When Liang Yuesong heard about it, he also said solemnly: "This is a good thing, I seriously agree. What does Wanyuan need me to do? ”

Zhou Fuliu reminded: "If the case is overturned, Miss Youlan must come forward, this salt smuggling case was a big case back then, involving many senior officials in the DPRK and the Central Committee, pushing Youlan forward, I am afraid that she will be in danger." So I'll discuss this matter with you, and now I want to tell Youlan. ”

Hearing Zhou Fuliu say this, Liang Yuesong was also in trouble for a while. He pondered for a long time before saying, "I think it's better to tell her about this, but not now." Since the acquaintance of the Huai'an Branch of the Two Huai Salt Divisions has impeached my cheap father, the court will inevitably react. Doesn't my mother have an older brother who is an official in the household department? I think I should first inquire about the direction of the imperial court, especially the attitude of the cabinet and the emperor, and then choose the opportunity to tell Youlan. Then after some planning, and then take action, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. ”

He Zhiyuan and Zhou Fuliu sighed at the same time, it was really "three stinkers on the top of Zhuge Liang." "The ancients did not deceive me. I have to say that Liang Yuesong's method is more secure.

After that, Liang Yuesong said with some embarrassment: "How can I send a message to Miss Youlan?" If I go to Qunfang Building again, let my cheap dad know that it will be another scolding. ”

He Zhiyuan said confidently: "This thing is easy to do, now that Yueji and Youlan in my house have become good friends, let Yueji help spread the word." ”

Half an hour later, with a satisfied smile, Liang Yuesong took a large bag and a small bag purchased by Wu Xiangyue, and got into the carriage and returned to his residence.

The next morning, Zhou Fuliu took two family members to Qunfang Building. At this time, it was the quietest time of the day in Qunfang Building, and some girls who waited for guests to play late at night had not gotten up yet.

Since the last trade fair, the current Zhou Fuliu is also a celebrity in Juzhou City. A middle-aged turtle slave with a shrunken face didn't dare to slack off when he saw Miss Zhou coming with her family. Hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smiling face: "Miss Zhou, you are a rare guest, you came early this morning, but you came to ask Miss Youlan for help?" ”

Zhou Fuliu looked at the smiling miscellaneous slave and maid, and felt disgusted. said coldly: "I won't look for Miss Youlan this time, I came to talk to your mother Ning about things." ”

When the handyman heard that he was looking for Ning's mother, he took Zhou Fuliu to a secluded room in the backyard. beckoned the slave maid to serve tea and snacks, and then said with a smile: "Miss Zhou, you wait for a while." I'll go to Tongyu Ning's mother. ”

After a long time, Ning's mother walked in from the outside with her fat waist twisted from the outside, and her face was still full of tiredness, obviously she had just gotten up.

Mother Ning opened her fat and tender white face, revealing a professional, signature smile, and swayed a handkerchief in her right hand and said to Zhou Fuliu: "Ouch, it's Miss Zhou who is here." I said how come I heard the magpie calling outside my house early in the morning, it turned out that Miss Zhou was here, and I heard that there was something to talk to me? Miss Zhou is going to ask a few girls to help this time? ”

After saying that, he flattered Miss Zhou to refill the tea herself, and sat down on the round stool next to her, which was overwhelmed and made a terrible creaking sound.

Since the last trade fair, Zhou Fuliu invited a few girls from here to be helpers

After the old bustard got a considerable amount of silver, he looked forward to Miss Zhou coming to the door again every day.

Zhou Fuliu picked up the teacup, took a sip of the tea poured by Mother Ning herself, and then said with a smile: "Mother Ning, I didn't come to ask the girl for help this time, I was going to redeem people." ”

"Ransom? Which family's son-in-law has taken a fancy to the girl in my building, and he has to bother Miss Zhou to come. The old bustard asked suspiciously.

"It's not a son who has a crush on the girl in your building, it's me who has a crush on the girl in your upstairs." Zhou Fuliu said with a smile.

The smile on Mother Ning's face froze suddenly, thinking to herself, is Miss Zhou still good at "grinding mirrors"? But the stiff smile on her face disappeared immediately, and she said with a bright smile: "I don't know which girl is so blessed that Miss Zhou has taken a fancy to her?" ”

Zhou Fuliu noticed Ning's mother's stiff smile, and understood the meaning of her smile, and couldn't help but feel sick in her heart, what kind of person is it. But she didn't care, and then said: "Youlan girl is very proficient in piano, chess, and painting, and she is a very talented girl, I plan to take her with me and be the image spokesperson of my Zhouji Department Store in the future." ”

When Mother Ning heard that it was Youlan, she immediately put on a bitter gourd face and said embarrassedly: "Miss Youlan, she is the pillar of our building. I've been raising her for so many years, and I still haven't combed it up. Some rich sons paid 2,000 taels of silver to comb for her, but I was not willing to do so. ”

She said this is pure nonsense. Even on the banks of the Qinhuai River in Nanjing, the Oiran in the general building, the first time to pick up customers, the most money given by the benefactor is only 1,000 taels. In such a small place, can there be such a loser's son-in-law brother who pays two thousand taels of silver, just to let the Oiran of Qunfanglou accompany & sleep for one night? Even if you buy a high-quality Yangzhou thin horse, it is only 1,500 taels of silver. She said this completely because Miss Zhou was a young woman and bullied her for not understanding the market.

