There was no word all night, and in the blink of an eye, it was dawn the next day.
Wan Dong and Lei Peng, who slept well, began to wander around Jinling City. Wan Dong gave Lei Peng a thousand taels of silver and told him to buy whatever he wanted. The two spent the morning in a lot of money, and they were addicted to it.
Wandering around until noon, I went to the ready-to-wear store. Sure enough, driven by five times the price, all ten sets of clothes, hats, shoes and socks were made and packed in a bamboo box. After Wan Dong paid the silver taels, Lei Peng happily took out a set and changed it, then picked up the bamboo box containing the rest of the clothes, and went out of the garment shop with Wan Dong. Finding a place where no one was, Lei Peng received the bamboo box into his storage space.
After finding a random restaurant for lunch, Wan Dong and Lei Peng came to a dental shop. Throw a tael of silver to the guy who greeted him, and ask him to find a few tooth men to come over. Seeing Wan Dong's generous move, the man knew that this was a big customer, so he hurriedly led him to a private room. After a few minutes of effort, several toothed mermaids rushed in.
Wan Dong sat on the front seat with Erlang's legs crossed, and Lei Peng stood by his side. A few tooth men came in and saluted respectfully.
Knocking on the table next to the chair, Wan Dong said: "You are eight to twenty-eight years old, you can sign the death deed, regardless of gender, regardless of the number, as long as you are healthy and not sick, I want them all." ”
The people of the Tooth were shocked when they heard this, such as the chaos today, the war is everywhere, and the number of displaced people is innumerable. In order to have something to eat and a place to live, those who are willing to sign the death deed are also grabbing a handful. It's a big deal like I've never seen before.
Knocking on the table again, Wan Dong raised his hand to suppress the introduction of everyone's gossip and chaos. "Listen to my conditions clearly, as long as they meet, I want them all. You count the number of people, and I'll come tomorrow to pick them up. The money will not be missing from you. ”
Then he laid down five minots of silver on the table, "Ten taels of deposit for each man." Remind you that as long as there is one indiscriminate, I will let you understand that my money is not so easy to cheat. You can take your deposit and get to work. After speaking, he got up and left with Lei Peng.
Summoned a guy from the dental shop, found a fangya, and prepared to buy a yard to accommodate the large number of people who had been bought.
Fang Ya introduced several places, and Wan Dong was not very satisfied, all because the area was too small. In the end, Wan Dong asked Fang Ya to take him directly to the largest property for sale.
The largest private house was owned by a courtier-squire who had been excluded. It covers an area of nearly 30 acres, and is located on the edge of Mochou Lake, close to the Qinhuai River, and the asking price is quite high, requiring 5ooo two silver.
Wan Dong, who is already worth one million taels of money, no longer looks at this little money. did not bargain, and directly pulled out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, with a face value of 1,000 taels. And he counted five pieces, and took out two ingots of ten taels of silver, and gave the other things to the fangya. Fang Ya got a lot of tips, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth and went to work happily.
Under Wan Dong's silver bullet offensive, a single qiē problem was not a problem, and close to evening, this big mansion had become Wan Dong's private property. In fact, Wan Dong didn't care about these procedures, because he already regarded the entire earth at this time as his own.
The original dozens of servants and maids in the house were all left to continue to hire, and everyone was rewarding one or two pieces of silver to enjoy the money, and everyone was very happy.
Seeing that the time is about the same, the Oiran Contest in the Drunken Immortal Building is about to start. Wan Dong patted Lei Peng on the shoulder and said, "It's going to be a little dizzy, don't panic, let's go watch the Oiran competition." ”
In the alley next to the Drunken Immortal Building, Wan Dong and Lei Peng quietly appeared. An unkempt beggar, holding a child, looked at Wan Dong and Lei Peng who appeared out of thin air in horror. The next moment, a terrible female voice came out of the beggar's mouth, which startled Wan Dong. It turned out to be a woman. I didn't expect such a thin body to make such a loud noise. The little child wasn't very scared, just hid in his mother's arms, turned his big black eyes, and stared at Wan Dong secretly.
Looking at this poor mother and daughter, I am afraid that life is very difficult. Seeing that there was no one left and right, Wan Dong took out two ingots of silver and shook them in front of the beggar's eyes. When the beggar saw the money, he quickly shut it up. Although he still looked at Wan Dong in fear, he still showed a trace of longing for silver.
"Be careful with your flowers, don't be robbed, and don't let others show your money." After thinking about it, he felt that this was inappropriate, and found in the storage space that he had brought a small silver nugget weighing 5 grams from the Overworld, and there were about fifty or sixty pieces left, along with two ingots of silver in a small cloth bag, and stuffed them into the beggar.
"Hide the big pieces of silver, spend small pieces of silver, and watch out for your own safety, alas." Touching the child's head, Wan Dong turned around and left with Lei Peng.
The beggar got a windfall from heaven, and hurriedly took the child to kowtow in the direction of Wan Dong's walking, and said in his mouth, "Thank you to the gods for saving the suffering, thank you to the gods for saving the suffering." Holding the small cloth bag tightly in his arms, tears flowed silently.
The child in his arms saw his mother crying, and said softly: "Mother, don't cry, my sister doesn't shout that I'm hungry, I'm so well-behaved." ”
The mother hugged the child, and when she heard the children's words, her tears couldn't be stopped.
