"It's not." Mrs. Gao replied, "I was born to the concubine of the third son, and I am five years old this year." ”

Concubine? I married my first wife four years ago, and the concubine already had a son at that time? This is intriguing.

Mo Zi asked, "How many concubines does the third prince have?" ”

"There are only a few. The personal girl who has served the third son since she was a child, is two years older than the third son, called Jinsi. "Aunt Gao even knows her name.

Why not call it a canary? Mo Zi was not right when she heard this name, and she was very disgusted, "The third prince spoils her very much?" ”

"Well, how can you not be pampered? The two main ladies he married were like that, Jin Si not only served him since he was a child, but also gave birth to children for him. If it weren't for the fact that his identity was not a good match, and he was raised to be a wife, there would be no such ugly things. "Mrs. Gao herself is an ordinary person, and her words are a little inclined to golden wire.

"Auntie, have you ever seen the third prince and the golden silk?" Mo Zi took advantage of the situation to ask.

"Just go back to the palace of the king, accompany the old princess and the princess to talk, the third prince came with gold silk and a pair of children to ask for peace, and took a look. is really a little couple made in heaven, plus two pink-carved children, envy others. The princess didn't like Jin Si's lowly status, so she asked her to go back to her yard, leaving only the third son and the two grandchildren to talk. I see that Jin Si is a sensible person. The princess had a straight face, but she was not angry, she smiled so much that she finished the ceremony, and her advance and retreat were very measured. "Aunt Gao didn't realize that the more she talked, the more biased her heart became.

"After all, he is the son of the palace, so it doesn't hurt to accept a concubine, but the wife can't be arbitrary." Mo Zi himself doesn't have that kind of idea, in terms of the values of the whole society.

"Who's to say it isn't. But the third prince looked at the golden silk, in those eyes, how could he still tolerate others. I looked at the old man and his face was red. I heard that Jin Si was the house that the third son received when he was sixteen years old, and after giving birth to a son, he raised a concubine. It's been seven or eight years, and the relationship is so good that it can't be penetrated. Mrs. Gao looked at Mo Zi again, "Actually, even if I have heard those rumors, what does it matter to us outsiders if they are true or false." I advise your young lady to think carefully, I am really afraid that she will be wronged in the past. You said that at home you are the pearl of your parents' palms, who can stand to marry in the past, and the princess loves the concubine more than himself? ”

It turned out that Mrs. Gao saw it very clearly.

"Auntie, you have a point." Mo Zi nodded in agreement. divorce wife, whether the two big ones are jealous of the small one, so they use different ways to fight against it, or let the small one beat up, I'm afraid it's hard to say. But one thing is for sure, the third prince trusts the canary very much, and he will stand by her side no matter what.

"Brother Mo, there is one more point, I have to persuade not to marry. If your young lady wants to marry so far, you must marry her. When the time comes, it will be difficult to meet. When Mrs. Gao said this, her eyes smiling.

"It's not officially about the matchmaker's proposal, what you told me, I also have to tell the girl, let her decide for herself." Mo Zi looked at the sky, and stood up with his hands on his legs, "I've been bothering you for a long time, I'm leaving." ”

"Let's have lunch and then let's go." The tall lady stays as a guest.

"No, thank you for telling me this, otherwise it would have been a mess." Mo Zi walked towards the courtyard gate of the Gao family.

"You're welcome. Because the third prince divorced the second wife, the old princess is still angry with him, and she doesn't speak when she meets him. No matter how the third son coaxes, it's useless. I heard the princess say that she would wait for her new daughter-in-law to enter the door before her grandmother forgave him. Dare to find our Luozhou. Mrs. Gao helped Mo Zi open the door.

Mo Zi saw that there was no one in the alley, so he joked, "After taking a break from Shangdu, no one dares to marry anymore, so I have no choice but to develop outward?" ”

The tall lady screamed obediently.

When Mo Zi walked to the alley and looked back at her, he still leaned on the threshold and waved at herself, smiling back and forth.

After leaving the Gao family, Mo Zi did not return to Ci Nian Nunnery, but went to another place. The purpose is the same, to find out about Xiao Sangongzi. It's not that she doesn't believe what Mrs. Gao said, but she still wants to know more about the two rumors about the divorce of his wife. Besides, even if you go out, there is no reason to go back so quickly.

Mo Zi walked through the civilian area and arrived at Qingqiufang, the most prosperous place in Dongcheng.

Qingqiufang has the best restaurant in Luoju, Wangqiu Tower. In the Wangqiu Tower, there are famous three beauties - wine, food, and beauty. Of course, beauty is the most attractive to businessmen. is essentially different from ordinary brothels, and you can also ask a beauty to accompany you when you drink during the day in Wangqiu Tower. Accompany the poems, sing songs, play the piano and play chess, accompany the same table to pour wine and talk to listen to the guests, and can also accompany the playing cards and embroidery to have a small play. Both men and women can accompany them, as long as they can afford the money in the box. The quality of the beauty is much higher than that of the prostitute, and the performance is not sold to the body, and the contract system with the restaurant is signed annually. The beauty is divided into four levels: dancer, singer, piano player, and seater, and the first level has a first-class price, and the seat is the highest, because the seater can only go to the table after the song and dance and the piano are passed. The restaurant owner takes a 70% commission to pay for the teaching clothes and daily expenses. But the beauties get tips from the guests and go to them, and the boss doesn't care. After the expiration of the contract, the options are equal to both parties.

The outer hall of Wangqiu Lou is the same as a general restaurant, at most the decoration is more spacious and bright. If you want to enter the inner hall, the box, or even the pavilion and water pavilion in the garden to eat, the price is different. A high platform was set up in the garden, and those new singers and dancers performed a certain number of times a day, which was not only to practice their talents, but also to enjoy the visitors. Kill two birds with one stone.

As soon as Mo Zi entered the outer hall, the little second brother came to ask where to eat.

"Inner Hall." There are many people in the outer hall, and there is no stage to divert people's attention.

Xiao Er saw that Mo Zi was not dressed well, but he didn't dare to underestimate the guests, so he led her into the inner hall, handed her over to the people inside, and withdrew. The internal and external division of labor is strict. The little two inside are not like the little two, all of them wear the same blue short shirt and white silk pants, and the purse with the name embroidered on the waist, and they are full of energy.

"Dingzi, this is a guest going to the box, you go take care of the other table, and I'll lead it upstairs." A man in his thirties, dressed in a blue robe, stepped forward and said to Xiao Er, who was wearing a black purple.

His purse is embroidered with the word Zhao Liang.

"Zhao Zhang, yes." Ding Zi went to add tea to someone.

"You come with me." Zhao Zhangshi went up the middle staircase, and opened the southernmost side of the wing door, "Please wait, someone will come to order food for you." ”

"Excuse me." Mo Zi walked in to look at the menu on the table, which became more and more exquisite.

Zhao Zhangshi closed the door outside and left.

Mo Zi opened a window, facing the high platform, and there were three young piano players, plucking out the sound of mountains and flowing water. The skill is not deep, and the skill can only be called skillful, not exquisite. But the magic lies in the unity of the three, and the sound is not bad, as if it is one. After the song, I heard the applause downstairs, which seemed to really attract guests.

Suddenly, a light breeze tickled the dark purple cheeks. When she turned around, she couldn't help but smile when she saw the middle-aged man who was obviously five short but had to wear a bright green brocade robe.

"Cen Da Zhang, seeing you like this, why do I think that even the small wing room has green leaves?"
