But after the wedding, the two still have to live.

A scholar who can only read can do anything, even if he has the heart, he is powerless. When the woman in red was at the wedding banquet, everyone knew her name, Hongyu, a name that didn't sound good or bad, but it fell on the ears of the scholar, which was naturally extremely good.

But the biggest problem they faced was that they were running out of money, and the rent of the house was using up their last savings. Just like when Wang Yi was kicked out of Baizi Academy and had no money to stay in Chang'an City, they were going to starve to death.

The scholar is not reading, sighing day and night, looking at the books in the bookbox, he feels for the first time that reading is useless, those who write in the book, for the heaven and earth, for the people, for the saints to continue learning, for everything to open peace.

But in the end, he and his wife can't solve the problem of food and clothing, and the scholar named Liu Qingfeng doesn't want to study anymore, he wants to go home, or do some other business to supplement the family.

On the night of another month, Liu Qingfeng told Hongyu his thoughts, Hongyu didn't say a word, and directly gave Liu Qingfeng a slap, and then walked out of the house.

Liu Qingfeng covered his face, and for a while, he stayed where he was, at a loss, and he didn't know what he had done wrong. When he came back to his senses and wanted to recover the red jade, Liu Qingfeng stood on the street of Yuhua Lane, looking at the scene of the sea of people, and the figure of the red jade had long been gone.

Liu Qingfeng walked down the street in despair and began to look for the red jade, but after a night, the red jade still did not find, Liu Qingfeng decided to go home, find all his valuable objects, go to the pawnshop to exchange some silver coins, and take the silver money directly to Jingzhao Mansion to report the case.

But when Liu Qingfeng stood at the door of his house, I don't know when, Hongyu came back early and sold tofu there.

Hongyu, who was busy, saw her Xianggong standing there, his clothes had long been soaked with sweat, and she was a little distressed, so she led Xianggong into the house, changed her clothes for Xianggong, left Liu Qingfeng in the study to study, and went out to sell tofu by herself.

In this way, Yuhua in Chang'an City has one less virtuous lady at home and one more red jade who sells tofu.

Zhao Wu waved his hand at the sergeant who followed behind, signaling them to stop outside Yuhua Lane, and rode into Yuhua Lane with Ding Yixiu next to him and the guards behind.

On the streets of Yuhua Lane, people walk as usual, and the snow has long been cleared by the people here, so they don't have to worry about falling.

In the past, there would be no people riding horses in Yuhua Lane, especially a white horse, Zhao Wu's rich and compelling brocade clothes fell into view first, only the tattered Ding Yixiu was subconsciously ignored.

People made way for their group, not daring to provoke them.

Immediately stopped, Zhao Wu turned over and dismounted, handed the horse to the guards behind him, Ding Yixiu jumped off the horse, and walked forward at the same time as Zhao Wu.

At the tofu stall in front, a woman in red was busy with her head down, as if she didn't notice their arrival.

Zhao Wu pushed away a few people standing in front of the stall, and as soon as those people turned around, they saw the weapon in Ding Yixiu's hand, suppressed their anger, and hurriedly left here.

Hongyu, who was busy, suddenly stopped what she was doing, slowly raised her head, and looked at Zhao Wu and Ding Yixiu who stepped forward with a pair of tired eyes.

"You two want to buy tofu?"

Zhao Wu was slightly stunned when he heard this, he thought that Hongyu would say, "What are you doing here", or directly blow them away, but he didn't expect to ask them if they wanted to buy tofu.

Zhao Wu stretched out his hand and touched the tofu on the stall, and the warm daring came, it should be the tofu that had just been made.

"Don't buy it, our family is here to talk about business with the red girl. ”

Hongyu ignored Zhao Wu, she could tell from between her words that the one in front of her should be a eunuch.

Hongyu asked Ding Yixiu again, "Buy tofu?"

Ding Yixiu was even more shocked in his heart, he didn't know where this woman came from, so he could ignore Zhao Wu, who was the inner guard.

"Don't buy it. ”

"If you don't buy it, please leave, someone in the back wants to buy it. ”

Hongyu waved her hand at Zhao Wu and Ding Yixiu, "Don't get in the way." ”

Zhao Wu laughed, the guards behind him directly drew their swords, and the people around them ran away when they saw this, only a few old and young people who got along well with Hongyu stood not far away, and couldn't bear to leave, letting a woman face all this, but because of the knife in the guard's hand, she didn't dare to approach this side.

Zhao Wu chuckled, "Look, no one has come to buy tofu." ”

Ding Yixiu grinned, this cooperation looked like an old man who followed Zhao Wu. Hongyu untied the apron around her waist, hugged her arms, and glanced at Zhao Wu a little angrily.

"Get out!"

Zhao Wu didn't laugh angrily, it was really getting more and more interesting, and now the people in the underworld were so interesting.

"Red girl, don't be angry, we bought all your tofu today, okay?"

As soon as these words came out, the anger on Hongyu's face decreased slightly, but the mood had been ruined by Zhao Wu.

"I don't know what this father-in-law wants to do?"

Zhao Wu casually picked up a piece of crushed tofu, put it in his mouth, and tasted it carefully.

