Ma Yunlu fell into extreme chagrin at this time, and obviously said that he would only drink the most glass, why was a bag of wine gone?

Glancing at Hu Yu, and then at Youjie with a puzzled expression, Ma Yunlu coughed lightly, and returned to a serious expression on his face to hide his embarrassment.

Quietly put the wine bag into the small wooden plate next to Youjie, Ma Yunlu asked casually: "Do you know which son-in-law Hu had a conflict with last night?"

Youjie hesitated, she didn't know what Ma Yunlu's purpose was when she asked about this matter, although Ma Yunlu was the boss of Lin Youlou and the person they geisha needed to rely on, but she didn't know why, Youjie put everything about Hu Yu in front of Ma Yunlu, before she was not sure of Ma Yunlu's intentions, she was subconsciously unwilling to tell Ma Yunlu what she knew, she was afraid of causing trouble to Hu Yu.

Youjie was still holding the teacup with both hands, staring at Ma Yunlu motionless with his eyes, and said with a confused face: "Back to the owner, the concubine doesn't understand what the conflict is talking about, Hu Gongzi and several sons drank and had fun here last night, and they didn't have a conflict with anyone?"

Ma Yunlu finally took the teacup in Youjie's hand, put it to his mouth and blew a breath of hot air, shook his head and said, "I really don't know?"

Youjie said affirmatively: "The concubines really don't know, mothers often teach us to be quick with eyes and sweet mouths, and ears to be always smart, so as to win the favor of the guest officials." ”

"Hahaha, it's a good time to be ineffective. ”

Ma Yunlu laughed loudly, then took a sip of the hot tea in his hand, put the teacup on the table, and said to Youjie: "Yes, you are quite good, when Steward Zhao comes, I will inform him to let you be a foreman." ”

Youjie's eyes widened in disbelief, looking at Ma Yunlu who still had a smile on his face, he hurriedly bent down and kowtowed, and said loudly gratefully: "Thank you for your great kindness." ”

The foreman in Lin Youlou is also a role like the old bustard, but he has a considerable right to speak in Lin Youlou, and he has become a foreman, not only can he get out of the sea of suffering, no longer serve visitors, but also can extract a commission from the geisha under his hands, if his vision is good enough to recruit some outstanding geisha, just the daily commission is a lot of money.

Take Youjie as an example, if you are booked by a guest for a night, the price is thirty taels of silver, of which Ma Yunlu has to take half of it, her foreman has to take away ten taels of silver, and in the end she is only five taels of silver, which is the sorrow of being a lowest-level geisha, before she has saved enough silver taels to redeem herself, she can only let the foreman and Qinglou exploit her.

Of course, after the redemption, it will be out of this exploitation system, and the geisha after the redemption is free, but they can also continue to stay in the Qinglou to pick up customers, at that time, the price of the geisha to pick up customers is to agree with the owner of the Qinglou to share, and the foreman can't strip the geisha's body, but just rely on the geisha's hard work to save money, when can he redeem himself for himself?

Therefore, Ma Yunlu's words at this time changed the fate of Youjie's life, freed her from the sea of suffering, and filled her life with hope.

Ma Yunlu waved his hand casually, and said nonchalantly: "Okay, there's nothing for you here, just pack up and go down." ”

At this time, Youjie still couldn't believe what happened, and glanced at Ma Yunlu with some puzzlement, he just handed the boss a cup of hot tea, and then lied to her, and then changed from a grass chicken to a phoenix.

Thinking about things in his heart, the movements of Youjie's hand slowed down.

All this fell in Ma Yunlu's eyes, although Youjie was only a little slower, but Ma Yunlu, who was old and sophisticated, didn't know what Youjie was thinking, so he added another cup of tea to himself, and said lightly: "You are promoted to be the foreman because you like your affection, righteousness and responsibility, don't think about it, just remember these words." ”

Affectionate, righteous and responsible?

Youjie kept chewing on this sentence, which is a simple evaluation, and it is also a not so simple evaluation.

It is said that it is simple because people often evaluate others like this, and in most cases, when they evaluate others like this, they are just perfunctory to others, and it is not simple because Ma Yunlu at this time sincerely thinks that Youjie is such a person, so she will be promoted to be the foreman.

