Chapter 177: The willow of the Lingering Incense Pavilion

Qin Xianglian and Gui Gong's jaws were about to drop, the first time someone wrapped the girl with 10,000 taels of silver, it was still for their own subordinates. Qin Xianglian simply loved this young man who was less than thirty years old (in fact, he was already in his thirties) to death, thinking that if he was ten years younger, he would definitely chase him after him even if he was desperate, he could stick it upside down, he was so handsome and so rich.

In that kind of entertainment place, the man with a big hand will always attract everyone's attention, the women are willing to go crazy for him, and the men are envious and jealous and want to make friends with him. Gao Huan casually blew up the entire Liuxiang Pavilion. So the girls who didn't pick up the guests all ran out to see this wealthy and handsome boy.

Qingluo said angrily on the side: "What kind of rich man are you pretending, and you still come to this kind of place to pretend." After saying that, he turned his face and ignored him, Gao Huan laughed and said: "Wealth goes to people's happiness, and coming here is to spend money to buy a sense of existence, do you understand if you are looking for stimulation?" Qin Xianglian and Gui Gong couldn't understand his words, but they knew that this boy still had a lot of silver tickets in his pocket, and they couldn't wait to keep him and never let him go.

Qin Xianglian rubbed Gao Huan with a charming smile, and asked in a soft voice while attacking him with a meat ball: "What is the name of the childe, who is the person?" Married or not, what kind of girl do you like, what do you think of me? Qingluo scolded angrily: "Shameless, do you think you are investigating the household registration, asking in such detail?" He is not interested in an old cabbage like you, so you should die as soon as possible. ”

Gao Huan sat in the hall and laughed without saying a word, at this time Gao Zhongming had been pushed and shoved by the girls to go to the private room on the second floor, he didn't look back at Gao Huan with a bitter face, this was obviously a show, and he couldn't tell how happy he was in his heart. Qin Xianglian asked Gui Gong to serve Gao Huan the best tea: Longjing tea from West Lake Yugong. This was obtained from the palace by her spending a lot of money, and the entire Qinhuai River is only here that she has such a high-grade supply of tea. But only noble guests can drink such excellent tea after consumption.

Just when Qin Xianglian and Gao Huan kept introducing those girls, there was a sudden noise in a box on the second floor, and the noise was very loud.

The most popular girl in the whole Liuxiang Pavilion is a girl named Liu Ruyan, she is eighteen years old, and her appearance is not excellent, but her strength is not that she is proficient in poetry, songs, chess, calligraphy and painting, but that she has a kind of charm that makes people want to stop, a soul-stirring voice, graceful and elegant dancing, high-spirited piano skills, and flowing calligraphy and painting. These characteristics of her made those upper-class nobles and the children of the family lords in Jiankang City crazy to flock to her. Many princes and children of the scholar clan threatened to marry her as a concubine, but she laughed and was not moved.

Speaking of this Liu Ruyan, she was originally a native of Pengcheng, Wei State, her father was a local salt merchant, because the family property was Wanguan, so she grew up in **** since she was a child, and her father spent a lot of money to invite a famous teacher in Luoyang to teach and guide her. When she was fourteen years old, her father happened to be framed by an adulterer because he was implicated in the case of the Erzhu family, so Xuzhou Assassin Shi sentenced her father to death in accordance with Gao Huan's order, and the family property was confiscated, and the whole family was punished as slaves to hard labor in southern Xuzhou.

Because her uncle was also a businessman, the family had a little money, so he ransomed her and took her to live in Jiankang in Nanliang. At the age of sixteen, her uncle's business went bankrupt and he committed suicide due to a huge debt, and she was sold to the Lingering Fragrance Hall by her ruthless aunt. At first, she wanted to escape several times in the Liuxiang Pavilion, but she was caught and beaten by the turtle father, and then she went on a hunger strike to seek death, Qin Xianglian asked people to pry open her mouth and pour food into it, so after a few tosses, she was no longer a human and dying.

At that time, there was a sixteen-year-old girl named Yaoqin in the Liuxiang Pavilion, who was also the illegitimate daughter of a big family, and was sold here after the family was backward, she and Liu Ruyan had the same fate and had a rough life, so she persuaded her not to kill herself, and temporarily lived in this fireworks alley first, and waited for the one day the wishful person to redeem her. The two complained to each other back and forth, feeling that the two had the same illness and sympathy for each other, so they became sisters.

