Chapter 88, a night of greed
[The seventy-first year of the Great Qiankangqian, March 26, the beginning of the year, Cuiyun Building in Chang'an City]
Jiaojiao was taken by the old bustard Yang's mother to the largest embroidery room in Cuiyun Building. Mother Yang personally made the bed, cleaned up the room, and set up a table of exquisite wine and food in the center of the embroidery room. She told Jiaojiao again and again, telling Jiaojiao to use all her means tonight to serve the "important guest" comfortably, and then closed the door and retreated......
Jiaojiao waited for two quarters in the embroidery room, but she was really bored, so she got dressed, simply went out, and came to Mingyue's bedroom.
Jiaojiao entered Mingyue's bedroom, and saw that Mingyue was lying on the bed in a daze, as if she was about to fall asleep, and as if she was preoccupied, so she smiled and said:
"Sister Mingyue, what are you thinking?
"What kind of lover? are all men with a bad heart!" When Mingyue saw Jiaojiao coming in, she couldn't help but smile and smile.
Jiaojiao said: "Speaking of which, what do you think of the three men we saw in Deyue Tower during the day?"
"Those three men?...... Mingyue raised her head, as if she was reminiscing about the scene she saw during the day, and said with a smile: "It's not bad!"
Jiaojiao asked, "Among the three, which one is my sister's favorite?"
Mingyue sighed: "What's the use of liking it? Do women like us still have the right to like men?"
Jiaojiao shook Mingyue's arm and said with a smile: "Oh, sister, just talk about it, it's okay to talk about it, those three men, if you can choose, and you can only choose one, what are you going to do...... Which one to choose?"
Mingyue smiled: "Then I have to think about it, this man is so well dressed, he looks like a prince and grandson, although he looks handsome, but his temper is not very good, I don't like it!"
"What about the one on the right?" asked Jiaojiao.
"The one on the right...... Although he is also very handsome, and his face is more beautiful than that of us women, but ...... I still don't like it a little bit......" Mingyue shook her head and said.
"How could it be...... Since he is more beautiful than us women, how can my sister not like him?" Jiaojiao wondered.
"You see he's still so young!Twenty at most, my sister is twenty-four this year, he's almost as my brother, how can I like it?!" Mingyue said with a smile to herself.
"What about the one on the left, it looks weak, and it's so thin, does my sister like it?"
"Well......" Mingyue kept nodding at this time: "This man, he looks long and thin, his face is fair, and his temperament is quite elegant, he seems to be a teacher, he looks good, my sister likes it!"
Jiaojiao clapped her hands and said, "It turns out that my sister likes Mr. Teaching!"
Mingyue said: "What's wrong with Mr. Teaching? Mr. Teaching has a good stomach and knowledge, speaks with a crepe and a good temper ......."
Jiaojiao said: "But Mr. Jiaoshu is so thin, in case my sister is bullied, how can he protect you?"
Mingyue said: "Who said that if we are women, we have to be protected by men? Since he is so thin, my sister can also protect him!"
Jiaojiao said again: "Mr. Teaching can't make money, people say that he is poor and teaches, sister, if you marry him, how will you live in the future?"
Mingyue said: "Sister can make money! We are the top brand after all! Sister can open a tavern or open a tofu stall, my sister can cook vegetables and make tofu brains...... With my sister's ability, I don't want him to support me, I can support him!"
Jiaojiao clapped her hands and smiled: "Yes, yes, yes! Sister can open a tavern and sell tofu brains in the tavern." As for Mr. Teaching, let him open a school, and his students will come to eat at his sister's tavern after class, so that you two can earn both the students' tuition fees and their food money, which is great......"
Mingyue also laughed and said: "My sister's business is good, let's do it in the future! If my sister has nowhere to go, she will come to my sister's tavern to help!"
Jiaojiao quipped: "Sister is not afraid, I robbed your teacher?"
Mingyue waved her hand and said generously: "My sister wants it, just take it, in this world, Mr. Teaching has it!"