Zhou Fuliu is such a shrewd person, she had already inquired about the price before she came. For this line of work is clear. She laughed and said, "Mother Ning is really joking, I heard that the Dongmei girl in the building last year combed five hundred taels of silver, right?" At that time, Dongmei was also the Oiran in the building, right? I heard that Youlan would rather die than comb it, where did he get the two thousand taels of silver to comb it up? ”

Mother Ning's lie was exposed, and she laughed awkwardly and said, "Ouch, Miss Zhou didn't expect you to care so much about these affairs in our group." But how can the Youlan girl be comparable to Dongmei? As you said earlier, she is proficient in piano and chess, let alone her appearance. You can't find a second girl like this in Qingzhou Mansion. ”

Zhou Fuliu didn't want to rub her tongue with this old bustard anymore, so she asked directly: "You can just say a price, how much silver does it take to redeem her?" ”

Mother Ning saw that Zhou Fuliu was a little impatient, and she didn't dare to be verbose, she rolled her eyes and then said: "Five years ago, the old man bought her from Jiangnan for two thousand taels of silver, and in the past five years, she has been provided with food, clothing and shelter, and taught her to learn from female red, and invited various teachers to teach her skills, and the silver spent is five thousand taels. I'm sixteen years old now, and it's supposed to be time to comb and pick up customers, but this dead girl doesn't agree, I hurt her in vain. If Miss Zhou is willing to redeem her, she will give 10,000 taels of silver. ”

Zhou Fuliu saw that the old bustard was running the train with his mouth full, without a word of truth, and no longer polite, she said directly: "You really lie and don't bring a draft, buying a high-grade thin horse from Jiangnan is only 1,500 taels of silver at most, why did it become 2,000 taels to you?" The Youlan girl was born in a family of eunuchs, but her family was unfortunate and she fell into the dust. She learned piano, chess, and painting because of the original family education and later training in the Teaching Workshop Division, but she did not learn these skills at all when she arrived in Juzhou. Am I telling the truth? ”

Mother Ning smiled awkwardly again, still cheekily and said, "Oh, Miss Zhou knows everything." The old body doesn't want you to make a false price, so you can give eight thousand taels. ”

Zhou Fuliu thought to himself that eight thousand taels was not a false price, this old bustard was crazy about silver. So, he simply bargained directly: "Two thousand taels!" ”

When Mother Ning heard this offer, she pretended to be more distressed than stabbing her heart with a knife and shouted, "Oh, Miss Zhou, how can you bargain like this?" You're going to have an old body! The old body worked so hard to raise her so big, and you only gave two thousand silver to send her away? This girl hasn't earned a tael of silver here except for spending my money. ”

Zhou Fuliu felt very funny when she saw her exaggerated appearance, and continued: "Mother Ning, I also said just now that the top-grade Yangzhou thin horse is only 1,500 taels of silver, and Youlan has been with you for five years, and it will cost a few hundred taels of silver at most." You said that she didn't earn you a tael of silver, this is nonsense, but it is the truth that she didn't comb it, so don't you earn money for eating with guests and singing songs? For the sake of your hard work in raising her for the past few years, add another five hundred taels, which is already a high price. ”

Ning Bustard's head shook like a rattle, and he said again and again: "No, no, five thousand taels, no less." ”

"Three thousand taels can't be more." Zhou Fuliu replied-for-tat.

Hearing about three thousand taels, Ning Bustard was happy in her heart, although she didn't let it, but the price of three thousand taels had reached her psychological price. She rolled her eyes and came up with another idea: "Youlan, this girl is the daughter of a criminal official, and her father's case was decreed by the emperor back then." It will take some trouble to get her out of the country. If Miss Zhou adds another 1,000 taels of silver, I will help you open up the joints of the Nanjing Teaching Department and give her a naturalization. What do you think? ”

The daughter of a criminal official like Youlan is an official prostitute when she becomes a slave, and it is indeed a troublesome thing to get out of the country, which can only be handled through the consent of the Department of Education of the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing, and it is not like He Zhiyuan said that you can handle it by looking for Liang Wensheng. If you find a way to do it yourself, it will indeed take some troubles, and a thousand taels of silver may not be able to do it. And people like Lao Bustard have a close relationship with the Department of Education, so of course they are familiar with this kind of thing.

It was Zhou Fuliu who immediately agreed to Ning's mother's request.

After the price was negotiated, Ning's mother called Youlan again and asked her if she was willing to leave her nationality and follow Liang, Congliang is a good thing that every official prostitute looks forward to day and night, and besides, Yueji had already given her a pass yesterday, and Youlan was of course a hundred willing.

Subsequently, he handed over the silver on the spot and issued a redemption document, as for the document of leaving the country and becoming good, it can only be obtained after the approval of the teaching department.

At this point, the Youlan girl, who has been in the dust for eight years, finally jumped out of the sea of suffering and officially left the country to become a good person.
