The chief player of the film and television world

Chapter 551 Convince Her

"Are you panicked?" Zhang Jin said.

"Master Zhang, are you joking?" Zhou Miaotong put one hand on the edge of the coffee table, with a forced smile on his face.

"Do you think I'm joking?" Zhang Jin asked back.

Zhou Miaotong's face was completely drained of blood, she bit her lip: "Master Zhang, you and I have never masked each other, why did you fall in love with me, a brothel girl?"

"It's not for anything else, just because you are Zhou Miaotong." Zhang Jin told the truth, but he guessed that the other party would not understand.

"Just because my name is Zhou Miaotong?" Zhou Miaotong repeated in a low voice, suddenly becoming very emotional, "Why?! My family has been ruined and I have been reduced to being an official prostitute in the Jiaofang Division. You Jinyiwei still refuse to let me go !"

Boom!

Zhou Miaotong got up and staggered, bumped into the teapot next to her, and the boiling hot tea instantly spilled on her hand that was supporting the ground, but she didn't seem to feel it.She stretched out her hand to pull out the red hairpin on her head, and put the sharp hairpin against her neck: "Don't even think about doing this, I won't be your concubine! Even if I die, I won't be at the mercy of Jin Yiwei anymore!"

"Don't get excited..." Zhang Jin knew that she would react to this again, but he didn't expect such a big reaction.

"Don't come here!"

"Don't get excited..."

"Don't come here..."

"All right, all right, I won't go there, shall I take two steps back?" Zhang Jin said as he stepped back a few steps, spread his hands, palms facing each other, and said in a gentle tone as much as possible, "Don't get excited, listen to me Speak slowly."

"What else do you have to say?" Zhou Miaotong was still very excited, Zhu Chai seemed to pierce her beautiful white neck anytime.

"I still have a lot to say."

"You..." Zhou Miaotong didn't expect him to be in the mood to joke.

Zhang Jin frowned and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have no malice towards you, and I was only entrusted to redeem you, and marrying you as a concubine is just to cover up people's eyes and ears, and I won't touch you. When the time comes, I will give you back your freedom, and then you can go wherever you like, as long as you don't stay in the capital."

Zhou Miaotong was stunned for a moment, half-believing and half-doubting: "Entrusted by someone? Who is that person, why did he entrust you with this matter, why didn't he come to me in person?"

"Are you sure you want him to come to you in person?"

"That's natural, otherwise empty words are useless, how can I trust you?"

"That's a bit troublesome. I have to find a mage to help and ask Hades if he agrees to let your father come up and explain it to you in person."

"My father? You said that the person entrusting you to do things is my father?" Zhou Miaotong shook her head in amazement, "Impossible, my father hates dealing with people from Jinyiwei the most. It is impossible for him to entrust my affairs to a Jinyiwei!"

Zhang Jin continued to make up the story and said: "Before your father died, I was not a Jinyiwei. I was an errand in the Ministry of Rites. I joined the Jinyiwei only to save you. But you were sent to the Jiaofang Division. I have never been able to find a chance. .No, as soon as you are sent to the Nuanxiang Pavilion, won't I immediately come to help you redeem yourself?"

His tone was sincere, and the story seemed to have no flaws. Zhou Miaotong couldn't help believing it, and the Zhu Chai in his hand was slightly away from his neck, and he looked at him seriously. He has the elegance of a scholar, not a rogue martial artist who only knows how to juggle guns and knives.

Her tone finally softened a lot: "Are you really the person my father entrusted to take care of me?"

"It's absolutely true, it's as good as a fake. I can swear to the sky, if there is even a half-true false statement, the sky will strike me with lightning!" Zhang Jin vowed, pointing to the sky.

Boom—thunder suddenly exploded!
"..." Zhou Miaotong looked at Zhang Jin.

Zhang Jin hurriedly said: "Thunderstorms occur frequently in the capital in July and August, but it's not because I told a lie that I was shocked by the thunder."

As if to rescue him, after the thunder, there was a sudden sound of sparse rain, hitting the roof of the tiles, making a dense sound, from the initial pattering rain, it soon turned into a torrential rain.

Inside the room, the two of them stare at each other and stare at each other.

After a long time, Zhou Miaotong put down the hand holding Zhuchai, and fell down on the chair next to her as if losing strength.

"Would you like a sip of tea?" Zhang Jin just realized that the teapot had been overturned, and he could only drink boiled water, so he poured a large teacup of boiled water for the other party, "Drink more hot water, it is good for your health."

Zhou Miaotong glanced at him, took the teacup and put it on the table next to him, and asked in a soft tone: "You...how did my father explain to you at that time?"

"Time was running out at the time, Zhou Shilang just confessed a word, let me find ways to rescue you, and gave me a hidden amount of silver, saying it was used for management expenses." Zhang Jin said, "In the past four or five years, I have also It took a lot, but I can finally redeem you, and I still have money to spend the rest of my life."

