Chapter 984: Gao Hui, the wife of the Gao family, and Gu Qianfan visit
Song Yinzhang looked anxious and tried his best to get rid of Shen Ruzhuo, but Shen Ruzhuo was like a sticky plaster, kept screaming in pain and refused to let Song Yinzhang leave.
"Master Shen, I know that you are an official of the Jiaofang Division. Although I am a lowly person, I cannot be bullied casually."
Shen Ruzhuo said, "Ms. Song, when did I bully you? It was you who hit me."
"But I have already apologized."
"Ms. Song, I've been injured by you, just apologize. At the very least, you have to take me to the hospital for a checkup. What if my arm is injured?"
Shen Ruzhuo pretended to be distressed, but in fact he was very happy.
Ever since Song Yinzhang came to the Jiaofang Division, he had fallen in love with this innocent little girl. With his level of a romantic, he could tell at a glance that this Song Yinzhang was an untouched little girl. In the Jiaofang Division, that
But it's extremely rare.
In addition, Song Yinzhang was very beautiful and his temperament was endearing and affectionate, so he was fascinated by Song Yinzhang at a glance.
After so many days, whenever Song Yinzhang came to the Jiaofang Division, he would take the initiative to show his kindness. However, Song Yinzhang had always been wary of him and was not willing to contact him at all.
Today he saw Song Yinzhang in a completely different state than before, so he came here specifically to take advantage of the situation.
But he didn't expect Song Yinzhang to be so sensitive. He was beaten as soon as he was about to attack, but this also gave him a chance, so he kept pestering Shen Ruzhuo.
"I, you, I..."
Song Yinzhang was already in a bad mood today, and being entangled by Shen Ruzhuo in this way made her mood even worse. However, since Shen Ruzhuo was an official, she didn't dare to do anything.
Just when she was helpless, a man suddenly came over.
"Ms. Song."
Song Yinzhang turned around and saw that it was Zhang Haohao, whom he had met once before.
Zhang Haohao was also from Jiaofangsi, but he had a relatively high status and was an oiran. He rarely came to Jiaofangsi. Song Yinzhang came to Jiaofangsi as a coach and never saw Zhang Haohao here.
However, Zhang Haohao had approached Song Yinzhang before due to matters in Chiyamen. The two met once. Although they never met again, Song Yinzhang was full of envy and admiration for Zhang Haohao, and Zhang Haohao also had feelings for Song Yinzhang, a simple little girl.
A certain good feeling.
The women who fell into the Jiaofangsi were basically pitiful people. Zhang Haohao also came out of intrigues, so for the simple Song Yinzhang, he felt like he was looking at a younger generation.
She happened to come to the Jiaofang Division today, and unexpectedly she met Song Yinzhang and was pestered by Shen Ruzhuo.
Song Yinzhang had just come to Jiaofang Division and didn't know what kind of person Shen Ruzhuo was, but she knew.
Just in the Jiaofang Division, there are countless girls who have been harmed by Shen Ruzhuo, so naturally she cannot watch Song Yinzhang suffer from Shen Ruzhuo's murderous hands.
"Good sister."
Song Yinzhang took steps and ran to Zhang Haohao's side, with a nervous look on his face.
Zhang Hao smiled and saluted Shen Ruzhuo: "Master Shen."
Shen Ruzhuo was smiling, but his eyes seemed a little concealed.
"Mrs. Zhang, you have been in the Jiaofang Division for a long time, why are you here today?"
Zhang Haohao said with a smile: "Isn't it going to be Jiaofangsi's July performance soon? I came here specifically to discuss with Madam Song. Lord Shen also has something to do with her?"
Shen Ruzhuo's expression became a little stiff, but he still managed to keep his composure and said: "It's okay, it's okay, I was just passing by. I saw Madam Song was in a bad mood, so I wanted to say hello."
"Oh, that's it. Then Master Shen, we won't bother you."
Zhang Haohao bowed to Shen Ruzhuo, and then pulled Song Yinzhang away quickly.
Watching their leaving figures, Shen Ruzhuo's face became extremely ugly. This Zhang Haohao actually ruined his good deeds. If Zhang Haohao wasn't very famous now and was the treasure of the Jiaofang Division, he would never have let him.
Zhang had a good time.
Zhang Haohao took Song Yinzhang and walked a long way before stopping.
"Sister Song, for the sake of calling me sister, let me remind you that Shen Ruzhuo is a romantic person, so you'd better not get too close to him."
Song Yinzhang whispered: "I don't want to have contact with him, but he always comes to me, and I don't know what to do."
"The best way is to avoid him when you see him in the future."
Zhang Haohao also knew that the people did not fight with the officials. In particular, she also knew that Song Yinzhang came from other places, so how could he fight against local officials like Shen Ruzhuo.
