Jiang Li and tong'er walked into Xihua building.
Bai Xue is simple and honest. Jiang Li does what she is told to do without asking right or wrong. Tong'er felt that it was inappropriate to do so, and suspected that all this was his own dream. Think about it, how can your girl go to the brothel? If you serve a young master, it makes sense.
Just walked into the brothel door, a smiling young woman greeted her and said, "girl, is looking for someone?"
A very familiar appearance. Speaking of it, the owner of Xihua building has a wonderful idea. The men who entered the door in the past and the women who greeted the guests were all charming and beautiful. The women who greeted the guests at the back door looked very "good family" in their formal clothes.
This is natural. The man from Qianmen comes to have fun. Of course, he should try his best to seduce. The people who greet guests at the back door only welcome the women who come to catch the rape. If they dress up too seductively, they will make the original wife angry.
Tong'er stared wide. Seeing that this woman was not as dissolute as a brothel woman, she couldn't help wondering in her heart. She thought that Jiang Lifang had deliberately deceived her by saying that this place was a brothel. This was just a serious restaurant.
While tong'er was looking at the women, the woman was also looking at them. At a glance, she saw that Jiang Li was the master, but she didn't understand that Jiang Li seemed to be an unmarried girl. Why did the girl come to look for someone today? Is it your fiance?
However, this kind of thing has become commonplace for people who cherish Hualou.
Jiang Li said with a smile, "I want to find Miss qiongzhi."
The welcoming woman slightly changed her face, paused, politely showed a smile, and said, "girl, we cherish the flower building, and the flower girl doesn't see female guests."
When she saw Jiang Li naming names to find qiongzhi, she thought Jiang Li was due to the trouble of her fiance coming to find qiongzhi, so she naturally wanted to block her.
Jiang Li smiled, took out a silver ticket from her sleeve and let Bai Xue stuff it into the palm of the woman's hand. She said, "don't worry, I'm not looking for trouble. I'm asking miss qiongzhi about something. It won't cause you trouble, but I'd better be convenient, girl, OK?"
The woman looked at the number on the silver ticket in her hand and couldn't help jumping in her heart. It was the woman welcoming the guests at the front door. Many of the men who came to play were not as generous as the young lady. Look at Jiang Li Mei's clear eyes. Her words are mild. Most importantly, there is no contempt in her eyes. The last sentence, with the meaning of inquiry, clearly respects her.
The woman felt a little sad. There was no dignity in doing this business. She received those women who came to "trouble" at the back door. Women hated them very much. Even if they were already dressed up as "good families", they could not erase the disgust of those women. They often said ugly words, and they had no idea what dignity was.
At this moment, the pampered young lady seemed to treat her and ordinary people as if she could not say no. she meant to refuse. For the sake of Jiang Li's generous hand, it immediately disappeared.
She laughed and said, "please wait a moment, girl. I'll go and see if qiongzhi has any guests now. If so..."
"No problem," Jiang Li smiled, "if there is, I'll wait for her here. When she is free, I'll go in again."
The woman was stunned, thinking that the young lady was very unusual. Without delay, she poured a cup of tea for Jiang Li and went inside to ask someone.
After the woman left, tong'er asked, "girl, who is this qiongzhi girl? She won't be... Yes..." tong'er couldn't say the word "prostitute" anyway. Jiang Li is the first daughter. Standing with prostitutes, others know that the root of her tongue doesn't know how much to chew.
Jiang Li said, "she is."
Tong'er: "ah!"
Although surprised and puzzled, tong'er didn't dare to continue to ask, and she rarely became serious when she saw Jiang Li. Sometimes tong'er thinks that her girl has changed since she left Qingcheng Mountain. Many times, tong'er doesn't know what her young lady is thinking, and what she does has no intention of explaining.
Well, who calls her a miss of her own? In this life, she has to admit all the difficulties.
Not long ago, the woman who took Jiang Li's silver came back. She smiled and said to Jiang Li, "girl, miss qiongzhi has no guests now. Do you want to go now?"
Jiang Li smiled, "OK."
The welcoming woman took Jiang Li and they took about a different route from the patrons. They didn't see any unpleasant pictures along the way, which made Tong Er greatly relieved.
Bypassing several corridors and going up several floors, the woman stopped and said with a smile, "this is miss qiongzhi's room."
She stopped in front of the house.
Jiang Li paused and said, "OK."
After the woman left, Jiang Li said, "tong'er, Bai Xue, wait for me outside the door."
"Girl..." tong'er was surprised. Jiang Li didn't intend to take them in. She didn't feel sad. Jiang Li didn't trust her and didn't tell her the secret. Instead, she was worried that Jiang Li wouldn't really plan to turn the Phoenix upside down with some girl qiongzhi. Is her girl good at grinding the mirror? Tong'er is creepy.
Jiang Li didn't know what tong'er was thinking. She just opened the door and went in. She turned back and closed the door.
In front of the dressing table, there was a slim and graceful figure. The water blue yarn skirt was about to fall to the waist, revealing a large amount of snow-white skin. The back was very beautiful, and the woman's shadow was wonderful.
"Miss qiongzhi." Jiang Li whispered.
His back turned slowly.
The woman's small face with a palm size, thin eyebrows and long eyes looks sharp and charming. It happened that she had a slightly rich chin, which made her look sincere and naive, adding a special flavor to her style. She should also know that this mouth was born well. She sipped it with gorgeous lipstick and became more and more charming. About just removed the bun, long hair fluffy and messy, messy draped behind the head, there is a kind of lazy beauty.
This is the famous qiongzhi girl in Xihua building.
To be fair, speaking of her facial features, qiongzhi is not amazing. She has many flaws, and even Jiang yu'e is inferior. However, the ignorant amorous feelings engraved in the bones are unforgettable.
Qiongzhi saw Jiang Li and looked at her carefully. A moment later, she smiled and asked, "do you want a cup of tea, girl?"
I don't know the purpose of Jiang Li, but I'm still calm and unhurried. It can be seen that she is a courageous woman.
Jiang Li smiled and said, "no, I'm looking for miss qiongzhi. I have something to ask."
"But I don't know you." Qiongzhi smiled and said, "or do I know your sweetheart?" Her tail is provocative, and her smile is also provocative.
"That's not true," Jiang Li sat down in the chair and smiled calmly in the face of qiongzhi's provocation. "Maybe I know your sweetheart."
Qiongzhi covered her mouth: "what are you talking about..."
"Xue Zhao." Jiang Li spit out two words.
Qiongzhi's smile stopped.
The charming beauty finally stopped the amorous feelings that she showed at the beginning, and stared at Jiang Li's eyes carefully. Although she hid it well, there was still a trace of panic. It makes her look serious.
"Who are you?" After a long time, qiongzhi asked.
"I'm Xue Zhao's old friend." Jiang Li droops her eyes.
"How do you know that I know Xue Zhao?" Asked qiongzhi.
"Xue Zhao mentioned you to me." Jiang Li said, "I wrote it down."
"Mentioned me..." Qiong Zhi's expression was a little trance.
Jiang Li stared at the woman in front of her. Qiongzhi still had a trace of affection for Xue Zhao.
In those days, Xue Zhao bet with his classmates and went to Xihua building to drink flower wine with Xue Huaiyuan on his back. Although he drank flower wine, Xue Zhao was not used to this occasion. He had planned to sneak out on this excuse, but on the way out, he met qiongzhi and was pushed and pushed by rough patrons, as if he had been bullied.
Xue Zhao is a courageous man. He immediately stopped and asked what happened? Qiong Zhi immediately cried to Xue Zhao, but it was a story of a good family woman being forced to go astray. Xue Zhaobao beat the benefactor and asked qiongzhi how she could redeem herself. Qiongzhi spit out a huge number, which made Xue Zhao helpless.
Xue Zhao had no money, so he told qiongzhi that as long as qiongzhi wanted, he could take qiongzhi out of Xihua building. But later I learned that it was qiongzhi who took Xue Zhao as a Feller to get rid of the patron. Qiongzhi never thought of leaving Xihua building. The poor story of forcing a good man into prostitution is just a lie made up by chance.
Originally, Xue Zhao also worked hard to design how to help qiongzhi get away, and even asked Jiang Li to help him find a way together. Later, when qiongzhi saw that Xue Zhao really wanted to take her away, she felt incredible and funny, and then came to the truth. Xue Zhao felt cheated and left angrily, vowing never to believe the lies of the brothel woman again.
