Chapter 25: The Gentleman

The woman sitting opposite Wu Lan under the lamp was Pei Yang's and Yang Huahua.

It's just a light sweep of the moth eyebrows, thin powder, but under the lamp, it is still a country and a city, and Wu Lan and Wu Lan are good at winning, and Li Xi has a moment of distraction for a while.

Wu Lansheng is beautiful and elegant, beautiful and pleasant, while Pei Yang's is beautiful and arrogant and domineering.

Both of them are peerless beauties, and it is difficult to sit on each other under the lamp for a while, which makes people feel like they are in a dream.

Seeing Li Xi push the door in, looking distracted, Yang Huahua just smiled faintly, but said: "Mr. Zi said that he has a greedy baby in his hand, how can he complain about disturbing people late at night?" ”

Li Xi rubbed his brows, thinking to himself why this woman always gave people an aggressive feeling?

Please, you're begging me right now!

Knowing that it couldn't be erased tonight, Li Xi simply took the door and walked into the room after a short period of distraction.

Yang Huahua saw the opportunity early, knowing that the new wine in her hand contained huge business opportunities and wealth, so she caught up again and again.

But that's what I originally planned!

At this time, Wu Lan had already stood up and said, "There is a book that I am halfway reading, but I can't bear to drop it, so I will continue to accompany the bookmaker, you can talk." After that, he just glanced at Li Xi deeply, and then turned around and entered the inner study.

Seeing her close the door, Li Xi walked to the place where she was sitting just now and sat down, looked at Pei Yang's Yang Huahua with a helpless look, and said, "Okay, since the young lady has already chased her to the house, then I will open the skylight and say something." The young lady insists on buying my shares in the new wine, so may I ask, there are so many rich people in Shuzhou, why do I have to cooperate with you? ”

Yang Huahua smiled when she heard this, but she didn't answer and asked: "Does Mr. test me?" ”

Saying that, she actually sat up, "Mr. is full of alcohol, I think it is not suitable to talk about things here, the concubine is a gentleman to order a tea soup to sober up, and also ask Mr. to taste the craftsmanship of the concubine, how about it?" ”

Li Xi waved his hand when he heard this, "The night is already thick, the young lady is afraid that it will be inconvenient to stay for a long time, so you can avoid ordering tea and soup, since the young lady knows that she wants to test you, then just say it." ”

Yang Huahua hesitated when she heard this, and sat back indifferently, but smiled at Li Xi, "The concubine arranged for the carriage to come and pick me up at the beginning of the day, it's still early, we have time to talk slowly." ”

Li Xi was stunned when she heard this, if she didn't know that this Pei Yang was a woman who was extremely powerful and smart, this sentence alone would make her misunderstand that the other party was seducing herself!

And look closely, under the light, Pei Yang's upper body is only wearing a silver-red silk piping Luo Yun shirt, the peony and green leaf rolling embroidered bust on the chest wraps the two balls of bulging and tender flesh tightly and almost angrily, and the large piece of exposed skin under the slender and white neck is even smoother like satin, white and greasy, and it is so delicate and snow that it is extremely greedy......

If that's all there is to it, that's it.

At this moment, she was sitting under the lamp, although the arrogance of Ling Ran was undiminished, but there seemed to be another indescribable lazy attitude, and between her eyebrows, it seemed to imply spring......

Li Xi tapped his fingers on his thighs with an embarrassed wry smile.

Well, I have to admit that I am indeed a little, but the problem is, if such a beautiful woman puts on such a posture to tempt you, as long as it is a normal man, who can not be lustful?

However, if you are tempted at this time, the price is too great.

At the moment, I haven't even taken care of the mess behind my ass, and I don't seem to have the capital to spend a lot of money in order to make a smile!

At this time, Yang Huahua suddenly covered her mouth and smiled, glanced at Li Xi proudly, and then put away the style just now, and asked, "No matter who you sell it to, does Mr. have a plan in mind?" As she spoke, she leaned back slightly, leaning on the thin cushion behind her, and her sleeves were gently turned over to her knees, and her attitude was so leisurely that it did not seem like talking about business, but as if she was telling her subordinates something.

At the beginning, she was defeated for a while, which made Li Xi feel a burst of fire in her heart, and when she saw her posture again, Li Xi couldn't help but sit up and said lightly: "Twenty percent, 600,000 yuan." ”

"If it is not my expectation, the Liu family and your third uncle must have been mixed in, then, what was sold to the Liu family, as well as your third uncle, is also at this price?"

"It's all 20%, 400,000 yuan per family."

Yang Huahua nodded when she heard this, pondered for a moment, and said, "In this way, 600,000 yuan is not expensive." ”

Li Xi frowned when he heard this.

