The fourth prince, Yu Qiong, the son of Li Concubine.

Concubine Li's original surname is Qi, her father is a servant of the Ministry of Officials, and her brother is Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

And it just so happened that the Xie family really didn't deal with the Qi family so much, not only because of the struggle for power on the throne, but also because when Xie Chunshan was a fledgling, he exposed a case of embezzlement of military salaries, involving Li Concubine's great-grandfather, the secretary of the military department at that time.

In the end, his great-grandfather resigned and returned to his hometown, and the Qi family declined a lot.

In this way, how can the two families get along? And now that the Qi family is backed by the four princes, there will inevitably be some inhumane ideas, and it is not good to involve them.

Xie Shoushan heard Xie Xiaoyu's sigh, raised his hand and knocked her forehead, and said with a smile: "What is it worth sighing?" If it is determined that there are thieves in the drunken Red Mansion, this evil breath, the sixth uncle will really come out for you. ”

After all, his niece is a boudoir daughter, and she won't know a lot of things about Goolan Washe, but he walks in the capital all the year round, and he knows a lot of people in such places.

And in the drunken red mansion, there is just such a person, available.

Xie Xiaoyu's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard him say this, and it was much more lively, he raised his hand and pulled his sleeve and shook it gently.

Xie Shoushan understood what she meant, hoping that he would go immediately, and pointed at her nose and smiled:

"What are you anxious about? You're going to have to let me arrange it. Let's go home first today, don't worry your mother, okay? ”

Xie Xiaoyu heard that this made sense, so she had to let go of her hand and nodded obediently.

……

The Shuodu City of the Kang Dynasty was divided into an imperial city, an inner city and an outer city.

The Imperial City is naturally a royal place; The inner city is where all kinds of officials, nobles and powerful people, and wealthy merchants with quite a background and inheritance are located, and idlers cannot settle down; The outer city is very large and open, and the natural population is also large, and all kinds of people from all walks of life gather.

There are four main streets in the west of the outer city, with 16 alleys in length and width, and all kinds of shops are lined up, lively and prosperous, and even those merchants from other countries are respected for their foothold here.

There is an alley in the west of the outer city called Pink Lamp Hutong, as the name suggests, although this alley also has a variety of buying and selling shops, but the most famous is the place where you buy drunk and pick red, and sing songs at night.

And the drunken red building is one of the big and not small, although the reputation is not as good as the Cuihong Courtyard, but it is not bad, a four-storey hollow-shaped high-rise building, the middle is the patio, between the carved beams and paintings, there is often the fragrance of wine entangled.

Just like the word "drunk" in its name, in addition to the girl, the best thing in the drunken red mansion is the self-brewed drunken red wine, which is mellow and sweet, and it is evocative.

As a result, the drunken red mansion has become a favorite place for celebrities.

Quan Niang is a sister in the drunken red mansion, because her appearance is not outstanding, so she is not very famous, but she will have a good hand, so there is no shortage of guests. However, on this day, she came to the menstrual period and couldn't pick up customers, so she took off the sign, slept day and night until the most lively night, and was tidying up her temples in the house, when the door suddenly opened.

Quan Niang saw who was coming from the mirror, did not move, and only continued to comb her hair.

The man hugged her from behind, salivating and saying, "You want to kill me!" ”

Quan Niang sneered, broke free and turned around and pushed.

The man was a lean little old man, and her push caused him to stumble over the wide robe, and the man sat down on the ground immediately.

Looking at the face is the person Xie Xiaoyu painted that day, Ning Honglu, the young master of the Taixu Division, and the rare person who really has a spiritual bone in the Taixu Division-but has not yet awakened - but of course, Ning Shao Ming did not plan how to cultivate, and he was afraid that there was no possibility of awakening in this life.

Quan Niang threw the comb on the table and said angrily: "I don't know which goblin I've been to these days, I won't tell you not to come." ”

Ning Honglu jumped up and swore a curse: "I really didn't go to anyone else's place, I haven't had something to do these days." ”

Quan Niang only didn't believe it: "You? What can be the matter? I don't know which one was added to the coffin of hundreds of thousands of taels, what else could it do? ”

Ning Honglu leaned over, took a jade ring carved from mutton fat jade in his hand like a trick, and shook it in front of her eyes: "Xinhe'er, what is this?" ”

Quan Niang saw at a glance that it was a good thing, and immediately raised her eyebrows, took it in her hand and said, "Oh, this is really a good thing, where did you get it?" ”

"There is a fool who really believes in my Fu Shui, five thousand taels of silver and two jade pendants, I gave the silver and another to Qiu Niang, this jade pendant was hidden and given to you."

Quan Niang smiled, pinched the jade pendant and looked at him and asked, "That's all?" ”

"Is it less?"

"Leave it to you, not much."

Ning Honglu smiled, leaned close to her ear, and whispered a few words.

Quan Niang sneered: "Twenty-one and five, you are really greedy enough, let my husband know that I have picked you up." What about money? ”

"The silver tickets are all imprinted, so I will naturally dispose of them before giving them to you." Ning Honglu hugged her and said.

Quan Niang pouted: "In the end, I also added someone else's pocket." When will that jade pendant be taken away? ”

"Don't worry, it's been a few days, that thing is priceless, but don't lose it." Ning Honglu instructed.

"Hello, a jade pendant of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver is not a priceless treasure." Quan Niang obviously knew the details and complained.

Ning Honglu sneered: "You know a fart! If you put it away, you will put it away. ”

After that, he hugged her to kiss, but was pushed away by Quan Niang: "I'm not happy today, you go shopping elsewhere." ”

Ning Honglu suddenly lowered his face, but after counting the days, it was about the day of her menstrual affairs, so she could only complain with her nose not her nose and her eyes not her eyes, and then she got up and left after a while.

Quan Niang straightened the sideburns that were messed up by him, and waited for a while before calling the little girl and asking, "He's gone?" ”

"Yes, don't worry, sister, I watched him go." The little girl was busy.

Quan Niang breathed a sigh of relief and threw a piece of broken silver for two taels to her.

The little girl happily picked it up, and Quan Niang finished dressing up and makeup, and staggered out of the drunken red mansion through the back door.

……

Quan Niang walked not far, turned into a dark alley, and saw a carriage parked there, she stepped on the snow, walked quickly over Shi Li, said:

"Sixth old man."

When the words fell, Xie Shoushan had already opened the curtain of the car, and said with a smile on his hands: "I still want to miss the appointment as Miss Li." ”

Suddenly being called out of her real surname, Quan Niang was a little shaken, and said with a smile: "Where can I be?" Sixth master, take a look, do you recognize this piece of jade? ”

As he spoke, he handed the jade ring of mutton fat white jade to Xie Shoushan.

Xie Shoushan only glanced at it, and then recognized that it was given to Xie Xiaoyu, and nodded: "In this way, this piece of jade is considered to be returned to Li today?" ”
