Chapter 450: A Scheming Woman

Chapter 450

"Then how do you open the vault?" the woman asked Yoyo as she looked down at the gilded voucher she was holding.

"Fool, this is the key to opening the small vault. Lao Ba stretched out his hand and scratched the woman's nose, and replied with a smile, "I have to say, the main home of the Tongda counter is really well designed, and even the keys are designed to be very different. ”

As he spoke, the eighth asked the woman to take a closer look at the gilded certificate, except for the totemic-like pattern on the front and back, there was not even a little text to prove the origin of the certificate, it was as delicate and ingenious as a finely carved work of art.

When the woman heard this, her eyes showed a little worry, and she replied softly: "Then if this thing is handed over to the slave family, won't it really cause you trouble?"

"Of course not, didn't you say that this voucher is the only thing that proves the identity of the owner of the small warehouse, so in whose hands, this small warehouse is leased by whom. The eighth smiled indifferently, took the wine glass, drank the wine in one gulp, and replied a little vaguely.

"I see. The woman breathed a sigh of relief, carefully put away the voucher closely, muttered with a smile, turned her head to look at the rising moon outside the window, and said softly, "It's so late, if you don't leave, I'm afraid you won't be able to enter the city in time!"

As one of the princes who wanted to take over the throne, although he dared to raise an outer room on the side of Nancheng with Guo Luoluo, a jealous woman, behind his back, he never dared to stay out for the night, and even exposed his identity to let the guards guarding the city miss the time to enter the inner city. He didn't dare to open the gate between the inner and outer cities, so even he was very reluctant to eat this bewitching woman, and he couldn't wait to eat her in his stomach in a moment. At this time, I can only endure silently.

Thinking of this, Lao Ba couldn't help but sigh with some regret, and reluctantly pinched the woman's soft twing, and said quietly: "I wanted to talk to you well, but I didn't think it was so late, so you should rest earlier!"

"Alright. Go back quickly, if you really want the slave family, it is better to accompany the slave family to walk outside the city tomorrow. The woman smiled and dropped a kiss on the face of the old eight. He also instructed the maid to hold incense and go around the eighth child a few times, dispelling the fragrance of her daughter left on the eighth child, and then she sent the eighth out of the courtyard with a shy face.

Returning to the upper room and sitting down, the woman waved her hand and motioned for a servant girl who was poking beside her to pick up all the leftovers on the table. Then he called another maidservant to bring hot water. So he went into the room and washed up.

The warm water sprinkled with flower dew, the fragrant fragrance was fragrant, and the servant girl who wanted to serve was retreated, and the tassel of disguise was removed, leaning weakly against the wall of the barrel, thinking about things with his eyes closed.

She is a poor person, Tassel thought, she and her sisters were sold to the theater garden by the scumbag father since they were children. After all the hard work, I finally achieved a small success. was bought by a nobleman to the capital again, thinking that the hard life was over, but he didn't want to fall into a new pit again.

That noble person is unimaginably noble, but he is also so cold that it makes people feel cold.

After two years of idleness in Beijing, that day, a white-faced and beardless man suddenly appeared, led her to a mansion as beautiful as the palace of heaven, and met the cold master.

From beginning to end, the man on top only asked her, "Are you willing to do something for your master?"

She is confused, how dare she say no.

That day was a turning point in her life, the deed of sale that she regarded as restraint and imprisonment turned into a ball of fire and disappeared without a trace, and then a bitter pill was delivered to her by the man.

From that day on, she became a sword and horse in a theater garden in Nancheng, not just a coincidence, but also deliberately arranged, she originally wanted not to be noticed, but she was discovered by an official who likes to listen to dramas, and sent to add fun to the eighth.

The day before she was sent to Lao Ba's mansion, she received a mysterious note.

On the note, there is only one sentence - to seek the favor of the eighth master.

In order to survive and get a better life, she didn't sleep all night thinking about how to get the attention of the eighth child, combined with the rumors in the market and the information given by the official who noticed her, she came up with an idea to sell it.

The so-called easier it is to get, the less it will be cherished, and it can only arouse his interest.

