Chapter 186: The Storm Strikes
Zhu Yuanfeng's house is located near Panlou Street, which is a large mansion covering an area of more than ten acres, with many servants in the house, and all kinds of facilities are extremely luxurious.
Although Zhu Yuanfeng is the third of the three Zhu brothers, he is actually a concubine, his biological mother is a concubine, and he died early, when Zhu Yuanfeng was only seven or eight years old, he was raised by Mrs. Zhengfang and regarded it as his own.
It is precisely because he is a concubine that his status in the Zhu family is not high.
In terms of title, he is only an earl, far inferior to the eldest brother's Wujiang County Duke.
In terms of official position, he only had to be a regimental training envoy from the fifth rank of the false post, with a name, a mere twenty taels of silver per month, and nothing else, far from being comparable with the second brother's deputy envoy to the Privy Council.
However, Zhu Yuanfeng inherited the business of the Zhu family, and under his careful care for decades, Zhu Yuanfeng earned more and more wealth, which can be called a rich country.
Zhu Yuanfeng's wine has woken up, he is trying to distill perfume in the study, he has tried more than a dozen times and failed, but he still found a trick, the key is to seal it well, and not let the aroma escape from the cracks.
At this time, a housekeeper came to report, "Master, Miss Pei is here!" ”
"Juppe is here!"
Zhu Yuanfeng said to himself and smiled: "Could it be that she failed on a blind date and came to comfort the third grandfather?" ”
The housekeeper said cautiously: "Master, it seems that she has moved here and brought a lot of luggage." ”
At this time, there were footsteps outside, and I only heard Zhu Pei huffing angrily: "Third Grandfather, if you bully me too, I will go back to Wujiang!" ”
"Auntie, who dares to bully you!"
Zhu Yuanfeng came out and said with a smile: "Are you dissatisfied with the little officials of the Liu family?" ”
"Don't mention it!"
Zhu Pei said with a belly: "Mother said to me last night, take me to pay New Year's greetings to my seniors in the morning, okay!" I went with them, and in the end I found out that they were taking me on a blind date, so why hide it from me?
I left early in a rage, and my second grandfather angrily scolded me for offending the Liu family, in his eyes, I am afraid that I am a tool used to make peace, my dignity, my will is not important, as long as I curry favor with the Liu family. ”
"You sharp-toothed little girl, it is estimated that your second grandfather will be angry with you today!"
"He found it himself, I didn't scold him, I just fought with reason, he couldn't fight with me, so I left."
After talking to the third grandfather, Zhu Pei felt a lot better.
At this time, she sniffed her nose and asked strangely, "Third Grandfather, why is it so fragrant in the yard?" ”
"Fanning taught me how to refine perfume at noon today, and I've been experimenting?"
"The third grandfather and Fanning are together?"
"Something happened to this kid, I'm going to help him solve it, he was looking for you for help, but you weren't there, and you happened to meet me."
Ju Pei was a little anxious, "The third grandfather is about to tell me, what happened to him?" ”
"Actually, it wasn't him who had an accident, it was Brother Su who had an accident."
Zhu Yuanfeng went to the brothel to ransom Cheng Ze with Fan Ning and Su Liang, but unexpectedly met the Ministry of Rites to investigate, Su Liang was taken away by the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and Fan Ning came to ask for help and said it.
Zhu Pei was slightly relieved when she heard that it wasn't Fan Ning who had an accident, and she frowned and asked, "Does the third grandfather have a relationship with Kaifeng Mansion?" ”
"This kind of thing can just find the people below them, give the benefits of dozens of taels of silver, they secretly let one go, and the above doesn't know at all."
"And then?" Juppé asked again.
Zhu Yuanfeng smiled and said: "Then we drank at noon, I told Fan Ning, you went on a blind date, Fan Ning's face is ugly!" Ha ha! It's really fun. ”
"You-"
Zhu Pei was so anxious that he stomped his foot, "Don't talk nonsense, where am I going on a blind date?" ”
"I've already said it, I'll explain it to him next time!"
Zhu Yuanfeng waved his hand, "You find a place to live by yourself, I still have to do the test, so I don't care about you." ”
After speaking, Zhu Yuanfeng returned to the study.
Zhu Pei looked at the sky, it was still afternoon, and she said to Jian Meizi: "Sister Jian, let's go out." ”
She hurriedly left with Jian Meizi, Zhu Yuanfeng came out, and said with a smile: "Little girl, it's exposed now!" ”
........
Fanning woke up, it was almost dusk, he came to the well and washed his face, and his chaotic mind suddenly cleared up a lot, and Fanning found that there were five or six bags of charcoal under the wall by the well.
Fan Ning was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly shouted: "Big birthday!" ”
After a while, Li Dashou ran over, "Senior brother woke up?" ”
Fanning pointed to the charcoal in the corner, "What's going on?" ”
"The old man sent it in the morning, the senior brother is still sleeping, I don't want it, he has to stay."
