The wine was flowing freely, and after a few glasses of wine, everyone began to relax. Especially when they saw Wu Zhi, a young prince, who had no airs and got along with everyone very casually. Yan Sheng, Lin Chong and others started to relax.
The prototype was beginning to be revealed. In addition to the three young men Wu Zhi, Suo Chao, Li Zhenguo, and Si Fangguo, the seven people began to drink together, which made the private room extremely hilarious for a while.
In addition to Wu Zhi, Suo Chao, Li Zhenguo, and Si Fangguo, the seven of them, Yan Sheng and Lin Chong, were all soldiers. After a few glasses of wine, they all became bold and bold. They came and went and drank to their heart's content.
In the blink of an eye, the two small jars of Meishou wine were all gone. Wu Zhi had no choice but to tell the waiter to bring four more small jars of Meishou wine and let them enjoy it as much as they wanted.
Wu Zhi himself sipped his food slowly, and occasionally had a drink or two with them, just to make sure it wasn't a dull moment. They didn't dare to force him to make him drink anyway.
When they were almost finished eating, Wu Zhi was chatting with everyone when he saw a small figure standing outside the bead curtain, hesitating and hesitant, looking like he wanted to enter but didn't dare to, so he said in a deep voice: "Come in!"
When the people outside the bead curtain heard this, they quickly opened the bead curtain and came in. It was Liu Susu's little maid Xiaocui. She timidly walked up to Wu Zhi and whispered in a cute voice: "Master, my sister would like to ask you to talk to me!"
After saying that, Xiao Cui looked at Wu Zhi expectantly, her little eyes rolling. She had been following Su Su for half a year, and she had never seen her sister Liu invite any young man into her room.
, today is the first time, so I am full of curiosity about the big brother in front of me.
When Wu Zhi heard this, he was stunned for a moment. When everyone heard this, their expressions became rich, their eyes instantly became ambiguous, they looked at him teasingly, and burst into laughter.
Wu Zhi glared at everyone, thought for a while, and said, "Okay, you lead the way. Everyone, please wait for me here for a while." Then he stood up and followed Xiao Cui out of the private room, and there was a burst of laughter behind him.
, meaning difficult to name.
Turning around the guardrail, Wu Zhi followed Xiaocui into a small courtyard and stopped in front of a green brick house. The courtyard was not big, with only two rooms. There were several willow elm trees and some flowers and plants planted in the courtyard.
The shadows were whirling, and it looked a bit quiet. Hidden in the shadows of the trees, Liu Susu was standing leaning against the door, looking forward to it. When she saw Wu Zhi coming, she quickly stepped forward to greet him, bowed and saluted, and said in a crisp voice
: "Your Majesty, please!" Then he turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation.
Wu Zhi looked at her and walked past her without thinking. A faint body fragrance soaked into his heart and spleen. Seeing Wu Zhi step into the room unhurriedly, Liu Susu followed her step by step, and then asked Wu Zhi in a crisp voice.
He sat down, poured a cup of fragrant tea himself, placed it in front of Wu Zhi, and said softly: "Master Marquis, please use the tea!"
"Thank you, little lady!" Wu Zhi smiled and took the teacup in her hand. He tested the temperature of the tea and found it was too hot. He put it on the table and began to look at Liu Susu's room.
Liu Susu's room is not very big. It is divided into two parts. The front is the reception area. There are only two tables and a few stools. In addition to the guest table where Wu Zhi is sitting, there is also a desk by the window.
There are some pens, inks, papers and inkstones placed. Behind is a couch, blocked by a plum screen in the middle. Next to the couch is a dressing table with a bronze mirror standing on it. In front of the dressing table is an embroidery stool and even
It is quite simple. However, an unknown picture of plum blossoms in the snow hanging on the wall and several plates of chrysanthemums growing on the windowsill add a bit of color and vitality to the whole room.
It can be seen that this young lady's life is not very good, Wu Zhi thought secretly in his heart.
When Wu Zhi looked at the room, Liu Susu sat aside and looked at Wu Zhi quietly. The young master in front of her looked like a boy next door. He was probably one or two years older than her. He had thick eyebrows, handsome eyes, and extraordinary appearance.
