In addition to such a two-story pavilion, there is also a courtyard of the back house that is not open to the public, at this time in a room in this courtyard, Dong Qingren pinched the white son and looked at the chessboard, his brows were loose and tight, and an ancient line-mounted chess game that could not see the age was placed on the side of the chessboard.

On the chessboard is an endgame, black and white, and the only player who plays chess is her Dong Qingren.

The fire a few days ago destroyed thousands of acres of fertile land, which she didn't expect and didn't want to happen, she was born as an orphan of the royal family of the old country of Eastern Wu, she just wanted to do her best to make trouble for the current Tongqi Dynasty, but she didn't want the people to suffer.

Carrying the rest of the royal orphans across the ocean and returning to land, living in the only remaining industry in Eastern Wu, the Rouge Rain Building, the scenes of life when she was a child flashed in front of her eyes, there was nostalgia, there was unwillingness, and there was hatred for those traitors and thieves.

Originally, the land of fish and rice in Dongwu, which was in a corner of peace, could live a prosperous life, but those traitorous ministers had to involve their fathers and ancestors in the treacherous plot of the Central Plains.

The newly founded Tongqi Dynasty occupies the Central Plains, even if there is a sudden outbreak of civil strife, and countless small countries around it are eyeing each other, they also have the strength to die a camel bigger than a horse. Especially the man named Tang Cheng, who was less than thirty years old and was able to pull up such an unforgettable iron-blooded cavalry army.

The scene witnessed on the wall of the last lonely city in Dongwu is something that Dong Qingren can never forget in his life, even if she was only five or six years old at that time, under the city wall, 100,000 Dongwu men and soldiers faced 30,000 iron horses, and they had no power to fight back.

That Tang character banner has actually fallen countless times, but it will always be raised again at the moment it falls, like a giant pillar.

The flag is here, the soul is there, and the Tang family is riding on!

In the last battle between Eastern Wu and Tongqi, the city of Baishi City was broken, Eastern Wu was defeated, Emperor Dong Liang of Wu killed himself, all the royal men were captured or killed, and only the little princess who was born from a partial concubine such as Dong Qingren was spared from escaping overseas.

It has been more than ten years since the destruction of the country in Eastern Wu, looking at the increasingly prosperous lives of the people here, Dong Qingren's determination to take revenge is not as strong as it was a month ago.

An Oiran wants to provoke those gentlemen to fight with each other in some way, it's really not a difficult thing, today she only watches a good show, as for the matter of the flower candles in the cave room, I'm afraid those gentlemen won't be able to take care of it then.

Dong Qingren originally planned to do so, and so far everything was expected by her.

"Miss, Mother Hua asked someone to send a message over, saying that you are invited to go over to watch the play, and there is already a fight ahead. A servant girl came in to pass the word, and her eyes were full of admiration when she looked at Dong Qingren.

I have to say that Dong Qingren's identity as an oiran is well deserved, and the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are beautiful, if Tang Yulou sees her, he will definitely say, this chick is more beautiful than those ladies in Tiange City, why did she fall into the red dust of wine and meat? It's a pity, it's a pity that the bird!

Dong Qingren walked out under the adoring eyes of the maidservant, walked through a small garden and went up an open-air staircase, and then went straight to the room facing the staircase on the second floor of the Rouge Rain Building.

"Who should I be, it turned out to be Brother Xie, Brother Xie has been missing for the past two days, and our brothers are very worried!" Du Shaobai's words happened to reach the ears of Dong Qingren, who had just sat down, and the latter raised his eyebrows, and then came to the window and opened a corner to look out.

"Sure enough, it's Xie Xiaotao, it seems that he is fine. Dong Qing whispered in his mouth, in the end, he felt guilty about the thousand acres of fertile land. It's just that when she thought that at this moment, when Xie Xiaotao stepped into the Rouge Rain Building again and mixed with this gang of gentlemen, the disgust on her face became intense.

Especially after she saw that Xie Xiaotao was still good-looking and dressed very explosively, and she knew that she was a gentleman again, she directly closed the window and sat back, looking like she was waiting to see a good show.

In a private room on the second floor, Du Shaobai stood in front of the window and greeted Xie Xiaotao who was sitting in the hall downstairs, and there were three or four people beside him, all of whom were young men, as for the room, there was naturally a group of followers standing in the room, and a few people were standing with knives, and they were their own guards.

Xie Xiaota's face turned blue after seeing Du Shaobai, if it wasn't for Xiao Yidao pressing him down at Tang Yulou's behest, I'm afraid the former would have rushed upstairs to find a fight.

"That's Du Shaobai, it's very ordinary, it's also the young master of the Yin family of Sipinfu, and he doesn't have the spirit of a tyrant at all." Tang Yulou glanced upstairs, and then said disdainfully.

It's no wonder he said this, this world-wide gentleman who can make him look at the eyes is definitely not there in the Tongqi Dynasty, if you have to find one or two to compare with him, then I'm afraid you have to go to the other three kingdoms that can still fight with Tongqi.

Since the beginning of the quotation competition with the Oiran cave house candle night, the price has now been raised to three thousand taels of silver. Originally, the first few bids were all added to the price of one hundred and ten taels, Tang Yulou was really a little impatient to see it, so he stretched out three fingers, and Xiao Yidao, who was already eager to try it on the side, understood it, stood up and roared domineeringly: "My young master gave three thousand taels of silver." ”

Three thousand taels of silver is actually nothing to the wealthy Dongjiang Prefecture, not to mention those high-ranking officials and generous people, even countless wealthy businessmen can easily take it out, let's just say that at this moment, there are many people in the Rouge Rain Building who can afford this price.