From the very beginning, he learned some bits and pieces about this woman from the mouth of the third uncle, Li Xi was curious about the appearance of such a unique woman in this feudal era, and later in her house, the two had the opportunity to sit opposite each other and talk nonsense, and he admired the amazing beauty and amazing wisdom of this woman.

In the face of such a woman who makes most of the men in the world embarrassed, it can always arouse more desire to conquer in the hearts of men, rather than being conquered by the other party.

The same is true for Li Xi.

Therefore, he will repeatedly hang the other party's appetite, he will repeatedly ignore the other party's very sincere conditions, and even be unwilling to talk, in order to keep himself a sense of psychological superiority in the negotiation between the two sides.

But no matter how much he calculates, it seems that as long as he meets this woman who is proud to the bone, he will immediately be scattered by her few tricks, and the psychological advantages he has accumulated in the early stage will be knocked away at once.

Hearing her say frankly that it was not expensive, Li Xi's body couldn't help leaning forward slightly, and said, "It's not expensive, so some people are willing to ask for it." ”

Yang Huahua sat up straight when she heard this, looked at Li Xi with a light smile, raised her hand and stretched out three fingers, and said, "Three reasons, I hope Mr. can consider the concubine." ”

Hearing that she finally loosened her tone, Li Xi didn't even have the slightest expression on her face, but said calmly: "Young lady, please speak." ”

Yang Huahua smiled and put away two fingers, "First, at that time, in the name of Mr., he stooped down to my house to do the accounting room to defile himself, so that at that time, there were rumors outside, although Mr. had come forward to refute the rumors, but he also claimed that he liked widows, you said this, but it gave people a feeling that they were getting darker and darker, and how to deal with themselves in front of people after the lack of concubines?" Therefore, the gentleman owes the concubine a favor. ”

Li Xi was slightly stunned when he heard this, he originally thought that Yang Huahua would mention Jingnu, but if he mentioned this, he didn't feel anything in his heart. Regardless of her life experience or appearance and temperament, Jingnu is indeed a lovely woman, but it is only limited to pity, she once showed concern when Li Xi was ruined by everyone, and Li Xi also gave her a chance to regain life when she was most disappointed.

But she put aside the matter of Jingnu, and only mentioned the issue of "liking widows", on the one hand, Li Xi couldn't refute anything, on the other hand, if she put Jingnu as one of the conditions, she would make herself feel disimpressed, but she didn't mention Jingnu, but she made herself feel as if she owed her!

But...... Obviously, I have nothing to do with Jingnu!

Therefore, when Li Xi heard the words, he pondered for a moment, and couldn't help but look up at her deeply, seeing that she had a smile in her eyes, the corners of her lips were slightly curled, Li Xi nodded and sighed, and said, "Okay, this...... Count one. But I couldn't help but think in my heart, this woman's mind is too deep, and she doesn't forget to turn her eyes at such a time.

At that moment he asked, "What about the second?" ”

Yang Huahua let out a second finger when she heard this, "Second, after Mr. Lai brews this kind of wine, he should know that this wine will be marketed all over the world in the future, then, Lord Liu, as the Sima of a mere state, is afraid that he will not always be able to take care of the safety of the business and not be coveted." Although the third uncle of the concubine is not a high-ranking official, he is an official in the eastern capital of Luoyang, and he needs to build a line on it in the future, and the concubine is confident that the third uncle still has some way to go. ”

After a pause, she said again: "Moreover, the concubine body is thinking about it, this should be one of the reasons why Mr. had to choose the concubine's house as a place for self-defilement, right?" I don't know this, can the gentleman allow it? ”

Li Xi stared at her two slender fingers that were as tender as shallots, nodded helplessly, and acquiesced in his guess, and said, "This one is also reasonable." ”

In fact, the reason why Li Xi chose her as one of the partners of a rootless widow portal at the beginning was because she had already hit her family in Luoyang. It's just that later, as Li Xi's understanding of this Pei Yang clan deepened, he felt that that one was only secondary.

And if you deal with this matter now, maybe it will be better for your father-in-law to say that Zhou Qionglai will become a shareholder at this time, you know, Zhou Qiong's wife is the youngest daughter of Zhang Jiuling, the waiter of the Ministry of Industry of the Central Committee of the DPRK, and this relationship will go to heaven. It's just that Zhou Qiong may not be able to look down on this kind of business, and secondly, this Shuzhou is under his rule after all, even if he buys shares in the name of his family, he can't escape the bad comment of "serving as an official for one term and benefiting his own body".

Although everyone knows that the combination of government and business is the real official and business way.

