When Zheng Yi was looking for the people Jiang Zhen rescued from the water bandits to rally for Jiang Zhen, because he was worried about affecting the future business of Qingfenglou, he did not let the women from Qingfenglou go there, Liu Qianqian and Zhao Lingxi also I have been staying in the Qingfeng Building.
Jiang Zhen had an accident. They were very worried and anxious, and they kept sending people outside to listen to the news. As a result, the Qingfeng Building was surrounded before the news came out!
"What's going on here? Why do you surround us?" Liu Qianqian glanced at the terrified guests, and worriedly asked a few servants who had greeted the guests at the door before.
That little servant, who happened to have met Zhou Maohe a few days ago, was about to cry at this time: "Miss Liu, what should I do? The person who came to our Qingfenglou to make trouble a few days ago, and the person who spoke unkindly to you, turned out to be the imperial envoy. grown ups!"
"Imperial envoy?" Liu Qianqian was startled and gasped.
Is that old school an imperial envoy? This…
Liu Qianqian immediately turned to look at Zhao Lingxi. The two looked at each other and found that the other's eyes were also full of anxiety.
Wasn't it because he was wronged in Qingfenglou that he went to arrest Jiang Zhen before the imperial envoy? If this is the case, then they are too sorry for Jiang Zhen. And now, what are they going to do
"For such a person, just cry miserably with him." Liu Qianqian said, and as soon as she finished speaking, someone walked in from outside, it was Zhou Maohe.
Behind Zhou Maohe, there were many scholars, as well as Jiang Zhen and Zheng Yi.
Zheng Yi's identity was unusual, but Liu Qianqian and others were not familiar with him, so they were relieved at most when they saw him, but after seeing Jiang Zhen, they were relieved.
Somehow, they always felt that as long as Jiang Zhen was there, they would be safe.
When Zhou Maohe saw Liu Qianqian and Zhao Lingxi, his face became ugly.
He is not a person who is addicted to women's sex, and he doesn't care much about the appearance of these two people. Naturally, he is not fascinated by beauty. He just thinks that these two people are really shameless. They don't stay at home and come out to betray Hue.
However, the scholars who followed Zhou Mao and the others had already had a good impression of the decoration of Qingfeng Tower, Liu Qianqian and others.
Everything here is very elegant, and the daughters Shuang'er, who are dressed in men's clothes and simply put up their hair, look even more unique.
"Don't you want to introduce Zheng Shao to me? What do these women do?" Zhou Maohe sneered: "I didn't expect the dignified young master of the Zheng family to open a brothel!"
"My lord is wronged, this Qingfenglou is just a restaurant!" Zheng Yi said immediately.
"How can there be women in the restaurant? Who knows what they are doing! Or are they persecuted by you?" Zhou Maohe asked with a sneer.
"Sir." Jiang Zhen shouted: "If you think it's not right, you can let them all come out and go there and ask clearly! But please don't arbitrarily frame others!" He also pointed to the box next to him. .
"I will naturally ask, and I don't have to wait for them to go there to ask!" Zhou Maohe said immediately. To the box? Did Jiang Zhen want to give him money in private
"Adults can try asking here, I don't care what happened!" Jiang Zhen sneered.
Jiang Zhen didn't want Zhou Maohe to ask anything in public.
Liu Qianqian and Zhao Lingxi were rescued by him from the bandits, and the servants and guests of Qingfeng Building were not aware of this matter. Asking in public was equivalent to opening the scars of Liu Qianqian and others naked.
For those women who moved to Hexi Village, the people at the pier already knew their situation, and it was fine, but Liu Qianqian and others were different. If the people here knew that they had encountered such a thing, It is inevitable that they will look down on them, and those guests who have been good to them may also keep their distance from them.
When Jiang Zhen said this, Zhou Maohe remembered the scene when Mrs. Jiang hugged her leg and cried before, and her heart skipped a beat.
He snorted coldly and said, "Take them out and go to the house over there!"
Without the need for Zhou Mao and the people who brought them to do something, Liu Qianqian and the others showed a shivering look of fear, then opened the table from the inside and queued up from behind the table.
The box that Jiang Zhen pointed out was not large, so Zhou Maohe asked the yamen to wait at the door, and walked in with the scholars who came to listen to what Liu Qianqian and others had to say.
As a result, before he could ask, Liu Qianqian knelt down on the ground: "Sir, please forgive me... I didn't know your identity before, I have offended you, it's really an unforgivable sin..."
"Don't say these things, why are you waiting here, are you being coerced?" Zhou Maohe asked with a cold face.
