Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 237
I heard that Tang Bohu didn't need money to enter the brothel, which is the highest achievement among men, but today those silver ingots are inside, why are they still rushing out?Xu Qing thought depressingly, is this the last time among men?

Xu Qing asked angrily: "Hey, I said you don't do good business, but push customers away, what do you mean!"

"Okay, okay, I want to know why, I'll tell you why..." Huaying crossed her hips, pointing her fingers at Xu Qing and said, "Luelue, we open a shop and play the piano, and we welcome customers from south to north, and merchants, because they If you have money, we will accept the officials because they have power, and we will accept Brother Jun because we are happy! But people like you, it’s better not to come in!”

"Who am I?"

"Prisoner! You don't know it. Last night you pretended to be the governor's son and swindled food and drink at the post station. The girl told me when she came back. Who are you trying to hide? This kind of crime will kill people!" Huaying seemed earnest. Authentic: "My store is small and cannot withstand the wind and rain. The girls all rely on this place to make a living and eat. Please raise your hand and go elsewhere."

"Hahaha, I misunderstood, I misunderstood." Xu Qing smiled and said, "The two people you mentioned were beaten away. We arrived later. If you don't believe me, ask them if they are."

"The one who arrived later?" Hua Ying circled around Xu Qing, took a look, and said, "I don't believe it!"

"Go, call the girl here..." Huaying said with vigilance: "If you are not, what's the point of coming here?"

"Oh, it's my brother who has taken a fancy to your girl and is here to redeem her." Xu Qing pushed Yang Cheng to the front, but he opened his head dumbly and then backed away.

After hearing Xu Qing's words, Huaying's eyes brightened.Collecting some overnight money and wine money, in fact, the profit is not big, and the most profitable is actually selling girls.Huaying thought, since she's getting old and fading anyway, it's better to sell it while she's pretty, or she'll have to raise it by herself.

Besides, giggling, the two people in front of me are like goose-headed gooses, maybe they can trick him a bit.

After a while, several girls were brought in, and they called out to Huaying for their mother. Xu Qing looked at Yang Cheng's appearance with straight eyes without turning his eyes.

This appearance made the girls laugh, Huaying scoffed angrily, and asked the girl, "Did the two of them pretend last night?"

The girl shook her head.

Huaying laughed quickly, as if she hadn't said anything just now, she said: "Sister is wrong, sister is wrong, okay, okay, which girl do you want?"

"Yang Cheng, tell me..." Xu Qing nodded Yang Cheng.

"My lord, I, let's go..."

"No price, what's wrong with you?" Xu Qing pulled Yang Cheng aside and asked, "Do you like other girls? Does it depend on her background, oh, I understand, then forget it, let's go?"

When it came to leaving, Yang Cheng couldn't bear it anymore: "No, I... I don't dislike her family background, she, she is still that."

"What that this?"

"That's right, Chu~"

"That's not good, hurry up," Xu Qing urged.

"Cocoa, my lord, what I like is two?"

"What, two!" Xu Qing looked at Yang Cheng: "So you are such a person!"

The two muttered to the side for a while, then returned to Huaying, pointed to the two girls and said, "I want these two, how much?"

Xu Qing thought, when she bought Xu Qi before, she only spent a piece of juan cloth, and a piece of juan cloth cost more than half a tael of silver. To buy this kind of girl, the price should be between ten and twenty taels, right?

Huaying didn't speak, walked up to the girl who was called, and started to check in front of everyone.Look at their teeth, faces, and bodies, and then think about what skills they have, then nod and return: "100 taels, these two are yours!"

"Pfft, 100 taels!" Xu Qing held a pack of five ingots, 50 taels of silver, in his hands, but Hua Ying was so eager to speak.

"Hehehe, I can't help it. These two girls are too young, so they sold them at a low price. My sister is at a loss..." Huaying's winking eyes were like silk, but Xu Qing felt embarrassed.

"Uh, Yang Cheng, I spent a lot of money on you!" Xu Qing leaned into Yang Cheng's ear and said, "It's just because they are sisters-in-law, otherwise I have to cut down the price!"

"It's the contract of sale, let's take a look!" Xu Qing was also not polite, with one hand for the money and the other for the goods.

"Hehehe, brother, you are refreshing!" Huaying said in her heart, knowing that you are reluctant to bargain, it is okay to bargain for things you bought for yourself, but you can buy them for others. .

The deed of sale was brought, Huaying ordered a girl and said: "This is Hezi..."

"Hezi?" Xu Qing seemed to be asking that girl as well as Yang Cheng.

Sure enough, both of them nodded their heads and said, "Yes!"

Huaying clicked again and said, "This is Yulian..."

"Yulian?"

"Ok!"

"Yang Cheng, what are you doing in a daze, take it back!" Xu Qing beckoned, but Huaying stopped her, and she said: "Brother, you can't do this, you can only take him back after paying the money."

The two girls also said: "Yes, yes, I still have some things to tidy up."

This guy Yang Cheng is probably henpecked too, as soon as the two girls spoke, he persuaded Xu Qing, "Don't worry, don't rush hehe..."

The so-called softness refers to the piano, decoration, and a flowered quilt for the boudoir.Huaying is worthy of being a woman in Fengyuechang, she was happy to count the money just a second ago, when the girl took a step, she immediately burst into tears, greeted the leaving girl at the door, and picked up a bracelet, a worthless thing.

