"Oh-"

Murong Qi interrupted her with a long voice, her eyes wandered for a while, and then she said, "That's ...... It's a cold at night, not a bad eat, and Sister-in-law Lao is worried. ”

Zhang Wenxin looked at the six or seven maids inside and outside the house, thinking about Mrs. Pang's beloved son, all the food and clothing in this Qingyunju are all in accordance with the specifications of the palace, and it is about a dragon robe away from the prince. Murong Qi slept peacefully at night, how could there be no one to serve? Still cold?

She had a plan for the moment, and she didn't ask any more.

The three of them gossiped, and after Zhang Wenxin ate most of the lychees on his head, he said goodbye with Murong Xi.

In the afternoon, Murong Xi had some replies to deal with, so he had no choice but to go into the study. Zhang Wenxin wandered around the back house alone, and inquired about some trivial matters.

Although Murong Qi was still studying, his monthly pocket money was quite considerable, as much as three hundred taels of silver. In addition, Pang Zi only has such a biological child as him, for fear of treating him badly, in addition to eating and drinking, he will be rewarded with some extra money and goods in three days.

In this way, the amount of silver that Murong Qi can spend freely every month is about six or seven hundred taels. With so much silver, it is enough to spend all day and wine, no wonder he frequently returns late, or even does not return.

Zhang Wenxin is not a person who talks about it, but it has been said that it is all said, and it is okay to ask one more thing by the way. Unexpectedly, when I asked, I realized that Murong Xi's monthly pocket money was only thirty taels!

Although, this mere thirty taels is enough for her to earn a year.

However, when she heard that Xuanping Hou was so favoritism, she was still a little unhappy. As for why it is unhappy, I don't know. What about thirty taels, what about three hundred taels, it's not about her money.

Walking back to Qingfeng Ju all the way in a sullen manner, she suddenly remembered that she had just passed the door, but she didn't know how much pocket money she could receive every month. Three hundred taels didn't dare to think, if she was like Murong Xi, she could have thirty taels, she would be satisfied.

Thinking of this, it was much easier again.

The unitary time has arrived, the unitary time has passed, and there is only one tail left in the unitary time. Murong Qi hadn't gone out yet, Zhang Wenxin decided not to wait any longer, so he dismantled his bun, tied his hair into a bun, changed into a man's deep clothes, and pulled Murong Xi out of the door together.

Twilight slowly descended on Yongjia City, and the streets and alleys lit up with red lights, illuminating a brilliant light.

I don't know if it's a misfortune in the family, although Murong Yanchang spent a lot of money to invite three gentlemen to teach Murong Qi, Murong Qi couldn't learn at all, and he just closed the door every day to kill time. It wasn't until the unitary hour was over that he dressed up and went out.

He did go out to spend all day drinking, but he never let the carriage and his entourage wait outside Yongle Fang, and no one in the Hou Mansion knew which song house he went to.

However, he does have a fox friend and a dog.

After Murong Qi got off the bus at the gate of Yongle Fang, he took the car of this fox friend and dog friend.

Murong Xi sent someone to inquire, and only then did he know that this fox friend had been beaten by his father and locked in the house and grounded. The relevant coachman and the servant even broke their legs and lay in the backyard wailing.

Although the people couldn't see it, the news came out. The place Murong Qi has been going to in the past half a month is the newly opened Baoyue Building in the west of Yongle Fang.

Walking through the lights of the whole street, Zhang Wenxin let out a long sigh, and stopped in front of the door of Baoyue Building with the smell of rouge powder on his nose.

The two came late, and at this time, Baoyue Building was already full, and the door was closed, and there were thugs guarding outside, and they no longer accepted customers. However, the thin layer of red screen can't hide the cheerful flowing music at all, or graceful, light, or graceful beauty reflected on the window, not a seductive style.

Yes, there are still a lot of spectators in front of the Baoyue Building, and even the teahouse opposite is overcrowded, and the tide is rising.

After finding a place with a lot of people and standing for a while, Zhang Wenxin didn't need to speak, he had already heard a lot of news.

In the building, there are not only interracial women playing music and singing, but also inviting a stunning Oiran to sit in the town. The name of the Oiran Fang is called the bright moon, it is said that the willow waist is slender, not a hand, the eyes cut the water, and the soul is seduced. is so amazing, it is worth a lot of money, a cup of tea with her, it costs ten taels, and a description of the boudoir, just a pure one, it costs one hundred taels, and the tea money has to be counted separately, and the wine is even more expensive.

Zhang Wen did the math, he didn't do anything else this night, just went to the boudoir to drink a pot of tea, and a few hundred taels of silver would be gone. If you add a tip, it's even more boundless.

She couldn't help but speak: "A few hundred taels are in other places, and they are almost able to pay a month." ”

This sentence made Murong Xi not know how to answer for a while.

Because he was still young when he left Beijing, he was still young after returning to Beijing. In those years in Qingzhou, his grandfather disciplined him very strictly. So a place like Baoyue Tower, he really has never set foot in it. Naturally, I don't know how to convert the talent and beauty in this with real money.

Zhang Wenxin pursed the corners of his mouth with disdain, and snorted, only to feel that this Murong Xi was simply worthy of the name of a talented man in the prosperous world.

The cheerful and passionate music suddenly ended, and the crowd suddenly lost its voice, and they all held their breath. The figure of the exotic dancing girl drifted away, and after about a cup of tea, the ethereal sound of the piano sounded.

