Chapter 39 Exchange Conditions
Tang Yunning came to his senses and spread his hands: "I don't have ten thousand taels of gold, but I just can't bear to Miss Lian accompany that Young Master Xue and save you!"
"You don't thank me, do you really want money from me?"
"So you are no different from that Young Master Xue. You are both people who want to pay credit." Alena chuckled, her voice as crisp as a silver bell, "We have no such rules in Xinyue Tower."
Tang Yunning took off the jade pendant from her waist and stuffed it into her hand: "Then I will use this to pay off the debt first, will I be able to succeed, Miss Lian?"
Alena flipped the jade pendant into her palms a few times, then put it in her arms: "Let's just bear with it."
While the two were joking, two little girls with double rings appeared in front of them, lifting up a bamboo curtain, revealing a long wooden ladder.
"The distinguished guest is here, Yue Niang is welcome."
The two of them are only eleven or twelve years old, and they look more steady than adults.
A memory that did not belong to her appeared in Tang Yunning's mind. She remembered that when Su Hua was so old, she was standing here like them.
When I entered the door, a fragrant wind came to my face.
The veil hangs down, and thin white smoke spun out from the golden furnace of crane heads.
A beautiful woman wrapped in brocade leaned on the couch and was very beautiful, with a cherry mouth and a sandalwood nose. Her skin was as white and smooth as if there was no flaw, making people unable to tell their age.
She was shaking a sandalwood folding fan in her hand. The fan was small and exquisite, with a picture of peach blossoms on her head, which was obviously written by a famous artist.
"What a rare guest." Seeing Tang Yunning come in, she chuckled, "I thought you forgot about our Xinyue Tower."
"How dare you? I'll come to visit Yue Niang today."
Tang Yunning was a little surprised when she saw Yue Niang.
In Su Huan's memory, Yue Niang was born like this. Unexpectedly, after several years, she had not changed at all, and she was even younger and more beautiful than before.
The distance between her years is probably a mystery that no one knows.
But she was familiar with Shangjing and even the entire Tiansheng matter.
In front of this man who could be called an old fox, Tang Yunning put away the relaxation and wantonness in front of Alena, and became a little cautious.
"Sit down." Yue Niang glanced at her and asked her to sit down.
In the small stove next to it, the tea soup was already cooking. Alena put a bowl on Tang Junning and pushed it in front of her.
The few of them first talked a few words, and Alena said, "I heard that you were married to King Rui by the queen. King Rui is not easy to get along with. I'm afraid I'm going to make things difficult for you a lot."
"The King Rui made things difficult for me, but the empress is the one who makes the most difficult for me now."
Tang Yunning looked at Yue Niang and said seriously: "It's really not to be hiding it. I really have something to ask for when I came to find Yue Niang today. The day before yesterday, I received the queen's secret order, asking me to secretly investigate Tianchun Tower. But I looked at the map of Shangjing, and I don't know where this building is. Did Yue Niang hear it?"
"You even asked you to check the matter about Tianchunlou. It seems that the queen trusts you very much."
Yue Niang took a sip of tea and looked at her indifferently: "Tianchun Tower is not on the map, but a secret pavilion that will only appear at night. If you really want to check it out, even if you can save your life, you will probably lose half of it."
"But if I don't check, my life will not be saved by the queen." Tang Yunning sighed.
Although with her ability, it is not difficult to break free from the queen's control.
But this Tianchun Tower that could not be found has aroused her interest.
"Now that you have left Xinyue Tower, you are no longer my own. How do you exchange such a big secret with me?" Yue Niang narrowed her eyes.
Yue Niang is a businessman. She can maintain Xinyuelou until today. Naturally, she will not be such a kind person. Everything is naturally based on interests.
"My grandma Yue has a condition." Tang Yunning was not surprised.
Yue Niang silently and stretched out a finger: "Since you have called for a high price of 10,000 taels of gold today, but what you have recorded on paper, please make up for the 10,000 taels of gold."
Tang Yunning said in surprise: "Ten thousand taels of gold?"
She turned her head and looked at Alena, but Alena blinked at her, signaling her not to tell the story of the jade pendant.
Yue Niang was extremely strict under the rule. All the women under her command could not hide gold and silver or sell jewelry.
Therefore, when Alena saw Tang Yunning coming today, she knocked on her snatch.
Tang Yunning naturally would not betray her, and said, "Yue Niang, although I am in Prince Rui's Mansion, ten thousand taels of gold are not a small amount."
This Yue Niang is indeed greedy for money!
Yue Niang frowned: "If it's someone else, I'm too lazy to pay attention to it even if it's 100,000 taels of gold. Gold is not the most important thing, I'll give you some time. I heard that King Rui had raised two big snakes privately, so you can get some snake blood for me first."
Tang Yunning's heart skipped a beat. She is not the eldest lady of the Tang family or Princess Rui now.
If it were the past, it would not be difficult for her to raise 10,000 taels of gold, but now, she has already turned over the things from Su Hua, and she has no self-confidence at all!
It’s easy to say about Jinzi. She had suffered the two giant pythons before.
I was chilling when I thought about it and asked her to take blood. I wouldn’t say whether it could be hidden from Xiao Tingyan. Wouldn’t I just use her life to joke about it?
"Why, this is stumping you? It's getting more and more unreliable!" Yue Niang looked at her entangled appearance and mocked her.
"The two snakes, Xiao Tingyan, were very nervous, and I'm afraid it wasn't that easy."
Yue Niang chuckled and said, "You can't even do this little thing. Don't get involved with me Yue Niang in the future. I feel embarrassed to say that I was the one who went out of Xinyue Tower."
Tang Yunning had no choice but to agree, and when he went downstairs, he was full of thoughts.
Alena followed her and said to her softly: "Ahhh, I envy you before. You can be sent to the palace by Yue Niang to serve the queen. And I can only stay here as a dancer. Maybe one day, she will give it to a nobleman."
"Aren't I also given it to a noble man now?"
When Tang Yunning saw her complaining to her, she had to comfort her.
Alena sighed: "Now it seems that the outside world may be even harder. Is this our destiny?"
It was Su Huan who experienced the years of Xinyuelou with her, not himself.
Facing this Hu Ji who was no different from a stranger to her, Tang Yuning didn't know what to say for a moment, but Alena had already recovered and said, "By the way, after you left, two people came to you a few times, but I don't know what happened."
"Who?" Tang Yunning asked in confusion.
Alena thought for a while and shook her head: "I don't remember."
She pointed to her cheek: "But there is an aunt with a mole here. She also left something and said that if you come back, I'll leave it to you and you can take it with me."
She took Tang Yunning back to the house, searched in the cabinet for a while, and found something.
