"My lords, you have been waiting for a long time."
"Girls, this is Mr. Xiao, the minister of the Ministry of Rites. Mr. Xiao is young and promising. He served as the captain of the Yuanzhou Zhenwu Division. In just five years, he has accumulated enough merits. Now he is transferred back to Jingzhou.
Zhenwu Si serves as the master of a hundred households, and his future is bright. You must take good care of Mr. Xiao, and your benefits will be indispensable. "
In a large box in the front yard of Jiaofangsi, the madam walked in with a group of pretty girls.
Jiaofangsi is a private profit-making organization established by the imperial court, and its backstage is the Ministry of Rites, one of the six ministries.
The Master Xiao in the box at this moment is Xiao Ziyan, the son of Xiao Han, the Minister of Rites.
Kou Xuance, the governor of Yuanzhou Zhenwu Division, had a close relationship with Xiao Han.
With the blessing of this relationship, Xiao Han asked Xiao Ziyan to go to Yuanzhou and join the Yuanzhou Zhenwu Division.
There are people above, and Xiao Ziyan is naturally prosperous in Yuanzhou.
After cultivating with countless resources, he has advanced to the Iron Bone Realm at the age of only thirty years old.
After being promoted to the Iron Bone Realm, you will naturally be eligible to be promoted to the Hundred Households of Zhenwu Division.
No, through Xiao Han's operation, Xiao Ziyan returned to Jingzhou Zhenwu Division again and promoted him to the position of Lord of 100 households in Jingzhou Town Wu Division.
If in the past the Jingzhou Zhenwu Division was full of adults, it would naturally be difficult to make a fuss about it.
However, due to the battle of Tiankui City, more than a dozen lords of a hundred households died in the line of duty, which gave Xiao Han a lot of room to operate. Xiao Ziyan successfully became a lord of a hundred households under Qianhu Zangfeng.
After hearing the madam's introduction, the girls' eyes couldn't help but light up, and then they all gathered around.
"Master Xiao, I would like to propose a toast to you."
"Mr. Xiao, do you like mountaineering or playing in the water?"
"Mr. Xiao, my family congratulates you on your promotion. I'd like to toast you with this glass of wine."
"."
The girls of Yingying Yanyan immediately surrounded Xiao Ziyan, and then tried every means to attract his attention, hoping to let him climb into their big bed tonight.
For them, Xiao Ziyan's words in front of his father Xiao Han may affect their life's destiny, so naturally they dare not show any indifference.
In the eyes of many ordinary people, they are unattainable beauties.
But only they know that in the face of absolute power, one sentence can often change their lives.
In the box, in addition to Xiao Ziyan, there were also ten captains he had just accepted after being promoted to Baihu.
Seeing how these girls wanted to hang out with Xiao Ziyan, the ten captains present were all filled with envy.
There is no way for a captain like them to get such preferential treatment from the girls.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh, people with backgrounds are different, girls just throw themselves into their arms.
Surrounded by so many girls, Xiao Ziyan's face looked a little ugly.
How could he like something like this?
Because he was the son of the Minister of Rites, the people who served him in the Yuanzhou Jiaofang Division were all newly promoted oirans.
Compared with the oiran who served him in Yuanzhou, these girls in front of him were naturally beyond his discernment.
Just when one of the girls handed the wine glass to his mouth, Xiao Ziyan impatiently slapped the glass away.
"roll!"
Xiao Ziyan pushed the girl around him out.
Seeing Xiao Ziyan's unkind expression, the madam hurriedly winked at the girls.
The girls understood, and then exited the box with stern expressions.
"Master Xiao, are you dissatisfied with anything?"
The old bustard smiled and said: "Mr. Xiao, if there is any place where the reception is not good enough, I would like to ask Mr. Xiao Haihan. Mr. Xiao, if you have any orders, just give them. As long as I can do it, I will definitely go and make arrangements for you."
.”
She used to be an oiran in the Jiaofang Department, but as she aged and her beauty faded, she took another path.
Because he has good eyesight and his mouth is like honey, he knows how to receive guests and please them, so he serves as the madam in the Jiaofang Department.
But for a big shot like Xiao Ziyan, there is no doubt that just one word can make her lose everything in front of her.
"Old Madam, do you think a group of people like this can get rid of me?"
Xiao Ziyan glanced at her and sneered: "Or are you feeling tired of staying in Jiaofangsi and don't want to do it anymore?"
