Chapter 80: Spring Blossoms
Zhuang Rou was taken to a small alley by the carriage turning left and right, and vaguely heard the sound of music and rhythm, thinking that the sect division was almost there.
Yang Qing smiled at her, "Don't worry, the sinner girl who hasn't been taught/taught won't accept customers, you should be fine, just be careful." ”
“…… Can I catch someone and beat them until I say it? Zhuang Rou was silent and whispered.
"No, you must be patient, and you must not mess around." Yang Qing smiled, and suddenly asked again, "If there are any other murder weapons, take them out, and there will be an old mother to search your body when you go in." ”
Zhuang Rou pursed her lips, took out the heart goggles from her chest, and pulled out two daggers from the trouser legs, and then pulled the cuffs out, and the iron thorns kept falling out.
Yang Qing looked at her speechlessly, and said with a wry smile: "Fortunately, I asked one more question, otherwise how could so many things be hidden, and if there are any, take them out again." ”
"No, it's really bare-handed now." Zhuang Rou stretched out her hands, and there was nothing left except the silver bracelet she had just put on.
Staring at her hand, Yang Qing suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled a long needle like a hairpin from the underwear that was attached to her wrist. The pointed end is sharpened, and if you hit the neck from the side, it will definitely kill you.
"And said no, what is this!" He asked, holding the long needle.
Zhuang Rou didn't explain, just pouted and said, "It's really not there now, there is no weapon to take advantage of, what if you encounter danger?" ”
"It's okay, every day we will send people in to play, and we will pay attention to the movement when the time comes." Yang Qing put away the long needle and let her relax.
Well?
Zhuang Rou blinked, "You can talk so well about drinking flower wine, so will you come?" ”
"Probably, it's normal for us to come here anyway, if someone is not good for you, run to a crowded place, and someone will relieve you." Yang Qing admonished, this place is not like other places, men have become well-dressed beasts, and they have peeled off the skin of a gentleman.
"Got it, don't worry." Zhuang Rou nodded, can it still be eaten?
At this time, the carriage stopped, and Yang Qing went out first, and after a while, he opened the curtain, squeezed his eyes at Zhuang Rou, reached out to hold her hand, and dragged it down roughly.
Zhuang Rou was pulled out of the car in a daze, and saw that this was at the side door of a big mansion, and there was a eunuch with an indifferent face standing at the door, and he was lukewarm to Yang Qing with half-lowered eyes. Seeing that Zhuang Rou was pulled out of the car, he flattened his mouth and said, "Is that her?" ”
"Father-in-law, she is the concubine of the lord, who was sent away because the master's mother couldn't tolerate it, and missed the house. This happened to be found out, so I caught it by the way and sent it here according to the rules. Yang Qing smiled and said, his tone was a little soft, sure enough, this matter was really suitable for him, and the others might have killed this eunuch a long time ago.
The eunuch looked at Zhuang Rou coldly, and snorted from his nostrils, "It's too old, another old vegetable gang." ”
Zhuang Rou was stunned for a moment, I! Old vegetable gang?
She was angry in her heart, although other girls were engaged and married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, but eighteen said that they were old, which is too much!
"Yo, I'm still a grumpy donkey." Seeing her eyes wide open, the eunuch said in a cold voice.
Yang Qing didn't want to stay here longer, so he clenched his fists and said, "Father-in-law, the person has been delivered, and I will leave if I go down again." ”
"No." The eunuch responded coldly, and two small servants ran out from behind, dragging Zhuang Rou into the courtyard on the left and right, and the door behind him slammed shut.
Zhuang Rou still has time to look up here, this should be a place to enter and exit materials, the daily food and clothing of the Teaching Workshop Division is not small, this place looks like a business inn.
She was caught by the two and followed the eunuch in, and stopped before the locked door, where the eunuch took out a copper spoon and locked it. As soon as he opened the door, four guards inside looked at him and clenched their fists at him, "Father-in-law Qian." ”
Father-in-law Qian ignored them, but walked in, and the two little guys pushed Zhuang Rou in, but they didn't come in, but closed the door.
Zhuang Rou looked at them inexplicably, and saw that Father-in-law Qian took the lock that was hanging outside just now and locked it here. The defense is really tight, and you have to carry the lock when you go in and out casually.
"Come with me, you're so old, and you're not a little girl, don't you need me to be hard, right?" Father-in-law Qian glanced at Zhuang Rou and said.
This is natural, and Zhuang Rou is not here to sell her innocence, so she nodded, "Hmm." ”
Seeing that she was still obedient, Father-in-law Qian took Zhuang Rou and walked forward along the road.
This is a small courtyard, with two gates, and a row of houses on each side of the courtyard, which should be the place where the guards and others live. The door in front of it was unguarded, but it was also locked, and it was impossible to enter or exit without a key.
This is the Teaching Division, and it's not a prison, the defense is so tight, who can run!
After walking a few steps, the two of them arrived at the door inside, and Father-in-law Qian unlocked the door again, and after entering, he turned around and locked the door again. Looking at this scene, Zhuang Rou could understand why his face was so ugly, if she had been unlocking the lock all day long, she would have smashed the lock a long time ago.
However, her eyes were not on Father-in-law Qian, but in other places, behind this gate was a very large courtyard, in the courtyard was a large green grass, and there were four large and five platforms on the grass.
