Chapter Forty-Three: The Little Traitor Corrupts the Qing Dynasty Officials (II)

"I'm, at me!" Hui'er had a small face, angrily raised her legs and kicked open the door of her boudoir, rushed in and grabbed the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk and smashed it all over the ground, after falling all over the ground, Hui'er was still angry, and rushed to the flower stand and kicked the flower stand over, until the six flower stands and flower pots in the room were all kicked over and smashed, the little girl was angry for a while, and stood in the room with a straight face and sulked. None of the five or six maids in the room dared to go up to persuade the little aunt and grandmother, but silently cleaned up the objects that were smashed by Hui'er.

"Get out, get out of here!" Hui'er tore open her throat and shouted, all the maids in the room were obedient, and they all quit the room when they heard the words. Only Li Yuliang, who had just entered Suofu as a maid, was not afraid of this future queen - mainly because he didn't understand the rules, not only did he not quit, but he also asked Hui'er's little girl: "Miss, what's wrong with you?" Isn't it just a carp bloodshot soup? Can you be so angry? ”

"Humph!" Hui'er snorted and roared viciously: "Isn't it just a carp bloodshot soup?" Ama is eccentric, when the surname Wu was here in the past, there was my favorite carp bloodshot soup every day, but now that the hypocrite surnamed Wu is gone, Ama is reluctant to give me a drink! ”

The carp blood soup that Hui'er said is a famous dish brought to Suofu by Wu Ciyou, which is to hang the golden carp upside down on the tumbling soup pot, break the carp head with a hammer, and the blood flows into the hot soup pot and immediately solidifies, turning into a silk-like blood, a dish can only be made with more than 20 carp, which is very smooth and tender and delicious, and it is also very pleasing to Hui'er's little girl, and every meal is inseparable from this dish. It's a pity that since Wu Ciyou was driven away from Suofu by Wu Yuanming, Hui'er's little girl has rarely eaten this expensive dish, and there is no such dish this morning and noon, which caused the little girl to lose her temper.

"Miss, the lord has been in a bad mood since last night, and when Mr. Li, who was in charge of the accounts, showed the master the account book at home last night, the lord also dropped the teacup, and it seems that something difficult happened, you better bear with it." Li Yuliang persuaded Hui'er, and said to Hui'er dissatisfiedly: "Miss, it's not the slave who said you, Mr. Wu has taught you piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he is also your teacher, please respect him." ”

"Hmph, I know you like that hypocrite, but I hate him!" Hui'er snorted again, pointed at Li Yuliang and reprimanded: "Remember, I am the master, you are a slave, I won't bother with you this time, don't talk to me like this next time!" Otherwise I've got you to look good! Speaking of which, Hui'er glanced at Li Yuliang who was wearing a maid's suit, saw that her eyebrows were picturesque and her figure was exquisite, and then looked at her flat figure, she couldn't help but sigh jealously, and said in a low voice: "It's been three days, why hasn't he come to you yet?" ”

"Him?" Li Yuliang misunderstood what Hui'er meant, lowered his head, and sighed with a red face: "He is a prisoner of the imperial court who worships himself, and he hides in Tibet every day, so when did he come to find me?" I don't even know where he's hiding now, and there's no way to find him ....... Besides, if he has Aunt Su Mala by his side, he won't think of me....... ”

"Bah, you think I mean that hypocrite Wu Ciyou? I'm talking about Brother Wu! Hui'er told the truth in annoyance, "I kept you by my side as a maid because Brother Wu offered to marry you." I think if you are by my side, Brother Wu will definitely come to you often, and I can often see Brother Wu, otherwise, what am I doing with you this clumsy girl by my side? ”

"What?" Li Yuliang never dreamed that Hui'er would keep her by her side for this purpose, and in surprise, Li Yuliang pointed at Hui'er and asked in a trembling voice: "Miss, do you like Wu Yingxiong?" Hui'er's little face was a little red, and she was noncommittal and acquiesced. Li Yuliang's eyes widened, and he stammered and asked, "Miss, are you...... Isn't it confused? You are the future queen and the mother of a future country! You...... You actually like Wu Yingxiong, the dog thief, if this thing gets out, it won't be a big mess in the world? Besides, that Wu Yingxiong has a smooth tone and a despicable character, what's so good? ”

"Don't speak ill of Brother Wu." Hui'er pursed her lips and shook her head: "You misunderstood, I just like to be with Brother Wu, not like the hypocrite surnamed Wu like you like." Among the men I know, all of them are like the hypocrite surnamed Wu, full of benevolence, righteousness, morality, dignity and humility, and they treat me with the attitude of the queen at every turn, and they die of embarrassment. Only Brother Wu is different, he treats me like a sister, I have always wanted such an older brother, so I want to be with him. ”

