Chapter 348 Idol
Bai Ting drew a red flag on the map.

If Wang Hua is here, he will be very surprised, because this is all his footprints in his life so far.First, there was a small red flag in Qingshangou, which was pitifully small, and then it was planted in Luoyang, where the red flag began to grow a little bigger.But it was still very small, and then he returned to Luoyang for the second time, and Qi Qizhuang became stronger again.At least you can see it on the map at a glance.

Then draw a big circle, starting from Luoyang, going to Chang'an, Qinling, entering Yizhou, and then going down the river from Yizhou to Jiangnan, and going north from the Grand Canal.Wang Hua traveled abroad for more than a year. Wang Hua himself did not say where he visited, but some footprints still allow people to guess the scope of his travels.

The last place is where Wang Hua passed through in the blood camp, including the westernmost Tuqishi, the northernmost near the Qalun River, and Youzhou and other places.In Fengzhou, the banner is the largest. In fact, Wang Hua's official position at that time was also his highest until now.Then after returning to Luoyang, the flag stickers became smaller again.But the last time, in Bianzhou, the flag became bigger again.But it is not as big as it was in Toyosu.

There is a reason for this.Now that Wang Hua has got this weird, procrastinating ambassador to come out, except for a few people, the rest of the people don't know how many years of power Wang Hua has.But the ambassador belongs to the ambassador, which is a temporary position, and Wang Hua's official position is still a bachelor of the Zhaowen Museum.Of course, this position has great power and has the right to intervene in many affairs of the seventeen states, and these seventeen states are all one of the most important states in the Tang Dynasty, such as Luozhou, which is also among the seventeen states.

It doesn't mean that Wang Hua has no real power in Fengzhou. He controls [-] elite soldiers and moves around the country at will. At one time, all important officials looked at him sideways, so he has much more power than Wang Hua now.

It can also be seen that this Baiting has worked hard on it.

Not only that, but there are many manuscripts on the bookshelf, looking through, almost all the poems and articles written by Wang Hua have been excerpted by her.

After finishing drawing the little red flag, she sighed, Huazhou was also the place where the flood was the worst, but Wang Hua went south to Bianshui from Zhengzhou and went to Bianzhou.

There was a burst of laughter from outside the house, Baiju came in, looked at her and said: "I said silly girl, don't think about it, we don't have that fate. Besides, Miss Mu and Miss Li don't say what they look like. He is also versatile and comes from a noble family background."

"I'm not thinking about it, I'm just curious," Bai Ting didn't admit, and immediately rolled up the map.Then hold the clothes to the pole to cool in the air.But she always felt that Bai Ju's tone of voice was weird today.

It has rained a lot, and the clothes have a slippery and sticky smell.

Sure enough, Baiju followed her, but her smile was suppressed and her brows were frowned.

These two people usually have a good relationship, Bai Ting asked: "I said sister, what happened?"

"I want to borrow money from you."

"Borrow, how much?" Bai Ting asked with an expression he had expected.

"Borrow three hundred coins." Bai Ju said hesitantly.

"What are you borrowing so much money for?" Bai Ting asked in amazement.Besides, she is not the most popular lady, she is half red and half green, and the old bustard usually keeps her under tight custody, so she can only accumulate some wealth by relying on rewards from customers, but she can't come up with three hundred coins.

"This time it's life-saving money. Come on, I have a good thing here." As she spoke, she took out a notebook from her pocket, which was densely copied.It is the Wang version of "Dream of Red Mansions" that Wang Hua told Lao Wu.

But this book was recorded by Shangguan Xiaowan with several female secretaries, and it was spread outside the palace step by step. Wang Hua talked about it for 38 chapters, Bai Ting only got the first 28 chapters, and Bai Ju took out this version and only reached [-] chapters. .

Bai Ting immediately snatched it over, opened it and looked it up, the handwriting was very scribbled because of the rush to copy it, but Bai Ting read it with great interest, especially in No. .

After Bai Ting read it, she was stunned, as if Wang Hua wrote it in her heart, tears kept streaming down her face.

