Zhuang Rou took Niu Dayong out of the door, looked at the street that he was not familiar with at all, scratched his head and asked, "Brother Dayong, you have all been here for a long time, you should be familiar with Hongzhou, right?"

"Of course, where does Sister Zhuang want to go? I've been to so many places. "This is not bragging, Niu Dayong is also the county next door to the capital, and he is also a person who has seen the world, how can he not dare to run around when he arrives in Hongzhou.

He chirped and said, "There is a butter cake sold in Guanlai Lane on Fuqi Street that is the best in Hongzhou, and the meat of Li Ji sauce on the east street is full of meat and tender, if it is a dim sum, the cat poop candy of Santian Liu Ji is the most flavorful, and there is ......"

Zhuang Rou looked at him in a daze, foaming at the mouth, and counted all the civilian delicacies in the corners of Hongzhou City like a few treasures, if it weren't for the lack of silver, he would have to eat the whole city.

It wasn't until Niu Dayong's stomach was so hungry that he stopped touching his stomach and sucked the saliva that had been hooked out by himself, "Sister Zhuang, what do you want to eat?" ”

Since following the queen of Xiaojun, Niu Dayong's life can be regarded as a nourishing life, and he is no longer the poor ghost who ate bran and drank cold water all day long. Not to mention big fish and meat, but it's still no problem to eat a big elbow or something.

At this time, it is acceptable to invite a guest.

Zhuang Rou looked at his fat belly, frowned and said, "Dayong, don't you save some money to marry a daughter-in-law?"

"I want to marry, but there are not many female cooks, so let's eat first and talk about it later." Niu Dayong thought about it and felt that eating was more important than his daughter-in-law, who knows how her cooking skills were, maybe she couldn't cook at all.

"Just know how to eat, there should be a gambling house here, let's take a look." Zhuang Rou said with a smile.

Niu Dayong remembered that when he was in Douhu County, Zhuang Rou just robbed the gambling house of the silver, and now he won't have this plan, right?

"Sister Zhuang, the gambling houses here are all honest and taxed, it seems that they can't be robbed as openly as before, right?" Niu Dayong said.

Zhuang Rou smiled, "How could I do such a thing, just wait and see, I won't cause trouble for adults." ”

Niu Dayong thought about it, Sister Zhuang didn't seem to have caused anything, she was doing her part. Besides, there is a stall over there that sells chive cakes that taste good, so it's good to go and have a look.

So under his leadership, Zhuang Rou followed him around several streets. The prosperity of Hongzhou is not as good as that of several counties around the capital, although the population is large, the people on the street look very lively. But judging by the goods in the shops and the clothing of the pedestrians, the people here are not wealthy.

Before he reached the door of the gambling house, he heard a cry in the distance, Zhuang Rou glanced at Niu Dayong and hurried to the place where the sound came from. I saw a middle-aged man at the door of a gambling house who was being slapped by two people, and the scolding and begging were endless.

"If you don't pay back the money, you dare to continue gambling, saying that you will take your daughter to pay the debt, where are you hiding!"

"Hu Ye is daunted! Ah! Don't fight, my daughter promised someone before, and I spent all the bride price, so I can only let the other party pick it up, otherwise I won't be able to pay the bride price! The man begged with a swollen face.

When the strong man known as Hu Ye heard this, he was angry, and kicked him a few more times, "You can't pay the bride price, can you pay us?" It seems that I am too polite to you, so you are a little bold! ”

When the man saw that the other party was about to make a move again, he held his head and shouted: "Hu Ye is around, I still have a lady in my family, it must be no problem to use her to pay the debt!"

"Girls for women, you are really good at doing this business, and you will also use your son to pay the debt!" Hu Ye scolded fiercely.

The man immediately hugged his thigh and cried that he couldn't do it, and kept shouting that this was the lifeblood of his family, and he must not sell it to pay the debt.

At this time, the Hu Ye suddenly opened his mouth, "Liu Dong, bring your son and wife, and the previous debts will be written off, and you will be given two taels of silver." ”

"Master Hu, you didn't lie to me!" Liu Dong suddenly came to his senses, and asked happily as soon as he sniffed.

"Hmph, believe it or not. Anyway, if you don't have any money today, you don't want to leave here safely. Hu Ye snorted coldly, glanced at the person standing next to him, and immediately two people grabbed Liu Dong's shoulders and wanted to pull him away.

