Lu Bai smiled disdainfully, "Who are you looking down on? Just invite Miss Xiaocui over and tell that guest that we will cover the money he spent today!"
Lu Bai was very generous.
Fang Qianhu hurriedly stopped the waiter who was about to go, "No, we can wait, we can wait."
Who knows how much this person has spent now, or how much he will spend after hearing this. Fang Qianhu thinks it is better to wait.
Lu Bai felt that it was not good to wait, "How long do we have to wait?"
The waiter suggested from the side, "Two guests, why don't you two change to a girl? Miss Liu'er is good, we have just graduated from the cabinet."
"I thought it had just come out of the oven." Lu Bai almost asked if the steamed buns were big. He patted Fang Qianhu on the shoulder, "That's not okay. Our Lord likes the girl that Lord Guan has slept with the most."
Fang Qianhu felt that the waiter looked at him like a pervert.
Lu Bai took out the Jin Yiwei waist card again, "Let's do this. Take a look at this. Can you ask that brother to stop?"
The waiter glanced at the waist badge and shook his head without any hesitation, "No."
Fang Qianhu covered his face.
The Jinyiwei is easy to use in other places, but it is really difficult to use in this corner of the capital. A brick can kill several officials who are bigger than the Jinyiwei, especially in the era when the imperial power is declining and aristocratic families are on the rise.
Especially in this Red Mansion, the royal guards are particularly difficult to use.
Fang Qianhu heard that the emperor was always a bed guest of the Red Mansion girl.
If a girl dares to pin down the emperor, or let the emperor do it on his own, the royal guards, as the emperor's personal soldiers, are nothing in front of others.
Fang Qianhu took Lu Bai away and said, "Mr. Lu, we are still hungry anyway, let's eat first. I guess as soon as the food is served, Miss Xiao Cui will be free."
"No way, that matter can't be finished in an hour or two." Lu Bai said.
That's why he didn't wait.
Fang Qianhu was startled, "Ahem, don't read what's written in the book. Things like scoring twice are all lies."
He has rich experience in this area.
Lu Bai didn't think so, at least he didn't. He and Lu Qinghuan were together for less than an hour and felt that it was a loss. It was so fun. He just unlocked his feet yesterday.
Fang Qianhu pulled Lu Bai to sit down and was about to eat when a waiter came over and said, "Two adults, Miss Hong, please come over and have a talk."
Fang Qianhu stiffened, "Miss Hong?"
The emperor was the guest on the red girl's bed. Because of this, the red girl was the most beautiful in Qinhuai. She was the undisputed top star in the Qin Tower and Chu Pavilion on the Qinhuai River. Therefore, she became famous in the capital and was known to all women and children. Naturally, she had thousands of households.
I also know it and have been fascinated by it for a long time.
It's a pity that as the emperor's servant, he is not qualified to have Miss Hong as his companion.
Now he was very confused. He knew this red girl, but she didn't know him. Why did she suddenly call them over? Did she fall in love with him? This couldn't be better, that's the emperor's woman - hiss, don't say it, it's quite good.
Tempting.
Lu Bai didn't know that Fang Qianhu was being sentimental and fanciful, so he asked the waiter, "Who, who is treating us to dinner?"
He definitely didn't pay for it.
The waiter was stunned, obviously he didn't expect that the person Miss Hong invited was the first thing he was worried about.
After he recovered his senses, he smiled and said, "Of course it's our red girl."
What is dedication? This is dedication. Even though Lu Bai asked such a poor question, the waiter still answered it with full marks, which made people feel like spring breeze.
It's a pity that he met Lu Bai.
"That's not possible. Who are you looking down on? I have to treat you!" Lu Bai said boldly.
When the waiter was stunned, Fang Qianhu grabbed Lu Bai and said with a smile: "Miss Hong is treating us because she thinks highly of us, so we won't steal the limelight."
Did he know that he was the one paying for Lu Bai's treat?
The waiter still smiled like a spring breeze, but no longer talked to them. He just extended his hand sideways and said, "You two, please."
The red girl is on the painting boat.
The painting boat was docked on the pier next to the Red Building. The boat was covered with gauze, and there were shadows inside. When the breeze came, the fragrant breeze came, and the music of the piano came. The music was very soft and ethereal.
Being transported to a very elegant environment, I was actually isolated from the gaudiness of the Red Mansion.
Lu Bai felt that this piano player must be an expert, second only to the piano girl he saw in Yongle City.
They boarded the boat, and as soon as they opened the curtain and entered, Miss Hong was already waiting by the door. She bowed and said, "I have met Mr. Lu."
Lu Bai waved his hand, "No more courtesy."
Seeing that the waiter was about to leave, he hurriedly told him, "As soon as Miss Xiaocui is free, let him come to us."
