Let's say that until the afternoon of the next day, when the Huang Mansion saw that Jin Yuelan still didn't open the door, she felt puzzled, and the subordinates called loudly outside the door, but no one answered. Huang Gongzi knew that things were not good, so he called two subordinates to open the door, and when he went in to see, there was no shadow of Jin Yuelan! The windows were wide open, the cabinets were messy, and all the gold and silver jewelry, which was valuable and soft, was cleaned up by Jin Yuelan.

Huang Gongzi was so angry that he was stunned, there was smoke above his head, he was angry for a while, and he knew that he had no choice but to take two photos of Jin Yuelan, and roughly opened a list of losses, and the preliminary estimate was that it was worth tens of thousands of dollars.

Huang Gongzi went to visit the magistrate of Qiantang County, asked him to step up the pursuit, and asked him to send an official document to Shanghai to track and arrest. He also wrote a letter to Huayang Tongzhi, sent the loss sheet and photos together, and asked Bao Tan to visit carefully. Detective Bao, that is, the detective of the patrol room.

Although he knew that the sea and the sky were wide and it was difficult to seize, he had already done his best, and the Mandate of Heaven could only be resigned.

After Huang Gongzi did all this, he also put it down for the time being and didn't pay attention to it anymore. But after all, it was not a pleasant thing, Huang Gongzi was depressed because of this, so he was lazy at home and did not go out for more than a month. I have repeatedly called people to the county to urge several times, but there is no news.

On this day, an official from Qiantang County came to Huangfu to find Huang Gongzi.

After the official statement, Huang Gongzi only knew that Jin Yuelan was now in Shanghai and was still listed for business.

Since Huang Gongzi sent the photos and loss slips to Shanghai, Weng Yanshou, who knew Huayang Tongzhi, sent two well-known detectives to visit carefully. It didn't take long for the two Bao detectives to be investigated and visited, and they immediately cooperated with the patrol to arrest the house, and the stolen goods of Jin Yuelan were seized and escorted to the court.

The interrogator asked a few words and said, "It's not difficult for me to be here for you, just escort you back to Hangzhou, and wait for your master to send it himself." ”

So Jin Yuelan was transferred to Shanghai County and detained. Shanghai County sent a consultation document to Qiantang County, asking them to send an official to escort Jin Yuelan back to Qiantang County for verification. Qiantang County received the paperwork and hurriedly sent someone to Huangfu to deliver a letter and ask for instructions.

When Huang Gongzi heard this, he hesitated in his heart, and secretly thought: Although Jin Yuelan is hateful, since she has escaped, she will also be unable to recover, if he is still brought to Hangzhou to recover the stolen goods for interrogation, will it not humiliate the lintel of the Prime Minister's Mansion! Besides, she was so affectionate at the beginning, and now, she is alone, so she must not have a good time.

Thinking like this, my heart softened.

After thinking about it secretly and making up his mind, Huang Gongzi said to the messenger: "You go back and restore your wealth." Although this Jin Yuelan is a fugitive concubine in the house, she is publicized and has an indecent reputation. In my opinion, there is no need to deal with the crime of her escape, just not allowing him to do business anymore. Please return a corner of the paperwork, no one has to mention it, ask her to sign a contract that will no longer be a prostitute in the future, and save a file in Shanghai County, if Jin Yuelan sells prostitutes in Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Shanghai again, she will be thoroughly investigated and punished for several crimes. Just do what I say. ”

Qiantang sent a messenger to Nuo Nuo and went back.

Qiantang County sent a dime of official documents to Shanghai County, saved the files, approved the contract issued by Jin Yuelan, and released it on bail, turning a huge lawsuit into a shadow and disappearing.

Who knows that Jin Yuelan's nature is difficult to move, and she does not dare to do business in Shanghai, Suzhou and Hangzhou, I heard that Tianjin is rich and prosperous, and there are many rich bigwigs, Lin Daiyu and Zhang Shuyu have been in Tianjin for less than two years, they are all jewels, rich and powerful, and they are private wealth in their hands, not to mention ten thousand gold, and the clothes and accessories are not counted.

Jin Yuelan thought of Tianjin and defected to Lin Daiyu. They were meant to be good sisters, so there was no reason not to take her in. I packed up the soft stuff I was carrying, took the steamer of China Merchants Xinyu, and arrived at Tianjin Zizhu Forest in a short time.

Stopping the boat and going ashore, I finally asked about the apartment of Lin Daiyu in the east of the Hou family.

Lin Daiyu was pleasantly surprised when she saw Jin Yuelan, so she asked her how to get out? Jin Yuelan explained in detail the circumstances of being taken away and released on bail, and then said that Shanghai could no longer do business, so she went to Tianjin to join her.

Lin Daiyu said happily: "We are short of manpower here, we can't grab business, and we want to go to Shanghai to hire people." However, I don't think there are any people in Shanghai who are good at sex and art, and those who are skilled in communication, so I don't dare to recommend them. Now that you're here, it's a coincidence, and the business must have taken off. Then I will ask the proprietor to prepare a room for you, but you have to pay for the layout of the room, and the furnishings of the two rooms will cost at least four or five hundred yuan, can you still get it? ”

Jin Yuelan said: "Although I don't have much silver in my hand, I have dozens of taels of gold bars, and about two or three thousand yuan, which is expected to be enough, so it doesn't matter." ”

Lin Daiyu was even more happy, and hurriedly called the owner in, explained the reason, and asked her to prepare the room.

