A few days later.

Jiang Baiyu stepped on the sedan chair with one foot and was about to get on with the other when he was stopped by someone.He turned around and saw that the person calling him was none other than his colleague in the Imperial Academy, Lin Yuehuan.

Lin Yuehuan ran in a hurry to catch up with Jiang Baiyu.He took a deep breath and said, "Master Jiang, don't rush to leave..."

Jiang Baiyu was a young man who had been in the imperial court as an official for half a year, and he was only a nodding acquaintance with his colleagues in the Imperial Academy.

Especially Lin Yuehuan in front of him, he remembered that he and Lin Yuehuan probably didn't speak more than fifty sentences.When the two met, they nodded.This is today?

He was puzzled, but his face remained calm, "Master Lin, what is this?"

Lin Yuehuan was only two years older than Jiang Baiyu, and her face was immature, and she was a little shorter than Jiang Baiyu, but she looked small.He had already slowed down and said, "Master Chen is welcome."

Mr. Chen is the immediate boss of the two of them.

Jiang Baiyu has been in the Imperial Academy for half a year, and he has never spoken to Mr. Chen alone.Lord Chen and Jiang Yan have a good personal relationship, and the entire Imperial Academy agrees that he belongs to Lord Chen's faction.In fact, Jiang Baiyu himself didn't even know which faction he belonged to.As usual, you should take care of the value of Mao and scattered every day, and stay away from the affairs of the party/faction.

Jiang Baiyu told Litong to go home first, changed into spare clothes, and brought another servant to follow Lin Yuehuan.Only after seeing Mr. Chen did he know that apart from himself and Lin Yuehuan, there was also Zhang Han who entered the Imperial Academy with him.

Mr. Chen said, "Today I will be the host, and we will have a light meal together. Be casual, don't be rigid."

The first rule of survival in the officialdom is to give face to the boss.If you don't give enough and good enough, you can also refer to it by scraping off your own face and giving it to him.This time, he was called by name.That's a must.

The three quickly agreed.

Originally, Jiang Baiyu thought that it was enough to have a meal, and drink a little wine at most. If Mr. Chen had anything to say, he could just listen to it, and it was far from being difficult.But when he got to the place, Jiang Baiyu realized that although it was drinking, Mr. Chen invited flower wine.He watched Lin Yuehuan and Zhang Han go in eagerly, and then looked up at the three large characters on the plaque, Simenglou.Well, the brothel with the biggest and best girls in Shuntian Prefecture.

Jiang Baiyu regretted it. If he knew it was a brothel, he didn't care about his boss's face.He unconsciously took a few steps back.

Lin Yuehuan, who had already stepped into the threshold, saw Jiang Baiyu standing at the door, and quickly reached out to pull him, "Brother Jiang, hurry up, all the good-looking girls will be picked away..."

It's just that they are about to have a flower wine together, and Lin Yuehuan's address to Jiang Baiyu has changed from "Master Jiang" to "Brother Jiang".The friendship between men is unpredictable.

Jiang Baiyu hid sideways, and said helplessly, "Let's go."

Lin Yuehuan was full of satisfaction thinking about the girl, and went inside without thinking about anything else.After entering the door, he did not forget to urge, "Hurry up!"

Jiang Baiyu had no choice but to keep up.

If you want to say why Jiang Baiyu is so repulsed to go to brothels, it's not because he doesn't like brothel women, but because he has a cleanliness habit.Hundreds of years ago in the Ming Dynasty, there was no word for cleanliness, but there have been people with cleanliness for a long time.

Inside the brothel, the girls snuggled up to each other, laughing, feeding, flirting, and joking.Just thinking about it, Jiang Baiyu couldn't take it anymore.Being fed by others?Still forced to get close to people?It's scary.

He made up his mind that after going in for a while, he must stop them from ordering girls for him, and then quickly find an excuse to slip away.

Sometimes people are just afraid of what will come, and they can't hide.

Mr. Chen is proud, he paid the bill today, even though Jiang Baiyu repeatedly refused after coming in, saying that only drinking is enough.But when these words were heard in the ears of the other three people, it was not the same thing.Come to the brothel only to drink, either not good, or not interested in girls.

Lin Yuehuan drank a glass of wine and let go of his words, he said, "Brother Jiang, you're here now, what's the matter if you don't ask for a girl to accompany you?" He changed his voice, "Brother Jiang, you... have something hard to say ?”

Even Zhang Han, who has always been reticent, echoed, "Yes, Mr. Jiang."

