Chapter 6: Clearing the Fog

The boundaries of Chang'an City are clear, the city is a business field, and the fang is a residential area. The square area is surrounded by high walls, and only a few doors can enter and exit, and the gates are closed and opened regularly, and there are special people in charge. The streets and alleys in the area are crisscrossed, and residents are not allowed to do business along the street at will. Although it has reached the late Tang Dynasty, the curfew system in Chang'an City is still strictly enforced, and at night, the whole street and alley are pitch black.

After knowing Qi Yu's true identity, Yang Hao couldn't wait to see her immediately, the reason, hehe, don't say it. As soon as the sky darkened, Yang Hao and Xiao Si wore night clothes and climbed over the wall into the back garden of Qi's house.

is different from the black night clothes in Yang Hao's imagination, the night clothes that Xiao Si found are royal blue, and the style is no different from ordinary clothes, but walking in a dark street can have a good stealth effect.

What's more, if you wear this kind of clothes and walk through the streets and alleys, even if you are caught by the soldiers who patrol the night, he can only convict you of a forbidden crime, and cannot sue you for suspected underworld crimes.

A common man who violates the ban will be beaten and punished with hard labor, but there can only be one punishment for the children of the prince who violate the ban: a fine. One or two silver per person at a time! A tael of silver counts as a *!? Isn't it enough for Lao Tzu to drink 1/30 of a meal of flower wine?

Xiao Si has also practiced kung fu for several years, and his hands and feet are very sharp. The two climbed over the courtyard wall and walked through a bamboo forest, and came to a bamboo fence with a two-story building in the middle of a flower bed.

Xiao Si opened the bamboo fence door and reminded: "Ye will come back when you see it, the Qi Mansion is very tight at night." Yang Hao nodded, walked through the flower bed, and hid in a flower tree behind the small building. Yang Hao's original intention was just to see what Qi Yu looked like from a distance, so he didn't take Xiao Si's opinion and went directly into the house to have a private meeting with her.

Yang Hao took out his flying claws and threw them onto the rafters on the roof of the building, climbed up along the rope, and in the blink of an eye, he had climbed to the top of the building. Xiao Si saw the praise from a distance, and secretly thought that this time he had finally come to the bitter end, although the prince had forgotten a lot of old things after this serious illness, his temperament was much better, and his kung fu did not fall at all. This Qi Yu girl added a man and a half woman to him, and the lady still didn't hand over the home to him? His own steward seems to be decided.

Yang Hao squatted on the roof of the building and uncovered a piece of roof tiles, and the action of uncovering the tiles was very skillful.

The lights in the house were dim, and a ten-year-old gorgeous woman was wearing a loose silk robe, pacing in the room with a full stomach, her body was plump, her skin was fair, and she was holding a white Persian cat in her arms. Yang Hao only glanced at her, and was secretly happy in his heart: "It's really a beauty, no wonder the overlord will be fascinated by her." ”

The area of the embroidery floor is not very large, a carved screen divides the room into two parts, the outer room is the living room and living room, and the inner room is the bedroom, because the area is too small, only a carved wooden bed, a set of mahogany wardrobes and a dressing table are placed.

A maid was making the bed, looking at her only fifteen or sixteen years old, she was petite, and her appearance was not inferior to that of her master Qi Yu.

There was a "bang", and when the maid pulled the quilt, she shook off a short sword.

Qi Yu suddenly became angry, shook his hand and gave the maid a mouthful, and scolded: "No matter how hairy you are, carefully peel off your skin." ”

The maid picked up the short sword and put it on the dresser, and sneered: "I will get married soon, how unlucky it is to kill people at this time." After speaking, he snatched the white cat in Qi Yu's arms and said, "Cats and dogs are not clean, you should not provoke them." With that, he put the cat on the ground and stomped his feet, and the cat "meowed" and ran out.

"Yo, our Ling'er girl also knows that she is distressed, do you want to go with my sister!"