"Hahahaha......" The two sisters couldn't help laughing together, as if at this time, the quiet-looking and thin "Mr. Teaching" had become a gift, but that gift was not very valuable.
At this moment, if you teach them to know that the weak-looking "Mr. Teaching" is the famous Bei'an Pingsi Qianhu Nangong in Tsing Yi Wei, I don't know what they think.
......
The two sisters laughed for a while, and then slowly returned to the reality at present. At this time, the night was getting darker, and Mingyue saw that Jiaojiao had no intention of leaving, so she couldn't help asking:
"How...... Sister doesn't have to pick up guests tonight?"
Jiaojiao left Mingyue's bedside, walked a few steps in the room, and sighed:
"Ahem...... It's not that damn fat bald man who insisted on keeping me in the embroidery room, saying he was waiting for an important guest!"
"Important guest?" Mingyue said curiously:
"Who came to our Cuiyun Mansion who was not an important guest? Why let my sister wait in the embroidery room, unless he was ......" Mingyue suddenly thought of someone.
"Who is he?" Mother Yang is mysterious and refuses to say!" Jiaojiao asked.
Mingyue looked outside the house, thought for a moment, but first instructed Jiaojiao:
"Sister, you go and lock the door first, and then close the window, and then we will talk ......"
After Jiaojiao walked over and did what Mingyue told one by one, she returned to the bed and sat down, Mingyue asked rhetorically:
"Sister, do you know who this short and fat bald man used to be?"
"Who?"
"This person's name is Pei Caibao, and he doesn't know who gave him this name, as if he lost all the treasures in his family...... I heard that he used to be a big official in the Tsing Yi Guard!"
"Tsing Yi Wei? What is Tsing Yi Wei? Is it a place to wash clothes? What kind of Tsing Yi and blue clothes does this Pei Caibao take people to wash all day long?"
Mingyue listened to Jiaojiao's words so innocent and childish, she couldn't help but smile and said:
"Tsing Yi Wei is not a place to wash clothes, it is the most terrible yamen in our Daqian, specializing in arresting, interrogating and killing people, if anyone is unfortunately caught in Tsing Yi Wei, then she will be moldy for eight lifetimes!"
"You Qianguo actually have such a terrible yamen, which specializes in arresting, interrogating, and killing people! This is also ...... Isn't that scary?"
"What 'you Qianguo'! Sister, aren't you from our Qianguo?"
Jiaojiao consciously lost her words and said busily:
"Oh...... Of course, I am from Qianguo, but when I was a child, I spent a while with my brother in Xiao Guo in the north...... That...... Sister, since this Pei Caibao is a senior official in the Tsing Yi Guard, how could he come to our Cuiyun Building to do something...... Steward, is it ...... The chief steward here is even bigger than the senior official of Tsing Yi Wei?"
"Who knows! I heard that this Pei Caibao was sent to us by his master because he lost his official position. ”
"Pei Caibao also has a master, who is that master?"
"He's amazing...... Mingyue looked around again, then motioned Jiaojiao to approach her, and said softly:
"He's a prince of our big business......"
"The prince, the prince will open a brothel?" Jiaojiao opened her mouth in surprise.
"Be quiet!Don't let people listen!" Mingyue hurriedly reminded.
Jiaojiao approached Mingyue's side, and asked in a low voice as low as possible:
"Sister, which prince is he?"
"Don't hide it from my sister, this prince, my sister also served him for a few nights back then, although he didn't say his identity, but I clearly remember that the jade plate on his waist was engraved with the word 'Zuo'. ”
"What does that mean?"
"That is to say, he is the sixth prince of the current emperor, Li Zuo, who is the king of Han!"
"King Han, is his official big?"
"Except for the emperor, it should be his biggest official......"
"Sister is saying that the guest who the fat bald man asked me to wait in the embroidery room tonight is Li Zuo, the king of Han?"
