Chapter 427.

It was because Li Miaozhen and Lina had returned that Auntie had the kitchen kill the goose and make a hearty and delicious meal.

Candlelight, the four corners of the inner hall are placed in several pots of ice to drive away the summer heat, and the dessert before the meal is a bowl of chilled sweet wine wine per person, which is sweet, refreshing and refreshing.

Little Dou Ding also held a bowl of gurgling drink, this child since following Lina to practice the force compulsion department of the forging method, the amount of food is even bigger, the digestive system of the stomach and intestines is strong and terrible.

Not to mention sweet wine brew, even spirits, she could drink several large bowls. Of course, she wouldn’t drink such adult beverages that would make the little peasants suspect child birth.

During the meeting, the inevitable talk about Jianzhou came up.

Uncle Xu utilized his rich “knowledge” and experience to tell several juniors about the historical background of Jianzhou, not to mention the fact that Jianzhou was the most stable, but in fact, the imperial court’s control over Jianzhou was pathetically weak.

The jianghu pikers there are piled up, and the contemporary ally Cao Qingyang is beyond the ability of you latecomers to deal with.

After listening for half a day, the aunt found an opportunity to insert herself into the conversation and said, “Master, that sword of Ning Banquet’s is a supreme divine weapon, I heard Erlang say it’s worth a fortune.”

Uncle Xu nodded his head as he sipped the sweet wine brew, “A supreme divine weapon is certainly worth its weight in gold ………. Pfft!”

He sprayed a mouthful of brew in the bespectacled peahen’s face and glared:

“You’re a woman, do you know what a supreme divine weapon is. Ning Banquet’s sword is sharp and peerless, but it’s not a supreme divine weapon, so don’t just listen to a word and use it indiscriminately.”

The little beanstalker reached out her little chubby hand and wiped the sweet wine brew from her face, unable to resist licking her palm, and licking it again as she silently licked up ……..

The aunt was unconvinced, her beautiful eyes rounded, and she huffed, “That’s what Erlang said, and it can fly, if you don’t believe me, ask Dailang.”

Second Uncle Xu immediately looked at Xu Qi’an and stared at him dead in the face.

Xu Qi’an snapped his fingers and summoned, “Taiping!”

Swoosh ……… The Pacific sword flew into the hall and hovered in a circle above the heads of the people.

Uncle Xu held his head high and looked at the Taiping Sword with a dull expression, like a stone statue that wouldn’t move.

“Really, it really is an absolute divine weapon ah ………” Half a long time, the second uncle sigh-like murmured.

“I’ve said that it’s worth a lot of money, and from now on it will be the heirloom of our Xu family.” The aunt said joyfully.

“Yes, yes, heirloom, this is a family heirloom.” Second Uncle was so excited that he could barely hold the bowl.

Li Miaozhen lowered her head, held her bowl, took small bites of food, and listened to the family’s incessant chatter.

She was a little envious of Xu Qi’an, although the guy had lost both his parents since he was young and always flirted with the fact that he was in the wrong place and his aunt was not nice to him.

Having lived in the Xu Mansion for so long, Li Miaozhen could see very clearly that this main mother was just too girlish in her mindset, so she lacked the temperament of a loving mother. But in fact, it really wasn’t bad for Xu Ningyan.

It is the character to be a little stronger, Xu Ning Yan has no respect for her heart, she is very angry, the mouth does not say he is good, the left sentence of the unlucky man, the right sentence of the mixed boy.

Actually eat, wear, live, and travel, always remembering my nephew’s share.

Uncle Xu had a big personality and a headache when he heard his wife and nephew fighting, so he liked to play dumb, but Li Miaozhen could tell that he was actually the best in the family for Xu Ningyan.

Xu Erlang’s character was similar to his mother’s, both having one thing on their lips and another in their hearts. On one hand, he disliked his elder brother and father for being crude martial artists, but on the other hand, he held extremely deep feelings for them.

At Xu Ling Yue’s words, Li Miaozhen felt that her admiration for Xu Ning Banquet was too much, and that she would probably be much better off marrying in the future, and that her mind would be focused on her husband.

As for Xu Lingyin, she is likewise very dependent on Xu Qi’an, the afternoon’s horseshoe cake licked with tears, and finally still teeth bite heart, left to big brother to eat ………

Well, we can’t tell Xu Ningyan about this.

“Li Miaochen, ah Li Miaochen, these are all karmic obstacles, if you want to live with the heavens and have a long life, you must break free from the love and hate of the human world, and learn to be appropriately indifferent to, well, the depth of love.” She silently admonished herself in her heart.

A few seconds later, she thought, Xu Ningyan this son of a bitch, Cao Guogong private house scavenged treasure has not yet been distributed to me, I have to open porridge shed relief of the poor ……….

The aunt drank half a bowl of sweet wine brew and felt a bit tired, so she didn’t want to drink any more and said, “Master, you drink it for me, don’t waste it.”

Uncle Xu was intently sizing up the Taiping Sword, and when he heard this, he didn’t even think twice about pushing half of his aunt’s bowl of Sweet Wine Stuffing to Xu Lingyin.

