Chapter 168: The Stumbling Block to the Throne

I panicked, stumbled on the stool, and fell straight to the screen. There was a loud bang, and my elbows and thighs hurt. Xiao Hai put aside the childish prostitute, hurriedly stepped forward to help me, and said worriedly: "Where is the twist?" I got up, stretched out my hands and feet, and there was no particular pain, so I said, "It's okay." Qing'er's eyes widened and she exclaimed, "Are you a woman?" ”

Xiaohai picked up the silk hat that fell aside, put it on for me a few times, and said to Qing'er: "Don't be foolish"

Before the words fell, the movement was too loud and the guards had already provoked the surrounding guards to surround her, Qing'er was a prostitute, where could she listen to Xiaohai, she opened her voice and shouted: "Mother Zhu, there is a woman here." "When a woman goes to a brothel, there are only two situations, one is that she wants to sell herself as a prostitute, and the other is probably to catch an adulterer. Men disguised as women mixed in, and their hearts were unpredictable, and they were definitely not talking about cooperation.

This Mother Zhu is the old woman who greeted us before, and at this time she changed her expression and said, "Please leave immediately, we don't entertain female guests here." "It's polite not to let people catch and tie them up directly, and she doesn't want to cause disputes.

Xiaohai fooled her and said, "We're not here to stir up trouble, we'll leave immediately." ”

I followed him downstairs and whispered, "What should I do?" "Xiaohai made a look at me, this look is very familiar to me, when I was a child, at home, every time Ama made a gesture to hit him, he would give me a look, which means: Hurry up and run, go to find Eniang.

When I got downstairs, I was about to pass through the hall where the curtain was hanging down, Xiaohai pulled my sleeve, and I nodded. As the two of us walked along, one flashed to the left and the other to the right, and the people came and went, the lights were dim, and the old woman did not dare to make a loud noise, but I had a chance to escape. I squeezed left and right, and in a trance I saw a familiar figure shuttling through the crowd.

My heart chuckled, it was Anan, Anan wherever Fourteen went, and she followed Anan.

The thicker the suspicion, the more I can't stop. After following, he didn't dare to follow too closely, for fear of being discovered by her. I saw her walk through the hall, directly into the back garden, and then climb up to a small building, the upstairs was brightly lit, and there was a faint sound of talking and laughing.

The backyard is quiet and peaceful, like an ordinary family's private house, and there are few people walking around. I saw several guards standing under the small building, and a few of them were familiar to me, the guards of Fourteen.

Is he really here?

I don't know whether to go forward or go backwards, it's hard to decide. My trust in Fourteen has always been strong, and I never even dreamed of going to a brothel. But what had never happened in my dreams was laid out in front of my eyes. I almost moved to the top of the stairs and stood stunned, hesitating.

I don't know how long it took for me to step up the stairs and try to go up.

The two guards stretched out their arms to block it, and said, "This place has been packed, no outsiders are allowed to enter, get out of here." I raised my head and looked at it calmly, put on a stand in Fujin, and shouted, "Do you know who I am?" The guard said expressionlessly: "No matter who you are, you are not allowed to enter." I said, "Okay, I don't have to go in, let Fourteen come out to see me." ”

The guards looked at each other and said, "Don't you want to die?" Get out of here. ”

I said, "I'm the Fourteenth Fujin, let the Fourteen come out to see me." The guards looked me up and down, but I didn't recognize that I was a woman, and there was a smile on my lifeless face, and said, "If you are the Fourteenth Fujin, can we be queens?" Get out of here, be careful with your little life, you can't afford to provoke any of the people upstairs. "After that, you want to kidnap me away.

A bearded man on the side heard me speak, took a closer look, and said tremblingly: "Fujin, why are you here?" The captive guards hurriedly stopped their movements and asked, "Big brother, what Fujin?" The bearded man slapped the forehead of the two of them, and said, "It's the Fourteenth Fujin," and said, "Greet Fujin." Everyone else panicked and bowed down.

I held my face high, I didn't look at them, I walked up, the bearded man hunched down and followed beside me, I wanted to stop me but didn't dare, my mouth pleaded bitterly, and said: "Fujin, you misunderstood, the master is planning a big deal now, you" I smiled contemptuously and said, "Big deal? I really can't think of anything big to do in the green building. The bearded man stopped all the way, but he didn't dare to stop, and when he reached the second floor and turned left, I saw Anan standing by the door at a glance, she first lowered her voice and reprimanded: "Who is it?" ”

When I got closer, she panicked and said, "Fujin, why are you here?" ”

I couldn't help but smile and said, "Why do you all ask me the same question?" He coldly ordered: "Open the door." Anan said: "Fujin, master" My voice raised three points, and said word by word: "Put, door, hit, open!" ”

When the sound fell, Fourteen's voice came from inside, "Open the door." ”

Anan bowed in response, pushed forward with both hands, and said, "Fujin, please come in." ”

There was a screen of four doors in front of the door, and my mind was blank, and I clenched my fists, thinking only of rushing over and punching him first. I shouted: "What a Yinzhen, you dare to carry me behind my back" Before I finished speaking, I swallowed it back.

