There was a lot of noise at the scene, and those with good deeds had already begun to bid. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"I'll give ten taels!"

"You're here to be funny, at least one hundred taels!"

"Five hundred taels is worth it!"

"Don't think about it without a thousand taels!"

"Zhang Laosan, do you have a thousand taels? As long as you take out a hundred taels of the rest, I will make it up for you for free!" Then there was a lot of laughter, all the people who came here today were regulars, and they were very familiar with each other, shouting so loudly was actually just a casual noise, and the mother of the Red Sleeve Building had not yet come out to speak, and the bidding had definitely not started yet.

After the iris girl danced, she stood quietly in the center of the stage, waiting for her mother to come up and preside over the scene. But it was the jade girl that Second Brother Liu had seen, but she changed into a green long dress.

Yu Niang's face was also smiling like a flower on her head, holding a handkerchief in one hand and pointing at everyone with an orchid in the other, and asked, "Is our iris girl beautiful today?"

"Pretty!" There must be a nursery, otherwise it wouldn't have answered so neatly.

"Thank you uncles for coming to cheer!" Yu Niang lightly made a blessing, and then said: "Everyone knows that the girls of our Red Sleeve Building are the most beautiful in the whole capital, no matter what type of poetry, songs, chess, calligraphy and painting you like, we can always make everyone satisfied!

"Today, the most beautiful girl in our red-sleeved building is going out of the cabinet, my heart is bitter as a mother, and I have worked hard to cultivate her for more than ten years, not only the long national color and fragrance, but also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, everyone knows that our iris red fan dance crowns the entire capital!

The audience was cheering again.

In fact, the iris girl is not as Yu Niang said that she was cultivated in the Red Sleeve Building, she was the boss behind the scenes two years ago who didn't know where to find the town, and soon after she came, she shocked the entire Beijing Division with a red fan dance in the Oiran Contest the year before last, and determined her status as the most beautiful Oiran in one fell swoop, becoming the top brand of the Red Sleeve Building.

However, after becoming an Oiran, he is only willing to be a Qing man, not only does he not sell his body, but he also has to look at the appearance of pleasing talents, and ordinary dignitaries and nobles can't touch it with their hands after spending money. As she gets older, and there are many top brands that have emerged in the past two years, the competition pressure between the Qinglou is particularly strong, and last month she suddenly found Yu Niang and said that she was going to go out of the cabinet.

Yu Niang is also surprised and happy, surprised that Iris herself proposed this matter, I am afraid that I can't stop it, and the red sleeve building will have to find a top card in the future, and the joy is that every time the girl goes out of the cabinet, she will make a large sum of money at one time.

Yu Niang stretched out her hand to grab the iris girl, and slowly walked around the three edges of the stage as if showing off, and then returned to the center to stop. The pressure hand stopped the restlessness of the crowd, and then said: "Our iris is here tonight waiting for everyone to come and join hands, but I don't know which uncle is the most heroic? Everyone also knows that we have spent too much effort to cultivate such an excellent daughter, if we marry out in vain, even if we are willing, we will definitely not be willing, right?"

"We are willing!" The crowd was coaxed again, but in the coaxing, someone began to bid, and there were people who offered any quotations, and it is estimated that even the person who quoted did not believe that such a low price could be won.

There is no reserve price, that is, everyone shouts at will, shouting and shouting that the price goes up. There is a white-bearded uncle who is the most enthusiastic, every time someone shouts the price, he is one tael higher than others, someone out of one hundred taels, he shouts one hundred and one taels, and someone shouts one hundred and fifty taels, he shouts one hundred and fifty-one taels.

"This is Liu Liuye of Badao Villa, it is best to gamble, and often lose hundreds of taels or thousands of taels in our place without changing his color. "Prostitution and gambling are integrated, and people who often enter and exit the Qinglou must also be indispensable to the gambling house, Gao Heipi is most familiar with them, and he explained to his brothers.

Yu Niang still presided over unhurriedly: "Master Liu's bid is five hundred and one taels, is there anything higher?" The usual price of the Oiran is about one thousand taels, and she is not worried that no one will follow behind. Sure enough, someone made a bid for the private room on the second floor, and it was the private room where the young master of the Xie family, who Xu Da had been staring at.

A head poked out of the window and shouted, "Eight hundred taels!" It was not the young master of the Xie family, it was Zhang Yongtai, the son of the Zhang Zhan family of the Zhan Mansion in the East Palace.

This person is one of the most fanatical people who fell under the skirt of the iris girl, and once claimed that he was willing to use the eight-lift sedan chair to marry back to be the lady of the main house, you must know that his father is the third product! Although he himself has not yet become a leader, it must be a matter of time, if anyone marries and becomes a daughter-in-law, it is indispensable to mix up a fate, but then I heard that after being confined to the family for three months, I don't dare to say this anymore, but I continue to come over every day to cheer.

