Both Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang felt deeply guilty for thinking that Zhou Yiming had embezzled the huge sum of money. They cursed in their hearts that they were not human beings. Brother Zhou was doing nothing in Hua Man Lou Bai based on his ability. This was his ability. , I should be proud of him for having such a brother, but I have no reason to guess that Brother Zhou stole the money. People who have such thoughts are worse than pigs and dogs.
"Captain Zhou is really amazing!"
"I have never convinced anyone. Today, Capt. Zhou convinced me to the fullest."
"From now on, I will follow Zhou's lead and follow the lead of the horse, and I will never have second thoughts."
"Just follow Mr. Zhou, there will definitely be a future."
The government officials couldn't help but start boasting about Zhou Ming in all kinds of ways, regardless of where they were or who was next to them.
Seeing the officials praising Zhou Ming so sincerely, Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang turned red and felt ashamed. The thought of seeing Zhou Ming's jokes had been forgotten by them. They even wanted to join in the praise of Zhou Ming. Among them, considering their status as Yiming Ming's boss, the two of them still did not lose their temper.
The two of them know one truth: If you can't defeat your enemy, then join him.
Both of them secretly made up their minds that in the future, without sufficient evidence or sufficient benefits, they would never easily go against people like Zhou Ming, otherwise they would die without knowing how.
Just like today, it's a good thing that Zhou Ming didn't know their methods and intentions, otherwise they would have no good harvest.
The little maid was very disgusted when she saw Deng Tong and the others acting crazy, so she said with an unhappy face: "You have nothing to ask now, right? You can't leave without me."
Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang quickly clasped their fists and handed over their hands: "Thank you, miss. We are being polite. The doubts in our hearts have been cleared. Miss, please do as you please."
The little maid finally got relief, turned around and walked away angrily.
All the yamen servants looked at the flower hall door, each one secretly lost in thought, thinking that they must ask Yi Ming tomorrow what it feels like to serve like an oiran.
Deng Tong knew Yi Ming's temper. If this kid knew that these people were here waiting to see his jokes tomorrow, he would definitely deal with them severely. Just in case, he had to do some work in advance to prevent these people from getting serious. Mouth, tell what happened today.
"It's getting late. Now that Zhou Captou has successfully captured the Oiran, we don't have to worry about him here. Before I go to rest, I have a few words to say to everyone."
Seeing how serious Deng Tong suddenly became, all the government officials looked at him, waiting for him to continue.
Deng Tong organized his words: "That's it. Zhou Captou has been busy with official duties recently and is exhausted physically and mentally. There are many things that should be kept away from him if possible.
We are worried about him here today out of brotherly loyalty. We don’t need to let him know, we just understand in our hearts.
I hope you will be stricter and don't tell this matter. "
The officials didn't say anything, they all felt that Deng Tong was too shameless. He was the one who had just called everyone here to see Yi Ming make a fool of himself. However, Yi Ming relied on his own ability to stand out and win over the oiran girl, making a fool of himself. His plan didn't work. Now he is afraid that if everyone tells the story, Zhou Yiming will cause trouble for him. Now he wants everyone to keep it a secret. He is simply not a man.
Although there were many complaints in their hearts, since Deng Tong was their superior, everyone had no choice but to express their agreement.
After receiving a satisfactory answer, Deng Tong smiled all over his face: "Okay, we have gained a lot in Huamanlou today. Brother Zhou can win the oiran girl, which is of course an unparalleled honor. We can't be idle, all the money has been spent." After we go out, the girls are waiting upstairs, and the brothers are walking."
At the command, all the government officials followed Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang upstairs to have fun.
In the flower hall.
The dignitaries who failed in the election of the Oiran's patrons were all in despair and sadness, but none of them left. Everyone was filled with a belief in protecting the Oiran until the last moment. Of course, This is just a nice way of saying it, an excuse to cover up one's own vulgar taste.
In fact, they all have another idea in mind. Since they can't taste the apple, it is also a kind of enjoyment to listen to the sound of other people eating apples. After all, that apple is unique and unique in the world. Although they cannot personally participate in the eating process, But being able to hear the sounds of that process gives them a sense of being a part of it.
This advanced concept is not understood in this era. Even in the era before Zhou Ming traveled through time, people only had some superficial understanding of this concept. However, people have reached a consensus of despising it and returning it to this concept. He gave it a nice name: "Lian-tai".
Zhou Ming, who was sitting in the oiran girl's bedroom, certainly didn't know about the unique hobbies of these dignitaries. If he knew, he would definitely rush out immediately and give these people a big thumbs up, because he finally found someone who was incompatible with these people. s reason.
Zhou Ming, who has never been to a place like this in his two lifetimes, feels like a bride getting into a sedan chair, with a mixture of anxiety and expectation, and expectation mixed with some fear. In short, it is a mixed bag of emotions that cannot be described.
