Chapter 106 Another Village (continued)

Zhao Million said: "Taking advantage of people's danger and falling into the well is not a gentleman's doing." I'm afraid that doing so will damage Kang'er's reputation, and I will never do such a thing! ”

Chen Dafu scolded in his heart: Pretend to be next door to Nima! Before Brother Kang became the governor of Yansui, you Zhao Million was a famous Zhao Pap in Suzhou City, kicking the widow's door, digging up the grave of the household, eating confinement milk, and bullying honest people.

However, he said: "Uncle Shi, you can't say that, this is not something to take advantage of people's danger and fall into the well." That's a big deal! Think about it, Uncle Shi, you saved Dong Bai from the dire situation for Brother Kang, it is simply a bodhisattva going down to earth, helping the poor and helping others, sending charcoal in the snow, and acting bravely! ”

Zhao Million pondered for a long time, and always felt that something was not right: "With what I know about you, since the other party is so beautiful, there is no reason for you to give it to Kang'er?" If it's really like you say, why don't you propose it yourself? ”

Chen Dafu: "Hey, hey, hey, hey...... First, her family owed a full three thousand taels of usury, and her mother was still sick, and she didn't know how much she would have to spend in the future. Second, my father didn't agree with me marrying a woman who used to be a courtesan, and if I wanted to take a concubine, I wasn't qualified. ”

Zhao Million said: "No wonder! I'll just say how can you kid be so kind! Then hurry up and lead the way, I will go to see if this Dong Bai is as beautiful as you said. ”

......

When Zhao Million and the three of them arrived at Dong's house, the small courtyard of Dong's house was already crowded with people, and several fierce men were guarding the door. The three of them got out of the car and walked straight inside, but were stopped by the big man at the door.

Zhao Million asked, "What kind of truth do you have?" I made a special trip to visit my old friend, how dare I stop me? ”

Chen Dafu also pointed at Zhao Million and said, "This is Master Zhao and Zhao Yuanwai outside Suzhou City." Zhao Kang, the current governor of Yansui, is the son of this Zhao Yuanwai, how dare you stop him? It's a long life, isn't it? ”

After speaking, he directly pushed away the few people who blocked the way, and led Zhao Million and Zhao Laocai to break in. Walking into the hall, Zhao Million looked around for a week, only to see that there was not even a decent furniture at home, and he couldn't help but sigh: The four walls of the house are just like this.

A girl who is extremely beautiful is crying pear blossoms and rain, and there are several middle-aged women dressed in fancy clothes sitting next to her, one of whom Zhao Million still knows, it is the old bustard Chunhua of Wanhualou, a brothel in Bantang, Suzhou, Zhao Million used to be a frequent visitor to Wanhualou. Seeing Zhao Million and the three of them coming in, Chunhua immediately recognized Zhao Million and came up to greet him: "Isn't this Zhao Yuanwai?" Since your son became a big official, you haven't patronized our Wanhualou for a long time, why do you have time to come here today? ”

Zhao Million smiled awkwardly: "Passing by...... Just passing by. I heard that Miss Dong was beautiful, so I made a special trip to take a look. ”

Chunhua smiled ambiguously: "Zhao Yuanwai, it's not me talking about you, you see that you are in your fifties, and the little girl is not yet seventeen, it's too bad for you!" Besides, if you dare to take Miss Xiaowan home, I'm afraid that the thirteen ladies in your family will make a mess tonight, right? ”

Zhao Million said: "No, no, I didn't come for myself today." ”

At this time, Chunhua looked at Chen Dafu and said, "This little brother seems to be Chen Dafu, the youngest son of Boss Chen's family in Chen's cloth village, Zhao Yuanwai, you shouldn't have brought him to propose marriage, right?" This kind of thing can trouble you to get old, what did Boss Chen do? And Xiao Wan's vision is very high, this Chen Dafu heard that even Xiucai's fame was bought, can Xiao Wan look down on him? ”

Chen Dafu was blushing by Chunhua's words, and said loudly: "Of course it's not for me." It was my eldest brother Zhao Kang who wanted to take Miss Dong as a concubine, and my Uncle Zhao Shi came to talk to Miss Dong today. ”

Chunhua turned her head to Zhao Million and said, "Zhao Kang? Is it Zhao Yuanwai, your son who is an official? ”

Zhao Million smiled and nodded: "Exactly." I just don't know which one is Miss Dong Bai? ”

At this time, the woman who was crying with her head down just now wiped her tears with her sleeve and raised her head and said, "If you go back to Zhao Yuanwai, I am Dong Bai." ”

At this time, Zhao Wansan carefully looked at the woman in front of him. Plain clothes and light makeup, clear eyebrows and refreshing eyes, it is simply beautiful. Zhao Million and the three of them were directly stunned. After a long time, Zhao Million said to himself: "Beautiful! Beauty! Beauty! Sure enough, it is a sinking fish and a goose, and a shy flower in the closed moon! ”

Rao is Dong Xiaowan has a cheerful, outgoing and generous personality, and was also praised by Zhao Million's words, and hurriedly said shyly: "How can it be so beautiful as Zhao Yuanwai said." ”

Zhao Million asked, "Miss Xiaowan, since I'm here, I'll just say it." My son Zhao Kang, I don't know if you've heard of it? ”

Dong Xiaowan nodded. I have heard that Zhao Kang, a celebrity in Suzhou, has heard that he used to be a member of the Fushe Society, and he usually does not show his face, but he didn't expect that the road to the imperial examination was extremely smooth, and his promotion after the entrance examination seemed to be as fast as lightning. In just over a year, he has become a feudal official in Weizhen, northern Shaanxi and Mongolia. Even Chen Zhenhui, Hou Fangyu, Fang Yizhi, and Mao Bijiang, who are known as the four sons of Jiangnan, are envious of him.

I only heard Zhao Million continue: "My son's wife is still young, but he has a heavy responsibility, guarding the frontier for the court, and the two girls have no culture, I hope the girl can agree to be my son's side room, so that she will not be so lonely in the poor ravine of Shaanxi." I don't know if Miss Xiaowan is willing? ”

Dong Xiaowan frowned, very entangled. It is not a shame to be the concubine of a person like Zhao Kang, and it is also an excellent destination for himself. But thinking that my family owes so many debts, and my mother has been sick in bed, I am always embarrassed to ask for it, right?

At this time, Chunhua on the side spoke: "Zhao Yuanwai, it's not authentic for you to do this. Miss Xiaowan has just agreed to sell herself to our Wanhualou as a courtesan and escort, how can you intervene? ”

Zhao Million said angrily: "What do you mean by interfering horizontally? Miss Xiaowan is my son's concubine, you dare to let her be a courtesan, believe it or not, when my son comes back, I will ask him to demolish your Wanhualou? ”

Chunhua said angrily: "I know your son is terrible, but you have to be reasonable, right?" You can take Miss Xiaowan away, all the debts of her family have been paid off by our Wanhualou, plus our Wanhualou has lent her mother money to buy medicine these days, a total of 7,000 taels of silver, you can't help but pay it back, right? ”
