The two talked very happily, and unconsciously walked out of the temple gate, but Mei Niang's feet were three inches of golden lotus, and she couldn't walk the mountain road, so Ling Yun carried her down the mountain, because she absorbed the domineering aura, and Mei Niang's body was as light as a cloud, and she didn't feel heavy all the way down the mountain.

When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, Ling Yun remembered that he had ridden a tall horse and handed it to a boy to look at, and gave him a tael of silver, but it was late, and there was no one around, so I was afraid that the boy would not wait for a long time, and he had already taken the horse away, so in desperation, he had to hire a donkey cart and wander back to the city.

The donkey cart had no roof, and two people sat on the frame, and the coachman drove the way to the street of the city, attracting the curious eyes of passers-by.

Donkey carts are not unusual, the coachman is dressed in coarse clothes, and it is not uncommon to whip the donkey, and even Ling Yun, who is dressed in gorgeous splendid clothes, is not uncommon to sit on the donkey cart.

The most peculiar thing is that a charming little lady, wearing a wide monk's robe, can hardly hide her beautiful face and graceful figure, the most peculiar thing is that this little lady actually sat on the donkey cart, facing countless strange eyes, calmly, not like ordinary small women, ashamed to cover her face or dodge around, but laughing and talking with Ling Yun.

The donkey cart stopped in front of Wanxian Tower, and someone had already reported this strange news to the old bustard and the turtle father, the old bustard Bao Niang was whipped by Ziruo's subordinates, and had already recuperated almost, and I heard that the Oiran lady was back, and even the tea bowl in her hand almost fell, trembling and trembling was helped out by the eldest nephew of the turtle father, to meet the top brand Oiran on the donkey cart.

The inside and outside of Wanxian Building are full of people watching the excitement, chattering and discussing.

One said: "I heard that the Oiran of this Wanxian Building has been lost for more than a few months, and they all said that they ran away with a little white face, and they didn't expect to come back today." ”

Another said: "It's worthy of an Oiran lady, wearing a monk's robe, and she is so seductive, if you change into a woman's clothes, how charming you must be!"

One person rushed and said: "You don't understand this, wearing a monk's robe is called the temptation of monk's clothes, and it has a different taste." In other words, the unattractive man next to her is the little white face who kidnapped her, and he is not as handsome as me. ”

Another said: "I'm not as good as Pan An, I believe that I'm still much more handsome than you." ”

......

Ling Yun ignored everyone's onlookers and discussions, hugged Mei Niang, dispersed the onlookers, made a way, and walked to Wanxian Tower.

The old bustard downstairs burst into tears and shouted, "My girl, my cash cow...... No, no, no, my little poor boy, you're back!"

Although Mei Niang hated the old bustard for forcing her to sell herself, after all, she was raised by her since she was a child, and she never beat and scolded herself, and she was like an adoptive mother. ”

"But I suffered, my son. The old bustard was half distressed, half pleased, stroked Mei Niang's face, looked at her increasingly thin figure, and shouted: "Cook, quickly make me the best shark fin bird's nest abalone soup, I want to make up for my son." ”

Immediately, Ling Yun, who was following behind her, appeared in her eyes, the old bustard thought that this was the little white face who hooked up with Mei Niang, and lost thousands of taels of silver, and was angry, and when he saw the man's face clearly, he was surprised: "Engong is you?"

The old bustard Baoniang clearly remembered that night, he was almost beaten to death by Zi Ruo's order with a whip, and later if it wasn't for Ling Yun to come forward and intercede for himself, I am afraid that he would have become a ghost under the whip, so he has always been grateful, and even placed a sign of Engong next to the statue of Guan Gong, burning incense every day.

The reason why this old bustard Baoniang can do a great business is not only because she has a flexible brain and is good at calculation, but more importantly, she is different from other prostitutes, and she always retains a little benevolence in her heart.

For Ling Yun's kindness, she always kept it in her heart, and never forgot it, and when she saw it today, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Engong, I can be regarded as seeing you, please accept the slave family." ”

Ling Yun was accustomed to hearing Mei Niang's "slave family", and at this moment he saw the old bustard calling himself a slave family, the two tastes were very different, one was soft in his ears, and the other couldn't bear to listen, so he hurriedly helped her up.

"Mom, you don't know, this benevolent man rescued me from the tiger's den, otherwise you can only collect my body. Mei Niang hugged the old bustard, and several people came to the inner hall of Wanxian Tower, and whispered about their imprisonment by the prostitute monk.

The old bustard turned back to the turtle and said, "Nephew, you go and get a thousand taels...... Oh no, 10,000 taels of silver, to this benefactor, who not only saved my life, but also saved my son, and I want to thank him well. "The old bustard knows that the Oiran is coming back this time, and the city is a sensation, I am afraid that it will not be a problem to earn tens of thousands of taels, it can be said that he has saved the declining Wanxian Building, re-established his own signboard, and gave Lingyun as much silver as it is worth.

Gui Gong wanted to take the silver in response, but Ling Yun waved his hand and said, "No need to take it, give this 10,000 taels directly to Mei Niang, just let her help me take care of it." ”

The old bustard hesitated for a moment, but had to agree, and asked, "Engong, are you planning to redeem Mei Niang?"

Mei Niang's eyes also showed a little expectation.

"This, it's up to her to decide, if she wants to redeem herself, it's just tens of thousands of taels, I'll take it. Ling Yun took out a wad of 30,000 taels of silver tickets from his arms, which he had deceived from the prefect and put them on the table.

Mei Niang regretted in her heart: "Even if it is a redemption, it will only cost a few thousand taels at most, wouldn't these 30,000 taels hurt him, how could this fool take out so much silver at once, and he didn't bargain." ”

So, Mei Niang picked up the silver ticket, stuffed it back into Ling Yun's arms, and said, "I don't need you to redeem myself, one day I don't want to do it, I will redeem myself, I don't need you to pity me." ”

Ling Yun couldn't guess her true thoughts, and the second monk was confused, wanting to do good deeds made her feel pitied and turned away.

The old bustard has a mirror in her heart, she is reluctant to Mei Niang's cash cow, but if someone pays tens of thousands of taels of silver, it is worth it, so she smiled slightly and said: "I have long felt that Mei Niang is so old now, I should think about it for the future, otherwise I will be old, like me, old and decrepit, no one will not say it, and it is difficult to have children, so I plan not to let Mei Niang go to the sea again." ”

Mei Niang was stunned for a moment and said, "Mom, if I don't go to the sea, what else can I do?"

"Silly girl, of course, I will let you be good, so tomorrow I will tell the whole city, if anyone is willing to bid to redeem you, the one with the highest price can take you away, and live a stable life from now on, enjoy the pleasure of a good woman, and don't have to be inexhaustible in this green building. The old bustard said.

Mei Niang opened her mouth slightly, wanting to say something, but finally closed her lips and didn't say anything.

"Isn't this an auction?" Ling Yun said with a smile, "You'd better set a screening criterion first, for example, it must be a young man in his twenties and thirties, otherwise if an old man buys Mei Niang, won't he lose the rest of her life, and she must also be able to see her appearance, and her reputation can't be too bad, etc." ”

The old bustard nodded yes and said, "Engong is thoughtful, these have to be carefully calculated, otherwise Congliang will meet bad people, but let my Mei Niang suffer out of thin air." She had already decided in her heart that Ling Yun would definitely come forward to redeem Mei Niang, and the price of tens of thousands of taels was unmatched, so that she could not only make a fortune, but also not hinder the good things of the two, which can be described as the best of both worlds.
