Yu Tang Golden Boudoir

Chapter 191 Miss Jiaorui
"It's good to teach the officials to know!" Mom's enthusiasm was soaring: "This one is not ordinary, the official said that he is so good, he is not a nobleman in the capital, and he has lived in the capital for a long time?" Weng The gentleman gave a paradoxical 'hmm', and the mother pinched the money, and she thought Mr. Weng was pleasing to the eye: "I said that the high official is a noble person, and the high official can understand the benefits of our lady at a glance, and dare not Keep it from the officials." Mom looked around, leaned in front of Mr. Weng, and said mysteriously, "This young lady is from the Hou family!"

Mr. Weng lowered his eyes, as if he didn't hear this sentence. Seeing that Mr. Weng was indifferent, his mother became a little anxious: "It's not the kind of Hou's mansion that was defeated and copied, this Hou's mansion is very impressive now, It’s like cooking oil over a raging fire!”

"The blazing fire is like cooking oil?" Mr. Weng finally raised his eyelids a little bit: "I still know a little bit about the houses of the government in the capital. Which one is it? The houses of the rich and powerful in the capital are rarely sold outside. Girl, if you pay attention, it's not too difficult to find a few girls who made a big mistake and were sold out, what's so strange about it?"

"Hey, once you hear the words of a senior official, you are very knowledgeable. If it is a girl sold by the Duke's family, I have never seen much of the world, and I know that I can't get it in front of a senior official. This one. "My mother looked left and right again, leaned into Mr. Weng's ear and whispered: "She is the most favored aunt in front of the Hou Ye, but she is too favored, and violated the taboo of the Hou Ye. After several years of searching, I finally found her. For this reason, I caught the foot and sold it, and I spent a full 2000 taels of silver to get it!" Mom casually doubled her identity tenfold.

Mr. Weng's eyelids twitched, and he looked at his mother sideways, as if he didn't believe her words at all: "Which house is it?"

"This..." Mom's tongue and teeth stuck together: "Oh, the high official asked this, but he is from a family in the capital, don't look at Bei'an City, which is thousands of miles away from the capital. , why don’t you know? If I dare to talk too much, I might lose my life, I don’t dare!”

"What about this one?" Mr. Weng took out a banknote from his sleeve, and stretched it out in front of his mother with his fingers: "Which one is it?" Mom stared at the banknote, surprised only by the air that entered but not the air that came out. After taking a few breaths, my mother cried and said with a sullen face: "Don't dare to lie to the high officials, this money... this money, don't dare to lie to the high officials. When buying this young lady, the man only said that he angered the madam. The favored concubine who was sold out by the Hou's Mansion, I think her behavior is really different, and her life is very good, so she spent a lot of money to buy it. That tooth only said Hou's Mansion, and didn't say a word. Come back I also asked her, and she refused to mention a single word, this money, I really dare not lie to the high officials." Mother stretched her hand halfway and then retracted it, stretched it out and retracted it again, anxiously wishing that it would come from her throat. Li stretched out his hand.

"Oh." Mr. Weng gave a dull 'oh', closed the banknote, yawned and said, "It's boring." Speaking of standing up, he was about to walk out with his hands behind his back. Seeing that the banknote was about to go out, my mother Heartbroken like a knife, he hurriedly took a step to stop Mr. Weng and said with a smile: "What's the matter with the senior officials? I'm also lying to the senior officials. Why don't you go and have a look? The senior officials are very knowledgeable." Guang, I'm a smart guy, you only need to take a look at Jiaorui, just take a look, and you'll know that what I'm telling is the truth."

Mr. Weng stopped hesitantly, yawned boredly and said: "This Bei'an city is extremely boring, and the long night is boring. Well, let's take a look. If it is interesting, I will naturally reward you."

"Don't worry, high-ranking officials, don't worry, high-ranking officials! If you don't please the high-ranking officials, I will never accept a penny from the high-ranking officials, and I will show my respect to the high-ranking officials!" The mother smiled brilliantly, and she was very attentive to guide her personally. Mr. Zhuo Weng entered a courtyard in the northeast corner behind.

There is nothing else in Bei'an City, except that the place is large, and so is the courtyard. The two upper rooms and the two west wing rooms are extremely spacious, but in Mr. Weng's eyes, everything is so rough that it can hardly be seen.

Standing at the door of the upper room was a woman in her thirties, dressed in an apricot-colored dress, with bowed eyebrows and hands down. Her mother swept in like a gust of wind, pulled the woman over, pushed her to Mr. Weng, and said, "Look, sir. Just look at our Jiaorui's dress, how elegant it is, it's full of extravagance at first glance, isn't it!"

"Yeah." Mr. Weng seemed a little interested, looked Jiaorui up and down and said: "Bring in the table wine and food, something lighter."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Mom was overjoyed, and she agreed repeatedly, and her subordinates gave Jiaorui a hard pinch, and said with a smile on her face, "Serve me a good official, but there is a little bit of displeasure in the official, you know My temper." Jiaorui shuddered slightly and bent her knees.

