In the dead of night that night, Wang Fulin was in the study, looking thoughtfully at Feng Liu, who seemed to be really just an ordinary skilled woman. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Over the years, he has traveled north and south, has a rich vision, and has seen all kinds of different people, so he has accumulated a lot of experience in looking at people. Just from Feng Liu's exposed neck and hands, he could see that the other party was definitely not from a low-level civilian background, otherwise, those hands would not have left no traces of work, and there would not be many fine lines on the neck. Therefore, after lingering for a moment on that face that was not so much outstanding as very mediocre, he said in a deep voice: "Now you can tell the truth, what did Master Cheng send you to the capital for?" ”

"Concubine Liuying, meet Lord Wang."

Seeing that the other party bowed down again, but it was not the slightly rough voice before, but it was a moving voice and elegant movements, although Wang Fulin had some guesses, he was still quite surprised, and asked after a while: "Liuying, but the Liuyang of the small fan fluttering the Liuying?" The so-called Feng Liu's, this Liu character, should come from your flower name, right? Could it be that you are from the Huaiyang Flower Boat? Feng is your husband's family? ”

He just reported the name of the flower that he used to use in the past, Wang Fulin was not surprised to speculate, Liu Ying hesitated for a moment, and finally raised his head, and slowly tore off a mask from his face. I saw that her true face and facial features were beautiful, and there were slightly fine lines at the corners of her eyebrows and eyes.

And she knelt there with her hands in front of her, but said in a low voice: "It's the Liuying that Wang Ye said." It's just that Feng is the mother's surname that the concubine used to follow, not her husband's surname. The concubine came from a flower boat on the Slender West Lake, and was ransomed by a famous salt merchant in Shanxi during a banquet. ”

Shanxi salt merchants? Then why did he live in Yangzhou again, and he was sent by Master Cheng to change his appearance?

Wang Fulin was suspicious, but he didn't open his mouth to ask, but sat quietly and waited for the Liu Ying to say it himself.

"The Shanxi salt merchant who is quite famous in Jianghuai and Gusu is the third brother of Zhang Gelao, the second assistant of the dynasty, Zhang Sijiao."

Hearing such a sentence, Wang Fulin sat up straight all of a sudden, and his eyes became extremely sharp: "Although the Zhang family of Puzhou is a businessman, he has been studying for several generations, so he regards himself as a Confucian businessman. In addition to the current second assistant, as far as I know, the brothers of the Zhang family have all been studying since childhood, because although Zhang Gelao's father is good in business, he is too pedantic, so they have to do their best to support their brother, who has been a prodigy since childhood, so they all go to business. Therefore, even Zhang Sijiao should not be able to casually bring the dusty woman home because of the spring breeze on the flower boat! ”

Although Wang Fulin's words were all extremely sharp, Liuying still seemed very calm, but with the narration, she seemed to be immersed in it herself, and unconsciously changed her name.

"Master Wang, you are right, Zhang Sijiao just liked my outstanding appearance, beautiful voice, and even more skills in pretending to be a man and a woman, so he brought me back to Shanxi. It's just that Zhang's family is strict, the family rules are strict, no matter how he disguises and says good things, but the old lady heard that I am from Yangzhou, I am not allowed to enter, I became his other wife, later, I gave birth to a daughter, I hurt my body and can no longer get pregnant, he used the excuse that his daughter can not be raised in the house, so he sent someone back to Zhang's house, put it in the name of his stepwife. Although I was reluctant, I thought it was also for my daughter's good, so I agreed. ”

Speaking of this past, Liuying's face was slightly gloomy, but it was not hysterical like an ordinary woman. But then, she paused for a long time before continuing.

"Zhang Sijiao is quite appreciated by the eldest brother, that is, the second assistant Zhang Gelao, of course, this is also because Zhang Gelao's expenses as an official are mostly provided by him in foreign business. Therefore, Zhang Ge Lao personally tried to donate to him the official position of the commander of Long Huwei. In this way, when he was doing business abroad, he would get twice the result with half the effort, and everyone respected him for three points. Of course, this is all after Wanli, before Zhang Ge Lao entered the cabinet, he did not have that kind of scenery, that year, because the salt sales were not good, several Jin merchants went to Huaiyang but returned with a feather, he took me to Yangzhou again. ”

Speaking of a few Jin merchants who went to Huaiyang but returned with a feather, Wang Fulin's heart suddenly moved. You know, before he participated in the Nanzhili Township Test in the first year of Wanli, he went to Yangzhou once, and that time it was the Hui Gang against the Jin Gang, and the Jin Gang also pulled the four-room Wang Daomin of the Wang family of Songming Mountain as an internal response, but he was miserable by Master Cheng. Could it be that this is what the firefly said, that time?

