Chapter 325: No, she drank the poisoned wine
"They are all unmarried girls, all of them are beautiful girls from a small family. They usually sit quietly at home. When they go out, they have to wear a veil to prevent others from seeing them."
"And now you want me to gather them all together for you gentlemen to choose from?"
"Ha! What do you take them for? They are all decent women, not prostitutes from brothels!"
As she spoke, Wei Hongshao waved her hand and tried to drive the housekeeper out as if she was driving a duck.
At this time, Butler Zhang pulled out a bag of rice from behind him.
This bag of rice looks heavy!
He shook it deliberately towards Wei Hongshao, and the silver inside immediately collided with each other, making a "click" and "click" sound.
When Wei Hongshao heard the sound of silver colliding, her eyes suddenly lit up!
She quickly said, "What's in here?"
Butler Zhang looked at Wei Hongshao, such a bright and charming face, and his heart was itching!
If it were any other time, he might have found a way to trick her out.
Lock her in a room and fuck her hard several times!
However, now that the master was pressing him hard, he could only put this thought aside for the time being.
He said to Wei Hongshao with a grin, "Here are five hundred taels of silver. This is the deposit!"
"After the matter is completed, our master will give you another 1,000 taels of silver!"
"Add to that the gifts from the young ladies' parents, and all that's added up, you can earn at least two thousand taels of silver!"
"You'll definitely make a killing this time. You can even buy a house out there and keep a gigolo and a young man for your entertainment!"
When Wei Hongshao heard this, the smile on her face suddenly turned gloomy.
She waved her hand and said, "Go away! Who do you think I am?"
"Let me tell you, I'm a faithful and chaste woman!"
"Give me the money, and tomorrow morning I'll take twenty girls to Qingfeng Teahouse!"
After Butler Zhang left, Wei Hongshao was holding the heavy five hundred taels of silver in her hand, and her face was full of joy.
She walks in a hopping manner, like a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old.
With a "bang", she placed the five hundred taels of silver on the table.
He said to Han Dalang, "Look, Dalang, five hundred taels of silver!"
Han Dalang, sitting on the bed, looked at Wei Hongshao with horror.
He asked, "Where does all this money come from?"
Wei Hongshao said happily, "I just got a big job. Twenty young men from the Ximen family want to go on blind dates!"
"Let me take twenty girls to meet them at Qingfeng Teahouse tomorrow."
"This is actually quite simple. As long as both parties are attracted to each other, the marriage can be finalized on the spot."
"Oh, oh." Wei Hongshao said, and gently patted her smooth forehead with her soft hands.
"That way, I'll be too busy to handle it."
Han Dalang smiled and said, "It's no problem. Now that Sister Hai Yulan is taking care of them at home, you can rest assured that you can act as a matchmaker and help them have a happy and healthy marriage."
Whenever Han Dalang mentioned Hai Yulan, a smile appeared on his face involuntarily.
And this smile had already caught Wei Hongshao's eyes.
Wei Hongshao saw through it but didn't say anything. Although she still had a smile on her face, a hint of loneliness flashed in her eyes.
In fact, the couple have been together for some years. How could Wei Hongshao, such a smart person, not see through Han Dalang's little tricks?
Wei Hongshao and Han Dalang often seem more like siblings than husband and wife.
Some people even joked that they looked like father and daughter.
On the one hand, Han Dalang was exposed to the wind and sun every day, so he became dark and looked old.
On the other hand, there is Wei Hongshao, who is naturally beautiful. Although she is already in her thirties, she looks like a teenage girl.
Therefore, if they go out, strangers may really think they are father and daughter.
In addition, the two have always maintained a certain distance from each other.
In fact, this distance was not something Wei Hongshao deliberately created at the beginning.
But it was Han Dalang. As a man, he always kept a distance.
In the past, Wei Hongshao thought Han Dalang was honest and a little timid.