Hearing Xiao Ziyan's words, the madam's face couldn't help but change, and then he said in a trembling voice: "Master Xiao, what are you talking about? What else can I do if I don't receive the work sent to me by the Secretary of the Jiaofang?"
"Master Xiao, I really don't understand what you mean. Please make it clear to me, Master Xiao. I will try my best to do it for Master Xiao!"
If she lost the reputation of the Madam of the Jiaofang Si, this life of fine clothing and fine food would be gone from her in an instant.
Maybe you have accumulated a lot of wealth over the years, but there will always be a day when everything comes to nothing, right?
When that day comes, how will she deal with it?
According to her thinking, she would have to work in the Jiaofang Division for at least five years and live frugally before she could earn enough wealth to enjoy her life.
Xiao Ziyan said calmly: "Even if I am in Yuanzhou, I have already heard about the beautiful name of Miss Meiji, the teacher of Jingzhou Jiaofang."
"But today, my master hosted a banquet for his subordinates in Jingzhou Jiaofang Division. I didn't see any of the oiran girl Meiji from Jingzhou Jiaofang Division and the other three oiran girls."
"Is it because I feel that I am humble and unworthy of several oiran girls coming over to perform music to cheer me up? Or is it because Mei Ji thinks that she is now the number one oiran in the Wei Dynasty and thinks too highly of herself?"
"I think you don't want to do it anymore. If you don't want to do it, someone is watching your position!"
When the old bustard heard this, he couldn't help but reveal a wry smile.
Only then did she understand the main reason for Xiao Ziyan's anger.
It's just that Miss Meiji is at Mr. Su's place now, and Mr. Su is also hosting a banquet in a box not far away.
Coupled with the fact that Su Yu gave him a lesson last time in Lotus Garden, the Madam was undoubtedly very jealous of Su Yu.
And even if she calls, will Miss Meiji come over?
If Xiao Ziyan was made to wait for so long and Meiji still didn't come in the end, Xiao Ziyan would probably be furious at that time, right?
But how should we deal with this matter now?
Begging Meiji to come over and play a song for Xiao Ziyan to cheer him up?
Can Mei Ji come?
Last time because of Liu Wenbo's incident, Su Yu was not the only one to be offended, even Mei Ji lost any respect for her.
Just thinking about the last time Su Yu slapped him in front of everyone, a fire rose up in the old bustard's heart for no reason.
She was used to being pampered and pampered in the Jiaofang Division, but she had never been treated like this by Su Yu.
Although the other party was promoted to the position of 100 households, there was no backstage behind him.
Should I take this opportunity to instigate Xiao Ziyan to deal with Su Yu and avenge Su Yu's slap that night?
Thinking of this, a glint flashed in the old bustard's eyes.
She sneered and said: "Master Xiao, you also know that courtesans have great autonomy in the Jiaofang Division and are not subject to the control of the Jiaofang Division. If they are unwilling to come, then there is nothing I can do."
"As for the Miss Meiji that Mr. Xiao mentioned, she is in Mr. Su's box tonight. Mr. Su has just been promoted to the rank of 100 households, and Miss Meiji went over to play the piano to entertain her."
Xiao Ziyan was startled when he heard this, and then asked in confusion: "Master Su? Is he the one who luckily killed Su Yu, one of the twenty-four solar terms?"
Now that Su Yu's name has spread throughout the Zhenwu Division, he has naturally heard about it.
It is undoubtedly an extremely rare thing for a body refining realm warrior to be promoted to a hundred households.
The madam nodded, and then said: "Yes, that's Mr. Su."
Having said this, the old bustard's eyes flashed, and he said with a meaningful smile: "This Mr. Su is amazing. He joined the Zhenwu Division for less than half a year. First, he was promoted to captain, and at the promotion banquet that night, he was promoted to captain.
Miss Mei Ji was invited as a guest of the house, and it became a good story in Tai'an City."
"I really didn't expect that in just a few months, he would be promoted again and become a man of 100 households."
"How old is Mr. Su now? I'm afraid there is a great possibility that he will be promoted to Qianhu in the future."
"I have to say that Meiji's vision is vicious."
Hearing what the Madam said, Xiao Ziyan's expression suddenly turned cold.
As the son of Xiao Han, he was promoted to a hundred households at such an early age, which is already considered a very fast promotion speed.
But now, a lucky guy happened to appear, and his light was completely covered up.
