In the evening, Splendid Lan is indispensable to be lively again. If it weren't for Gege's instructions to rest early after running around for days, I was afraid that the trouble would not end until the fifth watch. The next day, the splendid lan regained its former tranquility. The four guards got up early to practice martial arts, Hongcui and the painting screen waited for Gege to get up and read in the morning, and then had breakfast to arrange the work of the day. However, in the Jingshi, there is no news that can be hidden for a day, especially a famous mansion like Jinxiulan. Within a day, the news of Qing Gege's return spread in the major mansions. For a while, after lunch, people came to visit Wèn Ann one after another. Gege still didn't come forward, and only sent dark incense to see them one by one.

At the beginning of the unitary time, Dark Fragrance went into the backyard to ask to see Gege. At that time, Hongcui went to check the pawnshop and had not returned, and there was only a picture screen waiting in the house. The painting screen asked Gege before inviting Dark Xiang in.

Dark incense wants to say hello again. Gege said, "How many times do you want to ask for peace in a day?" That's it. Who wants to see you here? ”

Dark Xiang replied: "Before, the director of the Zongren Mansion, Acton, the Quan Gonggong of the Internal Affairs Mansion, and Qi Rui, the official of the Ministry of Justice, came to see Gege, and Dark Xiang replied that Gege was not in good health and was recuperating in the mansion. ”

Gege said: "I know, is there anything else?" ”

Dark incense said: "In the front hall, there is the blue imperial history of the Metropolitan Inspectorate, Gege wants to see him at this time?" Dark Xiang guessed that Gege was afraid that something would ask him, so he asked him to wait. ”

Gege looked up and asked, "Oh? Blue Yushi is here again? Himself? Can Master Zhang accompany him? ”

Dark incense replied, "It's only Lan Yushi." Dark Xiang thought that he was only afraid that he was going to ask his cousin about it, so he didn't ask him to leave. ”

Gege nodded and said, "You did a good job!" I was about to see him. His cousin was a good officer, innocently killed. Although there is a reward from the emperor, I should always give him an explanation. You lead him to the little study and wait. I'll go over it. ”

Darkincense replied yes and turned to leave. Gege got up. The painting screen cleaned up the sheet music on the table and asked, "How is Gege going to sue him?" The painting screen felt that the Lan Jun family was too pitiful, and the child was so old. ”

Gege said: "The imperial court has already rewarded him, and Lan Jun and his brother Lan Hong should take care of it, so it must not be too sad." Before leaving, I was entrusted by Lan Yushi, and there should always be an explanation at this time. What about the red emerald? Hongcui hasn't seen that girl for a day, hasn't she come back yet? ”

Huaping replied: "Sister Hongcui said that she was going to the pawnshop to check the accounts, for fear that the people below would make trouble, but I was afraid that she should come back at this time." ”

Gege didn't say anything more, and changed his clothes from the picture screen. It was about the same time, and then he walked out of the inner room and went straight to the small study. Lan Jianzhang was already waiting in the small study, waiting for Gege to come in, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, he said, "Lan Jianzhang please Gege!" ”

Gege said, "No need to be polite, get up and sit down." ”

Lan Jianzhang got up and sat down. Tea on the picture screen. Gege said: "The matter of Lan Zhi County must have been known by Lan Yushi, Ruoqing can't help it. ”

Lan Jianzhang said: "Gege is strict when he speaks! What does this have to do with Gege? It's all Li Hao's trouble! ”

Gege said: "Ruoqing is not speaking for herself, but for the court. Li Hao has been the prefect of Hangzhou for more than ten years. The imperial court did nothing about his bad deeds and allowed him to do evil in Hangzhou. This is a dereliction of duty on the part of the imperial court, presumably the emperor will strictly investigate the merits in the next few days, and see if there are still people who engage in fraud in the middle. Seriously. Local officials colluded with Beijing officials to deceive their superiors and subordinates, and the imperial court should also focus on rectification. If it goes on like this. If the upper and lower levels collude, the imperial court will inevitably be corroded. It's just a few more cases like Lanzhi County. The emperor is deep in the palace, and it is difficult to know. ”

Lan Jianzhang said: "Gege is far-sighted, and Jianzhang is deeply admired!" Jianzhang entered the mansion this time, most likely for his cousin. Jianzhang thanked Gege for his cousin's matter. Then he got up and kowtowed again.

