Chapter 42
Tianwailou.
This is the most prosperous place in Yongning County, and it is also the largest Xiaojin Cave. The top of the red vermilion lacquer door hangs the plaque of black gold nanmu, the cloud top sandalwood in the hall is the beam, the crystal jade is the lamp, the sound of silk and bamboo comes out in the building, the laughter continues, it is really "riding a horse leaning on the bridge, the red sleeves of the building are full of tricks".
But at this moment, the largest Fengya stream in the Tianwai Building is a different scene.
Here is the pavilion facing the window, the upstairs saddle-shaped viewing platform, the downstairs stage cloud sleeves are lightly swinging, the slender waist is slowly twisted, the silk is fluttering, the sheng song is around the beam, there is a big table of ten people with eight immortals in the wind and elegant stream, which is full of moon cakes and dim sum Qionglu wine, the table is long and waiting, but there are only two men sitting at the table, while shaking their heads and listening to the music and enjoying the play, while looking at each other with the corner of their eyes from time to time.
The young scholar on the left is Liang Zheng, who was invited by Li Shiqing today. At this moment, he was watching the singing and dancing on the stage on the surface, but secretly he couldn't help but pay attention to the other side.
That's the man who was green by "himself"......
As a person with grass on his head, he is so kind to his wife's concubine, and he can enjoy singing and dancing comfortably......
There is not the slightest "sneaking behind my wife, every time she walks with a man, she will be like a thorn in the back, but I can't help but not look at it, so I show a fierce look at it, and clench my fists so that my nails are deeply sunk into the flesh", but how can I do it!
Is he really unaware of this, or does he naturally like to be the eighth king?
And Li Shiqing on the right was also secretly looking at Liang Zheng......
Although he was strictly ordered by the altar owner Bao Yong to bring the other party over today, he didn't have the courage to invite Liang Zheng to his house after all-that was simply "luring the wolf into the house"!
However, even in this "Outer Building", drinking at the same table with this man who wears a green hat for himself still makes him feel like a pins and needles.
But after all, he is also a person who has been crawling and rolling in the officialdom for many years, and the ups and downs of the perennial sea have already developed Li Shiqing's ability to be happy and angry, so although he can't wait to pick up the wine jug in his hand and smash it on the other party's head at this moment, there is no resentment on his face.
Soon, the peeking glances at each other finally met inadvertently, and the two men with different minds invariably erupted into a dry laugh without nutrition.
"Aha~Aha~ Lord Liang - please!" Li Shiqing took the lead in raising his wine glass and drank it all.
"Li Yuanwai is really polite."
Liang Zheng only tasted it lightly, the other party's intentions were unclear, and there were all kinds of suspicions, he didn't dare to drink more, but the other party didn't say anything, and it was difficult for him to ask the truth, so he had to chat with him.
However, this stuffy gourd didn't last long......
Soon, when Li Shiqing raised his glass for the third time, the door of Feng Yajian was pushed open again, and the twelve girls who walked in with a cigarette each had a tray in their hands, on which were neatly stacked with yellow and clear ingots and gold ingots, and the dazzling light reflected all over the room under the candlelight.
Liang Zheng was stunned: "Li Yuanwai, what are you ......?" β
"Your Excellency doesn't have to be suspicious," Li Shiqing smiled hehehe, "These are all a little bit of the old man's thoughts, thank you for your life-saving grace." β
"A life-saving grace?"
"The adults don't know that the dog is studying in Qi County, and somehow he offended the red lady and was branded with the soul detention order of Jigong Mountain. The old man is hard to sleep and eat for this~~"
"Ah......h
"The old man is such a son, if he has three long and two short, wouldn't he want the white-haired man to send the black-haired man? How can the old man survive? Thanks to the heroic and decisive efforts of the adults, they cleaned up the ringing horses in Jigong Mountain, didn't this save the old man's life? Li Shiqing sighed.
He does have a son, Li Xin, who has been sent to Qixian County for a study tour since he was a child, and is not by his side now, but the Soul Detention Order is a nonsense fabrication, purely to find an excuse for bribing Liang Zheng.
He investigated it about the ground, and knew that Liang Zheng had exhausted his family funds in preparing for the group exercise, and now was the time when he was short of money.
He wasn't wrong......
Because before he finished his words, Su Qinghe and Xu Hu, who were standing behind Liang Zheng, had already flashed a bright light in their eyes.
Especially Su Qinghe, he is the manager of the Liang Mansion, in addition to preparing for Liang Zheng's group training, he also handles all the finances of the Liang family.
This amount of money is at least enough to support the whole group's salary for a year.
However, Liang Zheng still hesitated and groaned......
Of course, he also understands what the so-called "life-saving grace" means, but what he doesn't understand is that Li Shiqing bribed himself in a good manner.
His own "regimental training chief soldier" may be a great "adult" in the eyes of others, but what Wu Dalie has done, Li Shiqing's original name is Li Jingbai, and he used to be the governor of Shandong and the secretary of the military department, although he has retired now, how can he not know that his "chief soldier" has no rank, no real power, and no civil affairs - it is equivalent to not being able to fight with him with eight poles.
Then the meaning of the silver he gave himself is very intriguing......
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!
"Li Yuanwai is too polite." After pondering for a moment, Liang Zheng stood up and said quietly, "Since I am under the heavy responsibility of the imperial court to protect one party, it is a matter of duty to clean up the horses, which is not a miracle, why should the outsiders see the outside like this?" β
Li Shiqing's face sank involuntarily!