"If my sister guesses correctly, he is the only one who can make Pei Caibao so excited. ”
In Mingyue's mind, she suddenly remembered that when she served the mysterious guest, Mother Yang also arranged the largest embroidery room in Cuiyun Building for her. Because the mystery guest was quite satisfied with her that night, she stayed in the embroidery room for two nights in a row, serving the mystery guest all night.
And Mao Jiaojiao's heart suddenly thought that when the second brother Lu Huoli left Xiao Guo, he told her that one of his tasks to go to Qianguo was to assassinate a certain prince on the order of the lord of Xiao Guo, so as to take the opportunity to disturb the entire Daqian court, and it was best to make them messy and restless......
Now, there is a prince of the Great Qianguo who has taken the initiative to send him to the door.
Mingyue naturally couldn't comprehend Jiaojiao's thoughts at this moment, and she suddenly said with a worried face:
"Sister Jiaojiao, this King Han is not a person who is easy to serve! Sister served him for three nights back then, and was tortured by him...... I almost got out of my breath and ......"
"How could he...... Torture sister?" Jiaojiao looked puzzled.
"Ahem...... Mingyue sighed again and said, "Man...... There are a few good things! This King Han is especially excessive! Before he goes to bed, he has to play a lot of tricks, one moment he binds me with a rope, another time he drips me with candle oil, and another time he strangles my neck and suffocates me to death! When he goes to bed, there are even more tricks......
Mingyue was about to continue talking about the unbearable scenes of the day, but suddenly heard someone running towards her door with a "puff", she was too busy to speak, and before long, she heard a rapid knock on the door, only to hear Mother Yang panting and shouting:
"Mingyue! Jiaojiao is here with you? Hurry up...... Tell her to come out...... The guests are coming!"
"Hey, Jiaojiao is here with me...... Mingyue hurriedly pushed Jiaojiao in front of her, and called out the door again: "Mom, don't worry, Jiaojiao has come out!"
Jiaojiao was helpless, so she had to reluctantly go out of the door of Mingyue's bedroom. As soon as she stepped out of the door, she saw that Mother Yang and Pei Caibao were already standing outside the door, Mother Yang was out of breath, and Pei Caibao was standing with her hands in her hands, with a wave of anger beating between her eyebrows.
"Quick! come with me to the embroidery room!" Without waiting for Jiaojiao to speak, Mother Yang hurriedly pulled Jiaojiao's arm and took her to the embroidery room.
......
After Mother Yang and Jiaojiao left, Pei Caibao stepped into Mingyue's bedroom.
"Mingyue, I heard...... Do you want to redeem yourself?" Pei Caibao walked to Mingyue's bedside and asked in a deep voice.
Just an hour ago, in his "chief manager's office", he heard Yang's mother say that Jiaojiao wanted to redeem Mingyue, he was very surprised at the time, and his first thought was to shake his head and refuse.
However, after listening to Yang's mother for a long time, he suddenly felt that it was reasonable for Mingyue to want to redeem herself.
First, Mingyue is twenty-four years old this year, which is not young for the Qinglou women's industry. A woman, no matter how glamorous she is, can't be a prostitute in the Qinglou for a lifetime, and when she is old and decrepit, how can she make a living?
Second, Mingyue was sold into Cuiyun Building at the age of fourteen, began to become a prostitute at the age of sixteen, became a golden-belted oiran at the age of nineteen, and became the top brand at the age of twenty-one. And if Cuiyunlou can let her go out in time, once the news spreads, it will become a good talk in the entire Fengyue Field in Chang'an City, which will only benefit Cuiyunlou's reputation, not harm.
Third, according to what Yang's mother said, Cuiyunlou already has another "cash cow" Jiaojiao, and the role of Mingyue is dispensable. At this time, if you take Jiaojiao's ten years of powder money as the price code, let Mingyue leave, Cuiyunlou can also take the opportunity to make a lot of money, so it is both famous and profitable, why not Cuiyunlou?
