Painted boats by the lake, flower streets and willow alleys, Yingying and Yanyan, leaning on the red and nestling in the green.
This is the most famous alley in Shangjing, Silver Hook Alley. It is also the largest gold selling cave in Shangjing, the gentle hometown of countless nobles.
Zui Jinlou is quite famous in this Yinhook Lane, not only because the girls in the building are used to being famous, but also because the building is ingenious and meticulously raises a group of very charming young ladies, attracting countless dignitaries from Shanghai to come here in private early adopters.
Although the night is dark now, the lobby of the Zuijin building is still very lively, with the interlacing of wine and the singing of warblers and swallows.
Zhenbei Hou Qinzheng was toasting with three or two dudes, his jade-like face was flushed with drunkenness, his long hair was half loose and slightly disheveled, and his luxurious brocade robe was loose. There is a bit of unrestrained freedom.
"Master Hou has a good drinker... come, I'll toast you again!" Several powerful children tugged at Qin Zheng's sleeves and said drunkenly.
Qin Zheng waved and raised his glass to drink, when suddenly he stuck out a hand.
This hand is three parts slender and straight like green bamboo, seven parts jade clear and flawless, natural and impeccably beautiful.
"Master Hou is drunk, why not let me drink this glass of wine."
The sound of brittle jade hitting a stone carried a strong sense of irony, and the people around who were still noisy subconsciously fell silent.
Chu Yuhao turned her wrist slightly, raised her delicate chin slightly, and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.
The candlelights in Zuijinlou are covered with hazy gauze lampshades, making the firelight reflect a faint pink color, which is ambiguous and charming. But even if there are all kinds of amorous feelings, what can it compare to the stunning face of the person in front of him. The slightly drooping eyelashes contained a ray of candlelight, which just rightly half-covered a pair of hazy and bright eyes, and the lips were stained with sake, making them look more rosy.
Chu Yu didn't seem to notice the astonishment in the eyes of others, her white fingertips loosened slightly, and there was a snap, and the wine cup shattered beside her feet.
It was also this sound that brought everyone back to their senses, and they couldn't help but gasp.
In Shangjing, almost everyone did not know Chu Yu.
The ancestors of Duke Jing's Chu family were well-off. Although the old Duke and his wife left early, leaving only two sons behind, the population is really not prosperous. But these two sons are a formidable figure. A pair of sons who are not as young as the weak crowns are known as "Shangjing Shuangbi".
At that time, it was said that Chu Ming, the eldest son of Chu, had a face like jasper, a posture like a jade tree, a clear backbone, a good speech and prose, and a lot of writing, which was known to everyone in the world. Chu Yu, the second son of the Chu family, leaped out in a charming, rosy color, deeper than the city mansion, scheming, exquisite in appearance, long-sleeved and good at dancing, no one in the world would dare to provoke him.
Only those who have actually met Chu Yu understand why he is called Second Master Chu, the Bone Scraper.
Color is a bone scraper...
Chu Yu sneered, "The night is getting dark, Lord Hou will return."
As soon as these words came out, the dandies who were still indulging in Chu Yu's face immediately came to their senses. The beauty in front of them is not someone they can imagine. No one knows that the second son of the Chu family married Qin Zheng, the young master of Zhenbeihou's mansion, as his wife five years ago when he was not as weak as the crown. Now he has a daughter. Four years old.
Maybe it's because masculinity is prevalent at present, and there was a precedent for the emperor and empress to be men in the previous dynasty, so although it sounds amazing to marry a man as the main mother in a high school, it's just a chatterbox after dinner, not what to do. Shocking.
What's more, Chu Yu has long been famous for her stunning beauty and moving Kyushu, and others are also envious of Zhenbei Hou's good fortune.
Envy belongs to envy, and more people have a teasing attitude of watching a good show.
For example, right now, there is such a good-looking wife in the family, and Zhenbeihou, who wants to drink flowers and wine, goes up to the court to call the wind and rain, and the exquisite Chu Erye in the court, what kind of sparks will be torn out...
Everyone looked forward to it.
As we all know, since the two got married, the relationship between the two can be said to be like fire and water, and there is quite a posture of immortality.
The annual drama is about to be staged, and I am a little excited when I think about it.
