Chapter 16: Windfall
Li Qing touched his nose and said secretly: "The Eighth Emperor didn't come to Qinglou at my instigation, even if Lao Zhu really knows, he can't blame me."
Besides, the money was voluntarily contributed by his son, and I just made the money spent by his son more meaningful. ”
Thinking of this, he no longer scruples, "Lead the way with your head." ”
As soon as I arrived on the second floor, I saw more than 20 women pouring out of the downstairs, all of them beautiful and orderly, and the grade was thrown off a lot outside.
Come to think of it, these are the top cards...... Li Qing watched as he walked, followed by a new round of bidding, with a reserve price of 5 taels, and each increase should not be less than 1 tael.
Compared with the Oiran hundreds, or even hundreds of taels, it is really shabby, but the wolf has more meat and less meat, and after a bid, there are more than 20 taels.
Li Qing was speechless, he didn't know what the future of Daming Bao Banknote would be, but for now, the purchasing power was not low.
Consistent banknotes can buy ten catties of mutton, fifteen catties of pork, three chickens, and two jars of wine, and the money earned by these top brands in one night will be more than 10,000 in the future.
In addition, there is also the front hall, the front yard and the daytime revenue, how much does this drunken fairy building earn in a day?
It is said that the Qinglou is a gold cave, and he has seen it today.
"Childe, Miss Wanling is inside."
"Ahh Oh. Li Qing came back to his senses and asked, "Bustard, how many Oiran do you have in this Drunken Immortal Building?" ”
"Twelve."
"So much?" Li Qing was surprised, and was even more shocked by the ability of the Drunken Immortal Building to absorb gold.
Bustard smiled to herself, suddenly remembered something, and said tentatively: "Childe, don't you think that Miss Wanling is an Oiran?" ”
Li Qing was stunned and asked rhetorically, "Isn't it?" ”
"Oh, of course not!" Bustard was anxious, "Wanling is a Qing person, only responsible for drinking, chatting, playing the piano, and dancing, but she doesn't have to deal with herself." ”
Li Qing was dumbfounded, he spent five hundred taels, but he could only see it but couldn't eat it, it was too dark, right?
Although it wasn't the money he spent, he still felt distressed, and this was really wronged to his grandmother's house.
Seeing that he was silent, Bustard hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, Childe, you have spent a lot of money, naturally you will not be allowed to eat only vegetarian, in addition to Miss Wanling, there are two Oiran waiting for you in the room to ensure that you are satisfied." ”
After a pause, he added: "Oiran does not pick up guests alone, and can only be enjoyed by becoming a guest of the Qingqi people." ”
Li Qing suddenly dared to sell in bundles.
He was about to step into the wing, when a small servant suddenly hurried over and came to the bustard, and his voice was very low, "Bustard, Wang Hai's kid is here again, and he wants to sleep with Xiuxiang." ”
When the bustard heard this, he was angry, and scolded in a low voice, "I kicked my nose in the face, that bastard really thought that he had climbed the golden branch and could do whatever he wanted by relying on that layer of relationship that couldn't be beaten by eight poles?"
How much energy and money does it take to cultivate a clean man?
Just gave him 1,000 taels to buy real estate, and now he wants to cut off the restaurant's financial route, and find someone to blow him out.
That person was busy with great things in Bashu, but even if he knew, he would never blame him. ”
The voices of the two of them were extremely low, but Li Qing still heard it clearly.
The bustard was so angry that she suddenly noticed that Li Qing was still in front of her, and hurriedly smiled dryly, "Son, please, there are many people in the restaurant, and the slave family is unaccompanied." ”
"Well, you're busy."
Li Qing nodded and stepped into the wing.
The room is antique, there is a large ice cube in the iron box, watermelon and sour plum soup are on it, the incense burner is smoky, and the air is cool and dark.
It's only one step away from the door, but it's a world of difference.
There were four side dishes and two pots of sake on the mahogany table, and Li Qing suddenly felt that this money was not spent in vain, at least the service was quite good.
"Childe is here?" A woman in the gauze tent spoke, her voice sweet, "Young Master Lao, wait a while, the slaves will be fine immediately." ”
Li Qing glanced at the hazy three figures, and said with a light smile, "Don't worry, you take your time." ”
A good meal is not afraid of being late, the sky has just darkened, and the long night is not in a hurry for a while.
