Chapter 348: Before You Go
In the next few days, Xiao Feng was preparing to go to Jiangnan.
Originally, it was actually quite a simple matter, Xiao Feng had Yu Dayou by his side, and he had the personal soldiers of the imperial court for the governor, so safety was not a problem.
But with Princess Chang'an having to follow, this matter suddenly became very complicated.
Princess Chang'an is going to bring a maid, and one of them is obviously not able to serve her. At the beginning, I only brought in paintings in the Xiao Mansion, and that was because there were many women in the Xiao Mansion itself who could help.
Therefore, the maids brought by Chang An are indispensable, but she is picky by nature, and she usually looks down on other palace maids, and she is always dissatisfied.
Jiajing was also worried about his daughter's safety, after all, although there were many guards, there were too few people who could protect him, so he thought of An Qingyue again, and recruited An Qingyue to be the princess's guard again.
An Qingyue was originally preparing for the wedding, because Xiao Feng had officially replied to Mrs. An: Zhang Wuxin's ability is no problem! So Mrs. An helped An Qingyue convince An Sizheng.
The method of persuasion is also very simple, Mrs. An didn't even use a big reason, and simply and rudely told An Sizheng: The second boy born is surnamed An!
Anji was thinking about Xiao Feng's terribleness, then thinking about his daughter's persistence, and then thinking about his future grandson, so he directly gave up the consciousness of resistance and began to check the auspicious days of the zodiac.
Unexpectedly, Jiajing's order disrupted An Qingyue's arrangement. But the holy order was difficult to disobey, An Qingyue had no choice but to pout and receive the decree, and she didn't give her a good face when she went to see Princess Chang'an.
What kind of character is Princess Chang'an, pulling Sister An Qingyue's eldest sister and sister to make a short call, shed a few tears, and coughed twice.
"I have a body and bones, and I don't know if I can come back this time, and I can go out of the capital before I die, so I don't want to come to this world in vain.
It's just sister, I'm afraid that when you and Brother Zhang get married, I won't be able to come to congratulate you. This bracelet is my favorite, so I'll give it to you as a gift, so let's keep it in mind......"
As a result, An Qingyue was still shedding tears until she told Xiao Feng: "Chang An is really good, very pitiful, you must cure her!" ”
Xiao Feng looked at An Qingyue speechlessly, this girl was obviously stunned by the green tea, and she completely forgot about postponing her marriage, and she couldn't wait to set off with Chang An on her back immediately.
Since An Qingyue is going, whether Zhang Wuxin wants to go with her has become a big problem.
Xiao Feng knew that when he arrived in Jiangnan, there would be a big battle, and there would be no shortage of manpower, but if Zhang Wuxin also went, there would be no master in Xiao Mansion.
Zhanyu can't live in Xiao Mansion every day, even if King Yu is willing, Xiao Feng will not allow it. He is now the governor of Jiangnan, with a high and powerful position, and the interaction between him and the prince cannot be biased.
There is another layer of thought, Xiao Feng only secretly instructed Zhanyu: I am not in the capital, you must protect King Yu, and be more attentive than usual.
Zhanyu was shocked: "You mean, will someone do it directly to King Yu?" No, who would dare to do that? ”
No wonder Zhanyu was so surprised, although the forces behind the two princes have been fighting endlessly all these years, they are all political means, and they dare to do it directly against the prince, which is unprecedented!
Xiao Feng shook his head: "I'm not sure, I just have a feeling that this assassination of my Xiao Mansion, thinking about it in hindsight, is a bit hasty."
It stands to reason that both Xiao Qin and Yan Shifan are thoughtful people and should not act in such a hurry. Unless otherwise intended. ”
After thinking about it, Xiao Feng finally hit Zhan Feiyun with his idea, he was different from Zhanyu, and even different from Lao Wang.
The actual status of the head arrester of the Criminal Department is not low, but in the final analysis, it is not an official who has entered the product, or belongs to the level of an official.
Generally, the status and treatment of the county government head is about equivalent to the ninth grade, the government government head is equivalent to the eighth grade, and the head catcher of Shuntian Mansion is half a level higher, which is equivalent to the seventh grade.
The head catchers of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple are half a level higher, equivalent to the level of a seven-rank official. Although it is only equivalent to, it is also recognized by the imperial court, so sometimes there is nothing wrong with calling yourself a "local official".
This is the interesting place, in terms of grade, the old king next door is a six-grade promoter, one level higher than Zhan Feiyun, but in terms of actual influence, Lao Wang may not be as big as Zhan Feiyun.
Anyway, Zhan Feiyun's identity as a head-catcher has no problem living in Xiao Feng's mansion. Unlike Lao Wang, Zhan Feiyun himself lived in a rented house.
Xiao Feng, as the landlord, since he can rent it to Qi Jiguang to live, he can naturally rent it to Zhan Feiyun to live, and no one can say anything wrong with this.
