Prostitution

Wen Wuyu lay on the bed for a full day and night, without a benefactor to order cards, so he was happy and carefree.

The old bustard sent him the deed of selling himself along with the selling money. 8000 taels is a sky-high price.But at the end of the fifty-fifty split, the old bustard insisted on swallowing another 1000 taels, leaving only 3000 taels in his pocket.

Wenda, who earns 500 yuan day and night, is very generous and rewards [-] taels of Wenqu.

He avoids meat and fish in his diet, and three meals a day of vegetables, melons and fruits cost less than a few dollars. His two servants, Wenqu and Wuqu, are different from him, especially Wenqu. In terms of cost, 500 taels is more than enough.

Early in the morning, Wen Wuyu was woken up by Wen Qu's loud voice, saying that the palace sent someone to invite him.

It was a good thing that someone came to invite him, but he didn't understand why Wen Qu had a frightened expression on his face.

The visitor lifted a wooden stick with a thick leg, threw it on the ground, and shouted at him, "The prince has an order, and no one has been seen in the next court, so he broke his leg and carried it into the palace."

Wen Wuyu now understood why that big face was panicked, and hurriedly asked, "When will the prince come down?"

"Chenshi three quarters."

When he got the answer, he turned his head and asked Wen Qu, "What time is it?"

Wen Qu's bitter face was worried, "When you finish washing, it will be three o'clock."

"Ah," Wen Wuyu sat on the bed, let out a long breath, rubbed his face with his good hands, and said without any haste, "Hurry up and call Wuqu, and I won't wash my face."

Then he slowly got out of bed to take out his outer robe, and looked at the bronze mirror to stroke his sleepy hair with five fingers.

After leaving the Lianyi Pavilion, due to time constraints, Wen Wuyu prepared to call a carriage.

The guard said that he was accompanied by a car.

It is a good thing to save the transportation fee, but the three people sitting in the car are not happy.

It was supposed to be a handsome tall horse, but now it is an old buffalo with a copper ring on its nose.Vans don't have silk curtains on the top, and old buffaloes are not good enough to pull luxury cars, so they are saved and simplified into two-wheeled vehicles with straw seats.

The ox carts jolted happily, and the country people entered the city, swaggering through the city, the scenery was infinitely beautiful, and passers-by all looked sideways and smiled.

There were three masters and servants sandwiched between the stacked soft bags on the car, Wen Wuyu was neither startled nor impatient, and simply sat cross-legged quietly as if he had entered a deserted place.Wen Qu couldn't do it, his head drooped so low that he almost got it in his crotch.The other one is Wu Qu, who is tightly wrapped from head to toe, and the only pair of exposed eyes are empty, as if he has received the true biography of his master.

When they arrived at the palace, they got off the ox cart, dragged their luggage, and the guards carrying wooden sticks urged the three of them into the mansion like ducks.

Yuan Cheng changed into court clothes and was resting and drinking tea in the lobby.

The breeze is gentle and refreshing.

Suddenly he frowned, and there was a smell of medicinal herbs from nowhere, which became stronger and stronger, like being in a medicine barrel.

The servants reported that Mr. Wen had arrived.

When Yuan Cheng walked to the door, he saw Wen Wuyu at the front still wearing a white robe, walking leisurely, with his whisk and his clothes flying together, which seemed like a fairy coming down to earth. if.

Yuan Cheng chuckled and turned back into the hall.

After a while, three people entered the lobby, knelt down and kowtowed first.

Yuan Cheng slowly walked in front of the three of them, and he found that the smell of herbs came from the strangely dressed little servant who seemed to be unsightly.

Yuan Cheng pointed at Wu Qu, "What's wrong with him?"

Adhering to a guy's cold logic, a guy didn't intend to reply.

"Back to the lord, he is Wu Qu, the little one said it before." Wen Qu seemed to have forgotten how long ago he had glared at this lord with his sharp eyes.

Yuan Cheng squinted at Wen Wuyu, then looked at Wu Qu again, sizing him up and down, "This king is asking why he looks like this?"

Wen Qu suddenly realized, and exaggerated, "Oh, he is sick and can't speak. The reason why he is wrapped like this is because of the medicine!"

"What disease?"

"Yes……"

Wen Qu received a cold stare, and had to swallow the words.

Yuan Cheng turned to look at Wen Wuyu, and said in a playful tone, "Mr. Wen was in a bullock cart, did he become dumb?"

