Bianjing, whether it is a scholar or a small citizen in the market, likes to drink tea and listen to music in his free time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
And Miss Xin'er's song is the best among the girls in the Qinglou in Bianjing City in recent years, the rich and noble people are proud to invite her into the house to play music, and the common people are proud to have heard her music.
Therefore, within two days, the first night of Miss Xin'er's auction spread all over Bianjing City, and became the most common thing people talked about before and after dinner.
July 20th.
The sun had just set, and the street outside the Wanxiang Building was surrounded by water.
Men, women, and children all craned their necks to look in, for fear of missing something.
Xu Promise did not expect this to happen, and after dinner, he lay down on the couch and ate the fruit very calmly. At the end of Youmo, seeing that the sky was dark, he went out with July and a huge amount of Jiaozi.
The evening incense building is full of lanterns, which is particularly eye-catching on the street.
When the two of them arrived, they could only see a black figure outside the Wanxiang Building.
Fortunately, they were thin and strong, and after a lot of effort, they finally squeezed downstairs.
The two of them were originally dressed in men's clothes, holding folding fans, dressed up with oily heads, and looked like rich families, but they squeezed all the way like this, and they looked a little embarrassed.
They looked at each other, tore at their robes, opened their folding fans in unison, and strode inside.
I didn't want to, so I only walked two steps, and before I even stepped through the door, I was blocked by an old bustard covered in fragrant flowers and branches with a group fan.
The old bustard looked them up and down, and said in a lengthened tone: "Two young masters, do you have a predetermined position? If the location had not been decided earlier, there would be no box at this time, and there would only be a few seats left on the first floor, each with a hundred seats." ”
July's eyelids jumped after hearing this, and he attached it to Xu Yu's ear, and whispered: "Lady, this hasn't started the auction yet, and one seat is a hundred, so how much does she get." "If the money she brought is not enough, won't she make the lady lose face?
Promise said with a mouth shape: "It doesn't matter how much. ”
July nodded, thinking that it would be a good thing for them that these seats were sold for a high price.
Xu Promise turned his head, handed the sign he got a few days ago to the old bustard, and said in a male voice: "We have booked a private room, Furong Pavilion." ”
The old bustard took the front and back of the sign and looked at it carefully, and when he looked up, his face was instantly full of smiles, he took out the handkerchief on his waist and shook it, and shouted: "Come on, take the two masters up." ”
Today's evening incense building is as lively as the day of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the voices of people are boiling, and the sound of selling, talking and laughing is full of inside and outside the evening fragrance building.
Xu promised to sit down in the box, look at Erlang's legs, and watch the movement downstairs.
Seeing one familiar figure after another coming in downstairs, she sighed: "Most of what these sons are carrying in their arms is the family's money, even if they redeem people, they don't dare to take them back." ”
July nodded on the side, wanting to say something but stopping.
At that time, several prostitutes and girls appeared in the hall playing music and singing.
Several women, holding the piano or holding Xiao, slowly walked to the square platform in the hall.
In an instant, the evening fragrance building, which was originally laughing and noisy, quieted down, and only the trickle of music remained.
Promise stretched out his head to watch, and to the music, four women in pink clothes shook their long sleeves, slowly came out from behind, and danced to the music.
These four dancing women, with thin waists and wide hips, are full of charm with a smile and a smile, and everyone in the audience is staring at each other.
After the music stopped, the old bustard appeared, she held a fan in both hands and put it on her chest, and said with a smile: "Thank you for coming to the scene today, our first night of Miss Xin'er will be handed over to you today." ”
Her voice fell, and a soft voice came from behind the box on the second floor that was blocked by a screen: "Xin'er is here, salute all Langjun." ”
People looked at the box, and through the screen, a faint shadow could be seen.
In an instant, as if a pot had exploded, people stretched their necks and stared at the screen with wide eyes, as if they were staring hard like this, and their eyes could see Miss Xin'er through the screen.
Promise didn't look at the box, but looked next door with a confused expression.
She hears better than ordinary people, and she can hear what the people in the box next door say.
"I heard that it was the Xiao family Shilang who wanted to redeem Miss Xin'er, so there was such a show?"
"How many people are worried about Miss Xin'er, it's not that he Xiao Shilang can redeem it if he wants to. ”
Wang Jiulang was in the box opposite, and I heard that he took the money from his mother's dowry, and this time it was bound to happen. ”
"Didn't he want to marry the county lord of Jiaren?"
"Heh, that's a wife, this Xin'er girl, it's different again......"
Hearing the conversation next door, Promise frowned and glanced at July.
July obviously heard it too, looked at Xu Promise embarrassedly, and said, "Lady, there are indeed rumors outside that Shiro-kun wants to redeem Miss Xin'er, and I told you the first time, you may have misunderstood what I meant." ”
Xu Yu didn't react to July's words, hung his arms on the railing, looked at the people below who were extremely excited, and said, "If we knew he was going to ransom people, we wouldn't have to come." ”
July looked innocent, but the lady still didn't understand.
After hesitating again and again, she attached herself to Xu Promise's ear and said, "Lady, others are saying that the two of them have a personal relationship, not that it is a question of whether to redeem or not. ”
Promise instantly bounced up and sat up straight, almost touching July's nose.
"What have you heard? ”
Qiyue's words turned around twice, and when he saw that Xu Yu was in a hurry, he said: "A few days ago, I went to the shop near Xiao's Mansion, and there was a shopkeeper who said that the people in Wanxianglou went to Xiao's Mansion every day to inquire about the news, and asked him what kind of ring he was, it seems that Xiao Shilangjun personally gave Miss Xin'er. However, I saw that Xiao Shilangjun didn't come just now, I'm afraid that these people are talking nonsense. ”
Hearing this, Xu Xu supported his chin with one hand and touched the ring around his neck with the other.
She believed that Xiao Yuan had no personal affection for Miss Xin'er, and this ring was also given to her by Xiao Yuan, why would anyone say that it was for Miss Xin'er?
Miss Xin'er is a point of contact for Xiao Yuan in the past, and with his character, he will not let Miss Xin'er, who does things for herself, be redeemed by others.
But if he ransomes Miss Xin'er with a lot of money, won't he respond to the rumors outside, proving that he does have an affair with Miss Xin'er, so he came to ransom her?
He ransomes Miss Xin'er, and Miss Xin'er will follow him......
In the flash of light, Xu Promise figured out Miss Xin'er's intentions.
The days since Xiao Yuan's enlistment can be counted with both hands, and Miss Xin'er will come out like this, which will do him all kinds of harm but no benefit.
Xu Xu said with a dark face: "In that case, then I still have to buy her first night, so that she can know what self-inflicted evil is not to live." ”
"Lady. ”
July was on the side, feeling the promise with a faint anger in the calm, and the words on his lips didn't dare to ask, what can you do on the first night of buying a courtesan?
"Is there enough money?" said Promise, tapping his index finger on the railing, looking at July with the same gaze as a knife.
July was promised to look trembling, and said: "Enough, enough, if it's not enough, I see our shopkeeper downstairs, and let him pick it up again when the time comes." ”
Lady, if you want to kill with your eyes, please don't look at me, look at Miss Xin'er behind the screen.
Promise nodded.
The man who dared to calculate her was simply looking for death. (To be continued.) )
