Tang Ning realized that she had misunderstood Mr. Tang.
Although the name "Hongxiu Pavilion" sounds a bit like a brothel, it is actually not a brothel, at least not on the surface.
The guests downstairs were dressed luxuriously and seemed to have extraordinary bearings. They were just listening to the music and watching the dances. There was no erotic atmosphere at all, but elegance was everywhere.
This made Tang Ning more and more curious. Rich Tang who opened a high-end club was more surprising than Rich Tang who opened a brothel.
A spacious and luxurious room upstairs.
The shopkeeper of Hongxiu Pavilion looked at Tang Ning and asked, "Do you have any other orders, Master?"
"No more." Tang Ning shook her head, feeling a little strange about the shopkeeper's overly respectful attitude. She thought about it and asked, "Is there anything wrong with the guy downstairs?"
The shopkeeper bowed and said, "Don't worry, sir, I will take care of it."
Tangning looked at him and couldn't help being surprised.
He had just met the young man downstairs who couldn't get up just this morning. When he was receiving the examination certificate at the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, he was in front of him. The official of the Ministry of Rites treated him with great respect. It was obvious that he had a good status.
And being called "young prince" means that he should be a child of a prince's family, but the fat shopkeeper doesn't seem to care about it at all.
Tang Ning didn't know whether he overestimated the young master's background or underestimated the manager of Red Sleeve Pavilion.
The shopkeeper bowed to him and said, "If the young master has no other instructions, I will leave first."
Tangning walked to the door with him and saw the old beggar leaning against the wall, looking at several women not far away with curious eyes, and occasionally picking up his crotch, looking extremely obscene.
The shopkeeper of Hongxiu Pavilion bowed his hand to him and said, "Young master, if you have any requests, you can give them at any time."
"Any request?" The old beggar's eyes lit up, he pointed at a few women not far away, looked at him and said: "Let them come and dance in my room."
Tang Ning cursed in her mind that she was being dishonest. She waved her hand to the shopkeeper and said, "It's okay. You can go do your business."
The old beggar watched with some regret as the women returned to their respective rooms, looked around again, and said, "This place is nice, and your little sweetheart treats you very well."
"What's your sweetheart?"
"That long-legged girl..."
When did Fairy Tang become his sweetheart? The crooked old guy was always slanderous. Tang Ning glanced at him and said, "Go back to your room and tidy up. We'll go down for dinner later."
When he came up just now, he saw that wine and food were served here.
Downstairs, the young man sat back down and saw the eyes of the people around him glancing at him intentionally or unintentionally. There seemed to be a smile on his face. He slammed the table, stood up, looked around, and said angrily: "Look.
What are you looking at? If you look at it again, I will dig out your eyeballs!"
After cursing like this, seeing everyone looking away and not daring to look again, he sat down again and glanced upward, his expression a little depressed, but also vaguely expectant.
When Tang Ning and the old beggar Peng Chen came down from upstairs and found a table to sit down, the young man immediately came over.
Although he was still angry at the old guy for exposing his scar just now, his hidden disease had never been told to any outsiders, and even the imperial doctor could not diagnose it. However, he could see it at a glance, which proved that this person was extraordinary.
He looked at the old beggar and whispered: "Old man, what you just said... is there anything you can do?"
"Of course there are ways." The old beggar looked at him and said, "It's just that I helped you, what benefits can you give me?"
The young man's eyes lit up and he immediately asked: "What benefits does the old man want?"
This was to admit that what the old beggar had just said was right. Tang Ning couldn't help but take a second look at the young man. People cannot be judged by their appearance, and sea water cannot be measured. This young man looks handsome and has extraordinary bearing. But who would have thought that he is actually a silver man?
Why can't you get up in the morning?
"I'm old and can't remember something." The old beggar thought for a while and said, "If you have any fine wines at home, bring them here. Maybe after I drank them, I suddenly remembered them when I was happy."
