Chapter 526 Strange Case

There are songs, songs and dances.

The spring breeze is slightly smoky, and the spring is warm.

The women in the room were all veterans and were used to reading people's faces.

A few people here, although the two big ones are very imposing, but it is obvious that this son from the north is the one who pays for it, and the rest of the people still have a look on their faces, you dare to come up and Lao Tzu instigated you to death, so they didn't have much to do, and only talked around Gu Xinyue.

Gu Xinyue hugged Chunying on the left and the flute girl on the right, guessing with the other two dancers who were no longer dancing, and chatting with a few people casually while taking the food that Yuan Zisu had fed.

(Qin Qi and Qin Mohan also wanted to feed, but thinking that the picture was too terrifying, they forcibly held back, thinking that they must beat Xu San half to death before relieving their anger)

The topic of several people talked about the scenery from the food in Yangzhou, and asked about the allusions to the scenery, and unconsciously, they talked about the recent interesting things in Yangzhou.

This restaurant is a place where people come and go, and people who eat will not care about these plaything-like singers, and sometimes they will say something for fun.

Chunying and a few people heard a lot of things in their ears.

Seeing that a wife and concubine in a salt merchant surnamed Liu were fighting for wealth, Gu Xinyue laughed so much that she directly smashed out a silver ingot, and then let it go, saying what was interesting.

Speaking of later, he has gone from the private interests of the rich and wealthy families of the salt merchants, to the recent redemption of the Oiran of Wanchun Lou by the Yangzhou prefect.

Qin Mohan sank into his mind when he said this, and slowly sipped the tea, just like Qin Qi, looking at the ground and listening to it word for word in his ears.

"In the past two days, the biggest thing is nothing more than the Wang family." was robbed of the limelight by others, Chunying was very unwilling, her eyes rolled, and she smiled when she remembered something.

When she said this, several people next to her stopped talking, and one of them glanced at Chunying with dissatisfaction.

Let Chunying unconsciously pause in her voice.

Gu Xinyue's eyelids jumped, and she pretended to be confused and said, "What's the matter?" Say, say it, the little master is happy, this reward you. ”

As he spoke, he took out a silver bracelet inlaid with precious stones from his sleeve.

Chunying immediately smiled: "The Wang family is also a famous merchant in our Yangzhou City, and later became a salt merchant, and this family is even more wealthy, I heard that even the toilet is made of gold." It's a pity that people have a life, the Wang family has made a lot of money, but the children and grandchildren are not prosperous, this generation is only a son and two daughters, one of whom is still a concubine. ”

Chunying's voice paused again, and seeing that Gu Xinyue was very interested, she continued: "This concubine married the son of the He family in Huai'an three years ago, the He family is a big salt merchant in Huai'an, and the family is also very rich. ”

Pursing her lips and smiling, Chun Ying said, "Gongzi He is still a frequent visitor here." ”

"You regulars here?" Gu Xinyue smiled and said, "I heard that this He Gongzi likes Yangzhou thin horses, and he has raised a lot of them on the boat." ”

Chunying's face stiffened slightly, and said, "That, Gongzi He often comes to eat with us, in fact, if Gongzi likes it, then the thin horse ......"

"Well, you go on saying, what can I get Coke?" Gu Xinyue interrupted her with a smile.

Although she was indeed curious about what the thin horse looked like, but now that she was just listening to a song, the two of them had faces as black as ink, if she went to find the thin horse, she could be sure that Qin Qi would run away with her as soon as he was ready.

"Yes, yes." Chunying glanced at her resentfully, and said: "The former son He Gongzi came to Yangzhou again, but he heard that he had a strange disease, and his whole body was itchy, so he did not live in his own house, but lived in Wang's house, and it happened that one day, the eldest girl of Wangfu also returned home, that night, the Wang family made a fuss, early in the morning, the eldest girl of Wangfu committed suicide by hanging the beam, leaving a blood letter, saying that he was stolen into the boudoir and forcibly humiliated, and it was really shameless to live. ”

"This is in Wang's Mansion, how can He Gongzi be allowed to break in?" Gu Xin said curiously.

Although it is a merchant, the Wang family is so wealthy, there must be a lot of people in the family, and there should be maids in the eldest girl's room, how can he Gongzi succeed?

"Childe doesn't know." The dancer next to her said disdainfully: "Although this He Gongzi is from Huai'an, he has a very good relationship with Li Ye in Yangzhou, that day, he was sick with that Li Ye's subordinates, saying that the Wang family has a good doctor, so he specially brought someone to borrow it, and treated the disease by the way, that Li Ye's subordinates are a person from the rivers and lakes, and no matter how many people there are around Miss Wang, it can't be prevented." ”

Chunying glared at the dancing girl, and hurriedly said: "Moreover, after I heard that there was an accident, then He Gongzi and Li Ye's subordinates disappeared, and the Wang family was ready to press this matter, but as a result, Miss Wang committed suicide, Master Wang couldn't help it, in order not to let people slander Miss Wang at will, he poked out everything and reported it to the government, and now, the government has issued an arrest warrant to arrest those two people." ”

"Pity the Wang family, I'm afraid that the family will be ruined." The woman who had been playing the pipa silently stopped her hand, picked up the tea bowl next to her and took a sip, and sighed almost unnoticed.

Her voice was too low, Gu Xinyue didn't hear it clearly, and asked, "What did you say?" ”

"What else does Childe want to hear?" The woman smiled and looked up.

"Childe, you've almost eaten, didn't you still make an appointment with Brother Tang to go on a night trip? Why don't you go back and rest? Qin Qi smiled lightly and glanced at the woman silently.

Gu Xinyue was slightly stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Yes, thank you sisters, next time, I will invite you sisters to come and play." ”

As soon as she said this, even Chunying didn't say much, only Yingying got up, took the bracelet thrown by Gu Xinyue, and walked out of the door with a smile.

Only the pipa girl was still in the room, standing at the table with her eyes lowered and holding the pipa.

Gu Xinyue looked at her curiously.

"Childe, the rules of the store, the little girls perform, and the guests give money directly, generally, it is fifty dollars per person, if there is a reward, it is to yourself." The pipa girl is neither humble nor arrogant.

Gu Xinyue patted her head.

Yes, except for this pipa girl who has been playing, the rest of the people have come up to tell the story, and she has a reward of as little as one tael or as much as five taels, but she has not received anything.

Hurriedly took out a piece of broken silver from his sleeve.

Before his hand was stretched out, Qin Qi had already put a silver ingot of five taels on the table, and said with a light smile: "Why is the family ruined?" ”

The pipa girl raised her eyes and glanced at him, glanced at the door again, and said in a low voice: "Master Li is a tyrant in Yangzhou, and the prefect of Yangzhou only has a one-year term this year. ”

As he spoke, he bowed, took the broken silver from Gu Xinyue's hand, turned around and left.

After walking a few steps, his footsteps paused slightly, and he said in a lower voice: "If the guests just want to play in Yangzhou, these things should be a joke, and after a few days, the case of Wangfu will be changed." ”

It doesn't take a few days.

On the second day, Gu Xinyue and his party walked around the street for a day, and also swam in the Slender West Lake, and when they drank tea in the restaurant outside the inn in the evening, they heard the discussion of others.

It is said that it is the case of Wang Fu, and the statement has completely changed.

said yes, the eldest girl of the Wang family has always had a crush on He Gongzi, but she was robbed by her sister, and she was unwilling, so she took advantage of He Gongzi's opportunity in the house to deceive He Gongzi into the house.
