Shaoyao looked at Liu Qiaoer, whose face looked ageless, and felt deeply moved.
"Girl, let's go into the boat and talk."
Liu Qiaoer brought Yun Zheng into Zuiyuefang’s cabin.
The Zui Le Fang ship is new, one floor higher than the previous two floors. The top floor is reserved for VIPs. There is only one room, which is very large and decorated in an elegant and luxurious manner.
Open the windows on both sides and you can enjoy the night view of both banks while sitting in the house. You can also see the stars reflected in the river. The scenery is pleasant.
Shaoyao asked someone to bring Liu Qiaoer's favorite dishes and favorite wine.
Liu Qiao'er was also happy: "It's rare that you still remember."
Shaoyao is now much more stable than when she was young. When she was young, she was like a little pepper and a firecracker, which could be easily ignited.
Nowadays, he speaks and acts in a steady and tactful manner.
Shaoyao personally poured wine for Liu Qiaoer and also poured a glass for Yun Zheng.
After pouring it, she looked up at him, her charming eyes full of surprise.
"Miss, this young master looks like Mr. Lu when he was young."
Liu Qiaoer nodded: "His name is Yun Zheng, and he is the eldest son of the Yun family."
"Yun Zheng?" Shaoyao looked him up and down and smiled, "If I hadn't known that the eldest master would not be so young now, I would have almost made a mistake. Isn't Mr. Lu's full name Yun Zheng?"
Liu Qiaoer smiled: "It is indeed two people."
Shaoyao also laughed: "It must be two people. Master Lu would never treat a girl like this."
Lu Yunzheng likes Liu Qiaoer, and even his loving eyes can't deceive anyone.
Yun Zheng's eyes were mostly filled with suspicion and vigilance.
Liu Qiaoer ate a few bites of food, drank two glasses of wine, and after exchanging pleasantries, she finally got to the point.
"Peony, do we have any news from other places recently?"
Shaoyao was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly: "We, Zui Le Fang, came to the capital to collect information. Now we will also sell it to the public, depending on the importance of the information."
"We have people from Zuiyuefang all over the place. Whatever information the young lady wants, Shaoyao will tell her everything she knows."
Yun Zheng naturally knew that Zui Le Fang, the largest brothel in the capital, sold information for 100 taels per piece. If the information was important, the price would be increased.
Usually the customer raises the question first, and Zui Le Fang then goes to search for information, which can be done in as little as an hour. Then the customer gives the price, handing over the information and the money.
Since Liu Qiaoer is their boss, she naturally doesn't need it.
Shaoyao glanced at Yun Zheng and said, "Okay, let's talk about the Yun family first. What information do you have?"
Shaoyao glanced at Yun Zheng and bent down slightly: "Miss, please wait a moment, I will go get it."
Shaoyao left. Yun Zheng frowned, drank a glass of wine, and looked straight at Liu Qiaoer.
"Could it be that Zuiyuefang belongs to Fuyumen? They call you the owner of the place, so you are the owner here. But the Liu family's money was confiscated, and I don't remember you knowing anyone from Zuiyuefang. If you knew them, why did you need me to rescue you when you were in Yeyouting?"
Liu Qiaoer didn't say anything, and Ren Yunzheng guessed.
Because she didn't know how to explain it either. Time travel was like returning to life through another's body.
She was still in the secret realm one second ago, and the next second she arrived twenty-five years later.
She was also given a strange task and she didn't know who to turn to for justice.
Not long after, Shaoyao came in with a book.
"Miss, this contains detailed information about officials in the imperial court of Beijing. The Yun family is in this book."
Liu Qiaoer took it and said that the information was sorted according to the first letter of the Chinese pinyin. These were the methods Liu Qiaoer taught them.
If others don’t know Chinese pinyin, it will take some time to find information.
But Liu Qiaoer was able to turn it over in one go.