Of course, more importantly, Pei Caibao still has an extremely complex emotion for Mingyue in his heart, he always feels that Mingyue is not a simple Qinglou woman, she has an unusual noble temperament that others do not have. Since Pei Caibao and Mingyue had a rare "kiss to Fangze", for many years, Pei Caibao has always been obsessed with her......
If Mingyue can really redeem herself and live a good life as a normal woman from now on, Pei Caibao feels happy in his heart.
So, after Pei Caibao listened to Yang's mother's report, he nodded and agreed to Yang's mother's suggestion on the spot, and agreed to handle the redemption and delivery with Mingyue early tomorrow morning and let her go out.
“......”
At this moment, Mingyue was lying on the bed, raised her head, and glanced at Pei Caibao coldly, wanting to speak, but she didn't make a sound.
Sure enough, Pei Caibao snorted, and then said:
"If you want to redeem yourself, it's not impossible, you just have to ...... Serve me tonight ......"
Mingyue frowned when she heard this, then turned her back and turned away, facing the bed, ignoring Pei Caibao.
Pei Caibao saw that Mingyue did not immediately open his mouth to refuse, and knew that the other party had already moved, so he immediately said:
"Mother Yang told me that you want to redeem yourself, and it's not wrong in the first place! No woman can stay in the Qinglou for the rest of her life. Mother Yang actually asked you for 100,000 taels of ransom silver, which is really unusual! I have already scolded her just now! In the past ten years, you have earned no less than 100,000 silver for Cuiyun Lou, and the debt you owe to Cuiyun Lou has already been paid off......
Hearing Pei Caibao's words, Mingyue couldn't help but turn over again and asked:
"That'...... Pei Ye, if Mingyue served you tonight, can the 100,000 taels of ransom be written off?"
"That's natural, I, Pei Caibao, swear to the sky, you only need to serve me well for one night tonight, 100,000 taels of ransom, and I won't take a penny from Cuiyun Building!"
"So, what about Jiaojiao's sister's powder money?
"Is this delicate fantou money...... Pei Cai said in his heart, if I wasn't for the delicate fantou money, how could I let you go out for nothing? However, he blurted out at this time: "I don't want a penny in Cuiyunlou!"
"That's true!"
"No lie!"
"Why should I believe you?"
"Relying on ......"
Pei Caibao couldn't help but be speechless for a while. He said in his heart, with me as the dignified head of Cuiyun Tower, I could have forcibly put you to sleep tonight! It's just that I think about the "relationship" with you in the past, and I don't want to force you. You really want to redeem yourself, I hope for your well-being, and I agree to let you out. I just wanted to relive that "old love" with you on the last night before you left, why are you so ignorant? Do you have to be forced to do it?!
Pei Caibao's heart moved, but he took out a jade plate from his waist, only to see that the jade plate was crystal clear and ancient, and it was exactly the jade plate that Li Zuo, the king of Han, handed over to him a few days ago.
Pei Caibao handed the jade plate into Mingyue's hand and said, "Mingyue, just because Pei has such a jade plate, okay?"
As soon as Mingyue saw the jade plate engraved with the word "Zuo", her face immediately changed, and she looked at Pei Caibao again, so that she no longer doubted what Pei Caibao said.
Pei Caibao was condescending and said to Mingyue: "The owner of this jade pendant, believe me if I don't say his name, you know it." This jade pendant, he has never left his body, but now he handed it over to Pei. Pei's status in the eyes of this master, Miss Mingyue should guess. Yes, in this Cuiyun Building, what Pei said was equivalent to what the master said. If Pei Mou says to let you go out, from now on, no one will come to chase you......"
Mingyue finally nodded. She was always relieved in her heart before, because she knew that the real owner of this Cuiyun Mansion was the sixth prince of Daqian, King Han Li Zuo, if King Han did not agree to be good to herself, even if she left Cuiyun Tower temporarily, it was difficult to guarantee that Li Zuo would send someone to chase her in the future. She knew that although the world was big, if she wanted to escape the clutches of a prince, it would be more difficult than ascending to the sky. Now, when she saw that Pei Caibao was holding the personal jade pendant of King Han Li Zuo in her hand, she naturally had no doubts about what Pei Caibao said.