Now the Zhenwu Division is full of people talking about Su Yu, and it is undoubtedly difficult for him who is used to being in the spotlight to accept this fact.
He is just a body-refining warrior who has been promoted to hundreds of households by luck. Why should he be overshadowed?
Since you have been promoted to a hundred households with your cultivation in the Body Refining Realm, you have overshadowed me.
Then I will let all four oirans from Tai'an City's Jiaofang Division climb onto my bed and overwhelm you again!
"go!"
Xiao Ziyan said lightly: "Go to their box and tell Meiji that Mr. Xiao is here to invite you. If she doesn't come, she will bear the consequences!"
Hearing Xiao Ziyan's words, a glimmer of light flashed in the old madam's eyes.
But she said with a bit of embarrassment on her face: "Mr. Xiao, let me try it, but I can't guarantee whether it will work. You also know that although the oiran is a member of the Jiaofang Division, but in the
While she is serving as an oiran, there is no way to force her to do things she doesn't like."
"snort."
Xiao Ziyan drank the wine in one gulp and sneered: "Oiran? As long as she dares not to come tonight, in a few days she will no longer be the oiran of the Jiaofang Division."
As long as he goes back and talks to Xiao Han to elect the next oiran in advance, and then engages in inside operations, what if you are the number one oiran in the Wei Dynasty?
I let you be the oiran, and then you can be the oiran.
If I don’t want you to be an oiran, then you are not!
The madam was secretly happy, but her face was troubled and she said, "Okay, I'll go over and ask her."
Anyway, she had told Xiao Ziyan in advance that if Meiji didn't want to come, she wouldn't be blamed.
At that time, he might even see Xiao Ziyan teach Su Yu a lesson, and then avenge himself for the bad breath that night.
Immediately, the madam swung her hips and walked out of the box, leading her maid Lan Ju towards the box where Su Yu and others were.
Everyone in the box where Xiao Ziyan was sitting looked at each other in shock, and they couldn't help but feel a sign that a storm was coming.
Xiao Ziyan didn't seem to notice at all. He filled a glass of wine and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry for making everyone laugh. Come on, let's have a drink. Tonight, everything we spent in Jiaofangsi will be gone.
It’s all paid by Xiao!”
Hearing Xiao Ziyan's words, everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up.
Xiao Ziyan doesn't like the girls who were just kicked out, but that doesn't mean they don't like them.
For example, the girl who was brought here by the madam just now is already top-notch in terms of age, figure, and appearance.
Maybe not as good as the four famous oirans from the Jiaofang Division, but it was enough to make them dream.
If he could ask two girls to sleep with him tonight, it would probably make them remember it for a long time.
Everyone raised their glasses together, and then said respectfully: "Congratulations to Mr. Xiao for being promoted to 100 households. This glass of wine is for your humble duty. You can do whatever you want!"
"Congratulations, sir, on your promotion to the Hundred Households. You've done your humble job. You can do whatever you want!"
"Congratulations on your promotion to 100 households."
"."
At the same time, the Madam also pushed Su Yu's box away with his maid Lan Ju.
In the huge private room, there were five tables set up. Except for Su Yu, girls from the Jiaofang Division were arranged around everyone to serve them personally.
One by one, everyone came over with wine glasses to toast Su Yu and congratulate him on his promotion to the post of Baihu.
Su Yu also welcomed everyone who came, and drank glasses of wine one after another. The atmosphere in the box seemed extremely lively.
"Old Madam, what are you doing here?" Yin Qianshun couldn't help but ask.
"Oh, I just came over to see if there is anything you need, so I can send the people below to make arrangements immediately. Don't neglect the adults."
The old bustard smiled and said: "My lords, if you need anything, just tell the people below."
"I know, I know, go ahead and do your work. I will call you when necessary."
The old bustard nodded, but did not turn around and leave immediately. Instead, he came to Su Yu's side and said respectfully: "Master Su, congratulations on your promotion to 100 households. I hope you will do my best for the unpleasantness that happened last time in Lotus Garden."
Don't take it seriously, even the villain was temporarily blinded by lard."
Su Yu glanced at her and said calmly: "What happened? I don't remember."
Although he didn't like what the bustard did last time, Su Yu also understood that the bustard couldn't help himself.
If it weren't for Liu Wenbo, the madam wouldn't have said such inappropriate words.
Now that he has been promoted to a hundred households, the madam is naturally worried that he will turn over the old scores.
The old bustard then said: "Master Su, I'm here. I have one more thing to say to Master Su."