Young and vigorous Xue Zhao was played with by the woman. Jiang Li couldn't see it, so he went to Xihua building to meet qiongzhi. Knowing that Xue Fangfei was Xue Zhao's sister, qiongzhi unexpectedly showed rare prudence, but in her words, she was very concerned about Xue Zhao and asked Xue Fangfei to apologize to Xue Zhao on her behalf. Xue Fangfei saw that qiongzhi might have fallen in love with Xue Zhao, but Xue Zhao and qiongzhi were not strangers, so they didn't tell Xue Zhao about it.
Since then, I have no contact with qiongzhi.
"I didn't expect Xue Zhaohe to mention me," Qiong Zhi said with a smile. "After all, I'm a brothel woman. He's so righteous that he's not afraid to pollute his reputation, but he has a good relationship with you when he talks about these things with you."
If there is no temptation in his words, he probably thinks that the relationship between Jiang Li and Xue Zhao is not general. Jiang Li smiled, "Xue Zhao's sister and I are good friends. In fact, Xue Zhao didn't tell me these things, but Xue Zhao's sister told me."
The meaning of the words is obvious. She and Xue Zhao are innocent, but she is very close to Xue Fangfei.
In this way, qiongzhi's eyes became much softer. Qiongzhi said with a smile, "I see."
"I also came here with a tentative heart, thinking that maybe you are not in Xihua building, but you are still there." Jiang Li Dao.
"Where can I go if I'm not in Xihua building?" Qiongzhi also laughed.
Jiang Li was silent for a moment and asked, "Xue Zhao wanted to take you away from Xihua building. Why didn't you promise him?"
Qiongzhi glanced at Jiang Li with unclear meaning, Slowly: "This girl, I'm different from you. At first glance, you're a well-off young lady, who doesn't eat human suffering. Since my parents died when I was young, I was sold to Xihua building, learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and flattered benefactors. This is my ability to make a living. I don't think it's shameful. Compared with those women who were sold to a rich family as slaves and maidservants, maybe one day they will be used by the master, mixed into a concubine, and gingerly accepted by my mistress for a living, I have I'm very satisfied. At least be a flower girl here, and don't be wary of the poison of the main room. "
"You look at me as if I have no dignity, but if I was born in a well-off family, I can naturally hold my head high. Only people with silver can talk about dignity, and people without silver should not talk about dignity." She laughed and said, "Xue Zhao is very good. Although he doesn't seem to be the childe of a big family, he was born with justice, but his justice sometimes seems too naive."
Qiongzhi suddenly remembered something, smiled and said, "that day he was going to come and take me away. I asked him what to do in the future if he followed him to leave Xihua building. As a result, he looked at me in surprise and asked, 'of course, you are going to find a decent business and live a good life in the future.'" qiongzhi spread his hands, "You see, he never thought of taking me with him. The man beside him redeemed himself for the girl, but he didn't let her go out and make a living by herself."
"Xue Zhao doesn't like me. He just did this kind of thing because of justice. I can't take it as pity, or as his special feelings for me. A person who has no feelings for me, I can't follow him. Why should I leave Xihua building? At least in Xihua building, I don't lack money, and I don't lack a man holding me."
Qiongzhi sighed, her eyes showing some disappointment, and said like a memory, "maybe it's his naive justice that moved me. I've seen many men in Xihua building. Everyone has their own ideas, everyone is selfish, and there are really a few people like him. I think in this life, I don't know if I can meet such people, who have no intention, and simply want to help me... Unfortunately," she laughed at herself, "He never came again, and I haven't seen him."
Jiang Li listened to qiongzhi's words. She didn't agree with qiongzhi's words in some places, but she had to admire qiongzhi for seeing things clearly. Xue Zhao really didn't like qiongzhi. Qiongzhi knew this well, so she didn't bother. Xue Zhao is indeed just and innocent. Otherwise, he would not have been framed by Princess Yongning and his death was unclear.
Repressing the surging emotions in her heart, Jiang Li said, "miss qiongzhi, it's not that Xue Zhao doesn't want to come, it's that he can't come."
"Oh?" Qiongzhi smiled, "why can't he come? Is it because he got married?"
"He's dead." Jiang Li Dao.
Qiongzhi was stunned. It seemed that it took a long time to understand what Jiang Li meant when she said three words. She exclaimed, "impossible!"
"He really died, died in Yanjing City, was robbed and killed by robbers, and dumped his body in the river."
Qiongzhi suddenly covered her mouth. Jiang Li clearly saw that qiongzhi's eyes were a little tearful. She shook her head and muttered, "how can it be..."
"You only know Xue Zhao's name, but you don't know Xue Zhao's identity. Xue Zhao is the son of Xue Huaiyuan, the Prime Minister of Tongxiang County, and her sister Xue Fangfei married to Yanjing. A year ago, Xue Fangfei had a miscarriage in Yanjing. Xue Zhao went to Yanjing to visit her and was robbed and killed by robbers. Later, Xue Fangfei died, and Xue Huaiyuan also died." Jiang Li said extraordinarily calm. She looked at qiongzhi, "don't you think it's strange that all three members of the Xue family died in just one year?"
Qiongzhi asked, "what do you mean?"
"Because of my relationship with Xue Fangfei, I'm trying to find out about it, but I can definitely tell you that Xue Zhao died of another cause, although it's not clear yet. I came to Xiangyang to realize Xue Fangfei's last wish, miss qiongzhi," Jiang Li looked at her, "I know you are a capable person. Xiangyang's rich people come to xihualou every day. It's easy for you to inquire about Xiangyang."
"What do you want me to inquire for you?" Qiongzhi asked immediately.
"The Xue family in Tongxiang," said Jiang Li, "in fact, I can be sure of the deaths of Xue Zhao and Xue Fangfei, because I saw them with my own eyes... But Xue Huaiyuan is in Tongxiang, and I don't know. I want you to help me find out what happened to Xue Huaiyuan in Tongxiang half a year ago, who took care of the aftermath, and where he was buried?"
"Why should I trust you?" Asked qiongzhi.
Although qiongzhi was sad when she suddenly learned of Xue Zhao's death, she didn't lose her mind at this time.
"Xue Zhao is a man of love and righteousness. I think the people he makes friends with are not unreasonable. I'm here for the Xue family, and I hope you can help me." Jiang Li said, "I don't have any chips to deal with you, because you don't lack anything, so I beg you."
Qiongzhi stared at Jiang Li dully. Jiang Li's attitude was very sincere, almost to the point of humbleness, and her eyes were sincere and firm, not like lying.
"Xue Zhao is not famous in Yanjing City, but Xue Fangfei's name is unknown in Yanjing city." Jiang Li said, "people who came to Xihua building may have been to Yanjing. If you inquire about it, you can know the recent situation of Xue Fangfei and whether I have lied."
Jiang Lisi thought about going, and felt that it was most suitable for qiongzhi to inquire about Tongxiang. First of all, qiongzhi is indeed the most popular flower girl in Xihua building. The patrons are either rich or expensive. Everyone has them. It's easy to inquire about a few things, and you can dig out the inside story that others don't know.
Second, qiongzhi is a person who is not under any threat. From her words that it's good to be a brothel girl, we can see that she doesn't lack money, is not afraid of death, doesn't want to climb up with dignitaries, and has no relatives. It's that someone notices that he is looking for qiongzhi and wants to pry the news from qiongzhi's mouth. There is nothing he can do, and qiongzhi won't let the other party succeed.
Finally, of course, it's because few people should think that Jiang Li, the first daughter, will have contact with qiongzhi, a flower girl, hidden in the dark, and always be safe.
Qiongzhi gritted her teeth and struggled for a long time, saying, "I can promise you, but you want me to see that Xue Zhao is really dead."
"Xue Zhao's grave is in Yanjing," Jiang Li whispered, "but don't worry, one day, their sister and brother will return to their hometown, and I will reunite them." She said, "at that time, miss qiongzhi can visit her old friends."
……
When Jiang Li came out of the house, tong'er and Bai Xue couldn't help it. For fear that Jiang Li had been poisoned by the "qiongzhi girl" in it, she was relieved to see Jiang Li come out unharmed. Tong'er also wanted to see inside, only to see a figure in a blue skirt sitting in front of the dressing table, shoulders slightly stirred, as if sobbing.
Tong'er was surprised, thinking what was going on? Why is this girl qiongzhi still crying? Can't it be Jiang Li's bully? Jiang Li, a little girl, why should she bully people and cry?