"This time, Pei Mou's words, you should believe it, right?" Pei Caibao stood beside Mingyue's bed, with a pair of cloudy small eyes, but at this time, his eyes were shining, staring at Mingyue's chest.
Mingyue looked at Pei Caibao's baldness, and suddenly felt a feeling of nausea in her heart. Although Pei Caibao's head has been crowned, it is only a bald piece, and the hair around it is growing scattered, looking like a head. Mingyue tried hard to restrain herself and not go deep into reverie, she asked Pei Caibao again:
"Mingyue's deed of sale is still in the hands of Mother Yang, Pei Ye ......"
"Early tomorrow morning, I will ask Mother Yang to return the deed of sale to you, and all the redemption contracts with you will be delivered!" Pei Caibao said categorically. It's just that he is talking, and between his eyebrows and eyes, he stares at Mingyue's curvy body......
"Master Pei, please close the door and window......" Mingyue slowly got up from the bed, ready to slowly take off her coat.
"Okay, good ......" Pei Caibao hurriedly turned around, locked the door and window behind him, and by the time he turned around, Mingyue had already removed all the coats on his body, leaving only a thin profane garment.
"Mingyue, you are so beautiful......"
As Pei Caibao spoke, he climbed onto Mingyue's bed as if he was hungry, and hugged Mingyue's trembling body.
......
......
At the same time, in Jiaojiao's embroidery room, Han Wang Li Zuo has already "fought" with Jiaojiao for several rounds.
He only brought one entourage tonight, and took advantage of the cover of night to quietly come to Cuiyun Tower, and walked into the embroidery room that Pei Caibao had already prepared for him with great interest.
He also carried a leather bag in his hand, which was filled with all kinds of hemp ropes, iron cables, iron hooks, iron balls, bamboo tubes, bamboo sticks, candles, chili peppers and other things, which he used every day to "play" with women.
However, as soon as he entered the door of the embroidery room, he was attracted by the superb "stunner in the world" on the bed. He stared at the charming girl's eyes infatuatedly, and walked to the bed step by step, and as soon as his right hand was released, the leather bag had already fallen to the ground. He made a "hehe" sound from his mouth, as if to say, "You are Jiaojiao...... You're so beautiful! I want you...... I want you!"
Naturally, Mao Jiaojiao, who was lying on the bed, saw that Li Zuo, the king of Han, was coming, so she took the lead and performed her unique charm to make Li Zuo seductively obscene and unable to ......
Li Zuo took off all the clothes on his body, jumped on the delicate big bed naked, and pounced, regardless of the collapse of the sky outside the window, he just turned the clouds and rain himself......
After the two "fought for a round", according to the rules of Jiaojiao's pick-up, she needed to let Li Zuo go out immediately, otherwise, if they intersected again, it would inevitably damage the essence in Li Zuo's body and cause great harm to his body.
However, Jiaojiao knew that the other party was an "important guest", and it was inconvenient for her to kick her right foot at this time, so she kicked Li Zuo out of bed.
She let Li Zuo lie on the bed, put on a small coat herself, and got out of bed, but she was very interested in the big leather bag that Li Zuo was carrying.
"What is this?" Jiaojiao shook the leather bag out, only to see a lot of strange things flowing out of it, including long and short hemp ropes, iron cables, iron hooks, bamboo tubes, bamboo sticks, hard whips, soft whips, and so on...... The strangest thing is that there is also an iron mask inside, and if this mask is worn on the face, only the eyes, nose and mouth can be exposed.
Jiaojiao remembered what Shicai Mingyue had said to her, and her heart suddenly became angry. She said in her heart: "I didn't expect that this person is so vicious, he just treats women as playthings, and he has to use so many methods to torture women!"
