Chapter 13: Snow Butterfly Dance
In this way, the road was full of accidents and all kinds of calculations, and the group finally came to Qi Tian City. And this young prince has seen the man who was once born and died with his father in the highest position in the Blue Heaven Kingdom.
I don't know if it's because of the real relationship, or because his father is a general on the edge of the town. The lord of the country likes this profligate boy very much, and even pulls him up to the dragon collapse to take a nap together. It's just that not long after this Langye Gongzi, who had to cough twice when he was fine, fell asleep, he was called up by the eunuch in charge and didn't let him disturb the man who had everything to do.
This young man was given a piece of land in Monkey City, where every inch of land is valuable, and built a residence comparable to that of a little prince for him to live in. One stay is five years.
In the past five years, there have been all kinds of gossip into Liaodi, what kind of young man is more gentle, what young boy wants to occupy which oiran can't be. What young son was beaten with a deep-rooted nobleman in the national capital who robbed a woman, cried and wrote a letter to his father to pull him out, and so on......
It has become a pastime topic after tea and dinner in Liaodi.
It's just that the last news is that the little young master Langye made trouble in the national capital Qitiancheng in order to rob a woman, and was later beaten by the woman's husband, and was impeached by the man's family in the court. In the end, General Yan personally went to the court to scold the important minister of the court, and broke up unhappily. Brought back the young son. And the young boy went directly to Andingcheng to find his master. The master didn't find it, and then he met the Jiang family in front of him.
The fate of this son is also very tragic, as the son of the Jiang family, he is pressed by his family in the business field every day, and he is not treated by a few old stubborn people in the family no matter what. Said he wouldn't do business.
It wasn't until he met this gentlemanly Yan family's little Yama King Yan Langye Yan that his situation and style took a 180-degree turn, and the family's attitude towards him was also good, and it was impossible to say.
Originally, the rigid Jiang Dagongzi went to the various semicolon counters to check every day in addition to looking at the account books sent from various cabinets, and the days were very boring, and no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't get a penny when he watched the white flowers and silver on the account books flow to their Jiang family. But when he met the little boy of the waves, it was as if he had opened the door to a new world.
Gentlemen, money, and beautiful women. Jiang Chujie, who enjoyed it, finally knew why people lived, and the previous days were in vain.
Moreover, no matter how he is presumptuous with this gentleman young man, his family is supportive, and even when he makes something that has a great influence, it can be said that it is like Sven's thing, but after the big thing turns into a small thing, the clansmen will still applaud. Because the person he followed was Yan Langye, one of the best speakers in this country, and even in several nearby territories. It can bring huge benefits to their family.
Of course, the eldest son of the Jiang family, who is more and more good at playing, and the young son of the Yan family, are naturally more than that.
Seeing that the little boy of Langye spent a lot of money in Willow Lane, Hua Street, Jiang Gongzi, who was quite business-minded, immediately ran to his home and took out 500,000 taels of silver to build a brothel at one time under the banner of taking money to do business. When the matter was revealed, the family knew that this kid from his own family was trying to have a relationship with the son of the Yan family, so they asked the tent to send another million taels, the reason was that if the son of Yan wanted to play, he naturally wanted the best. As a result, it was known as "drunken upstairs and drunk, drunk downstairs and scattered wealth", and the drunken building that combined pawn and brothel came into being.
If you like gambling money, you will have a happy square, and if you like horseback archery, you will have a horse farm and shooting range. The Jiang family didn't care about the investment in these two people, nor did they ask if they could make money. Because, as long as the Yan family is here, sooner or later you will be able to earn back everything you have invested today.
And what are they doing in the pavilion in the backyard of the Drunken Desire Building?
They were eating hot pot, and the two of them were doing it opposite each other, and it didn't take long for people to visit the ingredients of the hot pot. Then a golden hot pot was served, and it was burned with fiery red fruit charcoal. The white hot pot soup was boiling and rippling, and white smoke was curling.
At this time, Jiang Jiajiang Chujie took the lead in speaking out: "Prodigal son, show you a rare object, this is a high-class game in the south, and we haven't played it here."
"The prodigal son is talking about the prodigal son, this is the first time the two have met, the eldest son of the Jiang family asked the young son's name, and the prodigal son said that he was a homeless prodigal son, so you can call me the prodigal son."
