Seeing Liu Ruyan again, Li Qian was more sure of his previous judgment in his heart, she was indeed coerced.

In fact, there is nothing incomprehensible about this, don't look at the 'Qing people' who claim to be performing arts and not selling themselves, in the end, they can really keep their bodies, and how many people are good at marrying?

Moreover, the Lejia woman has a lowly status, and the private prostitute is fine, but if it is an official prostitute of the Teaching Workshop Division, it will be difficult to redeem herself for the rest of her life. But even so, Qinglou women will not have a few good ways out, and if they get married, they can only be concubines. Once the man's freshness has passed in the future, or in order to befriend the powerful, it is normal to give it to others to play with it wantonly------

Although Liu Ruyan looks radiant at this moment, her eyes can't deceive people.

Li Qian very keenly captured the tired color in her eyes, and then there was the face shape and body shape------ from her body, Li Qian deeply understood the word "gradually widening the belt".

In just two months, she has lost a whole circle, which shows how depressed her mood is.

Next, the bustard mother did not introduce her appearance, body curves and skills like a snake, but only shook a puff fan and said: "In the past, the girls combed together, and the starting price was thirty times, but our Ruyan girls are different------

When she said this, the guests on and off the stage all smiled, and of course they said that it was different, the name of the Oiran alone was worth a lot ------of money, not to mention that this Liu Ruyan posture and figure were all superior, if she could let her 'serve' for a night, it would really be "Peony Flower Death, Ghost and Merry", don't say that it is thirty guan, that is, three hundred, the starting price of three thousand guan is not too much!

Of course, although 3,000 guan is not low, it is estimated that it will be no fun tonight. That's the beauty that Zhao Chengcheng has taken a fancy to, and there are Li Daguan competing with him, I'm afraid that tonight I will compete for a sky-high price of tens of thousands of yuan------

The name of the Oiran is placed there, which is the best introduction and the best evaluation of a beautiful woman. Therefore, the bustard's mother only said a few words, and then went straight to the point: "The starting price of smoke tonight is 100 yuan!" Gentlemen who want to be the groom's officials, you can bid now. ”

"I'll go out one hundred and ten!"

Immediately someone shouted a higher price, here through, of course, refers not to the Ming treasure banknote, but the calculation of silver two------ of course, too much silver two hours and a half will not be able to take out, and the imperial court also has a ban on silver, so the people generally use the current price to convert into treasure money.

Although tonight is a play between Zhao Liangchang and Li Qian, as the audience's guests, it is obviously not a big deal to watch the excitement. Therefore, when the two main lords have not yet spoken, they are naturally happy to shout a price to show their financial resources.

However, these people are obviously not too atmospheric, and the prices are all increased by one or twenty yuan, and they don't seem to want to raise the price to a prohibitive high point at once, and it took a long time to raise the price to more than three hundred.

Li Qian looked at the people in the hall like smelly flies, and he unconsciously felt a little disgust in his heart. Although he is also a masculinist through and through, he does not treat women as playthings and buy and sell them at will.

His eyes swept over the window, and he raised his voice: "I'll go out a thousand!" ”

Wow------

There was an uproar in the hall, and after looking at this clear voice, after seeing that it was Li Daguan, their eyes turned to Zhao Liangchang, who was sitting by the window in the opposite building.

"Heh, young people just can't hold their breath." Zhao Yuanwai smiled, and then raised his voice and shouted: "Fifteen hundred!" ”

Tonight, many guests came to see the excitement, at this time, as soon as they saw the big drama start, the two main protagonists began to compete so quickly, they suddenly felt excited, and they wished that these two people would fight for wealth and fight a little anger, and then you live and die------

This time, not only in the hall, but also in the windows of many private rooms upstairs, there were heads that were afraid that the world would not be chaotic.

"Li Gongzi, in front of the beauty, you can't easily admit defeat!"

"That's it! At this time, I want to be a turtle with a shrunken head, and I won't be able to see people in the future------"

"Up, up, Li Gongzi, what are you afraid of him doing? No matter how financial he is in the Zhao family, he will not offer a sky-high price for a woman, and if he works harder, you must be the one who comes out on top tonight! ”

“------”

The whole scene was chaotic, as the so-called law does not blame the public, and most of these people are local gentry, so they don't have so many scruples when they speak, ridicule, ridicule, and words of encouragement.

"Hehe, in my opinion, Liu Ruyan is not just tonight!" In the private room, Tao Sheng said with a smile: "Li Qian's soap business, although he has made a lot of money recently, but after all, the time is still short and the climate is not successful, how much capital can he compete with justice?" ”

"Borrow good words from incorruptible envoys!"

Zhao Yuanwai secretly scolded this old man in his heart, coming over tonight is not as simple as just watching the excitement, and he said tentatively at the moment: "I think that the two of them are talented and beautiful, if this Li Qian really has the heart of pity and cherishing jade, I Zhao is not impossible." ”

"Oh? Impartiality means ------"

"I heard that Lian Envoy Su Xi was a calligrapher and painter of his predecessors?" Zhao Yuanwai did not answer his question directly, but changed the topic and said: "I have a calligraphy and painting of Minan Palace, but I can't see any wonder------ think about it, and only an elegant person like Lian can appreciate the artistic conception." ”

Minan Palace is another name for the calligrapher and painter Mi Fu of the Northern Song Dynasty, was edicted by Song Huizong as a doctor of calligraphy and painting, and Cai Xiang (a said to be Cai Jing), Su Shi, Huang Tingjian three people collectively called the "Song Four Family", its calligraphy won the essence of the two kings (Wang Xizhi, Wang Xianzhi), and the painting is also quite profound. Even in the Ming Dynasty at this time, his calligraphy and paintings were extremely rare.