Qin Xianglian was originally happy to hear that Liu Ruyan promised that she could pick up customers, but when she heard Yaoqin say that she only sold her art and not her body, she immediately asked Gui Gong to beat and persecute her. Yaoqin persuaded Qin Xianglian: If the girl she bought with great difficulty is really killed, it will also be a waste of money, it is better to let me teach her some skills to charm men first, after all, she is still young and does not know how to please men, maybe she will agree after a year or two, why rush.

Qin Xianglian is right to think about it, and from then on, Yaoqin was responsible for teaching Liu Ruyan how to talk to men, how to drink with men, how to be elegant with men, and how to make men linger with her. Some people say that why Yaoqin knows these things at a young age, and it is also very miserable to talk about her past, she was sold to the Liuxiang Pavilion at the age of fourteen, and on the first day she was drunk by Qin Xianglian and sold her virginity to a foreigner in Jiankang.

Yaoqin has a charming appearance, looks very beautiful, is good at makeup, her makeup is different every time she picks up customers, and Qin Xianglian relied on her to open up the reputation of the Lingering Fragrance Pavilion. After Liu Ruyan came, Qin Xiang Lotus paid a lot of money to promote her, both ability and political integrity, talent and color, and so on, and those literati and saw Liu Ruyan herself and talked to her, and they all fell under her pomegranate skirt.

Gradually, there are more and more guests who want to meet with Liu Ruyan, and their identities are more noble than the other, and even the big officials such as Shangshu in the court have privately wanted to meet with her and plan to kiss Fang Ze, her worth is skyrocketing, which can make Qin Xianglian happy, when I heard Yaoqin's words, it was really right, this Liu Ruyan is not selling her body or not, and now it is a golden signboard, and those talented people who hook up with him are tossing and turning.

There is a man named Xu Yang who is full of learning in the south to come to Jiankang to study, since he saw Liu Ruyan in the Liuxiang Pavilion, since then he has been haggard for Yi and suffered from serious lovesickness. In order to make up enough money to meet Ruyan for tea and chat, he sold all the valuable things on his body, including his coat and horse, and when he saw Liu Ruyan again, the man in his thirties actually cried bitterly. But wealth goes to people's comfort, and he spent all his money just to see her, and he didn't even have a chance to kiss Fang Ze, Xu Yang didn't regret it, even if he begged all the way home, he didn't regret it.

The charm of this willow is so great, and it is unique on the bank of the Qinhuai River. On the night when Gao Huan and the three of them came, the distinguished guest received by Liu Ruyan in the box on the second floor was Gu Yuantan, one of the four sons of the capital (referring to Jiankang), his father was Xiao Daoquan's Taifu and the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu, Shangzhu State, and his status was extraordinary. This Gu Gongzi has been trying to get wind and rain since he was a child, and no one dares to disobey him. He had heard of Liu Ruyan's name earlier, and he had always suffered from not having the opportunity to avoid his father to come to the Qinhuai River.

It just so happened that the day before yesterday, his father was ordered to go south to Fujian to quell the rebellion and preach the teachings, so he got out of the cage and went to this fireworks and willow alley to have fun. The servants brought him to this Liuxiang Pavilion, which was considered to be his heart, as soon as he entered the door, he was clamoring to see the girl Ruyan, Qin Xianglian knew that his identity was noble, and he couldn't afford to provoke him, so he immediately asked Master Zhu, a university scholar who was still in the Ruyan room, to retreat and make room for Xu Gongzi. This Liu Ruyan also respects Lord Zhu's literary talents, and the two talked happily with each other, and suddenly a young man Xu who had never met a face suddenly appeared inexplicably, and she was very disgusted and angry in her heart.

This Xu Gongzi swaggered up to the second floor under the leadership of Gui Gong and came to the door of Liu Ruyan's private room, he raised his hand to push the door in, turned to Gui Gong and said: "Don't bother if you have nothing to do, I will pack this girl like smoke tonight." The turtle man hurriedly nodded yes. Xu Gongzi turned around and looked around the whole room, sure enough, the layout was very elegant, the walls were all famous calligraphy and paintings of the Southern Dynasty, and there was Wang Xizhi's orchid pavilion on the screen in front of the bedroom, and the room was filled with a fragrance of lotus flowers.