That's how Yang Cheng got out of the singles. He likes it, and the girl is also happy. Everyone is happy.Although I counted 100 taels, let's take it as a wedding blessing. I originally wanted to hold a wedding in Liuyang, but Yang Cheng didn't dare to live or die, saying that "they want to go to Chang'an".

Sure enough, he is a guy who is afraid of his wife.

Xu Qing looked disdainful, and hurried to the room to change Xu Wen's diaper with a diaper in one hand, or he would be scolded again if he was late.

After He Zi and Yu Lian met the mistress, they bought a carriage for the two of them and took one of them alone.

The horseshoes kicked and trampled towards Tanzhou.

The closer it is to Tanzhou, the denser the population.However, people here seem to like keeping dogs, and they all come here listening to dogs barking along the way.

There is another phenomenon, that is, the costumes of the villagers along the way have gradually changed, and there is a kind of colorfulness unique to the brothers and nations.

The pronunciation of the ten miles in the south is different. The pronunciation of tea on the side of the mountain is like "zuo", and the pronunciation of tea on the other side of the mountain is like "nuo".In this way, Xu Qing and his party could not settle down in the roadside wild shop. Only the post station and the county town had people who could understand "official dialect".

"Xu Qing, listen, there is the sound of water flowing?" Xu Qi sat on the horse and patted Xu Qing's thigh behind her.

"I heard it a long time ago," Xu Qing shook the reins, the horse walked quickly a few steps, and climbed up the gentle slope next to it. Unexpectedly, under the other side of the gentle slope was a big river about ten feet wide.

Is this the Xiangjiang River?Xu Qing thought, but, looking at the width of the river, it should be the dry season.I think that when the great man was 80 years old, he could still swim across the river with a hug, so the Xiangjiang River was still relatively narrow.

But Xu Qing is not as good as a great man, and neither is the family behind him, so he can only find a ferry.

Just when Xu Qing decided to find a ferry, a crisp singing voice came from above the Xiangjiang River:
"It's midnight and three o'clock~ I hope for dawn~
The cold winter and the twelfth lunar month~ Wait for the spring breeze~
If you want it, brother, come,
Pingshan is blooming everywhere, azalea~"

Following the song's reputation, it turned out to be a fishing boat approaching, as if it was going to cross the river.

In fact, after what happened last time, Xu Qing didn't want to cross the river in the wild again, but looking at the river in front of him, it was only more than ten feet long, so there was no need to go back tens of miles so troublesomely.The most important thing is that Xu Qing's heart was moved when he heard the beautiful singing voice.

"Hey, boatman!" Xu Qing shouted at the top of his voice, and the people on the boat heard it, and immediately responded: "This is a private boat, no passengers~"

"Good boatman, help me, it's too urgent to cross the river!"

Seeing the old and the young on the boat from a distance, they discussed it carefully, and then turned the bow of the boat and rowed towards this side.Seeing this, Xu Qing was overjoyed, and called Xun Xueer and the others to stop and wait.

A person at the bow of the boat swayed the oar with rhythm, but in a blink of an eye, he reached the shore.

A woman jumped down from above, wearing a blue cloth dress, with some teeth bones, a necklace decorated with silver leaves, and a blue and red scarf wrapped around her head, which seemed to be thick hair inside the scarf.

This is a bit like a Miao girl. Xu Qing grinned and asked, "Can you speak Chinese?"

"Aren't you asking nonsense, I don't know how to speak Chinese, can I go ashore?" The girl pointed at Xu Qing and said, "You call the boat? What's the rush?"

"I'm a merchant from Hongzhou. My hometown is Jiangzhou. Something happened at home, so I went back with my family and passed by here. I didn't see the ferry, but I saw you, girl." Xu Qing lied casually. .

"Urgent matter? What urgent matter!" The girl asked cautiously, not trusting her.

"Uh, the family has a great gathering, I want to go back and talk to each other!"

"You Han people are troublesome, hmph..." The girl said: "Hmph, it's a good thing you met us, and let me tell you, there is no ferry in the first thirty miles or the last fifty miles of your place."

"Isn't this just fate?"

"Bah, bah, whoever has a relationship with you thinks I don't understand Chinese!"

"Oh, girl, how much does the word "youyuan" have in my Chinese..."

"Okay, okay, don't talk too much, your family is young, can't it be her?" The girl pointed to Xu Qi in front of Xu Qing's horse and asked.

"No, no, there are still a few more people." Xu Qing smiled, and waved to call all the people below the slope up.

Xun Xueer's daughters and maids, Niu Grass and his servants, Yang Cheng and his guards, as well as those who carried boxes and drove cars, more than 50 people all appeared on Po Yazi.

The girl opened her mouth wide with disbelief on her face, and then said: "No, no, my boat is too small to carry so many people!"

Xu Qing said with a smile all over his face: "It's enough to go back and forth a few times..."

The girl stomped her feet and said angrily, "Are you trying to exhaust me to death?"

"Oh, no, no, there are people in my family who can row the oars, the girl can just rest, I will let the servants row the oars, and the boat money will be paid as usual."

"Bah, who wants your stinky money!" The girl made a disgusted look, and said to Xu Qing: "We are in a hurry, you just let the cargo vehicles go on the road, and the women's family members just cross the river. After crossing the river, It only takes one day to go to Tanzhou City, which is a flat road, so you can walk with peace of mind."

"Oh, by the way, my name is Xiuxiu..."
