Chapter 9: How can you be slack?
【February 22, 71st year of the Great Qiankang Yuan, Shenshi, Tianbao Pavilion Guiyuan】
Murong Meng walked quickly to the door of his courtyard, but was stopped by Murong Ji's personal little scholar Shuhan. Shu shuddered and said, "Big young master, let the little one ...... The little one will go to Young Master Tongji first!"
"Go away!" Murong Miao pushed Shu Han away and strode into the courtyard gate.
At this time, the courtyard has been cleaned and cleaned, and there are various potted plants in the courtyard, which looks elegant and pleasant. Murong had no intention of enjoying the scenery, he heard the sound of laughter in the wing, and his heart was annoyed, so he stepped forward, kicked open the door, and strode in.
Sure enough, what greeted Murong Miao's eyes was an extremely unbearable picture. He saw that his fourth brother Murong Ji was disheveled, his hair was scattered, and he seemed to have just gotten up from bed. Next to Murong Ji sat two handsome and lovely girls, who were lying softly in Murong Ji's arms. At this time, one of them was holding a glass of wine, and the other was holding a piece of preserved fruit, and they were each taking turns feeding Murong Ji. Murong Ji opened his hands and held a young girl in one hand, laughing while drinking. The girl is extremely graceful, and the boy is wantonly molesting...... This boundless spring and supreme fun, I am afraid that even the emperor in the deep palace will be envious.
Murong Ji was having a good time, when he suddenly saw the door kicked open, he was about to have a seizure, and when he saw that it was his eldest brother, he quickly got up from the table, straightened his clothes, walked to Murong Miao, lowered his head, and said, "Big brother...... Why are you here, before you come...... Why don't you tell me?"
Murong was angry, and said awe-inspiringly: "Why, I came suddenly, did I disturb your Yaxing?"
Murong Ji hurriedly leaned over and saluted again and again: "Big brother, the little brother is wrong, I beg the eldest brother not to tell my father!"
"Fourth brother, you are confused!" Murong Miao sighed suddenly: "You put these two women in the courtyard, do you think that once the door is closed, outsiders will not know......? If this matter gets out, then it will be done!"
Ah Zhu and Ah Ju hurriedly got up and walked closer, each knelt down in front of Murong Ming, sobbing, and pleading: "Big young master, all the mistakes are the fault of the slave and maid, please be merciful to the eldest young master, don't punish the little master!"
"Fourth brother, you come out first!" Murong Miao saw that Ah Zhu and Ah Ju in front of him were also untidy, their fragrant shoulders were slightly exposed, and their pink necks were white, and he couldn't help but be extremely embarrassed for a while, so he quickly turned around and went out.
Murong Ji put on a robe and followed Murong Meng to the middle of the courtyard, and heard his eldest brother reprimand:
"Fourth brother, you are not a small person, you were injured a while ago, although you lost most of your kung fu, but you only need to work hard every day and practice hard from scratch, and you may not be able to recover your former skills. Even if you don't want to learn martial arts, then you should study hard, and strive to seek a reputation in the field in the future, and your father will be happy to know it. It's good that you know to stay at home all day long and have nothing to do, and now, you actually raise two official prostitutes privately...... What are you doing here?!"
Murong Ji said disappreciably: "The eldest brother said it easily, after I was beaten into a waste by that thief, my meridians were damaged, and my true yuan was difficult to recover, how could you still ask me to practice? You said let me study, my Tianbao Pavilion has been martial arts for generations, I went to take the test for a show, and what kind of bird is there to use! In my father's eyes, there is only the second brother, no matter what I do, he can't look down on the old man's ......."
Murong Meng said: "No matter what, you can't keep two Qinglou female prostitutes at home! You, an unmarried person, have already been immoral to go out to prostitutes occasionally, and now you have brought two official prostitutes into the mansion in a grand manner. If this matter spreads, my Tianbao Pavilion will be rumored to be a laughing stock on the rivers and lakes!"
Murong Ji said: "Big brother, don't talk about them as a 'female prostitute', these two sisters are called Ah Zhu and Ah Ju, and they were originally all servant girls of serious families. It was only because he was kidnapped by gangsters and then drugged that he unfortunately fell into the Qinglou and became a dusty woman......" At the moment, Murong Ji briefly talked about the unbearable past that Ah Zhu and Ah Ju remembered, and said it briefly to Murong Ming.
