Lin Xiangyu smiled and said: "What does this mean? Mr. Cheng doesn't need to take it to heart. I am originally a thin horse from Yangzhou, and it is a fact that I came from a humble background. There is nothing that can't be said.
But I was only fourteen years old, and I had been locked up in a separate courtyard, learning skills from female masters. This body is pure and clean, and has never been touched by a man.
It was the good man Wang who saw that I was about to grow up and wanted to take him into his house and play with me. I didn't want to give in, so I took the risk of becoming a runaway slave. So I hope there won't be any false rumors spreading about my body being innocent. Can Mr. Cheng understand my feelings? "
Cheng Jing heard this and said yes again and again. Zhu Qiyu gave a few more instructions, and then Wang Cheng came over to report: "The fragrant soup is ready. Please take a bath and change your clothes, Mr. Lin."
Zhu Qiyu dismissed the two men and pulled Lin Xiangyu into the side hall.
As soon as I entered the side hall, I found that there was only a bathtub, and the water was covered with rose petals. Zhu Qiyu understood at a glance that the little eunuchs below were trying to relieve their worries for themselves.
Seeing Lin Xiangyu's pretty face red, her head lowered, she was just fiddling with the silk handkerchief in her hand. Zhu Qiyu smiled awkwardly and said: "I'm not strict with you, I'm making the girl laugh. Girl, please wash up while it's hot, I'll go to the front and take a look around."
Hearing this, Lin Xiangyu panicked and grabbed Zhu Qiyu's sleeve and begged: "Master, please don't go out. The slave family is afraid that someone from the Wang family will suddenly break in."
Zhu Qiyu smiled helplessly and said: "The Wang family are not immortals, how can they come so fast. Okay, you can rest assured, I will be humble for once and guard the door for you outside. Is that okay?" "
Lin Xiangyu then let go of her hand, but she still told her uneasily: "Young master, please don't fool me. You say you are guarding the door, but in fact you sneak away and go somewhere else to enjoy yourself."
Zhu Qiyu replied categorically: "That's not possible. A gentleman's promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold. Besides, the opportunity is rare. I still have to hold the window open and peek through the crack to watch the girl take a bath. Only those who have been kicked in the head by a donkey will go elsewhere. Let’s go shopping.”
Lin Xiangyu chuckled and went to change clothes behind the screen.
Zhu Qiyu turned around and went out, sitting at the door, leaning against the wall and looking at the sky, while listening to the sound of water in the room.
While Lin Xiangyu was washing, she called out to "Young Master" from time to time. Only when Zhu Qiyu loudly agreed did she feel at ease.
About half an hour later, the two of them just finished washing and dressed neatly. Zhu Qiyu shouted, and Cheng Jing, Wang Cheng and others took the food boxes into the small courtyard and came to the main room to wait.
Zhu Qiyu ordered: "Put down your lunch and you can go down. After we finish eating, we need to sleep for a while and have a good rest. Wait for the Wang family to arrive before calling us."
After hearing this, everyone hurriedly agreed, arranged the food, and left.
As soon as they left the yard, Wang Cheng pulled Cheng Jing and asked: "Mr. Cheng, you said that Miss Lin is so beautiful, it seems that our young master wants to accept her.
But we have only been out for a few days, and the young master already has a favorite concubine, and he even stole someone else's thin horse. Will the princess be angry with us when we go back? "
Cheng Jing heard the words and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? If you still want to live longer, if you still want to be rich and powerful, I advise you not to mention the word "skinny horse" again in your life.
As for the claim that the young master has an extra concubine, I advise you to wake up. There is absolutely no way that the young master would just let Miss Lin be a concubine. "
Wang Cheng asked in a low voice with a puzzled look on his face: "Our princess and concubine's positions are all full, what else can we do if we don't become concubines?"
Cheng Jing chuckled softly: "As the saying goes, it's hard to persuade a damn ghost with good words. I've said it, it's up to you whether you listen or not. Those who want boundless wealth should behave well in front of Miss Lin early. Those who don't want wealth, Then feel free to do whatever you want, anyway, don’t say I didn’t advise you to take the right path when the time comes.”
