanced at the figure of his master from the corner of the eye, secretly said in his heart, Grandpa, you can see that Xiao Fan even stopped Master Wei Xiaohou for you. You must add my monthly bill.

Although Shangguan Jue's reputation is not very good, but he has been hanging around outside since he was a child, and his ability to find topics without words is also first-rate. During the one-hour journey from the North City Gate to Wenquanzhuangzi, he relied on it to death. He refused to leave beside the carriage.

Because Qingluan has something to ask of him, it is not easy to speak harshly to each other like before.

It wasn't until the gate of the hot spring village was not far away that Shangguan Jue patted his chest and assured him: "Miss Wei, don't worry, this Miss Wei is sure to be safe in the palace. Tomorrow, I will let someone Send me a copy of the documents from the palace, Miss Wei has read it by heart, so you should avoid the taboos, even if you are not blessed with grace, you can survive in peace."

Qingluan understood that the information Shangguan Jue spoke must be more useful than the ones obtained by the old lady, so she didn't shy away from it, slightly lifted the curtain of the car and smiled at Shangguan Jue: "Then thank you, my lord."

Shangguanjue hadn't seen Qingluan for a month, and felt that she seemed to have grown a little bit, and that slight smile was actually full of infinite charm.Shangguanjue was a little dazed, he had seen countless beauties, and the women in the Red Sleeve Tower were all prettier than Qingluan, but no one's smile made him feel dizzy.

Qingluan only showed a hasty smile, then put down the curtain of the car, turned her head and saw Wei Xiner's joking smile, her face was suddenly embarrassed, and she touched her nose unnaturally.

Wei Xin'er didn't say much, and the carriage stopped after a while.

The people in the hot spring village had already stood outside. Wei Che got off his horse, and the head of the village, Wang Daming, came up with his daughter-in-law. Those people who guard the village in the countryside rarely see their master for a year. This time, he greeted the three masters in one breath, which made Wang Daming feel like being hit by a pie falling from the world. If this is served well, it will be a great fortune. "

"Slave pays respects to Master Hou." Wang Daming knelt down and saluted together with a dozen or so people in the Zhuangzi.

Wei Che nodded and signaled everyone to get up, Qingluan and Wei Xin'er in the carriage over there also got out of the carriage, because at the gate of their own village, the two of them had no cover, but each wore a cloak made of wild duck feathers , the cloak is as bright as a red glow in the sun, and from a distance, it looks like a pair of immortals descending from the earth.

The daughter-in-law of Wang Daming's family rubbed her eyes, led several young daughter-in-laws in the village to come forward and said: "The two girls are so beautiful, they are really just like what they said."

Although these words were flattering, they were also very interesting. Xia Zhi and Xiaoqing's second servant girl stood behind them and covered their mouths and laughed.

Wei Xin'er and Qingluan also had faint smiles in their eyes, and they finally left Beijing. The air here smelled particularly relaxed and free.

Shangguan Jue jumped off the horse, Wei Che wanted to go forward to send him off, but he heard Qingluan say: "Brother, let's go in, it's almost noon, don't rush back, after dinner Let's go again, if you don't mind Zhuangzi's simplicity, please come in together."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Jue smiled and said, "I don't mind, of course I don't mind."

Wei Che's normally serious expression was slightly cracked, and he felt an inexplicable astringency in his heart as if his treasure had been snatched away, and he didn't know what kind of soup this kid had given his sister along the way. Didn't Luan'er really hate him? Why, why did he take the initiative to invite him to dinner.

Although Wei Che felt dissatisfied, his sister had already said this, so he would not open his mouth to smear her face. He took a step forward to stand in front of Shangguanjue and Qingluan, and said directly to Shangguanjue, "Please, my lord!" !"

Shangguan Jue was in the right mood and didn't mind seeing Wei Che's displeasure, so he stepped inside with a smile. Wei Che followed behind him, while Qingluan and Wei Xin'er were three steps behind them.The rest of the guards and the people in the village were busy moving all the things on the carriage in.

The area occupied by the hot spring village is not too small, so Qingluan gave the largest courtyard to Wei Xiner to live in, and even brought two aunts from the palace to live there. It's a rule, and the three of them living together are also beneficial for the two aunts to raise Wei Xin'er in details.

