However, after hearing this, the officials of Anxi Prefecture just ignored it and said, "This is not a lively scene today. When night falls, you will know how prosperous our Anxi is."

"Everyone says that Anxi is a small capital, but who knows that the prosperity of Anxi is actually far better than that of the capital? If it were not for the official position, we would really not want to go to the capital to seek development."

"So, Anxi is a geomantic treasure?" Jiang Nianjiao asked calmly.

When the man heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "That's not exactly the case."

Jiang Nianjiao did not refute the other party. On the contrary, she just followed the other party's words and said, "I can also see that Anxi is indeed more prosperous than the capital, but now that you have entered the officialdom, who doesn't want to move up?"

Hearing Jiang Nianjiao's words, the official immediately wanted to refute Jiang Nianjiao. However, before he could refute Jiang Nianjiao, a more astute official on the side immediately took Jiang Nianjiao's arm after hearing what he said. "Princess, don't be surprised, this person just doesn't mean what he says and does."

After saying that, the man pulled the other person away.

Watching the other party leave, Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but feel a little regretful. She originally wanted to get some information about the Anxi Prefecture from the other party, but she didn't expect that she couldn't get anything right now.

But none of these people can escape anyway.

Therefore, Jiang Nianjiao just went to Xianghua Tower calmly with them.

Xianghua Tower is now being built in the most prosperous area of ​​Anxi Prefecture. However, even in a prosperous area, the Xianghua Building is still the most eye-catching building. Looking at this tall restaurant with a height of thirteen stories, how could everyone not be attracted by it? .

At the same time, the Cailou Huanmen at the entrance of Xianghua Tower seems to occupy a wider area than ordinary restaurants. The people standing here are not soliciting wine concubines, but strict state guards.

In addition to being rich enough, people who want to spend money from here are also required to have certain connections. Otherwise, if they want to enter this Xianghua Building, they may not even be able to get through the door.

However, because the operator of Xianghua Building is inextricably linked to Magistrate Ke, when Magistrate Ke brought Zhao Yanzhen here, the guards did not ask them for invitations. Even because of Magistrate Ke’s status, they never asked for invitations. The hanging towers from the first floor to the thirteenth floor are only different from the public hanging towers here.

On the first floor, many gorgeous song and dance performers were dancing in front of the hall. I heard that these people were all beauties from major flower houses in Anxi.

But even if they have reached the top level in their own building, if they come here to perform, they can only perform on the first floor. Even so, it is obviously an honor for these people to perform in Xianghua Building.

It is said that only consumers with the minimum requirements can enter the first floor. As the floors go higher, the guests here become more and more high-end and rich.

When you reach the 13th floor, you are already at the top, and the 13th floor belongs completely to Magistrate Ke. It is said that almost the entire floor of the 13th floor is dedicated to Magistrate Ke for his enjoyment. He enjoys everything there. Of course, it is also the top service. Apart from that, there have never been any foreigners here.

This also shows how prestigious this prefect Ke is in Anxi.

However, Magistrate Ke took the initiative to invite the guests to the thirteenth floor today. Naturally, other officials also thanked Magistrate Ke and had the honor to go to the thirteenth floor to take a look.

When they arrived at the 13th-floor hanging tower dedicated to Magistrate Ke, Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but be struck by the inhumanity of the earthen trench in this hanging building. She saw that the hanging building was actually made of blackwater agarwood. It is completed, but the outside is only packaged and engraved with a layer of gold carving craftsmanship.

And when they were stunned, the hanging tower was slowly opened, and they saw that the person inside to greet them was a stunning beauty.

When the men present saw the woman, they couldn't help but froze. The woman knelt on the ground and just smiled and said to everyone, "My lords, please come to the Diaolou."

After hearing the woman's words, Magistrate Ke immediately extended his hand to Zhao Yanzhen and said, "Your Highness, please come first."

Zhao Yanzhen was not polite when he heard this, and then he just prepared to lead Jiang Nianjiao to the thirteenth floor.

However, Magistrate Ke suddenly said, "Your Highness, I'm afraid the princess will have to go to the twelfth floor. The thirteenth floor is not suitable."

Women wait. But don’t worry, Your Highness, on the twelfth floor, with my wife and all the ladies accompanying me, the princess will not be disappointed. "

Hearing this, Jiang Nianjiao could only put down Zhao Yanzhen and said, "In that case, I'll go to the twelfth floor."

Although Zhao Yanzhen was reluctant to let go of Jiang Nianjiao.

But there is obviously no better choice at the moment.

Therefore, Zhao Yanzhen quickly followed the others to the thirteenth floor.

Soon after the group of people went up, another hanging tower wrapped in silver flowers hung down from above.

