142 Returning to the old business
Ouyang Qianhu of the Shenji Battalion died in the explosion of the fire gun, which was an accident. Xu Miaoyi counted the mother-killing enemies who died in her hands, and it appeared that she died in an "accident", so she still secretly visited Ouyang's family, everything was normal, and the Ouyang family had no children who suddenly disappeared or got property of unknown origin. There is no coercion, no exchange of interests.
Lord Ouyang's eldest son inherited his father's official position, and he was still on an errand in the Shenji Battalion, and his son inherited his father's business. The imperial court has appeased the descendants of the deceased, why is there only the descendants of Luan Feng and Li Mengeng?
Xu Miaoyi was puzzled, and simply went to Song Xiuer's rouge shop. Before entering the door, I heard Song Xiu'er speak angrily, "...... Thanks to me helping you redeem yourself, change yourself to a good name, and give you enough silver taels to settle down and start a business, but you are willing to fall into depravity, take the money we gave you to buy a house, and secretly do such a dirty deed! ”
A woman said softly: "Aren't I here to repay your silver today, a total of one hundred and sixty taels, plus ten taels of interest, Boss Song will point a little." ”
It was the voice of the bright moon.
Whoa!
Song Xiu'er was furious, and threw the silver ingots on the counter to the ground with her sleeves, "Phew, who wants your dirty silver?" Take it back and feed it to the dogs. ”
Mingyue was not in a hurry or annoyed, and still said with a pleasant face: "Boss Song, this has been said. If you think my money is dirty, why did you still do my business before? ”
Song Xiu'er roared angrily: "In the past, you were in the Qinglou, and you were forced by the old bustard to laugh on the door, you came to me to buy rouge gouache, how could I drive the business out?" But now you are willing to degenerate, and you don't do good people, you buy a serious family's house and open a bookstore! Who doesn't know what a book apartment is in this Jinling City? It's just a secret prostitute who recruits rich guests in the name of elegance! What can you do not earn a living, you have to go back to your old business and laugh! ”
Song Xiu'er drove Mingyue out like a fly, "Take your dirty silver roll, don't let me see you again!" ”
Mingyue lowered her head and said, "Boss Song, I grew up in the Qinglou since I was a child, and I don't know anything else except for laughing." Besides, my face beckons trouble, all men in the world are lucky, and they have not lived a stable life when they marry anyone, maybe they will be deceived by others, and they will follow in the footsteps of Du Shi Niang's angry sinking treasure chest. ”
"A big family can protect me, but it's impossible for a serious family to accept a woman who used to be an Oiran lady as a wife. I am not willing to be a concubine, so I have no way out except to return to my old business. ”
Song Xiu'er sneered: "According to what you said, the only way for a good woman in the world to go back to her old business and be willing to fall into depravity is to go?" Excuses, all excuses, you are greedy for money, you like to play the life of the world, who can you show if you pretend to be pitiful? I'm not your guest. ”
Mingyue said: "Okay, since Boss Song looks down on me, I won't come to the rouge shop in the future, so I will say goodbye." ”
Song Xiu'er stomped her feet angrily, "Wait, take this silver away, don't dirty my ground." ”
Mingyue gave a salute and said, "This silver was originally given by you and your benefactor, but now it has been returned to its original owner." ”
After that, Mingyue turned around and left, just in front of Xu Miaoyi at the door, and suddenly froze in place, "En-benefactor." ”
Xu Miaoyi wore men's clothes as long as she went out, she frowned and said: "Mingyue, you once sacrificed yourself to save me in Jiushan Mountain, and you escaped after nine deaths, I will set you free, help you wash the lead flower, start again, and repay the kindness with kindness, it is all deserved, and I don't expect you to return anything." You grew up in the mud, but your nature is not bad. Mingyue, close the book and start again. It's not too late to make amends. I didn't think it through before, but I didn't expect the embarrassment of your face. As long as you are willing to turn back, I can shelter you for the rest of your life. ”
Hearing this, Mingyue's heart beat wildly.