After a long time, she came back to her senses and asked Bai Ju, "What do you need so much money for?"

"It's not my second brother. He lost money in gambling, borrowed usurious money, and even pressed his fingerprints. If he doesn't pay back, these people will arrest my fourth younger sister, fifth younger sister, and sixth younger brother as slaves."

"I know it's that younger brother of yours again, I've said it earlier, you can't save him." Bai Ting said angrily.After thinking about it, he asked again: "Your second brother is in debt, why are they arresting your fourth younger sister, fifth younger sister and sixth younger brother?"

Bai Ju had tears in her eyes, then wiped them with a handkerchief and said, "It was my second brother who tricked my parents into being illiterate, and tricked them into drawing a bet."

Bai Ting stomped his feet and said: "Sister, I said that you will be killed by your second brother sooner or later. Tsk tsk, three hundred guan."

Is the money easy for them?It's not the most popular ladies and gentlemen, the guests are holding it, and the bustard is coaxing.They are all some humiliating money and frivolous money earned by real deals.Besides, Bai Ju opened her mouth as if she borrowed three hundred guan, one can imagine how much her second brother owed this time.Far more than three hundred guan.

While talking, Bai Ting opened the drawer with a key, and took out some scraps of silver and a few strings of copper coins from the drawer, but the total amount was only about two hundred coins.Bai Ting shook his head and said, "This is all my savings."

"But it's still not enough," Bai Ju said eagerly.

"I said sister, it's not that I won't help you, you still loaned me thirty pennies, and you haven't paid it back yet." Bai Ting frowned, because he was a little angry, and he didn't care about Bai Ju's feelings, and said it directly.

Bai Ju knelt down at Bai Ting's feet and said, "I beg you."

If it was better in the past, labor is in short supply now, especially when some big families have bought a lot of land in the Western Regions, and the court has just changed from old to new, government orders are changing, and people's hearts are unstable.Therefore, the phenomenon of disappearance and human trafficking occurs from time to time.This time it was a natural and man-made disaster. Many families were washed away by the flood, so some traffickers rushed over like a fly.At this time, it becomes a part of slaves and servants. God knows where the relatives will be sent to in the end?

Bai Ting frowned and said: "It's not that I won't help you. If this continues, sooner or later I will be dragged into the water by you."

This is not the first time she has borrowed money from herself, because her second brother likes to gamble, and occasionally wins and spends it lavishly. Money to pay debts.

In order to help her second brother, she borrowed almost all the kind-hearted girls in the workshop.

In the end, it turned out to be wrong, and if things continued like this, it would get worse, and she might pay off the debt for the rest of her life, so she stopped lending to her altogether.Now she begged herself to ask herself to borrow money from other sisters.

It's not that I don't want to help, three hundred guan today and three thousand guan tomorrow, how can I help?Can't help!
"Sister Bai Ting, it's just this time."

"How many times have I heard this sentence?" Bai Ting returned the handwritten copy to Bai Ju. She didn't know where she got it from. Although he wanted to read it carefully and see it first, he didn't dare to read it. He couldn't bear it. rise.

She handed the money to Bai Ju, took out some jewelry, and said, "This is all my belongings. We sisters can only help you so much. If there are other gaps, you can find other ways. "

Baiju Haotao burst into tears.

Bai Ting even made her cry until her heart softened, but she really couldn't help. Sooner or later, she would sink to a certain depth, not only Bai Ju couldn't help herself, but she would also be deeply involved with herself or those close to her.For example, I will become impoverished immediately, and it is impossible to expect Bai Ju to pay off the debt.

Why are men in this world so ugly?Sure enough, they are all made of mud, and they are full of turbidity.Thinking of this, she looked at the south, maybe only that one person was an exception.

When one of the two girls was crying, and the other looked unbearable, the old bustard ran upstairs and said, "Bai Ting, get ready to wash up and meet the guests. And you, Bai Ju, don't give up the number, and dress up too."

Serious business matters, the two girls immediately washed and dressed up, but the old bustard saw Bai Ju's sad face and said angrily: "You are trying to scare the guests away with such a dead face. Let me tell you, if you don't send me today Take care of the guests, you all go into the firewood room."

