Chapter 133: The Pavilion of the Storm
"What kind of tea does the young master want?" Ran Haoyu saw that Zhao Qingyan had chosen a position, so he asked out loud.
Zhao Qingyan sat down in the corner by the window, smiled and raised his eyes to look at Ran Haoxuan: "It's all at the West Lake, what kind of tea do you want?"
Ran Haoxuan hesitated for a moment and responded, "I understand." "Turned around and went.
The teahouse on the second floor is facing an extraordinarily exquisite and elegant attic, and the plaque hanging in front of the building is carved with three big characters: "Fengyun Xuan". The font is flamboyant and casual, at first glance it only feels sloppy, and then you can see a taste when you look closely. It's not a good word, but it's definitely intriguing and good.
This largest green building in the rivers and lakes was built in Gusu, a place where every inch of land is precious and the landscape is picturesque. Probably only such water and soil can raise such a beauty.
Different from the ordinary green building, the door of Fengyunxuan is open at any time, and the front of the door has always been quiet, and no one stands. A bead curtain completely covers the demeanor inside, and you can't see the beauty smiling, nor can you see the treacherous, a little lonely, a little mysterious.
Ran Haoxuan walked back silently and sat down across the table, his movements were extremely light, and he did not disturb his young master's distraction.
A pot of dragon well, several plates of dim sum quickly arrived, and the sound of singing music not far away was melodious, quiet and peaceful.
——————————————————
Bai Zhen stopped in front of the door, looked up at the plaque that read "Fengyun Xuan", and made sure that it was correct, then opened the bead curtain and walked in.
Surprisingly, there was no one on the first floor. Green smoke curls up, and the best sandalwood is burned. There are several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, most of which are famous calligraphy and paintings of the previous dynasty. If it is genuine, each one is enough to deserve the evaluation of "hard to find". And the lantern candlesticks on the top of the head or on the cabinet are far more decorative than practical.
There are no beauties, no piano sounds, standing in this Fengyun Xuan that doesn't look like a green building at all, Bai Zhen still feels extremely uncomfortable.
"Bai Gongzi?" was just as he was hesitating when he heard a light call of surprise behind him. When Bai Zhen heard the sound and turned around, he saw a peerless beauty.
The woman in front of her was no more than twenty-eight years old, dressed in a thin shirt with light blue flowers and covered with an equally fancy jacket. A small section of the neck is lined with a small piece of red thread, and the face is as beautiful as a little powder, and the bangs that cover the forehead vaguely reveal the shape of the eyebrows, which looks extremely cute. The waist-length black hair was softly draped behind him, and only a loose bun was tied at the back of his head, with two hostas inserted diagonally. She stood on the steps approaching the first floor, leaned sideways on the handrail, looked at Bai Zhen with a low face and a little surprise, her dark eyes were clear.
Bai Zhen hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you the cuckoo that day?"
The woman lightly covered her cherry lips and curled her eyes and laughed: "Yes, Bai Gongzi actually remembers me, and the paper kite feels very honored." ”
"Paper kite? Bai Zhen smiled slightly, and said with a smile, "A few days ago, I was busy dealing with those guests who wanted to pounce on you, but I forgot to ask the girl's name, and asked the paper kite girl to do a lot of Haihan." ”
The paper kite walked down the stairs, stood in front of Bai Zhen, and said with a smile: "The slave family doesn't dare to be it." The slave family is just a little Du Juan, how dare Bai Gongzi worry about it?"
Bai Zhen smiled slightly: "The girl is such a beautiful person, where can anyone not care?"
The paper kite giggled: "Bai Gongzi is really good at coaxing people. ”
Bai Zhen smiled and said: "If you have a request for someone, you naturally have to say something nice." Don't make the girl happy, so that someone will be willing to do my business?"