"Look at this person's style, he relies on himself as a prince, and he doesn't know how many women he has played with and tortured in his life? Tonight, I'll let him try it himself, all the tricks in this whole leather bag!"
"Jiaojiao...... I'm so delicate, I still want to ...... At this time, Li Zuo on the bed slept for a while, his spirit recovered slightly, he saw Jiaojiao who was only wearing a small clothes, and saw her looming graceful body through the small clothes, and his heart was immediately lustful.
Li Zuo got out of bed and pounced on Jiaojiao.
Jiaojiao flashed, like a kitten, and dodged sideways.
Jiaojiao stared at Li Zuo's eyes, and suddenly began to give orders:
"You, go and put on the mask!"
"Okay!" Li Zuo immediately walked over and put the iron mask on his face, revealing only his eyes, nose and mouth. However, his eyes were still staring at Jiaojiao stupidly.
"Light the candle and pour yourself with candle oil!"
"Okay!" Li Zuo picked up a candle from the ground and lit it, pouring wax oil on himself, and let out a cry of pain as he dripped.
"Ahh......h
"You, pick up the whip and whip yourself!"
"Good!"
"You pick up the hook and poke yourself hard!"
"Good!"
"You bring a bamboo skewer and stab yourself in the leg!"
"Good!"
......
Li Zuo is like a puppet, at the mercy of Jiaojiao's command and mercy, he will do whatever Jiaojiao asks him to do, even if he lets him beat himself with a leather whip, beat himself hard with an iron rope, poke himself with an iron hook, and stab himself with a bamboo stick...... He did it all, and slowly, his whole body was already scarred and bloody.
Jiaojiao couldn't bear it, so she ordered, "Okay, will you come to bed?"
Li Zuo put down the bamboo stick, obediently climbed into bed, and hugged Jiaojiao again.
......
......
After several clouds and rains, Li Zuo was so tired that he was panting like a cow, his face was like a blank piece of paper, and Jiaojiao said coldly:
"Let's go!"
"I ...... I'm not leaving!" At this moment, Li Zuo was extremely tired, he was so tired that he couldn't speak, but his eyes were still reluctant to leave Jiaojiao's body for half a step.
"If you don't leave, you'll die!" Jiaojiao said coldly again. She didn't have any emotion with Li Zuo in front of her, but seeing that his spirit was close to collapse, she knew that the Yuan Yang in his body was about to be exhausted, and if he wanted to be happy again, his life would inevitably be lost.
"I ...... I'm not going to leave!"
Unexpectedly, Li Zuo gasped for breath, still unwilling to leave Jiaojiao's side. He lay on the bed, drank a few sips of the wine handed over by Jiaojiao, and when his strength recovered slightly, he turned over again and hugged Jiaojiao tightly......
"Hey, you're really going to die!" Jiaojiao let Li Zuo enjoy her body to the fullest, but she shook her head helplessly and sighed.
"Death is death, I have long wanted to die...... Li Zuo said.
......
......
Outside the window, I don't know when, it has been pouring rain, accompanied by the sound of the rain, there is a constant lightning and thunder.
Suddenly, there was a thunderclap in the sky, which startled Pei Caibao on the bed and sat up. He had just "fought" with Mingyue for a round, and he had fallen asleep, but unexpectedly, in his dream, he saw Han King Li Zuo naked, covered in blood, walking towards him miserably, and as he walked, he let out a cry of pain:
"Pei Caibao, give me back my life!"
Pei Cai was awakened by the thunder, and when he thought back to Fang Cai's dream, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his back!
"Not good!" He faintly felt that his master was in danger, and at this time, he couldn't care about Mingyue beside him, hurriedly dressed and got out of bed, hurriedly walked out of Mingyue's door, and ran towards Li Zuo and Jiaojiao's embroidery room.
He walked in a hurry, and before he could take the jade plaque next to the bed.
At this time, another lightning bolt crossed the window, and the electric light was bright and dazzling, illuminating the word "Zuo" on this jade plaque clearly.
......
