Traitor, he is bent on death
Chapter 15
Rao, a dude like Yin Wenxing, almost spit out tea when he heard this, "2000 taels of gold buys a woman, who is richer?"
Xuan Ke raised his eyebrows and looked out, and saw that it was Room No. [-] in Tianzi, which had been silent.
Room No. [-] and Room No. [-] are next to each other. Now that the two are comparing prices, everyone's eyes are on these two rooms.
Yin Wenxing waved and asked, "Who is in room No. [-] in Tianzi?"
The old bustard hesitated for a moment, and said with a smile: "There are too many guests, and the slave family can't remember all of them. The people in this room just paid the money, and the slave family didn't see anyone."
Yin Wenxing was dubious: "Really?"
The old bustard said: "How dare the slave family lie to you, young master."
Yin Wenxing thought about it too, how could this old woman have such courage, and said boringly: "Go away."
The bustard left quickly.
The stone hanging in her heart did not let go.
She didn't lie to Yin Wenxing, she had indeed never seen who the distinguished guest in Tianzi No. There is only one person who comes to Huanhualou.
But the bustard didn't dare to think too much, so she could only pretend that she didn't know anything. She thought this guy was just here for fun, but who would have thought that he would even get into a fight with General Qin...
She was very worried, but she had no choice but to watch the two rooms continue to be stuck together.
……
"Looks like Miss Linxian is very popular." Qin Xu sighed: "One Yin Wenxing left, and another richer one came, and the price of 2000 taels of gold was called out."
Jiang Jintang played with the ivory fan in his hand and said casually, "Two thousand and one taels."
The boy stopped shaking this time, and called the price again with his back straight. Everyone was so excited that they even forgot to look at the beauty, and just stared at the two rooms to bid.
Tianzi No. 500 room added [-] taels without hesitation.
Qin Xu frowned: "I thought your rival was no more than Yin Wenxing. Where did this person come from?"
Jiang Jintang glanced through the beaded curtain, the door of Room [-] was closed tightly, and the owner's true face of Lushan could not be seen.
Qin Xu said: "If this price continues to be called, won't your Qiansui Mansion be emptied?"
"It's not rumored that [-]% of the national treasury is in the Chitose Mansion, how can it be so easy to empty." Jiang Jintang sighed, "But you are right, we can't continue to raise it."
He raised his eyes and looked at Qin Xu: "Why don't General Qin go to negotiate, maybe the other party will stop here for the sake of the general."
Qin Xu smiled: "Nine thousand years old, Lin Xian is the person you want, not me."
Jiang Jintang laughed: "It is said that good people will do their best to the end and send Buddha to the west... In the future, Shanyue will definitely be grateful to you and give you a longevity tablet."
"..." Qin Xu imagined the scene for a while, felt panicked, and clicked his tongue: "I'll just go, why do you curse me like that."
He stood up, went to the next door and knocked on the door. The door just opened when Qin Xu heard a voice that sounded like a smile but not a smile: "I know who is so rich and powerful. It turns out to be General Qin."
Qin Xu: "..."
I said who had such a hard waist, it turned out to be the little emperor.
The monarch and his ministers went shopping together, and even ran into each other. It was an embarrassing scene that could be written into the history books.
Qin Xu coughed and saluted, "I see Your Majesty."
Xuan Lan lazily leaned on the chair, beside Wang Laifu was trying his best to peel nuts for him, he didn't eat, just watched and played, said: "General Qin is interested in this oiran?"
Qin Xu: "...Fortunately, let's join in the fun."
At this time, a voice came from downstairs: "Guest officers, is there anyone who is higher than 500 taels of gold? If not, Miss Linxian will be the distinguished guest of Tianzi No. [-] room tonight!"
The sky-high price of 500 taels of gold, even Yin Wenxing couldn't just take it out casually, how could it be even higher, but the price of Tianzi No. [-] room was increased: "Two thousand five hundred and one taels."
Xuan Lan raised her eyebrows: "Is there anyone else in General Qin's room?"
Qin Xu felt that Xuan Lan's tone sounded like he was catching a traitor, and said: "I...actually, I just stopped by to see, the bidder was someone else."
A dead fellow Taoist is not a poor Taoist, nine thousand years old, I'm sorry.
