65. Chapter 65
Because the army was fighting in front, and the Taiwei advocated the emperor's frugality, the banquets in the capital suddenly decreased a lot. The soldiers in the front fought bloody battles, and the officials in the rear shared the same hatred of the enemy, but the leisure and relaxation banquets that they originally enjoyed suddenly decreased, leaving the senior officials in the capital with nothing to do in their spare time, and the rest of their daily life suddenly became difficult, and they could not help but complain.
Fortunately, the capital was full of talents, and they studied how to relieve boredom and communicated with each other. Soon a new pastime became popular among officials.
Several soup pools have been opened in the capital. When it comes to rest, officials go to the soup pool to soak in warm water. After sweating, they feel comfortable soaking. They only wrap themselves in a bathrobe, drink a few cups of wine, watch the dancer's dance, and then choose the favorite fun. In the past, the soup pool was filled with maids and didn't need to be used. There are many good women in the soup pool. Because of the embarrassment at home, they come here to rub the backs for noble people and earn some money to supplement the family income. Compared with those women who are covered in dust, these good families have a different feeling of stealing other people's wives.
Some men who have understood this are not tired of it, and they love to be cleaner than usual, and they also have to wash seven or eight times a month.
After the day's court meeting, Bai Shuiliu invited the Taiwei to go to Tangchi to experience it. Because Yuzhu was studying new carving techniques these days, he was always cold to him. The Taiwei felt bored. In addition, when the front line was in a tight situation, the northerners gathered troops and seized several cities. The Taiwei allocated troops and horses and ordered the marshals in front to take steady action, and slowly consumed the northerners' troops and food. Seeing that the war was in a tense and the variables were difficult to determine, it was very exhausting for a while. After reviewing the military case for several days, his shoulders were also sore, he agreed readily.
When he arrived at the entrance of Tangchi, Yao Muye was surprised. He thought it was just a warm pool, but he saw it. There were mottled tiles and white walls, high gates and courtyards. There were two tall stone lions standing next to the gate, which were no less than ordinary officials’ families. There were various sedan chairs and carriages parked in the open space at the door. Many of them looked familiar, and I thought that many officials in the court came today.
When I entered the gate, the wall was covered with sparse bamboo and green trees, and a small path was winding forward in the shade. Yao Muye and Baishui were of high power, but they didn't want to meet familiar officials in the pond, so they entered a separate courtyard.
After entering the courtyard, two beautiful women came to salute, waited for them to take off their clothes, put on loose white robes, and led them into the pond. The white robes were specially woven, and copper wire was inserted into the cotton silk, and they did not float in the water, avoiding the embarrassment of the nobles entering the pond to "meet honestly".
In the middle of the Tangchi are two jade-carved jade beds. Taiwei and Baishui lie on it. Under and around the bed are springs. A stream of warm and slippery spring water gurgles out, and half-holds the two on the jade bed.
Bai Shuiliu couldn't help but sigh comfortably, turned to look at the Taiwei, and smiled and said, "Brother Yao, how about the soup pool I introduced today? Soak here one by one, wait for a while, and after sweating, I asked a few white and tender women to scrub it. That feeling... is more delicious than drinking a few cups of good wine." In front of the court officials and father and brother, Bai Shuiliu always looked serious. Only in front of peers like Yao Muye can he reveal a bit of a man's nature and say some dirty words from time to time. Yao Muye and the friends he has been friends with, his words have never been jealous.
Although Brother Bai is his future sister-in-law, it is absurd to keep a woman before marriage. Even if Mr. Bai has developed a few romantic relationships, he is not surprised. What's more, he knows that the marriage between Shuting and the Bai family is almost gone, and he is even more difficult to stop Brother Bai's happiness.
He glanced at these women with only thin shirts, fair skin and beautiful skin, then withdrew their eyes, covered a hot white towel on their face, and said lazily: "If Brother Bai likes it, I am not a talkative person, so I am just deaf and blind."
Although Bai Shuiliu spoke a little more casually, she had no intention of hang out. She just smiled and used a water scoop to lift the water upwards and said, "Jing Tang was really blindfolded. Now many people have not heard you perform other romantic things. Such a long-term heart is not your style of Brother Yao. I saw that you like that little woman very much, and even thought you changed your taste and like the taste of such a good family. I specially brought you here to relieve your boredom, but I didn't expect that you still couldn't guess your appetite.
Yao Muye's romantic life is often teased by Yang Su and Bai Shuiliu in private. Yao Muye also knew that they were not famous people with bad reputations and would not be rumored, so they always let them laugh and envy them. But today, when Bai Shuiliu heard about Yuzhu, he compared these women who were not very well-dressed by the hot pool, but he felt displeased in his heart.
He lifted up the scarf and phoenix eyes and said slightly: "Miss Liu is a woman, but she has a gentleman style. Please show mercy to Brother Bai. Don't be listened to by someone who is interested and ruin her reputation."
Bai Shui's face tightened slightly, obviously he did not expect Yao Muye to protect the reputation of a low-ranking woman living in his mansion for the first time.
The two of them were speechless for a moment, and they were lying on the jade bed quietly. Suddenly, they heard the man's scolding from the next door faintly, and Yao Muye frowned slightly.
After a while, the man's voice became louder and louder, and waves of scolding came over, "Since you have arrived here, you still say you don't agree? Do you think Bao Yin is not enough? You are not an unmarried daughter, so why are you doing a reserved fraud?"
A woman sobbed and said, "Sir, when the little girl came here, she agreed to do only some hard work, not to sell herself..."
Before he finished speaking, the man shouted, "I like you because of your luck. You are just a reckless man in the army. Now that the battle ahead is in front of you, you may have died. Even if you are alive, I will tell him to die immediately in front of the formation with just one word. Do you dare to reject me but don't want your man's life?"
