Chapter 24 To repay your kindness

The extravagant music is sultry; the dance in Beili is graceful and slender.

The kabuki dancers left the stage one after another, and under the flickering candlelight, two women came in.

The person on the right is in her forties. Although she is a mature woman, her eyebrows are full of youth and her face is charming. She is the Empress Dowager Hu of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

The man next to him was in his early twenties, with dark eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, and black hair. However, although he was carefully dressed with makeup, he could not hide the sadness in his eyes.

Fourteen days ago, Mu Xieli's 22-year-old husband Gao Wei and his eight-year-old son Gao Heng were falsely accused of treason and executed in Chang'an.

She was once the Supreme Empress of the Northern Qi Dynasty, but her country fell and she had no one to rely on, and she ended up here.

Cui Che couldn't help but sigh.

Mu Xieli had an alluring appearance, but was ignored by the powerful people in Kansai. Some people may be greedy for his appearance, but who would be willing to offend the Kanto nobles and arouse the suspicion of the emperor for the sake of female sex.

As mentioned above, there is no shortage of beautiful women in the world. Perhaps Mu Xieli's status as the mother of the Northern Qi Dynasty is more interesting in bed, but it also depends on whether it is worth it. Not everyone is as good as the Northern Wei Xiaowang

Generally speaking, he has no scruples and blatantly plays games with the queen and ministers.

Let's look at this brothel today. Except for Yang Xuangan and Dou Wei, who heard that Cui Che's father and ancestors were killed by Gao Wei, so they brought him and Pei Xiu over to see the excitement, the rest are all wealthy businessmen. The powerful families are afraid to avoid these two people.

Less than.

The madam of the brothel was still explaining the rules. The two nobles from Guandong were accepting customers for the first time, and the one with the highest price would get it.

The scruples of a powerful family are not something that merchants like them have to consider. If they can enjoy a night of pleasure with such a noble person, why should they be stingy with money.

However, before the bidding started, a young man walked into the venue.

"Ache."

Yang Xuangan, Dou Wei, and Pei Xiu didn't know their purpose.

All the merchants present burst into laughter:

"Little baby, go back quickly, this is not the place you should be."

"You came too early. You should come back ten years later to have fun!"

"Whose doll is this? Why did you bring a child to a brothel?"

Cui Che looked calm. He bowed to all sides and said calmly:

"Everyone's expenses tonight will be borne by Cui. Please listen to what Cui has to say."

As soon as they heard that Mr. Cui paid for tonight's consumption, everyone stopped laughing. After all, who doesn't like free prostitution?

Even the madam kept her mouth shut for fear of disturbing the guest.

When Cui Che saw that the place was quiet, Cui Che bowed again and then said:

"Young man Cui Che, from Anping, Boling."

As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of discussion in the audience.

"Cui Che? Could it be that he was Cui Che from Xumen Lixue not long ago?"

"Oh, what you hear is what you hear, what you see is what you believe. I have been in and out of prostitutes at a young age. The so-called Xu Menlixue is just a rumor."

But Cui Che turned a deaf ear and continued:

"My ancestor, Cui Gong, tabooed Ji Shu. In the second year of Jiande, he and his colleagues dissuaded Gao Wei from going to Jinyang. They were falsely accused of treason and abandoned his body in Zhangshui. My father, Cui Gong, tabooed Ji Shu, and Che's uncle, Cui Gong, tabooed Jingxuan. He was not angry.

They rose up to resist the tyranny, and all the men in the family were massacred. Only Che, who was young, luckily escaped the disaster. Che and the Gao family had a hatred that would destroy their entire family and cut their bones."

Everyone was silent again, thinking that this young man couldn't kill Gaowei, so he wanted to take out his anger on his mother and his wife. If that was the case, it would be hard for everyone to compete with him.

Mrs. Hu was slightly panicked, and Mu Xieli turned pale, worried about what kind of torture and humiliation he would suffer tonight.

However, Cui Che changed the topic and said:

"When the emperor entered Ye, he immediately issued a benevolent decree and gave gifts to the family ancestors. He also pardoned Che and his grandmother and returned the family property. May I ask you, should you repay your kindness for this?"

