Chapter 54: The Portrait Is Complete
Hearing the name of "Chunyi", Lin Yufu was stunned and said, "She, can she draw?" ”
"Have you seen her?"
Lin Yufu nodded and told all the things of yesterday.
"That Li Gongzi hasn't left yet?" When Zhao Yuru heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes.
"He has been living in Qinyunju for half a year, and all he eats is Chunyi money. A big man, do you want to be shameless? ”
Seeing that her words were exactly the same as those of the old bustard, Lin Yufu suddenly stopped talking.
"Wait a minute, look at your appearance, you won't give that Li Gongzi money, right?" She thought for a while, looked at Lin Yufu and asked.
"I only gave him a little bit so that he could find a place to live and study hard for the future!"
"For the future?" Zhao Yuru was so angry that she was about to roll her eyes.
"Okay, come with me now!" She clapped her hands, pulled Lin Yufu and was about to leave.
"Where to go?"
"Go and see where your ring is!" Zhao Yuru glanced at her disdainfully, and then took her away.
The carriage galloped and soon stopped in front of a casino in Shangjing.
"It's ······"
"Shilai Gambling House is the largest gambling house in Beijing! Their boss is a good friend of Zeng's mother, and the hat is on, and I will show you the world! ”
Saying that, she opened the curtain of the gambling house, and Lin Yufu followed her in, and before she could take two steps, she was grabbed by a man with a mouth full of blood.
"Please, lend me some money! I'm going to be able to turn the tables right away! ”
Lin Yufu frowned and kicked him away.
Soon several big men came over and pulled the man away.
Lin Yufu looked around, and those people had bloodshot eyes one by one, staring intently at the dice on the table. There was a man who dragged a little girl about ten years old and had to be stuffed into a man's arms.
"I'll sell my daughter to you, hurry up and give me the money!"
"Your daughter hasn't grown yet!" The man frustrated his nails and said, "This look, Qin Yunju won't want it!" ”
The little girl was crying deafeningly, but it did not affect the interest of the people in the slightest.
"! Useless stuff! When the man saw that his daughter could not change the money, he angrily threw her to the ground and stepped forward and stepped on her feet.
"What's the use of raising you, you can't exchange it for me silver!"
Seeing this, Lin Yufu naturally couldn't sit still, so she stepped forward to stop her. But he was pulled by Zhao Yuru.
"What are you going to do?"
"This person is selling his daughter!" Lin Yufu asked puzzledly, "Shouldn't we help him?" ”
"You helped with this, and there will be ten daughters in line to find you later!" Zhao Yuru said coldly: "How many can you help?" ”
"Is it possible to watch her being beaten like this?"
"This is their fate, we can only blame her for not being good-looking, if she is more beautiful, we will buy her in Qinyunju!" Zhao Yuru's voice did not fluctuate, as if the things in front of her had nothing to do with her!
"You can also buy it back and make a maid!" Lin Yufu was a little unbearable.
"We are a green building, not a charity hall, and we can't support so many idlers!" Zhao Yuru pulled Lin Yufu and skipped the father and daughter directly, and then came to the front of the man.
"Yo, aren't you the head of Mr. Zhao?" The man hurriedly stepped forward and turned his head to look at Lin Yufu, and he could feel this woman's unusual temperament through the veil.
"This is ······"
"This is the Yufu girl of Qinyunju!" Zhao Yuru smiled and said, "Mingye, don't you know each other?" ”
"Miss Yufu!" When Ming Ye heard this, he immediately put down the file in his hand and looked at Lin Yufu and said, "What kind of wind blew you here?" ”
Lin Yufu glanced back at Zhao Yuru, not knowing what to say.
"Miss Yufu lost a ring yesterday, and it is estimated that it was taken away, so come here to look for it!"
"Rings?" Ming Ye frowned, and then said, "What kind of ring?" ”
"A ruby ring!" Lin Yufu replied honestly, but she probably guessed the purpose of Zhao Yuru bringing her to come!
"Oh, we did get one this morning!" Ming Ye understood, he beckoned, and soon a little brother brought a tray, which was full of jewelry used as collateral.
Zhao Yuru stretched out his hand and stepped forward, flipped through it casually, and found the ring that Lin Yufu took off to Li Gongzi last night!
Although mentally prepared, when she saw the ring, Lin Yufu still opened her mouth incredibly.
