60. Zhang Rui
Zhenshu scolded in his heart: What's the use of saying this frustrating thing now, why didn't you think you would get pregnant when you hugged each other?
It's just that when I suddenly remembered that I was in Wuling Mountain, I never thought about whether I would get pregnant. Of course, if the woman is the prey, she is lucky to escape the beast trap, but Zhen Yuan is bitten by the beast trap, and no one is much more noble than the other.
Thinking of this, he persuaded again: "No matter what, you have to ask Zhang Rui to come to our house to have an interview with your father, and then ask his brother and sister-in-law and someone with face in the Hou Mansion to come and settle the matter, and then my father and I will draw some money from the shop to you, send you to the outside world to hide for a year and a half, and then come back after giving birth to a child." β
Zhenyuan nodded and said, "It's still my sister's thoughtfulness." I'm two years older than you, and I don't know what to do when I encounter these things. β
Zhenshu patted her on the shoulder and said, "No matter what, Zhang Rui must go to the shop tomorrow to discuss this matter with his father." β
Early the next morning, Zhenshu personally wrote a letter for Zhenyuan, sealed it and asked an apprentice to send it to Zhangfu, and then went out to wait in the framing shop. Because of the good business in the Song family's framing shop now, and gradually has some fame, many of Song Anrong's old friends, or some attainments in calligraphy or can hang the pen and art, all have to go upstairs to the book two lines and drink some tea with some fruit, and now Song Anrong is very busy all day long.
Early today, there is an old man Zheng Zhensheng, a second-class jinshi who has been Xuanyou for three years, is going to come to the arts, Song Anrong is a lighter grade, and he is still his protΓ©gΓ©, waiting at the door early to help him down from the board car and bring him upstairs, personally take a knife for him to cut the square, cut the banner, and make tea with hot water, and talk about some calligraphy and painting with this Zheng Lao. Zhenshu was sitting in the small counter outside, hearing the hearty laughter upstairs, knowing that Song Anrong must be in a very good mood today, and I don't know if Zhang Rui will be able to hold on to it when he comes to talk about it in a while.
She was thinking nonsense, Zhen Yi ran out and said, "Second sister, my mother told you to go upstairs in the backyard." β
Zhenshu went in and called Zhao He to come out to guard, and went upstairs from the inner courtyard, and saw Su and Zhenyuan both sitting outside. Originally, she was just hiding it from her, but now even she knows it, and she simply opens up. Su Shi spread his hands and said: "Fang Cai Zhang Rui sent a letter, saying that not only can he not come today, but I am afraid that he will not be able to come in the next few days, he is now about to worship a governor to enter the teacher's door, not only can he not come, but also told me to remember to prepare two thousand taels of Yu as a ceremony to see the teacher, and tomorrow he will ask his little guy named Mingyue to come and get it in person." β
Zhen Shu slapped the table angrily and said, "It's shameless! β
Zhen Yuan also said: "Since he is like this, I don't count on him anymore, my mother rented a house in the countryside for me, and I went to live and die." β
Su Shi said: "He may really want to worship a good teacher, after all, the governor is the chief examiner, and he has let go of all the students within the top three, and his protΓ©gΓ© is naturally better." β
Zhenshu said: "If this is the case, why don't you come out of the mother of the two thousand taels of silver?" β
Su Shi turned his head and said, "Where did I get this money?" However, if he is admitted to a Jinshi and becomes an official in the future, his parents and wives can be feuded, and a five-grade respectful person is always indispensable to Zhenyuan. β
Zhenshu stared at Su Shi tightly, seeing that she didn't dare to look at herself, her eyes looked away, and she knew in her heart that this Zhang Rui had promised Su Shi a five-grade flattering position, no wonder she would rest assured that Zhenyuan's piece of fat would be sent to Zhang Rui's dog's mouth.
The women in this room were crying and crying, and Zhenshu no longer bothered with them, went downstairs to call all the elementary school apprentices, and went to Zhang Rui's house in Huazhi Lane. When he arrived at the door of Zhang Rui's house, Zhenshu sent an apprentice named Hua'er to go up to call the door, and asked Zhang Rui if he was there, and it happened to be the lady of Zhang Rui's second brother's family who came to open the door, with a slender waist and a pair of hanging eyes, glanced at Zhenshu, and saw that it was a tall, thin, thin-eyed and delicate young lady, glared and said, "What are you looking for Zhang Rui?" β
Zhen Shu bowed and said: "He ordered a good calligraphy and painting and now it has been framed, the silver has been paid, but this painting is still in the hands of the little girl, please ask the eldest lady to make it convenient, tell me where he is, I heard that he is in urgent need of this painting today, I am afraid that he will be drunk there and forget to take it." β
The second brother's lady in that chapter looked at Zhen Shuyan's Kenche, and she really held a scroll in her hand, which really seemed to be a painting. Then he pointed to the other side and said: "He has climbed a high branch now, and he has the money to go to the world to get drunk, and if you ask someone to look for him there, he will be able to find it." β
The intoxicating world is on the East Market, a century-old store, and the first card held out inside does not know how much. It turned out that he took the body money given by the Su family and didn't hand it over, but spent it in the gold cave. Zhenshu secretly bit a bite of silver teeth and thanked him, and took a few small people straight to the drunken world. When she arrived at the gate, she was about to rush in when she saw the door plaque, and suddenly a few turtle men from there suddenly stopped her and asked loudly: "Little lady, what are you doing here?" β
The brothel does not allow women from good families to go upstairs, and they are afraid that some jealous ladies will come here to make trouble and make trouble, and their faces will be ugly.