At this time, Zhang Wenxin heard someone whispering: "This is the sound of the piano of Miss Mingyue......"

Before this person finished speaking, he heard a crisp sound of "pop", and was slapped in the face by the people around him: "Shut up!" Delay Lao Tzu to listen to the piano! ”

This man has a big man, a high voice, and he makes more noise, provokes more angry scolding, and the snowball rolls bigger and bigger, and it turns into a scuffle.

Seeing that the momentum was not good, Murong Xi hurriedly pulled Zhang Wenxin and squeezed out a pot of boiling water-like crowd.

Zhang Wenxin was not squeezed, ran to a safe place, and dragged Murong Xi to stop, looking lively with interest.

Murong Xi felt that it was not far enough, and insisted on refusing to stop, and wanted to go further.

Zhang Wenxin was full of interest, patted his chest and promised: "It's okay, you can't beat us, if you really fight, I will protect you." ”

The corners of Murong Xi's cold eyes twitched: "That's really Mrs. Lao." ”

Zhang Wenxin waved his hand: "You're welcome." ”

In the midst of the chaos, a team of street patrols suddenly came and shouted, "What are you doing?" Fight again, and catch all of them back to the yamen! ”

This is the catch of Yongle Fang, because it is close to Chang'an Fang, and they often deal with each other. But today, Zhang Wenxin didn't want to make a fuss, so he pulled Murong Xi away quickly.

After walking far enough, he slowed down: "With Murong Qi's habit of returning for three days and one night, and not returning for five days, six or seven hundred silver per month is definitely enough to spend." Suddenly, he needed to pretend to be sick several times to trick the guards and steal his own gold, and I think it was because of this Baoyue Tower. ”

Murong Xi neatly messed up his clothes and said with appreciation: "Madame is right. ”

The night breeze was light and cold, and the two quickened their pace and hurried back home.

Outside the gate, there was already a family standing in the cold wind, waiting. said that Xuanping Hou had news that he was looking for them on an important matter, so that as soon as the two of them returned home, they would go over immediately.

The time is approaching, and the lights in the Wutong courtyard are still brilliant, as bright as day.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw Murong Yanchang's figure cast on the window, pacing back and forth restlessly. Hearing the maid's announcement, he immediately let the two of them come in and talk.

As soon as Zhang Wenxinfu entered the door, he heard Murong Yanchang ask eagerly, "Is there any news from the Night Pearl?" ”

Zhang Wenxin nodded: "Eight or nine are not far from ten, and the whereabouts have been discovered, but if you want to get it back, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort." ”

Murong Yanchang said: "In whose hands?" ”

Zhang asked, "Is Dad anxious to know?" Will it be too late today? ”

Pang Zi held the tea in his own hands, came out from behind the screen, and said: "There is no news from the night pearl for a moment, and the master will be restless for a moment." Alas, you kid, what are you selling at this time! ”

Zhang Wenxin is selling Guanzi, it is obvious that it is too late to see that it is difficult to disturb anyone. However, Ponzi has spoken, so there is nothing to worry about: "Okay, just invite my father and stepmother, and invite my second brother to come over." ”

Before Murong Yanchang could speak, Pang Zi had already raised his eyebrows, and the golden hairpin in his hair trembled with her movements: "What? What's going on here? He has a lot of homework every day, and he goes to bed early as soon as it gets dark, and I have never disturbed his sleep, why should you! ”

Murong Xi took a step forward, his eyes were cold, and his words were polite with ice ballast: "What my stepmother said is that it is indeed time to rest at such a late hour." Today's lady has been running from dawn to the present for the matter of the night pearl. I'll take my wife back to rest. Everything, when the lady is rested, it is not too late to discuss. ”

A child with a mother is extremely expensive, but her wife, how can she be called by people at will! It is difficult to make up for the mistakes of the past, so from today onwards, pampered!

After that, he shook Zhang Wenxin's wrist, pulled it and walked out. Zhang Wenxin was almost stumbled by him, and hurriedly strode to follow. I don't know where this scholar got so much strength.

Behind him, a hot tea fell to the ground, and it was shattered.

Zhang Wenxin glanced back, only to see Murong Yanchang jumping to his feet in anger: "Rebel!" It's the other way around! The Murong family is unfortunate enough to have such a rebellious ......"

Pang Zi wept and fanned the flames on the side and persuaded: "Master is angry, don't be angry." The eldest prince has always looked down on the concubine and Qi'er, and the concubine has become accustomed to it, and he doesn't want to ...... in front of the master today."

Murong Xi didn't look back, and pulled her all the way out of the courtyard and back to Qingfeng Residence.

Su Qiu had already laid down with his clothes, and when he heard the two of them coming back, he got up and made tea and brought some hot food. Hearing Murong Xi say that he didn't need her anymore, he went back to his room to rest.

In just a few days, a lot of things have happened, and no matter how big Zhang Wen's heart nerves are, he also understands the sophistication of the people in this back house. The festival between Murong Xi and his father and stepmother is far more serious than what the little honest brother and sister inquire, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the same as water and fire.

It's pathetic.

The children of the mothers go to bed early...... Although, Mrs. Pang didn't know that Murong Qi used sleeping as a cover to go out frequently. However, Aiko's heart is not adulterated at all.

Poor Murong Xi, a motherless baby, followed her to wear the stars and the moon, and only came back in the middle of the night.

No wonder he lost his temper.