Su Yu frowned slightly and said, "What's the matter?"
The old bustard said with a smile: "In another box not far away, there is Mr. Xiao. Like Mr. Su, he has just been promoted to the position of 100 households. He is leading the adults under his command to host a banquet in the Jiaofang Division."
"This Mr. Xiao hopes"
The madam couldn't help but take a few steps back, fearing that what she said later would cause Su Yu to slap her again.
She continued: "Master Xiao hopes that Miss Meiji can go over and perform a song to cheer up everyone. Master Su, do you think you can be accommodating?"
But at this time, Meiji's song had ended.
Everyone's eyes turned to Su Yu.
Perhaps in the eyes of the madam, this sentence means asking Meiji to sing a song to cheer up the occasion.
But what they heard in their ears was undoubtedly equivalent to asking Mei Ji to go and sleep with her.
As long as he is a man, it is impossible for him to agree.
Even Lu Ze and others couldn't help but look a little weird, and then they all looked at Su Yu, wanting to see how he would handle the matter.
Hearing what the Madam said, the smile on Su Yu's face suddenly froze.
Facing everyone's gaze, Su Yu said calmly: "You shouldn't ask me about this, but ask Mei Ji."
After saying that, Su Yu looked at Mei Ji who had already stood up to greet her, and said with a chuckle: "Honey, the madam wants you to go to another box and play a song for others to entertain."
Hearing Su Yu call her "baby" in front of so many people, Meiji's pretty face couldn't help but blush.
She said coquettishly: "I'm not going, I'm just going to stay here with you."
The little womanly posture that Mei Ji showed off undoubtedly stunned everyone in the box, and they suddenly felt that the girl in her arms had become an ordinary commodity.
Tonight, Meiji's long hair was pulled into a bun, revealing her pretty and fair gooseneck.
The already impeccable pretty face was covered with light makeup, which made her facial features appear even more bright and attractive.
She wore a tight black dress that perfectly outlined her graceful figure.
A pair of captivating and charming eyes made her whole person look alluring.
Everyone was envious of Su Yu from the bottom of their hearts and felt sour.
Su Yu had everything he wanted in life, whether he was promoted, made rich, or slept with a courtesan.
Su Yu took Mei Ji into his arms, then glanced at the Madam, and said lightly: "You must have heard it just now. Mei Ji said you can't go, so you can go back."
When the old bustard heard this, his face suddenly became a little embarrassed, and then he continued: "Master Su, this Master Xiao has quite a lot of background."
"His father is Xiao Han, the Minister of Rites."
"Master Su, you must also know that the Department of Education is established by the Ministry of Rites, and the election of Oiran is the Ministry of Rites."
"And Mr. Xiao also said when he came that if Miss Mei Ji dares not to go there tonight, she will bear the consequences."
After hearing what the Madam said, Meiji's pretty face couldn't help but change.
She naturally knows how important the Ministry of Etiquette is.
In the eyes of these women, the Ministry of Etiquette is the sky above their heads.
"Su Lang."
Meiji couldn't help but glance at Su Yu, and then said: "How about I go over and give you a caress."
Before she could finish speaking, Su Yu stopped her from continuing and said with a chuckle: "I won't let you do anything you don't like."
After saying that, Su Yu looked at the old bustard again and said calmly: "Tell me how much it will cost to redeem Mei Ji. I will redeem Mei Ji tonight!"
Su Yu's understatement sounded like thunder exploding in Mei Ji's mind, and she couldn't recover for a long time.
Su Yu, want to redeem yourself?
Her eyes widened and she stared at Su Yu blankly. Her lips twitched slightly, and mist began to accumulate in her captivating eyes.
When she was transferred to the Jiaofang Department, she thought her life would be extremely miserable.
But since she heard that she had become the oiran of the Jiaofang Division, she had the opportunity to choose her own husband.
She worked hard to make herself excellent, worked hard to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, practiced dancing, and did anything that could make herself excellent.
As for learning these things, only Xiangxiang knows what price she has paid over the years.
All she did was because she wanted to become the courtesan's oiran and then have the opportunity to choose men by herself.
She knew that she had worked hard for the first half of her life just to get such an opportunity.
Once she chooses a heartless man, all the efforts she has made over the years will be meaningless.
When she identified Su Yu in her heart, she was also worried and hesitant.
She even made up her mind in her heart that if she really made the wrong choice, Su Yu would leave her after finishing her meal.
