Chapter 297: Returning Home with Beauty (Part I)
It is not easy to redeem the Qinglou woman registered in the government, especially an Oiran like Yun Yan, not only does it cost a lot, but sometimes it is not just money that can be done, you have to take care of all the people in the yamen, etc., without any favors, and the investment of tens of thousands of taels of silver, don't even want to buy her lowly status.
Of course, this is only for ordinary people. Lu Zhen didn't have such trouble, when he rushed to the Hangzhou Mansion and told him what he meant, the former colleagues there first snickered strangely, and then helped him go through the relevant procedures very quickly.
Originally, the process that took ten days and half a month to complete was completed in just over half an hour. And when Lu Zhen saw the price he needed, he was even more stunned: "This Yunyan girl only needs five hundred taels of silver to redeem her?" "This is too cheap, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for others to take these five hundred taels of silver for Yun Yan to accompany them for one night.
The household official who was in charge of the affairs of the Hangzhou Teaching Department smiled and said: "If you change to someone else, even if you take out five thousand taels of silver, don't even think about redeeming and buying our Hangzhou Oiran." But since this is what you meant, Lord Lu, and Miss Yun Yan is also voluntary, then we naturally can't go too far. But I always have to give an explanation to the above, so I'll charge five hundred taels. ”
Lu Zhen looked at the other party's slightly ridiculous, even a little obscene expression, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. No matter how I explain it, I'm afraid I can't tell the real reason for redeeming Yun Yan, because no one will believe his words. So I had to make a mistake and thank each other: "Thank you so much." ”
"It's easy to say, it's the so-called beauty with a hero." This one can also speak, and he added.
Indeed, for the people in Hangzhou, whether they are officials or people, they all admire Lu Zhen very much and regard him as a real hero. Because it was he who led people to guard in front of the gate of Genshan that saved many people, and the city was not attacked by the Japanese invaders, otherwise no one knows what the final result would be.
Therefore, this time, in the face of Lu Jin's request, they tried their best to cooperate. not only sold Yun Yan at the price of five hundred taels of cabbage, but also added an addition, that is, a little girl named Qingwu. Two beauties, but only need to tattoo five hundred taels of silver, if this is passed out, I am afraid that it will make countless pleasure-seeking men jealous and their eyes are on fire.
Now that everything has been done, Lu Zhen did not delay much in the mansion. Because those guys always looked at him with an ambiguous smile, which made him quite uncomfortable, so after greeting everyone, he left the yamen and went straight to the West Lake.
At this time, it was not yet dark, and what had just happened before, presumably Yunshuijian had not yet rafted into the lake, so he took Lin Lie and went straight to one of the embroidery buildings, which was Yunshuijian's residence on the shore, after all, a boat full of people could not always float on the water.
But just when he was about to arrive at the place, Lu Zhen suddenly remembered a little and stopped: "You two don't follow me." ”
"Huh?" Lin Lie and the others were slightly stunned, and then they understood. They had just attacked Wu Jiji on the West Lake, and it would be really troublesome if they had met those guys in the past. So I had to stop first and hide in an alley on the side.
And Lu Jin, after a full coat, strode over. When I came to the vicinity of the embroidery building, I heard a quarrel and fighting from there. When I stepped forward, I saw several people dressed as servants being beaten out of the building, gurgling down the stone stairs, looking embarrassed.
Seeing this, Lu Jin's heart moved, and he pushed aside the people who were watching the play, squeezed in, and asked, "What's going on?" ”
After being an official for all these years, Lu Zhen has gradually gained some prestige, and he is also dressed extraordinary, so the people on both sides did not dare to block him, and some people even explained to him: "Just now, someone from the Wu family came to the door to rob this Oiran Yunyan girl between the clouds and waters." The people in the building naturally refused, so they started to do it! ”
As he spoke, there were a few bumps inside, and several figures fell out in response, all of them were the caretakers in the building. Although they each have some skills, they didn't dare to do anything with the eunuchs sent by the town guard, and they were passively beaten, and the result was so embarrassing.
Seeing this, Lu Jin's brows furrowed. The contradiction between himself and Wu Miao, I'm afraid these people under him are also clear. Now that he has no official position, if he goes up to rob them like this, he will have to suffer nine times out of ten, but how can this be good?
Do you call Lin Lie and them to help, or do you want to find another helper? The former has a certain risk, and as for the latter, where can you find someone to help during this time?
Just as he was hesitating, suddenly, Lu Zhen saw a group of officers and soldiers rushing over, and the person who was the first to take the lead looked a little familiar, it seemed to be a certain general who was standing at the head of the city when he was fighting against the Japanese in Genshan Gate before.