"I see, miss, you almost scared me to death." Li Yuliang patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, saying in his heart that there was already a queen Hongxing out of the wall in the Qing Dynasty (Note 1), but don't have a second one. Li Yuliang smiled again: "Miss, you left me there because you wanted Wu Xiaothief to meet him when he came to see me, you were going to make a mistake." I have heard Mr. Wu analyze the character of Wu Xiaojiao, Mr. Wu thinks that Wu Xiaothief does not care much about eating, drinking, having fun and women, and only likes the same thing as power, and Wu Xiaothief asked me to marry him that day, but he wanted to humiliate Mr. Wu, not out of sincerity. So, don't expect him to come to me. ”

"Is that so?" Hui'er, who is a small ghost, blinked her eyes wide, and carefully recalled that the scene at that time was indeed the case, Wu Yuanming really had nothing else in his eyes when he looked at Li Yuliang at that time, not even the ** and obscenity that are common in the eyes of ordinary men when they saw Li Yuliang, let alone the love like Wu Ciyou looking at Su Malagu. Thinking about this, Hui'er was not discouraged, but was a little happy, pulled Li Yuliang shorter, leaned into her ear and whispered: "It's okay, anyway, I have another purpose for keeping you by my side, don't you have a martial art?" It just so happened that my Ama was announced by the emperor to enter the palace, so you took me out of the house over the wall and went to play with Brother Wu, okay? ”

"No, no." Li Yuliang shook his head like a rattle, and said in his heart, how many heads do I have? Dare to abduct the future queen out of the house to find other men? Hui'er's little face showed a trace of treachery that did not match her age, and she laughed in a low voice: "Yun Niang, Miss Ben is also giving you a chance to find a hypocrite surnamed Wu, can't you find the whereabouts of surnamed Wu?" Brother Wu was able to find the surname Wu in my house that day, and the surname Wu is now hiding there, Brother Wu may also know, don't you want to inquire about Brother Wu? ”

"This ......." Since he separated from Wu Ciyou on the ninth day of the first lunar month, for three days, Li Yuliang has been thinking about the elegant and handsome Wu Ciyou all the time, and he can't wait to fly to Wu Ciyou's side, and he was instigated by Hui'er like this, and his determination couldn't help but waver a little, and he said in a low voice: "However, that Wu thief may not be at home now, even if we go out secretly, we may not find him?" ”

"It's okay, I know Brother Wu is there." Hui'er smiled mischievously, blinked her big watery eyes and whispered: "Before Ama went out just now, I had a secret conversation with the guards Cao in the palace in the study for a while, and I heard the guards Cao tell Ama that it was Brother Wu who went to General Mulima's house in Jingxi today, and General Mulima also called the troupe, and Brother Wu will definitely have dinner at General Mulima's house tonight, let's go there to find him, and find a quasi." ”

"Mulima, that wreck? Wu Xiaothief made friends with him, and he was really a nest of snakes and rats. Li Yuliang scoffed, and just when he wanted to think about it again, the little girl Hui'er had already taken her hand and slipped out, urging: "Quick, quick, my Ama usually doesn't come back until the evening when I enter the palace, and Prince Jian's Fujin invited my mother to her house." The opportunity is rare, Brother Wu and I will go to the play, and you go to Brother Wu to inquire about the whereabouts of your Brother Wu. ”

"Miss, don't be in such a hurry, you should at least change your clothes, it's inconvenient to move in such clothes." Li Yuliang couldn't resist the temptation to meet Wu Ciyou, and thought that he could completely protect Hui'er with his martial arts, but he was instigated by Hui'er.

…… Let's watch the History and Military Channel of Literature Network, more exciting content is waiting for you! ……

Taking off the cumbersome and inconvenient palace clothes, Li Yuliang and Hui'er changed into two sets of common casual clothes on the street, Hui'er was afraid of the cold, and put on a white fox fur shawl, the snow-white fox fur lined her little face with red protein, which was even more cute. Even Li Yuliang, who is an outstanding beauty, couldn't help but praise: "Our future queen is really beautiful, although the slave maid is a woman, she also wants to kiss Miss." When the young lady grows up, she will definitely be able to fascinate long live the seven meat and eight vegetables, so that the harem has no color for three thousand fandel. ”

Hui'er was originally praised by Li Yuliang quite embarrassed, but when Li Yuliang mentioned Kangxi, Hui'er immediately had a gloomy face, and said resentfully: "Even if you are fascinated by that ugly little pockmark, what's the point?" Li Yuliang was introduced to Kangxi by Hu Gongshan, and knew that Kangxi's appearance was definitely not worthy of Hui'er, seeing that Hui'er was sad and didn't dare to mention this stubble again, he hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Miss, let's go quickly, otherwise if your big brother Wu is not at Mulima's house, you won't run for nothing?" ”

