Chapter 7: Selling Yourself
The old bustard of Cuiyan Pavilion is called Yanniang, and it has been more than 40 years since he entered Cuiyan Pavilion at the age of seven, and the time he has been sitting in the position of the old bustard for nearly ten years. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
I still remember that at the beginning, Cuiyan Pavilion was the top Fengyue place in Chang'an City, and countless literati and artists came here to pick up their pens, making the reputation of Cuiyan Pavilion far from being as simple as the surface of the green building.
Later, Lingnan came to a Xiaoyao King, and built a luxurious Bliss Building outside Chang'an City, so far the business of Cuiyan Pavilion has been going downhill, but fortunately, the foundation is full, so it has survived to the day of the fall of Xiaoyao King.
"Therefore, to be a man is to be content and happy, don't touch someone you shouldn't mess with, even if the other party is just a poor scholar now, maybe tomorrow he will become the prime minister!"
This sentence is the original words of Lao Yanniang who often instructs the women under her hands, and it is also the capital that she can now sit in this position at the age of fifty.
I remember that on the day when King Xiaoyao was dragged to Xuanwu Gate to be beheaded, this weathered old bustard also took hundreds of women to buy dozens of baskets of eggs and smashed them, and after going back, he asked the landlord to discuss the future development.
"The source of customers has increased sharply, the site is limited, before the new building is built, it should be mainly dignitarate and noble, and then supplemented by literati and scholars, so as to collect money, in order to settle the current location of Cuiyan Pavilion. ”
This sentence scraped away the precious pen and ink on the original wall, coaxed away the scholars from all walks of life who were originally lingering in front of the door, and then wantonly spread the gold brick brocade, and the candles continued to burn all day long, which made the women in the pavilion fall behind.
Although it is a pity that the elegance was earlier, but now that it can gain a firm foothold in Chang'an City, it also responds to the old saying, there must be gains if you lose.
The night of Chang'an shrouded again, with the swaying of the candles in the hall, a wisp of butterfly clothes wandered between the chips, and the old bustard Yanniang stood on the second floor and sighed that youth was hard to find.
"Mom, there is a refugee outside the building who said that he wants to send his relatives into the Cuiyan Pavilion, and I can't make up my mind, so I want to come over and let you take a look. ”
"What does it look like? Cuiyan Pavilion can't accept the next product. ”
"It's like a misty fairy on the ground in nine days, and I have never seen such a beautiful woman in the pavilion for more than ten years. ”
When the old bustard Yanniang heard this, she was obviously stunned, and inexplicably recalled the beautiful woman brought by Zhang Dagongzi earlier, and that time she really hit the golden sign of Cuiyan Pavilion.
As the worker walked through the lobby, he had just stepped out of the door when he saw a hunched refugee blocking the door.
"What about the goods? ”
From the bottom of her heart, she can't look down on this kind of refugee, after all, it is impossible for the golden phoenix to fly out of the chicken coop, and she has understood this truth for more than ten years.
The refugee looked up at the old bustard Yanniang, nodded hurriedly, and then turned around and beckoned to the two slender figures in the corner, so that the two reluctantly dodged.
And at this moment, even the long-standing old bustard Yanniang couldn't help but gasp for the stunning two, and looked suspiciously in the direction of the refugees.
"They're your sisters?"
"Yes, we are the children of a family in Lingnan, because we provoked people who shouldn't be messed with not long ago and were wiped out, so we took our two younger sisters to settle down here, and we were willing to send them to Cuiyan Pavilion to eat, so we thought it was a good way out. ”
There is nothing wrong with this, who can say the things on the rivers and lakes accurately, hearing this, the old bustard Yanniang walked over and looked at the two of them left and right, especially Mo Wushuang's appearance made her nod approvingly again and again.
"Yes, the body is well-proportioned, the skin is white and tender, and the appearance is also unique in ten thousand, only the children of the great family have such qualifications. ”
"It's a pity that there is a kind of savage energy that only martial arts practitioners have in their bones, and when they enter my Cuiyan Pavilion, they will inevitably have to be re-taught. ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Di Huaiying, who was in women's clothing, thinking left and right, but how familiar he looked, and then recalled the earlier banquet, his eyes were immediately stunned, and he was stunned for a while before he said a word.
"Aren't you the male pet that Young Master Zhang brought earlier, why did you come to my Cuiyan Pavilion now?"
Di Huaiying's face was blood-red, and he looked up and stopped talking before he saw Li Yuanfang, who had turned into a refugee, take two steps forward and laughed.
"There was an accident in Zhang's house, and my younger brother naturally couldn't stay like this since he was a child, so he was willing to follow me to find a way out. ”
"Well, it's okay, it's just that you are people who escaped from the rivers and lakes, and you can only hide the identities of the two of you when you enter the Cuiyan Pavilion, but this silver money can't be filled for you. ”
The old bustard Yanniang tried her best to hide her hearty smile, but she still couldn't hold back the muscle twitches on her face, which was very strange from Li Yuanfang's point of view.
"However, now there are very popular male pets in Chang'an City, your brother is also good in women's clothes, and your sister's appearance is even more rare, if you enter the red ......"
Red Qi is a general term for women who sell themselves in the Qinglou, and Di Huaiying immediately shook his head hurriedly when he heard this, for fear that he would regret half his life if he made a mistake.
And Mo Wushuang turned his wrist, indicating that whoever came could run away.
"I don't know if there are two Qingqi in the old mother's Cuiyan Pavilion?" Li Yuanfang blinked and smiled.
"Which one will be the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?" the old bustard squinted and skimmed the two.
"I, I can do everything, and I can heal!" Di Huaiying raised his hand with sparkling eyes.
"You can't, the male pet is not a red man with no future. Saying that, the old bustard looked at Mo Wushuang again.
“...... I can dance with a knife, and I can also use a few sets of palm skills. ”
"I didn't run away, it seems that your brother and sister didn't run away. The old bustard looked at Li Yuanfang's eyes and raised his eyebrows and smiled. "However, the price of the first night is very expensive, and if a good family redeems it in the future, they will definitely not care about it. ”
"Well, that's done! I'm tired of my old mother to take care of my younger siblings, if there is a day when I am prosperous, I will never forget the good of my old mother. ”
Li Yuanfang deliberately didn't look at Di Huaiying's tearful appearance, and bowed to the old bustard. (Mo Wushuang: Don't worry, we will protect Huaiying's little suffering!) (Di Huaiying: Come on, you can't protect yourself!)
"Don't worry, the appearance of these two people is rare in the entire Tang Dynasty, and maybe I will have to rely on the promotion of this little brother and sister in the future!"
Seeing that the business was negotiated, the old bustard breathed a deep sigh of relief and continued to smile.
"Then ask this brother to accompany me to the account room to withdraw the money, and then let a few guys send the two children into the Cuiyan Pavilion, and tomorrow I will invite the discipline to learn some things that girls should learn!" (Di Huaiying: I'm a man!)
"I'm tired of the old mother, but I don't know, what is the price of these two people?"
"The girl will give you three hundred taels, as for the male pet is hard to find, how about I give you four hundred taels at the market price?"
After saying that, the figures of the two gradually drifted apart, and when the guy did not come to pick up the two, Mo Wushuang turned around and grabbed Di Huaiying's collar and said angrily.
"For Mao, you are more expensive than the old lady!" (Di Huaiying: Is this the point of the question?)
