Chapter 137: Spring Breeze Pavilion
The first thing Leng Yue'er did when she opened her eyes was that she was called away by the housekeeper.
Looking at the housekeeper who led the way in front, Leng Yue'er didn't have to think about it to know that it must be Shangguan Yi looking for her. I called myself over early this morning, not because I came back too late yesterday and wanted to reprimand myself. Wouldn't it be miserable for me, it should be scary to vent the anger that has accumulated all night.
Leng Yue'er looked at the fact that she was about to arrive at Shangguan Yi's residence, and suddenly became a little timid. Do you want to find an excuse to slip away?
"Miss, it's here."
"Ahh Well. Leng Yue'er looked at the open courtyard door and hesitated.
"Miss, why don't you go in?" The housekeeper saw that Leng Yue'er had no intention of going in for a long time, and reminded him at the exit.
"You're not going in with me?"
"The master said, let the young lady go in alone."
"Okay." Leng Yue'er nodded helplessly. Pinched his ears and walked in. Master, Master, you must bless me. It doesn't seem to work, the master and the mother have already gone to reincarnation, how to protect themselves. Leng Yue'er instantly tingled when she thought of this.
"Miss."
"Uh-huh." The subordinate who came over greeted Leng Yue'er, and Leng Yue'er responded nervously.
Leng Yue'er slowly walked to the door of Shangguan Yi's room, the door was open. Leng Yue'er leaned on the side of the door and poked her head in. His eyes wandered around the room and he found Shangguan Yi writing. Leng Yue'er didn't dare to go in, so she kept that posture and looked at him.
"It's all here, why don't you come in?" Shangguan Yi did not look up. The eyes are always on their desk. Pen in hand.
Leng Yue'er rolled her eyes and walked in with a smile.
"Uncle Shangguan, you called me over this morning, but is there something?" Leng Yue'er walked in front of him and realized that he was painting. Looking at the landscape painting on the table, although she hadn't finished painting yet, Leng Yue'er thought it was very good-looking. Mountains are mountains, and water is water. As for paintings, what she hates most is abstract paintings, because she can't read them at all. When you look at abstract paintings, you will immediately reveal your own IQ.
"Is it pretty?" Shangguan Yi did not stop painting because of Leng Yue'er's arrival.
"Beautiful."
"Can you draw?" Shangguan Yi looked at Leng Yue'er. Leng Yue'er shook her head in embarrassment instantly.
"Then let's learn. I've got a master for you, and I'll start studying tomorrow. Not only do you have to learn to draw, but you also need to be able to play the piano and dance. I've already got you covered, master. ”
"Hmm." Leng Yue'er looked at Shangguan Yi's determined eyes, knowing that even if he didn't agree, he wouldn't change his mind. Nodding helplessly.
"Hmm. Let's go to dinner. Shangguan Yi put down the pen in his hand and walked out.
Leng Yue'er looked at his back and hurriedly followed. Leng Yue'er followed along the way, and she didn't dare to say anything.
When she arrived at the main hall, Leng Yue'er saw that except for the two of them, the others had already come.
"Miss Medusa, you've been in the house for two days, and I really saw you today. Please forgive me for the inconsiderate hospitality. ”
"You're welcome, sir. Hope I didn't bother you. ”
"How could it bother. Thanks to you, Yue'er was able to save her life. Speaking of which, you should still be Yue'er's benefactor. I'm here to thank you. Shangguan Yi stood up and bowed to Medusa.
Medusa also hurriedly stood up. Seeing Shangguan Yi bowing to him, he hurriedly waved his hand. "Yue'er is my friend, and I should do it. I deserve this thank you, after all, I didn't save people. ”
Leng Yue'er sat at the table and looked at this, and then at that. Can these two people have dinner and be so polite again. Leng Yue'er looked at the table of food and no one moved her chopsticks, and she was embarrassed to move. Leng Yue'er, who was sitting at the table, could only swallow her saliva.
"Alright. Sit down and eat. The food is getting cold. ”
"Hmm. Let's eat. I'll talk about something after eating. Leng Yue'er glanced at Liu Xiaohua and hurriedly agreed.
