Chapter 58
Shen Yuzhou took a body of flying dust and returned to the other garden overnight.
When he was approaching the ugly, the dew in the mountains was heavy, and a few drops of dew from the branches fell on the tips of his hair.
The vigil was lazy, sitting on the stone platform against the door and dozing, awakened by the sound of horses' hooves, and was about to inquire, but after seeing the comer, a spirited spirit hurriedly got up and saluted.
Handing the reins in his hand to the doorman who was keeping vigil, Shen Yuzhou walked straight towards the main courtyard.
The lights in the main courtyard had all been turned off, and he stood in the courtyard for a while, and suddenly went to break a branch of jasmine that was quietly blooming in the courtyard.
Stepping on the three or five steps in front of the door, Shen Yuzhou raised his hand and pinned the jasmine to the door frame.
Staring at the door for a while, he chuckled and mocked himself in his heart: but he hadn't seen her for a day, and he thought of her so much, knowing that she should be asleep at this hour, he still had to come to the door to take a look.
Slowly turned around and walked into his yard, and before he had taken two steps, he heard the door creak open behind him.
"Are you ready to go?" Xiao Yunjiao picked up Jasmine who fell to the ground, and stood by the door with a smile and looked at him.
Shen Yuzhou trotted back and whispered, "Why haven't you slept yet?" ”
Xiao Yunjiao brought the jasmine to the tip of her nose and sniffed, "There are mosquitoes in the house, I can't sleep." ”
"Really?" Shen Yuzhou glanced behind her, and the incense burner in the room was burning with light smoke used to repel mosquitoes.
"Do you want me to help you catch mosquitoes?"
Xiao Yunjiao smiled sweetly and didn't say yes or no, the hand that didn't take the flower pulled Shen Yuzhou's sleeve and turned around and entered the house.
"Did you go out today?" She blew the fire and lit the lamp, and sat down on the round stool next to the incense table.
Shen Yuzhou sat down opposite her, "Are you asking me, or are you asking about things?" ”
Xiao Yunjiao tilted his head to look at him, "Of course it's a matter of asking, you're all in front of me, what else is there to ask?" ”
"Alas......" Shen Yuzhou sighed lightly, "If you know that the princess doesn't care so much, she won't have to travel from Mojia Village under the starry night." ”
Xiao Yunjiao couldn't help laughing, "Brother Xingyuan, why is he so angry. ”
"I haven't seen my sweetheart for a day, and I rushed back overnight, and she didn't care about me first, shouldn't I be a little resentful." Shen Yuzhou raised his eyebrows and turned his face sideways.
Xiao Yunjiao smiled and stretched out his hand to push the face that came over a little farther, "I'm asking you how you are, is it okay to go out today?" ”
Shen Yuzhou didn't bother her anymore, "I went to Mojia Village with Congshan and them, looked at Wu Chou and Wu Wu's two children, and chatted with their grandfather for a long time, and knew some old things. ”
Xiao Yunjiao poured him a cup of tea - she hadn't slept all the time, this tea was still newly added by the primrose before Shen Yuzhou came back, and she just drove people to sleep and heard the movement at the door when she turned off the lights.
Shen Yuzhou took it and took a sip, "The old man in Mojia Village said that after Mo Runiang was sold to Jiazhou City by his father, someone in their village saw her come back once. ”
"Looks like the person who bought her is nice to her?" Xiao Yun said.
"That's good." Shen Yuzhou said, "He said that Ru Niang wore silk and satin on the day she returned to the village, and there were servants who drove to serve, and he left her father a lot of money." ”
"In this way, this Ru Niang is still very filial, and she doesn't hold a grudge when she is sold by her father, and she still wants to give him money." Xiao Yunjiao tugged at his sleeve, rubbing a corner of it.
