Chapter 88: The bustle in the flower building
Wang Xuannian stood at the window and watched the two people on the street, and he didn't move a step until they disappeared.
I don't know how long it took for the knock on the door to come back to my senses, close the window lattice, and just wanted to go to open the door, but found that my legs and feet were already numb, so I had to say, "Come in." ”
A group of men walked in and out, but they didn't see anyone, thinking that they might be inside, they stood at the door and said, "Boss, the hot water has been prepared, but you have to bring it in." ”
Wang Xuannian sat at the round table and ordered, "Carry it in." ”
The man took the order and let the water into the clean room before retiring.
Wang Xuannian walked into the clean room and looked at the hot water, hooked the corners of his mouth, turned around and walked out of the clean room, opened the windows in the house, and the cold wind blew in.
He sat on the couch by the window, leaning against the window, his hands on his knees, his eyes looking out, the road was sparsely populated, and the shouts of the vendors were intermittent.
On the opposite corner of the street, a dozen or so people in ragged clothes sat on wooden planks to make money.
Two of them caught his eye, one with a white beard, a child with a big head or a small body, and two kneeling on the ground next to each other, shivering with cold.
He looked at the child as if he saw his former self, and he used to go out to find food in the winter, despite the cold.
But in the snow-covered land, it was not easy to find something to eat, and he often returned disappointed, sometimes he was sick from the cold, and often came back to life when he thought he would not survive.
God treats him well, he is lucky that this year's winter is the warmest he has ever lived, but he is not greedy enough to get all of her.
After looking at it for a long time, he got up and went to the clean room, the water had turned into lukewarm water, Wang Xuannian took off his clothes and walked into the bathtub to bathe......
On the other side, Zhong Xuanlan and Prince Mu came to the door of Baihualou, at this time, it was evening, although the weather was cold, it did not affect the business of Hualou. It's quite lively inside.
As soon as I stepped into the Baihua Building, a few girls and little girls greeted me.
Seeing that Zhong Xuanlan was born beautiful, he lost his mind for a while, approached Zhong Xuanlan's side for a moment, and said softly: "Girl, is it okay to let the slave family accompany you?" ”
Zhong Xuanlan saw that Xiao Qi was about to lean on her, so he quickly dodged and said, "No need." ”
Xiao Qi was frightened by her momentum, and Zhong Xuanlan said, "I want to see your Oiran here." ”
The little man came back to his senses, stood up and said, "Oh, that, girl, Mr. Xia has a guest." ”
Zhong Xuanlan looked at Prince Mu's side, saw him nod slightly, glanced at Xiao Qi, and walked directly to Prince Mu's side.
Led by a Yahuan, the two came to the innermost door on the right side of the first and third floors, and the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras came from inside.
Prince Mu didn't wait for anyone to report, he directly pushed the door open, and for a while everyone in the room looked at the intruder.
Sun Sihao, the third prince of Sun, hurriedly stood up, saluted, and wanted to speak, but was waved by Prince Mu and said, "You don't have to be polite when you go out, just call me a son." ”
Sun Sihao commanded: "Yes." ”
Zhong Xuanlan pointed to the handsome little man sitting opposite and said, "I will pack him tonight." ”
Sun Sihao looked at Zhong Xuanlan with a lewd smile and agreed: "Yes, I will ask you and Xia Gongzi to find another room, and today's expenses will be on my body." ”
Zhong Xuanlan didn't respond to him, but turned around and walked out of the room where the smell of wine and food, rouge and gouache and other strong smells were mixed.
Immediately afterwards, Prince Mu also walked out.
Under the leadership of the subordinates, the two went to the third room on the right.
Zhong Xuanlan glanced at the room, randomly found a place by the window and sat down, and Prince Mu naturally sat opposite her.
Soon, Xia Gongzi walked in with someone carrying tea, and the next person withdrew after serving tea.
Zhong Xuanlan saw that Xia Gongzi was still standing there, looking at her with obsessive eyes, which made her dislike, she liked the way the little guy looked at her.
Xia Gongzi touched Zhong Xuanlan's eyes, his heart stopped for a moment, and he didn't dare to look at it again.
I heard Prince Mu say again, "Sit down." He sat down at the round table in front of them in a daze, but his eyes didn't dare to look at Zhong Xuanlan anymore.
Zhong Xuanlan asked, "Young Master Xia, do you mean that I should call you Xia Huakui?" Or do you call you Master Lu? ”
Lu Xuanhe was shocked, did she recognize him?
Zhong Xuanlan said: "I didn't expect that a person who has been studying for many years can even discard the backbone of a scholar. Tell me, where have you taken people? ”
Lu Xuanhe hid his hand in his sleeve, clenched his fists tightly, looked at him with his eyes, and said, "I don't know what the girl is talking about?" ”
Zhong Xuanlan looked at the person in front of him with a slight cold gaze, and said coldly: "Do you really think that the concubine of the Sun family will offend me for you?" ”
Lu Xuanhe said angrily: "I don't know, and even if I do, I won't tell you, unless you help me redeem myself and give me a good place to go." ”
Zhong Xuanlan hooked the corners of his mouth and said lightly: "Why? ”
Lu Xuanhe let go of his fist, regained his composure, and said, "You calculated my family, shouldn't you pay the price?" ”
Zhong Xuanlan looked at the person in front of him who wanted to threaten her, with mockery in his eyes, and said indifferently: "Something will happen to your family, aren't you to blame?" ”
Squinting her eyes, she calculated the matter of the Lu family, but not many people knew, how did he know?
I thought back to the investigation of the Wang family's calculation of the Zhong family some time ago, and by the way, I also checked the Lu family.
Since the Lu family moved back to Lujia Village, the big house and the second room are all people who can't do farm work, and the work in the fields is deserted.
He also asked Lu Li to calculate Lu Quan's pension, and the last family relied on Lu Quan's pension to live, and their lives were okay.
couldn't stand the restlessness of Lu Wen and Lu Wu, so he borrowed money from the black boss in the town to open a small wine shop, but because he didn't pay attention to the freshness of the food, he made the guests vomit and diarrhea, and lost a lot of money.
Since then, the business has plummeted, and the black boss here is collecting debts again, and they are unable to repay, Lu Xuanhe, Lu Xi'er and Lu Xuancheng were sold to the flower building by the black boss.
She knew that this news was only a glance, and she didn't take it to heart, and she didn't expect that something would go wrong.
Lu Xuanhe glanced at Zhong Xuanlan and lowered his eyes silently, but his heart was full of panic.
Zhong Xuanlan looked at him, hooked the corners of his mouth, and said, "I'll give you another chance." ”
Lu Xuanhe's body trembled slightly, pursed his mouth tightly, lowered his head and said nothing.
After a while, Zhong Xuanlan got up and left.
Prince Mu glanced at Lu Xuanhe with mockery in his eyes, got up and left.
I just didn't walk a few steps out of the house, and I met an acquaintance, and this flower building was really lively.
Li Gongzi saluted and said, "Li Anming has seen the prince, the county lord. ”
The two men who came with him were a little surprised, but they soon followed suit.
Prince Mu waved his hand and signaled that he would be exempted.
Zhong Xuanlan was just about to leave, but Li Anming stopped her way and said, "Can you invite the county lord to have tea here?" ”
Zhong Xuanlan glanced at Li Anming and said, "Yes." ”