Gege said: "Lord Lan is not more polite. Ruoqing, as a member of the Aixin Jueluo family, always has to think about the court and the people. Ruoqing only does things for her conscience, and has no other selfish interests. Lord Lan, please be forgiving! ”

Lan Jianzhang got up from the ground and talked about some new things in Beijing, and almost half an hour later, when he saw Gege serving tea to the guests, he said goodbye and left.

As soon as Lan Jianzhang was sent away, he saw the curtain move, and a figure flashed in. Gege was about to ask who was so rude, when he caught a glimpse of Hongcui. Gege asked, "Where have you been this day, and you have come back so late?" ”

Hongcui replied: "Hongcui inspected more than a dozen pawnshops, and she was so tired that her legs were about to break. Xiao Gege asked where they went when they met, and he didn't feel sorry for people at all! Xiao Gege thinks about it, people are worry-free now, Xiao Gege should not pay attention to it, but I am afraid that ten percent of the income will be swept away by the people below. Hongcui knew that Xiao Gege was kind-hearted, but the people below were inconsiderate of this, and she became more and more arrogant with Xiao Gege's kindness. Hongcui, but I am guarding the door for Xiao Gege. ”

Gege saw that her expression really showed a tired look, so he stopped asking and said, "I don't want to see you here, you can come and serve again tomorrow morning." ”

Hongcui said a thousand blessings, and said with a smile: "Xie Xiaogege! Hongcui knew that Xiao Gege felt sorry for Hongcui and wanted Hongcui to rest early, Xiao Gege said yes? With that, he turned around and took Gege's arm. Gege shook her off and said to the picture screen: "I'm hungry, ask the kitchen when to cook?" Let's open the meal in the inner room, I'm lazy to go over. The painting screen lowered his head and said yes, followed Gege out, and when he was about to go out, he glanced at Hongcui again, and pointed at her to make a gesture, meaning goodbye later, I have something to ask you. Hongcui grimaced at her, shaking her head and ignoring her. As soon as Gege left with her front feet, she stepped out of the study with her back feet and walked to the front yard with a puff of smoke.

The quarters of the four guards were in the front yard. Although it is a front yard, it is divided into several courtyards, and each courtyard is separated by a corridor and a small gate. Hongcui lightly touched the front of one of the courtyards. The courtyard door was tightly closed, and Hongcui didn't dare to rush in, so she leaned to the door and closed one eye to look inside. Suddenly, she was gently hit on the right shoulder, and someone asked, "Is there a monkey in there?" Let me see it too. ”

Hongcui shook her shoulders and scolded, "What kind of monkey? Let's play! I didn't see my aunt and grandmother busy. Just after saying this, I felt that something was wrong, and turned my head to see that this person was not a butterfly. Hongcui stomped her feet and scolded: "You narrow ghost, what are you hiding behind me? ”

Randie smiled: "You red girl, why are you coming to my yard?" ”

Hongcui was speechless, so she had to defend: "I happened to be passing by here, see what the hell are you doing in there?" I haven't seen you for a day, who knows what you've done? Dare to find a good little brother again? ”

Randie squinted at Hongcui and said, "I don't have any good little brother, but I saw that the two of them hugged their aunts on the street, and they were very affectionate." ”

Hongcui knew that he had seen the scene just now, and his face was not red, and the big lama said: "Don't go around in circles with me, you also saw it, he provoked me first, is my Hongcui a person to mess with?" He deserves it, and it has nothing to do with me. ”

