"What does that family named Hou do for a living?"
When asked about this, Lan Xiang knew very well that this unruly "guardian" had nothing to do with the fairy. The family treasures have a great relationship. I must have seen that screen playing and singing with my own eyes. He has a great background and is definitely not an ordinary person!
Her eyes flashed and she said with a smile: "Mr., has it been possible that you have seen the family heirloom of the Hou Mansion?"
Wei Shiqi was noncommittal, "What is your wish? Let me tell you. , maybe I can help."
Lan Xiang is not a newcomer to the industry. She knows a lot about people and people. She knows that if she is not sure, she will offend the other party. Hua Manlou can't protect herself, but the opportunity to escape from the sea of suffering is right in front of her, so there's no way she's willing to miss it!
Thoughts were spinning in her mind, and she said with a smile on her face: "Mo Chou, go to the kitchen and order some more food and wine."
The maid in green saw the dishes on the table were messy, and a pot The four dishes of wine and appetizers were swept away by the young master. He secretly felt funny in his heart. Mr. Zhou came to this painting boat. He was polite, reciting poems and painting. But if it were these two, he would actually drink and eat without any scruples. . He immediately agreed and went to the kitchen downstairs to give instructions.
Lan Xiang dismissed the maidservant and bowed to Wei Shiqi Yingying, saying: "The slave family is sold into this flower-filled building. It is really no choice. If you are determined to pull the slave family out of the sea of suffering, I am willing to serve you and help you." "A slave is a maid."
It is reasonable that she wants to redeem herself. Wei Shiqi pondered for a moment and asked: "How much are you worth?"
Lan Xiang gritted her teeth. He said: "Master Zhou asked someone before, and the master asked for three thousand gold."
Wei Shiqi glanced at Qingming and felt a little moved. Qingming waved his hand and said, "This is your business. , I don’t care, if you want money, ask Chongjiu, it’s useless to take it back anyway.”
“Okay, I’ll give you three thousand gold.”
Lan Xiang saw that he regarded money. Like dung, he was determined in his heart and said anxiously: "The slave family does not want gold and silver. The slave family is willing to serve the master as a slave and a maid."
Qingming burst out laughing, patted the table and said: "People I have fallen in love with you, you are destined to be a peach blossom, you can't hide away!"
Wei Shiqi frowned unconsciously. He was very indifferent to women. Although Lan Xiang has outstanding appearance, It's not in his heart either. It's troublesome to have such a person around him. To use strong words, it goes against his true intention.
The room fell silent for a while, Lan Xiang was uneasy, thinking about her life experience, arousing sadness, lamenting that her body was like duckweed, but depending on the fate, it moved east, west, north, south, north, south, west and east, I don’t know where. It's a destination.
After pondering for a moment, Wei Shiqi suddenly asked: "How is her bones?"
Qingming jumped off the chair, walked around Lanxiang, and gently touched her shoulder. Pressing it, he said with a smile: "Good luck, she is born with two orifices. Where do you plan to place her?"
"Let's put her in Xiandu first, and we will talk about it later
."< /p>
After listening to the exchange between the two, Lan Xiang was not interested. She bowed several times, stood up and said proactively: "The Marquis of Luocheng is a family of officials, and the name of Lord Hou isYing, an official in the capital, is said to be a second-rank official in the Ministry of Husbandry. He has three sons. The eldest son, Hou Jiangdong, was married to the slave family and later married the daughter of the minister of the Ministry of Personnel. The second son, Hou Jiangbo, studied abroad since he was a child. , I have never met, the third young master died young, if the young master goes to Luocheng to visit the Marquis Mansion, the slave family is willing to introduce him to him. "
Hearing the name of Hou Jiangdong and Hou Jiangbo, Wei Shiqi's heart moved and he waved his hands and said: "Don't mention this matter again. "
Lan Xiang was slightly startled, not knowing that that sentence violated a taboo.
While talking, the maid Mochou brought a boy in and offered two jugs of wine. With four plates of food and drinks, Wei Shiqi ordered the young man to call Chongjiu and the owner of the boat. After a while, the two came to the house. Wei Shiqi didn't waste any time and said straightforwardly: "Today my young master redeems Lan Xiang's life, Chongjiu, Do you have three thousand gold in your body? ”
“Yes! "Chongjiu said nothing. He took out a stack of silver notes and ten ingots of gold from his arms, counted them and pushed them to the owner of the boat.
"This...this...my master, little You can't make the decision! "The owner of the boat was dazzled by the gold. He also knew Lan Xiang's worth, but the matter was so serious and the owner wouldn't let go. How could he dare to act on his own.
"This is easy to do. Just dock the boat. , bring the ransom money, Chongjiu will go with you to Huamanlou to find someone who can make the decision, and bring back Lan Xiang’s deed of sale. We’ll wait on this boat. ”
The owner of the boat felt relieved. This young master of mine was very wealthy and had an extraordinary background. As a steward who looked after the boat, he couldn’t afford to offend him. He immediately withdrew with a smile on his face and ordered the boatman to pull the boat closer. He secretly ordered a young man to go to Huamanlou to report the news, and mobilize a team of guards to guard the boat, so as not to lose both people and money. After making arrangements, he led Zhongjiu to Huamanlou.
Lan Xiang thanked her a lot, put on some makeup, served them wine and food, played the piano and sang songs, doing everything she could to be gentle and gentle. When Mo Chou saw that she had found a place, he was quite envious, but once she came to serve Lan Xiang. The time was not long and the relationship was still shallow. Secondly, the smiling "my young master" could not figure out his background. If he was a swindler, he would end up losing his life, so she did not dare to ask Lan Xiang.
Qingming and Wei Shiqi were drinking and chatting, talking about the customs and customs of Tonglu Town. Unexpectedly, the east was bright, and a red sun rose from the Ximin River, illuminating the sky and the earth.
Chongjiu returned to the painting boat proudly and presented Lan Xiang's deed of betrayal. Wei Shiqi took it and looked at it for a few times. It turned out that Lan Xiang's real name was Li, which was a good name. It reminded him of a certain person. It was a shocking rumor.
He burned the contract of betrayal in the candlelight and asked casually: "Is it going well? ”
Chongjiu chuckled and said, “Money attracts people’s hearts, but there are always those who don’t open their eyes. If you beat a dozen of them with your fists, everything will go smoothly.” "
"Did it hurt anyone's life? "
"No, no, at most I'll break an arm or a thigh or something, and I'll vomit a few liters of blood, it's not a big deal. ”
“That’s good, let’s go.” ”
Qingming picked up the wine bottle, drank it mouth to mouth, and burped: “Let’s go, let’s go.”, Chongjiu and I will go first, you go and do your business, catch up quickly! "
Wei Shiqi nodded and said to Lanxiang: "You don't need to bring anything, just come with me." ”
Lan Xiang originally planned to pack some gold and silver jewelry, but after hearing what he said, she hurriedly gathered her clothes to follow, for fear that if she missed a step, she would miss her whole life. --
