535 Rejection
In the early morning, the banks of the Sishui River were occupied by maids who were washing clothes. The most important thing in Yangzhou was water. Almost every household had water wells, and even led a stream into the house. Naturally, the maids of wealthy families would not run to the river to wash clothes, so most of the maids who were washing clothes by the river were maids on the flower boats.
These fair-skinned women are bold in style. They pull up their dresses, revealing their white arms and thighs, squat by the water to wash their clothes, while laughing with orioles. When they see the handsome scholar passing by, they often look at them and even tease them a few words.
Erniu didn't have to worry about being teased, but the row of fat and thin waists by the river made the foolish man blush and ears hot. He held a roll of rice paper in his hand and came to the flower boat on the banks of Tongsi Bridge.
"It should be this one!" Erniu Shen looked at the flower boat with his head protruding his head.
"Hey, I'm a big stupid guy... I'm talking about you, what are you trying to do?" Two big-sleeved and round-waisted men on the flower boat poked and scolded him.
This flower boat is the flower boat in Xiuchun Tower. Since Wang Cuiqiao was robbed in Daming Temple yesterday, security personnel have been added to the flower boat.
"I'll look for Miss Wang Cuiqiao!" Erniu said honestly.
As the saying goes, respect Luoyi first and then respect people. When the two men saw Erniu wearing a man's outfit, they naturally ignored it and waved their hands like flying, "Do you think everyone can see you? Let's go and go cool."
Erniu said in a naive voice: "It's not that I want to see Mr. Wang, but my master asked me to deliver things to Mr. Wang." After that, he raised the scroll of paper in his hand.
The two men didn't care. Wang Jia won the courtesan of Jiangnan for two consecutive times, and is the most popular prostitute in Jiangnan. There are countless people who come here. Many scholars have sent their poems and works, hoping to be favored by the beauty.
"Twist the thing over, I'll hand it over to everyone Wang." A man waved his hand gently.
Erniu shook his head quickly and said, "That's not possible. My master has given the instructions to hand over the things to everyone Wang in person."
The man curled his lips and said, "Hey, your master really thinks he is a gangchun. He sends a servant to see everyone, and he wants to see everyone in our king."
Erniu was a little unhappy and buzzed: "My master was an imperial envoy, not a gangbang."
The two men on the boat looked at each other sceptically. Although the guy in front of him was a little stupid, he didn't seem to be stupid. The key is that there is indeed an imperial envoy in Yangzhou City, so the two of them dare not act rashly.
At this moment, a maid wearing an apricot-yellow teeth-pinching vest walked out of the cabin, frowned and scolded, "Miss, she wrote the song until the third update last night and went to bed. What did you make arguing early in the morning? If you wake up the lady, take care of your skin."
The two men quickly said respectfully: "Miss Qiuyan, the silly man under the boat said that their master had something to give to Wang Jia, and he had to get on the boat and hand it over to Wang Jia himself."
Qiu Yan glanced at Erniu, who was tall and big on the shore, was silly and silly, frowned and said, "Our lady is not awake yet. I'll give it to me if you have anything. I'll transfer it to you."
Erniu immediately shook his head like a rattle: "That won't work. My master told me to hand it over to Miss Wang Cuiqiao in person."
"Then come again next time. Even if you come again next time, our lady may not meet you." Qiu Yan said angrily.
Erniu turned around and left after hearing this. It was not that this foolish guy was arrogant now, but that Xu Jin had indeed instructed him to hand it over to Wang Cuiqiao in person.
"Oh... why is this person like this!" Qiu Yan couldn't help but stamp her feet and said in annoyance.
The two men laughed and said, "Haha, why should Miss Qiuyan beg a fool? This fool just said that their master was an imperial envoy."
"What...hey, then, stop!" Qiu Yan jumped onto the shore in a hurry, but the hull was a little far away from the shore. Her feet barely stepped on the shore, and she staggered and fell backwards, screaming at the same time.
"Be careful of Miss Qiuyan..." The two men on the boat screamed in unison.
Erniu subconsciously turned his head and looked at it. He saw the beautiful maid wearing a tooth-pinching vest leaning back, and his hands were slashing hard like a bird. He rushed back with a quick hand and his eyes quickly.
As a result, this fool probably touched the girl's soft breasts and loosened her hands like an electric shock. So Qiu Yan fell down her butt in a strong way, screaming in pain.
"Are you okay?" Erniu asked with blushing.
Qiu Yan took the foolish guy in anger and got up and asked anxiously: "Your master is really Xu Jin, the imperial envoy?"
Erniu scratched his head and said, "Yes!"
Qiu Yan was overjoyed and stared at the scroll of paper in Erniu's hand and said, "What are you going to give to us lady?"
Erniu said in a humming voice: "I don't know either, it seems to be a poem!"
