Chapter 81: Falling Dust

"As long as the beauty is pretty, she will think about it. From the beginning to the end, it is not allowed to be long, short and short. is willful and upside down for a while, even if others laugh. Someone pointed out that the night was still in the morning, and they knew that the frost was all the blue bridge. ”

On the bank of the Qinhuai River, on a two-story flower building with white walls and green tiles, my sister was singing Nanqu early in the morning to practice her voice, and the sister was about fourteen or fifteen years old, delicate and lovely, holding silk strings in her arms, and looking at the calm river like waves after singing.

A companion came upstairs and said with a smile: "Yue'er has learned how to play and sing, but it's time to hang up the signboard." ”

Yue'er was stunned and said, "What signboard?" ”

The companion couldn't help but say, stretched out her hand and pointed to the pen and inkstone on the table, and said: "You can write, just write that there is a fairy poppy beauty in the flower building on Linhe West Street, who wants to meet her, ten taels of silver; Whoever told her to accompany her to wine, and left fifty taels of silver; Whoever sleeps with her for a night, the spring breeze once had a high price! ”

Yue'er's face darkened, she didn't dare to refuse her mother, so she had to write according to her words, and wrote a poem in front of Zuihou in her heart.

The rhododendron branch was dusky last month, and the three watches were full of eye injuries.

I don't know if it's tears or blood, stained red clothes.

I was a daughter of the Golden Marquis, and I was reduced to a green building and laughed bitterly.

Everyone leans on the railing, and they don't see the old times in their eyes.

The wife didn't know the words, smiled and praised the beautiful writing, went downstairs with the paper, and posted it on the door later.

Tears flowed, and Yue'er suppressed her crying and threw herself on the embroidery bed. It happened that a twenty-year-old scholar downstairs passed by the door, and when he saw my daughter of the Hou Mansion, he said to himself: "That person is looking for the daughter of the Hou Mansion everywhere like crazy, could it be that this is the person he is looking for?" ”

Upstairs, Yue'er cried for a while and didn't dare to cry anymore, once her eyes were swollen from crying, she had to be beaten again, she got up with a miserable face and sorted out her makeup, and habitually picked up the strings to try the sound.

It turned out that this Yue'er's real name was Zhang Yueyun, and she was the daughter of the Heqing Hou family, Zhang De's sister. After the Zhang family was seized by Jinyiwei that day, she was reduced to the teaching workshop, and it didn't take long for someone to come to ask if there was anyone from the Zhang family? It's also that Xu Hao has no experience, and the old bustard of the sect knew what was going on when he heard it, so he sold her to Ya Pozi overnight, and after several turnovers, she was sold here at a high price.

Zhang Yueyun was born in the Hou Mansion, with a good appearance and elegant temperament, and people in this industry regard her as a cash cow, so she has not been insulted.

When she first came, she would rather die than lose her temperament, she was tied up and sold, but she was pushed down in the flower building by her mother-in-law, and ordered someone to come to kill the club, and the skin of the beating was broken and bloody. Crying and shouting to stop fighting, I will obey from now on.

The mother cut the rope with a knife, asked the little girl to strip her naked, washed her with warm water, and then locked her in a firewood room, and ordered someone to watch.

After being locked up for five or six days, Zhang Yueyun was honest, and when she recovered from her injuries, she was released and let the old and decrepit woman teach her to dance and sing.

During this period, she leaned on the railing every day, hoping to be found by her familiar relatives, and once she was really seen by her uncle's family, but when the family went back to report, the uncle and his wife were afraid that she would fight for the family property after she came to the house, so they rewarded the family with two taels of silver and sent them to their hometown, and finally Zhang Yueyun died and learned something three months later.

At this time, a person who could read the poem downstairs read out the poem, and the angry companion was about to tear it off while scolding, and she didn't want two more errands to come, and a scolding made her stop.

One person pointed to the poem and said: "It's really effortless, the officials and guards all over the capital are looking for it everywhere, it seems that we are going to be cheaper, haha!" That's five hundred taels of silver from the Yan Wang's Mansion. ”

The companion hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, begging: "You two raise your noble hands, this sister must not be someone you want to find." Even if it is, why does she earn five hundred taels of flesh money in a year? Why don't you give you two fifty taels of silver every month for a year? ”

The two officers combined, it was six hundred taels of silver in a year, one hundred taels more than the Yanwang Mansion, not only can they eat and drink for nothing in this flower building, but they can also sleep with the daughter of the Hou Mansion for a few nights, where can I find such a good thing? I nodded in agreement.