After hearing this, Murong Miao couldn't help but ponder for a long time, and the two walked around the courtyard a few more times. Murong Miao looked at the childish face of his fourth brother, and suddenly felt a sense of pity in his heart, and when he was heartbroken, he said:
"Well, since the fourth brother really likes them, I am the one who is the elder brother, and you are! Father, I will help you intercede......
Murong Ji hurriedly hugged his eldest brother's body, and said happily: "Great!
"But...... These two women can't stay in the courtyard in the future!" Murong Miao said again.
"Big brother, didn't you just agree, why do you still want to drive them away?" The excitement that had just risen on Murong Ji's face turned into disappointment.
"My stupid brother, the eldest brother just didn't let them stay in the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion anymore, but he didn't say that he would drive them away!" Murong Miao said with a smile.
"What do you mean, big brother?" Murong Ji regained the joy of being a young man.
"Big brother will find a way to buy you a house outside. You can settle them there for a good life, and when you have free time every day, you can go if you want...... Merely...... Ahem, you have to take care of your body and bones, don't go too hard!" Murong Meng patted his fourth brother's shoulder, and helped him brush his messy hair, sighed, shook his head and said.
"Big brother, you're so good! I love you to death!" Murong Ji was overjoyed when he heard this, and he plunged into Murong Ming's arms, hugged Murong Ming's chest tightly, and said happily.
Murong Meng gently patted the fourth brother's back and said slowly: "Listen to you, these two women are also hard-working people, unfortunately they have fallen into the dust, and their fate is really embarrassing! In the future, you must take good care of them." After he marries you, the eldest brother will be in charge, and these two women will be matched to you as concubines......"
"Well, thank you, big brother!" Murong Ji still hugged him tightly
Brother, I don't know whether I was happy or moved in my eyes, but there were faint tears. In his eyes, Murong Luo, who is tall and tall, is not only a big brother, but also a father......
"You, you're so naughty!When can you understand something and help your eldest brother share some of it?" Murong Miao continued to pat the back of the fourth brother and said with emotion. At this time, he looked at the staggered layers of pavilions in Tianbao Pavilion, but a trace of sorrow flashed in his eyes inadvertently.
......
......
And almost at the same time, in a private room in Cuiyun Building in Chang'an City, there were two men in strange costumes sitting facing each other. The young man was twenty-five years old, with a long figure, a thin face, and clear eyebrows, and he was the eldest young master of the Kangmen in Shuzhong, Kang Youren. The old man sitting opposite him, about fifty years old, slightly chubby, had a big red face, one of which was spotted with a big red nose, but a pair of eagle eyes were bright. At this moment, the red-nosed old man took a big sip of wine, and shouted out the door: "Old bustard, come quickly!"
"Come on, come on, uncle, look at you...... It's still daylight!" The old bustard was on his way upstairs, and when he heard the old man's thunderous voice, he hurriedly stepped forward and greeted him politely.
"What do you call your top cards...... Mingyue's, call Lao Tzu!" The old man took out a silver ticket from his arms, slapped it on the table with a "snap", and commanded loudly.
The old bustard's eyes swept away, only to see that it was only a silver ticket of one hundred taels, and saw that the old man with the red nose was very rude, and he didn't like it at the moment, so he said indifferently:
"Hey, I'm afraid this uncle is coming to our Cuiyun Tower for the first time, right? Our Mingyue girl, it's not like anyone can see it if they want to......"
The red-nosed old man snorted coldly with his nostrils facing the sky, and then took out two silver tickets of one hundred taels from his arms, slapped them heavily on the table, and said loudly: "Three hundred taels of silver, buy you Mingyue for one night, is it enough? If she serves Lao Tzu comfortably, Lao Tzu will be rewarded!"
I don't want to, but the old bustard chuckled lightly, and said slowly: "Don't hide it from this uncle, our Mingyue girl, she doesn't sell her body! Usually I play a piano and sing a song or something for you at most, if you want her to sleep with her, then you can't break it!"
The red-nosed old man was furious when he heard this, and slapped the table with his right hand, which shook the dishes and almost broke the table, only to hear him scold loudly: "You are not verbose! Lao Tzu has to sleep with you Mingyue today! If Lao Tzu is not happy today, do you believe it or not, I will demolish this Cuiyun Building for you! You stinky girl, do you call it or not?!"
The old bustard is not a good stubble, although she saw that the old man had some martial arts, but she was not afraid in her heart. At this time, she saw that the old man was rude, and with a move of her right hand, four big men rushed up behind her. The four men all had clubs in their hands, and their faces were menacing.
