Night falls as the lights come on. (Please search for the fastest novel website!) The bright moon hangs high in the sky, like a silver plate, and the afterglow shines on the earth.
The Baihualou on the riverside is lit up early, and the most prosperous and lively moment of the day is coming. Visitors from all over the world continue to enter this gold cave. Before punctuality, the lobby was already full.
In front of the lobby, a color platform was erected. The flowers on the stage are spread on the ground, and the joy is fluttering, a magnificent scene. In the empty space under the stage, there are tables full of tables at the moment, and visitors from all over the world are all sitting around the table.
If you look closely, there are at least a few hundred people in the lobby. They were all richly dressed, dressed in gold and silver, and obviously came to the house of the rich and proud.
The bustling voices are noisy and chaotic, and they seem to be very lively. The business is so hot, Du Sanniang, who is the owner of Baihualou, is not very satisfied. She stood at the door, greeted the guests with her signature smile, and when she ushered the guests into the hall, when she turned back, she would pout her scarlet mouth, and scolded in her heart, and there was a poor grandson who loved to show off!
The Oiran is listed and combed, which is the annual event of Baihualou, and it is also an opportunity for Du Sanniang to collect wealth and treasures. This kind of thing is not very common, it is held once a year, and if you are lucky, it is enough to be worth a year's income of Baihualou.
What made Du Sanniang unhappy was that although there were a lot of visitors to this year's Oiran Conference, they were all small households, and there was no real luxury guest. It stands to reason that the Oiran magnolia that was combed this time is her favorite heart and liver baby. His face is beautiful, elegant and unparalleled, and there are countless admirers under the skirt. But for some reason, there are very few distinguished guests who come to the party today!
Distinguished guests don't come to the door, just those poor grandsons who are small and childish, and the income they can bring to Baihualou is really limited. If you don't get it right, you may have to lose money. It is necessary to know that to cultivate an Oiran, the investment in Baihualou is also huge, providing brocade clothes and food, and inviting people to teach piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which costs a lot of money.
When Du Sanniang thought of this, she was depressed and panicked. Just when she has nowhere to vent her fire, a guy who doesn't have long eyes is still dangling in front of her eyes, which is really hateful.
"You old killer, don't you go to greet guests and be lazy here, do you want to take the old lady's salary for nothing!"
She pointed at the guy's nose and yelled. The guy was a little old, his face was wrinkled, and he looked like he was fifty or sixty years old. After he was scolded by Du Sanniang, he bent his waist and said a few words in his mouth, and then retreated.
"If you hadn't seen it as an acquaintance, my mother would have told you to get out of here!"
Du Sanniang's anger did not subside, and she cursed a few more words angrily before walking towards the gate. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, she quickly stepped over the threshold, and shouted in an extremely exaggerated tone: "Yo, isn't this Young Master Huo......"
A group of dozens of people walked towards Baihualou. The first young man in white was Huo Xuan.
Du Sanniang hurriedly greeted her, her face was full of joy, and she sneered: "The slave family was still talking just now, Yulan, this little girl is listed and combed, how could Young Master Huo not come to cheer...... Hehe, if that little girl sees Young Master Huo later, her heart will definitely bloom......"
When this old bustard saw Huo Xuan coming at this moment, it was like seeing the God of Wealth, and he couldn't stop smiling. She is a lot older, and she still applies a thick layer of foundation on her face, and without saying a word, the foundation on her face falls in a row, and she has lost half a tael, which looks quite spectacular.
Huo Xuan smiled slightly. Li Hao, who was standing beside him, waved his hand and said to Du Sanniang: "You old lady just talk a lot, my young master is here today for the Oiran, but I don't listen to you chattering here." ”
"Master Li, look at what you say, it's really funny!" Du Sanniang covered her mouth and chuckled, and threw a wink at Li Hao. The latter trembled when he saw this, and he couldn't wait to slap this disgusting old lady away.
"Master Huo, Master Li, distinguished guests, please come in!"
When Du Sanniang was about to lead everyone into the building, Huo Xuan glanced at her and said in a light tone: "Boss, this young master doesn't like to beat around the bush when he speaks, you make a price, I want to redeem Yulan." ”
Oiran like Magnolia is a Qingqi person from Baihualou, who only accompanies wine and performs arts, not sells himself. When it comes to the day of the listing, the guests from all over the world will throw a thousand dollars, and the bidding is only the first night of the Oiran, and the capital of the night will be happy.
Huo Xuan didn't want to trouble, and planned to discuss with the old bustard outside the door and directly redeem Yulan. Du Sanniang was overjoyed when she heard this, but she had an embarrassed expression on her face, and snorted: "This ...... Young Master Huo must also know that the slave family's favorite is Yulan, and the slave family has spent a lot of effort on this little girl......
"Don't be verbose, just make a bid!"