Thinking of this, he listened more attentively, and Liuying did not hide around the bush, but broke the key in one word.

After arriving in Yangzhou, he first did not show the mountains and water, did not hand over the government, did not set foot in the officialdom, and only visited the land of fireworks, so after half a year, he finally figured out the inside story of the Hui Gang. Among the four surnames of the Yangzhou Hui Gang, the Wang family of Songmingshan and the Cheng family of Huangjiawu of the two branches of Wang Cheng have always been close because they have a better relationship than their in-laws, while the Xu family has a bit of a discord because of the separation, and there is an opportunity to take advantage of it. A branch of the Wu family, the Wu clan in Xixinan, and its lord Wu Tianming is the most lustful person. Zhang Sijiao found out that Wu Tianming loved his wife the most, so he gave me to him through a banquet. ”

This kind of thing is not uncommon in officialdom, not to mention shopping malls - I want Su Dongpo to give away the pregnant concubine at the beginning, this is a familiar story. Therefore, Wang Fulin only felt some disgust, but it was only a little disgusting. This is the atmosphere of this society, even if he is an emperor, he can't control it, let alone that he is not an emperor? But when he heard the name Wu Tianming, he still remembered that Master Cheng had told him that Wu Tianming was not among the top five salt merchants in Huizhou, but the thin horse had ten or eight.

"I have been with Zhang Sijiao for eight years at that time, because no one among the sisters has encountered this kind of thing, and when I left Puzhou, I once looked at my daughter from a distance and saw that she seemed to be doing well, so when Zhang Sijiao mentioned this to me, although I was shocked and angry, and sad for a few days, I also accepted my fate and agreed, but I didn't expect that Zhang Sijiao instructed me to be sure to practice the voice of Wu Tianming and several attendants around him vividly. Only then did I learn that his purpose was not pure, but he was blackmailed by his daughter, and I had to obey. ”

"I was so fascinated by Wu Tianming that I easily completed Zhang Sijiao's instructions, and he took advantage of Wu Tianming's absence to get me out of Wu's house. Under his instructions, I learned the voice of Wu Tianming and his two henchmen from several shopkeepers of the Wu family, and in this way, Wu Tianming's big business in the salt industry was not counted, and it also caused him to have a gap with Master Cheng. Even so, Wu Tianming didn't think of me, a fugitive concubine. He drew a gourd in the same way, and gave me to the second master Xu through others as a loop, and after rebelling against others, he took the opportunity to instruct a few Jin merchants to force them down. ”

If it weren't for Master Cheng finally sensing that something was wrong, and then visiting a few salt merchants, the Hui Gang would have almost broken up. But Zhang Sijiao saw that the Jin Gang had a firm foothold and didn't need me, so he was worried that if I showed my mouth, he helped me escape from Second Master Xu again, and said that he would take me back to Shanxi. I believed him again, but this time, when I came out, he hoarseled my throat......"

Liuying finally stopped, and it took a long time before he lowered his head and said, "But even so, he said that it was just to prevent the evidence from being revealed. One day husband and wife hundred days, I will not have two hearts, to be precise, I dare not have an external heart. However, the boat back to my hometown sank halfway down, and I would swim in the water, and I also rescued an old woman who sent me back to Puzhou. The mother was grateful for my life-saving grace, so she told me that the daughter I gave to Zhang Sijiao had already died of illness, and the person he asked me to see before was only his youngest daughter-in-law. I don't know if the boat was sunk by Professor Zhang Si's intentions, but I heard that he sent two stunning Yangzhou thin horses to Wu Tianming and Xu Er, and I was dumbfounded, even if I confessed to Wu Tianming, it was absolutely impossible to be trusted, so I found Master Cheng. ”

Wang Fulin has never been a hard-hearted person, but he is not a gullible person either, although Liuying's words sound very logical, he still asked: "Why did Master Cheng believe all of your words?" ”

"Master Cheng was merciful and healed my throat."

Although it is only a dozen words, it has exhausted the mysteries, at least this reason is enough to convince Wang Fulin. Of course, the most important thing is that Hotaru took out a sealed letter from her bosom and presented it to him on her knees. He took it in his hand, made sure it was sealed, and tore open the envelope and took out the letterhead. On the only piece of white paper, Master Cheng wrote only two simple lines in that familiar handwriting.

"This woman is a mute person, I extend medical treatment, and the virtuous nephew can use it, and if he can't use it, he will keep it, or marry it. A good deed every day is better than making money every day. ”

Wang Fulin put the letterhead on the desk, and then asked, "Then who did the change of face on your face?" ”

"It's the rough craft I learned in Huachuan, but it can only make people become mediocre, others are not likely to look at it more, and there will still be big flaws when you look closely, and no one will look at a woman who is more than half a hundred years old and has a shallow appearance."

