Ninth Grade Jailer: He actually went on a blind date with the leader of the Demon Cult at the beginn

"It will never be like this, it will never be like this... Xiaoqian once promised me! She promised to stay with me for the rest of her life. I want to see Xiaoqian! Don't stop me!"

the young scholar shouted hysterically.

He never believed that Xiaoqian, whom he loved deeply, could be such a heartless and unjust person!

Could it be that the previous flowers and the moon and the eternal vows were all fake?

He doesn't believe it!

He could feel Xiaoqian's sincerity.

Xiaoqian is willing to be a good person and stay with him for the rest of her life.

However, the scholar's roar did not attract anyone's sympathy. On the contrary, the onlookers who gathered around looked at him with gloating eyes.

As the saying goes, an actor is ruthless and a bitch is unrighteous. Do you take the words of a brothel girl seriously?

That means you are too naive!

Scholar, scholar, you are really stupid in reading.

"Poor scoundrel, I want you to know that it was Miss Xiaoqian who asked us to drive you away. We don't care outside, but if you dare to step into Qingluan Pavilion again, watch your legs!"

Turtle Gong glared fiercely and waved his hands impatiently.

Even though he is just a servant, beating a dog also depends on the owner. His background is such that even the county magistrate would bow his head when he saw it.

He has met many dignitaries. A small promotion is really nothing in his eyes.

In fact, he usually didn't ask about this kind of thing, but the main pillar of Qingluan Pavilion, Qingluan Oiran, was poached by Zui Feng Pavilion opposite. As a last resort, they had to push Xiao Qian up.

This is also the case in the world.

Unexpectedly, the Zuifeng Tower was smashed by the soldiers the day before. They thought it was in decline. From now on, the Qingluan Pavilion family will be the only one. However, the day after, the Qingluan Pavilion was sent to Zuifeng. building……

In this case, of course Xiaoqian cannot fall in love with a poor scholar who barely passed the provincial examination. That would be too low-grade.

This is Jiangnan!

It is the most prosperous Yingtian Mansion in Dayin!

There are as many scholars as dogs.

A small person can indeed be called "Master" in front of ordinary people.

But in this land of fireworks, it is really hard to see a person with no background or money.

What's more, Xiaoqian is now their highly recommended courtesan! I don’t know how many talented gentlemen want to be her guests!

A stinky scholar still wants to redeem Xiaoqian's life?

Even if they collect a thousand taels, the big boss will definitely not let them get what they want.

Who will sell the money tree at a low price?

The third floor of Qingluan Pavilion.

Looking through the window sill, Xiaoqian, who has been promoted to a big pillar, flashed a trace of unbearability in her beautiful eyes, but soon she became determined.

The big boss is now trying to support her. If she misses this golden opportunity, she will regret it for the rest of her life.

Lover and fame, it is indeed difficult to choose...

She also knew Zheng Shengzhi's affection for her very well.

But……

She has been used to a life of being served by others and having fine clothes and fine food. If she were to have a simple meal again, she would really not be willing to do so!

What's more, her ransom money was a full thousand taels. In the three years since she left the cabinet, she had only saved three hundred taels, which was still less than half.

How could the Master of the Zheng family come up with such a large sum of redemption money?

Even if it could be taken out, it would definitely leave the family destitute and heavily in debt.

Then if she gets married, won't she have to suffer a lifetime of chaff?

so……

It’s not that she is cruel to be a betrayer, but she is forced by life!

"Xiaohuan, help me get...one hundred taels of silver."

Xiao Qian bit her teeth and made a difficult decision.

"Miss, what's the use of the money? You don't want to give it to Mr. Zheng, do you?"

The maid looked wary.

This money was saved by the young lady's hard work, but she saw it all.

"Hey! After all, I was the one who failed him. Let's take this money as compensation for him over the years. Spring will be here in two months, so let's treat it as his expenses for going to Beijing to take the exam."

Xiaoqian sighed with her crimson lips.

The relationship over the years cannot be broken off easily.

After all, her conscience was not completely gone, and she really couldn't bear to see Zheng Shengzhi in such a state of despair.

The maid was very concerned and pouted and said: "But miss, you have saved this with great effort over the years!"

"I am now the chief oiran of Qingluan Pavilion, and I am still worried that I won't be able to make any money? Give it to Mr. Zheng quickly, but be careful and give it to him when there is no one around. He will save his face."

Xiaoqian gave an instruction and handed the key to her small bank to her personal maid.

"oh!"

How could the maid disobey the young lady's order, so she had to go down to get the money gloomily.

on the street……

Zheng Shengzhi got up from the ground in despair. He patted the dust off his body, straightened his clothes, looked deeply at Qingluan Pavilion, and then turned and left.

