Chapter 69: Invitation to the Palace
Updated: 2013-06-02
Wan Qiliang didn't know when he fell asleep, and when he woke up, it was already three poles, anyway, Zuichun Building was also open at night, and now was the time for the girls to make up for sleep, but Mother Xu didn't seem to plan to let her go. Before she woke up, she vaguely heard Mother Xu downstairs shouting at her throat, but she actually heard her name.
After changing her dress and freshening up again, Wan Qiliang went downstairs slowly, and Mother Xu saw her as if she had seen a savior, "Oh, my little aunt, why did you get up at this time?" ”
Mother Xu couldn't help but still complain a little, she had long wanted to find Wan Qiliang in Baili Ranfeng's box, but she didn't expect that there was no one in the box, she also disappeared, and she didn't see any trace of her after looking around on the first and second floors, and each box on the third floor had a specific owner, even if she was the old bustard in charge of the Zuichun Building, she didn't have the right to enter their room without permission, and finally had to wait honestly for Wan Qiliang to come out downstairs, fortunately, there was still time.
"What's wrong with Mother Xu being so anxious?" Wan Qiliang felt the staring eyes of the women around her, almost all of them were full of jealousy and malice, her arrival did cause a lot of impact on them, but she didn't belong here, but unfortunately she still committed public anger.
"It's not because of you." Mother Xu showed the same look of wealth as last night, "Tonight, the emperor has a banquet for hundreds of officials in the palace, and the son of the Ouyang family specially arranged for you to dance in front of the palace." "It's a lot of silver beckoning to her again, how can Mother Xu be unhappy.
"The son of the Ouyang family? I don't know which son? Wan Qiliang asked deliberately.
"Which other son, naturally it is Young Master Ouyang Chengxi, he obviously didn't come yesterday, but I didn't expect your reputation to have reached his ears, and being able to be looked at by him is a blessing that others can't cultivate in several lifetimes."
Sure enough, it's him, Ouyang Chengxi, what kind of calculation do you have in your heart? It was her mistake not to teach him a lesson yesterday, she didn't expect him to be so difficult, and now that he was on his turf, she wanted to see what else he could do.
Wan Qiliang was already a little annoyed in his heart, but there was a flattered expression on his face, which even stimulated several other women who couldn't get this kind of good opportunity. Before Wan Qiliang came, Lan Rao was the top brand of Zuichun Building, and this kind of good thing generally fell on her head, but in this industry, at her twenty-one-year-old age, even if there was no appearance of Mei Liang, Mother Xu would not let her attend such an important occasion again, but it was more likely that the sixteen-year-old Qingxi was also just coming to Zuichun Lou, and I heard that it was the family that fell to this place, and she always carried the talent and arrogance of a small jasper, I am afraid that it is the object of Xu's mother's focus on training during this time, and she will soon be able to become a teacher.
"Mom, isn't it too rash to let her go to the palace banquet when she first came and didn't understand anything?" Lan Rao was unwilling, she thought it was just a little girl with a little freshness, but she didn't expect that as soon as she appeared on the scene yesterday, she hooked the three souls of several of her ministers under her skirt to seven spirits, so that when she was happy with the guests yesterday, she was treated as her and returned happy, which is really angry and hateful.
"That's it, Mom, you can't be so partial." A person's dissatisfaction aroused everyone's rebellious feelings, although they usually look down on one and the other, but at this time, they naturally know which camp to choose, if they let Mei Liang dominate, I am afraid that in the future, this drunken spring building will not even have a place for them to stand.
"What is the quarrel, what is the quarrel, if you have the ability, you will also let Ouyang Gongzi take a fancy to you, you will know that you are jealous here, it is better to go back and learn the kung fu in the bed, so as to grasp the people in your hands now." Mother Xu waved her hand, it is common for this girl to quarrel and quarrel with each other, and she can even turn a blind eye to it if she usually says it, but if she delays her good time to make money today, she may definitely be so angry that she will peel off a layer of skin for them.
"Mom......" Lan Rao wanted to say something, but was directly interrupted by Xu's mother, she had to shut her mouth in a sneer, and handed Wan Qiliang a jealous look by the way.
She had seen a lot of this kind of look, Wan Qiliang didn't react at all, and asked Mother Xu, "Mother Xu, what day is this palace banquet?" ”
Lan Rao made a disdainful voice, as if she was laughing at Wan Qiliang for not understanding anything, Wan Qiliang didn't care, but it was better not to do something to her behind her back, she was not a soft-hearted master now.
"You don't ask, I'm so interrupted by this group of little hooves that I forgot to explain it to you, you come with me, and I'll tell you slowly." Mother Xu took Wan Qiliang to her room, and the look on her face was a little serious.
