Chapter Seventy-Four: Grafting
Three days ago—
In the box on the third floor of Xuanji Tower, the man in the seat was in the prime of life, and the slightly drunk wine on his face still couldn't hide the spring breeze on his face.
Thinking that he had also sent a lot of silver to Zuo Xiang in previous years, but the people who wanted to take refuge in Zuo Xiang in the DPRK were like carp crossing the river, if there was no one to match, Zuo Xiang would not be moved by those small amounts of money at all.
Fortunately, a few days ago, he caught up with Wang Ming'an, the military servant under the command of Zuo Xiang, and was recommended by Zuo Xiang to the emperor to be the supervisor of Jianghuailang.
Just as he was looking forward to a better future, the door of the box was opened, and a woman with a slender figure and an extremely charming face walked in.
"Master Sun, you haven't come to see Mei Niang dance for a long time, didn't you forget Mei Niang?"
Xu Jiaojiao smiled with her eyebrows and eyes, and her charming appearance was natural, which made Sun Mao's heart itch.
He hurriedly explained: "Ouch, Mei Niang, you have wronged me!" This has just been appointed as a prison officer, and he is very busy, isn't this coming to look for you as soon as he is done, you can't annoy me! ”
Xu Jiaojiao looked at him with disgust, with a hint of complaint in her eyes, "What do you say, your daughter and our host are in a big trouble, I thought you were angry and didn't want to come." ”
When Sun Mao heard this, his face suddenly sank.
Thinking that the dead girl asked him to invite Su Jingqian in the name of poetry appreciation, of course he would not refuse, if he can climb the relationship with Su Jingqian, then it is to climb the high branch of Prince Lu, and Su Jingqian has strong financial resources, if his daughter can really have anything with him, then he also has his share in Xuanji Tower? Mo said that he could enjoy the beauty of Xuanjilou casually, and the money alone was enough for him to bribe Zuo Xiang.
Who knew that this dead girl didn't know what kind of wind she smoked, she was so jealous that she beat people on the street, and she also angered Prince Lu. Isn't it just a woman? It is also reasonable for a man like Su Jingqian to have a group of wives and concubines, and he doesn't know how to grasp the opportunity at all, so he is really blind to his intentions for a month and a half!
He was still worried in his heart for a long time, for fear that Prince Lu would blame him. Fortunately, Su Jingqian was generous, didn't care, and said good things for him to Prince Lu, which calmed down the matter.
Sun Mao thought about it, a smile appeared on his face, and he unconsciously slowed down his voice, "How can I be angry with you, it's that dead girl who doesn't know how to measure, don't worry, I have already arranged a marriage for her, and I will marry after the New Year, and I won't harass Su Gongzi anymore." It's just that I haven't seen Su Gongzi recently, so I have to trouble Mei Niang to apologize to Su Gongzi for me. ”
Xu Jiaojiao smiled coquettishly and walked around Sun Mao's back, gently put her slender jade hand on his shoulder, blew in his ear, and said softly: "Lord Sun wants me to pass the word, so what good will I have?" ”
Sun Mao suddenly straightened up and looked at the jade hand on his shoulder in flattery. He knew that top brands like Mei Niang and Le Yao would never get close to men, and they would leave straight away after performing on weekdays, and they wouldn't even accompany the wine.
Could it be that Mei Niang learned that she was promoted and had the backer of Zuo Xiang and wanted to commit to him? Did she say that the benefit would be for him to redeem her in the future?
Sun Mao was in a state of turmoil, when he heard Xu Jiaojiao's soft voice ringing in his ears: "My lord, I heard that the supervisor has a token, Mei Niang has never seen the token of the prisoner, I wonder if I will be lucky enough to see it today?" ”
Sun Mao's expression was abrupt, and he got up suddenly, letting Xu Jiaojiao's hand that was moving towards his body fall into the air, he turned his back to her, and vigilantly touched the placket on his chest, and then said: "The prison order is a gift from the Holy Lord, how can you watch it at will?" Besides, I didn't take it with me when I went out today. ”
Xu Jiaojiao was not half annoyed by his sudden indifferent attitude, but smiled charmingly, walked up to him and coaxed: "Mei Niang just said it casually, look at you in a hurry." Mei Niang is just a helpless little woman, look at what that thing is doing, just to see if there is Mei Niang in the hearts of adults. She took out a handkerchief and wiped it in the corner of her eye, choked up, "In the end, Mei Niang just doesn't want to live alone in this green building for the rest of her life." ”
Sun Mao's heart moved, it turned out that he was testing his heart for her, women are really the same, and they always like to test men's minds. Thinking about it again, did she really like herself?
He looked at her quietly, without speaking, trying to see if what she said was true or false.
Seeing that his expression softened, Xu Jiaojiao glanced at him with shame, a touch of crimson appeared on her cheeks, she bit her lip, and then said softly: "If the adult really likes Mei Niang, then ...... Then let's not leave tonight. ”
Who can stand this delicate beauty hinting like this? Sun Mao was overjoyed, hugged the beautiful woman in front of him, and asked eagerly, "Are you really willing to commit yourself to me?" ”
The beauty in her arms nodded shyly, then gently pushed him away, don't look over, "Don't worry, it's a long night, I'll go change into dance clothes first, and then let the kitchen prepare some good wine and food, and you can drink and eat while watching me dance, okay?" ”
Knowing that she was shy and wanted to prepare, Sun Mao nodded with a happy face, "Okay, go and go back quickly." ”
Xu Jiaojiao closed the door, the smile on her face disappeared instantly, and a trace of disgust appeared in her eyes, she gave the little maid at the door a look and walked towards the fourth floor.
Xu Jiaojiao saluted Su Jingqian, "Childe, the token is on him." ”
"Hmm." Su Jingqian closed his eyes, leaned lazily on the soft couch, his eyelids didn't move, and asked Ziheng who was standing aside, "How have you learned?" ”
A slight smile appeared on Ziheng Qingjun's face, containing a confident determination: "Back to the master, after a month and a half, there are nine times out of ten." ”
"Very good." Su Jingqian slowly opened his eyes, there was still a tiredness that had not yet dissipated under his eyes, there was an indescribable lazy charm, but his voice was so indifferent that there was no trace of emotion, "Do it." ”
……
In the early morning of the next day, there was an intermittent knock on the door of a guest room in Xuanji Tower.
The knock on the door was accompanied by a soft call.
"Your Excellency, your Excellency."
A middle-aged man on the bed was waking up from a dream with a woman with a warm nephrite jade, and the man frowned unhappily when he heard the sound and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Madame heard that you stayed in Xuanji Tower last night and lost your temper, and the young master and young lady specially sent the little one to find you back home."
In the slightly open and closed crack of the door, the servant saw the man sitting on the bed and wearing his underwear, the incense was curling in the door, the red silk tent was warm, and the clothes of the man and the woman were scattered all over the ground.
"Got it, I'll go back right away." The man quickly put on his clothes, took the prison order on the table into his arms, and strode out the door.
The woman on the bed slowly opened her eyes, her eyes were like silk, and the corners of her mouth were hooked with a smile.
The little guy who came to look for him didn't see a corner of the room, and there was a corpse lying on the ground.
