Charming Dragon Emperor: Abandoned concubine, please respect yourself!

Chapter 94 The Concubine Is Intentional
Qin Luoyan walked over, blessed the middle-aged man, and said: "My brother has gone out to do some errands, and he is not at home today. Does this eldest brother need to find my brother?"

"It's really not a coincidence that I'm not at home." The middle-aged man looked disappointed, and took out an invitation card from his arms, "Since I'm not here, I won't bother you, it's just for Mr. Wuhen from my master." I hope the girl will deliver the invitation. My master told me that today is the first day of the new year, so I prepared a small gift for Mr. Wuhen, and I hope you will accept it."

After he said this, Qin Luoyan noticed that there was a small box beside him, and he handed the small box to Qin Luoyan.

Qin Luoyan did not reach out to receive it, "Brother, we appreciate your master's kindness, but my brother is not at home, so I dare not accept this gift casually, so don't make it difficult for me."

"It's just some worthless things, girl, please don't be polite, if this gift can't be given away, my master will blame me later." The middle-aged man put the box in front of Qin Luoyan, turned around and left.

He walked quickly, but disappeared into the small box in an instant.Qin Luoyan sighed, and had no choice but to ask Erya to take the box and go back to the yard.

After entering the yard, Erya opened the box and took a look. When she saw the small golden bars inside, she didn't come back to her senses for a while, "Here, girl, it's all gold, he actually said it's not worth much." How rich is his master?"

Erya's dumbfounded aroused Yisheng's sideways glance, Yisheng leaned over to take a look, and also took a breath, only Qin Luoyan frowned unconsciously, the first person who came to her made a move. Such generosity has a greater impact than she expected. It seems that the dignitaries in Fengqi City are far more concerned about the manufacture of weapons than she has seen.

When someone puts so much emphasis on weapon manufacturing, does it mean that something big is about to happen in Fengqi City?

Qin Luoyan was a little apprehensive. In such a situation, if she went deep into it, the danger would be much greater.

"Miss, what are you thinking?" Seeing that she hadn't moved, Erya couldn't help asking.

Qin Luoyan came back to his senses, shook his head and smiled, before he could speak, he heard someone knocking on the door again, Er Ya was startled, and hurried to open the door.

"Excuse me, is Mr. Wuhen at home?" A stooped old man looked in from the door.

Erya turned her head to look at Qin Luoyan's sense of direction, and after a while, another one came.

The way the old man came was similar to that of the middle-aged man before, and he also sent some New Year gifts and posts.

This time, Qin Luoyan didn't even show his face, and just asked Erya to send him away according to what she said earlier.

In just one day, four or five waves of people came here.

At night, Qin Luoyan sorted out all the posts he had received, and found that three were invitations from court ministers and two were from well-known wealthy businessmen in Fengqi City.

Those ministers are not first-rank officials, and the highest one is only from the fourth rank. It is reasonable to say that such officials would not be interested in weapon manufacturing. The posts they sent should be for the people behind them.

"Miss, do you want to go to all these invitations?" Erya poured tung oil into the oil lamp, and the candle flame brightened a bit.

Qin Luoyan shook his head, "A good bird chooses a tree to live in, but the most taboo thing is to step on two boats. If I go to all these invitations, people who really want to use me will be worried.

"Then where did you invite?" Erya felt that her lady's words were becoming more and more philosophical, and she could only understand a lot of things now.

Qin Luoyan remained silent, walked to the window and opened it to let in some air. He didn't immediately answer Erya's question, but there was something meaningful in his smile.

Early the next morning, the Li family prepared a simple funeral for Carpenter Li. The boss of the Li family was originally named Li Long. He came to Qin Luoyan's yard in the morning to find some people to help. He told a few carpenters who had a good relationship with him about the matter, and when they heard that the Li family had offended such a big shot, they didn't dare to come to Carpenter Li's funeral, for fear of getting themselves into trouble.

Old Li's family didn't know many people in Fengqi City, and even the few coworkers who usually had a good relationship didn't come. The funeral became more and more deserted, so they could only come to Qin Luoyan for help.

Qin Luoyan didn't delay, and brought Erya and Yishengsheng over to help.

In the mourning hall, old Li's daughter-in-law cried and fainted several times, and Li Long and Hu'er knelt in front of Li Carpenter's coffin, and he was also heartbroken.Originally, the coffin was to be carried away, but now there is only Li Long, an adult man, so when the time comes, he will carry the coffin and walk step by step to the cemetery in the suburbs.

Qin Luoyan sighed, and led Yisheng to walk behind Li Long. Seeing this young man stubbornly carrying his father's coffin on his back, his calf trembled slightly due to excessive force every time he took a step, her heart I couldn't help but sink a little bit.

