Chapter 46 "Prime Minister, I have a husband." "Prime Minister, I have a husband..."
The sky is clear and cloudless, and the moon hangs high in the sky like a bright mirror.
Ye Jindian stepped on the shadows that were cut into particularly colorful shapes by the branches and rushed into Chunxiao Tower with great momentum.
As she crossed the threshold, she bumped into someone important.
——The middle-aged madam of Chunxiaolou.
Both of them were extremely powerful. After the collision, the brothel owner took three steps back and still couldn't keep her balance. She crashed into the arms of several thugs with strong bodies behind her and was helped to stand up.
"Oh, who is that blind person..." She covered her forehead and looked outside the door. She was immediately stunned by the girl whose charm could not be concealed even in her plain clothes and hairpins.
The girl is facing away from the moonlight, with a hazy halo around her. Her slightly sweaty hair makes her skin appear even whiter than jade, and her eyes and eyebrows have an ethereal air.
The brothel owner's eyes fell on the hem of the woman's clothes that was burned by sparks, and she looked at the pair of hands that were not as soft as those of an ordinary woman for a moment, and instantly estimated the woman's identity and status.
——A person from a poor family.
"I'm sorry." Ye Jindian didn't pay much attention to the madam's dark, malicious look. After bowing and apologizing, she asked, "Excuse me, are you from Chunxiaolou? Do you know where the gentlemen from Minglu Academy are drinking now?"
Mr. from Minglu Academy?
The brothel owner frowned, thinking that she seemed to have only seen a few students from Minglu Academy changing out of their student uniforms to have fun tonight, but she didn't see any teachers.
In their line of work, eyesight is crucial, and they will definitely not fail to recognize someone just because they have changed into fancy clothes.
Besides, most of those who came were famous playboys in Shengjing.
but--
"It's okay, it's nothing serious." The brothel owner suppressed the thought in her eyes, smiled and stepped forward, holding Ye Jindian's hand, "Young lady, are you here to take your husband home?"
Ye Jindian didn't like being too close to others, and she felt very uncomfortable when her fingers were pinched. She mumbled a response and tried to pull her hand back, but was held tightly.
The brothel owner fanned her, made jokes, and pulled her to a secluded place.
Ye Jindian felt something was wrong and immediately pulled the curtain beside her, explaining, "I'm just here to look for my husband. I won't cause any trouble. There's no need for you to be so nervous."
"Nervous?" The madam covered her lips with a Suzi fan embroidered with ducks and mandarin ducks, as if she had heard something amusing. "Young lady, we're not nervous. The one who should be nervous... is you."
Her face changed, and she lowered her chin, prompting the strong man to step forward: "Cover her mouth and take her away."
"How dare you!" Ye Jindian shouted, "I'm from the imperial court!"
She quickly took out the Arms Supervisor's ID card from her bosom and thrust it in front of the thug who rushed over. She saw him stop and hesitate, then wander around again, forcing the others to retreat before he stopped in front of the madam.
"You're so bold! You even dare to kidnap someone from the Arms Depot!"
A big pot fell on her head and the madam's face froze. She didn't expect that such a cute and gentle young lady could be so tough.
The second floor of Chunxiao Tower.
Behind the mica partition door with "Shun plowing Lishan and fishing in Lei Ze" carved on the skirt board, Zhang Heng's nervously raised buttocks fell back steadily on the soft embroidered stool.
She put down the jade comb in her hand, slowly inserted the jade hairpin with kingfisher feathers into her hair, smoothed the silk ribbons and small braids hanging beside her, and spoke to the person reflected in the mirror with some pride.
"Princess, what do you think? Just say that my sister-in-law will definitely suit your taste."
In the dim light, the jade-white hand resting on the edge of the couch moved, lazily supporting her forehead. Her voice was charming, with a hint of a long tail tone: "We are from the same family. But I am afraid that this old procuress has been running rampant for many years without any harm, and she doesn't even take a craftsman from the Armory seriously."
