Chapter 238 Wuling Boys Fight for Heads (Part 1)
Outside Yanzhi Hutong, several carriages and sedans had been parked early. Because of the Flying Tiger Regiment and the Wuwei Rear Army, many large mansion gates were robbed. Even if they escaped by chance, they would not dare to go out at this time. This place was far less lively than before. However, as the news of Cuiyu's marriage and staying guests came out, there were still a few bold and generous people. They first went to the Flying Tiger Regiment to communicate and then came at risk, with the intention of picking up bargains.
Near Yanzhi Hutong, a team of troops from the rear army entrenched in a small restaurant, and the one who led the troops was a supervisor. His task today was extremely simple, which was to escort Cheng Lan. If someone dared to rob the Cuiyu girl with Duke Lan, they would rush to Fengyi's squad and drag the ignorant person out to kill him. Anyway, there is an excuse to kill foreigners, and Cheng Lan can still suppress one or two lives.
During the day, he failed in Xiyuan and was scolded by the empress dowager. Cheng Yi was so angry that he was furious that he returned home and smashed a bunch of things and scolded the street for a long time. Chenglan didn't care. It was of course the best for his own nephew to be the emperor, but even if he couldn't become the emperor, he would not lose much and still be his 80th-century Duke.
This title is actually not very valuable in the Jin Dynasty royal family. It is an idle person and lives a very tight life. However, because of the Feihu Regiment in Beijing, some royal families were also victimized. The royal families in power may be robbed or implicated, and they all deliberately kept a low profile. Chenglan became more and more arrogant because of his good relationship with the Feihu Regiment and the Wuwei Right Army.
The former used the excuse of beating Beitang to confiscate Yang Lishan's home. Not only did he avenge the love he was taken away, but he also swept away Lishan's savings and moved Yang's house into an empty shell. After a few stolen goods, the money he shared was close to 200,000, which made his pockets suddenly bulge. Some things he wanted to do but did not dare to do in the past, but now he dared.
Originally, Yang Cuiyu was able to protect her body in Beijing because of the relationship between the ten princes, which was implicated in Qingdi; and the other was because of Zhang Tong's care. Everyone had to talk about a cost. It was obviously not worth the loss for the two families to be guilty of a woman.
But now King Qing retired and left all his missions, and he became a useless person. Some people even speculated that he had lost his curtains and suffered from disaster. Zhang Tong was far away in Guangdong and Guangxi, and the whip was beyond reach, so Chenglan stretched out his hand to Yang Cuiyu.
If Yanzhi Hutong can survive in such a chaotic world, it is necessary to look at the face of the Flying Tiger Group. Chenglan insists that Yang Cuiyu gets out of the cabinet, but Fengyi's mom can't stop him. If he hates Mr. Lan, within half a day, the Flying Tiger Group will come to catch the Ermao, and it will be a dead end at that time.
He thought of Yang Cuiyu's beauty, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He took off his public uniform and changed into a Ningshi robe, covered with a six-department spring satin jacket, and emerald ring on his hand, which was snatched from Yang Lishan's mansion. Several followers echoed and went to have a flower wine. He wanted to invite a few more friends. One of the listeners asked, "Master, who will we invite today?"
Chenglan thought for a while, "You, go to Qingdi to invite Mr. Zhen. You can still play with him. Others are afraid that they will not dare to come out on this day. Oh, by the way, go to the Houjun barracks and invite Li Laizhong, the military advisor next to Dong Wuxing. That person is interesting and speaks nicely. I like to chat with him."
When the sedan chair came outside Yanzhi Hutong, Chenglan lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and looked out, "One, two, three... Okay, there are still brave people, five people dare to compete for jade from me. Dele, today is the one, who loves who is who, and who dares to make me unhappy today, I will make him unhappy. Come! Send a letter to the horse manager of the rear army and the senior brother Zhao of the Flying Tiger Regiment, let their people be prepared, and the others are walking with me."