Although Shen Ruzhuo is only a writer of Jiaofangsi, he is still an official. As for them, they are just a group of prostitutes. Even if there is a conflict, Jiaofangsi will not turn against them.
"I understand, thank you, good sister." Song Yinzhang thanked her in a low voice.
…………
In a courtyard, an elderly woman was listening to a maid's report.
"Are you sure you're not mistaken? The tea shop owner is really related to Mr. Ouyang?" the old lady asked with an angry face.
"It's true. I heard about it from the neighbors near Mr. Ouyang's house. I heard that Mrs. Zhao brought a group of people to the door of Mr. Ouyang's house to make a fuss. It seemed that Mr. Ouyang left Beijing to become an official and followed her.
It has a lot to do with it.”
The maid truthfully told Mrs. Jiang everything she knew. And this Mrs. Jiang was the nanny of Gao Hui, the daughter of the Gao family, and the maid was her daughter.
"I knew that Ouyang Xu didn't look like an honest person. It turns out that there is such a thing and he dared to deceive the young lady."
Jiang was filled with anger and wanted to go and question Ouyang Xu now, but when she thought that her young lady was extremely satisfied with Ouyang Xu, she didn't know what to do.
However, she felt fierce in her heart, and she would never let the young lady know about Ouyang Xu's Lady Zhao, and she would never let Lady Zhao off easily.
She was already thinking about how to deal with Mrs. Zhao, but before she could take action, something unexpected happened.
It has been more than a month since Ouyang Xu died. After all, he was an eighth-grade official and was sent to Xijing by the official family. According to the time, the news of his death will almost reach Tokyo.
After it was found out that Ouyang Xu's death was an accident, officials in Xijing reported it to the court, and then it was quickly passed to Tokyo. Zhou Chen also quickly received the news.
Gaofu!
"I don't believe it. I don't believe it. How could Xu Lang die? He promised me that after going to Xijing, he would find a way to return to Tokyo as soon as possible and then marry me. How could he die in Xijing? I don't
believe."
Gao Hui learned from her father Gao Hu that Ouyang Xu died in Xijing. She didn't want to believe it and retorted angrily.
The nanny Jiang who was standing aside was also dumbfounded. She was about to deal with Zhao Pan'er, but she didn't expect that Ouyang Xu was actually dead.
If Ouyang Xu is dead, then his marriage to the lady will naturally be over, and then she will have no reason to deal with Zhao Paner anymore.
It happened so suddenly that she didn't know how to express her feelings, but when she saw the heartbroken Gao Hui, she felt very distressed.
She has served Gao Hui for more than ten years, nominally as a slave, but in fact she regards Gao Hui as more important than her own child, and has deep feelings for this simple young lady.
The rumors circulating outside that are unfavorable to Gao Hui actually have nothing to do with Gao Hui. They are all written by her, and the reason why she did it was just to want Gao Hui to be happy.
Gao Hu also shouted angrily: "I really don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Ouyang Xu poured into you. He is just a villain who is greedy for profit and will do anything to achieve his goals. He is not worthy of your sadness at all; also, Ouyang Xu's death
, it was sent back from Xijing, it is absolutely true, Ouyang Xu is dead."
"No, no, how is it possible? He said he would come back to marry me, how could he die?" Gao Hui still didn't believe it. To be precise, he didn't want to accept it.
Gao Hu looked upset and shouted again: "I told you, he is dead, and he had nothing to do with our Gao family before he left the capital. Now that he is dead, he has nothing to do with us, Hui'er,
You forget about him as soon as possible, and dad will find a good marriage for you again."
Gao Hui said loudly: "I don't need it, I just decided on Ouyang Xu."
"But he is dead, Hui'er, listen carefully, Ouyang Xu is dead. From now on, I don't want to hear his name again. Do you understand?"
Seeing Gao Hu roaring loudly, Jiang quickly stepped forward and grabbed Gao Hui.
"Girl, the master will not lie to you. That Ouyang Xu should really be dead. Girl, cheer up."
In fact, she also disliked Ouyang Xu very much. She felt that Ouyang Xu was gloomy, inconsistent in words and deeds, and was not worthy of their young lady at all. It would be better if he died now.
Gao Hui's body went limp all of a sudden, but luckily Jiang was strong enough to hold her up.
"Why is it happening like that."
Obviously, she also believed that Ouyang Xu was dead, but deep down she was not willing to accept it.
She had met Ouyang Xu many times, and she was very satisfied with the handsome and talented man, who matched her image of a husband, so she asked her aunt to help arrange the marriage.
Gao Hu spoke at this time and said: "A few days ago, I heard that Meng Wei wanted to find a marriage for his nephew. I thought it was just right. The Zhongyong Marquis is a hereditary and irreplaceable marquis, and he is also famous in our Song Dynasty.
A young general and a young hero, he is much stronger than Ouyang Xu. If you can marry him, that will be the best destination for you."
