Chapter 248: A Deliberate Chance Encounter
Xi Shi Fang is the most famous gold cave in Wuchang. With the support of the power of the financier behind him, not only does the scale and strength overwhelm Fengyifang, but he can also enter and exit some important military places that ordinary people cannot set foot in.
This is undoubtedly a very attractive gimmick for flower customers. Although in the vast majority of cases, Xi Shifang can only look around the so-called military strongholds, and cannot really enter the barracks. When receiving an invitation from a general in the army to perform a special performance, it is necessary to clear the venue, and unidentified guests cannot stay on the ship and must be invited out.
This is the exception of Kabuki on the boat.
The scale and strength of Fengyifang are not as good as those of Xishifang, but Fengyifang has its own characteristics, that is, there are many orchids, and the quality is high, and the Hule Hu dance is unique. When Shih Tzu receives a task with special requirements, he usually comes to Feng Yi Fang to borrow musicians and maiko.
Taking this opportunity, Feng Yifang was able to gain a foothold in Wuchang, and it has been doing quite well in recent years.
After listening to Ren Hongchang's introduction, Cao Miao felt that Ren Hongchang was born to do this business. She's good at business and even better at cooperating, so she has friends everywhere she goes, and she can get cover.
After waiting for two days, Cao Miao took Ah Hu and others to board the Xishi Fang. Liu Chen and others pretended to be flower guests, blended in the crowd, and kept secretly. For them, this is corruption at public expense, a rare beauty difference.
Starting from Luoyang, they have followed Cao Miao for nearly a month, and have seen Cao Miao's madness and ruthlessness, and now it is time to see Cao Miao's luxury. Food, clothing, and expenses are all reimbursed, and the daily expenses are something they never dared to think of before. Not only that, Cao Miao also asked people to help them with beauty and makeup every day. Within a few days, one by one it was like a different person, all of them were white and fat, and they had the style of a wealthy dog's legs, unless they were insiders, they couldn't see the obscenity and ruthlessness of the school officials.
Cao Miao, dressed in brocade clothes, walked sideways, staggered up to the second floor, looked left and right, and walked straight towards the private room facing the cabin door.
A little slave in Tsing Yi greeted him and stopped Cao Miao quietly, with a smile on his face.
"A guest's first visit?"
Cao Miao glanced at him and nodded with satisfaction. "Insightful. Reward! ”
Zhishu answered, took out a purse and threw it over. The little slave caught it, his hand was slightly heavy, and he couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart. Today I met the rich man of the land, and this purse has at least two hundred dollars. He is just a small slave who is ushered in, and there are not many opportunities to get rewarded money, some are dozens of dollars, and few are hundreds of dollars.
Unless it's the first time to come, I'm frightened by the name of Xi Shifang, and I don't dare to make too few shots, for fear of revealing timid outsiders.
"Are the guests enjoying the scenery, or watching the dance and listening to the music?"
"Not only to enjoy the scenery, but also to watch dances and listen to music." Cao Miao did enough homework, and at the moment she behaved like a veteran of flowers, not listening to the little slave at all, and stretched out her hand to point to the private room. "I want this."
The little slave's smile was even brighter, and they were about to grow flowers. "Guest, I'm sorry. Not in this room. Except for this one, guests can choose at will. ”
Cao Miao was puzzled. "Why can't this one? This room is the best place to enjoy the scenery while enjoying the scenery on the river, watching the dance and listening to the music in the Xuanxuan, and the left and right are the best places, why not? Is it because it's expensive? Are you afraid I won't be able to pay? ”
The little slave gave up again and again. "The guest looks like a person with a lot of money, how can he not be able to pay. It's really a ...... that has been condemned."
"Who decides?" Cao Miao turned around and looked around. "I'm willing to pay double the price."
"Yes......" The little slave opened his mouth, suddenly closed it again, looked behind Cao Miao with uneasy eyes, squeezed past Cao Miao with a hunched waist, and quietly pushed Cao Miao by the way.