The companion mother-in-law was distressed and obediently sent fifty taels of silver, and agreed to let Yue'er sleep after earning the money in a few days, and the satisfied errand left.

Before leaving, he also warned that there were no less than tens of thousands of people in the capital looking for the one upstairs, hide it carefully, if it was found and rescued by others, the agreed money still had to be given, and if you didn't give it, you would smash your flower building.

The companion was dizzy with anger, tore off the piece of paper and quickly closed the door, and said sharply: "Go and drive the cheap goods upstairs to the windowless wing downstairs, and the old lady has lost a lot of money in vain." We'll see. ”

She was unwilling to be blackmailed with so much silver, and she was afraid that Yue'er would be discovered by others again, so she went to the back door alley of the Song Guogong Mansion ruthlessly, found a familiar servant and handed the words inside.

It is said that Feng Sheng, the Duke of the Song Dynasty, has repeatedly made military exploits in his life, second only to Xu Da, often meets spring, Deng Yu, these few, after the founding of the country, the credit is greater, Hongwu 20 years to worship the capture of the general, at that time Fu Youde and Lan Yu were the deputy generals of the left and right, the Yuan Dynasty Tai Lieutenant Naha out, and captured more than 200,000 prisoners in a war.

Chang Yuchun's eldest son, Chang Mao, was Feng Sheng's son-in-law, and he was also in the army at the time, but the relationship between his father-in-law and son-in-law has not been very good. At that time, Naha saw that the Ming army was at its peak and was ready to surrender, so Feng Sheng sent Lan Yu and Chang Mao to surrender. borrowed the strength of wine to take off his official uniform and asked Nahachu to put it on, but Nahachu refused to wear it, and he pushed back and forth.

Chang Mao people call Master Mao, short-tempered, and see through at a glance that this Naha's surrender is fake, and the delay is true, otherwise why don't you want to wear the Ming military uniform? In a fit of rage, he drew his sword and slashed Naha's arm.

Interestingly, because of this sword, Naha's wife, sons, daughters and generals stationed nearby were afraid, and more than 100,000 people ran away overnight. Later, Feng Shengbing was bloodless, and easily sent people to recruit more than ten nearby tribes, more than 200,000 herdsmen, and millions of livestock.

Feng Sheng took advantage of the situation to pursue and won several more battles, but on the way back, the capital governor Pu Ying and 3,000 cavalry were surrounded and annihilated by the Mongol tribes who came to take revenge.

Feng Sheng was worried that Zhu Yuanzhang, who was becoming more and more suspicious, would take advantage of the topic to play, so he reported his son-in-law Chang Mao's slashing, so as to put the fault on Chang Mao or divert Zhu Yuanzhang's attention.

Sure enough, Zhu Yuanzhang was angry and ordered Chang Maofa to be sent to Longzhou, and he died of illness not long after, and his younger brother Chang Sheng inherited the title.

The problem is that Chang Mao was angry when he was escorted away, and he didn't do anything and exposed all the ugly things about Feng Sheng. It turned out that Feng Sheng hid a lot of good horses behind his back, and asked Naha's wife for jewelry, and the death of the governor Pu Ying was because there was a prince of the Yuan Dynasty among the captives, and within two days of his death, Feng Sheng forcibly married someone's daughter, and Cong angered the Mongols, and rushed to help in the war, killing Pu Ying.

Zhu Yuanzhang was angry again, and all the rewards of the whole army were withdrawn, and Feng Sheng was ordered to go to Fengyang to think about it behind closed doors, and since then Feng Sheng has either guarded the northwest or trained troops everywhere, and has never commanded the army again.

Feng Sheng's second son is named Feng Tao, who originally grew up in the rich and prosperous Guogong Mansion, and suddenly one day with his father was driven to live in a remote house in Fengyang, Feng Sheng was called out in the second year, but he has been living for five years, and the high-wall career has left a shadow in his heart.

Originally, Feng Tao's temperament was dark, but now it has intensified, becoming more cruel and cruel, and any maid he likes will be abused to death in no more than a month.

After returning to the capital, Feng Tao did not dare to continue to attack the maid, and did not hesitate to buy off several old bustards near the Qinhuai River, and mutilated many prostitutes in a row, one of these old bustards was this companion mother-in-law.

When Feng Sheng heard that there was another fresh product, he was immediately overjoyed, and invited his wife in to ask carefully, and learned that it was the young lady of the former Heqing Marquis's family, and she was perfect. Joy on joy. Anyway, the Feng family was rich, and they were rewarded with two hundred taels of gold and some jewelry.

It was agreed that Zhang Yueyun would be sent to Feng Sheng's outer house tonight, and the black-hearted companion returned satisfied.