"My lord, I was not coerced by anyone. It was Master Jiang who rescued me from the water bandits." Liu Qianqian said, and Li Hua burst into tears: "My lord, my husband was killed by those water bandits, and I again I was kidnapped by the water bandits and lost my reputation, so I shouldn't have lived in the world..." She said so, and finally slammed her head towards the wall next to her.
"Sir, I waited until I was homeless and didn't want to marry again, so I asked Mr. Jiang to find us an errand. I never thought that it would involve Mr. Jiang, and I don't want to live anymore." Zhao Lingxi, like Liu Qianqian, also chose an errand. A wall, slammed into it.
Both of them were fine, but they were stopped by a few scholars, but they cried even more: "Sir, you have a brothel, this is not giving us a way to live!"
"Lord Zhou, that's what happened. These people are all hard-working. I hired them to work in Qingfenglou and gave them two taels of silver every month... If the Lord is dissatisfied, it's okay to drive them out." Zheng Yi said.
When Zhou Mao and the scholars around him saw this scene, they all looked up with pity on Xiangxiyu, and when they heard Zheng Yi's words, some people said, "How can this work? It's absolutely impossible! Isn't this going to kill them?"
Zhou Maohe has always felt that when a woman encounters a water bandit, she should throw herself into the river as soon as possible to avoid losing her fame, but now that the matter has come, he can't force a group of women to die...
He doesn't care much about anything else, but about fame.
There was a loud cry in the room, and Zhou Maohe's face became more and more ugly, and finally left the place with a flick of his sleeves.
These women are no problem, but this Qingfenglou is not necessarily no problem! Zhou Maohe took the people and searched Qingfenglou, and the result...
"Sir, these are the signature dishes in our store, fried chicken, chicken cakes... These are the most common things to make, and they have absolutely nothing to do with the palace! If you don't believe me, I'll have someone make them on the spot. Look, sir." In the kitchen, Zheng Yi vowed, but several chefs shivered.
"Sir, this is where we take a bath here. It's really just a bath. If you don't believe me, you can try it yourself." Zhou Mao didn't dare to look up like he wanted to eat people.
In the courtyard: "Sir, this is the place to play small games like throwing pots..."
By the pond; "Sir, this is a place for people to fish. I will let people put some fish every day, but they will not be fed..."
In the study: "Sir, this is the place where people read and write, read and draw..."
…
"Sir, this is the place to eat, and some people will talk about business here." Finally, Zheng Yi brought Zhou Maohe to the restaurant.
Here, there were some guests eating, and the food on their table was the fried chicken and chicken cake that Zheng Yi pointed out to them in the kitchen, and a few other things. Although it looks ingenious, judging from what they saw in the kitchen before... In fact, these are all made with extremely common ingredients.
Zhou Maohe strolled down from the beginning to the end, and he didn't see anything in the palace, so he felt that it was not easy to make so many tricks in such a small garden, and the scholars around him...
"These foods look good and smell good."
"The wooden balls on the table were hit with a pole, and I don't know how to play."
"The gameplay of the cards here is not the same as the ones passed down from the capital..."
…
These scholars became curious about Qingfenglou, and whispered about it, Zhou Maohe's face turned ashen when he heard it.
these people... these people...
Zhou Maohe was dissatisfied, but he had to admit that there was really nothing illegal in this Qingfeng Building.
It's just... For such a little thing, he actually charged so much money, this Zheng Yi is really a big profiteer!
"Sir, it's getting late? Do you want to eat at Qingfenglou?" Zheng Yi asked with a smile.
Zhou Maohe is still willing to stay here? Immediately he went out, but those scholars who came with him were reluctant to part at this moment.
"Everyone should stay in Hecheng County for a while, right? If you have time, you can come here to play." Zheng Yi smiled: "I will build a Qingfeng Building in Fucheng in the future, and you are welcome to appreciate it." Anyway, Zhou Maohe has already asked him for trouble, and there is no need to postpone the construction of Qingfeng Tower on the other side of the city.
"It must be sure..." Zheng Yi is a person who is easy to have a good impression of. Those scholars who listened to him said this and nodded in agreement.
Zhou Maohe: "… "
"And what happened to those suffering... I hope you can keep it a secret for them." Zheng Yi said again.
"We must keep it a secret!" Those scholars nodded when they thought of Liu Qianqian and others who were crying pitifully. Although they also felt that women should keep their chastity, they could not help but sympathize when they saw a group of weak women crying.
Zhou Maohe: "Humph!"
