Chapter 16 Exploring the Tea House at Night
"Xianggong?!"
The husband's scream was so terrible, Zhao Qianrou exclaimed in surprise, and rushed to the front in a hurry.
I saw that Lu Wenjing's face was pale, cold sweat was like rain, as if he had been greatly hurt, and the maid Lanying stepped aside, looked at him with a puzzled face, and frowned and stared at his hand, a little overwhelmed.
"Oh oh..." Lu Wenjing's voice changed, and he could remember this kind of flying pain for a lifetime.
"Ying'er, where are you pressing inappropriately?" Zhao Qianrou blamed her face, helped her husband up, and sat down slowly.
"I... I didn't use too much force..."
Lan Ying is not deeply involved in the world, and he still looks innocent, and the secret path only wants to take revenge a little, how can Cheng think that he is so weak?
Zhao Qianrou glared at her, "Don't rely on some fists and feet, and you don't know the depths, and you hurt your father-in-law..."
Fist and foot kung fu?
Hearing this, Lu Wenjing was shocked, it turns out that this little girl knows martial arts?
No wonder she has such a big hand, and she almost abolished the master, so she won't dare to provoke her easily in the future...
"How are you doing it? The concubine will check it for you to see if it has been pinched to any extent? ”
Zhao Qianrou was just about to check, but Lu Wenjing hurriedly waved his hand to stop:
"No, no, no... It's good to slow down a little, I was careless just now, don't blame Ying'er. ”
"Are you really okay?"
"It's okay, I'm fine... Uh..."
Lu Wenjing finally recovered, and as soon as he raised his leg, there was a faint pain under his body.
At this time, Steward Liu heard movement in the inner room, thinking that the young grandmother and Steward Lan were there, and it was inconvenient to break in, so he only said in front of the door of the outer hall:
"What trouble did the young master have?"
Lu Wenjing responded:
"It's nothing, Uncle Liu don't worry, you wait a while, I'll go out."
Zhao Qianrou showed a melancholy look:
"Let Ying'er help Xianggong, so as not to accidentally hurt your muscles and bones..."
Lan Ying felt ashamed in her heart, and was about to step forward to help, but she was so frightened that Lu Wenjing's face turned green, and he waved his hand away:
"Don't be, young master, I can go by myself."
"Be careful..."
Lu Wenjing smiled bitterly and nodded, and moved his legs apart step by step to the outer hall, looking quite funny.
When I opened the door, I saw Liu Si, and I couldn't wait to ask:
"What, the Jiao family has taken action?"
"The young master is clever, the people sent by the old slave have found out that there is a group of ruffians who have close contacts with Jiao Huangzhong, and they want to act tonight, and the target is the money village in our old street..."
"I know..."Lu Wenjing was a little excited, "Most of those ruffians are planning to take advantage of the fire to rob, so that they can not only complete Young Master Jiao's task, but also take advantage of it by the way." ”
"The old slave has been ambushed in advance, and when the time comes, he will get all the stolen goods." Liu Si's eyes lit up.
"There are still hours left when the time comes... So I'll go with you. ”
"It's... Don't go, young master, in case there is a mistake or something, the old slave can't explain to the master. ”
"I must go, Uncle Liu don't persuade me again."
Despite Liu Si's embarrassment, Lu Wenjing still refused to let go of the opportunity to join in the fun, in his opinion, the previous preparations were for the last moment to close the net, and he couldn't miss it.
"In that case, can the young master wait in the teahouse opposite the money village? The people arranged by the old slave are in ambush in the money bank, and you can see the truth when the time comes..."
"Everything is up to Uncle Liu's arrangement, let's leave now, and go out for a supper by the way."
After making up his mind, Lu Wenjing turned to tell his wife that he would have some entertainment tonight and go back to the house later, and then went out of the East Courtyard with Liu Si.
After Xianggong left, Zhao Qianrou felt that something was wrong.