"Oh, yes, yes, yes. Let's hurry up and eat. ”
As soon as Shangguan Yi spoke, Leng Yue'er quickly picked up her chopsticks and ate them. The plan of the day lies in the spring, and the morning meal is very important. Leng Yue'er is very serious about breakfast every time.
"Xiaodong, what happened in the court today?" Although Shangguan Yi resigned from his official position, he was still concerned about the movements of the imperial court at all times.
"No, nothing." Xiaodong glanced at Leng Yue'er. The smile was a little shy.
"It can't have anything to do with Yue'er, right?" Shangguan Yi glanced at Leng Yue'er. It seems unlikely. How could the court discuss a little girl?
"Nope. It has nothing to do with Yue'er. "Shangguan Ruidong didn't know if he wanted to tell Shangguan Yi about the matter in the court.
"Hmm." Shangguan Yi looked at Shangguan Ruidong's somewhat wandering eyes, and was shocked. It can't really have anything to do with Yue'er, right?
Leng Yue'er looked at Shangguan Ruidong like this, and felt a little scared. She remembered that she seemed to beat Nangong Ling yesterday. No, the prime minister, that guy told Murong Jingtian about this.
Leng Yue'er didn't eat very well this meal. I kept thinking about things in my heart, and I couldn't digest the rice in my stomach.
"Yue'er, when you eat, I see you preoccupied. But what happened? Is it Nangong Ling's incident? In the courtyard, Medusa looked at Leng Yue'er's absent-minded appearance and asked with concern.
"It's fine. This matter has Murong Qingli. What I'm most worried about now is that if this matter gets big and Uncle Shangguan finds out, I will definitely die. ”
"What did Master Shangguan tell you to do today?"
"I want to cry right now."
"Miss, why do you want to cry?" The little girl came over with grapes.
"Because of your young lady, I'm going to drive Hexi from tomorrow." Leng Yue'er took a bunch of grapes and ate it.
"Miss, you're talking nonsense again." Ju glanced at Leng Yue'er blamefully.
"Yue'er, what happened?"
"Uncle Shangguan asked me to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting from tomorrow." Leng Yue'er said that she was helpless.
After hearing this, all three laughed. Leng Yue'er glanced at them.
"Hey, let's go."
"Miss, what are you going to do?" The little girl looked at her funny.
"And laughed. Get down to business. Leng Yue'er got up from her chair and walked out.
Ju and the little girl hurriedly followed. Medusa glanced at the rockery in the distance and followed.
"Miss, where are you going?" Just as he was about to leave the house, the voice of the butler sounded behind him. Leng Yue'er frowned slightly. Looking back, a smile on his face. "Uncle housekeeper, I want to go out and buy some rouge gouache."
"Would you like to help the young lady prepare the carriage?"
"No, no. I walked to get some exercise. ”
"Miss go early and come back early."
"Uh-huh. Got it. The smile on his face was gone. Leng Yue'er glanced at the three of them and hurriedly walked outside.
"Miss, where are we going?" The little girl glanced behind her, and she was already far away from the house.
"Go to a good place." Leng Yue'er looked up at the sky. It's very sunny. Looks like it's going to be a good day.
"Ju, every time Miss says a good place, my heart trembles." The little girl whispered to Ju.
"Me too."
"Whew. I hear you. Leng Yue'er glanced back at the two of them. Ju and the little girl were instantly embarrassed. He smiled awkwardly at her. Medusa laughed as well.
Leng Yue'er ignored the three of them and quickened her pace.
The four of them stood in front of the door of the Spring Breeze Pavilion.
"Miss, what are we doing here in broad daylight?" The little girl looked at Leng Yue'er puzzled.
"What can you do. Played, of course. ”
"Daytime?" The corners of Ju's mouth twitched.
"It's just daylight." Leng Yue'er smiled and glanced at Ju. Ju was stunned. Leng Yue'er winked at her again.
"Miss, what's wrong with your eyes?"
"Knock on the door." Leng Yue'er looked at the sky speechlessly.
"Yes."
Ju walked to the door and knocked on it.
"Bang bang bang. Bang bang bang. ”
"Miss, no one responded?" Ju turned her head and looked at Leng Yue'er embarrassedly.
"I'll come." Leng Yue'er rolled up her sleeves and walked over.