Xu Ling Yue wiped her lips and looked at Xu Qi An expectantly, “Big brother, I can’t drink either ……….”

“Big brother help you,” Xu Qi’an took the bowl and placed it in front of Little Dou Ding, “help you give it to Suzaku.”

The little beaner was so happy.

Lina looked at her apprentice with an envious expression.

………..

Early in the morning, before the sun had risen, the sky was already bright, and in the Churchyard, the maid Xiao Mei was once again awakened by Fu Xiang’s coughing.

She rubbed her eyes and got up, went to the table and poured a cup of water, walked lightly on her feet to the edge of the bed, and said softly, “Mother, have a drink of water.”

Floating Fragrance, whose face was as pale as paper, sat up with her assistance and drank a mouthful of water, her voice weak, “Mei’er, I’m a little hungry.”

“Mother, you rest first, I’ll go to the kitchen to get a bowl of congee.”

Mel threw on her coat, left the master bedroom, and went to the kitchen to see that the pots were empty and no one had gotten up early to cook.

The Shadow Plum Pavilion has six singers, eight maids to accompany the wine, seven maids for miscellaneous work, four escorts to watch the courtyard, and one concierge boy.

Floating Fragrance Flower Leader and long time illness, those escorts, singing girls and accompanying maids sent to the other courtyard, miscellaneous work maids also left only one.

That handyman maid has been sneaking around and complaining about what has happened to her. After going to the other courtyard, the handyman maid could be rewarded with a few coins of silver from time to time.

Staying at Shadow Plum Pavilion to guard a sickly child won’t do any good.

Mei’er burst into the room of the handyman maid in a huff as she lay on the bed, comfortably asleep.

“Get up, you get up!”

Mei’er coldly grimaced, yanked her off the bed, and loudly questioned: ”When Mother was in her splendor, she was quite kind to you, and which time was the reward silver not more generous than that of the other courtyards?

“She’s sick at the moment, she doesn’t even have hot porridge when she wants to have a mouthful, has your conscience been eaten by a dog.”

The maid was pinching her waist and scolded her, “I said it was before, before the mother was in the splendor, we followed her around and served her, I was willing to be a cow and a horse. But now she’s going to die, why should I still serve her.”

Mei’er was furious, “Mother is just sick, she’ll get better, when she gets better, let’s see how she’ll clean you up.”

The miscellaneous work maid sneered back, “Come on, who in the Education Department doesn’t know that she’s dying. But where there’s the slightest possibility, mom wouldn’t have transferred all the people.”

Speaking here, she sneered: ”Sister Mei’er, you’re not clothed to serve mama, in fact, it’s just for mama’s little savings, right? Don’t be annoyed, what kind of love is there to speak of in the Department of Education, which day aren’t the sisters playing games?

“Because they all know that men just want our bodies, and it would be foolish to really think that there is true love with those johns. Lady Floating Fragrance is such a fool.

“Xu Yinluo was resting in the pavilion for many nights, and did not spend a single copper plate, the mother for his sake, even the guests do not receive. She also paid her own money to the Education Department. Other people lift her a few sentences, she really thought she and Xu Yinluo is true love, you say ridiculous not small.

“Now that she’s sick and dying, has the man visited her?”

This spoke to Mel’s heartbreak, and she gritted her teeth, “Bitch, I’m going to rip your mouth off.”

The two wrestled.

“Stop!”

Outside the door, Fuuka, wearing a white singlet, weak and seemingly unsteady on her feet, held the door, her face pale.

The writhing stopped, and the handyman maid bowed her head without a word, for though the woman had been sickly and seemed to fall at the first blow of the wind, she had been so graceful at first that she had left a deep and indelible impression.

“Go back to ……..”

Just after saying two words, Fu Xiang’s body swayed and fainted.

Sandalwood incense curled up, and in the master bedroom, Floating Fragrance woke up in a haze, and saw the aged doctor sitting on the edge of the bed, who seemed to have just finished taking her pulse, and said to Mei’er:

“Weak qi and veins, five organs failing, medicine and stones are no longer useful, prepare for the aftermath.”

Mel kept her head down and whimpered.

…………

The capital’s first prostitute Fu Xiang’s days are numbered ………. The news instantly spread throughout the Education Department.

Some people are secretly happy, while others sigh and lament.

After lunch, Green Pond Courtyard.

In the parlor, which was covered with brocade floor coverings, the flower girls, dressed in neon dresses and feathers, sat by the case for afternoon tea.

The tabletop was set with melons and fruits, chilled plum wine and other eats.

The exquisitely made-up Ming Yan Hua Kui swept her eyes over the sisters present, plus her, a total of nine Hua Kui, all of whom had tangled in bed with Xu Yin Gong.

“Think she was so beautiful, Xu Yinluo a song Wing Mei let her become the capital’s first prostitute, outside of the lords to see her one side of a thousand dollars, the field of the flirtatious talent from a long way to come to the capital, but half a year of the fire, but has been left in the embers.”

The Xiaoya Flower Leader, who wore an indigo-colored Luo skirt, a jade hairpin, and a refined temperament, let out a sigh of emotion.

Xiao Ya Hua Kui is well read in poetry and books and is quite sought after by readers.

