For a rebellious son like Xie Mengxia, his own father no longer cares about his marriage. Since he has lost his mother, others will naturally not care about him. From now on, no one will care about him. He is happy and carefree, calling his slaves and maids all day long. Very uncomfortable.
"Your Highness, oh, no, young master, I have checked, and there are thirty-three in total, all of them are Hu Ji." He Cai followed Xie Mengxia as if urging, and replied with a smile on his face, he is a smart man Since he left Chang'an City and followed this unreliable master and embarked on the long road of no return from home, he has changed his name.
"How old are they?" Xie Mengxia walked forward without looking back. At that time, she was only focused on robbing people, and she didn't even see the appearance and age of these Hu Ji.
"There are six of them, the oldest is eighteen, the youngest is thirteen, and there are sixteen, the oldest is only twenty-five or six years old, and they all look pretty good. The rest are middle-aged and charming ladies. I still have it." He Cai has a clear mind and a good memory. He has a photographic memory of everything he sees. No matter how messy it is, he can remember it clearly and accurately by just saying it once.
"A half-old lady, the kind who still has her charm." Xie Mengxia turned around and opened his mouth to scold: "You are just out of your mind. What are you doing to rob a half-old lady? No matter how charming you still are, she is too old to be seen. , where is the little Hu Ji Shui Ling, why should I take it as an offering to the ancestors?"
He Cai stuttered: "Well, how about I send them all to the front hall to do chores?"
"What kind of chores are you doing? I can't keep more than a dozen mouths." Xie Mengxia waved her hands impatiently and continued walking forward.
Just kidding, his money didn't come from the strong wind.
"Then, what should we do?"
"Cut them all, there's no use keeping them." Xie Mengxia said without mercy.
He Cai staggered: "Young master, I have chopped them all, more than ten bites."
Xie Mengxia stopped and looked at He Cai and said: "Yes, they are all human lives. It is not good to kill too many people. Otherwise, I will reward you and you can take them home as offerings to your ancestors."
He Cai staggered and took a step back, saying repeatedly: "No, no, no, villain, villains are not blessed to suffer, either, or find someone to betray them and sell them out."
Xie Mengxia raised his eyebrows slightly and flicked his fingertips: "Well, that's fine. I can still earn some money. Whether I live or die in the future is not my fault."
He walked quickly for a few steps, suddenly remembered something, turned back and pointed at He Cai, and said mysteriously: "You, go, um, call over the singers and dancers that I bought before, and tell them that today I'm happy, I've served you well and you'll be rewarded, those beautiful orchids are all washed, put on the new clothes I had someone make a few days ago, and brought in during dinner time."
He Cai blinked, nodded understandingly, and turned to work.
After being snatched back, these orchids were packed into a dark and spacious room.
Suddenly pulled out, the bright sunlight shone on their eyes. They involuntarily raised their hands to cover their eyes, and they were still a little dazed.
Xie Mengxia had prepared Kong Wu's powerful summoning woman early, and it was just in time to use it. The two women, one on the left and the other on the right, carried a Hu Ji and walked towards the hunchang.
The big rough hands clamped their arms very powerfully, making them unable to run away. In fact, Xie Mengxia was overly worried. Even if the Orchids were allowed to run away now, they would not run away. What could they do if they ran out? The same uncertain future, the same Israeli servant.
The original owner of this house was a Suzhou businessman who was doing business in Ganzhou City. When he got old and couldn't run anymore, he sold the house and returned to Suzhou to retire.
The house was built in a very orderly manner. There were rows of Taihu stones in the garden, and the water poured from the top of the stone. There were lush bamboos, bananas and cherries planted beside the pond. Various flowers and trees were planted along the eaves of the corridor, and they were beautifully trimmed.
It's a pity that at this time of year, the cherries have lost all their leaves, the plantains are bare, and all the flowers and trees are left with only empty dead branches. Only the bamboo forest still has some green.
But Xie Mengxia never went to the bamboo forest because he thought the forest was too dark and was afraid of stepping on a snake.
After he moved in, he hung a row of exquisite bird cages in the corridor and raised various rare birds. When he was not watching the beauties singing and dancing, he would play with the birds. It was much more interesting and comfortable than what he had lived in Chang'an City. too much.
Wisps of white smoke escaped from the closed doors and windows. When the door of the hall was opened, a wave of heat hit the face.
There were dozens of orchids standing on two sides of the hall.
An older woman counted the number of people and waved her hand when she saw that everyone was here.
The women next to them stepped forward one after another, stripped off the clothes from the Orchids, and threw them aside.
The Orchids all exclaimed in surprise, hurriedly folding their arms, and shivering shyly.
"What's it called? It seems like no one has seen it before." The older woman stepped forward and walked among the group of young wives to examine them carefully.
Only Hu Ji, named Ban Rui, did not exclaim. Although she looked normal, she also crossed her arms tightly, but she was not as shy as others, but stood right next to the window crack, shivering from the cold.