Excessive drinking not only damages the liver, but also damages the kidneys. Tang Ning felt that the old beggar's kidneys were not much better. He kept talking about the beautiful girl from the capital all day long. I'm afraid it was just to satisfy his cravings. He had no money and nothing.
In terms of appearance, if you enter a brothel and don't get beaten up, you'll be fine, but you still want to sleep with a girl, and you're dreaming...
The young man thought for a moment, looked at him, and said, "Old man, wait here. I'll go back and get the wine and I'll be right back."
The old beggar waved his hand and said, "No hurry, just remember to deliver it in the next two days."
After saying that, he looked at Tangning and said, "Teach him the secret to strengthening your kidneys."
After being stunned for a moment, the young man looked at Tangning, as if he had met a close friend, and said in surprise, "Is it possible that my brother is also..."
"I'm not."
The young man looked at him with a smile on his face and said, "I understand, I understand..."
"I really am not."
The young man frowned and said: "We are both from the end of the world, but it's boring for my brother to be so secretive..."
The old beggar waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, you two little chickens, please stop being humble to each other."
The young man looked at Tang Ning with a genuine expression on his face.
He sat next to Tang Ning and asked, "Don't you know your brother's name?"
A virgin is a virgin, and being a virgin is not a shameful thing. He and this young man are completely different. What's going on with his expression when he meets his soulmate?
The description became darker and darker. Tang Ning didn't want to continue this issue with him anymore, so she said calmly: "Tang Ning."
"This is Xiao Jue." After the young man announced his name, he looked at him and said, "Brother Tang, what kind of secret book is that..."
Tangning shook her head and said, "I didn't bring it with me."
"It doesn't matter, just go back and get it." A young man named Xiao Jue looked at Tang Ning and asked, "Where is Brother Tang's home?"
"Lingzhou."
"..."
Tang Ning only kept that secret book for future use. After all, he just couldn't use his kidneys for the time being, unlike this young master.
He thought for a while and said: "I still remember there is a prescription in it. I will write it down later. You can try it first. When the provincial examination is over, you can send someone to Lingzhou to get the secret book."
Although they are fundamentally different, he is particularly able to understand his feelings. The bitterness of being looked at with that strange look cannot be understood by those who have not experienced it personally.
"Okay!" Xiao Jue nodded and said, "I'll treat you to this meal today."
The shopkeeper of Hongxiu Pavilion stood aside and said: "Young Master, today's meal will be considered as an apology to the young master."
Xiao Jue slapped his hand on the table, glared at him, and said, "I'll do it if I say so. Are you not giving me face?"
The shopkeeper could only take two steps back and said helplessly: "Then... then just listen to the young master."
This was the first time Tang Ning had seen a person like Xiao Jue. Could this be the legendary dandy from the capital?
Xiao Jue picked up the chopsticks, looked at Tang Ning, and asked, "The second floor of Hongxiu Pavilion is never allowed to let outsiders enter, how can you go up there?"
The Red Sleeve Pavilion is extremely famous in the capital, and the manager behind the scenes has a deep background and is extremely mysterious. Even he is a little afraid of it. Naturally, he is very curious about people who can break the rules in the pavilion.
Tangning thought for a while and said, "Because I know their shopkeeper."
Red Sleeve Pavilion is the property of the Tang family. Rich Man Tang has had a relationship with his father-in-law for more than ten years. Zhong Yi and Tang Yaoyao are as close as sisters. He and Tang Yaoyao are also close buddies who have a close relationship. They can be regarded as half wives.
, the treatment is naturally different from outsiders like them.
Xiao Jue glanced at the shopkeeper not far away and said no more questions, "From now on, we are all friends. If anything happens to you in the capital, just report my name..."
Tangning nodded politely and enjoyed the dance on the stage while eating.
Those women danced with graceful postures and sultry movements. Although they were not particularly explicit, they exuded a different kind of charm, which teased people's heartstrings all the time.
This made him feel a little hot in his body, so he put down his chopsticks, reached under the table with one hand, and straightened his clothes.
Xiao Jue looked at him, then looked down at himself, with a hint of joy on his face, and whispered: "It really works!"
