“Huh?”
The madam was stunned for a moment and looked at the noble man’s serious expression before confirming that he had heard correctly.
The expression on his face changed imperceptibly and he said with a smile again.
“Sir, my daughter, I don’t know how many powerful people and gentry care about her. Of course you have a distinguished status, but there are also many noble people in the capital who like her.”
The madam looked at Zhang Rui’s disguise as Hongxiu, and felt that she could guess some of the reasons for her unnaturalness.
“Besides, I am a mother who has worked hard to raise her daughter. Even though she is from a humble background, I still hope for her well-being and worry about whether she will endure hardship if she is ransomed. Moreover, many things also depend on the wishes of the daughters… …”
Ji Yuan saw the madam chattering non-stop, mixed with some provocations, and immediately interrupted her.
“Mom, Miss Hongxiu is definitely willing. Just tell me the amount.”
The madam frowned and looked at Hongxiu quietly, trying to get some hint from her face, but Hongxiu didn’t look at her at all.
‘Okay, it seems that the other party is really important. This girl is relying on her and is ready to escape! ‘
The old bustard faced Ji Yuan again with a sad face.
“Sir, I can’t decide this matter in one word. You also know that there are countless dignitaries who like my daughter. If she leaves with you, I will take care of the show. I’m sorry!”
Xinxu felt that the atmosphere was too strange, so the madam stretched out her hand to hold Hongxiu while showing her pain.
“Sir, I’m going to have a heart-to-heart talk with my daughter first, and you can take a break first.”
After saying that, he took Hongxiu and walked out of the house. Zhang Rui looked at Ji Yuan and saw Ji Yuan nodded before getting up and following the madam out.
As soon as the two of them went out, Du Guangtong showed up again, and Wang Li immediately asked.
“Mr. Ji, Miss Zhang was taken out, will she be okay?”
Ji Yuan looks at him.
“What is it? She is not a weak woman.”
Wang immediately shut up. He was only interested in superficiality. Now that he thought about it, the other party was not a mortal at all.
Outside, the madam pulled Hongxiu through the ship corridor, walked to another elegant room, closed the door, and then opened her mouth.
“Daughter, why did you just obey when you were born? Those dignitaries redeemed you, and they didn’t want you to be a concubine at most, and it would end miserably after a few years…”
Zhang Rui forced a smile.
“Mr. is different…”
“It’s not the same, you can’t even laugh! And if you leave, what will I do, mom, and what will happen to our Daxiu Building…”
Zhang Rui just felt uncomfortable, but she was not an ordinary woman, and she had seen people’s hearts. After hearing what the madam said, her face turned cold.
“Why, without Hongxiu, this cash cow, life will be sad? You have made a lot of money over the years, are you still not satisfied?”
“You… Wow, you girl, have your wings grown hard? Mom, what I said before is not a lie. Those dignitaries are of noble birth. Don’t think that you can chat and laugh with them on my big show boat. You really think you are equal to them, you are just a plaything in their eyes!”
The madam narrowed her eyes and said something she thought was heartbreaking.
“Just like Mr. Xiao before, didn’t you also think you had met true love, but in the end, you stopped showing up when you got tired of playing, and it’s been two years, right?”
The Madam remembers very clearly that it was at that time that her daughter finally let go of her reserve.
But she couldn’t see any look of expectation on Hong Xiu’s face.
“Huh, if you give me a nice word, you can get some money, otherwise you will be all in vain!”
Zhang Rui didn’t have the patience to say it slowly. If it didn’t work, she would fight him out. There were many women who escaped from brothels.
Hongxiu’s aggressive momentum made the madam dumbfounded. How come Hongxiu looks like a different person today? Even his personality has changed now that he has a backer?
After thinking about it for a moment, the madam still spoke calmly.
“Tell me, mom, how powerful is that person? Can he be more powerful than the young master of the Xiao family?”
Zhang Rui sneered. She didn’t know who the young master of the Xiao family was, but she had some idea of who Mr. Ji was.
Said half-truthfully.
“The Xiao family? Haha, power in the world is nothing in the eyes of Mr.”
The madam was shocked.
“Are you still from the royal family? But you are no longer perfect, how can the royal family like you?”
Zhang Rui resisted the urge to slap her, opened the door and prepared to go out.
As soon as I opened the door, I found two burly women and two sturdy turtle males standing outside.
“Daughter, you are not a climber like you when you climb high branches. If you fall out, you will not recognize the person. I will tell the noble mother, so you can go back to your room and rest first. You guys, send Miss Hongxiu back to her room. ! ”
“Yes”
A strong woman outside responded and prepared to be raped.
“Seeking death!”
Zhang Rui was so angry that she slapped the two women on the face.
The two shrews, who weighed as much as the two red-faced women, were slapped so hard that they fell to both sides. After taking seven or eight small steps, they were still unable to stabilize their bodies.
After two “bang” and “bang” sounds, it fell down, and the boat felt like it was shaking.
The two warriors, Turtle Gong, were stunned for a moment, turned their heads and before they could take action, their eyes blurred and they each received a kick in the crotch like lightning.
“Uh-huh…” “Uh-huh…”
The two male turtles looked pale, and fell down holding their crotches and arching their bodies.
“Hmph! I advise you not to mess with me!”
Zhang Rui snorted coldly, rolled up his sleeves and left.