This lifted Lu Jin's spirits, and he hurriedly greeted him: "This general is invited." ”
"It turned out to be Lord Lu, and the last general Ji Bai was polite." This also recognized Lu Zhen at a glance, and hurriedly returned the salute with a fist. For those of them who are soldiers, Lu Zhen is more worthy of respect than all those who are officials.
In just two sentences, Lu Zhen learned from his mouth that he had indeed heard that there was a mess here, and he specially brought someone over to see what was going on. So he said tentatively: "That's the person who guarded the eunuch Wu Miao wanted to rob the Hangzhou Oiran in broad daylight, which is really infuriating." ”
"Hmph, a eunuch who doesn't even have that thing below dares to touch my Hangzhou Oiran, it's really bold!" When Ji Bai heard this, he was immediately annoyed. But he didn't rush over to obstruct them as he said, but just sighed in embarrassment: "But this matter is also a little troublesome, even if the general has a way to drive them away, there are some teachers who are unknown." ”
"There's a way to do this." Seeing this, Lu Jin hurriedly said, and took out the contract in his sleeve: "This is the deed of sale of Miss Yun Yan that I just bought from the government." Originally, I was going to come here to redeem her. It's just that the situation here ......"
When Ji Bai heard this, his eyes also showed a little surprise and playfulness, and then he patted his chest with a smile: "Since this is the case, the last general naturally wants to help Lord Lu and you get a beauty!" Follow me, brothers! So saying, he took off the saber from his waist, and without unsheathing it, he carried it and rushed forward. And the soldiers around him immediately followed with a scream, leaving Lu Jin, the party aside.
Lu Zhen smiled bitterly and watched these people kill, and shouted words such as snatching women for Lord Lu, knowing that after today, he liked Oiran Yunyan and fought with the eunuchs guarding the town, and the word of jealousy would have to spread in the city.
The facts are just as he thought, not long after, there was a story in Hangzhou about Lord Lu who was angry and became a red face, which was also compiled into an opera script. And the story has changed several times, and finally it became that Lord Lu fought 300 rounds with those wolf-like guys, and finally hugged the beauty......
Of course, this is an afterword, and now Lu Zhen can only stand on tiptoe, like other people, watching the situation in the building.
@@@@@
In the embroidery building, in a boudoir on the third floor, Qingwu blocked the door in a panic, and said to Yun Yan, who also had an ugly face inside: "Miss, what can I do about this?" Those guys won't let you go, they're coming up soon. ”
What to do? Yun Yan is also completely out of line now. She really didn't expect Wu Miao's movements to be so fast. I just got a guarantee from Lu Jin, and people have already come to the door. I'm afraid that with the momentum of Gonggong Wu, Yunshuijian will never dare to obstruct it too much.
And once he is really taken away by them, I am afraid that there will be only one end, to bury the dead Wu Jihei! The thought of this made her feel a little chilly.
If it was just an ordinary forced marriage, she could still threaten her with death. But the situation in front of her is obviously useless, because she is dead, and the other party will also pull the body away. Anyway, what they want is her Yun Yan's body, and it doesn't matter if it's dead or alive.
It should be impossible for Lu Zhen to save him, and there is no other way to save himself, the only way is not to let that wicked person get his wish! As soon as this thought came to mind, Yun Yan's face suddenly showed a look of determination, and as soon as she reached out, she took out a dagger from under the pillow and placed it across her pretty face that turned all beings upside down.
"Ah...... Miss, you ...... What are you doing? Seeing her make such a dangerous move, Qingwu immediately panicked and hurriedly asked loudly.
Yun Yan just smiled sadly: "What they fancy is just my appearance, since that's the case, I'll destroy it before they take it down." We'll see if they'll take me to the guy's funeral! "She is indeed a fierce woman, no wonder she can still maintain her innocence after many years of entertainment.
"Don't, Miss!" Qingwu saw it, but she was shocked and quickly shouted. But then, her voice of prevention turned into an exclamation: "Ah! ”
But there was a muffled thud behind him, and the door had been slammed open by someone outside.
Qingwu is just a little girl after all, how can she really be worthy of the door of the house. The guys outside just banged on the door and the door was slammed open, and then a few people controlled Qingwu and rushed into the house.
Seeing this, Yun Yan bit her teeth, and as soon as she closed her eyes, she was about to use a knife to cut it off her face. But at this moment, a hand had reached out suddenly, and before the tip of the knife touched her blown-out tender skin, he grabbed her: "Little slut, do you want to ruin your pretty face?" Do you really think we're going to let you mess around? As he spoke, Yun Yan let go of her hand, and the dagger fell to the ground with a thud.
This time, she knew that she was completely helpless, and suddenly two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks: "Master Lu, can you come to save me?" ”