He ······ Did he gamble on it? ”
Zhao Yuru sneered and threw two silver ingots into the tray.
"Thank you, Master Ming, when I let my brother come to you another day, check it looser!"
These two ingots of silver are naturally not enough for the money of this ring, but with Zhao Yuru's words, it is better than any money!
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Ming Ye presented the ring with both hands, then glanced at Lin Yufu and said, "Miss Yufu, I heard that you had an accident in the Taishi Mansion?" ”
Lin Yufu and Zhao Yuru's faces instantly darkened a little.
"How do you know about this?" Lin Yufu said unhappily.
"Oh, Miss Yufu, don't be surprised, I have a lot of people here, and there is a lot of gossip. That is, a few guests mentioned it, and I have no other malicious intentions, I just care about you! ”
Lin Yufu said coldly: "I'm fine!" You can rest assured! ”
"That's good! I'll definitely visit Qinyunju another day! ”
Lin Yufu wanted to refuse, but was kicked by Zhao Yuru, and then said with a smile: "That Yufu girl must be welcome!" ”
After saying that, he took her and left.
They didn't see Li Gongzi, but the little girl's cry still made Lin Yufu can't help but turn around.
"Don't look back, if you look again, you're going to be relied upon!"
Zhao Yuru didn't say much, took her back to the carriage directly, and then gave her the ring.
"Wear it, don't give it to others stupidly!"
Lin Yufu held this ring with a complicated expression. It turned out that the person who was wrong was not the old bustard, nor the new tea, but herself!
"I really admire you, a man like Li Gongzi can lie to you, you still want to fight with Yan Linjun?"
"yes, I'm really, so naïve!"
Zhao Yuru rolled her eyes, sometimes she really wanted to knock her head hard to see what she was in her head?
"I really don't know that people's hearts can be so bad!" Lin Yufu's tone was a little sad, Zhao Yuru was stunned for a moment, and then sighed.
"That's it, you're a hero on the battlefield, it's easy to dodge with open guns, but it's hard to defend against hidden arrows! It is not surprising that you are too bright and upright to understand the darkness of human nature! ”
Lin Yufu didn't speak, just leaned against the car window and didn't say a word.
"Don't you think it's strange, though?" Zhao Yuru looked at her and asked, "Why did the matter of you in the Taishi Mansion come out?" ”
"It's not surprising that there are so many people!"
"Strange!" Zhao Yuru patted her thigh and said, "The only people who saw you and Xu Shu'an together that day were Xu Zhaoyi, me and Zhuang Yuanlang, and the prince!" Xu Shu'an's reputation is more important than yours, Xu Zhaoyi will not say it! Then you say, who else? ”
Lin Yufu was stunned, looked at her and said, "Lord Wang? ”
"It's just a guess, maybe the mouthy slave didn't get punished!" Zhao Yuru cupped his cheeks and said: "It's not this that is in trouble now, the trouble is that the people in Taishi Mansion promise to think that you spread these rumors!" Hey, I'm afraid I'm going to offend people! ”
"If it's the prince, why would he do it?" Lin Yufu said with some puzzlement: "He clearly said, believe me!" ”
"Oh? He said so? ”
Lin Yufu nodded, thought about it for a while, and told Zhao Yuru about the things in the carriage, including Yan Linjun kissing her!
"What, what kind of disparity of identity do you say? He's so active, you can just push the boat and ······ with him in the carriage." Zhao Yuru spread his hands, and then said: "No, no, my first time is so precious, it can't be in the carriage." But you're a real disappointment! ”
"Isn't it fun?"
"When you're confused, you have to say something unpleasant, aren't you ruined?"
"How do I know that Yan Linjun will be unhappy because of this sentence?" Lin Yufu said with some grievances.
Zhao Yuru nodded her head and said: "Think about it, you are a woman in a green house, and you were carried into the mansion by him in a high-profile manner, and even made it clear in front of the emperor that he wanted to marry you as a concubine." No matter what the purpose is, at least it shows that he is not afraid of the world's eyes! I'm really angry, but if you are with me, no, if you are like Xincha, you will not have slept with the prince now! ”
Lin Yufu was extremely shy when she was said, and she blushed and didn't speak.
"You study hard in Qinyunju!"
"Oh!" Lin Yufu said obediently.
"But seriously, you have to be prepared to be blamed by the Taishi Mansion!"