"Then let me ask you, how old are you now? Master Cheng sent you to the capital, do you want to take revenge? ”

"I was twenty years old, and now I am thirty-four." When Liu Hotaru said this, her eyes suddenly darkened. If she and Zhang Sijiao's daughter are still alive, they should be thirteen years old this year and can get married. However, because she fell into the dust and was entrusted to a non-human, the first and only child in this life died so inexplicably, she may not even be able to find a place to worship!

"Wang Ye just said revenge, I thought about it, of course I thought about it, but what if I killed Zhang Sijiao? My daughter won't come back alive, and neither will I be able to come back for the more than ten years I spent in vain. I'm just unwilling, unwilling to start with the flower boat for as long as I can remember, and finally follow a man who never put me in my heart, and in the end I have to die mediocre! As she spoke, she raised her head and stared at Wang Fulin's eyes, "I said to Master Cheng, I just want to walk up to Zhang Sijiao in front of him and slap him twice!" And Master Cheng told me that he would never be able to do it, but Master Wang might be able to do it! ”

Master Cheng, you really look down on me!

Wang Fulin slandered Master Cheng who shirked his responsibilities in his heart, but his answer was plain: "Okay, I know all this you said." ”

He did not continue to delve into the matter of Zhang Sijiao. In the struggle in the shopping mall, he believed that a first-class veteran like Master Cheng would definitely launch a general attack at the right time after knowing the inside story, and that kind of fierce counterattack was enough for any opponent to drink a pot. Therefore, after pondering for a while, he continued: "You are the person sent by Master Cheng, and since he has mercy in his heart, then I will leave you." When I look back, I will talk to Grandma Cheng, and the Tao is to reward you with twenty taels of silver and marry you to the person in the village. But I will secretly send someone to send you to a tooth woman, and then buy you into the house through her, in your true face. ”

Liuying just didn't want to drag this ruined body to marry someone - although she is not young now and can't have children, it is still easy to find a man based on her appearance alone, but to find a good man, she has almost no such extravagant hopes. Therefore, she nodded without thinking about it, without the slightest hesitation.

Now that he already knew about Liuying, after Wang Fulin asked him to go down, when he returned to the main room, he asked Xiaobei to call Yan's mother, and first talked about the little thing he had just asked, and seeing Xiaobei and Yan's mother looking at each other, he continued: "Yan's mother, I think about it, take this Liuying to see Ya Po, and then buy the person back, I will leave this matter to you." After waiting for someone to enter the house, you will also take her. She learns who is like whom's ventriloquism, and it may be useful in the future, not to mention the relationship between her and Zhang Sijiao, which may be of other use in the future. But at home, you might as well use someone as a steward's daughter-in-law. ”

Yan's mother originally wanted to refuse, after all, what good can the people who came out of the Qinglou Chu Pavilion have? Even if you are in your early thirties, what if you are restless and want to seduce someone? But when she heard that she was bringing it to herself, instead of putting it next to Xiaobei, she weighed it left and right, and then readily agreed, secretly thinking about the person under my nose, what kind of moth is she afraid she will play?

When Yan's mother retreated, Wang Fulin directly stretched his waist, and the whole person collapsed on the Luohan bed, not wanting to move at all. I went to see Wang Xijue in the morning, Zhang Juzheng in the afternoon, and carefully interrogated such a firefly sent by Master Cheng in the evening, is this Xiu Mu? More tired than him working all day in the Metropolitan Inspectorate!

Therefore, when Xiaobei asked people to bring a basin of water and put a soft towel on his face, he suddenly grabbed her hand and said word by word: "Today, I saw Wang Xijue's old husband and wife but they are still happy, and I heard Liuying say that Zhang Sijiao's use is completely ruthless, do you know what I'm thinking?" ”

Knowing Wang Fulin's temperament, Xiaobei deliberately quipped: "What do you think? Don't you want to make a vow against me, saying that you will never change your mind in this life and this life? ”

"I still need to swear by your gambling curse?"

Wang Fulin laughed, and suddenly pulled Xiaobei down on top of him, and only when he held the person in his arms with one hand did he say lightly: "I just think that background and luck are too important in a person's life." Even if you have a thousand talents and abilities, if you are born and are trampled in the sludge, then at most there is only a 1 in 10,000 chance of breaking free. But if you are born with a decent environment, then as long as you are a little talented, you have a lot of possibilities to get ahead. I was lucky, at least when I opened my eyes, although my family owed a huge debt and was almost ruined by someone who had calculated and lost my fame, at least there were good uncles and uncles in the clan, and I myself found a chance to turn the tables around. ”

To cherish the present, he has to do more!