Mr. Chen thought about his relationship with Jiang Yan, so he naturally wanted to take care of Jiang Baiyu.He said, "Bai Yu, don't be shy. It's better to pick a few girls to accompany you than us old men who just drink. Don't worry, I will talk to your father. Look, which of these girls do you like? Pick one first."

Jiang Baiyu knew it well, Mr. Chen probably just wanted to find out the bottom line of a few people today, and he would not talk about any serious business.That's why I chose a place like brothel.

But at the same time, he kept complaining, and Mrs. Chen also thought that he was thin-skinned and embarrassed, so he actually let him choose first.When all the girls heard this, they all looked at Jiang Baiyu, their eyes were full of anticipation, and the more daring ones directly gave him a wink, which made Jiang Baiyu tremble.He had no choice but to bite the bullet and randomly pick a less gorgeous one.

Lin Yue laughed at him, "I also said Brother Jiang was shy, but in the end, this point, I pointed to the oiran of Simenglou." He winked at Jiang Baiyu, "Brother Jiang is so tall! Pity my heart, Miss Xiao Xiangsuqing For many days, today I wanted to take advantage of my lord's face to meet Suqing girl to relieve lovesickness, but I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it..."

Jiang Baiyu hurriedly said, "Since Mr. Lin is interested in Miss Suqing." He didn't look at Suqing, but he said to her, "Go and accompany Mrs. Lin."

How can Lin Yuehuan really snatch the oiran chosen by Jiang Baiyu in front of Mrs. Chen? He hurriedly said, "Brother Jiang is too polite! How can I win someone's love!" He hugged another girl, "I see our Qin'er That's not bad either. The oiran will be left to Brother Jiang!"

You are taking it, Jiang Baiyu thought so.

This girl named Suqing doesn't dress too gorgeously, but she is very gorgeous.To what extent is it gorgeous, red lips and white face, so bright that you can't look directly at it.At first glance, she looks like she wants to eat people.Jiang Baiyu's body froze, Suqing girl was only two punches away from him, and he was already restless and his back felt cold.I dare not even glance at my eyes.I'm afraid that if he glances at him, the plain girl will stick to him.

The other three people in the Hanlin Academy hugged the girl, drank wine, and listened to a little song. It was really beautiful.

Jiang Baiyu felt a little too good about himself.He was good-looking since he was a child, and he is the son of Jiang Yan, a cabinet scholar, and the only son of the Jiang family. At the age of 17, he won Tanhua, and the scenery was unparalleled for a while, even surpassing the number one scholar.This person is excellent, and there are flowers and crowds everywhere he goes.He got used to it himself.As long as there is a place where he is present, the eyes of women will definitely be on him.

According to this kind of inertial thinking, he must have thought that Suqing girl would cling to him.I have always been trembling, even the hands that drink are trembling slightly.

Although Lin Yuehuan was holding Qin'er in her arms, her eyes were always on Suqing.The reason why the Suqing girl can be the oiran is not because of how beautiful her face is, but because of her attitude.Arrogant and glamorous, she stood out from the crowd of brothel girls and became the most sought after in Shuntian Mansion.

He found something was wrong.The Suqing girl is usually cold, but she still has to deal with it anyway.Looking at her today, it seems that her mind is not on Jiang Baiyu.He couldn't help thinking, with Jiang Baiyu's talent and appearance, he would be treated like this?

Lin Yuehuan didn't believe it, while socializing with the members of the Imperial Academy, he looked at Suqing from time to time.After looking at her several times, Lin Yuehuan found that she was looking up slightly with her head turned sideways, her eyeballs were motionless.He followed Suqing's gaze, hey, she was looking at the VIP seats on the second floor?

The lobby on the first floor of Simeng Building is for guests to play the piano and listen to music.Well, the private room on the second floor is naturally doing some such and such things.However, there are not only private rooms on the second floor, but also a small piece of excellent location, which can see the entire first floor and is very quiet.It also maintains a good level of privacy.

Originally Master Chen wanted to sit in the VIP seat, but the old bustard said that the VIP seat had already been reserved by the young prince Gao Zixi.

Suqing is looking at the little prince?She looked up from the bottom, but she couldn't see the little prince's face.Isn't it uncomfortable to tilt your neck?

But now Lin Yuehuan understood that Suqing was looking at the words of the little prince, no matter how good Ren Jiang Baiyu was, she couldn't compare to the little prince Gao Zixi who was loved by thousands of people.

He toasted Master Chen with a glass of wine.After drinking a cup, he inadvertently thought that fortunately Jiang Baiyu's mind was not on Suqing, otherwise, it would be embarrassing.