There were no bamboos, no food or drink, and no prostitutes, only fourteen sat on the main seat, and seven or eight old men sat on the left and right sides. One by one, they looked at me as if they were choking on eggs, and they were speechless.

I'm not a fool, but after a little turn of my head, I understand - he's in a clique.

The old men stood up and saluted me, and Fourteen, with a dignified face I had never seen before, said, "Disperse." After speaking, everyone went out of the front door, some through the back door, and in the blink of an eye, they were all gone. Fourteen looked at me, and I looked at him, and although the two did not speak, they had already tacitly understood it. Fourteen looked at me and said, "Where did you get the robes again?" ”

I was embarrassed and said, "I bought it." After a pause, he said, "Am I disturbing your business?" Fourteen got up and smiled lightly: "No, it's going to disperse anyway." After a pause, he continued, "It's good that you know." My tears suddenly burst down like a bank, and Fourteen held my face and rubbed it softly, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

No matter how he planned, I knew he wouldn't get what he wanted.

I sobbed, "I'm worried about you. Fourteen coaxed me into his arms like a child, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry. His chin rested on my head, quietly hugged me, and when I calmed down, he asked, "Come home with me, okay?" I twisted his arms away and said, "No, my anger has not subsided, I will go back with you casually, I am not very shameless." Fourteen laughed and said, "Okay, I'll send you back to Yan's mansion, and when Tong Jia's affairs are dealt with, I'll pick you up." ”

I was full of frustration and pain that Fourteen would have to experience in the next ten years, and my heart was depressed, so I didn't listen carefully to what he said. Coming out of Yihong Mansion, I slowly paced back to Wanyan Mansion after a long absence. The winter moon was as cold as frost, illuminating the earth, and we stood shoulder to shoulder, occasionally saying a few words, but more often in silence.

Fourteen broke the silence and said, "How do you know that I am in Yihong Mansion?" "He does things secretly, and he doesn't even know about the eighth master, thinking about his whereabouts being leaked, and it's time to change places next time.

In short, I said, "Xiaohai accidentally saw Zhang Fangfang. I lowered my face and stopped talking, and I said again: "I promise you, don't let Tong Jia's family pass through the door, and Ming'er will go to talk to Huang Ama." I was stunned, I should have been happy, but somehow, instead of joy, I was worried: "What do you say? Will Huang Ama be angry? ”

Fourteen pretended to be relaxed and said: "The tiger poison does not eat children, and the emperor Ama is angry, but he will not hate me, and it will be fine after a while." I said, "What about Roncodo?" Fourteen smiled and said: "He is a courtier and a slave, if I don't marry, I won't marry, what can he do?" "That being said, I know that it's nowhere near as easy and simple as Fourteen said.

I suddenly felt like a stumbling block, a stumbling block in his struggle for the throne.

When I arrived at the gate of Wanyan Mansion, someone had already passed Ama inside, Ama and Eniang greeted me outside, and when they saw me and Fourteen saying goodbye to each other, they thought it was okay, and both of them smiled with relief. Xiaohai didn't find me in Yihong Mansion, so he hurried back, and Ama was angry when he saw him, and shouted, "What are you doing at night?" Xiaohai used me as a shield and said: "Qiang girl asked me to go out to play with me" Ama became more and more angry, and said: "Sister is not called sister, no big or small, don't fool me, Wei Wei is obviously in the same place with the fourteenth master, why did you let you play with you?" ”

Xiaohai: ""

Ama said: "Starting from Ming'er, you have to pay the money for food expenses every month, otherwise you will move out of Wanyan Mansion and set up your own door." Our house can't be for you to live and eat and drink for nothing" Xiao Hai said angrily: "Then why don't you pay it, why don't you pay it, why don't you pay it?" I'm not convinced! "Although he has a lot of money on errands, it is far from enough for him to spend, and he used to withdraw money from the account room when he was missing, as long as Eniang nodded. Ama said coldly: "The silver is mine, I love to give it to whomever I like, if you are disobedient again, take your daughter-in-law and son to live outside." Xiaohai has no financial power, so he has to endure it and not squeak.

E-Niang saw that I was reconciled with Fourteen, but I still lived in Wanyan Mansion and did not go back, knowing that I was still angry, so she carried a lantern and sent me into the courtyard, sitting by the kang and talking. She didn't ask the reason, and said quietly: "Do you know how many concubines you married when Ama was young?" "I'm a late woman from Yan Luocha, and I haven't worn it to the Qing Dynasty when I was a child, so naturally I don't know.

I shook my head and said, "What about those concubines?" "There are not many people who live in the side courtyard of Wanyan Mansion now.

Eniang stroked the folds of the skirt on her knees and said, "It's not that Eniang is ruthless, Eniang is the same as you, and she can't rub sand in her eyes." He added: "They are dead, they are sold, they are sold, they are given away, as long as they don't meet my liking, I will dispose of them." ”
