Chapter 523
"When is the bright moon? Ask the sky about the wine? I don't know what year it is in the heavenly palace, what year is it tonight......" An ethereal voice like fairy music slowly came down from the huge stage in the center of Yuxiang Building, and the prostitutes around him were full of praise.
"Oops! The sound and singing of this butterfly dancing girl are really the best in the world! ”
"yes, yes! In this life, I can hear the singing voice of the butterfly dance girl, and I really die without regrets! ”
Everyone was talking. In the box on the second floor facing the stage on the first floor, Xie Yu leaned on the brocade, closed his eyes slightly, and stood around four beautiful maids quietly guarding, until the end of the song, he slowly opened his eyes and praised: "It's really extraordinary!" Like frost, the bounty is ten taels! ”
"Yes, Childe." As soon as the words fell, the beautiful maid on the left came out, holding a purse embroidered with gold thread in her hand and leaving the box and going to the first floor.
Xie Yu didn't close his eyes as usual, but sat up and glanced downstairs with interest.
"Ruyue, you can talk about it. A woman who can sing such a moving song must be very good-looking, right? ”
Hearing this, the beautiful maid standing on the right side immediately replied in a low voice: "Back to the son's words, this is not necessarily, although the butterfly girl played and sang a song, but covered her face with a light veil, so far I can't see her true face, and the maid does not dare to draw conclusions easily." ”
"Really?" When Xie Yu heard this, he immediately lowered his head, and sure enough, the light veil fluttered on the stage, like layers of barriers, and there was a beautiful person, sitting behind the piano, his figure loomed, but his appearance was not clear for half a minute.
"It's strange. Since he came out to sell, but he still covered his face, is this an attempt to catch and indulge? This son can't look down on it! Xie Yu frowned, swept his interest, and was about to lie down and rest, when suddenly there was a burst of exclamations downstairs.
"Childe, she lifted the veil." The moon is low and low.
Xie Yu's movements immediately froze, he looked downstairs again, and sure enough, the woman who was playing the piano had already stood up, and the veil on her face fell off the moment she turned around, revealing a very beautiful face as white as a full moon.
On the face of the beauty, a pair of seductive eyes shocked everyone. There was a gasping sound all around.
"It's really beautiful, it's not in vain that my son will go this way tonight!" After Xie Yu saw the true face of Butterfly Dance, he was interested.
"Childe, do you want the servant to go down to the boss lady and redeem her body?" Ruyue asked in a low voice.
"No!" Xie Yu shook his head and said with interest: "Don't worry, my son still wants to see what else this butterfly girl will do in addition to playing the piano and singing, my group of Fang Yuan can't tolerate vulgar fans!" ”
"Yes! Son. Ruyue replied in a low voice, and then stopped talking.
Xie Yu continued to sit on the brocade and look down, his interest had been completely aroused.
In the hall on the first floor, Gu Xiaoye easily squeezed into this place, and also found the two sons of Xuanyuan Lin
, The three of them found a table and sat down in the direction of the stage near the door, because they came late, no one bothered to drink tea and eat snacks, but stared intently at the stage.
When Butterfly Dance revealed her true face, Gu Xiaoye's soul was immediately taken away, and the two sons of Xuanyuan Lin on the side also showed an obsessive expression.
"Wow! Sure enough, it's a beauty! Tonight is well worth the trip! Lin Gongzi said dumbfoundedly.
"Who's to say it's not?" Gu Xiaoye nodded, her eyes did not leave the beauty on the stage.
Everyone's eyes on the field were focused on Butterfly Dance, and no one noticed that at the gate of Yuxiang Building, two young men who were not good-looking slipped in quietly and sat not far behind Gu Xiaoye.
At this time, the butterfly dance on the high platform had already put down the yaoqin, stretched his waist, and began to dance, which caused bursts of cheers from the audience.
"These songs and dances are really rare." Xuanyuan Jingxi said in a low voice to Amber beside him.
Amber smiled slightly and said, "If you can't arouse Xie Yu's imperative heart, how can you have the best effect?" ”
Xuanyuan Jingxi glanced back at her and did not answer.