As for the joking looks from passers-by on the street, he didn't care.

What he cared about was his true devotion to this relationship, but it resulted in such a heartless ending.

perhaps……

This relationship was wrong from the beginning.

Think about it too.

He is not even from a humble family! As for Xiaoqian, she had come into contact with either wealthy scholars or high-ranking officials, so how could she fall in love with such a poor scholar like him?

Why.

The old parents at home worked hard from sunrise to sunset, working so hard for him to study. It would be better for him not to make progress and go to a brothel!

Thinking of his parents' old faces and full of hope, Zheng Shengzhi felt ashamed.

"Mr. Zheng, please stay..."

at the corner.

Xiaohuan ran over panting, carrying a rather heavy burden, and called Zheng Shengzhi.

Zheng Shengzhi looked back in shock and saw that it was Miss Xiaohuan, as if he had been possessed by an evil spirit, and all the guilt that had flashed in his mind disappeared.

He said excitedly: "Xiaohuan? Tell me, is Xiaoqian willing to see me? I knew those people who stopped me just now were lying to me! Xiaoqian will never be a heartless woman!"

It’s really another village where everything is bright and clear.

pity.

This village is not his final destination.

Xiaohuan stepped forward, handed the baggage to Zheng Shengzhi, and said with a complicated expression: "Master, it's not convenient for the lady to talk to you. The lady asked me to give this baggage to you, and there is a letter from her in it. You can take care of yourself... "

After saying that, Xiaohuan turned and left.

It would be embarrassing to stay any longer!

Zheng Shengzhi's mind was all on the baggage at this time, so he naturally didn't care about Xiaohuan anymore.

His hands were shaking slightly.

He took a deep breath and unpacked the bag.

Twenty is a big silver snowflake, which is particularly dazzling under the moonlight. A full one hundred taels!

Zheng Shengzhi didn't care much about the money, and his eyes soon fell on a letter.

On it are written the words "Mr. Zheng's personal greeting".

He is naturally very familiar with Xiaoqian's handwriting. Moreover, Xiaoqian's body fragrance still remains on the letterhead.

He opened the letter excitedly, but when his eyes fell, the corners of his mouth suddenly froze.

The hope that was finally built up was once again dashed.

…

It is better to forget each other than to meet each other in the rivers and lakes...

good!

very good!

He laughed at himself.

Scenes from the past flashed through my mind.

No matter how deep the alliance is, no matter how long it lasts, it cannot withstand the betrayal of time.

"You are smiling so miserably. Are you being rejected?"

At this time, Li Nuo's voice floated faintly.

Under the moonlight, Li Nuo's outline gradually became clearer, walking towards Zheng Shengzhi step by step.

Zheng Shengzhi was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and hurriedly bowed and said, "Student Zheng Shengzhi has met the prince and grand master."

He used the official title of "Prince and Grand Master" instead of the title of "Gong Wu'an". He regarded Li Nuo as a senior scholar, so he called himself a "student".

Li Nuo was a little surprised.

After all, the Jiangnan scholars did not have a favorable impression of him.

He smiled and said: "The feeling of falling out of love is not pleasant."

"Ahem, Mr. Li, please stop making fun of Xiaosheng."

Zheng Shengzhi smiled bitterly.

If someone else was rubbing salt into the wound like this, he would have fought back long ago, but in front of him was the world-famous Li Zian, whose hands were stained with blood and filled the Xuanwu Lake. No matter how arrogant he was, he could only give in.

And, there’s no shame in that either.

"A man has achieved fame on his own merit list, so why worry about not having red sleeves by his side to add fragrance?"

Li Nuo teased, "In two months' time, the imperial court will open the imperial examination to recruit scholars. If you can be named on the gold medal list and become a high school scholar, Miss Xiaoqian will regret it to death."

As far as the imperial court was concerned, those who passed the provincial examination were just candidates to fill the post, but if they could pass the jinshi examination, even if they were from the same jinshi class as the top three, they would be able to get a job as a county magistrate at worst.

This is the serious parent official, the Qingtian Grand Master in the eyes of ordinary people, and his power is not small!

Zheng Shengzhi looked embarrassed.

He also wanted to be named on the gold medal list, but he didn't have enough literary talent. Being able to pass the exam was already a sign of merit from his ancestors. As for Chunwei, he really didn't dare to have any illusions.

Qiluo stepped forward, looked at Zheng Shengzhi with wide eyes, and mocked disdainfully: "A seven-foot-tall good man, who doesn't care about fame, is unfilial to his parents, but still loves the woman from the brothel, are you worthy of being a son of a man?"

Zheng Shengzhi was wondering where this girl came from, with such sharp teeth and sharp mouth, but after seeing Qiluo's face clearly, he couldn't help but froze.

