After singing the song, Zhao Yuannu's beautiful eyes turned and he looked at Zhao Tong: "Master, how did Yuannu sing?"
Zhao Tao stroked his palm and said: "Sure enough, the fairy music is floating, the lingering sound is endless, and it is intoxicating."
Zhao Yuannu said: "How about I sing another song for you?"
Zhao Tong nodded: "Very good!"
Zhao Yuannu smiled: "Please give me some words."
Zhao Tong smiled and said, "Let me think about it."
Mei Niang was already anxious outside the door. The guards closed the door. She did not see the scene in the pavilion before, but the sound of Zhao Yuannu singing could be heard.
Why did this become a song? Didn't we agree to have a glass of wine with you and make a good relationship and then leave?
Mrs. Zhao is too impatient. You are the oiran's wife, and there are people waiting in the Accord over there!
Mei Niang thought that she should come out after singing, but when the song ended, not only did she not see Zhao Yuannu come out, but he actually started singing again after a while, and her face changed slightly.
Mei Niang originally knew that Zhao Yuannu was smart and intelligent, but she didn't expect that he would be so sloppy today. If the delay continued, there would be no one in the Accord, but something would happen!
It was perfect and perfect, but I don't know what the oiran lady was thinking, but she was so confused that she seemed to delay it again and again. Even if she was really attracted to Mr. Zhao, how could it be at this moment?
Mei Niang was anxiously jumping outside the door, but there was nothing she could do. She didn't dare to rush in directly, so she looked at the guard next to her.
The ten guards Zhao Tong brought this time were all people from Yulong Zhili. Now the establishment has been moved to the Guards and Military Division. Yulongzhi's imperial army is different from the ordinary imperial army. Not just anyone can join.
There are five layers of guards in the imperial city of the Song Dynasty: the Imperial City Secretary, the Imperial Guard, the Kuanyi Tianwu, the Royal Dragon Bow and Arrow Crossbow, the Royal Dragon Bone Duozi Zhi, and the Royal Dragon Zhi.
The five-level imperial army does not select people from outside Tokyo, ordinary people, or ordinary military personnel. They only select meritorious officers of the imperial army.
They must belong to a forbidden army family, and their ancestors must have served as officers and made meritorious service, which can be checked on the military status of the Ministry of War. Such people are eligible to join the Imperial City's Five Directives.
The military pay of the Wuzhi Imperial Guards is much higher than that of ordinary Imperial Guards, even higher than that of the Horse Army.
The selection rules were originally established based on two considerations. The first was loyalty and loyalty, and the second was a kind of favor for the lower-level officers of the Forbidden Army.
Therefore, the status of these five straight people is different from that of ordinary imperial guards.
Because the people of Wuzhi have lived in the inner city for a long time, they are not as knowledgeable as the forbidden troops outside the city. They are all Tokyo veterans.
If the ordinary Imperial Guards outside were wandering around the city, they would just listen to the houses and walk around the secret doors.
In Huangcheng Wuzhi, he went shopping in Goulan, went to brothels, and even ate at the Seventy-Two Restaurant.
Although these people Zhao Tong brought from Yulongzhi only served as bodyguards in the mansion, since they were transferred to the Guards and Military Department, they were all promoted to officers by him, and they received additional rewards from the mansion every month.
They all have bulging pockets and are well-informed on weekdays.
At this time, a bearded guard saw Mei Niang jumping around anxiously and said with a smile: "You bitch, why are you making so much noise? It disturbs the young master and makes you walk around without food!"
Mei Niang was anxious waiting for it, and she was even more angry when she heard this. Although she was too old to go to the playground, she was not a mother-in-law. Now she was only in her thirties, not even forty, not half a century old. The old lady is still very charming at the right time.
She couldn't help but said: "I'm stupid and have a green mouth. How can I look like a mother-in-law?"
The bearded guard smiled and said: "I told you not to make any noise, but you said you were young or old. You thought you were in your teens or 20s? Someone is pampering and pampering you."
The more Mei Niang listened, the angrier she became. She had a flexible mind and an exquisite mind, but no ordinary woman could bear such words, especially considering that the other party was just a guard with a low status, and it was probably the first time for both of them to come to this Fan Tower.
She said angrily: "I'm waiting for my wife to be in a hurry, so how can I make any noise? What's the point of you idiot? You don't have a beard and you are a boss. If the young master hadn't pitied you, I would have kicked you out of the house."
The bearded guard was not angry when he heard this, but just smiled and said: "My young master treats us well and can provide for us in old age, but how can I be like you, a woman who can barely show her face now, how can she still pick us up and send her around in a few years? Will Fan Lou still use you? I'm afraid I'll be miserable for the rest of my life."
As he spoke, he winked at a guard next to him. The young guard was Wu Xiaodao, who went to Zhouqiao with Zhao Tao years ago. Seeing that the bearded man was gesturing to him at this moment, he didn't know what to say. His face was red and he was just nonchalant.