"Oh? Hahahaha------ just said and laughed. ”

"Early tomorrow morning, I will send someone to your mansion." Zhao Yuanwai arched his hand and said: "Be careful, and hope that the incorruptible envoy will accept it!" ”

"It's just and polite." To put it mildly, Tao Sheng's heart of the abacus has already been beaten'snap' sound, Mi Fu's true handiwork is worth a thousand gold, a calligraphy and painting can be exchanged for thousands of taels of silver, this deal is also cost-effective.

How can he, an old fritter in officialdom, not see Zhao Yuanwai's intentions?

In the previous case, he suddenly intervened sideways, and the picture was the soap formula in Li Qian's hand. And right now, what the surname Zhao said was "talented and beautiful, and she has a heart to be fulfilled", the meaning couldn't be clearer.

It can be seen that he wants to take this opportunity to constantly raise the price of Liu Ruyan's combing, so that Li Qian can only use the soap formula as a bargaining chip in the end------ in that case, Liu Ruyan, a small geisha, is not unable to give in.

Although the price is slightly higher than before, at this time and at that time, Li Qian has no handle for him to handle. And a Mi Fu calligraphy and painting shot, but also to please yourself, so as not to be critical time, their own horizontal insertion of a bar, plain bad his good things------

Tao Sheng naturally had nothing to say about this.

After all, Zhao Yuanwai did not hesitate to destroy his reputation and set up this bureau to get the soap formula in Li Qian's hand, obviously he had been planning for a long time, and he was waiting for this day to come. Now that he has accepted the heavy gift, it is not good to meddle at will in the future.

He really likes the calligraphy and painting of the Song Sijia, but before seeing the calligraphy and painting, he is not sure whether it is genuine or fake, because Zhao Yuan's foreign envoy is just a kind of "elegant bribe" means in the officialdom, and there may not be the real Mi Fu in his hands.

The so-called elegant bribery can be fake for true, or it can be fake for true. Here, calligraphy and painting only exist as props for bribery, and it doesn't matter whether they are true or not.

Fake is true, that is, the giver buys a fake at a high price, and implies that the recipient can sell the fake to an antique calligraphy and painting shop, but in the end it can be exchanged for a lot of money------ and if it is fake, the gift-giver will treat the genuine work as a fake to be consigned in the antique calligraphy and painting shop, and then the official who receives the gift will buy it at a low price.

And here, with the existence of the antique calligraphy and painting shop in the middle, bribery and bribery have become personal contacts, and there is no huge amount of money transactions on the face, and it is not easy to investigate.

There are actually a lot of elegant bribes in the officialdom, in addition to the occasional calligraphy and painting antiques on weekdays, there are also charcoal to respect Bingjing, three festivals and two longevity said------ here is just a general point, really want to meet the official who makes money and makes a lot of money, three days and two ends can hold a banquet, invite guests, what son is full moon and over the age of one, happy to move to a new home and other reasons casually, in short, it is a change of way to let you pay for gifts------

He guessed Zhao Yuanwai's thoughts, but the only thing he thought wrong was that the matter of Oiran was not from Zhao Yuanwai's original intention, but the conditions for the Spring Breeze Smile Building.

It's very simple, as long as this matter is about to get into trouble, even if Zhao Yuanwai is completely on this thief ship, there is no way back, he can only follow Pan Ning all the way to the dark------

This trick is really ruthless, originally according to Lao Zhao's plan, the beauty will accept it first, and then act with the camera. Once he sees that the opportunity is not good, he can immediately put aside his own involvement, and his Zhao family is still a local strong and a squire.

It's a pity that Pan Ning is not stupid, so he doesn't leave him any room to turn around.

However, Li Qian's bidding made him think again, so he made a temporary decision to kill two birds with one stone. Not only can they buy the formula in the hands of the other party, but they can also get rid of the shackles of Pan Ning and shake off this big hat of colluding with the cult to rebel, and if they fail in the future, they can also calmly get out and clear their charges.

In this way, even Pan Ning can't say anything, after all, it is Li Qian's "refusal to give in", which makes the price of combing up several times for no reason------ and then Lao Zhao can completely shirk and say, no matter how strong the financial resources of my Zhao family are, it is not blown by the wind, right? Can't, let me go bankrupt to fight for the right to comb a bitch, right?

He can even bite back, saying that this matter is all due to the improper arrangement of your Chunfeng Yixiao Building, and directly let me accept people as concubines, isn't it all over? I want to rectify this one, which leads to branches, and there are more changes like Li Qian's bidding competition halfway------

As for how much money their Zhao family has, how can outsiders know clearly?

He said that his family is only tens of thousands, and you have to believe it. In fact, just such a sum of money is amazing enough, and there are indeed few people in Hangzhou who can have a net worth of more than 100,000------

The two of them had a simple conversation in three or two sentences, and the deal had been negotiated, and Li Qian, who was on the other side, had already spoken again at this time.

"If the smoke girl has the assets to sink the fish and fall the goose, in my opinion, it is not inferior to Xi Shi Zhaojun, or Zhao Feiyan who can dance in the palm of her hand------" After a pause, Li Qian's eyes fell on Liu Ruyan's face on the stage below, and he stopped for a moment, and then lazily shouted out his new price.

"I'm out of 3,000!"

At this moment, Lin Qiuyun's master and servant entered the hall, and as soon as they raised their eyes, they saw Li Qian sitting upstairs by the window, and the unflattened face with a lot of flowers------
