++++++++++++++++++ the dividing line of the trip to Luoyang (VI) (above).

"Madam," Yingxue struggled to stand up, "The old man and his wife saved Yingxue in Gao County, and Yingxue has always been grateful to the old lady for saving her life. So I always want to do something to repay the old lady, Yingxue thinks that she has been doing things according to her wife's will all the way, if the wife is willing, Yingxue will also be a rough girl by his wife's side, I don't know why Yingxue is treated like this today. ”

Mrs. Zhou picked up the tea bowl, gently plucked the tea leaves, and did not speak, Grandma Sun beside her was very clever: "Since Aunt Xue also said, the old lady has a life-saving grace for Aunt Xue, and Aunt Xue should know that she will repay her kindness." But our wife is also a philanthropic person, looking at your aunt, you used to be a lady who knows books and etiquette, with fine skin and tender flesh and soft and weak, not to mention being rough at home, is to find someone to hire you out, I am afraid that my husband's family is not suitable and wronged you. No, Mrs. just thought that the lord had nothing to do so far, so she simply let the lord accept you, If you can add a man and a half woman to the lord is also a good thing, you are so delicate, there is the lord to take care of, and there is a care in front of you, and you don't have to worry about you being bullied outside. So the wife also persuaded the master for a long time, and the master accepted you. It stands to reason that when you enter the Zhou family, you should be grateful and respect Mrs., but if you look at the past few days, Mrs. understands you, and if you don't come to the morning and dusk provinces, you won't come. It's okay if you were a mountain villager, but you are from a family and have a good family education since childhood, how can you not even know this. I can only say Auntie, now that you feel that you have climbed a high branch, your heart is bigger, and you don't take your wife seriously. ”

"I didn't, it's just that the lord ordered me to wait in the front study in the past few days, Yingxue just didn't dare to leave at will, for fear that if the lord looked for me, I wouldn't be there, and there was no good waiter."

"This is really a joke, sir, didn't you live without your Aunt Xue before? Isn't the lord going to the yamen these days? When the province is set in the morning and dusk, most of the lords are in the yamen, and even ask the case in the hall, does it mean that Aunt Xue has to wait? Or does Aunt Xue feel that she has literary talent and can go to the yamen to wait? ”

Yingxue was a little anxious, but she didn't know how to respond.

Another Mama Li next to her also spoke: "Besides, when the master comes back from the yamen, how much business do you have to do, where do you need to wait?" Did you let the master lose all the business in his usual life? ”

"Madam," Grandma Sun raised her head highly, "The old slave knows that Mrs. is a philanthropic person, and refuses to think badly of people, but this Yingxue girl is not something you want to protect, she will not make mistakes." In the past few days, she has obviously bewitched the master. violated the family rules of the Zhou family and confused the master of the family, this is to ask for a lesson from the family law. After my wife got married, the old lady was afraid that my wife would be too kind, so she asked my wife and me to wait beside my wife and follow the adults out. Today, the old slave must follow the old lady's wishes and straighten out the family style. "This Mrs. Zhou is the daughter of the cousin of the old lady of the Zhou family, and she is also her niece. She had been friends with that cousin when she was in her mother's house, so she took special pity on his daughter. But her cousin's family is in a small family, and Mrs. Zhou is afraid that she will be bullied by other concubines and subordinates in the Zhou family when she enters the door, so as soon as she marries, Mrs. Zhou gives her the grandmother beside her.

There were a lot of people waiting in the room, not only Yingxue, but even the people waiting felt a chill down their spines, and this grandmother's hand was definitely not soft.

"I don't want to ask for family law," Mrs. Zhou said slowly: "How can I serve the lord if I break it, and the lord thinks that I can't accommodate the concubine." ”

"What does the lady mean?"

"Yingxue, I can't bear to hurt you, but the family can't be unpunished for those who make mistakes." Mrs. Zhou looked at Yingxue, and Yingxue looked at her expressionless face and cloudy eyes, and realized for the first time that this buried woman, who was kind to her before, was actually a terrible wolf. Seeing the fear in her eyes, Mrs. Zhou just had a vague smile at the corner of her mouth: "In this way, those afraid people don't need to be whipped." Mother Li, go get a pair of clogs, and wait for Aunt Xue to walk around my yard barefoot for fifty laps in addition to shoes and socks. ”

To Yingxue's ears, this punishment is very strange, but it doesn't sound terrible, just wearing clogs barefoot, I don't know if it will wear out the skin of the feet.