But Gao Hui still had the mood to think about this at this time and shouted: "I don't want it."
"Whether it's your turn or not, it's your parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. Your marriage will be decided by me, the father."
Gao Hu roared angrily, and then walked away. He was not satisfied with Ouyang Xu in the first place, especially when Ouyang Xu used the theory of ghosts and gods to get promoted, he became even more dissatisfied. Now that Ouyang Xu is dead, it suits his wishes.
Looking at the many powerful families in Tokyo, there are many who are suitable for his daughter, but generally he doesn't like it. In his opinion, Marquis Zhongyong, who has been in the limelight recently, is the most suitable.
Although the Gao family now has a good status in the capital thanks to the power of Concubine Gao, there is still a gap in their background compared to the nobles like Zhongyong Houfu.
His official position is also a military position, so if he can marry into the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, their Gao family's status will be more stable.
But what he is worried about now is that the loyal and brave prince will look down on his daughter. After all, his daughter's previous marriage to Ouyang Xu has been spread for a long time.
Although Ouyang Xu is dead now and they are not married, people like Zhou Chen may not accept it easily.
Back in her boudoir, Gao Hui was still crying. Jiang and her daughter, Gao Hui's maid, were trying to persuade her.
"Girl, I think what the master said makes sense. Mr. Ouyang is dead. The loyal and brave Marquis who is famous all over the world is your perfect match, girl."
People always look upward. As Gao Hui's closest nanny, Jiang certainly hopes that Gao Hui will marry well. Ouyang Xu is not worthy of carrying shoes for Marquis Zhongyong.
"Nanny."
Gao Hui was very dissatisfied. She was still immersed in the pain of Ouyang Xu's death and had no energy to think about other people's affairs.
"well."
Jiang sighed quietly, she knew Gao Hui's personality best, so she didn't try to persuade him anymore, she just kept saying nice words to comfort him.
Zhao Pan'er wanted to make the half-masked mask better, so she thought of a way to ask Zhang Haohao, a famous courtesan in the capital, to help them promote it.
Zhang Haohao happened to need Song Yinzhang, so she hit it off with Zhao Paner who came to her and agreed to cooperate.
Zhang Haohao is responsible for promoting the half-faced performance, while Song Yinzhang will perform with Zhang Haohao to prepare for the upcoming big performance.
Zhou Chen, one of the bodyguards of the three yamen, Ma Junsi, was on duty when his subordinates suddenly came to report.
"Master Marquis, the deputy envoy of the Imperial City Department, Gu Qianfan, is here and wants to see you."
Although Zhou Chen is now the deputy capital commander, his subordinates usually address him as Lord Marquis.
"Gu Qianfan? Why is he here? Let him come."
Zhou Chen found it strange that although the Imperial City Secretary and the Guards and Guards both had responsibilities as guards, they were responsible for different positions and had occasional contact with each other.
Anyway, this is the first time Gu Qianfan has come to see him in his office since he was on duty.
After a while, Gu Qianfan was brought in, and he only brought one of his subordinates.
"Gu Qianfan pays homage to the Marquis."
Although Gu Qianfan is now the deputy commander of the fifth rank, his rank is obviously far from enough in front of Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen said with a smile: "What kind of wind is it today? It actually blew Vice Ambassador Gu here."
Gu Qianfan said: "Master Hou is joking, I wonder if Master Hou can talk about it alone?"
Zhou Chen nodded, and then waved to the surrounding men. Those men and the man Gu Qianfan brought with him all left the room, leaving only Zhou Chen and Gu Qianfan.
"It's just the two of us now. Let's talk about what's going on? I know you are busy with the Hat Demon Gum right now. You must be very busy. You won't come here to see me for no reason."
Of course, Zhou Chen had heard about the hat monster that had been causing a lot of commotion in Tokyo recently, but their bodyguards and soldiers were not responsible for such things.
He also had a guess in his mind about the Hat Monster, and it should be targeting the Queen and her followers.
Since ancient times, it has been said that when a country is about to be in chaos, evildoers will appear.
Nowadays, the rear party dominates the court, and Xiao Qinyan is about to become prime minister. Some people don't want to see this happen, but they can't stop it, so they can only use this relatively base method.
Don't your officials believe in Taoism? Then use the theory of ghosts and gods to deal with the Houdang. As long as the noise becomes louder and louder, they will have an excuse to deal with the Houdang in the court.
In fact, there is also a Hat Demon in the official history, and many people believe that there is a conspiracy behind it. In order to allow Emperor Zhenzong to establish a prince as soon as possible, the conspiracy of Empress Liu, who was in power, was suppressed.
Meng Hualu's hat demon seems to be a counterfeit, but all the targets are aimed at the queen. Although we don't know who is behind the scenes, they are undoubtedly the political enemies of the queen.
