Chapter Seventy-Four: Yu Juanzhi

The moonlit night is quiet and the stars are dim.

It was not an early spring night, and the air was filled with earthy humidity, with some signs of warming. But the weather is still cold, just not as cold as in the cold winter.

Wei Poppy stood under the porch for a while without moving, not knowing what he was thinking?

Ying Man took a padded cloak and walked quickly to the porch to help Wei Poppy put it on from behind. "The king is careful of the cold, the weather seems to be warm, but it is still very cold at night."

Wei Poppy came back to his senses and turned his head to look at Ying Man, who was standing beside him, "It's cold outside, the queen is pregnant, don't suffer from the cold anymore." ”

"I've been stuffy in the room for a long time, and I want to come out to breathe. When the month is still young, I will stand with the king for a while, and it will not be in the way. Yingman said softly and considerately.

This weak woman looks like the queen who attacked the Lingqiu of Qi State a few days ago.

"Is it really good for the king to send General Linghu to attack Lingqiu?" Ying Man said slowly, but every word was heartfelt, "The relationship between General Linghu and Miss Ruyi, it's not appropriate to send him, in case ......" Ying Man didn't say any more.

Wei Poppy's eyes were already dyed with ink, and he had some tumbling emotions, and said in a somewhat cold tone: "General Linghu, as the chief general of a country, doesn't he have this enlightenment?" After speaking, he threw up his sleeves and entered the main hall.

Ying Man hooked his lips, chuckled silently, and then followed into the hall unhurriedly.

At this time, Ruyi's Zizhuyuan was also brightly lit, and Tian Yinqi was afraid that he would have eyeliner by his side and did not dare to stay in his palace to deal with government affairs, so he had to move to the Ruyi Palace.

The two were discussing the matter of the Three Kingdoms' attack on Lingqiu.

"Now that Brother Wang has just ascended the throne, the internal instability of the Qi State is still unstable, and we are not suitable for a big war due to insufficient troops." Ruyi analyzed seriously.

"Wang Mei said that it is reasonable, but it has hit the door, we can't bear it." Tian Yinqi said indignantly.

"Brother Wang, don't worry, now the army of Wei has not yet arrived in Qi, there are only Zhao and Han in Lingqiu, we will meet Zhao and Han in Pinglu first. Maybe it can be saved. Ruyi said as he drew on the paper, "From here to Lingqiu is much faster than Wei Jun to Lingqiu." ”

Without further ado, the two talked about the details again, and Tian Yinqi was ready to leave.

Ruyi looked at Brother Wang's serious writing, and suddenly said, "Brother Wang, haven't you thought about finding me a sister-in-law?" ”

Tian Yinqi hadn't reacted yet, so he jumped to this question as he spoke. Tian Yinqi didn't think about it when he wanted to answer, but a shadow jumped in front of him. Tian Yinqi shook his head.

"Brother Wang should think about lifelong events, it's better than coming to me every time, I'm afraid I won't be able to deceive for a long time."

Tian Yinqi thought about it seriously, the woman who bloomed like a magnolia flower in the cold wind that day.

A few days later, Ruyi heard that Ling Huyuan was demoted by Wei Poppy because of the battle of Lingqiu, and now Wei is the dominant family of Pang Juan. Ruyi didn't expect Wei Poppy to be so confused. The hegemony of Wei is afraid that it will wither from now on. It seems that history has been moving along a set trajectory and has never deviated.

After the battle of Lingqiu was resolved, Tian Yinqi continued to live a ridiculous life, only this time he added another article of indulging in wine-colored singing and dancing.

On this day, Ruyi took Xia He out of the palace to see Su Ruiqing, Su Ruiqing's morning sickness reaction was a bit big these days, and she could only rely on sour plums every day, and her favorite food was the sour plum dried plum brewed by herself in a preserved fruit shop in the south of the city.

Ruyi took a detour to buy plums first, but before he arrived at the shop that sold plums, he first saw Yu Juanzhi walk in front of a pawnshop. Ruyi immediately signaled for the carriage to stop.

"Hey, princess, isn't that Miss Yu?" Xia He also saw Yu Juanzhi and asked suspiciously.

"It's her, don't make a sound, when she's gone, let's go in and see." Ruyi put down the curtain of the car that Xia He had raised. After waiting for a while, I saw Yu Juanzhi coming out of the pawnshop, the tears on her face were not dry, and she was even more puzzled in her heart.

When Yu Juanzhi walked away, Ruyi and Xia He got out of the carriage and entered the pawnshop. The shopkeeper was dressed at first sight, knowing that it must be a big family, and there must be a big deal, so he was extra attentive.

"Shopkeeper, what did that girl do to you just now?" Ruyi turned around and asked pretending not to care.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he quickly found out what the girl was doing just now, not to mention that the jade pendant that the girl was just now was really good jade, and the carving was good. It's definitely the top grade, but it's a pity that it's a job.

"Girl, you see, it's this jade pendant, it's really a good thing. But that girl is a living girl. It hasn't expired yet, and it can't be sold at an open price. Just look at it, girl. The shopkeeper brought up an egg-sized jade pendant with a lifelike magnolia flower carved on it. Whether it is the color or workmanship of jade, it is absolutely the top grade.

Xia He glanced at Ruyi, and then asked, "How many months have you been in charge?" ”

"Three months. The girl was reluctant to be a baby, so she gritted her teeth and said for three months. ”

Ruyi smiled and nodded, "Okay, shopkeeper, we'll come back in three months, and if that girl doesn't come to redeem it, she will sell it to us." ”

The shopkeeper is naturally full of mouths.