If she saw the smile on Grandma Sun's face at this time, Yingxue would definitely not think that this matter was simple, but only heard Grandma Sun say: "That's it, Aunt Xue will have to wait when the adults come back in the evening, and she can't be tired." Why don't you walk 10 laps today, then walk 5 laps a day, divided into 10 days. This punishment is also punished, and it does not delay her to wait for the master. ”

Yingxue looked at Grandma Sun suspiciously, could this old woman who helped her wife give her a horse today. But there is nothing wrong with her words.

The clogs were taken, painted with gold and black paint, and they looked very exquisite, but there were slight protrusions in a few positions on the soles of the feet, which was thought to be for walking pain and punishment. Yingxue was a little stunned for a while, and the mother-in-law next to her didn't wait for her to react when she spoke, so she put on clogs in addition to her shoes and socks.

"You go to the two of you, help Aunt Xue around the yard, and then send her back." Mrs. Zhou said nonchalantly, and then got up and left with Grandma Sun, as if the matter had been taken over.

Two stout women came up and carried her into the courtyard. Although the feet are a little cold without shoes and socks, they are quite acceptable. And those protruding positions are on the acupuncture points on the soles of her feet, which makes her blood flow smoothly and her feet automatically start to heat up. After walking around, I felt a little tired, but I didn't feel anything special. The two mothers-in-law who were supporting her next to her had a hint of sarcasm on their lips. It seems that this Aunt Xue doesn't understand either. This wife's cleverness is not comparable to these women. The old man's room, but if he has a room with the master, he will always be found by his wife to find a mistake and walk around a few laps in clogs to punish him. On the surface, it seems that the wife is kind, but it was polished from the old lady of the Zhou family with Grandma Sun, and she knows how powerful this set of things is. A few bumps on the clogs are facing the acupuncture points on the soles of the feet, and ordinary people can be used as a blood massage when they walk and press it, but a woman, no matter how precious and strong her belly is, after walking a few laps, it is difficult to protect the fetus in her belly. When I go back later, my wife will also reward you with a decoction for soaking your feet, and there are more good medicines for blood circulation and blood stasis. And because of the early time, these women may not even find out that they are pregnant, and the bleeding will be drained as if they are menstruating. There is no trace of it.

At this time, Ah Zhi didn't know that he had these dirty things going on in his backyard. After handling official business early in the morning, I took someone to pick up friends outside the city. Although they have just been separated, the joy of reuniting with each other is still very strong. For Ah Zhi, Xinjie is closer than his Zhou family's own brothers.

A group of people did not go to any property of the Tang family, and after greeting outside the city gate for a while, they first lived in Ah Zhi's Luoyang Mansion guest house. After a short rest, he didn't eat at home, Ah Zhi accompanied him to Yuehuaxuan in the city. From this day on, the people of Luoyang knew that their parents were not as they saw at the beginning, in addition to dealing with official affairs every day, they returned to the Houya to deal with official documents, read and write, whether it was a wealthy merchant or gentry, invited by all parties, except for letting the guests go to the Houya's study for a cup of tea, all other entertainment dinners would not go, and the sound and color places would not be involved. However, as soon as the third prince came, the prefect seemed to be a different person.

Tang Sangongzi originally had some friends in Luoyang, including the five sons of Luoyang who were the children of the Luoyang family in the past dynasties, and the seven talents of Luoyang who rose this year with poetry, calligraphy, calligraphy and painting. This time, I didn't go to Baicaotang to inspect and manage accounts in order to consolidate my position in the Tang family and compete for authority as rumored by outsiders. Instead, I made an appointment with these old friends to enjoy the snow and plums, listen to music and compose poems, play ice sledding on the frozen Luo River, and chisel ice to get fish and make wine on the stove. A group of people stirred up Luoyang City at the end of the year. There are a lot of unmarried daughters and idle women who have nothing to do, in order to see the beautiful men in Luoyang City who rarely get together on weekdays, they try their best to find all kinds of disguises and go away. The people in Luoyang City who originally said that their family affairs had not yet been decided, the men's family rushed to make up their minds, and the men who had active beautiful daughters-in-law who liked to go out to see the excitement consciously coaxed their daughters-in-law at home. There is really no comparison between people and people. And these banquets and gatherings, Tang Sanshao took the Bai family's cousin to go. Although she covered her with a veil in public, her graceful figure and warm voice like a spring breeze made both men and women present feel very pleasing to the eyes.