Jiang Li said, "don't look, let's go."
Tong'er quickly put away her thoughts and hurriedly caught up with Bai Xue in Jiang Li's footsteps.
Jiang Li's footsteps are not light, but they are not heavier than when they came here.
Let qiongzhi help, in fact, at first she was not sure. However, it was because of the side that she met qiongzhi when she was Xue Fangfei that she vaguely felt that qiongzhi was in love with Xue Zhao. But that bit of friendship has really passed for a long time, and I don't know how much it still exists.
Everyone says that bitches are ruthless and playmates are unjust, and the women in the happy scene must not be sincere, but Jiang Li believes that the women in the fireworks land are often more absolute than ordinary people when they are in love. In the end, she won the game. Qiongzhi still has an old love for Xue Zhao. Xue Zhao's death touched qiongzhi. Qiongzhi was willing to help, which was the best thing.
As long as she learned the news of Tongxiang and the situation of Xue Huaiyuan, her trip was not in vain. Knowing what the situation is, it will be easier to make countermeasures. What excuse can you think of to return to Tongxiang during this Xiangyang trip, it will be solved easily.
The three of them walked out of the road from time to time. Tong'er originally wanted to find someone to lead the way, but he didn't hesitate to see Jiang Li, who seemed to know the road. He was familiar with it, so he gave up, thinking that his girl recognized the road as a good hand and knew it once.
When I walked to the back door, I didn't see the woman who greeted the guests at first, but I met a man unexpectedly. Because the people who came to the back door were all women looking for their husband, and the men came in from the front door, Jiang Li couldn't help looking at the man more.
He is a middle-aged man with a strong body. He wears slightly strange clothes, unlike Xiangyang's service, like a strong suit with armor. It's strange to say so. This man has a finger long scar on his left face, which is slightly banditic and out of tune with other people in Xiangyang.
The man probably didn't expect a little girl to suddenly come out of it, and at a glance, he knew it wasn't the girl in the flower house, and he couldn't help looking at Jiang Li more.
Between the two people looking at each other, they only felt a strange feeling, as if they were familiar, but Jiang Li clearly had not seen this man. After a little thought, people had passed her and walked in.
Jiang Li stopped and looked back. The man had gone upstairs and disappeared. Maybe he was a benefactor who came to have fun.
"But what's wrong with the girl?" Snow White asked Jiang Li when she looked back at the man.
"Nothing." Jiang Li thought about it and couldn't figure out where this person had met, but this strange feeling was not annoying. Standing here was inevitable to attract attention, and she said, "let's go."
With two servant girls, he walked out of Xihua building without returning.
……
As soon as Jiang Li's front foot came out of the Xihua building, Wenji at the back foot reported the matter to Ji Heng in the pavilion.
"Miss Jiang Er entered Xihua building and met qiongzhi, the flower girl who is popular in Xihua building." Wen Jidao.
"Qiong Zhi..." Lu Ji mused, "she went to find Qiong Zhi specially?"
"It should be that qiongzhi is the number one in Xihua building. There are dark guards in front of the house, and the people sent out can't detect what they said. However, Miss Jiang Er stayed in qiongzhi's room for a while before she came out. It's not a short stay. After she left, qiongzhi seemed very excited. She stayed in the room alone and closed the door today."
Ji Xuan raised her eyebrows: "so."
"Adults, it's better to let someone go to find this qiongzhi girl," Lu Ji suggested, "to see what Miss Jiang er said to her."
"That's impossible." Ji Xuan smiled faintly.
"Why?"
Wen Ji actively explained: "This girl qiongzhi is a tough character, soft and hard. She was taught by the mother of xihualou when she was young, and she was obsessed with her bones. Many patrons wanted to redeem her. Even the childe of a rich family wanted to marry her as a wife, but qiongzhi refused. Other flower girls sold themselves to raise money for Congliang, qiongzhi is not short of silver, and she doesn't want to be Congliang, and her position as a housewife can't be moved."
Lu Ji was stunned. Qiongzhi turned out to be such a hard bone, which he didn't expect.
"And qiongzhi has contacts with many dignitaries in Xiangyang. These people are willing to protect her, just like the amazing fairy in Yanjing city in the past, so it's not easy to be tough. Besides - with qiongzhi's character, even if you are tough, you may not succeed."
Ji Xuan lazily closed the fan and said, "see, Miss Jiang came prepared and specially found a dagger without a scabbard."
"In this case, Miss Jiang er's scheming is far deeper than we estimated." Lu Ji murmured.
Jiang Li chose qiongzhi. No matter what they did, qiongzhi was a stone that couldn't be pried open. Jiang Li found the safest qiongzhi at the beginning to prevent someone from trying to pry open each other's mouth.
She thought of all the possibilities and retreats, but it was helpless.
"Send someone to stare at qiongzhi." Ji Heng smiled and said, "look what she's going to do next."
Wenji takes orders.
Lu Ji looked at Ji Heng again. "Speaking of it, the person arranged by the Li family has also arrived. This time, the boy of the Youxiang family decided to deal with the Ye family. Ye Shijie didn't follow the way he arranged now. This time, he tripped the Ye family. I don't know if he can do it."
"Why not?" Ji Heng asked rhetorically.
Lu Ji hesitated for a moment, touched his goatee, and then said, "your previous plans were mixed up because of Miss Jiang er. Now Miss Jiang Er is also in Xiangyang, and I always think that Miss Jiang Er is not simple. If Miss Jiang Er finds qiongzhi this time, is it related to this matter? If Miss Jiang Er gets involved in this again, it's not good."
Several times, Jiang Li disrupted Ji Heng's arrangement. But every time, it seemed that she had no intention to do it. Lu Ji felt that Miss Jiang ER was Ji Heng's nemesis in her previous life. In this life, she followed the old path and always made trouble for Ji Heng. Where there are ginger and pear, there is "accident".
"If she has the ability, she'll try to mess it up." Ji Xuan squinted slightly, "I'll wait."

Jiang Li and tong'er walked into Xihua building.
Bai Xue is simple and honest. Jiang Li does what she is told to do without asking right or wrong. Tong'er felt that it was inappropriate to do so, and suspected that all this was his own dream. Think about it, how can your girl go to the brothel? If you serve a young master, it makes sense.
Just walked into the brothel door, a smiling young woman greeted her and said, "girl, is looking for someone?"
A very familiar appearance. Speaking of it, the owner of Xihua building has a wonderful idea. The men who entered the door in the past and the women who greeted the guests were all charming and beautiful. The women who greeted the guests at the back door looked very "good family" in their formal clothes.
This is natural. The man from Qianmen comes to have fun. Of course, he should try his best to seduce. The people who greet guests at the back door only welcome the women who come to catch the rape. If they dress up too seductively, they will make the original wife angry.
Tong'er stared wide. Seeing that this woman was not as dissolute as a brothel woman, she couldn't help wondering in her heart. She thought that Jiang Lifang had deliberately deceived her by saying that this place was a brothel. This was just a serious restaurant.
While tong'er was looking at the women, the woman was also looking at them. At a glance, she saw that Jiang Li was the master, but she didn't understand that Jiang Li seemed to be an unmarried girl. Why did the girl come to look for someone today? Is it your fiance?
However, this kind of thing has become commonplace for people who cherish Hualou.
Jiang Li said with a smile, "I want to find Miss qiongzhi."
The welcoming woman slightly changed her face, paused, politely showed a smile, and said, "girl, we cherish the flower building, and the flower girl doesn't see female guests."
When she saw Jiang Li naming names to find qiongzhi, she thought Jiang Li was due to the trouble of her fiance coming to find qiongzhi, so she naturally wanted to block her.
Jiang Li smiled, took out a silver ticket from her sleeve and let Bai Xue stuff it into the palm of the woman's hand. She said, "don't worry, I'm not looking for trouble. I'm asking miss qiongzhi about something. It won't cause you trouble, but I'd better be convenient, girl, OK?"
The woman looked at the number on the silver ticket in her hand and couldn't help jumping in her heart. It was the woman welcoming the guests at the front door. Many of the men who came to play were not as generous as the young lady. Look at Jiang Li Mei's clear eyes. Her words are mild. Most importantly, there is no contempt in her eyes. The last sentence, with the meaning of inquiry, clearly respects her.
The woman felt a little sad. There was no dignity in doing this business. She received those women who came to "trouble" at the back door. Women hated them very much. Even if they were already dressed up as "good families", they could not erase the disgust of those women. They often said ugly words, and they had no idea what dignity was.