On the second floor of Fengyi Class, after the madam drove all the servants out, she knelt in front of Yang Cuiyu, "Girl, we have a mother and daughter together. You know, there is a noble man who wants to pick your flower. I am going to keep you to this day, but I really have no choice. Now in Beijing, there is such a situation. Who can provoke you? I know that you have someone in your heart, but... this industry is such a business. You have to think about it. Anyway, if he has you in his heart, he will not be broken with you because of this. On the other hand, if he really cares about this, you two will not be able to get together. As long as you help your mother pass today's level, I promise you that in three years, I will let you redeem yourself."
Yang Cuiyu carefully dressed up in front of the glass mirror, as if she was a bride who was about to leave the house, carefully dressing herself to the most beautiful. The jewelry on her head was given by the ten princesses at the time, and she was perfect. On a chain hanging around her neck, there was a round and transparent pearl in the middle, which was particularly eye-catching.
She carefully wiped the rouge on her face, making her face look pink, which was neither vulgar but also added color. She turned around and smiled at the madam, "Mom, you should get up and talk. It's not in accordance with the rules. I know your difficulties, so didn't make a fuss today?"
"Cuiyu, I'm looking forward to you crying and making trouble. In this industry, I've been crying for half my life, and I've seen more and more, and it's easier to deal with it in the end. The more you are like this, the less I feel. I don't know what you are going to do. I beg you, our Fengyi class, dozens of lives are in your palms. You can't just take care of yourself and ignore others. In fact... In fact, even if you serve Mr. Lan, when Mr. Zhao comes, as long as he doesn't know, there will always be a way to fool him."
The madam knew that as long as she accompanied Chenglan, there was no reason not to spread it. Moreover, since she was married, she could only accept customers and would be exposed. However, she was afraid that Yang Cuiyu would go to the extreme, so she had to use this to coax her.
"Actually, if the woman Mr. Lan is thinking about, if he gets the soup, he will be hated by him. You know what kind of power his family is now. Maybe even the emperor in the future will be his nephew. Such a person will not be able to mess with him. Anyway, he will not ask you to be his concubine, so he will fulfill his wish. You two have no relationship. You will live with Lord Zhao in the future and save him from causing trouble. In our industry, there are many people who are small, but who doesn't take a few years of guests and then go to live with friends? Like Su San, who can only be seen in the plays, and they can't meet them in the world."
"Cuiyu, I also say something about heart-to-heart talk to you. Men are unreliable. You are good now, and Zhao Guanhou has feelings for you. When you get older, he will not like you. So when I listen to my words, **** is fake, only gold and silver are real. After entering this industry, that's the case. Fool those men, accumulate a fortune for themselves, wait for a bucket of worries in the future, get him tens of thousands of taels of silver, and then go to be a good person. If he treats you well, you will live with him. If you are not good to you, you will have money to defend yourself. If you do stupid things for a man, you will be too sorry for yourself."
Yang Cuiyu helped the madam up and pushed out, "You should go quickly. You don't talk so much. Today I talk too much. I didn't have any ideas in my mind, but you almost talked about it. Isn't that the case? Since I entered this industry, I have known that there is nothing I can't think about this day. If you have time to grind my teeth with me, it's better to support the outside first. Mr. Lan is a person who is not good at serving outside, so he will get angry."
When the madam went out, Yang Cuiyu closed the door with her backhand, but she took out an extremely sharp short blade from the bottom of the dressing table and carefully put it into her sleeve.
She smiled slightly into the distance and hummed gently. "Mother should not be too biased. The root cause of the daughter's words: Since ancient times, it is said that it is good, and daughter's innocence is the first priority..." The eyes were full of determination.
Chenglan entered the yard and had a teapot to entertain him. He brought his followers with him, even the tea leaves were brought by himself, and the servants in the class brought the fruit plates. But the fruits inside were not new. Chenglan frowned and said, "What are you doing with me, Master San, as a way? Just take this fruit? Go and call your servants in charge and ask him, how do you eat this thing?"
"Mr., don't bother you. How dare you treat you too slowly. But there is one thing that is, now that farmers from all towns and towns are not very much entering the city. It is difficult to see fresh fruits and vegetables. Even if we buy them with money, they can't buy them. This little thing is specially bought for you at a high price. You are just a veteran."