"My Cuiyun Building has the rules of Cuiyun Building, if you come to drink and find a girl today, I will do your business well. Except for Mingyue, the other girls, whatever you want! If you want to fight and make trouble here, hum! This Cuiyun Tower is not a place for you to go wild!" The old bustard snorted coldly. However, there was always a balance between her words, after all, the three hundred taels of silver tickets on the table were still quite tempting to her.
"You stinky, Lao Tzu ......" The red-nosed old man Huo Ran got up and was about to make a move, when Kang Youren, who was opposite him, hurriedly pulled him and persuaded:
"Third uncle, forget it! This is Chang'an, you are old and discouraged! Don't be like them!"
After that, Kang Youren also kept signaling to his third uncle with his eyes, reminding the red-nosed old man not to do anything here.
"Hmph! I'm so angry!" the red-nosed old man shook off Kang Youren's right hand and returned to the table angrily and sat down.
Kang Youren hurriedly handed over the three hundred taels of silver tickets to the old bustard, and said with a smile: "This mother, can you please call Miss Mingyue here for a while......?
The red-nosed old man tilted his head, glanced at Kang Youren, and said in his heart, "You kid is full of food, are you sick? Take three hundred taels of silver over, just to listen to the tune! This bright moon is even a fairy floating down from the moon, it doesn't have to be so expensive to sing a tune, right? Besides, Lao Tzu can't sleep with her, so what do you spend that silver for?
No, the old bustard bowed slightly, and said apologetically: "This son, I won't tell you, even if you want Miss Mingyue to sing a song with you, she has to be willing to ......."
Kang Youren couldn't help but be a little surprised, he asked, "What is this mother...... Can Miss Mingyue show up here?"
At this time, the old bustard was also embarrassed. She waved her hand first, and let the four nursing homes beside her retreat. She held the silver ticket tightly in her hand, and her face was full of laughter, but her expression was extremely guilty, and she said:
"If you want to see our Mingyue girl, you have to ...... with her To the poem!"
"What? Grandma is a bear! What the hell is this rule breaking!" the red-nosed old man couldn't help but curse loudly.
"Yes, my Mingyue girl will come up with a poem title, and the son must write a poem on the topic, if the poem can satisfy the Mingyue girl, she will come out to meet. The bustard said busily.
Kang Youren couldn't help but feel irritated when he heard this, he said in his heart I am a martial artist, how can I sour those poetry skills of the literati? At that moment, he had to wave his hand, and said: "Forget it, Miss Mingyue will talk about it next time." You ...... In addition to the first card, there are other two-card and three-card cards, are there any......?
In addition to the top cards, we also have gold-belted oiran, silver-belted oiran, and jade-belted oiran here, but they are all lovely people with gorgeous crowns! I will send you two gold-belted oirans in a while, uncle, you don't have to wait!" The old bustard hurriedly replied. With that, she hurriedly turned around and walked out of the private room, happily taking the silver ticket into her pocket as she went.
"Youren! You should be honest! Let's just have a good time, and you are still with that mother
Are you so polite?" After the old bustard left, the red-nosed old man said hatefully, obviously still angry in his heart.
Kang Youren said: "Third uncle, this is not our Kang family's territory, it is better to be cautious! The little nephew heard that this Cuiyun Building is not simple, it is said that there is a big man in the court to support him, and no one dares to make trouble, so we can't provoke him!"
"Grandma is a bear! I Kang Guangben has prostituted all over the country all over the country in my life, and today is the most expensive one for me! His grandmother's has spent three hundred taels of silver, and she can't sleep on a top brand!" The red-nosed old man who called himself "Kang Guangben" said with hatred. In other words, he is still very unwilling. You must know that in their Shuzhong area, if three hundred taels of silver are saved for prostitution, it is almost enough for a year.
"Third uncle, this is Chang'an! It's easy to make money, it's easier to spend money, you have to get used to it slowly in the future. Kang Youren said with a smile.
Kang Guangben no longer thought about the silver, and as soon as he changed his words, he talked about Kang Youren's two handmaidens, and he said:
"Youren, how did you do it this time? Not only did you lose the five poison beads of the supreme treasure of your own family, but you also failed to do it when the head of the sect explained your proposal. In the end, you also lost the two girls, Ah Zhu and Ah Ju!"
Kang Youren was said to be ashamed, and said: "Third uncle, nephew is useless, next time my father asks, you have to help me say a few good words!"