At this moment, the pampered young lady seemed to treat her and ordinary people as if she could not say no. she meant to refuse. For the sake of Jiang Li's generous hand, it immediately disappeared.
She laughed and said, "please wait a moment, girl. I'll go and see if qiongzhi has any guests now. If so..."
"No problem," Jiang Li smiled, "if there is, I'll wait for her here. When she is free, I'll go in again."
The woman was stunned, thinking that the young lady was very unusual. Without delay, she poured a cup of tea for Jiang Li and went inside to ask someone.
After the woman left, tong'er asked, "girl, who is this qiongzhi girl? She won't be... Yes..." tong'er couldn't say the word "prostitute" anyway. Jiang Li is the first daughter. Standing with prostitutes, others know that the root of her tongue doesn't know how much to chew.
Jiang Li said, "she is."
Tong'er: "ah!"
Although surprised and puzzled, tong'er didn't dare to continue to ask, and she rarely became serious when she saw Jiang Li. Sometimes tong'er thinks that her girl has changed since she left Qingcheng Mountain. Many times, tong'er doesn't know what her young lady is thinking, and what she does has no intention of explaining.
Well, who calls her a miss of her own? In this life, she has to admit all the difficulties.
Not long ago, the woman who took Jiang Li's silver came back. She smiled and said to Jiang Li, "girl, miss qiongzhi has no guests now. Do you want to go now?"
Jiang Li smiled, "OK."
The welcoming woman took Jiang Li and they took about a different route from the patrons. They didn't see any unpleasant pictures along the way, which made Tong Er greatly relieved.
Bypassing several corridors and going up several floors, the woman stopped and said with a smile, "this is miss qiongzhi's room."
She stopped in front of the house.
Jiang Li paused and said, "OK."
After the woman left, Jiang Li said, "tong'er, Bai Xue, wait for me outside the door."
"Girl..." tong'er was surprised. Jiang Li didn't intend to take them in. She didn't feel sad. Jiang Li didn't trust her and didn't tell her the secret. Instead, she was worried that Jiang Li wouldn't really plan to turn the Phoenix upside down with some girl qiongzhi. Is her girl good at grinding the mirror? Tong'er is creepy.
Jiang Li didn't know what tong'er was thinking. She just opened the door and went in. She turned back and closed the door.
In front of the dressing table, there was a slim and graceful figure. The water blue yarn skirt was about to fall to the waist, revealing a large amount of snow-white skin. The back was very beautiful, and the woman's shadow was wonderful.
"Miss qiongzhi." Jiang Li whispered.
His back turned slowly.
The woman's small face with a palm size, thin eyebrows and long eyes looks sharp and charming. It happened that she had a slightly rich chin, which made her look sincere and naive, adding a special flavor to her style. She should also know that this mouth was born well. She sipped it with gorgeous lipstick and became more and more charming. About just removed the bun, long hair fluffy and messy, messy draped behind the head, there is a kind of lazy beauty.
This is the famous qiongzhi girl in Xihua building.
To be fair, speaking of her facial features, qiongzhi is not amazing. She has many flaws, and even Jiang yu'e is inferior. However, the ignorant amorous feelings engraved in the bones are unforgettable.
Qiongzhi saw Jiang Li and looked at her carefully. A moment later, she smiled and asked, "do you want a cup of tea, girl?"
I don't know the purpose of Jiang Li, but I'm still calm and unhurried. It can be seen that she is a courageous woman.
Jiang Li smiled and said, "no, I'm looking for miss qiongzhi. I have something to ask."
"But I don't know you." Qiongzhi smiled and said, "or do I know your sweetheart?" Her tail is provocative, and her smile is also provocative.
"That's not true," Jiang Li sat down in the chair and smiled calmly in the face of qiongzhi's provocation. "Maybe I know your sweetheart."
Qiongzhi covered her mouth: "what are you talking about..."
"Xue Zhao." Jiang Li spit out two words.
Qiongzhi's smile stopped.
The charming beauty finally stopped the amorous feelings that she showed at the beginning, and stared at Jiang Li's eyes carefully. Although she hid it well, there was still a trace of panic. It makes her look serious.
"Who are you?" After a long time, qiongzhi asked.
"I'm Xue Zhao's old friend." Jiang Li droops her eyes.
"How do you know that I know Xue Zhao?" Asked qiongzhi.
"Xue Zhao mentioned you to me." Jiang Li said, "I wrote it down."
"Mentioned me..." Qiong Zhi's expression was a little trance.
Jiang Li stared at the woman in front of her. Qiongzhi still had a trace of affection for Xue Zhao.
In those days, Xue Zhao bet with his classmates and went to Xihua building to drink flower wine with Xue Huaiyuan on his back. Although he drank flower wine, Xue Zhao was not used to this occasion. He had planned to sneak out on this excuse, but on the way out, he met qiongzhi and was pushed and pushed by rough patrons, as if he had been bullied.
Xue Zhao is a courageous man. He immediately stopped and asked what happened? Qiong Zhi immediately cried to Xue Zhao, but it was a story of a good family woman being forced to go astray. Xue Zhaobao beat the benefactor and asked qiongzhi how she could redeem herself. Qiongzhi spit out a huge number, which made Xue Zhao helpless.
Xue Zhao had no money, so he told qiongzhi that as long as qiongzhi wanted, he could take qiongzhi out of Xihua building. But later I learned that it was qiongzhi who took Xue Zhao as a Feller to get rid of the patron. Qiongzhi never thought of leaving Xihua building. The poor story of forcing a good man into prostitution is just a lie made up by chance.
Originally, Xue Zhao also worked hard to design how to help qiongzhi get away, and even asked Jiang Li to help him find a way together. Later, when qiongzhi saw that Xue Zhao really wanted to take her away, she felt incredible and funny, and then came to the truth. Xue Zhao felt cheated and left angrily, vowing never to believe the lies of the brothel woman again.
Young and vigorous Xue Zhao was played with by the woman. Jiang Li couldn't see it, so he went to Xihua building to meet qiongzhi. Knowing that Xue Fangfei was Xue Zhao's sister, qiongzhi unexpectedly showed rare prudence, but in her words, she was very concerned about Xue Zhao and asked Xue Fangfei to apologize to Xue Zhao on her behalf. Xue Fangfei saw that qiongzhi might have fallen in love with Xue Zhao, but Xue Zhao and qiongzhi were not strangers, so they didn't tell Xue Zhao about it.
Since then, I have no contact with qiongzhi.
"I didn't expect Xue Zhaohe to mention me," Qiong Zhi said with a smile. "After all, I'm a brothel woman. He's so righteous that he's not afraid to pollute his reputation, but he has a good relationship with you when he talks about these things with you."
If there is no temptation in his words, he probably thinks that the relationship between Jiang Li and Xue Zhao is not general. Jiang Li smiled, "Xue Zhao's sister and I are good friends. In fact, Xue Zhao didn't tell me these things, but Xue Zhao's sister told me."
The meaning of the words is obvious. She and Xue Zhao are innocent, but she is very close to Xue Fangfei.
In this way, qiongzhi's eyes became much softer. Qiongzhi said with a smile, "I see."
"I also came here with a tentative heart, thinking that maybe you are not in Xihua building, but you are still there." Jiang Li Dao.
"Where can I go if I'm not in Xihua building?" Qiongzhi also laughed.
Jiang Li was silent for a moment and asked, "Xue Zhao wanted to take you away from Xihua building. Why didn't you promise him?"
Qiongzhi glanced at Jiang Li with unclear meaning, Slowly: "This girl, I'm different from you. At first glance, you're a well-off young lady, who doesn't eat human suffering. Since my parents died when I was young, I was sold to Xihua building, learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and flattered benefactors. This is my ability to make a living. I don't think it's shameful. Compared with those women who were sold to a rich family as slaves and maidservants, maybe one day they will be used by the master, mixed into a concubine, and gingerly accepted by my mistress for a living, I have I'm very satisfied. At least be a flower girl here, and don't be wary of the poison of the main room. "
"You look at me as if I have no dignity, but if I was born in a well-off family, I can naturally hold my head high. Only people with silver can talk about dignity, and people without silver should not talk about dignity." She laughed and said, "Xue Zhao is very good. Although he doesn't seem to be the childe of a big family, he was born with justice, but his justice sometimes seems too naive."