In these banquets, the people of Luoyang City found that their prefect was not a weak scholar who only knew how to read and official business, he would also go in and out of the luxurious Yuehuaxuan, a luxurious place like Yuehuaxuan, and he would also be full of pride with his friends in the suburbs, and he could also shoot arrows and fill in the words without falling, although he was not as young as Tang San, but he was not inferior to the five sons of Luoyang who were recognized by everyone in Luoyang City in the past. It's not like the fear of guilt that was rumored some time ago, because he brought his newly adopted aunt Yingxue with him on most occasions when he could bring his family.

From the time the prefect took office to the present, he has never opened the door to entertain guests. Some of the local gentry and celebrities in Luoyang have also sent posts to invite the prefect's wife to participate in various banquets. One is that the adult has just taken office, and the other is that the lady is more rigid, not every invitation goes, and she doesn't like to talk to people deeply, so she often sits down for a while and leaves early. Therefore, everyone is not familiar with the family of the prefect, and they feel that they have no idea what to do with the backyard of the prefect. Now it's good, they all inquired about it, and said that this Yingxue girl was gentle and tactful, and all parties responded appropriately, advancing and retreating freely, which made many people see the hope of getting closer to the prefect.

Other people who have more ways to find out more details also know that in addition to taking care of the prefect on these occasions, what this Yingxue girl has done the most is to associate with Miss Bai Jiabiao brought by Tang Sangongzi. Obviously, this young lady has a lot of face in front of Tang Sanshao, and the prefect admires Sanshao as a brother at first glance. If you can't get close to the prefect, let's find the third son, who has the business of Yuehuaxuan and Aoki Tea House in Luoyang. Although he was appointed by the head of the Tang family to inspect the business of Baicaotang this time, he did not go to Baicaotang, and every day was full of friends, not government affairs, maybe it was really difficult to succeed. But he is a child of the Tang family, and it is difficult for many people to see each other, and the prefect values him so much, he must be optimistic about the big tree of the Tang family.

As a result, invitations from the prefect and the back of the government came like snowflakes, and Huang Song, the left-behind director of Luoyang Baicaotang, never saw the third prince come to discuss affairs after receiving the old lady's letter, but lived a luxurious life in Yuehuaxuan every day. When his subordinates mentioned that they wanted him to go to Yuehuaxuan to see the third prince, he just looked disdainful and didn't speak. How can this kind of boy and brother become a weapon, waste time every day on these voices, wine and meat, and don't seek progress, the old lady asked him to sort out Luoyang's chores, isn't it a joke? The business of Baicaotang is inextricably linked, involving all aspects, and how can a small restaurant owner understand. And the so-called cousin, the white girl, the old lady didn't know what to think, let her be the big steward. The person he sent to Xianyang had already found out, he was a little smart, it was not uncommon for him to see a doctor, and he would check the accounts, but in the end he was just a woman, dependent on a man. And the person he sent to keep an eye on Yue Huaxuan came back and told him that although this woman wore a veil in public, she was also a delicate and arrogant character. When Sanshao's side was full of friends, she had to go in to change clothes and rest from time to time, and often asked people to invite Sanshao in to accompany her, leaving a group of guests and friends there. The backyard of Yuehuaxuan is relatively private, and outsiders are not allowed to enter, This private place, lonely men and widows, don't have to think about it to know what it is.

++++++++++++++++++ the dividing line of the trip to Luoyang (VI) (middle).

The location and design of Yuehuaxuan in Luoyang, Xianyang and Hangzhou, the capital are very chic, and the traffic at the door is busy in the middle of the city. But in the past few months, there are Aoki tea houses near Huaxuan. The main entrance of the Aoki Tea House is often not far from the downtown area, but when you actually get to the door, it is very quiet. It is often separated by a wall with Yuehuaxuan, and there is a flower path in the middle to connect, and familiar guests can come here to drink tea and rest after enjoying the Yuehuaxuan meal, and meet guests. Next door to these Aoki Tea Houses is the bookstore of a friend of Xinjie. The bookstore adjacent to Luoyang City and Aoki Tea House is owned by Jing Muxian, a talented man in Luoyang, and is famous for its collection of ancient book fragments and rubbing ancient book inscriptions. Coupled with Jing Muxian's superb skills in the identification of antiquities, this bookstore named Mushi has the elegant name of the first bookstore in Zhongzhou.