Mr. Weng entered the upper room and sat on the kang, Jiaorui raised his sleeves, grinded tea and prepared a cup for tea, Mr. Weng was enveloped in a layer of cold, and looked at Jiaorui with heavy eyes.Jiaorui's skill in ordering tea is familiar without a trace of smoke and fire. After ordering a bowl of tea, bring it to Mr. Weng. When the tea came, Jiaorui stood in front of the kang with her hands down, but she didn't say a word.

Before Mr. Weng had finished tasting the tea in the bowl, several women and maids came in with food boxes, and the table was full of vegetables. There was a pot of venison in the middle, and they brought in a red clay stove to heat the wine. , a little girl was squatting by the stove, watching and preparing for orders.Mr. Weng pointed to the little girl and said: "I just want to be quiet, you go out, as long as you have Jiaorui serving you, close the courtyard door."

Standing by the red clay stove, Jiaorui tried the red copper wine jug. Seeing that it was almost warm, she lifted the jug and poured a glass of wine to Mr. Weng. Mr. Weng took the wine and motioned for Jiaorui, "Sit down , have a drink with the old man, the night is boring, let's talk."

"Yes." Jiaorui's voice was a little hoarse, she sat next to Mr. Weng, and managed to find something to say: "Is the official coming to Bei'an City as a businessman or a friend?"

"I'm not doing business or visiting friends. I'll take my students to travel here." Mr. Weng stared at Jiaorui and continued slowly: "My student's surname is Yu, and his name is Yu Zhihong!" The glass fell to the ground with a bang, the wine in the glass splashed all over his skirt, his face was pale without a trace of blood, and he looked at Mr. Weng in horror, his throat rattled, and he froze into a pale stone.

Mr. Weng suddenly waved the wine in his hand to Aunt Hong's face, and said coldly, "You still have the face to live, how can you have the face to live?" Quan Yong, kowtow like poking garlic, almost uncontrollable weeping came out of his throat.

"You don't dare to cry, okay, okay, you're not so shameless." Mr. Weng narrowed his eyes into a line, staring at Aunt Hong who was kneeling in front of the kang, looking like crazy for a while, then straightened up and took the water from the basin. I took a clean glass from the warm water in the cup, poured a glass of wine and slowly sipped half of the glass, then said: "Yu Zhihong is at the Taiping Inn right now, go and see him." Aunt Hong seemed to see a ghost Looking at Mr. Weng, he moved back subconsciously while shaking his head desperately, begging in a hoarse voice: "Please...please...I'm dead...please let Brother Hong go, please...I Die...I'm going to die!"

Mr. Weng let out a smile: "Now even if you are dead, you are still a good prostitute." Aunt Hong trembled like a dead leaf crumbling in the wind after hearing this sentence, she gradually shrank into a ball on the ground, her eyes looked hopelessly and empty. With Mr. Weng.Mr. Weng sipped the wine in his glass, got off the kang, walked up to Aunt Hong, looked down at her, and asked with a chuckle: "You want to replace Madam, let me ask you, if Madam is like you?" You were betrayed like this, how could she live like you?"

Aunt Hong covered her face violently, tears gushed out through her fingers like spring water, the choking in her throat made the listener heartbroken, and after crying for a long time, Aunt Hong let go, looked up at Mr. Weng with red eyes and said: "It's me, insane, self-inflicted, brother Hong...he doesn't know, he's still a child, please..."

"Zhihong is my student." Mr. Weng said lightly, Aunt Hong's crying stopped suddenly, she looked at Mr. Weng blankly, then suddenly straightened up and knelt down and kowtowed heavily: "Mr. To live is not to be greedy for life, pity my three children... Please tell me, sir, I deserve to die a long time ago." Mr. Weng sighed softly, stomped his feet, sat back on the kang, and poured again by himself. A cup of wine ordered: "Get up, don't make trouble if people see it." Aunt Hong hurriedly stood up, raised her hand to touch her face, and wiped it up with her sleeve. Mr. Weng ordered without lifting his head: "Go clean Clean your face and change your clothes."

"Yes." Aunt Hong was so obedient, she retreated to the partition wall, changed her clothes after a while, and stood respectfully in front of the kang. Mr. Weng raised his glass to her, and said with silk on the corner of his mouth With a smile that doesn't know what it means, he said: "You are an ambitious person. As long as you survive these few years, when Zhihong inherits the title and becomes an uncompromising Marquis, then beat people, or take you back to the Marquis in person. , At that time, you will naturally be the honorable Mrs. Houfu, and you will survive."

Aunt Hong looked at Mr. Weng with a fluctuating expression, but Mr. Weng stopped looking at her and drank slowly with a calm expression. After a while, Aunt Hong reluctantly said: "I don't dare to ask for extravagance, I only hope that Brother Hong and the others It's all good." Mr. Weng put down his glass, shaking his whole body with a smile, Aunt Hong was uneasy at his laughter, Mr. Weng laughed for a long time, then poured another glass of wine, squinted at Aunt Hong and said: "All these years How many men have you served? If you became a wife, wouldn’t Zhihong have countless cheap fathers? Doesn’t every man in the Yu family have to wear a green turban, and every woman can be a husband? It seems that you It's very unusual, it's as heavy as Mount Tai, and the Yu family would not hesitate to change the ancestral hall into a kiln for you, you are so lucky!"
