Concubine, please respect yourself

Chapter 20

In front of the Eight Immortals table, a man and a woman sat facing each other, one of them rubbed Bodhi's brows tightly, and the other held her fragrant cheeks in a charming way.

"Tell me, what do you know?" Ying Su pulled back her sleeves, put back the shiny Buddhist beads that had been twisted into the cuffs, squinted at the smiling woman in front of her, and said in a deep voice.

Lu Ziyu's mind has turned a thousand turns at this moment, thinking how he can push the matter of the Duke's mansion back to Beijing, and still clean himself up!

Eye waves flowed, covering the dark light.

"Oh, it's a long story." Lu Ziyu pretended to smile wryly, took a sip of fragrant tea and said bitterly, "Since the young master knows my identity, I must be from a family in Beijing, so I naturally know about my Duke Lu's mansion." Yiyi in the past."

The voice is soft and melodious, with a few hints of sorrow. If an ordinary man listens to a beauty confide in his sorrows, he would probably have to sacrifice his heart and soul at this moment. Wang Ye Yingsu.

Looking at the man's indifferent face, he bit his red lips lightly and said, "My Lu family has been a generation of hairpin tassels, but the father in the family is gentle and kind, and he doesn't like the officialdom, so he resigned and returned to his hometown, but those aristocratic families in Beijing still suppressed me. In the Lu Mansion, my eldest brother, dressed in literary and ink, has sent paperwork to the court many times to reflect the local people's sentiments, but was stopped by officials in the court. If he could pass the papers to the saints, my elder brother would already have an official position and serve the court. Why bother to be trapped in little Suzhou."

"Furthermore, in Suzhou, the government and businessmen are now colluding to raise prices, and the people are complaining about the heavy taxation. Today I heard sister Tao Niang from Fengxian Tower say that the governor wants to discuss important matters with wealthy businessmen in Suzhou. I wanted to take this opportunity to find out. Two, I want to go home and report to my eldest brother, but I don't want to meet you again, son." At the end of the sentence, she was still blushing and looked at Yingsu with shame.

Seeing that Ying Su still had a cold face, she leaned forward a little bit, pinched his cuff and shook it softly, misty eyes formed in her originally clear eyes.

Seeing this, Ying Su yelled coldly: "Hold back!"

"Uh..." Lu Ziyu was shocked by his haha, his eyes were dumbfounded, and there were water drops in his eyes that had been brewing for a long time, but he dared not drop them.

Ying Su saw her aura, her shoulders trembled slightly, she covered her sleeves and coughed to return to normal, then took out a black silk handkerchief from her cuff and threw it on the table.

The little lady on the other side of the table snorted coquettishly, turned her body to one side, picked up the silk handkerchief and pretended to wipe the corners of her eyes, as if she didn't want to talk to the man in front of her again.

There was no sound in the room, only the melodious sound of silk and bamboo coming from downstairs, and the teasing and laughing of Hua Niang and the prostitutes, Ying Su felt that these sounds were extremely harsh, but it would be better to listen to the little girl from Lu Guogong's mansion continue to whisper in her ears chattering.

He raised his eyebrows and glanced at her sideways, seeing that she was still not going to pay attention to him, he frowned.

Lu Ziyu turned his body to the side and he wasn't angry, he just felt that his stupid appearance just now was too stupid, he must have made this man laugh to death.

"My lords, let's start discussing business matters?" A flattering smile came from the inner wing room, which attracted the attention of the two people who were silent.

Mr. Li, the governor of Suzhou, and the emissary from Beijing seem to be already in the room.

"My brother-in-law is really more handsome and cheerful!" The voice was full of vigor, and it was indeed the plump Cishi Liu.

brother in law?Ying Su lowered her eyes in thought, puzzled.

Lu Ziyu knew that he didn't know the relationship between the Jia family and Governor Li, so he threw the handkerchief in his direction and lowered his voice: "The Jia family married their daughter, Jia Zhen, who is only twenty-eight, into the governor's mansion for profit!"

"Bastard" Ying Suqi's face was embarrassing, and his pretty thin lips were pursed into a thin line. Thinking of these merchants colluding with local officials by any means and harming the people, he really wanted to drive all these beasts to the Hall of Hades to drink tea.