However, after getting along with each other, Wei Hongshao finally understood Han Dalang's inner thoughts by drinking and getting him drunk.
He...has low self-esteem!
He felt that he was not worthy of Wei Hongshao.
On the one hand, it is his own identity, and on the other hand, it is his function as a man.
Both of them fail to meet the standards!
The husband and wife continued to drift apart, their lines gradually changing from intersecting to parallel.
As time went by, it really felt like we were just playing house together.
For this reason, Wei Hongshao felt only a little bit lonely when she knew that Han Dalang's mind had shifted to someone else.
But she soon returned to her normal state, after all, there was a lot of money waiting to be earned!
And in a few hours, her good younger brother will come to her house to visit her elder brother!
Then she could prepare him a cup of good tea again...
The next morning, at Qingfeng Tea House,
Wei Hongshao and Liu Yulan led the three carriages behind them and slowly stopped.
Then the two of them brought a group of beautiful girls to the Qingfeng Teahouse.
The teahouse has been cleared out at this moment and is not open today.
Butler Zhang has been waiting for a long time.
Seeing that Wei Hongshao really brought twenty young women wearing veil hats, he hurriedly led them to the backyard with a smile.
There were a total of twenty tables here, with many dishes and drinks on them. There were also twenty handsome young men sitting there quietly, looking at their delicate features.
Suddenly, these twenty women were also delighted.
After all, these are all the young masters of the Ximen family, and it is difficult to even see them on a normal day.
And today there are twenty people, and they can choose for themselves!
At that moment, everyone walked over according to their own preferences.
Soon, under the arrangement of Wei Hongshao and Liu Yulan, twenty people took their seats.
Butler Zhang held a bottle of wine in his hand and poured a small glass for each of the twenty girls.
He said, "This is a unique tradition of our Ximen family. As long as the girls drink this small cup of wine, it will be considered a done deal."
As soon as these words were spoken, the twenty girls immediately picked up their glasses and drank them all without thinking.
Butler Zhang was holding the last bit of wine left in the wine jug and was about to have someone take it away.
Wei Hongshao, who was beside him, took the wine jug and said, "There's still some in the jug, don't waste it. I happened to have been talking all morning and I'm dying of thirst."
As she spoke, Wei Hongshao put her hand to the spout of the teapot and gulped down the remaining wine.
At her age now, she is no longer a little girl.
When dealing with outsiders, she always appears to be very bold and free-spirited.
Only when facing Han Zhuo would she become shy and timid.
Butler Zhang didn't know what the wine meant, so he didn't stop it.
Soon, these girls began to shake their heads in unison and all lay down on the table.
Even Wei Hongshao tilted her body and fell into the arms of Liu Yulan beside her.
Liu Yulan was startled when she saw this and immediately started crying, "Hongniang, Hongniang!?"
Butler Zhang's true colors were revealed. He grinned and said, "Stop shouting, stop shouting. Can't you see she's sleeping so soundly?"
"Come here, tie them all up!"
Immediately, the twenty young men quickly stood up, took out the ropes they had prepared long ago from under the table, and tied up the young and beautiful girls in front of them.
At this time, someone looked at Wei Hongshao in Liu Yulan's arms and asked Zhang Guanjia, "What should we do with the two of them?"
Butler Zhang looked at the two beauties in front of him, who in his eyes were already ripe.
A beastly smile immediately appeared on his face!
He received an order from Ximen He that after these girls had drunk the wine, they should be tied up and sent to the lime mine in Dayan Village.
Hand them over to the bandits.
Ximen He meant twenty young girls, but not including Liu Yulan and Wei Hongshao.
The strong desire in Butler Zhang's heart burned like a raging fire!
He quickly said, "Master said that these people are to be given to the bandits. Anyway, one more is not too much, one less!"
"Tie them all up, and stuff a piece of cloth into the mouth of the one who's still unconscious!"
Then the twenty-two people were stuffed into several carriages and transported out of the city to Dayan Village.