"Yes, yes, let's go." After all, Hui'er was still a little girl under the age of thirteen, so she quickly put her sadness aside, pulled Li Yuliang out of the room, climbed over the wall from the back garden and left Suofu, and hired a carriage to go straight to Tianshuijing Hutong, where Mulima's house was located. There was nothing to say all the way, but when they arrived in front of the gate of Mulima's house, Li Yuliang and Hui'er found that the alley was already full of carriages and sedan chairs, obviously the guests of Mulima's house were not Wu Yuanming alone, Li Yuliang couldn't help but wonder: "Hasn't Mulima's fiftieth birthday passed?" How can there be so many guests? ”

"Whatever, let's go to Brother Wu first." Hui'er jumped out of the carriage, like a bird out of the cage, happily jumping towards the gate, Li Yuliang hurriedly chased after her and grabbed her, "Miss, don't worry, this Mulima is the general Jingxi of the imperial court, we don't have enough reason, and the porter won't let us in." ”

"It's okay, I have a way." Hui'er ran to the doorkeeper of Mulima like a smoke, and shouted at Goshha, who was guarding the door: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, I'm the cousin of Wu Yingxiong, the prince of Pingxi, and I'm going to find my cousin." Goshha, who was guarding the door in front of Mulima's door, saw that Hui'er was beautiful and cute, and her clothes were extremely luxurious, knowing that she was not a mortal, so she said respectfully: "Miss, please come in, the prince is playing with the adults in the East Flower Hall, and the young lady can find the prince when she goes in." ”

"Playing for money? What is Playing Money? When Hui'er heard such a term for the first time, she couldn't help but be a little curious, and then Li Yuliang replied contemptuously: "Playing money is gambling money, and Wu Xiaothief is really not a good thing!" He deserved to die! Who knew that Hui'er didn't care about Li Yuliang's provocation at all, and clapped her little hands and cheered: "Gambling money? It's definitely fun, let's go! With that, he took Li Yuliang and ran to the East Flower Hall.

"Alas, it's so bad!" Contrary to Li Yuliang's expectation that Wu Yuanming lost money, Wu Yuanming's luck today is very good, when Li Yuliang and Hui'er ran into the East Flower Hall, the gambling table just decided a round of victory, as a banker, Wu Yuanming threw two sixes, killing all the players, the gambling table in front of him was already full of white silver, and the four large boxes of silver behind him were piled up. As for the other gamblers, they all lost like dirt, and the chief guard of the big inner guard who was invited to the banquet by Mulima wiped his cold sweat and shouted: "Shizi, your luck is so good today, you have won twenty-seven in a row, I have grown so big, and it is the first time I have seen a dealer with such good luck." ”

"yes, yes, it's the first time I've encountered such good luck." Unlike ordinary dealers who kill all sides, Wu Yuanming, who won the money, was not very happy, and said with a wry smile: "Lord Ne, do you want to borrow a few hundred taels more?" Why don't we play Pai Gow instead? ”

"Of course, the book has to be turned over, and I will borrow another five hundred taels." Nemo shouted: "As for changing pai gow, forget it, it's better to play dice than big and small." Other officials of the Aobai family also expressed that they didn't want to play Pai Gow, but just wanted to play the dice that turned over faster, which made Wu Yuanming's plan to catch 30 deflated tens in a row fall through. At this time, Hui'er jumped up and ran to Wu Yuanming's side, grabbed Wu Yuanming's arm and shouted, "Brother Wu, how do you play with dice?" I'm going to play too! ”

"You are? Hui'er! Wu Yuanming recognized Hui'er for a long time, and shouted in surprise, Hui'er even gave Wu Yuanming a look, and shouted: "My cousin is so bad, I only recognize my cousin now, Hui'er ignores you." ”

"Yes, yes, it's my cousin who is not good." Wu Yuanming replied with a cold sweat. Seeing Li Yuliang following behind Hui'er, when he wanted to whisper to ask Hui'er and Li Yuliang why they suddenly appeared, Hui'er had already grabbed the dice in the dice bowl and threw them, only to hear a dingdong sound, Hui'er had already thrown the smallest two points, and the officials who were losing with blue faces and white mouths immediately cheered, and Ne Mo was still afraid that Wu Yuanming would repay the account, so he shouted first: "Shizi, this is your cousin who threw it for you, it can't be counted." ”

"Of course, of course." Wu Yuanming's face bloomed with a smile, and he was so happy that he really wanted to hug Hui'er and kiss her, waved his hand and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please throw it, as long as it is greater than two points, of course I will compensate!" ”

"Okay, the son of the world is refreshing enough!" Nemo laughed, grabbed the dice and threw them at will, and rolled a three, although it was only a little bit higher than Wu Yuanming's points, the five hundred taels of silver had become one thousand taels. The officials behind all threw out ideas bigger than two points, and Hui'er exported Wu Yuanming's silver to nearly two thousand taels of silver, except for the inexplicable Hui'er herself, including Wu Yuanming, all of them were smiling, and they were all happy.