The waiter was stunned for a moment and then agreed, wondering when did Xiaocui become so popular.
Lu Bai and Miss Hong entered the painting boat. When they looked up, they saw that there were two rows of tables in the painting boat. Next to the tables were soft tables, and there were maids waiting on them.
There were now seven or eight guests. When they saw Lu Bai, they had different expressions, some were curious, and some were worried.
"Hey, Miss Hong, there are guests here." Lu Bai felt relaxed.
Miss Hong nodded and introduced Lu Bai: "This is Lu Yu, the third son of the Lu family."
This Lu family is not the Lu family of Yiqiu Villa. The direct line of the Lu family is currently cultivating in Yiqiu Villa and does not care about the worldly affairs at all. The current Lu family belongs to the collateral branch of the Lu family and can be regarded as the secular power of Yiqiu Villa.
But he couldn't write two characters "LV" in one stroke. As a family member, Lu Yu was still very nervous when he saw Lu Bai.
Lu Bai nodded to him and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, if I don't kill you, you are still not worthy of my action."
Lu Yu froze. He was relieved, but he felt that Lu Bai was looking down on him.
"This is the young master of the Gu family, as his name suggests." Miss Hong pointed at the man opposite Lu Yu.
The young master looked curious about Lu Bai, stood up and bowed his hand to Lu Bai, "Master Lu, when I went to visit my aunt at home yesterday, you happened to be out, and I have always regretted that I didn't have a chance to see her.
"
"You're welcome, you're welcome. We are all a family. If you call me an adult, it will be a big deal. From now on, I will call you Brother Lu." Lu Bai is still very close to the Gu family.
"Uh-" Gu Shu wanted to say that he was actually older than Lu Bai, but after thinking about Lu Bai's achievements now, he felt that it was better for this younger brother to admit it, otherwise it would be even more embarrassing if word spread.
Then, Miss Hong introduced Lu Bai to Mr. Chen Er, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Cheng and several other people. Most of them were descendants of aristocratic families, and even if they were not, they were still talented and knowledgeable, and well-spoken people.
The girls of Qin Lou and Chu Pavilion need these people to support them, especially when the masterpieces of nature are uploaded from the girls' painting boats, the girls' reputation will also rise with the tide, tainted with talent, and then raise their worth.
There was a vulgar saying in the previous life, which was to set things up for things, to drive up prices, and to speak rudely but not rudely. If girls want to become famous, they have to rely on the praise of these talented and beautiful women.
This is the same as the stars in previous lives who needed public relations and self-media.
The only difference is that the threshold is different. The threshold on the bank of the Qinhuai River is still very hard-core. They talk and laugh with scholars, have no idle friends, quote from classics, and occasionally write a few poems.
Unlike stars on earth, just being good-looking is enough.
To Lu Bai's expectation, there were several young eunuchs on the boat, all dressed in green clothes, standing in the corner without saying hello to anyone. If you weren't paying attention, you wouldn't be able to see them.
Lu Bai was surprised at first, but then he understood after he saw Miss Hong in the palace.
The emperor's women still need to keep a close eye on them.
Otherwise, if this red girl is pregnant, the emperor will not know whether she is the prince or not.
Lu Bai nodded to the young eunuchs, and then led Fang Qianhu to sit on the vacant seat.
Miss Hong greeted Lu Bai again, and after leading the others to compliment Lu Bai for a while, they returned to their previous topic - about the poetry meeting. She seemed to be establishing the theme of the poetry meeting. Anyway, she spoke in a formal manner.
Lu Bai was a little weak in classical Chinese and couldn't understand what he was listening to. Lu Qinghuan gave him some extra lessons in this area. Ever since the relationship changed from positive to negative, he often made up for the "oh" and "ah" in the extra lessons.
.
There has been a breakthrough recently, with the addition of a charming "brother" and "husband-in-law", but in fact it is the "little enemy" who talks the most. When Lu Qinghuan says this, it is Lu Bai who does whatever he wants.
For example, I unlocked a new skill yesterday.
Unfortunately, these words are not in classical Chinese, so Lu Bai couldn't quite understand what they were saying.
Fang Qianhu didn’t understand much either.
So the two of them spent all their experience on eating. Not to mention, the red girl was worthy of being a celebrity, and the guest was a young man from an aristocratic family. The food was worthy of their status, and it was delicious, delicious, and Lu Bai and the others enjoyed it.
Happy.
There was a problem, the portion of each dish was too small, not enough for Lu Bai, so there were many cups and plates on the table in front of Lu Bai, and the maids had to keep adding wine and dishes.
The red girl is also considerate.
At first, after sitting down, she would talk to Lu Bai from time to time. Later, when she saw that Lu Bai was preoccupied with eating, she stopped interrupting, and from time to time she would hint to the girl next to her to serve Lu Bai wine and food.
