Chapter 254 Nine-tailed fox sister-in-law

"Go and sit at Tingyulou."

The emperor's woman extended an invitation to Wu Huaiyu, and before he could refuse, she continued, "Hui'an is my sister, my biological sister."

Huaiyu could only pretend to be surprised.

The veiled Gao Huitong chuckled, "Actually, you already knew that, right?"

Huaiyu was a little embarrassed.

"Let's go, let's talk about some personal matters, and there are some official matters to be confessed."

Tingyulou is located in the southern district of Sanqu, Pingkangfang. It’s not Huaiyu’s first time to visit, but this is his first time to Tingyulou. Nanqu is a high-end entertainment area in Sanqu. The stalls here are spacious and flowers are widely planted.

Ben, decorated with strange stone bonsai, the environment is very quiet and comfortable.

It is not inferior to the homes of many distinguished nobles and wealthy families. It is a high-end club that no one can enter.

Most people can only go to Beiqu, where low-level performers live, and the environment is not as good as here.

Gao Huitong is now Tingyulou’s pseudo-mother, the actual manager.

All the dancers in the building changed their surname to Gao Huitong, and they were ranked according to their age and called female brothers and sisters. They were the so-called Xianghuo brothers. Most of these female dancers were official dancers and belonged to the Jiaofang.

When the government has tasks, they have to go. Of course, when there are no tasks, they can also go out of the workshop to participate in official banquets, or receive guests in the building with the approval of the fake mother and the manager of the Jiaofang and the inner square.

These are all fee-based items, and they are paid, and the fees are not low and the pay is very high.

The girls from Tingyulou are all famous in Chang'an City. They are all young, beautiful and versatile, and some of them are even very knowledgeable. They not only speak elegantly, but can also recite poems and compose poems. They are particularly good at communication and are indispensable in banquet activities.

Who among the aristocratic officials and even the scholars in Chang'an wouldn't want to come to these buildings in Zhongqu Nanqu to recite poems and compose poems with the female school clerks, and have a good time drinking and talking?

Generally, those who can come to Tingyulou to spend money are either the descendants of the nobility, those from well-off families who come to the capital to take the exam, or some officials from other places who come to the capital.

In fact, according to the law, officials are not allowed to enter Sanqu prostitutes at will. Of course, in the early days of the country, the law is not strict, so as long as they don't openly wear official robes, it will be fine.

As a rare social gathering place, this place is naturally also a news distribution center.

Gao Huitong brought back a young man in white robes, who attracted all the girls in the building to watch.

"Auntie, whose husband is this?"

"So handsome."

The girls in the building are naturally very bold. Many noble men like to come to Pingkangfang just to find the feeling of falling in love. After all, in this era, whether it is a famous family or a small family, Biyu, it is all in order, even

Blind marriage and mute marriage, even after getting married, it rarely feels like that.

In fact, even in future generations, many people like to go to clubs to find true love. For the same reason, girls can coax and chat.

Gao Huitong is actually only in his early thirties. Although he is the mother of several children, he married young and this is the time when he is most charming.

In Pingkangfang Sanqu, Gao Niangzi's identity is very mysterious. People say that she has a very impressive background. Someone once tried to provoke her, but the next day the head of the scoundrel sent by that person to cause trouble was hung directly on the opponent's head.

From then on, no one dared to mess with me at my doorstep.

"Go about your business." Gao Huitong cursed, and everyone dispersed with a smile.

Gao Huitong directly led Huaiyu upstairs.

"What kind of tea will Erlang drink?"

"Anything is fine."

While Gao Huitong was roasting tea, grinding and boiling water, he was sizing up Wu Huaiyu, and Wu Huaiyu was also sizing up his sister-in-law.

"Is An Niang okay?"

"I had a severe reaction when I was pregnant. I couldn't smell greasy, I vomited violently, and I lost a lot of weight."

"This is quite painful, but women have to go through this all the time. She is lucky to meet you."

Huaiyu asked her, "Why did you keep hiding it from her before?"

"For the sake of secrecy, I had actually made arrangements to arrange for her to leave the palace and find a suitable person to marry then. However, Supervisor Zhang arranged for her to be a concubine in your house. It was a mistake."

Huaiyu looked around and found that the environment here was indeed quite good.

"Will the eldest lady never return to the palace again?"