Cao Miao turned around and saw that a group of people appeared at the top of the stairs, both gorgeously dressed maids and delicately dressed armor soldiers, rich and powerful. Surrounded by the stars and the moon was a young woman, dressed in brocade clothes, wearing gold ornaments, willow eyebrows slightly frowned, jade face with frost, looking at him with a sinister face.
Cao Miao was secretly happy in her heart. Princess Sun Luban, the main master is here. He came here today to "meet her" by chance.
"Are you rich?" Sun Luban took half a step forward, raised his chin slightly, and looked at Cao Miao with his nostrils, his eyes full of disdain.
Cao Miao smiled and arched his hand. "Don't dare, it's just a little wealth. When I first arrived in Wuchang, I heard that the name of Xi Shifang was born, and I came to open my eyes. The location of this private room is even desirable. If the nobleman is willing to let it, I will pay double the price and give a small gift. ”
"Outlander?"
"Luoyang people." Cao Miao showed a faint reserve at the right time, a sense of superiority from Jingshi, which stimulated Sun Dahu's nerves.
Sure enough, Sun Dahu was stung and sneered. "The people of Luoyang came to my Wuchang to do business, travel, or ...... Between the lines? ”
Cao Miao smiled silently, pursed her lips, and said lightly: "Between the lines." ”
"What?" Sun Dahu's face changed slightly, he took a step back, and as soon as he waved, the armor soldiers around him hugged him and surrounded Cao Miao in the middle.
Originally, she was just scaring Cao Miao, shaking her majesty, and striking Cao Miao's arrogance, but she didn't expect Cao Miao to admit it happily, and she was a little nervous for a while. A pair of apricot eyes widened, looking at Cao Miao intently.
"Hahaha......" Surrounded by countless bright blades, Cao Miao laughed loudly. You're the famous Great Tiger Princess, right? ”
"What did you say?" Sun Luban was stunned for a moment. When did you become famous in Koto?
"I heard that there are two heroines in Jiangdong, one is the sister of King Wu, the famous Mrs. Sun. One is the beloved daughter of King Wu, the majestic Tiger Princess. Looking at your age, I don't think it will be Mrs. Sun, but naturally Princess Dahu. Sure enough, it is worthy of its name, it is not chaotic in the face of danger, and it swallows thousands of miles like a tiger. ”
Seeing Cao Miao comparing himself to his aunt Mrs. Sun, Sun Luban subconsciously puffed up his chest. "You're a ...... Spy? ”
"Does Wu Guo like this, when he sees a rich foreigner, he says that he is a spy, and then he kills for money?" Cao Miao chuckled softly: "Then you are in a bit of a hurry." I don't have a lot of money with me, and even if you slander me as a spy, you won't get much money. ”
Cao Miao said, stretching out her hand. Zhishu and Picturesque untied the money bag wrapped around his waist and handed it to Cao Miao. Cao Miao took it, held it in front of Sun Luban's eyes, let go of his hand, and let the two money bags fall to the ground with a muffled "bang".
"It's just more than 20 gold, is it worth your hands?" Cao Miao raised her eyebrows. "If it's worth it, then you have to call some more people, these people can't catch me."
Sun Luban looked at the money bag on the ground, and then looked at Cao Miao with disdain, and smiled angrily. "Call some more? You don't have to. I have ten people here, and thirty people in the boat next to me, and it will be more than enough to take down the four of you. ”
"Really?" Cao Miao laughed silently. "Do you dare to make a bet and let me see if the princess is a real tiger or a fake tiger with a tiger skin?"
Sun Luban was stimulated by Cao Miao's contempt. "How to bet?"
"It's simple. I have three retinues, you pick one of the retinues at random, one-on-one, you win one, I lose you twenty gold. If you lose it all, I don't want your money, how about this private room belong to me? ”
Sun Luban sneered: "But you only have twenty gold." ”
Cao Miao smiled silently, and looked at Sun Luban quietly, until Sun Luban was furious by him, and then said lightly: "If the princess's entourage can win two games, not only the 1,000 gold I brought from Luoyang is the princess's, but my life is all yours." ”