The next day, she excused herself not to want the eighth master to be criticized for her personal morality, and was only willing to stay outside and wait for the eighth master to come over, preferring to have no name and no points, rather than enter the house as a ninth-rate actor, and moved the eighth to a mess, not only did she not alienate her because of the distance, but she was even more worried about her, what delicious and fun, clothes and jewelry, she always picked the best and sent it, and specially arranged two secret guards with good kung fu to serve her in this house as maids.

She knew that these two maidservants were here to protect her and spy on her.

As the eighth prince of the prince, how can it be so easy to believe in a woman like her, fortunately, the man who let her come to the eighth didn't let her do anything, and she was happy to relax.

After coming and going, she was used to this kind of life.

The only thing that makes her feel regretful is that she doesn't have a partner who can tell the truth, but fortunately, she recently found a new place to pass the time, which is a teahouse at the junction of the outer city and the inner city - Yuehua Building, the teahouse rules, only accept female guests, and the guests are entertained inside, but also all female guys, and there is a stage on the other floor, there are female storytellers on the stage to tell stories, and there are dancing girls performing songs and dances every once in a while, which is very interesting.

The most important thing is that she can meet a lot of people who smell the same there.

I heard that tomorrow Yuehualou will arrange a troupe to sing Kunqu Opera, and her tactful singing is definitely her favorite, she can't miss it, as for going to the Tongda counter number to get the silver, she said that she doesn't need it recently, she still has one hundred and eighty taels of silver in her hand, if she doesn't buy new jewelry. It's enough for her to spend half a month.

Thinking of this, the tassel stood up from the water, "Peony." ”

"The slave is here. What's wrong with the girl?" Peony was one of the secret guards assigned to the tassel by the eighth child, and Peony knew that the tassel girl didn't like others to go in while she was bathing, so even if she heard the tassel calling her inside, she just stood at the door of the clean room and replied softly.

"You hurry up and go to Yuehua Tower, book me a private room, and I'm going to listen to the play tomorrow." The tassel wiped the water droplets on his body. While commanding.

"Then the slave and maid will go. Peony also knew that tassels were a hobby, but she didn't delay too long, and walked out after replying. Without even changing a piece of clothing, he rushed in the direction of Yuehua Tower.

And Jasmine, who was waiting beside the tassel for her peony, had already entered the clean room with a clean middle coat.

......

At the same time, there was already a mess in the Fourth Master's Mansion.

The Ulanara clan, who had already lost his hair and lay down. listened to Mama Fu's reply. Hurriedly got up, pulled up his long hair casually, and came to the west courtyard wrapped in a mink fur.

On the contrary, it was the fourth master, who was very calm, and he was delayed for half an hour before he came back.

"Looks like I'm in a hurry. As soon as the fourth master entered the courtyard gate, he saw Mama Huo, who was lying on the ground on the ground, and a few little palace maids kneeling next to her, with pale faces, and shook her head with a smile. Muttered softly.

Immediately, the fourth master glanced at Su Peisheng again. Instructed Su Peisheng to send those little palace maids back and don't kneel here, lest Erfu find out that they were tired and sick later, and blame herself when the time comes.

I have to say that no matter when, the fourth master is the guardian of Erfu, silently cleaning the little tail left behind for her.

For example, the big grandmother who took care of everything for her in the yard before, or the capable Yaoqin now, are all ruthless people found by the fourth master, and she and Concubine Tong Jia don't care about the bitter tricks they set, and in the end, the fourth master collected the end for them, but these things, Erfu doesn't know.

"Worried about Hongxuan?" said the fourth master with a smile.

Erfu was disturbing at this moment, when she saw the smiling face of the fourth master, her eyes were green with hatred, and she couldn't wait to bite him to death in a moment, if it weren't for the need for the fourth master to arrange people to find Hongxuan.

"Alright, those two fur monkeys, they'll be back in a moment. "It's not good if the joke is over, and the fourth master didn't really annoy Erfu, so he took Erfu's hand and walked into the east room, smiled lightly at the Wulanala clan who was also full of anxiety, and said loudly.

"Ahh

"You are really not responsible, the child has been out all day, and you didn't find out until the evening, and it's a shame that the master is not as confused as you, otherwise even if the master scatters all the people in the house, it is not easy to find two people in this huge capital. The fourth master stretched out his hand and tapped Erfu's head, as if he had counted it, but in fact he whispered mockingly.