Everyone was puzzled as to what your visit to a brothel had to do with repaying your kindness, but they all agreed:

"You should repay your kindness."

Cui Che then said loudly:

"Today's emperor is an unparalleled hero, working hard to govern, and has the intention of being in the same world. As a king and father, he regards the people around him as his own, how can he have the intention of humiliating the people of Guandong.

"Today, the Hu family and the Mu family are entertaining people with sex in the brothels of Chang'an. The people of Guandong do not know the truth and mistakenly think that the emperor is persecuting them as a humiliation. Che cannot bear the emperor to be misunderstood, so in order to repay the emperor's kindness, he is willing to finance the Hu family.

Mu has purchased a decent job in Chang'an. If he refuses, Che should explain to the people in Guandong that everything is done voluntarily and is not your Majesty's fault. What do you think?"

How else can you think that you have connected this matter with the reputation of the emperor, and no one dares to stop you from repaying your kindness, not even the madam dares to say anything.

"That's how it should be."

"It turns out that the young man came here to repay his kindness."

"I'm just telling you, Xu Menlixue, a man who respects teachers and values ​​education so much, how can he indulge in female sex?"

Cui Che saluted everyone again, turned to Hu, whose expression had returned to normal, and Mu Xieli asked:

"Are you two going to stay in Yanhualiu Lane and have sex with others, or will I pay for the redemption and arrange a decent living for you two?"

Hu, however, laughed wildly and said:

"In the past in Yecheng, I had to compete with my concubines for favors in order to have a night of happiness. Now in Chang'an, I can do whatever I want and enjoy the happiness of human relations. Looking back on the past, being a queen is not as good as being a prostitute today. The young man is kind to my concubine, both physically and mentally.

Got it."

This statement made the eyes of everyone in the audience shine, and they secretly praised: What a prostitute.

Cui Che also knew that the Empress Dowager Hu had a dissolute nature, so he looked at Mu Xieli again.

At this moment, Mu Xieli was struggling with the war between heaven and man in her heart. She looked at her mother-in-law next to her who was flirting with everyone in the audience, and wondered if she really wanted to live this kind of life? She would have to wait until her beauty fades in her years.

how?

Cui Che didn't rush her, he just looked at her quietly, his eyes soft and reserved.

After pondering for a long time, Mu Xieli finally summoned up the courage to say:

"If it weren't for the sake of livelihood, who would be willing to despise myself? But please don't forget what I said today. I am willing to go with you."

Cui Che breathed a long sigh of relief. He had always acted with purpose, just like Xu Menlixue, and also like today when he redeemed Mu Xieli's life.

Doing good deeds without getting famous is not Brother Che's style. It is foreseeable that what happened today will be spread throughout Kanto under his behind-the-scenes control.

Although he studied in Chang'an, Cui Che knew very well that his roots were in Guandong and Hebei.

Apart from anything else, those young and old in Northern Qi must remember his love.

And a child's desire to repay kindness with fists would not arouse the Zhou Lord's suspicion.

The Madam originally wanted to make a name for herself by relying on the two golden brands of Hu and Mu Xieli, but now she saw that Cui Che was about to abduct her young side. Although she couldn't stop him, the price offered was really not low.

Cui Che is rich, after all, he brought more than ten carts of property to Chang'an.

But when he went to college to study, it was impossible for him to bring so much money with him.

Just as he was about to ask the madam to send someone to follow him back home, Yang Xuangan, Dou Wei, and Pei Xiu saw his difficulty, and they all generously donated their money, which was almost the same as the coins in Cui Che's pocket.

Brother Che thanked Yang Xuangan and Dou Wei sincerely and claimed that the money would be sent to the house tomorrow.

Yang Xuangan joked:

"Ache only thanked me and Wen Wei (Dou Wei's courtesy name Wen Wei), but not Shaocai (Pei Xiu's courtesy name), but he still treated me as an outsider?"

After saying that, the four of them looked at each other and smiled.

Please collect and recommend.
