Xuannv Heart Sutra 2

Chapter 57 The way of being an official, the way of being a man (2)

In the study room, Chen Qing and Wu Mengde were sitting together, each of them was thinking about their own plans, they never thought that a farce of flower picking thieves would become so complicated now. What happened to Chen Qing's second daughter?The two are not very clear.

Wu Mengde didn't care much about whether the Second Miss of the Chen family was still an innocent daughter, what he cared about was Li Yulong's thoughts, did Li Yulong really have any thoughts about the second Miss of the Chen family?If there is, then he has to find a way to facilitate this matter, and try to leave a good impression on Li Yulong as much as possible. If this rare opportunity cannot be grasped well, he will be in the East Factory for nothing. It's time, if it was in normal time, it would be very rare for him to see the bosses in the factory. The spies like them who have been sent down to the local level, to put it bluntly, can only be regarded as peripheral members in the factory , the opportunity is right in front of him, if he just missed it for nothing, he probably won't be able to forgive himself, let alone whether Li Yulong is the boss of Dongchang?Just because Li Yulong was able to get the token that Wei Zhongxian never gave away, Wu Mengde knew that Li Yulong's identity was not simple, at least he was Wei Zhongxian's absolute confidant, so he had to curry favor and try to find a shortcut from Li Yulong to be transferred back to the capital. Therefore, Wu Mengde looked at Chen Qing in a strange way.

What about Chen Qing!On the contrary, he was concerned about whether his second daughter's body was still innocent?If so, the second daughter entered the palace to serve the emperor at the end of the year, and if he can get the emperor's appreciation, then he can jump into the dragon's gate directly. If not, it seems that it is not a big bad thing for him. Just to mention, he also knows that Li Yulong's identity is not as simple as he imagined. Maybe the second daughter will follow Li Yulong after thinking about this. There is a smile on Chen Qing's old face, and his wife really gave birth to a good daughter for him. !It seems that from today onwards, I should treat my wife well, otherwise, once my second daughter becomes a phoenix, it may be very unfavorable to me.

"Brother Chen, I think your face is full of red now! Brother Chen's wife really gave birth to a good daughter for you! The second young lady is naturally intelligent, and it seems that she has been inherited from Brother Chen. She is beautiful and natural, and so is Mrs. The credit is indispensable! It's a pity that I only knew how to practice martial arts in my early years, and I didn't have time to find a woman to give birth to a son and a half daughter for me, otherwise, I would never let Brother Chen be beautiful." Wu Mengde shook his head, as if I really regret that I didn't know how to cherish when I was young.

"That's, that's, Wu Er is handsome and unrestrained. If there are descendants, it will definitely be a suave man and a beautiful woman!"

"Let's not talk too much about being polite. Brother Chen, I want to ask you something for my brother. I think you know the woman next to the big stall. I don't know which family the woman is from?"

"Thousands of gold?" Chen Qing was slightly taken aback, and said: "If the lower officials read correctly, she is Miss Qiuyun, the number one geisha in the county."

"The number one geisha in Huamanlou? Brother Chen, you can't see it wrong, right?" Wu Mengde asked in surprise.

"It can't be wrong, it can't be wrong. When the officials finish their business, they will occasionally go to listen to ditties when they have time. Miss Qiuyun, the officials have met a few times, no I will admit my mistake." Chen Qing said in embarrassment, after all, it is not allowed for the imperial court to order an official to go to a brothel.

"Don't worry! Brother Chen, it's nothing to worry about, man! Who has three wives and four concubines at home, and is a romantic and happy person outside. It seems that Brother Chen's heart is not old, so I am envious of brother! Brother can't do it I am old, I have lost interest in women. If I could go back ten years, my brother would definitely do like Brother Chen. Everyone is a man. This is completely understandable. Don't worry! This area, brother It’s being managed for my brother, so there won’t be any problems.”

"Thank you, sir Wu." Chen Qing wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand, he just made a big mistake when he was happy for a while, how can the matter of going to a brothel be put on the table?What does Dongchang do?They have not been sent to monitor officials from all over the country.

"You're welcome, Brother Chen, I see that you slept through the night last night, let's go to rest now! At noon, we will invite that one together." Wu Mengde got what he wanted from Chen Qing's mouth. After knowing things, I can't sit still.