Qingluan herself chose a small courtyard on the east side, each master's courtyard has a spring of hot spring, Qingluan loves this design very much, when entering the courtyard, she doesn't care about anything, just get comfortable first Take a bath.

Immediately, he changed into light clothes and invited Wei Xiner to go to the front together.

In the front hall, Wei Che was sitting and drinking tea with Shangguan Jue. Wei Che's face was livid, and seeing Shangguan Jue's brows and eyes was full of vigilance, he really wanted to throw this playful kid out the door immediately.

But Shangguan Jue didn't seem to notice Wei Che's ugly face at all, and followed him chattering nonstop with a smile on his face.

Standing behind Shangguan Jue, Xiao Fan couldn't bear to watch this scene, and he didn't know when Wei Xiaohou would be unable to bear it anymore and get mad at his master.

When Qingluan and Wei Xiner came in, they saw such awkward people.

Wei Che stood up and said, "Have you settled down?"

Qingluan nodded.

Wei Che glanced at Shangguan Jue, who had curved eyebrows and eyes, and always felt that this kid's smile became even brighter after Luan'er and Xin'er entered the door. In his eyes, he was as uneasy and kind as a weasel who gave New Year greetings to chickens. .

"Since the two of you have settled down, let's go. The guards will let them stay in the village. If you two have anything to do, you can send them. I will pick you up in half a month." Che said hurriedly.

How could Qingluan be willing to let her elder brother go hungry, and quickly said: "Brother, what are you busy with, it's not too late to leave after eating."

Shangguan Jue salivated and rubbed his stomach and said, "Yes, yes, how can you go on the road hungry!"

It's obviously an incomparably wretched expression, but he has a handsome appearance. There is something indescribably "cute" about such an action. Qingluan shook her head again and again because of the coldness of this adjective that got into her mind. Turning his face away, he asked Wang Daming: "But lunch is ready?"

Wang Daming quickly responded with a smile: "It's been prepared a long time ago, but the dishes in the countryside are rough, and I don't know if the masters are used to it or not?"

Qingluan shook her head and said: "It's okay, if you eat too many delicate ones, it's a good time to change your taste."

While talking, Wang Daming's daughter-in-law led several young daughter-in-laws who had cleaned up and brought up all the prepared dishes.

There are wild duck mushroom soup hunted on the mountain, fish raised in the river pond at home, and some dried wild vegetables dried in the summer. They are basically home-grown game. I don't eat it often, and several people have a big appetite.

Originally, Shangguan Jue, a foreigner, was there, and several people should eat at the same table, but Qingluan thought that he was not in the mansion anyway, and there were not so many rules, so he let the same table eat.

During the half-hour meal time, several people are well-educated, and they pay attention to eating without talking or sleeping.

After eating, Wei Che hurriedly left. This time, Qingluan didn't keep him anymore. Although Shangguanjue was a little bit unsatisfied, his elder brother had already left, so he couldn't stay any longer, so he could only hold him in dismay. He rode his horse and followed behind Wei Che.

It was a large convoy when they came, but when they returned, there were only three horses left, and the speed of returning to the city was much faster. When they entered the city, Wei Che cupped his hands at Shangguan Jue and said, "I want to go back to the mansion. , just leave it alone."

Shangguan Jue nodded, Wei Che pulled the rein and quickly brushed past Shangguan Jue.Shangguanjue only heard a faint warning: "Don't think about my sister."

As soon as the words fell, the horse ran away and disappeared.

Shangguanjue looked at Wei Che's disappearing figure, squinted his eyes slightly, then turned his face to look at the little fan, and asked extremely aggrieved: "Does your father look so bad?"

The little fan secretly rolled his eyes, Young Master Wei is just protecting Miss Wei like an eyeball, not to mention your reputation in Beijing now, even if you are smart and talented, as long as you want to win Miss Wei's idea, then Wei Xiaohou will have to work hard with you.

Shangguan has never been depressed for long, and he has wasted a lot of time today, so he has to get down to business.

"Okay, let's go to Hongyan Tower." Shangguan Jue turned his horse's head, flicked his whip, and headed for the most ecstatic Hongyan Tower in Shangjing.

