Chapter 21: Hope is humble
In this way, another period of calm has passed, Zhuang Fei has time to take some time every day to discuss some four books, five classics and six arts to cultivate sentiment, compared to what Zhuang Fei did before, now the two get along, it is more like the situation of Qi Jing and Zhuang Qinghong before, but Zhuang Fei has always respected Zhuang Qinghong, and he doesn't want Qi Jing to be like him, and he has to take advantage from time to time.
Every time it is above board, Hongli has also been vigilant, arranging people to secretly monitor, and after discovering the situation, he feels that Zhuang Fei is not more loyal than usual, as long as he treats Zhuang Qinghong well, he does not worry about Zhuang Fei and works hard.
Although it is still staring, it is much more relaxed than before.
Qi Jing came to it twice, and every time he came, he sent some rare things to Zhuang Fei, Zhuang Fei accepted them, and Zhuang Fei didn't stay in the Oiran Pavilion these two times, and Qi Jing was not angry, although he didn't leave Zhuang Fei in the Oiran Pavilion, but others didn't stay either, right?
Two months are approaching, Qi Jing once again chartered the Oiran Pavilion, the high table in the side hall is full of treasures, and the ear room next to the bedroom is full of delicacies.
That night, the Oiran Pavilion took the lamp.
Again, looking back at the life of Wan Jiao, the night * double shadow shaking.
***
At dawn, a hint of gold shines through the paper window onto the smooth brocade quilt.
Qi Jing opened his eyes, felt the warmth in his arms, the silky and delicate touch in his palms, got dressed and sat on the edge of the bed, a smile on his lips, a hook of his hand to hold a wisp of green silk and play with it, and depicted the beautiful face of the person in his arms with his eyes.
Zhuang Fei opened his eyes, and saw Qi Jing's smiling eyes, blinked his eyes twice, and didn't care about Qi Jing's teasing, he lowered his eyes and sat up.
"Three thousand dais of silk, the complexion is beautiful. Half-open and smiling, bending the waist for one person. Qi Jing's eyes flashed with a touch of amazement, he lowered his head and left a kiss on Zhuang Fei's lips, and went out in a comfortable mood.
The people of the Jin Wangfu sent another reward, and Hongli smiled proudly, who can match her Oiran now in the world? Even if Bixilou raises a new Oiran next year, I'm afraid it will be the light of rice grains.
Hongli became more and more satisfied with Zhuang Fei, and thought in her heart that she should be more generous to Zhuang Fei.
The money rewarded by the guest, whether it is to the Oiran himself or directly sent to the Changfeng Building, the Oiran can get only half of the hand, which is kept by the Oiran himself, and he spends it how he wants, and the rest of the money is at the disposal of Hongli, at least three of them become the Oiran to buy a cage, and the brocade treasures sent by the guests, the Oiran can be arranged by himself, of course, it is absolutely not allowed to give away or sell.
Therefore, an Oiran can never redeem himself on his own, because the money he can get is very limited, and the more he earns, the more valuable he is.
Just like high-interest-loan, while the money in hand increases, it gradually cannot see what kind of place the rising value has reached.
Zhuang Fei returned to the Scarlet Pavilion by the little waiter, and did not go to Zhuang Qinghong today.
Knowing what was going on this day, Zhuang Fei would go later, and the two of them tacitly kept silent about this matter.
***
Three days later, Yingyue Changfeng Mansion finally ushered in another extraordinary guest, whose identity was no worse than Qi Jing's, and his rights were greater than Qi Jing's.
He wrapped the Oiran Pavilion, recruited the Lingren is a famous team in the capital, and spent a lot of money to create a set of high-quality jade jewelry, hairpins, crowns, foreheads, tassel curtains decorated headdresses, wrenches, belts, wear, anklets, priceless, more cloud satin Suzhou embroidery famous master tailor-made clothes, dozens of skilled masters hundreds of tailors, embroidery girls overnight rushed to work for more than a month to complete, holding these enough to impress anyone in the flower street, sitting in the Oiran Pavilion ear room waiting for Zhuang Fei to meet.
Zhuang Fei was happy with Zhuang Qinghong, so a little waiter came to report and asked Oiran to go to meet quickly, Zhuang Fei's smile dimmed, nodded and glanced at Zhuang Qinghong and went out. Zhuang Qinghong lowered his eyes, the fragrance of plum blossom cake in his mouth was still there, but the taste became bitter.
Until he couldn't see Zhuang Fei's back, Zhuang Qinghong took out his hand behind his back, and his slender and good-looking fingers held a piece of plum blossom cake that had been bitten, the plum blossom cake was eaten by Zhuang Fei, and the corners seemed to be a little wet, Zhuang Qinghong's face was expressionless, and he put the plum blossom cake to his lips, his eyes were long.
It's fast, Zhuang Fei, it's fast, Zhuang Fei, you have to wait for me.
***
The waiter informed Zhuang Fei of the details, Zhuang Fei thought about it, went back to the house and changed his clothes, the Oiran is good enough to wear on weekdays, but it is not gorgeous enough, so it is not good to see such a noble His Royal Highness King Ding, he will go with the most beautiful posture, so that Hongli can be more assured.
King Ding was the only remaining vassal king of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and he had a rich fief and land on the coast of the East China Sea, where his majesty was higher than that of the emperor.