“The red face with a thin life, that’s what Floating Fragrance is talking about, it’s really saddening.”

The speaker is a melon face beauty wearing a yellow dress, flower name Dongxue, voice as pleasant as an oriole, singing is the best in the Department of Education.

“At first, I was jealous of her being favored exclusively by Xu Yinluo, but now that I see her in this situation, it’s hard to eat.” Another beauty lamented.

“Speaking of which, it’s been a long time since Xu Yinluo looked for her, hasn’t it?”

“As I recall, after Xu Yinluo left for Chuzhou in March, he never came to the Churchyard again, and never went to the Shadow Plum Pavilion.”

“Calculating carefully, Xu Yinluo returned to the capital from Chuzhou during that time, which happened to be the time when Fu Xiang was lying ill ……….”

The Flower Leaders sighed, Fu Xiang was bedridden and did not get well for a long time, so Xu Yinluo naturally would not come.

Men come to them, is to seek pleasure to come, otherwise, it is impossible to be sick to serve, Xu Yinluo is also just an ordinary man.

Ming Yan Hua Kui sighed softly, “Sister Fu Xiang is deeply in love with Xu Yin Gong ………”

She turned to the maid beside her and commanded, “Send someone to the Xu Mansion to inform them, the Xu Mansion isn’t far from the Department of Education, so go and return quickly.”

The maid went out with small steps.

Ming Yan’s autumn waves swept over the Flower Leaders and said softly, “Let’s go see Sister Fuxiang.”

……….

“You and I are master and servant, after I leave, the silver ticket in the cupboard you take, ransom yourself, and then find a good family to marry, the Church Department is not a woman’s home after all.

“Remember to give what I left behind to Xu Yinluo, don’t forget.”

Fuuka leaned on the bed and explained the aftermath.

Mel sat on the round stool, nodding as she sobbed.

Light and disorganized footsteps came from outside the door, Ming Yan Xiaoya and other flower leaders slowly entered the house, smiling gaily, “Sister Fuxiang, the sisters have come to see you.”

Floating Fragrance squeezed out a smile on her pale, paper-like face, her voice hoarse, “Quickly, please sit down.”

The flower queens took their seats and chatted calmly for a few moments, when Ming Yan suddenly covered her mouth and sobbed, “We already know the condition of sister’s body ………”

Fuuka smiled sagely, “For me, it’s just the end of a journey in my life, I was like out of here a long, long time ago.”

The Flower Leaders sniffed and empathized, and a mournful atmosphere filled the room.

Ming Yan softly said, “Sister is not to blame, my sister took it upon herself to have someone inform Xu Yinluo.”

Floating Fragrance frowned, her tone a little sharp, “What are you calling him for, I don’t really want to see him, I don’t want to see him at this moment.”

Mei er stood at the bedside, crying: “That is also a heartless, from the time he went to Chuzhou, he did not come once again, must have heard that the mother is seriously ill, disliked my mother. When he was a silver gong, he often brought his colleagues to the teaching department to drink, which time is not the mother to entertain ……… with all her heart and soul.”

The flower girls looked at each other and sighed softly.

Ming Yan softly said, “What else is on your sister’s mind that you have yet to settle?”

Floating Fragrance didn’t speak, but looked out the window, the sky and the earth wide open.

The greatest wish of the women of the Church Department is nothing more than to be able to get out of their pariah status, to leave this land of fireworks and to raise their heads as human beings.

The flower girls read her meaning, but could only sigh.

The ransom price for Floating Fragrance is as high as 8,000 taels.

The Shadow Plum Small Pavilion probably hadn’t been so lively for a long time, and Fu Xiang was extremely excited to talk, but as time passed, she gradually began to be distracted. Frequently looking towards the door, as if waiting for something.

The flower girls knew who she was waiting for.

I think about you every day and I don’t see you.

Ming Yan Hua Kui glanced at the water leak in the house, her bright autumn eyes flashed a trace of sadness, that man will not come after all.

“It’s getting late, sisters first, go first ………” The tears in her eyes nearly seized her eyes, “Sister Fu Xiang, take care.”

Tears blurred see, Ming Yan found Fu Xiang’s gaze straight at the door, pale face sprung up intoxicating redness.

Ming Yan steeply stiffened her petite body.

The Koya Hanabi pursed her lips.

The other Flower Leaders also noticed Floating Fragrance’s abnormality, they unconsciously held their breath and slowly, turned back to look.

At the doorway stood a young man, wearing a moon white Confucian robe, with a piece of emerald green jadeite hanging from his waist, the texture is not good or bad.

“The robe didn’t fit anymore, I had the maidservant of the house alter it.” His voice was gentle.

Fuuka’s tears came to her eyes, this outfit was the first time they met.

Last October, a young man in a moonlight-white Confucian robe came to Shadow Plum Pavilion and intruded into her life.

Life is as it should be.

Xu Qi’an’s smile was warm, his voice gentle, “After arriving at the Department of Teaching, he went to do an errand.”

He walked over to the table and gently placed an object on it.

The eyes of all the flower girls fell on the table and could no longer move away, it was a deed of sale.