At this time, Yang Huahua released a third finger and said: "As for the third, since I heard that Mr. went to the concubine's house to do the accounting room, the concubine has been curious about Mr. When everyone sneered at Mr., the only concubine was a little woman who firmly believed that Mr. must have something in his heart, and later learned that Mr. made wine, and the concubine almost expected every move of Mr. Although he was always one step behind Mr., but he also boasted that he could be commensurate with Mr. Confidant. ”

Speaking of this, she saw Li Xi nodding slightly, then she sighed softly, with a faint smile on the corner of her lips, and said: "In the world of time, men are all crowns, women are just the play objects of the back house, but the concubine is not talented, but she is unwilling to be only the plaything of others, so she wants to be excited, but she can't do it, and she can only rely on a little trick of a little woman to maintain it so far." Seeing Mr. himself, if he sees the clouds, in this world, he can make a concubine physically and mentally convinced, and only Mr. is alone! The concubine dares not to measure herself, and she is willing to attach the tail to the horse, and Mr. Wanwang will carry one or two! ”

As she spoke, she actually pushed the case and bowed to the ground.

If Li Xi was only surprised when he heard her say that she was unwilling to be someone else's plaything, at this moment, seeing her bow like a man, he was suddenly frightened to stand up and stretch out his hand to help, but he hesitated for a few moments, "The young lady is serious, I don't dare to have such a reputation in the next place, please get up quickly, I don't dare to accept the young lady's worship in any case." …… But I agree with all three of your reasons. ”

After a pause, seeing Pei Yang raising his head and looking at him, he sighed and said, "600,000 yuan, I sold it to you." ”

Yang Huahua smiled when she heard this, and then, she actually bowed to the ground and bowed again.

Then she got up, she glanced at Li Xi with a light smile, then glanced at the closed study door, and said lightly: "This Miss Wu is well-versed in matters and has profound knowledge, please invite her to talk to her for a few days, is it okay?" ”

Li Xi frowned at first when she heard this, and then realized that this woman, after what she said to follow Ji, she had just agreed, and she immediately started the idea of avoiding suspicion, and at this time, she opened her mouth to invite Wu Lan to come over as a guest, did she want her to be a microphone?

But after thinking about it, Li Xi still nodded.

In fact, for such a woman who is very attractive to him, but she is powerless to conquer at the moment, Li Xi always subconsciously feels that it is safe to stay away from her.

Yang Huahua saw him nodding, so she smiled, and didn't have anything to say at the moment, just turned her head to look at the study, and said, "Then Ming said that the concubine sent a car to pick her up." When he had finished speaking, he immediately got up and took his leave.

Li Xi sent her out, and when she opened the courtyard door, she found that in the dark shadow building, there were already a few people waiting here at the door of her house.

When those people lit the lantern and escorted Pei Yang's family away, Li Xi couldn't help patting his forehead.

At this time, thinking back to the seductive posture she put on in the room just now, and then thinking about the mysterious smile on her face under the faint yellow light of the lantern when she said goodbye just now, she unconsciously broke into a cold sweat.

"This woman is too ghostly, finally Lao Tzu has good concentration, and she didn't fall for her!"

※※※

After bolting the courtyard door, he turned his head back, and the light in the study was like a bean.

Pushing the door in, Li Xi was stunned at first, and saw that she had changed into a red wedding dress at some point.

Wu Lan looked up, Li Xi came back to his senses and smiled at her, and when he lowered his head, he just caught a glimpse of a small stack of cut red paper on the bookcase.

The flaming red pieces of paper, each with the word "Xi" on it.

Li Xi was slightly stunned when he saw this.

Wu Lan originally looked at him with a smile, but when she saw that he was stunned, she unconsciously lowered her head, hesitated for a moment before whispering: "The concubine knows that she has a special identity, in this life, let alone marrying into someone else's main room, it is for the concubine, I am afraid that no one dares to ask for it, and even being a singer has been sent around." Therefore, the concubine didn't dare to think about anything, but ......"

She picked up a cut of the big red word "Xi", stared at it for a moment with low eyebrows, and said, "The concubine just wants this word, wants to wear this clothes, and ...... Xianggong, slave slave as long as tonight night, okay? It will be fine for one night, and tomorrow morning if no one will see it, and the slave will surely take them all uncovered, and burn them all along with this garment, so that no one will see them......"

Speaking of this, she raised her head to look at Li Xi and asked timidly, "Okay?" ”

Her mournful and self-pitying monologue immediately moved Li Xi.