He was the younger brother of the former emperor, more than 30 years younger than the former emperor, and because of the lack of maternal health when he was born, he was diagnosed as unable to have an afterlife. There is a big age difference, but the two brothers have an excellent relationship, and the emperor can ascend the throne, and this younger brother has a lot of credit. After the first emperor became the emperor, he took pity on his younger brother, and when his sons competed for the prince, he simply made the younger brother the prince and king, so that he could enjoy the blessings, so as not to be moved into the battle for the throne, and also to prevent the young brother from mixing in with any thoughts that he shouldn't have, and stirring the water more muddy.
But this Dingwang, can get the title of "Ding", it is not a false name, he is also a rapid retreat of the knowledge of the opportunity, seeing that the form of the court is very severe, when he was a teenager, he was on the same battlefield with the emperor's henchmen, and led the Great Zhou guards to make the soul of death immortal in the northwest wilderness, which was completely destroyed when he died, and once again expanded the territory of the Zhou Dynasty, and with this merit, he was successfully named the prince king, away from the whirlpool of the battle for the throne, it can be said that he is not brave and not smart. King Ding is destined to have no children, and when King Ding dies, the court can take back the coast of the East China Sea again, and there is not much loss.
For example, today has long been leveled, and this famous prince and king has also enjoyed ten years of leisure, and his reputation is no longer obvious compared to that year. In the past ten years, he has not made any great achievements, and naturally fell silent.
It's been a few hours, and there are more examples of big and not necessarily good, and the people under the peace don't care if he is good or not.
What's more, this king of Ding, who was supposed to appear a year later, fell in love with Zhuang Qinghong at first sight, and then admired the person who fell in love with Zhuang Qinghong...... Now I spend a lot of money on him, and I don't know ......
While thinking about it, the waiter had already changed into a very gorgeous outfit for him, Zhuang Fei looked at the mirror, nodded with satisfaction, and walked away with the waiter's hand.
The subordinate couldn't enter the room, Zhuang Fei pushed open the door by himself, and walked in, but he didn't see a person kneeling at the door, with jealousy and pleasure in his long and narrow eyes.
Zhu Zhu lowered his head and showed a smile, Zhuang Fei, are you a cheap slave proud now? I hope you'll be so calm for a while!
In the ear room, there are no high-legged tables and chairs, they are all low tables, and people sit on the ground, Zhuang Fei sat opposite Qi Xiqing after his luggage, "Zhuang Fei is late, I hope the adults don't mind." ”
Qi Xi saw Zhuang Fei, a flash of light crossed his eyes, and he nodded, "Naturally not, what does it matter if you smile for the Pomeranian, wait?" As he spoke, he personally uncovered the lid of the brocade box and showed Zhuang Fei the priceless ornaments inside, "I don't know if these things can still fit your mind and enrich your cage, can they make you smile?" ”
Zhuang Fei had a smile in his eyes, I have to say, Qi Jing and Qi Xi, the two uncles and nephews, are really a family, they all have the same idea, thinking that people who forget their worries are willing to pick up guests, so they can get a person's favor and even fall in love with some beautiful things?
Qi Xichang is good-looking, and there is a calm aura on his body, like a tiger, maybe it is ten years of rest that has softened him a lot. At the age of fourteen or fifteen, he galloped across the field, and then went to one side to close the door and become the emperor of the soil, although his scheming was not bad, he was impatient and secretive, but there was a kind of straightforwardness...... Although his expression was admiring, there was also a hint of contempt, which was not hidden.
Zhuang Fei pursed his lips, raised his eyes to look at Qi Xi and bowed down gently, "I can't be praised by adults, courtesy, Zhuang Fei, I dare not accept it." ”
Qi Xi raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Isn't it just the cage that you deserve? This king has heard about some things, and he is very interested. "It's really interesting, there is no hesitation, there is no nostalgia and greedy rejection, this is what Zhu Zhu said, slave born greedy for the sexually shameless Oiran of the master? This is what the man said, a little servant who was kind to him but too simple?
Ears listen, and it is indeed false.
Sure enough, he was very interested in him.
"An Oiran is never something to be praised for not having what is in the cage and how much value it is in." Zhuang Fei leaned over again, his uncoiled hair slid down along the movement, moving slightly with his movements, which made his demeanor calm and white as jade.
"Since the adults think that the Oiran can only be proud of the cage, I think that the adults and Zhuang Fei will not speculate, so Zhuang Fei will say goodbye first, and invite [recruiters] to serve the adults, and they will be willing to offer the adults a much more beautiful and wonderful smile than Zhuang Fei." After Zhuang Fei finished speaking, he got up and left, and ordered the recruiter at the door, his face was no different from usual, and he calmly left the Oiran Pavilion.
[Recruiter], if the Oiran refused to even sit with him, he called other young people in the building as companions, for such a long time, it was the first time that Zhuang Fei had used a recruiter.
In the ear room, the attendant waiting outside the door thought that he would be annoyed inside, but suddenly there was a burst of happy laughter, and Zhu Zhu's smug expression became complicated, and he carefully pushed open the door and walked in.
Zhuang Fei walked on the road, sent a little waiter to Hongli first, listening to Qi Xi's words, it seemed that there were people inside their Changfeng Building, revealing his origin, this matter cannot be let go, no matter who dares to say such a thing, he should also be mentally prepared, right?
Whoever wants him to lose the position of Oiran, Zhuang Fei can't tolerate it, and now this is the only thing that can guarantee his contact with Zhuang Qinghong.
