Chapter Twenty-Four: Qi Su Niang Who Left Chen Yan (4)
On the ninth day of the Double Ninth Festival, the Yingshen Shrine on Gaoyou Street was full of drama, and it was passed from the front of the state government into the silent backyard of the Cao Bang altar.
"Thank you grandmothers for your rewards, good luck"
"Thank you for your rewards, and your wealth will be abundant"
Lian Dahe listened to the sound of the acrobatic troupe begging along the street, looked at the noon sun rising into the sky, walked to the door of Lian Zhenyun's room with the two girls, knocked lightly, and finally heard a slight sound inside, "Come in......"
As soon as the door opened, there was a smell of alcohol. Lian Dahe put away the two wine jars on the table, put the food in his hands on the table, and the girls stepped forward to wait for Lian Zhenyun to wash his face and comb his hair, change into a jade-colored satin clip, tie two jade belts, and put on crow blue satin boots.
Lian Dahe secretly glanced at it, and the girls took the Wang Nu Yugui sachet, followed the dragon to ascend to the sky jade pendant, and the dark red marriage line had no purse, and took care of Lian Zhenyun carefully. Lian Zhenyun raised his head, walked to the table and sat down.
Lian Dahe ordered the girls to withdraw, and while waiting for Lian Zhenyun to eat Chongyang cake and drink chrysanthemum wine, he said in a low voice: "Big boss, there is news from the main altar, the helper has been good and bad in the past few days, I'm afraid it won't last long." Although the people under the second gang leader made some moves, they were all watched by the big bosses, and they couldn't jump. Gaoyou's side is also keeping an eye on it from time to time, and once something happens in Huai'an, he can respond. ”
Lian Zhenyun nodded slowly, "Have you found the whereabouts of Lord Cui, the head of Hebiao Qian?" ”
"The surnamed Cui returned to the city alone early this morning, and he still stayed at the post station, neither returning to Yangzhou nor meeting Qi Sanye."
Lian Zhenyun said slowly: "Third Master Qi and the surname Cui Di are afraid that they are not agreed, staring at the surname Cui to see what he is going to do." ”
Even Dahe hurriedly responded. He also said: "Although the surname Cui Di has not moved. But now he went into the city with his front foot. There were a number of piercing figures on the back foot who followed to Gaoyou City. ”
Lian Zhenyun was slightly stunned. Look sideways at him. "What's the eye?"
Lian Dahe whispered: "One is the master." One is a eunuch. There were also many guards behind him. It looks like a noble person in the capital. ”
"Did you follow Cui Hao into the place? Or did they come in together by chance? ”
"I can't see it for a while. In the first month of next year, the emperor will make a southern tour. It's only three months. Many nobles in Beijing used excuses to stand in front of them. Or come out in person. Or send a subordinate out of Beijing. News from Huai'an. The eighth master has arrived in Huai'an City. I'm afraid that the other elder brothers will also come out. ”
Lian Zhenyun slowly put down his wine glass. frowned and said: "The emperor must come to Yangzhou every time he travels south." This will hear that the prince is a chauffeur. If the eighth master and the ninth master also come. It is inevitable that the two sides will compete with each other. We're in a good situation......"
Lian Dahe thought for a while, "Xiaodi has ordered someone to keep an eye on the noble man who entered the city, Xiao guessed, this person is most likely the eighth master, if the big boss can meet this master in Gaoyou first......"
Lian Zhenyun nodded, "Tell Wang Si to be careful, don't let this master have an accident in Gaoyou City." Most of the time he wants to come to Wuweilou for dinner, even if he doesn't come, he will lead him here. If you do, let me know immediately. The gang leader has recently transferred the affairs of the alliance with the Zhejiang Gang and the Songjiang Gang to me, and he must be extremely ill, if he goes, we will have to rely on ourselves in the future. ”
Lian Dahe responded, and looked at Lian Zhenyun's face again, "Lord Futai has sent off the new governor of Liangjiang, and he is in a hurry to come from Yangzhou City. ”
Lian Zhenyun snorted lightly, "Didn't he ask those celebrities to redeem Su Gaosan from the building on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival?" It's useless to come now. ”
Seeing that his face was fine, Lian Dahe smiled and said: "Xiaodi thinks the same way, Madame has been buying utensils and utensils for the past few days, and she has made up her mind to go back to her mother's house in the countryside to live." ”
Lian Zhenyun was silent for a long time, and said for a long time: "When Third Master Qi goes to Yangzhou, she will go back to the countryside...... Send two stable and decent mothers-in-law to Qi's house every day to ask for peace, and buy some fine food that she often likes to eat in my house, or fresh fruits. Don't have too much, take a box every day and send it over, just say...... They said that I gave it to me, and I hope that I will be able to visit it in person. Sighing, "If she refuses to accept it, she will come back, and the next day she will change it to a fresh one, and send it to the day she receives it." With that, he stood up and walked out the door.
