Chapter Forty-Eight: Beaten Again
Li Wei really didn't think that what Mingzhu said was serious about coming back later, in his opinion, he just found a reason to slip away. So when Mingzhu really pushed open the door and ran in and shouted at him, "You have hundreds of silk flowers more than the girl next to him", he was really stunned.
Mingzhu squatted on the ground happily, and folded her fingers to Li Jiong: "I asked those grandmothers when I came here just now, and they said that an Oiran can earn two or three hundred taels of silver in one night by only selling his art and not selling himself, and the flowery mama also told me that the Oiran can go to the party of those rich sons of literati and scholars, and the appearance fee will cost more than 100 taels of silver for one trip, and maybe he can be redeemed by some rich son to be a concubine, that is a ...... One What's going on? ”
Li Wei covered his forehead: "One step to the sky?"
"yes, yes, yes! That's the word! One step to the sky! Mingzhu clapped her hands happily, and looked at Li Jiong's eyes full of admiration, "Ah Jiong, you are really, you are only eight buckets high in five cars!" ”
"Stop!" Li Wei patted his head, and looked at Mingzhu with a hint of despair in his eyes, "Little girl, you don't really plan to make me the Oiran of Narausch, right?" ”
"Is there something wrong?" Mingzhu squatted on the ground and blinked, "Make more money!" Isn't it good to marry into a wealthy family...... Is it? ”
"What a hammer!" Li Wei was so angry that he almost jumped up from the chair, "Little girl, have you forgotten that I am a man?" Male! And the giants? The grandmothers outside...... Wait a minute? Momma? Where is this grandmother from outside? ”
"Ah...... There weren't several of them out there, just the one with a ribbon on his wrist. Mingzhu blinked, a little confused about what Li Wei meant by asking.
"Hmph, they also deserve to be called Mama?" Li Wei snorted disdainfully, "Shouting that the bustard's mother is taking care of her when she is old, little girl, don't call Mama when you see someone casually when you go out in the future." ”
"Oh......" Mingzhu nodded, muttering the words "bustard mother", as if to memorize these two words in the depths of her mind.
"Back to the point," Li Wei sat back, and the slender and charming Danfeng glanced at Mingzhu who was squatting on the side, "Do I need the so-called rich sons that the bustard mother said outside?" ”
"You...... Don't you? Mingzhu said with some hesitation, "Dredging the relationship or something...... It should be used as well...... Bar"
"Little girl, you can't help but look down on me a little too much." Li Wei pointed to his nose, "Master, I, the commander of the three products, the so-called rich sons and scholars and literati mentioned by the bustard's mother, I am afraid that they all have to beg the master." ”
"That's amazing!" Mingzhu scratched her head, "I thought you were just a creep...... Huh! Wrong! You're a man! Mingzhu seemed to wake up suddenly.
"You just remember?!" Li Yan looked incredulous, "Didn't you say what I told you at the beginning?!" ”
Mingzhu didn't answer Li Jiong's words, but he stood up and stomped his feet in annoyance, Li Wei didn't understand what was going on, and he heard Mingzhu say: "Hey, the thousands of taels of silver in hand are gone!"
Li Wei slapped his head with a "snap", stood up and pushed Mingzhu, who was still stomping on the spot, out of the door, slammed the door shut, walked back to the chair and sat down with a snort, reached out and took a sip of the teacup: "Phew!" It's cold! ”
The Oiran evaluation continues, and there is really no suspense in the future, compared to the future, there is no Qinglou woman's silk flowers that have counted more than four hundred, and the highest is the Xia Zhan girl of the Heart Carp Pavilion, three hundred and sixty-nine silk flowers. The guy who counted the silk flowers secretly told Li Ji that the silk flowers of the Xia Zhan girl were mainly voted by three or four people, and he also knew those people, but were they the old customers who took care of Xia Zhan's business every day? The guy also whispered to Li Wei that he heard that they often have three or four people together, tsk, but they are really not very exquisite.
Li Wei didn't care much about this, he had only just heard Xia Zhan's name now. When he went to pick up the jade bracelet, which symbolized the oiran, he saw a woman in a red dress in a somewhat revealing dress with a slightly distorted face pulling the handkerchief in her hand.
The head of the jade bracelet is very good, and it is even fairer when worn on Li Yan's wrist. Li Wei raised his wrist slightly, wanting to take a closer look at what kind of color this Oiran evaluation was, but Yu Guang saw a figure in a red dress who seemed to stomp his foot in annoyance, turned around and walked out. Li Wei looked up, and there were about four or five men who looked a little older chasing the girl in the red dress and leaving.
Li Wei was a little dazed, he turned his head to look at the guy who handed him the bracelet, and the guy pouted: "Isn't this the Xia Zhan girl I told you about."
Li Wei nodded slightly to indicate that he knew, and secretly thought in his heart: "This is not very good-looking."

Li Wei and Mingzhu slowly walked home, Mingzhu walked two steps in front of the head, carrying a sugar gourd in his hand to gnaw with relish, Li Wei walked behind, carrying six buns wrapped in oiled paper in his left hand, and carrying a few bags of spices that his mother told him to buy before going out.
Li Wei calculated very well in the back, first went back to Li's house to put things down, his wife liked Mingzhu so much and must leave her for dinner, just this little girl said that she had something serious to explain to her mother, and it also saved her from teaching the little girl anything good every day.
Thinking like this, Li Yan's pace slowed down a little, and he couldn't help but show a smile with a little silly.
"Hey! Ahh Hurry up! What are you laughing at? Mingzhu jumped in front, and when he turned around and saw Li Ji standing in place, he couldn't help but call him.
"Oh...... Oh! It's coming, it's coming. Li Wei turned his senses, took two steps and followed, but this time he didn't fall behind.
When he arrived at Li's house, the gate was open, and Li Chi was playing in the front yard. Mingzhu threw away the sugar gourd skewers he had eaten in his hand, went up and patted Li Chi's head.
Li Ji walked in half a step slowly, frowned and glanced at Li Chi's dirty palm playing with mud with some disgust: "Chi'er, where is my mother?"
Li Chi was busy fiddling with the clay figure in his hand, and after a while, he pointed behind him as if he had taken out time: "Find it yourself in the backyard!"
Li Chi wanted to say something, Mingzhu patted Li Chi's head, and walked back in a hurry, Li Chi had to glare at Li Chi and raised his feet to chase after him.
In the end, it was still a tall man with long legs, and Li Wei entered the house first. Mrs. Li was embroidering the sachet, and Li Wei put the bag of spices on the table, and said, "Mother! The little girl said that she was going to do business, not to see what to choose an oiran! ”
"Oh?" Mrs. Li didn't raise her head, but answered in a clear tone, as if she was about to say something, Mingzhu's crisp voice floated in from behind.
"Aunt Qin, today's selection of Oiran in Wangjiang Tower is very lively!"
After this sentence, Li Ji's heart was bad, Mrs. Li raised her head and glared at him fiercely, and changed her smile to greet Mingzhu: "Yo! Zhu'er is here, come and let me see, I have lost weight again......"
Li Wei didn't listen to the communication that followed, he stood by the table in a daze, and there was a sentence rolling in his head: "I'm going to be beaten by my mother again."
