Shen Mingyu's other son, who was also clear-eyed, said with a smile: "What? Mom actually entertained us guests who gave money like this, just stood and talked in the wind, and didn't let us in, because she was worried that we wouldn't be able to pay if we ate flowers and wine? ”

Red Sleeves raised his hand to cover half of his face with his sleeve, and said with a smile: "This son is better than our Shen Gongzi, hahaha...... Okay, two hurry inside please. As he spoke, he pinched his soft waist and led the way in front of him with half a step.

Shen Mingyu thought in his heart that he didn't expect that this Huanhualou looked like an ordinary people's courtyard from the outside, and only when he entered the door did he know that there was a Qiankun inside, this Huanhualou was very different from the buildings of the capital, but there were some architectural styles in the south of the Yangtze River, gray tiles and white walls, everywhere, the walls and roofs of the gatehouse were delicately carved, and the colors were not the same, sometimes flowers and birds, sometimes landscapes, the whole building has a set of water system, plus the green trees into the shade, the mountains echo, so that you have a sense of being in a fairyland, After layers of veils, it seems to have a feeling of spring inside, and I don't feel the cold at all.

"The two sons knew at a glance that it was the first time to come, and the two of them saw that they would pick the girls with the hundred flowers album of our Huanhualou, or let the red sleeves recommend two girls to the two of you?"

Finally, I came to a place that looked like a side hall, the veil hung low, and everywhere created a hazy atmosphere, and the stone walls around it were all covered with brocade, and even the roof of the room was separated by embroidered felt, which was both warm and warm. The furnishings are also used in the girl's boudoir, which is extremely luxurious and exquisitely carved with jade-inlaid tooth beds. The brocade quilt is embroidered, and there is a small sachet hanging on the curtain hook, exuding a faint fragrance.

"You don't have to show us anything like that. We only saw one girl today, and if this girl is not available, then the two of us will come back next time. Shen Mingyu and the son next to him walked to the chair on the side and sat down, and the maid on the side hurriedly served the tea mountain and snacks.

Red Sleeves said with a smile: "That's the best, but I don't know which girl the two sons are here for today?" ”

Shen Mingyu lifted Erlang's legs, leaned back on the chair, and squinted his eyes at the tea in the teacup. There was a faint trace of disdain on the corner of his mouth, and he said two words lightly: Leng Cui!

Redsleeves laughed when he heard this, and said, "It's not easy. I immediately ordered someone to call, but ......" After speaking, he looked at the two of them with some confusion.

Another boy smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will give you two girls' silver." ”

Red Sleeves smiled and hurriedly blessed his body. "Those two sit first." I'm going to call both of you. After speaking, he looked at the maid on the side, the maid nodded quickly, and the red sleeves took his maid away.

"Mom, do you think these two people are pretending to be rich or are they really rich?" The maid asked in a low voice.

Red Sleeves smiled coldly and said, "You listen carefully to me, look at the clothes first, the two of them are wearing plain clothes on the surface." But the production and selection of clothes are all rare Shu satin in the capital. ”

The maid said: "Didn't you say the best silk from Suzhou and Hangzhou?" ”

Red Sleeves said: "Say you're stupid, you're really stupid." Although most of the silk in the imperial court and harem is supplied from Suzhou and Hangzhou, there is a sentence you must not have heard, that is, the saying that Shu forges the crown of the world, right? The silk produced by Shu satin every year is only a hundred horses, and the people who can use this kind of silk should be such a prominent family background in the capital. ”

After hearing Red Sleeves' words, the maid not only looked at Red Sleeves with a look of admiration, but Red Sleeves walked proudly while continuing: "Then talk about the accessories on their bodies, although everyone is just a jade pendant and a sachet, but just that jade pendant can buy as many as three of our Huanhualou!" ”

At this moment, the maids around him were so shocked that their mouths opened wide, and said: "Such a rich person, no wonder they didn't look at the tea on the maids just now." ”

Redsleeves smiled and said, "Hmm! You're right this time, along the way, the son of an ordinary family has long been unable to walk because of the layout and decoration of our Huanhua Building, but have you found it? These two sons don't look at it, so in the future, you have to learn to see with your eyes, and guests like this are our cash cows! ”

"Yes, the minion remembers." The maid nodded obediently.

Red Sleeves looked at her with satisfaction, stopped the sect leader, and looked at a woman in a green dress not far away who was playing the pipa on the stage, and said, "Let Leng Cui accompany these two guests for me, otherwise...... Look how I clean her up! After speaking, there was a hint of gloom in his eyes.

After a while, Leng Cui entered the door of the side hall, raised his eyes and saw that it was Shen Mingyu and another son he didn't know, the corners of his mouth showed a slight smug smile, and then walked in small steps in front of the two and bowed down, and called sweetly in his mouth: "Leng Cui greets the two sons." ”

"You're Leng Cui?" Another son asked Leng Cui to sit down opposite him, and after letting the waiting maid retreat, he asked with great interest.