Liu Dong shook off their hands and hugged Hu Ye's leg violently, "Hu Ye, of course I believe it!" After a while, you will send someone to follow me back, and your son and wife will be handed over to Hu Ye. With such a bold person as Hu Ye, I still have something to worry about. ”

When he heard that not only the debts were settled, but also the silver was used as a gambling book, he immediately decided to sell his wife and children. With these two taels of silver as the capital, as long as you are lucky, let alone your wife and children, you can get your hands on the big house, fields and Yahuan.

Hu Ye sneered and said, "My words count, I will go to your house now to bring people, and people will be able to give you the silver and IOUs as soon as they arrive."

Liu Dong licked his face and said with a smile: "Master Hu, you think it's better to let me play two more games first, anyway, it's still early."

"You have money?" Hu Ye was stunned for a moment, he had obviously searched just now, and he didn't even have a copper plate, so what else could he use to turn the book?

"Master Hu, didn't you say to give me two taels of silver......" Liu Dong rubbed his hands and smiled.

Looking at this guy in a daze, Hu Ye was so angry that he nodded and called a few good, "You have a kind, two taels of silver will be given to you now, if you win, you pay back the money you owe me, and your wife and children don't have to come over." If you lose again, not only your wife and children, but even your old house will be mine! ”

Liu Dong was overjoyed when he heard this, and the chicken kept nodding his head like eating rice, "That's good, thank you Hu Ye, Hu Ye is kind-hearted." ”

"No more nonsense, come in with me!" This kind of sycophant made Hu Ye uncomfortable at all, and after scolding, he turned around and walked towards the gambling house. And Liu Dong happily followed, leaving his wife and children and the old house behind.

Zhuang Rou stood across the street and watched, and did not step forward to meddle in the matter. Gambling houses are all serious businesses agreed by the government, and as for the matter of not paying off his wife and children for gambling debts, as long as no one is killed, it is not the government's turn to take care of it.

It's very simple to take out the money to help pay off the debt, but these gamblers, if you help him pay it back today, he will come to gamble and sell his wife and children tomorrow.

Niu Dayong has long been accustomed to this kind of scene, and originally thought that Zhuang Rou was standing here to take care of this matter, and took the opportunity to take the gambling house to open a whole sum of silver.

But now that everyone has returned to the gambling house, they didn't see her take action, so they asked a little puzzled: "Sister Zhuang, let's take a look?"

Zhuang Rou looked at him and smiled, "Yes, take a look."

"We don't interfere?" Niu Dayong didn't believe it, she really just looked at it this time.

"Let's go, let's go to other places, such as the Fengyue place in Hongzhou." After Zhuang Rou finished speaking, he turned around and left, and Niu Dayong hurriedly followed.

This Hongzhou is not as good as the capital and Douhu County, there are very few gorgeous places in the wind and moon, most of them can't get on the stage, and the location is not good, at least a serious woman like her won't pass by at all.

But Zhuang Rou still went around the main streets in Hongzhou County, until it was dark, Niu Dayong ate two baked cakes to fill his stomach, and was so hungry that she couldn't stop purring, she said that she had seen enough and wanted to go to the dinner.

Niu Dayong had already inquired about where to eat, and when he heard that she finally stopped looking, he quickly led her and ran to Wei Quanju.

Seeing his anxious appearance, Zhuang Rou had to follow him quickly, saving him from not being able to eat good things for a while, and he had to buy supper in the middle of the night to compensate him.

When the two arrived at Wei Quanju, the dinner party had already begun, and the gate was full of people from various families, and there were all kinds of carriages that were parked and could not walk.

In addition, many people heard that the eldest princess's family was as beautiful as a fairy child, and after the current Lord Zhizhou held a banquet here, he came here to see the excitement, and the whole street was crowded with people like a moon lantern festival.

Niu Dayong was in a hurry to eat, and with his huge size, he walked in front of Zhuang Rou like a hippopotamus, blocking the crowd and squeezing towards the gate of Weiquanju.

Zhuang Rou walked leisurely behind him, and soon arrived at the gate, Niu Dayong was already sweating profusely, but the bitterness for the sake of deliciousness was nothing.