The two walked out of the alley, and Lei Peng said: "The son is a bodhisattva, and there will be good rewards." ”
Wan Dong smiled lightly and said: "These people may be my people in the future, and when they see their people suffering, of course they must help if they can." ”
has seen Wan Dong's methods, no matter what earth-shattering words Wan Dong says now, Lei Peng feels that he can accept it calmly. Childe should be one of the immortals, I don't know why he fell into the dust.
If Wan Dong knew what Lei Peng was thinking at the moment, he might be rolling on the ground with laughter. Now he is just a small citizen who has had an adventure.
This place is very close to the Drunken Immortal Building, which occupies a very wide area. Wan Dong once sat on the top of the tower of the Great Bao'en Temple, overlooking the drunken immortal tower, which is a huge building complex.
When he and Lei Peng arrived at the door, it was when the lights were on.
Under the illumination of countless lanterns and torches, the front of the Drunken Immortal Building at this time seems to be more lively than the street during the day.
A sedan chair carrying some powerful figures, and three or five scholars, came on foot. Presumably, this place will become a gathering place for the entire upper class of Jinling tonight.
The Oiran Contest was held in the largest welcome building in the Zuisen Building. The four-storey building is hollow in the middle, and a stage has been set up to show talents.
Above the second floor, there are separate single rooms to allow guests to have more privacy. It seems that the operator of this drunken immortal building has put a lot of effort into it.
I chose the best private room on the second floor near the stage, and it cost an extra 1oo taels of silver for this, which is a lot of money.
It cost an extra hundred taels of silver, and the fruit tea that came with it will naturally not be less.
Wan Dong sat on the fence, Erlang put his legs on another chair, drinking tea and knocking melon seeds.
Lei Peng didn't have much interest in these things, so he found a chair to sit on, took out a roast chicken from his storage space, and nibbled on it as if no one was around. He had been messing around with Wan Dong for a day, and he knew that the son he followed had no quarrel and would not care about these little things.
A swarthy man sat at the table, grabbing a roast chicken and nibbling wildly, and a young man who looked like a boy and brother was leaning on Erlang's legs, leaning on the fence and eating melon seeds. This is what the old bustard lady saw when she entered this expensive single room with a few girls who were sitting with her.
Li Niang was stunned for a moment, and her expression stiffened. However, after many years of ushering in, she quickly adjusted her mentality. 'There are strange things every year, but this year is not much. The old lady has been building for so many years, and she has never seen anything. ’
"Yo, this son's eyes are very raw, and the slave family calls him Liniang. Is it the first time for Childe to come to our Drunken Immortal Building? Today, we are holding an Oiran Contest in the Drunken Immortal Building, and I don't know which girl can be lucky enough to let the son take a fancy to him. Li Niang spoke directly to Wan Dong. In her opinion, that swarthy man was just a clay kiln player.
"The Oiran Contest has not yet started, do you want these girls around me to sit with you and chat first?"
Wan Dong first looked at the old bustard Liniang who was crackling in front of him, she was in her thirties, and her charm still existed, but she was quite a mature woman. It is more in line with Wandong's aesthetics, and as for the few girls brought, I will thank you for not being sensitive.
"Li Niang, you can leave me to pour tea, and the others let them do it." gave Lei Peng a look and motioned for him to reward a few wine girls with some silver. How could the hero of Nai Lei was fighting to the death with the roast chicken in his hand, and he didn't look at Wan Dong at all.
Wan Dong had no choice but to get up by himself, handed Li Niang two ingots of silver, and asked her to divide the girls. By the way, he gave Lei Peng a kick. Lei Peng looked at Wan Dong a little inexplicably, not knowing what kind of nerves his son-in-law had.
"This guy can be counted on in a fight, and it seems that he has to hurry up and find a clever retinue." Wan Dong thought to himself.
"Girls, thank you for the reward." With a wave of his hand, several warblers and Yanyan behind him bowed down and gave a salute.
"Childe, it's not impossible for Li Niang to accompany you here, it's just that tonight's Oiran Competition, all aspects need to be properly arranged. If there is an omission, it will inevitably disturb the interest of the childe. After Liniang arranged it properly, she came to toast her son. Now I ask Childe to forgive me. ”
Seeing that what Li Niang said is reasonable, Wan Dong is not too much. He waved his hand and told them all to retreat.
The rules of the Oiran Contest are very simple, first the girls perform their talents. After everyone has finished performing, the guests will lay flowers. In the end, the ranking of the Oiran Contest is determined according to the number of flowers each girl gets.
Of course, the flowers are not the kind that you pick from outside, but you have to buy the flowers of the Drunken Immortal Building to count. Each flower sells for one tael of silver, which is an absolute price grab. You must know that in these years, one tael of silver can buy half a stone of rice (about 45 kilograms). Lei Peng's roast chicken can buy 15 for one tael of silver.
Wan Dong didn't care much about the silver, because he robbed the floating wealth of more than 20 rebel leaders. And the people who can come here today to spend a lot of money are none other than the richest group of people in Jinling City.
Just as Lei Peng was about to eliminate the second roast chicken.
A burst of silk and bamboo orchestral music sounded, the noisy voices gradually calmed down, and the Oiran Contest officially began.