Shen Yuzhou let her play, but retorted: "She is not a filial daughter. ”
He added: "Ru Niang left a lot of silver money, and there are two silver tickets. Her father was a good gambler, and he gambled with the money, and he quickly lost it all. It's a pity that the silver ticket turned out to be fake, and she couldn't redeem the silver, and her father was beaten and injured by the people in the gambling house, and there was no one to take care of him, so he soon died at home. ”
"It's a vicious ploy." Xiao Yunjiao's brows furrowed, "But it's also her father who is unkind first, and she can't complain about others." ”
"Just now you said, Mo Runiang has a good life after being sold, so do the people of Mojia Village know who bought her?" She asked.
Shen Yuzhou said: "Yunxiang Building." ”
Qinglou.
Xiao Yunjiao suddenly let go of his sleeve and said unhappily, "You went?" ”
"Go." Shen Yuzhou leaned over, "It's really a gentle township that leans on the red and green." ”
Xiao Yunjiao stepped back, raised her chin and looked at him, "Then you should spend the night inside, why did you rush back in the middle of the night?" ”
Shen Yuzhou reached out and pinched her chin, "Naturally, it's because the girls there aren't good-looking." ”
Slapping his hand away, Xiao Yunjiao took the teacup a little farther away, "Let's get down to business." ”
Shen Yuzhou couldn't help but smile when he saw her awkward appearance, "Didn't go...... I inquired outside, Yunxianglou used to have a Ru Niang, who did enough gimmicks, but was ransomed on the first day of the sign. ”
"Ransomed by whom?" Xiao Yunjiao added water to the teacup and put it back.
"I don't know, but later there was an additional Feng family in the city, and the daughter was also called Ru Niang." Shen Yuzhou said.
"Didn't anyone recognize her?" Xiao Yunjiao was puzzled, in the same Jiazhou City, the former top brand Ru Niang became the daughter of the Feng family, and she also sold the rented house to Yaxing, which did not attract the discussion of the people?
Shen Yuzhou said: "The Feng family doesn't often deal with people, the house they rent is far away from Huajie, Ru Niang is very regular in the Feng family, she doesn't often go out except for going to the temple outside the city to make incense, and naturally no one will associate her with the top brand of the Qinglou." ”
"But one of the people who ransomed her life must know."
"You mean...... The old bustard of Yunxiang Building. Xiao Yunjiao said.
……
Shen Yuzhou returned to Jiazhou City with a team of people with great fanfare.
Zhao Wu seemed to live at the gate of the city, and walked over to greet Shen Yuzhou with a pair of flattery.
"Xiaguan greets Marquis Shen."
Shen Yuzhou stepped forward, "Lord Zhao, today is leisurely." ”
Zhao Wu smiled, "Marquis Shen is safe and sound, it is more important than anything, and the lower officials naturally want to come to greet him in person." ”
A slender jade hand stretched out from the soft sedan car behind him, "Master Hou, why don't you leave." ”
Zhao Wu watched Shen Yuzhou turn over and dismount, walked to the side of the sedan chair and personally helped the person down, and walked forward with the beauty. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he couldn't believe that the "Mrs. Luan" standing in front of him was the eldest princess of the dynasty.
But the eldest princess didn't say anything, so he could only continue to accompany the performance, Zhao Wu smiled and said hello, "I've seen Madame." ”
Xiao Yunjiao glanced at him and snorted and leaned beside Shen Yuzhou, "Hou Ye~ This prefect is too hateful, not only are there mountain bandits making trouble under his rule, but also assassins assassinate Hou Ye, it is really hateful, Hou Ye wants to punish him~"
Before Shen Yuzhou could say anything, Zhao Wu knelt down with a plop, "Hou Ye Mingjian, the assassin has already sent someone to kill him, and the mountain bandits are not infested in the Jiazhou territory, and the lower officials are wronged." ”
"Okay, okay, Lord Zhao, as the prefect, what kind of system do you kneel at the gate of this city, Luan Niang is just a little afraid of the disaster, Ben Hou will naturally appease her, Lord Zhao get up."
The master beside Zhao Wu also came over to help, "Yes, my lord, get up quickly." ”
Zhao Wucai got up with Master Liu's strength.