In the box on the second floor, Xie Yu enjoyed the singing and dancing for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, I can let my son have the patience to read it from beginning to end, and she dances well." ”
"That's what Childe said." The moon is low and low.
"Alright, you can go down and find the bustard." Xie Yu picked up the glass wine bottle on the table and said lazily.
"Yes, Childe." Ruyue answered, and when she was about to turn around and leave, at this moment, Xie Yu shouted again: "Wait a minute!" ”
Ruyue immediately stopped and glanced at her master lying on the couch in confusion.
"Before you go, you must ask the bustard whether she is a chaste woman, the price is very different." Xie Yu said lazily.
Ruyue answered, but stood still and didn't leave: "Childe, if this butterfly girl has lost her innocence, then there is no need to redeem it?" ”
"No, this woman is so beautiful, she sings a good song and dances well, even if she is not a virgin, it will not affect her worth at all, redeem!" Xie Yu waved his hand and said.
Ruyue's eyes flashed, and she said, "Yes, Childe." ”
"Remember to press the price." Xie Yu lazily explained: "There is gold saved, and my son will buy flowers for you to wear." ”
"Then thank you, Childe." Ruyue replied in a low voice, then turned around and retreated.
At this time, on the first floor platform, as soon as the old bustard Xue's mother appeared, she was immediately surrounded by everyone, many people were around her to bargain, and some people quoted 1,000 taels, 10,000 taels, or even 100,000 taels.
However, it can't be compared with the heroic act of the third prince Xuanyuan Yu throwing millions of gold in the Yuchun Building. Mother Xue didn't dare to expect such a feat, and in the face of the enthusiastic guests, Mother Xue was very apologetic
Then he said: "Everyone, please wait for a while, after I have asked Xie Yu Gongzi upstairs, if he is not interested in the butterfly dance girl, you all start bidding again, and the one with the highest price will get the butterfly dance girl, is it feasible?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the lively hall fell silent.
In the box on the second floor, Xie Yu heard Mother Xue's flattering words, and a smile slowly appeared on his face.
At this time, Ruyue was ordered to come to the first floor and said to Mother Xue: "My son-in-law ordered me to ask my mother, how much silver can I redeem for the Butterfly Dance girl?" ”
"May I ask ...... girl" Mother Xue heard this, and immediately opened her mouth in surprise.
Ruyue immediately raised her eyebrows and said, "Xie Yu Xie Gongzi." ”
Mother Xue was in good spirits, and hurriedly replied: "It turns out that the girl is Xie Gongzi's person, it is really disrespectful and disrespectful!" As she spoke, she quickly calculated in her heart and replied, "Girl, the redemption silver of the butterfly dance girl is 60,000 taels of silver......
There was a burst of gasping sounds all around, sixty thousand taels, which is already a lot! Many people's families are just like that, but who wants to go bankrupt for a prostitute?
But Xie Yu dared.
The 60,000 taels of silver was a piece of cake for him. In the past, Xie Yu spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to ransom prostitutes, but today's 60,000 taels is very little in his opinion.
"That's good." When Ruyue heard this, she immediately nodded, took out a few silver tickets from her sleeve, counted them, and handed them all to Mother Xue.
Mother Xue trembled and went to pick it up. When she got the butterfly dance, it only cost six taels!
But at this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded on the stage: "Mother Xue, have you forgotten what you promised me?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Mother Xue's hand that was about to receive the silver ticket immediately retracted like an electric shock, and her face changed suddenly.
Everyone's eyes turned to the high platform, not understanding what Butterfly Dance meant.
In the box on the second floor, Xie Yu, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, opened his eyes suddenly, and glanced downstairs with some interest.
Mother Xue's face turned red at first, and then slowly turned a little whiter, she turned around, faced the butterfly girl standing quietly on the high platform, and said with a look of embarrassment: "Girl, my mother promised to let you choose the guest to enter the curtain by yourself, but this Xie Gongzi is the dragon and phoenix among people, and if you follow him, you will definitely not insult you!" ”
"Who said that Xie Gongzi was the only one present, and he was the dragon and phoenix among people?" Hearing this, Diewu smiled lightly, like a firstborn child: "Gongzi Xie's status is noble, but those who came today are not only Yan Jun, the son of Lord Yan of the Ministry of War, but also Zhang Tingsheng, the son of Prime Minister Zhang's mansion, by the way, and Gu Xiaoye, the son of Jinye Houfu!" ”
When it came to the last person, the butterfly girl's eyes immediately showed a hint of joy. As soon as the words fell, she threw a wink at Gu Xiaoye, and asked sweetly: "The son of the Gu family, dare."