Bai Ju had no choice but to force a smile on her face. If she entered the woodshed, she would have no source of income.

After finishing grooming after a while, the old bustard took them to Xiahe Courtyard, and told them worriedly: "I tell you, these two are distinguished guests, and they took over Xiahe Courtyard when they came in. If the service is not good, my lady I'm going to fight you hard."

In fact, the best courtyards of Qiufei Baiyufang are not Xiahe courtyards, but Qiuxiang courtyards, Feiling courtyards, Bailian courtyards, and Yushi courtyards, and then the four courtyards of Chuntao, Xiahe, Qiuju, and Dongmei.In addition to these eight courtyards, there are other small courtyards.

Of course, Qiufei Baiyufang is also the largest brothel and hook-up place in Huazhou, otherwise it would be impossible to have so many courtyards to entertain guests.Although the first four courtyards were not contracted, but the rear four courtyards were contracted, and the shots were equally extraordinary.

But Bai Ting asked suspiciously: "Where are the girls from Yuzi?"

Since it is a big guest, the most popular girls of the younger generation should be sent to receive them, and it is not their turn to be of the younger generation.

"They are all released today, so don't ask too many questions, just go in, and don't make the guests wait impatiently." The old bustard pushed the door open while talking.

It's all outside, what kind of distinguished guest came to Huazhou?Bai Ting walked in, thinking perplexedly.

Walking into Xiahe Courtyard, Bai Ting saw two young people sitting in the middle, one young man looked imposing and imposing, with an extraordinary demeanor.There was also a young man with a thin face, and she could tell at a glance that he was filled with a dignified aura.

There are more than a dozen people standing beside them. There are two young boys who look like a woman. The other dozen big men exude a fierce aura, with horizontal knives hanging from their waists.

Bai Ting and Bai Ju bowed to salute: "My servant Bai Ju and Bai Ting have seen the two young gentlemen."

The thin young man immediately shouted angrily to the old bustard: "The best maid in your Qiufei Baiyufang is not a jade-born, why are you fooling us with two white-borns!"

As he spoke, he frowned, obviously the looks of Bai Ting and the others didn't catch his attention.

The old bustard said with a smile: "You two gentlemen, let me listen to the old slave. Today is a special situation. The imperial envoys from the imperial court came to Huazhou. When they come back after serving the imperial envoys, let them all serve the two gentlemen. .”

Who knew it would be fine if she didn't mention it, but when she mentioned it, the young man's eyes became more angry, and just as he was about to get angry again, the young man at the side stopped him.The young man sat down indignantly.

Bai Ting looked at these two youths coldly, which gave her a strange feeling.Obviously this thin young man is sitting in the chair, but it seems that another burly young man of the same age is more in charge.

The thin young man sat down with a cold snort.

Similarly, the procuress also wiped off her sweat, her eyesight is a bit better than Bai Ting's, although she doesn't know the origins of the two young men, but there is a kind of air about them, the origins may be very important.

She didn't dare to offend, so when she saw the two sitting down one after another, she immediately said cautiously: "Then the old slave will leave."

Give a big gift and leave.

At the same time, the maids in Qiu Fei Bai Yufang immediately served tea and fruits, Bai Ting and Bai Ju looked at each other and said to them: "What do you two gentlemen want to do as slaves?"

The young man wanted to sarcastically again, but he looked at the young man beside him, held back a sigh of relief and said, "You guys can come up with some little tunes."

"Of order," Bai Ting bowed in response.She suddenly had an idea and remembered the burial poems she had just read, so she ordered a maid to bring a guqin and sing while playing it.Bai Ju dances to the sound of her piano.

The thin young man let out a "huh" and said to the burly young man, "It spread to Huazhou so soon?"

After hearing his words, Bai Ting judged that they just came from Luoyang.She saw the burly young man pressing his fingers again, and the thin young man smiled knowingly after seeing his action.

This made her feel weird, and there seemed to be something mysterious about these two people.

