At this time, Wei Cheng and Xun You were standing on the terrace on the second floor opposite Xiuhe Square. They naturally saw the arrival of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
Especially Guan Yu's unusual behavior made Wei Cheng feel interesting.
"Wen Ruo, you said you had a pleasant conversation with Guan Yunchang along the way. Do you know that he still has a wife and children at home?"
Xun You was startled when he heard this, recalled it, nodded and said: "Brother Yun was born in Jie County, which is not too far from Anyi. His data records that he had a wife when he was young, but unfortunately he was unable to have children and was later taken away.
He is divorced."
Wei Cheng frowned slightly, should he divorce his wife if she cannot have children?
However, if you think about it carefully, it is normal. The ancients took the inheritance of the family line very seriously. There are three so-called unfilial piety and the worst is not having children. If you are really unable to have children, you will indeed have the idea of divorcing your wife, especially those from poor families.
Why does it have to be from a poor family? Because the rich can have three wives and four concubines. If they really can't let go of their lover, they buy a concubine or find a surrogate mother. These are common operations.
This kind of thing is most common in the royal family, and such a shameless operation as borrowing a child's womb is not something that can be done too much.
Wei Cheng's expression calmed down and he nodded thoughtfully.
When Xun Yu saw this, although he was confused, he did not ask further questions. Instead, he looked at Du Liniang and Guan Yu, as if he had realized something.
"Wow, it's so beautiful!"
A voice sounded in their ears at an inappropriate time. The two of them looked back and saw several rich men crowding towards the window.
Different from the terrace, there are private seats in the private room next door. You cannot go outside, but there is a large window where you can see everything in the market.
The young master who had agreed had a very unpleasant expression. Wei Cheng frowned slightly and shook his head.
Du Liniang showed up like this for Xiuhefang's business. If he was coveted because of this, he would definitely do something.
Fortunately, although the words of those young masters made people uncomfortable, they did not say any vulgar words. Perhaps they discovered Wei Cheng and Xun Yu standing on the terrace, which made them restrain their words and deeds a lot.
The entrance of Xiuhefang.
On a soft couch made of rosewood, Du Liniang was lying slightly reclining, with the embroidered fan in her hand half-covered, her pretty red lips looming in it, and her charming eyes with a little shyness.
From time to time, she would secretly raise her eyes to look at Wei Cheng on the terrace opposite, for fear that her performance would not satisfy Wei Cheng. When she saw Wei Cheng smiling, she unconsciously felt satisfied. She gently raised her hand to pluck her flowing hair.
The wadding is tucked behind the ears, making it even more charming.
"The second wife of the Liu family bought a set of Yunlan embroidered clothes!~"
"Miss Zheng Mansion bought a set of Qingyun Guanyue!~"
Suddenly there was a noise in the crowd, and many ladies and their maids crowded into Xiuhefang.
When Du Liniang saw this, she was even more happy because Wei Cheng had agreed with her that for every set of clothes sold, she would get 10% of the profit. In less than half an hour, three sets of clothes had been sold.
There are more than ten sets.
Du Liniang is also a woman and loves money. Only abundant material conditions can satisfy her vanity. Only enough money can make her and her son live more comfortably in Anyi.
"Miss Du, you can take a rest first, we have to change to the third set later." The shopkeeper carefully brought tea.
Du Liniang stood up and bowed, not daring to neglect.
"Hey, are you leaving now?"
"My beautiful lady, please wait a moment. Zhao is not very talented and would like to compose a poem for the girl."
Everyone looked around and saw a handsome young man walking up the steps surrounded by several friends.
This young man is dressed in expensive clothes, and the folding fan in his hand is edged with gold and silver. There is a picture on the fan, and those with sharp eyes can see the four small seal characters of "Mr. Changling".
On the terrace, Xun You smiled and introduced Wei Cheng: "This son's name is Zhao Pan, the son of the imperial servant Zhao Qi. Zhao Qi is the best in calligraphy and painting in the world, but few works have been published. All famous people in Luoyang said: Zhao Yilang
A painting can be worth ten thousand gold."
Wei Cheng smiled when he heard this, looked down at the embarrassed Du Liniang and the angry Guan Yu, and responded: "You have said so, and you are praising Zhao Qi every word, but you don't praise Zhao Pan at all. It seems that he
His talent and learning are mediocre?"
Xun smiled and said nothing, which was regarded as acquiescence.
Wei Qing nodded, but thinking about it, in the eyes of a talented person like Wang Zuo like Xun He, there seems to be no so-called talented person in the world... If he really counts as one, it seems that someone from Wei can still get his recognition.
Wei Cheng unfolded the folding fan in his hand, and his smile became even brighter.
At the same time, several young men in the next box took action.
Wei Qing and Xun or faintly heard, "Brother Zhou, get down quickly, we can't let that boy Zhao Pan succeed."
The leader of the noble prince is also dressed in gorgeous clothes, but he has an accessory around his waist, gold and jade, which looks very extraordinary.
Wei Cheng looked back and saw that Xun was not introduced, so he knew he was an unknown person.
However, before these noble gentlemen could go down to find trouble, Mr. Zhao Pan had already kicked the iron plate.
Wei Cheng smiled casually, and the person who stepped forward to rescue Du Liniang was none other than Guan Yu.
In front of Guan Yu's nine-foot body, Zhao Pan was blocked directly at the door of Xiuhefang like a kid in charge.
"Brother Guan, why are you here?" Du Liniang glanced at the sturdy figure in front of her, frowned slightly, and then turned to look at Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei walked into Xiuhefang carelessly and responded with a smile: "I heard that there is the most beautiful woman in Hedong County here, so we came over to join in the fun, but we didn't expect it to be my sister, hahaha."
When Du Liniang heard this, her cheeks could not help but blush.
At this time, Zhang Hui, who was standing aside, said to Guan Yu: "Brother Guan, don't hurt anyone. This is the second master's property. If you offend the guests, it will affect the second master's business."
Guan Yu was stunned for a moment, then frowned and asked: "Young master's property, why do you let Liniang show up in such a public place to entertain people with sex?"
Guan Yu's tone was filled with anger, and Zhang Hui didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Du Liniang frowned slightly, glanced at the shopkeeper next to her carefully, then looked up at Guan Yu, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Guan, Liniang is willing to work part-time here, and has nothing to do with Wei Shijun, you are so
"Are you trying to say that Liniang doesn't know how to behave?"
Guan Yu didn't think of provoking Du Liniang, he simply didn't want to see his woman surrounded by so many men.
Facing Du Liniang's heart-wrenching rhetorical question, Guan Yu's face turned red, "Guan didn't mean that, it's just, it's just..."
Du Liniang wanted to look at the balcony opposite, but found that the eaves of the door blocked her view. She felt relieved and said with a bit of annoyance: "Liniang relies on her beauty to entertain people, but Liniang doesn't steal anything."
If you don’t rob, what’s the point of showing up?”
After saying that, she turned around and bowed apologetically to the shopkeeper, then walked straight to the dressing room.
Guan Yu suddenly swallowed hard on the spot, feeling very sour and depressed in his heart.
Zhang Hui on the side sighed softly and stepped forward and said: "Brother Guan, it is not easy for Liniang to survive in a foreign land alone with her children. You really shouldn't be talking about her like this today."
