"Haha, Seventh Sister, you are my real elder sister, and you should do everything for you. By the way, when you leave in the future, bring some things back home. With these ten maids, you can earn 1000 silver a month. I'm afraid it's not enough, I'll double it for you, 2000 taels of silver is not a problem, don't have any money to reward them, it would be too embarrassing, and there are some prepared meals and food Clothes, if you are in a bad mood, don’t eat with the Yang family, just start the stove yourself. But there is one thing, don’t tell the other sisters, otherwise they will say that the sixth brother treats one more than another.”
When he said the last sentence, Yang Chendong had a bitter face, as if he had been wronged so much.
Yang Duo, who was originally moved, was about to shed tears again, but when she heard that she couldn't tell the other sisters, she immediately pursed her lips and smiled, and she really smiled back at Bai Meisheng, Liugong Fendai was colorless.
After laughing, Yang Duo still shook his head, "You will pay for these maids, what do I need so much money, Seventh Sister, 1000 taels a month is too much to spend. .”
Yang Duo still wanted to refuse, but unexpectedly, Qiaoyin said, "Miss Qi, this is the young master's wish, so you can accept it."
Qiaoyin's identity is nothing more than a maid next to Yang Chendong, and it is said that she is not qualified to speak out on such an occasion.But everyone can see that the Sixth Young Master's attitude towards her is very unusual, if not, she will be a concubine in the future, which is tantamount to marrying into the Yang family and becoming half of the Yang family. It depends on her.
"Yes, yes, Seventh Sister can just accept what Sixth Brother gave you, and save up the excess, and keep it as a new dowry in the future." Yang Chendong laughed.It's just that as soon as these words were said, Yang Duo's face became even redder, and he buried his head deeply.
After solving Yang Duo's matter, Yang Chendong looked at Hu Yan who was on the side, "Miss Hu, thank you for being able to accompany my seventh sister to relax this time. To express my gratitude, I have prepared some things, and I will trouble you when I leave. Take it all together."
Yang Chendong didn't say what it was, and Hu Yan was smart enough not to ask too much, as if everything was in tacit understanding.
After half an hour.The three carriages slowly left the gate of Yangjiazhuang.There were two more carriages than when we came here. Not only that, besides one carriage, there were also five maid teams on the left and right. These were all going back to Wang's house with Yang Duo.
One can imagine that when these people arrive at Wang's house together, Wang Gou and that unreasonable Niang Yan will be shocked.
Not to mention how Yang Duo returned to the Wang family?It is only said that after Hu Yan entered the city, she separated from Yang Duo. After the carriage she was riding in, there was another carriage following, and the driver was Yang Liu.
The items in this cart were a gift from Yang Chendong to Hu Yan, saying it was to thank her for taking Seventh Sister out to relax, but the actual reason was probably only the two of them knew clearly.
Chapter 85 Domineering Xisheng
Hu Yan, who was sitting in the car, had a happy expression on her face, and she even thought a little shyly in her heart, could this be Dong Shuai's engagement gift for her.But I just don't know what's in it, is there any toilet paper that my father asked for?
Excited and worried along the way, when they arrived at the gate of the Hu Mansion, Colonel Gao Sheng, who was following him, immediately asked the gatekeeper to find someone to unload the things. After hearing the news, Hu Changning came back with a look of surprise.
"Yan'er, what are these things? Could it be toilet paper?" Hu Changning asked in a daze.
"Father just look at it for himself. My daughter is tired and needs to go back to rest." She was holding a small package, which contained her white cheongsam and the sketch portrait. In her opinion, these were the most important things. .
Just after answering this sentence, Hu Yan turned around and left without caring what Yang Chendong gave, leaving Hu Changning with a puzzled look on his face.I had to ask someone to carry the things into the hospital first, and then go to see them one by one.
Needless to say, there must be toilet paper among the gifts, and there are quite a few of them.In the morning, the housekeeper of the Hu Mansion and the housekeepers of other ministers went to Yangjiazhuang to ask for toilet paper to no avail.Then Hu Yan appeared, presumably it has something to do with it, so this thing is naturally indispensable, not only that, but also some other good things, such as toothpaste, toothbrush, soap and cosmetics Wait, there are other foods such as freshly dug potatoes and boxes of canned fish.
