Chapter 192 Ten Thousand Taels of Gold

Mu Chen left Bai Pianpian's boat, but found that the old bustard was actually guarding outside, and seemed relieved to see Mu Chen come out so quickly, after seeing that Mu Chen had no displeasure on his face, his face was even more relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face, "Childe, Pian Pian has just come out of the pavilion, and if you don't take care of it, you still want Gongzi Haihan." Otherwise, the old man will arrange two young and beautiful girls for you?"

Bai Pianpian just came out of the cabinet today, and the so-called guest who entered the curtain is just a gimmick. After raising it for more than ten years, how could it be that this so-called Mu Gongzi picked the fruit all at once today? A Qing man like Bai Pianpian, who is both beautiful and artistic, and who also has a background in his identity, must at least be on fire for several years under the arrangement of a brothel, and he will only give up after a lot of money in the pockets of the rich people in the imperial city. If you don't pay a thousand taels of gold, if you want to get Bai Pianpian's first night right, don't even think about it. Therefore, even if it wasn't for Bai Pianpian to chase away the guests, after a while, the old bustard would go in and ask Mu Chen to leave.

In the boat. After Mu Chen left, the maid looked at Bai Pianpian worriedly, her lips twitched twice, and she didn't make a sound when she was drunk.

The maid's name is Xiaoqing. She was the daughter of the Bai family's housekeeper back then, and she was the same age as Bai Pianpian. Because of the disaster of the Eight Gates, all the female dependents of the Eight Great Families were demoted to lowly status, so Xiaoqing and Bai Pianpian were taken to Qingxiangfang when they were five years old. The two can be said to depend on each other.

After Mu Chen left, Bai Pianpian sat for a while, and then the hand under the table stretched out, and the scissors that he was holding tightly in his hand couldn't hold it anymore and fell on the table. A teardrop slipped out of his eyes, and the cold appearance just now was gone, revealing his true self.

After a long time, Bai Pianpian wiped away the tears on her cheeks and revealed a poignant smile, "It seems that I can survive for a few days." ”

"Miss!"

Xiaoqing cried and shouted, fell into Bai Pianpian's arms, and hugged her tightly, "Why are you so troubled." We have fallen into this, so why should we kill ourselves? ”

Bai Pianpian shook her head firmly, "Xiaoqing, you don't understand. The people of my Bai family, even if their family is ruined now, they will never be reduced to the point of selling jokes and becoming prostitutes. Even if you die, you must keep your innocence. I don't want to live, but if I lose my innocence, I'd rather die! Moreover, we are officially demoted to untouchables, and once we enter the pariahs, there will be no day to get out. Rather than suffering and not dying well, it is better to leave with a clean body. ”

"Miss, it's been more than ten years, haven't you seen it yet?"

"How can you see it?" Bai Pianpian sighed lightly, "Xiaoqing, you have been with me all these years, and you have also suffered you, I am sorry for you and I can save my innocence now, but the brothel is just to raise my value." Maybe in a few days, I'll be forced to pick up customers, I'm dead, if you can find a good family, let him take you away. If you can't, take it with you in the fragrance boat, and after a few years, maybe you can find a way out."

"Miss, I can't bear you" Xiaoqing cried with tears in her eyes, and in her lowered eyes, her eyes were nervous

Return to the hotel. Li Yang Bole and the others were drinking tea, and when they saw Mu Chen coming back so soon, they were all stunned, "Brother Mu, why did you come back so soon?

Bole said, his eyes glanced up and down at Mu Chen suspiciously. When he came to the latter's side, he squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Brother, if you want me to say, if you are sick, you must treat it as soon as possible, don't be embarrassed! I heard that there is an old doctor in Dongsan Hutong, do you want to take you to see it?"

Mu Chen smiled bitterly, "Where are you here, I went to the girl's boudoir, and I didn't say a word, and she sent the guest out." ”

Li Yang nodded and said with a smile, "Brother Mu doesn't have to be discouraged. It's just a method that brothels use. We'll go back tomorrow. ”

Mu Chen thought for a moment and asked, "Brother Li, I want to take Bai Pianpian away, how can I do it?"

Hearing Mu Chen's words, Li Yang was stunned. Originally, he only thought that Mu Chen wanted to kiss Fang Ze, but now it seems that he is really moving?

"Brother Mu, do you really have a crush on that Bai Pianpian?" Li Yang's face was a little more serious, and then he said with a straight face.

Mu Chen hesitated, and it was hard to say that he felt pity because everyone was an orphan of the Eight Great Families, so he had to respond vaguely.

Fortunately, Li Yang didn't ask much, frowned and thought about it, and said, "This is a little difficult." Generally speaking, the fate of a woman in the dust is either to be good, to be a bustard, or to become a nun. However, although Bai Pianpian was a descendant of the eight great families back then, he was demoted to a lowly status and could never turn over. If you are genuinely interested in her, then settle the issue of her identity and redeem her before she can take the customer. ”

Mu Chen asked, "Then the most important thing is to ask for identity and silver?"