Mei Niang was furious when she heard this. The bearded man spoke to her heart.
Musicians in the building like her originally redeemed themselves and got married when they were about the same age, and some redeemed themselves. But she was very ambitious and did not want to be redeemed as a concubine by a rich family, and she did not want to redeem herself and join someone hastily. In fact, the average age is , self-redemption does not cost much money, Fan Lou rewards many people, and almost everyone has the capital to redeem themselves when they reach old age.
Seeing that she was good at socializing in the building, they asked her if she would like to stay and work. She accepted and started working little by little. Until now, she is the manager on the third floor of the west building. She has done a good job and accumulated a lot of money, but she is old. Bigger.
At this time, not many wealthy people were willing to take her in, and she had nowhere to go. Seeing that she could not work in Fanlou for a few more years, she had no idea where to go in the future. This was what she worried about every day, and she felt a little regretful. I didn't get married early.
At this moment, the big beard pierced her mind, and her already embarrassed mood became even worse. Looking at the proud look on the big beard, she said angrily: "How will I ask you to take care of me in the future? It's even a matter of caring for the elderly. It's a limitless thing." , I’m worried about you, I don’t believe that you, an idiot like you, can’t protect the young master when he can’t walk, and the young master will keep you in vain!”
The bearded man shook his head when he heard this, and said with a smile: "No one will argue with you about this. Don't make any noise. You know your own affairs. I don't want to say this to you."
Mei Niang saw the disdainful look on his face. She had said all the unpleasant things, but now she didn't say anything. She was so angry that she said angrily: "You idiot, please tell me your words well. What do you know about your own affairs?"
The bearded man touched his forehead and said, "If you make any noise again, I will tie you up, gag you, and throw you downstairs!"
Mei Niang has never seen such arrogant guards. She has been in Fanlou for a long time and has seen all kinds of people. However, there are masters who are arrogant, domineering and unreasonable, but no guard servant has ever dared to say such arrogant words.
Just as she was about to refute again, the music in the pavilion suddenly stopped, and it turned out that Zhao Yuannu was singing another song.
Mei Niang was worried about something, and even though she was angry at this moment, her mind suddenly came to her senses. She knew that she could no longer get entangled with the bearded man, and she had to remind Mrs. Zhao to go back there.
She hurriedly walked to the door, and the bearded guard shouted from behind: "You are brave, what do you want to do?"
Mei Niang stretched out her hand and knocked on the door. The bearded man grabbed her from behind, lifted her up by the collar like a chicken, and said, "I told you not to disturb the young master, why are you disobedient?"
Mei Niang was picked up by him. She had never seen such a battle before, and she immediately shouted in a panic: "Madam, Madam is out."
The bearded man reached out to cover her mouth, and then Zhao Tong's voice came from the pavilion: "What's the noise outside?"
The bearded man whispered: "I told you not to make any noise. Why didn't you listen? I'll blame you, sir. I'll see how you treat me!"
Over there, Wu Xiaodao opened the door of the pavilion and said, "Sir, it's the woman in charge who is making the noise."
Zhao Tong said: "Let her in."
Big Beard put Mei Niang down, and Mei Niang had no time to get angry with Big Beard. She trotted into the pavilion and was about to speak, but she saw Zhao Yuannu being dragged into his arms by the young master. Something big is going to happen!
She said: "Sorry to bother you, sir, my family..."
Zhao Tong snorted coldly, interrupted her and said, "I told you to go out and do your own business, so why are you causing trouble outside the door?"
Mei Niang said: "Sir, Madam Zhao has been out for a long time. The slave family... The slave family is afraid that the people over there in the pavilion will notice. Come, come and ask the lady to go back."
Zhao Yuannu was sitting in Zhao Tong's arms with a pretty face. Hearing Mei Niang's words, he was shocked. He was only focused on being with the young master and completely forgot about things over there.
She secretly thought that this was not good. If the master over there really came to find her, not to mention the damage to her reputation, she was afraid that there would be trouble and it would be difficult to end.
There are both yamen and officials there. Even if the young master is not afraid...but don't the officials in Tokyo City protect each other? If the two parties knew each other, would Mr. Zhao protect his family?
If Mr. Zhao is just having fun and not protecting his family, then Fan Lou's punishment...
When he thought of this, Zhao Yuannu became panicked and wanted to break free, but Zhao Tong was not willing to let her go, so he stopped her slim waist with his hands and said, "What are you going to do, madam?"
Zhao Yuannu bit her lips lightly and said: "Master, the slave family cannot break the rules. Wait in the pavilion over there. I have to go back."
Zhao Tong shook his head and said, "Why?"
Zhao Yuannu said: "Young Master, if you sneak out to see the Young Master, you are already dishonest. If you don't go back, Fan Lou's rules..."
