Chapter 44 - The Ninth Day of the Ninth Month
The ninth day of the ninth month of September, unitary time.
In Cuiyi Pavilion, Mother Xu has already spread the news of Hongluan in the past few days, and there are still three moments left, and it is already crowded with people.
The turtle is busy with his feet not touching the ground, shuttling back and forth between the benefactors.
"Mother Xu, eh! Look at your ruddy face, you must have had a good time lately! ”
"Yes, yes, Mother Xu, but you've been doing well lately, why hasn't it been three moments yet!"
"It's extreme, it's extreme, Miss Hongluan hasn't come out yet."
"This three quarters of the unitary hour is about the beginning of that hour, but before that, the Hongluan girl can come out early!"
"What this son said is that besides, Miss Hongluan hasn't come out for a long time."
"Yes, yes, Miss Hongluan hasn't come out for half a month!"
"Yes! This Hongluan girl came out early, let's take a look! ”
"yes, let's ...... It's a feast for the eyes! ”
After most of the benefactors who came often saw Mother Xu coming, they said it to me one by one, anyway, the central idea revealed was to let Miss Hongluan come out early.
"Eh! This uncle, this night is our first time in Hongluan! How is it so hot! Mother Xu came to their vicinity, covered her mouth and laughed at them.
"What's more, it's just the curtain still drawn after this comes out!"
"But Mother Xu doesn't understand!" After Xu's mother's voice fell, a son-in-law in brocade clothes immediately responded, only to see him slowly playing with the folding fan in his hand in his right hand, but there was an unstoppable obscenity in his eyes.
"This beauty, what you see is this drunken hazy feeling, if you look at it at once, it will be boring!"
After he finished speaking, someone immediately chimed in:
"Yes, yes, this prince is not wrong at all."
"I think so too, it seems that Brother Wang must be an expert in this regard!"
Wang Gongzi smiled: "Hey, this expert, I don't dare to be it, but Brother Zhao is the same, it's better to change the day... Communication?"
"Eh, this is a bad word, this day is better than hitting the day, Brother Wang, work hard today, you can do it tonight hahahaha!"
Wang Gongzi: "Hahaha, it's still Brother Zhao who said!" ”
The second floor is the same, most of the people who come here are here to join in the fun, Hongluan hasn't come out yet, but the foul language of the people below has been flying all over the sky.
And Hongluan was sitting in the room at this time, leaning against the window, looking outside, not knowing what he was looking at, listening to the noise in the hall outside, and not responding to it, but his heart was beating fast, and he didn't know what to do, today...... Will Brother Zhongqi come?
"Girl, it's too ...... to talk about outside" Xiao Tao looked at Hongluan's side face with aggrieved eyes, stood beside her, and curled her mouth, not knowing what to do.
After a few days of recuperation, Hongluan's face has almost healed, the swelling has subsided, and the small red particles are gone, but there is still some abnormal redness, but it can still be covered with fat powder.
At this time, after some grooming, her face is even better than before, wearing a long skirt like fire, wearing a plain light gauze outside, showing a weak willow to support the wind.
Stretch your neck and show off her neck, and her good quality is revealed, what a beautiful woman with a national color and fragrance!
Hongluan heard Xiao Tao's hesitant voice behind her, turned her head to look at her, but found that the little girl's eyes were already red, and comforted her softly: "Xiao Tao, what's wrong with you, don't worry, look at me, I'm not worried, it's okay!" It's going to be fine! ”
"How could it be okay!" After Xiao Tao's reddened eyes heard Hongluan's words, her tears were completely flooded, and she couldn't help crying: "Girl, do you have to be like this!" You also heard the voices outside, these people are too, let's beg Mother Xu, beg her, girl, your status is so important, Mother Xu takes such a fancy to you, she will definitely let you go, you don't need it, you don't need to-"
Hongluan gently looked at the little girl in front of her who couldn't cry silently, and listened to her quietly, she didn't even think about it yet, she didn't even think about it in the future, but now she only thought about herself, she stretched out her hand, gently touched her head, and brushed away the tears for her.
"Thank you, Xiao Tao, thank you for caring so much about me, it's really nice to know you here, I'm really lucky."
"Woo woo girl, what are you talking about! It's Xiao Tao who knows you and you're lucky! The corners of Xiao Tao's eyes were red with tears, and her nose was red and said to Hongluan.
"Poof!" Looking at Xiao Tao's pear blossom with rain, Hongluan finally couldn't help laughing and gently scratched Xiao Tao's nose, "You! ”
Bang bang bang!
At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door, and Xu's mother's loud voice came in, and then she opened the door directly, "Hongluan, Hongluan!" My good daughter, mom is in! But it's almost time, so let's go! ”
"Eh, this girl's family should be dressed up so well, today, you must be the most moving one!"
After Xu's mother pushed the door in, she saw that Hongluan had been dressed up carefully today, and she couldn't close her mouth with a smile.