"It's not easy to hang out in Jinyiwei, thank you for your hard work." Zhou Miaotong said.

Zhang Jin waved his hand and said: "It's not hard work. In the past, I owed a lot of kindness to Zhou Shilang, but now it's just repaying the kindness. But you, a young lady, have suffered a lot when you entered the Jiaofang Division. But the hard days are over, these days I wronged you to stay in Nuanxiang Pavilion for a while, and I will tell Mother Zhou to take you all hours of the day, so you can have a good rest. When I finish the documents of the Ministry of Justice, you will be free."

"I still don't know one thing. Since you are the person entrusted by your father, why do you want me to be a concubine?"

"There must be a reason for me to redeem you. Being a concubine is just an excuse. Don't think it's bad reputation. You don't make it public and I don't make it public. When I leave the capital and go to other places in the future, no one will know about it." Zhang Jin Said.

Zhou Miaotong thought about it for a while and it was true, Shi Shi nodded in agreement.

Seeing that she already believed in him a little bit, but it might take a while to digest completely, Zhang Jin said: "The matter is over, you should rest earlier, I will go back first."

Zhou Miaotong hurriedly got up and sent him outside the door: "Thank you, let's go slowly."

"Stay and have a good rest." Zhang Jingong cupped his hands and turned to leave.

Coming out of the inner building, Zhang Jin heard a lot of gossip about Mr. Qin and Mr. Mu. I am afraid that these two people will no longer have the face to come to Nuanxiang Pavilion for fun.That's good too, so that I don't have to meet these two annoying guys when I come to Nuanxiang Pavilion in the future.

As soon as he stepped on the Qixing Quqiao in the lotus pond, Zhang Jin bumped into Zhou's mother head-on.

"Oh, Mr. Zhang, are you done chatting with Miaotong? How about it, Miaotong didn't cause you any trouble, did she?"

"Miaotong is very good, I like it very much. In this way, I plan to keep Miaotong exclusively for me in the future. Calculate how much it will cost and give me the number. I will send the silver in two days." Zhang Jin Straight up.

"Ah, this..." Zhou's mother was slightly surprised, she didn't expect this Jinyiwei Baihu to make such a request.

"What, can't you?"

Zhou's mother saw that his face was a little worried, and quickly explained: "It's not impossible, but this Miaotong is a first-class female music in Yuezi, and the price may be a bit expensive..."

"Are you afraid that I won't be able to pay?" Zhang Jin interrupted her.

"That's not true, I just don't want Mr. Zhang to be too reluctant. It's not good to delay your career. After all, you have to spend a lot of money to get promoted, right?" Zhou's mother smiled apologetically.

"You don't need to worry about this matter, you just need to tell me if it will work and how much it will cost." Zhang Jin's face darkened.

Zhou's mother didn't dare to offend him, so she could only make amends and said with a smile: "With Mr. Zhang's ability, naturally I don't need to worry about it. Miaotong only needs 20 taels of silver a day for this package."

As expected of Jiaofang Division's Xiaoyaogu Selling Gold Cave, 20 taels of silver a day, which is more than Jinyiwei Xiaoqi's salary for a year.

Above the small flag is the general flag, and at the top are hundreds of households. The annual salary of a hundred households plus extra filial piety is only 100 taels of silver. If you don’t eat or drink for a year, you can spend at most five days in Nuanxiang Pavilion day.

That's why Zhou's mother felt that Zhang Jin's plan to hire Zhou Miaotong next year was just wishful thinking.

Of course Zhang Jin knew that with his current status, it was normal for others not to believe that he could pay such a large amount of money.

He counted the days. In the movie, Guo Zhen was killed on the night of the Ghost Festival this summer, and there are only a few days left before the incident. It should not be difficult for him to intervene in the incident and make some money from it.

So, he said to Zhou's mother: "When is Miaotong meeting a guest?"

"Three days later."

"Then start counting from three days later, no, four days later, because the first day is mine. I will send money over in a few days. If you dare to promise Miaotong to other people before then, don't blame me You're welcome. I can't tear down Nuanxiang Pavilion, so can't I tear down your mother Zhou's bones?" Zhang Jin said without doubt.

Zhou's mother was shocked, and said with a smile: "Master Zhang, don't worry, Miaotong will only belong to you if I'm with you!"

"If things are done well, I won't treat you badly. You might as well reveal the news. I want to redeem Miao Tong for her. Whether she lives well or not in Nuanxiang Pavilion depends on how big your red envelope is on the day of redemption." Is it small, or this Xiuchun knife." Zhang Jin patted the scabbard and said in a low voice.

Without waiting for Zhou's mother to speak, he continued, "That's all for now, I have something to do, so I'll leave first, and you can let me know the brothers in the outer building, and charge the expenses of wine and music to my account. "

"Okay, Mr. Zhang, I'll see you off."

