Chen Youxi's eyes brightened slightly, and then she looked complicated.
At this moment, I was inevitably a little nervous. I also felt a spontaneous feeling of gratitude towards Lu Fang.
Before, when she was in Tanzhou, she always felt that she would meet a close friend to redeem her life. Later, that person actually appeared, but she was ultimately disappointed.
She was living in Ningyuan, still harboring the slightest fantasy in her heart that maybe someone would redeem her life.
I just no longer hope to meet someone who knows me, thinking that no matter who it is, as long as they help me get out of this dirty place, they will be easy to serve, and I will be miserable in this life.
Never would he have expected that Lu Fang would be the one to redeem himself in the end.
The little Yameni who had a mean look in his eyes and was extremely anxious.
Moreover, Lu Fang bluntly said that it was not for her body.
Although she was still not sure whether Lu Fang was just trying to trick her into going to his shop first, she was surprised even if Lu Fang was willing to spend so much effort and money on her.
This shouldn't be an easy thing for him to do, right?
In the past, when Chen Youxi saw Lu Fang's eyes many times, she felt like he would suddenly pounce on her.
Now there is more clarity in his eyes, and an indescribable confidence and indifference.
This small yamen is really completely different from before.
Aunt Xu was slightly stunned, then a little surprised, and then smiled sarcastically, "This... Mr. Lu, are you kidding me?"
Lu Fang said angrily: "Why am I joking with you?"
Aunt Xu smiled coquettishly, "This... I can't decide on this!"
She is just a madam, this Zuihua Building does not belong to her.
And even if she could make the decision, Chen Youxi, as the oiran of the Zuihua House, could be said to be the flagship of the Zuihua House. Her figure and talent were far superior to those of other Qing courtiers, so she was reluctant to let Chen Youxi go.
I guess the person behind the scenes thinks so too.
Lu Fang frowned slightly and sneered: "Aunt Xu, I know this Zuihua Building is not yours, but you are in charge of all the affairs in Zuihua Building, right? You said you can't make the decision on this matter? Could it be that you want to
Will I personally go find your boss?"
Lu Fang, the head of Zuihua House, also knew him. His name was He Er. He was the second eldest child in the family and was nicknamed He Er, the laziest child.
He is quite ugly, with red bumps all over his face, and rosacea. He used to be an idle ruffian in Ningyuan County. He could not even marry his wife, but this guy has some luck and ability.
, relying on flattery, deceit, and a bunch of idle guys, the more they got around, the more brilliant they became, and even opened this drunken flower building.
However, he heard from Lu Liang that the real boss of Zuihua House was the previous magistrate of Ningyuan County, and He Erlaizi was just a housekeeper.
But having said that, after the county magistrate was transferred to Tanzhou, he still takes good care of He Erlaizi. This is He Erlaizi's ability.
Of course, He Er Laizi's identity and status in Ningyuan County are a bit unpopular after all. At least in front of officials' children like Lu Fang and those wealthy gentry, He Er Laizi is far from enough. In the past, He Er Laizi was arrested.
Whenever there is an opportunity, I have to give the unlucky guy some benefits and flatter him. Otherwise, the money I got from Lu Liang alone is really not enough for the unlucky guy to live happily.
Aunt Xu looked at Chen Youxi, suddenly reached out and grabbed Lu Fang's hand, and said with a wry smile: "Master Lu, I beg you to be considerate of me!"
She dragged Lu Fang outside, and then continued: "If I could make the decision, could I please you? Even if you want to wipe the little lady's palace sand, I don't dare to say no! Where are you?
When I came here, didn't I serve you with all my heart and soul? But I really can't decide on this matter of redemption."
Speaking of this, she looked inside and her voice suddenly dropped, "Our head of the family has told us that the young lady is here with us, and we have to take good care of her. If the young lady likes someone and wants to sleep with anyone, we can't stop her."
Yes. But whoever wants to redeem the little lady’s body, if you can’t, if you can’t stop me, go find him.”
Lu Fang frowned.
Judging from Aunt Xu's expression, there doesn't seem to be any lies in her words.
Could it be that Chen Youxi has something hidden in her body?
He no longer embarrassed Aunt Xu and asked, "Where is your head?"
Aunt Xu said: "It's a coincidence that you are here. The head of the house came over last night and is sleeping in the back now!"
Lu Fang walked inside again, "Go and wake him up."
"good".
Aunt Xu didn't dare not agree and walked towards the backyard.
Lu Fang stopped in front of Chen Youxi.
Chen Youxi glanced at him and said, "Do you really want to redeem yourself for me?"
Lu Fang said: "Of course it is true, otherwise you think I am teasing you?"
Chen Youxi pursed her lips and looked at Lu Fang. The coldness in her eyes had disappeared, "Can I ask you again, why?"
Lu Fang raised his eyebrows, "Do you want to hear the truth?"
"Um."
Chen Youxi nodded.
"Because you are beautiful, it would be a pity for me to stay here."
Lu Fang spoke frankly.
This is the truth.
He did not deny that he wanted to give Chen Youxi this opportunity because of Chen Youxi's beauty. Otherwise, there were more than ten prostitutes in Zuihua House, and there were even more prostitutes, so why did they choose Chen Youxi?
Furthermore, it is far less expensive to hire a shopkeeper from outside.
Chen Youxi looked deeply at Lu Fang, "Oh..."
His eyes became complicated again, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Bill, please."
At this time, the charlatan with a knife came over.
The knife is on the counter.
The scholar who was doing the accounting at the counter looked up, trembling slightly, and for some reason there was a flash of fear in his eyes. He lowered his head again and said, "I'm just here to settle the accounts. I don't know about collecting money..."
The Jianghu guest, who only showed a dark profile so far, picked up the knife, turned around and walked directly towards Lu Fang.
He has a weather-beaten face, with horizontal lines on his forehead and a frown all the time. But his expression is resolute and his lips are pursed, making him look a bit cool.
Lu Fang didn't pay attention, and just shouted inside: "Aunt Xu, why haven't you called someone out yet! Someone wants to pay!"
"Whoosh!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, there was a soft sound next to him.
Jianghu Ke drew his sword out of its sheath, and then struck at Lu Fang's head with lightning speed.
This is a man who lives by licking blood from the edge of a knife. He has a murderous intention and a sharp strike. It is no accident that he must have seen blood, otherwise he would not be so calm.
No wonder the poor scholar just now thought he was timid.
At this moment, Lu Fang suddenly felt that his back was hairy and all the hairs stood on end.
He turned his head and saw the silver light striking towards his head.
Silly.
Why are there assassins again?
All calmness, calmness, and the detachment of a time traveler were of no use at this moment. Facing the immediate threat of death, Lu Fang, like all ordinary people, only felt a strong sense of fear in his heart. His feet
It seemed like it was stuck to the ground and couldn't move at all.
Death was so close to him, closer than the last time someone sneaked up on his bed.
After all, the watchman didn't swing a knife at him last time, and he didn't have any killing intent.
