Chapter 18 Selling Land and Buying Flowers

Xiao Tan was sent out to prepare for food, and only Zhao Yougong and Cui Niannu were left in the house. At this time, Nian Nu'er squinted and hummed the "Fixing the Storm", Zhao Yougong listened to it seriously, as for the comments, he was still able to speak, no matter how he said it, he was also a big man in Bianliang, and the Fengyue place was even more familiar, and he knew a little bit about men's thoughts.

Nian Nu'er's voice was crisp and mellow, as beautiful as a trickle of water, the singing was pleasant, and it was heartwarming, and at the end of the song, Zhao Yougong couldn't help but applaud. With Nian Nu'er's voice and appearance, he will also be a singer in later generations, "Nian Nu'er, this song is really wonderful!" ”

"Wonderful? Oh? What does the king of the county think is wonderful? Nian Nu'er smiled and pursed her mouth slightly.

Zhao Yougong was stunned for no reason, he just said something good, but what is beautiful, with his style of not learning and not knowing, how can he say it? Coughing dryly, King Zhao Xiaojun smiled embarrassedly, "Well, the words are good, and the most important thing is that Nian Nu'er sings, this is wonderful!" ”

Hearing Zhao Yougong's explanation, Nian Nu'er covered her mouth and giggled, and her beautiful eyes quietly rolled her eyes, "The county king's mouth is really sweet, I'm afraid he didn't just say it to the slave family, right?" ”

"Huh? This king swears to heaven, this is only said to you! Zhao Yougong pointed to the sky with his right hand, and that expression was really. However, the little county king usually eats his oath as food, how can anyone believe it?

Nian Nu'er naturally wouldn't believe it, she pouted, and seemed to have some taste, "The king of the county will deceive the slave family, what about Sister Yurou of Deyuelou?" You've had a lot of good things to say about her, have you? ”

"Well, Yurou's voice is also good, but this king hasn't said the same thing to her!" Zhao Yougong has always felt that shamelessness is a technology, anyway, one word is different, it is a big difference.

Scoundrel, really a scoundrel, Nian Nu'er thinks that although the little county king has the atmosphere of a gangster, he is quite interesting, even if he doesn't know his real ability, he will look at him differently.

In the courtyard of Gaofu, Gao Yanei, who was fat, leaned against the stone table and basked in the sun, he was really not very good these days, he lost the last two competitions with Zhao Yougong, the most hateful thing was to learn to bark a dog, and once he was bitten by a pig, he was really angry. On the contrary, that Zhao Yougong is very beautiful. Gao Yanei is also a revenge character, to the depths, he is a market poppy, suffered a loss, if you don't find the field, then how can you mix? The Oiran Contest in a few days is a good opportunity, this time we must frustrate the prestige of Zhao Wurou, the idea is good, but Gao Yanai also has his own difficulties, if you want to put Master Li on the throne of Oiran, it will cost money. Normally, Gao Yanei can still use his identity to do something, but this time the review is the famous stinky stone Li Gang Li Boji, Li Boji is never threatened, so he can only take the conventional path to win.

In the Tokyo Oiran Competition, there are two considerations, one is piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the other is singing and dancing. After each girl has finished her performance, the audience will make a choice based on their preferences. If you like it, you will use the money to buy some flowers and send them to you, and in the end, whichever girl gets the most flowers will be considered the winner. It costs a lot of money to buy flowers, and a peony flower costs 50 yuan.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, the scale of peonies was absolutely unprecedented, the most famous was Luoyang peony, at that time, Kaifeng, Luoyang area of the big families almost all raised some peonies for appreciation, of course, more people are still in the vassal elegance only.

Every year in mid-April, it can be said that Luoyang flowers are the busiest time, before the Tokyo Oiran Contest, most of the peonies in Xijing (Luoyang) will be shipped to Tokyo, and when the Oiran Contest begins, the merchants in Tokyo City can make money. In the first generation of the Song Dynasty, don't look at the miserable foreign wars, but the rich Cheng dΓΉ is by no means comparable to the Tang Dynasty. During the Song Dynasty, the economy was high, and even ordinary people's homes would have some surplus money, which was also the reason why the entertainment of the Song Dynasty was so popular.

It was only past noon, but Gao Yu left the Taiwei Mansion and returned home early, and as soon as he entered the courtyard door, he saw Gao Yanei sighing and leaning against the stone table, and his face was still covered with the fan painted with "Tiger Picture". Seeing Gao Yanei's appearance, Gao Yu stroked his beard and smiled, at this hour, why is Shibao staying at home? Although Gao Shibao is Gao Yu's godson, Gao Yu has no parents under his knees, so he is very fond of this godson, otherwise with the things that Gao Yanei did in Beijing, he would have been sent to Kaifeng Mansion to test the power of the tiger's head.

Walking over and picking up the fan, Gao Yu stretched out his foot and kicked Gao Yanei's calf, "What's wrong with Baolang?" But it's causing trouble again? ”

But when Fan Gao Shibaowo's family doesn't go out to put a bitter gourd face, then eighty percent of them have encountered something, and this time is no exception. Seeing that Gao Yu was back, Gao Yanei stood up sharply, "Dad, why did you come back so early today?" ”

"There's nothing important in the Taiwei Mansion, so I'll come back to rest, but you, how did you become like this?"