Zhan Feiyun got a free house to live in, and he was also very excited: "Lord Xiao, don't worry, if there are really thieves who dare to come, unless Zhan Mou dies, he will never let everyone in your mansion lose a single hair!" ”
Xiao Feng patted Zhan Feiyun's shoulder, and said earnestly: "Zhan Hunting Head, I have taken Zhang Wuxin and An Qingyue away, and the safety of the family depends on you."
There is another thing I want to ask you, there is a shortage of coaches in the WTO view, only Zhanyu, and you have time to teach more.
Zhang Yunqing and Wang Yingxiang at home both want to learn martial arts, and they originally planned to let Zhang Wuxin teach them, but now they can only work hard for you. ”
Zhan Feiyun scratched his head: "The adults commanded, it was originally incumbent, but the kung fu I practiced was in the Shaolin lineage, but I am afraid that it is not particularly suitable for girls to practice." ”
Xiao Feng smiled: "And Zhanyu, he will also come to teach, and when the time comes, they can learn whoever they like." ”
In order to let Xiao Feng set off with confidence, Lu Yi and Shen Lian took Jinyiwei to carry out a large-scale inspection operation in the whole city, requiring the people of the capital to have a three-year joint guarantee.
The so-called joint guarantee means that you have to have at least two neighbors to prove that you are a good citizen, and you have been a good citizen for three years. If you have a job, the boss of the workplace has to prove that you are a good citizen.
This trick is extremely effective against the displaced people who enter Beijing temporarily, and it is also extremely lethal against people who have not been in hiding for a long time and live in seclusion with special purposes.
In just a few days, three White Lotus Sectists were arrested, and many of them had already fled when they heard the news. In this net, although there are few big fish, there are many dried shrimps.
A large number of snitch thieves who committed crimes, abducted people to shoot flowers, and drug dealers who sold Bliss Pill and its alternative medicines were arrested, and the prisons of various departments almost burst out.
It is not only Jinyiwei and other legal departments that are busy, but Chunyanlou is also busy.
About half of the girls in Baihualou want Chunyanlou to continue to engage in the entertainment industry, which sounds a little incredible, but it is actually full of bitterness.
At this time, it is not like the later generations, laughing at the poor and not laughing at the prostitute. bars, hair salons, under street lamps; Dongguan, Modu, Sanlitun, take your youth to gamble tomorrow, and you can still find an honest person to take over.
Not to mention that Baihualou is also a famous building in Beijing, it is a place where the ordinary Goulan secret door is not so famous, and it is basically impossible for the girls to come out and live a normal life.
can be a rich concubine, it is difficult to be a poor wife, and it is difficult to change careers, unless you sell tofu.
So except for a few girls who still have a home to return to, some of the remaining girls chose to enter the world, support themselves, and live a clean life, and the rest went to Chunyan Tower.
Xiao Feng didn't interfere, but just told Yan Niang that the girls in Baihualou had a hard time before, so let the girls in Chunyanlou let go of all the little things, don't care.
Yan Niang shook the handkerchief; "What's the matter? If you want to be careful, only the servants who sweep the floor and pour water in the building, and make the bed and fold the quilt are careful, for fear of losing their jobs.
Not only did the girls clean their own houses, but they also fought to clean every part of the building, and they cried when I didn't let them do it. ”
Xiao Feng frowned: "Why are you crying?" ”
Yan Niang sighed: "They said that when they were in Baihualou, if the flower slave suddenly didn't let anyone work, this person must have to receive powerful guests at night, and he would have to shed his skin if he didn't die." ”
Xiao Feng closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "Take your time, it's okay to take it slowly, as long as the human heart is not dead, no matter how deep the wound is, there will always be a day when it will heal." ”
Yan Niang nodded, and whispered to Xiao Feng: "Gonggong Chen went to me yesterday and said that there are some eunuchs who don't deal with him, especially those who have a good relationship with the Yan Party, and they are secretly spreading rumors that there is a problem with the account books of the celebrant eunuch." ”
Xiao Feng nodded slowly: "You go and give a message to Gonggong Chen and tell him that it's time." ”
Yan Niang glanced at Xiao Feng in surprise, but she didn't dare to ask anything, nodded silently and retreated, and Xiao Feng stopped her again.
"There are some things that have to be done, I don't know how long it will take, when I am not there, I am worried that you will not be able to keep the ...... by yourself"
Yan Niang's face flushed, and her eyes also turned red: Xiao Gongzi, he really still cares about me, although he hasn't paid much attention to me during this time......
Wait, what do you mean, what is he going to do with me? He also said that he was worried that I wouldn't be able to keep it if he was gone for a long time!
I...... I've already tasted the red lips, what else can I keep? Xiao Gongzi, I think you can't keep it......
The sky was getting dark, and lanterns were hung in front of the Chunyan Tower.