As he was speaking, he heard a cold snort from the brothel owner amid the noisy sounds downstairs.
"How dare this person impersonate someone from the Arms Administration? It's unforgivable." Her face was sinister, and she turned the tables without blinking. "Someone, drive her to the backyard."
What a blast to the backyard.
Everyone knows what the backyard of such a filthy place is like.
Zhang Heng slammed the table and stood up.
Just as she placed her hands on the door, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure passing by outside through the mullioned window inlaid with mica sheets. The figure opened the door and went downstairs much more skillfully than her.
downstairs.
Ye Jindian dodged sideways and shouted angrily, "How dare you! You're not afraid of the Military Equipment Supervisor, so are you not afraid of the Right Prime Minister?!"
Zhang Min held onto the railing and landed on the stairs in a few jumps, then suddenly stopped.
Madam, this is——
Using his name to scare people?
Beneath the mask, the corners of the crimson lips unconsciously curled up.
There was a curtain hanging down at the entrance of the stairs. He was tall and standing on three steps, revealing only his dark blue round robe with a cloud-shaped collar and a red lining.
Apart from a soft white jade pendant on the leather belt, which slightly reveals his noble status, nothing else can be seen clearly.
Both sides just treated him as a distinguished guest who happened to come downstairs.
Ye Jindian took advantage of the brothel owner's stunned state and shook off her hand, trying to go around behind the stairs, make a circle and then go out.
As for asking for help from distinguished guests, she had never thought about it.
Unexpectedly, the madam reacted quickly and her expression changed immediately: "Stop her!"
The burly man blocked her path with one powerful step.
Ye Jindian backed away along the wall beside the stairs, looking at them warily, touched the palm-sized wooden box in the cloth bag, and lightly swept her fingers across the mechanism.
The brothel owner and her thugs surrounded the staircase and gestured towards the second floor, asking people to block the stairs on this side from the second floor and encircle them from both ends.
Seeing the guest in gorgeous clothes on the stairs standing still, leaning against the wall with his arms folded, as if he was watching the show with great interest, the madam forced a smile:
"The dancers in this building have just been brought in and haven't been trained yet. I'm really sorry for disturbing our guests."
Ye Jindian glanced behind him following the sound, only to see a golden mask emitting a cold light.
She was a little stunned.
The brothel owner bowed and said, "Please—"
Before he could finish the words "Dear guest, please move aside", Zhang Min exerted force with his arms, straightened his body, raised his feet and took two steps down, then stood close behind Ye Jindian and smiled suddenly.
The breath hit the thin mask, causing a very unique echo.
Rustling.
Like a wind blowing across a knife blade in the desert.
"What's going on?" Zhang Min, oblivious to the surroundings, raised his hands to support himself on the wooden beam at the top of the stairs, bent down and looked down at his wife. "You dare to use my name to scare people, but you don't dare to acknowledge me? What's the logic behind this? Huh?"
The last word "hmm" with an upward tone clearly carries a hint of teasing between acquaintances.
But Ye Jindian asked herself if she was familiar with him.
She was a little embarrassed and hesitated to speak.
The brothel owner could never have imagined that this young lady from a poor family actually knew the Right Prime Minister, and it seemed that they had a close relationship.
Well, it's still the kind of right prime minister who throws himself at someone and no one else wants to pay attention to him.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.
She tried to smooth things over stiffly: "So this young lady is a friend of the Right Prime Minister. I must have recognized the wrong person, hahahaha..."
Beneath the golden mask, Zhang Min's eyes were icy. But tonight was destined to be turbulent. If there were any more trouble, it would probably put his wife in the spotlight.
He wrote this down first.
but--
"You're just going to walk away like this?" Zhang Min raised his chin slightly, "You scared my friend."
His words sounded ordinary, but the brothel owner and a group of burly men were so shocked that they broke out in cold sweats and felt a chill down their spines.
