At night, both ancient and modern, entertainment venues are always at their busiest.

At this moment, the old bustard was brightly dressed and greeted the guests in the hall with a smile. The two well-dressed waiters at the door had been training for several days, and their bearings were a little extraordinary.

The girls in the hall took out the satin silk clothes at the bottom of the box, looking forward to the guests who arrived tonight.

The vast majority of them have not received real dignitaries for a long time, and the reason is not that their appearance is too poor, but that there are many third-rate kilns in this Hualiu Lane where Fengqi Tower is located, which leads to the environment of the whole street is somewhat unsatisfactory, which indirectly lowers the grade of Fengqi Building, while the Qinghua Lane on the opposite side of the lake is a prosperous and rich place, and the towering green buildings are built with golden brilliance, like a palace.

For the powerful and rich, the richer the place, the more their identity can be revealed, so unconsciously, the real dignitaries and nobles will basically not appear in Hualiu Lane, Fengqilou will gradually twilight with time, most of the time the reception is some small merchants and hawkers, and sometimes there will even be some peddlers and pawns.

Of course, today is an exception, at this moment at the door of Fengqi Tower, there are already full of large and small gorgeous carriages, but the customers in the hall are in different moods. Most of them looked a little ugly after looking at the environment in the hall, and some people were very curious about it, wanting to see what kind of confidence this unpopular Qinglou had, and they dared to come to the door to send stickers.

As the minutes passed, there were more and more guests in the hall, but the bustard still glanced at the door from time to time, because the most powerful boys had not yet arrived.

At this moment, a fat man walked in around the partition in front of the door, followed by several retinues with nostrils facing the sky.

The old bustard was already looking forward to it, and immediately greeted him with a smile: "Young Master Xu, ...... quickly Hurry inside please! ”

"You send a post saying that there's something I like here tonight, what the hell is it?" The fat man walked slowly with his hands in his hands, and his words were inferior.

The old bustard didn't dare to slack off, and immediately said with a smile: "The old slave dares to be cheeky to send stickers to Xu Gongzi's house, that must be prepared, of course, I don't dare to hide it in front of you, the old slave adopted a girl back then, and is now sixteen years old, not only proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also that lovely appearance in Hangzhou City can never find a second one." ”

"And how can such a stunning beauty be cheap for those peddlers and pawns, so after thinking about it, the old slave finally thought that it was rumored that Xu Gongzi is a true gentleman who loves beauty and does not love the country, and you are young and rich, and your status is noble, if you don't invite you to come and have a sneak peek, wouldn't it be criticized!"

Although this sycophant is a little explicit, it is in the hands of the fat man. Although the fat man was born noble, he had two brothers, and he was not taken seriously at home, so over time he completely indulged himself, and he took pleasure in appreciating beauties all day long, and even paid for himself as a connoisseur.

"Well, yes, then I'll wait and see!" The fat man smiled with satisfaction, and followed the bustard into the private room next to the hall.

The two girls who had been waiting for a long time immediately went in to accompany them, and the old bustard wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked out.

"Huh? Prince Wang? ”

As soon as she came out of the private room, the old bustard's eyes lit up, and she immediately walked quickly to greet her, but before she could get close to the person, a thin man sweating profusely blocked her way: "Mom, Brother Tiger has just ......."

Before he finished speaking, the old bustard waved his hand angrily and said angrily, "Don't you see that I'm busy?" I'll talk about that later! ”

The man didn't leave, and said, "Mom, it's really urgent, those people from the Qingle Pavilion can't come!" ”

"What's going on? What's wrong with the people at the Youth Music Center? The old bustard was stunned, and then his face changed greatly, the Qingle Hall is the most famous Qing Qi Hall in Hangzhou, the old bustard for today, but hesitated for a long time before making up his mind to bleed once, and invited them to the station, and the post that was scattered has already written about this matter, if the people of the Qingle Hall do not come, it will cause a fatal blow to the reputation of Fengqi Tower, and it will be difficult to invite any dignitaries and nobles to come in the future!

However, after a short period of distraction, the old bustard still suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "You go and find Huzi for me, and let him wait for me in the backyard later!" ”

As he spoke, the old bustard took a deep breath, straightened his face, and hurriedly walked towards Wang Gongzi, who was already a little unhappy on his face.

Not long after, after the old bustard arranged Wang Gongzi in a private room, he hurried to the backyard, and before anyone arrived, her angry voice echoed in the backyard: "Huzi, what are you doing?" Why didn't the people from the Qingle Pavilion suddenly come! ”

"It's the ghosts of Wanhualou, they threaten the people of the Qingle Pavilion, if they dare to come to us to perform, they won't need their people in the future, and the Qingle Pavilion won't dare to offend them, so ......" said a strong man in the courtyard with an ugly face, his forehead was full of sweat, obviously rushing back in a hurry.

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier!" The old bustard said with red eyes.

"As soon as I received the news, I asked Zhao Si to rush back!" The strong man said very nervously, and the short and thin man next to him nodded hurriedly.

"Then you didn't persuade me?" The old bustard said angrily.

"I persuaded it, but it was useless, Wanhualou had a deep background, and they didn't dare to offend at all, so they doubled the deposit!" As he spoke, the strong man took out a heavy money bag, the old bustard reached out to pick it up, but his hand trembled, and the money bag fell to the ground, and for a moment, she could no longer hold back the anger in her chest, and slapped the strong man suddenly, and the palm print immediately floated on his face.

The old bustard roared hysterically: "I can't do such a trivial thing, what use do I want you?" What do you want? ”

The strong man didn't dare to fight back, bowed his head and said nothing.

The old bustard scolded a few more words, and then he forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart, but there was still anger in his trembling voice that could not be concealed: "What are you doing here, hurry up and find someone for me, go to all the Qingqi Pavilions, and invite someone to me no matter how much money it is!" ”

The strong man nodded, and immediately rushed out, the old bustard thought about it again, and said to the short and thin man with some unease: "Zhao Si, you also look for it, it's really not good, find me some scattered people to come back and support the scene!" ”

However......

Half an hour passed, and several guests with deep backgrounds arrived one after another, but Zhao Si and the two were still nowhere to be seen, and the few Qingqi people who warmed the atmosphere in the hall also left one after another because they had to rush to the scene later, and only one person was willing to sing two more songs, and then they had to leave because of time.

For a while, the old bustard was anxious, but there was no way.

After a while, seeing that the last Qingqi person was about to sing, Zhao Si and the others hurried back, but the faces of the two of them were as ugly as their dead fathers, and behind them were only three women who were very ordinary in appearance and clothing, and they even had patches on their bodies, which looked a little shivering at first glance.

"Mom, I've been to all the Qingqi Pavilions in the city, but ...... But ......," said the strong man, bowing his head, not daring to go on. Zhao Si stood aside with a pale face, not daring to meet the old bustard's gaze at all.

"You...... You ......"

The old bustard was red-faced, pointed at the two of them, and couldn't say a word for a long time.