Master Liu helped the person up and said to Shen Yuzhou: "Master Hou doesn't know, my family knows about the assassination of Master Hou and his wife, and he has been thinking all day long, and he personally took people to search the mountain. Sou Shan did not succeed in personally entering the cell to torture the two assassins, which can be described as doing his best......"
"Okay," Shen Yuzhou interrupted him, "Ben Hou is tired and doesn't want to listen to this, why should you go?" ”
Then he took Xiao Yunjiao and got on the horse together, and the two of them rode to the city with a clamp on the horse's belly.
After many days, Jiazhou City is as prosperous as before, and the shops and pedestrians on the street are still as usual. Shen Yuzhou took Xiao Yunjiao to ride around and stopped at the door of Yunxiang Building.
"Shall we just go straight to it?" Xiao Yunjiao sat on the horse and turned his head to ask him.
In this Jiazhou City, Zhao Wu is obviously suspicious, and the people who are hiding in the dark don't know where they are, they will definitely be monitored.
Shen Yuzhou hugged her down, "Naturally we can't go like this, let's go to the Qingyin Fang opposite to listen to the music first." ”
The places of wind and moon in Jiazhou City are all on this street, such as the music fang dance workshop, the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, the gambling house and the wine shop...... Everything that has to do with having fun is in one place.
"Listen to music today, watch the dance tomorrow, and listen to the drama the day after tomorrow......" Shen Yuzhou arranged this street all over again, "We will not die in a big disaster, we must have some fun and suppress the shock." ”
When he said this, he really did it, and he took Xiao Yunjiao to the flower street for three days in a row.
Zhao Wu sneered after hearing the reply of the person sent to follow, "This eldest princess is really worthy of her reputation. ”
"This assassination failed, the master is so angry, you are still laughing at her here." Master Liu stood aside and sneered, "Fortunately, the assassin's clues were cleaned up and no one noticed, otherwise you, the prefect, would have come to an end." ”
Zhao Wu slapped the table, "Don't forget, the master sent you to help me, if I can't get out, don't think about getting out!" ”
Master Liu raised his head, "I don't have the time to tell you this, the goods to be shipped to the capital should be ready, hurry up and think about how to send them out, Ru Niang has already completely taken Qian Wenbin's side." ”
"It's not that you don't know that the ones who delivered the goods before were surnamed Feng, and they were just wiped out as mountain bandits, this Shen Yuzhou is staying here, where can I find the right person?" Zhao Wu said with a bitter face.
"I don't care about this, you state governor hurry up and find a way." Master Liu sat down on a square chair and added, "But I can remind you that the disappearance cases in various towns and counties have already aroused Shen Yuzhou's attention, and the old methods cannot be easily used again. ”
……
Yunxiang Building.
Shen Yuzhou was dressed in a loose silk robe, wearing a golden jade crown, holding a folding fan, looking like a gentleman, holding the soft and boneless Xiao Yunjiao and was about to go to Yunxiang Building.
"Alas...... This master~" The woman with heavy makeup at the door stopped him and shook her handkerchief, "Let's ...... There's no rule for bringing your own girl. ”
Shen Yuzhou took out the silver ticket and shook it in front of her, "There is no such rule. ”
The woman's face immediately changed, and she smiled flatteringly: "Look at what you said, the rules you said are the rules, please inside~"
Shen Yuzhou gave her the silver ticket, "This son brought the concubine in the house to see the world, and went to find your mother." ”
The woman took the money and nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, Childe ~ The slave family understands ~ You come with me ~"
Xiao Yunjiao followed into Yunxiang Building. She slowly raised her head from Shen Yuzhou's arms, and in an instant, she had a full view of the layout of Yunxiang Building.
In the center is a screen of eight blessings, on which are painted eight beautiful ladies with different postures, there is a square platform in front of the screen, and some bonsai decorations are placed around it, which is supposed to be used for performances. Behind the screen is a red-carpeted staircase that leads up to the wings on the second and third floors.
Looking up again, you can see a large piece of red gauze and green vines hanging on the roof of the building, with a lot of lanterns and sachets hanging on it, and some beautiful women are painted.
You can see at a glance what kind of place this is.
