One Piece of Song Dynasty

Gao Ping said with a smile: "Master, the master of the family once had a relationship with this girl. However, the girl did not know the master at that time, and the master of the family has never forgotten the girl since he met her once. After asking, we found out that this girl is from Huai'an. The daughter of General Liang of the Navy, the family did not go to propose marriage at that time due to her low status. Recently, they heard that the daughter was sent to the Jiaofang Bureau in the capital because her father and brother were convicted, so they sent a letter asking the little girl to come to see the Grand Master and ask the Grand Master to take action. To save this girl, the head of the family also asked Xiao Te to prepare two thousand taels of gold, of which one thousand taels of gold was dedicated to the Grand Master, and the other one thousand taels of gold was the ransom money for this girl." After saying this, Gao Ping asked people to give the girl a ransom. Two thousand taels of gold were brought up.

Cai Jing continued to ask: "You can take the gold directly to the Jiaofang Division to redeem the person, why do you still come to me?"

Gao Ping replied: "Master, don't make fun of me. Who knows that any woman who is sentenced to the Jiaofangsi may not be able to redeem her even if she has money. She still needs a Shangguan as a guarantee. After all, the head of the family is in Taipei." He works under the master, and he only knows the grand master in the capital, so the head of the family asked the young man to bring the gold to the grand master first."

Cai Jing laughed loudly and said: "It's true that a hero has a hard time being a beauty, and your family master also has a hard time being a beauty. Okay, I will accept this matter as an adult today. Shopkeeper Gao, just go back and listen."

Gao Ping replied: "Yes, Grand Master, the younger one will thank the Grand Master in advance for his family."

After Gao Ping left, Cai Jing said to the housekeeper: "You can go to the Jiaofang Department to take care of such a small matter."

The housekeeper said flatteringly: "Yes, sir. It seems that the master is very satisfied with Shopkeeper Gao's family."

Cai Jing said thoughtfully: "Well, Li Xin knows how to advance and retreat, knows what to do and what not to do, and never asks me for anything. It's a pity that his background is not very good. You have to know what it is to spend money to buy an official in the court." For someone who is not in a high position, it would be great if this person could study hard and pass the Jinshi exam, then I would have one more capable subordinate."

The housekeeper nodded and said: "It's a pity for this person."

Cai Jing waved his hand: "Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. Is there any news from Tong Guan? This Fangla riot caused me to suffer heavy losses in the southeast. Although I got a thousand taels of gold from Li Xin today, compared to me in The losses in the southeast are only a drop in the bucket. What is even more hateful is that those rebels dared to dig up my ancestral grave. This is unbearable. Now I wish I could cut Fang La into eight pieces to relieve my hatred."

The steward replied: "Reporting to the master, according to the news from Tong Taishi, Fang La sent Fang Qifu to lead the Northern Expedition a few days ago, captured Chongde County in one fell swoop, surrounded Xiuzhou northeast of Hangzhou, and divided his troops into Huzhou. Just as Wang Zhen led the official army from the east route coming from the north, Fang Qifu led the rebel army to fight, but failed to win and retreated to Hangzhou. At the same time, the leader of the rebel army Fang La personally led the main force to march south and successively captured Wu and Quzhou. The rebel army The other troops went north to conquer Ningguo County in Xuanzhou and surrounded the Guangde Army. So far, the rebels had captured more than counties in six states, including the entire Liangzhe Road and the vast areas south of Huainan West Road and east of Jiangnan East Road. However, the rebels The defeat in the Battle of Xiuzhou caused Hangzhou to lose its barrier."

Cai Jing nodded and said: "That's good. We encountered the most powerful Western Army in the Song Dynasty and failed in the first battle. It seems that these rebels are nothing to worry about. Okay, you can go and do things."

The butler cupped his fists and said, "Yes, sir."

Five days later, Gao Ping received news from the Cai Mansion that he could go to the Jiaofang Division to collect people. After receiving the news, Gao Ping dressed up and took people to the Jiaofang Division.

It is said that Liang Hongyu had just arrived at the Jiaofang Division and met Mother Wang, who was in charge of educating these women who were assigned. Mother Wang took a closer look at the tall, long-legged and beautiful beauty in front of her.

Mother Wang nodded thoughtfully and said, "You must be Liang Hongyu. You are really beautiful. No wonder you were bailed out before you even arrived at the Jiaofang Division."

Liang Hongyu was blessed: "The little girl is Liang Hongyu. I wonder what Mrs. Wang meant by what she just said?"

Mother Wang said: "You must not know it yet, but you have been redeemed. The person who redeemed you actually asked Master Cai to be your guarantee. It is really incredible. Your life is really good. I have never had such a good life." A girl like you was redeemed as soon as she came in. You must know that all women who enter the Jiaofang Division cannot be redeemed if they have money."

Liang Hongyu was confused when she heard what Wang's mother said: "The little girl has been ransomed now!"

Mother Wang nodded and said: "Yes, the person who picks you up should be here soon."

While the two were talking, Gao Ping arrived with someone.

Gao Ping cupped his fists at the older woman and said, "This must be Mother Wang. This is the document to redeem Miss Liang's life. Please take a look at it."

Mother Wang took the document, looked at it and said flatteringly: "Are you the shopkeeper Gao of Tianxiang Tower in Tokyo? This woman is the Hongyu girl you want to take away."

Gao Ping looked at Liang Hongyu for a while and nodded: "That's right, Mother Wang, I wonder if a certain family can take Miss Hongyu away?"

Mother Wang said: "Of course, shopkeeper Gao can take Miss Hongyu away now. This is Miss Hongyu's contract of sale." After saying this, Mother Wang handed a piece of paper to Gao Ping.

After taking the deed of sale, Gao Ping clasped his fists and said, "Then let me thank Mother Wang first." After that, Gao Ping stuffed dozens of taels of silver into Mother Wang.

Gao Ping took Liang Hongyu away from Jiaofangsi. On the way back to Tianxiang Tower, Liang Hongyu remained silent. Things changed too fast. Liang Hongyu was still in a confused state and had not yet digested the situation in front of her.

Gao Ping sent Liang Hongyu to a private room in the backyard of Tianxiang Tower in Tokyo and said: "Miss Hongyu, please go in and rest first. A certain family will have two maids to serve the girl in a while. If the girl has any requirements, please tell them. In two days A certain family sent the Hongyu girl away."

Only then did Liang Hongyu ask: "Are you the shopkeeper of Tianxiang Tower in Tokyo? Did you redeem your body for the slave family?"

Gao Ping replied: "A certain family is the shopkeeper Gao of Tianxiang House in Tokyo. It is not a certain family who redeemed the girl's body, but the head of a certain family redeemed the girl's body."

Liang Hongyu continued to ask: "What does Huai'an Tianxiang Tower have to do with you?"

Gao Ping smiled and said: "Since Miss Hongyu can ask this question, she should have the answer in her heart."

Liang Hongyu said: "That means Huai'an Tianxiang Tower can also be opened by the owner of Shopkeeper Gao."

Gao Ping nodded and said: "The girl is smart. As the girl said, Huai'an Tianxiang Tower is also opened by the owner of a certain family. Our Tianxiang Tower has branches in dozens of state capitals in the Song Dynasty. Of course, Miss Hongyu may not have I know that Huai’an Tianxiang Tower is actually opened by the owner’s family specifically for girls.”

Liang Hongyu blushed when she heard this and said: "It is specially opened for the slave family? It seems that the slave family has no intersection with the master family of shopkeeper Gao."