Then after she lost her reputation as an oiran, she would renounce herself from the Jiaofang Division, and she would never serve another person again.
She was waiting for the day when Su Yu would stand out and redeem herself.
She was even thinking that the day Su Yu redeemed her life, she would become the happiest woman in the world, right?
But now that day has really arrived, she is a little at a loss and doesn't know what to do.
But the tears seemed to have dug a dike and kept flowing down the cheeks.
She tried hard to maintain a smile and wipe away the more and more tears, but the tears just couldn't be stopped and kept overflowing from her eyes.
It turns out that what my mother said is true. When people are truly happy, they will cry uncontrollably.
It turns out that for her, the most romantic words of love in the world are the words that the man she identifies with wants to redeem her life in front of many people.
At this moment, she knew that everything she had done over the years was worth it.
He didn't pick the wrong person, he really came to redeem himself.
As Su Yu said these words, the madam was stunned. Except for the horses under Su Yu's command, everyone else was also stunned.
You must know that it is not a small sum of money to redeem a new courtesan.
And the courtesan will also change with the years, and her appearance will get older. It is definitely better to choose to have her for a period of time than to have her for a lifetime.
For men, it is obviously unwise to spend a lot of money on an investment that is destined to depreciate.
Su Yu glanced at Mei Ji, who was crying in his arms, and said with a chuckle: "Baby, I redeemed your life, shouldn't you be happy? Why are you still crying? So many people are watching."
Meiji hit his shoulder with her hand and hummed softly: "Humph, I'm happy to!"
"If you cry all over your face, then I don't want it anymore." Su Yu joked.
When Mei Ji heard this, she couldn't help but pinch him and scolded him: "How dare you!"
Seeing Su Yu and Mei Ji flirting in front of everyone, everyone's expressions were complicated.
In any case, the fact that Su Yu was willing to spend a large sum of money to redeem Mei Ji really gave everyone a deeper understanding of his views.
How can a person like him be so bad if he doesn't give up all the time even after he is prosperous and rich, and even spends a lot of money to redeem Mei Ji?
On the contrary, the madam on the side had a complex expression and glanced at Mei Ji with envy.
She has also been a prostitute, and she knows very well how many people come to Jiaofangsi just for fun. Maybe the love words promised to the girl in bed tonight will be completely forgotten afterwards.
Now that Su Yu has been promoted to the position of Baihu, he immediately comes to redeem Meiji's life. It can be seen that Meiji has entrusted an evil person to her, and her eyes are vicious when she recognizes people.
The old madam said somewhat sarcastically: "Mr. Su, Mr. Su, it is a very rare thing in the Jiaofang Department to redeem the body of an oiran. I, I am just a person who greets people and sends them off. I can't be the host."
"Look, I. I will ask someone to talk to the person in charge of this matter in the Ministry of Etiquette. When they tell me the price of Mei Ji's redemption, I will come over and inform Mr. Su."
"If Mr. Su still wants to redeem Meiji's body at that time, the Ministry of Rites will take Meiji's body deed."
Su Yu nodded and said: "Well, go ahead and do your work, and then just tell me the price for Mei Ji's redemption!"
In his opinion, ten thousand yuan crystals is equivalent to two hundred thousand taels of yuan crystals, which is more than enough for Mei Ji.
"Okay."
The madam nodded and hurriedly exited the box.
The entire box had already become silent because of Su Yu's words.
The men present respected Su Yu's responsibility and courage, while the women envied Mei Ji from the bottom of their hearts.
If it weren't for their background, why would they want to stay in such a love affair?
Who doesn’t want to choose one person to stay at home and raise their children?
They just don't have this chance.
But now that they saw Meiji crying so hard, they understood Meiji's mood at the moment very well.
The Jiaofangsi will introduce a new oiran every year, either the former oiran is re-elected, or a new person replaces the former oiran.
But over the years, how many courtesans have died a good death in the Jiaofangsi?
In the end, weren't they just like them, numbly serving every dignitary who came here in the Jiaofang Department?
Let’s just say that the madam was also the oiran of the Jiaofang Division back in her day.
Now, just over ten years later, her figure is out of shape, and the flattering smile she has shown in front of customers all year round has left lingering crow's feet in the corners of her eyes.
There are only a handful of people who can live like a bustard.
And this is the final destination of most courtesans.
"What are you guys looking at me for?"
Facing the complicated looks from everyone, Su Yu chuckled and said, "Come and have a drink."
