Chapter 545: Hosta
Squeezed through the crowd, An Rong entered the Drunken Immortal Building, only to feel that his breathing was smoother.
Xiao Jin'er stroked her hair bun and stomped her feet angrily, "I was taken away with a hairpin again!" ”
Xiao Li'er covered her mouth and smiled, "Okay, don't be angry, let's find the second cousin to compensate for it in a while, but we came here to add color to him." ”
As she spoke, Xiao Li'er noticed that there were many people looking at them, and she couldn't help blushing.
These people are not here to eat, but to buy back the jewelry given to the girl of Liuxiang Pavilion.
Seeing Xiao Jin'er, a man smiled, "Could it be that a few girls are also frequent visitors to Liuxiang Pavilion?" ”
Xiao Jin'er's face instantly turned cold.
The man continued to laugh, but soon he couldn't laugh anymore, and a man on the side kicked him, "You are looking for death, you are going to die, and you dare to make a joke even about the girl in Xiao Guogong's Mansion?!" ”
The man's face immediately turned white, and he hurriedly apologized, "Joke, don't be angry with the girls." ”
Xiao Jin'er didn't bother with him, and a little servant came over and invited them to go to the private room upstairs.
In the private room, Lian Xuan was lying on the couch invisible, holding fruit in his mouth, counting silver tickets with two hands.
The little servant pushed the door open, and Xiao Jin'er stepped in.
Xiao Li'er shouted, "Second cousin." ”
Lian Xuan glanced at them, and then he frowned, and after counting for a long time, Xiao Li'er interrupted, and he forgot how much it was.
Lian Xuan threw the silver ticket to Bu Da, took the fruit in his mouth in his hand, and said. "You count."
Then, Lian Xuan walked over and said, "Why are you here now?" ”
Xiao Jin'er didn't have a good air, "This street is blocked, and the carriage can't pass at all, we came here." ”
Xiao Jin'er said, Xiao Li'er nodded and said, "That's it, except for the Lantern Festival." I've never seen such a congested street. ”
said. Xiao Li'er smiled playfully, "Second cousin, you're going to the battlefield, you go." Kyoto is not bustling anymore. ”
Lian Xuan smiled sneered. Then he glared at Xiao Li'er and said. "It's not big or small, are you making fun of your cousin like this?"
Hearing Lian Xuan say that it was neither big nor small, a room of people rolled their eyes at him in unison.
The corners of Lian Xuan's mouth twitched twice. Stop talking.
At this time, someone knocked on the door, "Lord Shizi, the housekeeper of the Xu Mansion has sent you silver." ”
Lian Xuan nibbled on the fruit and said, "Let him in." ”
The door creaked open, and a man of about forty-five or sixteen years of age entered, dressed in a green coat and with a shrewdness in his gentle eyes.
He stepped forward and respectfully greeted Lian Xuan, and then gave An Rong and Xiao Jin'er a few salutes.
The etiquette is thoughtful, so that people can't find faults.
Moreover, he has a smile on his face all the time, giving people the feeling that he has a good temper and can't fight back and scold back.
The corners of An Rong's mouth rose slightly, and the bottom of his eyes revealed a look of watching a good show.
Lian Xuan knocked on the table while nibbling on the fruit, "Put it down." ”
Manager Xu hurriedly took the brocade box handed over by the little servant behind him, and gently placed Lian Xuan in front of him, "Lord Shizi, please forgive me, my lord has been at home on leave for the past two days, and he has done his best to raise silver, almost everything he can borrow has been borrowed, and he barely managed to scrape together ...... 440,000 taels of silver tickets." ”
The Xu family owes Lian Xuan 540,000 taels and gives 440,000 taels, so there is still a difference of 100,000 taels.
Lian Xuan opened the brocade box, took out the silver ticket, and counted it casually, no more, no less, exactly 440,000 taels.
"There are still 100,000 taels left," Lian Xuan casually threw the silver ticket in the brocade box.
Manager Xu hurriedly said, "Lord Shizi, my lord really tried his best, even the Empress Dowager Xu and King Qi, who could borrow everything, and some house deeds in the mansion were sold a lot, but 540,000 taels of silver was too much, and the mansion did its best to only get the 440,000 taels, and now even the young master's monthly money has been reduced by half......." ”
Manager Xu cried for a while, and then said, "The 100,000 taels, the Xu Mansion really can't take it out for a while, my lord knows that it is natural to repay debts, and he doesn't dare to make enemies with the prince ......." ”
Xu Fu didn't dare to offend Lian Xuan, and the money would definitely be returned, but now it really can't be repaid, so he asked Lian Xuan to forgive him for a few days, and expressed the intention of Xu Fu to be good friends with him.
An Rong sat on the side, drinking tea and listening.
She knew that Xu Fu wanted to come soft, but unfortunately she didn't meet anyone who ate soft, and for those who didn't like it, even Xuan didn't eat soft and hard.
He finished the fruit, threw away the pit, and took another one and continued to gnaw.
He said while gnawing, "In other words, Xu Fu wants to give me 100,000 taels of silver later?" ”
Manager Xu nodded, "Please forgive me, there is really no ...... in the house." ”
Bah!