"No need, go do your work and take care of Miaotong for me."

Zhang Jin rejected Zhou's mother and walked towards the front building alone.After coming out of Nuanxiang Pavilion, the streets outside are a little less fat and powdery, and a little more real and cold.

The heavy rain has not stopped, and there are few pedestrians on the street. Occasionally, a few people who shuttle in the rain are wearing coir raincoats and bamboo hats.

Jin Yiwei also has a special raincoat, but he didn't bring it when he came out today.There is a lot of rain in the capital in summer, and it comes when you say it, and it is impossible for anyone to go out with a raincoat all the time.

Zhang Jin had no other choice but to stand under the eaves and wait for the rain to subside before walking.

"My lord, do you want an umbrella?" the servant of Nuanxiang Pavilion stepped forward and asked.

Those who can spend in Nuanxiang Pavilion are the patrons, and it doesn't cost much to send paper umbrellas to win people's hearts when it rains.

The water droplets falling from the eaves are densely packed into lines, and the water diversion channel is even falling into small waterfalls. From time to time, there are silver snakes shining in the sky. It seems that the rain can't tell when it will stop.

Zhang Jin thought for a while, then nodded to the boy: "Come here."

"Okay." The boy quickly brought him a paper umbrella, "This paper umbrella is painted by the girls in the inner building. It is guaranteed to be more elegant and beautiful than ordinary paper umbrellas."

Zhang Jin opened it and took a look at the painting on the paper umbrella. It was a landscape painting, and it looked quite artistic.But he didn't take it to heart, he held an umbrella over his head, and walked into the rainy street.

Zhang Jin returned to his residence by stepping on the rain. His whole calf was already soaked by the rain, and his whole body was covered with wet steam. He was just about to take off his clothes to take a hot bath when he suddenly remembered that this was the end of the ancient Ming Dynasty. It is not easy to take a hot bath.

He didn't feel comfortable without taking a bath. First, he spent a night in the Nuanxiang Pavilion, and then walked a long way in the rain. He just went to bed and lay down like this. He really couldn't accept it.

So he had no choice but to make a fire, add firewood and boil water by himself, and it took half an hour to pour half a bucket of hot water for himself.

After taking a comfortable bath and changing into clean clothes, he lay down on the hard plank bed and fell asleep.

The next day, at 05:30, he turned over and got out of bed, because he had to go to the Yamen to get some advice.

When Zhang Jin rushed from home to the Yamen, the sky had just dawned, with half of the belly white and the other half blue with loneliness.

After the signature was signed, there was no lottery for the time being, so Zhang Jin naturally mixed with his own general flag and small flag.

"My lord, Rong Yuezhai's dim sum was just made this morning."

"My lord, you can try the fresh and hot Li's Soybean Milk..."

"grown ups……"

In order to curry favor with him, he prepares breakfast for him every day.

Zhang Jin did not refuse anyone who came, and accepted the filial piety from his subordinates with peace of mind. While eating breakfast, he looked at the situation in the yamen.

His current identity belongs to the Hundred Households in Lu Wenzhao's Thousand Households Office, and he can be regarded as colleagues with Shen Lian and Ling Yunkai.

At this moment, Shen Lian and his subordinate Yin Cheng, Yin Xiaoqi, who liked to drink and talkative, were getting together to brag and chat.

Not far away, there is the general banner Ling Yunkai with two Jinyiwei school captains, expressionless, looking around, holding an impermanence book and a brush in his hand, writing and writing, I don't know if he is recording something what.

In addition to these two groups of people, there are two or three hundred-household circles inside and outside the hall and courtyard of the Thousand Households Office.However, Zhang Jin has no interest in understanding these passers-by.

Everyone chatted and ate, and when it was about Mao's time, Lu Wenzhao walked in from the outside, wearing a white boa robe that stood out very much.

When Lu Wenzhao sat down at the table, the team was neatly lined up in the hall of the Thousand Households Institute, with the Hundred Households in front, the General Banner behind, and the Xiaoqi and Xiaowei retreated to the courtyard.

"Master Qianhu!"

"Okay, I have something to talk about." Lu Wenzhao waved his hand, glanced at the people in the hall, and saw that no one raised his hand to report, so he said to himself, "Recently, the emperor's dragon body is getting worse and worse. All kinds of rumors came out, Tian Commander Shi and Xu Zhenfu both issued orders to strictly investigate Donglin's anti-party. Therefore, from today onwards, the number and frequency of night patrols doubled compared to before. Anyone who dares to talk about this matter will be punished. I grab it."

"Yes, my lord!"

"It's okay to report, right? Let's go, let me take action. The street must be clean and peaceful. Do you understand, have you heard everything clearly?"

"Listen clearly, my lord!"
