Chapter 522: Heart Knot
"I want to ask your people to be able to line up to the Qinhuai River from here, who would have guessed this." Qi Jiguang said with a smile, and Xing Shangzhi also shook his head to indicate that he didn't guess.
"Don't guess it, I'm actually quite curious," Zhang You said with a smile, the porter had already entered the door while speaking, Xing Shangzhi took the invitation from him first, and said while unfolding it: "Let's take a look, this is ...... Sha Tongtian? Okay, the surname Sha is not small, he actually wants to invite you to the banquet, why don't you have an invitation from our family......"
As soon as he heard the name "Sha Tongtian", Zhang You immediately snatched the invitation, glanced at it, and sneered: "I really think that Lao Tzu will be fine if he accepts Wang Chengxun's silver, right?" Just in time, I was about to meet the evil woman with a knife and the ungrateful cold-blooded woman. ”
"Are you really going?" Xing Shangzhi asked.
Zhang You nodded and instructed the porter: "The one who sent the invitation is still there, go and tell him, just say that I will go to the banquet on time." ”
The concierge retreated, and Qi Jiguang said beside him: "Zicheng, you don't want to go to someone's banquet to make trouble, right?" It's too much to give Wang Xinjian face, right? ”
"Face is earned by yourself...... Okay, the time is tonight, I won't tell you, I'm going to go, you two have a good drink in the evening. As he spoke, Zhang You went into the inner room to change clothes, Xing Shangzhi and Qi Jiguang looked at each other and smiled bitterly, they could see that Zhang You was deliberately going to the door to make trouble, and wanted to persuade him, but he didn't know how to persuade him.
After the redecoration, the Cui Pavilion has been reopened, and everyone knows that Zhang You has become the behind-the-scenes boss here, and there are more guests than before.
The girls who left all came back, including the earliest ones, in this regard, Ma Xianglan welcomed it on the surface, and naturally had a spectrum in her heart, and it was naturally impossible for some stewards to give them the position of the housekeeper, which was also human nature, who let them choose to escape when they were in trouble in the Cui Pavilion, they had to pay some price.
There are also a lot of new faces, all of them are aimed at Zhang You's character, just as Ma Xianglan said to Zhang You, the matter of his sacrificing his life to defend Chu Mucheng has spread all over the banks of the Qinhuai River, and others dare not say that all the sisters in this line, whoever mentions him has to give a thumbs up, and now he wants to open a green * building, as long as the sisters can get out, they will naturally flock to it.
The sun is setting, the silk and bamboo sound, the Youlan Pavilion is open for business, the girls wear flowers and butterflies to entertain the guests, the laughter, the play, mixed with the melodious music, ushered in the send-off, outlining a busy scene.
Ma Xianglan took a turn around, and when she returned upstairs, she was already flushed with pink face, full of alcohol, and without saying a word when she entered the house, she first poured several large mouthfuls of herbal tea into the spout of the teapot, and then took a long breath of turbidity, and said to Chu Mucheng who was lying on the bed: "It seems that tonight is busy again......
"It's a pity that my body can't help at all." Chu Mucheng interrupted Ma Xianglan with some guilt.
"Now that we have enough manpower, even if you are completely well, you don't need to go into battle in person." Ma Xianglan sat down next to Chu Mucheng, reached out and stroked the messy hair on her cheeks, smiled and continued: "Master Zhang said, when you are completely well, let you go to Hangzhou, he will open another Youlan Pavilion over there and let you be a mother." ”
"Is this compensation?" Chu Mucheng said faintly.
Ma Xianglan understood what she meant, sighed lightly and said: "You can't blame him entirely, after all, he is an official person, and it is not easy to make Xinjian Bo pay money to compensate you and Sihan, you can't really tear your face with Xinjian Bo, right?" ”
Chu Mucheng raised his head slightly: "I know that he is also embarrassed, and after all, he has a great kindness to me that is difficult to repay even if he sacrifices his life, but I just can't get over this hurdle in my heart." ”
Why shouldn't I? Ma Xianglan said secretly, what I said at the beginning was good, I must give us an outlet for evil spirits, but now it's good, 20,000 taels of silver will be sent away, I can't do it if I lack this bit of silver?
But after all, she is a woman who knows how to repay her kindness, although she is not happy in her heart, she has never complained, not only that, but she also has to comfort Chu Mucheng from time to time, for fear that she will have an opinion on Zhang You.
"Think about it, people like Su Yunxiu can't get good retribution, and that Sha Lady, sooner or later, we will take revenge."
"Well," Chu Mucheng nodded obediently, but understood that this was just Ma Xianglan's words to comfort herself, and she was still a little panicked in her heart.
The two of them were suddenly silent, for a long time, Ma Xianglan sighed, got up, and was about to go downstairs to have a look, when the door was suddenly pushed open, and the good lady walked in, and said without waiting to stand still: "Sister, Mu Cheng, you two hurry up and clean up, Master Zhang is waiting for you two outside, saying that he wants to take you two to the banquet......"
"Where are you going?" The two were stunned for a moment, and asked in unison.
The good lady shook her head: "I don't know, he didn't come in, let Liu Xiangdong come in to inform, Liu Xiangdong didn't say where to go, just let the two of you hurry up and clean up, hurry up, I went out first, and there were several groups of guests just now." ”
After that, she hurriedly went out again, leaving the two daughters looking at each other, and couldn't figure out why Zhang You wanted to take them to the banquet.
With curiosity, the two dressed up, and when they got off the boat, they saw Liu Xiangdong sitting on the wheel of a carriage, and there was a carriage next to him.
Zhang Youhe sat in the carriage and chattered, and when he heard the movement, he opened the curtain and said to the second daughter: "You two get into that carriage, go east, let's go, hurry up, don't let the master of the family wait." ”
Without waiting for the second daughter to ask, Zhang You had already lowered the curtain, and the second daughter became more and more puzzled, but unfortunately Liu Xiangdong had already driven forward, so he had to get into the carriage behind.
Supporting Chu Mucheng to sit down, Ma Xianglan lifted the curtain and asked Mo Rigen: "Master Mo, where are we going?" ”
Mo Rigen smiled innocently, raised the horsewhip in his hand, threw out a crisp voice in the air, and kept in his mouth: "Lord Chengnansha has a birthday today, and he sent an invitation to our lord, and my lord specially took you two to have a look...... Sit tight, let's go! ”
The horse neighed, the body moved forward, Ma Xianglan sighed in her heart, more and more puzzled, when she lowered the curtain, she happened to see a luxurious carriage parked over there, and farther away, a woman with a white gauze on her face got off the boat, knowing that it was a shallow girl, she couldn't help sneering and said: "Won't you also go to the banquet in Shafu?" The pomp and circumstance is not small. ”
"How do you go to Shafu? Mom, I really don't want to see Su Yunxiu and that Sha Lady......" Chu Mucheng's face was very ugly, and his voice trembled a little, obviously remembering the terrifying memories of that day.
Ma Xianglan sat down next to her and lovingly hugged her into her arms: "Don't be afraid, there is me...... The adults know that we have a grudge against Shafu and still want to bring the two of us, maybe there is no deep meaning, let's go and see, maybe there is some surprise. ”
"Surprise?"
"Yes!" Ma Xianglan's eyes were shining, and she faintly guessed a possibility, and couldn't help but look forward to it more and more.