"Mei Liang, you came to this drunken spring building by yourself, let's not say what your purpose is, there are too many guests in this building that you can't afford to provoke, if I find out that you have any bad behavior, don't blame my mother for being ruthless after finding out."
"Mother Xu, rest assured, I won't do anything to harm the interests of Zuichun Mansion for the time being." I want to give her a horse, but it's a pity that she doesn't eat this set.
"For the time being? If you say that, you're going to embarrass my mother. Mother Xu's tone couldn't help but increase a little, and her eyes became a little sharper, sure enough, she was not only a brothel boss, but also knew how to scare people.
"I'm not from Zuichun Building, if something really happens, Mother Xu only needs to prevaricate with this sentence." Presumably, with the Nightmare Sect as a backer, it would be more difficult for Drunken Chunlou to come up with any major problems, and if the Nightmare Sect was exterminated or disbanded one day, she should only think about her fate.
"How could things be as simple as you thought?" Mother Xu sighed, she suddenly felt that Wan Qiliang's current was very much like her before, and she was so arrogant. The eyes are above the top, but Wan Qiliang has more money than her, and it will not be like she was cheated of money and deceived by sex, and finally fell into the end of being sold into a prostitute, but fortunately she met the leader of the Nightmare Sect, and it was he who gave her a feeling of living again, so at that time she swore that she would be loyal to Youqin Jiatian until the last moment of her life, if she could be twenty years younger, maybe Xiao would want to become the leader of the sect, but now it's good, at least she can feel that she has a meaningful life.
"How complicated is that? I will do what I can, and if I can't, I will just run away. Wan Qiliang just wanted to use this conversation to make Xu's mother let down her guard and believe that she really had no malicious intentions, otherwise she wouldn't have talked so much nonsense with her.
It's really open-minded, if she could have such an understanding when she was young, she might not have had such a miserable experience, this is just based on these few words, Mother Xu still can't believe her, she came too strangely, there are very few women who take the initiative to step into the Qinglou, and there is no deed of sale between them to maintain the relationship, in case Wan Qiliang does something terrible in the name of Zuichun Lou, isn't it them who clean up the mess? There may also be something about exposing the Nightmare Cult, but it's all because she didn't think about it at the time, and now that she thinks about it, it's like luring a wolf into the house.
"Mother Xu doesn't believe me, and I can't help it, but Mother Xu knows so many people, she should always have the ability to distinguish whether others are good or bad, if I really want to do something, I won't sit here honestly and tell you this now."
Mother Xu thinks about it, it's useless to be suspicious now, if you really don't worry about her, just send a few more people to stare in secret, I believe that this charming and cold weak woman can't turn the sky upside down, right?
"I'll believe you first, if I find out that you lied to me, you won't end well." Mother Xu warned for the last time.
"I understand, can Mother Xu tell me about the palace banquet now?" Wan Qiliang didn't want to really go wrong at that time.
"Every month there is a banquet in the fifteenth house, you don't even know this? You're not from Yuan Tang? The guard that had finally relaxed was regained, and Mother Xu stared at Wan Qiliang, looking like 'you give me an honest explanation'.
"It's true that I'm not from the Yuan Tang Dynasty, and to put it bluntly, I'm here to find someone."
"Looking for someone? Who are you looking for? ”
"Has Mother Xu ever heard of a phrase called 'curiosity kills cats'?" Wan Qiliang said to Xu's mother in an eerie tone, and blew a cool breath in her ear by the way, which scared her whole body and made her look a little funny in an instant.
"At least I'm still a person from Zuichunlou, if Mother Xu doesn't plan to tell her, once something goes wrong, I will definitely pull Zuichunlou into the water, Mother Xu rest assured."
Feel relieved? I'm relieved! Mother Xu was almost scolded directly by being like that just now, but fortunately she held back, if she was not mistaken just now, a trace of killing intent did flash in Mei Liang's eyes, and it was aimed at her, which made her really feel a chill.
"I said, I said, this palace banquet is just a way of contact between the emperor and the ministers, and it is also a blind date meeting for the younger generation, in this kind of banquet, there will always be a performance of the daughters of each family on stage, and there will be a reward for selecting the best emperor, and even if the emperor is happy, he can also agree to the winner's request, so I said that you don't know how many generations of blessings have been cultivated to be so good." Mother Xu said a lot of words in one go, and Wan Qiliang could be regarded as having heard it, but how could Ouyang Chengxi let her attend on such an occasion?
"Mother Xu, has there ever been a Qinglou woman performing at the palace banquet?"
"How could there be? Naturally, some daughters are in the limelight, how can people like us be on that kind of stage? Mother Xu seemed to have heard some joke, and felt that Wan Qiliang's question was really redundant.
Hearing Xu's mother's answer, Wan Qiliang understood what Ouyang Chengxi's purpose was in doing this, since you are deliberately against me, I will play this game with you to see who is the final winner.
