Chapter 219: Mu Jiuqing was invited
When Mu Jiuqing came back from the next dynasty, he was called out, this person was the second prince of the dynasty and the second son of the emperor.
The place where they meet is the largest green building in Kyoto, Yunyan Building, where it is rumored that the beauty is like a cloud, and the Oiran of Kyoto for ten years gathers here.
Mu Jiuqing came to this place, a little restrained, this was the first time he came to this kind of fireworks place, and he was invited by the second prince.
When the old bustard of the Qinglou saw Mu Jiuqing coming in, he twisted his waist to meet him, "Yo, this little boy is so face-to-face, this is the first time to come, right?" β
Mu Jiuqing lowered her head and glanced at the bustard gently, only to see that the bustard was wearing a floral skirt and a set of festive headdresses on her head.
I thought that the old bustards in the Qinglou were all half-old in their forties and fifties, but this old bustard looked at it, and it was only about two decades.
Mu Jiuqing didn't dare to look at it today, so he only glanced at it hurriedly, and said politely: "I'm here to find the second son." β
When the second prince invited him to come, he specially told him that he should come to Yunyanlou to report the name of the second son.
As soon as Mu Jiuqing's words came out, the old bustard already understood in her heart, she gently stroked Mu Jiuqing's hand with her hand, close to him, and exhaled a breath as fresh as an orchid, "Please come with the slave family." β
Mu Jiuqing was shocked by the bustard's movements, as if she had touched something incredible, and immediately took a few steps back, "Girl, please respect yourself." β
His words caused the old bustard to laugh like a silver bell, "Hahaha, you see, this little boy calls me a girl~ Hahaha, laugh at me!" β
The old bustard bent over, tears burst out of laughter, who was present, who didn't call her mother, and there was only this one nerd, calling her girl.
I have been in this industry for decades, and every day when I am called my mother, she thinks that she has really become an old woman.
Today, I was suddenly called a girl, and the bustard was suddenly startled.
Mu Jiuqing didn't know what he said wrong, he stood stunned.
The girls around all patted the bustard's ass, "Mom is young, she is a girl." β
"yes, Mom, don't say that, you're not much older than us."
Some men next to him walked over, and Mu Jiuqing looked at this man's groping pig hand, and slapped the old bustard's little buttocks in a daze.
"What, this girl will spend the night with you tonight?"
The old bustard hammered the man's chest with his fist, and said coquettishly: "Ouch, I hate it, the slave family also wants to do it, this second son needs the slave family to bring tea and water in front of him, another day, another day, Peony will accompany the son to drink." β
The man was also drunk at this time, and was dragged back to the wine table by Peony in a daze.
Mu Jiuqing was very surprised, as soon as the old bustard approached, he hid back.
The old bustard covered his mouth and smiled, "Son, come with the slave family, don't be afraid, people always have their first time, and they will be skilled when they come often in the future." β
Mu Jiuqing followed her, went up the stairs, and turned a few more corners to get to the place, the old bustard pushed open the door and made a gesture of invitation to Mu Jiuqing at the door.
He was about to walk in when the bustard suddenly stretched out his hand, startling him.
The old bustard chuckled, "Childe, please." β
After that, the old bustard no longer teased Jiuqing.
Mu Jiuqing felt uncomfortable and went in with a stiff face.
When the second prince heard the movement, he stood up and greeted Mu Jiuqing, "You are here, sit down." β
Mu Jiuqing saluted to the second prince, "I've seen the second prince." β
"Don't be polite, come, sit." The second prince pointed to the position next to him and motioned for Mu Jiuqing to sit down.
Mu Jiuqing looked behind the second prince and sat down hesitantly.
The second prince looked behind him and said, "Master Mu doesn't have to be restrained, just you and me today, let's eat." β
Mu Jiuqing couldn't figure out the second prince's thoughts, so he could only ask carefully: "The second prince called the lower officials, what is the matter?" β
It stands to reason that he is a poor scholar, and he should not be favored by the second prince, and the second prince invited him here today, and he doesn't know what he wants to say.
The second prince turned the wine glass and said: "This king doesn't hide it from you, this king lacks a few protΓ©gΓ©s, it is the time to use people, of course, this king knows that you have a good personal relationship with Lao Qi, but the conditions of this king are also good, you can consider one or two." β
Mu Jiuqing didn't speak, didn't move his chopsticks, just sit.
The second prince continued: "This king is a direct person, and he will say anything he wants, unlike the eldest brother and the fifth brother's stuffy gourd, but you can rest assured, if you follow this king, I will not treat you badly." β
As soon as the eldest prince lost power, the second prince was ready to move, what he lacked most now was people, so he naturally wanted to win Mu Jiuqing over.
Mu Jiuqing has a lot of relationship with Lao Qi, and has also had a lot of contact with Lao Wu, it is precisely because of this that the second prince wants to win Mu Jiuqing over even more, he believes that no one can resist the temptation of money.
If he can resist it, it can only mean that the chips are not enough, and if the money can't impress him, what about the status?
The second prince didn't believe it, Mu Jiuqing was not moved at all, he was just a little poor scholar.
"The prince looks down on the lower official, the lower official is just a poor man who is so poor that he can't be the protΓ©gΓ© of the second prince, please choose someone else." Mu Jiuqing thought for half an hour and resolutely rejected the request of the second prince.
He knows how many pounds and taels he has, and he doesn't want to stand in line, he doesn't have the support of his family background, standing in line too early will only lead to a dead end, he just wants to stay quietly, and he doesn't want to get involved in these things.
When something happened to the eldest prince, the remaining princes had more or less ideas in their hearts, and he didn't want to get involved.
Another reason is that he actually thinks that King An is a good person, a good person for the country and the people, so he doesn't want to stand on the opposite side of King An.
The second prince, who was rejected by Mu Jiuqing, looked unnatural for a moment, and quickly recovered, he gave Mu Jiuqing a chopstick dish, and said: "Master Mu doesn't have to be in a hurry to refuse, go back and think about it, this king is waiting for your reply at any time." β
Mu Jiuqing stared at the dishes in the bowl and smiled very embarrassedly, "Thank you for your understanding." β
The second prince patted his palm, and a woman with a veil pushed open the door and came in, and she blessed the two of them, "I've seen the second prince, I've seen Lord Mu." β
He waved his hand lightly, motioned for her to play the piano, and then said to Mu Jiuqing: "This is the top brand of Yunyan Building, Miss Huaxi, she plays the piano well, but today I heard that Master Mu was coming, so I came to appreciate my face." β
Mu Jiuqing nodded towards Huaxi, and Huaxi lowered his head to play the piano, his slender hands gently slid above the guqin, and the smooth sound of the piano spread around the ears of the two.
At this time, the second prince stopped talking, he closed his eyes and listened, as if he had been immersed in the sound of the piano.
Mu Jiuqing took a sip of the teacup, still sitting upright, not daring to make other movements, but the soothing sound of the piano made him relax.
He couldn't see Miss Huaxi's face through the curtain, and his heart suddenly felt empty.
