After that, the old bustard clapped his hands and said:

"Tell Lian'er to come out."

After that, the two turtle slaves came from the back room accompanied by Lian'er, who was dressed in plain clothes. This woman who walked towards Lan Ziyi and them, with her steps and demeanor, although she bowed her head and her head, she did not have stage fright at all, she looked a little shy before she married a woman, and her coarse cloth clothes did not look shabby when she wore them, and she even looked a little quaint.

After this woman came to Lan Ziyi and said ten thousand blessings to them, Lan Ziyi finally saw Lian'er's face, this Lian'er seems to be a few years older than Yue'er, and her appearance is inferior, but she is still a top beauty, although her facial features are flawed when you look closely, but when you get together, there will be nothing at all next time, and there is no awkwardness at all, with her duck egg face, she can't tell that she is a Hongchen woman in the Fengyue Field. And Tao Zhuhu, who was standing next to Lan Ziyi, was looking at Lian'er affectionately at this time, almost unable to control himself.

As the old bustard spoke, Lan Ziyi subconsciously looked at a room behind him, and there seemed to be someone staring at Lan Ziyi, but this feeling was only for a moment, and the room was darkly lit, and it didn't look like a person.

Turning around, Lan Ziyi looked at the old bustard, this person was old and fat, extremely bloated, and thick vermilion powder, looking weird, looking like a piece of colorful fat that had been smeared, which was disgusting.

If you want to gain a firm foothold in front of this person, you really need concentration, Lan Ziyi now feels that his heels are weak, and his heart is flustered. This old bustard is also a human spirit, and she can see Lan Ziyi's weakness at a glance, and she smiled flatteringly:

"Master Hou, are you tired? You may be seated, you may be seated. ”

As he spoke, the bustard beckoned the turtle slave behind him to bring a chair over. Lan Ziyi happened to borrow the slope to get off the donkey, and took advantage of the situation to sit down and said:

"Mom has good eyesight, I did suffer a bump along the way just now."

Then Lan Ziyi said:

"Mom is so hospitable, then I have to be polite. I've got the five thousand taels you wanted. ”

As he spoke, Lan Ziyi took out a ticket from his arms and slapped it on the table, shaking the whole building.

But the old bustard was not angry because of Lan Ziyi's arrogance, but she personally poured tea for Lan Ziyi, and said to Lan Ziyi with a smile:

"The day before yesterday, the villain had no eyes, offended Wei Hou's family, and he was speechless for a while and randomly recited the number of five thousand taels, Wei Hou must not take it seriously."

Hearing this, Lan Ziyi raised his eyebrows and glared at the old bustard and said:

"Family? Tao Zhuhu is my eldest brother, and it is my sister-in-law who welcomes me back today, and you haven't offended others, but I'm just angry. I know that your girl has money and can buy it, so I have enough money with me today. You just have to make an offer. “

As he spoke, Lan Ziyi took out a stack of tickets from his arms and slapped them on the table.

If it is ordinary, these old bustards who are engaged in the skin and meat business can't have their eyes shine when they see the silver, and they will serve Lan Ziyi, a rich man who scatters silver. But now this old bustard looked at the table full of silver tickets and did not move like a mountain, her face did not have half a wave, she still laughed as before, she said to Lan Ziyi:

"Wei Hou is angry, the people in this building before were all blind, and when I saw that Brother Wei Hou actually sent him away as a stinky hill."

Hearing this, Tao Zhutu pointed at the old bustard and scolded:

"How do you speak? Who do you scold? We all followed Wei Hou out to fight and just returned to Beijing, who do you say is Qiu Ba? “

When the old bustard heard this, he hurriedly apologized to Tao Zhutu with a smile on his face:

"The old slave should die, the old slave is cheap, this Lang Jun must not be angry."

Lan Ziyi said:

"You are my eldest brother a poor military household, so you offer five hundred taels to stump my brother? When my eldest brother came with the silver, you didn't admit it, and you wanted to block my brother's mouth with 5,000 taels? The money was here, and he took it and let it go. “

The old bustard smiled even brighter when he heard this, and he said:

"Wei Hou, isn't this the people in the building who have no beads in the building, and the dog's eyes look down on people? I didn't recognize that it was Wei Hou's eldest brother, Wei Hou said to release people, and let people go now. Saying that, the old bustard gave the two turtle slaves a look, and the two got out of the way of Lian'er, and Lian'er moved to Lan Ziyi's side.

After the old bustard finished speaking, he took out a thousand taels of silver ticket from the table, and then instructed the people behind him:

"Go get five hundred taels to give Wei Hou change."

When Lan Ziyi heard this, he raised his hand to stop the bustard and said:

"You only took a thousand taels and what change are you looking for?"

The old bustard smiled:

"How dare the old slave deceive Wei Hou, he said that it was five hundred taels before, and he only received five hundred taels."