The landlady's name is Ah Mao, who is also from Shanghai, originally a peer, born as a maid, and has really some savings recently, so she came to Tianjin to open this Nanban hall. At this time, she heard that Jin Yuelan wanted to charter her room, and seeing that Jin Yuelan was still young and in the limelight, she was also happy, so she agreed to come down.

Jin Yuelan opened the box and took out sixty taels of gold bars to ask Ah Mao to change, and exchanged more than 3,000 yuan. As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, no, in less than two days, Jin Yuelan's room was packed with flowers. That night, Lin Daiyu's regular customer, an alternate surnamed Qian, set up a double stage for her.

Double table, according to modern terms, means that there are two tables of banquets.

Alternate Dao is an official position in the Qing Dynasty, that is, the meaning of alternate official.

Since then, there have been many cars and horses, and there have been endless banquets. For about half a year, in addition to the expenses, there were more than 2,000 clothes and decorations, and more than 3,000 taels of silver, Jin Yuelan was very proud.

Who would have thought that blessings and disasters would not go alone. Just in time for the boxer rebellion, that is, the Boxer Rebellion, the coalition army broke through Tianjin, and Lin Daiyu, Jin Yuelan and others fled south in embarrassment.

Jin Yuelan fled in a hurry, she didn't have time to carry the gold and silver property, she was penniless, and the property she stole from the Huang family was also completely lost.

After arriving in Shanghai for less than two days, the coalition forces entered Kyoto again, and the situation was tense day by day.

Jin Yuelan was like a frightened bird, and she was even more restless, so she had to flee to Suzhou to live temporarily, and then inquire about the news, and happened to live in the Fozhaolou stackhouse with Zhang Qiugu. At this time, Jin Yuelan had nothing except for her clothes and hairpin rings on her head.

On this day, I happened to watch a play and accidentally met Zhang Qiugu.

When Jin Yuelan was in Shanghai in the past, although she knew Zhang Qiugu, first, Zhang Qiugu was too young at that time, and he was still a little boy who didn't open his eyes, Jin Yuelan didn't look at it a little, so she didn't have a deep communication, and she didn't have any impression, and second, she didn't know that Zhang Qiugu had such a heroic ability. At this time, I only felt that Zhang Qiugu was outstanding, and his aura was lofty, and the knife dance was snowing and flying, and he blurted out unconsciously, and shouted: "Okay!" ”

After Zhang Qiugu stepped down, he walked up to Jin Yuelan and took a closer look, only then did he suddenly remember, and smiled at Jin Yuelan: "I look a little like you, but it's a little vague, and I really didn't admit it." We haven't seen each other for two or three years, and I don't know which gust of wind blew you, a red man, to the ground in Suzhou, but I'm afraid of something? ”

It turned out that although Zhang Qiugu knew Jin Yuelan, she didn't know about the part she married Huang Gongzi.

Jin Yuelan came to Suzhou this time, empty-handed, not even the house money and food money, and did not dare to do business anymore, when she was in a dilemma and struggling, she saw Zhang Qiugu, as if she had seen a worldly master who was merciful and compassionate in saving the suffering, and grabbed Zhang Qiugu and said: "Ah! Sure enough, it's Ershao, my affairs are hard to explain, fortunately, I live in the Buddha Zhao Building here, you can go back to my inn and talk about it carefully. ”

Zhang Qiugu was pleasantly surprised: "I also live in Fozhao Building, so I happen to be ruthless, so it's okay to go back to the inn later." As he spoke, he still walked to Hua Yunxiang's table and sat down.

Hua Yunxiang had already seen it, and sneered: "Zhang Dashao, congratulations, I met a confidante again." ”

Zhang Qiugu said: "Don't be suspicious, I knew her when I was in Shanghai before, and I don't have any friendship, you can rest assured." ”

Hua Yunxiang said: "What do I have to worry about, even if it was Zhang Dashao's good friend, what does it matter to me, I am salty and eat radish and worry about it." ”

Zhang Qiugu saw that her face was full of anger and jealousy, so he didn't explain anymore, only smiled and watched the play by himself.

After the performance of "Killing My Sister-in-law" on stage, Xiao Xishun's "Pearl Shirt" came up.

Zhang Qiugu was anxious to go back to the inn with Jin Yuelan and ask Jin Yuelan what the situation was, but because of Hua Yunxiang's presence, it was not easy to do too much.

It just so happened that Hua Yunxiang's maid walked in, holding a few bureau tickets in her hand to urge Hua Yunxiang to go out of the dinner, Zhang Qiugu took advantage of the situation and told her to go, don't delay the business, Hua Yunxiang had to sit down slightly, stood up and said, "Then I'll go, so as not to make people annoy here." ”

Zhang Qiugu didn't pay attention to it, waited until she left, hurriedly walked up to Jin Yuelan, and said in a low voice: "This scene is nothing to watch, let's go back first!" ”

Jin Yuelan understood, nodded, got up and left first. Then Zhang Qiugu came out, and the two returned to the inn.

Zhang Qiugu followed straight to Jin Yuelan's room, and the two sat down before cutting candles and talking.

Jin Yuelan carefully told Zhang Qiugu about the past few years, and when she talked about the suffering of her life, she burst into tears, and Zhang Qiugu also sighed.

Exactly: King Xiang's old dream is in Wuxia, and Zijian's new poem is like Concubine Luo.
