A wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a prostitute, a prostitute is not as good as stealing, and stealing is better than stealing. Men are such a lowly animal, often abandoned like a piece of waste, but forever chasing after what does not belong to them.

This is where the brilliance of Shanglin Yuan lies. The Oiran contest is full of beauty, but you can only look at it but not touch it. If you want to kiss Fangze, you have to spend a lot of silver, and there are only a few people who win in the end. The rest of the brothers, the money was spent in vain, so they had to leave with envy, jealousy and hatred. And the more this is the case, the more itchy these people's hearts become, and the more willing they are to throw money next time.

So when the night was dark and the song was about to end, the girl launched by Shanglin Yuan was like a heavy bomb, mobilizing the ** of those disappointed guests again.

But seeing that she was not clothed, her round fragrant shoulders and seductive collarbones were completely exposed to the eyes of all perverts. And the hemp rope tied to her weak body is deeply embedded in the flesh, and there is a hint of abuse, which makes these experienced old prostitutes also feel a different kind of stimulation.

If you look at her face closely, she is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and she is in the prime of her life. But at this moment, her delicate facial features were twisted in extreme pain, and her long hair was disheveled. The most pitiful thing is that she has been crying incessantly, and the crystal tears have already wet a large part of the table under her.

While everyone in the audience was drooling, Jiang Yingqiu shouted loudly: "Everyone! This woman's surname is Bao, and her maiden name is Yulian, the only daughter of Bao Jianyan, the former envoy of Tai Hospital. Because Imperial Doctor Bao committed a serious crime, Long Live Lord strictly ordered to raid the house and confiscate this Miss Yulian into the official register. San Lang is not talented, and spent a thousand taels of gold to buy Miss Yulian to our Shanglin Garden. Tonight's finale is which prime minister has the highest bid, and he can open the bud for Miss Yulian! ”

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar. Although many businessmen have a lot of silver, they have already had three wives and four concubines, but in this era, the emphasis on agriculture and the suppression of business, the so-called Shinong industry and commerce, merchants ranked last, and their social status was not as good as that of ordinary farmers. For Bao Yulian, a lady from a famous official family, it is unattainable. And the higher you can't climb, the more itchy your heart is, and the more you fantasize that one day, you can press the female dependents in the homes of those dignitaries and nobles, and raise your eyebrows and exhale once.

And the official prostitution system just satisfies the obscene and perverted psychology of these businessmen.

Shanglin Yuan is known as a century-old shop, and it has a thorough understanding of the psychology of prostitutes. Don't look at the top brands in the Oiran Contest are all good in color and art, as long as the silver is enough, they will eventually be able to throw themselves into their arms. And what can really make men crazy is still a chick like Bao Yulian who has just entered the Fengyue field and is extremely resistant to prostitutes. Therefore, Bao Yulian made the finale, and really achieved the expected effect that made the guests completely crazy.

When Zhu Youzhen heard the name "Bao Jianyan", he was stunned, thinking that this was not the imperial doctor who treated himself and suffered a heart attack by himself?

He hurriedly asked Lin Youkun beside him: "What's going on?" ”

Lin Youkun also flashed a look of unbearability on his face, and sighed softly: "After Bao Jianyan died of a violent illness a few days ago, he was cited by the people of the Tai Hospital for embezzling five thousand taels of silver, and privately changed the prescription that Banzai often takes, with ill intentions. Long live the anger, and issued a strict order to open the coffin and kill the corpse of Bao Jianyan, and confiscate the whole family. In fact, the Bao family only has Bao Yulian, a woman, but she suffered such a catastrophe, which can really be described as a creation and a trick. ”

Only then did Zhu Youzhen remember that Rui'er had also relayed the queen's words, telling him that Wei Zhongxian killed Jia to kill his mouth, and suspected that Bao Jianyan saved Zhu Youzhen's life and persecuted his family. I just didn't know that this Wei Zhongxian was so vicious that he threw such a delicate and lovely Miss Bao into the devil's cave. Speaking of which, she fell into this kind of fate, which seems to have something to do with herself.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a fever on his face, fidgeting, and no longer dared to fall his greedy gaze on Bao Yulian's trembling delicate body like just now.

Li Zicheng is the best at observing words and feelings, and seeing that Zhu Youzhen's expression is different, he asked with concern: "You Gongzi is uncertain, is he in love with this woman?" ”

Zhu Youzhen felt guilty in his heart, and was shocked when he heard this, and quickly smiled embarrassedly: "No, no, no..."

Li Zicheng smiled slightly, raised his left hand high, and said loudly: "This You Gongzi beside me is willing to give 15,000 taels of silver to redeem Miss Yulian!" ”

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was shocked, and it immediately attracted a burst of envy. You must know that although this bag of Yulian amazed the audience, she is not a well-known newcomer, and it is incomparable with those famous top girls in terms of price. Fifteen thousand taels of silver is enough to redeem the first girl with a slightly smaller name. As for the average Qinglou woman, this number is enough to buy thirty or fifty.

Zhu Youzhen had a different mind. Although he felt sorry for Bao Yulian, he never thought of and did not know how to spend money to redeem her. At this moment, I heard that Li Zicheng made the decision for himself, and he also shot 15,000 taels, and couldn't help but be startled, thinking that don't bankrupt yourself!