The paper kite was amused by him and chuckled again: "I can't afford the deal that Bai Gongzi wants to do, Bai Gongzi has to go inside to find the girl you want to coax." ”
Bai Zhen looked at the door and looked a little helpless: "Then for the sake of my first time, can you ask the girl to help me lead the way?"
Paper Kite nodded, smiling cutely: "Of course, there is no problem, come with me." "Pass by him and lead the way.
Behind a small and simple door, there is a beautiful scenery of the world.
The pavilions and pavilions are full of flowers, not like the scenery that should be in late autumn, but there is a bit of spring warmth. From time to time, one or two sounds of the elegant plucking of the silk bamboo floated in the air, but it seemed that this place was quieter.
Along the way, the few women I saw were all dressed as ordinary women like paper kites, with light makeup, and there was no trace of fireworks.
Even Bai Zhen, a noble child who is used to living in the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, can't help but secretly admire when he sees such a scene.
The decoration here looks elegant, but it is noble. At first glance, you should be fascinated by such a beautiful scenery, and if you look closely, you must find the generosity and taste of the owner here.
If you have money, leisure, heart, and taste, you can take good care of such flowers and plants. Not only is the owner of this place noble, but I am afraid that these girls who live here are by no means ordinary women.
While Bai Zhen was secretly thinking in his heart, he couldn't help but look up at Fengyun Xuan a few points. It is not stained with the smell of wind and dust, nor does it smell of copper, such a place is worthy of the signboard of Fengyunxuan.
"Bai Gongzi, please wait here for a while, and let me go in first to say goodbye. The paper kite stopped and blessed itself.
Bai Zhen came back to his senses and smiled slightly: "Then it's bothering the girl." While waiting outside the door, he didn't forget to take a closer look at the view.
After the paper kite went in for a while, the two women walked out of the house and muttered softly: "Ren Gongzi, there are so many men surnamed Ren in the world, where can I check?" The woman who didn't speak tugged at her companion's sleeve, and the woman who spoke saw Bai Zhen, was slightly stunned, closed her mouth, and walked away quickly, as if she was hiding something.
Bai Zhen smiled dumbly, but he didn't pay attention to it, and continued to enjoy the beautiful scenery around him.
"Lord Xuan has called you in. After a while, the paper kite walked out of the room, waved his hand at Bai Zhen, and then left on his own.
Bai Zhen adjusted his mood and pushed the door in.
The decoration in the room is very elegant, just like the overall style of Fengyun Xuan.
The woman in the light emerald narrow-sleeved shirt was half-sideways to feed the birds on the rack, and when she heard him walk in, she put down the bird food in her hand and turned around, and said softly, "Bai Gongzi, please sit down." "She didn't wear a veil, and although her dress was not simple, she didn't dress up too much, and she was stunningly beautiful without makeup.
Bai Zhen was only slightly stunned when he saw her appearance, so he naturally turned his gaze away, sat down in thanks, and asked with a casual smile: "Why didn't Lord Mu Xuan hide his face today?"
Feng Qiong smiled slightly and asked, "I don't know what kind of answer Bai Gongzi wants to hear?" Is it a compliment or a truth?"
Bai Zhen said: "Naturally, it's the truth. ”
Feng Qiong poured a cup of tea and brought it to Bai Zhen, took two steps back and sat down on the stool, before replying with a light smile: "There are not many guests in Fengyun Xuan who I personally meet, and I don't need to hide my appearance in the face of these guests. ”
Bai Zhen raised his eyebrows: "There is probably another reason why I can meet Lord Fengxuan so easily, right?"
Feng Qiong nodded lightly: "Indeed, I know why Bai Gongzi came from, and I happen to be quite interested in some information in Bai Gongzi's hands, so I plan to meet Bai Gongzi - of course, what information Bai Gongzi needs may as well ask first, and it is not too late to talk about the information I need." ”
Bai Zhen agreed, took out a thick stack of silver tickets from his arms and put them on the guqin in front of Feng Qiong: "Then I'll start asking?"
