Ji Ning was very curious about who was behind this Qi Niang, and he had also thought that Qi Niang should be involved in the struggle between the powerful, but it was a mystery who was the backer behind Qi Niang.

Li Jing, as the prefect of Jinling, for his own power and status, handed over the errand of escorting the oracle bone inscription into the capital to Qi Niang, and Li Jing did not take responsibility, but in the final calculation of credit, Li Jing could get merit, and he could not even offend the people behind Qi Niang.

"Yongning, you know that this person's background is not simple, will there be trouble if she comes up?" Tang Xie saw that the problem was not quite right, Qi Niang would sell two thousand taels of silver as soon as she came, if it was for that kind of top-brand Oiran, it would be forgotten, it was actually a little-known Ji'er, this Ji'er had never heard of it before, saying that she was a talented girl in Jiangnan, it was like a gimmick, in fact, it was self-styled by the people of Tianxianglou.

Ji Ning waved his hand, which meant that he could deal with this matter, Tang Xie was silent.

For Tang Xie and Han Yu and others, it is not impossible to get acquainted with a mysterious big man, before they felt that the origin of the scholar sitting on the third floor opposite was not simple, and he was the protagonist today, but after the arrival of Qi Niang, the situation was different.

In the case of Qi Niang coming upstairs, the middle-aged scholar on the opposite side didn't intend to look at this side, but was studying with a cup of tea in his hand, as if there was a problem in that cup of tea.

"Ji'er is really a blessing, today I met a customer who is willing to spend money, how about letting Ji'er present another song for this big customer today?" Ru Niang's face is as bright as a flower, and her age is at most three or five years older than Qi Niang, but in terms of demeanor, appearance, and charm, it is completely two equals, Ji Ning feels that it is also a flower, Qi Niang still has a delicate charm on her body, and Ru Niang is completely disgusted by people like a dog's tail flower.

Qi Niang finally came upstairs, saluted Ji Ning, smiled and saluted Tang Xie and the others, and then sat down, and sat next to Ji Ning, as if she deliberately wanted to be close to Ji Ning.

Qi Niang said: "No need, this girl's talent is very appreciated here, but some charms need to be shown elsewhere, if you show it here, you will lose a sense of mystery." ”

In a word, it made the people present smile, and the people present probably misunderstood the meaning of Qi Niang, and imagined that Qi Niang's "other place" was a woman's boudoir, and understood the performance as the joy of the bed.

Ji Ning thought to himself: "Sure enough, the people in this place are more direct in their thinking, how high they are in front of these Qingqi people on weekdays, but in fact, there are also some thoughts of male thieves and female prostitutes in their hearts." This Qi Niang is also hiding needles when she speaks, so it's better to be careful with her. ”

After Ji'er saluted, she continued to finish her calligraphy performance, and then she was about to retreat, Qi Niang said: "Give ten more flowers as tea money for this girl!" ”

Qi Niang didn't seem to remember Ji'er's name at all, also because she was a woman, and naturally she didn't come to a place like Qinlou Chu Pavilion to spend a good night with the women here, as for why she would give out so much silver at one time, Ji Ning was also wondering in her heart.

It's like an opening momentum, Ji Ning expected that Qi Niang was just showing her wealth and generosity, so that others would remember her, and maybe Qi Niang's purpose was to target the old scholar opposite.

……

……

After Qi Niang sat down, she didn't have too much restraint, and she didn't have a word of conversation with Ji Ning, but what she said was just a question and an answer, and the questions were very superficial, Ji Ning didn't directly ask Qi Niang about her origin, Ji Ning felt that this Qi Niang was deliberately getting close to her, and he also had to guard against the revelation of the oracle bone sacrifice.

After that, the girls who appeared began to increase, but because there were not many girls in the Tianxiang Building in Jinling City, there were not many girls, and among them, the famous, or the ones that the scholars of Jinling City remembered, were only the Oiran Liu in last year.

Most of the people present actually came for Liu Ruyi, hoping to kiss Fangze, even if it was just a flower in the end, it may not be their turn when drawing lots and drawing lots, as if they were just here to buy a hope.

It took more than an hour for the show to come to an end.

Ru Niang came out and said: "Distinguished guests, the last one to appear today is a talented and learned person in our Jinling City, who has been obsessed with it and made poems for it, and even spared a thousand dollars in order to be a guest of the curtain. It's our Liu Ruyi, Miss Liu, please come out! ”

Hearing that it was "Liu Ruyi", many of the people present stood up, and most of the black pressure stood up, looking at the curtain between the back hall and the main hall, which was where Liu Rushi appeared.

Ji Ning didn't look at it, he was observing the old scholar opposite, as well as Qi Niang beside him.

He cared about the reaction of these two people, to determine what conspiracy was hidden behind this Oiran Conference, according to Ji Ning's previous judgment, this Tianxianglou Oiran Conference, in addition to the saying that Tianxianglou wants to create a gimmick to open its popularity, it also has the intention of making friends and clinging to the powerful, Liu Ru is too important in the Tianxianglou system, an Oiran was sold so hastily, even if it can open up the popularity, it is also a huge loss to Tianxianglou.

Unless it is someone who gets Liu Ru is who can bring great political convenience to Tianxiang Lou, then Liu Ru is vicious "sacrifice" will be valuable, but Ji Ning doesn't think that there is anything magical about the old scholar opposite.

Ji Ning thought to himself: "This old scholar doesn't look like he is an official in the court, his age is like a nobleman, but the personal soldiers he leads are not family soldiers, which means that he is sitting in the yamen...... Is this also a staff member? ”

Thinking of this, Ji Ning's train of thought seemed to be clear, the person Tianxianglou wanted to stammer, or the person Tianxianglou wanted to give Liu Ru is to, was not the old scholar opposite, but the main owner behind the old scholar, and this old scholar was probably just the person who came out to "inspect the goods" and "receive the goods".

"Ji Gongzi, I heard that you are in Jinling City, and you have some relationship with this Miss Liu?" Qi Niang asked suddenly.

Ji Ning didn't expect Qi Niang to investigate him, he smiled and said, "How does Your Excellency know?" ”

"It's all hearsay, Ji Gongzi's talent and learning have always been good, and now that he has passed the exam, it is the time to make great progress, has Ji Gongzi ever thought about whether he will be a strategist or a strategist in the future?" Qi Niang asked.

"This son, our brother's usual ambition is to enter the Temple of Literature and achieve something, as for serving the imperial court, that is just the idea of mediocre people like us. If you don't want to annoy people, there are some things that you should wait for you to understand clearly. Han Yu's tone was a little unkind.

Qi Niang smiled, didn't say much, and turned her eyes to Liu Rushi downstairs, at this time Liu Rushi had already begun to perform her talent, that is, playing the piano and whisking.
