He was betrayed at the beginning, from a cake seller to a wealthy person

Qi Yuan was raised like this for more than half a month, and he was finally able to move around without any hindrance. Although he was still unable to exercise vigorously, he was able to walk safely.

The day before he was going to leave happened to be the winter solstice. There is a tradition in the north of eating dumplings during the winter solstice, and with the tradition of rolling egg dumplings to catch wind noodles, Lu Yan decided to make dumplings to send him out.

Lu Yan started making preparations after she came back from selling the morning food. In winter, many vegetables were unavailable, so Lu Yan still made several kinds of fillings, including pork and cabbage, pork and green onions, pork and radish, and cabbage and egg. Lu Yan didn't even go out to the evening food stall today, and mobilized the whole family to make dumplings.

The main force in making dumplings were Lu Yan and Xu Shi. Lu Sheng was responsible for rolling out the dough. Qi Yuan had never done anything before and was curious about everything. He put a mouthful of the prepared raw stuffing into his mouth without noticing. When making dumplings, one filling is wrapped in one moment, and another filling is wrapped in another. Lu Yan taught him several tricks, and he enjoyed learning them.

Lu Yan's stuffing is well prepared, the meaty meat is rich in flavor, and the vegetarian one is fresh and delicious. Boss Lu and Xu have a special liking for pork and green onions. Lu Sheng and Lu Yan are no longer so interested in meat, but I like vegetarian ones the most. Qi Yuan didn't have a favorite. He filled the pot with the dumplings he made and ate a lot of each filling.

At night, when everyone was getting ready to rest, Lu Yan suddenly knocked on Qi Yuan's door.

Qi Yuan felt very strange because Lu Yan had nothing to say to him and didn't know what she wanted to say on the last day.

Lu Yan also hesitated for a long time. She felt that she still had to let Qi Yuan know the whereabouts of Jian Hongling, otherwise she might really be stuck in the brothel for the rest of her life. It's only been less than half a year now, and Jian Hongling is still young, so she hopes it's not too late. Even if the prince is suspicious of her, there is nothing she can do. If Jian Hongling is left alone, she may feel guilty for the rest of her life.

"You didn't say what your identity is, but I can tell at a glance that you are either rich or noble, so..." Lu Yan hesitated: "Do you know Prime Minister Jian?"

Qi Yuan's pupils shrank: "What do you mean?"

"Whether you recognize her or not, I want to ask you something. Prime Minister Jian's daughter-in-law, Jian Hongling, is in Mingyue Tower, the largest brothel in the city. Go rescue her and bring her back to the capital," Lu Yan said. .

Qi Yuan choked, and a chill ran down his back. His voice trembled: "Who are you? How do you know?"

Lu Yan smiled bitterly: "I'm nobody. A Ling and I were trafficked here together. She told me personally that she couldn't joke about this. But just because I'm nothing, I'm nothing." We couldn't do it. At that time, Ren Yazi took us, and the madam of the largest brothel in the city picked her up at a glance and took her away. Dad bought me, so I live here. "

"I'm not a particularly kind person. I had no way or thought of a way to save her before, but now that I've met you, I'm on the line with the capital. I really can't do anything to save her. She's still young, maybe the madam hasn't let her take over the guests yet, and everything is in time. Even if it's a step too late, it's better to take her out than to let her stay in that place her whole life, so I beg you to go, save her, take her Return to the capital." Lu Yan stood up and bowed to Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan received this huge amount of information and accepted it before he could react. Seeing that he agreed, Lu Yan felt relieved and walked out.

Early the next morning, Qi Yuan was ready to leave. Lu Yan brought him a bag of scones and dried meat for him to eat on the way, and brought out a mule. The mule was very strong and lively, between a horse and a donkey in size, and it snorted.

Qi Yuan: "..."

In all my years of living, I have never ridden a mule.

Lu Yan rolled her eyes: "Do you know how much a horse costs? What's wrong with the mules? They're cheap, strong, and fast. Don't look down on mules!"

