rd!"Big brother, this…this money is too much!"From childhood to adulthood, Bai Sheng and his group had never seen a single piece of silver before. In their pockets at most there were three or five cop...Although Wang Po runs this teahouse, she doesn't actually make a living selling tea. Her real professions are as a matchmaker and midwife. That's why, throughout Yanggu County, she knows all the prominent young women and women in general.

Mentioning Wu Dalang's wife, Wang Po, that sly woman’s eyes twitched slightly. She smiled and said: “The official West Gate mentioned a young mistress surnamed Gao, whose given name is Jin Lian.”

Ximen Hu hurriedly said, "Mother! Quickly tell me, what's the story behind this Gao Jinhua"

Xi Men Hu is a seasoned veteran in the world of flowers, spending every day at that Qinglou, lost in revelry. Out of thirty days a month, twenty-seven or eight are spent not at home.

Knowing this official's importance, Wang Po guessed that he must be anxious like a cat being scratched—itchy and restless!

She smiled and said, “Sir, don't look down on Da Guanlian just because she is an ordinary commoner now. Her family background is very deep.”

“Oh Come on, tell me!”

"This Gao Jinlian's great-grandfather was Gao Huai, but he was a national hero of our Song Dynasty and a veteran official for two dynasties!"

Ximen Hu was stunned! Gao Huai De had participated in the Chenqiao Incident during Emperor Taizu's reign. He was Emperor Taizu's brother-in-law and a trusted general. After his death, he was posthumously awarded the title of Duke of Bohai.

His great name, who doesn't know it, who hasn't heard of it!

This woman's background, need not be said. Ximen Hu knows full well the fate that awaits Gao Jinlian and her family.

Originally, the Gao family was powerful and wealthy in the Song Dynasty. However, Gao Jinlian's father offended the powerful minister Gao Qiu and was persecuted by corrupt officials. All the male members of the family were branded on their faces and sent to serve as soldiers on the border. The women, young and old, were treated like commodities and sold off cheaply!

The Wang Po said: "When the Gao family fell on hard times, this Jin Lian was only 7 years old. She was sold around and ended up as a maidservant in a household in Qinghe County. But the mistress of that household, ah, she was a real tigress, fierce beyond belief! Every day she beat and scolded Gao Jin Lian relentlessly. In the end, she gave Gao Jin Lian to the short-statured Wu Dalang."

After hearing Gao Jinlian's past, Ximen He "bang!" slammed his fist on the tea table.

"Mother-in-law, this Gao Jinhua is wanted by a high official!"

"Go tell that Wu Dalang, if he is willing to give up his Gao Jinlian, I, Ximen the big official, will personally send him a thousand pieces of gold!"

As they spoke, a sinister look flashed across Ximen He's face. He gritted his teeth and said coldly, "If he disagrees, I'll make sure he doesn't live to see tomorrow!"

Wang Po quickly stepped forward to appease him, "Sir, please calm down. You don't need to brandish your sword and saber if you want to take this Gao Jinhua. Just a little scheme, and I guarantee she will come into your arms willingly!"

"Really" exclaimed Xi Men Huan upon hearing this.

Wang Po said: "Every day, Wu Dalang keeps Gao Jinhua locked at home for fear that she will be taken away by another man if she goes out."

Little did he know, the more he acted this way, the more Gao Jilian yearned to leave home. And to be honest, who in their right mind would choose Wu Dalang

"Tomorrow I will have Gao Jinhua come to the shop and help me make some women's clothing. Then Mr. Ximen can sit here with me and drink tea..."

The more Wang Po spoke about Xi Men, the more excited she became. Finally, she slammed her hand on the table. “Good! If this goes through, I’ll give my godmother a thousand coins!”

Yanggu County streets are bustling with pedestrians and traffic.

As Gao Jinhua passed by a clothing store, her beautiful eyes were filled with longing as she looked at the colorful and flamboyant clothes inside.

Wuchou reached out to take her hand and was about to go in, but Gao Jinlian stumbled back: "Big brother, the clothes in this shop are quite expensive."

