Gao Zi walked out of the gate of the Li Mansion, and didn't go far when he met Gao Yunran and Yan'er, who came out to inspect various parts of the Li Mansion.

"Wan Ning she-"

Gao Yunran was interrupted by this arrogant nephew: "Auntie, we're fine." ”

"You boy, you have the same temper as your father. I mean, Wanning is all about you, and you can't make her sad. ”

Gao Ziang paused for a moment, listened to his aunt's words, didn't say a word, and walked away.

Gao Yunran looked at his back and complained to Yan'er: "Look, this temper is stubborn, and no one can pull it back." ”

Yan'er also looked at the young master helplessly.

"Let's go in and take a look at Wanning." Gao Yunran said.

"Okay."

Wan Ning sat in her chair, her thoughts racing. As soon as he saw them come in, he threw himself into Gao Yunran's arms and cried.

"Alas, it's fine in front of Ziang. Girl, let's stop crying. ”

Wan Ning didn't say until her mood eased a little, "Auntie, what should I do?" ”

"Ziang, he loves you, so he is so angry. Auntie, I believe that Wan Ning will never do anything to disgrace herself, as for saying that he is angry, just wait and see. ”

"Miss, you might as well consider the young master's proposal. It is only right to get out of the palace as soon as possible and marry into the Gao family. ”

Wan Ning looked up, with a puzzled expression: "How do you know what he said?" ”

"I heard Aunt Gao say that the young master came early in the morning, and what he said was his plan."

"You don't know, I mentioned to the emperor to leave the palace, but the emperor didn't agree. I had no choice but to follow the emperor's wishes and talk about it after a while. ”

In fact, regarding Wanning's plan to leave the palace at this time, Gao Yunran's attitude has always been hesitant. She not only wants her husband to clear her name, but also wants Wanning to have no problems with Ziang's relationship.

"Wanning, if you do things for your husband, I won't stop you. We also want to ease your knots. ”

"You have always asked me to marry into the Gao family, but do I really want to be his concubine?" Wan Ning questioned again.

"Didn't the young master say that when you enter the mansion, you will try to correct you? And now the slave also believes that he will promise the young lady that he will not take a concubine, and that he will never take a concubine again. ”

"Do you think it's just a joy when you see the chaff? He refused to divorce his wife just because he cared about the reputation of the Gao family, why did he have to care so much about the eyes of others? When my father was dying, he told me plainly that it was better to be a concubine of a big family than to be the wife of an ordinary man. ”

"Miss, you have already promised the young master, how can you waver? The young master knew that he would be sad. ”

"I'm not wavering. Maybe he will promise not to take a concubine again, but whether to accept a concubine is not only a matter for me and him, but a matter for the entire Gao family. He is the only son of the Gao family, and I have been biting to the death that I am not allowed to take a concubine, at that time, I am afraid that I will also be called a 'jealous woman'. The bigger the family, the more they value the prosperity of their descendants, and if they come to one or two concubines, they are completely equal to my status, what am I at that time? disappeared in the torrent of his wives and concubines. It is only now that I realize my father's good intentions. ”

Yan'er felt that even if the young lady really became the young master's concubine at this time, in the young master's heart, she was definitely not an ordinary concubine. I want to persuade her again.

Unexpectedly, Wan Ning shook her head: "Forget it, I'm already very annoyed, I don't want to do this." ”

"And what does the young lady want to do now?"

"I don't know what to do anymore. Let's calm down for a few days. I hope that the emperor will no longer stay in the side hall so easily as before, and I also hope that Brother Ziang's anger will disappear as soon as possible, and he can regain the sweet feeling he used to have.

Gao Ziang, who returned to Gaofu, let a group of mosquitoes amuse him in the room. The room was full of smoke, and I was still irritable. After playing for a while, I called Shangyi'er and planned to go to a lively place.

He thought of finding a place to drink again, and his favorite place was of course the small restaurant where he met Wang Pinhong a few times. Although the environment is a little worse, people come and go, and it is more lively.

Of course, he also knows that further inside these places is Flower Street Willow Lane. The last time I was able to meet that bamboo yun, it was definitely not accidental.

These streets are laid out radiating from the inside out.

The inner three floors are the song building dance pavilion.

The central location is naturally upper-class, and Qinfang Pavilion is one of the few that is one of the few families. Many of the girls were originally daughters of big families, and their families were unable to fall into disgrace. Good looks, versatile, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry, song and dance, is a cash cow that has been cultivated and supported by great efforts.

Rich children such as Wang Pinhong and others naturally come to these places.

Extending outwards is a gathering place for literati and artists, where the girls do not have to sell their bodies, but they are all full of poetry and books, and they are full of talent, seeking spiritual pleasure and solace for each other, and enriching their originally empty and turbulent souls.

And then outward, the skin and meat business.

The outermost area is the most common restaurant and teahouse.

From the inside out, there is a scene of singing and dancing, and the backstage bosses are either rich or expensive, and it is difficult to support them alone, which will inevitably lead to collusion of interests.

At this time, Gao Ziang and Yi'er stopped at the outermost restaurant. I ordered a few pots of wine, drank them one by one, and looked at the people around me from time to time. He wanted to ask Yi'er to drink a few drinks with him, but Yi'er's identity couldn't drink with him, this was outside, and he couldn't ignore it, so he had to drink it himself.

After drinking for a while, Wang Pinhong unexpectedly reappeared, this time with Xu Hexuan. The two sat down next to Gao Ziang, who was drinking alcohol.

Looking at his appearance, Wang Pinhong said: "Give up, brother, she will be the emperor's woman sooner or later, do you really want to rob the emperor of a woman?" Look at your brother and me, beautiful wives and concubines, how happy! How is it like you who are miserable all day long? Life is happy and happy, the last time I saw you, it was haunting and heartbeating! As he spoke, he pointed not far away, "Look at so many flower-like girls over there!" What do you think? When a man is in a bad mood, he sees a bunch of girls who are like flowers and jade, and he can still be in a bad mood, then it's really called hell. ”

Gao Ziang seemed to be a little disdainful: "I know you have a deep understanding." ”

In Wang Pinhong's opinion, he acquiesced, and beckoned to the girls not far away. In an instant, a few girls came over to hook their shoulders and backs, and the group entered Qinfang Pavilion.

The bustard and a few girls greeted her. Wang Pinhong said: "Serve our young masters well." As he spoke, he threw out a minot.

Bustard smiled and took the money.

"It's been served, it's a lot!"

"Hey!" The bustard replied happily, "This man, don't look at the appearance of people on weekdays, who hasn't been decadent?" ”

Wang Pinhong commanded: "Young Master Gao is in a bad mood today, serve well, serve happily, I have another reward." ”

"Young Master, don't worry."
