Chapter 264 The Merry Young Master Lies to the Beauty?
Despair with a little hope, hope and then despair, what kind of thinking has such complicated eyes? Zuo Zhou saw it today. Compared to Jiang Biehe, An Yunshan faced off against two exiles from the Red Fire Ant Chamber of Commerce.
For one thing, this brief change in the oiran attracted Zuo Zhou's attention even more.
In the same way, perhaps the interested gaze was sensed by this sensitive woman. The two gazes faced each other far away. She was like a frightened rabbit. She immediately restrained all her sharpness and turned into the depressed poor person again.
"interesting!"
Zuo Zhou murmured softly. Although there was a little smile on his face, no one thought he was really interesting at this time.
An Yunshan and Jiang Biehe looked at each other. In their hearts, as well as in the hearts of Xiao Yuer and Jian Chen, Li Yuanfang was already equated with the knife hidden in the smile.
But Qingqing, who is the most sensitive in cultivating mental power, was a little surprised. She didn't feel any malice from Zuo Zhou. Did he really find it interesting? How could it be interesting? What on earth was this man thinking!
"Twenty thousand taels!" Jiang Biehe is rich, but he usually doesn't shout like this when bidding. This actually conveys two meanings. One is that we are determined to win this oiran, and the other is that we are already angry.
"Twenty thousand one hundred taels!"
The two exiles had smiles on their faces, but they only added a hundred taels to the price. Not only did they ignore you, they even started teasing you.
An Yunshan and Jiang Biehe were stunned for a moment, and then became furious, but this time it was An Yunshan who made the bid, and his deep and slightly old voice seemed to lower the price of the whole Yunlai Pavilion a few degrees.
"Thirty thousand taels!"
"Thirty thousand and one tael!"
Wow! The whole place started to boil. People looked at the two people with caring eyes. What should I say? If you bid normally, it might be okay, but you dare to tease like this. I'm afraid you won't be able to survive in Anqing City.
However, the two exiles may be really confident, not caring about the threat at all, and staring at the oiran on the stage with evil eyes.
The madam swallowed. The figure of more than 30,000 was far beyond her expectation. Although she might have offended two local giants, at that time, it was an auction after all, and she was just acting according to the rules. At worst, she could give more gifts in the future to redeem her.
Impression.
So, when the madam repeatedly confirmed that no one was raising the price, she finally gave up.
"General, Jiang actually has a lot of money. If he kept bidding, it wouldn't be..."
Zuo Zhou raised his hand and interrupted Jiang Biehe's words, "What are you talking about, Master Jiang? I have no interest in this oiran to begin with, so why spend more money? As for Mr. An, after all, he has only been in office for a few years. If he bids at will, it will be worse."
It seems not honest enough. As parents and officials, we still have to put the well-being of the people first, and there is no need to argue with these businessmen who are full of money!"
Although Jiang Biehe's face looked ugly, he was okay. He felt a little more relaxed knowing that Li Yuanfang didn't blame him, but he was deeply impressed by the Red Fire Ant Chamber of Commerce.
An Yunshan's heart skipped a beat. According to his salary, he shouldn't have participated in the auction. He was really angry when he bid just now. In fact, he felt a little regretful after bidding. But Zuo Zhou reminded him that he would not pursue the case. After all,
The princess will be here soon. Although the princess is not here for assessment this time, if you go too far at this time, there will always be obstacles. After all, who hasn't chosen a political enemy?
"What your lord said is absolutely true, I will be taught by you!"
Zuo Zhou laughed and picked up his chopsticks again, "Okay, eat quickly. This is a dish bought with real money, so we can't waste it."
…
In the backyard of Yunlai Pavilion, the old bustard raised his hand and whipped him, pointed at the oiran with red eyes and cursed, "I provide you with delicious food and drinks, and also teach you chess, calligraphy and painting. Is this how you repay me?"
The oiran collapsed on the ground and hugged the madam's legs, "Mom, please let me go. Mr. Li and I truly love each other. Please help us!"
Next to the oiran, a handsome and weak scholar was kneeled on the ground by two strong men. He was the so-called Mr. Li. At this time, he was dumbfounded by this battle. He did not expect that Yun Lai Pavilion would raise such a child.
Lots of thugs.
The madam raised her hand again and whipped Mr. Li. She was not willing to beat the oiran. The two guests were still waiting. If the beating was broken, wouldn't she have to pay for it?
"I used to only think that such a terrible thing would happen in the storybook, but who knew it would actually happen to me. Hey, true love? If you really love him, he should redeem your life, so why would you do such a theft?
"
"Mom wants too much, we can't afford so much money!"
The madam knelt down with a distressed look on her face and stroked the oiran's face, "Silly girl, I don't even have this little money, how can I give you a happy life? Look at those two guests, they are so heroic. What kind of good will you do?
Ah, look at those ransomed fools who are not working in coarse linen clothes on the streets. Not to mention the hard work every day, they can’t make much money. Even if they want to buy a hairpin, they have to ask their husbands in a low voice.”