There are various flavors in canned fish. Given the geographical location of Chixian City, fishing is no big deal at all. As long as it is sealed properly and has a unique taste, other things will naturally be fine.
The things were opened one by one, and Hu Changning sighed as he watched, this Yang Xima is really a big hand.Of course, what made him most happy was that all of these were obtained by Hu Yan. Does that mean that this kid has also taken a fancy to his daughter?
Regardless of whether they are well-matched or talented, it seems that no matter how you look at it, the marriage of the two families is more appropriate.
Baihuatang.
The release of the two songs yesterday brought the place's reputation to a higher level. Tonight, there are more people coming, and the bustard sister Mu Lili put a smile on her face all night long. I just hate that there are too few tables in Baihuatang, and the place is not big enough, otherwise, I'm afraid I can earn more money.
As always, when the two pieces came out, the audience applauded again and again, and at the same time, the voices of urging stayed one after another, as if they were going to topple the roof of Baihuatang.
It's just that Xue Niangzi didn't pay attention to this, and still walked down the stage by herself.There are only two new songs in total, if they are chanted over and over again, sooner or later they will get tired of listening to them, this is not what she thought.
Xue Niangzi walked down the stage, and there were many people who disagreed among the crowd, shouting and expressing their dissatisfaction.However, among the crowd, a man wearing a brocade robe and with a face like a monkey with a sharp mouth and cheeks did not yell, but with all his strength, he suddenly raised his hands and overturned the table in front of him to the ground, followed by He shouted loudly, "Didn't this general let you go? Just go and try!"
The table was lifted, and such a big movement naturally attracted countless people to watch, and the hall became quiet for a while.Even Lady Xue, who was about to leave, stopped involuntarily at this moment, and turned around to look.
It was this look that made me terrified.Not because of anything else, but she still knows that person, and it is Qianhu Xisheng from Jin Yiwei.
Speaking of Xi Sheng, not many people know about it, but when it comes to his elder brother, few people don’t know about it. It was the eunuch Xining, who was the last one in history to betray Daming, and was executed by Ling Chi, who received more than 3000 knives. guy.
It's just that the Tumu Fortress change hasn't happened yet, naturally Xining is still in power, and even got the favor, and has a good relationship with Wang Zhen, the chief steward of the Rites Supervisor.
Xisheng has such a strong elder brother, so naturally he has no scruples in doing things, and he has the identity of a Jinyiwei Qianhu, which is even more domineering. Just last year, he even bullied the British prince Auxiliary, it made this veteran of several dynasties, the outstanding general who commanded the army dare not speak, and admitted that he was dumb, and was deprived of a lot of land.
He is here today, and even turned the table over, how can others not notice that it is him.Especially Zhang De, the second son of Zhang Fu in the crowd, although the hatred in his eyes was full of anger, but he really didn't have the guts to let him meddle in this business.
The British Duke's son didn't dare to take care of it. Others watched this scene and could only bear it, not daring to say a word.
Seemingly satisfied with the way everyone looked at him, Xi Sheng laughed loudly, then pointed at Lady Xue and said, "I haven't heard enough, general, come and sing."
Speaking of being a Yi Ji, she has encountered such things a lot, but Xue Niangzi still has a tight heart, she can feel that this Xi Sheng is not just here to listen to the music, there will probably be other things. Purpose.
If you are not as powerful as others, you must follow it.
Seeing Xisheng being so domineering and arrogant, Lady Xue knew that she couldn't escape today, so she bowed with a forced smile, and turned to the stage again.
The bustard sister, Mu Lili, immediately arranged for someone to set up a new table and brought it in front of Xisheng. Then, with her legs crossed and her head raised, she continued to listen to Lady Xue singing in an invincible manner.
"My lord, the skin of this snow lady is really good. If you can hug her for a whole night, hehe, that's really not a life in vain." The subordinates who followed him flattered and watched the scene The Snow Maiden on the stage was drooling.