For those who live at the bottom, it is extremely difficult to do everything. They may have to pay a hundredfold effort to solve things that can be solved with only a few taels of silver in a rich family.She didn't have a lot of money to find some helpers for him. This kind of thing is a matter of the old Li's family, and Li Long has to support it himself, otherwise she can help for a while, but she can't keep the old Li's family forever.

The cemeteries in the suburbs of Beijing are said to be cemeteries, but in fact they are not much higher than mass burials. It is an area designated by the government for those who cannot afford a cemetery. In this area, you can dig a hole at will and send your family members buried.

Li Long walked for an hour with the coffin on his back before arriving at the cemetery. He put down the coffin and went to dig a hole without taking a break. Hu'er washed his nose and went to help with a hoe.

Erya and Yisheng were not hypocritical people, so they also went up to help, while Qin Luoyan helped the old Li's daughter-in-law, who was almost exhausted from crying, and sat down under a tree beside her.

"Miss Qin, thank you so much this time. If it wasn't for you, I really don't know what to do." Lao Li's wife wiped away tears and said, "It's just that these days, I can see through it. There must be good rewards. Miss Qin, you are a good person, so my daughter-in-law, Li, can't be selfish and cling to you as a big tree. After Lao Li is buried, you don't care about our family's affairs, in case you get into trouble , I will have a bad conscience for the rest of my life if I implicate you in the future."

"Sister-in-law, don't say that. If there is any trouble that I really can't solve, don't worry, I will get out in time. I am not as kind as you think, so as long as I haven't got out, there is still a lot of trouble." I hope." Qin Luoyan said it very honestly, she felt that there was no need to deceive this woman who actively persuaded herself not to care about them, to be honest, it might not look good on the surface, but at least it gave everyone a bottom line .

Old Li's daughter-in-law never thought that she would say that, tears welled up in her eyes, and she held Qin Luoyan's hand and wept uncontrollably.

On this day, it snowed again. Fengqi City didn't usually snow a lot in winter, but for some reason it was so cold this year, it actually snowed in the early spring after the New Year's Eve.

In the snow, Qin Luoyan watched Li Long put Carpenter Li's coffin into the pit, and then piled it up with dirt.Carpenter Li was buried, but the sad thing is that there is not even a tombstone.

This is the most ordinary normal life nowadays. Erya wrapped Qin Luoyan in a cloak and held up an umbrella. When they left, none of them looked in the direction of the cemetery.

After Li Carpenter was buried, Li Long followed Qin Luoyan's instructions to follow the Wu family master.

Qin Luoyan went back to the yard, changed into men's clothes and went out again. Erya wanted to follow, but she arranged to take care of Lao Li's wife.

There is a world-renowned tea house on the East Street of Fengqi City. The tea in it is very expensive, and the price of each cup is very high, but there are still many people who go to this tea house every day, not to say that The tea here is really better than other places. In fact, most people come here not to drink tea, but to listen to books.

There is a storyteller in the teahouse, surnamed Feng Mingxian. This storyteller is not an ordinary storyteller, but a gentleman from the Imperial College of Fengqi City. , that is, storytelling.Every month on the [-]th day of the first month, I come back to this teahouse to tell stories, and the stories are all about the world, especially a lot of news are secrets that ordinary people can't even get to know.

Although today is the first day of the new year, but Feng Xian's storytelling is when the time comes, rain or shine, so when Qin Luoyan came to the teahouse, he saw an old man with a gray beard sitting on the table.

The teahouse was full of seats. Qin Luoyan searched around before finding a seat in the corner of the hall on the first floor. There were already three people sitting around the table, all young people around 20 years old. Sitting down, the three people next to him just nodded slightly.

"What good stories can this old man tell?" Sitting on Qin Luoyan's left was a man wearing a hat. He looked very handsome, but his eyes were very disdainful when he spoke.

Sitting on Qin Luoyan's right is a slightly older man, who has three points of eyebrows and eyes similar to the man who spoke before, "Seventh brother, don't underestimate this old man, he is a first-rate storyteller, if you don't believe me, ask me three times." elder brother."

"It's kind of nice, especially the story he's going to tell today. If I'm not mistaken, you must be interested in it." The man called Third Brother opened his mouth, drinking tea gracefully while speaking.

Qin Luoyan remained calm, but secretly looked at the three of them. It turned out that the three of them were brothers, but they were ranked seven, and their father was quite fertile. From this point of view, these three people I'm afraid he is a child of some big family.

Not waiting for Qin Luoyan to be curious, Feng Xian on the stage saw that the people had almost arrived, so he took a sip of tea and started to tell a story, "Today, I want to talk about Lang Youqing's intention to come to concubine, and a good story will spread thousands of miles. There are many interested concubines of Lang You, who do you think you should listen to first?"

