The man in the mask looked at the stunning appearance of the crying pear blossom with rain, and continued indifferently: "I have a corresponding story to tell you again,

The overflow of the Yellow River in the lower reaches of Youzhou (now Hebei) has been very frequent in the past 100 years, and floods have broken out almost every three years.

The imperial court also attaches great importance to it, resulting in a huge number of institutions governing river workers, people are floating in things, and the more officials, the more corrupt officials must occupy the majority, so as long as the imperial court has money to set it up, these officials will connect up and down, layer by layer, and finally the silver money allocated can be left six or seven out of ten, which is good.

Money is hot, so some people try to eat the remaining six or seven tenths together, as long as they look for a scapegoat with a simple background afterwards, so a good official who is honest and honest and refuses to go along with the dirt will be a scapegoat. There are demons and monsters in the world who do evil, and there will also be righteous people who want to get rid of demons and subdue demons, and this righteous man has some evidence in his hands that can rehabilitate good officials. ”

The masked man was silent as if waiting for Xie Hanyun's reaction, and raised his head to look at the candle flame dancing above the stone room.

Xie Hanyun had already wiped away the tears on his face, looked at the flickering and jumping candle flame with a calm face, and said:

"These people are so bold, they must have the courage to be tough in the background, if they want to find out the whereabouts of all the public funds, they will implicate a lot, and it will cause old things, and the entire officialdom will set off a stormy wave, which is not something that can be stirred up by just one person. Unless the righteous man has a strong backer behind him. ”

"Bang bang bang". The masked man turned his head to look at Xie Hanyun and clapped his hands gently, and the applause was particularly crisp in the stone market.

"Wise, do you know what this righteous man has to do to lift the lid?"

"The slave and the maid only know that if they are loyal to their master, they will be able to help me achieve what I want." Xie Hanyun complimented him in a timely manner.

"Haha! Ha ha! A hearty laugh rose, and the masked man looked at Xie Hanyun carefully.

"Well, as long as you are truly loyal to me, I can rehabilitate your father and keep your father's reputation from being tarnished."

"Leaving the Hung"

"Subordinate in" A flat female voice came from outside the door.

"See the master" walked into the door of the stone chamber a black-clad masked woman in a tight suit stepped forward and knelt on one knee.

The masked man approached Lihong with his hand, but looked at Cheng Chen and said: "Lihong will contact you alone in the future, if you have something to tell her to do, she lives here, the basement is under the bed where you live, don't worry, the exit is controlled by you outside." ”

"I've seen Miss." Lihong stepped forward and knelt down on one knee.

Xie Hanyun helped Lihong with both hands, smiled, and said, "In the future, my name will be Cheng Chen." ”

The masked man spoke again, saying, "Lihong, take Miss Cheng Chen up to see Lu Jun." ”

"It's the master." Leave Hongying Road.

In an extreme study, there are three rows of sandalwood bookshelves erected against the wall, and a desk is arched between the bookshelves, and on the left side of the desk is a set of sandalwood chairs, which are simply furnished, which can be seen that the owner does not like luxury and does not lose the ancient charm and elegance.

Lu Jun looked at the beautiful woman sitting on the left, his eyes full of admiration. Lu Jun has been in his life for more than 20 years, and his beauty is not uncommon, and this beauty in front of him is the most outstanding he has ever seen.

"Meigo, you tell Miss Cheng about this Oiran Contest in detail."

"Okay, host." A beautiful woman standing at the desk agreed.

This woman is more than 30 years old, her skin is as delicate as warm jade, soft and greasy, her cherry mouth is red without dotting, delicate and beautiful, and the two strands of hair on her cheeks are gently brushed with the wind, adding a bit of seductive style.

The beautiful woman turned her head to look at Cheng Chen and said with a smile: "Miss Cheng Chen, the slave family's name is Mei Ge, the mother in charge of Xuanyu Pavilion, the girl can call me Sister Mei." Three days later, the Oiran Contest participated in the entire Shengping Fang, the top girls of more than 300 flower buildings and famous gardens, and tried their singing and dancing talents behind the scenes. ”

Mei Ge walked to the table and took a few sips of tea to moisten her throat, and continued: "In this competition, there are three largest buildings that do not need to participate in the primary selection, Xuanyu Pavilion, Qiongfang Garden, and Splendid Building, because the top ten girls on the "competition list" in the whole workshop are all from these three families. The first place is the Yin Yue of our Xuanyu Pavilion, the second is Yi Lianli of Jinxiu Building, and the third is Xiao Xiaoxiao of Qiongfang Yuan. ”

Mei Ge approached Cheng Chen, looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "The slave family can definitely overwhelm the crowd when she looks at the girl's appearance and temperament, but I don't know how this talent is..."

"I won't disappoint Sister Mei." Cheng Chen got up and saluted. As a modern person with thousands of years of historical knowledge, this little bit of self-confidence is still needed.

"Giggles," Mego grinned, "that's good, this Oiran must have landed with us this year." ”

"Miss Cheng Chen is a bamboo in her chest, don't be careless and look down on others." Lu Jun interjected at the right time.

