Chapter 22: Subtlety (1)
New Year's greetings to all the brothers who are still struggling on the front line of writing and reading during the Spring Festival! I wish you all a happy new year and a new atmosphere! )
"It's only been two months since I came to this city, and I'm going to return to Dadu, I thought that I could rely on Quanzhou Mansion to kill Meng Yuan by relying on Quanzhou Mansion, but I didn't expect it to be destroyed by the party struggle between Emperor Hui and the crown prince!" Xiang Lan'er reluctantly lifted the carriage curtain and glanced at the county lord's mansion where she had lived for two months.
"Let's go! We must rush to Longwang Town as soon as possible, and retreat to Dadu with nearly a thousand defenders left by Zhao Qing, Nasaifuding and Amiridin have sent thousands of soldiers and horses separately, ready to take over the defense around Quanzhou Mansion, if you go late, I'm afraid you won't be able to go, if you are under house arrest in Quanzhou Mansion by two Persian volunteers, it is not what the master thinks! This is what the middle-aged Confucian student in the county lord's mansion said to Xiang Lan'er.
"Since the master saw Shang Yu's young man that night, he didn't seem to care about the anti-Yuan cause, and his expression became extremely excited! He also told me not to ask about anything related to him, so what is Shang Yu's identity? The master didn't allow me to ask about it again, which is strangely tight! The master was so anxious to say that he was going to see someone, but he didn't know who he was going to see? Xiang Lan'er thought after lowering the curtains of the car.
"Let's go!" Xiang Lan'er said crisply in the carriage at the same time.
"Yes, county lord!"
Escorted by hundreds of soldiers, Xiang Lan'er, the Han county lord canonized by Meng Yuan, left Quanzhou Mansion, the largest port in the world, the most prosperous place in history.
Soon after, Quanzhou also became a second-rate trading city due to racial discrimination in the city after two volunteers entered the city, resulting in a sharp decline in trade between Quanzhou ports, and Fanbang cargo ships and wealthy merchants from all over the Central Plains abandoned the city.
At the same time as Xianglan'er went out of the city, a large convoy of Lu's firm also went out of the city from the north city gate, and went west along the official road to Yangzhou, which is in the northwest.
"Little Four! After several more convoys are completed, most of the goods in the business can be transported to Yangzhou. A few days later, when the generals of the Semu people take over the Quanzhou Mansion, I will leave the city with the head of the family and others, and the business name of the Quanzhou Mansion will be handed over to you to stay. ”
"Our business can be maintained only by the water transportation between Yangzhou and various provinces, and when the traffic barrier between the rebel army and Quanzhou is broken, we will return to Quanzhou! If you can't do anything, you can sell the outer warehouses of the business to the people of Semu and evacuate the city, and do as we agreed half a month ago! Lu Shaobei rode on the horse and said in a deep voice to the junior on the horse next to him.
After hearing this, Xiao Si immediately nodded and said, "Sir! I understand, it's just young! Staying in Quanzhou Mansion this time, I am also a little afraid in my heart! But since you believe in Xiao Si so much, Xiao Si must do his best to protect the business industry! As he spoke, Xiao Si's eyes were still looking at the distant convoy.
Just like an hour ago, Lu Shaobei instructed him not to tell the news of Shang Yu's father's death to be the same as Shang Yu's mother and son, Xiao Si's face was not very good, after becoming a steward, the business of the local business he came into contact with and several other businesses made him clear that the goods operated by the Lu family were only the business of Quanzhou Prefecture, and those maritime smuggling were all carried out by other businesses with the support of the Semu people behind them, and the amount of official taxes they avoided had already reached an earth-shattering number, which was completely incalculable.
"That's good! Little Fourth, in the next few days, I will transfer Shang Yu from Lufu back to the business, and ask him and Shang Mei to go to Yangzhou Mansion to the business, and I will go north to Jining Road to investigate the robbery of the caravan! Lu Shaobei said with a look of worry in his eyes.
"Sir! This way to Jining Road, it is not safe!! There is a war going on between the northern provinces, and it will be extremely unsafe for you to go! When Xiao Si heard that Lu Shaobei was going to go to the north in person in the future, he couldn't help but say with some worry.
"It doesn't matter! With Luo Biqing's strong martial arts to send you off, and our business is quite famous in various places, it will not be dangerous! And I'll avoid dangerous places. Little Four, you are better than Xiao Yu in terms of rigor in doing things, if you have no opinion! Think of it as my other apprentice! Lu Shaobei looked at Xiao Si and said slowly.
"Sir! Are you finally willing to put the little four in the wall? Master, please accept the apprentice's worship! Xiao Si was immediately overjoyed when he heard this, turned over and dismounted and knelt in front of Lu Shaobei's horse, and respectfully knocked his head three times.