As soon as Feng Xian started, he handed over the initiative to the audience in the audience. When the audience heard Mr. Feng's question, several young people immediately booed, "If you want to say that in Fengqi City, there has been an uproar recently. Isn't it about the marriage between the seventh young master of the Nangong family and the daughter of the Wei family? Mr. Feng, isn't that what you want to talk about?"

"Children can be taught." Mr. Feng shook his head and whetted everyone's appetite before continuing: "The Nangong family has been in business for generations, and they are the richest people in our Nanyue Kingdom. First, they are the number one imperial merchants. Next, they are the number one salt merchants." Shang, the son of the Nangong family can be said to be as rich as an enemy, and the daughter of the Wei family is the daughter of Wei Jun, a first-rank official in the imperial court. The marriage of these two families is not the most popular in Fengqi City. s story?"

"However, everyone only knows one thing and doesn't know the other." Mr. Feng took another sip of tea and continued, "If it's only as simple as it seems on the surface, what kind of book do you want me, Mr. Feng?"

"Mr. Feng, don't be a fool. You should hurry up and say it. We have all heard that the daughter of the Wei family seems to have caused a lot of trouble at home because of this incident. It seems that she is dissatisfied with the marriage. What happened?" Someone booed from below again.

Qin Luoyan glanced at the person who spoke, there were several people around him, and even though one of them was disguised, she recognized him at a glance, Muhe?Why did he appear here? They booed and asked these questions, all at Fu Zimo's instruction?
"Hey, you guys are really smart, I, Feng, said you already know?" Feng Xian pointed at them humorously, and said, "That's right, we're going to show you this today." The story of the daughter of the Wei family, by the way, this daughter of the Wei family is the concubine daughter of General Wei, who was raised in the old house in the early years, and was taken back to the Wei family last year, and the old house of the Wei family is located in one of the four major cities in the south In Licheng, there is a scholar in Licheng, who is born with outstanding appearance and is used to writing poems, especially love poems..."

The next story, you don’t need to listen to it, it’s the story of the daughter of the Wei family and the scholar meeting each other and getting to know each other. There’s nothing special about the story. People quickly gave and accepted in private, but at this time, the daughter of the Wei family was taken back to the Wei family.

"It's true that the man has love and concubine's intentions, but it's a pity that he ordered the mandarin ducks by mistake..." Mr. Feng narrated, and then said: "However, the destiny of marriage has been the words of matchmakers since ancient times. The marriage of the daughter of the Wei family should be arranged by General Wei. Make the decision, how can that poor scholar be worthy of the daughter of the Wei family."

As soon as this anecdote came out, the audience in the audience immediately started a lively discussion. Mr. Feng was the only one who dared to tell these anecdotes on such an occasion.Don't look at Mr. Feng as an old man with a gray beard and no official position, but he is a genuine emperor's teacher. The current emperor was taught by him in the early years, and his love of storytelling was also praised by the emperor. It also specifically approved that as long as what he said was the truth, he was given the right to tell stories.

Therefore, he dared to say these words, but no one could do anything to him.However, Mr. Feng also has a sense of proportion, and these so-called secrets never involve politics, so the people in the court just turned a blind eye.

"It's really unreasonable. That old man Wei Jun gave me this kind of daughter! Does he really not care about our Nangong family?" The man sitting on Qin Luoyan's left hand slapped the table, causing Some of the tea on the table was spilled.

"Seventh brother, don't talk nonsense!" The man sitting next to him immediately scolded in a cold voice, and even glanced at Qin Luoyan.

It turned out that how many people were from the Nangong family?Qin Luoyan didn't expect to meet the ancient version of the local tyrant after drinking tea.The corner of her mouth twitched, she lowered her head to drink tea, pretending not to understand what he said.

"Brother, am I not angry? From what you said just now, you already knew it?" Nangong Qi clenched his fists in anger, took out a bank note from his pocket and threw it at Qin Luoyan, " Hey, you, get away now, this bank note is yours."

Qin Luoyan was lowering her head and trying to reduce her sense of existence, but suddenly someone threw a silver ticket. The silver ticket was lightly hit on the face and didn't hurt, but it was enough to make her eyes darken.

She snorted coldly, picked up the banknote, rubbed it in her hands, and threw it back for him when Nangongqi was puzzled.

It was the first time in Nangongqi's life that someone threw money at him, so he was stunned on the spot.

"You don't know what to do, are you sure you don't want this bank note? Do you know what denomination it is?" Nangong Qi was so angry that his face turned blue, and he pointed at Qin Luoyan's nose and growled lowly, as if he was going to tell the daughter of the Wei family. His anger was vented on Qin Luoyan.

