Chapter Nine: The Spring Tower (II)
Hua Wuyan became a trotting hall in Michun Building. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Aunt Zhao took great care of him, and did not call him like a cow or horse, nor did she come up to recommend this "preparatory little minister" to the guests, but just asked him to work in the back kitchen and do some easy work such as wiping the table and sweeping the floor.
In the past few days, he has not been in vain, and for the crooked-mouthed middle-aged man in Lieweimen, Hua Wuyan also knocked on the side and heard some information.
The surname is Gu, and he is called Gu Ye. In the past, he was a personal guard with a high status in the Lieweimen, but after the Lieweimen was removed from Rongzhou overnight, he started a new business and set up a gang to take care of the homes of others.
In Rongzhou, it is not a big or small figure.
Aunt Zhao is doing this kind of out-of-the-box business in Rongzhou, not only because of the relationship with the government, but also because of the heroes who can fight and kill on the ground. Both black and white are supported by someone for you, so that you can be like a fish in water, and you can make money every day.
Aunt Zhao and Gu Ye are said to have a very personal relationship, and the two of them had a leg many years ago. However, Gu Ye is now more powerful and has more silver, and he has lost interest in this yellow flower of yesterday. ”
It seems that Gu Ye is doing some big business this time, and he did not patronize Michun Building.
In the past, when hunting in the mountains, Hua Wuyan learned the tenacity and patience of a hunter. At that time, in order to catch the blue fox for Niuniu, he lay in the snow all night without moving the place, nor did he doze off, and stared at the mouth of the blue fox's cave for a day and a night before catching the cunning little guy.
Lou Xiucai told him that in addition to experience and skill, the most important thing in hunting is the process of competing for patience.
A patient hunter tends to have more catches than others.
Hua Wuyan knew this truth from wearing open crotch pants, so he was not in a hurry.
As soon as the day dawned, the girls and men in the building changed their usual schedules and got up early to get busy.
Hua Wuyan held a splendid broom, and asked while sweeping the floor: "Brother Fly, what day is today? Why do you get up so early?"
The girls in the building are all in their twenties, it is the age of sleepiness, if it is usual, I can't wait to sleep on the bed before I am willing to get up, today is not only the early strange, the makeup is also more colorful than usual, all of them draw eyebrows and sideburns, flowers and branches, and those who do not know think that they are collectively married today.
The fly was diligently wiping the tables and chairs, and when he heard him ask, he still replied with his usual smile: "It's no wonder I didn't mention it to you, today, it's our annual thank-you wine in the Spring Building, and since my mother opened the door, this thank-you wine is also thunderous every year." You'd better catch up on sleep in the afternoon, and you'll be busy in the evening. ”
"Thank you?" Hua Wuyan couldn't understand.
"My mother made a rule that when business is good, we must not forget the grace of the guests, and every year on this day, we must feast the magnates of the city, not only will the wine and water not be collected, but the sisters will also perform a dance to express their gratitude. The fly then explained.
"Oh......" Hua Wuyan understood.
Those old men don't drink inferior wine with a weak taste, and every time they come to order a famous wine that is famous all over the world, such as: Nanyu Huadiao, Xifeng Mianzhu, and Donghua Zhao Wine. These famous wines are worth a lot of money, just a pot costs five taels of silver, and how much does it cost to feast on the wine needed by the powerful people of the city?
"Won't you lose money?" Even if Hua Wuyan has never done business, he feels that this is a way to stabilize losses and not make money.
"How can I compensate?" the fly looked around and saw that everyone else was busy with their work, so he dared to whisper: "If the people at the banquet are poor people like us, we will definitely pay for it." The old men are all face-saving people, and they will covet your drink for nothing? Just the reward for the girls is several times more than usual. Coupled with the expenses of pulling shops and living in the bureau, just one day can be worth the silver earned in the usual ten days. ”
Hua Wuyan suddenly realized.
It turned out that Aunt Zhao sold not only skin, meat and wine, but also face.
Since he can be invited to drink the thank you wine, he must be a figure with a face in the city. They are quite familiar with each other, and they refuse to lose their identities when they get together. When you see someone else tipping, can you drink with a cheeky face? Someone else has rewarded fifty taels, are you embarrassed to give a reward of thirty taels?
If you really dare to do this, you will be slapping yourself in the face.
"Give the old lady a little bit of hands and feet, where the cleaning is not clean, don't blame the old lady for being unkind. If I get caught, hmph~!Go and lick the toilet for me!"
Aunt Zhao walked into the hall with her waist crossed, her words were mean and domineering.
Everyone was silent when they heard this, and hurriedly added a little real strength in their hands.
When Aunt Zhao saw Hua Wuyan, her eyes lit up.
This young man changed into a green coat and white socks, and looked chic and capable. Although he was only dressed in the same outfit as the guy in the building, it was much better than his previous rags.
Aunt Zhao raised her eyebrows, walked over, and said with a smile: "No smoke, what is the habit of living these days?"
"Returning to my sister, it is a hundred times stronger than the previous days of wandering, thank you sister for taking it in. Hua Wuyan bent down and thanked sincerely.
