The wine jug broke into pieces, and the smell of the daughter's red wine instantly filled the entire room.
Zhen Beiwang and Youtong, who were guarding outside, rushed in first.
"Master!"
"go out!"
Zhu Youxiao shouted at them without even turning his head.
The two then realized that they were too nervous, and quickly retreated outside, closing the door.
Gu Hengbo was so frightened that he stopped dancing and stood aside with his head down, feeling a little at a loss.
Her mother Qinglian was not in much better condition. When she thought of what the madam had told her when she came here, her face turned pale.
"Please forgive me, sir. I said something I shouldn't have said."
"I will drink three cups as punishment!"
As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass from the table and drank it all.
Since the wine jug was gone, she picked up the wine jar and poured it directly into the cup.
I just don’t know if she did it on purpose or if the jar was too big and the cup was too small.
As soon as the wine jar tilted, the wine inside spilled out, wetting her clothes.
"mother......"
Seeing this, Gu Hengbo ran over screaming.
Qinglian looked at her daughter with a bitter expression and said softly.
"Go get Mom some dry clothes."
"The dishes on the table are cold. Don't let your son get a stomachache after eating them."
"Go ask the cook to prepare a few more hot dishes. When they are ready, bring them all over."
"No need!"
Zhu Youxiao understood the hidden meaning in her words.
Sending his daughter away and staying in the same room with him to make amends?
what is this else?
But it doesn’t matter anymore. What matters is that he is not in the mood and has no interest.
"The reason why I broke the wine pot just now has nothing to do with you."
"On the contrary, I have something else I want to trouble you and Mei'er with."
Chapter 116 None of these guys from the Royal Guards have good eyesight!
When Gu Hengbo heard this, his face instantly turned red to his ears.
Mei'er is her nickname, how can others call her that?
Even among neighbors of ordinary people, they usually call each other's daughters "little lady" and rarely call them by their maiden names.
This is a name that only the closest relatives can call you!
Qinglian's heart, which had just risen to her throat, suddenly calmed down and she looked at Zhu Youxiao with some flattery.
"I wonder what you are talking about, sir?"
Zhu Youxiao looked at her, then at Gu Hengbo standing beside him.
"How about Miss Qinglian and your daughter accompany me to Zhangzhou?"
"this......."
Qinglian hesitated.
"I appreciate your kindness, sir, but I have no intention of leaving Miaolanfang yet."
"So, please forgive me for not being appreciative!"
She knew that the young man in front of her meant to redeem her.
But after being redeemed, life may not be better than here.
Every year, some of the sisters who traveled with the wife were redeemed, but after returning, their status in front of the wife was even lower than that of a maid!
She is a maid, after all, the mistress's personal servant, and she also has the advantage of being a virgin.
But what about yourself?
And he has such a big daughter with him!
The name "Mother and Daughter" has long been spread in Qinhuai River.
Therefore, she knows better than anyone what those seemingly serious scholars are thinking!
A mother is strong. For Gu Hengbo, she would rather continue with her current life.
The flash of vigilance in Qinglian's eyes made Zhu Youxiao realize that this woman must have misunderstood him.
"Don't think too much. I have no intention of doing anything to you and your daughter."
"I just have some things to do in Zhangzhou. It just so happens that you have experience living in Zhangzhou, which is very important to me."
"Redeeming yourself is just a small matter. If the trip to Zhangzhou goes smoothly, I will buy you a house in the capital and find you a job so that you and your daughter can live a stable life for the rest of your life."
"really?"
Qinglian was overjoyed when she heard this.
Zhu Youxiao smiled and did not answer, but shouted outside.
"Somebody come!"
"Master!"
Yutong pushed the door open and walked in.
Zhu Youxiao asked him for the 500 taels of silver note that Xu Tingyuan had given as a bribe and pushed it in front of Qinglian.
"These are just a token of my appreciation."
"If you agree, I will send someone to redeem you right now!"
Looking at the banknotes in front of him, Qinglian's breathing began to become rapid.
