In Zhang's bedroom in Laurel Building, Zhang's was soaking in the bathtub, smearing the Huaxiang bath gel that Zhen Mingku had brewed for her, wiping her body, humming a cheerful and beautiful tune in her mouth, Zhen Ming, who had not seen her for a few days, pushed the door and walked in, startling her and looking at him nervously.

Zhen Mingbitter walked to the bathtub, did not do anything to her as before, and asked: "Goose goose, what is your sister Zhao doing with raising so much silver?" ”

Zhang stared at him suspiciously: "What are you asking for?" ”

"I suspect that your sister Zhao was deceived, and by the way, even your two thousand taels of silver were lost."

Seeing that his expression was serious, not like a joke, Zhang Shi stood up from the bathtub in fright, ignoring his fiery and greedy gaze, and asked anxiously: "Xianggong, what happened?" ”

Zhen Mingku withdrew his gaze from her, and said, "Did you tell me that she gave all the money to that Li Gongzi?" ”

Zhang shook his head: "No, Sister Zhao said that he was kidnapped, then Li Gongzi is Li Jiancheng, the eldest son of the Li family in Jinyang, if he is caught by the government in Luoyang, he must be held hostage in Luoyang, Sister Zhao took out her savings for many years to exchange the kidnapper's life for that Li Gongzi......"

Zhen Ming sighed bitterly: "Alas, that Li Gongzi is not Li Jiancheng at all, he is an acting actor in Chang'an, and your sister Zhao was deceived." ”

"Huh?" Zhang's face was sluggish, his mouth opened wide, and he still asked with some disbelief: "Xianggong, are you telling the truth?" How do you know? ”

Although her graceful posture was pleasing to the eye, Zhen Mingku was worried that she would catch a cold, so he reached out and took the bath towel next to her, wrapped it around her body, and explained: "Originally, I didn't know, didn't Li Gongzi fall into the river on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival?" When I rescued him, I found that he hadn't drunk water at all, and at first glance he could swim, but he pretended not to swim, and deliberately led Zhao Yan to jump into the water to save him. ”

After hearing this, Zhang didn't care about taking a half-bath, hurriedly came out of the bathtub, and hurriedly put on his clothes, while anxiously saying: "Xianggong, hurry, help me stop Sister Zhao, that Li Gongzi gave her a letter and asked her to elope with him, I am afraid that she will be in danger......"

At this moment, there was a knock at the door, and the voices of Xiao Yue and Xiao Ying sounded: "Zhen Nursing Courtyard, just now a mother came to spread the word, saying that the Red Plum Fairy eloped with the guests, and asked all the nursing homes and bustard mothers to gather at the gate to ......"

Zhang was stunned, Zhen Mingku looked at her with some sympathy, walked to her side, helped her gently tie her belt, covered the moving spring light on her chest, sighed and said, "It's too late." ”

……

The news that the red plum fairy eloped with someone and escaped from the red apricot courtyard alarmed the entire red apricot courtyard, and the Taile Department directly under the red apricot courtyard was furious, and the Taile order ordered all the guardians of the red apricot courtyard, the bustard mother and the turtle father, all dispatched, and the whole city searched for the whereabouts of the red plum fairy.

At the door of the Hongxing Courtyard, dozens of elderly bustard mothers and turtle fathers got into their own carriages, and the nursing homes of Baihualou also gathered together, riding horses, ready to go.

Many bustard mothers and turtle fathers were as excited as chicken blood on their faces, and such a major event as the flower fairy eloping with a guest is a rare occurrence in ten years.

A man who looked like an official errand held an official document in his hand, read the wanted order issued by the Taile Department, and read out the charges of the Red Plum Fairy who escaped without permission......

Zhen Mingku was the last to come to the door, and when he saw this formation, he suddenly felt some sympathy for Zhao Yanlai.

It seems that Li Gongzi has completely sold her.

……

The autumn wind is miserable, on the Luohe wharf in the south of Luoyang City, Zhao Yan, who is dressed as a maid, is looking at the Luohe River in a daze, and there are several broken flat boats docked at the wharf, and the light of the oil lamp is reflected from the canopy, which is dim and bleak.

Several old fishermen were leaning together with their old wives on the fishing boat to keep warm, and from time to time the sound of them complaining to each other about the thin quilts was heard, and gradually there was silence, except for the sound of the Luo River lapping on the riverbank.

Zhao Yan waited alone on the dock for two or three hours, although she was wearing a precious fur coat given to her by the Zhang family, she was still shivering from the cold, according to the agreement, Li Gongzi would wait for her here and leave Luoyang by boat.

Two or three hours had passed since the time he had agreed with her, and she was worried that something had happened to him and delayed the appointment.

She was sure he would come and pick her up, and she would wait here no matter how long it was.

……

Zhao Yan finally waited for a group of fierce bustard mothers and turtle fathers.

When the bustard mother and the nurses of the Hongxing Courtyard held torches and surrounded the Luohe Wharf, Zhao Yancai, who was dazed, raised his head and looked at the faces with hideous smiles around him.

She is too familiar with these faces, she grew up in the Red Apricot Courtyard, from a small slave to the position of today's Red Plum Fairy, she has seen more villains than the stars in the sky, although the faces of these people have changed many batches, but there is one thing that will never change, that is, the despicable souls with hideous teeth in the dark corners of these people's bodies.

A trace of despair flashed in her eyes, and she stood up expressionlessly, and walked towards the group of bustard mothers and turtle fathers, as tragic as sheep in the mouth of a tiger......

……

Watching the red plum fairy being beaten by those bustard mothers, everyone saw a smile in their eyes, especially the Yuan Nursing Courtyard, watching a high-ranking fairy fall to today's situation and being abused like this, he didn't feel that this woman was pitiful, but had the pleasure of watching people with a status higher than himself being trampled under his feet.

Zhao Yan looked sluggish, sat on the ground and let the stinky feet of those bustard mothers step on her, tearing her carefully cared for hair messy, the golden hairpin fell to the ground, her white pretty face had been fanned out of bright red palm prints, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

She didn't snort the whole time.

The bustard mothers began to count the various wrongs of the red plum fairy in the past, and turned into abuse.

"What a red plum fairy, but just a shameless man, I really think that I am a fairy on the top, floating into the clouds, now I know what kind of goods I am! You're just a stinky jiri who has been sold into the hospital, and you can step on it as much as the old lady wants! ”

"I have long seen that she is not a good thing, with sharp teeth and sharp mouth, as soon as she gains power, she will not take us mothers who have worked hard to raise her in the eyes, even we are called by her as a person, not to mention those subordinates, how many people in the courtyard have watched her fall into a big fight, the old lady wants to see how she still puts on the stinky shelf of the red plum fairy now!"
