Chapter 48: The Last Hope

"Shopkeeper Shen." Wan Tong quietly rubbed in front of Shen Lin, the shopkeeper of Ming Yuexuan.

"What do you command?" Shen Linfang stopped the bookkeeping pen in his hand, raised his eyes, and saw Wan Tong, who was half-exposed in his chest, looking at him with a coquettish face. Shen Linfang blushed instantly.

"Shopkeeper Shen's small writing is really beautiful." Wan Tongjiao smiled, "Does Shopkeeper Shen think I sing well?" ”

"Good...... Good to listen to......" Shen Linfang, who was honest, wiped the sweat from his forehead and stammered.

"Miss Wantong is thirsty?" Shen Mi's voice sounded behind Wan Tong, startling Wan Tong with a thrill.

"Hostess." Wan Tong turned around and bowed slightly, "The boss lady is busy first, I'll go and get ready to go on stage." After saying that, Wan Tong quickly left the counter.

"This girl ......" Shen Mi looked up and down at Wan Tong's back as she left, put the tea tray on the counter with no light or weight in her hand, and turned to look at Shen Linfang, "You'd better stay away from this girl." ”

"Yes, yes, Madame." Shen Linfang wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Zhang Hua, you quickly send this letter to Lingcheng, and you must hand it over to Zhang An yourself." Zhang Qingyan summoned Zhang Hua, the only servant left by his side.

"Master, there is only one and a half old scholar left by your side except me, if I go again, what if you make a mistake on the road." Zhang Hua was Zhang Qingyan's companion when he was studying, although he was not the manager of Zhang's mansion at this time, he was also a personal servant that Zhang Qingyan could not do without.

"It's okay, I don't think I'm powerless, so who cares about me as a criminal?" Zhang Qingyan smiled bitterly, "You can deliver the letter as soon as possible." "Since the holy order issued by the demotion official came to the mansion, Zhang Qingyan knew that now all hopes could only be pinned on Zhang Wan alone, and at this time, there really can't be any mistakes.

Zhang Hua sighed and said, "Take care, master." With that, he turned and left.

"Zhang Xing." Zhang Qingyan watched Zhang Hua walk away, and called the scholar in a low voice, "Zhang Xing, you take this letter, turn around and go to Licheng, be sure to hand over the letter to Chen Xiao, and urge him to dig the tunnel as soon as possible." This is what Yue Shumei explained to Zhang Qingyan when she left, and Zhang Qingyan didn't dare to slack off.

"Take it off! Take off! Take off! There was a burst of cheers from the audience, a pair of two-color squinting eyes stared at Wan Tong who was half-exposed on the stage, and his saliva mouth shouted, instigating Wan Tong to take off the light veil outside.

Wan Tong sat on the stage with a pipa in his arms, shaking a pair of small feet, looking at a group of perverts under the stage with silky eyes, and his heart was full of pride. She finally overshadowed Qiu Tang's limelight. The corners of Wan Tong's mouth were lightly raised, and the slender jade fingers pushed the light yarn off one shoulder, and smiled coquettishly, attracting cheers from the audience. Silver bills, pearls, agate, hairpin rings, jewelry, crackling and throwing one.

Wan Tong glanced at Qiu Tang and Fei'er on the side from the corner of his eye, and snorted lightly, his face full of disdain. fluttering ten thousand blessings, the light yarn on the other shoulder also slipped off, the whole gauze was gently carried on the lotus arm, the breeze hit, fluttering and falling, hooking everyone in the audience couldn't stop.

Qiu Tang looked at everything that happened in front of him coldly, and there was no turmoil in his heart. Fei'er, who was sitting on the side, held the brocade box that Luan Pu'an had just sent, pulled Qiutang's sleeve, and whispered: "Sister, how can Sister Wantong take off her clothes in public."

"Don't look at it." Qiu Tang stretched out his hand to block Fei'er's sight, and by the way, he broke back her face, "Come, sister, help you put on the step shake that the city lord gave you today." ”

"My sister is making fun of me again!" Qiu Tang's words made Fei'er blush. Xue Bowen hasn't been to the teahouse for a long time, but he still sends Luan Pu'an a box of jewelry every day, what Xue Bowen means, anyone with a discerning eye knows it.

"Sent?" Xue Bowen couldn't wait to ask Luan Pu'an, who had just entered the door.

"Don't worry, sir." Luan Pu'an replied.

"Alas......" After listening to Luan Pu'an's words, Xue Bowen sat down in the rattan chair and sighed long, "What kind of life do you say I have lived?" ”

Luan Pu'an closed the door of the study with his hand back and poured a cup of tea for Xue Bowen: "What do you command?"

"Forget it, lest you kill her again." Xue Bowen shook his head and said with a wry smile.

Xue Bowen blamed himself for not having the ability, his family was poor back then, and in order to study and take the official exam, he had to rely on his rich father-in-law, just because of this, he didn't stand up straight in front of his father-in-law to speak, and finally boiled the old man to death, and now this original wife has become a cannibal dominatrix again.

"My lord, I have a plan for my humble position, I don't know ......" Luan Pu'an thought and didn't know whether to say it or not.

"Say!" Xue Bowen was like a person who had fallen into the water and grabbed a life-saving straw, and he came to his senses in an instant.

"Your Excellency, you can ......" Luan Pu'an leaned down and whispered in Xue Bowen's ear.

"Begonia." Mother Xu looked at the three gold-painted boxes on the table, her face sank like water, "I heard that the teahouse is very lively today." ”

"Yes. It's very lively. Fei'er and Wantong also got a lot of tips. Qiu Tang stood in front of Xu's mother and replied with his hand down.