Standing in front of the door, Leng Yue'er looked at it for a while and kicked it over.
"Bump." The door, which was already about to corrode, was kicked by Leng Yue'er like this, and it fell directly.
"This door touches porcelain. You can see that I'm just a light touch. Leng Yue'er looked at the fallen door and instantly took several steps back. Pointing to the door and looking at the three of them, he said excitedly.
"Miss, you say something we don't understand." The little girl looked at Leng Yue'er helplessly.
"Who, who demolished the door of our Spring Breeze Pavilion." A hairy boy's voice came from inside.
After a while, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old hairy boy appeared in front of Leng Yue'er. Wrapped in tattered clothes, his hair was quite messy, and his face was not very clean.
"Who are you who actually demolished the door of our Spring Breeze Pavilion." The hairy boy pointed at Leng Yue'er and jumped to his feet.
"Hello. I didn't mean that. I really didn't mean to. Leng Yue'er stretched out her hand to greet him.
"It doesn't matter if you mean it or not. Money. Ping An looked at the girl in front of him who was about the same age as himself, dressed brightly, and the flower beads on her head should be quite expensive. It's about the same big person, but the gap is so big. Ping An looked at Leng Yue'er and felt very unhappy.
"Oh, my old lady. Isn't this going to kill me? "Mom came over and saw the door fall to the ground, sat on the ground and started crying.
"Mom, these four people made it." Ping An pointed at Leng Yue'er with his finger. Leng Yue'er was stunned, she was talking about four, why did she just point at herself.
"You're going to lose money." Mom glanced at Leng Yue'er and the others, got up from the ground, and wiped the tears on her face with her hands, and the powder on her face was almost turned into a paste by her. Leng Yue'er was a little stunned.
Looking at the aunt in front of her, she was dressed in old-fashioned red clothes and looked like a grandmother in her seventies and eighties, and the smell of fat powder on her body made Leng Yue'er choke her nose. Leng Yue'er smelled the smell of fat powder in the air, cheap goods. Otherwise, this face would not have become a grimace. It's not false to say that the grimace is not fake at all, the pale face, coupled with the blood-red mouth, really makes Leng Yue'er's heart tremble.
"Indemnity. Repay. How much do you say? Leng Yue'er said very generously.
"Bring me a hundred taels."
"One hundred taels. You're cheating people. How can a broken door be worth a hundred taels? The little girl looked at her mother angrily. This is clearly slandering.
"You know what. You smashed not only my door, but also the signboard of my Spring Breeze Pavilion. What's wrong with the signboard of my Spring Breeze Pavilion is worth this hundred taels. ”
"You've broken it all like this. Presumably, not many people came. I guess it's not worth the price. Medusa looked coldly at her mother.
Mom looked at Medusa's physique and was a little scared, but she still didn't let go.
"My Spring Breeze Pavilion is a century-old brand. It's not as glorious as you can imagine. ”
"It used to be yesterday's yellow flower."
"You." Medusa's words made her mother so angry that she didn't spurt out a mouthful of old blood.
"Do you want this Spring Breeze Pavilion to return to its former glory?" Leng Yue'er felt that it was time to speak by herself at this time.
"What do you mean?" Mom was stunned.
"Why, you're not going to invite us in."
Mother looked at Leng Yue'er and a few people, except for Ju and Medusa, who looked more stable and mature, Leng Yue'er and the little girl were still a little girl in her eyes.
Looking at her mother's suspicious gaze, the smile on Leng Yue'er's face disappeared. Walked in on his own.
"Hey." Ping'an pointed at Leng Yue'er and was about to stop it, but his mother gave him a look and asked him to put his hand down.
When Leng Yue'er arrived inside, she found that this Spring Breeze Pavilion was not ordinary. Looking at the space inside, as well as the platform in the middle, and the long table placed around the platform, and the big red lantern hanging overhead, Leng Yue'er could imagine its former glory.
"Not bad. It's just a broken point. Leng Yue'er walked over to a table, the table was already covered with a layer of dust, and the table had begun to corrode. It's been a long time since no one has cleaned it.
