Chapter 052: The Lady Buys Tricks
After breakfast the next day, Xie Fuya said goodbye to her family and left the Pony Mansion in a carriage with her maidservant.
After the carriage drove up the main street, Xie Fuya instructed the coachman to drive the carriage to Tongkuer Lane at the South City Gate.
Tongkuan is a famous fireworks place in Beijing, and it is really scary to hear that the master is going to that kind of place!
"What is grandma going to do in that kind of place?" Rushi whispered, "If others know, I'm afraid it's ......."
Xie Fuya chuckled, "It's good that the people in the whole capital know......!
About a quarter of an hour later, Xie Fuya's carriage entered Tongkuaner Lane, and the coachman found someone to ask where Piaoxiangshu was, and after getting the place, he hurried over.
There are often carriages coming in and out of Tongkuan Alley, but those who get off the carriages are gentlemen, and it is the first time I have seen a young and beautiful woman here!
The faΓ§ade in this alley is not big, or on the lintel, or on the wall next to the courtyard gate, there will be a plaque.
Xie Fuya got out of the carriage and glanced at the plaque hanging next to the door-Piaoxiang Library.
"That's a good word. Shefuya chuckled.
I don't know which one came to look for flowers and ask the willow "genius" left the ink treasure.
Xie Fuya asked the coachman to come forward and knock on the door, and if he asked inside, he would say that it was from Chengyibo's house.
The coachman knocked on the door twice, and the voice of the boy asked who it was. The coachman reported the name of Chengyi Bofu according to Shefya's teaching.
The people in the yard didn't open the door immediately, and there was no movement quietly!
"Grandma, this?" Rushi looked at her master.
At this time, because a woman entered Tongkuaner Lane, it attracted a lot of people to watch the excitement, and several mothers who also made a living in the book opened the door and looked out.
"Oh, second master, you're here!" came the voice of a woman in the courtyard of Piaoxiang Study, and the courtyard door was also opened from the inside. "Second Master Cai, you can let us ...... Oriole ...... Oriole ...... Who are you?"
The mother of Piaoxiang Shuyu heard the little boy at the door running to inform her in the inner courtyard that there was someone from Chengyibo's Mansion calling the door outside the door, she thought it was Cai Erye coming, so she rushed out to greet her!
Xie Fuya glanced at Rushi.
Rushi said, "Is there a girl named Li'er in your yard?"
The mother's surname is Ding, Ding's mother looked Xie Fuya up and down a few times, and then looked behind Xie Fuya, and after making sure that she only brought a maid and a coachman, and there was no stout mother-in-law, she was a little relieved.
"Yes, yes, but I don't know this ...... Which grandmother is Grandma from Chengyi Uncle's Mansion?" Ding's mother asked with seven points of respect and three points of defense.
In fact, this is knowingly asked! The one who often comes to Piaoxiang Shuyu is Cai Erye of Chengyibo's Mansion, and it is naturally Cai Er/Grandma who can find the door!
"Our grandmother is the second / grandmother of Chengyi Bofu, and I am here to redeem your Li'er girl. "Rushi doesn't talk nonsense, just talk about things.
"What...... What?" Ding's mother didn't believe her ears!
The first time I heard that the eldest lady of the family had come to the book apartment to ransom the prostitute! Even if she had such a plan, at most she would send a steward or a servant to run errands!
Xie Fuya smiled and waved her hand at Rushi. Rushi turned around and opened the wooden box held by the little girl Ruchun, and inside was a thick pile of silver tickets!
Ding's mother's eyes lit up, her face smiled with folds, and her attitude was immediately "very" respectful!
"It turned out to be Cai Er/Grandma! I have long heard that you are virtuous and generous, benevolent and ......"
"Okay, don't shoot the sycophants, tell me how much the ransom money is for your Li'er girl, right?" Xie Fuya interrupted Ding's mother in a faint voice.
In the past half a month, Cai Chengshan has not come to Piaoxiang Shuyu to look for Li'er, and Ding's mother has made a lot of money for drinks and rewards!
Ding's mother was thinking about letting Li'er catch up with another financial owner, but Li'er's girl had true feelings for Cai Erye, and refused to welcome other men! Ding's mother scolded her a few times, but Li'er just washed her face with tears and didn't make a sound, and she was in a hurry to commit suicide!
The girls in this book are different from the prostitutes in the brothel/house, the girls in the book are all the mothers who have bothered to adjust/teach since childhood, and their talents and etiquette are not inferior to those official ladies, so as to hook men who are willing to spend a lot of money for pastime. Li'er is a newcomer who has just come out to pick up customers for less than a year, if something really happens, Ding's mother will lose a lot!
Now Cai Er/grandma has come to redeem people, which is to solve Ding's mother's headache!
"Why don't you invite Er/Grandma in?" Ding's mother got out of the door, wanting to invite Xie Fuya in.
"Ridiculous! What kind of pickled place are you, how can our grandmother go in? Just tell me the price!" Rushi scolded Ding's mother with a calm face.
Ding's mother snorted coldly in her heart, but she laughed on the road, "What the girl said is that the slave family is not thoughtful." β
Ding's mother rolled her eyes, raised five fingers and flipped over, "Five thousand taels of silver." β
When Xie Fuya heard this, she was almost happy! This bustard woman really dares to open her mouth.
"One thousand taels. Shefya said.
"Oh, that's not good!" Ding's mother shook her head like a bully, "Two/Grandma, you don't know how much effort I put into trying to tune/teach my oriole! In the past few years, she has chewed more than 1,000 taels of silver!"
"That's two thousand taels. Xie Fuya added a thousand taels unhurriedly.
"Two/Grandma, it's not that the slave family is greedy for money, it's really ...... you to give this ransom money"
"Two thousand five hundred taels, I won't publish any more articles. Xie Fuya said coldly, "And let me tell you, Cai Chengshan will not come back in the future." Hurry up and find a home for your valuable girl. β
After saying that, Xie Fuya turned around and was about to get into the carriage.
"Wait...... Please wait!" Ding's mother chased after her, "Two thousand five is two thousand five!
Xie Fuya didn't look back, and got into the carriage with a laugh.
Rushi stopped Ding's mother and said, "Later, a small sedan chair will come to pick up Miss Li'er, you should quickly clean up for her." β
After speaking, Rushi took out five silver tickets from the wooden box and handed them to Ding's mother.
Ding's mother happily took the silver ticket and looked at it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, she rolled it up and stuffed it into her sleeve.
"Girl, please tell the second/grandmother, please rest assured that the slave family will definitely dress up and wait for the li'er. Ding's mother said.
Rushi nodded, turned around and got into the carriage.
As soon as Xie Fuya's carriage left, Ding's mother happily went into the courtyard.
In front of the Piaoxiang Library, this "business" that was just a cup of tea was heard and looked at by the neighbors, and they were all surprised! I am afraid that they can talk about it for several days.
After Xie Fuya left Tongkuaner Lane, she entered a teahouse and asked the coachman to rent a sedan chair to pick up people from Piaoxiang Library.