Song Xiu'er hurriedly said, "Why are you still talking for her?" She's just greedy, and there's no cure for it. ”
Xu Miaoyi looked at Mingyue fixedly, "People will go astray and make mistakes, you deserve my forgiveness and a second chance." ”
Mingyue felt that at this time, the soul had been split in half, and half of the soul said that the benefactor was so righteous, I shouldn't disappoint him; The other half of the soul said coldly, do you want to live your life by the mercy of your benefactor? Joining Jinyiwei as a spy and opening a book to inquire about information is the only chance you can stand side by side with your benefactor, and even protect him secretly......
Song Xiuer's attitude is more pessimistic, "Being a man is not like cooking, the rice is boiled, and then a pot is boiled, being a person is not authentic, and it is too difficult to change it for the better!" ”
Mingyue stiffly bowed, "Thank you two for your help, I take my leave." ”
The moment the two □□ wrong at the door of the shop, Xu Miaoyi grabbed Mingyue's wrist, "If you make a mistake again, it will be difficult to turn back." ”
Mingyue felt that there was fire burning on her wrist, she struggled hard, Xu Miaoyi was a martial artist, her hand was firmly grasping her wrist like an iron tong, and she couldn't get rid of it.
Mingyue said in a low voice: "Benefactor, I am not willing to live this life, everyone has their own ambitions, please let it go, if you hold me again, you will call someone." Presumably, the benefactor disdains to do these things that bully men and women. ”
Xu Miaoyi had no choice but to let go.
Mingyue fled back to the sedan chair waiting outside the door in embarrassment, "Get up the sedan chair and go back to the study." ”
Song Xiu'er has a knife mouth and a tofu heart, seeing that Mingyue insists on taking the old road, she is really sad about her misfortune, angry at her depravity, and pounds the door frame and says: "I'm really blind, I thought she was a good girl at the beginning." ”
Luan Hachiro, the account room of the rouge shop, who had been watching coldly, squatted down and silently picked up the silver ingots rolling on the ground.
A five-tael silver ingot was just next to Song Xiu'er's embroidered shoes, Song Xiu'er immediately shrank her feet, left the ingot, and said: "Balang, you will return the silver to the study later, I don't want this dirty money." ”
Luan Hachiro nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Xu Miaoyi said: "Don't send it, if you send it over, Mingyue will still send someone to send it back, it's boring to push it around." Wait until the winter arrives, buy some food, give alms, and do good. ”
Song Xiu'er thought for a while and said, "That's the same, anyway, I don't think it's dirty to hold this silver, so I just donate it to do good." ”
Luan Balang put away the silver taels and continued to settle the accounts. Song Xiu'er served tea to Xu Miaoyi, "Sister, don't be angry, it's not a person on the same road, let her go." ”
Looking at Song Xiu'er's bright smile, Xu Miaoyi's depressed mood improved slightly, took a sip of the teacup, and said with a smile: "You still persuade me, the person who was angry just now was obviously you." ”
Song Xiuer said: "I'm a rectum, I don't care about everything, and when I get angry, I'm gone, and I still live my little life." I'm afraid that my sister will be angry with this Mingyue who doesn't know what to do. ”
Xu Miaoyi said: "After all, she saved me, if she comes to you in desperation in the future, you can help, I always feel that she is not the kind of hopeless person......"
Jinling Shuyu, commonly known as half-opened. The heads of the households are all good families, but they are privately engaged in the leather and meat business. There are even some eunuchs whose families have died of men who have established a household, and it is not uncommon for the housewife to personally take her daughters and daughters-in-law to do business in order to maintain a luxurious life.
The women in the book are more dignified than the women in the Qinglou, and on the surface they are no different from ordinary ladies, and the guests are commensurate with the ladies, like secular couples, and the maids who serve also call the guests masters or aunts. On weekdays, he recites poems against each other, adds fragrance to his red sleeves, is gentle and elegant, and does not do frivolous things such as singing and dancing.
The book apartment perfectly satisfies the man's fantasy that his wife is a noblewoman in the guest hall and a/woman on the couch. Therefore, it is quite popular, if you talk about selling the gold cave, the green building is not as good as the book.
