Chapter 65: Li Hong Designs to Slander Miss (1)
However, it was said that Tang Gui had died in the bedroom of the back house, and the Tang Mansion did not know about it, but the team had already set off from the Tang Mansion for a long time and came to Anfu. The two mansions of Tang'an are in the same capital, and they are only more than ten miles apart. When the Tang Mansion's team arrived at Anfu, it was not yet dawn, and the hour was not broken.
When the housekeeper of Anfu heard that the Tang Mansion was coming, he first entertained everyone in the Tang Mansion to have tea in the living room. He hurriedly informed the old lady and said, "The team of the Tang Mansion has arrived at the house with the bride price!"
At this time, I don't know if my daughter is willing to get married, because when I talked about it with my daughter yesterday evening, my daughter had not given an answer, so I only said that I would think about it again. Now, the Tang Mansion's team has already come.
An Lizheng had to tell his wife to bring a wedding dress to his daughter's boudoir to dress up for her daughter and prepare for marriage.
The lady led the three maids to the lady's room, and when they came to the lady's boudoir, they saw that the door of the lady's room was completely closed. The lady knocked on the door for a long time, but she did not see the lady agree, nor did she open the door, but saw that the door was bolted from the inside! When the lady saw this, she thought that the young lady was unwilling to marry, so she tearfully persuaded her outside the door for half an hour, but there was still no movement in the room.
A maid beside Mrs. Hu said: "Madame persuaded her like this, even if Miss does not want to marry, she should agree." Isn't my sister no longer in the room?"
When the lady heard the maid's words, she was suddenly shocked in her heart, and hurriedly ordered a maid to report the matter to the master.
Hearing this, Anritsu hurriedly came from the living room to the lady's boudoir, and asked the person to enter the lady's room through the window and open the door. When I entered the room, I saw Miao Ju and Yi sleeping on the young lady's bed like a dead person, and there was a strong smell of wine in the room.
Seeing this, An Lizheng thought secretly: "Presumably, it must be that my daughter is unwilling to marry that Tang Gui and ran away without permission." So he ordered his subordinates to take the sobering soup and Miao Ju to serve. Another side ordered the housekeeper to take people out of the house to find the young lady.
It turned out that after Miss and Miao Ju talked about it that day, Miss listened to Miao Ju's thoughts and planned to never marry that Tang Gui. It's just that in the past two days, the two have not come up with a countermeasure to this matter, and the young lady does not dare to tell her father and mother what is on her mind. Until yesterday evening. When her father and mother came to discuss this matter with her, the young lady realized that the Tang family was going to marry her tomorrow. The young lady did not expect that things would be so sudden, and the Tang family would be so anxious! So she used a few vague words to separate her father and mother, and then discussed countermeasures with Miao Ju.
Miao Ju said: "Since the Tang family is going to marry Miss tomorrow, and Miss is unwilling to marry into the Tang family, what is the Miss going to do?"
An Lerong is a smart person, although she is a rich daughter. But he is very assertive, and since he has made up his mind in his heart that he does not want to marry that Tang Gui, he will definitely not marry. Then he said: "Now I can only go out and hide for a few days." ”
Miao Ju said: "Miss is a daughter, and it is inconvenient to hide alone." ”
An Lerong said: "Don't you hear about the Hua Mulan of the previous dynasty? Hua Mulan can disguise herself as a man to go out for her father, and I can also escape this marriage by dressing up as a man for myself." ”
Miao Ju said: "Miss dresses up as a man and goes out, although this plan is good." But Miao Ju still can't rest assured. Miss may wish to bring Miao Ju with the source. Miao Ju once listened to the housekeeper say that the world is not very peaceful now. Bandits are everywhere, and traitors are everywhere. Miss bring Miaoju with her, so you can take care of it!"
An Lerong said: "You have grown up with me since childhood, and the two of us are righteous as servants but like sisters, and I understand your thoughts." You don't have to worry about me, I can go to the inn in the capital for a while to see what happens to the Tang family. Thou shalt inquire for me in the house. ”
Miao Ju said: "If Miss plans to do so, I can rest assured!"
An Lerong said: "You will go to my brother's room first and get two pieces of clothes with me, and then prepare some silver taels." I'll go out the back door early tomorrow morning!When I'm gone, you'll get yourself drunk with wine, if my father asks. You only push me to get you drunk, and you don't know what will happen next!"
Miao Ju said: "Although Miss can rest assured, after Miss leaves, Miao Ju will never tell Miss's whereabouts." But I don't know where the young lady is going to stay at the inn?"