"Got it, Mom, I'm fine."
"Alright, alright, alright, let's go down! There are a lot of people here today, all of them old acquaintances! ”
Mother Xu walked out with Hongluan.
"Miss Hongluan is out! The Red Luan Girl is out! ”
When a sharp-eyed man saw Xu's mother following Hongluan, he hurriedly shouted loudly.
"What? Miss Hongluan is out?"
"Where? Where's Miss Hongluan?"
"Eh! Don't squeeze, don't squeeze. ”
"This Hongluan girl has finally come out!"
"Oh, oh, I see, it's not an exaggeration for Miss Hongluan to dress up today and say that she is a fairy, hahaha!"
"Yes, yes! This Hongluan girl doesn't want to dress up better today, for ah~ hahaha! ”
Everyone said loudly around Hongluan, their eyes glued to Hongluan's body, and finally the more they talked, the more yellow they became.
Noisy! Everything here is too noisy, Hongluan frowned secretly, pursed his lips, and walked slowly behind Mother Xu with his head down.
……
Clang! Clang!
A turtle boy suddenly sounded the gong and drum in his hand and shouted, "It's three o'clock in the unitary hour!" ”
This sentence seemed to have turned on some switch, and everyone looked at the graceful figure on the stage in unison, and their eyes flashed with the same desire.
Mother Xu took the stage and made her own speech, and then announced that the auction on this first night had officially begun!
"I gave three thousand taels of silver, just to have a spring festival with Miss Hongluan!"
"I, I'll give three thousand five hundred taels!"
"I'm out of four thousand!"
"Five thousand!"
"Six thousand!"
"Eight thousand!"
…
…
Hongluan's eyes watched all this without waves, and her bare hands were stirring the handkerchief underneath, even if what they were fighting for was her ......, but she still didn't feel anything.
Brother Zhongqi, Brother Zhongqi...... Didn't come, I didn't find him, after Hongluan sat on the stage, he secretly looked for the person he thought about day and night in the crowd, but he didn't find it.
"I'll give you 50,000 taels!" Suddenly, a voice overpowered all the noises and all the prices, and everyone looked at the body and found that it was the prince.
This 50,000 taels has set all the previous records, and it can be seen from Xu's mother's smiling eyes that she can't open her eyes, what a lot of money this is!
This price temporarily suppressed everyone, this prince is really generous! With 50,000 taels, you can buy a clear first night, it's really luxurious!
Mother Xu smiled: "Eh! There's no one else to bid, and if no one pays, Hongluan will be-"
"His Royal Highness King Qi will give 100,000 taels!"
At this time, a voice suddenly interjected, interrupting what Xu's mother was about to say next, and immediately calmed everyone.
When Hongluan heard this voice, her heart moved, her eyes lit up instantly, she looked up in the direction of the source of the sound, and found that it was Brother Zhongqi who she was thinking about day and night.
The shadow had a cold face, and stepped into the Cui Yi Pavilion from the outside, as if he was covered with wind and frost, if he got close, he could still smell the subtle smell of blood on his body, and after the shadow came in, he first calmly glanced at the ugly faces of these people, and the people who were scanned suddenly felt cold, and then looked at the people on the stage with fixed eyes.
"This, this son, you just said, what did you say, can you say it again!" Mother Xu's trembling voice came.
Ying pursed his thin lips, and said in a hoarse voice: "His Royal Highness King Qi will give out 100,000 taels!" ”
Mother Xu: "One hundred thousand taels!" It's really 100,000 taels! Okay, then—"
"His Royal Highness King Qi gave out 100,000 taels...... Redeem yourself for Miss Hongluan! Ying deliberately said in a voice between the words His Royal Highness King Qi and Redemption.
This? Ransom! However, Mother Xu's "no" originally wanted to blurt out, but she held back at the critical moment, that is His Royal Highness King Qi, who is the most favored prince of His Majesty today, if you offend him......
The consequences are unimaginable!
"Well, redeem yourself, redeem yourself! Is it true that Gongzi came on the orders of His Royal Highness King Qi? After thinking about it, I quickly came to a conclusion.
"Can there be a fake?" Shadow pulled out the stack of silver tickets.
After Xu's mother took out the silver ticket from the shadow, her eyes were glued to it, as if she couldn't buckle it off.
"Eh! Okay, okay, son, please wait a while, Mother Xu, I'm going to get Hongluan's deed of sale! After saying that, he hurriedly ran back to his room, for fear that the silver tickets would fly in the next second!
Hongluan covered his mouth and nose to prevent himself from crying, and looked at the sharp-eyed man with fixed eyes, why was he injured again! This time I didn't even bandage it properly! It's so unusual, really, it's so unusual!
Suddenly, Ying turned his head, and Hongluan clearly saw that the corners of his mouth moved a few times, as if he was saying something, and the words were: Don't cry! I'm going to be distressed.
The corners of Hongluan's eyes instantly moistened.
