Chapter 44: Ten Thousand Taels (20)

The Queen Mother said softly: "Princess Zoya, your country is different, and there must be some different customs and speech habits, so it is not surprising that there will be a misunderstanding between you and Jie'er." ”

Zoya: "I have been learning your Chinese since I was a child, and I can still hear the light words, don't you understand the language of your Eastern Chu Kingdom when we are in the Western Wan Kingdom?" This person communicated with me at that time, did he ever feel that I was from Xiwan? ”

Yang Jie hurriedly said: "The princess didn't say a few words from beginning to end that day, and it is natural that I can't hear the abnormality." ”

"You ......," Zoya said to him, so she looked at her brother for help.

Du Lin was also very annoyed, he had heard from the secret guard who was looking for Zoya that day, that his sister was harassed by several disciples, but fortunately others came to the rescue, so there was no danger. I don't want to be one of the disciples in front of me now, but the light words at that time were said by the other party to be good words and persuasion.

It's just that this is the scene of diplomatic relations between the two countries, if you don't want the two countries to go to war, Du Lin can only endure it for the time being, and wants to clean up a Yang Jie, and there will be opportunities in the future. He said: "Zuoya, I think this matter, whether it is me, or His Majesty the Emperor of the Eastern Chu Kingdom, I will send someone to investigate it in detail before making a conclusion......," he said, looking at Emperor Sima Xiu.

Sima Xiu hurriedly said: "Exactly, I will send someone to investigate this matter, whether Yang Qing offended the princess, or whether he was kind enough to persuade him, I must find out clearly and give the princess an explanation." Today's banquet not only ordered people to prepare good wine and food, but also sang and danced. ”

Zoya was about to speak, but Du Lin had already taken the lead in speaking: "Naturally, it's good." ”

"Big brother...... Zoya called angrily. She was worried that the Eastern Chu State was just perfunctory to her and would not investigate at all.

Du Lin: "Sister, the so-called gentleman has no jokes, His Majesty the Emperor has already said so, he will naturally send someone to investigate this matter, and you will enjoy the banquet for the time being today!" After saying that, he glanced at Zoya and signaled that she should not dwell on the matter any longer.

Zoya had no choice but to sit down first, but when she saw Yang Jie sitting leisurely opposite, her face didn't matter, obviously thinking that she couldn't do anything about her, she couldn't help but be even more angry in her heart, and felt that even if she crushed such a villain, it would not be too much.

When the feast was over, Zoya left in a huff, and Durin called her, but she pretended not to hear. When I got out of the palace and took the carriage to the post house where the envoy lived, I heard many people talking about the Cuihong Mansion along the way, saying that there were many strange women and so on.

Zoya was curious, and asked the palace maid who accompanied her what kind of place the Emerald Red Mansion was. The palace maid is also a person from Xiwan Kingdom, where does she know what the Cuihong Mansion is, so she can only let the carriage stop and let the entourage inquire.

When the entourage came back with a strange face and told her that the Cuihong Mansion was a brothel, Zoya became even more curious, and said: "Although there are many people who can sing and dance in our brothel there, I haven't seen anyone who can be called a strange woman." ”

The palace maid said: "Your Highness, don't listen to those people's nonsense, maybe their definition of a strange woman in the Eastern Chu Kingdom is different from our Xiwan Kingdom!" ”

Zoya immediately remembered that the Queen Mother said at the banquet that because of the different language habits of Xiwan and Dongchu, she misunderstood Yang Jie, and she was angry, and said, "What difference can there be?" It's just you people who are looking for a reason to prevaricate me! ”

The palace maid was startled, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, the slave maid doesn't dare!" ”

Zoya snorted, waited to return to the inn, then disguised herself, took a few entourages and staggered towards the Emerald Red Mansion.

In the Cuihong Building, Zhao Feiyan, who was lying on the window and looking down the street, closed the window, sat down at the table, and said, "Sister, as you said, that princess of Xiwan Kingdom is coming here, but she is dressed as a man." ”

Chu Nian pursed his lips and smiled.

Zhao Feiyan said: "Sister, can this princess of Xiwan really help us clean up that Yang Jie?" ”

Chu Nian: "I just have this guess. ”

Zhao Feiyan stared at her.

Chu Nianqi said: "Why are you staring at me like this?" ”

Zhao Feiyan: "Sister, I used to think that you were talented and the only person I admired. But now I find that your greatest strength is not your talent, but your intelligence. Wisdom is unparalleled! Her tone was full of exclamation.

Chu Nian said a little helplessly: "I was forced out." In her view, talent is the source of intelligence, so the two are closely linked.

Zhao Feiyan burst out laughing when she heard this, and said, "Sister, what I said is good. If you weren't so witty and good at scheming, I'm afraid we would have been killed by that Yang Jie. Later, she couldn't laugh anymore.

Chu Nian couldn't help but sigh. Zhao Feiyan is right, the original owner Tong Nian has already been killed by the scourge.

When Zoya arrived at the gate of the Emerald Red Mansion, she was stopped by the entourage who followed: "Princess, if you enter this place, your reputation ......"

"Yo, a few young masters, don't stand at the door, come in!" Before he finished saying that he didn't want to follow, several girls poured out of the Cuihong Building, and dragged them into the Cuihong Building.

The entourage wanted to break free, but seeing that Zoya had already entered the Emerald Red Mansion leisurely, they were so frightened that they hurriedly followed.

As soon as the old bustard saw the clothes and bearing of these people, he knew that they were not ordinary people, so he hurriedly greeted him and said, "Yo, a few masters, look at the eyes, let's come for the first time, do you have a favorite girl?" ”

Zoya said: "I heard that your emerald red mansion is a place dedicated to strange women? She really wanted to see the "strange woman" in the eyes of the people of Eastern Chu.

When the bustard heard her speak, she was sure that she was a woman, but as long as she gave money, she could pretend not to see it. She also saw that all the entourages behind this girl were not simple, so she didn't dare to make a mistake.

She said with a smile on her face: "Son, you are right, in this capital, who doesn't know that the girls in our Cuihong Mansion are all amazing......"

"That's what you call out?" Zoya pointed to the girl who pulled her in, worse than the last palace maid in her palace. Of course, there is no comparison between the girl in the brothel and the maid in her palace, but it is too much to say "surprising".

The old bustard said: "Son, look at what you said, you need to know that the girls here are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and this level is different, and the silver needed is also different!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Zoya.

Zoya was about to signal her entourage to take the money, but she didn't want to hear an elegant voice at the door: "Mama!" ”

"Ouch, it's Lan Gongzi!" The old bustard hurriedly saluted the scholar who walked in.

Zoya turned her head to look at the scholar who came in, and saw that he was handsome, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and his demeanor and conversation were very dusty.