"Second stall Wu was busy all night last night with the family affairs of the lower official. I see, the second stall Wu should also go to rest! When lunch is ready at noon, the second official will call Wu second in person. your head."

"No, brother Chen, I still have some personal matters to deal with, and I will be back on time at noon." Wu Mengde passed by Chen Qing's side, and patted Chen Qing's shoulder three times meaningfully, and then, Stepping slowly out of the study.

After Wu Mengde left the study, Chen Qing drank a few sips of tea to refresh himself, and then left the study to arrange for his servants to prepare lunch. How could he sleep now!If he didn't fully understand what happened last night, he wouldn't feel at ease for a moment, which could affect his wealth and life.

After Wu Mengde left the study, he immediately found his subordinates, wrote a letter with his own hands, and asked his subordinates to rush to Dadu to meet Wei Zhongxian. With no one following behind him, he cautiously came to the back door of Huamanlou.

"Second gear, shall we knock on the door or"

"Climb over the wall and go in. Go and find me the bustard. I have some private matters to look for her." After finishing speaking, Wu Mengde lightly tapped his feet on the ground, leaped over the wall and landed in Huamanlou. It was quiet, and it seemed that the women who were used to nightlife were still resting. After Wu Mengde landed, the other four spies also climbed over the wall and entered Huamanlou.

"Remember, don't startle the others, I just need to see the bustard here, go!" Wu Mengde waved to his subordinates, and the four spies swept into Huamanlou, but Wu Mengde walked slowly. He walked slowly into the hall, found a chair and sat down on his own.

Soon, the poor bustard was directly pinched by a spy. Seeing the rude subordinates, Wu Mengde frowned slightly, and signaled his subordinates to put the bustard down and go outside to guard.

"My lord, don't you know what's the matter with the servant's house? We are an official prostitute house approved by the imperial court, and we never dare to do illegal things." The vicious old bustard saw at a glance that the man in front of him was a member of the imperial court. To be more precise, they are people from the East Factory. Although these people have entered the East Factory, their practices in the world have not changed at all.

"Sorry! My subordinates have offended me so much. Now I want to ask you something. Where is the leading geisha in the building, Miss Qiuyun? You bring her out and show me."

When the old bustard heard that someone said she wanted to see Qiuyun, her face suddenly changed. The man who took Qiuyun to the Chen residence last night has not returned yet. She originally wanted to send someone to the Chen residence to ask for him, but she was afraid of taking the liberty of it. Going to the Chen Mansion would cause Chen Qing to misunderstand, so she had to give up. Seeing that the sky was already bright and Qiu Yun hadn’t returned at night, she was preparing to take someone to the Chen Mansion to ask for someone in person, but how did she know that it hadn’t started yet? As soon as he took action, someone came to Qiu Yun's door. Could it be that the man yesterday was a wanted criminal by the court?Thinking of this, the old bustard's body trembled non-stop, and at the same time, he was also worried about Qiuyun.

The old bustard's legs softened, and she knelt down on the ground, crying, "My lord, my daughter was taken out of the building last night by a man in his twenties, who said she was going to Mr. Chen's house to help catch the flower picker. The slave family also knows that the daughter is an official prostitute and cannot leave the building, but that person and that person"

Wu Mengde interrupted the procuress with a wave of his hand, and said: "Okay, I don't mean to hold you accountable, now tell me about Miss Qiuyun's appearance, be careful, otherwise I will let Chen Qing give you Huamanlou Seized."

"Yes! Yes, my lord, my daughter Qiuyun is 19 years old, she has a melon face." The old bustard told Wu Mengde about Qiuyun's appearance carefully, and after finishing speaking, he still did not forget to say: "My lord, you But you must be the master of the slave family! My daughter is the number one geisha in the building, if something happens, the slave family's Hua Man Lou will not be able to open the door for business."

"Get up!" Wu Mengde knew that the woman who followed Li Yulong last night was indeed Qiuyun, the number one geisha in Huamanlou, but he didn't understand why that person didn't bring any woman to Chen's residence, but insisted on bringing one Geisha go, don't you?