But what made me even more annoyed was that these officials were hard to keep their hearts, and the articles they wrote during the imperial examination were loyal and dedicated, so why did they do things like this?

Today's saints are old and don't care about government affairs, and now there are constant wars in Dongpu, rats and ants are forming a nest, if this continues for a long time, I'm afraid they will not survive forever!
In the inner wing room, there was an interlacing of toasts and chips, and the conversation was very happy!

"Little brother-in-law, this is a distinguished guest from the middle of the capital. This time, I made a special trip to bring you and me the oral order from above." Governor Li described the origin of the gray-robed man, but did not go into any detail.

The two people in the wing room of Jiaoxiang Garden heard the words with curiosity and inquiry in their eyes, and they heard the arrogant tone of the man in the gray robe in the side room: "My master said that the price of the salt shipped this time should not be greatly increased. The Ninth Prince came to Suzhou to check the salt account, if you don’t follow the rules and make messes on your own, then don’t ask my master for help, this is a job that will lose your head, so be careful with me.”

The gray-robed man's voice was extremely low, but he was still on guard, fearing that there might be spies in this building.

Although Ying Su and Lu Ziyu could hear it vaguely, they could make a rough guess, but they didn't know who the master behind the gray-robed man was. It would be clearer if they knew the situation.

Ying Su thought to herself: I just heard the gray-robed man say that he came to Suzhou, and saw the woman sitting across from him with the same expression as usual, but he didn't know his identity.

Little did they know, since the first time they met, Lu Ziyu, a little fox, had already figured out his details.

"Naturally, I don't dare to refuse what my lord ordered." Inspector Li bowed his body, and bowed deeply to the gray-robed man, letting him return to his life with peace of mind.

Jia Cen saw the governor standing up to salute, so he quickly stood up and bowed to the gray-robed man, but the gray-robed man snorted contemptuously: "It's just a copper-smelling merchant!"

Everyone in the entire Suzhou city knows that Jia Cen can be said to be a bully in the local area. He dare not bully him if he bullies the land master, let alone let him look at him coldly. But today Jia Cen heard the tone of the gray robe man. He said the allegory but didn't do anything, just smiled sarcastically, his expression still respectful.

Since the founding of Dongying, it has been a big official business, not to mention that the gray-robed man is still an official in Beijing, who dares to disrespect?
"That's enough, since I've brought it here, I'm still in a hurry to return to the capital to report back to my master, so I'll leave first." The gray-robed man finished speaking, and got up to leave!
There was a hissing sound in the room, several people wrapped in robes, opened the door and walked out.

Here, just after hearing what the gray-robed man said, Lu Ziyu was troubled in his heart, and glanced at Yingsu, no way!She had to think of a way quickly, she had to let Jia Cen sell the salt at a high price in the near future, so that the Lu family could take advantage of the man next to him and return to Beijing earlier!
Hearing the three people's footsteps gradually disappearing, Ying Su got up and straightened his robes, and slowly seemed to be leaving, but fortunately, the sharp-eyed little girl sitting on the stool stopped him.

"robe?"

"If it's dirty, don't want it!"

Lu Ziyu saw him glance at the brocade robe on the ground, with a disgusted look on his face, displeased, and wanted to play tricks on him again!
"Then how can it be that it's windy outside, and Ying Niang puts it on, Young Master." Lu Ziyu picked up the robe on the ground, took two steps forward, and shook the robe on Ying Su's shoulders that were cut like a knife.

Yingsu looked down at the woman dressing him, as if her charming wife was sending her husband out, and the Yingyans in his mansion were not only fighting each other, but also crying, which gave him a headache.

Lu Ziyu saw that the Ninth Prince was fascinated by himself, and laughed jokingly: "Did you accept the young master's token of love?"

When she regained her senses, Ying Su felt a chill in her chest, as if she had been bitten by something, and was about to touch it, watching the little woman in front of her gleefully swinging her silk handkerchief.

"Give it to me!" His tone was undeniably cold.

"No." Lu Ziyu hid Sipa behind his back and stomped his feet.

"Alas", Ying Su sighed helplessly, looked down and saw the concentric knot pendant tied on the belt of her outer robe, shuddered in her heart, shook her head and said, "It's up to you!"
