Chapter Seventy-Seven: Absurdity

50,000 times!

50,000 kan pack an oiran!

"Do you know how much 50,000 guan is?"

"A university scholar only earns 100,000 guan a month, and the total amount of a month's worth of Manchu officials is no more than 40,000."

"Hahaha, if you say so, the officials of this Manchu Dynasty don't make as much as an official prostitute."

Listening to the roar of the hall, several old men sitting on the second floor shook their heads.

"Ridiculous, ridiculous." They said.

Before the words fell, there was another commotion outside, and everyone hurriedly looked to see people running around on the street.

"What's wrong?" Everyone asked.

"Come and see, the Cheng family went to Desheng Building to ask for money!"

The Cheng family went to Desheng Building to ask for money!

As soon as these words came out, the people on the street were in an uproar.

"It's really strange that there are many things every year, especially this year."

The people in the tea shop sighed, and immediately rushed out to follow to see the excitement.

"Ridiculous, ridiculous." Several old men on the second floor shook their heads again.

"Ridiculous!"

At this time, in the Desheng Building, Mrs. Mo also shouted this sentence.

"I've never heard of prostitution and you can go back!"

"You're lying!" Several women shouted with red faces.

I didn't expect it to attract so many onlookers, and the confidence that was aroused because of 50,000 was dispersed at this moment.

It's really strange, if they stay in their hometown, for example, when the Fire Temple will grab a position, they have a lot of trouble with the people of the county Cheng family, and there were a lot of onlookers at that time, why don't they feel timid but more confident?

Is it because of the pleasant official words in the people around us at this time? Or is it because the woman in front of her at this time is dressed enchantingly. I can't tell the age. Every move is like something I've never seen before.

The women only felt uncomfortable.

Mo Niangzi on the other side covered her mouth and smiled when she heard this.

"Wrong." She said. "We're not cheating, we're selling."

The meaning of this word was so profound that the men around him laughed, and the women turned their heads sideways.

"Big lady, this thing is indeed ridiculous." Steward Cheng had to stand up, "It's my lady and son-in-law messing around, don't take it seriously, and ask the eldest lady to return the money." ”

Coming back?

Mo Niangzi sneered in her heart.

"It's a joke. After enjoying this, you can still get the money back. She said.

"Haven't you enjoyed it yet?" The butler gritted his teeth and glared.

"Our daughters are good-looking, as long as they look at it, they enjoy it, they just gouge out their eyes, and you have to pay for it." Mo Niangzi said with a smile.

"Then I didn't spend 50,000 yuan to enjoy this!" The butler also shouted anxiously.

Mo Niangzi snorted.

"Then I have to ask your son-in-law and wife, I only know, if you come to us to play, you can play, if you can't play, don't come." "I haven't slept and enjoyed it today." Tomorrow I regret coming to ask for money. ”

The more he spoke, the more explicit he became, and the laughter around him grew louder and louder. There were more and more onlookers, and Steward Cheng couldn't talk anymore.

This woman is too tricky!

They were looking for her and whispered in private, but they didn't expect this woman to give them a chance as soon as she came, so they shouted in the hall!

It's really...

"Hurry up, hurry up." Steward Cheng shouted in a low voice.

He took a few women in a car and went in a panic amid laughter.

"Tell your family Langjun that my daughter is waiting for him." Mo Niangzi shouted in the back, laughing while thinking of something, "But don't worry, Cheng Langjun injured his hand, come back when he is well raised, we are waiting for this month, this month is not money." ”

This caused another round of laughter.

"You're crazy! Go and ask the old bustard of Na Desheng Lou for money! ”

In the courtyard of the Cheng family's house, when he heard the housekeeper's reply, the second master Cheng was furious.

"Isn't it enough to be ashamed?"

Second Mrs. Cheng sat and wiped away her tears.

"I'm just crazy!" She shouted, "Fifty thousand guan is thrown, who is not crazy!" ”

Speaking of which, he grabbed Second Master Cheng again.