The four members of the Hanlin Academy came early, and when they sat down, the hall was deserted.After a few people had finished drinking, customers came in to fill their seats one after another.If there are too many people, it must be noisy.

Master Chen said, "Go upstairs."

The four got up and prepared to go to the private room on the second floor.

Jiang Baiyu stepped up the stairs with heavy steps.In the lobby, due to the presence of too many people, nothing extraordinary could happen.But when I went to the private room, I couldn't tell.He has heard that when drinking flower wine, they often exchange glasses of wine with mouth to mouth.If this happened to him, he might as well be dead.

He wanted to leave, but he was afraid of leaving, Mr. Chen would inevitably have to think about it.Although he and Jiang Yan were officials in the same dynasty, he didn't know about his father.Regardless of whether it can be achieved in the end, staying at the end is a safe way to do it.To leave rashly, one is too embarrassing, and the other is fear of future troubles.

Jiang Baiyu secretly made up his mind that in the future, he must go first when the value is scattered.If someone is shouting behind you, just pretend you didn't hear it!

As soon as the four of them went upstairs, the boss of Simenglou greeted them.The boss is a middle-aged man, quite fair-looking, with a flattering smile on his face, "My lords, the little prince wants to treat Suqing girl to a glass of wine, and it only takes half an hour."

Mr. Chen frowned, the little prince Gao Zixi had heard it all along, he was ignorant, he was obsessed with Taoism all day long, and would play tricks with a group of Taoist priests when he had nothing to do.He really didn't like such a person.

But Gao Zixi is the prince, even if the prince has no real power and is an idiot, he can't save the prince's face.But you can't just agree, after all, it's the plain girl they ordered first.

"Miss Suqing was chosen by Bai Yu," he threw the question to Jiang Baiyu, "Bai Yu, what do you think?"

Jiang Baiyu, who was named, naturally wanted to get rid of Suqing, Suqing made Jiang Baiyu highly nervous, for fear that she would get close to him.But judging by Master Chen's intentions, he was naturally unwilling.

Jiang Baiyu said to the boss, "Just ask the little prince, can Jiang Baiyu also ask him for a drink."

Master Chen still frowned, "Bai Yu, who are you?"

Jiang Baiyu explained, "I'll take Miss Suqing to have a drink, and I'll bring her back in half an hour."

Lin Yuehuan raised her forehead, the girl who is so affectionate is obviously interested in the little prince, what's the point of you, Jiang Baiyu, coming over?

Mr. Chen will not really refuse to let him go. Since Jiang Baiyu wants to follow, it is Jiang Baiyu's business. He just wants to see how Jiang Baiyu deals with the little prince.So he said, "That's fine." He led Lin Yuehuan and Zhang Han to the private room.

Jiang Baiyu was still waiting at the stairs, Suqing was two people away from him.The coldness on his back has never dissipated, and it is getting colder and colder.He even asked the boy on the first floor to bring his cloak.

Just as he was thinking, someone came.This time it was not the boss, but the young prince Gao Zixi himself.

The little prince was dressed in white and jumped towards Jiang Baiyu. When he was about to arrive, he saw Su Qing beside Jiang Baiyu, and stopped in time.After a distance, he shouted at Jiang Baiyu, "Xiaobai! Come here!"

Who would have thought that Tanhualang Jiang Baiyu and the ignorant Gao Zixi were actually friends.The reason for their acquaintance is very simple, because of their common hobbies, both of them liked to read books about ghosts and ghosts when they were young.Once, Jiang Baiyu went to get a single copy from a familiar bookstore owner, but was told that he was taken one step ahead, just one step.He hurried to catch up and found that the one who snatched the book was actually the young prince Gao Zixi.The little prince promised to send the book to Jiang Mansion after reading it.After that, the two exchanged a lot of notebooks, and a deep friendship was established in this way.

When Gao Zixi was 16 years old, he worshiped a famous Taoist priest as his teacher.The two haven't seen each other for two years.

Jiang Baiyu went up to meet her, "When did you come back?" He added, "You won't look for me when you come back?"

Only then did Jiang Baiyu see that there was another person beside Gao Zixi.The man was dressed in gray clothes, tall and tall, a head taller than Gao Zixi, even he had to raise his head slightly to look at him.His pupils are larger than average, dark and bright.

Jiang Baiyu asked Gao Zixi, "Who is this?"

Gao Zixi didn't say much, pulled Jiang Baiyu and ran away, "It's too late to explain! Li Wenwen, I'll leave it to you!"