Because of his humble status, Xiao Si had the idea of worshiping Lu Shaobei as a teacher in his heart, Shang Yu became Lu Shaobei's disciple, he was very envious at the time, but he just didn't dare to say it, he didn't expect that outside the city gate, Lu Shaobei actually said this, how could he not like it.
"Second Miss! Say whatever you want! I still have accounts to do, so I can't spend more time with you. After Shang Yu entered the steward's room, he turned his back to Lu Wan and said angrily.
At this moment, Lu Wan suddenly grabbed his shoulder behind him, but he didn't make a sound.
"Second Miss! What do you mean by that? How can you be so if a man and a woman don't kiss each other? Shang Yu turned around and asked with some annoyance, but when he saw Lu Wan's expression, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Seeing that Lu Wan's eyes were red with tears, and he was looking at him with a resentful look, Shang Yu was immediately startled, and he couldn't help but stop when he wanted to get rid of Lu Wan for a while.
"Second Miss, what's wrong with you? What I just said offended you? Seeing that Lu Wan, who had been messing around a few days ago, was suddenly like this, Shang Yu was really a little puzzled, if other people saw this scene, they would definitely think that he, the steward, was bullying the second lady, but that was not what he thought.
After Lu Wan heard Shang Yudi's words, he didn't say a word, and tears flowed down instantly.
When Shang Yu saw it, he was even more scared, the more Lu Wan, who had always been known for his fierceness and rudeness, the more he felt bad in his heart.
"Second Miss, it's okay for you to mess around with me a few days ago! Come to me today and weep, what kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd? Shang Yu asked even more annoyed.
"You wooden fish! I was locked up for a month before I could get out of my room! You ruined my innocence, do you want to forget it like this? As he spoke, Lu Wandi's tears immediately gushed out like a spring.
While speaking, Lu Wan's hand actually grabbed one of Shang Yu's arms tightly, and the force was very strong, Shang Yu intuitively felt a pain in his arm, and he couldn't help but wave his hand to break free from Lu Wan's grip.
"Second Miss! So you're for that...... That thing? After Shang Yu broke free from Lu Wan's grip, he replied dumbfounded, and there was a strange feeling in his heart at this time.
"Yes! Although you were trying to save me at the time, you did ruin people's innocence! Although the matter was not mentioned, it ...... This happened after all, how can you compensate me? Lu Wan burst into tears at this time, and she became more and more sad when she cried.
"Also, I heard from several aunts that if their innocence is destroyed, then they are in danger of becoming pregnant, and you have ...... That's for me! And I haven't heard anything this month, obviously I'm pregnant with your child, so I've come to you several times, but you don't pay attention! How are you going to let me live? Lu Wan said with a cry again.
(In ancient times, there were many names for women's menstrual events, and Shengxi was also a kind of elegant name for menstrual events among the big families of the Han people in the south.) )
"You mean your voice hasn't arrived? How is it possible, we don't have a ......" Speaking of this, Shang Yu couldn't help but be stunned, and his face couldn't help but smile.
Lu Wan took out a handkerchief from his arms, wiped the tears on his face, and then said with a red face: "How is it impossible? You damn underground man, stain my innocence, but I can't tell people, if the days go by and people find out, how can I live? ”
Shang Yu seemed to hear the most incredible thing in the world at this time, his mouth opened wide, and he thought in his heart: "How is it possible? Just by taking out the strip of cloth with her mouth, can she conceive my baby? In the knowledge left by my master, it is said that men and women must be combined in order to be pregnant! Does this Miss Lu Waner really don't understand or is she here to tease me? ”
After thinking of this, Shang Yu couldn't help but raise his head and said, "Second Miss! It's easy to do, I'm sure you won't get pregnant! Therefore, I don't have to listen to you continue to mess around here, if I let the people in the palace know that you are so nonsense, I will definitely sue the master, and then I will not be able to tell even a thousand mouths. So please go back to your room, I'll do the accounting here!" ”
Shang Yu thought that Lu Wan was here to mess around, and he was extremely tired of Lu Wan's shameless and indiscriminate talk.
"You're talking like that, I'm having a fucking affair with you little thief!" Lu Wan didn't know much about men and women, and her aunts spoke more generally, and what she mentioned to her was that a woman's body could only be touched by her husband alone, and if she was touched by a man, she would be at risk of becoming pregnant.
In the past month, she has been confined to the boudoir, and she has always been playing around all day, so it is natural that she is extremely emotional, so it is normal for her to come for a few days and a half a month late, but she has not practiced medical skills, and she has not reached the age of marriage, so she will think that she is pregnant with Shang Yudi's child.
