Da Suining

Chapter 70

Lan faded one leg, leaned towards the wall of the alley, and turned a few times in the air. His dark red robe was like a blooming flower, spinning and landing, and he came to the gate of Xiangfu silently.

"Master Xiaolan..."

"It's cold at night, let's go back home." Lan Tui walked up the steps lightly and knocked on the door.

When the sound of a servant pulling the door bolt came from the ear room of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lan Fai quickly retreated from the steps and ran to the end of the alley against the darkness. He was running so fast that it was hard to see clearly.

The imperial guards guarding both ends of the alley held the handles of their knives, quickly assembled, and quickly disappeared into the night.

When they arrived at the main street of Qingcheng, several imperial guards laughed softly.

"Master Xiaolan seems to take a lot of care of this girl, and our imperial guards rarely send anyone home."

"Looking at the girl's reluctance to leave Master Xiaolan, but Master Xiaolan is the most cruel, even knocking on someone's door, if not, wouldn't it be possible to stay longer?"

"He also said he didn't peek." Lan faded with a stern face, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

The Imperial Guard also laughed: "It's rare to see Master Xiaolan so gentle, I want Master Xiaolan to give him a ride."

"Where do you live, I'll see you off later." Lan Fai generously agreed.

The Praetorian laughed again.

Xiang Suining went back to the mansion wrapped in a blue faded robe. It was dark at night, but she couldn't see anything. After returning, she wrapped up the blue faded robe overnight, and took off the dark orange robe with a lion rolling a hydrangea Wrapped it into a bundle, dug a hole under a rose flower in her yard, threw the bundle in, covered the soil again, and shoveled a pile of old soil to cover it. Looking around, I couldn't see anything. up.

When the clothes are rotten, this evidence will disappear.

Xiang Suining was very careful when he did all this, he didn't even turn on a lamp, and his voice was so small that the people in the Xiangfu didn't notice it.

The next day she slept until the sun was up, very sweet, until the old bustard came to the door.

As soon as the old bustard came, Tang Xiaoniang brought Xiang Suining over.

The old bustard probably didn't sleep well all night, and his eyes were black and blue.

Xiang Daying didn't like this old guy very much, and came here again and again, those who didn't know thought he ordered girls and didn't give money, which was an insult to gentleness.

The old bustard was the same as last time, only asking Xiang Suining's dignitary.

Xiang Suining yawned and sat down by the window, holding a piece of dessert and eating.

What's the rule, when you come to the inner hall, you still eat by yourself.

Tang Xiaoniang was not used to seeing it, so she glared at Xiang Suining.

She stared at her, afraid that she would stare, so she didn't eat anymore, so Xiang Suining squeezed another piece of snack and ate it.

Xiang Sui was calm and relaxed, but the bustard felt timid.

"The head of Chunhualou, what are you doing standing here?"

"I...I...Second girl, now you say Ah Shui is dead, I don't care, you return her to me, she is mine." The old bustard pinched her waist.

Xiang Suining lowered his head and ate his snacks: "Do you have any proof? For example, the contract of sale. Ah Shui committed himself to your Chunhua Building, so you always have the contract of sale, right?"

"Of course there is."

"What about the bond of sale?"

"In the Chunhua Building."

"You go back and get it. Bring the deed of selling your life. If you want to beat or kill, you will go to court. I will admit it naturally."

"It's a bit of a waste of time to go back, anyway, I have a contract of sale..."

"I'm not afraid of wasting time, I'm idle anyway." Xiang Suining yawned: "My time is worthless."

The bustard was speechless.

The front foot lost the contract of sale, so Xiang Suining mentioned it here.

Now that there is no deed of sale, it's hard to say.

No, how could there be such a coincidence in the world, Xiang Suining knew she had lost the deed of prostitution and said that on purpose, right?

How did Xiang Suining know that she had lost her contract of prostitution?She never announced it aloud.

Could it be that she got the deed of prostitution?

The bustard couldn't help but look at Xiang Suining again.

The girl wore a half-new emerald-colored shirt, combed her hair in a soft bun, and wore a small white pearl flower. Although the pearl flower was not expensive, she was young and had a good complexion. The thin lips were actually red, as if soaked in daffodil juice.

Her figure is slender, and she is more well-proportioned than a few days ago. Through the smooth shirt, she can also feel her slender legs, but she is thinner.

Why is she so shaped like a person in a carriage?
Is it her?

Most likely it was her.

Otherwise, who would care about Ah Shui's contract of selling himself.

The old bustard suddenly realized, thought clearly in his heart, and his lips trembled: "It's you, it's your second daughter, the person in the carriage is you, and you pretended to be the second prince to cheat Ah Shui's contract of prostitution, right?"

Xiang Suining did not speak.