"The swordsman Gao Huitong died in early summer last year, and now I am Tingyulou's fake mother Gao Auntie,"

Huaiyu was a little surprised that Li Shimin would let his woman stay alone outside the palace.

"Can you still see your daughter in the palace?"

"I can come to the palace to see you occasionally."

The two of them chatted without a word, the water on the charcoal stove was boiling, Gao Huitong poured the tea in, her movements were gentle, she seemed to be enjoying the life in front of her.

"Where are your other children?"

"Placed in a manor in the suburbs, there are people taking care of them. I will occasionally go and stay with them for a few days."

She smiled lightly at Huaiyu and said, "You won't blame An Niang, right?"

"It's understandable. You are her biological sister, and your biological sister came to visit you. Besides, you still have the emperor's orders. What can she do?"

After the tea was brewed, Gao Huitong poured a cup for Wu Huaiyu, "Actually, none of us can't help it."

She was a little dazed, as if she remembered the past. When she was young, her father was a county magistrate. Although he was a low-ranking official, the family lived a peaceful and happy life. Later, chaos broke out, and her father lost his official position, and was forced to rebel.

People can no longer be peaceful.

Later, she married a man she didn't know. Fortunately, this man was very good to her. During the turbulent years, they had children, but this life did not last long.

After her father died, her husband also died, and a weak woman took her children as captives, at the mercy of others, and finally entered the palace.

Step by step, she has now become a fake mother in Tingyulou who has lost her real name, and a nine-tailed fox who is a member of the Six-door family.

Every step she took was not counted, nor was it what she wanted to choose, but in the end she came through step by step.

"The tea is very good." Huaiyu called her back.

Gao Huitong smiled casually.

"I was distracted. It can be seen that Erlang has already known about the existence of the six doors and is unwilling to join."

"It's too troublesome."

"You think it's not glorious enough for us to walk in the darkness, right?"

"Indeed." Huaiyu didn't hide it either.

"As I said, if you have a choice, who would want to walk in the darkness, but the world is not black and white, there are also grays, there have to be people walking in the darkness."

"Why me?" Huaiyu asked.

"Because you are young and capable, the most important thing is that His Majesty appreciates you," Gao Huitong said with a chuckle, "Don't dislike this job. This job is done well, but Jane is in the heart of the emperor, and His Majesty will not treat you badly. You see

Isn't Zhang Liang one of the forty-eight heroes?

In the future, I might even be able to be granted the title of Duke and Prime Minister."

"To be honest, I have no interest."

Gao Huitong walked to the dressing table on the side and began to remove her makeup. She did not treat Huaiyu as an outsider at all. She took off her veil, removed her outer cloak, and then changed her hairstyle.

"It's hot in the room, Erlang, please take off your fur coat."

"Would you like a change of shoes?"

"No need." Huaiyu quickly waved his hand. You can't mess around in the aunt's room, especially since she is the emperor's woman.

"Many things in this world are so strange. Money always flows to those who are not short of money, and land is also in the hands of those big landowners who are not short of land.

Those who are busy and struggling for food and clothing every day have an extremely hard time earning every penny. They work hard to make money, but in the end they don’t have enough food and clothing. They work hard to cultivate the land, but in the end all the land goes to the landlords.

For example, the thirty-two acres of vegetable land in Qinglongfang were originally in the hands of many ordinary people, but in the end, all the left and right pieces were gathered into the hands of Hongnong Yang's Guan Wangfang. This land is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

As soon as it changed hands, it was in your hands again, Wu Erlang, without spending a penny."

Gao Huitong looked in the mirror and felt dissatisfied with his new hairstyle, so he simply dismissed it and let his black hair hang down like a waterfall.

"Wuwei Bo'an Yuanshou's family background is much better than yours. He is two years younger than you. His father is the Duke and his uncle is the Duke. The family is the most wealthy family in Liangzhou. The Sogdian business group Sabao has been passed down from generation to generation.

But he did not refuse the emperor's arrangement. He had already joined six months ago.

Why are you so coy?"

Huaiyu sighed, he really didn't want to do this work.

This made him always feel that the six doors were the East Factory and the Jinyi Guards. The factory guards in the Ming Dynasty were not good at all.

"Erlang goes to Shuofang. If you need anything, just ask."

Wu Huaiyu thought for a moment and said, "Do you have any spies or spies over there? If so, give me the best."

"It's okay if it's inconvenient. I'll do it myself when the time comes."