Several young eunuchs nodded doubtfully and followed Cheng Jing to the front hall for dinner.
There was silence for a while, until it was getting late, when a group of a hundred or ten people came to the gate of Wangyue Tower with a gorgeous carriage.
The visitors were giving orders and making noises, which attracted passers-by on the roadside and customers in the store to gather around to watch the fun.
Butler Wang, who had caused trouble at the city gate before, helped Wang Dashan from the carriage and ordered a group of servants to surround the inn.
When the innkeeper saw his boss coming, he quickly led his waiters forward and knelt down to salute.
Wang Dashan didn't say anything, he just asked someone to bring a chair over and sat on the street in front of the store.
Butler Wang asked: "Where are the people?"
The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly and replied: "Go back to the boss's house, go back to the housekeeper. As soon as those people came, they took over the small courtyard at the back and more than 20 upper rooms.
Our Miss Lin and the leading young man are living together in the small courtyard at the back. "
Steward Wang snorted coldly and angrily said: "What are you doing standing there, waiting to receive the reward? Why don't you go and blast them out."
The shopkeeper looked embarrassed and walked into the store, wondering how to deal with the guests staying in the hotel.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Qiyu took Lin Xiangyu out on his own initiative.
The shopkeeper, as if he had received an amnesty, hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Sir, our boss is here."
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and said with a smile: "I understand, it has nothing to do with you here, just step aside."
Cheng Jing sent someone to bring a chair and asked Zhu Qiyu to sit on the street, face to face with Wang Dashan.
Wang Dashan saw that Zhu Qiyu was extraordinary and had many servants following him, so he was not expected to be an ordinary person. Besides, Cheng Jing next to him had the title of eunuch Ouchi, so he didn't dare to get angry easily. I had to ask first:
"The girl next to the young master is a skinny horse raised by me. She escaped from the house yesterday when the guards were unprepared. Now that the young master takes her in, he is taking in a runaway slave. This is against the king's law.
If the young master is willing to return this lowly slave to me, then I will not pursue the crime of covering up a runaway slave. What do you think? "
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he smiled softly and asked, "Are you the good man Wang? I heard that you are a highly respected person in Baoding Mansion and have done countless good deeds. You are a good man who is deeply respected by the people?"
Wang Dashan replied: "I am the one who dares to ask the young master his name and surname?"
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "My surname is Jia. Your little girl likes to call me Jia, a good person. You can also call me that."
Wang Dashan was so angry that he stood up and roared: "Are you entertaining me? Well, since you insist on toasting and not eating, we will only follow the king's law. Do you think it is a crime to shelter escaped slaves?" deny?"
Zhu Qiyu was still calm and composed, and chuckled: "I did take in the escaped slaves, no problem."
"Okay, okay, if you dare to do what you want, you can be considered a good man. I bought this escaped slave from Yangzhou for one thousand taels of silver. I raised him at home, provided money and effort, and carefully trained him, which cost another three to four thousand taels of silver."
In other words, she is completely my personal belongings and a valuable property. Do you recognize this or not? "
Zhu Qiyu still smiled and said: "Yes, yes, it seems that Mr. Wang Dashan is really a good and law-abiding citizen. What he says is also reasonable and reasonable. This girl is indeed your personal property, and there is no problem."
After Wang Dashan heard this, he slowly sat back on the chair and said with a relaxed smile: "Since you plead guilty, it's easy. You and this bitch will be arrested obediently, and I will take you to the government office to surrender and be punished."
At this time, Lin Xiangyu stood up and said to Wang Dashan with a firm face: "I will go back with you and kill as many as you like. Don't make things difficult for me. I want to escape myself and it has nothing to do with him."
Wang Dashanren sneered and said: "Good man Jia, you are really a good man. It only took a long time to let this slave talk to you like a young master, and to call him so affectionate is really a good trick."
It's just that the strong dragon can't overpower the local snake. Today I want you to come or go. If you have anything else to say, tell me. "
Zhu Qiyu stood up, took a few steps forward, came to Wang Dashanren, smiled apologetically and said: "I'm sorry, Dashanren, something happened to you.
For the sake of being so reasonable, I'll give you one day to go home and make arrangements for your funeral. "