Nowadays, the Tang Dynasty has a system, in addition to the entry of the main wife, other concubines and so on even if they want to celebrate when they enter, they are not allowed to wear red clothes, they are not allowed to open the word "Xi", they are only allowed to light red candles, and even on the hairpin ring accessories and the like that women wear, there are also many complicated exquisiteness, which is naturally the rule formulated in the ancient feudal era in order to suppress the social status of women to the greatest extent, but this rule is of great significance for maintaining the current wife and concubine system, and even so big that it is important to maintain the etiquette system of the entire dynasty. Therefore, although Li Xi has never taken these things seriously in his heart, in the hearts of the women of the Tang Dynasty, this rule is obviously extremely important.

What woman in this world doesn't want to be welcomed into a new home covered with "Xi" in a red wedding dress? Who is willing to go to someone else's house to be a concubine who is angry and controlled? This is also the purpose of the imperial court in the past dynasties to formulate the ethics and etiquette of husband and wife.

It's just that this kind of treatment of wearing red and wearing a wedding dress is something that ordinary people's daughters can enjoy when they get married, and Wu Lan, as a descendant of a generation of empress Wu Zetian, is obviously a noble birth, but it is such a simple request, such a simple treatment, but for her, it can only become a delusion!

was about to hand over her body to a man, and she finally had the courage to come up with the idea of only sticking it overnight to meet her most basic and simplest requirements as a woman, but even her voice was thin and small, as if she was afraid that Li Xi would be displeased after hearing it.

At the moment, looking at the expectation and timidity on her beautiful and plump face, Li Xi somehow felt a sour nose, walked over in three or two steps, and hugged her in his arms.

The burning ** when facing her in the afternoon is actually dissipated at this moment, and all that is left is indescribable pity.

Li Xi picked up a piece of paper-cut and looked at it carefully for a long time, and said with a smile: "It's so beautiful!" Lan'er, I don't want you to be wronged, just dare to quietly stick it overnight and get married, one day, I want you to marry you with a beautiful scenery and a happy heart! ”

Wu Lan breathed a sigh of relief quietly when she heard this, but her pretty face leaned on Li Xi's chest, and she said happily: "If you can wear this red wedding dress overnight, and you can paste the red word 'Xi' in this room all night, the slave will already be content." ”

Li Xi shook his head, pushed her away, and said: "Lan'er, you are obviously the queen of the emperor, and your status is noble, but you can't even enjoy such a minimum treatment, I want you to be unbearable." You put all these things away, put them away, and wait for me with confidence, one day, I will definitely let you wear this red wedding dress, and marry you to a big courtyard full of red 'Xi' characters, so that you can be my bride in style. ”

Wu Lan was taken aback at first when she heard this, and when she looked up and saw the sincerity in his eyes, she believed that he was not joking, and at that moment, a surprise that could not be concealed flashed in her eyes!

It was this surprise that seemed to make her suddenly come to life, and the whole person was full of grief, and it was an indescribable joy of ease and escape.

Then, to Li Xi's surprise, she took the initiative to reach out for the first time, wrapped her arms around Li Xi's neck, hung on Li Xi on tiptoe, raised her head and took the initiative to kiss Li Xi on the lips.

Looking at each other affectionately for a long time, she said faintly: "Li Lang, thank you for treating me like this!" ”

※※※

Ah Jin had been waiting anxiously in the carriage, and suddenly felt that there seemed to be some light outside, she was shocked, and reached out to lift the curtain, but saw a line of lanterns coming out of the small alley, and immediately breathed a long sigh of relief.

got up and got out of the car to greet her, she took Pei Yang's left arm from a little maid's hand, and while helping her into the car, she whispered, "What's wrong?" ”

Pei Yangshi didn't answer when she heard this, until the two of them sat down in the carriage and the car started to start with a creak, she smiled faintly, "Return!" ”

Ah Jin stroked his palms when he heard this, "Amitabha." He hurriedly pulled Pei Yang's sleeve and asked, "He...... Didn't do anything, did you? ”

Pei Yang smiled and said, "We all misjudged him, don't look at him on the outside, he looks free and uninhibited on the outside, and he looks like an invisible prodigal son, but in fact, he is ...... in his bones The decent ones are very good, and the gentlemanly ones are very good! ”

※※※

On the small couch in the study, Li Xi recalled the slippery taste left on his fingertips, thinking about Wu Lan's appearance when she fled from her arms with a smile just now, she couldn't help but scratch her heart with a hundred claws.

He. Mother. Yes, why is Lao Tzu confused for a while, what kind of righteous gentleman he is!

It's okay now, guarding such a big beauty, everyone is in love with each other, what a good little man, just because he said that big thing with enthusiasm, and now he just wants to touch it, and no one is allowed to touch it.

What a wickedness, what a wickedness!
