Chapter 125: Gentle Township
Ling Yun took Zi Ruo to the street, the street was full of people, bustling, lively, Zi Ruo was afraid of being noticed, so she had to keep her head down from time to time, hiding behind Ling Yun, like a shy little daughter-in-law.
Ling Yun looked back and saw that she looked cute, and couldn't help but take her slender jade hand, Zi Ruo just wanted to break free, only to hear Ling Yun whisper: "In case you struggle to lose your makeup, and someone finds out that you are a delicate little lady, what should you do?"
Zi Ruo was afraid that he would lose the makeup on his face, so he had to let him hold his little hand, not daring to break free.
In the end, Ling Yun simply pulled Zi Ruo side by side, clasped his hands together, and felt the temperature of each other's palms, which made Zi Ruo feel very ashamed in his heart: "This bastard, taking advantage of the fact that there are many people on the street, I don't dare to struggle for fear of being exposed, so I act so recklessly, in case I get to a place where no one is, then I have to do it." ”
Some passers-by on the street saw Lingyun's son-in-law, snuggling tightly beside him, a little scholar who was a head shorter, with an ambiguous look on his face, and the two of them clasped their hands tightly, and couldn't help but speculate in their hearts that this son-in-law brother was a man with dragon impotence and broken sleeves! Some of them were traditional and conservative people, and they couldn't help but be surprised and disgusted, and looked at the two of them with strange eyes.
Ling Yun didn't care about the eyes of passers-by, that smooth little hand was held in the palm of his hand, and a few wisps of fragrant sweat appeared, smooth and handy, soft as jade, and he refused to let go no matter what.
A tingling pain came from his hand, Ling Yun looked down, and there was a red finger print on his hand, like a half-crescent, swollen and painful, and he couldn't help but glance at Ziruo.
Ziruo was held by his little hand, stroked and played, held back the anger in his heart, pinched his finger violently, saw that he was so painful that his face was hideous, the anger in his heart dissipated at once, and a smug smile appeared on his face, especially looking at Ling Yun's indescribable gaze, and said softly: "I know that the flower has thorns, I have to reach out and pick it, who is to blame?"
"You scholar, if it weren't for the crowds on the street, I would have to spank you. Lingyun Qi said.
Zi Ruo was afraid that he would make a rude move in front of everyone, and he didn't dare to retaliate again, anyway, he had already let him know the sting, so he let him hold his little hand, fortunately, Ling Yun didn't hug him in public after that.
The two came to the outside of Wanxian Tower, and the old bustard went out to greet him enthusiastically, Ziruo was slightly surprised in her heart: "This old woman has been whipped by Master Chu, but she is still alive, but she is tenacious." ”
She saw the old bustard greeting Ling Yun one by one, and her heart was full of puzzlement.
At this time, it was already early afternoon, and Wanxian Lou generally opened at noon, and the number of customers gradually increased at this time. Wanxian Lou in order to meet the Mei Niang redemption auction event, has turned away the general guests, today Wanxian Lou only accepts the distinguished guests of the post, so the rich businessmen in the building of all kinds of brocade clothes, either rich or expensive, gathered together, lively and extraordinary.
The first floor of Wanxian Building is the main venue of the redemption auction, and there is a stage paved with red cloth against the wall in the center. There are more than a dozen tables under the table, and only the dignitaries participating in the redemption auction are allowed to be seated.
The second floor is a place for onlookers. Because the news of Mei Niang's redemption has already spread throughout the Xianmen Mansion, the old bustard Bao Niang is extremely smart, for fear of selling this cash cow, so he instructed the servants to send invitations everywhere, inviting some dignitaries who were originally good with Mei Niang to come to help, if any family is willing to redeem the best, otherwise to support a scene, it is also very conducive to selling at a good price. These people did not necessarily participate in the redemption, so they were arranged to the second floor.
The tables gradually filled up with people, and because Ling Yun had no idea of participating in the auction, he sneaked up to the second floor with Ziruo and sat in the corner, as if waiting to see a lively show.
The second floor has been full of people, this group of people do not participate in the redemption auction of the Oiran lady, it is a group of people who came to support the field, and Mei Niang has also had dealings with Mei Niang in the past, today Mei Niang Congliang, this group of people came to see the excitement, and the second came to give some gifts ranging from a few taels to several hundred taels, as a gift of silver from Liang.
Ziruo secretly asked, "Why does the old bustard call you Engong?"
"It's not that you were going to kill her at the beginning, I said a word to help her intercede. Ling Yun was still holding Ziruo's little hand in his hand, and he was still reluctant to let go, the smooth and tender feeling was really fragrant and jade-like, which was hard to give up.
Ziruo seemed to be accustomed to being held by him, and finally stopped struggling, and said lightly: "I see, you are quite good at doing favors, I was almost pushed into the fire pit by her, and fell into the dust, but I didn't kill her, but in the end I was still a villain." ”
"This is called fate, this thing is wonderful, it can't be done sooner or later, people have to believe it, it's not that you almost fell into the dust, I can't be a hero to save the beauty, let alone hold your little hand today. Ling Yun said stupidly.
Ziruo's face turned red and said, "Phew, you just want to see the color, and you still claim to be a hero, there is a hero like you who holds people's hands and doesn't let go?"
"The hero is sad to pass the beauty pass, of course I can't get over it, I can only fall under the pomegranate skirt, live to be your father-in-law, to be your dead ghost. Ling Yun whispered in his ear.
Zi Ruo was afraid that others would find out her identity, so she only dared to speak in a low voice, so she sounded very gentle, and said, "I'll settle accounts with you when I go back." "It's like the most wanton coquettishness.
The two sat in the corner of the second floor, next to the railing, and could see the stage and panorama on the first floor, but Ling Yun had no intention of looking down, only intoxicated by the gentle net in front of him, intoxicated by it, and couldn't extricate himself.
The invitations sent by the old bustard are all over the Xianmen Mansion and the counties, not to mention how many wealthy sons will come out of the Xianmen Mansion, the four princes of Jingnan County, but all received the invitations, bathed in incense early, put on a high-quality Shu embroidery, gathered together, and prepared to go to Wanxian Tower.
Hu Kui's face was full of pride, standing in front of the door of Hu Mansion, and said complacently: "I often heard that Mei Niang is a first-class Oiran of Wanxian Building, peerless, on appearance, no one in Xianmen Mansion is unmatched, on talent, can sing and dance, poetry and painting are good, even the talents from the capital are full of praise, today to redeem yourself, I am determined to win, you three don't rob me." ”。
"That is, in terms of wealth, who can compare to you Hu Dashao, not to mention that now that Master Hu has gone out and has not returned, all the property in the family is in the hands of Hu Dashao, and it is not easy to redeem a small Oiran. Xing Shangrong stood aside and touted that his family's main tea business was not very good recently, he had lost a lot of money, and although Hu Kui didn't know anything about business, he had excellent luck, and many industries below were very prosperous, and his wealth was more than twice as rich as when Hu Yinshan was at home, so he had a flattering attitude towards Hu Kui.
Hu Kui thought of his father who had been away from home for a few months, his face changed slightly, and said: "When my father was at home, the family education was strict, I never set foot in Wanxian Building, this month, haha, I almost stayed in Wanxian Lou every night, if it wasn't for the lack of supplementation, my body was too overdrawn, I wouldn't have returned to Hufu from Wanxian Lou last night, otherwise, when the Oiran lady returned to Wanxian Lou last night, I was the first to taste it!