After saying this, Lu Wan pounced forward, stretched out his hand and slapped Shang Yu in the face, Shang Yu's body was dexterous, and he immediately dodged it, this month he has been carrying the subway rack, has been added to the heaviest one, although he did not jump three feet high, but it is not much different, at this time he did not carry the iron frame, only felt that the body was extremely light, this can avoid Lu Wan's blow.
Although his head had already dodged this palm, Shang Yu was a little angry, and he couldn't help but stretch out his arm to grab Lu Wan's hands and say, "Second Miss, since I was a child in a private school, you have teased me countless times, and you have even soaked my cotton clothes with water in the warehouse!" Last time I saved you in Fanghua Building, you don't know how to be grateful, you actually teased me like this, when did I stain your innocence? ”
After Lu Wan heard Shang Yudi's words, he cried loudly, and said while crying: "You damn Muyu!" I've hated you since I was a child, you have tarnished my innocence and made me ...... I don't care, I don't have a face, you damn thief! If you can't find a way to come, I can only talk to my father about this matter, and let him send you to the government, and I won't live anymore! ”
After saying that, he wanted to break free from Shang Yu's grasp, and his body also struggled outward.
Shang Yu was a little anxious when he heard this, and said in his heart: "Although it was true that I saved the second lady at that time, I just took out the strip of cloth from her mouth with my mouth, but I never mentioned it to anyone. ”
"If this kind of thing is known to the master, I will inevitably be punished heavily in my identity, it is not a question of whether I can continue to be in charge, and it is likely that I will be driven out of the Lu Mansion, then my mother and I will have no place to live, and even the master will not be able to maintain me."
"If my father comes back from the north, he will definitely lose his position as caravan leader because of this, and I will not become a sinner in the family?" Thinking of this anxiously in his heart, Shang Yu thought of a bold method in his heart.
"Second Miss! Please don't shout, I promise you'll be fine! Just be careful, if you let people outside hear it, then I can't help it! Shang Yu whispered in front of Lu Wan.
After hearing Shang Yudi's words, Lu Wan immediately stopped struggling, stared at Shang Yu with wide eyes, and asked after a few breaths, "How can it be okay?" Do you have a way? I have your baby in my belly! ”
Shang Yu was ruthless in his heart and said, "Isn't that it? Even if you do this a million times, you won't get pregnant! ”
He suddenly let go of Lu Wan's hands, reached out and grabbed her waist, and viciously put his mouth up, kissed Lu Wan's lips heavily, and made a "z" sound, and then quickly left Lu Wan's lips in disgust, his eyes glaring at Lu Wan.
Lu Wan looked at Shang Yu a little blankly, and there was a tingling feeling on his lips, as if there was a feeling of reluctance, but the sense of humiliation in his heart arose.
She said in a sluggish voice, "Shang Yu, do you know what you're doing now?" Once again, you have tarnished my innocence. She didn't expect Shang Yu to do this to her again, although she was very angry in her heart, and she wanted to reach out and hit Shang Yu, but her body was completely powerless, and she didn't feel a little desperate in her heart.
"If it stains your innocence! Last time I did it unintentionally, but this time it was completely you who forced me, and I repeat, if I do this, I will not get pregnant a million times! Seeing that Lu Wan still didn't believe it, Shang Yu immediately put his lips up again and kissed Lu Wan's lips heavily.
This time he didn't leave immediately, anyway, Lu Wan decided that he was innocent, and he had been repeatedly bullied by her since he was a child, so Shang Yu was out at this time.
After this kiss, Shang Yu suddenly felt a strange warm current rising from his back, and his whole body became extremely excited, and the faint fragrance from the end of his nose made him forgetful, remembering the scene in Fanghua Building, Shang Yu couldn't help but open Lu Wan's teeth with his tongue and drill in.
Lu Wan didn't expect Shang Yu to be so bold and rude, he actually treated her like this, and when she was about to push Shang Yu away, a young man's smell came into her nose, and a trembling feeling rose in her heart, especially the moment when Shang Yu put his tongue into her mouth, Lu Wan actually felt as if she had completely lost her support, and actually fell into Shang Yu's arms with a sigh, and a strong sense of happiness surrounded the two together.
Both of them were young men and women, and they had never had sex with each other, and they both had some dislike for each other, but it was natural for opposites to attract, and under this contact, they immediately forgot what they had just talked about.
I don't know how long the tip of his tongue stirred, Shang Yu was a little reluctant to part with Lu Wan, his eyes stared at Lu Wan, and his feelings for Lu Wan in his heart were greatly reversed, and the person in front of him was no longer the second lady, but his favorite woman.
