Chapter 34: A Thousand Dusts

Qiu Yumeng sneered and stopped talking.

Lei Ming was bored, so he had to look at Dai Zhen: "Girl, I have covered your tonight, and there are 1,000 taels of silver tickets here." He shook it and threw a stack of silver tickets on the table.

"One thousand taelsβ€”β€”, there are one thousand taels." The old bustard was completely unmoved when he saw Dai Zhen, and stood aside to try his best to mention it.

"Uncle, I think you're mistaken, I'm only an artist." Dai Zhen tried to make herself as pleasant as possible.

"Do you dare to refuse, do you know who I am?" Lei Ming felt a big loss of face in front of him, and at this moment he was rejected by a lowly prostitute, and he felt even more gloomy on his face, and he suddenly lost his temper.

Dai Zhen pretended to be scared and lowered her head and took a few steps back. In fact, with her martial arts, why should she be afraid of anyone here.

"Brother Lei, you have to be willing to talk about this kind of thing, other girls don't like it, so you shouldn't force it!" Autumn Dream stretched out his hand and grasped the claws of Thunder that was about to reach out. "I just like to force ......," he said, about to rush forward. Tonight, the autumn dream embarrassed him more than once, and at this moment, he was even more dissatisfied with him by preventing him from getting close to a prostitute.

Qiu Yanmeng also couldn't bear this vulgar hall master, and directly grabbed the other party's front and said, "You dare!" ”

The tense atmosphere was very strong.

Instead, Lei Ming calmed down first, he shook off Qiu Yanmeng's hand vigorously, straightened his placket, and then said, "We seem to be talking about the alliance, but ...... You and I seem to be very out of tune. Hum! Let's go," he threw away in a huff, and the banquet broke up.

The old bustard cursed softly at Dai Zhen: "I don't know what to lift." Then he accompanied him and sent the guest out.

Dai Zhen was bored, picked up the piano and had to leave.

Qiu Yanmeng suddenly stopped: "You come here, drink with me!" ”

Dai Zhen had no choice but to sit down beside him, but the wine was drunk by him alone, and in a blink of an eye, the two pots of wine had bottomed out, and Qiu Wanmeng's eyes were also intoxicated.

"It's even more sorrowful to drown your sorrows with wine!" Dai Zhen only dared to persuade gently.

Qiu Yumeng said: "How do you know that I am worried, maybe I am happy to drink." ”

Dai Zhen pressed his inclined flask and said, "I can't say for others, but for Your Excellency, I can see that you are not a person who drinks because you are happy." She had taken a great interest in the deep, reserved man, "I-don't I look like someone you know?" ”

Qiu Yanmeng glanced at Dai Scar with reddish eyes, pursed his lips and smiled bitterly: "It's because of the likeness that it's painful......" He seemed to suddenly remember something extremely unpleasant, poured a few sips of wine into his mouth, and then angrily lifted off a table of dishes, and roared as if venting: "I have never liked to be the master of the hall, I work so hard just to give you a decent and prosperous life, I want you to know that what he can give you, I can also give you...... But you always look down on me in your heart, and I can't compare to him, right? There was a little whimper in the roar, which made people tremble, but this sound came from the manly man's autumn dream.

"You've drunk too much!" Demarks didn't know how to appease the wounded man.

"I drank too much." Qiu Yanmeng was awake for a few minutes, and after wiping his hand heavily on his eyes, he seemed to have become the hall master of Tanyun Hall that everyone feared.

"You'd better not talk about tonight." Before leaving, he didn't forget to tell Dai Zhen that he could have killed her in order to maintain his glorious image, but unfortunately he was reluctant, just because she was very similar to that person.

"Yes, the concubine didn't see anything, didn't hear anything, please go slowly."

After the autumn remnant dream left, Dai Zhen changed into a night clothes, she really wanted to follow to see what kind of story was hidden behind such a man.

Dai Zhen came to the north courtyard of Tanyun Hall, crossed the flower path, and saw that the lights were still on in the east wing, so he stepped forward, jumped lightly, and went to the roof, and then hooked the eaves with both feet, put his body on the window lattice, poked a hole in the window paper with his fingers, and came up with his eyes to watch the movement in the room.

There was a stunning woman in the room who was talking: "Tang Huan reported to me that tonight's matter was not negotiated, right?" ”

Qiu Yanmeng just kept a straight face, but didn't answer a word.

"Why?" The woman's face was also very ugly.

"No why."

"Don't you know that now Yuxiang and Zichen are secretly colluding with each other to grow their power, Xingfeng Hall is deeply respected by the landlord, and they can be in charge alone, at present, only Tanyun Hall and Dianjiang Hall are in their own ways, and there is always a danger of being annexed, and you are already in a gap with Xiao Jing, the master of Yuxiang Hall. The top priority is to quickly form an alliance with Dianjiangtang, but you ...... In this way......"

"Enough!" Qiu Yanmeng suddenly stood up from his seat and said, "I don't want to listen to you anymore, I know the current situation better than you, I have my own measure, and I don't need you ......to work hard."