At the same time, the door of the hanging tower was opened, and then a handsome man came out. The man just knelt on the ground like a woman in a golden hanging tower. When he saw Jiang Nianjiao arriving, he immediately smiled and said, "Welcome, madam. I hope you can have a good time here."

When Jiang Nianjiao saw the man in the hanging building, she already felt that something was wrong.

After the Diaolou was pulled up to the twelfth floor, when they arrived at the wellhead of the Diaolou, there were already many wives of dignitaries standing by the wellhead. Apart from these people, it seemed that There were also several very handsome young men standing beside these noble ladies, as gentle as good cats.

At the same time, the wives of the nobles only entertained You Sansan warmly.

At that moment, the wife of Magistrate Na Ke directly led You Sansan into the main hall. At this time, a group of very beautiful men with different looks in the main hall were just waiting to be selected. They each showed their own advantages.

Especially when they found out that the person they were about to serve was probably a beauty, they became even more jealous.

However, Jiang Nianjiao did not choose any of them.

Even after Jiang Nianjiao saw the situation on the 12th floor, she suddenly understood why those officials said that she was not suitable for going to the 13th floor. She thought that since the 12th floor could be like this, she could only live in a room full of rooms. There were many beautiful men arranged, so the thirteenth floor was full of beauties. When she thought of this possibility, Jiang Nianjiao felt uncomfortable in her heart.

Seeing that Jiang Nianjiao didn't respond at all, Magistrate Ke's wife couldn't help but ask Jiang Nianjiao, "Princess, isn't there a man you like here?"

When Jiang Nianjiao heard this, she just shook her head and said, "I don't like these men."

Upon hearing this, another official's wife took the initiative and said, "Princess, I'm not talking about you. The rules on our twelfth floor are that everyone must bring a playmate, otherwise this may be against the rules."

Hearing this, Jiang Nianjiao, who had been unhappy thinking about Zhao Yanzhen being surrounded by beauties on the thirteenth floor, immediately said, "Since it's against the rules, then send me down."

Upon hearing that Jiang Nianjiao was furious, Magistrate Ke's wife immediately helped to smooth things over and said, "Princess, don't be angry. These rules are dead and people are alive. If you don't like it, we won't arrange this. Everything will be as it is." Your enjoyment is the most important goal."

After hearing what the man said, Jiang Nianjiao stopped talking.

Then Magistrate Na Ke's wife took Jiang Nianjiao to the seat inside.

At this time, when Magistrate Ke saw that Jiang Nianjiao had no man to accompany her, she naturally couldn't let him accompany her. Others followed suit and just left these beautiful men aside.

After this, the group of them sat down again.

On the other side, on the thirteenth floor, Zhao Yanzhen was facing the same choice as Jiang Nianjiao.

When he came down from the golden hanging building, what he saw was a group of beautiful beauties with good looks and green faces.

These beauties may dance in the corridors decorated like a heavenly palace, just like peonies in the clouds, or shine out among the flower layers with voices like the sounds of nature.

There are even more beautiful beauties playing the piano and flute among the orchids.

The thirteenth floor is said to be a banquet hall. At this time, its role is more like a paradise for appreciating beauties. Almost all the beauties here are like celestial beings in the sky.

Magistrate Ke was obviously very proud of the beauties he had hidden. He only took the initiative to introduce them to Zhao Yanzhen and said, "Your Highness, these beauties are all skinny horses that I have raised for more than ten years, and the ones I picked are all from Anxi."

Stunning beauties. After that, I asked the people below to teach them knowledge, music, chess, calligraphy and painting. None of them have received guests yet, so they are all very clean little ladies. I wonder if there is a beauty that your highness likes? "

When Zhao Yanzhen heard this, he just looked at these beauties indifferently. After a moment, he suddenly said, "Prefect Ke really bothered, but although these beauties are beautiful, in my heart these beauties are not one-third as good as the princess."

Hearing Zhao Yanzhen mentioning Princess Jin, Magistrate Ke only smiled awkwardly and said, "That's natural. A beauty like Princess is rare. But Your Highness, there is no need for this person to hang from a tree, right? If you are If we don't make new attempts, how can we know that there are no more suitable candidates for these beauties? Moreover, doting on beauties is like eating vegetables, we can't just stare at one dish every day."

When Zhao Yanzhen heard this, he said, "I can, Magistrate Ke. I just accept your banquet, but it doesn't mean that I want to accept everything at your banquet."

Upon hearing this, Magistrate Ke responded awkwardly. .

Then Zhao Yanzhen turned around and said directly to the officials behind him, "You don't have to worry about me. You can do whatever you want."

After hearing Zhao Yanzhen's words, other officials obviously immediately began to pick the woman they wanted.

But only Zhao Yanzhen sat down alone.