Xuan Lan said "Oh?", stood up and said, "Then I want to see who is going to snatch someone from me."
Qin Xu: "..."
Wang Laifu hurried out to make sure there were no idlers waiting, after all, it was not a glorious thing for the emperor to visit the brothel.
Xuan Lan walked slowly to Room No. [-], Tianzi, and motioned for Wang Laifu to open the door.
Jiang Jintang thought it was Qin Xu who had come back, so he didn't care. The incense burning in the room was too sweet, which gave him a headache. He propped his forehead with one hand and closed his eyes half-closed.
Wang Laifu opened the door and saw him, his eyes widened. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Xuan Lan just looking at Jiang Jintang quietly. After all, he had served Xuan Lan for so many years, and he suddenly understood something, and he beckoned everyone to leave the room. Closed the door again.
Qin Xu stood at the door, frowned and said, "Your Majesty, he..."
Wang Laifu said softly: "General Qin is cautious, why did His Majesty appear here?"
"..." Qin Xu shut up.
The relationship between him and Jiang Jintang has always been neither cold nor cold, and he couldn't open his mouth to care about Jiang Jintang, so he had to wait outside with Wang Laifu.
……
Xuan Lan's visit to Huanhualou this time started entirely at the instigation of Wang Laifu.
He didn't cause trouble for Jiang Jintang this month, not because of the reasons Jiang Jintang thought, but because Jiang Jintang's face always appeared in his deep dreams recently.
It's fine if it's an ordinary dream, but it's all unspeakable dreams.
Xuan Lan always thought that he was pure-hearted, and rarely had such dreams, but ever since he kissed Jiang Jintang drunk, he always dreamed of his spring-like eyes and petal-like lips.
He thought about the fact that it was normal at a young age, and asked Wang Laifu to choose a few court ladies with outstanding looks, but he was calm and seemed to have no worldly desires. Wang Laifu analyzed this issue with him and said: "Your Majesty, is it possible that Because they are still born not good-looking enough?"
Xuan Lan thought it made sense, so Wang Laifu talked about the lively events in the capital recently, and the oiran who was sought after by so many people might make him a little interested, so Xuan Lan went out of the palace to visit the brothels, but it was a pity to see Lin Xian. , he almost had the words "just so" written on his face, which made Wang Laifu terrified.
Seeing Jiang Jintang who is pretending to be asleep at this time, Xuan Lan felt that what Wang Laifu said should be right.
Those women are not as good-looking as Jiang Jintang, it's normal for him to have no idea.
Xuan Lan sat down opposite Jiang Jintang, pushed Qin Xu's used tea cup aside, took a new tea cup for herself, and poured herself a glass of water.
After two thousand five hundred and one taels, there was no more bids, and the procuress excitedly announced that Linxian would be in Tianzi No. [-] room tonight.
Jiang Jintang heard the commotion and asked: "The one in Tianzi No. [-] room is willing to give General Qin this face, so he won't fight with me?"
Xuan Lan laughed, and said: "I'm not giving this face to General Qin, but to Nine Thousand Years Old."
Jiang Jintang was startled, opened his eyes, saw Xuan Lan's slender eyelashes trembling, and said slowly, "Why is Your Majesty here?"
Xuan Lan said maliciously: "It's normal for me to appear here, but it's not normal for Jiuqian Sui to appear here."
This is what Xuan Lan is like, he likes to pinch other people's pain points and step on them repeatedly, only to stop when they see blood dripping down.
Jiang Jintang laughed and said, "Your Majesty is surrounded by countless beauties, why do you want to come to Hualiu Alley to find happiness?"
Xuan Lan raised her eyebrows and said, "Don't you know that a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as stealing?"
Jiang Jintang just smiled lightly and didn't speak. Instead, Xuan Lan knocked on the table: "Nine thousand years old and Princess Fulu are deeply in love with each other, and they are promiscuous outside... I can't help but start to worry about my step-sister's life after marriage." , I’m afraid it’s not going well.”
Jiang Jintang's head ached even more from the sweet aroma, he raised his finger and pressed his temple, at this time someone knocked on the door, Wang Laifu said: "Master, mother brought Miss Linxian here."
Hearing that someone was coming, Jiang Jintang put the veiled hat back on.
Xuan Lan glanced at him before saying, "Come in."
