Three days ago——
In the private room on the third floor of the Xuanji Building, the man sitting in the seat was in his prime, and his face was still full of tipsy wine, but he still couldn't hide the joyful look on his face.
Thinking about it, I have given a lot of money to the Zuo Prime Minister in the past years, but the people in the government who want to join the Zuo Prime Minister are like crucian carp crossing the river. If there is no one to bridge the gap, the Zuo Prime Minister will not be moved by the small money at all.
Fortunately, a few days ago, he caught up with Wang Ming'an, the minister of war under Zuo Xiang, and was recommended by Zuo Xiang to the emperor as Jianghuai Lang's supervisor. If he can do this job well, he will definitely be favored by Zuo Xiang, and he will be able to rise to prominence in the future. .
Just as he was happily looking forward to the beauty of the future, the door of the box was opened, and a graceful woman with an extremely charming appearance walked in.
"Master Sun, you haven't come to see Mei Niang dance for a long time. Have you forgotten Mei Niang?"
Xu Jiaojiao had a smile on her face and was naturally charming, which made Sun Mao feel itchy in his heart.
He hurriedly explained: "Oh, Mei Niang, you have wronged me! I have just been appointed as the supervisor and beheader, and I am very busy. Didn't I come looking for you as soon as I finish my work? You can't annoy me!"
Xu Jiaojiao looked at him angrily, with a hint of complaint in her eyes, "You also said that your daughter and our boss were making a big fuss. I thought you were angry and didn't want to come."
When Sun Mao heard this, his face suddenly darkened.
Thinking back to when that dead girl asked him to invite Su Jingqian in the name of appreciating poems and lyrics, he would certainly not refuse. If he could establish a relationship with Su Jingqian, then he would climb up to the high branch of Prince Lu. Besides, Su Jingqian He has strong financial resources. If his daughter really has anything to do with him, doesn't his Xuanji Tower also have his share? Not to mention that he can enjoy the beauty of Xuanji Tower as he pleases, the money alone is enough for him to bribe the left prime minister.
Who knew that this dead girl didn't know what to do with her, so she was so jealous that she beat people in the street, and even angered Prince Lu. Isn't she just a woman? It is reasonable for a man like Su Jingqian to have a group of wives and concubines. He did not know how to seize the opportunity at all. His efforts for a month and a half were in vain!
He was still worried for a long time, fearing that Prince Lu would blame him. Fortunately, Su Jingqian was a generous man and didn't care about it. He also said a good word to Prince Lu on his behalf, so the matter settled down.
Sun Mao thought about it, a smile appeared on his face, and he unconsciously slowed down his voice, "Why am I angry with you? It's all because of that damn girl who doesn't know how to behave. Don't worry, I have arranged a marriage for her." , I will get married after the Chinese New Year, and I won’t bother Young Master Su anymore. But I haven’t seen Young Master Su recently, so I have to trouble Meiniang to apologize to Young Master Su for me.”
Xu Jiao smiled coquettishly and walked around behind Sun Mao, gently put her slender hands on his shoulders, blew into his ear, and said softly: "Master Sun wants me to deliver a message, so what good will I do? ?”
Sun Mao immediately straightened up and looked at the jade hand on his shoulder in flattery. He knew that top names like Mei Niang and Le Yao would never get close to men. They usually left straight away after performing their performances, not even accompanying them for drinks.
Could it be that Mei Niang found out that she had been promoted and had a backer like the Left Prime Minister and wanted to commit herself to him? Was the benefit she said just to let him redeem her life in the future?
When Sun Mao was in a state of mind, he heard Xu Jiaojiao's soft and soft voice in his ears: "Sir, I heard that the Supervising Officer has a token. Mei Niang has never seen the Supervising Officer's token. , I wonder if I’ll be lucky enough to meet you today?”
Sun Mao looked stern, stood up suddenly, and Xu Jiaojiao's hand that moved towards her body fell away. He turned his back to her, and touched the skirt of his chest warily, and then said seriously: "The order of supervision and execution is the Holy Majesty's Majesty's. How can you enjoy what you have been given at will? Besides, I didn’t take it with me when I went out today.”
Xu Jiaojiao was not at all annoyed by his sudden indifferent attitude. Instead, she smiled charmingly, walked up to him and coaxed softly: "Mei Niang just said it casually, look how anxious you are. Mei Niang is just a useless person." A helpless little girl, what is that thing doing? I just want to see if there is Mei Niang in the adult's heart." She took out a handkerchief and wiped it at the corner of her eyes, then choked and said, "In the final analysis, Mei Niang just doesn't want to Just spend your whole life alone in this brothel."
Sun Mao's heart moved. It turned out that she was testing his feelings for her. Women are indeed the same, they always like to test men's thoughts. Then I thought again, could it be that she really fell in love with him?
He looked at her calmly and said nothing, wanting to see if what she said was true or false.
Seeing that his expression softened, Xu Jiaojiao gave him a shy look, a blush appeared on her cheeks, she bit her lip, and then said softly: "If you really like Mei Niang, then... then you won't do it tonight." Let’s go.”
Who can bear such hints from this delicate beauty? Sun Mao was overjoyed, hugged the beauty in front of him, and asked eagerly: "Are you really willing to commit yourself to me?"
The beauty in her arms nodded shyly, then gently pushed him away and looked away, "Don't worry, it's a long night. I'll go change into my dance clothes first, and then let the kitchen prepare some good wine and food. You'll be waiting for me later." How about drinking and eating food while watching me dance?"
Knowing that she was shy and wanted to prepare, Sun Mao nodded with a happy face, "Okay, go and come back quickly."
Xu Jiaojiao closed the door, the smile on her face disappeared instantly, and there was a hint of disgust in her eyes. She winked at the boy at the door and walked towards the fourth floor.
Xu Jiaojiao saluted Su Jingqian, "Master, the token is on him."
"Yes." Su Jingqian closed his eyes and leaned lazily on the soft couch. Without moving his eyelids, he turned to Zi Heng who was standing aside, "How did you learn?"
A faint smile appeared on Zi Heng's handsome face, which contained a confident determination: "Master, after one and a half months, it's almost 90%."
"Very good." Su Jingqian slowly opened his eyes. There was still lingering tiredness in his eyes. There was an indescribable lazy charm, but his voice was so indifferent that there was no emotion at all, "Let's do it."
…
Early the next morning, there were intermittent knocks at the door of a guest room in Xuanji Building.
Along with the knock on the door came a soft call.
"My lord, my lord."
On the bed, a middle-aged man woke up from his dream holding a woman with a warm and fragrant soft jade. The man frowned in displeasure when he heard the sound and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Madam heard that you stayed at Xuanji Tower last night and lost your temper. The young master and young lady specially sent a young man to find you back home."
The boy saw a man sitting on the bed wearing underwear through the slightly opened door. The door was filled with incense and the red gauze tent was warm. The clothes of the man and the woman were scattered on the floor.
"I know, I'll go back right away." The man quickly put on his clothes, put the execution order on the table into his arms, and strode out the door.
The woman on the bed slowly opened her eyes, her eyes as charming as silk, and a smile on her lips.
The boy who came to look for the person did not see a completely unrecognizable corpse lying on the ground in the corner of the room.
