Chapter 81: Banditry
Sitting in the carriage, Zhiwan lifted the curtain and looked at the street, suddenly the carriage swayed, Zhiwan staggered forward, and the coachman hurriedly said that he couldn't help it, and then said, "I'm afraid something happened in front of me and blocked the road." ”
Bai Shao lifted the curtain of the car door, saw a carriage parked in front of him, and said to Zhiwan, "Why don't you take a detour?" ”
The coachman went down to take a look, and came back, "There are several carriages blocked behind. ”
Zhiwan had no choice but to wait in the carriage, but after waiting for a long time, he couldn't wait, so he got off the carriage and walked forward more than a dozen steps, and saw a lot of people around.
Zhiwan asked the woman on the side, "What's going on here?" ”
The woman looked at Zhiwan and said with a smile, "The girl is from out of town, there was a big incident in Kyoto a few days ago, the king of Yuejun and the prince of Xiangwang fought because of a peony flower, and the Chunfeng Building was demolished, and the old bustard was sad to jump off the building." ”
The woman said, and another woman in Tsing Yi on the side laughed and said, "Come on, from the Chunfeng Tower was smashed, she cried upstairs, saying that she was going to jump off the building, it's been a few days, and I haven't seen her jump down, I heard that she is rebelling against the king of Yuejun." ”
The previous woman shook her head and said, "Even if you borrow three or five of her guts, she doesn't have the courage to resist the king of Yuejun, but I heard that the peony is the head of a hundred flowers, and the queen also loves it, but now it is worn on the head of the woman in the Qinglou, blaspheming the queen, and it is not certain whether the Chunfeng Building will be seized." ”
The thin man on the side said with a smile, "The old bustard jumped off the building is fake, and it is true that he wants to sell Chunfeng Building, but this building is because King Yuejun was smashed, everyone suspects that he has taken a fancy to the location of Chunfeng Tower, and wants to take it for himself, so he uses the Oiran to wear a peony to find fault, the boss behind Chunfeng Building can't afford to provoke King Yuejun, but if he swallows this breath, even I will not be willing." I just want to make a fuss and see if anyone has the courage to go against the king of Yuejun and buy Chunfeng Building. ”
Zhiwan looked at the lot of Chunfeng Building, which was in the middle of the street. Surrounded by restaurants, silk shops, not the kind of green building street, Zhiwan heart moved, but if this place can be bought, let alone 20,000 taels, right?
Zhiwan was estimating, and a voice suddenly came from there, "I'm not afraid of death, I'll give two taels!" ”
"......." ”
Upstairs, the bustard heard two or two. didn't almost get angry, but before she could start scolding, someone persuaded, "Wang Er Mazi, two taels of silver is enough for you to go to the Qinglou to play for a night." If you really buy it, maybe today next year will be your death day, are you really not afraid of death? ”
Wang Ermazi's neck shrunk and he changed his words, "Two taels are expensive, I want two copper plates!" ”
The old bustard's mouth was trembling, two copper plates. What can you buy two copper plates in the Chunfeng Building, wouldn't it be given to him for nothing?!
Downstairs, someone teased, "Chun Sanniang, Chunfeng Building has also been open in Kyoto for three years, do you see which one offended the king of Yue Jun had a good end." The best end is our first village girl in Dayue, stun him, and got the emperor's reward, but I heard that she disappeared recently, and I see that ten * also died in the hands of the king of Yuejun. If someone wants it, you can get rid of it. ”
Soon, a group of officers and soldiers came, ordering the lively crowd to disperse, and Zhiwan also went back to the carriage to sit down, his mind was spinning, Chen'er was grounded, she couldn't leave Kyoto, she shouldn't leave, to gain a foothold in Kyoto, power is indispensable, since Chunfeng Lou is in a hurry to get rid of it, why don't you buy it? As for King Yuejun, Zhiwan didn't think he would snatch it from her.
But after buying Chunfeng Building, who will negotiate this business, and when I entered the Hou Mansion, it must not be easy to come out, and I was worried about it.
The carriage moved forward, through the open window, Zhiwan saw Rong Jingxuan, and suddenly remembered that Rong Fu still owed her 10,000 taels of silver for the consultation, and 10,000 taels of silver should be enough to buy the dilapidated Chunfeng Building.
Zhiwan asked the coachman to pull the carriage aside, took out pen and ink, and wrote a simple letter.
Drunken Wind Building, Rong Jingxuan pushed the door in.