Lian Xuan spit out the fruit in his mouth, glanced at Manager Xu and said, "Okay, if you don't fool me, will the Xu family lack the 100,000 taels of silver?" What about when I'm a three-year-old? ”
Manager Xu said good things again.
Hearing that Manager Xu said that he was selling shops, An Rong said at this time, "I heard that Chu Guilou in the eight major restaurants seems to be the Xu family, and the green silk village on this street is also opened by the Xu family, do these two shops sell by the Xu family?" ”
Manager Xu was stunned when asked.
Chu Guilou and Silk Village, the business is excellent, how can the lord sell it?
However, as soon as An Rong asked this, Lian Xuan knew that she wanted Chu Guilou and Silk Village, and immediately smiled, "Since it is the Xu family, it is easy to say, whether to use the restaurant and silk village to pay off the debt, or sell it and pay back my silver, I am free, before tomorrow, I will see 100,000 taels of silver tickets and send off guests." ”
As soon as Lian Xuan's words fell, Bu Da came over to see off the guests, "Manager Xu, please." ”
Before Mr. Xu left, he also saluted respectfully.
After she left, Xiao Jin'er said, "Sister-in-law, do you want Chu Guilou?" ”
An Rong shook his head and smiled, "The Xu family won't sell Chu Guilou." ”
The Xu family is the maiden family of the Empress Dowager Xu, and before the emperor ascended the throne, the Xu family was so beautiful.
Moreover, when he accompanied the emperor to fight, the benefits of the Xu family were no less than those of the Xiao Guo Mansion, but the Xiao Guo Mansion was bright and bright. The Xu family is just silently making a fortune, if it weren't for the death of the Empress Dowager Xu's son, why would the Xu family be in today's situation?
Back then, in order to prevent the emperor from making the emperor the crown prince, the Xu family tried their best, and now that the emperor has ascended the throne as the emperor, the Xu family does not hold his tail and behaves, which is looking for death.
It's not that the Xu family can't take another 100,000 taels, it's just that they are unwilling to be unwilling.
If you can say a few more good words, you can pay 100,000 taels less. Who wouldn't?
Xiao Li'er poured tea for An Rong. smiled, "Sister-in-law, you are so bad, you only said one word." The Xu family had to continue to pay for it. ”
Lian Xuan said curiously. "Sister-in-law. How do you know that Chu Guilou belongs to the Xu family? ”
In a word, An Rong was dumbfounded, and she laughed twice. "Your eldest brother said that."
Lian Xuan touched his nose and didn't ask again.
It's just a little depressed, the eldest brother rarely wanders in the streets and alleys of Kyoto, but he knows that Chu Guilou belongs to the Xu family, he has nothing to do but doesn't know, this is too shocking, right?
Just as I was thinking about it, the gongs and drums sounded downstairs.
The sale of things in the Lingering Pavilion has officially begun.
The first ones sold are large pieces, such as red jade bottles, jade ruyi, and gold silk fans......
These large pieces are stored in the boudoir of the flawless girl, which is extremely precious.
There are many wealthy businessmen who come to Zuixian Mansion today, and when they see those things, they feel itchy in their hearts, so they won't make a bid.
An Rong's purpose is just to sell things, and no one minds who buys them.
Seeing the people downstairs shouting the price, it soon exceeded the reserve price given by An Rong, and the price continued to rise, and it was sold for more than expected two thousand taels of silver.
Lian Xuan sat there and watched, his eyebrows raised slightly, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and said, "The money of this group of profiteers is not in vain, sister-in-law, you are eating here, I will go downstairs." ”
After speaking, Lian Xuan got up and left.
Xiao Li'er blinked her eyes, "What is the second cousin going to do?" ”
Xiao Jin'er covered her mouth and smiled, "Needless to say, it's obviously to raise the price." ”
An Rong sat by the window and watched the commotion downstairs.
Lian Xuan went downstairs and occupied Zeng Fei's position, Zeng Fei and Xu Mao had to squeeze it, and the two of them were angry in their eyes, "Brother Lian Xuan, you are too much, we are still brothers, you even pit us?" ”
They are also frequent visitors to the Lingering Fragrance Pavilion, and they often send things inside.
Lian Xuan wanted to sell the things in Liuxiang Pavilion, and if he couldn't sell them, he would come to the door to find fault, the two didn't care at the time, no matter how they said it, they were not brothers.
They came today just to have a good time, and the result was good, and I saw that the jade pendant they gave was hanging on the wall.
Xu Mao didn't almost vomit blood, he didn't sit here and wait to buy the jade pendant back.
Zeng Fei asked Lian Xuan, "If we don't come today, you won't really be able to sell it, so go to the house to find me, right?" ”
Lian Xuan drank tea, glanced at the two of them and said, "If you say it, it's spilled water, can you take it back?" ”
After speaking, Lian Xuan shouted, "I'll give two thousand five hundred taels!" ”
Xu Mao looked at Lian Xuan, "What price are you shouting?" ”
also directly added two thousand taels to two thousand five hundred taels.
