As soon as the earthquake happened in Koi Town, there was a lot of business to do, from Shilang Zhao to the lower officials were very busy.
Yu Jin has won the love and trust of the people of Koi Town, and he would be better to promote many things if he came forward, so he is no more leisurely than the officials.
Only the prince became a complete idler.
Since that night, the crown prince casually promised a lot of money to go out, and these officials were miserable. In order to prevent the prince from going out and causing trouble, everyone specially selected a clever little official to accompany the prince to play in Wuji Town.
Naturally, Wuji Town has nothing to do with it, and the prince did not dare to wander anywhere else, for fear of an earthquake like in Koi Town, so bored, he instructed the servant: "Let the little official take you to the place where the people of Koi Town live. When Ben Gong was speaking there yesterday, I found a little lady in Tsing Yi, who was quite watery..."
The servant said, "His Royal Highness, that little lady was wearing Tsing Yi yesterday, but she may not be wearing Tsing Yi today. The servant is afraid that she will lead the wrong person..."
In this regard, the Crown Prince's mind is much more flexible, he glanced at the servant, and scolded: "Idiot, don't think about it, those are all disaster victims, their homes are in ruins, and there are still clothes to change? Yesterday, the little lady was wearing Tsing Yi. , he must still be wearing Tsing Yi today."
"Your Highness is wise!".
Afraid that the servant would lead the wrong person and ruin his interest, the prince thought for a while and said, "That little lady has a small mole on her cheek, remember."
"The servant remembers it. But—"
"But what?"
"His Royal Highness, what if that little lady doesn't follow? After all, she is outside—"
The prince smiled disapprovingly: "It's easier to do it if you are outside. This palace is the prince, and if you want to sleep with a mountain village girl, is there anyone who dares to talk? If the little lady doesn't want to, you can give more money and use it to hit her as much as she wants. until."
"The servant knows."
The servant called the clerk and mentioned the matter in a low voice.
The clerk was a little surprised and returned to normal.
The prince left the bustling capital of the capital and came to this small place. It was too common to want to have fun.
Well, compared to the glittering King Yan, this prince is what he imagined a noble person should look like.
Without any hesitation, the clerk led the servant to quietly go to the place where the people of Koi Town were staying.
Shui Lingling Tsing Yi little lady—
The servant's eyes rolled around, but all the women with girls' hair in buns swept around, and there were quite a few people wearing blue clothes, but Shui Ling really couldn't talk about it.
In the end, he didn't even let the twelve or thirteen-year-old girl go, but he couldn't find a wise one.
This time the waiter was worried.
Seeing that there was a lot of time wasted, the little official couldn't help but ask, "What is the father-in-law looking for?"
The servant said feebly, "The one in Tsing Yi, the one with water spirit, and the one with moles on the cheeks."
The little official pointed out: "Father-in-law, look at the woman doing laundry by the stream. Is that the person you are looking for?"
woman
The waiter's first reaction was negative, and his gaze subconsciously followed the direction of the little official's finger.
Many women by the stream are washing their clothes.
In the past, when women gathered together and washed clothes, they would talk and laugh, and it was very lively. But now that their homes have been destroyed, they can't laugh anymore. Most of them are silently washing their clothes, and those who speak are only whispers.
The servant's gaze fell on a woman in blue.
Looking at the woman in her early twenties, she had a slender figure and a fair face. Of course, she was not beautiful, but compared to those women with rough skin, she could indeed be called water spirit.
More importantly, the young woman had a black mole on her cheek.
This is the person the prince is looking for!
The waiter first breathed a sigh of relief, and then was dumbfounded.
This, this is a married woman...
Seeing that the waiter was stunned, the little official said very understandingly: "Father-in-law, don't worry, married women are easier to handle than little ladies."
"Um?"
"His Royal Highness will definitely not bring this woman back to Beijing in the future, right?"
The servant's face stern: "This is natural."
This kind of beautiful woman is far inferior to even a palace maid, but it is worse than nothing in the backcountry, and of course His Highness will not take it away.
Besides, His Highness is here to comfort the victims. If he really brings a woman back, he will definitely be reprimanded by the emperor.
The little official smiled and said, "That's not it. If His Highness is interested in the little lady who has not left the cabinet, and you want to leave her behind, I'm afraid it will take some effort. After all, the little lady will marry in the future, no more. Being a virgin is always a problem. It's different for married women. As long as the benefits are sufficient, the wind will leave no traces..."
The maid laughed and patted the little official on the shoulder: "You are good, we will tell His Royal Highness when we come back."
"Thank you for your kind words, father-in-law."
"Then let's do it." The waiter snorted.
This kind of thing, naturally, it is best for the locals to come forward.
The clerk was not in a hurry. He first asked others to find out who the Tsing Yi woman belonged to. Instead of talking to the woman, he went directly to the woman's man.
The man became anxious when he heard it: "How can this be done!"
The clerk stuffed a small purse into the man's hand.
The man looked out and his face changed immediately: "This, this is gold?"
There were some golden leaves in the purse.
The little official smiled: "I haven't seen it before. Let your mother-in-law accompany the noble for a few days, and you will enjoy inexhaustible benefits."
Looking at the golden leaves with dazzling eyes, the man hesitated.
Seeing the man's hesitation, the official said immediately: "Brother, brother, if you have a heartfelt word, you can buy a fairy with so many golden leaves, right? Not to mention that there will be a big reward for the nobles when you return. You took these silver coins. , When your mother-in-law comes back, you can continue to live, or change to a younger and more beautiful mother-in-law, as long as you make money without loss, what are you hesitating about?"
The man became more and more excited.
The clerk continued to persuade: "I also inquired, you have been married for many years, your mother-in-law has not given birth to you any children or half a daughter, and if it sounds ugly, it is a hen that does not lay eggs. Brother, with so much money, even if You are reluctant to change your mother-in-law, at least you can ask for another room..."
The man finally nodded.
The clerk laughed when he saw this.
It's true that money can make ghosts run the mill. Not to mention this peasant man with so many golden leaves, even he was moved.
Touching the golden leaf hidden in his secret pocket, the little official was in high spirits.
It is also true that the wild goose has plucked its hair.
In the evening, the prince got his wish and fell asleep to the "little lady", even more interesting because the woman was a married woman.
The battle with Concubine Yang was both a nightmare for the prince and left indelible traces.
The prince had to admit that he was now much more interested in married women than little girls.
Of course, these cannot be humane to the outside world.
The prince was addicted to the joy of fish and water for a while, and he couldn't care about anything else.
And all the ministers wanted the prince to cause less trouble, so they didn't pay too much attention.
It was not until this day that the imperial inspector and Pan Hai's apprentice Xiaolezi arrived, and the crown prince was shocked, so he hurriedly sent the person back.
