Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Secret Behind the Dream of the Waves

Bi Yuntao looked at the lady official in front of him and talked about court etiquette endlessly, since the last time the concubine returned to the palace from her mansion, she took a lady official to teach her etiquette.

The lady has been talking for more than an hour, really, going to school is just like that.

"Big brother!" Bi Yuntao heard the voice, his face was overjoyed, and he finally saw the savior!

Meng Rulang strode over, ignoring the lady officials on the side, and squeezed his eyebrows at Bi Yuntao, "Big brother, how was yesterday?" ”

Bi Yuntao blinked quickly at Meng Ruolang a few times, "Ahem!" If you are a wave, be cautious, you should bow down first. ”

Meng Ruolang was full of black lines, "Big brother, why do you have such big dark circles under your eyes, it can't be that the second daughter of the royal family last night caused the loss of yang deficiency, right?!" ”

Before Bi Yuntao could speak, the lady on the side spoke. "Master Meng, please be cautious, I am honoring the order of the imperial concubine and teaching the court etiquette of King Qi."

"Huh! What are you? When my son talks to King Qi, you can only interject as a slave?! Meng Ruolang saw that he was interrupted by a subordinate, and his face was full of displeasure.

"You! Meng Gongzi, please be respectful, but I was ordered by the imperial concubine to come to teach the king of Qi court etiquette. If you are so presumptuous, I will go to the imperial concubine and accuse you of the crime of great disrespect. The lady officer angrily stretched out her hand and pointed at Meng Ruolang at this time, her face was flushed, and she trembled.

Meng Ruolang looked disdainful, "Then you go!" I want to see if the imperial concubine offended my son for you, or did she punish you for the crime of disrespect?! ”

"Then I have to ask Meng Gongzi to talk about it, where is the slave disrespectful?!"

"Hahaha! Just like you, you still teach the court etiquette of the King of Qi?! If you want to say disrespectful, then let Ben Gongzi talk to you carefully. ”

"Seeing that this son does not take the initiative to salute, this is one of them; When the masters talk to each other, there is no important matter and cannot be disturbed, this is the second; Let's talk about the third one...... Meng Ruolang paused, his tone slightly cold, "Have you ever seen that slave dare to point at his master's nose and speak?!" ”

The lady was speechless by Meng Ruolang's words for a while, her face was red and her ears were red, and her whole body trembled.

Bi Yuntao saw that the fire was almost over, and he had seen enough of the show, it was time to come out and pull the shelf. "Okay, Ruolang, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, how can I say that she was also sent by the mother, so I still have to be patient."

After speaking, he saluted Meng Ruolang and apologized, "Ruolang, don't be like her as a dog minion, it's easy to lower your status." I'm going to send someone to tell my mother and ask her to discipline this dog slave well, because if this continues, sooner or later something bad will happen. ”

"And you, this dog minion, usually rely on the mother concubine to do mischief in the palace, that's all, when you come to the palace, you are so arrogant, why don't you hurry up and apologize to Meng Gongzi?!"

The lady was bitten by Bi Yuntao who opened his mouth for a dog slave and closed his mouth for a dog slave who was short of breath, and then heard that he was going to apologize for himself, so he spit out a mouthful of blood and fainted.

Bi Yuntao and Meng Ruolang looked at each other, "This dog slave is quite temperamental!" I fainted like this, it was really cheap for her, she tortured me for more than an hour. ”

"By the way, Ruolang, follow me to the study, I have something to tell you!"

……

In the study, Bi Yuntao looked at Meng Ruolang who was drinking tea opposite.

"Ruolang, you are playing your real waves! The big gift prepared is really big! As soon as Bi Yuntao saw Meng Ruolang honestly drinking tea, he didn't come anywhere.

"yes, I guess yesterday must have been ...... Isn't it wonderful! Meng Ruolang raised his eyebrows, revealing a smile that could only be understood.

"Smack!" Bi Yuntao looked at the smile on Meng Ruolang's face, and held the folding fan with a violent shudder, "Wonderful fart!" I was almost killed by you, now it's okay, Sister Xue won't pay attention to me in the future! ”

Meng Rulang was in pain, but he was still a little surprised by Bi Yuntao's words, "How come?" Shouldn't you be drunk and die in a dream?! ”

"It's not all because of you, next time you're doing this kind of thing, can you get more drugs, as soon as I entered the house, Sister Xue woke up, and my mother was also in the house last night, so you can only go to the cemetery to see me."

"Forehead......" Meng Ruolang was suddenly speechless, his eyes dodging, "Then I'm going to get the big gift tonight, and this time I must get enough of the drug." ”

Hearing that Meng Ruolang was going tonight, he hurriedly stopped Meng Ruolang. "Don't! Ruolang, count me as a brother and beg you, this kind of thing will not be my request in the future, don't do it again in the future, I just coaxed Sister Xue this morning, there was still a glimmer of life, if you go again tonight, then I will really have no bones. ”

"Alright, that's it! Yesterday the gambling house won a lot of silver, and it happened that we split it. So saying, he took out a package containing silver from the storage ring.