Out of the pawnshop, Ruyi was a little in a bad mood. I don't know what difficulties Miss Yu has encountered again. He refused to tell them, and he wanted to break his teeth and swallow them in his stomach.

Ruyi bought sour plums and went to Su Ruiqing's house, and asked about Miss Yu and was told that she had not returned yet.

At this time, Yu Juanzhi walked into the largest song and dance workshop in Linzi City-Yingge Fang, which was really drunk and golden, Yingge Yan Dance, this was just when he arrived in Shen, and there was already a hot song and dance inside, so it was not lively.

Yu Juanzhi walked through the front hall, and as soon as she reached the back staircase aisle, the housekeeper's mother greeted her, "How did you figure it out?" You said you wanted three days, and we gave it to you. Is it time to fulfill our contract? ”

"I know that my mother is the most kind-hearted, and I haven't scraped together enough money yet, that's all. Mom will let me go two more days, and I'll find a way to give you the money. Yu Juanzhi said and took out a money bag, in the form of a hundred and ten taels of silver, and handed it to the housekeeper's mother.

The housekeeper's mother didn't reach out to take it, just looked at Yu Juanzhi and said, "We are doing serious business here, you sold yourself to save your father, you said you were going to send the money back to pay off the gambling debts, and we also allowed you time, although your father was forced to die in the end and could not be saved, but we also spent real money." ”

"I know, I'm not trying to pay the bill, I will definitely raise money to redeem the deed of sale." Yu Juanzhi said solemnly.

The housekeeper's mother is not an unreasonable person, she looked at Yu Juanzhi and said, "Miss Yu, you still have to accept your fate, there are rules in one line." I've given you so many days. If everyone were like this, wouldn't I be a good man's hall here? ”

As soon as the housekeeper's mother finished speaking, a big man came in from behind, "Hua Niang, what are you talking to her, let the boss know that you are a good person again, and be careful of your skin." ”

The housekeeper's mother was so frightened that she didn't dare to say anything, so the big man glanced at his subordinates and surrounded Yu Juanzhi in it.

"Mom, if you believe me, I will definitely be able to raise money." Yu Juanzhi looked at the housekeeper's mother and said movingly.

The housekeeper's mother waved her hand, "You also heard, I can't be the master anymore." You'd better do it yourself. With that, he turned his head and walked to the antechamber.

The four strong men tied Yu Juan's five flowers, stuffed cloth in their mouths, and dragged them to the backyard. Yu Juanzhi struggled and whimpered, but to no avail.

It was getting late, and the candlelight was flickering.

And Ruyi and Su Ruiqing waited for Yu Juan for a long time, and they couldn't sit still, so they ordered the attendants to invite Mama Fang over.

In the interval between waiting for others, Ruyi told Su Ruiqing what he saw on the road.

Su Ruiqing was anxious when she heard this, "Why didn't you tell me earlier." How many hours have passed. Don't let anything happen again. ”

"I thought that she must have encountered something difficult before going to be a thing, and I thought that I would talk to her in private so that she could save her face. Who knew it would be so late and not come back. Ruyi frowned tightly and said nervously.

At this moment, Mama Fang came in, knelt on the ground with a plop, and cried and said, "Two princesses and ladies, you have to save my young lady." ”

"Mama, please get up, talk slowly, what's going on?" Ruyi helped Mama Fang to sit down.

"This thing starts with my lord being addicted to gambling money, my wife went early, my lord did not marry again and became addicted to gambling money every day, lost all the family property and family resources, and finally owed a large amount of debt, the gambling house came to collect debts every day, forcing my lord to want to commit suicide several times. In the end, the young lady sold herself to Yingge Fang and exchanged a large sum of money to pay off the debt, wanting to save the master. But on the way back to deliver the silver, the old man was forced to commit suicide, and the silver was looted by the people in the gambling house. ”

"And then?" Su Ruiqing asked eagerly.

"Later, we met you on the way back to Yinggefang, and the young lady has been raising money to redeem herself. Today is the deadline, but I don't think I have enough money. Now the young lady is afraid that she has been arrested by the people of Yingge Fang. After Mama Fang finished speaking, she cried.

Ruyi and Su Ruiqing glanced at each other, and hurried to save people without further ado.

"Ruiqing, you are at home, I will take some people to Yinggefang to save people." Ruyi said and said to Xia He, "Xia He, you go to Wei Xin and ask him to bring more people." ”

Originally, Su Ruiqing was not at ease to go by herself, but after listening to Ruyi, she asked Xia He to find Wei Xin.

Su Ruiqing advised, "You must be careful. ”

Ruyi and Xia Hebing went to Yinggefang in two ways. Yinggefang is in the most lively central area of Dongguo City. And Sun Bin lives close to the southwest town. Xia He arrived in the palace first, and after inquiry, he learned that Wei Xin had left the palace with the Marquis of Qi and was not in the palace.

Xia He stomped his feet anxiously, secretly thinking in his heart how good Nie Zheng was now, he would be able to fly the eaves and walk the wall and save time. This dead child was not there at the critical moment, and he had to go back to Hetumen for the New Year, and he has not come back yet.

Xia He had to get into the carriage to find Ruyi, and the coachman's whip crackled, and it sounded a little infiltrating in the dark streets.