Hongyan Tower is located in the West Market of Shangjing. That street gathers all the brothels and small restaurants in the capital, but it is said to be a man's favorite place of ecstasy.

Because it was only in the afternoon, the West Market hadn't reached its busiest time yet, but even so, there were already quite a few people coming and going.

As soon as Shangguan Jue's figure appeared at the door of the Hongyan Tower, the young servants there came up to lead the horses. This Prince Qin's son was a frequent visitor of the Hongyan Tower, and he was generous, and he was also the most popular guest in the Hongyan Tower.

"Master, I haven't seen you for a few days, Miss Yuluo's heart hurts just thinking about it." The young man stepped forward and said in a fawning manner.

Shangguanjue casually threw him a piece of silver and said, "This son misses her very much too."

The young man weighed the silver in his hand, and suddenly smiled and looked at each other.He hurriedly led Shangguan Jue and Xiao Fan down to settle down.

Shangguan Jue entered the Hongyan Tower, and there were not too many guests inside at the moment. The old bustard dressed in red and willow green shook a handkerchief, and said in an exaggerated tone: "Hey, my lord, you have finally appeared. Our girl Yuluo will be lovesick if it happens."

When Shangguan Jue heard this, his face was full of color, and he gave Xiao Fan a wink, and Xiao Fan took out a bank note and handed it to the old bustard.

Seeing the face value of 500 taels, the smile on the old bustard's face almost shook off the thick layer of powder, and said loudly: "Shuangshuang, why don't you come over and lead the son to Miss Yuluo's yard."

After a while, a girl in plain clothes came over.

The old bustard who was originally smiling suddenly said angrily: "You little tramp, don't you think that you have not beaten enough? Don't think that you are still the high-ranking official daughter. Now you are just a lowly slave worth only five taels of silver. That's all, didn't old age tell you not to dress like this again, it's bad luck."

Shangguan Jue looked over for a moment, and the person who came was Bai Shuangshuang.He was the one who sent the Bai family to hell, and Bai Yong had earned so much money, killed so many people, and kept him alive for several years.

Bai Shuangshuang had a white face, her original oval face was almost thinned into an awl, and she fell from a wealthy official family to a prostitute in a brothel overnight, which is really not for everyone.

The father and brother beheaded to show the public, the family members sold and exiled, the Bai family was almost completely defeated.

Thinking of the rumors that she once released that were not good for her because she was jealous of Wei Qingluan, now she doesn't even have the right to be jealous of her.

Entering this Hongyan Tower, in order to break her arrogance, the old bustard demoted her to be a servant girl, beat her or scolded her if she felt unsatisfactory, sometimes she didn't even know why she still lived like this.

Bai Shuangshuang's eyes were reddened by the vulgar cursing of the old bustard. She didn't even have the qualifications to be a filial piety for her father and brother, and now she would be humiliated for wearing a plain shirt.Bai Shuangshuang begged the old bustard almost in tears, "Mom, my father and brother have passed away for less than half a month, and it would be a great disobedience for me not to be filial for them. If I wear red and green again, I might be struck by lightning." , Mom, please be considerate."

Bai Shuangshuang begged softly, because the torment during this period made her body thinner and weaker, as if she would collapse when the wind blows.

The benefactors who had been having fun in the hall all showed sympathy when they saw this.

Seeing this, the old bustard couldn't help but spat at her, and scolded: "Your father and brother, how many lives have been carried on your body, it is not an exaggeration to cut them into pieces. Although my old lady earns skin and meat business, I am better than your father." Well, your father is collecting money by stepping on countless bones, and you still have the nerve to mention your father and brother."

Bai Shuangshuang's face became even more ugly upon hearing this, her trembling body almost seemed to faint.

The old bustard sneered and said: "Put away your appearance, to be a maid, you have to act like a maid, don't pretend to be soft and weak to seduce men, hey, my mother sees that you are born to do this job, this seduce You don’t need to teach other people how to look.”

What the procuress hates the most is this kind of thoughtful girl, who is frivolous and frivolous, and the official daughter must be noble to sell, instead of seducing patrons casually like her without shame.