There were also people guarding the door, and the most conspicuous appearance in the entire mansion was the two of them, and it was difficult to recognize them, so they let the two in.

Niu Dayong was just a small arrester, so naturally he couldn't sit and eat with a person with a special status like Zhuang Rou, so he hurried to find Wu Renyao and them after saying hello.

As the first canonical history of Hongzhou, the cronies and darlings of Lord Zhizhou, although it was only sealed verbally, and there was no document from the ministry, she walked directly to the fourth floor after asking. The little county king brought officials of all sizes to the banquet of the most famous people in the area.

The third floor is closer, and when the meal is almost complete, the little king will naturally come down to meet you. The two floors are private rooms, and this floor is divided into two sides, one side is the merchant and the other side is the literati, and when they meet them in the aisle, they look down on the merchants.

This is already the norm, although the businessmen do not show it on their faces, they all snort coldly behind their backs.

As soon as Zhuang Rou walked to the third floor in a head-catching suit, she was seen by the literati, and when they saw that a woman appeared in men's clothes, they immediately showed dissatisfaction.

Although the king of Xiaojun has only been here for a day, he brought a woman to be an official or spread throughout Hongzhou in a short period of time, and the literati feel that they must be measured in spoiling women, how can they be arrested, it is really unseemly.

Seeing that they were looking sideways at her, with some contempt in their eyes, Zhuang Rou looked straight at each other and asked, "What are you looking at?" If you have any opinions on the history of this canon, speak up and listen. ”

Classical history?

Not everyone knows about this, after all, it was the temporary intention of the little county king, but the faces of those literati and scholars suddenly changed, and the sky is going to kill my Dahao Dynasty!

They were angry and afraid, so they quickly brushed their sleeves and left, hid in the box, patted the table and sighed all the time, but they didn't dare to be too loud, and they were so aggrieved that they couldn't do it.

Zhuang Rou shrugged and smiled, "Silly." ”

As soon as she turned around and wanted to go upstairs, a fat man with a kind face came to her, holding a box in both hands and said with a smile: "Master Dianshi, I am Zhang Duoji of Wanji Mixing, not long ago, the wife of the family got a pair of red coral and golden hairpins, so I wanted to add makeup to the adult, and I asked the adult to laugh at the little meaning."

"Boss Zhang, look up for a long time, this is really polite, then I'll accept it." Although the other party said it so bluntly, she was afraid that she didn't know how expensive it was, Zhuang Rou was not polite at all, and took it over.

"I made a note of it, and I wish Boss Zhang a prosperous business."

Zhang Duoji hurriedly bowed his hand and saluted: "Thank you for your auspicious words, if you like it, it's good if you like it."

"Naturally, I like it, but I'm not a man, so I don't love these jewelry." Zhuang Rou said with a smile.

"Then the villain won't bother the adult." Zhang Duoji accepted it when he saw it, it was not good to talk so much to the woman of Lord Zhizhou, who made it impossible to bring a female dependent on such an occasion, so he could only bite the bullet.

Zhuang Rou accepted the gift and went up to the fourth floor, and this scene was seen by many people, the literati lamented that the officials were greedy, and the businessmen were anxious.

"This hateful Zhang Duoji actually came to such a hand and won the eye in front of that woman!"

"What should we do, we only brought a gift to Lord Zhizhou, and didn't prepare it for this woman!"

"yes, who knew she would actually come."

"It's too late to buy it now, quickly find the valuable jade or gold jewelry on your body, and the silver ticket is also turned out, take as many as you want and send it away!"

"Don't take out your broken silver, it's just a matter of putting it together, like something!"

"What are you turning over! Send someone to buy it, and Cui Bao Lou is on this street. Women like jewelry, go buy a pullover noodles! ”

The people who were guarding the door of the Wei Quanju were all called into the building, and after a while, many people ran out frantically and ran towards the nearest Cuibao Building.

The owner of Cuibao Building was also on the third floor, and after realizing that everyone was rushing to their own store, he immediately rushed to the window and shouted to the little girl downstairs: "Baodong!" Hurry back and tell the shopkeeper that the set of Baxi pearl heads is not allowed to be sold, you go and bring it to me! Fast! ”

Someone below answered, and ran away quickly, and he sat back with a sigh of relief. But I was secretly happy in my heart, this business is a surprise, and I will send it over tomorrow with some silver.