"Brother Su, let me call you Brother Su one last time. Maybe when we meet again in the future, I will have to call you Master Su."
"I, Yin Qianshun, have never convinced anyone in my life, but you are willing to spend a lot of money to redeem Miss Meiji's body. I, Yin Qianshun, am really convinced. Come, have this drink, I, Yin Qianshun, respect you!"
Yin Qianshun filled a glass of wine and said solemnly.
"Brother Yin is laughing."
Su Yu laughed dumbly and said: "I just did what a man should do. Meiji was willing to follow me before I made a fortune. This is my Su Yu's blessing. If I, Su Yu, have been in chaos after being promoted,
If you give up, wouldn’t that be a heartless guy?”
"Here, take one gulp."
After Su Yu and Yin Qianshun finished their drinks, Lu Ze also stood up with a wine glass in hand and said with a smile: "Brother Su, you just joined the Zhenwu Division not long ago, and we have already met."
"I have watched you come all the way, being promoted to the rank of school captain, and now being promoted to a hundred households. I can see your character for all to see."
"I, Lu Ze, am lucky to have a friend like you in my life. Let's drink this one!"
"."
Another round of people came to toast, and Su Yu also accepted all comers, and the atmosphere in the box became warm again.
At the same time, compared to the banquet where Su Yu was sitting, where everyone was enjoying themselves, the atmosphere in the box where Xiao Ziyan was sitting was extremely subtle.
The Madam reported everything that had just happened in Su Yu's box to Xiao Ziyan in detail.
"A ransom for Mei Ji?"
Xiao Ziyan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, then looked at the madam and said calmly: "According to the past, if someone wanted to redeem the body of an oiran, how much would it cost?"
The madam thought for a moment, and then said: "Mr. Xiao, you also know that the time an oiran can serve is very limited. Once the oiran's position is taken away by someone else, the oiran's ability to make money will undoubtedly fall to the bottom."
"For a well-known courtesan like Mei Ji, her ransom price is estimated to be as high as one hundred thousand taels of silver."
"One hundred thousand taels of silver?"
Xiao Ziyan was startled when he heard this, frowned, thought carefully, and murmured: "One hundred thousand taels of silver is five thousand yuan crystals. According to the reward amount given on the reward list, kill one of the twenty-four solar terms.
You will receive a reward of 10,000 yuan crystals.”
"Ten thousand yuan crystals is equivalent to two hundred thousand taels of silver."
After thinking about it for a moment, Xiao Ziyan looked at the old bustard and chuckled: "When you send people to the Ministry of Rites to inquire about Mei Ji's ransom value, tell them that Mei Ji is currently the most popular, and she is vaguely ranked as the number one oiran in the Wei Dynasty.
Name, her redemption price must be 20,000 yuan crystals, otherwise how can she be worthy of her status as the number one oiran in the Wei Dynasty?"
Twenty thousand yuan crystals?
The madam's brows couldn't help but jump.
This is a total of four hundred thousand taels of silver.
A girl from the Jiaofang Division only earned fifty taels of silver in one night.
Four hundred thousand taels of silver, what is this concept?
There are only two to three hundred girls in Jiaofangsi. How long does it take for Jiaofangsi to earn such a large sum of money?
If such a ransom price was really quoted to Su Yu, he would definitely be offended to death.
The old bustard couldn't help but said hesitantly: "Master Xiao, are these 20,000 yuan crystals too high? I'm afraid Master Su will know that we are deliberately targeting him."
"Deliberately targeting him?"
Xiao Ziyan sneered and said: "What are you afraid of? He is just a body-refining realm warrior who has been promoted to a hundred households under special circumstances. He has no background and no background, and he has no backing. If you target him, what can he do?"
"If he doesn't have 20,000 yuan crystals, why should he redeem the life of the number one oiran in the Wei Dynasty?"
"Then we might as well wait until Mei Ji retires from the position of oiran, and then use the money to redeem her life. It will be cheaper then."
What he wants is that Su Yu can't redeem Mei Ji now.
Since you won't come over tonight, I will ask my father to nominate a new oiran tomorrow and take away your position as oiran.
When the time comes, you no longer have the title of oiran, and you, Meiji, will have to lower your dignity and be forced to pick up guests.
When he got tired of playing, he naturally didn't care whether Su Yu redeemed Mei Ji or not.