On the way here, Wu Chao mentioned to Gao Jinlian that he would buy her a new dress.

Gao Jinlian hadn't touched new fabric in a long time. She thought to herself that if she could have just one new coarse hemp garment, she would be content. The brightly colored silk garments in this shop were beyond her wildest dreams.

"My lady, if we're going to buy something, let's buy the best!"

After finishing, Wu Chao pulled Gao Jinlian into the store.

"My lady, feel free to choose any of these clothes!"

Although she said that, Gao Jinlian avoided the expensive clothes when choosing her outfit and finally selected a piece of clothing made from rougher material.

"Eldest brother, I want this one."

Wu Chao smiled slightly and said to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, please pack that sky-blue silk garment for me."

Just now, when Gao Jinhua was picking out clothes, Wu Chao noticed that her eyes lingered on the sky-blue silk dress for a while.

In Wu Chao's impression, Gao Jinlian should be a woman who loves the rich and dislikes the poor. But the one before him now, she is able to manage both the outer and inner affairs of the household, being virtuous and gentle.

Such a person is worth Wu Chao protecting for a lifetime!

“Big brother, this garment is too expensive.” Gao Jinlian didn’t expect Wu Chao to see through her little thoughts. She felt a little scared inside, but mostly she was worried about Wu Chao. After all, the family's income was borne by Wu Chao alone. The more money she spent, the more burden Wu Chao would bear.

As long as my lady loves it, don't say it's just a piece of clothing, even if you want the stars in the sky, I will pluck them down for you.

Gao Jinlian had never heard such brazen and passionate words before. Her delicate cheeks flushed instantly, her eyes sparkling with shyness and alluring charm.

Wu Chao paid generously, and the couple were about to go out happily when two women entered from outside.

Leading the way was a voluptuous woman with an alluring figure.

She was dressed in fine silks and satins, her jeweled hairpin particularly new and dazzling.

Her facial features, though not as exquisite and flawless as Gao Jinhua's, were also a rare beauty. Especially on her was a mature charm that Gao Jinhua, a girl who had never experienced the world, lacked.

Her collar was slightly open, revealing the two mounds on her chest, towering like mountains. As she walked, with her willow-like waist swaying from side to side, they rose and fell, trembling gently.

At a single glance, one's gaze is drawn deep into the valley amidst the hills, unable to extricate oneself.

“Well hello there, Miss Ximen!”

As soon as the shopkeeper saw the woman, he hurried to the door to greet her. He politely invited her in.

When the shopkeeper was talking to the woman, Wu Chao was surprised to discover that this plump and fleshy woman was actually Xi Menhe's wife, Wu Yuemei!

Wu Chao had originally thought that Wu Yuemei would be a fat and ugly shrew, but unexpectedly she turned out to be so "delicious and tender", "fair and juicy"!

Xi Men Hu disregarded her completely, spending his days in the brothel indulging in drunken revelry. He was truly squandering his talent!

At that moment, a gust of wind blew in from outside the door, and suddenly a strong smell of fox stink emanated from this "Mrs. Xi Men".

Gao Jinlian's jade-like onion fingers covered her nose, she took two steps back. Although there were words in her heart, she couldn't say them out loud, after all, it would hurt someone's pride.

The shop owner clearly knew Wu Yuemei had body odor. He hurried from behind the counter and took out a silk pouch, respectfully handing it to her: “Lady Ximen, this is the latest scented sachet.”

Looking at this, Wu Yuemei hurriedly stuffed the sachet into her clothes, a hint of panic in her eyes. Wu Chao smiled.

The maidservants on the side saw this and glared angrily at Wu Chao: "What are you laughing at You rogue!"

Wu Chaoqing coughed lightly, touched his nose and said, "I think Madam laughs at this approach as it only treats the symptoms without addressing the root cause."initely show them respect. From now on, keep an eye on the servants around West Gate Crane. As soon as he makes a move, inform me immediately."Besides, have your men find an unoccupied house and prepa...