Upon hearing about the Second Prince, Xiang Yan's face turned red, like a hawthorn hanging from a treetop.

Xiang Daying is not willing anymore, he doesn't care whether he sells the deed or not, if Xiang Suining is pretending to be the second prince Guo Kai, then Guo Kai is easy to deal with, how many people in Xuanguo are brave enough to pretend to be him?Pretending to be a prince is a serious crime, right?
It doesn't matter if you wronged Xiang Suining, old bustard, but you can't drag the Xiangfu up and down the fire pit.

"The head of Chunhualou, don't talk nonsense with your mouth, or I will sue the emperor." Xiang Daying said with a cold face: "The second prince is the emperor's noble son, how can my daughter just pretend to be it? Your eyes don't seem to be blind." , does my daughter look like the Second Prince Guo?"

"I didn't see my face clearly that day..."

"You didn't see your face clearly, what did you say?"

The bustard was devastated.

The bad thing is that they hunted all night and didn't hold Xiang Suining down. It's too late to say anything now.

When it comes to the official, she doesn't have Ah Shui's contract of selling herself, and she doesn't belong to her, so she won't get much benefit.

The old bustard had an idea, anyway, Ah Shui was gone, so she couldn't confront her, so she said what she said at the moment, and it was fine to make a little more money: "At that time, I rescued Ah Shui, she sold herself to me, and I trained her But it cost a lot of money, you don’t know, that Ah Shui’s hands and feet were dishonest, she was just beaten when she was rescued by your Xianger girl that day, why she was beaten, it was all because she stole two of my jade bracelets, a pair Gemstone earrings, and a string of pearl necklaces, by the way, there is also a night pearl the size of an egg, and a few silver notes."

The old bustard spoke loudly, saying that Ah Shui took away at least 1 taels of silver from her.Adding these sevens and eights, it was almost 2 taels.

2 taels of silver is enough to book a place in Chunhualou, even the bustard is included.

Xiang Daying's annual salary is only one hundred taels, which is enough for Xiang Daying to work for several lifetimes.

What's more, a boudoir daughter like Xiang Suining.

Tang Xiaoniang scolded Xiang Suining: "It's all caused by you, the second girl. A thief, what did the second girl save her for? Wouldn't it cause trouble for the house? Now that she is gone, the girl will give you the 2 taels of silver. "

"What are you talking about, don't wait for me." A familiar voice came.

It was Lu Yu's voice.

Lu Yu came in big strides in his water-blue narrow-sleeved robe, maybe he walked in a hurry, the sapphire hanging from his waist dangled for a long time before stopping.

Also came to watch the fun.

His father recently showed Mrs. Xiang's eyes. He, the son of the Lu family, has also met Xiang Daying a few times.Today he came to the door rashly, Prime Minister Da Ying didn't want to see him, but Lu Yu waved his fan, bowed his hands, pretending to be knowledgeable and courteous, people can't fault it.

"Sit down." Xiang Daying pointed him to a brocade stool.

"I heard what you said just now." Lu Yu raised his eyebrows, staring at the old bustard trembling in his heart.

"We're talking about Miss Ah Shui's business, not your business, sir." The old bustard said.

"Your memory is not very good, old man." Lu Yu played with the sapphire around his waist: "The one who saved Ah Shui that day was not only Miss Xiang Er, but also me, by the way, and Mr. Lan Fai Lan from Changxinhou's Mansion , I waited at home and waited until I didn't see you calling for trouble, so I was very anxious."

There are also people who put shit bowls on their heads.

As evidenced by God, Lu Yu himself made trouble for himself, and he couldn't stop him.

"By the way, why do you only trouble Miss Xiang Er? It's not good to only pick soft persimmons, right?" Lu Yu looked foolish.

"I do not have."

"Then you always trouble Miss Xianger? Don't you think she is a soft persimmon? In fact, if you want to be idle, you can also pinch me. I am also quite soft."

Lu Yu was so slutty, with that look, that tone, and that manner.

Tang Xiaoniang almost turned her face away.

Even Xiang Daying felt that he couldn't stand it. Lu Zhan, a small imperial doctor, usually kept his duty the most in the palace. He worked diligently for decades, and he didn't dare to take an extra step, he didn't dare to say a word, for fear of making mistakes. son so and so?With a rogue temperament.

In the past, I always felt that my son was naughty and disobedient to discipline. Compared with this son of the Lu family, my son was better.

The old bustard was still stubborn: "It's not that I don't want to trouble you, I'm..."

"Then you go out and turn left to find the trouble of Changxin Hou Mansion Lan Fai. He is not on duty at the moment and happens to be at home. If you are lucky, the princess can pick it out for you with a stick."

The old bustard was flabbergasted: "Anyway, you have to pay me the money, or I will sue the old man."