Qin Zheng was already half drunk, but when he saw Chu Yu, he showed disgust without hesitation, and wobbled to his feet. The already messy robe on his body slid down most of his shoulders, making him look even more wavy. He raised the corners of his lips and breathed alcohol and said: "It's really strange... Isn't this the big red man in front of you today, Mr. Chu Er... Why? , I'm not busy with official business today, but I have time to come to this kind of place to play? Hahaha... Interesting and interesting, how about I be the host, which girl does the second master like? Oh, no... you don't have to be polite if the second master likes a strong man. According to the appearance of the second master, there are probably many who are willing to serve you."
These words were so insulting that the expressions of the surrounding gang of dudes immediately changed. Chu Yu is now the imperial envoy appointed by His Majesty to be the first-class head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and even the few elders at court would not dare to offend easily. What's more, his elder brother is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and he may be the prospect of being appointed as a prime minister in the future. Shangjing is a prestigious family, and no one dares to provoke Yasukuni Chu's family.
There is only one person who dares to provoke Chu Yu so recklessly, Qin Zheng, Lord Zhenbei.
After hearing such ugly words, Chu Yu remained calm on the face, but his heart seemed to be burning with burning pain. He didn't hate Qin Zheng for humiliating him with such words, but he hated his daughter for being so sick at home. Son, Qin Zheng, the father, didn't even ask a question.
Some people around couldn't stand it anymore, and whispered to persuade: "Master Hou, it's getting late today, you can go back with Second Master Chu..."
Others responded immediately: "Yes, yes, let's go back."
"Second Master Chu came to find Hou Ye in person in such a busy schedule, so don't be angry with Hou Ye, and go back home quickly."
Although this group of dudes don't do any serious business on weekdays, it doesn't mean they are willing to offend Chu Yu. If Chu Yu puts the blame on them, they won't be able to bear it. Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. Sure enough... Marrying a wife and a virtuous woman is better than anything else. A beauty like Chu Yu who is so powerful, she feels that she is not blessed to bear it.
The dandies lighted the candle for Lord Zhenbei in their hearts one after another.
…
Seeing this, Qin Zheng was furious, and a sense of humiliation rushed to his forehead. He immediately grabbed the young lady beside him, and said to Chu Yu, "How can I live up to a beauty in my arms? Forgive me for not being able to go back with Second Master Chu." !"
That young lady was originally one of the most beauties in Zui Jinlou, but compared with Chu Yu, she immediately became an unremarkable vulgar thing. Being teased by Qin Zheng, the young man lied in Qin Zheng's arms very understandingly, and called softly, "Master Hou..."
Chu Yu smiled, picked a chair covered with flowers and sat down, raised his chin slightly, and said calmly, "What is the meaning of this, Lord Hou?"
Qin Zheng has long been fed up with Chu Yu's hypocrisy. Since the two got married, they have always been characterized by disgusting each other. The basic line is centered on humiliating each other. The road, adhere to the fundamental thought of death.
However, Chu Yu is ruthless and quick-witted, and he does everything without leaking water. Right now, he is a very popular figure in the court. Although Qin Zheng is his husband in name, he has never gained the upper hand in front of him. How to make people not annoyed
"What do you mean?" Qin Zheng sneered, took the silver wine cup from the attendant's hand and leaned back, poured all the wine in the glass into his mouth, then threw the wine glass in his hand, and raised his hand to pinch the little beauty in his arms. With a pretty chin and thin lips covered, he poured the wine from his mouth to the person in his arms in front of Chu Yu.
There was a dead silence all around.
Chu Yu suddenly laughed out loud, tapped lightly on the armrest of the wicker chair with her slender fingertips, and said in a light tone: "It turns out that Lord Hou has found a beautiful woman, no wonder they are reluctant to go home, so why don't Lord Hou just accept her directly?" How about it?"
This time Qin Zheng was stunned, taking a concubine? Why did Chu Yu do such a self-defeating thing.
Chu Yu had already stood at the back for a long while, and the head of the Zuijin building, who was crying bitterly, gave a look: "This person in the arms of Lord Hou signed a deed of death?"
The old bustard was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said: "Second master... this..."