Hearing this, Lan Ziyi slapped the table and got up, pointed at Lian'er and said:

"Is my sister-in-law's worth measured in silver? She is priceless, Hugh will take five hundred taels out to insult my sister-in-law's reputation! Take your five thousand taels, and I can afford the silver. Tomorrow, I will go to Jinling County to change my sister-in-law's household registration, and if you dare to be one step late, I will come to smash your museum. ”

After saying that, Lan Ziyi turned around and left, Tao Zhutu stepped forward to put away the extra silver tickets, and left five thousand taels on the table, and the group followed Lan Ziyi out of the house.

When I came to the outside of the building, several nurseries had brought horses for Lan Ziyi, and everyone got on the horses, and the peach chased the tiger and Lian'er to ride a horse. Several people urged the horse to walk away, and after leaving the Zhaozilou, Lian'er couldn't hold back anymore and cried into tears. Tao Zhuhu is in danger, she said:

"Lian'er, don't cry, didn't I come to pick you up?"

Lian'er sat on the horse and looked up at Tao Zhuhu when she heard the words:

"Dalang! Don't mention that to me again! I don't want to be a prostitute. The concubine has a surname and surname, Da Lang, I dislike my background, and I am willing to take me, I follow Da Lang and call me Tao Yan. ”

Hearing this, Lan Ziyi turned around and clasped his fists and said:

"My sister-in-law is really tormenting my generation when she says this, my sister-in-law is always famous, and it's okay to have one if you don't have a name."

Hearing this, Tao Yan shook his head and cried:

"Although the concubine was famous when she was young, she has long forgotten that she has fallen into the dust for all these years, and the concubine does not dare to take another name. Da Lang had already mentioned to the concubine that Wei Hou was benevolent, Wei Hou was willing to defile his reputation and personally redeem the concubine for Da Lang, and the concubine was grateful. Just call me Tao's family, and the concubine doesn't dare to choose a name. ”

Qiu Xiao, who was on the side, stroked his beard and nodded when he heard this:

"What a peach, knowledgeable and courteous."

Hearing this, Tao Yan said straight to Qiu Xiao:

"The concubine is not talented, and she has learned a subset of scriptures and history since she was a child, and she knows honor and disgrace, and she knows the kindness of Wei Hou and Da Lang to me."

When he said it, he couldn't cry.

Seeing this, Lan Ziyi hurriedly played a round and said:

"Now that you've come out of the building, don't talk about the sad things you used to do. Let's go, let's go home. ”

After saying that, he urged the horse to take the lead, and the group happily returned to the house.

The next day, Lan Ziyi held a small ceremony for Tao Ling in the garden, because Tao Lao Yu was still there, and he had not worshiped Gao Tang Tao and Hu was not considered a marriage, so he had to take one or two first. And because Tao Zhuhu married a prostitute and didn't enter the stream after all, Lan Ziyi didn't dare to invite Li Minchun to come over to join in the fun, but just sent someone to invite Gao Yanzong, Li Guangzhong and Zhou Buhui to come over to celebrate together.

That week, Buhui used the excuse that he was going to Yuyang to take office in the near future, but things were busy, and no one came, so he only sealed ten taels of silver as a red envelope. Gao Yanzong followed Lan Ziyi's servants and came to Lan Ziyi's mansion with a jar of wine in one hand, and Li Guangzhong also came with gifts.

There are friends who come from afar, not to mention that they are all brothers who have been born and died together. Lan Ziyi personally went out to greet Gao and Erren, and when everyone was seated and the food and wine were served, everyone touched a glass first, and then began to play presumptuously, Gao Yanzong spoke first:

"At that time, you Tao Dalang in Xiangcheng didn't die, so I knew that you had today!"

Hearing this, Tao Zhuhu slapped the table and scolded:

"Lord Gao, aren't you talking nonsense? I'm not dead, I'm definitely going to get married. “

When Gao Yanzong heard this, he stretched out his hand to stop the peach chasing tiger and said:

"Listen to me. I expected you to have today, but I didn't expect you to marry a lovely person and go home, your virtue is worthy of marrying a dominatrix, aren't you ruining others to find such a beauty to come back? “

After Gao Yanzong finished speaking, everyone in the audience immediately laughed loudly, and Tao Yan was so ashamed that his face was flushed, and he went off the table first under the pretext that he was too drunk to drink. And Yueshan has been standing quietly outside the table with a wine jug in his hand, quietly watching everyone at the table.

After everyone teased again, Lan Ziyi found an opportunity to ask Li Guangzhong

"How is General Lee's injuries?"

Li Guangzhong said:

"I returned to Beijing early, and my injuries have already healed. When I entered the city the day before yesterday, I saw you, Marquis Wei. “

Lan Ziyi nodded when he heard this:

"I also met General Lee."