The bustard cautiously led Lin Xian into the box.
Lin Xian was very disturbed, she knew that she had a great reputation in the capital, and today countless dignitaries came for her, but she also understood that they were all playboys with countless concubines at home, so they would not take her seriously, but After all, I was thinking about it for a while.
She used to be a daughter of a good family, a man with a finger pulp to marry, but it's too ironic to think about the past now.
If that person is still alive, seeing her current appearance, I am afraid that he will be extremely disgusted.
The old bustard knew that there was a big person he couldn't afford to offend, so he didn't dare to lift his head, but said: "You two, Miss Linxian brought it from my slave."
Xuan Lan propped his chin and looked at Lin Xian lightly, feeling dull.
Even though she has a charming complexion like a spring flower, she lacks a bit of charm, like fireflies, sun and moon, they cannot be compared.
Jiang Jintang didn't even look at it, he just said in a low voice, "I want to take this person away, you make a price."
The old bustard was taken aback, Linxian was her cash cow, and she sold it at a sky-high price of 500 taels of gold in the first night. In the future, more people will come here admiringly, and the benefits it will bring are unimaginable, but this nobleman opened his mouth How could she be willing to take people away!
But she didn't dare to refuse directly, she just laughed and said: "Master, it's not easy for my family to raise an oiran after so many years..."
Jiang Jintang said softly, "I didn't take him away directly. Instead, I came to your building in a proper manner and spent [-] taels of gold to buy him. I think it's enough to give you face."
This voice is as clear as Kunshan jade, and the pearls are round and smooth, but for no reason, cold sweat oozes from the back of the bustard, and it feels like falling into an ice cave.
"I also thought it would not be easy for everyone, so I am willing to give you this place, mom, 500 taels of gold, it's not enough to buy Linxian... to buy mom, your life—"
He narrowed his eyes and said with a light smile, "I don't know if it's enough?"
The old bustard fell to the ground in fright.
Xuan Lan finds it strange that Jiang Jintang always speaks softly, even with a bit of tenderness when threatening others, but he just has the ability to say the most tender words like a cold knife, making people dare not have the slightest charm idea.
The old bustard's heart was beating like thunder, and her back was almost drenched in cold sweat. She apologized and said with a smile: "This master... Linxian has a great reputation now, so many princes and grandchildren are waiting for him. If this person keeps silent, he will be gone. How should I explain..."
Jiang Jintang bent his lips and said, "Let's just say that General Qin fell in love with Miss Linxian at first sight and took her away."
Qin Xu, who was standing outside the door, sneezed, and Wang Laifu, who was next to him, immediately expressed concern: "The general is suffering from the wind and cold? Although it is already spring, the general's clothes are too thin, you should pay attention to the cold!"
Qin Xu said inexplicably, "I don't feel cold."
Maybe someone is plotting against him behind his back.
After hearing Jiang Jintang's words, the old bustard did not dare to take Joe anymore. After all, the two thousand five hundred taels of gold was far beyond her expectations, and she would not be at a loss for Lin Xian's redemption. Kong, hurriedly said: "The slave family is now going to get Linxian's contract of sale."
Jiang Jintang nodded, and the bustard hurried out.
Lin Xian knelt on the ground and didn't dare to move, suddenly heard Jiang Jintang say: "General Qin bought you, you can go back with General Qin later."
Lin Xian whispered: "Yes."
Xuan Lan said casually: "It turns out that General Qin has his eyes on this man."
"I'm just here to join in the fun. The fun is over, and it's time for the young master to go back." Jiang Jintang stood up and bowed to Xuan Lan: "Retire."
"Jiu..." Xuan Lan realized that Lin Xian was still there when he was about to speak, and for a moment he didn't know what to call him, so he paused and said, "I'll go with you."
The author has something to say:
The little diary of the dog emperor's mood (1):
I caught Jiang Jintang visiting the brothel today, and I couldn't understand why he was visiting the brothel.
It can't be just trying to meet me by chance.
... It's not impossible.
Xuan Ke raised his eyebrows and looked out, and saw that it was Room No. [-] in Tianzi, which had been silent.
Room No. [-] and Room No. [-] are next to each other. Now that the two are comparing prices, everyone's eyes are on these two rooms.