Inside the house, Yuan Hao and Chu Pei were drinking each other, and when they saw him come in, they asked with a smile, "The consultation money was sent out?" ”
Rong Jingxuan shook his head, "It's like the world has evaporated." ”
Chu Pei poured him wine and said with a smile, "Don't worry, isn't the king of Yuejun also looking for her, for the sake of a village girl, even the lord of Mingzhu County will not marry, but why didn't I see him looking for a portrait this time?" I'm curious about that village girl. ”
Yuan Hao lightly picked the handsome, "Why Brother Chu is also curious about that village girl, some time ago, Mrs. Chu asked you to marry her, but you didn't return home for a few days, and now I regret not knowing if it's too late." ”
Chu Pei's cheeks were slightly red, and he glared at Yuan Hao, "I'm just curious!" ”
Rong Jingxuan sat down before someone knocked on the door, and Xiao Er came in and saluted, "There is a child outside the door who sent a letter, saying that a girl asked him to send it." ”
Chu Pei and Yuan Hao looked at Rong Jingxuan with a strange and teasing look, and quipped, "I don't know whose girl is in love with you, Young Master Rong, your cold is cured, and the peach blossoms are blooming!" ”
Rong Jingxuan's face slowly turned red, waved his hand to let Xiao Er go, and didn't read the letter, so as not to be laughed at by the group's friends, who knew that Xiao Er took the letter and said entangledly, "The child who sent the letter also said that he owed money to pay it back." ”
Chu Pei and Yuan Hao were stunned for a moment, then leaned back with a smile, thinking it was a love letter, but they didn't expect it to be a debt collector, "Brother Rong, if you don't pay back the money you owe, it's your fault!" ”
Rong Jingxuan's face was red and purple, why didn't he remember that he owed someone money and didn't pay it back, he was still a girl, Rong Jingxuan took the letter, Yuan Hao and Chu Pei came over to take a look, only to see that the letter said: Trouble Young Master Chu to help me buy Chunfeng Building with 10,000 taels of silver.
Chu Pei and Yuan Hao both knew that Rong Jingxuan owed the first village girl 10,000 taels of silver, and this note must be hers, but she couldn't find it when Brother Rong looked for her, but her note was sent to the door first, and the words were written beautifully and powerfully, is this still a village girl?
Yuan Hao said with a smile, "The first village girl is really unique, she wants to buy Chunfeng Building, doesn't she want to open a green building?" ”
Chu Pei sat down and said with a smile, "This is difficult, King Yuejun seems to be looking for her, but she wants to buy Chunfeng Building, isn't this snatching food from the tiger's mouth?" ”
"But the first village girl wants to buy Chunfeng Lou, five thousand taels of silver is enough," Yuan Hao said.
Chu Pei poured wine and said, "The three of us go, it is estimated that we can buy it for three thousand taels." ”
When the three of them were drinking and laughing in the drunken wind building, Zhiwan had already returned to the Dingyuan Marquis's mansion, and the little man guarding the door saw her below, his eyes were round, and Zhiwan frowned slightly. The expression doesn't seem to wish her back?
Poria stuffed five coins of silver over, and the little maid said, "The queen will go to the Reclining Buddha Temple tomorrow to pray for blessings, and a few girls in the house plan to find the fourth girl tomorrow to ......." ”
Yao's mother stroked her forehead when she heard this. A few girls in the house wanted to take the opportunity to find the fourth girl to see the queen, and the girl must be angry when she came back at this time.
But no, when Zhiwan went to the Rosin Courtyard to ask for peace, Qin Zhishu and Qin Zhiyu saw that Zhiwan's eyes were full of ice cubes, especially the embroidered handkerchief in Qin Zhiwan's hand was almost torn, and they glared at Zhiwan and said, "When you come back today, don't you know that you will be notified in advance?!" Aren't you going to copy thousands of Buddhist scriptures for the old lady to pray for her birthday, what are you going to do when you run back now! ”
Zhiwan was speechless. Even if I copy the Buddhist scriptures and pray for blessings, change places, a lot of articles are still okay, Zhi Wan pretended to be stupid and said, "The queen will go to the Reclining Buddha Temple tomorrow to pray for blessings." If we want to settle in Shizuka Courtyard, we are afraid of colliding with the queen, so let's come back for two days before going, don't you know such a big thing? ”
Zhiwan is not too backward in the news, and he doesn't even know the news that the queen went to the Reclining Buddha Temple to pray for blessings and other miscellaneous people to avoid, Qin Zhiyu and Qin Zhishu's faces turned white. How could they not know such a big news, it is precisely because they know that in the past two days, they stayed up late and copied a hundred Buddhist scriptures out, planning to send them tomorrow, but they didn't expect her to run back. What excuse do they have to go?!
They had never seen such an annoying person as her, and they didn't say hello and went out of the house, and the whole house was worried, and they ran back without saying a word, causing them to work hard for three days and three nights in vain. Qin Zhiyu thought that her sleepy eyelids were fighting, and she was still yawning and copying Buddhist scriptures, so she was angry, and she couldn't wait to use her eyes to know the night.
