Tang Ning looked at the charming woman and wondered whether she didn't explain clearly or she didn't hear clearly.
Or maybe they just regretted not giving the money. The total is only one thousand taels, isn’t it?
So he looked at her and said again: "Doesn't the leader of the poetry club have a prize? Should I get the prize myself, or should you give it to me?"
Su Mei looked at him and said, "The prize is me."
Tang Ning's expression changed slightly.
Whether in ancient times or modern times, human trafficking is illegal. Especially in ancient times, the penalties for human traffickers were extremely severe.
According to Article 39, Chapter 3, Chapter 5, Chen Code, “Anyone who sells human beings, sets fire to graves, or commits adultery shall be punished by death.”
Human traffickers are sentenced together with murderers, arsonists, and prostitutes, which shows the seriousness of the crime of human trafficking.
Article 39 The second supplementary article also clearly states that anyone who sells slaves or servants who are not one’s own slaves or servants will be punished with the punishment of beating. The punishment of beating means dismemberment after death. Neither the seller nor the buyer can escape the law.
severe punishment.
Tangning looked at her and asked with some uncertainty, "Isn't it a thousand taels of silver?"
Xiao Jue looked at him as if he were a fool.
If one thousand taels of silver could buy me an hour alone with Miss Su, I don't know how many people in the capital would fight to their death for this opportunity.
Now that such an opportunity is placed in front of him, he actually still thinks about the one thousand taels of silver?
Su Mei was stunned for a moment before she realized what she was doing. She looked at him with a very meaningful look and explained: "In addition to the one thousand taels of silver, the leader can also spend an hour alone with me."
"Then you send the silver to Hongxiu Pavilion, and forget about the second one." He thought just now that Xiao Jue had lied to him or that Tian Tianju wanted to regret it, but now it seems that is not the case, a thousand taels of silver is enough, and she
It's useless to spend an hour together...
No, it’s not that it’s useless, it’s that he doesn’t want to use it. The difference between being useless and not wanting to use it is the difference between him and Xiao Jue.
Xiao Jue looked at him no longer as if he was looking at a fool, but simply as if he was looking at a fool.
When the maid behind Su Mei heard this, her expression also changed.
Everyone in the capital knew that the leader of the Lantern Poetry Club had the opportunity to be alone with Miss Su Mei for an hour. If the leader only wanted money and gave up the second item that everyone wanted, what would others think of her?
Su Mei looked at Tang Ning for a long time before she said, "Sorry, I either want both or neither. This is the natural rule."
Since it was a natural rule, it was not easy for him to break it. Tangning thought about it and said, "Can the second one be converted into silver?"
Su Mei looked at him, a smile suddenly appeared on her face, and asked: "So how much silver do you think the young master should convert it into?"
"I think it works out to..." Tangning thought for a while and then said, "Let's follow the rules of Tiantianju."
The woman in front of her looked at her in a strange, familiar way.
At this moment, Tang Ning thought of Tang Yaoyao. When she looked at him like this, it meant that he was going to be in trouble.
In addition to thinking of Tang Yaoyao's eyes, I also thought of her instructions.
Don't mess around with others outside.
Is it considered philandering to be in the same room with another woman for an hour?
It probably doesn't count.
But to be on the safe side, Tangning shook her head, looked at her and said, "Then I don't want it anymore."
Losing money is a small thing, losing integrity is a big thing. Peng Chen was watching from the side, and the old beggar was watching from the side. If Xiao Yi Xiaoru or Tang Yaoyao asked them what they did for an hour that night.
, he was speechless.
Su Mei looked at him, still with a smile on her face, and asked: "Master, are you sure you don't want it?"
Although she was smiling, her smile had an air of repulsion from people thousands of miles away.
People began to gather around him, Xiao Jue tugged on his sleeves and winked at him.
Xiao Jue usually gave the impression of being carefree, but his expression at this moment was a bit serious. Tang Ning looked at the crowd gathered around her and seemed to understand something. She looked at Su Mei and nodded: "Then I'll bother the girl for an hour.
."
The smile on Su Mei's face spread and she said: "It's not really a nuisance. Master, please wait here for a moment while I go down to prepare."
Tang Ning and Li Tianlan were invited to a room again. Xiao Jue just stepped into the door and looked at him and said, "Are you crazy? If you don't want to win, why do you write so many poems?"
"Write whatever you want..."
"Either don't write it. If you write it, you must abide by the rules of Tianranju. If you win and you don't want a reward, where can you put the face of Tianranju?" Xiao Jue shook his head and said, "You just came to the capital and you still don't understand.
The twists and turns involved are naturally not as simple as they appear on the surface."
Even Xiao Jue said so. It seems that this natural residence must have a large background. Tang Ning also realized just now that if he just left like this, it seemed to be a bit of a mess.
He had no grudges with Tian Tianju, and they even gave him a diamond-level membership card that exempted him from paying bills. It would be a bit unreasonable and unscrupulous to mess with others.
He looked at Xiao Jue and asked, "Who is this Miss Su?"
Xiao Jue shook his head and said: "You don't know that the relationship network of Tianranju in the capital is extremely complicated. Many powerful officials have close ties with it. Miss Su is not only the superficial leader of Tianranju, but also a famous figure in the capital."
beauty……"
"It's quite beautiful." Tangning nodded, and when she saw Li Tianlan's gaze looking over her unintentionally, she added, "But saying that the capital is famous is a bit exaggerated. It's not even close to Miss Li. We're going to the lantern festival tonight.
That's when I saw at least two people with similar looks to her..."
"You know nothing!"
Before he finished his sentence, the old beggar couldn't help but interjected: "That little girl is not only beautiful, she is also naturally charming. How can it be compared to any other woman? If you have the opportunity to practice with her in the future,
Those few secret books I gave you will help you know her..."
Tang Ning has realized a truth long ago. When there is a woman by your side, never say good things about another woman. No matter whether these two women have a relationship with you or not, it doesn't matter whether they have a relationship or not. Remember this.
That's right.
People like the old beggar who care about orphans don't understand this truth, so Li Tianlan's eyes turned from Tang Ning to him.
A servant walked in from outside the door and said, "Sir, come with me. Miss Su is waiting for you upstairs."
Peng Chen stood up, looked at the old beggar and asked: "So Su Mei is not simple, will she be in danger?"
"Danger?" The old beggar glanced at him and said, "If this is dangerous, I would rather be in danger every day..."
Xiao Jue looked at Tang Ning who was walking out, and then at Li Tianlan who was indifferent. A trace of doubt appeared on his face at first, and then he turned to admire again.
Tangning followed the servant to a room upstairs.
The woman named Su Mei had changed into a dress that was cooler than the one she wore just now, revealing a small section of her smooth collarbone - Tang Ning didn't know what the old beggar said about her naturally charming appearance, but this girl Su Mei's collarbone was.
Really nice.
When people take one look at it, their eyes seem to be sinking in.
Su Mei, Su Mei, this woman, just like her name, exudes charm all over her body.
Su Mei blessed him slightly and said softly: "Master, please sit down."
Her voice was so soft, it felt as if the whole body would soften when listening to it.
Tang Ning somewhat understood what the old beggar meant by being naturally charming. She sat down at the table, stopped looking at her, and looked elsewhere.
Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere in the room fell into awkwardness.
Su Mei pondered for a moment, looked at him and said, "Why don't I play a flute for the young master first?"
"What!"
Tangning's expression changed drastically, she stood up suddenly, took a few steps back, looked at her, and said loudly: "Girl, please respect yourself!"