Hearing Xiao Ziyan's words, the madam bowed and retreated, then went to find someone to go to the Ministry of Rites, and told him that this was Xiao Ziyan's order. After hearing this, the people in the Ministry of Rites would naturally understand what to do.
Compared to Su Yu, Xiao Ziyan, as the son of the minister Xiao Han, was someone she could not afford to offend.
When half an hour passed, the Madam led the staff of the Department of Etiquette and walked into Su Yu's box.
At this time, in the private room, the banquet was coming to an end.
After having had enough wine and food, everyone hugged the girl next to them and prepared to go to the next show.
The old madam smiled flatteringly and said: "Master Su, this is Master Wen from the Ministry of Rites. Hearing that you want to redeem Meiji's body, he came here specially. He will also tell you the specific amount of the redemption amount for Meiji."
This was an idea she came up with on the spur of the moment.
By asking people from the Ministry of Rites to talk to Su Yu, you can greatly avoid attracting Su Yu's hatred.
When gods fight, aren't they mortals who suffer?
The Madam thought about it carefully and felt that what she said to Su Yu in the Lotus Garden was indeed inappropriate.
Since the thing itself was my fault, I deserved the slap I received.
If I still don't know how to praise myself and think about how to avenge that slap, I might cause a lot of trouble.
Xiao Ziyan was someone she couldn't mess with. Could it be that Su Yu was a humble person she could mess with?
How can someone who is willing to spend a huge amount of money to redeem Mei Ji's life be someone she can afford to offend?
Wen Hang is a middle-aged man who is just a minor official in the Ministry of Rites.
As for Su Yu, a member of the Zhenwu Si Baihu, although he was not an official of the imperial court, he had great real power and was someone he could not offend.
As long as Su Yu sends out his Zhenwu Guards to find fault with him or his family, he will be in trouble in the future.
Therefore, after listening to the description of the person sent by the old bustard, he knew that this matter was very difficult to handle.
On one side is Xiao Ziyan, the son of the Minister of Rites, and on the other side is Su Yu, a hundred households in Zhenwu Division.
They are not big shots that he can afford to offend.
But the superiors had to ask him to come over and give Meiji a specific redemption figure.
Isn't this just asking him to attract Su Yu's hatred?
He is an ordinary scholar, and there are too many ways for a warrior to take revenge on him.
Wen Hang cupped his fists and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Mr. Su on your promotion to the Hundred Households of Zhenwu Division. Wen is here to congratulate Mr. Su on your promotion."
Su Yu nodded and said with a smile: "Master Wen, I wonder what the price negotiated by the Ministry of Rites is to redeem Mei Ji?"
Meiji on the side held Su Yu's arm tightly, her pretty face looking a little nervous.
Smelling the fragrance coming from Meiji's body, Su Yu couldn't help but feel a little distraught.
Su Yu patted her hand to reassure her.
It's just that it concerns her at this moment, so how can Meiji feel at ease?
She was deeply afraid that the Ministry of Rites would report an astronomical figure, a figure that Su Yu could not afford.
Facing everyone's gaze, Wen Hang sighed softly in his heart, and then said: "According to the discussion of the Ministry of Etiquette, Miss Meiji is now well-known, and she is vaguely known as the number one oiran in the Wei Dynasty!"
"With Miss Meiji's current earning power, she can make a net profit of tens of thousands of taels of silver for the Jiaofang Secretary by just hosting a banquet."
"As for her ransom price, it was four hundred thousand taels of silver!"
Four hundred thousand taels of silver?
Everyone in the entire box immediately burst into an uproar when they heard this number. They were all in disbelief at this number.
Even if Mei Ji is famous now, she can't hold cocktail parties every night to make money for the Jiaofang Division, right?
Even if she is willing, can the dignitaries of Tai'an City be willing?
One or two days, maybe everyone is willing to participate and pay the bill willingly.
But you hold it every day, and I can only watch but not eat, so no matter who it is, they won’t pay for it for a long time.
Oiran, her more important identity is that she can bring huge fame to Jiaofangsi.
There are no oirans in other amorous houses, but only in Jiaofangsi. It allows those dignitaries to clearly distinguish between Jiaofangsi and brothels, which makes people feel a sense of superiority from the bottom of their hearts.
When Mei Ji heard this number, her pretty face couldn't help but change.
Su Yucai had just been promoted to 100 households, how could he have so much money?
Meiji's pretty face couldn't help looking at Su Yu apologetically, and said, "Su Lang."
"It doesn't matter."