In the big night, where is Jinglang going to socialize?
Although it is inconvenient for women to ask about men's affairs, it is natural to have some minds, especially for newlywed women, who are even more sensitive.
Less than a cup of tea after leaving Xianggong, Zhao Qianrou was a little absent-minded, and the needlework in her hand slowed down.
The maid Lanying saw that the young lady seemed to have something on her mind, and asked:
"Miss, are you thinking about the young master?"
Zhao Qianrou's face flushed, "What's the matter, don't guess..."
"I heard that the young masters of rich families spend all their time drinking, the Lu family is not an ordinary rich family, the young master will not go..."
"Jinglang will never be!"
Zhao Qianrou was slightly stunned, interrupted her words, and her tone was categorical.
In her heart, Xianggong is not the kind of casual person, and no one can be allowed to slander his image.
Lan Ying was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said:
"The young master is not that kind of person, but the people who can't be guaranteed to entertain tonight are not pure-minded, so they insist that the young master accompany him... What kind of place to go? ”
Zhao Qianrou listened to this, and her expression was a little gloomy.
Lan Ying is right, the Lu family is a family of businessmen, and drinking and socializing are indispensable, and the husband is the son of the Lu family, so he is likely to be "entertained".
There are many Fengyue places in Jingshi, just Goolan, there are seven or eight famous places, plus private music workshops and government-run teaching workshops, there are more choices.
Thinking that Xianggong was likely to be brought into these unbearable places, Zhao Qianrou's heart was sour, it was not a taste, and she couldn't help but sigh.
"If the young master doesn't return for a long time, it's probably something." Lan Ying stepped forward and said, "Why don't we wait, if we don't see the young master when we get to the time, Lan Ying is willing to investigate..."
"It's... That's not right. If Xianggong found out, he would definitely be angry with me. ”
"It's been a few days since Miss married into the Lu family, and if the young master really can't stand the temptation, it proves that he is essentially a hypocrite who only knows how to coax Miss with some sweet words."
Zhao Qianrou clenched her hands, "Jinglang is not a hypocrite, I can feel that he has his own principles of life." ”
"Hmph, whether he is a big husband or a hypocrite, you have to see is believing." Lan Ying said deliberately.
Zhao Qianrou was provoked by this, and she was also a little stronger, "Since you are willing to investigate, it's better to go." ”
"Miss Xie..."
Lan Ying smiled and thanked him, secretly thinking that this time it would be good to beat the young master back to his original form, and the young lady could not be at his mercy.
......
The nightlife of Daming Jingshi is not monotonous at all, among the many places where you can eat, drink and have fun, Qianmenwai Street is undoubtedly the most prosperous place, the Lu family on the west side of this street, an old street, and two newly developed commercial streets, for traders to trade and trade, although the rent money collected is not much every year, but it is expensive to attract passenger flow, accumulate the popularity of the Lu family in the core area of Beijing.
The Lu family has a money bank in the old street, called Ri Shenglong, this money bank shop looks small, in addition to the general deposit, lending and exchange business, it can also be deposited and kept for others, since its establishment, it has gradually integrated into the lives of the people, and has become one of the symbols of the Jin Gang.
Jiao Huangzhong's goal tonight is Rishenglong.
At this time, Lu Wenjing and Steward Liu turned into the old street and stood in front of the shop of Rishenglong Qianzhuang.
At this time, the money village had already closed, and only two light banners at the door were left fluttering gently in the breeze, which was incompatible with the lively atmosphere of the entire old street.
"Young master, the money village has already been arranged, in order not to startle the snake, let's still..."
"Well, let's go to the teahouse opposite now for a supper."
Lu Wenjing nodded, and Liu Si accompanied him to the front of a three-story teahouse opposite, there was a teaman at the gate of the teahouse with sharp eyes, and he actually recognized the eldest young master of the Lu family, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him warmly:
"Young Master Lu, why did you have Yaxing come to our Mingchun Building?"
