At this time, a turtle slave outside the water pavilion saw Zhao Hongrun's group of four, greeted them with a smile on his face, and invited them in.

The turtle slave who does this business has the most poisonous eyes, don't look at Zhao Hongrun's clothes and dress up just ordinary people, but he is a prince who lives freely in the deep palace after all, and he has a superior temperament in his gestures.

Not to mention that he was followed by Shen Yu, Mu Qing, and Lu Mu, all of whom were carefully selected by the sect to accompany the prince's Zongwei, all of whom were strong young men in their twenties, with blazing eyes and burly physique, even if they were wearing ordinary people's clothes, where did they look like ordinary people?

"Please, please, please." The turtle slave invited Zhao Hongrun and the others in with a smile on his face.

"Hmm." Lu Mu was very satisfied that this ghost slave did not despise them because of what they were wearing, so he casually took out an ingot of ten taels of silver from his arms and threw it into the other party's arms.

In the palace, it is very common to use ten taels of silver to send the little eunuch who has been on an errand, but now outside the palace, when the turtle slave found out that the reward for him was actually ten taels of silver, his eyes lit up with joy, and his heart was even more convinced that these people in front of him must be from a famous family.

A group of four people sat down in the hall under the arrangement of the turtle slave, and seeing this, Lu Mu frowned.

He glanced around with some displeasure, after all, the hall was full of self-proclaimed geniuses or rich men with big bellies and rich faces.

"How can I, the Eighth Highness of the Great Wei Hall, sit in the same hall with these common people?"

Lu Mu was unhappy in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Isn't there a private room here?" ”

The turtle slave took a look, and immediately guessed that these people must be raw guests, and he didn't know the rules of their side of the water pavilion, and was about to explain, but he saw Lu Mu take out a silver ingot of fifty taels from his arms, and said in a deep voice: "Arrange a good private room, and let the most beautiful girl here serve." ”

"What a high roller......

The turtle slave's eyes lit up when he looked at the silver ingot, but his face showed embarrassment: "A few masters, the rules of our water pavilion are not the girls who choose the boudoir, but the girls who choose the guests to enter the curtain......

"What?" When Lu Mu heard this, he immediately became angry in his heart, and said in his heart that His Royal Highness is the prince of Wei, how can he allow a group of prostitutes to pick and choose?

Immediately, he slapped the table and scolded angrily: "Bold! ”

The turtle slave trembled with fright, and hurriedly explained: "Don't be angry, look around, aren't they all like this." ”

Zhao Hongrun turned his head to look around when he heard this, and he found that the hall was full of dignified young men, as well as many pot-bellied rich people, these people were like him, sitting in the hall, drinking as if they were entertaining themselves, and there was no woman to accompany them.

And the embarrassing thing is that Lu Mu's angry shout made the group of people subconsciously turn their heads and look at them with a look at the country buns.

This made Zhao Hongrun feel a little hot on his face, and hurriedly whispered: "Lu Mu, shut up." ”

"Yes."

Lu Mu may have realized something, and his expression was a little embarrassed.

Because before he came in, because his Highness had never been to such a place, he wanted to deal with some on behalf of his Highness, but he didn't expect it to cause the disdain of the others in the hall.

"Sure enough, this little boy is the master!"

Seeing that Zhao Hongrun's words made the angry Lu Mu dare not say anything more, the turtle slave was clear in his heart, and respectfully explained to Zhao Hongrun: "This little boy is not a small embarrassment, but the rules of our water pavilion are like this. If the little boy can make the girl in the boudoir tempted, someone will introduce the little boy to the boudoir on the second and third floors and meet the girl in the boudoir. ”

"I see."

Zhao Hongrun understood, it turned out that this was not the kind of ordinary place to buy spring in the so-called bad customs in the market, and the grade and style here were higher.

"Then how can you be favored by the girl in your boudoir and be invited upstairs?"

Listening to the unconcealable tone of the superior in Zhao Hongrun's words, the turtle slave did not dare to despise it, and hurriedly said: "The girl in the boudoir will send the maid ring to serve and bring the paper with the proposition written to the hall, as long as the little boy can answer the questions on the paper, and the answer is in line with the girl's mind, he will naturally be invited upstairs." ”

"Oh." Zhao Hongrun nodded, and suddenly he raised his hand and pointed at a rich man who was wide and fat and slightly bald in the distance, and said in a low voice: "How can this son not see that person is a talented person, according to what you said, this person has no hope of going upstairs at all, so what is he doing here?" ”

The turtle slave glanced back, looking a little hesitant.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun gave Lu Mu a look, and the latter understood, took out ten taels of silver ingots and gently placed them on the table.

The silver is cold, but the heart is hot in the arms, seeing that the little boy in front of him has rewarded ten taels of silver, where will the turtle slave hesitate, and quickly put the silver in his arms, and then made a gesture on behalf of the money vaguely, and whispered: "Not every girl will pick a talented ...... Only those who would do that. After all, this is the Great Liang of Chendu, and there are many sons and daughters of rich families, even those girls, they also hope to meet a rich son who is rich and talented, and redeem themselves for them, even if it is a concubine, it is better than this...... You say yes, right? ”

"As for the others who have given up hope, they will find a way to earn money to redeem themselves at any cost?" Zhao Hongrun took the words of the turtle slave bluntly.

The turtle slave smiled helplessly.

"Okay, Ben Gongzi understands. …… Tell me, which of you girls is the prettiest here? ”

"Qingqi'er." Shen Yu interjected beside him, as a sect guard, he couldn't tolerate those women who were not clean and self-righteous to contact their highness.

