Vol 2 Chapter 11: Lonely
"Female, female... Where did the female come from?!" Huang Yue'e was astonished.
Qian Dynasty, patriarchal.
Men are the most important thing, and only boys are placed on the tablet in the family.
The lightness of giving birth to a girl can be thrown into a dry well.
In some affluent cities in the Qian Dynasty, the folk customs have been enlightened, and the patriarchal phenomenon has improved slightly. Women can already study, but they will never allow women to work for officials.
Therefore, when Huang Yuee saw two women coming, she was very surprised. Look at Sanniang's clothes again, which brothel is this prostitute from?
"You explain." Lian Youyou said to Sanniang, then ignored Huang Yuee and went inward.
Sanniang lazily took out her token of the Nine Gates: "We are the Ninth Gate of Da Nei, Sanniang Yu, the eight-part guard special investigation..." Sanniang narrowed her beautiful eyes, "It's no wonder that a son like yours case"
"Nine, Nine Gates?!" Huang Yuee woke up suddenly and looked at Ma Guanqun, "Is that the imperial mage you mentioned?!"
Ma Guanqun nodded repeatedly.
Yu Sanniang moved lightly with lotus steps, and approached Huang Yuee's face, "Huh..." A puff of light smoke lightly sprayed on Huang Yuee's face: "Also, our official position, your lord, cannot be removed. If you want to remove us I'm looking for the emperor" After Yu Sanniang finished speaking, she rolled her eyes charmingly, and proudly walked past Huang Yue'e.
Huang Yue'e stood dumbfounded. If this was normal, she would have lost her temper. Who would dare to mess with Mrs. Hubu Shangshu? But today, she dare not. Because, whether it is a high-ranking official or an ordinary person, everyone respects and fears the "Mage" in their hearts.
When Yu Sanniang arrived in front of Ma Yun's room, she didn't enter. She sat alone on the stone bench in the yard, lazily leaning on the stone table, picked up the exquisite tobacco rod, and put it in her red lips.
The servants in the yard started to look at Yu Sanniang in a daze again, not noticing that Lian Youyou was already standing in front of the closed door of their young master's bedroom.
Lian Youyou stretched out her hand and pushed the door. With a "creak", the door opened, and the sun poured down on the ground, pulling out Lian Youyou's figure.
However, Lian Youyou was stunned in front of the door, looking into the dust flying in the sunlight, and murmured: "Is it worth it?" She frowned slightly, her face was less playful and more dignified.
She lifted her skirt and went in, looked around, glanced at the bed with a light gauze curtain, sighed softly, and shook her head: "It's not worth it...it's not worth it..."
In the courtyard, Fu Mingrui and Duanmu Qingchen entered, followed by Fu Mingrui's eight-door subordinates.
"Take a look around." Fu Mingrui said solemnly, "Bring all relevant personnel here and record the statement first."
"Yes!" Everyone dispersed, looking for people, recording statements, checking. But in the end, the eyes were still attracted by the third lady in the courtyard, and they all became absent-minded.
Duanmu Qingchen saw Yu Sanniang who was lazily sitting in the courtyard, and immediately ran over, lifted his robe, and sat on the stone bench opposite Yu Sanniang, resting his face on one hand, looking inside the room: "You know you Did Yao Guangda bet with Fu Xiang?"
"En" Yu Sanniang replied lazily.
Duanmu Qingchen still looked ahead: "Then do you know who is the judge this time?"
Yu Sanniang's gaze finally became serious, and she glanced lazily at Duanmu Qingchen.
Duanmu Qingchen put his hands down his face, turned his face back and hooked his lips to look at Yu Sanniang, but there was a little more calmness in his peach blossom eyes.
Yu Sanniang glanced at him for a moment, squinted her eyes, and pointed the cigarette stick at Duanmu Qingchen's face: "Could it be...you?"
Duanmu Qingchen smiled with his lips lifted, his chin slightly raised: "Do you know who I am?"
"Cut, of course I know." Yu Sanniang withdrew her gaze, took the cigarette in her mouth again, and her attitude was extremely contemptuous, as if she didn't realize that His Royal Highness was so strange at all.
Duanmu Qingchen was slightly startled, and looked at Yu Sanniang again: "You know?!" Anyone who knew his identity would be surprised, or would kneel down and worship him with great respect. But Yu Sanniang and the blue girl never looked at him more from the beginning to the end, making him lose his usual sense of existence.
I thought they didn't know his identity before, but he thought he was also handsome, and he was the number one among the most beautiful men in the capital, not to mention that his brother had to pay Mingrui. With them here, did he become so dismissive? But now, knowing that they knew their identities early on, it makes them even more surprised that they don't care about him. Strange, why is he suddenly so entangled?
"Hmph, don't you want us to give you a big gift" Sanniang teased and let out a cigarette lazily.
Duanmu Qingchen came back to his senses, and smiled: "NoNo I like that you treat me like a normal person." Fu Mingrui, her childhood playmate, is becoming more and more reserved now.
This Yu Sanniang was indeed completely different from those court ladies or ladies he had seen, she was the phoenix of all birds, and made people's hearts fascinated.
Here, Duanmu Qingchen flirted with Yu Sanniang, while Fu Mingrui had already entered the house.
When he saw Lian Youyou standing motionless in the house, he felt calm. The other party might not find the clues before him. He was very confident in himself when it came to finding the trail. He glanced at her and began to look around.
"I want to remind you, don't move things in the house..." Fu Mingrui reminded while observing carefully, "You may destroy the clues..." He has always been neighbors with Jiumen, but it is rare to see them go out to handle cases.
He also observed them carefully for a while, but he still couldn't see what case they investigated or what mystery they solved, and he never saw them return from arresting criminals.
This made him wonder if the nine gates might be the spy eyeliner that the emperor placed in their eight gates, to inspect whether their eight gates were corrupt or not.
But today, he suddenly came to investigate the case. Moreover, he also sent a woman he had never seen before.
"Chick." At this moment, Lian Youyou, who was standing still, let out a small chick, and turned to go out, "The case can be closed."
Fu Mingrui immediately stepped in front of her and stopped her: "Are you admitting defeat?" Fu Mingrui chuckled, "The case is closed without even reading it?"
Lian Youyou started to stare at Fu Mingrui.
Fu Mingrui also looked at Lian Youyou, this time it was only the two of them, with their eyes facing each other, they could see more clearly than before. I just feel that Lian Youyou's eyes are extraordinarily transparent and bright, and the bright light inside is like a hook, which can catch your gaze and make you unable to move away from her bright eyes. Unknowingly, she slowly lost her mind in her eyes.
Lian Youyou smiled wickedly: "Indeed, it's really boring to just win you like this. For the sake of your good looks, today I will teach you a lesson for free."
Lian Youyou walked around to see her, and Fu Mingrui walked towards the door.
Fu Mingrui came back to his senses, and immediately turned around: "Where are you going?"
Lian Youyou came to the door, but she grabbed the door with both hands, closed it slowly, then turned around, squinted at him in the dark room and smiled: "Close the door."
Fu Mingrui was startled, a man and a widow, living together in the same room, with the doors and windows closed, this is very inappropriate!