The cups and saucers were removed and taken care of very considerately.
It can be seen that the number one person must have strength and means, and it is not just good looks. He must not only make all the guests feel at home, but also show his talents, which is not something ordinary people can do.
only--
The waiter quickly walked in and told the maid, who came over and told Lu Bai, "Mr. Lu, Miss Xiao Cui is free."
Lu Bai stopped, "So fast, this brother is too useless."
It usually takes such a short time for Lu Bai to switch from studying classical Chinese to what qualities he should have as a musical instrument.
"Uh -" the maid didn't know how to answer, she could only ask: "Master Lu, let her come over, or -"
"Let's go over there." Lu Bai wiped his mouth and stood up.
Miss Hong stood up to see Lu Bai off. Seeing the different expressions of the young masters present, she couldn't help asking kindly, "Young Master Lu, what do you want Miss Xiaocui to do? If you want to drink with me, I can ask some of my sisters to support you."
To support the situation, there is someone who is about to leave the cabinet."
This is said very tactfully.
What Miss Hong actually wants to say is that Lu Bai letting women like Xiaocui accompany him to drink or even sleep with him is equivalent to Duan Yu sleeping with a real beggar. Once word spreads, this reputation will be ruined. After all, it is true that beauties rely on talents to praise them, but talents also
It is a good story to say that you slept with a beautiful woman to highlight your extraordinary status and status.
The reason why she helped Lu Bai was because she knew that Lu Bai's future was limitless, and even the emperor had to be patient to win him over, so she sold him a favor now and made it easier for him in the future.
"No, let's just investigate a case." Lu Bai said.
He bowed his hands to the young masters present and led Fang Qianhu out.
On the way, Lu Bai said: "Old Fang, have you always complained that I spent your money?"
Just as Lao Fang was about to shake his head, Lu Bai rushed to reply: "Today's meal is free because of my favor, which is equivalent to my invitation, so don't have any resentment in your heart, and be smarter when spending money in the future."
"I--"
Fang Qianhu didn't know what to say for a moment. He felt that this person was too shameless.
They quickly entered Miss Xiaocui's room.
Miss Xiao Cui had obviously just worked. Her face was still flushed, and she was wearing cool clothes. She could see the ravine when she leaned over slightly, so Fang Qianhu took a few more looks.
Regarding Fang Qianhu's peek, Miss Xiao Cui stood up and didn't think it was inappropriate. She just felt it was inappropriate when she saw the two of them coming in. "Two people?"
Lu Bai took out his waistband and showed her, "Jin Yiwei is investigating the case."
"Oh." Xiaocui sat up straight and lowered her crossed legs, which caught Fang Qianhu's eyes, "It turns out to be Jin Yiwei."
She was a little uninterested, after all, she couldn't get any money for cooperating with the investigation.
Lu Bai reminded her, "I just came out of your hot girl's house, so you'd better know everything and tell me everything, and cooperate with us in handling the case, otherwise I'll let her put on your little shoes."
Miss Xiao Cui looked unbelieving.
However, when the waiter brought in tea and the big shopkeeper of the Red Mansion came in and greeted Lu Bai warmly, she believed it and said hurriedly: "Don't worry, sir. I will tell you what I know. I will tell you what I don't know - even if I guess."
"Ahem." Lu Bai waved his hand, "There's no need to guess."
"No need?" Miss Xiao Cui remembered that Jin Yiwei liked to solve cases by guessing.
There are often Jin Yiwei on the streets of Nancheng, stopping those vendors who are selling vegetables and pigs in the city, guessing that they are undercover agents from the north, and then extorting money from them, or taking a few vegetables to make soup.
This is what a Jin Yiwei said last time.
He also said that if you become a royal guard, you will have everything except a wife to go back and make soup.
"No need, I am a good official." Lu Bai used the coachman's words to praise himself.
He then asked: "Do you know Mr. Guan, the supervisor of Xishui Pass?"
Miss Xiaocui pulled the silk scarf on her shoulders to cover her chest to prevent Fang Qianhu from peeking at her. She felt that now was a sacred moment and she was helping a good official solve the case.
As for why she also thought Lu Bai was a good official, it was because Lu Bai looked at her like a piece of wood.
"I know, he is a regular visitor to my place." Xiaocui nodded, "But he hasn't been here recently, what happened to him? Has he been found guilty of corruption? Sir, I have always wanted to report it, but you also know that I am in this business.
, if word gets out, which dignitary would dare to come to my place to sleep with me."
"Well--"
Lu Bai felt that this girl Xiao Cui was really cool when she let go.
"I actually want to ask him if he often brings his friends to your place to drink and discuss matters?" Lu Bai didn't ask why the supervisor was corrupt and perverted the law. That doesn't belong.