So Qi Yuan, the prince at that time, carried a bag of pancakes and rode a mule, and headed towards the city.

The mule traveled very quickly. After galloping for less than two hours, Qi Yuan had already entered the county town. On a whim, Qi Yuan asked around in various grain shops and found that, as Lu Yan said, most of them didn't sell rice, and those who did sold it were quite expensive.

Qi Yuan traveled like this during the day and found an inn to rest at night. He walked for three days and finally entered Hengyun City, the capital of Hengzhou, before the city gate was closed on the evening of the third day.

Qi Yuan entered Hengyun City and found an inn to stay. The waiter took the mule to the backyard. Qi Yuan tidied up, and it was getting dark. It's a good time to go to a brothel.

After Beidi was defeated and the war ended, the curfew was gradually relaxed, and Hengyun City was still very lively at night. Mingyue Tower was a feasting and feasting place, welcoming guests and seeing them off. There were many luxury carriages parked at the door, and young ladies in red and green clothes were at the door to see off their benefactors.

As soon as Qi Yuan stepped into Mingyue Tower, he attracted attention from all directions. Because he is so good-looking and has the innate aura of a superior person. The bustard mother and phoenix goddess knew at the first sight that this man was either rich or noble and must be a big shot.

Feng Niang hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile: "This young master looks unfamiliar, it must be his first time here."

Qi Yuan smiled slightly, took out a piece of gold and threw it to the bustard mother: "I like purity. Mom, find me a clean place."

Feng Niang put the gold into her arms and smiled brighter: "Master, follow me."

Feng Niang took Qi Yuan to a room on the third floor. The room was quiet and elegant, the noise was isolated from downstairs, and there was no sound around. Qi Yuan was very satisfied with this and sat down to drink tea.

"I don't know what kind of girl the young master likes. I'll call you according to your preference?" Feng Niang asked tentatively.

Qi Yuan waved to Feng Niang and whispered: "I am a person who likes to be clean. Have you ever..."

Before she finished speaking, Feng Niang already understood. This young man must have never received any guests.

To say that such people are indeed rare, but there are indeed a few from time to time who have just entered the building and haven't had their first night yet. This time it was a coincidence, and it happened to be available.

The little girl who entered Mingyue Tower was basically the first night of the auction on the day she turned fourteen. The patrons bid, and the one with the highest price won. This is not because they feel sorry for the girl's young age, but mainly because girls who are too young don't know what's important. Crying and crying can easily annoy the distinguished guests, so they are usually trained until they are fourteen years old before accepting guests. If you don't sell your body as an artist before the age of fourteen, you can become familiar with your clients and build momentum for the girls, driving up the price of the first night.

It happened that the girls I bought a few months ago were all under fourteen years old, and were still learning and training, and had not yet been allowed to take over customers. Among them is Jian Hongling.

Feng Niang had some calculations in her mind and smiled: "Don't tell me, it's true."

Qi Yuan nodded with satisfaction: "Call me to have a look."

Feng Niang withdrew, and soon came in with the four girls she had bought. Four girls aged [-] or [-] were lined up, and the most conspicuous among them was Jian Hongling.

As soon as Jian Hongling walked in, Qi Yuan's pupils trembled. He knew this was the person he was looking for.

Qi Yuan gave the Madam a meaningful look and pointed at Jian Hongling: "What's her name?"

Feng Niang knew that no man could not be attracted by Jian Hongling's face: "This is Ling'er. The young master has good taste. Ling'er hasn't received the guests yet, and there are already many distinguished guests waiting for her."

"Your name is Ling'er now." Qi Yuan looked at Jian Hongling with a smile: "Isn't your name Jian Hongling?"

When Jian Hongling heard this, she raised her head in surprise. Feng Niang was also very surprised: "Master, have you known our Ling'er before?"

"I don't know her, I know her father." Qi Yuan said calmly, "Do you know that her father is the left prime minister?"

Bustard and Phoenix Niang's face turned pale.
