Chapter 132: Cold Rain Falls Here
On the tenth day of November in the eighth year of Xuanli, there was rain in Jinling.
Half a month has passed since Fu Xiaoguan was kidnapped, and Fu Xiaoguan has lived in Yu Wendao's mansion for ten days, and under the careful care of the imperial doctor, his injuries have improved significantly, and his complexion has improved a lot.
He had left the palace five days earlier, because the mansion on the shore of Xuanwu Lake had been renovated.
Fu Xiaoguan and Dong Shulan sat in the Taoran Pavilion in the back garden extending to Xuanwu Lake, he held a fishing rod and hung an earthworm into the water, and was fishing quietly.
Dong Shulan sat at the table with an account book and watched quietly.
The rain in early winter falls in the lake, splashing fine and dense water droplets, so the lake is covered with a thin layer of mist, if you look at it from afar, it will appear more and more ethereal, the water and the sky are connected, connected into a piece.
"It's beautiful in five days to be open, I don't think it's a good time to choose, and it should be listed at the turn of spring and summer." Dong Shulan said.
"Well, it doesn't matter, the important thing is to get fame out during this time, after all, it will take some time to get those ladies to accept."
Fu Xiaoguan grabbed a handful of wine rice from the small jar behind him and sprinkled it into the fishing spot, this is wine rice soaked in heavenly alcohol, why is this fish still not hooked?
"You better go back, it's too cold outside, your injuries aren't healed yet."
"It's okay, this left hand just can't be too hard, it's just that the injury on the fart and thigh is a little troublesome, and it hurts to sit for a long time."
Dong Shulan rolled his eyes, counted the account books in his hand carefully, and said: "This house has cost a total of 167,800 taels of silver, and the total income of the dream of the Red Mansion so far is ......."
Fu Xiaoguan waved his hand and said with a smile: "You must not report this kind of thing to me, I have a headache when I hear the number, you can spend the silver as you want, don't worry that my father has no money, unless the silver in your account is less than 50,000 taels." ”
Dong Shulan glanced at Fu Xiaoguan obliquely, and was very happy in her heart, so she really didn't talk about income and expenditure.
But there was one thing she had to tell Fu Xiaoguan: "Since you moved here, Your Majesty has given you two handwritten Fu Mansion plaques, one of which has been hung here." In addition, there are five pairs of bear bile, 100 hundred-year-old ginseng, a white jade town house Pixiu beast and a set of four treasures of the study. Then there are the six major gates in Beijing, they have all sent people to come, among which Yan Shidao came from Yan Mansion, Shi Yiming came from the Shi family, Qin Mowen from the Qin family, Fei Bang from the Fei family, and Xi Xunmei from the Xi family...... These people come to see you with great gifts, why do you pretend to be asleep and not see them? ”
Dong Shulan didn't understand very much, if Fu Xiaoguan wanted to gain a foothold in Shangjing here, wouldn't it be a good thing to take this opportunity to have a good relationship with the six major gates?
But as soon as Fu Xiaoguan heard that someone was visiting, he would run back and lie on the bed, and he didn't have the idea of meeting these people at all.
Although Dong Shulan also estimated that Fu Xiaoguan's assassination was related to one of the six major valves, there was no loss in doing this superficial article.
Fu Xiaoguan said with a smile: "It's not the time yet, don't say that I'm already alive, even if my father-in-law asks, he also says that I can't get out of bed yet." ”
Dong Shulan's face turned red and she took a sip, "Then when are you going to hide?" ”
"Hide for three more days."
"What's the point here?"
"These things that they sent...... Inadequate! ”
……
Night falls, perhaps because the rain in early winter is too cold, and people who have nothing to do are reluctant to go out. There are generally two kinds of people who can go out at this moment, one is the person who goes to the Qinglou, and the other is the person who goes to the gambling house.
It is very warm in the Qinglou, no matter how cold it is outside, there will always be one or several intimate women inside to warm a pot of wine for you, sing a song for you, relieve your physical and mental exhaustion, or fill the emptiness in your heart.
And the gambling house is very exciting, there is a lot of boldness to spend a lot of money, and there are many myths of getting rich overnight.
On the north side of Qingluan Lane, there is the largest green building in the capital, called Rouge Building.
To the south of Qingluan Lane, there is one of the largest gambling houses in the capital, called Yongle Fang.
At this moment, these two places have become lively, and the brilliant lights are filled with the smell of luxury.
In the side room in the front yard of the Rouge Building, a round-faced monk sat in the center, surrounded by dozens of burly men with swords at their waists.
The round-faced monk glanced at these men with a smile, and his gaze stayed on the face of a man on the left, "Lin Hong, that girl is in charge of you?" ”
The man hurriedly bowed down and replied, "Back to the hall master, Lin Hong is just Feng Ling'er's maid. ”
"Then you tell me where Lin Hong's girl is now?"
"This ...... If the subordinates are derelict in their duties, please punish the hall master. ”
"Of course I'm going to punish you."
Before the words fell, the rosary in the monk's hand suddenly flew out, and the man's eyes suddenly widened - one eye, and his other eye was inlaid with the bead, he fell to the ground with a bang, and the round-faced monk walked over with a smile, pulled out the bead, and strung it on the rosary.
"Remember, if you do something for the Lord's house, dereliction of duty is death."
As soon as he finished speaking, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and he listened carefully, and his face changed greatly: "Copy the guys, hack them to death!" ”
A group of people came to Qingluan Lane!
It's in front of the Rouge House at this moment!
They were dressed in black suits, with black masks on their faces, and cold swords in their hands.
No one spoke, and with a wave of his sword, the black crowd poured into the Rouge Building. The sword flew flesh and blood, and the rosary in the hand of the round-faced monk flew towards the black-clothed man in front of him, and the long sword in the black-clothed man's hand flew over, and all his beads were shattered.
"Green!"
"You are the breeze and the drizzle......"
A sword fell, and the round-faced monk's head was different.
After a stick of incense, the group of black-clothed people rushed to Yongle Fang with blood-dripping swords, and after another stick of incense, the group of black-clothed people lit two fires, and then disappeared into the vast rainy night.
Jinling Mansion Office, Dong Mowen looked at the rain outside the window, and said to Ning Yuchun, who took over the post of Yin of his Mansion: "It's almost, send someone to collect the corpse." ”
In the Fu Mansion on the shore of Xuanwu Lake, the Fifth Prince Yu asked and drank the last glass of wine with Fu Xiaoguan, and asked, "That woman named Lin Hong, where did you hide her?" ”
Fu Xiaoguan shook his head blankly, "I didn't even come out of this door, did Qin Mowen arrest that woman?" I remember telling him that there was a woman named Lin Hong in the Rouge Building, and she might know some clues. ”
"If you give her to me, it will make a beautiful article."
Fu Xiaoguan looked at the rain outside the door, and after a while, he said with a smile: "You are not as good as me when you make a fuss." ”
Yu asked, looked at Fu Xiaoguan for ten breaths, got up and left, "Autumn is over, the sky is cold, I hope you know the cold!" ”