Feng Qiong looked at the silver ticket and asked in surprise, "What does this mean?"
Bai Zhen was also stunned: "Isn't this the case for buying intelligence? I heard that Guixuan's way of buying and selling is to take out valuable things first, and you will measure the value of the information and collect it until it is consumed." ”
Feng Qiong was a little funny: "Bai Gongzi really doesn't know the rules of our Fengyunxuan at all." ”
Bai Zhen was surprised: "I'm sorry, I have no other way, I came in a hurry, I didn't understand it carefully, and I asked Lord Fengxuan to bear with me." ”
Feng Qiong said: "This is the head of Fengyun Xuan, in addition to me and Zhong Li's deputy Xuan master, there are twelve pavilion masters below, and below the pavilion master are the rest of the girls." The kind of trading method you mentioned is only the most commonly used one in Fengyun Xuan, and the pavilion master and the chief and deputy Xuan masters of the General Xuan Branch Xuan do not use this method. The price offered for a direct transaction with us is never low, nor is it something that can be exchanged. ”
Bai Zhen looked at the 600,000 silver tickets he brought, and felt a little uncertain, and couldn't help asking, "Then what deal do you take?"
Feng Qiong pursed her lips and smiled: "The most common ones are some of the information I am interested in, as well as shops, martial arts cheats, rare flowers, rare medicinal materials, beautiful servants, guqin calligraphy and paintings...... In short, as long as it is valuable, all can be exchanged. ”
Bai Zhen said: "If I want information related to the slaughter of the Trojan Marquis Mansion, how much is the price?"
Feng Qiong said: "The starting price is 500,000." ”
"Five hundred thousand?" Bai Zhen was slightly startled, but didn't say anything, "What does the starting price mean?"
Feng Qiong said: "The news that Bai Gongzi wants is a transaction that we have not collected completely, and it is a entrusted transaction, and Fengyunxuan needs to mobilize a lot of manpower and material resources to investigate, which involves a lot. If Bai Gongzi had not commissioned it, this matter about the Trojan Marquis Mansion might not be collected for more than ten years, or even decades later. But Bai Gongzi has commissioned, and we will shorten this time considerably. If Bai Gongzi confirms that he wants to make a transaction, let's discuss the relevant matters. The timing of the investigation, the focus and scope of the investigation, the level of detail, and the number of people to whom the information will be informed. In the end, the negotiated price becomes the starting price. If the requirements are not met within the time required by the employer, the amount of the unfulfilled amount will be refunded three times. The employer will have to make up the amount that exceeds the starting price. ”
Bai Zhen listened carefully and digested it a little: "What does that 500,000 mean?"
Feng Qiong said: "The result I calculated in advance for Bai Gongzi is about 500,000. ”
Bai Zhen asked, "Then can you explain for me what this '500,000' contains?"
Feng Qiong had a perfect smile on her face, and said with her head bowed: "Naturally, there is no problem." These 500,000 deputies found out the results within three months, the direct causes of the heavy damage to the Trojan Horse Mansion, the possible indirect causes, the forces and people involved, the enemies of the Trojan Horse Mansion, and a part of the list of visitors to the Trojan Horse Mansion that can be found are the most detailed, and dozens of people are allowed to be informed. Among them, the number of people who are informed refers to the number of people who know the complete information and the content marked with important marks in it, and the validity period is five years. ”
Feng Qiong paused and continued: "What is not included is the interpersonal relationships, kinship of the Wooden Horse Hou Mansion, the past of the Wooden Horse Hou himself, and the detailed information of people close to Mu Qinghan, Xia Qingqian, and Mu Yu. Above, Bai Gongzi can adjust it by himself. The time of commissioning, the number of people to know, the utility time of constraints, and the content of the investigation can be adjusted at will. ”
Bai Zhen was silent for a moment, but diverted the topic: "Then I don't know what the news that Lord Fengxuan wants to buy from me?"