She read ten lines at a glance and recorded the history of the three generations of the Yun family.
Yun Zheng's grandfather was just a scholar who taught in his hometown. Yun Zheng's father passed the imperial examination and married Yun Zheng's mother, a lady from a noble family in Beijing.
At the beginning, Yun Zheng’s father’s official position was not high-ranking. Because of the support of his maternal family, he stayed in the capital and never went anywhere.
From a sixth-rank official, he worked his way up to become the Imperial Censor.
The real promotion came when Yun Zheng grew up and passed the imperial examination and became the third place in the imperial examination. The father and son served in the same court. Yun Zheng's maternal family began to decline, and the Yun family slowly rose.
Yun Zheng's maternal grandfather's family used to belong to the third prince. After Zhao Ziyu became emperor, his maternal family never produced any talented people to serve as officials in the court again.
He turned to business, but not everyone can do business. He was almost defeated by Lu Yunqing and his ancestral home was almost lost.
After Yun Zheng passed the imperial examination and became the third place in the imperial examination, his maternal family relied on the Yun family to expand their business back home, and only then did they settle down.
Yun Zheng's father had a straightforward temper, and Zhao Ziyu also liked such loyal ministers. Also, because he saw that Yun Zheng was young and promising, he promoted both father and son.
The family background is recorded, and then it’s personal matters.
It is also possible to find out how many wives and concubines Yun Zheng's father had, and whether he was engaged in his hometown, but these are not important.
There are also records of Yun Zheng's engagement to the eldest daughter of the Liu family.
Parentheses were also added to show that Yun Zheng had more frequent contact with the second daughter of the Liu family.
As Liu Qiaoer watched, Shaoyao recited everything about Yun Zheng as if she was reciting a book.
Even the fact that he went to Yeyouting to find Concubine Yun was recorded.
"The Yun family suffered a heavy blow, and Concubine Yun fell ill. Now the Yun family has returned to their hometown to observe mourning for three years."
Liu Qiaoer closed the book with a snap.
"How is it? Did our people remember it correctly? If you want to know anything else, you can only pay for what happens next."
It’s all so detailed, except for how many bowls of rice Yun Zheng eats every day and how many times he goes to the toilet.
Yun Zheng’s face was gloomy.
"What if I want to know about you?"
Shaoyao smiled contemptuously: "Young Master, you know too much. You won't live long."
Liu Qiaoer returned the information to Shaoyao: "Let's get back to the point. I came here today to look at Fu Yumen's information. I want to know how many people they have buried in the capital, and how many people they can use."
"Fu Yumen? That's easy. We have some of their people among them."
After saying this, Shaoyao got up and left.
This is true. As spies, they were inserted into every corner and every organization. There were people from Zuiyuefang in the homes of court officials and the imperial palace.
Fu Yumen is of course no exception.
As soon as Shaoyao left, the room became very quiet.
Then Liu Qiaoer said quietly, "Actually, this Zuiyuefang is not mine. It belongs to Lu Yunzheng, their former master, Mr. Lu."
"Lu Yunzheng..." Yun Zheng had never heard of this name, because when he was born, the group of people who went to the secret realm had long disappeared.
Yun Zheng is only twenty-one years old this year.
Once a person dies, if no relatives miss him/her, he/she will gradually be forgotten by the world.
"You are younger than me, how do you know Mr. Lu..." Yun Zheng asked with puzzled eyes...
Liu Qiaoer covered her face, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.
"Some things are best left unsaid. Don't ask. You just need to know that I can help you get revenge, that's all."
Yun Zheng took a deep breath, took a sip of wine, and didn't know what to feel.
The woman in front of me is familiar yet unfamiliar.
It was her face that was familiar; it was indeed his wife.
What is strange is her as a person.
Suddenly, Yun Zheng took another sip of wine and asked cautiously.
"You are not the Liu Qiao'er of the past."
Liu Qiaoer was slightly startled.