Q: Would you like to ransom the little girl? Instead of 60,000 taels, you only need to take out 3,000 taels. ”
Gu Xiaoye was overwhelmed by this flattering eye, and her whole body was fluttering. couldn't care about anything else, so he just nodded and said, "It's a great honor for Xiaosheng to redeem the girl!" As he spoke, he hurriedly motioned to Xuanyuan Ye on the side to take out the silver ticket.
All the spectators around this scene exploded.
"Mother Xue, what the hell is going on? We have more silver, so why can't we redeem Butterfly Dancer? ”
"Yes, yes! Gongzi Xie was willing to pay 60,000 taels to redeem the butterfly girl, but she didn't want it, she only needed the son of the Gu family to pay 3,000 taels of silver tickets, which was really weird! ”
Being slapped in the face in public like this, Xie Yu sat on the second floor, and the expression on his face was cloudy in an instant.
It's a pity that Gu Xiaoye didn't realize that he had become the target of public criticism at all, and the unexpected favor of the beauty made him feel light all over, and when Xuanyuan Ye took out the silver ticket, he took it without hesitation and handed it directly to Mother Xue. He shouted: "Mother Xue, what about the deed of sale of the butterfly dance girl?" ”
Mother Xue didn't reach out to take the silver ticket in his hand, which was more, three thousand taels or sixty thousand taels, how could she not know? Who does she want to sell Butterfly Dance to, does it need to be said?
But Gu Xiaoye was also stunned, and Xue's mother didn't answer, so he urged: "Mom, you quickly take the silver ticket!" Didn't you hear what the butterfly girl just said? ”
"Butterfly dance. Do you really want your mother to be so embarrassed? Mother Xue ignored Gu Xiaoye, but turned her head to Butterfly Dance who was standing quietly on the stage and asked.
Butterfly Dance didn't answer, but just glanced at Gu Xiaoye affectionately. As long as she is a person with long eyes, she can see who she likes more in her heart.
In the box on the second floor, Xie Yu snorted coldly. His white face was full of mockery.
When Mother Xue saw this scene, she gritted her teeth angrily, she looked at Gu Xiaoye, but she didn't dare to offend him. This young man is not terrible, what is terrible is the Jinye Hou behind him, how dare she, a small proprietress of Yuxianglou, dare to confront the famous Jinye Hou of the dynasty? She's not a long-term suspect!
However, Xie Yu is the nephew of the queen's mother, and this one is also a master who cannot be offended! Otherwise, as soon as Xie Yu gets angry, it is possible to demolish this place!
Mother Xue was in a dilemma, she couldn't say a word for a long time, and the expression on her face was very ugly.
But Gu Xiaoye was itchy to be looked at by beauties. I can't wait to redeem Butterfly Dance and keep it warm, but I still keep urging Mother Xue, as if Butterfly Dance's words just now are a holy decree.
Mother Xue was forced to be anxious, and couldn't help but shout with her neck; "Which brothel have you seen where the girls sell their own? Who Butterfly Dance is going to sell to, I have the final say! "Eternal Waste.
When Gu Xiaoye heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and when he wanted to refute, he couldn't say a word.
At this moment, the butterfly on the stage
Wu smiled lightly, she turned her head, glanced at Gu Xiaoye with affection, and said with a smile: "Gu Shizi, it seems that Mother Xue dislikes the three thousand taels of silver too little, you, can you add a little more?" The concubine body, the concubine body really only wants to serve the son. He said. Slightly drooped his head and neck.
Gu Xiaoye's bones were crispy at this glance, and at that time, he couldn't care about anything, so he nodded and said, "Okay!" My son will pay 10,000 taels! ”
This time it was added by 7,000 taels, which surprised many people at the time. But more people are watching the show.
After all, 10,000 taels is six times worse than 60,000 taels!