Although Wen Wuyu didn't say the word childish, his light eyes swept over Yuan Cheng, somewhat meaningful, "Reporting to the lord, it's a burn, and Wu Qu's whole body is flawless, so he needs to apply it every day." medicine."

Yuan Cheng sat back in the grand teacher's chair, took a sip of tea, "The palace does not accept people with unknown origins."

All three were stunned.

Wen Qu blinked his eyes a few times, and said innocently, "My lord doesn't want us now." He didn't even drink the hot tea from the palace.

"There are many people serving here."

The three of them understood that Wen Qu was the first one to follow his orders, and his voice raised unconsciously, "That won't work, the three of us depend on each other for our lives, and one will prosper and the other will suffer." Naturally, Wen Qu didn't come up with such a dignified vocabulary. Well, his master had the foresight, and yesterday he specifically discussed that the prince might not accept him because of Wu Qu's image.

Yuan Cheng's temples twitched suddenly when he was stabbed by the loud voice, and his face darkened.

Wen Qu immediately faltered, and hurriedly explained his life experience, "Young one, he is from the mountains. He has a father, a mother, an acre of land, two tile-roofed houses, and a dozen pigs. He lived a good life, but who knows? One day, the mountain suddenly collapsed, and the ground opened a big crack, which swallowed our pigs, and the house became a pile of stones. My parents died, and I lived for three days in a crack in the ground. , hungry and thirsty, who knows that the mountain is burning again, the fire did not burn me, but the pig was cooked, and I lived for more than ten days by relying on a well-cooked pig, and it finally rained , The sky seems to be leaking, the rain is so heavy, I was rushed out of the ground and passed out, and when I woke up, I saw my master."

Wen Qu seemed to be missing a string in his brain, frowning and dancing, explaining his sad life experience clearly in plain language.

Yuan Cheng rubbed his temples, and sighed helplessly, "Your life experience is quite miserable, but your voice is indeed unpopular, do you remember what I said the day before yesterday?"

Wen Qu looked bewildered, his mind was still filled with the scene of the natural disaster, and he couldn't get into the memory of the day before.

Wen Wuyu kindly reminded, "Twist off your tongue and feed the dog."

"This has always worked for you." Yuan Cheng added.

Wen Qu quickly bit his lower lip with his upper teeth, closed his mouth tightly, and looked at the ground.

After being quiet for a while, Yuan Cheng pointed to Wu Qu, "He."

Wen Wuyu had no choice but to open his mouth, and said slowly, "My life experience is difficult to verify. If the prince wants to know the details, he must ask his tutor. Wenqu was picked up by Qianchuan four years ago. Five years ago, I traveled in the clouds. Passing through the land of Huai, the mountains and forests here are lush, the weather is dry, and there are frequent fires. Wu Qu’s house is just in the middle of the forest. I picked him up in the ruins. , to get a pair of burn medicine. This prescription uses all the precious medicinal materials, a pair of medicine is ten taels of silver, and it is changed once a day. Over the past five years, it has cost more than 8000 silver, plus food, clothing, housing and transportation. I guess it will double. That is..."

As he talked, this gentleman actually involved money to settle accounts! !

Several people in the hall looked at him gradually straightening their eyes.

"Stop," Yuan Cheng stopped in time, feeling amused, "Look at what you mean, it's not easy to take care of your family to support your three masters and servants, and prostitution is also forced by the situation."

"My lord concluded that." Wen Wuyu affirmed.

Wen Qu had a bitter look on his face, almost moved to tears, while Wu Qu's eyes seemed to be watery.

Yuan Cheng then waved his hand, "Okay, Lian Qi, take them into the West Wing, and explain the rules together."

The three of them turned around, walked a few steps, and heard Yuan Cheng's voice again, "Wait, since you have brought someone to serve you, don't you need to send someone else?"

Wen Wuyu replied, "Don't trouble your lord, Wuqu is good at cooking, and I'm used to his cooking."

"It's just right, there is a small kitchen in the west wing, you can use it as you like."

One is sick and the other is talkative, he can't stand loud voices, and he doesn't want to smell the smell of medicine, for fear that these two will wander around with nothing to do and turn the palace into a mess.

Wen Wuyu stopped at the door, "You two go clean up first."

Lian Qi didn't know whether to leave or stay, seeing Yuan Cheng's eyes acquiesced, he led them back.

"Could it be that you can't wait and want to serve you now?"

Yuan Cheng leaned back into the chair, spoke in a drawn out voice, and watched him approaching with great interest.