Peeking at Hu Yu who was still lying on the table, Youjie knew that his luck today was inseparable from him, and Youjie also understood what it was to be affectionate, righteous and responsible, so he accelerated the movements in his hand, and after cleaning up the entire terrace briefly, he quietly withdrew from the terrace.

It didn't take long for Youjie to return to the terrace again, the whole person had changed significantly compared to before, she was originally dressed in a satin dress at this time, covering her tender skin under the splendor, and the makeup on her face also changed, no longer enchanting and charming, but plain and plain.

Youjie bowed to Ma Yunlu and said very respectfully: "The owner, it's cold in the early morning, and it's easy to get cold when sitting on the terrace, the concubine is ready to go to the room, and the hot water has been placed, and the owner and Hu Gongzi are invited to move." ”

Ma Yunlu's eyes showed an appreciative look, and his performance greatly exceeded his expectations, this woman is not only affectionate, righteous and responsible, but also extremely cautious, in a short period of time, she made the most correct choice, it seems that she will be blessed in the future.

Ma Yunlu turned his head to look at Hu Yu again, with a satisfied smile on his face, he thought that Youjie was not worthy of Hu Yu because of his bad background, but now it seems that the situation is very different, judging from Youjie's current performance, it is quite scheming, as long as she is well controlled, she should be able to help Hu Yu a lot, in this case, it is not impossible to make an outer room for Hu Yu.

"Okay, be careful, and help him to his room to rest. Ma Yunlu waved his hand and motioned for Youjie to take care of Hu Yu.

In fact, just when Youjie left, Ma Yunlu once again checked Hu Yu's pulse, at this time the injuries in Hu Yu's body have basically healed, except for the dantian is still broken, the eight veins of the Qi Jing have all been renewed, and those mysterious vitality are all gathered in the dantian, completely wrapping the broken dantian, and it is slowly repairing.

And repairing the dantian is just a matter of time, it is no longer like last night, it will be easily blocked by external forces, so Ma Yunlu does not need to protect Hu Yu anymore, as Youjie said, it is cold in the early morning, and it is easy to get cold, although the monk's body is much stronger than that of ordinary people, but since Hu Yu is no longer in trouble at this time, why stay here to suffer, it is better to let him go to the room, not only has a warm bath and is soft, but also accompanied by a beauty, why not do it.

Youjie bowed slightly, walked to Hu Yu's side, carefully put Hu Yu's arm on his shoulder, and then hugged Hu Yu with one hand, and grabbed Hu Yu's arm with the other, and resisted Hu Yu to his body.

Ma Yunlu on the side just looked at everything Youjie did with a smile, neither made a sound, nor stepped forward to help, as if he didn't exist, let Youjie be tired and sweaty, and walked out of the curtain with Hu Yu and disappeared on the terrace.

On the empty terrace, Ma Yunlu said to himself alone: "Nephew, this can be regarded as compensation for my drink of your bag of wine, such a beauty, if I am thirty or fifty years younger, I will inevitably not be moved." ”

......

The red glow dissipated, the fiery sun hung high in the sky, and even in the early morning, the heat of summer alone made people listless and drowsy.

Above the court, the ministers in the room ignored the scorching climate, and they were all red-faced, and they were fighting for no other reason, it was after the opening of the court today, Liu An broke the routine of being started by the ministers, but announced the holy decree at the beginning, and the court meeting today only discussed one thing, that is, the establishment of the standing army.

Regarding the establishment of a standing army, whether it was at the court meeting or after the meeting, Liu An summoned the ministers separately, and they had discussed it many times, but no unified opinion was reached.

Maybe it's because Liu An has completely lost his patience, or some ministers are too pedantic and anger Liu An, after the opening of the dynasty today, Liu An said that the standing army must be established, and this matter will no longer be discussed, and today it is necessary to set the issue of the establishment of the standing army, from the commander of the unified army to the ordinary soldiers, all of them must be sealed and sealed, and if this matter is not resolved, it will not be decided today.

The reason why they oppose the establishment of the standing army is not because their own butts are not very clean, and they are afraid of being caught by the standing army, but looking at Liu An's momentum today, if he dares to oppose again, I am afraid that it will not be a matter of being caught, but will directly lose the official hat on his head, and may even directly lose the head of Xiang Shang, which is based on the standing army under Liu An's high-pressure momentum.

Although Liu An forcibly established a standing army, the ministers in the palace held their own opinions and quarreled about various matters of the standing army, so the current picture like a vegetable market was formed.