Leng Cui saw that this son looked not a few years older than Shen Mingyu, but his appearance was a few points better than Shen Mingyu, so he smiled sweetly at this son, nodded slightly, and said yes in his mouth.

"Do you know who I am, then?" Childe continued to ask with a smile.

Leng Cui shook her head obediently and said, "With such a talent as Childe, Leng Cui can only meet now, which is really Leng Cui's regret." ”

"Hahaha...... I can't see that you're a good talker! ”

"I don't know your surname?"

"My surname is Shen."

"Leng Cui has seen Shen Gongzi." Leng Cui said as she got up and saluted again, and then sat down.

Shen Mingyu looked at Leng Cui, and when he saw that she looked quiet, he said, "Do you know why we came to you today?" ”

Leng Cui smiled at Shen Mingyu and said, "Didn't you listen to Leng Cui play the pipa?" ”

Shen Mingyu sneered, waved his hand, and said to another Shen Gongzi on the side, "If you come, you will be safe, okay, then listen to Miss Leng Cui play a song for us." ”

Leng Cui said: "This Shen Gongzi shouldn't be Shen Mingyu's brother, right?" ”

"Haha, good eyesight, I'm Shen Mingyu's eldest brother, I'm here to solve the problem for you."

Leng Cui smiled, and with a wave of his hand, the pipa in his arms made a crisp and pleasant sound under a pair of jade hands, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth seemed to have a hint of mockery.

The two sons glanced at each other, neither of them spoke, looking at Leng Cui's focused expression, and at the end of the song, both of them raised their hands and applauded.

Leng Cui got up and thanked him and sat down again.

"Okay, we've listened to the pipa, we've drunk the tea, now let's get down to business." Shen Gongzi said.

"Slow!" Leng Cui put the pipa in her arms on the table, and then said softly.

Shen Gongzi looked at Leng Cui with a smile and said, "What? Miss Leng changed her mind again? ”

Leng Cui smiled faintly and said, "Yes, it's time for me to make up my mind." ”

Shen Gongzi looked at Leng Cui, as if he was thinking about something, and said, "Let's talk about it." ”

Leng Cui looked at the two sons, and then said to Shen Gongzi, "Do you know why I asked for a thousand taels of gold for your brother in the first place?" ”

Shen Gongzi laughed and said, "I don't want to know this, I just know why we want to give you a thousand taels of gold?" ”

Leng Cui was stunned for a moment, a face with delicate makeup became gloomy, and said, "Shen Gongzi means that he doesn't want to give?" ”

Shen Gongzi nodded and said, "Naturally, I don't want to give it, just that little thing, you want to blackmail our Shen family's thousand taels of gold, Miss Leng Cui, are you crazy about money?" ”

Leng Cui was not afraid, and also laughed, laughing so much that the tassels on the hairpin shook violently and made a slight impact sound.

"What's the matter? It seems that you rich people really don't know how to spend this money for a day, and they are bored with everything, so they start playing with each other, right? All right? If you think it's just that thing to you, then please go back. With that, he picked up the lute from the table and prepared to leave.

Shen Mingyu said: "Leng Cui, I think you don't deceive people too much, you have to spare people and don't spare people, we don't have a thousand taels, this is a silver ticket of one hundred taels of gold, if you want it, you will accept it, if you don't want it, we won't force it." After speaking, he took out a silver ticket from his sleeve and shook it in front of Leng Cui, and then put it on the table.

Leng Cui glanced at the silver ticket coldly and said, "Hmph! Are you begging for food? There is more than this number of pipa songs just now, if you can't afford to play it, don't pretend to have nothing to worry about, hum! With that, he turned around and left.

"Wait!" Shen Gongzi shouted behind him.

Leng Cui stopped, but didn't look back.

Shen Gongzi took a few steps forward, walked behind Leng Cui, and said in a low voice, "Then how much money did you say you would want to seal your mouth?" ”

Leng Cui smiled and stretched out her hand to the sky, and the corners of her mouth were a quiet smile.

Shen Gongzi was startled at first, and then said with some annoyance: "You are really sitting on the ground, do you think we are really afraid of you?" ”

Leng Cui turned around, smiled indifferently at Shen Gongzi, and said: "You won't be afraid of me, but I won't be afraid of you either, I have no father, no relatives, and I will die, but you, I don't know if I can afford to lose the face of your two families, hahaha...... I heard that Fang Bingde also has a younger sister who is now the emperor's aunt, if you let the guests here know that your brother and Fang Bingde did that dirty thing, I'm afraid it's not just your Shen family's business. ”

Shen Gongzi suppressed the surprise in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Then why don't you go to Fang Bingde and ask my brother for the five thousand taels of gold?" ”

Leng Cui smiled and said, "Who are you looking for?" Hmph, if your Shen family can't afford it, then the Fang family will make it together. After speaking, he glanced at Shen Gongzi with disdain, and walked away with his pipa.

Orika-en.

Fang Jinyan and Leng Yi were playing chess in the room, it was snowing heavily outside, but the room was very warm, and after two games, Fang Jinyan failed again and admitted defeat. (To be continued......)