He is a person who has been in officialdom for a long time, how can he not hear that Liang Zheng's tone is not an ordinary politeness? But he couldn't think of why a person who was already financially strapped would refuse this pie that fell from the sky.
But that's okay......
Fortunately, he still has a second hand to prepare!
At this time, the silk strings of the sheng flute on the stage gradually stopped, the singing and dancing had stopped, only the sound of the Zheng flute lingered faintly around the beam, and for a moment of silence, the whole building broke out into a burst of applause and cheers. Li Shiqing glanced behind him, and a little bustard immediately understood, quietly retreated, and after a while, he arrived at the stage downstairs, and he muttered to the old bustard and didn't know what to say, and the old bustard suddenly smiled.
At this time, the two dancing girls on the stage had just closed the curtain, and the old bustard waved at them, and then took the road up to the second floor Fengyajian and said to Liang Zheng with a thousand blessings:
"The grass people have admired the demeanor of adults for a long time, but because of the disparity in position, they don't dare to make a meeting, I don't want the adults to move to my outer building today, the grass people are rude, it's really damn damn - Xiao Yue, Xiao Zhao, I haven't come to see Lord Liang!"
"Blessed Lord Liang." The two dancing girls looked forward to it, and Ying Yingfu went down.
Liang Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw that the two daughters were wearing the same jujube flower Luo Bi tight-sleeved shirt, and Wu Aya's pants were small and exquisite, and they looked more and more Luo Shen and hibiscus, but what was even more strange was that the two of them were not only dressed the same, but they all looked exactly the same, with eyebrows like mountains, Yao nose like Qiong, and a pair of autumn water on a mutton fat jade-like face as clear as blue waves, and Liang Zheng's eyes were connected, and he lowered his head shyly.
"These two women are Qingqi'er raised by Tianwailou since childhood, and they specialize in supporting the table," Li Shiqing glanced at Liang Zheng, "I see that the adults' mansions are all men, and there is no one around who knows the cold and the heat, so it is better to buy them and give them to the adults, and there will be someone to serve in the morning and evening." β
Hearing him say this, Liang Zheng's heart sank, and he was even more suspicious!
Send money and send women, and make a generous shot, needless to say the gold, since the two dancing girls in front of them are the pillars used to support the faΓ§ade of Tianwailou, they must have spent blood to raise, not to mention their temperament, they will definitely be the Oiran in this building in the future, to redeem them, this silver must not be spent like flowing seawater?
What the hell is this guy trying to do, but he refuses to say it clearly, so he has to play dumb riddles with himself......
Who would dare to accept such a grand gift with an unknown purpose?
He subconsciously just wanted to shake his head, but unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, he met Li Shiqing's eyes......
The eyes were burning and hot, and there was anticipation, anxiety, shame, and fear...... As if he was afraid that he would not agree, he couldn't help but feel a move in his heart:
What is he doing so nervously? I didn't seem to see him so concerned when I gave the silver just now......
Could it be that these two women ......
He looked at the two dancing girls again, Liang Zheng didn't take a closer look just now, but this time he couldn't help but be surprised!
The skin is like clotted fat, the head of the mantis is like the eyebrows, the eyes are like autumn waves, and the teeth are like rhinoceros...... Isn't this alive and carved out according to Sun Zixian's mold?
In fact, the second daughter's appearance and eyebrows are only three points similar to Sun Zixian, but Liang Zheng had this idea preconceivedly, but he couldn't help but look more and more like it, and at the same time, the question that he had been puzzled with in his heart also had an answer!
It turns out that this "cuckold king" knows that his original body and his wife are hooking up, so he put on such a show......
sent money, and sent women, and the woman who looked a little like Sun Zixian was sent......
Isn't this obvious or telling yourself: "Lao Tzu also gave money, and women also gave it, please stay away from my wife in the future"?
No wonder his eyes are like that, for fear that he will refuse, if he shakes his head, it will imply that "these women are not looked down upon, Lao Tzu just likes to be the king next door"......
On the other hand, Li Shiqing's nerves are also stretched to the top!
These two women named Xiao Yue and Xiao Zhao are the highlight of tonight!
They are none other than the secret party of the Henan branch of the White Lotus Sect, and they are the stakes that Bao Yongqian told him to find a way to stuff next to Liang Zheng.
The White Lotus Sect operates dismally, and every time it recruits disciples, it will select young men and women with good looks from among them to cultivate, or break into all walks of life to work for the Maitreya Sect, or bury themselves in the vicinity of dignitaries and dignitaries to spy on the news, and even control them.
At that time, Bao Yong originally arranged for two other people, but Li Shiqing insisted that these two people were more in line with Liang Zheng's preferences.
If nothing else, just because their eyebrows and eyes have a bit of Sun Zixian's shadow, and in his eyes, Liang Zheng and Sun Zixian have an affair, so Liang Zheng's taste in picking women is self-evident......
Now seeing Liang Zheng's suddenly realized expression, he knows that he has made the right bet!
The two of them had their own thoughts, and they both thought they understood each other's thoughts, looked at each other, and then laughed out loud "tacitly".
"How? These two women, are you still satisfied? Li Shiqing asked nervously.
He couldn't help but be nervous......
People are chosen by themselves, Bao Yong saw that he dared to refute his reply, he was already unhappy with the boss, and even left cruel words when he left:
"If the person you choose, if the surname is Liang, don't ...... Get ready to send Madame out. β
But Liang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.
"In this case, it is better to be respectful than to obey fate." He replied with a slight swipe and a smile.
I don't know what to do with Sun Zixian, this reason is good, and I can use this as an excuse to break off this bad fate.