Before the old bustard finished speaking, Ah Tie, who was standing behind Huo Xuan, took a step forward, and his tower-like body stood in front of the bustard, and the urn sound was authentic.
"Ten... 100,000 taels of purple gold!"
Du Sanniang didn't dare to be hypocritical, and immediately offered this price. She was a little apprehensive in her heart, the three Oirans who were as famous as Magnolia in the early years, and the peony with the highest redemption value was only 50,000 taels of purple gold. Now if she didn't know the character of Huo Dashao in front of her, and the news that the Huo family had made a lot of money in recent days, she wouldn't dare to offer such a sky-high price.
"Ah Tie, give it to her!"
Huo Xuan didn't hesitate for half a minute, then nodded in agreement. Ah Tie immediately took out a banknote and handed it to Du Sanniang, "This is a hundred thousand taels of gold tickets printed by the Four Seas Commercial Bank, you have collected it." ”
The Four Seas Trading House was the largest trading house in the Great Qin Dynasty, and its business transactions spread all over the land of Kyushu. The golden ticket of the Qian Zhuang under its jurisdiction can be used in any city within the territory of the Dynasty, and it can also be exchanged for a sufficient amount of purple gold in any Qian Bank.
Huo Xuan invested a lot of money in the competition of life and death, and as a result, he won hundreds of thousands of taels of purple gold, all of which were exchanged for the golden tickets of the Four Seas Commercial Bank. At this moment, the banknote that Ah Tie took out was a golden ticket worth 100,000 taels of purple gold.
After Du Sanniang took it, she glanced at it, confirmed that it was correct, and immediately smiled brighter than a spring flower, and carefully put away the golden ticket.
"Young Master Huo, Yulan's deed of sale will be presented to the slave family later. You and your lords invite you to sit inside, good wine and good food, all the expenses tonight are counted on the slave family!" Du Sanniang is rare to be generous, in fact, she has earned tens of thousands of taels of purple gold from Huo Xuan, and she should be treated.
"Hmm. Huo Xuan nodded. He knew in his heart that although he had redeemed himself for Yulan, according to the rules of the Land of Wind and Moon, this Oiran Conference would continue to be held, which could be regarded as a formality. When the bustard comes out and announces, it's over.
Under the guidance of Du Sanniang, Huo Xuan and the others entered the Baihua Building and were arranged in the VIP seats near the color platform. As soon as they sat down, a man served them good food and wine.
"Old girl, don't forget to arrange a few girls!"
Li Hao yelled at Du Sanniang. The latter threw a wink, stretched his voice, and said coquettishly: "The girl will be there soon!"
The prestige of the Huo family, as well as Li Hao, the former commander of the city guards, are all very famous figures in Lijiang City. Since they arrived, the guests all around them have cast all kinds of complicated glances. Some people secretly exclaimed in their hearts, looking at the posture of the Huo family, they wanted to kiss Oiran Fangze tonight, but it was impossible.
Du Sanniang was extremely efficient, and soon arranged for more than a dozen beautiful girls to come to accompany the wine and have fun. On this occasion, although Huo Xuan has not touched it for three years, he is familiar with driving lightly and will not be a little restrained. Li Hao is a veteran in this, holding the beautiful girl beside him into his arms, grinding his ears and temples, and enjoying himself.
"Hey, Seventh, where are you going?"
"I, I'm in a hurry, go to the thatched house!"
"This kid!"
On the side, Miao Jiang suddenly stood up and left the table and walked towards the outside of the lobby. Huo Xuan's fifth senior brother Peng Yang asked when he saw it, and after getting a response, he laughed. The others didn't care, including Huo Xuan.
Clang!
Not long after Miao Jiang left the table, the crisp sound of gongs came from Caicaitai. Suddenly, the eyes of hundreds of guests in the audience were all attracted to the past.
"The auspicious time has come, and the Oiran has appeared!"
Du Sanniang, the owner of Baihualou, stood on the color platform, ripped off her broken gong voice, and shouted loudly.
Boom!
There was a muffled sound. But I saw that the red hydrangea hanging high at the top of the color platform suddenly bloomed, and countless rose petals were sprinkled in the air, colorful and gorgeous, and the fragrance was fragrant.
A graceful and colorful figure, looming in the petals, greeted the eyes of the guests.
"This opening is a bit novel!" Li Hao said to Huo Xuan with a smile.
Huo Xuan smiled and nodded. He hasn't seen him for several years, but he has a little hope, he wants to see what the beautiful and youthful little Nizi has become now!
When everyone's eyes were attracted by the faint shadow of the petals in the rain on the color platform, a group of people held a wooden plate and walked slowly towards the seat where Huo Xuan and the others were from the remote corner on the right.
This guy seems to be the old guy who was scolded by Du Sanniang as an 'old killer'. At this moment, his eyes revealed a vicious snake-like fierce gaze, staring at Huo Xuan, approaching step by step......
