After thinking about it all night, Mrs. Fenxiang went to the Duke's Mansion with a group of women on the second day.
Although Mrs. Fenxiang and her subordinates are often the guests of some rich and powerful families in the imperial capital, they have never entered the mansions of those rich and powerful families.
After all, in the eyes of the world, especially the upper echelons of the imperial capital, Mrs. Fenxiang and these prostitutes are the most humble women, and their footsteps will only insult their own lintels.
Although the Duke's Mansion is in decline, it is still a hereditary Duke, a first-class wealthy family in the imperial capital. Yue Jinghua entertained a group of women in the capacity of a young master, which is already a great favor to Mrs. Fenxiang. face.
The girls got out of the carriage and saw the bright lights outside the Duke's mansion from a distance. A kind-looking young woman outside the gate of the mansion welcomed everyone into the mansion from the main entrance.
After some introductions, the woman brought everyone into the main hall of the Duke's Mansion, where tables of sumptuous delicacies had already been set up. It seems that the young lord of the duke's mansion really wants to entertain guests.
Madam Fenxiang was suspicious and sat down.
After a while, Yue Jinghua supported Lierou, and walked out with the female family members of the Duke's mansion.
Madam Fenxiang looked up, and saw the leading woman, with an elegant temperament, like a mountain snow lotus, she should be the Duchess by her appearance and conversation.
The young man who came after him had a jade-like face, a smile on his mouth, and looked very handsome in a white robe. It was difficult for people to associate him with the "little evil star" who was in the limelight in the Colosseum these days.
The women behind him also have their own merits.
Madam Fenxiang thought to herself, everyone said that the Duke's Mansion is a declining family, but looking at these people present, they all have their own merits.
It seems that at the banquet tonight, the meal is fake, but the Hongmen Banquet is real.
"Duchess, young lord," Madam Fenxiang smiled, her brows full of joy.
Madam Fenxiang is indeed a wonderful person who is used to all kinds of scenes, even though she is uneasy, she is even more resentful about Yue Jinghua's successive tricks to frame her subordinates.
But her all-round and exquisite character can be brought into full play on such occasions.
Lierou nodded her head. The housekeeper, Hongshan, had strongly protested earlier about inviting this group of Yingyingyanyan into the Duke's mansion.
But under Yue Jinghua's insistence, Lierou had no choice but to agree.
Lierou came from a wealthy family, and she had never met a woman like Mrs. Fenxiang before.
During the banquet, everyone ate the dishes prepared by Chixi, and talked about their daily interesting stories. Both sides tacitly did not mention the earlier conflict between the Duke's Mansion and Mrs. Fenxiang.
Mrs. Fenxiang was very eloquent, and her witty remarks made the atmosphere of the banquet much better.
Yue Jinghua talked about what he had seen and heard in the Shang Kingdom from time to time, and after the meal, both parties enjoyed themselves very much.
After drinking and eating, Lie Rou was supported by Hong Ling to go down.
Hong Yao also got up and led Mrs. Fenxiang's men to the courtyard of the Duke's Mansion under the pretext of digesting food.
At the banquet, only Madam Fenxiang and Yue Jinghua were left.
After laughing and laughing, both of them were thoughtful, clinging to the wine glass with only a little liquid left, but there was nothing to drink.
"My lord, you invited my concubine tonight, so you didn't mean to let me taste the new wine from the Duke's mansion, did you?" Madam Fenxiang shook the remaining wine in her hand, her expression became serious.
"Smart people like Madam know my intentions. I've always paid attention to reciprocity. If you secretly tampered with my grocery store, I will offer you two big gifts." Yue Jinghua was full of smiles.
"Hmph, the young master is as cunning as a fox, he is not afraid of being ridiculed when he takes out a group of weak women," Mrs. Fenxiang jumped up, and the wine glass fell to the ground, splitting into three or four petals.
She had inch-long nails on her ten fingers, and the base of her nails was bruised, obviously hiding an extremely powerful poison.
"Ma'am, a rabbit will bite when it's in a hurry, not to mention that I'm such a living person. Besides, you really think that what happened to your sister under your command is only my fault," Yue Jinghua threw a piece of paper In front of Mrs. Fenxiang.
Madam Fenxiang looked down, but it was a letter from Captain Chen to his wife.
The letter stated that Chen Duwei took another fancy to a beautiful woman outside, and wanted to get back the courtyard where Xiao Qiang lived. It clearly stated in the letter that Chen Duwei ordered his wife to beat up Xiao Qiang, not allowing her to take any belongings in the courtyard, and forcing her out.
Mrs. Fenxiang's eyes were about to burst into flames.
It is said that men are ruthless, but they never thought that Captain Chen, whom Xiao Qiang entrusted to her for life, would be such a wolf-hearted thing.
"Also, you scolded me for finding someone to insult your girl with a stubborn illness. You said it was a frame-up, but I said no. If you don't believe me, you can go to the courtyard with me." Yue Jinghua got up and held Mrs. Fenxiang Brought into the garden of the Duke's Mansion.
I saw beside the stone table in the garden, alchemist Feng Chuo was feeling the pulse of several women who accompanied Mrs. Fenxiang.
"My lady, your complexion is dull, your eyelids are red, you often feel nauseous and dizzy, and your monthly letters are often inaccurate. This is because you have too much sex and there is evil poison in your body," Feng Chuo told the woman .
Afterwards, Feng Chuo took the pulse of several women one after another, and each woman had more or less persistent illnesses.
These **** have a very rough life style on weekdays, and they don't have the conditions to see a doctor for treatment. Over the years, their illnesses can vary from major to minor.
After listening to Feng Chuo, all the girls had red eyes, begging Feng Chuo to see a doctor for them.
"Mrs. Fenxiang, you are unparalleled in the world with poisoning skills, but you don't understand the principle of elixir. You think you can protect your sisters from wind and rain, but invisibly make them suffer from men's poisoning even more. I taught you a lesson, but I also saved you in a disguised form," Yue Jinghua said, and took out a house deed.
"I had a great conversation with Mrs. Fenxiang today, and I think your communication skills are very good. It's a pity that you are only a prostitute, and it's not enough. There are two or three large shops in the Duke's Mansion. , I plan to pay a lot of money to reorganize the store and build a tavern. If Madam is interested, you can take your group of sisters to work in the tavern. If the sisters are willing, they can work in the tavern. We will split the profits of the tavern .”
When Mrs. Fenxiang heard this, her body trembled suddenly. She never imagined that Yue Jinghua would make such a request.
She hesitated, not daring to accept the lease.
"Elder Sister," looking at the poor sisters living at the bottom of the society beside her, Mrs. Fenxiang trembled, took the deed, and whispered: "Thank you, Young Master."
Yue Jinghua, Feng Chuo and the others looked at each other and showed satisfied smiles.