The young man took a sip of tea, and said again: "Erlang, this girl can play Ruyi's zither quite well, and she can't sing too well, but she can listen to it."

Bai Ting was furious, but what should he do?He has a high vision, and I have never been in his eyes from the beginning, let alone my current singing skills.But she heard the young man continue to say: "But that girl, is this a dance? An old lady can dance better than her. Is this small place in Huazhou just like this?"

Bai Ju almost froze when she heard this, but she didn't dare to refute it.But she was very preoccupied today, and she really didn't dance well.

But to Bai Ting's relief, the burly young man said: "Da Lang, we're not here to have fun."

"Erlang, Gu, let it go, I know."

But this burly young man clapped his hands to make them stop, and then asked Bai Ju, "Your name is Bai Ju, I think you seem to have something on your mind today?"

When Baiju heard this, she burst into tears and told the story.This is a big customer that they can't usually serve. If they arouse their sympathy, just throw a hundred pennies at random, and the crisis will be resolved immediately.

The burly young man twitched his eyebrows and said gently, "You can ask your parents to sue."

The laws of the Tang Dynasty prohibited human trafficking. Of course, this was a society where the rule of man was greater than the rule of law. For example, General Guo Yuanzhen also did human trafficking when he was young.Afterwards, there was no minister who pulled Guo Yuanzhen's tail on this matter.

But it is the rule of man, the deceitful nature of this kind of behavior is obvious, no parent would use other children to pay off debts in order to satisfy their unfilial son who gambled.

It is not ruled out that this fan deliberately made up this story to defraud them of their money.He hasn't reached the point where his sympathy is overflowing, bitches are ruthless, actors are ungrateful, there are too many such things.

"Where to report?" Bai Ju was at a loss when she heard this, she had never had such an idea at all.

The young man pondered for a while and said, "Well, let's go to your house to have a look."

"Then I would like to thank Mr. Erlang for your great kindness," Bai Ju immediately knelt down to thank him.

But Bai Ting saw the thin young man's mouth open, and finally said: "We are here to deal with business, isn't this bad?"

But the burly young man said: "Da Lang, we came here on purpose to see more and listen more, otherwise we will never try to calm this turmoil. I don't believe you can watch it in two days, there will be more things."

The thin young man looked suspicious, but he still agreed without saying a word.

After the two finished talking, they immediately asked Bai Ting and Bai Ju to lead them to set off to Bai Ju's house.

Along the way, I saw many people fleeing to the city, huddled in ragged clothes, in various streets, staring blankly at the sky.The thin young man covered his nose with his hands from time to time.The burly young man's expression became depressed.

Arrived at Baiju's house, this is the slum area of ​​Huazhou.Bai Ju pushed the door open, and several people rushed in.

Baiju's family was poor, and there were only a few simple pieces of furniture in the house, because the rainy season had just ended, and there was a musty smell and some pungent medicinal smells.The thin young man couldn't help covering his nose.

The burly young man laughed and said, "Da Lang, this is the living environment of ordinary people. I also grew up in this environment for a long time when I was young."

When Bai Ting heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up.

But her eyes immediately dimmed, this was her whimsy.The idol in her heart has already arrived in Bianzhou, let alone come to the brothel, and even rented a large courtyard to live in.

But she didn't understand again, this burly young man with extraordinary aura must not be from an ordinary family.Or he was born in poverty, and then gained fame through Chunwei.At his age, even if he passed the Jinshi examination, he would be nothing more than a small eighth or ninth rank official when released.

Of course, if it's her idol, everything can be explained.

This made her feel even more puzzled.

PS: Many people said that I abused the Lord, and I was wronged.This book is about Xiaohua's growth process from a commoner to the point where she is playing tricks on the world.But it’s not just a matter of being talented. For example, whether Liu Bowen has the talent to make Lao Zhu kill Qingtian.Think about it, everyone, if you have a religious power like Zhang Jiao, with an income of millions of dollars a year, plus the courage and resourcefulness of the protagonist, what will happen.This book is still far from the end, don't worry, besides, Xiaohua is only very old.look down.This volume has already begun to turn.
