"Mother Hua said there are no seats downstairs, but there is a private seat on the second floor above. If we want it, it will be given to us, otherwise it will be given to someone else. This is because I come here often! Shall we go?"
Zhu Pang actually wanted to go. After all, he was the son of a dignified minister of the Ministry of War. He was allowed to squeeze in the hall on the first floor. Didn't he have his status? It's just that he didn't have enough money. His father had been strict recently, so he
I don’t dare to pay on credit.
Sitting in an elegant seat is not free. Even if you don't see the girl you meet tonight, just a private seat will cost you one hundred taels of silver!
Gu Chengyu couldn't spoil Zhu Pang's interest. Since he was already here, it would be a waste of time to go back. He asked Zhu Pang how much money he had, and it was only a hundred taels, but he could still afford it. So he might as well just invite him, otherwise Zhu Pang
Pang still thinks he is stingy! In fact, Gu Chengyu thinks this is a complete waste, one hundred taels are gone just for a seat.
Gu Chengyu thought of Hua Lian, and since she was here, she wanted to inquire with Mother Hua. However, Mother Hua was very busy, so she called a turtle slave to take them to the second floor seating area, and then went outside to welcome the guests.
Gu Chengyu took out a small piece of silver and stopped the turtle slave who was about to go downstairs and gave it to him, "Brother, is your girl Hua Lian from Tianxiang Pavilion still there?"
When Turtle Slave saw the silver, he was overjoyed.
"Young Master Gu, are you looking for Miss Hua Lian? You will see her later." Gu Nu thought that Gu Chengyu wanted to be Hua Lian's guest, so he smiled ambiguously.
Today is the first time for Miss Hua Lian to have sex. Last time, she said that there is a Mr. Jia who also likes Miss Hua Lian very much. Today, Miss Hua Lian's first night will probably be sold for a lot of money, and Hua's mother will definitely smile.
Open your mouth from ear to ear.
When Gu Chengyu heard this, his eyebrows wrinkled. He gave Hua Lian the jade pendant, but Hua Lian didn't go to Ming Mo or pawned the jade pendant, which really puzzled him. He wanted to stop Gui Nu and let him take him to see Hua Lian.
, but the turtle slave shook his head and refused.
"Young master, you don't know that before the banquet begins, Miss Hua Lian can't see anyone. You have to wait for the master who bids the most to get her first night. Don't make things difficult for me, sir. Wait until Miss Hua Lian comes out and do your best."
Just some silver."
Gu Chengyu had no choice but to let Gui Nu leave. He wondered in his heart, did Hua Lian not want to leave Tianxiang Pavilion because he was afraid that his future life would not be settled? No, it was impossible! When he was in prison before, Hua Lian had cried to him. Since
In this case, there is only one possibility: Mother Hua has caught the person.
Hua Lian is a lowly person and cannot redeem herself. She is being taken care of by Hua's mother. There must be nothing she can do. Let's wait and see! If it doesn't work, we can only spend more money. But in this way, I'm afraid it will be the same as before.
A few hundred taels of silver are not enough.
Gu Chengyu turned around and was about to sit down, but saw a narrow look in his eyes. Without Zhu Pang opening his mouth, Gu Chengyu knew what he was thinking. The wretched expression on his face was the best proof.
"Hey! I asked you to come, but you still don't want to. What's the matter? Are you looking for a sweetheart as soon as you come?" Zhu Pang raised his tea cup and said with a smile.
"What does it mean to be in love? It's just that when I was in prison, the girl visited me. She reciprocated her kindness and I redeemed her life, which is considered a good thing." Gu Chengyu knew that Zhu Pang was thinking about all this.
Zhu Pang smiled again, said no more, and looked to the opposite side.
When he found that Min Feng and the others were looking at this place, he was only slightly surprised and then regained his composure.
"Hey! Your old enemy is here! He's right opposite you, and he's really haunting you!"
Gu Chengyu looked at Min Feng and found that Min Feng was nodding to him. Gu Chengyu also raised a smile as a greeting.
"You have to be careful what you say, so as not to be misunderstood. How can Senior Brother Min and I be considered enemies? We are both disciples of the emperor. If we can both participate in the palace examination, we are of the same age. In the future, I am afraid we will become colleagues. Officialdom
Things are changing rapidly, so you have to keep your mouth shut and don't cause trouble for your father everywhere."
It was rare for Gu Chengyu to say this to Zhu Pang. Zhu Pang was not young yet, and no matter how outspoken he was, if he was resented by others, it would be more of a loss than a gain.
Zhu Pang nodded, "I know, isn't it just to talk in front of you? However, I don't believe you don't know that Min Feng is secretly competing with you."
His father said that it would be right to listen more to Gu Chengyu. His father has always been happy to see the results of his interactions with Gu Chengyu. Although his father has never met Gu Chengyu in person and has only heard him mention it, this is not the case.
It prevents his father from judging a person's character.
Gu Chengyu looked at Zhu Pang and shook his head and laughed. Zhu Pang was becoming more and more defenseless in front of him. In just a few months, his true nature had been exposed. His original caution had long been forgotten, but he also
It won't hurt him.
"There are some things that you should not tell if you see through them." Gu Chengyu looked at the people below, there was still half an hour before the start, and Tianxiang Pavilion was probably going to make a lot of money today.
"I find that you and my father are alike. You always like to pretend to be inscrutable." Zhu Pang likes to be direct. Of course, he doesn't say everything. When it comes to confidential matters, he can also keep his mouth shut. Otherwise, he would have died early.
He was whipped to death by his father.
Gu Chengyu picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup for Zhu Pang and himself, and found that it was Yuqian Longjing. Unexpectedly, Tianxiang Pavilion also spent a lot of money today, so the one hundred taels of silver was not too unfair.
.
Min Feng saw Gu Chengyu and the others when they went upstairs. He originally thought that Gu Chengyu would not want to come to a place like this. He had always heard that Gu Chengyu kept a clean life and did not even have a personal girl by his side. He did not expect that he would also
Good mouthful.
Before coming, he had drafted a few poems, intending to take advantage of Gu Chengyu's absence to show off and wash away his reputation for cheating in the previous two days.
Min Feng's hand holding the tea bowl tightened slightly. This Gu Chengyu was really haunting. He could run into him wherever he went recently, and nothing good would happen if he did.
Min Feng felt really aggrieved. Last time he played the couplet in Tianxiang Pavilion, Gu Chengyu's was taken away and pasted on the toilet wall of Shili Pavilion. Unexpectedly, it made Gu Chengyu famous, and he has been visiting Shili Pavilion in recent days.
There are many people visiting Ting to read.
It was passed down to ten, and Gu Chengyu became famous again. However, no one paid attention to the couplet he posted in the toilet of the brothel. How could this not make him extremely angry?
Huang Junheng on the side was also surprised when he saw Gu Chengyu. After all, Gu Chengyu's behavior in the brothel last time did not seem like someone who liked romance, but he was also a prude.
Huang Junheng looked at Min Feng's reaction again, and smiled in his heart. Min Feng had prepared several poems! It seemed that he was going to fail again today, and he couldn't help but feel a little better. If he had known better, he should have invited Liu Haonan over.