Li Qing walked to the table and sat down, thinking back to the conversation between the little maid and the bustard just now, he didn't hear any information, but the 'Wang Hai' felt familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
I got myself a glass of wine, raised my glass and took a sip of my lips, suddenly stunned, and said softly: "It's the fat man who sold my house!" ”
Li Qing fell into deep thought, and the sentence 'that person was busy with great things in Bashu' made him extremely interested.
Jin Yiwei is responsible for intelligence, so he naturally has to pay attention, if nothing else, to make the head on his neck stronger.
Li Qing half-leaned back on the chair, tapped his index finger on the tabletop, and said secretly:
"According to Liu Qiang, it is rumored that this restaurant was opened by the royal people, and the one in the mouth of the bustard is probably the prince who was divided into Bashu, and the prince is doing great things......
Li Qing's face changed, and he immediately shook his head again.
Lao Zhu is old, but his body is still strong, and the princes don't dare to think about such a thing as rebellion.
From this point of view, the 'that' definitely not refers to the prince, neither the prince, but has a lot to do with the rumored restaurant opened by the royal family, who can it be......
Golden Branch!
Li Qing's eyes lit up, and he finally understood the meaning of this word
- Princess!
Once the princess is confirmed, the 'one' is naturally the colt.
The colt is doing great things, and ninety percent of them are not a good thing.
Although the commander of the horse is in the first rank, he is only an idle official position, and he has an empty name, and the horse cannot be an official in the court, let alone interfere in politics.
married a princess, the status is high, but it also breaks off the career.
Men pursue nothing more than that, money, power, women.
If you are a colt, you can't touch power, and as for women... If you dare to cuckold the princess, it depends on whether the prince and father-in-law can get you and you will be finished, especially if the emperor is Zhu Yuanzhang.
He definitely did the killing of his son-in-law!
Power and women can't do it, so the only thing is to make money.
Li Qing peeled off the cocoon and sorted out two points.
First, the person behind the restaurant is the princess.
Second, this princess's concubine is doing evil in Bashu.
It is difficult to check the princess, but it is much easier to check the horse, not to mention that the clues are clear, only to check which horse is in Bashu, and if you find the horse, you will naturally find the princess.
He had a clue to sort it out, but he was also entangled in whether to check it out, after all, it was a royal matter, and it would definitely not look good to poke out Lao Zhu's face.
However, Lao Zhu is embarrassed, if he really has conclusive evidence, it will be safer.
The emperor pays attention to political correctness when he does things, especially Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor who puts Jiangshang Sheji in the absolute first place, and his son-in-law is a fart.
Li Qing drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, and the wine glass slammed on the table.
Done!
"Oops~ Childe, this is in a hurry, right?"
A woman lifted the gauze tent and hurriedly stepped forward, her voice soothing and slightly playful, "It's all the slave's fault, if the son has the gas to sprinkle on the slave family~"
The woman is in her twenties, with apricot eyes and a nose, fair skin, a delicate figure, an intoxicating smile on her face, and a soft voice of Wu Nong.
Then, the gauze tent was picked again, and a woman stepped forward, with a beautiful posture and bewitching curves, and the unique temperament of a Jiangnan woman came to her face.
Don't wait for Li Qing to marvel, the third is a woman... The girl gently pulled the gauze tent and stepped forward.
At most, he is fifteen or sixteen years old, with a goose egg face, a high nose, pupils like mountain grapes, black and bright, no bloodshot on the whites of his eyes, pure as a child.
Wearing a black Luo skirt, she is even fairer-skinned, compared with the tenderness of the first two, this girl gives people a unique bookish atmosphere of a talented woman, as if she is a lady who is cultivated by a scholarly family.
So much so that people can't help but ignore her age.
Li Qing couldn't help but exclaim, no wonder those people would throw a hundred taels, or even hundreds of taels, it seemed that there was a reason.
In this trip, his impression of the Qinglou woman for granted has changed greatly, and the Qinglou is not all a group of bewitching sluts.
There is no shortage of beauties here, and not all women are promiscuous and kitsch, at least the three people in front of him, he can't see a trace of frivolity.
even believed Liu Qiang's sentence 'There are real beauties in the pheasant nest'.
It is no wonder that literati, scholars, rich men and gentry are nostalgic for the land of fireworks, and there is a reason for this.
"The slave family (little girl) has seen the child." The three daughters gave a gift.
Li Qing smiled, he was destined not to be lonely tonight......
