Chapter 20: Kyoto is a scoundrel
"Oh... You said that the sound of the piano, it was the girls of Yuehualou playing, among which Miss Zhen Ji's elegance was a must in Beicheng! ”
When he said this, Lin Ling obviously caught the imperceptible dirty color on the old man's face, and the suspicion in his heart suddenly became a little thicker.
"Then dare to ask the old gentleman, where is the Hualou this month? Why can't Xiaosheng find him? ”
In fact, Lin Ling had already seen it, but he had already missed it a hundred meters away, and the sound of the piano sounded in his ears a lot, so Lin Ling always thought that it should be the glass pavilion in front of him that closed the door.
"From this point of view, the son must be the outsider, anyone in the capital, who doesn't know the Yuehualou Zhen Ji girl, if the son wants to see the girl's face, you can make the money with me, and the old man will take you there."
After pretending to be a literati for a long time, the old man in front of him finally showed his feet, seeing that Lin Ling was so yearning for the top brand of that Yuehua Building, he actually opened his mouth to ask for money.
"No, no, no, Xiao Sheng didn't mean that, he was just a little curious about the sudden sound of the piano."
Lin Ling was taken aback by the old man's sudden change, Rao was already prepared in his heart, Lin Ling was still shocked by the old man's purpose.
"Childe, you have to think clearly, that Yuehualou is not for everyone to enter, and you also heard the sound of the piano just now, and the one that was played was Liuli drunk Acacia, which was a song that only royal people had the honor to hear in the previous dynasty."
In fact, Lin Ling really didn't know anything about the glass drunken acacia that the old man said, but he just felt that the words just now were very beautiful.
"Thank you to the old man for solving his doubts, but Xiaosheng is not the one who knows music, so it's better not to watch it, so as not to be ugly in front of people, and say goodbye."
As he spoke, Lin Ling shook off his wide scholarly robe, with a slight disgust for the old man in his words, and was about to leave with his sleeves.
Although Lin Ling was a gentleman, who knew that the old man was lazy, like a dog skin plaster, he directly spread his hands and crossed in front of Lin Ling, blocking the way back.
"Childe, dissipate your anger, listen to me after I finish speaking, this Miss Zhen Ji is not only proficient in music and rhythm, but also looks better than Concubine Sanjin."
"Isn't this peerless silk music that Childe has the privilege of listening to today a kind of fate? If Gongzi leaves like this, it is really a great opportunity to see the flowers. ”
Hearing this, the unhappiness on Lin Ling's face gradually disappeared, after all, Lin Ling is still young and not deeply involved in the world, if Guo Quan is present at this time, he will definitely scold this shameless old thing.
And when he saw Lin Ling's intention, the old man immediately raised his spirit again, then his eyes widened, he raised his arm and lifted his sleeves, revealing a skinny palm, and said to Lin Ling:
"Five taels, son, the little old man only needs five taels, and he will definitely be able to ensure that the son can see the face of Miss Zhen Ji!"
Seeing the old man trembling and stretching out a slap, and confidently opening his mouth to ask for five taels of silver, Lin Ling was almost choked with internal injuries.
Lin Ling is not Guo Quan, he can throw out five ingots of silver with a flick of his hand, and with Lin Ling's current financial resources, let alone five taels, even if he goes out to buy a steamed bun, he has to hold on tightly to the penny and rub it for a long time, where will there be that spare money to give to the obscene old man in front of him.
"Farewell!"
Seeing the true face of this old man clearly at this moment, Lin Ling didn't have the mood to continue to be polite, and arched his hand directly, and when he raised his foot, he staggered.
But as the saying goes, it's better to hurt a gentleman than to mess with a villain, this sentence is not unreasonable.
This old man's name is Yao Chun, and he is the second in the family, but people who know his temperament like to call him Yao Lao Er, but few people call him by his name.
Although Yao Lao Er is also a native of Leyang, but in fact he is a famous gambler in Beicheng, Yao Lao Er's family was also quite rich and solid in the early years, but since he was infected with the pickled matter of rolling dice, in just two years, the huge family business has been completely lost.
In the end, his wife was separated and his family was ruined, and in his old age, only Yao Lao Er was left to live in the ancestral house in the north of the city to barely survive.
Although it is much stronger now than in the early years, this Yao Lao Er will not change his life, and he will still be wandering around Beicheng if he has nothing to do.
As for Lin Ling, in fact, Yao Lao Ermao has been observing him for a long time in the corner on the side.
The reason why Lin Ling was chosen was because of Lin Ling's temperament, although Lin Ling was just dressed in an ordinary scholar's plain clothes, and his body was clean, without a money bag and no jade accessories.
But just looking at Lin Ling's bright eyes and his lofty posture, he walked more gently and elegantly, and talked with quality, Yao Lao Er guessed that even if this person was not born in a powerful family, he must be a rich person.
The most important thing is that Lin Ling has a curious look at everything, and a clear-eyed person can know at a glance that this person is a foreigner, and for outsiders, Yao Lao Er has his own set of methods to deceive.
However, Rao is a shrewd person like Yao Laoer, and he has never seen a foreigner like Lin Ling who just leaves, and he doesn't even give room for bargaining, so he just brushes his sleeves and leaves, which makes Yao Laoer, who has experienced a hundred battles, not embarrassed.
However, the more Lin Ling was like this, the more Yao Lao Er concluded that this person was that rich and noble, and at this time, seeing that Lin Ling was going to forcibly break through his own defense line and leave, with Yao Lao Er's temperament, how could he let him get his wish.
"Childe, the price is all negotiated, if you feel that the price is unreasonable, then the little old man will bear to cut his love, and only charge the son two taels, which is the minimum that the little old man can bear."
Seeing that Lin Ling insisted on leaving, Yao Lao Er simply learned the trick of splashing skin, and directly reached out and grabbed Lin Ling's wide sleeves and splashed it.
"Old man, please let go, if you pretend to be like this again, you will have to report to the official!"
However, no matter how Lin Ling dragged it, his sleeves could not escape the clutches of Yao Lao Er, and seeing that the sleeves were about to be separated from the robe, Lin Ling was also angry at the moment, and directly threatened Yao Lao Er.
But what kind of person is Yao Laoer, that is a character who can roll around at the entrance of the yamen, how can he be afraid of Lin Ling's threat, listening to Lin Ling say this at this moment, he only thought that Lin Ling had no way to take him, and suddenly became even more energetic.
Seeing that the two were about to scuffle together, at this moment, neither of them noticed that three people came quietly behind them.
And one of the young men, who seemed to be obviously a child of the aristocracy, was shaking a folding fan with poems inscribed in the ice and snow, fanning the cold wind with an intriguing face, looking at Lin Ling and the two of them with an intriguing face.
"I said, Yao Er, why is it that you have been good at technology recently, and you dare to rob openly in front of this public, isn't it the scar from last time, and new meat has grown?"
Yao Lao Er, who was in a stalemate with Lin Ling at the moment, suddenly heard such a strange sound of yin and yang behind him, and suddenly his hands stiffened, and the whole person was stunned on the spot like a stupid chicken.
At this time, Lin Ling also noticed these strange three people, but at this moment Lin Ling was more concerned about his sleeves, seeing that Yao Lao Er was stunned, Lin Ling seized the opportunity, suddenly afterburner, and immediately pulled his sleeves back.