There is a corridor in the middle of the platform, including the platform with a roof to block the sun, and there is a circle of rooms on the side of the platform. There weren't even a tree around, so it wouldn't be easy for someone to escape over the wall.
Although it was early in the morning, there were already many men and women here, all on the platform above, the women were learning to play the piano and dance, and the men were learning to juggle or dance. In the room next to it, there was a faint figure of someone, and the sound of chaotic instrumental music was mixed together, which was particularly noisy.
The main thing to do is to do this, and the person who dances the best in it will also be selected into the palace. But most of them are only learning art during the day, and at night they have to go to the front yard to pick up customers, and accompany those powerful officials to chant poems and sing all night.
Zhuang Rou's eyes fell on that side, except for some red cards with thousands of manners, who looked like they had been in the field for a long time, all the boys and girls who were learning art were about ten years old, or younger, and eighteen like her were really old women.
Even the red cards of those who have a few people seem to be not as old as her.
"Let's go." Father-in-law Qian sneered and let her look at it for a while, there were already two little eunuchs waiting quietly next to him, and a guard was standing aside to protect him. After all, there are so many bad things to do, maybe there will be a crazy person running out at any time, what can I do if I give him a look.
As soon as they walked forward, Zhuang Rou had to follow, but looking at those who were learning art, she asked casually: "Father-in-law, is it just an old ugly girl like me to help out in the back kitchen or do rough work?" ”
"Huh?" How dare you talk to yourself? Father-in-law Qian glanced at her disdainfully, and said angrily, "There are more people who are older than you, there is no need to learn for an older person like you, learn the rules of the three days and then pick up customers." ”
Zhuang Rou stopped suddenly, this is different from what Yang Qing said!
"Don't say you came in like this, those who have more pot ash on their faces, and I have to wash my face to see it. Although Eighteen is a little older, he still has some appearance, and it is still okay to accompany some officials who are not of high rank. How could Father-in-law Qian not know what she was thinking, so he sneered.
Anyway, there are still three days, and when the time comes, maybe the people who come are all from the little king, so Zhuang Rou responded: "I can't leave here anyway, so follow my father-in-law's arrangement." ”
Although Father-in-law Qian's face was very calm, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, this is the Department of Teaching, and all the officials and families who were raided were sent to him.
There are many people who want to die, and it is the norm to obey after the punishment, and there are many people who can grit their teeth and accept it calmly, but this kind of person who seems to be indifferent is the first time I have seen it.
He couldn't help asking, "Who is your father?" ”
"Dead." Zhuang Rou responded without thinking.
Father-in-law Qian frowned and said angrily: "I'm asking about the situation in your family, to be honest." As he spoke, he took the booklet from the little eunuch next to him and flipped it up.
Zhuang Rou smiled and said: "Why should my father-in-law be nervous, I am naturally Lin Meihua, as for who my father is, does that kind of person still need to be mentioned?" ”
"At least your father, who has been knowledgeable since he was a child, but is so indifferent, can be regarded as unfilial." Seeing that she could laugh, Father-in-law Qian scolded her.
"I don't know that kind of person, who is disloyal to the emperor, unjust to the people, and even more loveless to his children. Throw me in the Zhuangzi since I was a child, let some old slaves beat and abuse, and there is no filial piety without support. If it weren't for him, how could I be standing here, and please don't sympathize with that kind of person. Zhuang Rou looked at him, her eyes were full of determination, and she didn't have the slightest fear.
Father-in-law Qian sneered: "This is the Teaching Workshop Division, as long as you enter here, you have to listen to me." Even if it's an official of the Ministry of Rites, it's useless, I'm a prison officer here, don't think that these words are said, those sour rot will only sigh that they can't live and can only teach sinners here can be kind to you. ”
Seeing that this guy has thought so much, it seems that those people who play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting should look down on him very much in private, and they are a little embarrassed and angry when they don't mention anything.
Zhuang Rou smiled and said: "What my father-in-law says is what I say, I don't know where to learn the rules, I have to rely on my father-in-law to eat for most of my life, and I want to learn the rules as soon as possible and get the favor of my father-in-law." ”
"Hmph, Flim Flam." Father-in-law Qian found that she didn't look like an official lady at all, but more like an old oilman who had been in the market for many years, and these concubines who were sent out were really unscrupulous in order to survive.
There was no one before, but he went back to the house and handed over the evidence of his father's greed for money. Her father's head was cut off, her brothers and uncles were all sent to the army, and she was brought here with the group of sisters and aunts, even her mother.
In addition, everyone is unlucky together, and they don't let go of one, there are so many crazy concubines.
"Father-in-law, do you know what the happiest thing in the world is?" Zhuang Rou looked at him with a smile, "It's just that looking at the people who were originally rich and noble, but now they have a miserable and miserable face, please point it out to me when my father-in-law sees the people of the Lin family." ”
She showed a look of joy, "I was too young when I left home, and I don't remember what happened to the women who drowned my mother and abandoned me to the wicked woman in the village." ”
Although she is not Lin Meihua, Yang Qing has said that this person did exist, but a few years ago, he had a cold and no one cared about it, and he survived to death in that dilapidated cold house.
Zhuang Rou borrowed her identity and said a few heavy words, which could be regarded as paying rent.