Zhao Hongrun glanced at Shen Yu and didn't say anything.

The turtle slave thought for a while and said in a low voice, "Then it has to be Miss Su of 'Cui Xiaoxuan'." ”

"Oh? What's her name? Zhao Hongrun asked curiously.

Hearing this, the turtle slave whispered: "Little boy, here, I don't want to ask the girls' names, and they won't easily reveal their real names." ”

"Why?"

"Do you think, the girls have no choice but to commit to this, after all, it is a matter of humiliation to the family, who would want to reveal their real names and surnames?"

"Hmm. …… Cui Xiaoxuan: yes, I made a note of it. ”

When the turtle slave saw it, he said: "Little boy, although Miss Su of Cui Xiaoxuan is said to be both beautiful and artistic, she has always been unpretentious to the guests here, if the little boy is full of knowledge, it is fine, if it is ......."

Hearing this, Mu Qing interrupted with an unhappy face: "My son-in-law is naturally a rich man, do you want to talk more?" ”

"Yes yes yes that's good, that's good...... "

The turtle slave respectfully retreated, and came back again after a while, and gave Zhao Hongrun's table of four people a pot of wine, a pot of tea, four cups, and a few plates of dry goods, fruit shops, fried beans, peanuts, dried dates, and the like.

"Damn, it costs thirty taels for just these things? This money is too easy to earn! ”

Because of his own royal palace, Lu Mu, who had paid the silver, scolded in a low voice.

"Wine isn't a good wine." Mu Qing sniffed the wine in the jug and couldn't help frowning.

"How do you compare to the wine offerings in the palace?"

Shen Yu shook his head slightly, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea, sniffed it, brought it to Zhao Hongrun, and whispered: "Childe, this tea is not bad, why don't you have a cup of tea." ”

"Hmm." Zhao Hongrun nodded indifferently.

Thinking about it, he didn't come here to drink and eat tea, he, like the people in this hall, just wanted to meet the beautiful girls in this water pavilion.

If you really want to drink wine, thirty taels of silver is enough to drink in the wine shop until you are drunk.

While he was drinking tea slowly, a little girl from upstairs ran down from time to time to ask questions to the distinguished guests in the hall.

At this time, the turtle slaves also quickly presented a square wooden plate to the guests at each table, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were placed in the wooden plate, which was obviously used to answer questions.

As for the questions of the girls in the boudoir, they are basically from Confucian books, some are relatively simple, some are relatively obscure, probably just read the first half of a paragraph, and then ask the guests in the hall to pick up the second half of the sentence, and the way of asking questions is so simple that Zhao Hongrun is disappointed.

"Is this question just a gimmick?"

Zhao Hongrun was disappointed.

Fortunately, there were several links that asked the talented people in the hall to write poems for each other, which finally made Zhao Hongrun recover a little bit of expectation.

But even so, he didn't put pen to paper, just drank tea by himself, and let the self-proclaimed talents in the hall scramble to answer the questions.

Because he was waiting for the question of Miss Su from Cui Xiaoxuan.

I don't know how long it took, finally a little girl who was waiting in Cui Xiaoxuan walked to the corridor on the second floor with a piece of paper in her hand, facing the guests in the hall below, and slowly spread out a painting.

Zhao Hongrun glanced up and found that the painting depicted a group of white cranes playing in the water, and the white crane in the middle was the most eye-catching, standing on one foot in the water, combing its feathers with its beak.

"It's not bad...... Unfortunately, not only does it not have the illusion that the object in the painting seems to come to life, but the line outline is not in place...... The crane should be thin to show more fairy spirit, this crane is fat, just like a fat goose with a dull head. …… It's not as good as the Six Emperor Brothers, it's far inferior."

Since the sixth prince Zhao Hongzhao had also painted cranes, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but make comparisons in his heart, and the results made him shake his head secretly.

He didn't want to think about it, whether he was crazy enough to take out the paintings of the sixth prince Zhao Hongzhao for comparison, you must know that the calligraphy and paintings of his sixth emperor brother Zhao Hongzhao are as high as 1,000 taels in the Beijing market, if this Miss Su of Cui Xiaoxuan has this ability, she will still be here?

But no matter what, Zhao Hongrun was still a little disappointed, and he didn't look at the group of people in the hall who praised and touted the painting.

Unexpectedly, the little girl took out this painting not to let them evaluate how well it was drawn, but to ask a ridiculous question.

"Miss Su asked, "When the crane is standing, why is it curled up on one foot and standing on the other?"

Suddenly the whole house was silent.

But Zhao Hongrun's heart was a little interested.

"That's interesting......

He turned to look at the others in the hall.

Diametrically opposed to his attitude, those seemingly suave sons and students were shaking their heads and sighing in a low voice.

"What is this?"

"It seems that Miss Su from Cui Xiaoxuan is not planning to meet guests today, and she deliberately raised such an embarrassing question."

"Try your luck, you might get lucky."

The students in the hall sighed and wrote down their answers, and the turtle slave sent it to the little girl.

"Childe?"

Shen Yu handed the wooden plate to Zhao Hongrun, he knew that his Royal Highness was waiting for that Miss Su from Cui Xiaoxuan to ask the question, otherwise, according to the wisdom of his Royal Highness, how could those who were extremely simple to this His Highness not answer?

And from the side, Mu Qing couldn't help but give advice to his Royal Highness: "Why are you standing on one foot and curled up on the other...... It's more immortal, isn't it, Your Highness? ”

Unexpectedly, Zhao Hongrun glanced at him funny, picked up the pen and wrote a sentence on the white paper that made them laugh, and then wrote his name at the checkout.

Jiang Run!