When Meng Ruolang heard that he was going to share the spoils, his eyes, which were originally a little gloomy, suddenly lit up, "Okay! Big brother, how do we divide it? ”

"These silver taels are almost 400,000 taels, just right, five or five cents, 200,000 taels per person, and the rest of the jade pendant gems, you are welcome to be a brother, I want it." The package was spread out, and it was full of shiny silver and jade gemstones.

Meng Ruolang saw that his eldest brother was so generous, and hurriedly shirked it, "Big brother, these are basically all won by you, I want to achieve a good achievement, and one achievement is enough for me to play for a long time." Besides, I see that the eldest brother has been straining all the time, and he only has fifty taels of silver, so I think the imperial concubine deliberately compressed your money. ”

"Hey! If you didn't take me to the gambling house, how could there be such a good thing?! You have no merit and still toil. Bi Yuntao persuaded.

"Okay, but fifty percent is still too much, so I'll want twenty percent." Meng Rulang saw that Bi Yuntao was going to excuse himself, and hurriedly said again: "Big brother, if you don't agree, you will look down on me, and we will be strangers from now on." ”

"Forehead......" looked at Meng Ruolang with a serious face, and said helplessly: "Okay, then I won't be hypocritical about the big brother, I'll give you two percent." ”

After the two finished dividing the spoils, Meng Ruolang said: "Big brother, since we all have silver in our hands, why don't we go and have some fun?" ”

"Fun? What's the fun? Could it be ......" Bi Yuntao was a little confused when he heard this, and when he saw Meng Ruolang's obscene smile again, he immediately understood.

"Yes! To go or not to go? There happened to be a flower boat today, and I heard from the next person, and the Oiran of Jinling City came to help. When it came to Oiran Meng Ruolang's face, the lewd expression on his face was even worse, and even Bi Yuntao saw a glimmer of liquid at the corner of his mouth.

"As for it? Isn't it just an Oiran? There are more beauties in the capital, how beautiful can a person from a small city be? Bi Yuntao expressed his disdain, a woman in a green building, no matter how good-looking she looks, what tricks can she have, how many Li Shishi and how many Liang Hongyu are in this world? !

"Hey! Jinling is not a small city, second only to the capital. And you don't understand it, big brother, since ancient times, Jinling City has been rich in beauties, have you heard of the thirteen hairpins of Jinling? That is the former dynasty Jinling City came out, although in the end it was more miserable, but they are all genuine beauties. Meng Rulang saw his eldest brother with a disdainful face, and hurriedly explained. Let's just say that this Oiran who helps, I heard that it is the number one beauty in Jinling City, and everyone who wants to see has to spend a lot of money, and it is said that he is still a Qing man, he likes poetry and songs, and if he wants to see a face, it is not enough to have money, but also to have real talent and learning, and he must win her in any one of the poems and songs. ”

"Cut! Qing Qi people, it's nothing more than selling her art and not selling her body, that's still not enough money, if she smashes tens of millions of taels of silver, I don't believe she doesn't open her legs?! Bi Yuntao was even more disdainful, when he was undercover before, it was not that he had never seen such a showman, but as a result, the man threw money at once, and the person who smashed it fainted, and he didn't do it happily.

"Forehead......" Meng Ruolang scratched his head, feeling that what the eldest brother said seemed to make some sense, tens of millions of taels of silver, and the taxes that were as rich as Jinling were so much, and the treasury was only ten thousand taels of silver.

"What the eldest brother said is indeed reasonable, but tens of millions of taels of silver can only be matched by a woman with a good look! In my opinion, it is only a million taels of silver at most. ”

Bi Yuntao glanced at him suspiciously, "A million taels of silver is a lot, are the people over there in Jinling so rich?" ”

"Big brother, don't you know, there are more merchants in Jinling, and there are even a few imperial merchants over there, so most of the people over there are relatively wealthy."

"Oh? Why are there more traders over there? Bi Yuntao felt that the question he asked was a bit stupid, and hurriedly added again: "Big brother, I rarely travel far away, so I don't cause much. ”

Meng Ruolang took a sip of tea, and said unhurriedly: "Jinling is close to the Yangtze River, the transportation is developed, Jinling to the capital by waterway only takes a few days, the local goods are mostly silk cloth, of course, there are also tea and horses, most of the official salt we eat comes from Jinling, and there is even a silver casting field there, as far as I know, there are two imperial merchants there, one is the official salt, and the last one is naturally the silver casting of their family." ”

"Why do you know so much? Have you ever been to Jinling? I remember that the household department was in charge of the imperial merchants! ”

"Hey! I haven't been there either, this is all what my master told me, and my master is from Jinling City. ”

"Uh...... Your Master? I've wanted to ask for a long time, why do you know martial arts, and martial arts are so good. And it's as if you know everything, and since your sister's affair, you seem to have always trusted me. Bi Yuntao finally asked the doubts he had always had in his heart.