"Bah! How can this thing be settled!" Cheng Lan angrily threw a rotten peach away. "Don't worry, I'll stay here tonight, and I'll send you a few baskets of fresh fruits. As long as the jade is served well, you can guarantee that you will have nothing to do, whether it's the rear army or the Flying Tiger Regiment, who dares to make trouble with you? Let's say something to me, and I'll do it. By the way, who are the rooms next to you?"
"Oh, there is Master Wang Si around Han Zhongtang, Master Na of the Ministry of Revenue, Master Yingda from the Ministry of Works of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Master Jiang from the Censorate."
Chenglan knew at first that these people were regular customers of the fines in the capital and were considered to be among the same people as him. Most of them didn’t have much money and didn’t have to care about it. The only thing they needed to consider was Xiaonanaqinxuan, the Ministry of Revenue. People are both poetic and songs, and their hands are very broad and they are very long. They are very welcome guests of these Qinglou women. It is not easy to compete with him for women.
However, with Yang Lishan's incident in front of him, Xiao Na has always been obedient and should not have made friends with him for Yang Cuiyu. He handed the fruit plate over to "Send this fruit plate to those rooms, so that it is my Chenglan's happy day today, so that they all enjoy the joy."
A girl like Yang Cuiyu, who is married, is the same as an ordinary family, who is married to a daughter. Once a good candidate is selected, the house will be closed for three days and only serve this guest. Of course, all the expenses will be borne by the guest. However, in other aspects, they are the same as normal marriage, which is called a great joy, which means that they are determined to win and hope that others will give up when they see the difficulties.
No one wanted to offend Cheng Lan at this storm. They all said perfunctory words to express their joy, saying that they were just joining the fun and had no malice. Only Wang Jixun did not move, holding the silver note of ten thousand taels tightly in his hand, closing his mouth tightly, and without saying a word.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Cuiyu walked downstairs and came to the yard. Since she had not yet determined which house she had fallen, she didn't go to any house and just stood in the yard. The guests from each room ordered operas or sings, whether it was a Peking opera or a lotus flower, and they sang afterwards. She couldn't sing a few words, just to give face, and then she fought for money. In the end, the price was the highest, and everyone talked only by money.
Na Qinxuan and others didn't want to make things difficult for Chengzhen, so they just took a plate of money and ordered something randomly when they ordered the singing. Chengzhen had arrived in Chenglan's house, but Li Laizhong discussed with Dong Wuxing that things could not be left. The person who came was a subordinate named Qin Wei beside him. Although Li Laizhong was a confidant, he was only skilled in martial arts and was not good at talking. He was not very popular with Chenglan, so he only talked to Chengzhen.
Cheng Lan didn't know yet, so he missed their news and invited Zhao Guanhou to the palace to Cheng Zhen, who still treated the other party as a good friend. He pointed to Yang Cuiyu in the yard and said, "Mr. Zhen, you should make a play today."
Cheng Zhen looked at Yang Cuiyu, thinking about what the ten princess told him before leaving, and tried to protect Cuiyu as much as possible. When Zhao Guanhou arrived, he would hide as far as possible, and then looked at Chenglan and thought to himself: You are 80% unlucky today. He said, "This is your great joy today. I think it's not appropriate to make the adjustment?"
"What's wrong with this? We brothers don't tell each other. Who says it's different? You, Mr. Zhen, is a playboy. He is always with Shanyi. It's natural to make an offer."
"That's it... I just said, "Is it right?" Mr. Lan, don't be upset. I think, come to Duan Zhuangzu Media."
Cheng Lan raised his finger and said, "Forget it, you would have to order a play. This play is great, but it's a pity. The top scorer hasn't come now, so I'm so mute. Just order the top scorer media!"
While he was speaking, he had already taken out two silver notes, each of which was fifty taels. The teapot called out the number, and Chenglan smiled, "How much money can a telegram student Wang Sishou have? Feed the mouth below Cuiyu, so don't eat his own mouth above. Besides, with his physique, I think it will be hard to feed the mouth below."