The little maid who took Zhou Ming into the bedroom poured a cup of tea for Zhou Ming, and then silently left, leaving only Zhou Ming alone.
Zhou Yiming drank tea while observing the bedroom carefully.
The room is small, luxuriously decorated, and the furniture is antique, giving off a bookish atmosphere. Under the swaying candlelight, the room reveals a sense of tranquility and elegance.
What impressed Zhou Ming the most was the smell in the bedroom. This smell didn't seem to come from incense, flowers, or mahogany furniture.
Just as Zhou Yiming was thinking about where these fragrances came from, the faint fragrance suddenly became stronger, and then the sound of footsteps sounded. The oiran girl held the tray in her hands and walked in from the door with swaying steps. There was no maid or maid following behind her.
There is a jug of wine and two glasses on the tray.
The oiran girl was smiling and looking forward. Although she met Zhou Ming for the first time today, she was not shy at all. Every look she looked at Zhou Ming was burning.
Zhou Yiming couldn't help but his heart was beating wildly. This oiran girl was really hard to resist. This kind of self-confidence alone was something ordinary women didn't have.
The oiran girl placed the tray on the table and walked slowly to the center of the room.
Zhou Yiming felt a little nervous, because it was indeed his first time to come to such a place, and he didn't know what to do next? Do you need to take a shower first? But that would waste a lot of time. As the saying goes, it's a long night, and I finally won the lottery, but it must be worth the price.
Zhou Yiming was afraid that he would be ridiculed because he didn't understand the rules, so he imitated Lin Daiyu's trick. He sat firmly on the chair and did nothing. He planned to be completely at the mercy of the oiran girl.
Just as Zhou Ming was looking forward to the next program, the oiran girl stood in the middle of the room, suddenly knelt down to Zhou Ming, kowtowed several times, and muttered something.
"Master Zhou is not afraid of power, eliminates harm for the people, and avenges innocent sisters. The Nu family is here to thank Master Zhou for those dead sisters."
Zhou Yiming was stunned on the spot, and suddenly understood in his heart. It turned out that the oiran girl was not moved by her handsomeness and charm, but by her heroic spirit after knowing her identity.
After thinking about this, he felt a little disappointed. Is my appearance so ruined? So insignificant in front of the court lady?
But what gave him some comfort was that heroism was also an important part of charm. Being moved by this point, the oiran girl was not blind, not to mention her words, she was a thoughtful person. This kind of fireworks It is not easy to maintain such original intention in this place.
Zhou Yiming quickly stood up and reached out to help the oiran girl: "Girl, why are you doing this?
I, Zhou Ming, am receiving a salary from the imperial court. It is my duty to hunt down criminals and eliminate harm for the people as an official of the imperial court. This girl is only hurting me by doing this. "
The oiran girl showed her weak side for the first time and said softly: "Zhou Yingxiong may think this is a small matter, but for us weak women, it is a big deal."
Zhou Yiming listened to what he said and immediately asked: "Did the girl almost get killed? Or is there a relative in the girl's family who was brutally murdered?"
The oiran girl looked melancholy and shook her head: "At the time of the disappearance, strange to say, no one in my Huamanlou was killed. Maybe those thieves also disliked us.
As for relatives and family members, the little girl has been alone all her life. How can she be so lucky to have a family? "
After saying this, the oiran girl let out a long sigh, her eyes slightly red.
Zhou Yiming was stunned. The oiran girl was extremely beautiful and had a miserable life experience. Now she is trapped in a place with fireworks like Huamanlou. If we follow the routine of romantic and talented novels, then should she and I fall in love? Xiang Yue, rescue her from the sea of misery, and then abandon her home and career for her, live in both places, and wander to the ends of the earth?
Seeing the oiran girl looking at him, Zhou Yiming quickly put back his scattered thoughts and comforted him: "Girl, don't think too much. The world is unpredictable. It's not a bad thing to have no home, no job, no worries."
"Young Master is truly a hero. Every word he speaks is extraordinary. I am truly lucky to have met you. Today I can dedicate this innocent body to you, and I will die without regrets."
Before the oiran girl finished speaking, she already shed two drops of clear tears.
Zhou Yiming took a breath in his heart, this oiran girl is so good, her beauty is as good as her tricks. I must not mess up. In this flower-filled building, you can do anything, but you can't be emotional.
"I hope it's not a wrong love." Zhou Ming smiled slightly and said it quite appropriately without getting too emotional. This prevented the oiran girl from further attacking.
The oiran girl smiled slightly, knowing in her heart that Yi Ming was by no means an ordinary person, someone who could not be easily dealt with, so she had another plan in mind.