Zhao Tong sneered: "What kind of rules, what kind of faith? Are Fan Lou's rules considered rules? As for faith... I am Xinyi!"
Zhao Yuannu was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He didn't expect that Mr. Zhao could be so powerful.
Zhao Tong put a glass of wine to her lips: "Just drink, don't worry about anything else."
When Mei Niang saw this, she immediately sweated on her forehead. She didn't expect that what Mr. Zhao said before was actually the truth. He didn't want to have a drink with the oiran and let him go at all.
Mei Niang's face was extremely ugly. She looked at Zhao Yuannu and saw the oiran sitting in the young master's arms, shyly talking, with springy eyebrows. She actually drank the wine in one gulp. She felt dizzy, thinking that it was all over.
Something is going to happen. There are yamen and officials in the pavilion over there, and they are also yamen here. Once there is a disturbance, Fan Lou may not do anything to them, but his own manager... I am afraid he will be beaten to death, even if it is Zhao Yuan Slaves will also be severely punished.
When Mei Niang thought of this, her body lost all strength, as if she had been thrust under a stick, waiting to be whipped to death.
She lamented in her heart, why is the oiran lady so obsessed with things? It doesn't seem to make sense at the moment. It's better to make plans in advance. If it doesn't work, she will inform the building first. If it doesn't work, she can be punished with a shorter sentence.
She was thinking about leaving, but unexpectedly, a bearded man from outside came in with a maid, casually threw it to the ground and said, "Sir, I'm here to find Madam Zhao."
This maid was not old, but she was already trembling with fear. When she saw Zhao Yuannu, she immediately cried "Wow".
Zhao Tong frowned and said, "Who is it?"
"She is the personal maid of the slave family. How come you are here?" Zhao Yuannu's beautiful face turned pale when he saw this. He looked at the little maid and said, "Nong Yu, what happened?"
The little maid cried: "In the pavilion over there, I saw that my wife has not returned for a long time, and I can't find Mei Niang. There has been a commotion. I asked the slaves to come out to look for her. If she can't find her, she will be held accountable."
Zhao Yuannu was surprised when he heard this: "Have you gone to find the people in the building over there?"
The little maid cried and said: "Madam, I'm afraid I've already gone to look for her. They couldn't find Mei Niang, so they said they wanted to ask the people in the building how Fan Lou did this business."
When Mei Niang heard this, she couldn't stand and sat down on the ground.
Zhao Yuannu said hurriedly: "Master, it's better for me to go back."
Zhao Tong said: "You are not allowed to go anywhere. If you are looking for someone, let them come here!"
Zhao Yuannu whispered: "Young master, let the slave family go back. The slave family doesn't want to hurt others. There is still some way to make amends if we go back now..." After saying that, she looked at the little maid and Mei Niang on the ground.
Zhao Tong said: "We are all here, no one can leave. Madam, go and sing another song for me. I want to hear it..."
Before he finished speaking, noisy footsteps suddenly came from outside, and then someone shouted: "I saw that little maid coming here, that Zhao Yuannu must be stealing food here!"
Hearing this, Zhao Tong said to the bearded guard in front: "Zhou Chu, go out and take a look."
The bearded guard is named Zhou Chu. The guard commander in the palace is Su Shi. There are also two deputy commanders, one is Zhou Chu and the other is Qian Wenxi, who did not come with him today.
Zhou Chu went out for just a few breaths, then turned around and came back: "Young Master, he is from Fan Tower, but the person taking the lead should be a guest from other pavilions."
Zhao Tong nodded, knowing that when the little maid came out to look for Zhao Yuannu, she was followed by someone from the pavilion over there, and then someone from Fan Lou came over with her.
At this time, the noise was very close, and he said: "Don't close the door, just let them listen to Mrs. Zhao's lyrics."
Zhou Chu responded and went out. Zhao Tao said to the confused Zhao Yuannu in his arms: "Madam, sing me a song by Liu Sanbian's Phoenix Pavilion."
"Ah..." Zhao Yuannu was a little dumbfounded at this time. The guests over there and the people in Fanlou had come to the door. How could the young master still be interested in listening to the words?
"Master, but outside..." Zhao Yuannu's face turned pale. Footsteps had already arrived at the door. She heard the people in the Fan Tower negotiating with the guards in front of the door.
"Sing as long as you are told, and don't worry about outside matters." Zhao Tong said calmly.
Zhao Yuannu pouted, responded, and walked towards Nana. At this time, the tune of Phoenix Pavilion sounded. The women beside them didn't care what happened outside. Zhao Yu rewarded them. If they want to listen to Phoenix Pavilion, then they Just play Phoenix Pavilion.
The sound of Qu Le instantly mixed with the noise outside the door, and there was a vague sound of fighting coming in. Following a few screams, Zhao Yuannu also started singing, singing:
We meet each other in a hurry, but I feel sorry for the lack of kindness. In an instant, Yunyuren gave up...