This scene shocked the madam. She watched Hong Xiu leave without daring to stop her.
After a while, Zhang Rui returned to the elegant room where Ji Yuan was, opened the door and spoke.
“Mr. Ji, I’ve thought about it, do we need to see how ordinary people look? The worst is to fight her out. Anyway, as long as Hongxiu has traces of leaving a brothel, it will be fine.”
Actually, it would have been okay to let Ji Yuan and others leave first, and Zhang Rui could escape later, but she really didn’t want to stay here any longer.
Ji Yuan apologetically bowed his hand towards Zhang Rui.
“Don’t worry, Miss Zhang. The commotion you just made is still miraculous. It’s better to be able to go out safely without making a big fuss. To put it bluntly, in the eyes of the old bustard, the women here are all up for grabs to some extent. It’s easy to tell if the price of the goods you sell is right.”
“Then she wants the lion to open her mouth and really dare to ask for a sky-high price?”
Wang Li asked subconsciously.
“Let’s put the money down in a fool’s errand. Someone will pay for it later, so it should be him!”
Ji Yuan thought for a moment before turning his head and cupping his hands towards the Water God Du Guangtong.
“Du Shuishen, this time it’s up to you.”
Du Guangtong drank all the tea in the cup in front of him and stood up to return the favor.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Ji, Du will definitely take care of it and leave first!”
“Okay, please, Water God!”
Du Guangtong then slightly bowed his hands towards Zhang Rui and Wang Liye, and before they could return the favor, he turned into a streak of water and left the window.
“Mr. Ji, what are you doing, Lord Water God?”
Zhang Rui just came back. He didn’t know what they discussed before, so he was very curious. Wang Li coughed and said in a storyteller’s tone.
“When the Lord Water God leaves this time, he will lead the good demons in the water to come ashore and transform into a team of people. They will come to redeem Miss Hongxiu’s body with a ransom of wealth and brocade.”
You still have to put on a show, as a person like Ji Yuan is definitely not suitable to spend a lot of wealth.
Too many things happened to Daxiulou this night.
A distinguished and mysterious guest came, and he took a fancy to Hongxiu and wanted to redeem her life.
Then a large group of ferocious servants came, and just one look at them made the healthy servants in the show building sweat break out on their spines.
But the most ferocious person was not the outsiders, but Miss Hongxiu herself. This daughter’s family, who was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, was so ferocious that night that it overwhelmed all the women in the Daxiu Building. More than one person felt that even the madam was angry. Some are afraid of her.
Of course, Daxiulou did not suffer in the end, and the wealth gained still made the madam smile reluctantly. Although the chicken that laid the golden eggs was gone, he still got a lot of money in the end.
Just a slap in the face from his “daughter” made the madam feel pain even as she smiled.
There is a small box of gold and a small box of heavy pearls. There are five hundred taels of gold, which is naturally not a small amount, but the most precious ones are those pearls. Each one is large and round. It is difficult to buy with money. Makes most women crazy.
On the big show boat in the big show building, there are also many famous women. They are not supported by Hongxiu alone. The loss of one Hongxiu will not hurt the muscles and bones. They have already formed a team. They have a mature training model and will immediately support a newcomer.
At daytime on the second day, a small boat was advancing on the Su River dozens of miles outside Chengsufu City. Ji Yuan, Du Guangtong, Zhang Rui and Wang Li were all standing on it.
This boat is a bit like the one I used to ride on the Chunmu River in the past. It can accommodate seven or eight people, but the person rowing the boat is Ji Yuan.
“As the saying goes, a fish looks like a fish but the pearl is like a pearl. I saw it last night.”
Ji Yuan smiled and chatted with Du Guangtong, who was standing beside him, about what happened last night. The water **** was quite meticulous in his work, and Ji Yuan didn’t do much in the back.
“Hey, Mr. Ji is ridiculous. I went to find someone from the underworld of Chengsu Mansion. I checked the ransom prices of several oirans in Daxiu Tower over the years. A few hundred taels of gold is considered a sky-high price. There are even fewer people, and the gold we gave has not cost the Daxiu Tower.”
The gold given is real gold, but not all the pearls.
Du Guangtong “borrowed” a box of gold from the cellar of a large bank in Chengsu Prefecture. Looking for Shuyuanｗww.zｈｈhuyuan.com Ji Yuan will naturally find the person who hid Zhen Hongxiu to make up for it.
But that box of pearls was not what Daxiulou deserved in the first place. Du Guang would personally “get” it back in a few days.
Du Guangtong hopes that the person he finds cannot pay, and then he can help Mr. Ji solve his problems and find a way to properly resolve the matter, so that the good relationship between him and Mr. Ji can be more stable.
Although Sushui is not directly connected to the Tongtian River, there are several currents meandering down to connect to the Tongtian River. Ji Yuan is not impatient and plans to row to Gyeonggi Prefecture in this way. With his rowing speed, it is not possible to It takes half a month to reach Beijing.
After chatting with the Water God for a few words, the other party finally said goodbye and left. Ji Yuan looked at Wang Li who was dozing in the cabin and thought for a while before saying.
“Mr. Wang, I didn’t sleep all night last night. Please rest first. When you wake up, Ji will have some more stories to tell you, and maybe he can compile a formal book.”
Wang Li let out a sleepy “Hey” and leaned against the cabin to continue dozing off, and soon fell asleep.