Randie said: "Miss Hongcui is right, that man is looking for death, and he deserves to suffer!" But then again, Miss Hongcui always uses that trick to deal with men, in case she kicks someone's life, you let the family be a eunuch? ”

Hongcui snorted coldly, raised her head and said, "He shouldn't be a eunuch and care about my!" I'm just here to sue you, take care of your mouth, don't have anything to do, just talk nonsense in front of Gege, be careful that I sew your mouth. ”

Randie said in a row: "Don't dare, don't dare!" Random butterfly doesn't even dare to fart in front of Gege, how dare she talk nonsense? Miss Hongcui can rest assured. But Randie is very worried, the man is not small, Miss Hongcui provoked this person, I'm afraid he won't spare Miss Hongcui. ”

Saying this, Hongcui suddenly drooped her face. It turned out that during the day, she came out of the pawnshop and met a man, about twenty years old, who was also good-looking, white and powdery. He was surrounded by one or twenty servants, and his momentum was very arrogant. Hongcui didn't want to pay attention to him, and stood aside and waited for them to go back to Jinxiulan. Who knew that the man smiled when he saw Hongcui's appearance, walked over with a smile, and called the girl. Who is Hongcui? Seeing that he had seen a lot of this kind of scene, he said with a straight face: "You are looking for the wrong person, girl, I am not the person you want to molest!" Acquaintances, go away! ”

Seeing Hongcui so tough, the man became more and more energetic, reached out and touched Hongcui's face, and said, "It's quite stubborn!" It's okay, sir, I like you like this. Sue you, I'm Gao Shuang, a famous figure in Beijing, do you know who my godfather is? He can be an errand boy in the palace and is a popular man in the current emperor. You follow me, I will give you good food, good drink, good clothes, so that you can enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth, how? ”

Hongcui sneered and said, "I care if you're cool and cool? Hurry up and give the girl and I'll go away, girl, I don't care about your stubble! ”

Gao Shuang wanted to twist Hongcui's face again. Hongcui has one of them, and there is no other, and he grabbed Gao Shuang's wrist with his backhand and pinched it fiercely. After all, Gao Shuang is a rich and noble son, and he usually stretches out his hands to eat to open his mouth, how can he ever suffer this kind of painful pinching? He bared his teeth and cried out in pain. Seeing that their master was guilty, the dozens of slaves in the back rushed forward, broke Hongcui's hand, and pulled Hongcui away.

Gao Shuang said angrily: "Your grandmother's, don't eat and drink when you toast." Come on, tie me up for my grandfather, send it to the house, and I fried her at night! ”

The servants agreed, and tied the red emerald strongly. Hongcui struggled a few times, but the other party showed more people, and she was a single woman, how could she earn more than a man? She is secretly fragrant, if she is tied up like this, she is afraid that something will happen to her at night. Even if Gege finds Hongcui in the end, I'm afraid it will be a corpse. Hongcui didn't eat the immediate loss, thought about it carefully, changed her smile, and said with a smile: "The little girl is joking with Gao Ye, why should Gao Ye be angry?" Look at Gao Ye's powerful faction, either rich or expensive, is the little woman a fool if she doesn't follow Gao Ye? You're going to fry the red cui raw, so why wait for the night? There is a restaurant on the street, how about we go to the room and talk? ”

Gao Shuang listened, and his heart blossomed with joy. I've seen so many women, and I've never seen anyone as provocative and generous as her. He personally came over to untie Hongcui's rope and took Hongcui into the Yunzhongtian Restaurant next to him. Entering the restaurant, Gao Shuang asked for an upper room, and went in happily with Hongcui's hand. As soon as she entered the room, Hongcui twisted around and kicked Gao Shuang's crotch. He bent over in pain. Hongcui took the opportunity to walk out of the room and escaped through the back door of the restaurant. Randie was seeing Hongcui and Gao Shuang enter the restaurant at that time. He didn't know what was going on, but he touched the beams of the house and saw the scene in the house.