Originally, Yan Niang planned to let the girls of Baihualou rest for a while before going to work, but after listening to the sisters of Chunyanlou introduce the guests here, these girls actually asked for battle.
Because they had heard that the guests here were very polite, and the most rude thing was to slap the girl when she lost her temper.
And Chunyan Lou has a rule: if the girl can still keep smiling at this time, she can win the best service award!
If the girls refuse to be wronged, they can also ask Yan Niang to give up the service, and Yan Niang will never force the girls to continue to work.
Because the girls' enthusiasm for war was high, and there were quite a few excellent conditions, Yan Niang had to rearrange the number of lanterns.
The fire girl was standing on the second floor, munching on melon seeds, and suddenly found that her lantern was not hanging!
The fire girl was on fire, threw down the melon seeds and lay on the railing and shouted downstairs: "Mom, Mom, what's the matter, when the new girl comes, I can't even keep the lantern?" ”
Yan Niang walked up with a smile and pinched her buttocks: "You shout a fart!" I didn't hang your lantern because someone ordered you to go out of the building tonight! ”
Get out of the building! This is a status symbol, and generally only red card girls have this treatment. Because of the takeaway delivery fee, the price will be doubled according to the highest price in the building!
Ordinary people will not order takeout so luxuriously, and the previous record holder for the most takeout in Beijing was Tan Xinren, after all, he is half a boss, and there is a rebate for ordering.
And most of the takeaways he ordered were ordered for others, and although he paid for the money, the delivery address was basically not his home.
As soon as they heard that someone had ordered takeout, several red-card girls came to their senses and gathered around to congratulate the fire girl. The fire girl was also very proud, and stood up to everyone, and left with the old car with her sleeves in high spirits.
The water girl was busy helping Yan Niang hang the lantern and asked Yan Niang.
"Which wronged boss is so rich, the teaching department will be out of the building as soon as the ban is lifted!
And in the past, those who went out of the building looked for the least number of fires, and even when the paintings were there, there were more people than she went out.
It's not that she's not pretty, it's really her set of kung fu that needs to be used, and it's all prepared in her own room, and it's not easy to take it out of the building. ”
Yan Niang replied while busy: "That is not a bad master, and he directly threw down a hundred taels of silver!" The person who ordered is really special, you can't guess! ”
The water girl pursed her lips and smiled: "Mom, don't sell it, let's say, who likes our Huo'er so much, maybe he can redeem himself for Huo'er in the future." ”
Yan Niang sighed: "That's impossible, this person is Tang Ruji, the champion of the current department, but the address he asked to send the painting to is too bad, in the Mule Hutong of Meat Market Street."
You say that you are a dignified champion, how can you live in such a dense place? It seems that this Tang Ruji is not a decent gentleman, hahaha. ”
With a "snap", the lantern fell to the ground, and the Yun girl standing next to her turned pale and grabbed Yan Niang's arm.
"Who are you talking about? Tang Ruji? Where to send to? Meat Market Street? Mule Alley? How many yards are there? Do you know the first yards? Say! ”
Yan Niang was taken aback by Miss Yun, and quickly pulled her hand away: "It hurts so much, what's wrong with you?" The third yard! ”
Miss Yun threw down the lantern, turned around and ran out of the building, Yan Niang chased a step forward, Miss Yun turned around and smiled at Yan Niang reluctantly.
"Mom, I suddenly remembered that I had something to go out, don't hang my lantern today, if I come back soon, it's not too late to hang it again."
After speaking, she didn't wait for Yan Niang to reply, and walked quickly to the shadows, Yan Niang and the water girl ran out of the door of the building, but saw that the shadows were empty, and there was no figure.
The water girl muttered in surprise: "Yun'er usually walks lightly, this is really fast, what is the urgency of her?" ”
A trace of sadness flashed in Yan Niang's eyes, and she looked into the distance stupidly, and after a long time, she took the water girl's hand and slowly walked back to the Chunyan Building.
The cloud girl ran frantically through the alley, her speed was extremely fast, like a cloud fluttering in the dark, light and silent.
She didn't dare to take the main road, only dared to shuttle through the alleys, dodging the soldiers and brocade guards who were patrolling the night, jumping on the wall from time to time to look into the distance, and then jumping down and continuing to run after determining the direction.
At this time, the carriage of Chunyan Building had stopped at the door of the third courtyard, the old car lifted the curtain, and the fire girl was getting off.
There is only one lantern lit at the entrance of the third courtyard, and the courtyard is not small, which looks a little gloomy. The Fire Maiden frowned and raised her hand to knock on the door.
Suddenly, a hand grabbed her arm, and the fire girl was so frightened that she almost screamed, but she was covered by a hand and couldn't make a sound.
The old car thought that someone was going to rob him, so he immediately picked up the wooden stick on the wheel and was about to pick it up, but he was grabbed by the neck by a hand, and his whole body was suddenly weak, and the wooden stick in his hand also hung down.