Kang Guangben said: "You still need to say this, from childhood to adulthood, it is not the third uncle who loves you the most......? The second brother's temper is not as good as mine! If he is really angry, he may give you a 'three-spice pill'!"
When Kang Youren heard the words of "Sanxiang Dan", his face immediately turned pale with horror. Just because the "three-spice pill" is really a kind of miracle medicine in Kangmen, there are a variety of spices in it, and the smell is incomparably strange, and the aroma can also attract all kinds of poisons. People who take this pill will continue to overflow with the fragrance in their bodies, and within twelve hours, they will attract all kinds of poisonous insects to bite them until they die.
If someone in Shuzhong Kangmen makes a big mistake, the head of the family will give him a "three-spice pill". When he had taken the pill, he bound the man and laid him in the wilderness for a day and a night. Those poisonous snakes, scorpions, centipedes, and the like will come to smell the fragrance, climb up the man's body, and bite and gnaw everywhere, biting through his skin and flesh, and causing him to die of poison in the worst case, and when he is dying, the man will cry out in pain, which is really a terrible punishment. Although the people in Kangmen have anti-poisonous blood in their bodies, they are still immortal after being bitten by poisonous insects for a day and a night, after all, there are very few people. Therefore, when the people of Kangmen hear the word "Sanxiangdan", they all smell the wind and color change.
"Hahaha! The third uncle is just scaring you, don't take it seriously! After all, you are my second brother's own son, in the future, you will be the one in charge, no matter how ruthless the second brother is, he will not feed you the 'three spice pills'......" Kang Guangben saw his eldest nephew's frightened expression at this time, and hurriedly patted his arm, laughed and said with relief.
Having said that, Kang Youren felt uneasy in his heart, just because he knew that his father, in the entire Kangmen, was known for his ruthlessness and violent temper. Since he ascended to the position of head of the house, I don't know how many people have been punished to death under his hands...... Even if it is his own son, if you really disobey his wishes, it is not impossible to reward you with a three-spice pill!
"Don't worry, Youren! You just need to do the next thing, the third uncle guarantees, not only will the head not punish you, maybe he will also reward you with a big prize!" Kang Guangben patted his chest and said to his nephew again.
"What did the third uncle say...... It's the Xuanhuang Sword, right? However, I heard that this sword has been hidden in the palace all along, and there is a forbidden army guarding it and it is heavily defended, so how can I find it!" Kang Youren replied, his face had just faded from fear and was full of worry.
Kang Guangben said: "Don't worry, you are benevolent, the third uncle came this time, in addition to bringing you some good things, he also paved the way for you! Next, the first thing you have to do is to find the King of Jin......
"King Jin?" Kang Youren couldn't help but wonder.
At this time, Kang Guangben was obviously reluctant to talk about this next step in Cuiyun Building. He suddenly slapped the table and scolded angrily: "Grandma, a bear! Where is this turtle woman dead! Didn't she take the money and run away? Why hasn't the girl come here yet!"
"Here, this man, you are really in a hurry!" the old bustard hurriedly ran over, opened the door of the private room, and ushered in the two delicate and delicate women.
"This girl's name is 'Scarlet Rain', this girl's name is 'Ningshuang', they are all first-class beauties in my Cuiyun Building......!
Kang Guangben couldn't help but squint his eyes, and carefully looked at the two women in front of him, only to see that they were all graceful, their faces were beautiful, their lotus steps moved lightly, and their spring colors were unparalleled, which was really different from the women he usually met. At this time, he suddenly realized that the three hundred taels of silver were not wronged.
"What's your name...... Flying fish?" Kang Guangben asked. He said in his heart that Chang'an is really the capital, and even the name of a woman in a green building is so different.
"The slave family is 'Scarlet Rain', I have seen this master, come and ...... Uncle take a sip of wine first!" Scarlet Yu sat on Kang Guangben's side, raised his hand slightly, picked up a wine cup, and slowly handed it to Kang Guangben's mouth.
"Okay, good, good! I'll drink, I'll drink ......" Kang Guangben's heart was already happy.
Kang Youren looked at a golden ribbon hanging from the waist of Scarlet Rain and Frost, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It turns out that this is the so-called 'Golden Belt Oiran'! My generation is in the land of rivers and lakes, can we not work hard to exchange for our future status? In the future, whenever there is an opportunity, we need to go to a higher level!"
After thinking about it, he leaned his neck and drank a large sip of wine, put the wine cup heavily in front of the table, and then stretched out his right hand and took the "condensation" beside him into his arms......