"Brother Wu, how can you give them your silver?" Hui'er pointed to Wu Lu, who was paying money to the officials, and asked Wu Yuanming strangely. Wu Yuanming was in a very good mood, pinched her tender little face and said with a smile: "Because you stupid girl only threw two points, these uncles and uncles threw bigger ideas than you, so the eldest brother is going to lose the silver." If you roll a bigger idea than theirs, Big Brother can win silver. ”

"I see." Hui'er suddenly realized, clapped her hands and smiled: "Big brother, Hui'er must help you win all the silver back." Saying that, Hui'er grabbed the dice and was about to roll it, but Wu Yuanming hurriedly stopped her, and bitterly poisoned the future flowers of the Great Qing Kingdom and said: "Hui'er, don't be busy, see if you see it, you can only roll it when your uncles and uncles make a good bet." ”

"Is it time to roll?" After the officials placed the bets, Hui'er raised her head and asked. Seeing Wu Yuanming nodding, Hui'er threw the dice, only to see the two dice rolling in the bowl, Hui'er shouted: "Six! Two sixes! It's a pity that it backfired, one of the dice thrown by Hui'er was the first to settle, but it was the smallest one, when Hui'er was deflated, the other dice rolled slowly, and it looked like a six, without waiting for Hui'er to cheer, the dice that had almost settled suddenly turned over and became a point.

"Alas, what a pity." Hui'er sighed and regretted, and the officials cheered again, and couldn't wait to throw their own ideas, because Hui'er threw the smallest point for Wu Yuanming, and Wu Yuanming's hand was naturally a total loss. Wu Yuanming's eyes were sharp, and he glanced at a small movement in Li Yuliang's hand just now, and guessed that it was this little girl who was full of hatred for herself and strong in martial arts hit the dice with a tiny hidden weapon, which made the six points thrown by Hui'er become a point, but Wu Yuanming didn't say anything, just sighed and said: "Hui'er, you can throw it again, if you lose again, you will have to take out this year's New Year's money to compensate your cousin." ”

"Well, I don't believe I'm so unlucky." Hui'er knew Wu Yuanming and Li Yuliang's intentions, and when she made a certain bet, she grabbed the dice and threw them again, but unfortunately Li Yuliang was determined to let Wu Yuanming lose all his money, and Hui'er naturally rolled two more points.

"No, I still have to play! If I lose, I'll pay for next year's New Year's money! Hui'er snatched the dice and rolled it again......

"I'll guarantee the New Year's money for the year after tomorrow!"

"The New Year's money ...... three years later."

As Hui'er got older and older, Wu Yuanming's silver also flowed into the purses of the officials, and the officials also smiled on their faces, Wu Yuanming became more and more happy in his heart, but the expression on his face became more and more sighing. When Hui'er paid Wu Yuanming the New Year's money she had when she was thirty years old, the little girl's beautiful little face was already about to cry, and the four big boxes of silver behind Wu Yuanming and the six boxes of silver that were moved later also bottomed out, and the officials of the Ao Bai family present all won a lot of money, smiling, and even Bamburshan, who had always been gloomy and moody, also showed a rare smile. And Li Yuliang behind Hui'er, although he was silent on the surface, he was smiling back and forth in his heart.

"Brother Wu, how much did I lose your silver in total?" Hui'er asked with a sad face. Wu Yuanming pretended to be uncomfortable and sighed, shook his head and said: "It's not much, I lost more than 30,000 taels of silver, plus the debts that my uncles and uncles originally owed me, you lost a total of 42,000 taels of silver to me." ”

"Forty-two thousand taels of silver?! So much?! Hui'er was dumbfounded, and she was about to cry when she pouted. Next to him, Ne Mo interjected and quipped: "Little girl, don't be sad, your cousin's family has a sea of gold and silver, and more than 40,000 taels of silver is nothing." If you really don't want to go, you can marry your cousin with your own person, and use your people to compensate your cousin. ”

"Don't be joking." Wu Yuanming hurriedly waved his hand to stop it, but who knew that Hui'er, the little girl, hugged Wu Yuanming and shouted: "Okay, as long as Brother Wu dares to marry me, I will definitely marry!" ”