It seems that those women often check Hu Ji, and they are very organized. They look at the hands and legs, the face and teeth, the armpits and heels, and they look carefully.
A gust of wind came in through the cracks in the window, sending chills down her spine. She shivered, her skin trembled, and small pimples appeared all over her body.
The woman had already walked up to the weak body and raised her arm to examine it carefully.
Banwei's hair went straight up at the sight, and goosebumps were rising on his body. He wanted to hide but couldn't, so he had to lower his head and let others look at him.
The woman looked over Ban Rui's body, and finally looked at the birthmark on her collarbone, shook her head, and said regretfully: "The bones are good, but there are scars on the body. I am not worthy of serving the master, so I will be a rough messenger in the house." Just girl."
Hearing this, Ban Rui secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
I can finally escape the fate of being a waiter in Israel. Being a rough girl will eventually lead me to success. It is always a thousand times better than being a concubine.
The night was getting darker, after dinner, Xie Mengxia, who was full of wine and food, was leaning on the imperial concubine's couch. He wore a ginger-yellow tunic, which exposed his bare feet.
Kneeling next to the imperial concubine's bed was an orchid girl, with her long hair wet and scattered. She was only wrapped in a long plain white scarf up to her chest. Her slender arms stretched out and her bare hands were on Xie Mengxia's legs, pressing them gently or not heavily.
Xie Mengxia half-squinted her eyes, put her hand on Hu Ji's smooth shoulder, tapped it gently, and listened to the melodious and clear pipa music with great concentration.
He Cai walked in quietly with small steps, saluted and said: "Master, we have brought them. After the physical examination mama carefully examined them, there are only eighteen left. The remaining ones will be arranged to do rough work in the inner house." It’s a girl.”
"Eighteen, that's quite a lot, bring them all up." Xie Mengxia waved his hand listlessly: "Tell them all to step back."
As if they had received an amnesty, the Pipa girls all held their Pipas in their arms, followed the servants, and filed out without even daring to look back.
He Cai gave three high fives, and eighteen orchids walked in with their bare feet and wet bodies, leaving small footprints on the gold bricks on the ground.
These Hu Ji stood uneasily, with only a plain white gauze covering their bodies. There were still water drops on their long hair, which dripped onto their skin, making them a little cold.
Xie Mengxia's eyes were like daggers, and she scanned the Orchids in amazement, and finally said in confusion: "I personally brought it back today, why is there only one left, the one with excellent bones?"
"Oh, um, the physical examination grandma said that she has scars on her body and she was sent to the inner house to be a rough girl." He Cai said hurriedly.
"It's a pity that there are scars." Xie Mengxia thought for a moment and didn't ask any more. He pointed at the other Hu Ji he brought back on horseback today, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "You stay and serve, and the others Go back first and come back tomorrow night.”
The other Hu Ji silently breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the Hu Ji with some unbearable eyes.
Hu Ji was trembling with fear. This unknown young master had only been here for a short time, but he hung out in the brothel every day. Although he spent a lot of money, he had a fierce reputation. Hu Ji, who had served him, had to die. Even if he is injured, if it is not the right time, he will always pay a large sum of money as compensation. No brothel will tolerate him for such a long time.
Hu Ji knew in her heart that this handsome and kind-hearted young man was not easy to take care of. She knew that he was not a good person, but she couldn't imagine how bad he was. But she just watched him humiliate poor people like them tonight. His behavior is extremely bad.
Xie Mengxia had no sympathy for her at all. She grabbed Hu Ji's arm, dragged her to the bed, stuffed her deep into the bed, put down the curtain, squinted and smiled: "Lie down and don't move, otherwise, you will Dead."
Hu Ji trembled, and her face turned pale in an instant.
Xie Mengxia winked at He Cai, and the two of them walked out of the house, walked to the eaves of the corridor, and whispered: "Do you understand?"
He Cai nodded: "This group of female relatives of the Fang family were all captured from different families. They don't recognize each other. It seems like someone did it deliberately."
Xie Mengxia frowned slightly: "What scars does she have on her body?"
He Cai said: "My subordinates have all asked clearly. There is a green lotus-shaped birthmark on her left clavicle, about the size of a thumb."
Xie Mengxia said with doubts: "Did Fang Lingyun's daughter's body have been burned the day before yesterday?"
He Cai said: "Yes, there is no proof of death."
Xie Mengxia nodded: "Okay, let her come and change my clothes tomorrow morning."
He Cai raised his eyebrows: "I understand, Your Highness, don't let the beauty wait too long."
Xie Mengxia raised his hand and slapped He Cai on the back. He smiled and scolded: "You think I died too slowly. Go and call that so-and-so over. I can't bear that beauty. I'll take advantage of him." ”
He Cai curled his lips and said, "If you have a thief's heart, you don't have the courage."
"What did you say? Say it again." Xie Mengxia yelled, preparing to kick He Cai.
He Cai ran away quickly and said with a smile: "I didn't say anything. Your Highness, please rest quickly. I will send someone to go immediately."