"Mr. Xu's poems!" Qiu Yan covered her mouth in surprise and hurriedly said, "Hurry up, come with me, I will take you to see the lady now."
Speaking of which, Wang Cuiqiao started preparing songs for the Courtesan Competition at the beginning of the year, but unfortunately there are no less than twenty new works, but none of them satisfy her. Seeing that there are still ten days left before the Courtesan Competition, Qiu Yan, as the personal maid, was also quite anxious and suggested that the lady ask Xu Jin for a poem, but unfortunately the lady refused. Now that she heard that Xu Jin actually brought a poem on his own initiative, Qiu Yan was naturally overjoyed.
Qiu Yan took Erniu into the cabin and reminded: "You can wait here for a while and I will invite the lady out."
Erniu Han smiled and nodded, standing there honestly waiting.
This flower boat is on two floors, with Wang Cuiqiao and his servant, as well as Jin Mama, all living on the second floor.
"Qiuyan, what did you call me just now?" Wang Cuiqiao was obviously awakened by Qiuyan's scream just now. She was getting up and about to put on her boots. When she saw Qiuyan pushing the door in, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
This woman's face was a disaster for the country and the people. At this time, she was only wearing white pajamas, with scattered clouds and bright red cheeks, which added a bit of lazy and charming beauty, making Qiu Yan, who was also a daughter, lose her mind.
"Miss, Lord Xu Jin and his servants have sent you a poem, and he said he would hand it over to you in person." Qiu Yan said happily.
Wang Cuiqiao frowned with her black eyebrows like a distant mountain and said lightly: "Qiuyan, give me some reward and send someone away. I said I thanked Lord Xu for your kindness and let the person take the things back."
Qiu Yan said anxiously: "Miss, I haven't found a poem for Mr. Xu. Now Mr. Xu takes the initiative to give you a poem, but why don't you?"
Wang Cuiqiao said lightly: "No need to ask, just do what I want!"
"Miss!"
"Stop talking, go quickly!" Wang Cuiqiao said firmly.
Qiu Yan knew her lady's temperament very well. Although she was gentle and quiet, she was an independent and independent woman. Once she decided on something, it would be difficult to change, so she could only stamp her feet and leave the room and go downstairs.
Wang Cuiqiao sighed lightly and sat in front of the dressing table to start dressing up. The reason why she didn't want Xu Jin's poems was not only because of her arrogance in her bones, but also because of her strong sense of self-protection.
Any popular top brand in brothel will package itself by selling skills but not selling yourself. In fact, it is just a means of waiting for a price and self-improvement. For example, Xiao Yuxue, the previous top brand in Xiuchunlou, did sell her skills but not selling herself for the first time when she became popular, but in the end she still sold her completely, just selling her secretly.
As Xiuchunlou's successor, Wang Cuiqiao should have been unable to escape this arrangement, but this woman is really outstanding. She won the courtesan for two consecutive years at the age of 17 or 18. She is very popular. Xiuchunlou obviously aims to please the owner's appetite, and has not allowed Wang Cuiqiao to really take over the customer until now.
In addition, this year's Courtesan Competition is of great importance, so Xiuchunlou plans to let Wang Cuiqiao participate in another Courtesan Competition. Naturally, she cannot be allowed to pick up customers and comb her. After all, breaking her body will affect her quality and reputation.
It is worth mentioning here that the boss behind Xiuchunlou, namely Xu Dong, the leader of the Hui merchants, probably wanted to encourage Wang Cuiqiao to do his best to win the courtesan, and promised that as long as Wang Cuiqiao won the first place in the courtesan competition, she would let her become a good person.
So for Wang Cuiqiao, this courtesan competition is both a challenge and an opportunity. As long as she wins the courtesan, she can gain freedom. It is undoubtedly a miracle if a popular top card in a brothel can be a perfect person.
Regardless of whether Xu Dong’s promise is effective or not, it is at least a hope for Wang Cuiqiao. It is undoubtedly the best to behave in a perfect manner. From then on, she can pursue her dreams with peace of mind and marry her beloved with a clear conscience.
Because of this, Wang Cuiqiao has always carefully protected herself, never got drunk at the banquet, and is wary of any man who is close to her, neither too close nor too alienated.
As the saying goes, he is dedicated to his work, either a traitor or a thief, Xu Jin suddenly took the initiative to send poems, which naturally caused Wang Cuiqiao's concern, and even if he won the courtesan to be a good man, he would become the canary in the cage of the imperial envoy Xu Da. This was not the life she wanted.
Wang Cuiqiao was originally from an official family, but she became a lowly family because she committed crimes in her family. Although she became a noble family, she was a spiritual nobleman. Therefore, she decisively rejected Xu Jin's gift, which was both out of her arrogance in her bones and to show her attitude. She did not want to owe Xu Jin favors.