Because of the brotherhood of the two owners, Mushi Bookstore and Aoki Tea House are almost connected, sharing a bamboo forest on both sides, with only a daughter wall in the middle, and a perennial moon cave door in the middle. Wang Shishi stood at the Moon Cave Gate, and looked at the tea house next door, The tea house didn't have many guests in the morning Except for a few guys who cleaned the tables and chairs under the trees and arranged the flowers and trees, there was no one else in the courtyard.

Since the old master had told him a few days ago to start paying attention to the movements of the bookstore, he had taken the opportunity to visit his widowed sister by going to the comprador in the city. His sister-in-law, Wang Chunhua, is now in charge of the kitchen in the bookstore. Although I don't know all about the people who come and go to the bookstore every day, the guys in the bookstore go to the kitchen to eat, get acquainted with them, and know a lot of things in the chat.

Wang Shishi now admires the old master very much, and often came to Mushi Bookstore to buy books and give them away two years ago. I often buy some ancient books at a high price, and I naturally get acquainted with the owner of the bookstore. Later, when I heard that the cook who was in charge of the kitchen was gone, I sent his widowed sister to take care of it. Originally, Wang Shishi couldn't figure out why the old master had such a big family business, why he wanted to tie up with a scholar who bought books in the city, and after the sister came, he understood that Mu Gongzi, who dared to love him, was deeply hidden, In addition to the printing society that printed books and rubbing, there were also jade workshops and goldsmith workshops, all of which were hidden in several courtyards connected by secluded alleys behind this bookstore, accounting for most of the alleys. There is also a kitchen there, but they are all purchased from the comprador of the bookstore, and sent to the bookstore and then sent from the bookstore. Although those jade and goldsmith workshops looked less than three percent of the bookstore, the girl listened to those stewards and sent the goods directly to the gold shops and jade shops in Luoyang City and the surrounding big towns. Although the guys don't know whether the gold shops and jade shops have their own shares, the shipments have been stable in the past few years.

The jade and gold shops in various places are not something that ordinary people can do, and the large amount of money required to hoard goods makes ordinary people daunting. And the valuation and sale of jade, etc., if there is no one to support it, there will be controversy if the guests are slightly dissatisfied, and most of the people who can afford these things are either rich or expensive in the city, and they all have a background. And if the bookstore owner is close to these people, he must have an unusual background.

Wang Chunhua was counting the vegetables that had just been delivered from Zhuangzi in the kitchen, and she saw her brother shaking at the gate of the yard. She hurriedly ticked off the book, and then instructed the other cooks to divide the things into three points as usual, and send them to the two kitchen sets except for her own kitchen.

Then he neatly collected the account books and walked towards the small courtyard where he lived. The cooks here all have families, and they all go home after work in the evening. Only Wang Chunhua was widowed, so Jing Ye asked her to set aside the small courtyard next to the kitchen to live alone, and no one in this area could be regarded as helping to keep vigil at night. Occasionally, the guys at the bookstore would ask for soup or something at night, and someone else would know.

When Wang Chunhua entered the house, she saw Wang Shishi sitting on the kang, and she impatiently threw the account book on the kang table.

"Yo, why are you so grumpy? Is it that the shopkeeper Sun hasn't come to your house in the past few days, and I think the man can't stand it? As long as you finish the old master's business, I will ask the master to reward you to go to Qingshan Courtyard to hang up. ”

"Phew!" Wang Chunhua walked to the courtyard gate to see if there was anyone, closed the door and walked in again: "Do you have a brother like this?" At the beginning, you wanted to climb up and push your sister to Luo Kai, you are good, you don't have to dig the ground on the Zhuangzi to beg for a living, but you are holding Luo Kai to take on some fatal task. As a result, the task was not done, and the people were gone. It's so easy for me to have a quiet life, and you have to let me go to Sun Er. ”

"What's wrong with Sun Er, Ren Swen, and the shopkeeper of this bookstore. Although Jing Ye is the owner, Jing Ye doesn't care about miscellaneous matters, and Sun Er is not meddling in the money in and out of this bookstore. Don't think I don't know, he's not missing your stuff here. With that, he took out a gold bracelet from the drawer under the kang table and weighed it in his hand.

"You just know to look at this," Wang Chunhua walked over and snatched the bracelet, "why don't you want to think about how much I have suffered." ”

"Bah, you suffered, you took down the five big and three rough ones of Luo Kai at the beginning. Don't think that you don't know as an elder brother, you said that I tricked you into letting you follow Luo Kai, why don't you want to follow him? Although I was the brother who matched it that night, but who couldn't walk when I met someone later? Didn't you tell people that when you saw him, he would run water? ”

Wang Chunhua was very surprised, she only said this to Wuya'er, who grew up together in Zhuangzi.