Aunt Zhao nodded with a smile, looked at the young man's cloth shoes with a few patches, couldn't help frowning again, and said coldly: "Why do you have clothes and no shoes, could it be that someone in the building made you a stumbling block?! Who bullied you and told my sister that it is light to pick up a few layers of his skin!"
"No, no!" Hua Wuyan hurriedly shook his hand and denied it, for fear of bringing unwarranted disasters to others, "My shoes are sewn by my relatives at home, and now the family is dead, and the prison is in prison, and I am left alone to live in the world." Although these shoes are broken, I am reluctant to throw them away, and I have a thought about them when I wear them on my feet, and I hope my sister will understand. ”
"Hey......" Aunt Zhao sighed lightly, remembering the miserable experience of her childhood, and muttered: "Wear it, you can wear it, they are all poor people who live hard......"
The lights are on.
The red lanterns of the Michun Building are hung high, reflecting the inside and outside of the building as if it were daytime.
Aunt Zhao personally went out to greet the guests, smiling. Because of the overly revealing dress, he also hit the salty pig hands of many hungry guests. However, for the sake of money, Aunt Zhao smiled and did not show anger. When I met someone familiar with him, I also waved my powder fist and scolded a few times, and I was charming.
After a short time, the guests came one after another, and the large hall was filled with water.
It was the first time Hua Wuyan encountered such a big battle, he was in a hurry, and he was even more anxious when he was paying attention to whether Gu Ye would come, either he had the wrong wine, or he had knocked down the embroidery pier, and he was severely reprimanded by the bad-tempered guest.
For these painless words, Hua Wuyan is accompanied by a low voice.
If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan.
The hall was full in less than half an hour, in order not to let the distinguished guests wait for a long time, Aunt Zhao gave an order, and the thank you wine officially began.
The lights faded out, leaving only a few thick red candles at the four corners of the table, draped in a layer of pink gauze on the outside, which looked even more hazy and ambiguous.
A heart-stirring flute sounded softly.
Countless delicate petals gently flutter between the pavilions, and the refreshing fragrance of flowers is intoxicating.
The women in the building came to the stage, the long sleeves danced, and the name of the first dance was Caiyi, and it was also one of the three major Oiran of the Spring Building.
The business in the hook bar is not so easy to do these days, not only to be beautiful, but also to be empathetic. Especially in the head of the hook column like Michun Building, most of the girls are proficient in music and rhythm, know poetry, and some of them are not even weaker than the Confucian scholars who have been admitted to the famous Confucianism.
The colorful clothes on the stage have been in the building for less than half a year, and their reputation is relatively insignificant, and they are the most outstanding dancers among the girls. Yingying's waist is weak and boneless, but she is full of strength, I am afraid that after tonight, the name of "Rongzhou's first waist" will fall on her head.
I don't know how Aunt Zhao will feel.
"It's delicious! The colorful clothes are mine tonight, don't rob me of them!" a fierce-looking guy pointed to the stage and shouted domineeringly.
Most of the distinguished guests knew this two hundred and five, and knew that he was a guy who carried his head and ate with his head. No one dares to provoke those who can't be provoked, and those who can afford to provoke will not fight with him for a woman in public.
The fierce-looking guy was even more proud when he saw that no one was robbing him.
At this time, the sound of the flute suddenly turned urgent, and the women took their right feet as the axis, lightly stretched their long sleeves, and their delicate bodies rotated with them, turning faster and faster.
Suddenly it flew up from the ground, and then formed a circle, waving its jade hand, dozens of blue ribbons flew out lightly, and there seemed to be blue waves in the hall.
"Good!"
"What a feast for the eyes!"
"This waist, tsk......"
When the guests saw the subtleties, they praised them one after another, and many people who were anxious began to give rewards.
Flies and other guys register while cashiering:
"Drunken Immortal Lou Boss Du will reward ten taels of silver!"
"Thank you for catching the head and rewarding fifteen taels of silver!"
The sound came and went, and the price continued to rise, as the fly took a sentence handed over by Li Shanren, the sound of the ground could be heard in the whole building: "Li Shanren Master Li will reward one hundred taels of silver!"
One hundred taels, enough to buy a few handsome maidservants!
Everyone kept clasping their fists at Li Shanren, and secretly sighed that he was worthy of being the leading rich man in the city, and he was so generous when he came to Qinglou.
Hua Wuyan hid in a remote corner, constantly observing whether there was Gu Ye in the crowd.
It's a pity that it backfired, and until the end of the thanksgiving wine, Gu Ye's whereabouts were not discovered.
But Hua Wuyan has gained a lot of knowledge today.
The girls in the building kept shuttling through the various wings, and the faces of the guests were different.
If you like to listen to flattery, say some flattering words.
If you like cold beauties, you will pretend to be ice and jade.
If you are not honest with your hands and feet, you want to refuse and pretend to be like, and in the end you still let people do it.
All of them are masters who understand people's hearts.
coaxed a group of powerful people to be happy, and the girls' own purses were also full.
The world is full of strange things.
When the blacksmith strikes iron for a long time, he will shoot the hammer blindfolded.
If the wine seller sells it for a long time, he can scoop it up without any difference.
The meat seller has been selling for a long time, and he can go down with a knife, and two catties are just right.
The girls play on the spot, and they have the same reason.
This is not called deception, this is called craftsmanship.
