Chapter 202: Redemption (2nd Watch)

"It's ...... How much?" Qin Ke asked in a daze, his voice was so low that only he could hear it, he couldn't control himself from showing a dull face, and he couldn't take his eyes off the golden pagoda.

"It's just a hundred gold, and the son doesn't have to be polite. "How shrewd is the old bustard, she observed the different expressions on Qin Ke and Gao Yishui's faces, and she already knew in her heart, maybe this person in tattered clothes was the main speaker among the two?

A hundred gold may not sound like much, but in fact gold has always been difficult to smelt, and extracting sufficient gold from the ore is not only time-consuming, but also very laborious.

When the Ji Dynasty was in charge of the four seas, the common thing in the world was called "gold", in fact, it was more brass, also known as "lower coin", and real gold was called "upper coin", which could only be used by official eunuchs.

Sun Qing once offered to buy Qin Ke's Xiaohei, and when he opened his mouth, he was 100 gold, although it was shocking, but after all, it was only a verbal offer, and Qin Ke did not see the real thing. And now that these stacks of gold cakes are placed in front of him, the golden light flashing out really makes Qin Ke feel dizzy.

Not only Qin Ke, but even Ning Xin, who had been in Lan Yuxuan for many years, couldn't help but exclaim when she saw these golden cakes, she didn't know how big the power behind her own Qinglou was, but over the years, no matter how big or small the guests were, no one dared to spread wild in the building, and the bead ornaments of the girl in the building were also more valuable than other new Qinglou ornaments, so they could faintly make people guess one or two.

And she has never seen her own house give such a "thin gift" to any strange guest.

"Bo Li?" Ning Xin muttered in a low voice, and inexplicably a little sad, people are really different from each other, for her, she may not be able to save a tenth of her life, in the eyes of her own boss, it is just a small gift that can be given at any time.

And Qin Ke, who was qualified to accept this gift, recognized her as the eldest sister, and she suddenly felt a little remorse in her heart, worried that what she had just done was a little too ignorant?

Gao Yishui took a sip of wine, looked at the golden golden cake, his face looked very calm, while Qin Ke was still shocked, he said lightly: "No merit, I don't know what it means for your building to suddenly give this gift?

Qin Ke's eyes wandered away, which made the old bustard feel a little strange, if Qin Ke's background was really Zhuge Wanling, who was said above the court, how could he be shocked by this hundred gold?

It's just that when Gao Yishui spoke indifferently, she suddenly felt that her previous judgment was good, although the person in front of her was dressed in tattered clothes, she had a sense of clarity on her body, and the mirror-like detachment in her eyes looked very natural, not at all like she was pretending to be deliberate.

She felt a pang in her heart, Zhuge Wanling was the prime minister of a country, and he could be regarded as the highest ruler of the land of Jingwu, and all the wealth of Jingwu was not his.

But because of this, Zhuge Wanling is the biggest poor egg among these Jing Wu. Behind him is the treasury, every penny needs to be used on national affairs, even if he can fill his pockets, but if Zhuge Wanling is such a person, how can he integrate the Shi clan in just a few years and suddenly establish such a powerful Jing Wu?

And everyone in the world knows that Zhuge Wanling is a meritocrat, and he has never heard of any relatives who rely on his relationship to be powerful, and his relatives may not necessarily be people with a lot of wealth.

The smile on the old bustard's face did not dissipate because of the slander in her heart, but became more eager, she waved her hand, and said, "Where is the son? Our boss just wants to make friends with the two of you, and there is nothing else to ask for, let alone any bribes." ”

"Oh, just make a friend?" Gao Yishui glanced at Qin Ke, at this moment Qin Ke also retracted his gaze looking at the golden cake, glanced at Gao Yishui, and stopped talking, and Gao Yishui waved his hand to signal him not to speak first, and said to the old bustard: "Since you are making a friend, why doesn't the owner of your building come out to meet?"

The old bustard was slightly stunned, but she was not surprised by Gao Yishui's question, but she couldn't grasp Gao Yishui's thoughts for a while, so she had to smile reluctantly: "My boss is not good at drinking......

"It's okay to drink tea!" Gao Yishui interrupted her, with a little cunning in his eyes, "It just so happens that I also brought the piano, my music is not easy to hear outside, and I just happen to invite your master to appreciate it." ”

"This ......," the old bustard lowered his head, a little embarrassed, "It's very unfortunate, my boss happens to have a business to discuss, so he has just left the building, and I don't know where he is going right now." ”

"It doesn't matter. I can wait. Gao Yishui still insisted: "If you can't see your master, how can you rashly accept this gift, it's abrupt...... Abrupt ......"