"Don't stare at me with such big eyes, I'm your brother, not the man you want to seduce." Wang Shishi poured tea and took a sip of tea to himself: "It was Wuya'er who told me, by the way, Wuya'er will be your sister-in-law in the future." ”

Wang Chunhua was even more surprised: "What about my sister-in-law Fen'er?" ”

"You don't have Fen'er's sister-in-law anymore, she is already the seventeenth aunt of the old master. Your brother and I are no longer the king of the past, your brother is now the head of the carriage and the study room with the master. ”

"How could the old master find his sister-in-law?" Wang Chunhua knows too well who her old master, Guo Er, is. When she followed Luo Kai, she was seen by him when she went to the outer courtyard to find Luo Kai on duty, and forced Luo Kai to send herself to his room that night. Although he is too old to do anything, it does not prevent him from torturing people. After she came back bruised, Luo Kai vowed to save some money to take her away, but Luo Kai died soon after. Since then, the old master has asked her to wait in the courtyard several times. Later, with the life of the bookstore, she was able to live in peace. At the beginning, her sister-in-law Fen'er also knew about the old master's summoning of her. My brother and sister-in-law live in the alley behind Guo's house, how can my sister-in-law provoke the old master if she is fine?

"Wuya'er is really smart, and she can also look at people, she told me that your sister-in-law Fen'er will definitely be able to enter the eyes of the old master. No, I just met Fen'er a few days ago, and yesterday I sent someone to my house to give a reward, telling me that I had left Fen'er as my aunt's wife. I was also promoted to my brother's position. Today, I will let Wu Ya'er move to our house, and Wu Ya'er is in charge of her Zhuangzi and gives her Zhuangzi father two taels of silver as a dowry. She asked me to bring you a message, This person went to a high place, and now if you do a good job of what the old master explained, maybe there will be greater edification in the future. Now that you have also won the shopkeeper Sun, let the shopkeeper Sun help you, if you can climb to Jingye, it will also be a good future. Jing Ye is young and handsome, talented, well-connected and very rich. My sister looks so coquettish, Jing Ye may be tempted, don't hang on the shopkeeper Sun. ”

"This is all taught to you by Wuya'er? Do you listen to her? ”

"Of course, look at the two of you who were in Zhuangzi at the beginning, you have my brother to take care of, what else can Wuya'er do besides work. If it weren't for Wuya's idea to let my brother think about it thoroughly, how would I find Luo Kai for you? We won't follow all the way from Zhuangzi to Luoyang City. ”

"I really didn't know that girl had so many mental tricks."

"It's your sister-in-law, we will all be a family in the future, with five girls to make suggestions, our family's life will only be better."

"To make a plan is to sell my sister-in-law Fen'er?"

"Fen'er is just too stupid to use her brain, but now she is not at a loss, the aunt and grandmother of the Guo family, how good it is to wear gold and silver, it is our master and grandmother."

"I've sold my sister-in-law, and now I'm thinking about letting you sell your sister-in-law again?"

"Don't say it so ugly, where is it that I sold you, just think about you and make suggestions."

"Thank you. Don't tell me what I think for me from now on, I'm afraid that she will sell me and I don't know what's going on. I'm busy here, too, so if you're done, you can go. ”

"I haven't gotten down to business yet. Today was the old master who asked me to come, and he said that the day before yesterday you confirmed that you saw the man in the portrait meeting Jing Ye in the bookstore, and he may still appear in the next few days, so that you can always pay attention to when he came to the bookstore and who he met. In addition, he said that Jing Ye may go to the tea society next door these days, so that you can find an opportunity to follow along, If you see the man in the portrait, you should also pay special attention to what he said and what he did, and repeat it to the old master word for word. In addition, the old master will let you recognize the woman next to him, and if you have the opportunity to see her alone, put this worm on her. With that, he handed her a small bamboo tube.

"The master said, you are a smart and clever person, if these things are done well, there are more capable men around him, he will match you with a good man like Luo Kai, and you will live a safe and stable life in the future. Sister, if we can climb up to something like Luo Kai or the captain of the guard, we will be more stable by the old master's side. If you can climb up to Jing Ye, we're not bad. So Wuya'er is right, you have to bet on both sides, and it's not in vain that our parents gave birth to you to be so provocative. ”

++++++++++++++++++ the demarcation line of the trip to Luoyang (VI) (below).