An Lerong said: "If you come out to look for me, you can only go to the Li Ji Inn in the east of the city." ”
The two of them had made a decision, and Miao Ju found two sets of men's clothes for the young lady and put a hundred taels of silver into the baggage. Everything is ready.
That night, the two slept in the room until the fifth watch, and suddenly heard that the Tang family's family was coming. The young lady woke up from her sleep, and knew that her parents would come to persuade her. So he quickly got up from the bed, and despite the cold weather, he just picked up a fox fur coat and draped it over his body. He jumped out of the window with a bag in one hand and a sword in the other, and fled out the back door.
When the sky was twilight, everything was silent! After leaving the house, the young lady hurried forward along an alley. After walking for a few miles, I suddenly heard several dog barks in the alley ahead, and one or two coughing sounds were heard from time to time. By this time it was almost dawn, and some ordinary people had already begun to get up and work.
The young lady thought in her heart while hurrying forward: "At this time, it is almost dawn, but I am still wearing women's clothes. You need to find a place to change into men's clothes, otherwise, once it is dawn, it will be inconvenient to walk on the main street in this pajamas. "Miss thought about it, and there was nowhere to change her makeup. Suddenly I thought that there was a ghost temple in the south of the city, and the young lady also knew that the ghost temple had been in the south of the city for four or five years, and no one dared to go there. If you go to that ghost temple to change your makeup, it's safer than anywhere else. Although the whole city said that there were ghosts in the temple, the young lady was a scholar and never believed in the theory of gods and ghosts. After making up his mind, he hurried to the ghost temple in the south of the city.
When the young lady walked to the ghost temple, the sky was basically bright. The young lady gently pushed the temple door open, but saw that the temple was still dark. At this time, the young lady couldn't care so much, and when she walked into the temple, she closed the temple door, and put the sword burden on the incense table and began to change her makeup. First he hid his pajamas, and then took out men's clothes from his bag and changed them into. When the makeup change was over, I suddenly saw a person come out from under the incense table in front of him.
The young lady was startled and opened her eyes to see it, but she saw that this man was eight feet long, unkempt and gray, and he was wearing a coat of extremely expensive fabric, but it was disgustingly dirty.
The man came out from under the offering table and looked at the young lady and giggled stupidly.
When the young lady saw that this man was a demented beggar, but she hid under the offering table and peeked at herself to change her clothes, and ruined her innocence, a wave of anger suddenly arose in her heart, and she drew her sword out of the sheath without saying a word, but slashed at the beggar with a sword. The beggar hurriedly flashed to the left, but the back of his left hand was cut off by the young lady. When the young lady was about to draw her sword again, she suddenly heard a loud "clang", and the temple door was kicked open.
The young lady turned around and saw that the person who came was Li Hong, the son of her own manager Li!
But it is said that this Li Hongzhi is also a person who is also adulterous like Tang Gui, and he often goes in and out of the Qinglou when he is in the countryside and oppresses the people. It's just that the family is not as powerful as Tang Gui's family, if his family power is the same as Tang Gui's, Li Hong's treachery will definitely be better than Tang Gui's actions.
Li Hong followed his father Li Duancheng into the Anfu three years ago, and since he saw the young lady stroking the qin and dancing the sword in Anfu, he coveted the young lady. I just hate to eat Miss to my mouth, and I don't dare to be rude to Miss. I often secretly watched the young lady dance the sword in the back garden of Anfu and listened to the young lady stroke the piano.
On weekdays, as soon as he had free time, he went to the Qinglou in the capital, and after spending all the money in his hand, he relied on his father's position in Anfu and began to exploit other subordinates.
Once, after Li Hong spent his silver in the Qinglou, when he returned to the mansion, he deducted half of the monthly silver of several firemen in the kitchen of Anfu, and threatened: "If you dare to confide half a word to the master, I will drive you out of Anfu!"
The pyrotechnics knew that they couldn't fight Li Hong, so no one dared to reveal the matter. The next month, Li Hong was like this again, and deducted half of the wages of several pyrotechnics, and one of the pyrotechnics knew Miaoju, so he told Miaoju about Li Hong's private deduction of wages, and Miaoju told Miss about it. The young lady was furious when she heard this, so she went to the fire room to deal with the matter herself.
Again, Li Hong colluded with several scoundrels in the capital to sell the source of a good horse thief in the palace. Later, after the government investigated the case, An Lizheng did not pursue it in the face of the old housekeeper Li Duancheng, otherwise Li Hong would have been questioned by the yamen and imprisoned.