"I'll just say that you won't leave it behind. Ulanara Bilf reacted first, and also quipped.

"The two children are accompanied by secret guards, just now when the master came over, he received the news, and he is coming back from the outer city at this time, to say that these two children are really bold, they actually ran out without even bringing a person, and ran to the most lively front door, and also learned from those literati and scholars to go to the peach blossom forest that became, and then missed the time to return to the city. The fourth master told Erfu the news that the secret guard had sent back in a few words, and then said with a serious face, "This time, the master is not allowed to protect them, and this matter must be punished severely. ”

"That's right, especially Hongxuan, who looks steady and steady on weekdays, how can he bring Xiao Qi so nonsense. Erph nodded in agreement.

"Xiao Qi is also at fault, she was originally an older sister, and she couldn't urge her younger brother to be motivated, so she followed her younger brother to mess around. Seeing Erfu protecting his daughter like this, the fourth master couldn't help but feel some sympathy for his son who should be valued, and hurriedly added.

"No, Xiao Qi is only a little bit bigger than Hongxuan, where can I control Hongxuan with such a big idea, sometimes, I feel that this Hongxuan is really too bold, and he is too spoiled by him, spoiled him lawlessly, how old is he to dare to sneak out of the house, if it is bigger, I am afraid that this huge capital will not be able to accommodate him." Erfu rolled his eyes at the fourth master and said coldly.

The Wulanala clan, who was watching the fourth master and Erfu arguing on the sidelines, shook his head helplessly, grabbed the two who were about to pinch each other again, and said in a low voice: "The child is fine, you two don't have infighting, let's eat a meal first." As he spoke, he pointed to the cold food in the hall, reminding the fourth master of the fact that Erfu had not eaten yet.

"I'm full. Erfu muttered depressedly, glared at the fourth master fiercely, turned his head and instructed Yaoqin and Guzheng to send the food to the back and hand it over to Xiaoshengzi Rere, "Sister Fujin has rested, and she has been tossed, it is better to rest with the brocade quilt first, wait a while, drink the hot soup to warm up, and then go back." ”

"Forget it, I won't sit with you, I'll go back first. Seeing that Erfu had given the order to evict the guest, the Ulanala clan smiled and waved his hand, and said softly.

"Take a bite together!" The fourth master raised his hand and pressed the Wulanala clan who was about to get up, and said softly, "This Honghui went to the palace to accompany Niangniang, I guess you haven't eaten this night!"

"Then the concubine will bother for a while. The Ulanala clan ignored the fourth master's question, nodded slightly, and replied with a smile.

Erfu just said casually, and did not mean to chase away the guests, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with what the Ulanala clan said, smiled and asked the guzheng to send hot tea and snacks over to pad his stomach, turned around and went into the inner room to get a quilt, and put it on the lap of the Ulanala clan, "Although it is spring now, the temperature is still low this night, and the charcoal stove in the house has been withdrawn, so don't catch a cold." ”

After saying that, he sent Guzheng to the small kitchen to pour a soup woman back, and handed it to the hands of the Ulanala clan, so that she could hold her to warm up.

"How can I be so squeamish. The Ulanala clan did not refuse Erf's kindness, smiled and accepted the soup woman sent by Erfu, muttered casually, and turned his head to talk to Erfu about homely things.

And the fourth master also went straight to the study of the west room, planning to take advantage of this time to practice calligraphy for a while.

"Hey, what is this?"

As soon as he sat down at the back of the bookcase, before Su Peisheng could roll up his sleeves for him, the fourth master noticed the data that Erfu had sketched and wrote before, and compared it to the book that was spread out one by one, and looked at it carefully.

Before, Erfu talked about the matter of the literary thief, although the fourth master seemed to be indifferent, but there were also waves in his heart, compared to Erfu's focus on these words, the fourth master's attention was on those four books and five classics that all students have one volume, if someone will sell the four books and five classics sold by the bookstore, and print them privately, the consequences will definitely be extraordinary.

Not only that, but there are also those so-called celebrity annotated books, which are the most worrying for the fourth master......