Luoyang City Light Shirt Courtyard, the second old lady of the Guo family is in the painting willow pavilion of the top brand painting willow girl here, and his guards guard this place tightly, and from time to time there is a hoarse shout of the painting willow girl in the courtyard. Second Mrs. Guo likes women, especially women, which is famous in Luoyang. If this light shirt courtyard is not the second grandfather's own property, it is estimated that other places are not willing to let the top brand be tossed by the second grandfather. Every time she comes, the willow girl has to close the door for two or three days, and it is said that the most powerful one has no skin, and she does not see guests for half a month. In the ears of many of the guards, the cries of various women had long since numbed them and did not care. In fact, today's painting willow girl is really different, it sounds miserable, but compared with the previous times, it seems too rhythmic. A guard stood in the shadows, listened for a while, and gently released a small bird in his sleeve, and the small gray-black figure quickly disappeared into the night.

A quarter of an hour later, a group of men came to the gate of the Light Shirt Courtyard, saying that they had come to look for their brother. It turned out to be a group of merchants from Nanhe, and one of them said that he had a relationship with the girl who painted Liu when he passed by Luoyang last time, and agreed to make money this time to redeem her. How do you know that when she came, Miss Painted Liu was busy waiting for the second old lady of the Guo family, and she was not available. This one is also the shaft, so he just sat there and didn't leave. All the guests tonight, the turtle slave and the front and back running halls, the guests who went shopping in the flower street in the courtyard next door to this alley all knew that there was an infatuated girl waiting for her, but she was ravaged by the second old lady of the Guo family. Xu is someone who came to hold grievances for his brother, or couldn't persuade him to leave, anyway, in the end, someone made a move, a group of Nanhe men rushed into the light shirt courtyard, and came to the door of the painting willow pavilion, the Guo family's nursing home is not vegetarian, There was a chaos, After all, the men of Nanhe are walking outside all the year round, and they have rich experience in actual combat, and they have the upper hand in less than half a cup of tea, and someone rushed into the painting willow pavilion. In the chaos, this flower street in Luoyang ushered in officers and soldiers for the first time in many years. In these years, the singing and dancing in Luoyang City has been leveled, everyone is drunk in the flower street, drunk and golden, only to see the various nursing homes walking sideways, all kinds of people in the rivers and lakes, etc., whether it is a merchant or a guest, I have never seen such a neat and fast officer and soldier.

Is it true that someone reported the case quickly today, and the officers and soldiers came quickly? It's still going to change the sky in Luoyang City. Sensitive people seem to have captured something, such as the guests sitting on the upper floor of the Yunsha Courtyard opposite the Light Shirt Courtyard and looking at the street view at the moment. Although this guest is already middle-aged, in the words of the bustard's mother, this young man must have been handsome and handsome, even if he is a little older at the moment, the steady and mature masculinity is something that those fart babies who have not grown up can catch up with at all. Every time a guest comes, he just orders a cup of tea, listens to the top brand Huanyun girl in the Yunsha Courtyard plays the piano, and he has nothing to do to see the excitement of people coming and going on the street, never picky or talking. It seems that it is just to listen to a tune, drink a cup of tea, and relax while watching the brightly lit flower street. The bustard's mother is very fortunate at the moment, although she does not have the support of the Guo family here, and there is not such a big scene, but there are few disasters like the Qingyi Courtyard on the opposite side at the moment, and most of the people who come are elegant guests who admire the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting skills of the Huanyun sisters.

The light shirt courtyard has turned the sky upside down at this moment, and the second old lady of the Guo family didn't know what he was doing when the men in Nanhe rushed in, but the people outside heard all kinds of screams. After the officers and soldiers came, they brought Yiying and others back to the Luoyang Mansion, including the second old lady of the Guo family.

The guests of Yunsha Courtyard watched a slip of people being taken away by officers and soldiers, and the corners of their left mouths were slightly hooked, and they quickly returned to their original state. The cynicism of the moment when he hooked his lips just now seemed to have never appeared on his face. Miss Huanyun had already finished playing the piano and went down to rest, and there were only him and his guards here. He calmly said to the personal guard who was standing half a foot away from him: "I really can't underestimate this third young man of the Tang family, even if it is this clue, he can guess and chase after him." ”

"It's not that the master deliberately left a line for him. If the master doesn't leave a line, how can he set his sights on the Guo family? Anyway, the old lady of the Guo family only went to his house a month ago to report to Mrs. Tang that she had brought the Zhuangzi over there in Maipo, how could ordinary people suspect that their second lady would be with Huang Song. ”

"Don't underestimate him, although we have left clues, but after all, it is very faint, and people who are not careful thinking will not think of it. I didn't expect him to be so wary of Huang Song, anyway, he was also their own person in the Tang family's Baicaotang. This third young master is not simple, he has been in Luoyang for a few days, and a person from Baicaotang does not need it, and he borrows the hand of the Luoyang government to do things. ”

"This Luoyang prefect was originally his hair."

