Chapter 194 Old ministers of the previous dynasty

Zhu Jianshen replied: "Is the old man an official from the previous dynasty?"

"I dare not... I am just a idle person... I have long stopped being an official, this time I am visiting old friends..." Shang Lu said. He is visiting old friends... but he has a little ominous feeling...

He came to Beijing from all the way... Li Xian was sick... but the new emperor did not let him return home.

Mr. Zhu looked a little depressed, but he just exchanged greetings and walked away.

Shang Liangchen and his son have family affairs to talk about...

"Your mother can't come back... Dad didn't find her... Although she is in the capital, she asked someone to give you some silver..."

"Dad...Is my biological mother married?" Liangchen was always uneasy...

"Maybe..." Shang Lu said, "I shouldn't have lie to her..."

More than twenty years ago...

Before the spring breeze could be greener in the south of the Yangtze River, Shang Lu left his home... and went to Beijing to take the exam.

This year hasn't passed... He left home early... The capital is still frozen season. He lives in the guild and studied hard.

Someone is here...

"It's better to go out for a walk than to be lonely... It's boring here... It's still early."

"The 15th Lantern Festival is also a scene..."

The few people were itchy about it... Go and see what's wrong... Shang Lu followed everyone away from the guild hall...

When watching lanterns and guessing riddles, this lottery is also very attractive. I was hungry after walking around.

"I have a good relationship..." someone from the peer said, "She is good, should she go there together to have a drink and eat something..."

"What kind of good is that?" Shang Lu asked.

The person who spoke was an older juren, whose surname was Wang, and who was called Master Wang...

"I don't know if you're so young... you don't have to worry about where it is, you can eat and play... Let's go together. In fact, that place is very elegant and not as vulgar as it is... The third girl is also very literary... In addition, she has a good singing and dancing girl in her family, with elegant tunes and some wonderful musicians..."

Haven't been to that kind of place...

An exquisite yard, the front door is not lively, the snow in the yard has not completely melted, but the room is warm and full of guests.

"Brother-in-law Wang is here..." the servant in front of the door shouted.

"Husband..." A round-faced beauty unbuttoned the curtain and came out... The woman looked like she was twenty-seven or eight. Behind the curtain was a girl, a little girl, aged 16 or 17, with thick eyebrows and big eyes looking outside curiously.

"Xiaojiu, don't be standing there, give Brother Wang a warm drink... It's cold outside, these masters and sons can't drink cold drinks..." said the third girl.

Xiaojiu is not very beautiful, but not very ugly. When she saw the handsome Shang Lu, she smiled: "This young man is so beautiful..."

"Why don't you go quickly... What are the little girl looking at?" Mr. Wang said. Such a girl is very ordinary in his eyes. This may be because Mr. Shang is indeed a different talent. The girl is moved by him when she sees it. It is normal for the little girl to come to such a place. The little girl lowered her head and left in a hurry.

"Su San, who is this girl?"

"My mother bought it, and it's ranked nine, so she called Xiaojiu. She played the pipa well... she was still a priest."

"I don't like women with such thick eyebrows... Why doesn't your mother help her repair her?" said Mr. Wang.

"This makes sense. I turned around and told my mother that women have to dress up if they want to be beautiful..." said the third girl, "I haven't seen anything wrong. This handsome guy is..."

"My newly accepted godson... is also surnamed Wang." Mr. Wang said proudly.

"I'll walk around..."

Wang Wen's words were not very deep and unpleasant... Shang Lu turned around and left, but he was stunned when he arrived in the yard. The courtyard was not very big, very delicate. However, the warm wine was in the small pavilion that was airtight on all sides, and the charcoal fire was not strong. Xiao Jiu used a fan to blow the wind, but curled up.

"Sister, it's not good to have a fan in winter..."

"You little servant... say cold words... you are driven out..." Xiaojiu said.

The servant, she actually thought she was Mr. Wang’s servant...

"Is there a servant like me?" Shang Lu said. He had read a lot of books, but for some reason he thought this little girl was very cute...

"Then are you young master?" said the little girl, "How old are you?"

"You...what do you think I am? A girl who can't speak, is your master trained you so much?" Shang Lu said. Although he looks young, he is not a teenager. Over the years of study tour experience, he has seen a lot of people. He is just an inconspicuous little girl. I guess the Su mother bought it and raised it. Who doesn't have more daughters? This Mr. Wang actually thinks he is a boy who doesn't know anything, and he is drinking here...

"Young Master... I think you are just a young man who eats and drinks..." Xiaojiu said, "I think people can't be wrong..."

"Little girl, I heard that you play the pipa well." Shang Lu thought he would say something nice, after all, he wanted to eat her wine.

"My pipa is OK... Mom said I don't want to be ambitious, I can't be good at looking, and I can't be a Red Girl... Then I can only serve the third girl well."

"Miss Nine really doesn't want to be a Red Girl?"

"Whoever wants to be considered will go..." Xiaojiu said, "I don't want you to be troubled here... and eat your wine..."

Xiaojiu was lukewarm and hot. She originally thought she was like those women...

Xiaojiu's pipa may only be said to be acceptable...

"Everyone said that I haven't studied it well..." said Su's mother, "It's dirty the man's ears. Xiaojiu, you're still a bar."

Xiao Jiu was indeed a newbie, with a stiff expression, and seemed to not like this job...

"Mom, this Xiaojiu is not happy. Don't force her. Why not let her play a few more songs, practice makes perfect."

Su's mother sighed: " Raising some daughters is nothing more than asking them to help their mothers take care of their elderly care in the future... but that's not so bad. She played poorly and picked up three troubles. Xiaojiu, it's because my mother didn't remind you, so you can't be a polite prostitute..."

"Mom... do you want your sister to pick up customers?" The third girl was a little surprised...

"She is not young..." said Su's mother, "I can't let her be willful anymore, otherwise she wouldn't understand..."

"I understand..." Xiaojiu suddenly stood up, "Mom, you're too much..."

"Why is it too much?" A man wearing a green turban came in and knew it was Turtle at a glance. "If you want... you are the girl I bought from my family... It's natural to pick up customers..."

"Dog slave..." Xiaojiu seemed to have a little temper...
