Chapter 264: Jiu'er's Condition
Before Zhou Chang could speak, Jiu'er sneered at the servant: "Why, I used to be Sister Yao, but now I can't do it if I'm good?" ”
Turning to look at Zhou Chang again, Jiu'er said with a dripping voice: "My lord, the concubine was born poor, and her father was a gambler, so he sold the little girl into the land of fireworks and made a living by selling her body."
Every day is ushered in, and you have to smile when you see people, but that is not the original intention of the little woman at all.
Now, the governor is wise enough to seal up all the Fengyue places on the banks of the Qinhuai River, and the little woman is relying on this embroidery craft to make a living.
Now, they even say that the little woman is doing that pickled thing.
Is it that if a woman from the land of fireworks is waiting for me, as long as she shows up, you will say that we are picking up customers? ”
As she spoke, Jiu'er looked at Zhou Chang with blank eyes, her eyes full of grievances.
Hearing Jiu'er say this, Zhou Chang's brows furrowed even deeper.
In his heart, Zhou Chang didn't know that this Jiu'er in front of him was acting, but even if he caught the rape, he had to catch it on the spot.
Now Jiu'er's excuse is reasonable, and Zhou Chang really can't find a suitable reason to refute it for a while.
After settling down, Zhou Chang still spoke: "Since the girl has come out of the land of fireworks, why do you have to do such things, isn't it better to find a stable livelihood?" ”
Jiu'er replied: "The little woman also wants to find a more stable livelihood, but the little woman doesn't know anything else except embroidery, and leaves the embroidery building, how does the little woman make a living?"
Could it be that adults are willing to take care of the second half of the little girl's life? ”
As she spoke, Jiu'er's face became a little red, "The adult is handsome, if you don't dislike the background of the little girl, the little girl is willing to serve tea and water for the adult every day......"
Seeing that this Jiu'er kicked his nose a little in the face, Zhou Chang's face became a little gloomy, and he shouted: "Girl, this official is an official of the imperial court, before you speak, you still have to be cautious!" ”
Zhou Chang has been here for a long time, and even if he has the best patience, he has been exhausted at this time.
Just as he was about to order the forcible sealing of Tianjin Xiulou, Zhou Chang saw a servant hurriedly break in from outside.
"Your Excellency, the Son of Heaven's Luan is about to reach the dock, Lord Governor, please come over as soon as possible!"
"This official knows!" Zhou Chang didn't dare to delay, replied, and went downstairs in a hurry, where can he care about seizing what embroidery building?
After all, as the prefect of Jiangning, if Zhou Chang didn't take over, he was afraid that he would fall into the eyes of his political enemies, and Zhou Chang's behavior would become a complete disrespectful confession.
Therefore, Zhou Chang did not dare to delay the slightest, and when he got out of Tianjinxiu Building, he got on his horse and hurried towards the dock......
In the Tianjinxiu Building, seeing Zhou Chang just taking people away, whether it was Lao Bustard or Jiu'er, they all looked at each other a little.
They never thought that Zhou Chang would just leave.
But that's a good thing.
Now, Zhao Chenyang, the big proprietor behind Tianjin Xiulou, is also in the ranks of taking over, and he has no leisure to estimate a mere embroidery building.
If Zhou Chang really ordered the Tianjin Xiulou to be forcibly sealed, even if Zhao Chenyang came forward afterwards, the Tianjin Xiulou would inevitably suffer huge losses.
Of course, some money, Tianjin Xiulou is not in their eyes, what they care more about is naturally their own signboard.
Just imagine, the Tianjin Splendid Building, which has the support of a big backer behind it, can be easily seized, so how can they set up the signboard of the first Fengyue place in Jiangning Mansion in the future?
After Zhou Chang left for a long time, Jiu'er came back to his senses and smiled at the old bustard: "Mom, how can you thank me for today's incident?" ”
The bustard smiled, "What do you want?" As long as my mother can do it, I will not refuse! ”
"What I want to do, my mother can do!" Jiu'er Jiao smiled: "As long as my mother returns my deed of sale!" ”
"This ......" Hearing Jiu'er's request, the old bustard suddenly hesitated.
Jiu'er smiled: "Mom, don't worry, I did this just for the future, and in a short period of time, I won't leave Tianjinxiu Building." ”
"That's good! That's it! "Jiu'er is the best prostitute in the entire Jiangning Mansion Fengyue Place, if she leaves Tianjinxiu Building like this, the old bustard is really reluctant.
But what Jiu'er did today is indeed to save Tianjin Xiulou once, if the old bustard doesn't say anything, I'm afraid that other prostitutes will feel cold when they know about it.
When the time comes, who will try to attract customers?
The next time someone from the government comes to Tianjinxiu Tower, who will go all out to help?
Therefore, for Jiu'er's request, which is not too much, the old bustard still agrees in his heart.
What's more, the old bustard also knew that Jiu'er didn't have much money in his hands, and if he left Tianjinxiu Building at this time, he was afraid that it wouldn't be long before the money would run out.
The bustard is convinced of this.
The women who are messing around in Fengyue places, although they make a living by selling jokes, their food, clothing, housing and transportation are all the best choices.
It is said that it is easy to go from poor to rich, and it is difficult to go from rich to poor.
Once a large amount of income is cut off, Jiu'er wants to maintain the current standard of living, but I am afraid that it will be difficult.
Therefore, after seeing Jiu'er say this, Lao Bustard was not worried that Jiu'er would leave Tianjinxiu Building after taking the deed of sale.
……
said that Zhou Chang finally arrived at the dock before Zhang Lingyang's Luan arrived.
Seeing that Zhou Chang was late, Jiangsu Governor Li Yaoshi frowned and asked, "Why did you come at this time?" ”
With a wry smile, Zhou Chang stepped forward and explained in a low voice: "Just now, Xiaguan got the information, saying that it was called Tianjin Xiulou, which was actually a place of Fengyue, so Xiaguan took people to go there......"
"Have you ever held it?" After listening to Zhou Chang's explanation, Pharmacist Li asked.
Zhou Chang shook his head and said, "No! As soon as the lower official was about to give the order to take people, the people you sent rushed over, for fear of delaying the pick-up, and the lower officials did not take people! ”
Hearing this, Pharmacist Li frowned and asked, "When will the old man send someone to urge you?" ”
"Isn't it an adult?"
Pharmacist Li and Zhou Chang looked at each other.
But I saw that at this moment, Zhao Chenyang, the political envoy of Jiangsu, was looking at the two of them with a smug face.
Even if they are stupid, where do they not know that the people who went to urge Zhou Chang to come over are the people of Zhao Chenyang's family?
"This old fox!" Pharmacist Li scolded secretly, but on the surface, he remained silent.
has been an official for many years, and Pharmacist Li still has this kind of self-cultivation.
As for Zhou Chang, he didn't dare to say anything.
Although Zhou Chang took people to investigate Tianjin Xiulou, in the final analysis, it was still the two bigwigs Li Yaoshi and Zhao Chenyang who fought each other, and as for Zhou Chang, he was at most a bigger minion.
Whether it is Pharmacist Li or Zhao Chenyang, although Zhou Chang has never been found, no one really puts him, the prefect of Jiangning, in their eyes......