"Qiu Tang, you have never lied to me, tell me, how did Fei'er and Wantong's jewelry come from?" Mother Xu leaned back on the chair, playing with a string of agate bracelets in her hand, squinting and looking at Qiu Tang.

"Fei'er was sent by the Xue City Lord to let Luan catch the head, Wantong's ......" Qiu Tang was a little reluctant to say, after all, when he was a child, his mother warned him many times not to chew the root of his tongue.

"What's wrong with Wan Tong?" Mother Xu sat up straight and opened her round eyes.

“…… She ...... "Qiu Tang really can't open her mouth," she took off her clothes. After struggling for a long time, Qiu Tang still said it.

"She's sensible." Mother Xu sneered and said, "Okay, you go, Mr. is waiting for you." ”

"Yes." Qiu Tang Wanfu left.

"Master Quan," Mother Xu looked at Qiu Tang's back and asked Pearl to invite Wu Quan, "Wantong, this girl keeps an eye on it, don't let her go the old way of green bamboo." If you really can't take care of it, let Mother Liu take her away. ”

"Mom, don't worry." Quan Ye answered, took two small servants, carried whips, walked out of Linglong Pavilion, and walked towards the piano hall.

"Master Luan, look, how good the small courtyard is these two in, it's clean and not noisy." A man in a coarse blue cloth short coat was walking around a house with Luan Pu'an.

"It's not bad, isn't this house clean?" Luan Pu'an looked at this exquisite courtyard and was very satisfied.

"Why isn't it clean? Luan Ye laughed. Luan Ye will take a look in my backyard?" The man laughed with him and led Luan Pu'an to the backyard.

"I'm asking you, have you ever died in this house." Luan Pu'an saw that the man did not answer the question positively, and he was slightly unhappy in his heart.

"Luan Ye," the man pounced and fell to his knees, "Luan Ye, don't be scared, don't say that you have ever died, not even a mouse." ”

"Forgive me and don't dare to lie. Get up. Go and check it out. Luan Pu'an sneered.

"The villain doesn't dare to lie. Luan Ye please. Seeing that Luan Pu'an didn't ask any more, the man got up and led Luan Pu'an into the backyard.

Passing through a full moon arch, you enter the backyard of the house. The backyard is a small garden, the place is not big, but the layout is complete, a small goldfish pond, a pavilion with bells hanging at the four corners, a winding stone road, and a large number of flowers competing for fresh and colorful.

"It's a good house." Luan Pu'an nodded, "What about the title deed and the house deed?"

"Here, please take a look at Lord Luan." The man took out two pieces of paper from his arms and handed them over.

"Okay, take the money, and this house will have nothing to do with you in the future." Luan Puan took out a silver bag from his bosom and handed it to the man, "There are eighty taels of silver inside, the farther you go with the silver, the better." If you dare to tell me about buying your house, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." As soon as the man finished speaking, he held the heavy silver bag and ran out of the house.

Luan Pu'an watched the man run away, put the title deed in his arms, turned around and walked out of the house, locked the door, and went straight to Linglong Pavilion.

"Master, just take a sip." Qingxing took the fetal pills that had been heated two or three times, and knelt beside Zhang Wan's feet to persuade.

"What do I drink it for." The overnight changes in her mother's family made Zhang Wan have no desire to live. She hated, hated her sister water-based Yanghua, hated Mu Jianyu's cold-blooded affection, and even hated her and Mu Jianyu's children in her belly.

"Master, even if it's not for the sake of the child in your belly, you have to take a sip for the sake of your mother's family." Qingxing continued to persuade, Zhang Wan has been in such a mess for a few days, and everyone has been deformed, and there is no blood on her face.

"Mother's house? Who else is in my mother's house today? Daddy was assigned, I don't know if he is dead or alive, my sister did such an ugly thing, what face do I have to live in this world. Zhang Wan burst into tears as she spoke.

"Master, you listen to the slave and maid's advice, and the saint has not condemned you, which means that you still have affection in the saint's heart, and you still have children, if you make good use of this affection, regain favor, and take the master back to the holy city again." Qing Xing said and held the fetal pill in front of Zhang Wan.

Zhang Wan looked at her haggard face reflected in the dark brown decoction in the bowl, her heart trembled slightly, and she was silent for a long time and said, "Okay, I'll drink it."

"Mother Xu." Luan Pu'an stepped into the Linglong Pavilion.

"Master Luan, why do you have time to come to me today? Have a seat. When Mother Xu heard the voice, she greeted her and led Luan Pu'an to sit down, "Tea on the pearl." ”

"Mother Xu, look at this." Luan Pu'an handed over the title deed and house deed.

"What is this?" Mother Xu took it for some reason, and when she saw the content clearly, Mother Xu looked at Luan Pu'an with some hesitation, "What does Master Luan mean?" ”

"Mother Xu," Luan Pu'an took a sip of tea and smiled slightly, "When I heard that the girl Qiu Tang was famous in Lingcheng, a young man in white gave a sedan chair and a piano. ”

"This ......" Mother Xu was a little difficult, after all, compared with the sedan chair and pipa, the weight of the house is a bit heavy. Mother Xu thought about it again and again and decided to ask which master had fallen in love with Fei'er, "Master Luan, the old man dares to ask, who is this master?" ”

"Then does Mother Xu know who the person who gave Miss Qiutang a sedan chair?" Luan Puan asked rhetorically.

"In that case, the old man has thanked this master for Miss Fei'er." Mother Xu got up and was blessed.

"Mother Xu, hurry up and be polite, this master hopes that Miss Fei'er will live in that house in the future, and I also hope that Mother Xu will bother to arrange it."

"This ......" Xu's mother was a little embarrassed.