Meng Ruolang shook off the folding fan with a "snap", smiled without saying a word, and motioned to Bi Yuntao to pour tea for himself with his eyes.

Bi Yuntao had no choice but to get up and pour tea for him personally. "Can you say that now?!"

"Humph! Really want to know? ”

"It's over, isn't it?!"

"Hehe, I've been learning martial arts from my master since I was a child, and I only returned home in the past few years, as for why I have always trusted my eldest brother...... "Meng Ruolang snapped and closed the folding fan, "and listen to the next decomposition......"

"I'll you!" As soon as the words fell, Bi Yuntao raised his big foot and kicked over.

Meng Ruolang's body turned slightly, turned around to dodge, and said with a smile: "I can't say it now, you will know then, maybe you can see my master at that time, let me tell you, my master is a great beauty, every time my master comes to my house, my mother is like a thief." ”

Bi Yuntao heard the beauty, withdrew the foot he was about to kick out, and looked at Meng Ruolang with a red face, his eyes flashed green, "How beautiful?" Is your sister beautiful? ”

"Uh...... I don't know ...... either" Meng Ruolang was a little embarrassed when he saw his eldest brother asking, although he had been learning martial arts by his master's side since he was a child, he really hadn't seen his master's true face.

"Fuck you!" Bi Yuntao grabbed the teacup on the table and smashed it. I'm so angry! This bastard didn't find out that he was so appetizing.

"Oops! Big brother, listen to my explanation, I really haven't seen Master's true face! Meng Ruolang hurriedly dodged and hurriedly explained.

"You're a liar?! You have been learning martial arts with your master since you were a child, and you say that you have never seen it, who do you ask who believes it?! The sound fell, grabbed a teacup again, and raised his hand to smash it towards Meng Ruolang.

"Big brother, you put it down first, listen to my explanation, I have nothing to do to lie to you?!"

Bi Yuntao thought about it, put down the teacup in his hand, sat down, crossed Erlang's legs, looked at Meng Ruolang with scrutinizing eyes, and gritted his teeth and said: "Then I want to see, how do you explain!" ”

"Hey, hey, hey! I really haven't seen Master's true face, Master wears a veil every time, and only comes back once in a while to check my martial arts progress, even if I don't go out, I also wear a veil, and I specifically asked Master this question, and she said it's not time yet. ”

"Then how do you know that your master is a beauty? Maybe it's unsightly?! Bi Yuntao's face was a little unhappy, who can accept this explanation!

Meng Ruolang was a little unhappy when he heard this, the expression of the hippie smile was a little more restrained, and his tone was a little heavier, "Big brother, although you are my beloved big brother, you can't slander my master like this!" ”

Bi Yuntao also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I apologize, it's because I didn't choose what I said." Seeing that Meng Ruolang's face softened a little, he asked again: "I really don't choose what to say, but how can you judge that your master is a great beauty?" You haven't seen your master's true face! ”

"Hey, hey, it must be a big beauty, I was naughty when I was a child, once my master was injured, I ran to peek and saw the master's side face, but as soon as I lifted a little veil, I was discovered by the master and was punished for copying the door rules three hundred times. However, my sister's cold personality was learned from my master, and my master's figure is ...... Lordosis and posterior upturn. ”

"So, Ruoxi has seen your master's true face?" Bi Yuntao was a little surprised, this cold master actually punished Meng Ruolang for copying the door rules three hundred times, which was child abuse. I didn't expect Meng Ruoxi to be cold, and her character of not asking about the world was actually taught by Master Meng Ruolang.

"Uh...... It doesn't seem to be, although the master dotes on my sister more, and my sister also asked the master why she always wears a veil, but the master only said that the measure of a woman's beauty is not only her appearance, but also her temperament and conduct, so my sister learned from Master's cold character. "Saying this, he pursed his lips, and there was a little acetate in his words." Master is partial, obviously my sister and I are her apprentices, but in the end, she is only close to her sister, and there are many things that are only taught to my sister, but only teach me martial arts. ”

"Humph! It's not that you're as as I am. It's only been a few years, and the Qinglou Flower Boat has been visited by you! Bi Yuntao rolled his eyes.

"Hey, hey, big brother, are you interested in going and seeing?" Meng Ruolang squeezed his eyebrows again.

"It's okay to go and see it, but all of our net worth combined is estimated to be enough to see the true face of the Oiran." Bi Yuntao was a little depressed, he thought that he had won a huge amount of money, but who would have thought that he was still poor, and he was not even a nouveau riche.

When Meng Ruolang heard this, he was also a little depressed and regretful, "That's what I said, why don't you go?" "I want to go but I don't want to go, it's really tangled!

"Go, you have to go, just go and see the Qing man who needs to be as rich as a million taels of silver to see him!"

(During the Song Dynasty, the tax revenue of the Northern Song Dynasty was as high as 160 million silver, and the tax revenue of the Southern Song Dynasty, which had shrunk significantly, was not less than 100 million.) ）