The oiran's face was filled with tears. His pitiful demeanor made the madam stunned for a moment, "Mom, please help me, I won't pick up the guests!"
The madam came back to her senses and said, "Huh, let me see how strong your true love is. Come on, please hold your hand down. Don't say that your mother is cruel. After all, she has put a lot of effort into you."
.Does Mr. Li really love my daughter deeply?"
Mr. Li endured the pain in his body and nodded quickly, "Heaven and earth can learn from this!"
The madam curled her lips disdainfully and pulled out a machete, "Okay, you should have seen it before. The asking price outside has reached 30,000 taels. I won't embarrass you. I will cut off your hands and feet as a ransom.
Money, not only that, mom will also give you a dowry to send you out."
The oiran smiled with tears in her eyes and said, "Thank you, Mom! Thank you, Mom! Mom is so compassionate!" She looked so grateful that she wanted to kowtow to her.
But the old bustard said again: "But from now on, you, a silly girl, will have to endure hardships and take care of a disabled person for the rest of your life. Have you thought about it and don't regret it?"
The oiran's eyes were firm, "My daughter will never regret it!" Then she looked at Mr. Li, but couldn't help being stunned.
Mr. Li's eyes were full of fear. He was lying on the table and saw that the machete was about to fall. He quickly shouted: "Wait a minute!"
The madam seemed to have expected this and asked disdainfully: "What else do you want to say?"
Mr. Li breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the oiran with a sincere face, "My love for you can be proven by the sun and the moon, but if I lose my limbs, how can I give you a happy life? As the saying goes, two loves exist together.
How can I live day and night for such a long time? Why don’t you, madam, rest here for a while? I will study hard to gain fame, and then I will come to pick you up!"
The oiran was stunned, two lines of clear tears quietly slid down his cheeks, his eyes were blank, only the madam laughed loudly, "Okay, if you are ambitious, then let Mr. Li go out, and I also wish you the best."
Mr. Li can pass the imperial examination and pass the high school, hahaha!"
As soon as Mr. Li heard that he could go out, he quickly bowed to the madam. When he was pushed out by several strong men, he didn't even look back at the oiran.
At this time, the madam looked at the lost character of the oiran again and shook her head, "You are innocent after all. Mom, I have to give away a few of these embroidered pillows to coax girls with your sweet talk every year. Forget it, mom also understands you.
You go back and calm down, put on your makeup again, those two wealthy guests are still waiting for you!"
As he said this, he winked at a certain strong man, who then helped the oiran into the flower room that had been prepared on the third floor. This flower room was decorated like a wedding room and was prepared for newly minted girls, even though it was a brothel.
But of course there are also the rituals and rules of a brothel.
When the madam could no longer see the oiran's back, her face changed and she turned around and ordered, "Break Mr. Li's legs. He dares to cause trouble at such an important time. You've never died before!"
Several strong men clasped their fists and bowed, turned around and went out to commit the murder. The madam then took a breath, adjusted the headdress on her head, and went to entertain the two high-profile guests.
The two exiles seemed to be veterans at this, and they were quite skilled at verbally teasing the madam. However, the highlight of the night was always the oiran's night of red candles. The old madam also noticed the impatience of the two, and immediately said: "Two
Sir, please wait a moment, mother, I will go and hurry you up."
Just when I went out, I saw a turtle slave strolling over, lowered his head and said: "Boss, they haven't touched the wine you gave me!"
The madam was helpless when she heard this. In order to express her apology, she sent Yunlai Pavilion's signature wine to An Yunshan and Jiang Biehe's private room, but now that she has brought it back intact, she is... angry! Trouble.
!
However, the madam breathed a sigh of relief when she thought of the 30,000 taels. At this moment, a maid ran over with a worried look on her face, "Mom is not good, the oiran has run away."
The madam raised her hand and slapped her, "Don't worry, I already knew it and captured you, so why are you just telling me now?"
The maid held her cheek in frustration, "Yes...he ran away again!"
Um?
The old madam was confused and hurriedly ran to the flower room on the third floor. As soon as she opened the door, she saw no trace of the oiran. The red gauze dress she had prepared long ago was piled aside casually, and a rope was tied to the foot of the bed and extended from the window.
Go down.
The madam was furious, turned around and slapped the two strong men in the face, "Aren't you guys guarding the door? Why did you let her run away? Who else has seen her? Why is there a rope?"
The two strong men didn't understand, "There's no one there, maybe they've been prepared for it a long time ago!"
The madam's cheeks turned red with anger, "Just chase her. What are you waiting for? She can't run far without knowing martial arts! Everyone, chase her!"
A group of men and maids and turtle slaves ran out one after another. Naturally, such a big battle could not be hidden from other guests. When they inquired a little bit, they burst into laughter.
However, no one noticed that in the empty flower room at this time, an exquisite figure wearing a noble prince's gown slowly crawled out from under the bed. It was not the missing oiran!
She calmly adjusted her collar, folding fan, belt, crown, etc., and even after taking off her makeup, she still dressed up as a man, with red lips and white teeth.
"It's a pity that time is limited, otherwise I should have painted it darker."