Lian Xuan said with a smile, "I'm curious about this bloody master, I don't know who it is, visiting the Qinglou, actually giving such a valuable gift, being generous, will be heroic, I like to make friends with such people." ”
Zeng Fei smiled and said to the man dressed luxuriously on the side, "As one of the few fox friends of the Hou Shizi of Jingbei, I will give you a piece of advice, if you can not be friends with him, don't do it, it doesn't count if you are rubbed to eat and drink, and from time to time you have to help carry the black pot, desolate and ......." ”
As he spoke, Zeng Fei was punched, clutching his chest and saying, "I still have to endure the pain of being beaten." ”
Lian Xuan added five hundred taels in one mouth, and the scene was a little cold.
Because, at that time, two thousand taels were two people competing.
Lian Xuan shouted, okay, don't dare to fight with him.
Downstairs, An Rong's cheeks hurt with a smile, "If it's really the overlord of Kyoto, as soon as you sit there, everyone will automatically retreat." ”
Xiao Li'er also laughed, "Is he a pit person, or is he pit himself?" ”
Xu Mao also laughed and had a stomachache, and said, "If you bid continuously, everyone doesn't have to buy it." ”
An Rong instructed Peony a few words, and Peony went downstairs, "Hou Shizi of Jingbei is a seller, he is not qualified to bid, everyone continue." ”
After speaking, Peony said, "Lord Shizi, please go upstairs." ”
Lian Xuan rolled his eyes twice and got up.
Before leaving, he gave Xu Mao and Zeng Fei a look.
Then, during the auction, Xu Mao and Zeng Fei took turns to raise the price.
The two of them really attracted a lot of angry eyes.
But fortunately, there are not many large items, and they are sold out in half an hour.
Then the ones sold are jade pendants, beads, necklaces, etc.
Different from selling large items, selling jade pendants is to put many jade pendants in a tray and bring them to each table from the small servant to the guests to choose.
The jade pendant is sold out, the jade bracelet is sold, and the ring is sold.
It's going on in an orderly way.
Xiao Jin'er held her chin in her hand and looked at her with a smile, "Sister-in-law, why do you say that so many people like to visit the Qinglou?" ”
Xiao Li'er twisted the embroidered handkerchief, her face was very stiff.
There are too many men who like to visit Qinglou, and she is afraid that her husband who will marry in the future will also linger in Qinglou restaurants and give jewelry and playthings to those Qinglou women.
Thinking about it, Xiao Li'er didn't want to get married.
Sensing that she was unhappy, An Rong asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Xiao Li'er said what was in her heart, and then asked, "Sister-in-law, if the eldest brother also visits the Qinglou, what will you do?" ”
An Rong was stunned by the question.
Xiao Jin'er smiled, "How can the eldest brother go to the Qinglou?" ”
Xiao Li'er drooped her eyes and said, "I know my eldest brother won't, I mean what if." ”
It's a really hard question.
An Rong thought for a long time, but still shook his head, "I don't know." ”
She never thought that Xiao Zhan would go to the Qinglou.
Xiao Li'er said firmly, "If my future husband also visits the Qinglou, I will be as reconciled as my aunt!" ”
Xiao Jin'er grinned, "You think too much, how can the husband that your grandmother and mother choose for you have a bad character?" ”
As she spoke, she got up and said, "I've drunk too much tea, I'm going to go out for a while, are you going?" ”
An Rong shook his head.
Xiao Li'er also shook her head.
Xiao Jin'er took the maid out of the house.
After walking a few steps, at the turnaround, Xiao Jin'er and King Qi collided.
Xiao Jin'er hurt when she hit it, and King Qi apologized, "I'm sorry, it hurt you." ”
When Xiao Jin'er saw him, her face turned red, and she shook her head and said, "It's okay." ”
As he spoke, he turned around and was about to leave.
King Qi stretched out his hand to stop her.
stopped Xiao Jin'er's hand and held a hairpin.
The hairpin is exactly the same as the one on Xiao Jin'er's head, just a pair.
It was the one who had just entered the Drunken Immortal Building and lost it.
Xiao Jin'er looked at the hairpin, looked at King Qi and said, "How can my hairpin be in your hand?" ”
King Qi smiled low and said, "You said at the door that the hairpin was lost, I heard it, and I went to help you find it." ”
Saying that, King Qi paused and said, "I broke your hosta, I will compensate you for one, and you don't want it, help you find it, and I will feel more at ease." ”
Listening to King Qi's words, Xiao Jin'er blushed like a sunset.
Raising his eyes again, he just caught King Qi's eyes, with admiration, injury, and fear of her refusal.
Xiao Jin'er thanked her and was about to reach out to receive the hairpin.
The prayer king's hand was raised.
He personally helped Xiao Jiner put the hairpin on the bun.
No one noticed that some of the powder fell from his hand as he withdrew his hand.
Xiao Jin'er was ashamed, spared King Qi, and turned to go downstairs.
The maid followed.
When there was no one, the maid whispered, "Girl, you won't like King Qi, the Guogong Mansion won't allow your ......." ”
Xiao Jin'er glared at the maid and said, "What nonsense! ”
