Chapter 133 Return to Nanjing

All parties who went to Yangzhou this time completed their tasks, and Shouning Hou suffered no major damage. After all, they themselves made a mistake and crossed the line into Prince Ning's sphere of influence. They shouldn't blame others in turn, right?

On the way, Su Xiaolou leaned on the chair and raised his feet on the table.

"Xiong Er, did you make a lot of money this time?"

Xiong Er said seriously: "Boss, do you think I am that kind of corrupt person?"

Su Xiaolou said disdainfully: "You can't look like someone else."

"..."

"Tell me the truth about how much you earn."

Xiong Er patted the bundle and smiled proudly: "I made a total of several hundred taels of silver."

Su Xiaolou said disapprovingly: "Didn't you get something valuable?"

"That's enough. You can't be too greedy."

Su Xiaolou fell into deep thought: "Everyone knows that we are the notorious Jin Yiwei. Even if we do good deeds, others will suspect that we are holding back some evil, so why do we still pretend to be so noble? Do you think the Ministry of Punishment will hand over all the gold and silver? Treasure? We are just doing hard work. If we don’t get any credit and don’t make some money, then we should stop living."

Xiong Er nodded: "I understand."

Su Xiaolou took out a bag of gold bars from his arms and said, "Give some to the brothers."

Xiong Er said happily: "Boss is still generous. We will follow you in the future."

The passenger ship docked, and Su Xiaolou returned to Nanjing, where he had been away for many days.

…

Lai Qian drove the two little fairies back to Su's house in a carriage. When Yu Sheng opened the door, he happily told them that the young master was back.

The three ladies had different expressions. They walked in together and saw many items placed in the inner courtyard, all of which were treasures brought back by Su Xiaolou's escort.

Su Xiaolou is looking for a suitable place to place a huge ivory in the house.

"Are you back?"

"When did you come back?"

"At noon, I brought some things back for you. They are all upstairs."

The two little fairies abandoned Su Xiaolou and happily went upstairs. They saw many gift boxes lined up in the long corridor.

The two women happily distributed the gifts. When they went downstairs, they saw Su Xiaolou holding a big scarab beetle in his arms.

Su Xiaolou asked: "With the money, can this scarab be enshrined in our ancestral hall?"

Everyone rolled their eyes in unison. Which ancestral hall would enshrine a tortoise?

…

Three of the four famous courtesans in the south of the Yangtze River have died, and a new oiran competition has begun again.

Yue Qingyan sat in front of the window watering the flowers. As one of the Four Wonders of Jiangnan in the past, she knew that today was an important day. Although she chose to hide in the brothel for revenge, she also hoped to obtain a legal identity, even a lowly Leji identity, at least to be able to move freely.

Su Xiaolou not only saved her life, but also moved her household registration to the Su Mansion and changed her household registration to a military household.

Although the status of a military household is not high, it is much better than that of a Le household, at least it is no longer a lowly status.

The Oiran Convention is held every four years and usually lasts for three days.

Three days later, the new Four Wonders of Jiangnan will emerge. People will gradually forget the past Four Wonders of Jiangnan. New people will replace the old ones. This is a normal rule.

Yue Qingyan felt inexplicably relaxed in her heart, as if she had been reborn. She was tired of that kind of life, and now a dull life was what she wanted.
