With the atmosphere of the Great Zhou, the social status of merchants was very low, and it was even lower than that of martial artists, so the real official Mi Gui could not be invited.

In addition to Xu Shiyang, Zhang Mingyi and Wen Ji are still "big" figures who participated in the Migui banquet this time.

Moreover, these two people still came to the meeting for the sake of Xu Shiyang's face.

However, for a businessman, being able to invite the parents and daughters of Wen Xianggong and Zhang Mingyi, who has been admitted to the Jinshi and is a doctor of Taichang, have exceeded his expectations.

For this reason, the merchant Mi Rail seemed a little excited, and as soon as he entered the gate of Xiaofan Tower, his companion immediately called the old bustard, handed over ten taels of silver without saying a word, and commanded in a low voice:

"My lord has invited a distinguished guest today, find a clean courtyard, and if the head of the line is free, come over together!"

The old bustard weighed the weight of the silver, opened his mouth and pointed to all the signs at the head of the line, knowing that this was the master who looked heroic in Lin'an, and immediately agreed with a smile on his face:

"My daughter is getting dressed, please stay for a while."

Then he called Xiao Er, whispered a few words, and led Xu Shiyang and his party to a spacious box in the east building.

Slightly different from the Qinglou in Xu Shiyang's impression, the decoration of this box is actually very elegant, giving people the feeling of entering a girl's boudoir, rather than ushering in the Jiyuan to be sent.

Everyone sat down separately, although the host and guest were Xu Shiyang, but Zhang Mingyi had the highest official position (for an official), so he sat on the top instead.

Xu Shiyang and Wen Ji sat opposite each other left and right, and Mi Guijing, who spent money, accompanied the last place.

Later, Xiao Er sent an altar to Qingzhou to engage in, the altar was opened, and the house was full of wine, and even Xu Shiyang, who was not really a good wine, felt that this wine was indeed very good.

Then refreshments and preserved fruits were served, and the four of them had side dishes and drank and feasted first.

"Ahh Xiaofanlou really lives up to its name! Wen Ji toasted, but couldn't help sighing.

Mi Gui smiled and asked, "Why, Yanai has never been here?" ”

"My father and brother won't let me come." Wen Ji shook his head and said helplessly: "I don't have so much money myself. ”

The Wen family is rich, but the character of a person like Wen Xianggong will not let his children and nephews be too extravagant, not to mention that Wen Ji himself has no income, so this is the first time he has come to Fanlou for a banquet.

"I've been to other places, but Mi Zhang, the kid has always been a little curious, how is the degree of this Fan Lou?"

"Hahaha......" Mi Gui laughed loudly: "Yanai is really temperamental, but this point is wrong!" ”

Zhang Mingyi, who was sitting at the top, also smiled and shook his head, but he held his identity and didn't speak, letting Mi Gui explain:

"The head of Fan Lou is different from the vulgar fans in other places, if it is said to be a degree of capital, a few people have more than a thousand yuan, right?"

"So much?" Wen Ji exclaimed.

Even Xu Shiyang was frightened.

The price of rice in Jiangnan is low, and the best quality grain is only 1050 wen and one stone, that is, half a copper coin consistently.

In other words, an Oiran in Fan Lou costs at least 666 stone of white rice for one night!

Three years ago, the entire Xu family's public treasury couldn't get really much grain.

"No more, no less, this still has to be seen by the leaders." Mi Gui said with a smile: "Fan Lou Xingtou can sell his art without selling his body, if he can't look at it, he can't spend any amount of money!" ”

"Hmph, it's nothing more than waiting for the price to sell."

The poor ghost Xu Shiyang said sourly:

"Take 10,000 and smash it, I don't believe they can still say a word!"

"Hahaha." This time, even Zhang Mingyi couldn't help laughing: "Tang Tu Beauty, Tang Tu Beauty, Brother Xu." ”

"Fan Lou's line is famous all over the world, but if it is a scholar with poetry talent, there are all those who are dedicated to Yijin!"

Xu Shiyang pursed his lips and didn't want to say anything more.

The so-called pouring money to talented scholars is nothing more than an investment.

If the scholar wins the jinshi in the future, recalls this good fate, redeems the oiran, and accepts him as a concubine, it is already the best result in life for a concubine.

And the scholars were also very happy about it—not only did they have a beautiful woman, but the head of the Oiran usually had a lot of private money, and it was also a good story to spread this kind of thing, which could enhance the fame of both men and women.

Why not?

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Xu Shiyang.

He had already made up his mind not to mix with this kind of literati game, and he didn't even care if he was ridiculed and looked down upon by the officials of the main battle faction, and naturally he wouldn't use the poems of famous people in his previous life.13

Maybe Xu Shiliu has been training in Jiangnan for a few years, and he can get the honor money that the Oiran took the initiative to offer, right?

"This boy looks down on our sisters."

A crisp voice like a yellow warbler sounded outside the door, and there seemed to be blame in the tone, but when it was said in the gentle Wu Nong's soft language, it gave people a feeling more like coquettishness.

Zhang Mingyi and Mi Gui often come to Xiaofanlou, and they have long been used to it, but Xu Shiyang and Wen Ji, two who have never seen the world, heard this, and their bodies were half lighter.

The four of them looked back at the door together, and a girl with bright eyes and bright teeth who looked to be only 15 or 6 years old jumped into the house like a lively little swallow with her skirt in her hands.

Then, another girl who seemed to be a little older, about 17 or 8 years old, followed in with Yaoqin in her arms.

The two girls were so beautiful that the pen and ink could no longer be described, as if as they entered the door, the whole private room became three points brighter!

Wen Ji was stunned in an instant, and even Xu Shiyang unconsciously shrank back, as if to avoid the dazzling brilliance.

"Ah, it turns out that Miss Yokoba and Miss Ru are here!"

Mi Gui stood up with a look of surprise on his face.

Xu Shiyang felt that at least half of the surprises in this were fake, and it was more like deliberately introducing the two Oiran to himself, the old hat.

But......

Transverse waves and so? Qin Huai Bayan? Appearing in the same time and space as names like Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen really makes people feel a little confused.

"Mizhang Mizhang, your friend is not good, how can you speak ill of the girl behind your back."

The lively girl who came first complained about her dissatisfaction with Xu Shiyang at Mi Gui, but listening to the tone, blaming and coquettishness is also open.

"Transverse waves, don't be unreasonable."

Compared with the deer-like and agile transverse waves, the girl who is called Ruyes is obviously taking the route of a boudoir, and the whole person looks weak and gentle.

"My friend is the number one warrior in the world, and he has never seen the girl's singing and dancing style, and he was surprised by the beauty for a while, and I hope the girl is not strange."

Mi Gui also explained, and the businessman's words raised the identities of both of them a lot.

"Slightly~~~." Hengbo stuck out his tongue at Xu Shiyang and muttered in a low voice: "The number one fierce general in the world? What a braggart...... ”

"Transverse waves! Don't be rude! ”

He gently pushed her, and then saluted Xu Shiyang:

"My sister is usually favored and rude to her son, and the little girl apologized on her behalf."

"It doesn't matter." Xu Shiyang replied indifferently: "Anyway, it's just a human design." ”