Zhiwan is not worried in her heart, she took the initiative to go to the Reclining Buddha Temple to copy Buddhist scriptures and pray for blessings, not to be punished, and to come back, is there the freedom to come back, does she have to stay there in order for them to have a chance to befriend the queen? Why didn't they send someone to inform her, and now that she is back, they blame her, and know that it will be in vain? Zhiwan took a step forward and said, "Zhiwan doesn't know if you can come back, so go back to the Reclining Buddha Temple and continue to copy Buddhist scriptures." ”
Zhiwan turned around and left, didn't take a step, and then turned back and reminded Qin Zhishu, "Fifth sister Ming'er is looking for me to go to the small courtyard behind Shizuka Temple, if you can't find me, I should live in the inn." ”
Qin Zhishu's face was hot, and he said angrily, "What did the fourth sister say, Queen Ming'er went to the Reclining Buddha Temple to make incense, what are we going to do, I don't have to disturb the queen, it makes her unhappy." ”
Qian saw that Zhiwan's eyes were very gloomy, and he picked up the teacup and sipped it lightly, and the old lady scolded, "What kind of system does the daughter of the dignified Hou Mansion run to the guest house!" ”
Zhiwan turned around aggrievedly and said, "Shizukayuan is vacant for the queen to rest, and all the people living in it have moved to the backyard, I may not have a place to live at this time, and if I don't live in an inn, I can only live on the streets......." ”
Then there will really be a system, Zhiwan thought to herself, the old lady's face was slightly pale, Aunt Lan glanced at the old lady, and turned the topic away with a very good look, "The fourth girl is back, what about the two children?" ”
Zhiwan glanced at Qian carefully before replying, "Although the two children were saved by me, I was afraid that I would bring them back to gossip with outsiders, so I found them a nurse, and the nurse took them to live, and when I found the father of the two children, I sent them away." ”
Aunt Lan smiled and said that Zhiwan was thoughtful, Qin Zhixue stepped forward and took Zhiwan's arm, blinked a pair of watery eyes and asked, "Didn't you say that it was the little young master in the Daiguo Mansion a few days ago?" Why not, I heard that those two children have something to do with King Yuejun. ”
When the Daiguo Mansion sent someone to come that day, she was in the Rosin Courtyard, but she didn't expect that the King of Yuejun would threaten the Lord of Yunzhu, saying that if she forcibly recognized these two children, he would send more than a dozen children, how could he conclude that this child was not from the Daiguo Mansion, they all suspected that the King of Yuejun knew the father of the two children, especially the attitude towards Zhiwan was very suspicious, to say that the King of Yuejun had thoughts about Zhiwan, but he would not rather have a gold medal for ten faces in order to withdraw from his family, right?
Zhiwan has a headache, how to answer this question, these two children have a relationship with the king of Yuejun, at best, Chen'er is very faceless and sprinkled two bubbles of urine on him, Zhiwan will never say anything about the purple rope, his eyes blinked, Zhiwan decided to discredit a certain county king, Zhiwan's eyes glanced around the room, and whispered, "I heard that the boy's urine can cure diseases." ”
Qin Zhixue's voice was full of disbelief, although Zhiwan only said a few words, but everyone understood, Chen'er peeed on the body of King Yuejun, undoubtedly Tai Sui's head broke ground, he didn't pursue the original unbelievable, I didn't expect him to be sick, he was cured by that bubble of urine by mistake, he wanted to pursue it again, but he didn't repay it, I have to say, that child's life is really big, but she is more curious about what disease King Yuejun has.
The matter involves the king of Shangyue County, the two children are covered by him, and there is no relationship with the Dingyuan Hou Mansion, no one cares about it at all, but it is Zhiwan who invites the nurse to make Qian's face sink down, and the affairs of the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion are all managed by her, how much money she has given Zhiwan, she knows in her heart, it is definitely not enough for her to invite the nurse, where is the Hou Ye's heart biased, and he actually gave her money in private, is he afraid that she has wronged his baby daughter, Qian suspects that Zhiwan's escape from marriage is fundamentally designed by him, otherwise they can escape from the Hou Mansion with a few of their masters and servants?
Not only the Qian family, but the rest of the people in the room thought so, especially Qin Zhishu, the embroidered handkerchief in her hand was tightened, and a cautious hatred popped out from the bottom of her eyes, she knew that her father loved the fourth sister since she was a child, but she didn't expect that in order to prevent the fourth sister from marrying the king of Yuejun, he helped her escape from marriage, did he know that he helped the fourth sister, and she was the unlucky one, should she be the one who was sacrificed? !
From childhood to adulthood, my father has good things, and the first thing that comes to mind is the fourth sister, even the eldest sister and the sixth sister are ranked behind, and then it is her turn, why is it born to a mother, and my father loves her very much, just because she was raised by Aunt Chun? Qin Zhishu has never hated Zhiwan so much as she did today, if she hadn't been Zhiwan, all her father's love would have been hers!
Qin Zhishu glanced at the Qian family, and then at Qin Zhiyu, the corners of her mouth slowly hooked, even if she gets her father's favor again, her family affairs are decided, even if her father comes back, it can't change her life of marrying Second Young Master Song, and she will feel good in the future.
Zhiwan stood there, a little dazed, not understanding why the faces of this group of people suddenly changed, so he heard Qian sneered, "Hou Ye is really spoiled by the fourth girl, no wonder I can't escape marriage and don't want to come back for a year, I have money in my hand, I want to buy what I want, I don't have to tell me, if it weren't for the pressure of the king of Zhennan, Hou Ye didn't care, I'm afraid that she would have been living outside, maybe he would tell her about family affairs, old lady, you set the second young master Song for the fourth girl, and when the old man comes back, maybe there will be a lot of trouble." ”