Before the old bustard finished speaking, Chu Yu said, "I wonder if one thousand taels of silver is enough?"
The sound of gasping all around was louder, even for the most famous oiran in Silver Hook Lane, this was not the case.
The hesitation in the old bustard's eyes was swept away, and he smiled apologetically, "Second Master is Second Master after all, enough, enough! The people trained by us in Zuijinlou are absolutely lovable, and they will definitely serve Master Hou and Second Master well from now on... Mo Yu, hurry up and offer tea to Second Lord!"
Qin Zheng had let go of Mo Yu's hand at some point, and stared at Chu Yu with a pair of eyes, his expression almost fierce.
Chu Yu met Qin Zheng's knife-like eyes, he raised his chin proudly, his expression was contemptuous, but his hands under his wide sleeves turned white.
Unexpectedly, the young man named Mo Yu is a smart person, thinking that he has climbed a high branch and will ascend to heaven from then on. The little tail didn't know how to raise it, and immediately took a cup of tea from the side and walked towards Chu Yu.
The concubine's room offered tea to the main room, which was a door ceremony, and if the main room received the tea, it was equivalent to allowing him to enter the door.
What is Mo Yu's background? He is best at observing words and expressions. He can see clearly that Zhenbei Hou and Chu Erye are like enemies. As long as he enters the door, he will not be favored. Naturally, the good days are still here behind.
Now that Second Master Chu has prevented Zhenbeihou from stepping down in front of so many people, Zhenbeihou must be holding grudges in his heart, and all he needs to do is to help Zhenbeihou lose face from Second Master Chu, so all this The Northern Marquis of Lai Zhen will only favor him more.
The abacus in Mo Yu's heart was crackling, and when he walked in front of Chu Yu, he knelt down to offer tea in an orderly manner, but his body hadn't gotten any lower, and the teacup in his hand slipped from his fingers with a clang, scalding hot. The tea wet Chu Yu's extremely expensive robe, and some of the water splashed on the back of his hands, instantly revealing light red marks on his jade-white skin.
…
"Ah!" Mo Yu exclaimed, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she said without sincerity, "It's all because of my carelessness, Second Master, are you... alright?"
Chu Yu didn't even move from the beginning to the end, he raised his head slightly, and the mockery in Mo Yu's eyes clearly fell into his eyes, but he couldn't help but want to lock his eyes on Mo Yu's bright red lips...
Seeing that Chu Yu didn't speak, Mo Yu turned around and walked in front of Qin Zheng. He said pitifully, "Master Hou, Mo Yu really didn't do it on purpose. Look at the eyes of Second Master... as if he was about to eat someone raw. It's really terrifying." tight."
Of course, these little tricks of Mo Yu couldn't hide it from Qin Zheng.
Qin Zheng understood that Mo Yu was asking for pets, and he suddenly felt that Mo Yu's smell was a bit too sweet and greasy. He didn't know what kind of spice it was tainted with, but it actually made him feel sick.
Chu Yu shook off the tea on the back of his hand nonchalantly, and said, "I thought she was a caring and caring beauty, but she turned out to be a clumsy idiot. What's the use of it?"
When Mo Yu heard this, he said angrily, "You..."
Chu Yu glanced at him coldly, and Mo Yu couldn't speak for a moment, only felt a layer of cold sweat on his back suddenly, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
I just heard Chu Yu say: "Since ancient times, there have been no rules and no rules. Originally, I was the only one in the family of Lord Hou. Now that there are more people, this rule should naturally be established. Anyway, I am also the matchmaker of Lord Hou who is marrying back." Yes, such small things as the back house are in line with what I should say. Moyu doesn't abide by his duty, has no rules, and commits the following crimes... "
His eyes lightly fell on Mo Yu's red lips, he opened his mouth slightly, and his voice was as cold as ice: "Stand dead."
Everyone was in an uproar.
Mo Yu's face was pale, and subconsciously hid in Qin Zheng's arms, trembling her beautiful lips, said: "You, how dare you..."
Chu Yu laughed out loud, his eyes full of amusement: "Oh? Who has the guts to talk to me like this? Mr. Li from the Ministry of Punishment who has returned home? Or Zhang Shilang from the Ministry of Rites who has already been imprisoned?"
