Chapter 22: The Depths of Concealment
While Lin Yue was thinking, he heard Lu Jingshuo's words.
"Okay, then you can take my cousin to the private room for a while, and find a few girls to go up and sing for him." Lin Yue saw that when Lu Jingshuo was talking, her eyes fell on her face.
This made Lin Yue feel embarrassed.
Ah Jing asked her to listen to the girls sing? Is there any mistake?
Lin Yue took a hard breath in his heart.
In the first life, no girl dared to talk to Ah Jing like this. Therefore, even if Ah Jing went to Yinghualou with her, he didn't say anything to the women over there.
But today, Ah Jing asked her to go up and listen to the music. She really didn't expect that as soon as she traveled back to the first life, she would see such a Jing.
Lin Yue held back the nameless anger that rose in her heart, and was about to say to the woman in red that it was better to let her cousin listen to the tune for a while first. But after thinking about it, then whoever is here is here, whether she likes to listen or not, what does it have to do with her?
As soon as the woman in red heard Lu Jingshuo say that, she immediately walked to Lin Yue's side and said:
"Childe, then what are you waiting for, hurry up and listen to the music with us."
Lin Yue raised her eyebrows arrogantly, quickly glanced at Lu Jingshuo's face, and said, "Okay." ”
Go and go, who can be afraid of whom?
Lin Yue followed the two women through the winding verandah, from the backyard to the miscellaneous house, and then to the pond. Then walk through a cobblestone path to the entrance of a magnificent courtyard.
Standing outside the door, Lin Yue could hear the music in the courtyard and the laughter of some aristocratic sons.
Lin Yue glanced at the face of the woman in red beside him, and Pei Yunzi's figure appeared in his mind again. Presumably, Pei Yunzi is very likely to be locked up here.
Let's go and take a look, if you can find out the news of Pei Yunzi, you can also help Ah Jing and Niu Kelian. In any case, they are all people who have been kind to them, and they have to repay them.
The two women in red both glanced at the housekeeper standing at the gate of the courtyard. The two housekeepers opened the door of the courtyard for them and invited them in.
Before Lin Yue walked into the courtyard with his feet raised, he also looked back at Lu Jingshuo not far behind him. I saw that the man was standing under the weeping willow like no one, motionless.
One of the women in red asked Lin Yue, "Son, does your cousin already have a family?" If it weren't for that, how could he not dare to approach the gate of this courtyard after coming to our master's house? ”
"Yes, my cousin already has a family. My cousin-in-law is very fierce and has a good martial arts. If you are not afraid that your master's yard will be set on fire by my cousin, then you can persuade my cousin to come in and listen to the music. ”
Lin Yue could see that the woman in red had become suspicious of Lu Jingshuo. I wanted to ask something, but it was not good to ask it directly, so I asked it in such a roundabout way.
If she doesn't answer, it will appear that she is weak-hearted.
In this way, the woman did not want to ask anything more.
When the woman in red heard this, the corners of her lips curled up with a touch of mockery, and she said:
"Childe, even if you and your cousin are both from the Imperial City, your cousin is also a famous lady in the Imperial City. Even then, your cousin-in-law would not dare to burn the yard of our master's house. If she dares to do that, I'm afraid that their whole family won't survive......"
Lin Yue snickered in her heart.
Who is His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince? That's the future son of heaven of the Jingxi Dynasty. The wife he will marry in the future must be the queen's mother.
If the queen mother set fire to the courtyard of the rich man's house, who would dare to provoke her family?
That's a big deal.
Laughing to death.
However, Lin Yue pretended to be puzzled and looked at the woman in red beside him and asked, "So, Master Ma still has a lot of friends in the imperial city." Otherwise, they wouldn't have protected you so well. ”
"Of course." The woman in red thought that this son was still young, and there were many things, even if he told him, he might not be able to understand them. So, he said with confidence:
"Master Ma has many friends in the imperial city."
Lin Yue nodded slightly, indicating that she was still listening.
The woman in red smiled sneeredly, stretched out her hand and pointed to several courtyards of the rich man's house, and said to Lin Yue:
"If it weren't for that, our master wouldn't have been able to do such a big business. You're here, and you've seen it, aren't these courtyards of our master's house much bigger than Yinghualou? Hmph, the people of the government only dare to check Yinghualou, but who dares to come to our master's house to search? ”
Lin Yue listened and asked tentatively: "It seems that Master Ma's friend should be from the palace." ”
"This, I advise you not to inquire anymore." The woman in red leaned close to Lin Yue's ear and said in a very soft voice:
"You've come to our master's yard, just drink and listen to music. If you can't ask about anything else, don't ask. Not for anything else, I'm just for your safety. You think, woe comes from the mouth. The more you know and the more you drink, the more you'll probably talk. If you talk too much, you will inevitably get into trouble......"
Lin Yue smiled lightly, "What you said is extremely true." ”
With that, he followed the two women in red into the courtyard. As soon as he came in, he saw Qiu Shi's figure. Didn't the man drink in the courtyard in front of him, and why did he come to the courtyard near the pond after only a short while?
Lin Yue felt that this matter was a little strange.
But Lu Jingshuo did not come to the courtyard, and after she traveled back to the Jingxi Dynasty, she had not practiced martial arts. If she started with Qiu Shi, she wouldn't be able to win.
It's better to take one step at a time, and then think about how to deal with Qiu Shi.
The two women in red took Lin Yue upstairs and walked into the private room on the second floor. Soon, five women dressed in very charming clothes walked in, holding pipa in their hands, and playing music for Lin Yue.
Wisps of white smoke rose from the incense burner in the private room, and the whole room was filled with a strange fragrance, or the fragrance of a ghostly flower.
Lin Yue thought to himself, it was really thanks to Ah Jing, if he hadn't given himself an antidote pill. At this moment, I was afraid that I would be dizzy from the fragrance.
Although she doesn't have any silver taels on her, she is not a man after all. If you come to such a dirty place, if you encounter any trouble, it will be difficult to escape.
After thinking about it, ordinary people come here, I'm afraid they won't last long, and they will faint. If he was too sober, he would be suspected by the two women in red.
It's better to pretend to be dizzy, lie down on the soft couch to rest, and see what they do to themselves.
Lin Yue only thought so, so he really leaned on the soft couch and closed his eyes to recuperate. Even when he heard the music, he didn't open his eyes to look at the women playing the lute.
Half an hour later.
Lin Yue heard the sound of the door closing.
It seemed that the women had left the private room.
About five minutes later, Lin Yue heard the sound of the door opening again.
A familiar female voice came:
“…… Stupid, he can't be a man. But if you bring her here, whoever she is, throw her into the secret room. At that time, let Miss Pei see that even if she doesn't agree to Qiu Gongzi, he can still have other women......"
Lin Yue had already heard it, this was Liu Yunmo's voice. I really want to open my eyes and see, why is Liu Yunmo not dead?
The carriage was in an accident, and Liu Yunmo, the woman who had hurt her, was rescued.
When she was still sitting in the carriage before, she said to Lu Jingshuo like this: "You must have deliberately let Liu Yunmo go." You're trying to arrest them, not her. ”
Lu Jingshuo listened, just smiled faintly, and did not say yes, or say no.