"Yo, why are there four girls?" An aunt in a red gauze dress with her skin exposed walked downstairs. Leng Yue'er couldn't help frowning. It has to be a lot of flavors to choose her. The powder on his face is two catties thick, and he is wearing such a big flower on his head without fear that his neck will be broken.
"Aunt Qing."
Leng Yue'er was a little stunned when she heard the hairy boy call her Aunt Qing. What are you doing here, playing the Legend of the White Snake? Aunt Qing. Leng Yue'er pursed her lips.
"Sister, your vision is getting worse and worse. These four are okay with everything except for the girl, and the other three can't get on the stage. Aunt Qing pointed to Ju.
Fortunately, there are two more people with me. Leng Yue'er was not angry because of her words. The little girl doesn't have such a good temper.
"What do you say? Why can't my young lady be on the stage? "My young lady is overwhelmed by the country, and even the second prince and the seventh prince have fallen under my young lady's pomegranate skirt. Why can't my young lady be on the stage?
"Miss?" When Tsing Yi heard the little girl say this, she looked at the four of them and pointed at Medusa.
Don't be angry, don't be angry. It's that she doesn't know the goods. Besides, is Medusa really a young lady? The prime minister's daughter, the pearl in the palm of her hand. She wasn't wrong. However, it turns out that his sense of existence is so low. It's so sad.
"This is Miss Medusa, this is my young lady." The little girl pointed to Leng Yue'er beside her.
"She's a young lady?" Aunt Qing was a little unconvinced.
Looking at Aunt Qing's unbelieving eyes, Leng Yue'er heard her heartbreak.
"Yes. She is my young lady. ”
"The young lady of the house?" Aunt Qing didn't let go.
"Shangguan's family." Leng Yue'er looked at Aunt Qing with a smile.
"The young lady was really joking. Although my Aunt Qing said that she didn't often go out of this Spring Breeze Pavilion, she still knew that Shangguan Yi was now the only one left in the Shangguan family in the capital. What kind of young lady is there? Could it be that you are Shangguan Yi's illegitimate child outside. That's not right, this Shangguan Yi is only in his thirties now, and he can't get a child as old as you. ”
"I don't believe it. If you don't believe it, you can go to the Shangguan Mansion to verify. Leng Yue'er pouted and said playfully.
"Yo, I don't have that to spare." Aunt Qing said that she was about to go upstairs with her feet raised.
"Slow."
"What, what's the matter with Miss Shangguan?"
"It's not a big deal, I just want Aunt Qing to call everyone in this Spring Phoenix Pavilion here."
"What does that mean?" Aunt Qing looked at her mother.
"Aunt Qing, you don't know, she wants to buy our Spring Breeze Pavilion."
"We don't sell Chunfeng Pavilion."
"It's up to you to decide whether to sell or not." Leng Yue'er looked at her funny.
"Miss, I really can't sell Chunfeng Pavilion."
"Why?" Leng Yue'er looked at her mother puzzled.
"Because this Spring Breeze Pavilion is our lifeblood."
"It's not so much the root of life as our last refuge. Miss Shangguan can know that the girls in this Spring Breeze Pavilion are not some old girls like me now, or they don't look good. We're here, it's our home, and if it's gone, we're going to die in the wilderness. "Aunt Qing said this to her mother.
"After I bought the Chunfeng Pavilion, if I want to go home or don't want to be here, I will give her a deed of sale plus one hundred taels, and I want to stay for twenty taels a month. And this money is not fixed, if this Spring Breeze Pavilion is profitable, those who stay will have dividends at the end of the year. What do you think? ”
Leng Yue'er looked at the three of them with an indisbelief on their faces. That's what I want.
"What exactly are you doing this for?" Aunt Qing looked at Leng Yue'er puzzled.
"To make money."
"You have also seen this Spring Breeze Pavilion, those who have already lost cannot be defeated again, what kind of money can you make from it?"
"You don't have to worry about this. If I dare to buy it, I will definitely let it live. ”
looked at the confidence on Leng Yue'er's face. Aunt Qing sneered, "Such a big breath from a little girl." ”
"Mom, to sell or not to sell?" Leng Yue'er no longer paid attention to her. Look directly at Mom.
"Will the conditions you just said really come true?"
"It's hard to chase a horse if you say it."