Qiongzhi suddenly remembered something, smiled and said, "that day he was going to come and take me away. I asked him what to do in the future if he followed him to leave Xihua building. As a result, he looked at me in surprise and asked, 'of course, you are going to find a decent business and live a good life in the future.'" qiongzhi spread his hands, "You see, he never thought of taking me with him. The man beside him redeemed himself for the girl, but he didn't let her go out and make a living by herself."
"Xue Zhao doesn't like me. He just did this kind of thing because of justice. I can't take it as pity, or as his special feelings for me. A person who has no feelings for me, I can't follow him. Why should I leave Xihua building? At least in Xihua building, I don't lack money, and I don't lack a man holding me."
Qiongzhi sighed, her eyes showing some disappointment, and said like a memory, "maybe it's his naive justice that moved me. I've seen many men in Xihua building. Everyone has their own ideas, everyone is selfish, and there are really a few people like him. I think in this life, I don't know if I can meet such people, who have no intention, and simply want to help me... Unfortunately," she laughed at herself, "He never came again, and I haven't seen him."
Jiang Li listened to qiongzhi's words. She didn't agree with qiongzhi's words in some places, but she had to admire qiongzhi for seeing things clearly. Xue Zhao really didn't like qiongzhi. Qiongzhi knew this well, so she didn't bother. Xue Zhao is indeed just and innocent. Otherwise, he would not have been framed by Princess Yongning and his death was unclear.
Repressing the surging emotions in her heart, Jiang Li said, "miss qiongzhi, it's not that Xue Zhao doesn't want to come, it's that he can't come."
"Oh?" Qiongzhi smiled, "why can't he come? Is it because he got married?"
"He's dead." Jiang Li Dao.
Qiongzhi was stunned. It seemed that it took a long time to understand what Jiang Li meant when she said three words. She exclaimed, "impossible!"
"He really died, died in Yanjing City, was robbed and killed by robbers, and dumped his body in the river."
Qiongzhi suddenly covered her mouth. Jiang Li clearly saw that qiongzhi's eyes were a little tearful. She shook her head and muttered, "how can it be..."
"You only know Xue Zhao's name, but you don't know Xue Zhao's identity. Xue Zhao is the son of Xue Huaiyuan, the Prime Minister of Tongxiang County, and her sister Xue Fangfei married to Yanjing. A year ago, Xue Fangfei had a miscarriage in Yanjing. Xue Zhao went to Yanjing to visit her and was robbed and killed by robbers. Later, Xue Fangfei died, and Xue Huaiyuan also died." Jiang Li said extraordinarily calm. She looked at qiongzhi, "don't you think it's strange that all three members of the Xue family died in just one year?"
Qiongzhi asked, "what do you mean?"
"Because of my relationship with Xue Fangfei, I'm trying to find out about it, but I can definitely tell you that Xue Zhao died of another cause, although it's not clear yet. I came to Xiangyang to realize Xue Fangfei's last wish, miss qiongzhi," Jiang Li looked at her, "I know you are a capable person. Xiangyang's rich people come to xihualou every day. It's easy for you to inquire about Xiangyang."
"What do you want me to inquire for you?" Qiongzhi asked immediately.
"The Xue family in Tongxiang," said Jiang Li, "in fact, I can be sure of the deaths of Xue Zhao and Xue Fangfei, because I saw them with my own eyes... But Xue Huaiyuan is in Tongxiang, and I don't know. I want you to help me find out what happened to Xue Huaiyuan in Tongxiang half a year ago, who took care of the aftermath, and where he was buried?"
"Why should I trust you?" Asked qiongzhi.
Although qiongzhi was sad when she suddenly learned of Xue Zhao's death, she didn't lose her mind at this time.
"Xue Zhao is a man of love and righteousness. I think the people he makes friends with are not unreasonable. I'm here for the Xue family, and I hope you can help me." Jiang Li said, "I don't have any chips to deal with you, because you don't lack anything, so I beg you."
Qiongzhi stared at Jiang Li dully. Jiang Li's attitude was very sincere, almost to the point of humbleness, and her eyes were sincere and firm, not like lying.
"Xue Zhao is not famous in Yanjing City, but Xue Fangfei's name is unknown in Yanjing city." Jiang Li said, "people who came to Xihua building may have been to Yanjing. If you inquire about it, you can know the recent situation of Xue Fangfei and whether I have lied."
Jiang Lisi thought about going, and felt that it was most suitable for qiongzhi to inquire about Tongxiang. First of all, qiongzhi is indeed the most popular flower girl in Xihua building. The patrons are either rich or expensive. Everyone has them. It's easy to inquire about a few things, and you can dig out the inside story that others don't know.
Second, qiongzhi is a person who is not under any threat. From her words that it's good to be a brothel girl, we can see that she doesn't lack money, is not afraid of death, doesn't want to climb up with dignitaries, and has no relatives. It's that someone notices that he is looking for qiongzhi and wants to pry the news from qiongzhi's mouth. There is nothing he can do, and qiongzhi won't let the other party succeed.
Finally, of course, it's because few people should think that Jiang Li, the first daughter, will have contact with qiongzhi, a flower girl, hidden in the dark, and always be safe.
Qiongzhi gritted her teeth and struggled for a long time, saying, "I can promise you, but you want me to see that Xue Zhao is really dead."
"Xue Zhao's grave is in Yanjing," Jiang Li whispered, "but don't worry, one day, their sister and brother will return to their hometown, and I will reunite them." She said, "at that time, miss qiongzhi can visit her old friends."
……
When Jiang Li came out of the house, tong'er and Bai Xue couldn't help it. For fear that Jiang Li had been poisoned by the "qiongzhi girl" in it, she was relieved to see Jiang Li come out unharmed. Tong'er also wanted to see inside, only to see a figure in a blue skirt sitting in front of the dressing table, shoulders slightly stirred, as if sobbing.
Tong'er was surprised, thinking what was going on? Why is this girl qiongzhi still crying? Can't it be Jiang Li's bully? Jiang Li, a little girl, why should she bully people and cry?
Jiang Li said, "don't look, let's go."
Tong'er quickly put away her thoughts and hurriedly caught up with Bai Xue in Jiang Li's footsteps.
Jiang Li's footsteps are not light, but they are not heavier than when they came here.
Let qiongzhi help, in fact, at first she was not sure. However, it was because of the side that she met qiongzhi when she was Xue Fangfei that she vaguely felt that qiongzhi was in love with Xue Zhao. But that bit of friendship has really passed for a long time, and I don't know how much it still exists.
Everyone says that bitches are ruthless and playmates are unjust, and the women in the happy scene must not be sincere, but Jiang Li believes that the women in the fireworks land are often more absolute than ordinary people when they are in love. In the end, she won the game. Qiongzhi still has an old love for Xue Zhao. Xue Zhao's death touched qiongzhi. Qiongzhi was willing to help, which was the best thing.
As long as she learned the news of Tongxiang and the situation of Xue Huaiyuan, her trip was not in vain. Knowing what the situation is, it will be easier to make countermeasures. What excuse can you think of to return to Tongxiang during this Xiangyang trip, it will be solved easily.
The three of them walked out of the road from time to time. Tong'er originally wanted to find someone to lead the way, but he didn't hesitate to see Jiang Li, who seemed to know the road. He was familiar with it, so he gave up, thinking that his girl recognized the road as a good hand and knew it once.
When I walked to the back door, I didn't see the woman who greeted the guests at first, but I met a man unexpectedly. Because the people who came to the back door were all women looking for their husband, and the men came in from the front door, Jiang Li couldn't help looking at the man more.
He is a middle-aged man with a strong body. He wears slightly strange clothes, unlike Xiangyang's service, like a strong suit with armor. It's strange to say so. This man has a finger long scar on his left face, which is slightly banditic and out of tune with other people in Xiangyang.
The man probably didn't expect a little girl to suddenly come out of it, and at a glance, he knew it wasn't the girl in the flower house, and he couldn't help looking at Jiang Li more.
Between the two people looking at each other, they only felt a strange feeling, as if they were familiar, but Jiang Li clearly had not seen this man. After a little thought, people had passed her and walked in.
Jiang Li stopped and looked back. The man had gone upstairs and disappeared. Maybe he was a benefactor who came to have fun.
"But what's wrong with the girl?" Snow White asked Jiang Li when she looked back at the man.
"Nothing." Jiang Li thought about it and couldn't figure out where this person had met, but this strange feeling was not annoying. Standing here was inevitable to attract attention, and she said, "let's go."
With two servant girls, he walked out of Xihua building without returning.