Zhenshu took a scroll and bowed his head and said, "There is a guest with the surname Zhang who ordered a fine calligraphy and painting in our shop, saying that it is a great gift to pay homage to the governor and enter the teacher's door. At the beginning, he said that he would apprentice to the master today, and asked me to send it early this morning. As for the little girl, it is the shopkeeper of the Song family's framing shop in the left-hand alley at the east end of the street, although she has never seen it, but she is doing business on the same street, and please make it convenient. β
The two turtles looked at each other and let go of their hands, and also shook their heads slightly: "It turned out to be Song Xiao's shopkeeper, and he has been looking up for a long time." It's just that our place is filthy, and it shouldn't be a place for the little shopkeeper to go up for the sake of honor. β
Zhenshu didn't insist, he stood sideways and put the painting behind him and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, please ask the two of you to go upstairs and call that Zhang Gongzi down, I'll wait here." β
The two turtles looked at each other, and the guests had a long room here to hold prostitutes, and they naturally didn't know what they were doing at this point, but they couldn't go up and disturb them. The two hesitated for a moment, and one of them stretched out his hand and asked: "Song Xiao's shopkeeper also has some reputation on the street, and we don't dare to take it as an idle woman, since it is a business matter, please go up and discuss with him yourself, he is in the fifth private room on the left hand on the third floor." β
Zhenshu still hugged his fists and thanked him, and several apprentices wanted to follow, but the two of them hurriedly stopped: "Little brothers, please wait below." β
Zhenshu also knew that they were afraid that they would bring their apprentices up to make trouble, so he looked back at them and said, "You guys are waiting here, and I'll come down in a while." β
She went upstairs with the picture scroll, and the smell of old fat and old powder in this building made her almost nauseous. She went up to the second floor first, and saw that the red silk and pink tent curtain inside was hazy, although there were no people on either side of the long corridor, but there would always be a few or two low hums and soft moans from time to time, and there was a sense of liver trembling.
There are three people in the courtyard inside the drunken world, and the first person who lives upstairs is the worst prostitute in this building. Because some people are young and beautiful, they all live in a single house in the backyard.
Zhenshu went up to the third floor and counted from the room on the left. Because there was a small door in the middle of the two doors in the row, she didn't know whether to count five rooms according to this gate or five rooms according to the small door, and hesitated in front of the two doors for a long time, and was afraid that she would knock on the door and startle the strange wild mandarin duck, so she listened to a door to see if she could hear Zhang Rui's voice.
There seemed to be many men in this room, and the voice of talking inside, Zhenshu sounded a little familiar, but it didn't look like Zhang Rui. She was frowning as she listened, when the small door opened, and a hand pulled her inside. Zhenshu subconsciously broke that hand, but he also instantly realized that this was Yu Yichen.
No one but him would have such cold hands.
She followed him into the house. This is about a small room where the girls send water and wash, although it is cramped inside, but there are also baths and other things. Inside, there are two more doors leading to the left and right rooms.
Yu Yichen stood on the door with his hands in his hands, the door was half-opened, and the voices of the people inside were very clear.
A man said: "The eunuch is eunuch, a rootless person, who is in charge of the Gyeonggi Prison and the Inspectorate, and now he is also a general of Wuwei, even if it is a fait accompli, I heard that now the Holy Lord will also seal him as the deputy envoy of the ** festival." The lack of military power in the general command of a country is now led by Du Wu, if the deputy envoy asks this eunuch to lead, what face does a man of a country have to go back and face his wife and children? β
There was more than one man in the room. Another person answered: "Since there is no tail in front of you, you can hold your ass and wash your feet and polish the mirror for the ladies in that big house." He still has the face to stand in the court and insult my master's face, Tong can't bear it. β
Zhenshu gasped and said in his heart: How can there be Tong Qisheng?
She knew that these people were scolding Yu Yichen, so she turned her head sideways to look at his face, and saw that there was no sadness or joy on his face, so she still stood there listening with her hands down.
At this time, it was Zhang Rui who answered, and he said: "Although we are not more than some students, we have twelve points in the heart of serving the country and the heart of traitors." As long as the master gives an order, Zhang will sneak to the Jade Mansion tomorrow to get his head of Yu Yichen. β
Or is it their master, it is probably that Wang Shenzhi snorted coldly and said, "How is it easy to enter the Jade Mansion?" Some of my colleagues have never come out alive who have been caught in his house. I heard that there was no main house in his yard, obviously knowing that he had no roots and could not live in the main house, and he was also ashamed in his heart. He has a room, and there are eighteen kinds of torture instruments in the door, and some strange lantern figurines burned there on the wall, all of which are people who have been tortured to death, with vivid expressions and extreme expressions, and some people can't walk in front of him, so they are frightened and pee their pants, as for his torture room, no one has ever come out alive, and Wang doesn't know what it looks like. But he is definitely not a eunuch who can be killed lightly. β