"I will!"
The two returned all the way back to Qinyunju, and when the old bustard saw Zhao Yuru and Lin Yufu walking down hand in hand, his face became a little unsightly.
"Sect Leader Zhao, are you here again?" The old bustard said without raising his eyes.
Zhao Yuru was stunned, this old bustard, how did his attitude change today? I'm afraid I didn't eat leopard gall?
"What's the matter, Mother Zeng, don't want to see me?"
The bustard glanced at the two of them and wanted to say something, but he still held back.
"Yufu, you go up first, I have something to tell Sect Chief Zhao!"
"Mom?" Lin Yufu didn't understand what was going on, why her mother had this expression when she saw Zhao Yuru.
"Don't let Miss Yufu avoid it, I know what you're going to say!" Zhao Yuru said nonchalantly: "Aren't you afraid that we will sing a play "Sympathy Companion" and affect your cash cow?" ”
When the old bustard saw that Zhao Yuru said a showdown, he didn't shy away from it, and said directly: "Our Yufu, it's the prince's person, the head of the sect, you want to have fun, go to the Xianggu Pavilion opposite, what does it mean to come to my girl?" ”
"Mom, don't worry, I'm about to get married, that's just a joke made by the county lord of Yulin. I'm simple-minded to Miss Yufu! ”
"Humph!" The old bustard snorted coldly and did not speak.
"Alright, we still have business to do, call Miss Chunyi out!"
"Chunyi is locked up by me!"
"I'll pay!" Zhao Yuru walked up to the old bustard and said, "By the way, let her die of that wild man's thoughts!" ”
"Oh?" The old bustard looked at Zhao Yuru, for some reason, looking at her, there was always a sense of familiarity, especially that look, which was exactly the same as Lin Yufu!
"Sect Chief Zhao, do you still have this ability?"
"Is there any, don't you know if you give it a try? Don't call people out yet? She took some money and handed it to the bustard, who smiled and walked away.
Lin Yufu watched Zhao Yuru and the old bustard communicating freely, and she was still a little envious in her heart. Thinking that Zhao Yuru is really good, from the emperor to the gambler, he can communicate freely. After talking a few more words to Yan Linjun, he blushed and his heart beat, and he didn't know why.
"Go back to your room and wait!" Zhao Yuru struggled to climb the stairs.
"What kind of drama is "Sympathy Companion"? Why haven't I heard of it? ”
"Huh? It's nothing, it's just the story of two women who love each other! Zhao Yuru smiled at her, and then walked into the room first.
"Two women? Love? Lin Yufu was stunned for a moment, and said slowly: "It's okay like this······"
Soon Chunyi came in, she was covered in injuries, changed her clothes casually, and walked in very haggard.
When she saw Lin Yufu, her tears fell again.
"Sister Yufu! I ······"
"You get up first!" Zhao Yuru stepped forward a little and didn't let her kneel down.
"Don't be so affectionate, don't you know yesterday that your son-in-law Li deceived Lin Yufu's ring and went to gamble again!" Zhao Yuru sat down and said coldly.
"What?" Chunyi was a little unconvinced.
"If you don't believe me, you can ask for yourself!" Zhao Yuru picked up the ring and put it on the table, and said disdainfully: "Chunyi, you are really stupid when you say that you are stupid, you have been in Qinyunju for so many years, haven't you seen enough of those scenes of those people who are thin and affectionate?" Now you go to the ditch behind the gambling house and look for it, and maybe you can find your lover! ”
"No······ Impossible! Chunyi shook her head, as if she didn't believe it yet.
Zhao Yuru sighed, and then took out a deed of sale from one of his boxes.
Lin Yufu looked at this deed of sale and felt a little puzzled.
"It's your deed of sale! Do you still recognize it? She handed the deed of sale to Chunyi.
"It's not ······ Didn't I just redeem it from my mother two months ago? Chunyi was stunned, two months ago, Li Gongzi won a lot of money from the casino, and redeemed her deed of sale as soon as he was happy. But before Chunyi packed up her things and left with him, Li Gongzi lost it again, and in desperation, she could only continue to stay in Qinyunju and make money for Li Gongzi!
"If you look closely, is it redeemed by my mother?"
She was stunned for a moment, looked at the payment, and it was actually the chapter of the master of the gambling house!