Xie Yu sat upstairs, listening to Butterfly Dance talking to Gu Xiaoye, the expression on his face became more and more mocking, "Smack!" With a bang, the glass wine bottle in his hand was crushed by him!
"Gu Xiaoye, is it? My son remembers you! ”
Rushuang on the side heard this, but she knew that her son-in-law was already angry, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Childe, do you want to add silver?" ”
"How many did we come out and bring?" Xie Yu turned his head and glanced at Rushuang.
Rushuang replied in a low voice: "It's not a lot, there are always 100,000 taels." ”
"This is the hole card, don't be in a hurry to throw it out, this son wants to see, who will this old bustard promise her to!" Xie Yu smiled intently.
Butterfly Dance didn't dare to answer, and stood quietly aside.
Downstairs, Gu Xiaoye threw out 10,000 taels of silver tickets, but Mother Xue still looked embarrassed: "Gu Shizi, if you redeem the peony for 10,000 taels, the peony is okay, but the butterfly dance girl is the Oiran of our Yuxiang Building!" Her worth of silver is by no means 10,000 taels. ”
"Mother Xue."
Gu Xiaoye was about to answer, but at this moment, the butterfly dance on the stage shouted, successfully diverting everyone's attention.
"Girl, what else do you want to say?" Mother Xue now feels uncomfortable when she sees the butterfly dancing, such a woman, she used to think she was her own cash cow, but now it seems that she is clearly going to kill herself!
However, she was reluctant to make a huge profit from this girl!
"Mother Xue, don't you remember what you promised me before? Do you want me to repeat it to you again? Facing Mother Xue's angry eyes that almost breathed fire, Butterfly Dance smiled very gently.
Xuanyuan Jingxi hid in the crowd and watched quietly, at this time he had already sensed Butterfly Dance's intentions, and couldn't help but whisper to Amber on the side: "Do you want to learn from last time, and want to get a large number of debts that Gu Xiaoye can't bear to him?" ”
"It's secondary." Amber smiled lowly and said, "This Xie Yu will be compared, the person who provoked him has never ended well, the prince just looks down." ”
Xuanyuan Jingxi glanced down at her, closed his mouth and looked at the center of the field.
I saw that Mother Xue had endured her anger for a long time and finally couldn't bear it anymore: "Yes."
! Butterfly Dance, Mom, I promised you to allow you to choose the guests to enter the curtain, but Mother Xue I also said it! Unless the person you fancy is paying more than everyone else in the field! This son of the ancient family only paid 10,000 taels of silver, and he is far worse than Gongzi Xie's 60,000 taels! ”
Mother Xue shouted out this sentence desperately, then closed her eyes and gasped slightly. This one by one, why can't she be better?
Hearing this, Diewu smiled slightly, and said, "But, Mother Xue, you forgot, I also said that the person I fancy only needs to pay ten times the price of the amount I specified, even if it is less than the most expensive Xie Gongzi on the field, he can redeem me, right?" This is the final result of our negotiation, right? ”
Ten times three thousand taels, that's thirty thousand taels.
"That's right! However, you only gave three thousand taels, which is too ......" Mother Xue obviously couldn't let go of Xie Yu's sixty thousand taels, and said with a sad face when she heard this.
None of the two sons in front of her want to offend! However, no one has trouble with money, does it?
"Then I don't care." Hearing this, Diewu turned her head and smiled at Gu Xiaoye, and said, "Gu Shizi, you, are you willing to give me this 30,000 taels of ransom silver?" ”
The silver money doubled again, Gu Xiaoye was shocked, he stood there with his mouth open, and couldn't say a word for a long time.
There was obviously a hint of disappointment in Butterfly Dance's eyes, she glanced at Gu Xiaoye reluctantly, and sighed: "Okay, this 30,000 taels is not a small amount, Gu Shizi is not willing to spend so much silver for the concubine, the concubine does not blame you, it's just that we are fated to be inseparable......"
That leisurely sigh made Gu Xiaoye's heart very sad, and he involuntarily rushed out: "Okay! I'll give you the 30,000 taels of silver! ”
"I'll pay 100,000 taels." At this moment, a faint voice came from the second floor, but it was enough for everyone present to hear it.
