The scene of being scolded by Xicui for being late last time was still vivid in his mind. Xie Youwei didn't stay long and returned to the general's mansion.
When they separated, Xie Youwei and Xiao Jinyan promised that the suitable candidate would go to Zhenfu Division to find him tomorrow.
Xiao Jinyan nodded and said goodbye to Xie Youwei.
After returning to the mansion, Xie Youwei rested for a long time and did not make any appointments with any girls. Except for going out once to get the sword hairpin that Lin Qi had modified, he stayed in the mansion the whole time.
Draw some sketches, or chat with Xie Rosary.
But even though she has been staying in the house all the time, Xie Youwei only knows a lot more about things outside.
All thanks to the thanksgiving rosary.
Every time she heard something new outside, Xie Lianzhu would rush back and share it with Xie Youwei.
From Xie Lianzhu, Xie Youwei also learned about the recent events in Huahe Building.
Hua Calyx Tower is now making a big noise in the capital, and most of the people in the capital are discussing this matter.
Just as Xie Youwei and others had guessed, the eldest princess really wanted Yusong to be far ahead in the number of votes, and kept swiping votes so that Yusong's votes would be unbeatable.
But Yazhu's votes are not low either.
In the past, Yazhu was admired by many powerful people, but now that she has changed her style, Yazhu is even more beautiful and soul-stirring.
Even Xie Lianzhu couldn't help but hide her face and shyly said that she had also cast a few votes for Yazhu.
Because of this, Yazhu and Yusong's votes are very tight, which is particularly exciting.
But these were all within Xie Youwei's expectations.
The penultimate day of the Oiran Competition Finals.
Xie Youwei, as usual, set up a small deck chair in her yard, soaked in the sunshine, squinted her eyes, and swayed leisurely.
Just when Xie Youwei was enjoying life, she once again heard a somewhat abrupt sound.
"Sister! Sister!"
It is the sound of thanking the rosary.
Xicui beside her couldn't help but chuckle.
"Miss Rosary, I probably heard and saw something new today."
Every time Xie Lianzhu saw something new outside, he would always call Auntie loudly and rush in like a little whirlwind like today.
Xie Youwei stopped shaking, took off the veil from her face, and sat up.
Just as she opened her eyes, Xie Youwei saw Xie Rosary rushing towards her.
Xie Lianzhu is different from most other ladies. She just makes a fuss every day and doesn't like to tie her hair in complicated buns. Most of the time, she only wears a simple and neat ponytail.
Today is no exception.
Because he was running in such a hurry, Xie Rosary's ponytail was even a little messy.
A smile appeared on Xie Youwei's face, and she raised her hand to pour a cup of tea for Xie Rosary.
Xie Rosary ran over, panting a little, took the tea handed over by Xie Youwei and drank it all.
Xie Youwei couldn't help but joke.
"If my mother-in-law sees it, I will scold you for chewing peonies."
Xie Rosary put down the tea cup and curled her lips indifferently.
"Oh, wouldn't it be great if you could accompany me to enjoy tea slowly? I'm just like dad."
Xie Kang often said that he was just a martial artist and layman, and did not want to behave like a scholar. No matter how good the tea was, he would swallow it in one gulp, just like drinking ordinary water.
Xie Rosary perfectly inherited these aspects from her father.
Xie Youwei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and tapped Xie Rosary's forehead.
"Okay, what's going on today? Sit down and talk slowly."
Xie Youwei's words made Xie Nianzhu excited again, and his eyes looked bright.
"Sister, let me tell you, do you know that Huancai Pavilion, a newly opened business in the capital, is very popular these days?"
Huancai Pavilion?
Xie Youwei raised his eyebrows and sat up straighter.
Something happened in Huancai Pavilion, so she would be interested.
After receiving the signal of Xie Youwei's interest, Xie Nianzhu became a little more excited, with a pair of round eyes flashing with gossip and cunning.
"Their business has been very good these days. The Hua Cai Building has been deserted in the past few days, because all the business has been taken away by Huancai Pavilion."
"Originally, Hua Cai Lou made such a big move this time, we all thought that Huancai Pavilion would hold back some big moves, but guess what?"
Xie Youwei blinked his eyes, his face full of curiosity.
"what happens?"
Xie Rosary smiled.
"It was just a coincidence that I went out today. I happened to meet Jin Yiwei and brought the Huancai Pavilion into the pot!"
Mentioning this, Xie Nianzhu frowned, with a somewhat angry expression on his face.
"Sister, you don't know how many children those Jin Yiwei brought out from Huancai Pavilion!"
"They are still half-grown children! How could they do this!"
Xie Nianzhu angrily scolded the people in Huancai Pavilion and told Xie Youwei everything.
It was probably when Xie Lianzhu went out today that he ran into Huancai Pavilion being ransacked by Jin Yiwei.
Jin Yiwei tied up many people and came out. Xie Lianzhu didn't feel too big at first. After all, there are not only one or two dirty people in this circle in the capital.
I don’t know how many times I have read Xie Rosary since I was a child.
But when Jin Yiwei came out with a group of half-year-old children and saw the frightened eyes on the children's faces, even Xie Rosary couldn't help but call them beasts.
On the surface, Huancai Pavilion has recruited a group of slaves from foreign lands to attract customers, but in fact, those slaves do not understand the language and are only trained to use their bodies to seduce people, which is far from enough to tie up so many guests.
Huancai Pavilion used the guise of those foreign slaves to trick people in, and then caught those powerful people falling into the real trap bit by bit.
If it were said that he was just here to drink wine and sleep with prostitutes, if word got out, he would only be criticized for a few words about his style, and there would be no other impact.
But what if you have sex with a young child?
That would be different.
Although the protection of women and children was not as high as in modern times, the dynasty also clearly stipulated that it was a crime to forcefully seduce children.
If you are caught, it will be easy to get slapped in the face.
With the evidence in Huancai Pavilion's hands, how could those powerful people dare to go anywhere else?
Why don't you just be tied up and go back to Huancai Pavilion?
Xie Youwei's lips curled up in a sarcastic arc, and he snorted coldly.
"Huancai Pavilion is a good strategist. He can do such shady things."
Abducting children who don't understand anything and imprisoning them to do such dirty things for them is really not a method that normal people can think of.