Five hundred taels!
Although it was not much, it was enough for her and Gu Hengbo to live a good life for a few years.
After a moment's struggle between her conscience and desire, she stood up, pulled Gu Hengbo and bent her knees to bow.
"Thank you for your kindness, sir. I will do whatever you ask!"
"Hahahaha! All right! Hurry up and get up. I'll be waiting for you on the shore!"
Seeing that Qinglian agreed to go with him, Zhu Youxiao laughed with satisfaction.
After walking up to them and pulling them up, he turned around and walked out of the room.
But Yutong behind him was dumbfounded.
Five hundred taels...
Gone? ?
He felt his whole body and found less than two taels of silver. Then he looked at the mother and daughter behind him.
What can we use to redeem them?
In desperation, he ran to Zhen Beiwang and whispered.
"Lao Zhen, do you have any money? Take it out quickly. I want to redeem them and their daughter..."
Zhen Beiwang glared and said, "Do you think I look like a wealthy person?"
Yutong:? ?
"Didn't you offer us a hundred taels to read the Apocalypse?"
"Give the hundred taels to our family first, don't let it interfere with our master's important plans!"
Zhen Beiwang's mouth twitched a few times and he smiled awkwardly.
"Hehe, I'm just saying that. Where can I get a hundred taels of silver to give you?"
Yutong:............
"No, where is the silver we found on Zhou? Wasn't there more than 2,000 taels?"
Zhen Beiwang shrugged and said, "It's with Commander Sun. Go find him..."
Yutong is very unhappy!
None of these guys from the Jinyiwei have good eyesight!
Those who brought money couldn’t come up, but those who didn’t brought money caught up!
What the hell are you doing here?
Pointing to me paying for whoring myself......
Nonsence!
Are you asking me to pay for the wine myself, and ask you to open your eyes at the same time?
A bunch of bastards!
He glared at Zhen Beiwang with a resentful look on his face, then stepped hard on the latter's instep and turned around to chase after Zhu Youxiao.
Looking north: ???
This Governor can bear injustice!
But you can't step on my...
I got a new pair of shoes!
These are new shoes that I made for you in preparation for a business trip. I stayed up late to make them for you!
He really wanted to chase after him and kick Yutong twice, but the mother and daughter inside had not been redeemed yet, so someone had to stay here to give them an explanation.
Sun Kangwang was waiting outside the boat. When he saw Zhu Youxiao and Youtong getting off the boat, he hurried over to greet them.
"Master, are we going back to Zuixianlou next?"
Zhu Youxiao nodded and walked straight towards Zuixianlou.
Youtong took the opportunity to wink at Sun Kangwang, and waited until Zhu Youxiao walked some distance away before telling him about redeeming Qinglian and her daughter.
In Zuixian Tower, Concubine Cheng and Concubine Rong had already returned.
The journey together made them, who had originally lived their own lives in the harem, become like sisters.
After all, they were women with the same fate. Concubine Cheng had a daughter who died young, and Concubine Rong had a son who also died young.
This experience allows them to better understand each other's difficulties.
Now that such an opportunity has finally come, no one wants to ruin their image in Zhu Youxiao's eyes because of jealousy.
It would be a good thing for everyone if they could get pregnant early and give birth to a heir for the Ming Dynasty.
Seeing Zhu Youxiao coming back, the two of them hurried to greet him.
"Sir, you smell like alcohol, take off your clothes and change them."
Concubine Rong pulled Zhu Youxiao to the bedside and reached out to untie his belt.
However, Concubine Cheng had a good nose. After sniffing twice, she noticed the clue and said with a charming smile.
"Which young lady did you go drinking with? Bring her back so that I and Sister Rong can meet her."
"Before leaving the palace, the queen specifically told me that there are not enough sisters in the palace. If I see someone I like during this trip, let us sisters take charge and bring her back to the palace for me."
Zhu Youxiao touched his nose awkwardly.
"Don't talk nonsense. There is no such thing as a young lady. I went out to investigate a case!"
