Jian Xiao was sitting in the sedan chair, bumping up and down. It was much more uncomfortable than walking. She originally wanted to walk back to Yunyutang, but she had just acted, and Zhang Qin refused to let her go.
What? Why do you want to return to Yunyutang? Zhang Qin redeemed himself, how could he not come? But he just came, and many people don’t know him. In order to avoid being exposed, it is better to hide in the dark.
Yunyutang is located in Fireworks Alley. It has a towering archway and an atmospheric two-story building. It is filled with flowers and plants and decorated with pink silk and satin. The surrounding air is filled with the aroma of wine and powder, making people intoxicated.
"Miss Jane..."
"Just call me Jian Xiao." Jian Xiao opened the sedan curtain and said to Zhang Qin with a smile.
Zhang Qin was moved by this bright smile and also smiled: "Jian Xiao, just wait here, I'll go."
Jian Xiao nodded. She took a look at Zhang Qin's wallet. It was bulging with money. It seemed that the money must be enough!
Zhang Qin opened the folding fan and walked grandly towards Yunyu Hall. Tianjiao followed behind him. The moment Jian Xiao lowered the curtain, a horse stopped and a young man with a sword came down. He also walked in with a tall and upright posture.
Let Jian Xiao take another look
The sedan stopped at the roadside, and Jian Xiao quickly fell asleep inside. She hadn't slept well in the past few days. The spacious space was enough for her to sleep soundly.
She didn't know how long she had slept. Jian Xiao opened her eyes and found that the sedan chair was still there. She looked out and saw that the bearer was sitting in the shade, taking a nap to make up for the effort. How long has it been? Is there something wrong?
Okay, why don't you go in and take a look?
But this land of flowers and willows has always been off-limits to women. Hey, my predecessor was here anyway, so it doesn't matter if I go in. Jian Xiao got off the sedan, looked up at the three characters "Yunyu Hall", and walked in
It was not as noisy as expected. Although there were many people watching, there were only two male voices shouting.
"Four hundred taels!" A calm and majestic voice
"Five hundred taels!" A gentle and sweet voice
Why is it the same as an auction? Jian Xiao is a little strange, "Give way!" She pushed forward. People were paying attention to the situation in front of them and didn't care about Jian Xiao who was shuttled among the crowd.
Finally, I squeezed to the front, a middle-aged woman with a bucket waist, a flower on her temples, waving a folding fan in her hand, sitting on the stage, her face glowing red.
There was also a man standing on the stage, with his hair tied up and wearing soap orchid clothes. He said enthusiastically, "Five hundred taels. This young man has offered five hundred taels. Is there anyone else who wants to bid?"
That appeal is comparable to "Nine-nine-eight, only nine-nine-eight" in TV shopping. Jian Xiao is a little speechless. No, such a thing can cost five hundred taels? Isn't this inflation! Then isn't it like this?
Wanting more valuable money, Jian Xiao was worried that Zhang Qin didn’t have enough silver, so she started to look around
As soon as Jian Xiao turned her face, she saw Zhang Qin sitting on the tea seat, drinking tea leisurely. Tianjiao stood on one side. She squeezed through the crowd and patted Zhang Qin on the shoulder.
Zhang Qin turned around and said, "Why are you here? Want to know how much you are worth?" Zhang Qin showed his fingers and said, "I can't tell, it's already five hundred taels."
Jian Xiao was stunned for a moment, so it was herself? The one on the stage could only be the madam.
"Sure enough, he is the number one oiran in the capital. I thought he had no rivals, but it turns out there is someone who has fallen in love with this girl." Zhang Qin looked to the other side.
"It's him!" Jian Xiao looked over and couldn't help but be startled. Isn't this the handsome young man who was wearing a sword and riding a horse just now? He had his riding boots turned up and looked wild and unrestrained. There was no expression on his face.
Perhaps sensing Jian Xiao's gaze, the young man turned to look at Jian Xiao, smiled tenderly at her, and Jian Xiao nodded slightly. Could it be that she was Xi'er's old friend?
"Seven hundred taels!" the young man shouted
Jian Xiao and Zhang Qin were stunned at the same time. Neither of them expected that the young man would pay such a high price.
Zhang Qin frowned slightly at this time, and was sweating slightly on the tip of his nose. Tianjiao hurriedly handed out a handkerchief to gently wipe the sweat, and whispered, "Brother, we only have six hundred taels of money left, which is not enough!"
"Didn't you bring a thousand taels with you this time?" Zhang Qin asked
"I spent part of it." Tianjiao glanced at Jian Xiao, "The previous courtesans only had one or two hundred taels, but I didn't expect her..."
What should I do? Jian Xiao was anxious. Her wishful thinking was messed up. Did she really want to leave with that boy?
Zhang Qin glanced at the young man and said softly to Jian Xiao, "Miss Jian, Zhang Qin can only send you here. Do you know that young man?"
Jian Xiao didn't know how to answer. Maybe Xi'er had reached an agreement with this young man, maybe they were really in love with each other, but she really didn't know what was going on.
"Since someone has redeemed the girl's life, I won't take it from anyone else," Zhang Qin said.
"Eight hundred taels! The oiran of Yunyu Hall has lost her virginity to this young man!"
The young man waved his hand, and several strong men behind him put the box on the table. The madam came with a smile as bright as a flower, "Oh, you really have good taste, sir." She covered her mouth with a fan and bit her ear softly, "Xi
Although my son is an oiran, he is proficient in playing music, chess, calligraphy, painting, playing, playing, and singing, but he is not mature yet! We have found the right person!"
The young man was stunned for a moment, then returned to a natural place, "I even saw Miss Xi'er."
"Of course! Xi'er..." the madam's voice echoed throughout the hall, but she soon saw her money tree standing right in front of the stage. She smiled, making all the wrinkles on her face almost fall off with laughter.
, "Xier, come and see this young master."
Jian Xiao turned back to look at Zhang Qin. Zhang Qin opened the folding fan and said, "Congratulations to Miss Jian for finding your right husband, Tianjiao. Let's go!" Zhang Qin turned and left.
Jian Xiao looked at the young man, who was also looking at her, not affectionately, but rather provocatively. The black pupils felt so familiar to Jian Xiao
"Xi'er..."
"My name is Jian Xiao!" Jian Xiao clarified the Madam's title.
"Okay! Jian Xiao is Jian Xiao!" the old bustard said with a smile, "Mom has long said that you can meet a good man. Look at this young master. He is a young and talented man with a handsome appearance. Tsk tsk, look at you standing together. You are a talented man and a beautiful woman.
!”
"Mom!" the young man said, "you also accepted the money. Wouldn't you be unwilling if I asked you to do something?"
"It's easy to talk about!" The madam quickly agreed. With so much money, she would be able to live happily without opening Yunyutang.
The young man cupped his hand slightly, revealing a terrible scar on the tiger's mouth. Jian Xiao's beautiful eyes widened, as if she could see everything clearly from here. Jian Xiao wanted to run away, but was caught by the young man!
The young man smiled and said: "I beg my mother to let Jian Xiao continue to stay in Yunyutang"