Gao Shibao was begging for something, he asked Gao Yu to sit on the stone pier, and flattered him and slapped his shoulder, "Dad, you have to help the child think of a way this time!" ”

After listening to Gao Shibao talk about the Oiran Contest and the previous events, Gao Yu squinted and stroked his beard, he smiled and said nothing, but Gao Yanei was a little anxious, "Dad, you really want to help the child, how can you say it, this is also helping the official's family, isn't it?" ”

Gao Yu was still laughing, but when he heard Gao Yanei mention this, his brows locked, he opened his eyes, and shouted a little coldly, "Bao Lang Hugh is talking nonsense, what does the Oiran Contest have to do with the official family?" ”

was drunk like this by Gao Yu, Gao Yanei reacted, almost all the family members of the court knew about the official family and Master Li, but no one dared to say it, because the official family today cares too much about what others say. Sometimes Gao Yanei also looks down on the temperament of the official family, and the Xingxing Bureau has hung up the sign of Master Li, what are you still hiding? If you're really afraid of others gossiping, then don't turn over Master Li's brand.

was unhappy in his heart, but Gao Yanei didn't dare to come out, he lowered his head and hurriedly promised, "Dad, don't be angry, the child will never talk nonsense again!" ”

"You, hey, Baolang, you remember, as long as you don't mess with the official family, no matter what you want, your father will rely on you, but if you mess with the official family, don't blame your father for not protecting you!"

Gao Yu's tone was a little harsh, he was not scared of Gao Yanei, in fact, he knew his own situation very well, and he was able to lead the command of the palace to the captain, which all stemmed from the favor of the official family. Therefore, Gao Yu can only please the official family in everything, and once he loses the favor of the official family, he Gao Yu is useless.

"Dad, don't worry, the child really remembers!"

"Just remember, your mouth is just not too strict!" Back then, Gao Yanei was Gao Yanei's younger brother, and Gao Yu didn't know Gao Yanei's temperament, "The matter of the Oiran Contest you said was approved by my father, but you still have to discuss it with others first!" ”

"Someone else? Oh, Daddy is talking about Cai Wulang and Wang Erlang? ”

Gao Yu nodded but smiled but said nothing, Gao Yanei got instructions and ran towards the courtyard excitedly. Looking at Gao Yanei who ran out, Gao Yu also sighed helplessly.

The Oiran Contest, the official family is naturally concerned, he still wants to let Master Li be the Oiran, as the favorite of the official family, Gao Yu and others always have to do something, but with their identity, they are really not suitable to participate in the Oiran Competition, and they can only let the juniors toss.

Wang Tenghui, Cai? Coupled with Gao Shibao, these three Yanai gathered in the Yuelou, as for what was discussed, it is unknown, in short, since the second day they got together, Tokyo City has exploded a craze for the purchase of peonies. Of course, peonies are not bought casually, you must go to the place designated by the Oiran Contest to buy, where the peonies are numbered, and there are a total of 30,000 peonies used in the Oiran Contest every year, and those peonies that are not numbered are naturally useless.

Due to the three major yamen's actions, the peony flower that was originally fifty yuan a flower was actually fried to the same amount of money in one day, and Zhao Yougong reacted at this time, but when he wanted to collect the peony flower, the money in his hand was not enough.

The three major yamen sold more than 5,000 peony flowers, plus those bought by the official eunuchs' families, it can be said that Master Li has already obtained no less than 8,000 peony flowers. If you want Nian Nu'er to win, you have to buy at least 10,000 flowers. 10,000 peony flowers is 10,000 yuan, where can the Chu Wangfu get so much money today?

Zhao Yougong had a splitting headache, and he was worried in the room for a while, and he came to the courtyard to find Su Ying? s。

Su Ying at this time? S was bending over to tidy up the flower beds in the courtyard, a pink gown and a blue checkered skirt. Cherry? S was engrossed in grooming the phalaenopsis in front of her, but she didn't know how attractive her posture was at this time, the charming buttocks, and the bewitching posture, even if Zhao Yougong looked at it every day, he couldn't help but breathe a little fast.

Hear a voice behind you, Sakura? S put down the small hoe and turned around, wrapped in a goose-white touch chest under the pink jacket, although the clothes are not valuable, but with the cherry blossom? S is surprisingly beautiful.

"County King, is there something wrong with finding a servant?"

"Hmm, Sakura? S, how much money is left in the house? ”

"Huh?" Cherry? S frowned slightly, but when the little king asks for money, it will definitely not be a good thing, so Sakura? S said in a low voice, "The king of the county, there are more than 3,000 yuan left in the house."

More than 3,000? It's too little, it's just a drop in the bucket, and the money to buy peonies is not enough, how to make money? After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Yougong gritted his teeth and said, "Sakura? S, the land in Tongxu Town has been sold in the past two days, it doesn't matter if the price is lower, this king is in a hurry to use the money! ”

Selling land? For Zhao Yougong, it may not feel anything, but Sakura? S knows that most of the expenses in the house over the years have come from the fiefdom of Tongxu Town, if the land is sold, what will the house eat and drink?

Why did Zhao Yougong sell land, Sakura? S knows, she didn't want to take care of it before, but this time she couldn't help it, "King Jun, for that Cui Niannu, do you want to defeat all the inheritance left by the old master?" ”

Listen to Sakura? s trembling voice, Zhao Yougong simply turned around, he didn't want Sakura? S saw his face, because at this time his face was hideous and terrifying, it was a kind of hatred, a kind of catharsis, a kind of mockery.

"Are the lands yours or the king's?"

"Of course it's the county king's!" Cherry? s pressed lips, and blood was already flowing from the lips.

"Since it's the king's, what else do you say? Didn't you hear that the king told you to sell the land? If you can't, Twilight Snow can do it too! ”

Leaving cold words, Zhao Yougong walked straight towards the outside of the courtyard.

Look at that back, Sakura? S squatted down on the flower bed and sobbed silently, she didn't know how long she could endure it, maybe tomorrow, maybe next year, she would go after the poor concubine.

Spring is coming, and the peonies are blooming gorgeously, but this showy is stinging people's hearts.