Lian Dahe secretly breathed a sigh of relief, followed him and responded, and hesitated: "I'm afraid it's ...... just to send these."
Lian Zhenyun paused, "I'm ...... Write a handwritten letter...... Give her ......"
Wang Si saw Lian Zhenyun walking out of the courtyard gate, and hurriedly greeted him, "The big boss, today is Chongyang, the small ones have a banquet on the Wuwei Tower, invite the big masters to celebrate the festival, show the filial piety of the small ones, and invite the big masters to appreciate the face." ”
Lian Zhenyun smiled slightly, "Is there still a place upstairs in Wuwei?" I'm afraid that the people who welcome God will be occupied long ago, right? Isn't it just the panic now? Squeezing to the Wuwei Building is to take off a layer of skin. ”
Wang Si said with a smile: "Since I received the letter from the big boss on the road from Yangzhou, the little ones have not let the Shuanghong private room passive.
Now the city god has passed the state government and gone to the south of the city, and the people in the west part of the city have dispersed......"
Lian Zhenyun nodded, "Then go, I can't let you bother in vain." ”
Lian Zhenyun rode on a horse, Wang Si, Lian Dachuan, Lian Dahe and others followed on horseback, and the gang with red scarves on their front and back waists was afraid that there would be no hundreds of people, so they shouted all the way to the bottom of Wuwei.
Wuwei Lou is also dressed up today, inside and outside the door, the windows between the buildings are full of dogs, a chrysanthemum mountain is placed in the middle of the store, hundreds of pots of colorful chrysanthemums, competing for strange and colorful chrysanthemums, attracting people's frequent visits. Chrysanthemums are held in the hall
The scribe of Huajiu took the four treasures of the study, marked the titles of "Chrysanthemum Shadow", "Chrysanthemum Fragrance" and "Chrysanthemum Rhyme" on the powder wall, shook his head and groaned.
Lian Zhenyun went upstairs all the way and entered the double red private room, where a large plate of steamed crabs was placed in the middle of the luodian table, and four plates of fried crab roe, snowflake crab bucket, gourd shrimp crab, and drunken crab were ordered. Accompanied by four meat and four vegetarian dishes, but four meat and silver bird's nest, ten sea cucumbers, purse crucian carp, hibiscus chicken slices, mushroom soup, lotus leaf steaming, boiled dried shreds, Wensi tofu four vegetarians, in addition to Chongyang chrysanthemum wine, there are also four fine fruits, a full table. This kind of banquet is enough to entertain the emperor's brother.
Lian Zhenyun smiled slightly, sat down on it, and looked at Wang Si, "You can sit down too, it's not easy to prepare these." Wang Si's face was full of joy, and he poured wine for Lian Zhenyun first, and Fang Xie sat down.
Lian Zhenyun slowly drank a glass of wine, and faintly heard a knock on the door of the next room from the corridor, and then the door opened, "Grandma, the uncle asked the little one to tell the aunt and grandmother, and when he came to pick up his aunt, he was dragged by an old friend on the road to catch up with his old friends, and he couldn't get away for a while to pick up his aunt, and asked his aunt to play in the building for a while, and the uncle came to pick up his aunt and grandmother when he was done." ”
A burst of chuckles sounded, and Lian Zhenyun was slightly stunned, "Next to it, is Qi Sanye ordered?" ”
Wang Si said respectfully: "Yes, the ladies in the Third Master Qi's mansion came to see Chongyang Shehuo and haven't gone back yet." ”
"My brother is the best at running away halfway, I was lost by him in this building is not the first time, but he is embarrassed to tell me not to take Bi'er, he came to pick me up and go back to dinner.