"It tastes good, it's nothing, it's just a big deal, it's just a discussion with the red girl. ”

Hongyu put down her rolled up sleeves, pushed open the door behind her, glanced at Zhao Wu, and then at the guards who followed behind Zhao Wu, "You can bring one person in, not one more." ”

Zhao Wu smiled: "Yes." ”

Zhao Wu patted Ding Yixiu, who was pretending to be dead next to him, "Let's go, you go in with me." ”

After that, without waiting for Ding Yixiu to speak, he strode into the courtyard. Ding Yixiu cried with a sad face, so he had to follow behind and walk into the courtyard.

The courtyard is not big, there are only two houses, through the window, Ding Yixiu saw a scholar sitting there, the books in his hand kept flipping, and saw Hongyu leading the two of them into the courtyard, hurriedly got up and walked out.

"Lady, who are these two?"

Hongyu stretched out her hand and straightened the folds of Liu Qingfeng's clothes, "It's okay, it's a relative from my hometown, and now I'm a guest at home." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be my mother's family, Xiaosheng Liu Qingfeng, I have seen two. I don't know who the two are?"

Zhao Wu didn't care about this Liu Qingfeng, he had investigated this Liu Qingfeng before he came, his family background was innocent, and he had been farming for generations, and finally came to his generation to become a scholar, and he did his best to let him come to Chang'an City to gain fame.

Mr. Liu was polite. I am Hongyu's cousin, Zhao Wu, and this is my cousin, Ding Yixiu. ”

As soon as Liu Qingfeng heard that he was called Mr. Liu,

The joy on his face was overflowing, and he stepped forward and pulled Zhao Wu, "Mr. Zhao, come into the house and chat, come on." Mr. Ding, don't stand there, come in together. ”

Zhao Wu's arm waved slightly, Liu Qingfeng only felt that Zhao Wu's arm in his hand suddenly turned into a loach, and before he could react, Zhao Wu broke free of Liu Qingfeng's palm.

Ding Yixiu didn't like Liu Qingfeng's crepe appearance, "Excuse me, let's say a few words and leave." ”

Zhao Wu glanced at the red jade behind him with a smile, and said to Liu Qingfeng: "Mr. Liu still studies hard, and when the academy enrolls students again in three years, Mr. Liu will definitely go to high school." ”

Liu Qingfeng turned his head in embarrassment, glanced at Hongyu with an inquiring look, Hongyu smiled slightly, "Xianggong, you still go to study, I'll just say something to them." ”

Liu Qingfeng came to Hongyu's ear and asked in a low voice, "Will it be rude?"

Hongyu glanced at Zhao Wu, who was standing in it smiling, and Ding Yixiu, who was looking around as soon as he came in, and said, "No, it's all family." ”

After receiving Hongyu's assurance, Liu Qingfeng let go of the worries in his heart, and the smile on his face became stronger.

"The two of you must be very tired from your hometown, you can go and drink some tea first, since you don't want to go into the house, then have a good chat with Yu'er, and I'll go to study first." ”

Zhao Wu looked at this Liu Qingfeng, and had a general understanding in his heart, this Liu Qingfeng really didn't know anything, just a scholar.

Nodding in greeting, Zhao Wu looked at Liu Qingfeng's departing back, and asked Hongyu, "This Liu Qingfeng?"

Hongyu looked at Zhao Wu vigilantly, "Father-in-law thinks too much, Xianggong is just a common man of the Ming Dynasty." ”

"That's good, that's good, now the red girl can talk to us about business. ”

"Naturally. ”

With a wave of Hongyu's big sleeves, all the doors and windows of the house were closed instantly, and Liu Qingfeng in the house was about to let go of the books, but he was taken aback, and he wanted to open the windows again, and Hongyu in the courtyard shouted: "It's good for Xianggong to read, we just want to talk about some things, and it's inconvenient for Xianggong to know." ”

Liu Qingfeng nodded, and didn't ask much, just thinking that when he met Hongyu on the mountain road, Hongyu fell to the ground covered in blood, and after being rescued by Liu Qingfeng, Hongyu just said that he was chased and killed by the enemy, where was his home, and no one said anything. Liu Qingfeng has long been used to it, as long as it is the red jade she likes, what does it have to do with what she looked like before and now that she is her own lady.

She's just her own lady now.

Hongyu sat on top of the graphite and wiped the sweat from her forehead with one hand, "What's the matter with my father-in-law?"

Zhao Wu glanced at the courtyard, it was really shabby, there was no place to sit.

"Let me introduce, our family is Zhao Wu, the commander of the inner chamberlain, and I came here today to make a deal with the red jade girl. ”

Hongyu said: "If Gonggong Zhao wants to entrust the underworld to assassinate others, we have rules, you should go to the contact point, I can't do it here." ”

Zhao Wu smiled slightly, as if he guessed that Hongyu would speak like this, Zhao Wu slowly took out a black token from his arms, and the token had a red word "kill" on it.

Hongyu gritted her silver teeth and said coldly: "Difu Order!"

Zhao Wu threw the token in his hand to Hongyu and said with a smile: "Take a look, this is a real order from our family." ”