"Not every Fa Xiao is worthy of trust, and not every Fa Xiao will gamble on his career for the sake of his brother's righteousness. What's more, Zhou Haizhi is a shrewd and upright person. If it weren't for the opposite, I would really like to reuse this Zhou Governor. You see how long you have been in Luoyang Mansion, and you have trained these soldiers so strictly. We have seen Luoyang Mansion in the past, don't say that it is so fast and neat, and it is impenetrable in advance, that is, before going out to the mansion for the New Year, the festival is lazy and messy. ”

"This Zhou Governor is really capable. He is a talent. It's a pity that they followed Donald San. Luoyang is our important place, if he follows Tang Laosan tonight, I don't know if it will be okay. ”

"Sometimes I think, following the Tang family may not really be the enemy, and it may not necessarily be eliminated? Because the Tang family is a special existence of the imperial court, they are loyal to the imperial court and care about the country. It's just that whoever sits in that big seat they help. If the Tang family did not have the relationship of the Chen family, they would be neutral in the court. Even if she is standing opposite us today, it is because the Queen Mother is on the side of the prince. Tang Xinjie will spare no effort to defend Yiyi. Otherwise, I really don't want to do anything to such a person. ”

"But they're on that side after all. The subordinates understand that the master cherishes his talents for the sake of the world. It's just that you can't be soft when it's time to make a move. If Tang San'er is allowed to continue in Luoyang this time, our many years of business in Luoyang will be ruined by him. ”

The scribe nodded slightly, "Then he will be able to escape tonight." ”

"I'm afraid it's not easy, we gave so many serial sets, he will inevitably fall into another one when he comes out of this, and he will all come out, I'm afraid that he will be a little tender."

"Never underestimate your opponent. Tang Xinjie began to walk the rivers and lakes at the age of nine, and his rapid rise in the past ten years is by no means by luck. ”

"The subordinates understand... He was about to say something, when he suddenly heard a signal from his colleagues outside, and hurriedly went out to take a look, and hurried in to report: "Huang Song is here." ”

The scribe frowned lightly and didn't say anything, but his subordinates already understood that the master was extremely unhappy at the moment, but... ...

Huang Song lowered his head, and cold sweat continued to break out on his head. When I came in all the way and saw the master, I knew that the air here was three points colder. Tonight, the master arranged a comprehensive operation in Luoyang City to take down Tang Sanshao and Luoyang Mansion in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect that the person he sent to contact the second master of the Guo family would make a mistake. I really didn't imagine that a group of rough people would go to the brothel to make trouble, and they would bring the second master of the Guo family and his people into it.

"You know that coming here to me at this time means that you are not too stupid." The scribe looked at his fingernails and said faintly, "Just to report that something has happened is not what a person of your position should do. When you were in Luoyang's Dadutou and Huangdadutou, did you have no suggestions and measures for me? ”

"My subordinates have already arranged people in the Luoyang Mansion prison, and they have just been informed that Zhao Gang will be sealed no matter what tonight. He knew too much after all. For fear of accidents, I asked Zhao Gang to close the entrances to several secret passages. ”

"Do you think those people who block Tang Xinjie with stones won't be able to dig out those secret passages?"

"That? ... ... The subordinates understood, and the subordinates quickly arranged for people to transfer all the things and people in the secret passage to Qinzhuang. ”

The scribe closed his eyes and sighed softly: "Instead of letting them further expose Qin Zhuang, it's better to give them those things." ”

Huang Song was taken aback and looked up at his master.

"Why, don't you understand? It's too late for you to move now, since Tang Xinjie can catch Ma Guli and your people here tonight, it means that he has already noticed this place and the Guo family. ”

"But Maguli's entry into the city is very hidden, even the people of the Guo family only found out this evening that we would take Maguli to meet him to talk about Ganliangdao, how could they know in advance? Moreover, the people sent by the prince have been monitoring us since they left Beijing, and there is no movement in the jade workshop. ”

"Then it can only be said that there is either another passage over there in the Jade Workshop, or there is another capable person in Tang San'er's hand who is monitoring you, you don't know." The guard said to Huang Song impatiently.

