Qingning was very excited, and if anything happened to Yunxi, he would go with him.

Zhou Xiaomeng was shocked. He didn't care about the defense between men and women, and quickly held his shoulders and helped him up with strength.

He comforted, "Don't worry, you and Yun Xi are both my friends, and I will do my best."

That's what she said, but she was just a commoner. The Shi family described in Qing Ning's words had a great business and was considered to be one of the best in Qingshui County.

Historian?

She vaguely remembered something. It seemed that the father of the Shi family had been gone for a long time, and now he only left a daughter and a son. It was the elder sister who was now in charge of the affairs of the Shi family.

In fact, it doesn't sound like a big deal.

It's just that Yunxi composed a poem and composed a tune, and played and sang it while playing. The Master Shi happened to hear it, so he bought the tune and poem for three hundred taels of silver.

Qingning knew nothing about this.

The deed between him and Yunxi was still in Zuihonglou. Previously, Hong’s mother asked Qingning to find Yunxi’s new poems and songs, otherwise she would send someone to arrest them.

go back.

Qingning had no choice but to secretly encourage Yunxi to pick up paper, pen and piano again.

Mother Hong was in a hurry that day, so he was anxious and gave Yun Xi's newly composed poems and music scores to Mother Hong.

Everything was fine originally.

But the song and lyrics turned out to be a hit.

Yun Lan, who was drunk in the Red Mansion, had a skyrocketing value due to this, and was like no other in a short period of time.

But Master Shijia knew nothing about it. After studying hard and practicing hard, at a gathering of the young masters in Qingshui County, he decided to make a splash.

The result was truly a blockbuster, but Mr. Shi's face was also completely humiliated.

He was jokingly said to be like a brothel boy.

Mr. Shi had a bad temper and had a high opinion of himself. As a result, he suffered a heavy fall and his face was trampled under his feet.

After leaving the banquet in a hurry, he became furious and asked people to find Yunxi and arrest him directly.

"I have met Master Shijia before. It is said that he is a manly man and often goes to the drunken red building. My brothers who were in the same building before were so miserable by him that they couldn't get out of bed for more than a month.

He also likes some tricks, leaving people bruised and bruised every time.

I'm really worried about Yunxi. Yunxi has a stubborn temper. My benefactor doesn't know. Before Yunxi... I'm really worried about my benefactor. I can't wait any longer.

I hope my benefactor will quickly think of a solution. If I hadn’t been helpless, I wouldn’t have troubled my benefactor.”

It had been three days since Yunxi was arrested. During these three days, Qingning had thought of every possible solution.

I went to Shi's house to beg for mercy, knelt in front of Shi's house, and also went to Zuihong Mansion, but it was no use, everything was of no use.

The man who was drunk in the Red Mansion still blamed him for everything and scolded him for causing so much misery in the drunken Red Mansion.

He was also given a beating.

He came here because he was really desperate.

He knew that his benefactor was busy opening the business these days, he knew it.

Zhou Xiaomeng has been thinking of a way, but the best way she can think of is to report to the official.

"No, we can't report it to the officials. My benefactor doesn't know, and those officials won't care about our life or death.

In the past, the people who came and went the most in Zuihonglou were government officials and businessmen.

When people from the government go to have fun, they just take the bills of the merchants. Since the Shi family has a great business, the government will not do anything to them."

Zhou Xiaomeng nodded. She had also thought of this. She just forgot for a moment that this was not her previous world, and it would not have the same democracy and morality as the previous world.

Collusions between officials and businessmen were too frequent in ancient times.

What to do?

She was also extremely anxious, and her teeth started to hurt when she was anxious.

Seeing that Zhou Xiaomeng didn't think of a better way, Qingning couldn't hold back and took the initiative to speak.

"My lord, actually I came to you to find out that you are currently working for the Zhao family.

My benefactor, with all due respect, although the Zhao family is an outside business, it is said that it has a deep foundation. Many people in Qingshui County want to curry favor, but Miss Zhao has a cold personality.

When we were in Zuihonglou before, the young master of the Shi family once said that his sister also arranged for him to pursue the young lady of the Zhao family.