Qin Luoyan laughed, not only intentionally or unintentionally, when she laughed, she occasionally sprayed out a sip of hot tea, and sprayed it directly on Nangong Qi's face, "What's the denomination? I'm sorry, my son, I can't read, I can't read I understand." Qin Luoyan stood up with a smile, without apologizing for himself, "Since you want to say something you don't want me to hear, wouldn't it be easier to get out and say it?"

"Do you dare to tell me to get lost?" Nangong Qi was furious, and stood up to hit Qin Luoyan, but Nan Gongting beside him quickly grabbed his shoulder.

"Seventh brother, don't be impulsive, he is just an irrelevant person."

"It doesn't matter whether he is irrelevant or relevant, anyway, I am very upset now, at worst, I will beat him up, and I will pay for it later!" Nangongqi pushed Nangongting away and shook his fist at Qin Luoyan.

Qin Luoyan instinctively dodged back, a flash of sternness flashed in his eyes, and then he roared loudly: "Nangongqi, you can't just give up like this, it's you who say you don't dislike me as a man, and you who say you like men If you like the daughter of the Wei family, why are you taking your anger out on me when you hear that the daughter of the Wei family no longer wants you?"

Qin Luoyan yelled as he retreated, and when he retreated to the door of the teahouse, he fell to the ground in embarrassment, and then made an exaggerated hand with Erkang, and yelled: "Nangongqi, I was originally a child of a poor family. It was you who said that as long as I slept with you, you would provide for my parents until the end of their lives, but now you want to abandon me, and you will be punished by God!"

Originally, everyone pricked up their ears in shock when they heard the words "Nangongqi". In order to hear more exciting news, many people unconsciously blocked the way of Nangongqi, so Qin Luo Smoke has the chance to say so much.

It's just that they didn't expect to see the Nangong family that Lang Youqing's concubine had in mind before, and even more beautiful, they didn't expect that Nangong Qi was actually a broken sleeve?
All of a sudden, the teahouse was boiling, much more lively than what Mr. Feng said before.

Qin Luoyan had already reached the door, and ran away without even thinking about it. She glanced back hastily, and saw that Mu He and several young people had "accidentally" blocked the door.

It seems that Mu He has discovered her.

In the teahouse, the chaos has become a pot of porridge. Those who want to cling to the Nangong family squeeze forward one by one, wishing to have a few words with the people of the Nangong family, but if the Nangong family leaks a little soup, it is enough for them to eat For a lifetime.

Nangongqi wanted to explain, but sadly found that the people around him didn't want to listen to his explanation at all, and they all expressed their belief that his behavior must be the nonsense of that person just now.However, those people's eyes were clearly full of disbelief, and they immediately stated their position, just to conform to Nangong Qi.

In this way, even if Nangong Qi explained again, no one would believe it.

Nangongting and Nangongyan glanced at each other, and at the same time looked towards the direction where Qin Luoyan left. An indescribable embarrassing situation!They could predict that after such a commotion, Nangong Qi's reputation would be completely ruined.

Qin Luoyan ran for a block before stopping. She didn't regret offending the Nangong family, and it was impossible for her to become friends with people with that temperament.

The night is getting colder.

When Qin Luoyan returned to the courtyard, Erya had already returned. As soon as she entered the courtyard, Erya who was standing at the gate pointed in the direction of the hall, "The prince just came too."

Qin Luoyan was startled, nodded to her, and then walked towards the hall.

After she entered the room, Fu Zimo, who was sitting on the main seat, glanced at her, and then had a displeased expression on his face, "Is that why you went out wearing this?"

"Well, it's convenient to wear men's clothes. I'm too beautiful. I'm afraid that too many people will like to trouble the prince if I wear women's clothes." Qin Luoyan came to the direction where he was attacking, poured tea for herself, and ran down in one breath. She was tired and thirsty.

Fu Zimo snorted, "You are very confident. However, wearing men's clothes also messed with the Nangong family?"

He knew it so soon?Qin Luoyan was stunned for a moment, but then he was relieved. As King Wuxuan, it seemed normal to be so well-informed.

"My lord asked someone to provoke the Wei family and the Nangong family. I just added fuel to the flames. I don't think I'm causing trouble. I'm doing it for the lord's benefit." When Qin Luoyan was speaking, he took the initiative to sit on his chair. In her arms, she wrapped her hands around his neck and blew into his ears coquettishly.

Maybe it was her initiative that satisfied him once again, so he wrapped his arms around her back, "It seems that you are smarter than this king thinks, why do you think that this king is someone who provokes discord?"

"My lord, you even sent Muhe, how can I not see it?" When Qin Luoyan spoke, she had already stretched her hand along the hem of his clothes, with a smile on her face, but a sneer in her heart, Having said so much, isn't he here to vent his anger?She knows, so she would rather he achieve his goal earlier and leave earlier.