The bidding just now started among a group of wealthy businessmen, until Du Shaobai shouted two thousand taels of silver in one breath, because everyone was already thunderous about this gentleman in Jiankang City, so they all chose to protect themselves.

No one wants to offend a prince for a kind of oiran, and then the small shoes will inevitably be worn without the feet.

Du Shaobai was originally proud, but after shouting out two thousand taels of silver, the hall instantly quieted down, and a domineering spirit above everyone faintly leaked, making him feel good about himself.

Who knows, just when he imagined how this scene would react when it reached Dong Qingren's ears, the loud voice that sounded extremely rude to him pulled him back to reality.

Following the sound, he naturally saw the three people at that table, especially Xie Xiaotao, who was staring at him.

"There is a huge Dongjiang River, and there are no young masters in the assassination envoy's family, only two young ladies, who else can compare to him Du Shaobai when it comes to the spirit of the king? His father is the Yin of the Jiankang Fourth Rank Mansion, and the other Dongjiang Mansion Yin Ke is only a Fifth Rank Official. Xie Xiaotao, who gradually calmed down, ignored Du Shaobai upstairs, but expressed a little objection to Tang Yulou's words.

Xie Xiaotao didn't know the identity of Tang Yulou's little prince, so naturally he couldn't understand what Tang Yulou said before, and what the latter said later made the former gasp.

"How old is the young lady of the Assassination Envoy's Mansion, but she has been married, how is she looking, it seems that she will have to come to the meeting in the future!" Tang Yulou's words made Xie Xia's mouth open wide, and Xiao Yidao nodded as a matter of course.

Seeing that Xie Xiaotao ignored him, Du Shaobai's eyes on the second floor gradually became cold: "I want to see how high the price you Xie Gongzi can afford, four thousand taels of silver." ”

The price has been raised again, some people rejoice, some people watch the play, and some people ignore it.

Tang Yulou and Xie Xiaotao chose to ignore Du Shaobai's words again, only Xiao Yidao was playing with Du Shaobai, and the way was to continue to raise the price to five thousand taels of silver.

At this time, Du Shaobai noticed Tang Yulou, who was sitting at the same table as Xie Xiaotao, this was an unfamiliar face, with an extraordinary bearing and a kind of empty temperament.

"Where did this person come from?" Du Shaobai asked casually, and a strong guard behind him immediately stepped forward to answer: "That day, a few of our brothers followed Xie Xiao to the site of Xiaoyao Villa, and a few of us did not act rashly and watched on the side, who knew that he never came out, and then felt that there was a strong aura snooping on us, so we temporarily retreated." ”

These Du Shaobai all knew that his guards had come back to report as early as two days ago, and mentioning this matter at this time would inevitably make them link Tang Yulou with Xiaoyao Villa.

In the end, it is the forces of the rivers and lakes, although I have never heard of any young masters in Xiaoyao Villa like Tang Yulou, but it is difficult to guarantee that it is not the young masters and sons of other Jianghu forces who have dealings with Xiaoyao Villa.

"Send someone to the Joyful Villa at once, and take my token. Du Shaobai threw a Jiankang Mansion Yin token to the guards behind him and ordered.

Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is easy to start, this is his style, if it is determined that Tang Yulou is from Xiaoyao Villa, in his Du Shaobai's opinion, it seems that he can't really pose a threat to him. On the ground of Jiankang, if you want to talk about the fight between the people and the officials, it is not the turn of Xiaoyao Villa.

After sending away the guards behind him, Du Shaobai changed his strategy and began to increase the price a little, this trick was seen through by Tang Yulou at a glance.

"This kid is delaying time, what do you want to do? Go and find out the details of Young Master Ben?" Tang Yulou propped up the table with one elbow, pinched peanuts in his hand, and stepped on the bench with one foot, and kept lighting the stool on his toes, full of ruffianism.

"Young Master, what about us?" Xiao Yidao became more and more excited, this kind of confrontation between the gentlemen was the first time he had experienced, especially the back of a huge statue, which made him feel like a pig and eating a tiger, one word, cool!

"Don't grind with them, see the Oiran first, and then say, don't be an ugly bastard and suffer. Tang Yulou clapped his hands, took out a superb Dongzhu the size of a fist from his body, and said to the flower girl on the stage: "I said old bustard, when will it be a head if the price is increased like this? ”

Hua Niang, who was directly called the old bustard, frowned, but quickly took a breath of cool air because of the huge and superb East Pearl.

Not only her, but almost everyone in the hall took a breath. Dongjiang Prefecture itself is a coastal area, and it is no stranger to Dongzhu, and it is more aware of how difficult it is for Dongzhu to come by. It is almost impossible to find Dongzhu by manpower, and only those fishermen who have raised Haidongqing can find it.

Du Shaobai was also shocked, the silver ten thousand taels had exceeded his limit, after all, his family was not a businessman's family, if too much wealth was exposed, he would inevitably end up with a name for greedy ink, as for the best Dongzhu, it was even more impossible for him to compare, because this kind of thing is now going to enter the palace as a tribute.

It may be fine for ordinary people to have such a family, but if there is a family of eunuchs, I am afraid that the official career will come to an end.