Li Dashou took out a note from his arms, "This is the address he left, inviting his senior brother to sit at his house during the New Year." ”
Fan Ning took the note and looked at it, it was in Liujia Village, not far from Xicheng.
"This amount of charcoal is worth at least two dollars, and we have to pay him back."
"I'm for it!" Li Dashou raised his hand and smiled.
Seeing that he was in good spirits, Fan Ning smiled and said, "Then you divide the charcoal and let everyone use it openly, and you can't use it when you sleep at night." ”
"Senior brother, don't worry!"
At this time, Su Liang walked out of the room, "Fanning, I'll talk to you about something!" ”
"What do you say?"
Su Liang pulled Fan Ning aside and said in a low voice: "Cheng Ze said to me, he is very sorry for you, he wants to move out." ”
Fan Ning sneered in his heart, this Cheng Ze is very 'sincere'! wanted to move out and live, but didn't tell himself, but told Su Liang that he knew that Su Liang would not let him go.
"And what do you say?"
"I told him, you are not angry with him, let him not be too careful, live in peace, and now the inn outside is very difficult to find, as far as I know, the inn in the city is full, two or three people are crowded into a room, and he takes his sister again, where is he going to live?"
Su Liang saw that Fan Ning didn't say anything, and said: "This matter has nothing to do with Yuanyuan, I don't want her to be implicated!" ”
Fanning nodded, "I don't object to you if you want to keep him, but I want to tell you that he has actually been removed from the provincial test, to put it mildly, he can go home now, the reason why he refuses to return to his hometown." I'm afraid it still has something to do with you. ”
Su Liang was silent for a moment and said in a low voice: "I understand!" ”
Fanning patted him on the shoulder, "I won't ask about this matter, it's up to you to decide, and in the next few days, we will go all out to prepare for the imperial examination." ”
Fan Ning turned around to leave, and Li Dashou's voice came from outside, "Senior brother, Zhu Pei is here!" ”
This sentence suddenly made a heavy boulder in Fan Ning's heart suddenly moved, and his heart instantly became extremely comfortable, and he hurriedly greeted it.
I saw Zhu Pei standing at the door and said with a smile: "I'll tell you, I've moved, moved to the third grandfather's side, if you have anything, you can go over there to find me." ”
Fanning smiled: "It just so happens that I'm hungry too, let's go!" I'll invite you to dinner. ”
...........
At dusk, an official rode in front of Zhang Yaozuo's mansion, the official turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and said to the porter: "Please report to the abbot quickly, just say that Liu Jin, the young man of Kaifeng Mansion, has urgent matters to see!" ”
The porter quickly rushed away, and after a while, Zhang Yaozuo's nephew Zhang Qun went out and said, "My uncle invited Liu Shaoyin to the study to talk!" ”
Liu Jin followed Zhang Qun to the mansion, and soon came to Zhang Yaozuo's outer study.
Liu Jin is recommended by Zhang Yaozuo and is Zhang Yaozuo's confidant, and he is qualified to enter Zhang Yaozuo's outer study.
When he came to the door of the outer study, Zhang Qun bowed and said, "Second uncle, Liu Shaoyin is here!" ”
"Please come in!"
Zhang Qun turned around and smiled: "Liu Shaoyin, please!" ”
Liu Jin tidied up his clothes and hat, and then walked into the study quickly with his shirt, Zhang Yaozuo was standing in front of the window drinking tea and enjoying the snow, Liu Jin hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and said: "Look down and see the country!" ”
"Liu Shaoyin, what's the urgency to find me?"
"Returning to the country, it means that the country is going to look for Fanning, and there is news of him."
"Found his address?"
"It's not just as easy as finding an address? He committed a crime. ”
Zhang Yaozuo suddenly became interested, turned around and smiled: "Tell me, what did he do?" ”
"Back to the country, he is a prostitute!"
Zhang Yaozuo was stunned, and laughed for a while: "Liu Shaoyin is joking!" He's thirteen years old at most, and he's so hard at that? ”
"That's true, don't dare to talk nonsense!"
"Tell me, what's going on?"
"That's right, early this morning, the Ministry of Rites and the Kaifeng Prefecture jointly arrested the prostitutes, and as a result, more than 170 people were arrested......"
"Could it be that Fanning is among them?"
"It's not! One of the scholars was named Xu Ji, and in order to reduce his guilt, he revealed that Fanning was also in the brothel, but he changed the clothes of the little guy and escaped, and he went to the brothel and found the little guy who changed his clothes, and confirmed that it was indeed the case, and he promised to testify against Fanning. ”
Zhang Yaozuo laughed, this is a nowhere to find the iron shoes, it takes no effort to get it, Fanning finally fell into his hands.