Mingyue's book is in a grange outside the city, away from the hustle and bustle of the Qinglou of the Qinhuai River, it is very clean, there are bamboo forest thatched huts, pavilions and pavilions, it is late autumn at this time, all kinds of chrysanthemums are in full bloom, picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely see Nanshan, quite elegant, the book is only opened, there are officials here to hold a chrysanthemum poetry meeting, the chrysanthemum platform is staggered, the pen and ink are flying, it is very lively.
As soon as Mingyue came back, someone came to urge, "Master Mao is here." ”
Mingyue went to the bamboo forest to see Mao Xiang, the autumn wind was whisking, the bamboo leaves had turned yellow and fallen off, and the backlog was thick and rustling, as if walking in the snow.
Mao Xiang asked, "I heard that you went to the rouge shop to pay back the money?" ”
Mingyue said expressionlessly: "Yes, I also gave an additional ten taels of silver interest." Eating people is soft-mouthed and short-handed, and I don't want to owe favors. ”
Mao Xiang nodded, "You have done a good job, as an agent of Jinyiwei, you are the most taboo to owe favors, and it is easy to shake your mind in the future." ”
Mingyue said: "The grievance should be settled when it is time to settle, and dragging mud and water is not good for each other." ”
This sentence came to Mao Xiang's heart, he had a good impression of Song Xiuer, and even had the idea of asking for marriage, and secretly bought the jewelry she liked, but Song Xiuer was too partial to Xu Miaoyi, and Mao Xiang was only loyal to Emperor Hongwu all his life. The two of them are on the left, and it is impossible to change for each other, only to become more and more estranged.
After weighing the two phases, Mao Xiang resolutely threw the jewelry into the Qinhuai River and cut off the relationship. The pro-soldier Captain's Mansion was disbanded, Mao Xiang established Jinyiwei, Song Xiuer had nothing to do with him, and the two were not far from being strangers.
Does it hurt? It hurts.
But Mao Xiang did not regret it, but had a sense of relief, because he wanted to make a knife for Emperor Hongwu, and a good knife should not have feelings, the master swung there, he should cut there, mercilessly.
Mao Xiang has a pair of discerning eyes, and feels that judging from Mingyue's clean cut off of the relationship with Xu Miaoyi, it can be seen that she also has the potential to make a good knife.
A sharp knife should be as ruthless as Mingyue and never waver.
Mao Xiao said: "Song Xiu'er has a straightforward temper, you touched a gray nose." ”
Mingyue said: "Fortunately, if you are afraid of being scolded by others, you can't do this business." Boss Song is jealous and hateful, I won't go to the rouge shop to dislike people in the future. Master Mao, I happened to meet a benefactor today. ”
Mao Xiang: "Oh? How did she say it? ”
Mingyue's hand hidden in her sleeve shook suddenly, and said, "Persuade me to turn back." Said he was willing to give me another chance. ”
Mao Xiang: "Are you tempted?" ”
Mingyue: "I was tempted for a moment, but when I thought about it, it was boring to be an ordinary woman who made people snort for a lifetime in the future, and I was unwilling, so I still had a future in following Master Mao." Everyone has their own aspirations, I want to take the Qingyun Road, and I am willing to play for Jinyiwei. ”
Mao Xiang: "What's the news of Shuyu recently?" ”
Mingyue said: "An adult from the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War said at the banquet that the Duke of Wei asked him to immediately transfer the commanders of the two guards to the capital, and I don't know what the purpose is. ”
Mao Xiang said: "Very good. Wei Guogong has been making frequent moves recently, apparently for the sake of his daughter. ”
"Daughter?" Mingyue asked, "Wei Guogong has several daughters, is he for that?" ”
Mao Xiang glanced at her, "Of course it's the eldest daughter Xu Miaoyi, that is, your benefactor, she was raised by Wei Guogong as half a son, and she has always shown people in men's clothes." ”
Originally...... It's a girl! Mingyue suddenly froze in the flying bamboo leaves. 166 Reading Network