There is also a guqin lying horizontally on the wall, and a pair of small dancing shoes are placed on the cabinet next to it. A tulle-like coat hung on the chair in front of the coffee table, where two cups of tea were placed, as if someone had just drunk tea here. Xu Gongzi couldn't help but feel a little jealous in his heart, so he sat down in front of the coffee table, picked up a new cup and poured himself a drink, and shouted behind the screen: "I said like a smoke girl, let's come out almost." Avoiding it like this is not the way to be hospitable. ”

At this time, Liu Ruyan, who was dressed in white pajamas and had disheveled hair, came out from behind the screen, deliberately stretching lazily, as if he had just rested. Gu Gongzi asked casually, "Why is the girl resting just now?" Liu Ruyan smiled at him slightly, but did not answer, but walked forward like a willow in the breeze and personally poured a cup of tea into his teacup, and then sat down in front of the dresser not far away to comb his hair.

Gu Gongzi got up and walked behind her, looking at Ruyan, who had black hair on her back to her, this woman is indeed like a lady in the legend, but I am afraid that in this fireworks willow alley has already been a broken flower, looking at the way she just got up, before thinking about it, there were two tea sets on the coffee table before, and she must have slept with a man. This Gu Gongzi has been an arbitrary little bully since he was a child, he wants the best in everything, and he has to eat the first bite of any good word. If you don't want it, you can throw it to your subordinates to share.

He is so kind of food and clothing, and the same is true for women, and he is very possessive, even if he has nothing to do with him at the moment, Ruyan, his heart is strongly filled with vinegar, and he scolds angrily in his heart: This shameless woman still has the face to say that she is not selling her body, I think she is an inferior horse that has been ridden by 10,000 people a long time ago, and she pretends to be high in front of me. Thinking of this, Gu Gongzi opened his mouth and asked: "I don't know which son was in the girl's room just now, the girl looks very delicate after a cloud and rain." As he spoke, he touched her shoulders and hair.

This hair is so soft, it feels so refreshing to hold in the hand, and the shoulders are also very soft, like smoke, as the name suggests, it is a weak ****** like smoke. It's a pity that Gu Gongzi miscalculated Liu Ruyan's temperament, Ruyan heard his disrespectful words, and suddenly stood up and turned around and glared at him: "This is a fireworks field, it's normal to have guests come and do anything, how can Gongzi care so much about other people's private affairs, do you still have such a habit?" ”

Gu Yuantan was stunned by her, and then said a little annoyed: "Didn't you say that you don't sell your art?" I see that you have long been a broken flower and a willow, and you are still pretending to be a high-minded and lowly woman with me, believe it or not, I will publicize this matter so that you can't stay in this Qinhuai River!? Liu Ruyan was also angry when he heard this, and immediately said loudly: "Son, who are you, why do you come to dictate my affairs, whether I sell my body or not, it all depends on my own preferences, I can see that the guests who come are willing to take a penny, and I don't want to touch me even if the guests who come are bankrupt." Childe, you can talk to whoever you want. ”

Gu Yuantan was so depressed in his chest that he was so angry that he was angry, which was clearly saying that he was nosy, and immediately scolded: "You shameless and cheap bitch, pretending to be a noble person to cheat people out of money, today my Uncle Xu will let the world see through your true face." With that, he grabbed Liu Ruyan's wrist and pulled it out. This Liu Ruyan also resisted desperately and shouted: "You let go, you scratch me, you let go!" Gu Yuantan didn't pay attention to Liu Ruyan's shouting at all, the two of them tore and dragged in the house, and the vases, tables, chairs and benches in the room were all knocked over to the ground.

Qin Xianglian pushed open the door and saw this scene, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull the two away, but Gu Gongzi had a lot of strength, she couldn't separate herself, and scolded the turtle outside the door: "You are a dead man, watching there, why don't you hurry over and help pull the two of them apart." Gu Gong ran in and wanted to hug Gu Gongzi, but he kicked him away, Gu Yuantan scolded loudly: "Damn slave, you dare to come forward to help?" (To be continued.) )