"Master Lu" Cheng Chen looked at Lu Jun and said with a smile: "Slaves must do their best!" ”

When Cheng Chen was looking forward to it, his eyes were like silk. Lu Jun was stunned.

"Giggles" Mego glanced back and forth at the two of them, and said with a joking smile: "If the owner has nothing else to explain, the slave family will take the girl out to familiarize herself with the environment." ”

Lu Jun was not angry at Mei Ge's ridicule, and waved his hand to signal that he could leave.

Mei Ge took Cheng Chen's little hand and walked out of the room, and said as she walked: "Xuanyu Pavilion has two pavilions and one garden. There are two pavilions in the east and west, and the east pavilion is three pavilions side by side, each with three floors, and the people living in it are all more valuable Qing people, and they are all selling their art and not selling their bodies. ”

"The West Pavilion is a square pavilion connected by four floors, each with three floors, and the garden corridor between the East and West Pavilion is connected.

The full hall in the middle of the west pavilion is to receive guests, and the third floor is the reception hall, with a stage for performances, and there are singing and dancing performances every day, and the guests who watch will give some silver.

The remaining more than 80 rooms on the third floor are occupied by Qing people, and there are some orchids, and all the girls in Xuanyu Pavilion are not selling their bodies. It is a major focus of the entire Shengping Fang. Those who can come here to consume are all wealthy and wealthy, and they pay attention to elegant taste. ”

"The Moxiang Garden is in the garden, and the Moxiang Garden is used to provide grand feasts and gatherings for literati, scholars, scholars, dignitaries, and nobles." Mego gushed introductoryly.

"Why don't I take the girl for a walk to get acquainted?"

"Thank you, Sister Mei, I'm tired today, I'm a little tired, and I want to go back and rest early." Cheng Chen's face was tired.

"Well, well, the slave family will take you back to rest first, and your little maid will wait in your room."

"Thank you, Sister Mei, sister will call me by my name in the future, the girl will be called a little bit." Cheng Chen had a good impression of this generous and enthusiastic Mego.

"Giggles, sister, Qiao'er is so sweet, others call me mom. Okay, I'll call you Chen'er in the future, okay? ”

"Yo, look at my head, Chen'er can have dinner?" Mego feigned annoyance and patted her forehead lightly.

"But I haven't had dinner, and I'm going to bother Sister Mei." Mei Ge mentioned that Cheng Chen also remembered that she hadn't eaten dinner, and the excitement of arriving in a new environment made her not feel hungry.

The two talked as they walked, and after a while, they came to Cheng Chen's room, not far from Lu Jun's study, both in the East Pavilion.

"Chen'er" Meige looked concerned and said, "You go to wash up first and go to the tired, and my sister will immediately order someone to bring hot water and food." ”

"Thank you, sister."

Cheng Chen pushed the door into the room, the partition doors on both sides were hung with snow-white curtains, all sides were carved and exquisitely decorated, there was a table of eight immortals in the middle, behind the complex and gorgeous cloud-colored screen was a boudoir bed, and there was a small door on the right side of the screen, which should be a clean room for washing.

Cheng Chen looked at the little golden beast stove on the dresser, and the ambergris was swirling in the golden beast incense burner.

That's extravagant......

"Miss, you're back."

Cheng Chen looked at the source of the sound and saw that Xizhu and a little maid with a hairstyle with double temples were struggling to carry a large bucket of water into the clean room.

"Miss, this bathtub is really big, the slave maid has to carry four times of water to fill it, this little lady is called Xiaoqing, she was assigned to our room, she is only fourteen years old, one year younger than the slave maid. Xiaoqing came to see Miss, Miss treats people well. ”

Xizhu has a child's heart, and he is not worried when he comes to a strange new environment, and he is still jumping around.

"The slave has seen the young lady." Xiaoqing was a little flustered and wanted to kneel down and salute.

Cheng Chen held up the little maid who wanted to kneel and salute.

"I don't have a kneeling rule, your name is Xiaoqing, what's your surname?"

"The slave's surname is Zhang, the small is the size of the small, the green is the blue of the blue, and the slave's father sold the slave and the maid when he came in and said that I was not allowed to use my surname in this pickled place."

"Hmph, your father is disgusting himself with such a behavior, and he himself sold his daughter into the Qinglou. This villain is compared to my father, but I don't want my surname, and I hate that my father doesn't want to have his surname. Xizhu said angrily, with a posture of hatred and hatred.

"Xiaoqing, you don't need to be so restrained when you get along with us in the future, just treat me and Xizhu as friends, I don't have many rules." Cheng Chen looked at this bright-eyed little lady and sighed that in this evil feudal era, in the modern era, the flowers of the motherland are still coquettish under the pampering of their parents.

Xiao Qing, who bowed his head, heard Cheng Chen's words, and felt extremely warm in his heart, and a mist appeared in his eyes. Choked in his throat and said with difficulty: "Thank you, Miss." ”