Li Yang nodded, "That's pretty much it." But each of these two is not easy to solve. The first is the issue of identity. The disaster of the Eight Gates was a big problem that shocked the whole country back then. It is also the will of the emperor to demote the daughters of the eight great families to lowly status and become prostitutes for generations, and under normal circumstances, it is impossible for Bai Pianpian to be good even if he wants to. Therefore, her identity must be corrected first. However, fortunately, it has been many years since the death of the former emperor, and it has been more than ten years since the disaster of the Eight Gates, and some of the turmoil has long since dissipated. If you do it well, it's still possible. ”

"However, even if it is a change of identity and household registration. It is not so easy to redeem Bai Pianpian from the Qingxiang Fang. You also saw it today, not to mention the identity of the girl, but her own appearance and talent are enough to crown the imperial city. It can be described as the cash cow of Qingxiangfang, only one night, you will go crazy to collect ten thousand silver, you want to take this cash cow away. That's a lot of money. ”

Mu Chen nodded, and his expression fell silent. Li Yang sighed, "The hero is sad to pass the beauty pass!Brother Mu, I still have some silver tickets here, you can take them and use them first." If it does, you're going to invite us to drink!"

Although Li Yang is a prince, he doesn't have much money, at most he just has some fixed salary every month. Some of the money on his body was his previous savings, and some of it was obtained from a bet with the second prince when he was in the Martial Academy, but he had already used it to purchase weapons and armor before entering the Qilian Mountains. And now these are all exchanged for some fierce beast fur parts and the like obtained in the Qilian Mountains.

Mu Chen glanced at Li Yang gratefully, took the silver ticket, nodded, and everything was silent.

Back in the room, Mu Chen tossed and turned, but he didn't feel sleepy. If you want to take Bai Pianpian away, in the final analysis, it's all about money. If you want to change Bai Pianpian's identity, the household department will inevitably have to dredge up the relationship. And how to dredge it? Naturally, it will cost money in vain.

Secondly, if you want to redeem Bai Pianpian from the fragrance boat, I am afraid that a few thousand taels of silver will not even be enough to plug the gap between your teeth. And the silver ticket given by Li Yang was only 10,000 taels.

Money, where to get it?

Thinking about it, Mu Chen fell asleep unconsciously. When I woke up the next day, I rarely overslept, and when I looked at the time, it was already noon.

In the afternoon, in the practice and cultivation, in the evening, the group came to the Qingxiang Boat again, and came to the private room on the second floor. But Mu Chen can always hear a trace of helplessness and sadness from the sound of the piano.

"Call me Yunyan. After sitting down, Li Yang patted the girl in his arms and spoke.

Yunyan is the stage name of the old bustard who received Mu Chen and others yesterday.

After a while, Yunyan had already arrived, "Your Highness, you called me?"

Li Yang nodded, and said straight to the point: "My brother has taken a fancy to the girl, you can make a price." We're going to take her away. ”

Yunyan was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed embarrassment, "Your Highness, it's not that the old body doesn't want you to take Pian Pian away. You said that this girl also grew up under my nose, and she has been clever since she was a child, and if she can have a good home, I am naturally willing. It's just that this girl was sent to our Qingxiang Boat by the order of the first emperor, even if she wants to be good, it is impossible. ”

Li Yang waved his hand, "You don't need to worry about this problem, we will handle it." You just have to say, how much does it cost to release someone?"

The old bustard rolled his eyes, and then exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Ouch, Your Highness, what you said, how can you call people released." Pianpian, this girl, I really take care of my own daughter. ”

Screaming pretendedly, the old bustard stretched out a finger and seemed to reluctantly say, "Ten thousand taels." If you can have this price, and can solve the problem of identity, my daughter will let you take it. ”

Mu Chen's face was overjoyed, and he knew that he had just 10,000 taels of silver tickets on him, so his eyes lit up and he asked, "Is it really 10,000 taels of silver?"

The old bustard glanced at Mu Chen, but she knew that Mu Chen was the one who entered Bai Pianpian's boudoir yesterday, and knew that the so-called friend of Li Yang who fell in love with Bai Pianpian was him.

"This son, you misunderstood, although it is 10,000 taels, it is not 10,000 taels of silver, but gold. ”

Syllable!

Li Yang's face sank, and he slapped the table, "Yunyan, are you kidding me?"

The old bustard knelt down with a pout, and cried, "Your Highness, where do I dare to fool you." You see, in the past ten years, we have given the girl good food and drink, read and studied art for her, and lived in a good house, and simply treated her as a princess. Even in the past ten years, she has not let a man get close to her. Isn't it just to make a small profit? This price is really not much, Your Highness. ”