"This ······"
"He took your deed of sale with the front foot, and lost to Ming Ye with the back foot! If it's not me······ If it weren't for Lin Yufu asking her mother to take the money to help you redeem it again, do you think you would still be in Qinyunju now? I was sold to a secret prostitution room a long time ago, and I was tortured day and night! ”
Lin Yufu didn't expect that Li Gongzi's behavior was even worse than she imagined!
Chunyi slumped to the ground, looked at the deed of sale in front of him, and cried loudly.
Zhao Yuru sat on the side, took a sip of tea, looked at Lin Yufu and said, "See, I don't know people clearly, this is the end!" ”
Lin Yufu glanced at Chunyi, who was immersed in sadness, and shook her head.
"You redeemed this deed of sale?" She asked in a whisper.
"Or else?" Zhao Yuru glanced at her and said: "This is not how you want to help people, let her completely wake up is to help her." Like you, it's useless to give as much as you want! It's just a bottomless pit! ”
Lin Yufu listened, nodded and said, "I didn't expect you to be so cold-blooded and cold-hearted!" ”
"I just can't bear to see the sisters in the building being bought as secret prostitutes, that's not how people can live! When you encounter this kind of thing in the future, you must think twice before making a decision. This is not a battlefield, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, you don't understand whether the person you helped will stab you in the back! Look at your ring, it's the best proof of that! Believe it or not, if we don't go to Ming Ye today, Li Gongzi will come to you again at night! ”
"But I thought they were genuinely in love!"
Zhao Yuru was stunned, looked at Chunyi, who was still crying, and said with a wry smile: "Maybe I loved it, half a year ago, at Chunyi's first night auction, she refused and swallowed gold." It was Li Gongzi who saw her and rescued her, and then bought her first night with a lot of money. Since then, Li Gongzi has lived in Qinyunju. He is also the son of a wealthy man in the local area, and the two of them were like fish in water at the beginning, so happy, but after a long time, I don't know why Li Gongzi fell into the vice of gambling. After that, the money is lost, and that's it! Speaking of this, Zhao Yuru also breathed a sigh of relief and did not continue.
"I see!" Lin Yufu nodded.
Maybe the two have been in love, but how much reliable love can an unreliable man give?
After Chunyi cried, she folded the deed of sale and put it in her arms.
"You're not going to destroy it?" Zhao Yuru asked curiously.
"Nope! I have to remind myself all the time not to be easily deceived by men anymore! Chunyi's eyes have been much firmer, and he has figured it out when he looks at it.
She stood up, looked at Lin Yufu, knelt down and kowtowed three times.
"Hurry up!" Lin Yufu was a little overwhelmed.
"Sister Yufu, it's me who blames you. I'll find a way to pay you back the money from the deed of sale! ”
Lin Yufu smiled slightly, helped her up and said, "As long as you figure it out, it's okay if you don't pay back the money, just ask you to do one thing!" ”
"What?"
"Let you help me draw a picture! Draw a person! ”
Half a month later, Qi Yun, who was far away in the northern Xinjiang, was sitting in the camp tent looking at the map, and his lieutenant came in, saluted and said: "Qi Shuai, there is nothing abnormal in the Northern Barbarians recently, but it is too quiet, but it is not normal!" ”
Qi Yun raised his head, his beard was already gray, but his eyes were still as sharp as ever.
"Tell me!"
"The Great Commander of Khurtu of the Northern Barbarians died, and the day before yesterday, Grand went back with his corpse. It stands to reason that the alternation of power in the Grand Ruling Family will cause some disputes, but ······"
"Don't underestimate Grand! Don't focus on the alternation of power in the Grand Ruling Family! The people behind Grand are the key! ”
The lieutenant bowed his head and did not speak, when a small soldier shouted outside the tent.
"Qi Shuai! Letter from Mr. Zhao! ”
"Oh? Zhao Yuru, this girl, actually thought of me? He smiled and motioned for the creeps to come in.
A letter, and a painting!
After reading the letter, Qi Yun was silent for a while, slowly opened the painting, and his face immediately changed!
The adjutant general didn't know why, so he stepped forward and was stunned.
"This ······"
Qi Yun put away the painting, sighed and said, "I really guessed it!" ”
Su Meng on the painting was lifelike, Qi Yun picked up a pen and paper and wrote a reply to Zhao Yuru.
"This person is, the third prince of the Northern Barbarians, Sumon Bottas!"