……
As soon as Jiang Li's front foot came out of the Xihua building, Wenji at the back foot reported the matter to Ji Heng in the pavilion.
"Miss Jiang Er entered Xihua building and met qiongzhi, the flower girl who is popular in Xihua building." Wen Jidao.
"Qiong Zhi..." Lu Ji mused, "she went to find Qiong Zhi specially?"
"It should be that qiongzhi is the number one in Xihua building. There are dark guards in front of the house, and the people sent out can't detect what they said. However, Miss Jiang Er stayed in qiongzhi's room for a while before she came out. It's not a short stay. After she left, qiongzhi seemed very excited. She stayed in the room alone and closed the door today."
Ji Xuan raised her eyebrows: "so."
"Adults, it's better to let someone go to find this qiongzhi girl," Lu Ji suggested, "to see what Miss Jiang er said to her."
"That's impossible." Ji Xuan smiled faintly.
"Why?"
Wen Ji actively explained: "This girl qiongzhi is a tough character, soft and hard. She was taught by the mother of xihualou when she was young, and she was obsessed with her bones. Many patrons wanted to redeem her. Even the childe of a rich family wanted to marry her as a wife, but qiongzhi refused. Other flower girls sold themselves to raise money for Congliang, qiongzhi is not short of silver, and she doesn't want to be Congliang, and her position as a housewife can't be moved."
Lu Ji was stunned. Qiongzhi turned out to be such a hard bone, which he didn't expect.
"And qiongzhi has contacts with many dignitaries in Xiangyang. These people are willing to protect her, just like the amazing fairy in Yanjing city in the past, so it's not easy to be tough. Besides - with qiongzhi's character, even if you are tough, you may not succeed."
Ji Xuan lazily closed the fan and said, "see, Miss Jiang came prepared and specially found a dagger without a scabbard."
"In this case, Miss Jiang er's scheming is far deeper than we estimated." Lu Ji murmured.
Jiang Li chose qiongzhi. No matter what they did, qiongzhi was a stone that couldn't be pried open. Jiang Li found the safest qiongzhi at the beginning to prevent someone from trying to pry open each other's mouth.
She thought of all the possibilities and retreats, but it was helpless.
"Send someone to stare at qiongzhi." Ji Heng smiled and said, "look what she's going to do next."
Wenji takes orders.
Lu Ji looked at Ji Heng again. "Speaking of it, the person arranged by the Li family has also arrived. This time, the boy of the Youxiang family decided to deal with the Ye family. Ye Shijie didn't follow the way he arranged now. This time, he tripped the Ye family. I don't know if he can do it."
"Why not?" Ji Heng asked rhetorically.
Lu Ji hesitated for a moment, touched his goatee, and then said, "your previous plans were mixed up because of Miss Jiang er. Now Miss Jiang Er is also in Xiangyang, and I always think that Miss Jiang Er is not simple. If Miss Jiang Er finds qiongzhi this time, is it related to this matter? If Miss Jiang Er gets involved in this again, it's not good."
Several times, Jiang Li disrupted Ji Heng's arrangement. But every time, it seemed that she had no intention to do it. Lu Ji felt that Miss Jiang ER was Ji Heng's nemesis in her previous life. In this life, she followed the old path and always made trouble for Ji Heng. Where there are ginger and pear, there is "accident".
"If she has the ability, she'll try to mess it up." Ji Xuan squinted slightly, "I'll wait."
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
The flag of the Lord flew up
Jiang Li and tong'er walked into Xihua building.Bai Xue is simple and honest. Jiang Li does what she is told to do without asking right or wrong. Tong'er felt that it was inappropriate to do so, and suspected that all this was his own dream. Think about it, how can your girl go to the brothel? If you serve a young master, it makes sense.Just walked into the brothel door, a smiling young woman greeted her and said, "girl, is looking for someone?"A very familiar appearance. Speaking of it, the owner of Xihua building has a wonderful idea. The men who entered the door in the past and the women who greeted the guests were all charming and beautiful. The women who greeted the guests at the back door looked very "good family" in their formal clothes.This is natural. The man from Qianmen comes to have fun. Of course, he should try his best to seduce. The people who greet guests at the back door only welcome the women who come to catch the rape. If they dress up too seductively, they will make the original wife angry.Tong'er stared wide. Seeing that this woman was not as dissolute as a brothel woman, she couldn't help wondering in her heart. She thought that Jiang Lifang had deliberately deceived her by saying that this place was a brothel. This was just a serious restaurant.While tong'er was looking at the women, the woman was also looking at them. At a glance, she saw that Jiang Li was the master, but she didn't understand that Jiang Li seemed to be an unmarried girl. Why did the girl come to look for someone today? Is it your fiance?However, this kind of thing has become commonplace for people who cherish Hualou.Jiang Li said with a smile, "I want to find Miss qiongzhi."The welcoming woman slightly changed her face, paused, politely showed a smile, and said, "girl, we cherish the flower building, and the flower girl doesn't see female guests."When she saw Jiang Li naming names to find qiongzhi, she thought Jiang Li was due to the trouble of her fiance coming to find qiongzhi, so she naturally wanted to block her.Jiang Li smiled, took out a silver ticket from her sleeve and let Bai Xue stuff it into the palm of the woman's hand. She said, "don't worry, I'm not looking for trouble. I'm asking miss qiongzhi about something. It won't cause you trouble, but I'd better be convenient, girl, OK?"The woman looked at the number on the silver ticket in her hand and couldn't help jumping in her heart. It was the woman welcoming the guests at the front door. Many of the men who came to play were not as generous as the young lady. Look at Jiang Li Mei's clear eyes. Her words are mild. Most importantly, there is no contempt in her eyes. The last sentence, with the meaning of inquiry, clearly respects her.The woman felt a little sad. There was no dignity in doing this business. She received those women who came to "trouble" at the back door. Women hated them very much. Even if they were already dressed up as "good families", they could not erase the disgust of those women. They often said ugly words, and they had no idea what dignity was.At this moment, the pampered young lady seemed to treat her and ordinary people as if she could not say no. she meant to refuse. For the sake of Jiang Li's generous hand, it immediately disappeared.She laughed and said, "please wait a moment, girl. I'll go and see if qiongzhi has any guests now. If so...""No problem," Jiang Li smiled, "if there is, I'll wait for her here. When she is free, I'll go in again."The woman was stunned, thinking that the young lady was very unusual. Without delay, she poured a cup of tea for Jiang Li and went inside to ask someone.After the woman left, tong'er asked, "girl, who is this qiongzhi girl? She won't be... Yes..." tong'er couldn't say the word "prostitute" anyway. Jiang Li is the first daughter. Standing with prostitutes, others know that the root of her tongue doesn't know how much to chew.Jiang Li said, "she is."Tong'er: "ah!"Although surprised and puzzled, tong'er didn't dare to continue to ask, and she rarely became serious when she saw Jiang Li. Sometimes tong'er thinks that her girl has changed since she left Qingcheng Mountain. Many times, tong'er doesn't know what her young lady is thinking, and what she does has no intention of explaining.Well, who calls her a miss of her own? In this life, she has to admit all the difficulties.Not long ago, the woman who took Jiang Li's silver came back. She smiled and said to Jiang Li, "girl, miss qiongzhi has no guests now. Do you want to go now?"Jiang Li smiled, "OK."The welcoming woman took Jiang Li and they took about a different route from the patrons. They didn't see any unpleasant pictures along the way, which made Tong Er greatly relieved.Bypassing several corridors and going up several floors, the woman stopped and said with a smile, "this is miss qiongzhi's room."She stopped in front of the house.Jiang Li paused and said, "OK."After the woman left, Jiang Li said, "tong'er, Bai Xue, wait for me outside the door.""Girl..." tong'er was surprised. Jiang Li didn't intend to take them in. She didn't feel sad. Jiang Li didn't trust her and didn't tell her the secret. Instead, she was worried that Jiang Li wouldn't really plan to turn the Phoenix upside down with some girl qiongzhi. Is her girl good at grinding the mirror? Tong'er is creepy.Jiang Li didn't know what tong'er was thinking. She just opened the door and went in. She turned back and closed the door.In front of the dressing table, there was a slim and graceful figure. The water blue yarn skirt was about to fall to the waist, revealing a large amount of snow-white skin. The back was very beautiful, and the woman's shadow was wonderful."Miss