"Good. As long as you can realize what you just said, I will send you this Spring Breeze Pavilion. ”
"Deal."
"Peace to call people."
"Yes."
"Well, not now." Leng Yue'er hurriedly spoke out to stop Ping'an.
"Why, I regret it." Aunt Qing looked at her funny.
"It's not. It's just that I just remembered that I didn't have that many hundred taels. "The space ring is full of gold leaves, what can I do? Leng Yue'er looked at Medusa, and Medusa shook her head.
"Yo, feelings are talking big about that. Go back, little girl, this is not the place for you. ”
"Ju, you and the little girl will go to Murong Qingli to borrow money now. Let's just say that I have an urgent need. ”
"Yes."
"Murong Qingli. The Seven Princes. Aunt Qing couldn't help but be stunned.
The three of them looked at Leng Yue'er at the same time.
"Peace, go move the chair and serve tea." Mom said hurriedly.
"Yes." How could the hairy boy not have a little girl who has a relationship with the Seventh Prince, but she went to the Qinglou to buy here.
Leng Yue'er was a little remorseful at the moment. I regret that I didn't get everything ready and came over recklessly. As a result, in the end, I had to ask Murong Qingli to help. Originally, I wanted to tell him after Qinglou was finished, and give him a surprise. Now there are no surprises.
Medusa and Leng Yue'er waited for a long time, but they didn't wait for Ju and the little girl to come back. Leng Yue'er couldn't help but worry, wouldn't these two get lost. Hey, my own brain, the two of them have just opened the capital, and they are not familiar with this place. It's definitely lost. The money was not borrowed, and people were ashamed. That's more than worth the cost.
"I'll go out and look for them." As soon as Leng Yue'er got up from her chair, she saw Murong Qingli appearing at the door.
"Why are you here?" Leng Yue'er looked at Ju and the little girl. I asked you to borrow money, but I didn't let you pick up people.
"Come and send the money." Murong Qingli took out the money bag from his cuffs.
"Murong Gongzi."
"Hmm." Leng Yue'er felt that Medusa and Murong Qingli were so polite every time they met. Aren't they embarrassed?
"See the Seventh Prince." The three mothers hurriedly knelt on the ground after knowing the identity of the visitor.
"Get up."
"Thank you, Lord Wang."
"Mom, go and call everything here."
"Yes."
After a while, everyone was here. Except for my mother, there are twenty people in total. Two cooks, one running errands, is peace. The rest are women. Four of the seventeen women were already in the grade, and they were all about the same grade as Aunt Qing. The remaining thirteen girls, Leng Yue'er really didn't dare to compliment. This look really can't be put on the stage. It looks like we're going to have to buy people in. It's going to cost money again. Hey, forget it, I can't help the wolf with my child.
"Mom, you tell them the conditions I just said."
"Yes." Mom walked right in front of them. "This young lady wants to buy our Spring Breeze Pavilion, and I have agreed. Mademoiselle has given you a very good condition. If you want to leave, the deed of sale will be given to you and you will be given another 100 taels of living expenses. If you don't want to leave, Miss will give you twenty taels a month. If you run well, there will be rewards. ”
As soon as Mom's words fell, the crowd exploded.
"Are you too bored to think of opening a green building?" Murong Qingli looked at her dotingly.
"It's not." Leng Yue'er shook her head.
"So for what?"
"Because of the money."
"Do you have less money?" Murong Qingli rubbed her head.
"Isn't it strange that there are many people with money. Besides, you can't sit back and eat empty. ”
"I'll make money."
"The two of them earn together, not more." Leng Yue'er looked at what Murong Qingli wanted to say, hurriedly looked at everyone and said, "The one who goes is standing on the left, and the one who doesn't go is standing on the right." ”
The crowd quickly split into two lanes. Leng Yue'er glanced at it, just as she guessed. The ones on the right are all in the grades, and the ones on the left are young. There are ten maidens on the left, and ten on the right. The two cooks did not leave, and neither did Ping'an. Looking at the number of people who stayed, Leng Yue'er was still very happy.
"Go to my mother's to get my deed of sale, and go to him to get the money." Leng Yue'er pointed at Mo Han. The little girl had already glued to it the moment she saw Mo Han.
