Chapter 3 Life is like a dream, and each has a deal
Wen Quai's sudden visit to the capital caused a shock to the capital, which really made the heads of various families and factions scramble. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The ghost venerable descended, the evil demons of the outer road were raging, and the mountain and land tombs appeared...... Waves of major events, like raging waves, have already shocked these leaders into a daze, and they are hurriedly discussing how to deal with the situation, so as to grasp the latest evolution of the situation and seize the opportunity.
Compared with these major events, the arrival of a wealthy landlord in the south of the country who arrived in the imperial capital has neither official status nor family lineage, so it cannot attract attention at all, but considering the King Kong Temple and the Heavenly Ladder behind him, these big forces must still pay attention to it, and they have made invitations.
However, this is the imperial capital, the attention to receiving guests, is not comparable to the southern seaport, the Wen family is just a group of soy sauce traffickers, even if they are now backed by the heavenly ladder, they are also doing business, and they dare to enter Beijing in a high-profile manner, it is simply shameless, if you still treat this kind of person as a VIP and welcome it to the house, it will be shameful even for your own family, and you will be ridiculed in the future and become a problem at home.
In view of this, the invitations of various parties to Wen Quai's illness are basically held in an annex or a restaurant, rather than a formal banquet in their own house, and the object of the post has also been specially chosen.
With the weight of the Wen family's backing of two Heavenly Rank people, Wen Quai, as the head of the family, is enough to be on a par with any of the family heads in the six counties, and the reception must also be this weight, but considering the bad deeds of his reputation, he can't even ask for his own house, if it comes out at the level of the head of the family, it is obviously inappropriate.
Considering Wen Quai's age, it seems more appropriate for young people in their teens and twenties to come forward, and the atmosphere is more relaxed and convenient to speak, so the people who post to invite Wen Qubing to the banquet are basically the elites of the younger generation from various families, and almost all of them are on the star list.
Young people can let go, as long as they are not the stable successors with the title of "future head of the family", it doesn't matter if they play out of line, these people are based on Wen Quai's past information, and almost all of the invitation locations are prostitution halls and song buildings in the imperial capital, so they want to give Wen Qubing a chance to show his romance.
After consideration, Wen Quzhi chose to respond first to Long Chujiu's invitation, this one is not a stranger, he came to his house to visit twice, and it is also reasonable to say goodbye by himself, so he didn't wait for dark, so he took Long Yun'er to the appointment.
“...... In the past, when I visited the kiln, I always put you outside, but this time I want to take you in, no problem, right?"
In the carriage, Wen Quzhi squinted at Long Yun'er, who was dressed as a secretary, who did not speak, but patted his chest and made a foolproof gesture.
...... The enemy is dark and the situation is clear, the situation is already very dangerous, how can we still be entangled in these minor problems? We can't make trouble for the Wen family brother anymore.
...... I am mentally prepared, unless I see my eldest sister coming out to eat people, no matter what scene I see, I will not waver again!
Long Yun'er was full of confidence, and got out of the carriage with Wen Quai, and saw Long Chujiu, who was already waiting downstairs in Mandarin Duck, and greeted each other, and had their own politeness.
"Master Wen, it's been gone for a while. ”
"Brother Chu Jiu, Wen admires the scenery of the imperial capital, come to eat your Long family's white food, it doesn't matter, right?"
"Ha! Others come to my Long house to eat and drink for nothing, and they don't even think about taking one more sip, but like a distinguished guest like Brother Wen, we are really afraid that you will not come, please! You must eat and drink enough tonight!"
The children of the Long family despise the "white dragon eye" that looks at people, and they are well-known in the world, Long Chujiu is definitely the best at this skill, but once he meets someone who can be recognized, he also knows how to etiquette, shake hands with Wen Quzhi and laugh, stir up the atmosphere, and bring Wen Qubing in.
It was not only Long Chujiu who was present, there has always been a tacit understanding between the families, taboo to eat alone, Wen Quai's invitation to Long Chujiu's banquet, naturally had to make an appointment with some accompanying guests, the Zhu family, the Yuan family, and the martial arts family all had young elites coming, and even the Yuxu True Sect had lay disciples and banquets, and all eyes were focused on Wen Quai's body, wanting to explore his bottom.
"I have heard for a long time that the Mandarin Duck Tower is one of the eight major Fengyue resorts in the imperial capital, and today since the ninth brother invited me, I have to open my eyes. Wen Quzhi smiled and said: "I don't know the introduction in the guidebook, the Oiran of the Mandarin Duck Tower, the dancing posture and wonderful shadow to clear the frost, and the Weiwei who is listed as the top ten beauties of the empire, did the ninth brother help me prepare for it first?"
Before entering the banquet, he opened his mouth to ask the woman, Long Chujiu's eyebrows trembled slightly, revealing impatience, but then his face turned peaceful, and he laughed with everyone around him, "Brother Wen is really a person of temperament, and his true feelings are reckless, which makes me admire, if there is no such straightforwardness, it is not like you." ”
How could Wen Qubing not hear the real disdain under this superficial praise, and he didn't say that the other party was hypocritical at the moment, but just smiled: "The ninth brother is helping me make an appointment......"