Zhou Maohe and others finally left and went to the accommodation arranged for them by the Hecheng County magistrate. Zheng Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
"Jiang Zhen, haven't you eaten yet? Let's go to dinner?" Zheng Yi looked at Jiang Zhen who was standing next to him. Jiang Zhen was arrested early this morning, and he probably hadn't eaten yet.
"No, I'm going back, let the kitchen get me some food, and I'll take it to eat on the way back." Jiang Zhen said.
After all this tossing, it was already dark, and Jiang Zhen was eager to go home.
Zheng Yi knew Jiang Zhen's thoughts, nodded and agreed, and then let Jiang Zhen hold the food.
There is a small river outside Qingfenglou, and there is a boat arranged by Qingfenglou in the river to send guests home. Jiang Zhen took the lunch box and got on the boat, and said directly: "Go to Hexi Village."
At the same time, Zheng Yi instructed his subordinates: "Go check it out, check what's going on here!"
Why was Zhou Maohe quietly appearing in Hecheng County? There must be something going on here!
After Zheng Yi ordered the matter, he returned to Zheng's house, and at this time, Jiang Zhen was on the boat and quickly resolved the meals in the food box.
When he had almost eaten, He Xicun also arrived.
It was getting dark now. In the past, Hexi Village was absolutely pitch-dark, but today, almost every house is lit with lights, and there are several fires lit on the pier.
Seeing the twinkling lights and the dazzling fire, Jiang Zhen felt relieved, and a certain thought became stronger and stronger.
He must take good care of his home.
"Mr. Jiang, here we are." The boater gasped. He had been rowing with all his might.
"Well." Jiang Zhen gave a string of copper plates as a reward, nodded and got off the boat, and as soon as he got off the boat, he saw someone waiting on the shore, and none of the Zhao family fell.
Before the boat stopped, Zhao Jinge ran over: "Jiang Zhen, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, I'm fine already." Jiang Zhen said.
"It's fine..." Zhao Jinge breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly reaching out and hugging Jiang Zhen.
It's rare for Zhao Jinge to be so bold... Jiang Zhen hugged him back, only to feel that everything around him was quiet.
"Wow..." At this moment, Zhao Mingzhu's harsh cry cut through the night sky.
Letting go of Brother Zhao Jin, Jiang Zhen hurriedly hugged his daughter.
Zhao Mingzhu was hugged by Jiang Zhen, and finally stopped crying. After Jiang Zhen coaxed her for a while, she even laughed "giggling".
Seeing this, Zhao Liu immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Mingzhu cried for a long time during the day today. When we came back, we cried and hiccupped, but now I finally laughed."
"Well." Jiang Zhen nodded, then kissed his daughter on the head.
His pearl, he must let her live a happy life in the future.
Jiang Zhen ate something on the way, but the Zhao family left him a meal, so he ate some more.
Zhao Mingzhu was probably a little surprised. Jiang Zhen was very sticky on this day. She slept very unsteadily at night. She cried without warning in the middle of the night. When she cried, Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jinge sat together. up.
They all wanted to coax Zhao Mingzhu so that Zhao Mingzhu didn't wake up the other person to sleep, but...the two of them didn't actually sleep.
"Brother Jin, can't sleep?" Jiang Zhen asked.
"Yeah." Brother Zhao Jin replied, what happened before really scared him.
He has always been very dependent on Jiang Zhen. Jiang Zhen was taken away in front of him, which made him feel like the sky was about to collapse.
He suddenly realized that he was useless.
If he was a little more powerful, wouldn't Jiang Zhen not have to encounter such a thing
Jiang Zhen was married to his house, but he had absolutely no way to protect Jiang Zhen... Brother Zhao Jin always felt that he was too useless.
He needs to work harder!
"I can't sleep either." Jiang Zhen took Zhao Mingzhu in his arms, and then said to Brother Zhao Jin; "Brother Jin, let's go to Fucheng in a few days."
"Okay." Brother Zhao Jin nodded and held Jiang Zhen's hand.
Not only was Zhao Mingzhu afraid, but he was also uneasy.
That night, Jiang Zhen didn't do anything with Zhao Jinge, but gave him an arm to pillow, and put Zhao Mingzhu on him, and let her sleep on him.
Then... In the second half of the night, Jiang Zhen woke up again because Zhao Mingzhu had urinated on him.
Raising children is no easy task! Jiang Zhen sighed, got up and wiped his body and changed his clothes, then estimated the time, he simply didn't sleep, but lit the lamp and started to write his next plan, in a foreign language.
At that time, he mainly dealt with the surrounding countries, and he basically understood some of the surrounding languages. Originally, when he arrived in ancient times, he felt that it was useless, and he never learned it again. Now... it is better to pick them all up.