"It would have been better if I said I wanted money earlier." Lu Yu stretched out his long legs, and stroked his head with both hands: "It's not a problem if money can solve it. To tell you the truth, there is nothing else in the Lu family, only money is left. What do you think?" How much do you want to pay?"

"2 million taels."

"How much?" The tea in Lu Yu's mouth almost spewed out. A trip to Chunhualou cost less than 20 taels. It was already good wine, tea and dinner, and he could still watch the show for a while. 2 taels, the bustard dared to speak.

"Which calculation did you calculate the 2 taels?" Lu Yu lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea slowly.

The old bustard repeated what Ah Shui had said about stealing her gold and silver, this time there was an extra string of agate bracelets than the first time, so 2 taels might not be enough.

"Look, I've also taken care of you at Chunhualou several times. We're all acquaintances. Can't it be cheaper?" Lu Yu smiled.

Xiang Daying grinned silently, what kind of character is this young man of the Lu family? He actually talked about his going to Chunhualou in public, and he was proud of himself, without any remorse. He never thought that the little official Lu Zhan could teach such a son , It is true that people cannot be judged by appearances, and sea water cannot be measured.

admire.

The old bustard refused: "If you don't give 2 taels, I'll go to the yamen in Qingcheng and let the old man uphold justice. Who knows if the things Ah Shui stole were given to you."

Without Ah Shui, the old bustard could do whatever she wanted.

On the contrary, Lu Yu got up calmly, put down the teacup, clapped his hands together and asked the bustard: "You said you stole it, what if Ah Shui said you didn't steal it? Who decides?"

"If Ah Shui says she didn't steal it, then she didn't steal it. Let her come out and tell me."

It is said that Ah Shui is dead.

The old bustard didn't believe that a young man like him could find a dead man and talk to him.

Lu Yu clapped his hands again, a woman wearing a veil covering her face, wearing a brocade gown embroidered with chrysanthemums, with an ordinary bun, wearing only a red gold hairpin on her temple, walked in slowly, the sun shining on her , her expression is gentle, making people look close.

Lu Yu hurriedly introduced: "This is my mother."

It turned out to be Mrs. Zhuang, the mistress of Lu's house. Although Xiang Daying had dealt with Lu Zhan before, he rarely saw anyone in his back house. I didn't expect Mrs. Zhuang to come to the door in person this day. I was really scared and didn't know how to resist.

A group of people saluted according to their seniority and sat down.

Mrs. Zhuang sat on top of Tang Xiaoniang, and Tang Xiaoniang couldn't help but look at her more. After all, Mrs. Zhuang is a serious headed mistress. His son seems to be out of touch, but Zhuang's demeanor is really rare to see.

Looking at it, Tang Xiaoniang felt that she couldn't stand on the table, so she straightened her body on purpose, and took a cup of tea to drink.

Zhuang's maid was wearing a fairy bun and a small pink flower on her temples. Seeing that Zhuang was sitting down, she came out and knelt down in front of Zhuang: "Ah Shui was taken care of, and I am not very grateful. The matter is due to Ah Shui rose up, let's make a break today."

Everyone was surprised.

Isn't Ah Shui dead?How did she come back to life?

Xiang Suining also found it unbelievable, but after thinking about it later, he understood, no wonder he went to steal the deed of prostitution that day, Lu Yu said he knew where the deed of prostitution was hidden, naturally Ah Shui told him.

Mrs. Zhuang spoke bluntly: "I like the girl Ah Shui, so I have kept her by my side for a while. Recently, I heard that Chunhualou was looking for her, so I brought her here to give everyone an explanation."

The old bustard took a step ahead and grabbed Ah Shui's wrist: "You maidservant, come back with me."

Ah Shui raised her head, and there was a deep scar on her face, the scar was worse than Tang Xiaoniang's face, the deep red color was like a date beaten by frost, the scar was as wide as a finger pulp.

With such a face, what can she do when she returns to Chunhualou?Isn't it to scare away the guests?

The bustard immediately let go of her hand and stepped aside: "Your face..."

"My face is broken."

"You pay... you lose money, pay me 2 taels, and return the stolen things." The bustard doesn't care about Ah Shui's life or death. Since Ah Shui's face has become like this, it is the biggest thing to get the money. Interests, who is willing to take Ah Shui away, whether she is a slave or a concubine, she doesn't care at all. To her, Ah Shui is just an object that can make money.

"I didn't steal anything from you." Ah Shui retorted. She stretched out her hand and pulled her sleeves to the crook of her arms. You could see that there were at least dozens of deep and shallow scars on her arms, and dozens of scars stretched across On her thin arms, one can imagine how many injuries she suffered. She must have suffered a lot in those years.