Although he looks young, he has a calm power. "Master Hou?" Su Su was in a daze, and she couldn't figure out who the young master in front of her was.
"Excuse me, young lady, what do you think of calling me here?" After Wu Zhi looked around the room, he picked up the tea cup on the table, took a sip, and asked naturally with a smile. The tea was not bad, and it was fragrant in the mouth.
"Forgive me, Mr. Hou. My daughter Susu has thanked Mr. Hou for his generous reward! Secondly, I want to be bold and make acquaintance with Mr. Hou. I wonder if Mr. Hou can agree?" When Liu Susu saw Wu Zhi asking, he stood up hurriedly and bowed in salute.
He replied shyly and crisply.
"Oh! Okay, my name is Wu Zhi, nice to meet Miss Liu, hello!" Wu Zhi listened.
Then he stood up, looked at her with clear eyes, smiled and bowed his hand in return.
"Ah? That little girl has met the Marquis!" Su Su originally thought this was a bit abrupt and was worried about being rejected. When Wu Zhi said this, she felt relieved and quickly responded in a crisp voice.
Liu Susufu felt a little weird and uncomfortable when he heard Wu Zhi's way of greeting him. He thought he was teasing her and was a little angry. However, when he saw his sincere smile and clear eyes, he realized that this was not the case.
Then her anger turned into joy. Gradually, she realized that the name "Wuzhi" seemed very familiar. Her heart moved and she hurriedly asked: "Could it be that the Marquis wrote "Tianjingsha·Qiu Si" and "Ti Bianliang"?
Master Wu Zhi from "The Number One Scholar Building"?"...
"Well, it's me!" Wu Zhi was a little amused when he saw that it took her a long time to react. He responded in a relaxed tone, then slowly sat down, picked up the teacup on the table, and took another sip.
"Ah!" "Ah!" Liu Susu and maid Xiaocui exclaimed at the same time, looking at Wu Zhi, stunned, a little unbelievable. In today's capital, the most popular person is Wu Zhi.
They didn't expect to meet the number one scholar in the dynasty, a great talent, and a great hero here!
"This tea is good! Give me another cup." Wu Zhi looked at Liu Susu and Xiao Cui who were in a daze, drank the tea in his hands, smiled lightly, and tapped the table a few times with his right hand.
"Ah? My lord, forgive me, Su Su has lost his composure!" Liu Susu and Xiao Cui hurriedly recovered from their distraction. They were a little embarrassed. Su Su blushed and quickly gave Wu Zhi a cup of hot tea. After refilling the tea, she bowed
I stood aside, a little embarrassed, but didn't dare to sit down.
"Miss Liu, please sit down too!" Upon seeing this, Wu Zhi smiled slightly, pointed to the stool, and asked her to sit down.
"I can see that Miss Liu is pure, well-educated and sensible. She must have come from a wealthy family. How could she end up like this?" After Liu Susu sat down gracefully, Wu Zhi asked softly, holding a teacup in his hand.
Wu Zhi was also a little curious about Liu Susu's life experience, and Yan Sheng and a group of others were eagerly waiting for him in the private room. He couldn't spend too much time here, so he decided to get straight to the point and see what difficulties Liu Susu had.
Whatever concerns you have and what kind of appeals you have, he will help whenever he can.
When Liu Susu heard Wu Zhi's question, her face that was originally smiling suddenly became gloomy, her eyes showed sadness, and she was inexplicably sad and angry. She pursed her mouth and couldn't speak for a long time. After Wu Zhi asked again and again, she told her story sadly.
’s life experience.
It turns out that she is also from Kaifeng Prefecture. She is eighteen years old this year. Her father's name is Liu Yuan. He was originally a Zuocao Langzhong in the Ministry of Revenue. A year ago, he accidentally discovered evidence of corruption against Cai Jing, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
The report was reported to the Ministry of Punishment, but Xing Shu, the Minister of Punishment, secretly withheld the evidence and secretly informed Cai Jing that Liu Yuan was eventually framed and imprisoned by Cai Jing. He died tragically in prison after being tortured to extract a confession. His mother also died of depression and illness, and his home was confiscated.