"What did you say?" The woman suddenly threw a teapot on the ground in a fit of rage, "Shouldn't a wife worry about her husband's safety and future, do you think of me as your wife, and what should I do?" ”

"You ......" Qiu Yumeng wanted to speak again and again, and finally brushed his sleeves away, "I'll go to Nanting to inspect and inspect, and when you're angry, I'll come back." ”

As soon as the door closed, the woman's tears "fell", in fact, she had endured it for a long time. Dai Zhen, who was hanging outside, couldn't help but feel heartache: "Stupid, in front of him, what else do you pretend to be strong?" ”

Dai Zhen finally knew her task, which was to create contradictions between the already conflicted lovers.

For more than a month after that, Qiu Wanmeng had to linger in the Orchid Courtyard every day.

Finally, Dai Zhen saw the opportunity and took advantage of the opportunity to finally get rid of the status of a prostitute and become the personal maid of the wife of the head of Tanyun Hall, Hong Xueyi.

On this day, Dai Zhen, as usual, went to the east wing to clean first. For some reason, Madame Red went out early, and all that was left in the room was the autumn dream of seeing her stunned.

Dai Scar secretly rejoiced, and glanced at the painting on the wall, she was indeed dressed according to the woman in the painting today.

Qiu Yanmeng couldn't help but pull her to sit down in front of the dresser, solemnly took out a moist and lovely pearl hairpin from the gold box, and gently inserted it into her bun: "You seem to be more like her before......"

"The concubine is willing to be her shadow, as long as you are happy."

Qiu Yumeng finally showed a rare smile: "Let's go to Meiling Xiaozhu, that place is good to see the snow scene...... It's not bad to look at people's backs. ”

That evening, Madame Red returned with several wounds.

Dai Zhen hurriedly cleaned her, bandaged her, and then helped her to the dresser to remove her makeup.

"You haven't seen the hall master for a day today?" Madame Red asked suddenly.

"Nope." Dai Zhen trembled slightly, but fortunately he didn't move much, and he was not noticed by the shrewd Red Lady. Actually, she has been with Autumn Remnant Dream all day today. She has always been accustomed to lying and deceiving people, but she does not want to deceive Madame Red anyway.

"Have you seen my red-tailed hairpin?" Madame Red saw that the important things in the gold box were missing, and she seemed anxious.

"Nope." Dai Zhen raised her eyes slightly, only to remember that this pearl hairpin was still inserted in her head, and in fear, the comb fell off, but she didn't even dare to bow down to pick it up, for fear that if she lowered her head, she would be seen by Mrs. Hong, and she didn't dare to imagine what she would be sad after Madame Red found out the truth.

Perhaps, women are naturally easy to sympathize with women, just because everyone will be powerless in the face of fate.

"I didn't say you took it, what are you afraid of...... Alright, go down and rest! Madame Red waved her hand tiredly at Dai Chen, who was relieved and hurried out of the door.

When she passed through the gate of the garden and was about to return to her room, two dark shadows suddenly appeared from the sky, one of whom tied her hands, and the other covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, which was coated with a faint* medicine. But how profound Dai Zhen's internal skills were, and what could a little sweat pill do to her, but she remembered that the elder had instructed her when he was leaving, that she could not use martial arts at any time, so she had to pretend to be unconscious.

When she opened her eyes, she found herself suspended in mid-air, there were no windows in the room, only a little oil lamp in front of the shrine was emitting a faint light, and in front of her was a middle-aged man with a scar on his face and very cold eyes.

The middle-aged man said, "You are now in the prison cell of the Imperial Fragrance Hall, and it is the hall master Xiao Jing below." ”

"But I'm not your prisoner. ”

Xiao Jing sneered: "Except for me, whoever comes here is a prisoner." ”

Dai Zhen said: "Your people are too unplanted, just catch me such an insignificant little girl, and ask two strong men with martial arts to join forces, it's really a wretch!" ”

Xiao Jing said: "It is worthy of being the confidant of the autumn remnant dream, and at this moment, his face does not change, and his words are sharp...... I guess he must have taken a high value of you, too. Suddenly, a sinister smile appeared on his face.

Dai Zhen couldn't help but change color and said, "What the hell are you doing?" ”

"Nothing, just trying to borrow something from you."

The next morning, in the east wing of the south courtyard of Tanyun Hall.

Madame Red gradually became a little unable to sit still, and Qiu Wanmeng paced back and forth in the room.

"Are you worried about tonight's joust?" Madame Red asked deliberately, she had actually guessed what Qiu Wanmeng was nervous about. "It's weird, it's all this hour, why haven't you seen this girl yet, where did she go?" Madame Red wanted to further confirm what Qiu Wanmeng cared about, and sure enough, as soon as he mentioned Dai Ke, his expression would change very inadvertently, and Madame Hong's firm belief was also shaking gently.

At this moment, something broke through the window, and a note was nailed to the table.

Qiu Yanmeng picked up the note and glanced at it slightly, then slapped the table angrily.

"Say what?" The Red Lady also became nervous.

Qiu Yanmeng endured it, but still said truthfully: "Xiao Jing grabbed Dai Marks and wanted to coerce me to give up the dispute over the landlord." ”
