Chapter Twenty-Six: The Undercurrent Surges
The Luo family.
In the compound.
Mrs. Luo reclined on a large chair covered with satin, and closed her eyes to recuperate.
Not far away, there was a maid boiling ginger tea.
She fanned the wind and blew the fire, and she didn't mind wiping the sweat droplets from her face with her little dark hands.
Immediately was painted with a big flower face.
She obviously felt what she was like at the moment, but she didn't care, she still cooked hard.
"Little Flower."
A lazy voice rang out.
Xiaohua immediately put down the work in her hand and started talking.
"Madam, the little flower is here."
"How many times have you said it, don't call me madam, just call me sister." Mrs. Luo propped up her body and said with some anger.
But looking at Xiaohua's face at this time, her anger was instantly covered by a smile.
"But madam, Xiaohua is a slave after all, and Xiaohua's identity ....."
Mrs. Luo smiled lightly: "What about the slave maid, if I marry again in the future, you will be a roommate, and you will also call me sister at that time." ”
"But, but..."
"But what, you don't want to call me sister, don't you want me to marry again?" Mrs. Luo said with a roll of her eyes.
Xiaohua was so anxious that she was about to cry, "No, no, Mrs. is so tired every day, Xiaohua is distressed, and Xiaohua also wants Mrs. to find a wishful husband as soon as possible to share some of it." ”
"Then you still call me Madame?"
Mrs. Luo looked at the snow-white sky, as if she was talking to herself.
"Call me sister, listen younger."
"Yes, sister.... Sister. After saying this, Xiaohua's face was flushed, and even the big flower face was difficult to hide.
"That's good, is the ginger soup ready?" Mrs. Luo replied with satisfaction.
"Right away, right away."
After Mrs. Luo drank the ginger soup, another maid came running from outside and said hurriedly.
"Madam, the head of the Chen family asks to see you."
......
Only a quarter of an hour had passed.
At this time, in the huge compound of Luofu, only Mrs. Luo and Chen Pinli were left.
Inside the compound under the snowy scene, it was unusually cold.
Just like Mrs. Luo's face at this time.
She opened her mouth coldly and said, "The Chen family master thinks this can threaten me? ”
Chen Pinli smiled slightly, as if everything was under control.
"Madame should know my son-in-law, he is the companion of the little prince, if my son-in-law accidentally tells the business dealings between the lady and the enemy, with the current childish mind of the little prince, maybe he will go to His Majesty the Emperor again, Madame must know that the little prince is His Majesty's favorite son, in order to make this little son happy, Your Majesty may do something."
When Mrs. Luo heard this, she did not speak, but her hand hidden under the long sleeves was already tightly clenched into a fist.
Chen Pinli saw that the former did not react, so he added another yard.
"I know that Mrs. Luo and Lord Shangshu have some connections, but they are just money relationships, as long as the money is spent, this relationship can also be bought, if he says a few words above the main hall, madam, there are many old-fashioned people above the main hall."
Mrs. Luo still did not speak.
"After all, fifty years have passed since the incident, and I don't dare to say in detail whether His Majesty the Emperor will care about it, but does Madame dare to bet?"
His tone grew high.
"Bet on the million-dollar fortune of the Naluo family, and gamble on dozens of lives in Naluo Mansion."
"You...."
Mrs. Luo was so angry that she was already spread out on the big chair.
She had compromised.
"Tell me, what do you need me to do?"
Chen Pinli smiled, and a ghostly light flashed in his eyes.
"I'm also gambling on this matter, so I don't dare to expect Mrs. to do anything too much, I just hope that Mrs. will think about it for herself and find a wishful husband as soon as possible."
Mrs. Luo was silent.
After a long time, she replied, "I promise you, but my father-in-law, I will find it by my own means." ”
Chen Pinli's goal was achieved, and he laughed and said, "It should be so." ”
"." Mrs. Luo closed her eyes.
Chen Pinli was not angry.
He bowed his hand slightly, which was regarded as a resignation.
"I just hope that the next time I meet my wife, it will be at my wife's wedding."
Chen Pinli left.
Only Mrs. Luo was left in the compound.
Show your hand to pick up the cooled ginger tea and sip it gently.
Her gaze lay at the snow-white in the distance.
Suddenly, he chuckled.
"It's a real nuisance."
It seems that everything is expected.
......
Inside the boat.
Under the introduction of the girl, Truman also had a general understanding of the structure inside the flower boat.
The first floor has taverns, brothels, casinos, and is a man's paradise.
The second floor sells a variety of goods, including rouge, treasures, silk, swords, and miscellaneous goods, and is a shopping mecca.
The third layer has storytelling, opera, vocal music, and dancing girls, which are quite high-end.
The fourth floor is a paradise for scholars, where they exchange verses, comment on new good poems, and have a number of highly accomplished scholars who hold lectures.
The girl took him to the fourth floor and left.
Wang Desheng couldn't stay idle, and left him as early as the first floor.
Truman doesn't know the people of this fourth layer, so it is naturally difficult to fit in.
He sat quietly on the sidelines, waiting for the poetry meeting to begin.
What he didn't know was that in a hidden place not far from him, two people were looking at him with hatred.
One of them, dressed in black, with long hair covering his right eye, whispered to the person standing in front, "He is the county magistrate who captured your father." ”
The man in front of him was dressed quite gorgeously, and his face was full of anger as that of a man who looked like a very wealthy person.
He said fiercely: "That's right, it's him." ”
The man in black questioned: "The appearance is a little similar, but this temperament is a little different from the portrait you gave me, are you sure you are not mistaken?" ”
The man in gorgeous clothes shook his head and said, "Probably I learned some martial arts, compared to before, I am indeed a little less bookish, but he arrested my father, even if he has a powerful disguise, I will never admit my mistake." ”
The man in black smiled and said, "After learning martial arts, it's not easy to accomplish the purpose you gave me." ”
The man in Chinese clothes turned his head and said, "What, do you want to regret it?" ”
"I'm a sinful person, if I don't kill him, he will trouble me sooner or later, so naturally I won't regret it."
The man in black said with a smile.
The man in Chinese clothes looked at him and spoke lightly.
"You're too greedy."
The man in black laughed and said, "Greed, people like us who pin our heads around our waists, what if we say we are greedy." ”
The man in Chinese clothes glanced at him, then turned his head to look at Truman, and his face gradually became hideous.
"I'll give you another thousand taels, and tomorrow morning, I want to see his head."
A wind blew, blowing up the hair of the man in black covering his right eye, and his pale right eye reflected the figure of Truman.
As if the man's life and death had been decided, he grinned.
"I will live up to the expectations of my boss."