Liu Susu's two brothers were exiled thousands of miles away, and all the female relatives were expelled from the Jiaofangsi and became official prostitutes. Because of Liu Susu's skills and beautiful appearance, she was recruited by Fanlou and became a singing girl and performer.
It has only been more than three months since I started singing and dancing without selling myself, until today I met Wu Zhi.
"This damn Cai Jing! This damn punishment!" After hearing this, Wu Zhi cursed secretly in his heart and sympathized with Liu Susu's experience. Looking at her sad eyes, he couldn't help but feel the urge to protect her.
.
Since they met by fate, Wu Zhi secretly decided to help her out of the predicament, and at the same time strengthened his belief and determination to bring Cai Jing down.
It can be seen that Su Su's situation is not very good, but how to change her situation? Wu Zhi actually has several options in his mind.
The first is to directly help her, give her money or directly redeem her life, which is simple and crude, but obviously it is not possible yet. After all, it is the first time that the two of them have met, and their relationship is not deep. Moreover, doing this will hurt Susu's self-esteem and talent.
All people are proud!
The second is to help her become famous. In Goulanwashe, the more famous the geisha, the more expensive it is to appear to meet guests, the corresponding income will be higher, and the situation will be better. Every year, major restaurants in the capital will select
The main criterion for choosing an oiran in a family is her reputation, which depends on her own skills and the reputation of the literati and poets she supports. For Wu Zhi, it is easy to make her famous.
The third is to lose one's nationality, that is, to cancel one's status as a prostitute, to get out of prostitution and become a good man. This measure is once and for all, but it is also the most difficult to do. It requires time and sufficient strength. Obviously, it cannot quench the long-term thirst.
After weighing the situation, Wu Zhi decided to take the second measure first, to solve her current predicament first, and then find ways to help her quit her citizenship and become a good person when the time comes.
Originally, Wu Zhi wanted to ask her if she had any evidence of Cai Jing's corruption, but after thinking about it, he gave up. After all, the two had just met and there was no basis for mutual trust. Asking abruptly might make things difficult.
So, he comforted Liu Susu for a moment. After her mood stabilized, Wu Zhi came to the desk and wrote the words "The Green Jade Case·Yuan Xiu": "The east wind blows thousands of flowers and trees at night. Even more, the stars are blown down.
It rains. The fragrance of BMWs and carriages fills the road. The sound of phoenix flutes plays, the light of jade pots spins, and fish and dragons dance all night. Moths are flying in the snow and willows are golden. Laughter fills the air with a faint fragrance. People search for him thousands of times. Suddenly looking back, that person is there.
A dimly lit place."
"Miss Liu, find someone to compose this song to music or write the lyrics yourself. Maybe it will be of some help to you!" After writing, Wu Zhi gave the song to her.
Liu Susu took the words he wrote and after reading them softly, she was pleasantly surprised. The writing was so good! She looked at Wu Zhi shyly, her face was full of peach blossoms, and her heart was filled with sweetness, as if she was filled with honey.
"Miss Liu, if anything happens in the future, you can go to Qinghe County to find me! As long as I can, I will help you!" Wu Zhi solemnly told her again, and he decided to help people to the end.
, send Buddha to the West.
Liu Susu was filled with joy after receiving Wu Zhi's promise. After thinking for a moment, she took out the sachet she was wearing and shyly gave it to him.
Wu Zhi took the sachet from her with a smile, put it away close to his body, stepped forward, hugged her gently, then quickly let her go and walked straight out the door. Only his face was red with sudden embarrassment.
Liu Susu and the maid Xiaocui, who had their mouths wide open, stood on the spot and could only watch Wu Zhi go away.
When he returned to the private room, he saw that everyone was already full of wine and food, so Wu Zhi paid the bill and left.
This meal cost Wu Zhi three hundred guan. He was very distressed, but when he saw Yan Sheng and the other ten people looking satisfied, he felt it was worth it! Especially since he met Liu Susu today by chance, he felt even more
I feel happy.
Nowadays, Wu Zhi is very wealthy. He always carries around thousands of dollars in Jiaozi, which are banknotes commonly used around Kaifeng Prefecture.