Hearing these words, Mo Yu became more and more frightened, and tightened Qin Zheng's sleeves, trying to find some sense of security.
The sneer at the corners of Chu Yu's lips faded away, and he said lightly, "The family law serves me."
The people behind him were all private soldiers of the Chu family, all of them were from the army, and they only obeyed the orders of the master of the Chu family. With such an order, they immediately went over and pulled Mo Yu out of Lord Qin's arms without hesitation. , apart from anything else, press and hold to start on the board.
The Marquis of Zhenbei is from a family of military generals, and Qin Zheng has been famous for his good kung fu since he was young. It's just that he has been depraved for so many years, and his body has been hollowed out by wine and sex. A piece that held him aside.
Mo Yu's body couldn't bear two blows, and immediately cried and shouted: "Master Hou! Master Hou!"
Qin Zheng opened his eyes angrily, the anger in his eyes seemed to burn his soul, and he stared at Chu Yu, "You are so angry at me! Why bother to vent your anger on irrelevant people!"
Chu Yu twisted the lid of the tea, raised his head lightly and said, "Master Hou is really drunk. There are no irrelevant people here. Moyu offered tea to me and entered the Qin family. I should be the one to teach."
Qin Zheng's knuckles creaked, and Qubu Neijia, who stopped him, was extremely skillful. No matter how much he tried, he couldn't get rid of it, so he could only scold Chu Yu and said, "You are a villain with a vicious heart! You are so jealous!" !"
Chu Yu closed the tea cover with a snap, and said calmly: "Master Hou was joking, Yu is just in his position, seeking his own government, taking on his duties, and fulfilling his duties, no matter whether it is in the court or in the house. , all with a clear conscience."
Qin Zheng sneered again and again: "What a clear conscience! I know what dirty things you have done!"
"Second Master! Second Master!! I know I'm wrong! Second Master, spare your life!" Mo Yu has seen the situation clearly, so what about Hou Ye, the person who can kill him with his mouth is Chu Yu.
Chu Yu tilted his head and saw that blood was already oozing from Mo Yu's waist and back. It seemed that Qu Bu was merciless.
Qin Zheng's heart was on fire: "Chu Yu!!!"
Chu Yu didn't even look at him: "Master Hou, don't make too much noise, Yu can hear you."
Mo Yu's cries became weaker and weaker, and the lower body was almost drenched in blood, which was terrifying.
Qin Zheng looked at Chu Yu suddenly, the distance between them was not far. Chu Yu's extremely glamorous face, viewed from the side, is even more stern and beautiful, but in Qin Zheng's eyes, it is more terrifying than any ghosts and monsters.
This man has been a nightmare since the day he married him.
Chu Yu was like a fire, burning everything about him. His youth and frivolity, his lingering love, and his lofty aspirations were all burnt under this gorgeous face and cold eyes.
"I'll go back with you..." Qin Zheng knelt down on the ground, looking at the scattered blood on the ground.
Chu Yu raised his hand, and Qubu stopped his stick. He got up slowly, walked in front of Qin Zheng, and said in a calm and gentle tone, "Master Hou should have done this long ago."
Qin Zheng sneered, and stretched out his hand to brush away the hair that fell down his cheeks. The sarcasm and hatred in his eyes hit Chu Yu's without any concealment.
Chu Yu reached out to help Qin Zheng up, but before he touched the corner of his clothes, he pulled his hand away.
He didn't feel embarrassed, so he withdrew his hand lightly, got up and said: "Find a doctor and show it to Mr. Mo Yu."
Qubu left at the sound.
Mo Yu lay dying on the ground, and when Chu Yu's cloud satin brocade boots appeared in front of his eyes, his whole body shivered subconsciously.
"You take the deed of sale, if you still want to come to Zhenbeihou's mansion..." Chu Yu stuffed the deed of sale into Mo Yu's hand, and Mo Yu interrupted him sobbing before he could finish speaking.
"The second master is wrong... Nu, I don't dare anymore... I will never step into Zhenbei Hou's mansion..."
Chu Yu bent her thin lips and said nothing.
The moon outside was already in the middle, Chu Yu suppressed a sigh and said in a low voice, "Master Hou, go home."