"No way, our people from the Jade Workshop went in and searched, and they didn't find any other exit, and they've been in the courtyard since they got back this afternoon, and they just sent them for supper. I know better than anyone else the Tang family's manpower in Luoyang, whether it is Baicaotang or Ping'an Inn, he has never mobilized Jingwei. Huang Song was not convinced.

"As soon as he came to Luoyang, he didn't use anyone from Baicaotang, why are you still so confident." The guard said impatiently.

"If he doesn't use the local power of Luoyang and transfers people from Xianyang, my people in Xianyang will definitely find out. Could it be those girls in Baihuatang? But Luoyang Baihuatang has no masters. It's okay to see a doctor and keep a yard, but it's really useless to do anything else. Moreover, he is a wild seed raised by a woman outside, even if the old lady is spoiled, the old people of the Tang family may not listen to him, and he can't move it. So it's most likely that the prince gave it to him, maybe the prince's people aren't all in the jade workshop, and we don't know it. ”

"To this day, you still haven't recognized your opponent, and you still think it's the power of the prince. Do you think he is as simple and arrogant as Tang Xintian? A person who stirred up the Dahe Gang at the age of eleven can rely on the Tang family alone? "He's impatient with some of his subordinates' preconceived notions." And it's not about how he found out about Maguli's appearance, it's about you who should tell me how to deal with this scene. ”

Huang Song and the guards both bowed their heads. Tang Xinjie's step really caught them a little off guard.

"But my subordinates don't think this matter is so serious, after all, we will also do it tonight at the tea house, as long as Tang San'er is destroyed, they will be in chaos for a while, where can anyone do things well, we still have time to transfer everything in the secret passage." The guard stood up straight again at the scribe.

"Did you get the message from the tea house?" The scribe asked disapprerovingly.

"Not yet, but no news is good news, it means that everything is normal, and we still have a quarter of an hour left to get started."

Huang Song also nodded in agreement.

"I'm afraid that there will be no news at the moment, and there will be news that we can't eat it in a while." The scribe closed his eyes impatiently again.

"Probably not, just now I didn't say that the master has circled so many sets, not to mention whether he can untie them one by one. Even if he escapes the worst, don't we still have Jing Muxian's mother in our hands? ”

"Hmph, when is it time for us to fall into the filial piety of a bet boy." He frowned deeply. In order to compete with the Queen Mother, he had to introduce the strength of foreign domains, and today there is the appearance of Maguli, who wants to build a financial road from the capital to the Western Regions through Ganliang through the people of the Guo family and Maguli. Today, in order to control the situation, he wants to move Luoyang Juncai, the mother of a famous filial son. If one day he becomes a great treasure, I don't know how the people of the world will think of him if they know the truth.

The guards have been by his side for more than twenty years, and they know the temperament of their master. I want to achieve great things, and I want to be famous. At this moment, I am afraid that I am entangled again: "Master, don't worry, we let the people of Yingyue Tower take action, even if there is anything, they will not be suspicious of us." What's more, he controls the jade market, and there are a lot of people who hate him. ”

"The master suspects that Jing Muxian's people have manipulated the jade market in Luoyang?"

"Not a doubt, it's a certainty." The guards were very disdainful of Huang Song's sluggishness: "And it's not Jing Muxian who is really controlling, it's Tang San'er." This Jing Muxian is just a glove for him in Luoyang. And this afternoon, he has already released the wind outside according to your instructions, saying that Jing Muxian is just a hand of the Tang family to control and operate the jade market. This Luoyang is the jade distribution center of Zhongzhou, and the families with backgrounds in the city have long been dissatisfied with the fact that the jade market here and in the capital is occupied by Jing Muxian, and no matter what happens, it can be pushed to business. Moreover, the prefect is encircled in it, and the collusion between officials and businessmen makes people feel even more credible. ”

Huang Song just knew that the master had a move tonight, and asked him to mobilize people to cooperate, but he didn't expect that they even calculated the prefect: "Listen to my brother, this means that I can't even escape from the prefect tonight, so I don't have to worry about Maguli's affairs, junior brother." Anyway, they were all stewed, and their subordinates simply let the brothers in the prefect's prison destroy them. Isn't it clean to die without proof? In this way, our secret passage is also preserved. ”

The guard also thought that this idea was okay, and looked at his master with him.

"Do you think Tang Xinjie already knows about Maguli in advance tonight, how many can he see through the full set set for him tonight?"