And this Jiang Gongzi also said a sentence that made Yan Langye feel sincere: "Come to my house, although I can't make you rich, but I can also let you have a home, but the prodigal son is also quite good, I also want to be a prodigal, preferably a prodigal." ”
So far, Jiang Chujie has always called Langye a prodigal son and has not changed.
"Oh, what a trick to open my eyes to Cher"
I saw Jiang Gongzi take out an ivory tube, the workmanship is extremely exquisite, and there is a lifelike picture carved on it, and the four-limbed butterfly seems to grow on this ivory bucket. Then the boy opened the cylinder and pointed the mouth of the cylinder to the hot steam. Then something extremely inopportune happened, and several butterflies flew out. At this time, the New Year has just ended, and although spring has begun, the weather is still extremely cold, and there should not be such a butterfly.
The butterflies were kept in this ivory bucket after they broke out of their cocoons, and then placed in a warm place, often putting some food in the extremely hot furnace room to ensure that they did not die. When the snow falls, you can take it out. At this time, the weather is cold, the butterflies are afraid of the cold, and the butterflies that fly out will only fly around the steaming hot pot. At this time, the sky is full of wind and snow, butterflies are flying, this scenery, this artistic conception, really makes those literati excited and don't know what words to use. “
The child, who was talking in a daze, didn't seem to notice Yan Langye's stunned appearance when he looked at the butterfly.
When he said that the fire was extinguished, and if he didn't eat it, the butterfly would die, the little boy immediately stood up, and he already had tears at this time.
Without saying a word, he turned and left the courtyard.
Looking at the prodigal boy who had never been like this, the puzzled Jiang Gongzi looked at the Xue'er girl holding the chessboard.
Miss Cher looked at the departing son, and at the beautiful butterflies flying on the steaming heat, how similar, the same without hesitation, the same compulsion. I saw Miss Xue'er cover her mouth with her hand, and whispered a few words in Jiang Gongzi's ear, and after listening, Jiang Gongzi slapped her thigh, and then took a breath of cool air with her teeth in pain. Seeing Yan Langye, who had almost disappeared in the backyard, he also lost the nature of eating hot pot, let alone looking at the butterfly that reminded Yan Dagongzi of the past. With a wave of his hand, he asked his servant to take the table. After thinking for a while, they exchanged glances with Xue'er, and then went to the direction where Childe disappeared.
The young man who recalled the past was full of thoughts at this time, and he was very irritable, but he felt bored when he tasted it. Before I knew it, I walked to the lively front yard and arrived in the drunken building. I don't know how many warblers and Yanyan came up to say hello, but he was in a trance at this time, and he really couldn't mention the slightest interest in teasing these dusty women.
This is when he saw that the pawnshop downstairs seemed to be a little strange, so he went straight inside and saw an elegant person dressed as a scholar arguing with the shopkeeper about something.
It turns out that this drunken building pawnshop is well known, and there are too many things that can be used, and one of them is intelligence. Prostitutes, women, slaves and maids from various dignitaries will sell information here, and some prostitutes with insufficient funds will also sell intelligence here, of course, this information is also divided into high and low, among which human and material evidence can of course be sold at a good price, provided that your intelligence is strong enough.
Today's events are also a little strange.
A prostitute was working as an informant here, but when he finished speaking, the shopkeeper in charge of buying the information said: "We mainly collect business information here, and besides, the information you mentioned has already been sold."
As he spoke, he took out a bamboo skewer and remembered the number, and according to this number, he found a book, which read: "Annan City, the chief official Huang Ying colluded with foreign forces to resell the important resources of the Blue Heaven Kingdom, which contains a large amount of cold iron"
It turned out that the information that the prostitute wanted to sell was the responsibility of the governor of Annan City for reselling resources and collaborating with the enemy and treason. Cold iron is a very good material for casting weapons, and the Blue Heaven Kingdom has made a clear decree that this kind of thing that can be made into weapons is strictly forbidden to be exported, so it can be regarded as a big crime. Annan City is not far from Anding City, and the transportation is also extremely developed, among which there are many kinds of goods, and the number of this kind of cold iron is certainly not a few.