qiongzhi." Jiang Li whispered.His back turned slowly.The woman's small face with a palm size, thin eyebrows and long eyes looks sharp and charming. It happened that she had a slightly rich chin, which made her look sincere and naive, adding a special flavor to her style. She should also know that this mouth was born well. She sipped it with gorgeous lipstick and became more and more charming. About just removed the bun, long hair fluffy and messy, messy draped behind the head, there is a kind of lazy beauty.This is the famous qiongzhi girl in Xihua building.To be fair, speaking of her facial features, qiongzhi is not amazing. She has many flaws, and even Jiang yu'e is inferior. However, the ignorant amorous feelings engraved in the bones are unforgettable.Qiongzhi saw Jiang Li and looked at her carefully. A moment later, she smiled and asked, "do you want a cup of tea, girl?"I don't know the purpose of Jiang Li, but I'm still calm and unhurried. It can be seen that she is a courageous woman.Jiang Li smiled and said, "no, I'm looking for miss qiongzhi. I have something to ask.""But I don't know you." Qiongzhi smiled and said, "or do I know your sweetheart?" Her tail is provocative, and her smile is also provocative."That's not true," Jiang Li sat down in the chair and smiled calmly in the face of qiongzhi's provocation. "Maybe I know your sweetheart."Qiongzhi covered her mouth: "what are you talking about...""Xue Zhao." Jiang Li spit out two words.Qiongzhi's smile stopped.The charming beauty finally stopped the amorous feelings that she showed at the beginning, and stared at Jiang Li's eyes carefully. Although she hid it well, there was still a trace of panic. It makes her look serious."Who are you?" After a long time, qiongzhi asked."I'm Xue Zhao's old friend." Jiang Li droops her eyes."How do you know that I know Xue Zhao?" Asked qiongzhi."Xue Zhao mentioned you to me." Jiang Li said, "I wrote it down.""Mentioned me..." Qiong Zhi's expression was a little trance.Jiang Li stared at the woman in front of her. Qiongzhi still had a trace of affection for Xue Zhao.In those days, Xue Zhao bet with his classmates and went to Xihua building to drink flower wine with Xue Huaiyuan on his back. Although he drank flower wine, Xue Zhao was not used to this occasion. He had planned to sneak out on this excuse, but on the way out, he met qiongzhi and was pushed and pushed by rough patrons, as if he had been bullied.Xue Zhao is a courageous man. He immediately stopped and asked what happened? Qiong Zhi immediately cried to Xue Zhao, but it was a story of a good family woman being forced to go astray. Xue Zhaobao beat the benefactor and asked qiongzhi how she could redeem herself. Qiongzhi spit out a huge number, which made Xue Zhao helpless.Xue Zhao had no money, so he told qiongzhi that as long as qiongzhi wanted, he could take qiongzhi out of Xihua building. But later I learned that it was qiongzhi who took Xue Zhao as a Feller to get rid of the patron. Qiongzhi never thought of leaving Xihua building. The poor story of forcing a good man into prostitution is just a lie made up by chance.Originally, Xue Zhao also worked hard to design how to help qiongzhi get away, and even asked Jiang Li to help him find a way together. Later, when qiongzhi saw that Xue Zhao really wanted to take her away, she felt incredible and funny, and then came to the truth.

Jiang Li couldn't see it, so he went to Xihua building to meet qiongzhi. Knowing that Xue Fangfei was Xue Zhao's sister, qiongzhi unexpectedly showed rare prudence, but in her words, she was very concerned about Xue Zhao and asked Xue Fangfei to apologize to Xue Zhao on her behalf. Xue Fangfei saw that qiongzhi might have fallen in love with Xue Zhao, but Xue Zhao and qiongzhi were not strangers, so they didn't tell Xue Zhao about it.Since then, I have no contact with qiongzhi."I didn't expect Xue Zhaohe to mention me," Qiong Zhi said with a smile. "After all, I'm a brothel woman. He's so righteous that he's not afraid to pollute his reputation, but he has a good relationship with you when he talks about these things with you."If there is no temptation in his words, he probably thinks that the relationship between Jiang Li and Xue Zhao is not general. Jiang Li smiled, "Xue Zhao's sister and I are good friends. In fact, Xue Zhao didn't tell me these things, but Xue Zhao's sister told me."The meaning of the words is obvious. She and Xue Zhao are innocent, but she is very close to Xue Fangfei.In this way, qiongzhi's eyes became much softer. Qiongzhi said with a smile, "I see.""I also came here with a tentative heart, thinking that maybe you are not in Xihua building, but you are still there." Jiang Li Dao."Where can I go if I'm not in Xihua building?" Qiongzhi also laughed.Jiang Li was silent for a moment and asked, "Xue Zhao wanted to take you away from Xihua building. Why didn't you promise him?"Qiongzhi glanced at Jiang Li with unclear meaning, Slowly: "This girl, I'm different from you. At first glance, you're a well-off young lady, who doesn't eat human suffering. Since my parents died when I was young, I was sold to Xihua building, learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and flattered benefactors. This is my ability to make a living. I don't think it's shameful. Compared with those women who were sold to a rich family as slaves and maidservants, maybe one day they will be used by the master, mixed into a concubine, and gingerly accepted by my mistress for a living, I have I'm very satisfied. At least be a flower girl here, and don't be wary of the poison of the main room. ""You look at me as if I have no dignity, but if I was born in a well-off family, I can naturally hold my head high.

I asked him what to do in the future if he followed him to leave Xihua building. As a result, he looked at me in surprise and asked, 'of course, you are going to find a decent business and live a good life in the future.'" qiongzhi spread his hands, "You see, he never thought of taking me with him. The man beside him redeemed himself for the girl, but he didn't let her go out and make a living by herself.""Xue Zhao doesn't like me. He just did this kind of thing because of justice. I can't take it as pity, or as his special feelings for me. A person who has no feelings for me, I can't follow him. Why should I leave Xihua building? At least in Xihua building, I don't lack money, and I don't lack a man holding me."Qiongzhi sighed, her eyes showing some disappointment, and said like a memory, "maybe it's his naive justice that moved me. I've seen many men in Xihua building. Everyone has their own ideas, everyone is selfish, and there are really a few people like him. I think in this life, I don't know if I can meet such people, who have no intention, and simply want to help me... Unfortunately," she laughed at herself, "He never came again, and I haven't seen him."Jiang Li listened to qiongzhi's words. She didn't agree with qiongzhi's words in some places, but she had to admire qiongzhi for seeing things clearly. Xue Zhao really didn't like qiongzhi. Qiongzhi knew this well, so she didn't bother. Xue Zhao is indeed just and innocent. Otherwise, he would not have been framed by Princess Yongning and his death was unclear.Repressing the surging emotions in her heart, Jiang Li said, "miss qiongzhi, it's not that Xue Zhao doesn't want to come, it's that he can't come.""Oh?" Qiongzhi smiled, "why can't he come? Is it because he got married?""He's dead." Jiang Li Dao.Qiongzhi was stunned. It seemed that it took a long time to understand what Jiang Li meant when she said three words. She exclaimed, "impossible!""He really died, died in Yanjing City, was robbed and killed by robbers, and dumped his body in the river."Qiongzhi suddenly covered her mouth. Jiang Li clearly saw that qiongzhi's eyes were a little tearful. She shook her head and muttered, "how can it be...""You only know Xue Zhao's name, but you don't know Xue Zhao's identity. Xue Zhao is the son of Xue Huaiyuan, the Prime Minister of Tongxiang County, and her sister Xue Fangfei married to Yanjing. A year ago, Xue Fangfei had a miscarriage in Yanjing. Xue Zhao went to Yanjing to visit her and was robbed and killed by robbers. Later, Xue Fangfei died, and Xue Huaiyuan also died." Jiang Li said extraordinarily calm. She looked at qiongzhi, "don't you think it's strange that all three members of the Xue family died in just one year?"Qiongzhi asked, "what do you mean?""Because of my relationship with Xue Fangfei, I'm trying to find out about it, but I can definitely tell you that Xue Zhao died of another cause, although it's not clear yet. I came to Xiangyang to realize Xue Fangfei's last wish, miss qiongzhi," Jiang Li looked at her, "I know you are a capable person. Xiangyang's rich people come to xihualou every day. It's easy for you to inquire about Xiangyang.""What do you want me to inquire for you?" Qiongzhi asked immediately."The Xue family in Tongxiang," said Jiang Li, "in fact, I can be sure of the deaths of Xue Zhao and Xue Fangfei, because I saw them with my own eyes... But Xue Huaiyuan is in Tongxiang, and I don't know. I want you to help me find out what happened to Xue Huaiyuan in Tongxiang