Chapter 15 Jiang Li went to the brothel
When Jiang Li woke up, it was already time, and the first thing she said was: "Has Aunt Liu been rescued?" ”
Jiang Xue was already crying darkly: "Miss, don't care about such a thing anymore......"
Only Rin Shuang was still calm, but her eyes were also red and swollen: "My lord, Aunt Liu has woken up, but she has lost too much blood, and the doctor said that she will take several months." ”
"Then you should go to the Bonus Courtyard with this seat." Jiang Li didn't ask for help, and staggered to his feet.
"Adults can't......" Jiang Xue burst into tears and kowtowed.
"Jiangxue, if you are talking, don't go with me." The two little palace maids came to serve her, put on shoes and socks, and did not dare to speak much.
Jiang Xue immediately stood up and put on Jiang Li's coat: "Miss......"
Rin Shuang glanced at her: "Jiangxue, time is pressing, there is no need to say more." ”
The group rushed to the Huahong Courtyard in the city.
More than a dozen palace maids were about to accompany him, and Jiang Li waved his hand: "Just follow Jiang Xue and Rinshuang, and two more guards are enough." ”
A total of five people descended the mountain in a low-key manner, and it was dark at night, but Jiang Li's sedan chariot and horse were still fast and steady.
Driving to the city gate, martial law had already been suspended, and it was dark to see the carved patterns of the carriage, and the guards guarding the city drew their swords and stopped Jiang Li and his party.
"Bold! Do you know who's in the car! Frost lifted the curtain and said in a deep voice.
"The gates of the city have long been closed, and unless you have a warrant from the king and queen, you will not be able to fly in like a fly." The guard was so discerning that he had not yet seen whose carriage the eight horses belonged to.
"Bold minion, don't you even know this seat?" Jiang Li motioned for Rin Shuang to step aside and sat by the window, her eyes staring straight out of the window, her amber eyes shining like a cat.
The chief guard came, and when he saw Jiang Li, he immediately knelt down: "Open the city gate and let go-"
As soon as the coachman whipped his horse, the group galloped away again, and soon reached the end of the road and disappeared. The car was extremely fast, Jiang Li was groggy, and he only felt like vomiting, and he was nauseous for a while. Just as I was about to say, I arrived at the Bonus Courtyard.
Although it is also night, the flower red courtyard is still very lively. Jiang Li took the veil handed by the person behind him to cover his cheeks and walked in.
The two prostitutes dressed in red and green who picked up customers at the door saw that the visitor was dressed well, and hurriedly invited them in.
"My young lady has something to ask your mother." Rin Shuang was wearing a blue satin pinched green bamboo Ruyi brocade silk skirt, and she actually wore two or three dots of emerald jewelry on her head. If you don't look closely, you just think it's burning blue, and only those who know how to know it know the trick. However, a maid is more prominent than the lady of the official family.
After a while, the mother in the bonus courtyard arrived. She has been in the red courtyard since she was a child, and she is used to seeing dignitaries and nobles, and she has seen a lot of flower patterns embroidered on her clothes. Seeing the young woman in front of her, who was only fourteen or fifteen years old, she was shocked, and hurriedly invited Jiang Li to go to a secret room on the top floor, and knelt down after retreating:
"See Lord Huangli." She looked at it and knelt down willingly and sincerely.
"Tonight's events are not allowed to be publicized." Jiang Li didn't say anything, just whispered.
She looked at the secret room of the Huahong Courtyard and couldn't help but sigh. Oh, Yang Duzhong's high-ranking officials and nobles are really generous, and they have given so many rare treasures to their concubines. There are also a lot of imperial pearls that can only be used by queens.
Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road. Jiang Li only knew that every year when Huangli Palace opened a soup kitchen on the outskirts of the city, there would be people who were too hungry, resulting in casualties from the stampede. Just this small secret room, the treasures in front of her have a price.
Jiang Li didn't believe that the prostitutes who came here had no wives or concubines. However, a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as stealing, which is true.
Sure enough, Cheng Lao always left her alone.
No wonder Mr. Cheng wants to warn her about loneliness.
In both countries of South Pear and North Tang, men are proud of their elegance. Ten years of Yangzhou dream, won the Qinglou Bo Xing name. Many people show off to their relatives and friends, saying that they are so-and-so's guests.
Thinking back to the noise downstairs just now, the warbler and the swallow, the appearance of a cluster of flowers, I wonder if their wives and concubines are at home, sitting by the window, looking forward to the return of their husband's father?
If you marry such a lucky person, it is better to be alone......
When she is old, she has no family, but I am afraid that after many years, Jiang Li herself will not have ......
The princess who grew up together in the palace is younger than her. The vast majority of the women in Nanli Country are married at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and Jiang Li is fifteen years old this year......
Wandering to the sky, her thoughts were interrupted by her mother, who was kneeling on the ground:
"The concubine encountered a famine when she was fifteen years old, but fortunately she was rescued by the imperial doctor of the Huangli Palace, and she survived. The old mother of the family almost starved to death, but thanks to your kindness, the soup porridge saved the concubine's mother. The grace of the adult, the concubine will not dare to forget. Please also ask the lord to give an order as soon as possible, and the concubine body must be repaid with death to thank the lord for his kindness. ”
Jiang Li didn't expect that her habitual actions for so many years would be rewarded here.
"Is Lingtang better?" Hearing such a confession, she was also a little moved, got up herself, and helped her mother up.
"My mother has always been grateful to the adults, and if the adults agree, my mother is willing to come here to kowtow to the adults, which can be regarded as her life's wish." The mother Yingying, who still had the charm in front of her, bowed. How can Jiang Li refuse such a request? He nodded, and the mother in front of him came out of the secret room and found a maid to pick up her old mother.
"I have something to ask you, so sit down." Jiang Lijing sat on the upper seat and casually pointed to the position next to him for her mother to sit down.
Her directness and unceremoniousness made Jiang Li feel very comfortable: "My lord, please speak." ”
"Do you still remember that more than ten years ago, there was a weak willow lady who gave birth to a baby boy before and was raised by the old Liu family and his wife in the boiler room? Where did the couple go? ”
The mother pondered for a moment: "I probably remember, but if you want to answer accurately, you have to check the records." ”
Jiang Li agreed, and the mother went to the bookshelf in the secret room, looking for it in rows. After a while, she took out a book from the bookshelf and quickly opened it: "My lord, I found it."
"Ni Weak Willow, also known as Weak Willow Lady, came to Huahong Courtyard fifteen years ago, first made a rough girl, and then because of her outstanding appearance, she was hung up to pick up customers, and she was a clear man.
Later, he had an affair with a guest, and gave birth to a baby boy, which is said to be ...... this year About thirteen or fourteen years old......"
She took out another booklet: "The Liu couple in the boiler room came to Huahong Courtyard twenty-five years ago, but left twelve years ago, saying that they were going back to their hometown to find another errand. Before leaving, I sold a little daughter into our Huahong Courtyard, with a name named Ni Caiping...... It turned out to be the Cai Ping girl who committed suicide a few days ago......"
Speaking of this, she was also shocked.