Li Zicheng smiled at him quietly: "You Gongzi and sit high, this matter is all on the contemptible." ”

Jiang Yingqiu, the young owner of Shanglin Yuan, was also secretly taken aback, he didn't expect someone to make such a generous move. But he is a person who is used to seeing big scenes, but on the surface, he is silent, and said with a slight smile: "This You Gongzi doesn't know, Miss Yulian has just entered my Shanglin Garden, and the villain's money has not been recovered, how can he redeem himself immediately?" ”

Li Zicheng sneered and said, "Third Master Jiang, didn't you just say with a red mouth and white teeth, bought Miss Bao from the government and spent a thousand taels of gold?" Now the price of gold and silver is only one to nine, is it not enough for You Gongzi to earn 15,000 taels of silver? ”

Jiang Yingqiu had already prepared his rhetoric, and said slowly: "A thousand taels of gold, this is just the cost of buying out." In addition, there are still many expenses such as taking care of official noodles, arranging food and lodging, finding people to serve, and buying fat powder, and how can they spend a mere 15,000 taels of silver? ”

In fact, he was very familiar with the yamen who managed the official prostitutes, and it only cost one hundred taels of silver to buy Bao Yulian. Now it has risen nearly 100 times in a blink of an eye, and I am not satisfied, and when I see that someone is determined to win, I immediately sit on the ground and raise the price, which is really treacherous to the extreme.

Li Zicheng snorted coldly and said, "It's true that Third Master Jiang is the young owner of Shanglin Yuan, but don't treat others as wronged. Fat powder market, everyone doesn't know, you don't have to inch in! In this way, You Gongzi paid 20,000 taels of silver, a fixed price, whether it was successful or not! ”

Jiang Yingqiu wanted to slow down a little longer and sell Bao Yulian for a higher price, but one of his subordinates hurriedly came to the stage and whispered a few words to him. Jiang Yingqiu's complexion suddenly changed a few times, and he glanced at Zhu Youzhen's seat with a little panic, pondered for a moment, and said loudly: "Okay!" Since You Gongzi is so pitiful and cherishes jade, San Lang is not a person who beats mandarin ducks. Twenty thousand taels, deal! Miss Yulian, you are now free, and from now on, you will be You Gongzi's person! ”

All the guests were shocked by Zhu Youzhen's boldness and generosity. The crowd was silent for a moment, and then thundered with joy, congratulating Zhu Youzhen for taking the lead and snatching the finale treasure of Shanglin Yuan.

Several big men immediately loosened their ties for Bao Yulian. Bao Yulian rubbed his arm that was strangled by the rope, but suddenly screamed: "I don't want to follow him!" Even if I let a thousand people ride and ten thousand people crotch, I don't want to follow him! I know him, he is..."

Jiang Yingqiu immediately sank his face and said, "Miss Yulian, I can't help you." This is Shanglin Yuan, I, Jiang Saburo, have said a word, how can you refuse? You also said that you are the daughter of the Tai Hospital? If it weren't for Gongzi You to come to the rescue, I would have wanted to sell you to Mobei and let you taste the taste of the Warat people! ”

Bao Yulian still wanted to argue, but she was pushed and shoved by several big men and sent to Zhu Youzhen's side. Lin Youkun was afraid that she would say more and expose Zhu Youzhen's identity, so he hit her with a little the back of the neck. Bao Yulian immediately became soft and lay down in Zhu Youzhen's arms, not even having the strength to open her mouth to speak.

At this time, it was already the second watch, and everyone gradually dispersed, and Qiao Qitai and other businessmen also said goodbye to Zhu Youzhen, and agreed on the time and place of meeting tomorrow.

Out of Shanglin Garden, Zhu Youzhen and his party got into the carriage that Lin Youkun had already prepared. At this time, Li Zicheng, who had just completed the delivery procedures for Zhu Youzhen, hurriedly chased after him. Zhu Youzhen just wanted to say something, but Li Zicheng hurriedly stopped: "You Gongzi must not shirk. The gentleman has the beauty of an adult, and the contemptible and the son are like each other at first sight, and they want to be closer to your Excellency, and there is no need to remember the trivial things. You Gongzi, can you take a step to speak? ”

Zhu Youzhen had to get out of the car. Li Zicheng saw that Chang Liantian and the others had already gone away, and said in a low voice: "You Gongzi, the villain believes that Gongzi will never only have these 120,000 taels of silver. If there is any silver that you want to deposit in the bank, the villain is willing to provide collateral! ”

Zhu Youzhen suddenly realized, and said that Li Zicheng was so generous to himself, which was equivalent to giving himself 20,000 taels of silver for nothing, it turned out that he wanted to kick out Chang Liantian and others and do bigger business with himself in private. He secretly sighed in his heart that this Li Zicheng is really discerning, his family background is still in the palace, and he didn't have time to expose it! However, since he could provide a guarantee, why not, he immediately agreed happily.

Li Zicheng was overjoyed, and repeatedly made a mockery of Zhu Youzhen, and agreed to discuss it in detail in the future, so he was reluctant to go.

Zhu Youzhen got back into the carriage and asked Lin Youkun, who was riding a horse outside the carriage, "Where are we going now?" ”

Lin Youkun had already arranged to stay at the Changping Inn in the evening. This Changping inn is not far from Zhengyangmen, and it is also a first-class inn in Beijing.

The carriage was urged, Zhu Youzhen leaned against the wall of the carriage, looking at the four sisters of Meilan Zhuju who were close together in the carriage and were sleepy, and Bao Yulian, who pinned her head to the side with hatred and ignored herself, some rather unhealthy thoughts naturally sprouted again.