Fu Ming, I know, you go. ”
I heard the little guy laugh and responded, "Auntie, do you want to send you back?" ”
"No, now that the women have come out, it's not a disobedience for me to walk alone on the road. I'll look at this window for a while, and then I'll go back when I'm a little less. Hurry up and wait for the uncle, tell the uncle to drink less wine, come back early in the evening, and don't be an uncle there. ”
Hearing that the woman was left alone in the room, the little servant closed the door and withdrew, and the corridor was quiet. Even the big boat looked at Duobaoge on the wall, and then at Wang Si, but he didn't make a sound.
Lian Zhenyun drank absentmindedly, endured it for half a quarter of an hour, and finally turned around and beckoned Lian Dahe over, "Go and ask Madame, do you wish" Before he could speak, he vaguely heard someone downstairs outside the window calling out in surprise: "Miss Qi......"
There was a sudden sound of panicked footsteps next door, and the sound of the door being vigorously pulled open, the woman seemed to rush out of the room, and rushed through the corridor like a burning ass, knocking over two or three people in a row, and rushing downstairs with a muffled sound. The sound of smashing dishes and scolding in the corridor became one.
Lian Da River and Lian Da Boat looked at each other. Lian Zhenyun stood up immediately, opened the door and walked out hurriedly. He stood on the corridor and saw that the woman was long gone. Just as he was puzzled, he saw a figure in a pink magpie robe suddenly running back, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed upstairs, and it was the woman.
Lian Zhenyun saw that the woman's face was flushed and sweating profusely, and she ran to Huihong's private room and didn't dare to go in again, and there was no way back, she looked scared and anxious, and hurriedly greeted her, "Madam, what's wrong......
When the woman saw him at first glance, her face suddenly showed ecstasy, and she jumped up and grabbed him by the sleeve, "Great master, have you opened a private room?" You must have opened the private room, let me hide for a while" said that, he hurriedly looked back, gasped, shook off Lian Zhenyun, and rushed straight into the double red private room behind him.
Lian Zhenyun looked straight at the staircase, and saw a white-faced, beardless and feminine man looking at this side with a confused face, turned his head to one side and walked up to the staircase, wearing a dark arrow-sleeved robe, and said to a man with a slight beard: "Master...... It seems that I have gone to another private room...... I'm afraid the minions are wrong......"
“…… I look like ...... How did Chen Bianzhi discipline the inner >, so that she was allowed to show up in front of the window of the restaurant, go, and call Chen Bianzhi over......"
Lian Zhenyun frowned slightly, turned around and went back to the double red private room, closed the room and turned his head to look, and couldn't help laughing, "Madam, there is a ...... that can't be hidden."
Wang Si had already been dragged away by Lian Da Boat, and the woman wanted to drill under the table when she saw it, but even Da He laughed and stomped her feet, but she didn't dare to step forward to pull her. Lian Zhenyun stepped forward a few steps, grabbed her arm, dragged her away from the table, and smiled softly: "Don't be afraid, with me, who is the person outside?" ”
The woman shook his hand desperately, "No, let me hide quickly, he is the same as the fourteenth master, he will scold when he opens his mouth when he is angry......"
Lian Zhenyun heard the words "Fourteenth Master", and then remembered the conversation he vaguely heard just now, his face turned gloomy, and he looked at Wang Si, "Open the secret door." ”
Wang Sizheng was at a loss, and when he heard Lian Zhenyun's voice, he came back to his senses, and hurriedly responded, turned around and twisted the mechanism in Duobaoge, only to see a "Kaka" sound, and a secret door opened on the opposite wall, revealing a small secret room.
The woman was surprised and delighted, shook off Lian Zhenyun's hand, rushed in, and when she got to the door, she turned around and poked her head out, panting while looking at Lian Zhenyun and said, "Big boss, be careful to talk to him, and ...... Don't give me a confession......"
Lian Zhenyun nodded with a smile, "Don't worry, you can hide in peace, I will take you out when I send him away." ”
The woman smiled and watched the secret door slowly close, but still said, "Be careful when you talk to him...... Don't offend him......" (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next. More chapters, support &&&&& Chinese net&)