This can only disappoint Brother Wen. ”
Long Chujiu said embarrassedly: "If it is usual, although my Long family is not a landlord in the imperial capital, but these brothels and song buildings, which one dares not to look at my Long family's face as a person? ”
"Dead?" Wen Quzhi pretended to be surprised, and said, "What a beautiful woman, how could she die?"
A young man from the Wang family said: "Brother Wen may not have received news on the road, I don't know, the imperial capital has not been peaceful recently, Weiwei and everyone were killed on the night of the attack on the Jin Palace, and they died very miserably, even the skin was stripped off, and the six doors of the gang of wine bags and rice bags could not solve the case for a long time." ”
"How so?"
Wen Quzhi looked stunned, in fact, he knew better than anything in his heart, after the ghost venerable broke the balance of silence, countless dark tides surged in the imperial capital, some took advantage of the turmoil to pick flowers, and some took advantage of others to pick flowers to commit crimes, the latter included a group of people from the Heart Demon Pavilion.
Taiyi opened the task of the divine soldiers to the Heart Demon Pavilion, but it was very seriously carried out over there, and it didn't consider the manpower problem at all, so it came to a multi-pronged approach and blossomed at the same time.
They let themselves go to the Jin Wangfu to peel off the skins of beauties, and also sent other masters to other places, some directly killed others, and some were pleasantly surprised, mixed in a bunch of flower picking cases that occurred at the same time, others thought that they were flower thieves at most psychopathic, how could they have thought that there would be such entanglements?
And in that round of robbery, rape and murder, not only the wives and daughters of the famous houses of the imperial capital, the wives and concubines of the rich and nobles were victimized, but even the women of the Qinglou were not spared, like the Oiran Weiwei of the Mandarin Duck Tower, who was one of the ten beauties of the empire, and was a great beauty who was highly praised by Xingyue Lake.
The move of the Heart Demon Pavilion can be said to be very disregarding the righteousness of the Nine Outer Dao, of course, between the Nine Outer Dao, there is no righteousness at all, the group of idiots in the Heart Demon Pavilion usually go crazy, and even kill their own people, so the ghost cares what the righteousness of the Nine Outer Dao is for you.
In short, this incident also angered Xingyue Lake, on the one hand, he threatened to bring the combat strength of the heavenly class into Beijing, and advised his colleagues not to act rashly; on the other hand, he also dispatched guards to strengthen the vigilance of the various green buildings and brothels under his control, so as not to be eaten and prostituted for nothing, and even the girl was killed, and the tools for making money were smashed.
This information that belongs to the dark world is not known to everyone on the surface, but the Eight Great Qinglou in the imperial capital was originally a place where literati and scholars, nobles and wealthy businessmen loved to go. In the past few days, there have been frequent bloody cases, and people are panicking, and some aristocratic young people who are conceited and brave have come forward one after another to protect their favorite Oiran or red card.
The so-called protection is to gather the crowd to cheer, stay in the Qinglou for a night, listen to music, drink, sit here, keep Xiaoxiao away, and protect the red card girl you like.
Beauty is colorful, heroes have knives, this can barely be regarded as a rhyme of heroes and beauties, not to mention that these sons and brothers, all of them have family backgrounds and backgrounds, and some of them are both civil and military, and can write lyrics and poems, so it is not just a rhyme, but an elegant matter.
Although, from the point of view of Wen Quai's illness, this group of people is simply in the water, the dignified noble son, who came to the brothel to be a spectator, has no salary, not to mention, can't eat and drink for nothing, and has to pay the bills by himself, is there a stupid thing in the world that is more stupid than this?
However, in the world, some people are willing to fight, some people are willing to suffer, those sons and brothers basically don't care about money, all they care about is reputation, more correctly speaking, they want to be famous, and make these heroes and beauties' rhymes, undoubtedly can be in the limelight, if you are lucky, so you can capture the hearts of beauties, and you can become a celebrity in Beijing, which is greatly beneficial to the upcoming banquet.
Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills, and if life is like a dream, it is all a transaction...... Heroes and beauties, acting on the spot, seem to be stupid, but don't they have their own interests behind them?
Wen Quzhi knows these tricks well, but even if he picks these up, it doesn't mean that he is smart, horizontal and vertical are a game, and he can play the rules and get his own benefits in it......
“...... Gone, gone!"
Wen Quzhi looked interested, turned around and wanted to leave, Long Chujiu stopped in surprise, "Brother Wen, why is this?"
"I came here to drink soup, and now that the soup has been spilled, will you stay here and eat fart if you don't leave?"
Wen Quzhi's expression was super ugly, such an overflowing displeasure, Long Chujiu was disdainful in his heart, and secretly scolded that this was not a person who did big things at all, and he only thought about women in his head, and he was not in a proper manner, but since he was responsible for the reception, these disgusts could only be put away.
"Brother Wen, where is this? There is nothing else in the imperial capital, there are beautiful women, although Miss Weiwei has been killed, but the Mandarin Duck Building has already made up for the Oiran, the new Gao Qilan girl, who is eighteen years old, can sing and dance, and her bright colors are better than Wei ......"
Long Chujiu smiled and spoke, and suddenly scolded in his stomach, feeling that he was the heir of the Long family, and he actually said such things to people, and he was reduced to like a pimp.
However, before he could finish complaining to himself, a young man in the building rushed out, his face was flustered, and he hurriedly said: "Brother Long, it's not good, Qilan has been robbed by others." ”