When Su Yu heard this number, there was no surprise on his face.
Every move in the entire Jiaofang Department was within the scope of his spiritual consciousness.
And everything Xiao Ziyan and the Madam said in the other box was naturally within the scope of his detection.
"Xiao Ziyan, I gave you a chance, but you came to provoke me. The reason why you can embarrass me here is just because your father is the Minister of Rites. What can you do when you and your father are gone?
Are you here to embarrass me?"
A flash of light flashed in Su Yu's eyes, then he looked at Wen Hang and chuckled: "Master Wen, I'm really sorry that I asked you to come here in person at such a late hour."
"I don't have enough money at the moment. I plan to come back to redeem Mei Ji after I collect enough money in a few days."
Hearing Su Yu's words, Lu Ze couldn't help but stood up and said with a smile: "Brother Su, I have some money in my hand. Why don't I lend it to you for emergencies? You can redeem Meiji's body first and pay it back later.
I?"
"Yes, brother Su, if you don't have enough money, I have some here."
"I also have some Yuan Jing with me."
"I have it here too."
"."
Several captains present came forward and said.
Su Yu couldn't help but shook his head.
The money borrowed must be repaid.
But how can he repay the 10,000 yuan crystal he owes?
Should I continue to kill one of the twenty-four solar terms?
If it could be said to be a fluke once, but twice or three times, wouldn't it arouse the suspicion of the senior officials of the Zhenwu Division?
What he has to do now is to keep a low profile as much as possible and wait for the limelight of his promotion to 100 households to pass quickly.
And the main reason for this incident was Xiao Ziyan and the father of the Minister of Rites, Xiao Han, who was behind him.
As long as this trouble is solved, the Yuan Jing in his hand will not only redeem Meiji's life, but also be enough to buy a mansion.
If something can be done with 10,000 yuan crystals, why should he be taken advantage of and spend an extra 10,000 yuan crystals? And then look for opportunities to make money to plug the hole?
Since we can't solve the problem now, let's solve the culprit behind this incident.
Su Yu smiled and said: "Thank you for your kindness, but the money you borrow must always be repaid. How can there be any reason to lend money to someone to redeem themselves?"
"Then I'll wait a little longer. When I save enough money, I can redeem Meiji's life."
Immediately, Su Yu looked at Wen Hang again and said with a smile: "Master Wen, I'm really sorry that I made your trip in vain."
Wen Hang shook his head and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. In that case, Wen Hang will leave first."
"Master Wen, walk slowly."
After Wen Hang left, Su Yu looked at Mei Ji and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, I don't have enough money now, please wait a little longer."
Mei Ji nodded obediently. She also felt that the redemption price was a bit outrageous.
After all, she is still the oiran of the Jiaofangsi, so she doesn’t have to worry about the Jiaofangsi forcing her to do anything she doesn’t want to do.
Then Su Yu looked at everyone, chuckled and said: "Everyone, if you want to stay at Jiaofangsi tonight, all the expenses will be paid by Su. Su was too drunk, so he left early."
When everyone heard this, they all had ambiguous smiles on their faces that only men can understand.
"Master Su, a spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold."
"Mr. Su, please pay attention to the bed. Don't rush tomorrow. I'll hear that you rocked the bed again."
"Hahaha"
Su Yu: "."
Facing the teasing glances from everyone, Mei Ji couldn't help but have a flush of blush on her pretty face, and it spread towards her pretty gooseneck.
"Farewell."
Immediately, Su Yu waved his hands to everyone, and then under everyone's gaze, he got up and left the box, going downstairs towards the backyard.
At the same time, Xiao Ziyan also walked out of the box and looked at Su Yu who was walking to the backyard with Mei Ji. He couldn't help but have a mocking smile on his lips.
"Boy, in a few days, Meiji will no longer be an oiran." Xiao Ziyan murmured in a low voice.
Su Yu seemed to feel something in his heart, he couldn't help but pause in his steps, then raised his head and looked at Xiao Ziyan who was standing in the corridor upstairs.
The two people's eyes met at one place across the distance.
"Xiao Ziyan, I don't know whether Mei Ji will be the court lady tomorrow, but you have to pay the price for your words tonight."
A sneer flashed across Su Yu's lips, then he hugged Mei Ji and disappeared from Xiao Ziyan's sight.
At the same time, the clone in Su Yu's home suddenly opened his eyes, got up and walked out of the room, and then rushed in the direction of Jiaofangsi.