After Lu Wan tasted this sweet feeling, his heart became more and more sour, looking at Shang Yu's face, but he also found that Shang Yu's eyes seemed to be getting brighter and brighter, and thought to himself: "It turns out that when he stained my innocence, I would feel so enjoyed!" But how can I give my life to a subordinate? ”
Shang Yu's state of mind finally returned to clarity after a few breaths, looked at Lu Wan and said, "Second Miss! I will not cause you to conceive by doing this, in fact, only ......" Next, Shang Yu said how men and women can conceive, although it was embarrassing, but he could only say it head-on, anyway, if he didn't say it, Lu Wan would go to her father to confess the matter, and the result was that he Shang Yu and his mother Shang Mei were driven to the street.
When he first heard Shang Yu's detailed explanation, Lu Wan still did not recover from that feeling of humiliation and sweetness, and after Shang Yu explained everything one by one, Lu Wan's face became more and more red, and finally it turned purple, and a feeling of self-shame and shyness immediately filled Lu Wan's heart.
"Don't say it, oh my God! I'm so embarrassed in front of you, you dead wooden fish! Why didn't you say it earlier, and humiliate me like this! As he spoke, Lu Wan stroked his lips, glanced at Shang Yu resentfully, covered his face and cried and ran out of the door.
Shang Yu thought that after explaining, Lu Wan would be able to understand that he did not make her pregnant, but he didn't expect Lu Wan to be even more angry, and said behind her: "Second Miss, I have already explained to you, you can't mess around again!" ”
Unexpectedly, Lu Wan picked up a piece of window pressing wood by the window next to the door, turned around and threw it at Shang Yu, Shang Yu couldn't dodge, so he was smashed on the head, and he was about to speak in pain, but he heard Lu Wan scream: "You dead wood fish, I hate you all my life, I hate you to death!" ”
After speaking, Lu Wan ran out of the door crying.
Shang Yu couldn't help but be a little dazed, not knowing what Lu Wan would do with him, but later he felt some pain in his head even worse, and reached out to touch it, but found that his hands were already stained with blood, which was obviously caused by the injury caused by the blow of the window pressing wood.
"These two young ladies are quite fragrant, but this temperament is too savage! Oh, it hurts! Shang Yu covered his head and muttered.
At this time, there was a knock at the door, and Ding Seventeen's voice was heard: "How is it?" Business manager, we saw the second lady crying and ran out, or the business manager has a way, he is not afraid of the second lady's torture, and he can still run away from her! ”
"Come in! Don't say anything outside. Shang Yu said angrily.
With a "squeak", the door opened from the inside out, and Ding 17 and five other family Ding Yuguan walked into the room.
It was still Mu Shisan, a young man, whose eyes were sharp, and at a glance he saw a trace of blood oozing from between the fingers of Shang Yu covering his forehead.
"Ouch! Business manager, the second lady actually injured you? Mu Thirteen asked in surprise.
Ding Seventeen saw the injury on Shang Yu's forehead when he heard Mu Thirteen's words, and immediately said: "I knew that the second young lady would make an accident, Thirteen, you go to the outside of the mansion to find a doctor, this matter can't be known to the master, otherwise the second young lady will definitely trouble us in the future!" ”
Ding Seventeen knew very well about Lu Wan's brutal style in the mansion for many years, but he didn't expect that he would beat the business manager to blood, and he wouldn't know how glamorous and ambiguous what Shang Yu and Lu Wan did, but he speculated that Shang Yu must have collided with Lu Wan in his words.
After hearing this, Mu 13 immediately agreed, and walked out.
Shang Yu suddenly said, "No need! I'm going to the courtyard of the nursing home to find Master Luo Biqing, he has medicine there! If you call a doctor, it will get worse and worse! From tomorrow onwards, you will no longer have to go to the bazaar and the pier to do business, I will arrange it myself! ”
After that, he lifted the iron frame weighing more than 100 catties from the table and put it on his body, glanced at several family members, and then walked out.
"Guess what, why was the business manager injured his forehead by the second lady?" After Shang Yu left, Ding Qiqi turned his face to the other four family members and asked.
"Who knows? Seventeen brothers! Let's go to work! The second lady has always been like this, always because of her temper! Those of us who are the next people have no way of guessing! Mu Shisan's face sank at this moment and he walked out, although he was the youngest, he was the most loved by Shang Yu, as if he was the leader of the five families.
Seeing Mu Thirteen go out, the other three glared at Ding Seventeen fiercely, snorted in their noses, and also walked out.
"Hey! Aren't I also concerned about business management, and you actually look at me like this! Ding Seventeen shook his head, said something dissatisfied, followed behind a few people, walked out of the door, and locked the steward's room.