"You're not in Dali Temple, quickly arrest all the traitors in Nadeshenglou and get the money back."

Second Master Cheng shook her off angrily.

"Is it about money now? Now is a matter of fate and future! He said, "You only saw 50,000 guan, don't you see who they provoked this time?" ”

"It's the Gao family!"

Second Master Cheng paced back and forth, angry.

"Yes, is this a joke in our family, is it just a joke in our family? That high-ranking official has become a joke! ”

"Who's that? It's a high-ranking official! That's the Gao family! ”

Such a shameful thing is still because of an official prostitute, who can't get rid of high-ranking officials in this life, and no one can swallow this breath! ”

Second Mrs. Cheng couldn't care about crying, and looked up at him, yes, it was the Gao family.

"Master, it doesn't matter what happens to you, it's those two bastards who are causing trouble." She hurriedly said, "Go and make it clear to the senior officials!" ”

Second Master Cheng's face was gloomy.

"If you don't listen to your mother, you will be in trouble." He said, "This broom star is really tired of me everywhere and our Cheng family." ”

Speaking of this, he raised his eyebrows again.

"Did you bring anyone back?"

"Master, the Zhou family won't let you bring..."The attendant outside the door said timidly, "Beat us all out." ”

Cheng Er was furious and raised his feet and stepped forward.

"It's against his Zhou family, why doesn't my daughter let me take it! I'll see where the justification came from to stop me from taking my daughter! ”

"Master, the Zhou family said, if you go, you will fight out..."The entourage said.

"I think he dares! And there is no royal law! Second Master Cheng said angrily, but his footsteps stopped.

Second Mrs. Cheng also took advantage of the situation to hold him.

"Master, you don't need a royal law between you and the Zhou family." She said, "Master, it's better not to bring it back, it's all the Zhou family's connivance with Jiao Niang, it's all the fault of the Zhou family, you go and explain to the senior officials." ”

That's right, push it to the Zhou family!

Second Master Cheng nodded.

"That's right, it's all because of the Zhou family." He said, turning around, "Quick." Take your clothes. I'll go. ”

Second Mrs. Cheng was also busy waiting for someone.

"And Shiro.," she said.

Second Master Cheng stopped.

"This thing does such a depraved thing. I should have pleaded guilty to the court and robbed him of his Jinshi body. He said with a gloomy face.

In this way, it can also show the sincerity of apologizing and making amends to high-ranking officials.

Second Mrs. Cheng nodded, gritting her teeth with hatred.

"That's right, let him taste the killing taste, too." She said.

"Come and prepare a car to go out, I'll do it." Cheng Er's mind was set and he couldn't wait.

The housekeeper outside the door hurried in.

"Master, I can't get out, the door is blocked." He shouted, "The one who wants the account has said, and if he doesn't give the money, he will go to sue." ”

"Whoever should be sued, who should be sued!" Second Mrs. Cheng said hurriedly.

"Madame! Now these shops are yours. The butler was so anxious that he stomped his feet. If it is true, these shops will be seized by the government. ”

Close down!

"No way!" Second Master Cheng said categorically, "If there are chickens, they can still lay eggs, but without chickens, there will be nothing, and this shop must be kept." ”

"How to keep it?" Second Mrs. Cheng had an idea, "Why don't you sell one shop to keep the others?" ”

"You're crazy, sell a shop! Do you know how much dividends a shop can earn in a month? You're going to sell it! Don't you think you threw away enough money? Second Master Cheng raised his eyebrows and shouted.

"What then?" Second Mrs. Cheng said.

Second Master Cheng looked at her.

Second Mrs. Cheng couldn't help but shudder, and subconsciously took a step back.

"Your dowry will be taken out first for emergencies." He said.

My dowry!

"Yes, how much?" Second Mrs. Cheng stammered and asked.

"Seven or eight people came. That's about 20,000. The butler said.

Twenty thousand!

Second Mrs. Cheng gasped.

"How can I have so much money!" She shouted.

Second Master Cheng was a little impatient.