Qin Ke looked at Gao Yishui in a daze, as slow as he had already sensed the somewhat aggressive meaning hidden in Gao Yishui's sentences, like a quick knife, straight forward and slashing, all the way towards the heart of the old bustard.

It's just that why does he have to meet Lan Yuxuan's boss?

"This ...... It's not a coincidence. The old bustard still smiled, "My boss has a big business to talk about this time, but I'm afraid that he has gone to the port now, boarded the ship and left Jiujiang City......"

"Oh, is it?" Gao Yishui showed a look of regret on his face, maybe he really believed the old bustard's words, he shook his head, "That's really a pity, but even if it's so unfortunate, I can't refute your master's kindness anymore, I'll accept this hundred gold?"

Of course, the bustard's face was full of joy, his own "sailing" and "talking about business" were nonsense, and the master who asked her to give gifts was now writing in the private room on the top floor, but he refused to come down to meet people, what could she do?

Fortunately, this matter seemed to be fooled, and she bowed again and again: "Childe, please accept it." ”

She hurriedly motioned to the subordinate beside her with her eyes, asking him to hurry up and send the tray in her hand over.

"That's right. There's something I need to ask. Gao Yishui opened his mouth, but it made the bustard's heart jump again.

The old bustard blinked his eyes and said in his heart: This guy is endless? Could it be that he really came to the building to find fault? If so, ...... So do you want to let the guys out there and kill people?

However, Gao Yishui's next sentence made her relax: "I don't know the girl in your building...... How much is it worth?"

The old bustard smiled, of course she knew this best, "It depends on who it is, different girls naturally have different values, if it is an oiran, it will also openly let the guests bid, and the highest price will win." If Childe is interested, on the first day of the next month, there will be an Oiran New Night in the building waiting for the guests to bid......"

"Oiran doesn't have to. Gao Yishui smiled, stretched out a hand to Ning Xin, who was a little stunned, "Just this girl, how much?"

Qin Ke and Ning Xin were both shocked.

"Oh. What do you mean Ning Xin?" the old bustard looked at Ning Xin, the other two girls were already drunk, but Ning Xin was sitting quietly alone, the old bustard nodded secretly, "She...... It should be fifteen years old in the building, this year is twenty-five, the most charming age, according to the price in our building, if you want to redeem Ning Xin, at least this number must be ......"

She stretched out four fingers, Qin Ke's heart tightened, and she hurriedly asked, "How much is this?"

The old bustard looked at Qin Ke and Ning Xin's hands clasped together, and thought to himself, could it be that this young man entered the Qinglou for the first time, and when he saw Ning Xin, he was suddenly fascinated, so he wanted to bring him back to the mansion as a "concubine"?

However, this kind of thing is not uncommon in the building, many dignitaries or rich tycoons meet the girl they like, and they will also propose to redeem themselves, on the one hand, they can no longer come to this noisy building every day, and on the other hand, they can also regard the girl as a forbidden body, and no longer be touched by others.

"Forty gold. The old bustard explained, in fact, she has already said it in the lowest, in Lan Yuxuan, there may not be no people who spend a lot of money, not to mention that with Ning Xin's current age, she will not be old in ten years, and many benefactors still have special habits for......

"Forty gold?" Qin Ke was slightly stunned, he didn't expect his sister to be worth so much, of course, this also proved Ning Xin's excellence.

But where did the money come from? He couldn't help but set his eyes on the gold cakesβ€”a coincidence, which was too coincidental.

Could it be that God is really destined to help him?

Gao Yishui smiled and said, "That's just right." We want to redeem Miss Ning Xin, if it's convenient, we can do it now. ”

"Okay. I'm going to find Miss Ning Xin's deed of sale. The old bustard smiled, turned his head and looked at Ning Xin again, showing a little genuine concern, "Ning Xin, you are blessed." ”

The old bustard is not young, and she may not be a ruthless person, she was like Ning Xin back then, if it weren't for her poor background, who would want to come to Goulan to do this business? These girls grew up in the building since childhood, and sometimes it was as if she was her own daughter.

Now that someone is willing to redeem Ning Xin, she is also happy to see it, as for the boss...... I don't mind selling such a face again, and I will return Ning Xin a free body with the amount of forty gold.

Ning Xin looked at the old bustard with tears in her eyes, and shouted in a low voice, "Mother Huang......"

The old bustard nodded at Ning Xin, turned around and closed the door and left.

Qin Ke turned his head and saw that the tears in Ning Xin's eyes began to fall in large pieces.

"Sister...... Sister, don't cry......" Qin Ke was a little flustered, and hurriedly reached out to wipe the corners of Ning Xin's eyes, but those tears seemed to be inexhaustible, falling on Qin Ke's fingertips one by one, like crystal nectar in the morning light.
