Vol 9 Chapter 138: Fengyue

Sister Hua continued: "It turns out that Zhuoyang is a county near Dengzhou, where there is a lot of wood, which is suitable for making Buddhist beads. Brother Qiao’s mother devoutly worships Buddha, and her birthday is approaching. So Fifth Brother Qiao took a few people to Zhuoyang, wanting to buy a string of fine Buddhist beads for her."

Liu Yuru nodded and said, "So Wuxia Qiao is still a filial son."

The fourth aunt Hua smiled and said: "Not only that, Brother Qiao is really a big, good person, and he is very good everywhere. It's just a pity that this person has a little anxious temper and his brain is not so clever."

Liu Yuru smiled and said, "If you are there, isn't it just right? He is impatient, you can persuade him, you can think of everything he can't think of."

Sigu Hua couldn't help but smiled, but did not directly answer Liu Yuru's words, but continued to tell: "Because of this timber business, Zhuoyang is also extremely wealthy, although it is only a small county town and surrounded by mountains. , I’m afraid it’s an extremely poor place. But because of the wood, this Zhuoyang is very stylish, almost no worse than Dengzhou. At that time, Brother Qiao was also young. After arriving in Zhuoyang, Seeing all kinds of fun, I couldn't help but find it interesting, so I stayed for a few more days. If it's not like this, I'm afraid it won't happen."

When Liu Yuru heard her talk about these past things, she couldn't help but feel more and more interesting, so she listened more carefully.

Sigu Hua’s voice was smiling, and continued: “The so-called Tiangao Emperor is far away, the county magistrate of Zhuoyang is of course the earth emperor there, and his son, of course, has become accustomed to domineering, completely ignoring the law. Do whatever you want."

Liu Yuru nodded, and said, "For such wicked people, it is no wonder that Qiao Wuxia will beat him!"

Sister Hua said, "In the inn where Brother Qiao was staying, there were a few merchants from Jiangnan who also came to sell timber. Among them was a young man, probably also the son of a rich Jiangnan businessman, who looked good. He is generous and generous. Brother Qiao is also a bold person. Once he comes and goes, the two become friends."

"Is it because of this young man who wanted to come?" Liu Yuru asked curiously.

Sister Hua nodded and said: "That's right. That young man can be friends with Brother Qiao, naturally like-minded. But there is one thing, they are very different. That is that this young man is very romantic. , I always show mercy, and don’t forget to sleep in flowers and willows in Zhuoyang, and go to places like Fengyue. As I said before, although Zhuoyang is only a small county town, because of the many trades and businesses, this small place has flourished. Lane is actually not worse than Jiangnan Fengyue."

Although Liu Yuru has been walking on the rivers and lakes for many years, she is a young woman after all. She doesn’t know much about these things. Hearing the words of Hua Sigu, her eyes are full of curiosity, saying: "That kind of place is said to have a lot of beautiful Girl, I wonder if Sigu Hua has been there?"

The fourth aunt Hua couldn't help laughing and said: "If someone asks like this, I'm afraid I've already slapped me. But Miss Liu asked, naturally out of unintentional. In that kind of place, where can a good girl go? It’s all where men go for entertainment."

Liu Yuru's face blushed and said, "These men are really hateful, they are really shameless. Those women are also self-willing to fall."

The fourth aunt Hua said, "Not at all. There are also many girls from good people who just walked down the road out of helplessness. They were even more miserable and pitiful. The young man was in a brothel. , I met such a girl."

Liu Yuru curiously asked, "There are also good people in there?"

Sister Hua said: "Yes, that girl was originally from an ordinary family in the county, but her mother suddenly became ill, and her father had been away from business all the year round. The girl spent all her savings at home and still failed to cure her mother's illness, so she went to the bank. I borrowed money. Miss Liu probably doesn't know that some banks are loaning usury. If you borrow a tael of silver, if you don't pay it back, I'm afraid it will become ten or two hundred taels."

Liu Yuru said in surprise: "There is still such a thing?"

Sigu Hua sighed and said, "There are many sinister things in this world, I'm afraid that Ms. Liu has never seen her. The girl's father brought back a letter not long ago, saying that he will return soon. The girl felt that when her father came back, she had money to pay back at home, so she signed and pledged on the note that if she couldn't change her money, she would sell her body to repay the debt."

Liu Yuru couldn't help but shook her head and said, "It's not good."

Although Liu Yuru didn’t know anything about usury’s sale, she knew how she did something unsure about it. If she made a little difference, she would fall into a sea of ​​bitterness, and she couldn’t stand up. .

The fourth aunt Hua nodded and said, "It's really bad. The time has come, and the girl's father has not returned. The girl panicked, but her relatives and neighbors had already borrowed money. I couldn't get the money to lend her. So the bank came to arrest people. The girl's mother's condition had improved, but she was so anxious and frightened that she passed away within two days. The girl was also sold into the brothel by the money house."

"It's really hateful!" Liu Yuru said bitterly.

Sister Hua continued: "Fortunately, the girl met the young man from the south of the Yangtze River. The two fell in love at first sight. The young man offered to redeem the girl and took her away from Zhuoyang, helping her find Father. After I found it, I asked the girl’s father to call the shots and marry the two of them. The people in the brothel were naturally willing to see someone willing to pay, so they gave the girl’s contract to the young man, and the two happily Back to the inn, just wait for the business to finish and leave together."

Liu Yuru let out a sigh of relief, and said, "Sure enough, it's a blessing, but then, why did something happen again?"

The fourth aunt Hua said, "The matter naturally happened to the son of the county magistrate of Zhuoyang. The county magistrate's son also took a fancy to the girl, so he led people around the inn to take the girl away."

Liu Yuru's mouth showed a faint smile, and said: "This and other things were encountered by Qiao Wuxia, I'm afraid that guy is in bad luck, right?"..