"What are you looking at? Look again, do you believe that this heroine dug out your dog's eyes and fed them to the bastard?"

Qiluo glared fiercely!

She already looked down on such a coward. If her uncle had not insisted on coming, she would not have come.

Zheng Shengzhi felt a little anxious, and bowed his head and said: "Zheng Shengzhi, do you dare to ask the girl what her name is?"

"My name is Qiluo. Let me tell you, don't try to take advantage of me. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless with the sword."

Qiluo patted the soft sword on her waist with dissatisfaction.

She was very confused, how could her uncle fall in love with such a coward? Such a "chance encounter" was also arranged for this purpose.

Zheng Shengzhi directly ignored Qiluo's threat, and he hurriedly asked: "Dare you ask Miss Qiluo how old she is!"

"You're so rude, you scoundrel!"

Qiluo was furious and directly showed his soft sword.

Under the moonlight, the sword god felt chilly.

Zheng Shengzhi couldn't withstand Qiluo's momentum and took several steps back.

He quickly waved his hand: "Don't get me wrong, Xiaosheng has a sister who disappeared more than ten years ago..."

"Okay, okay, it's not convenient to talk here. You still have a lot of money with you. Why don't we go home and have a good chat."

Li Nuo came out to smooth things over and said with a meaningful smile, "Why, don't you welcome me, the crown prince and grand master, to your home?"

"If the Crown Prince and Grand Master could visit the student's humble residence, it would be a great success. The student would sweep up the bed and wait for me!"

Zheng Shengzhi couldn't believe it.

If the crown prince and grand master could really visit his humble residence, it would be like smoke rising from the ancestral graves of his Zheng family.

"Then why don't you hurry up and lead the way."

Li Nuo released his kindness.

Half an hour later...

The three of them came to a slightly remote neighborhood in the south of the city.

"Master Li, please forgive me for the humble residence of the students. Sir, please..."

Zheng Shengzhi used the key to open the somewhat decaying door, with a ashamed smile on his face.

A humble house indeed.

Of course, in Yingtian Mansion, where there is so much money and so much land, it is already great to have a house of your own.

When the old parents at home saw their son coming back with two guests, they immediately came out to greet him with smiles on their faces.

"Shengzhi, a guest is coming, please come in quickly."

The old woman hurriedly said, "Honey, what are you doing here? Go and boil some water. Also, go to the back room and get the tea cakes I have collected."

"Mom, there's no need to be so polite. Let's just sit down and leave."

Li Nuo's attitude was very cordial.

Even a little too kind.

This also gave Zheng Shengzhi the feeling that a scholar would die for his confidant.

Of course he had many classmates and friends in college, but he had never been so polite to his parents.

And the prince and grand master in front of him was a very popular minister. He had just won a victory and defended Yingtian Mansion, Duke Wu An!

But he showed no airs to his parents!

The old woman was about to speak, but after seeing Qiluo's face clearly, she was momentarily stunned.

Qiluo also looked at the woman in front of him and felt a little incredible.

She and the woman look very similar!

Li Nuo was not surprised when he saw this.

When the students and gentry attacked the government office before, in addition to arresting the initiators and giving them a beating, he also immediately asked Qingfeng Tower to find out the details of these people.

And when Qingfeng Tower reported Zheng Shengzhi's details - his parents' names, appearance and detailed information, Li Nuo had a vague guess.

I originally planned to go to Zheng Shengzhi's house after I deal with the Jia people, but I didn't know that today was such a coincidence, so it would be better to choose a different day.

Although Qiluo is not ready yet...

But sometimes, surprise is the greatest happiness.

Ever since Qiluo told her story, Li Nuo had kept this in mind.

He won't miss any clue.

Hard work pays off. Didn't Zheng Shengzhi find a clue?

"G-girl...what's your name?"

The woman was a little excited.

Qiluo's attitude towards women will naturally not be so bad.

She hurriedly said: "Hello, aunt, my name is Qiluo. How does your appearance match mine..."

The woman trembled and said: "Miss Qiluo, can you let me see your right arm?"

Qiluo nodded and raised his arm.

The sleeves slipped down, revealing her arms as white as lotus roots, and on her elbows, a pink crescent moon birthmark came into view.

The woman's breathing was rapid and her legs were weak with excitement. If it were not for the tight support of her husband beside her, she would have fainted from happiness.

Of course, her husband was not much better at this time, with tears already welling up in his eyes.

See this.

Li Nuo was very pleased.

Sure enough!

Qiluo is the daughter of this old couple and Zheng Shengzhi's biological sister.

This can be considered a family reunion!

Although, this reunion came a little late, and it came a little untimely...
