Chapter 44: Rhymes on the Qinhuai River (12)
Red Rose instructed Yahuan to bring fruit cakes and haode tea for Zhang Lingyu to enjoy, he brought the pipa and played, she sang while playing, and the smile full of sincerity was even more delicate. Red Rose was playing and singing, and heard someone in the hall shouting, and after a while, Sister Hong hurriedly ran in, and said with a bitter face: "Rose, it's not that Sister Hong has to ask you to pick up guests again, this is your old customer, Uncle Qi from Dongcheng, he said that he has to ask you tonight." Red Rose stopped singing and said, "Sister Hong, I didn't say that I would only accompany this Uncle Long tonight. Zhang Lingyu also said: "Sister Hong, you tell him that I will have a night tonight." Sister Hong said: "I said, he didn't listen, he told you to finish your work and leave, otherwise he would be unkind to you." Zhang Lingyu hahadaxiao said: "Why, seeing that I am a bully from outsiders, if you really want to annoy me, give him a sword to pierce through the chest." As he spoke, he stood up and drew his sword as if he wanted to do so. Sister Hong hurriedly persuaded: "Uncle, you are angry, I will go and talk to him again." Zhang Lingyu said: "You just go and tell him that I bought the red roses." Sister Hong didn't believe it: "You are going to redeem the roses, it's true." Zhang Lingyu said: "Of course it's true, I don't have the time to joke with you." Sister Hong said, "That's a lot of silver." ’
Zhang Lingyu said: "As long as you don't ask for a price, silver is not a problem." Sister Hong looked at the rose and said, "Are you willing to go with this uncle?" Red Rose said, "It's okay to go with him, but I have one more condition." The old bustard said: "It's good that someone redeems it for you, what conditions do you have to talk about, what conditions do you have, see if this Uncle Long agrees." Red Rose said, "If you want to redeem me, you have to bring Yunxiang with you, otherwise I won't go anywhere." The old bustard said: "Yunxiang's strong goods refuse to accept customers, and I raise her at a loss every day." I'd love to bring it to her. I don't know if Uncle Long wants this product. Zhang Lingyu said: "I still say the same thing." As long as it's not a sky-high price, I want it, if I buy another woman to go home, I have to fight, it's rare that her relationship is so good, and it saves me a lot of trouble, Sister Hong, you can make a price. ’
Sister Bustard Hong smiled and said, "I don't ask you how much you want, the red rose will cost five thousand taels of silver, and the strong goods Yunxiang will also cost two thousand taels." Zhang Lingyu smiled: "Isn't it seven thousand taels, I'll give you the silver right away and I'll lead people away." The old bustard smiled and said, "Uncle Long, wait a minute." Sister Hong, although I am the old bustard of this Yihong Courtyard, I can't be in charge of everything, I still have to discuss it with the big owner. Zhang Lingyu said: "Then you go and discuss, I'll wait here." The bustard listened and left.
Zhang Lingyu said: "Rose girl, who is the big proprietor that the bustard said. Red Rose said: "It's Huang Chenglin, the leader of the Black Tiger Gang, the backstage of these dusty places is either an official family or a gangster, and ordinary people can't do anything at all." Red Rose called Yahuan to call Yunxiang over, and after a while, Yunxiang came to Red Rose's room, and Red Rose asked Yahuan to retreat, and said to Yunxiang: "Yunxiang girl." This is the hero I told you, you can call him Uncle Long. Yun Xiang walked up to Lingyu and whispered, "Thank you Uncle Long for saving me." No matter how much money I spend, as long as I can get home, I will definitely return the money to my uncle. Zhang Lingyu said with a smile: "It's not important if you don't pay back the silver, you can just treat the red roses well in the future." Yun Xiang said: "Don't worry, uncle, I will treat her like a sister." Zhang Lingyu said: "This is the best, from now on you just say that you are only willing to go with me, and I will do the rest." ’
After a long while, the old bustard came back and said, "Uncle Long, our host said that you can redeem Red Rose and Yunxiang, if no one is competing with you, seven thousand taels is okay, but now that Uncle Qi outside wants to give eight thousand taels, you see what to do." Red Rose and Yun Xiang both said that they were only willing to go with Uncle Long. The old bustard said: "Uncle Long, you see if this will work, as long as you give out the same amount of silver as others, the two of them will be taken away by you." Zhang Lingyu said: "Okay, it's settled, thank you Sister Hong for giving me this face." Then he said to Red Rose and Yun Xiang: "You wait here, I will go and meet this Uncle Qi." After saying that, he took the sword in his hand and followed the old bustard to the hall.
There were a lot of people gathered in the hall, all waiting to see the excitement, only to see a person who was different, in his thirties, tall and tall, wearing a high-quality black silk jacket, holding a silver fracture fan, sitting there with his head held high and his eyes empty, this is Uncle Qi. Zhang Lingyu shrunk his head and hunched down the stairs and walked to the front and said, "Which one is Uncle Qi, dare to fight with Uncle Ben for women, you are impatient." Uncle Qi stood up and said, "It's Uncle Ben, don't think that if you hold a sword, I'll be afraid that you won't succeed, Uncle Ben is not scared." Zhang Lingyu said: "I want to kill you without much effort, killing you, a person who doesn't know martial arts, is not a hero, don't you want to gamble with me for more money, let's see who has more money." Uncle Qi said: "Bet on it, who is afraid of whom." Zhang Lingyu asked the old bustard: "Sister Hong, do you have credit here." Sister Hong smiled and said, "We never take credit here, and if we don't have cash, we have to have a silver ticket. ’
Uncle Qi said, "Can I go home and get it?" Zhang Lingyu said: "You don't have any money on you, what are you talking about here." After speaking, he took out a stack of silver tickets from his bosom and counted seven thousand taels, and put it on the table: "Sister Hong, count it." Sister Hong picked up the silver ticket and counted it, and said with a smile: "One tael is exactly seven thousand taels." Sister Hong said, "Uncle Qi, what about your eight thousand taels." Uncle Qi said: "I only have 1,000 taels now, so I'll go back and get it right away." Sister Hong smiled at Lingyu and said, "Uncle Long, you have a lot of them, let him go back and get one." Zhang Lingyu said: "It's okay to take it once, if he can't exceed my silver, I will lead people away, if anyone dares to stop Hugh for being ruthless under the sword." Sister Hong laughed and said, "Yes, yes, I won't change it again." Uncle Qi left angrily.
When Zhang Lingyu saw that Uncle Qi was gone, he used the sound transmission to enter the secret and said to Tong Yunfei: "Second brother, Jihua has changed a little, you go and follow him, and tell him not to take a tael of silver into Yihong Courtyard." When Tong Yunfei heard this, he immediately settled the bill and paid the money and walked out, and Lihua smiled: "Uncle, why are you in such a hurry to leave, just spend the night here." Tong Yunfei smiled: "Beauty, I have something urgent, I'll come back next time." With that, he left Yihong Courtyard. Zhang Lingyu said: "Sister Hong, you can put away the silver ticket, I'll go play with my beauty, and when that Uncle Qi comes and calls me, I'll add silver to you." Sister Hong smiled and said, "Uncle Long, you go and get busy with you, don't worry." Zhang Lingyu still shrunk his head and walked upstairs. A middle-aged man in the hall said: "It's good to have silver, it's so cool to buy a big beauty and have enough fun at home." (To be continued......)
