The order was so sudden that the maids behind Yu Linglong didn't respond for a moment. Only steward Zhao reminded him timidly: "Lord, it's from Princess Pingyang --"
King Xu suddenly raised his voice: "no matter who sent it, it makes the princess unhappy, so does the Emperor's delivery!"
Zhao housekeeper didn't dare to persuade him again and said, "what are you doing with pestle? Didn't you hear what the LORD said?"
After standing in the cold wind for a long time, the maids finally came back to their senses and rushed up to the sedan chair, waving brooms, rolling pins, door bolts and other objects.
Liu Mei was caught off guard. Her delicate body was hit hard and fell on the ground involuntarily. The maid in the back would not show any pity for her. The shoes covered with dust and mud were not polite enough to step on her skirt, and her hands and feet were trampled on several times. When the crowd passed, the willow eyebrow fell on the ground, and her feet were covered with feet The seal and dust, the hairpin ring on the head was also bumped askew, and the small white hands were trampled red and swollen.
Looking at her elaborate dress up was destroyed instantly, Liu Mei wanted to cry without tears for a moment. Although she was not of high status, she was also rich in clothes and food. Where had she suffered such grievances?
Raised his head, looking at the door gradually away from the double figure, willow eyebrow subconsciously want to speak, but do not know what to say.
What can she say? The princes and concubines of others have given orders. Who dares to disobey them?
Behind her, she saw a large group of servant girls with "lethal weapons" rushing to the sedan chair in a fierce manner. The two little maids had already run away in fear, and the speed seemed to wish they could have more legs.
Following the orders of King Xu and the princess, the maids faithfully carried out the master's orders. Although the weapons in their hands were not sharp enough, they were united and broke into pieces within a quarter of an hour.
Looking at the gray faced willow eyebrows on the ground, the housekeeper of Zhao sighed and said in a loud voice: "if the Lord has orders, anyone who dares to send people of unknown origin to King Xu's residence again will end up like this!"
Hearing this sentence, Liu Mei was suddenly disillusioned.
She was full of hope in the morning, but now she's completely finished.
For a woman like her, the only thing she can rely on is her master and her reputation. But after today's experience, all her reliance has vanished.
Today at the gate of King Xu's residence, it will surely reach the ears of Princess Pingyang. But she, who is eager to ask King Xu to accept her, will she come to a good end?
When she was sent to King Xu's residence, she was turned away, and even her sedan chair was smashed. She became the biggest laughing stock in the capital. Which man would dare to take her in?
Looking up at the gray sky, Liu Mei closed her eyes, leaving two lines of desperate tears.
Different from the miserable situation outside the gate, the palace is warm.
King Xu personally untied Yu Linglong's cloak. Without saying a word, he put her on the couch next to the fuming cage and said, "look, your hands are cold. Warm up quickly."
Although Yu Linglong still has a stiff face, her eyes have already been unable to hide the smile. She deliberately asked, "that's from your sister. Do you dare to smash it? I'm not afraid that you don't give her face? "
Xu Wang slightly cold hum, way: "you have given her face last time, she also want to put her face on the hand, blame who?"
Jade Linglong can't help but smile, just a little displeasure has already disappeared, said: "this is good, guarantee that no one dares to give you a woman in the future."
She wanted to teach the woman a lesson in person, which was to set an example to others. However, King Xu was so quick that he smashed all the sedan chairs. Later, the reputation of their husband and wife was thoroughly spread out.
Xu Wang stretched out his hand to warm her cool face and said with heartache: "if something happens in the future, just ask the servants to do it. Why do you have to do it yourself?"
Jade Linglong angrily glared at him: "also said, who is nothing to find trouble, do you blame me?"
King Xu gently pinched her face and said with a smile, "all blame me, OK? Princess, please spare me this time
They talked and laughed for a while, and a few soft tapping noises came from the window.
King Xu got up and opened the window, and a silver gray pigeon flew in at once and fell in his palm cleverly.
King Xu took down the bamboo tube from the pigeon's leg and drew out a piece of paper from it.
Jade Linglong in the eyes, it is not uncommon, this is the inner courtyard, not those bodyguards can easily come in, so carrier pigeon communication has become the best way.
The tall figure stood under the window. King Xu opened the note and looked at it for a moment. A faint smile appeared on his face.
Walking to the edge of the couch, he handed the note to Yu Linglong and motioned to her to see it. He said in a deep voice, "the most important chess game is finally settled."
When the new year is approaching, the accounting room starts to settle accounts as usual. When the account books are sent to Yu Linglong, she can't help being very surprised.Originally, she asked the blue and white tigers to open a gambling house, but only wanted to do some small business and recruit people. She also knew that blue and white tigers were constantly expanding their business according to her instructions. Over the past six months, her business has been quite extensive. She has the reputation and financial resources of King Xu's mansion, her planning and guidance, and the black and white tiger and other means of taking all black and white together. These days, the business is real She is very popular. She has already made more than one million taels in less than one year.
With this momentum going on, she will be rich soon.
Yu Linglong was sitting in the room, thinking about it. Hemerocallis hastily came in and handed the jade pendant that Yu Linglong gave to the blue and white tiger as a keepsake. She said, "someone sent a message to the princess that Ruyi gambling house is in trouble. Please go and have a look."
Yu Linglong closed the account book in her hand and took the jade pendant. It was her own piece. That's right. But what happened? The blue and white tiger didn't send anyone in to reply, but just sent a message?
Yu Linglong pondered for a moment and said, "Hemerocallis, change my clothes."
Blue and white tiger do this, can only show that the matter is urgent, and he himself can not get rid of, will let people give her a message, ask her to hurry over.
While changing into men's clothes, Yu Linglong is also a little curious. Now Ruyi gambling house is already a powerful gambling house. Who has the courage to break the ground on Tai Sui's head?
Jade Linglong didn't take servant girl and bodyguard, rode to Ruyi gambling house alone.
In the past, the bustling Baihua lane is now another scene. There are few people in front of the brothels. It seems that all the people are concentrated at the gate of Ruyi gambling house.