"If you don't have any money, just make it up." He said, his eyes falling on Second Mrs. Cheng's dresser. Stretching out his hand, he said, "So much gold and silver jewelry has been sold, and a lot of it has been sold." ”

Second Mrs. Cheng turned her head in astonishment and looked at her jewelry box.

Those large and small three-tier shelves are full of boxes, those that are carefully selected, those that have not yet been worn one by one, and those that have to be passed on to their sons, daughters, and daughters-in-law....

"It's going to be deadly!"

…………………………………………………….

"Ridiculous? I don't know who is ridiculous. ”

Mrs. Chen drank a bowl of tea and soup and put it down.

"Compare money with that woman? As long as people are willing, they are willing to buy 123,000 yuan for a human life, and money is estimated to be like water to her, and she doesn't care about coming and going. ”

Chen Shao shook his head, took the handkerchief handed by the maidservant on the side and held it to his father.

"It's to say that she is acting absurdly, how can a woman condone her brother to do such a thing." He said.

Old Lady Chen smiled.

"That's right, she can't be a little woman, and no one else can't." He said.

Chen Shao also smiled when he heard this.

"I understand now, if I bump into this woman, then I just need to remember one truth." Old Lady Chen said, stretching out a finger.

"It's a blessing to suffer."

At this he laughed again.

"It's too hard to do that, though."

……………………………………………………………

Standing in front of the palace gate, the concubine straightened her clothes again, and then stepped in.

"Your Majesty, this is the sweet soup that the concubine begged for at the Queen Mother yesterday, Your Majesty tastes it." She laughed.

The Emperor put down the fold in his hand and nodded, smiling at her to sit down.

"It's late, King Ping just went back." He said.

The concubine smiled and replied.

"He is now older, what can be done for him to do, Your Majesty should not work too hard." She said.

"It's not necessarily worry-free when you're older." The Emperor said.

The concubine's heart suddenly jumped twice, and she was really scolded again, it seems that this time King Ping made His Majesty angry again.

"King Ping, Luton, Your Majesty has bothered a lot." She said.

The emperor did not speak, and put down the sweet soup that he had eaten in two bites.

"Let's go to the Queen Mother." He said, getting up.

The concubine hurriedly got up.

"Your Majesty." She hesitated and said, "Have you heard?" That Cheng Niangzi wrapped the Oiran thing. ”

The Emperor stopped.

"The Queen Mother knows?" He asked, smiling without waiting for an answer, "It's so fast." ”

Your Majesty's temper is getting more and more strange now, look at the yin and yang weirdness of talking.

"Your Majesty, this lady is acting really..."The concubine smiled.

"Hasn't she always acted like this? What's so strange about it. The emperor interrupted her and said, "She dared to come and fight against me after the death of several righteous brothers, not to mention that her own brother was injured, not to mention..." ”

He looked at the concubine.

"It's ridiculous for a little woman to act like this, isn't it even more ridiculous for a little official and a little woman to fight?"

Anyway, flick your sleeves.

"I will go to Concubine An first, and you will go to see the Queen Mother first."

The concubine didn't have time to say a word, her face turned red with choking, and she looked at the emperor who turned around and sweated anxiously.

"....I'm going to sue first.,It's really not a man...."

The Emperor's words to himself floated again.

There was a crisp sound, and a valuable official kiln celadon tea bowl was torn apart on the ground.

"That's what the Emperor said?"

After a few cases, the high-ranking official with an ugly expression as if he was a torn tea bowl gritted his teeth and said.

The little guy standing in front of him looked trembling.

"Yes." He whispered.

Before the words fell, there was another uproar, and the high-ranking officials overturned the several cases in front of them, and got up like thunder.

"Cheng's cheap fang! Cheng's cheap fang! [Note 1]

*************************************************

Note 1: If the Tang Dynasty scolded people, they used ethnic attributes to humiliate each other, which was more ruthless than ordinary cheap women, and the southwest was called Fang, so southerners were easy to be scolded as Fang, and Cheng Jianniang was a southerner.