The maid snorted coldly when she heard this, and said, "The person is yours, what's the point of me going?" Dangling in front of your eyes all day long, still not suspicious? Besides, he raised me so big, how could he let me go. You used 5,000 taels to redeem yourself, and I need at least 500 taels, right? Five hundred taels of silver, I don't have it, will you give it? ”

Qi Yu leaned in front of the dresser and sneered, "What are these words, a good sister for so many years." You have opened Chrysostom, can I see death without saving it? ”

When Ling'er heard this, she hesitated. Qi Yu walked over and helped Ling'er's shoulder, and slowly kneaded it, and the maid Ling'er followed her kneading, and her face was flushed.

"Knock, knock, knock" Footsteps suddenly sounded at the top of the staircase.

Qi Yu threw away Ling'er, grabbed the short sword on the dresser, and asked, "Who!" ”

"It's me." An old man in his early fifties replied. He had gray hair and wore a royal blue forged robe with an embroidered gold ribbon around his waist.

"What are you doing at such a late hour?" Qi Yu put away his sword and asked coldly.

"What, when you climb the high branches, you are in a hurry to get rid of the old people?" The old man smiled, and suddenly reached out to touch Qi Yu's stomach. Qi Yu hurriedly took a step back, and the short sword in his hand was across his chest.

The old man stood up, and in order to hide his embarrassed expression, he coughed lightly.

"No, people are old and decrepit, and if you don't sell yourself, someone will be suspicious."

The old man sneered and said, "It's too late to say anything now, I'm just not worth it for you, a flower is stuck in cow dung." I just can't figure it out, there are so many talented sons in the capital, why did you fall in love with him? What kind of thing is he? ……”

"He's the only one who treats me as a human being." Qi Yu snorted and said, "I'm going to redeem Ling'er, you can make a price." ”

"Ling'er was raised by me......"

"How about five hundred taels?" Qi Yu unceremoniously interrupted the old man's words, she opened the drawer of the dresser, grabbed out a handful of gold and silver jewelry and put it in front of the old man. The old man smiled, his eyes fixed on a pair of jade bracelets on Qi Yu's wrists, and Qi Yu took off the bracelets and put them on the pile of jewelry without hesitation.

The old man glanced at Ling'er, slowly picked up the jade bracelet and put it in his arms, wrapped the remaining jewelry with a square scarf, held it in the palm of his hand, and sneered: "I don't want these things for you, and I will still give them back to you when I turn them into dowries." After speaking, he hummed with his hands behind his back.

"Sister." Ling'er's face was full of tears, and she knelt in front of Qi Yu with a pop......

Yang Hao gently put the roof tile back in its place, and all the mysteries in his heart were solved:

Qi Yu is not a woman from a good family, she is a high-level secret prostitute and a veteran of the flower field.

The stupid overlord who had nothing to do was bewitched by her beauty and charm, and couldn't extricate himself, but because of the strict family rules, he didn't dare to let Mrs. Zhang know.

Qi Yu naturally knew that it was not easy to marry into the Hou Mansion, and she was pregnant with the flesh and blood of the dumb overlord, which was to cater to Mrs. Zhang's eagerness to hug her grandson.

She tried her best to dress up as the daughter of a pure white family, also to eliminate Mrs. Zhang's discrimination against her.

It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, the dumb overlord was unexpectedly unconscious, how could Qi Yu, who is a pariah, dare to visit the Hou Mansion? Without evidence, she didn't dare to say that the child in her belly was a dumb bully?

Yang Hao privately speculated that if the Dull Overlord died on the Dragon Boat Festival, Qi Yu might not have left the child in his belly. It is the faintness of the dumb overlord that supports her to this day.

"Dull Overlord" has not been to see her since she woke up, and she had to find Yin Tongxiang to help. At the same time, the news of her pregnancy also spread to the Xining Hou Mansion and reached Mrs. Zhang's ears, this is not a coincidence, this should be her careful arrangement.

Yang Hao was a little disgusted with Qi Yu's scheming, but he was also moved by Qi Yu's deep love for the dumb overlord, and even more applauded Qi Yu for redeeming Ling'er by exhausting his net worth, and secretly rejoiced in the "dumb overlord" who had been wandering for nine days.
