25. Five hundred taels of relatives

A weird combination of a miserable female partner and a bad guy.

In his heart, Hong Dashou really didn't support Lin Shangwo being such a good person. This was not because of egoism, but because he couldn't save him completely, so it was in vain to comfort his conscience.

How is this different from releasing tortoises into the sea or carp into the river (someone set up a net a hundred meters away)?

Saved means no saved!

"So Brother Lin, you want to redeem her life?" Hong Dashou stared at Lin Shangwo, hoping to see something in his eyes.

"After all, she is the daughter of a good family and should not be reduced to a prostitute."

"There are hundreds of houses in these eight alleys, and there are hundreds of daughters from good families. Can you save them?"

"Although there are some benevolent women, I have not met the others, but I have met Miss Caiyue."

"How to arrange for him after redemption?"

"Give her some money and let her return to her hometown?"

"He is a weak woman, and she is still a three-inch golden lotus. She can't even walk a long way. You let her return to her hometown by herself?"

"He always has relatives who can take her in..."

The more Lin Shangwo spoke, the softer his voice became. Hong Dashou knew that Lin Shangwo was a person who accepted death. Although he couldn't explain it, he would definitely help this girl Caiyue redeem herself.

Just as he believed that Hong Dashou could become prosperous, others would try to take back the money when they saw it, but not only did he not push him, he was even willing to lend Hong Dashou private funds to help him with his expenses.

What a good person!

And he’s very soft-hearted!

"Go and ask Miss Caiyue to come over. I want to have a few words with her."

Hong Dashou tapped the table with his fingers, not knowing how to deal with this matter. Moreover, it was late at night, and there was no one to discuss with, let alone just walk away.

The desktop made a regular sound of "duh, duh, duh", which was particularly clear in the quiet night.

"Master, if you can help Sister Caiyue out, please save her." Another girl who was resting inside walked out with her clothes on.

"My dear Han Yue, please show me mercy." As she said this, the girl lowered her waist and squatted to the bottom.

"It is easy to save her from the pit of fire, but we are beautiful people and cannot take her back to the country. She has no relatives and no place to make a living. She may end up in the abyss again."

Hong Dashou asked the girl to get up. He was not a hard-hearted person. He sighed. After all, he was still willing to help this girl Caiyue.

Just as he was talking, Caiyue, whose pear blossoms were covered with rain and there were still tears in the corners of her eyes, was brought in by Lin Shangwo.

The two sisters sat in one place and waited quietly for Hong Dashou's decision. They could see clearly that among the four people, although they were all different, it was Hong Dashou who made the decision and convinced everyone.

This thing is really easy to see. Hong Dashou has hundreds of years of foresight and does not mention it. Jin Douji spent the first half of his life doing loan sharking in Tieshan. Although he did a lot of bad things, in the end he still lived in the same place.

A bastard. A bastard is a bastard. It’s hard to say whether he can be on the stage or not.

Li Xi was a security agent affiliated with the Gulf merchants. He was a person who had at least been to Hanyang and had a lot of experience. But his knowledge was limited to the three thousand miles of the Li Dynasty.

, from the moment he followed everyone into the Qingying Hall, we knew that this person was still a bit short of luck.

Lin Shangwo was different. At least he didn't look around subconsciously. After all, it was not his first time to Yanjing, nor was it his first time passing by Qianmen Street. He had seen these singing stalls before, so he was not curious.

Calmly.

Sometimes, the difference between knowledgeable and uninformed people is really big, so big that people can tell them apart at a glance.

Looking at the sad and pitiful sisters in front of him, what else can Hong Dashou do? He can still make more money, but he may not be able to meet an "innocent" friend like Lin Shangwo again.

"Brother Lin, I also brought three hundred taels with me, which should be enough for you."

"Brother Hong..." Lin Shangwo took the money, his face turned red and he was speechless.

"I wonder what the two girls are worth?"

"Well, there used to be a sister in the hall who was redeemed by an cattle and horse merchant from Shaanxi. She was worth three hundred and eighty taels." Han Yue stayed longer and saw more.

"Three hundred and eighty taels?" Hong Dashou now knew.

"How old is she? Or how many years has she been a guest?"

"It's similar to the slave family. I've been a guest for two years."

A guest who has been with you for two years is worth three hundred and eighty taels of silver, but it's about the same when you think about it. These days, an old girl is only considered old after she is twenty. When redeeming her body, assuming she is sixteen, she still has four years of youth, which adds up to one.

Almost a hundred years old.

Not expensive!

"There's only one thing. Brother Lin can't take you away, so I can only help you find a family and commit yourself to a small life. It's just to get out of this situation and have someone to rely on."

"I would be very grateful to be able to leave here, and I don't dare to be picky." Caiyue said while wiping the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

So it was decided that Lin Shangwo would redeem her, and then entrust her to a local businessman the Gulf businessman met in Beijing.

After so many years of business dealings, Lin Shangwo generally knew what kind of person he was like. Placing this Caiyue with a familiar and trustworthy person could be regarded as giving her a place to stay.

It was impossible for Lin Shangwo to take her away, and Caiyue's background, whether she was an official or a merchant, could only be a concubine, that is, an aunt, or in other words, a mistress.

To put it bluntly, she is a high-end maid, with a little bit of dignity.

Caiyue and Hanyue were resting in this room, while Hong Dashou could only pack up his clothes and go to his wing to rest with Lin Shangwo.

I don’t know if the young man was excited or panicked. Anyway, as soon as he sat down, he felt like he was out of strength and sat there in a daze.

Hong Dashou didn't bother him, and just climbed into bed. Lin Shangwo didn't come to sleep, and Hong Dashou didn't scream. Anyway, there were two quilts, and he really wanted to sleep with a blanket.

I was speechless all night until dawn!

There was no wind and no waves, and a good night's sleep. Hong Dashou would not be unable to sleep because of this kind of thing. When he woke up, he found that Lin Shangwo was still sitting on the chair, and he really hadn't slept all night.

When the waiter knocked on the door and asked what he wanted for breakfast, they ordered the meal for free. Lin Shangwo just jumped up, grabbed the waiter's hand, and asked him to call the madam over to discuss.

The boy had a puzzled look on his face. When Hong Dashou came out of the room, the boy's face changed slightly. He didn't know what he was thinking of. He ran out and ran into the wing in the backyard, followed by a sound of knocking on the door.

The madam was called over with a confused look on her face. Her hair was simply pulled into a bun and she didn't put on any makeup. Only then did Hong Dashou realize that the madam was only in her early thirties. It was the time when she was young in the new society, and she had already retired.

I was on the second line and got into this business.

As soon as people entered the room, before Hong Dashou could say anything, Lin Shangwo couldn't wait to ask: "Master, how much is Miss Caiyue worth?"

"kindness?"

The madam was also a little surprised. There were only two grown men sleeping in this room, but she was much calmer than the servant. When she heard Lin Shangwo's question, she seemed to understand immediately.

"Oh, my lord, Miss Caiyue is the first day to see a guest. I have worked so hard to raise her to such a big age, she is just like my biological daughter. How can I let her go..."

The lines were very cliche, and Hong Dashou felt that there was nothing new in their line of work.

"Since I, Brother Lin, like it, Hall Master, you should tell me the number."

"Oh, this is closer than my biological daughter!"

Hong Dashou grabbed Lin Shangwo, who wanted to start a fight, and refused to allow him to answer. When the madam saw that he could no longer play the family card, he had to straighten his face.