That’s why I took the risk to find my benefactor.”

Qing Ning said, and was about to kneel down again, but Zhou Xiaomeng grabbed him and pulled him up forcefully.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? In that case, why am I still scratching my head here? Let's go, let's go, let's go to Zhao's house to find Miss Zhao now."

Unfortunately, it was only when we arrived at the Zhao family that we found out that Miss Zhao was not at home, but had been invited to attend a banquet held by merchants in Qingshui County to welcome the new prefect.

In other words, people are now in the magistrate's office.

Zhou Xiaomeng originally thought of going directly to the prefect's Yamen and settling the matter directly while people were there.

But then I thought about it, the Shi family is also one of the main merchants in Qingshui County, maybe Miss Shi is also there, and the matter will get out of hand by then.

Qingning, who was still excited at first, almost fainted when she saw this, and cried out of breath in Zhou Xiaomeng's arms.

Zhou Xiaomeng was heartbroken and immediately decided, "Let's go, take me to the historian's house."

What she didn't know was that when she showed up at Zhao's house, she didn't find Miss Zhao, but was seen by the waiter Lu Nian.

Lu Nian is no longer serving Zhao Wanning, and her status has plummeted. Although she still holds the highest salary in the house, there are many people in the house who bad-mouth her. She has always been a high-spirited person, and she often quarrels with the people below.

.

No, in less than two months, he was already being driven to clean the night fragrance because of a quarrel and a fight.

If it hadn't been for the letter from the eldest lady asking her to continue to stare at the second lady, she would have left long ago.

But now she can't get close to Zhao Wanning at all, so there is no news to pass on.

During these days, she racked her brains and gave away almost all the belongings she had accumulated before, and then she got some information from those people in the past.

Seeing this, she quickly grabbed the waiter who had just spoken to Zhou Xiaomeng and spent fifty coins to get some information from her.

It was said that someone was looking for Miss Zhao, and it seemed to be related to the Shi family, so she immediately began to think of it.

A few days ago, she sneaked out and happened to pass by Zuihong Building.

A young man was begging for help from his mother, who was drunk in the red building, to rescue some courtesan.

By the way, that guy seems to be the one next to Zhou Xiaomeng.

As her eyes rolled around, she quickly had an idea in her mind.

Then he threw away the night fragrance and hurried out of the house through the small door.

People outside don't know that she is no longer favored by Zhao Wanning. In the past, she was really embarrassed by following Zhao Wanning. Who doesn't know that she is the number one manager in the Zhao family.

With brisk steps, she hurried to Shi's house.

He knocked on the door and called the concierge out. Just as he was about to speak, the concierge of the Shi family covered his nose and sneered.

"Where are you this stinky beggar? Get out of here."

Lu Nian's expression changed, and she was about to curse, but she looked down at her clothes and the smell of night fragrance on her body, and she held back.

He put on a smiling face and said to the concierge in a flattering manner.

"You don't know me. I am the personal attendant of Zhao Wanning in Zhao Mansion. I accidentally stepped on dog poop when I went out today. I was anxious to deliver a message to our young lady, so I didn't change my clothes."

The concierge of the Shi family seemed to believe it or not, but after looking carefully, he seemed to remember that this person seemed to be the person next to Miss Zhao's family.

In the past, when my young lady invited Miss Zhao, this one came with her.

Only then did he squeeze out a smile.

"It turned out to be someone close to Miss Zhao. I wonder what happened to Miss Zhao? Could it be that she came to see my young master?"

Lu Nian was startled, and then he remembered that the young master from the Shi family had also pursued Zhao Wanning, but it was a pity that the young master from the Shi family was said to like men.

However, the eldest lady is very optimistic about this marriage. Zhao Wanning was first rejected by the people in the capital, and then found a man in a small place who didn't like women. If it can happen, it will be a good deal.

It's a pity that no matter how hard she tried, Zhao Wanning wouldn't take the bait.

Because of this incident, she even received a letter from the eldest lady reprimanding her.

After gathering her thoughts, she leaned over and whispered softly to the concierge.