Liu Liuye hesitated this time, he likes prostitution and gambling, but women, it's better to be a little more ripe, such a young girl definitely doesn't taste good, and she will definitely lose money if she spends eight hundred and one thousand. Why don't you come back in a few months? When the popularity goes down, the price will be cheaper, and it will definitely be ripe.

Liu Liuye was about to give up, but who let him sit in the hall on the first floor, and the people around him didn't have much money, but they were the best at coaxing.

"Sixth Master, are you not good?"

"It's only eight hundred taels to let the family ride on the head, how can you do it? It's a big deal not to go to Qianjintai tonight!"

"Zhang Gongzi is imperative to the iris girl, and it's good to raise the price!"

I don't know which sentence persuaded Liu Liuye, stood up and shouted: "Eight hundred and one tael!" and the whole house laughed again, this problem of one or two and one or two is too stingy in people's ears, in fact, a lot of money has been made, eight hundred taels is enough for ordinary people to earn a lifetime, but the momentum is too shabby.

Zhang Gongzi followed almost in seconds: "One thousand taels!"

Liu Liuye was just angry, and when he was out of breath, he sat down immediately, and muttered in his mouth: "Whoever wants to go with him, I can pack Xi Niang for two or three years for eight hundred taels!"

Yu Niang still smiled slightly, the price of one thousand taels was just her lowest bottom line, at least add a little more.

"Zhang Gongzi of Furong Pavilion bid 1,000 taels, is there a higher bid? You must know that the iris girl is known as a beauty once in a hundred years in the capital, and her beautiful dancing posture is even more unbeatable in the world! Don't you want her to dance alone for you alone?"

After a few more minutes, no one raised the price, and Zhang Yongtai on the window of the Furong Pavilion showed a victorious smile on his face, with an expression of ambition.

Yu Niang said a few more exaggerated words, and then another room on the second floor sounded.

"Since what you said is so good, then I'll try one or two too!

A young man also peeked out of the window, holding a folding fan on a cold spring day.

"Gu Ziping, you must go against me, don't you?" Zhang Yongtai stared fiercely at the young man diagonally opposite, and his eyes were about to erupt with fire.

Gu Ziping gently opened the fan and shook it, and said slowly with a smile on his face: "How can this be said to be right, isn't it? Everyone is out to have fun, you love what I want, if you have money, you are the uncle, just now I heard Yu Niang say that the one with the highest price will get it, could it be that you have no money?"

He held the folding fan in both hands and opened and closed it, and then said: "What's more, I love fans the most, and the fan dance of the iris girl is famous in the capital, I want to take her back to teach me how to make the fan not work?"

Xu Da also knew this Gu Ziping, and said to the two: "This Gu Ziping is the brother-in-law of the King of Han, while Zhang Gongzi and his father are the prince's people, and there is friction when they often run into each other." The last time I ate at Shangshui Building, I also participated in the fight. ”

Apparently everyone knows the contradictions between these two people, and now the climax of the-for-tat confrontation is coming, and the restless ones are starting to shout "keep up, keep up" again. However, Yu Niang didn't interject to go in, for her, both sides were guests who couldn't be provoked, just wait to collect the money, and rashly fanning the flames would provoke the fire.

"I'm your uncle!1,100 taels!" Zhang Yongtai scolded and disappeared from the window, in fact, he borrowed money from a friend who was sitting in the same seat. He only brought 1,000 taels of silver with him this time, Zhang Zhan is an official and quite honest, and he is not a magistrate on the ruling side, and there are few ways to get money, and there are even fewer people who can spend money on his son.

The person present is Xie Pi, the son of the Xie family, who has a little money, although his father is only an honest bachelor, but the family has developed well in Mindi through the name of this scholar, and holds the worship of a canal.

After some trading between the two, Gongzi Xie promised to lend 1,000 taels. At this time, the jade lady outside saw that Zhang Yongtai had not shown up for a long time, and was also shouting: "Gu Gongzi in the Rose Hall is one thousand and one hundred and one taels, is there anything higher?"

"What's the hurry, one thousand two hundred taels!" Zhang Yongtai showed his face from the window again, he had food in his hand, and he didn't panic, what did it matter if he borrowed it or not? His father was in charge of the big and small affairs of the East Palace, and he would make an uproar if he gave some convenient money.

Gu Ziping closed the fan, didn't ponder, and casually followed: "One thousand two hundred and one taels!"

"If you have the ability, you can add a little more, don't you have any money?"

"With Liu Liuye Zhuyu in front, I must learn. Gu Ziping beckoned to Liu Liuye, who was laughing below, Badao Villa was quite close to King Han, so the two usually had some friendship. He is clearly teasing Zhang Yongtai, and Zhang Yongtai will not let go if he is sure of it.

Zhang Yongtai also knew that people were just lifting him, and there was no way, who let his weakness be caught? He was deeply attracted from the first time he saw Iris, and he was like a fairy descending to earth, vowing not to marry her. Although he was taught a hard lesson by his mother, saying that he didn't love himself, a Qinglou woman just had fun, and if he really wanted to marry back as a wife, he would break his legs, but he still didn't give up, and today may be his last chance.