half a year ago, who took care of the aftermath, and where he was buried?""Why should I trust you?" Asked qiongzhi.Although qiongzhi was sad when she suddenly learned of Xue Zhao's death, she didn't lose her mind at this time."Xue Zhao is a man of love and righteousness. I think the people he makes friends with are not unreasonable. I'm here for the Xue family, and I hope you can help me." Jiang Li said, "I don't have any chips to deal with you, because you don't lack anything, so I beg you."Qiongzhi stared at Jiang Li dully. Jiang Li's attitude was very sincere, almost to the point of humbleness, and her eyes were sincere and firm, not like lying."Xue Zhao is not famous in Yanjing City, but Xue Fangfei's name is unknown in Yanjing city." Jiang Li said, "people who came to Xihua building may have been to Yanjing. If you inquire about it, you can know the recent situation of Xue Fangfei and whether I have lied."Jiang Lisi thought about going, and felt that it was most suitable for qiongzhi to inquire about Tongxiang. First of all, qiongzhi is indeed the most popular flower girl in Xihua building. The patrons are either rich or expensive. Everyone has them. It's easy to inquire about a few things, and you can dig out the inside story that others don't know.Second, qiongzhi is a person who is not under any threat. From her words that it's good to be a brothel girl, we can see that she doesn't lack money, is not afraid of death, doesn't want to climb up with dignitaries, and has no relatives. It's that someone notices that he is looking for qiongzhi and wants to pry the news from qiongzhi's mouth. There is nothing he can do, and qiongzhi won't let the other party succeed.Finally, of course, it's because few people should think that Jiang Li, the first daughter, will have contact with qiongzhi, a flower girl, hidden in the dark, and always be safe.Qiongzhi gritted her teeth and struggled for a long time, saying, "I can promise you, but you want me to see that Xue Zhao is really dead.""Xue Zhao's grave is in Yanjing," Jiang Li whispered, "but don't worry, one day, their sister and brother will return to their hometown, and I will reunite them." She said, "at that time, miss qiongzhi can visit her old friends."When Jiang Li came out of the house, tong'er and Bai Xue couldn't help it. For fear that Jiang Li had been poisoned by the "qiongzhi girl" in it, she was relieved to see Jiang Li come out unharmed. Tong'er also wanted to see inside, only to see a figure in a blue skirt sitting in front of the dressing table, shoulders slightly stirred, as if sobbing.Tong'er was surprised, thinking what was going on? Why is this girl qiongzhi still crying? Can't it be Jiang Li's bully? Jiang Li, a little girl, why should she bully people and cry?Jiang Li said, "don't look, let's go."Tong'er quickly put away her thoughts and hurriedly caught up with Bai Xue in Jiang Li's footsteps.Jiang Li's footsteps are not light, but they are not heavier than when they came here.Let qiongzhi help, in fact, at first she was not sure. However, it was because of the side that she met qiongzhi when she was Xue Fangfei that she vaguely felt that qiongzhi was in love with Xue Zhao. But that bit of friendship has really passed for a long time, and I don't know how much it still exists.Everyone says that bitches are ruthless and playmates are unjust, and the women in the happy scene must not be sincere, but Jiang Li believes that the women in the fireworks land are often more absolute than ordinary people when they are in love. In the end, she won the game. Qiongzhi still has an old love for Xue Zhao. Xue Zhao's death touched qiongzhi. Qiongzhi was willing to help, which was the best thing.As long as she learned the news of Tongxiang and the situation of Xue Huaiyuan, her trip was not in vain. Knowing what the situation is, it will be easier to make countermeasures. What excuse can you think of to return to Tongxiang during this Xiangyang trip, it will be solved easily.The three of them walked out of the road from time to time. Tong'er originally wanted to find someone to lead the way, but he didn't hesitate to see Jiang Li, who seemed to know the road. He was familiar with it, so he gave up, thinking that his girl recognized the road as a good hand and knew it once.When I walked to the back door, I didn't see the woman who greeted the guests at first, but I met a man unexpectedly. Because the people who came to the back door were all women looking for their husband, and the men came in from the front door, Jiang Li couldn't help looking at the man more.He is a middle-aged man with a strong body. He wears slightly strange clothes, unlike Xiangyang's service, like a strong suit with armor. It's strange to say so. This man has a finger long scar on his left face, which is slightly banditic and out of tune with other people in Xiangyang.The man probably didn't expect a little girl to suddenly come out of it, and at a glance, he knew it wasn't the girl in the flower house, and he couldn't help looking at Jiang Li more.Between the two people looking at each other, they only felt a strange feeling, as if they were familiar, but Jiang Li clearly had not seen this man. After a little thought, people had passed her and walked in.Jiang Li stopped and looked back. The man had gone upstairs and disappeared. Maybe he was a benefactor who came to have fun."But what's wrong with the girl?" Snow White asked Jiang Li when she looked back at the man."Nothing." Jiang Li thought about it and couldn't figure out where this person had met, but this strange feeling was not annoying. Standing here was inevitable to attract attention, and she said, "let's go."With two servant girls, he walked out of Xihua building without returning.As soon as Jiang Li's front foot came out of the Xihua building, Wenji at the back foot reported the matter to Ji Heng in the pavilion."Miss Jiang Er entered Xihua building and met qiongzhi, the flower girl who is popular in Xihua building." Wen Jidao."Qiong Zhi..." Lu Ji mused, "she went to find Qiong Zhi specially?""It should be that qiongzhi is the number one in Xihua building. There are dark guards in front of the house, and the people sent out can't detect what they said. However, Miss Jiang Er stayed in qiongzhi's room for a while before she came out. It's not a short stay. After she left, qiongzhi seemed very excited. She stayed in the room alone and closed the door today."Ji Xuan raised her eyebrows: "so.""Adults, it's better to let someone go to find this qiongzhi girl," Lu Ji suggested, "to see what Miss Jiang er said to her.""That's impossible." Ji Xuan smiled faintly."Why?"Wen Ji actively explained: "This girl qiongzhi is a tough character, soft and hard. She was taught by the mother of xihualou when she was young, and she was obsessed with her bones. Many patrons wanted to redeem her. Even the childe of a rich family wanted to marry her as a wife, but qiongzhi refused. Other flower girls sold themselves to raise money for Congliang, qiongzhi is not short of silver, and she doesn't want to be Congliang, and her position as a housewife can't be moved."Lu Ji was stunned. Qiongzhi turned out to be such a hard bone, which he didn't expect."And qiongzhi has contacts with many dignitaries in Xiangyang. These people are willing to protect her, just like the amazing fairy in Yanjing city in the past, so it's not easy to be tough. Besides - with qiongzhi's character, even if you are tough, you may not succeed."Ji Xuan lazily closed the fan and said, "see, Miss Jiang came prepared and specially found a dagger without a scabbard.""In this case, Miss Jiang er's scheming is far deeper than we estimated." Lu Ji murmured.Jiang Li chose qiongzhi. No matter what they did, qiongzhi was a stone that couldn't be pried open. Jiang Li found the safest qiongzhi at the beginning to prevent someone from trying to pry open each other's mouth.She thought of all the possibilities and retreats, but it was helpless."Send someone to stare at qiongzhi." Ji Heng smiled and said, "look what she's going to do next."Wenji takes orders.Lu Ji looked at Ji Heng again. "Speaking of it, the person arranged by the Li family has also arrived. This time, the boy of the Youxiang family decided to deal with the Ye family. Ye Shijie didn't follow the way he arranged now. This time, he tripped the Ye family. I don't know if he can do it.""Why not?" Ji Heng asked rhetorically.Lu Ji hesitated for a moment, touched his goatee, and then said, "your previous plans were mixed up because of Miss Jiang er. Now Miss Jiang Er is also in Xiangyang, and I always think that Miss Jiang Er is not simple. If Miss Jiang Er finds qiongzhi this time, is it related to this matter? If Miss Jiang Er gets involved in this again, it's not good."Several times, Jiang Li disrupted Ji Heng's arrangement. But every time, it seemed that she had no intention to do it. Lu Ji felt that Miss Jiang ER was Ji Heng's nemesis in her previous life. In this life, she followed the old path and always made trouble for Ji Heng. Where there are ginger and pear, there is "accident"."If she has the ability, she'll try to mess it up." Ji Xuan squinted slightly, "I'll wait."The flag of the Lord flew up