The silent Qin Wei said, "Wang Jixun, you have money."
Chenglan glanced at him, "Stay there! Did I let you talk? There are no rules, how much money can he have with me? Let me see, what can he do."
At this time, the teapot outside was already shouting, "Mr. Wang Si's reward of 500 yuan, and order a section of Hongni Pass for the big girl."
You know, this is just staying overnight, not redeem yourself. Even if the Qing Gong goes to the sea, it is not considered the subsequent expenses. Just staying overnight, two or three hundred silver is enough. Five hundred taels of silver is a big deal to destroy the market. Cheng Zhen and Cheng Lan are both regular customers who are rolling in the fan array, and they have never had such a big head wrapped around. Cheng Lan glared at Qin Wei, "It's your broken mouth!"
The two-step yelled at each other, and in a short while, the price had increased to 3,000. This was enough to redeem a woman. The madam was both happy and afraid, fearing that if she was perfunctory today, she would have a life of life, and the business would not be done.
Chengzhen said, "Donald Lan, at this time, we can't shrink back. If we lose face, we won't come out in the future. We can't get the money together, and I'll take it with you if we don't get it together."
How could Chenglan be so excited? A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Mr. Zhen, you have brought your money yourself, I don't need anyone now, I will do it myself." But I grabbed a silver note from the purse. "Six thousand taels plus an emerald ring, I will click this top scorer. Who dares to grab me today, I will smash his leg!"
The value of his emerald ring is more than 5,000 yuan. Even if Wang Jixun poured out his gold, he would not make up for this amount. He felt his heart sinking. Looking at Yang Cuiyu from the room, he felt that the beauty glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally. There was both infinite affection and grievance in it.
He felt ashamed of being a man, and could not spend this good night with his sweetheart. He slapped the table suddenly, got out of the table, came to the yard and pointed at Chenglan's room, "Chenglan, wait for me!"
"What, my Simao Wang, can you still want to practice?" Chenglan held a cigarette in his hand and crossed his legs, looking at Wang Jixun with a sneer.
"Mr. Wang Si, this is a joke place. If you can't play, don't come. If you can't, grab a woman from Chenglan, you are the only one? Let's go quickly and see if there is no third-class class that has not been lanterned, and you can still borrow a shop. Cuiyu, don't pay attention to him and start singing. The person who comes to take the huqin, Mr. Zhen is addicted to drama, and he wants to set strings for Miss Cuiyu."
Chengzhen's singer is very famous in Sijiu City, even famous actors can serve him. As the huqin sounds, the beautiful sound like a yellow oriole in the valley echoes in the courtyard. "Since that day, I met Liulang in front of the formation, and I was restless and lingering in my mood..."
Seeing Yang Cuiyu's eyes circulating, her delicate and charming look, Wang Jixun thought of such a wonderful person, and would later let Yu Chenglan go to his entertainment. He felt that his eyes were dark, and he staggered, gritted his teeth and lowered his head forward. Although the person left the yard, the lyrics seemed to be echoing in his ears.
When he left Yanzhi Hutong, he had just walked a few steps but almost hit the person. The man pushed him, "The walkway was a little more eye-catching."
Wang Jixun looked up and wanted to curse back, but saw that what came in front of him was a team of soldiers with neat looks. Judging from the military uniforms, it was not the rear army of the Wuwei Army. In the middle of the team was a Western white horse, tall and strong, with a snow-white body. One person was about twenty years old and handsome, wearing a pure gold armor cover at the finger of his left hand. Behind him, a large flag with a character named Zhao fluttered in the wind.
The number of this group was over 100. The man who opened the way pushed Wang Jixun and the troops advanced quickly. Wang Jixun just leaned against the wall, watching the team pass by him and headed straight for Fengyi squad. A little further away, outside the small restaurant, the people left by the Wuwei Rear Army were all disarmed and were not allowed to move. Outside, there were two gunmen in the shed, aiming at them, ready to shoot at any time.