The woman there choked up and said, "It is because my husband was in the army and my mother-in-law was seriously ill and had no money to treat her. I came here to find some livelihood. I hope that the adults would be proud of themselves. Don't make things difficult for me, a commoner..."
Next, I heard the woman's scream, and then I seemed to be blocked by something and dragged out all the way, as if I was going to drag it into the guest room next to Tangchi.
When Yao Muye heard this, his anger had already flowed out. He stood up in a panic, lifted the spring water on Baishui's face, stepped out of the pool a few steps, and rushed out of the yard.
Bai Shuiliu wiped away the spring water from his face and got up and followed him.
The Grand Marshal didn't push the door, and kicked the bamboo door open with one foot. He saw that the nobleman who was dragging the woman inside was familiar with him. He looked like an official from the Construction Department.
The man was fat and seemed to have drunk a lot of wine. He stared at the thin legs of the woman struggling on the ground, but he didn't expect that the Taiwei suddenly broke in, and he was immediately scared and felt a little at a loss.
The Grand Marshal looked at the situation in front of him and said in a cold tone: "This lord is so majestic. The soldiers who kill the enemy on the front line, whoever you want to die will die? Could it be that the spy sent by the northern people who specialize in killing my Great Wei warriors?"
The official was so scared that he was out of control and knelt down and said, "Stop the angry, the official is drunk and just speaks wildly..."
At this time, the little woman also broke free from her restraints and knelt on the ground and cried.
Yao Muye frowned and called, "The shopkeeper here is here to come."
The shopkeeper will come trotting all the way after a while.
Yao Muye asked, "Although the people in the capital of the Great Wei Dynasty are open, there are not many married women in this kind of good family. Why are there beautiful women here, and there are no shortages of beautiful women? Can you ask who is the sacred shopkeeper? He has the ability to recruit so many women?"
The shopkeeper couldn't tell what was going on here, but when the Taiwei asked this, he was afraid that he was forcing a good man to become a prostitute, so he hurriedly said: "Report to Taiwei, when fighting on the front line, a large number of military women had to find some way out because they had no hope of making a living. The villain is rich in money, so many women are rushing to come. The villain has never bought and sold the population, and I hope the Taiwei will observe it clearly."
After hearing this, Yao Muye pursed his lips and said coldly: "The soldiers in front fought bloody battles, but their wives were going to come here to reveal their bodies to rub fat, oil and dirt for the civil servants in the court! They would suffer rude humiliation... Such shameless scandals have become the custom of the capital? If the soldiers on the front line learned that their wife and daughter were bullied and humiliated, how should they sleep drunk on the battlefield to protect their country? Come on! Drag the shopkeeper here out to the military yamen and punish the crime of shaking the morale of the army!"
As soon as this said, the shopkeeper was naturally dragged out crying and shouting.
Yao Muye turned around and looked at the fat official of the Construction Department who was shaking into sieve. He was too lazy to ask his name and directly ordered: "In the war of the country, military affairs should be the first! This man bullied his military family and spoke nonsense, suspecting that he was an insider of the northern people. He didn't need to be interrogated. He dragged it to the beheading platform of the West City. After the crime was announced, he was beheaded for public display!"
The words of the Taiwei have always been done! In less than an hour, the official who was still showing off his power and had his fat head wrapped in lime and wrapped in a wooden box. Then he rushed to the front line thousands of miles away, and must ask the soldiers in front to know that their wives and daughters are protected by the laws of the Great Wei, so that the soldiers can fight with peace of mind!
Bai Shuiliu asked Yao Muye to come and relieve his feelings, but unexpectedly he made such an uncontrollable situation. After Yao Muye gave the order, he hesitated and said: "Taiwei, although that man is ruthless, he is a rude man from drinking. He should not have died of crime. He is the eldest grandson of the Shi family, so sloppy... I'm afraid the Shi family is going to make trouble..."
The Grand Marshal turned around and looked at his friend. After a long time, he said in a cold tone: "This order of frugality is not a bluff. Can the century-old shame of the Great Wei Dynasty be washed away in this battle? I also asked Bai Hou to go to the Shi family on my behalf to tell the clan leader that anyone who violated the war in front of the front, no matter the common people of the aristocratic family, will be punished the same! My clan leader of my Yao family shot his beloved wife in front of the formation and wanted to defend the city. If the Shi family felt sorry for this fat man who was full of alcohol and sex, he would feel that the dog's life was more important than the foundation of the Great Wei Dynasty! I gave him a chance to ask them to go to the front line and prove with flesh and blood that they have the qualifications to have a fight with me in the court!"
When the Grand Marshal came back from Tangchi, he heard the servant's order, saying that someone from the Shi family had come to meet Mrs. Yao. The lady asked him to go over and talk. Yao Muye said coldly: "Suddenly I remembered that there was something wrong with the military yamen, so I told my wife that I'm going out again."
After saying that, he rode his horse and turned away. But after walking around, he took a detour and got off the horse, turned over and over the high wall, walked a few steps, and then quietly turned into Yuzhu's yard.
After Yuzhu returned from the Ministry of Revenue, she was about to wash up. She didn't expect that he would suddenly break in and was about to chase people, but when she looked at the face of the Taiwei, she took back her words and asked carefully: "Taiwei, are there any troubles?"
Yao Muye was already bathing, and Wen soaked soaked up tiredly. At this time, he lay down and threw his shoes, untied his hair and lay on Yuzhu's bed, rubbed his head and said, "Go! Close the door, don't tell the servants that I'm here, let me sleep quietly..."