But the current controversy is that the information that the young man said has been recorded and is not a trade secret. Moreover, there is no direct evidence. Therefore, the steward in charge of the pawn naturally did not recognize his information and was ready to let him go.
But the young man insisted that no one knew about it except himself and his friends. It is suspected that at the same time as he was talking, there was information about the buddy's bar on the record. He didn't believe it until the pawn steward asked her to see who signed the money behind it.
"Then how can it be, we have always put reputation first in doing things in Drunken Desire Building, I betrayed my client, will anyone dare to do business with me in Drunken Desire Building in the future?" said the pawn steward helplessly
In the end, he gave him a compromise solution: "In this way, if you can show evidence, I will still pay you the intelligence money, and then give you more information money."
After all, he is the chief official of a city, if the Jiang family can get the evidence of their collaborator, they will definitely be able to pinch this chief official to the death, then the Jiang family's business can naturally do whatever they want in this city. You only need to pay a small amount of money for business intelligence, and you can make a ruler listen to him, and this wave will not lose money.
The young prostitute couldn't figure out how the news had leaked out, it was the guy who saw the problem and inadvertently let himself hear him mutter, and it took a long time to tell him what he had done, and repeatedly told himself not to tell anyone.
Looking at his anxious, helpless and somewhat aggrieved expression, Langye Gongzi inadvertently felt that he was funny, which was both pitiful and ridiculous. So he went up and asked the young man. "How did you get this information, and who did you communicate with when you came?"
Looking at this pale but somewhat heroic boy, he didn't know what this person was doing, so he naturally wouldn't say it easily.
Seeing his doubts, without waiting for the pawn shopkeeper behind him to speak, Langno Gongzi said: "I am the intelligence investigator here, and I am responsible for confirming the accuracy of the information."
The young man looked at the pawn shopkeeper in charge of the place, and the shopkeeper nodded his head twice. What kind of person is the shopkeeper, like a human spirit, don't say that he is an investigation at this time, even if he is the king of the heavens, he will try his best to cooperate.
The young man, who was affirmed, immediately poured beans and told what he had done.
It turns out that this guy is the captain of Annan City, and he has been looking for his distant relatives in Anding City these days, and he has long heard that the drunken gold fans of the Drunken Mansion have finally come today, how can they let it go. With your savings, you're ready to come and have a dash. Who knew that when he came in, he was fascinated by a little green girl, and he didn't want to leave after living for several days. Finally, when I was shy and had to leave, I heard Cuicui say behind me, "The slave family is reluctant to let the son go, but you want to come and see me."
Seeing the lovely man in front of him who became pitiful because he was leaving, he was really a little unbearable.
Just when he walked downstairs and found a pawn shop, he stepped forward to be the jade pendant that he had carried with him for many years. After another night of capital for the Spring Festival, I went upstairs to find Cuicui.
Seeing such a structure as a pawn in a brothel was an eye-opener for the young man who hadn't been out for a long time.
"In the past, I only heard that covering the drunken building can make people bankrupt, and the downstairs is a pawnshop, and it is true, so is it true that the rumor that this pawnshop can be used as news?" asked the young man holding the beautiful girl in his arms
"Of course you can, we have a lot of information in this building. Cuicui in her arms said with a smile
"Is any news okay?"
"It's basically okay, but the value is different, the price of trade secrets is the highest, and there will be less officialdom, military and politics. Of course, there is a big difference between being able to produce evidence and not being able to produce evidence. "Cuicui is just the most inferior girl in this drunken building, I hope that someone will wrap him up every day, and I think I don't have to show my face every day, so I tell him in detail.
"Then I have a piece of information, I don't know if it's okay," the young man came and forgot about other people's instructions, and told the story of his city governor selling cold iron without permission.
After saying that, he regretted it, and he agreed to that person's instructions, and the stunned young man was not angry when he knew that he had leaked this matter like this.
Miss Cui said: "Although this is not a secret of the mall, it is also a lot of information, so you can try it." The young man fell into deep thought, and it was more like heaven and man fighting than contemplation. But this great spring night can't be wasted, and when he was blinded, he put aside what he just said, and rolled with this delicate stunner beside him.
It's just that there was a knock at the door