"What's so difficult about this, my lord has to go on duty at night today, so that's all. I'll take a bath tomorrow, so I'll just come here to have a good night at that time. By the way, check the people behind the Baihuatang, just say my lord I'm interested in this place and I want to buy it." Xi Sheng said with a face of indifference, and even the dignified British male bullied him if he said he would bully him, a little artist girl, where else can he jump?
"Yes, I'll do it now, little one." The servant agreed, then turned around and left.And the turtle man who was serving tea to the guests at the table next to him had his ears erect. Hearing these words, he immediately showed fear, but quickly pretended to be calm again. After thinking for a while, he went straight to the backstage and go.
The industries Mr. Gui can engage in are limited, and the amount of benefits he can get is directly proportional to what kind of place he is in.
Now Baihuatang's business is very good, and they usually receive a lot of rewards.But once the master is changed, what happened to Mrs. Xue, not to mention how much money she will get, and whether she can continue to operate, she doesn't know.Even for himself, he still had to tell the bustard sister Mu Lili.
Backstage, Mu Lili was looking at the stage with a worried face. She was worried that something would happen in a while, what kind of person Xisheng was, and what kind of virtues she had. She is naturally very clear.
"Sister Mu." Mr. Gui came to Mu Lili's side, and whispered what he had just heard into Mu Lili's ear with a worried expression on his face.Afterwards, Mu Lili's expression became shocked, and her pretty face, which was originally pretty, turned pale at this moment. "How can this be good?"
Under the threat of Xisheng, Xue Niangzi had to sing the two songs again, but fortunately, no one was booing anymore.Xisheng also walked out of Baihuatang accompanied by several brothers under his command. Everything seemed to be clear after the rain. Only Mu Lili who got the news knew that it wasn't that the person was going to stop, but that he had already put the place here. Seeing it as his own property, he didn't cause trouble.
Xue Niangzi returned to the backstage, exhaled a long breath of fragrance, and wiped her forehead lightly.When he saw Mu Lili approaching in the distance, he forced a smile and said, "Sister, I'm fine."
"Hey, this time it's not that nothing happened, but something serious." Mu Lili sighed, and then told Shao Yuxue what she had just heard from the turtle.
"What?" Sure enough, Lady Xue's expression was not much better when she heard the news. It was no different from what Mu Lili showed just now. "Sister, do you think our boss can sell this Baihuatang to Xisheng?"
"If it's someone else's sister, I don't know, but who is Xisheng? Last year, even the British Duke dared to occupy the good land, and nothing happened. Although I heard that the emperor punished them later, it's different now. Have you regained your prestige?" She didn't say whether she could or could not, but comparing things with the British public has proved her point of view.
"Then what should I do? What should I do?" Lady Xue was really anxious at this moment.I thought that when I was young, I was an actor and an oiran, so I could earn more money. In this way, even if I am old and can no longer sing, I still have money to spend the rest of my life, and even keep my innocence. You can also find a good man to marry.
But all of this seems to be a flower in the mirror, a moon in the water. Once Baihuatang becomes Xisheng's property, the other party's personality may eat her that night, and then she will become a tool to make money. I am old and fading, and I am afraid that I will really be useless.
Thinking that all the years of hard work would result in nothing, Xue Niangzi shook her head desperately, with a look of resignation on her face.
"Yuxue, why does my sister think so? It's just that this is our fate? We can't change it! Didn't you see just now that when Xi Sheng stepped forward, no one else dared to speak? This is the general trend, and we little girls can't shake it." Mu Lili hugged Xue Niangzi, and the two cried together.
Chapter 86 Night Break into Yangjiazhuang
"No! There must be a way, there must be a way." Lady Xue kept shaking her head, unwilling to accept such a fate.She just learned two new songs from Dong Shuai, and the whole capital knows about her. Seeing that everything is getting better, she is unwilling to let her dream end before it even started.
"Yes, Shuai Dong!" For some reason, Yang Chendong's handsome and confident appearance flashed in Xue Niangzi's mind at this time
In the capital in September, the heat of the day is gone at night, and when the cold wind blows, people can still feel the coolness.