It was like the wolf king opened his mouth and yawned silently.
I didn't do anything, but there was a terrifying feeling all over me.
"Haha, look at my memory." The madam slapped herself in the face.
She spanked him mercilessly, and just one spank made his face turn red. After three spanks, his face began to swell up, and it was so painful just to look at it.
The strong man didn't dare to hesitate and pounded his chest with his fists.
They didn't dare to stop until Zhang Min called out.
The people who were just scattered here and flirting had gone away, without a trace of them. The noisy and bustling Chunxiao Tower seemed to be split into several pieces in an instant.
Some places are still bustling, while some places are as quiet as a cemetery.
"Okay." Seeing them spitting out blood, Ye Jindian frowned and shouted to stop.
The brothel owner and her thugs didn't stop.
Ye Jindian turned her head and met the eyes of the man in the golden mask.
Zhang Min took two breaths to speak: "Didn't you hear my friend talking?"
The brothel owner and her thugs finally stopped with their hands and feet going limp.
Zhang Min waved his hand and asked them to disperse.
After everyone had left, he looked down at her, his voice much gentler: "Can't bear it?"
"Not really. But smashing her face is useless. It can only make me feel better. A person trapped in a wolf's den won't be able to escape." Ye Jindian muttered softly, "If you really have the ability, you should wipe this place out."
She showed the token of the Military Equipment Bureau, but the madam still dared to kidnap her in public. If it was just a weak young man, how could she break the deadlock?
She is now increasingly worried about her husband.
My husband is beautiful but weak. What should I do if I meet such an unreasonable and forceful person?
Zhang Min heard her last muttering clearly, but he pretended not to know and said, "If she smashes her face and it helps you calm down, then it's worth it."
Ye Jindian: “…”
Does the Right Prime Minister have any quirks?
She looked at him with difficulty: "Prime Minister, I have a husband."
She has no interest in infidelity.
Zhang Min: "The husband you're talking about is that drunkard who can't even carry anything and can only read two pedantic books?"
Secret Guard Goshawk: "..."
When the prime minister gets angry, he doesn't even show mercy when scolding me.
"He's not!" Ye Jindian glared at him, "Don't speak ill of my husband!"
Her husband is fine.
Zhang Min was neither amused nor angry at the way she protected her child. He just took two deep breaths, turned around and pounded his fist on the wall.
Ye Jindian heard a muffled sound and silently took two steps back.
Zhang Min looked back at her, avoiding me like the plague. He was more angry than amused, and he laughed out loud: "I just helped you out, and you're avoiding me? Where's your conscience?"
When dealing with a "weak scholar", isn't it strange that he has a conscience?
"Thank you, my Lord." Ye Jindian bowed politely, "I will definitely come to your house with gifts to express my gratitude someday."
She took a few steps back and turned around to look for her husband.
After walking a few steps, she thought that there were probably many people in Chunxiao Tower whom she couldn't afford to offend. If she accidentally offended the dignitaries, she would be in trouble.
But if——
She turned to look at Zhang Min, lowered her eyes and thought for a few breaths, and felt that she could take advantage of him.
"Prime Minister..."
Zhang Min leaned against the wall with his arms folded: "Aren't you going to leave? Why don't you leave?"
Ye Jindian clasped her hands together and saluted: "I wonder if the Prime Minister is free, but I have a favor to ask."
"What's up?"
"I would like to ask the Prime Minister to help me find my husband."
Zhang Min: “…”
The golden mask was facing her direction, but there was no movement for a long time.
He, the right prime minister who was rumored to have killed countless people, had clearly expressed his favor to her, but she ordered him to find a "husband" for her.
Is this fair? ! !
"Is it not possible?" Ye Jindian didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with this. Seeing that he didn't respond, she bowed respectfully and said, "Sorry to bother you then."
She turned around and was about to leave without any regrets.
Zhang Min gritted his teeth and said, "Look for it! I'll personally take you to look for it room by room!"
