"I look at the two young masters, maybe this is your first time coming to our Yicui Building, right? In our Yicui Building, the most unmissable thing now is Miss Ning Bing's tea party!"
"Miss Ning Bing is sexy and fragrant...ah, bah, she is excellent in both sex and art, and is proficient in poetry. She is a first-class courtesan in Zhongjing City."
"This kind of beauty and talent is something that is rare to see in our Jiang'an city for a hundred years! If it weren't for such a big event as Empress Dowager De's marriage proposal, how could she come to our Jiang'an city! You two young masters, this opportunity is not to be missed!"
While walking on the road, the madam began to vigorously promote Miss Ning Bing's excellence, which made Xu Dapeng get excited and excited.
Xia Jingyun even felt that if he didn't stop him from the side, Xu Dapeng might be willing to spend his money to make her smile as soon as Miss Ning Bing said something, and then have a hearty and sweet dream under the quilt at night.
Naturally, the old bustard noticed Xu Dapeng's appearance and showed unsurprising pride.
But when she turned her attention to Xia Jingyun, she found that this handsome young man still looked calm and relaxed. He was obviously a veteran he had seen before, so she immediately paid a lot of attention to him.
Soon, the two came to a courtyard.
The independent two-story building is surrounded by a small courtyard and surrounded by green bamboos. Even if the autumn wind is bleak, it does not lose its elegance.
There is a sign hanging at the door with the three characters "Green Bamboo Courtyard" written on it.
There are also guards standing attentively beside the wall, which not only allows everyone to sleep peacefully, but also highlights the aloof status of this great oiran in this Yicui Building.
It is said that in Zhongjing City, there will be procedures such as the Qilou Poetry Contest, but Jiang'an County obviously cannot afford such a scene, so it only used money to do the preliminary selection.
At the entrance of the courtyard, the Madam bowed her waist and extended her hand, smiling broadly, "You two gentlemen, please come in."
Xia Jingyun nodded slightly and strode in.
On the first floor of the courtyard, there is a wide hall with more than ten tables, and now there are seven or eight people sitting there.
Seeing Xia Jingyun come in, many people looked sideways, obviously recognizing this young man who had made a big splash at the literary conference two days ago.
Xia Jingyun, who originally looked indifferent, glanced casually, and his pupils shrank instantly.
At the table in the middle of the first row, he saw Zheng Tianyu, dressed in white and looking at ease.
The number one son of Sishui Prefecture also saw Xia Jingyun, smiled gracefully and nodded.
His actions, which were already the center of attention, also made other people who had not noticed Xia Jingyun look at him sideways, and attracted more people's attention.
Xia Jingyun also nodded slightly, then picked a remaining table and sat down.
Every table comes with tea money. The one where Xia Jingyun and his wife are sitting is considered remote, but it also requires ten taels of silver.
Xia Jingyun took out the money and sighed, as expected, the brothel is indeed a gold-selling cave!
A boy took the money and left with a grateful bow. After a while, he turned back and whispered with an embarrassed look on his face: "This young man, Miss Ning Bing said, please stay away for today."
Xia Jingyun narrowed his eyes, held down Xu Dapeng who was about to open his mouth to spray, and sneered: "Open the door to welcome guests, and still choose the guests?"
The boy took out fifty taels of silver and said, "Miss Ning Bing said that our temple is small and cannot tolerate the grudges between the two young masters. Please come back tomorrow, and she will entertain him well. This little money can be regarded as an apology."
This was said euphemistically, but the meaning was clear.
Everyone knows about the grievances between you and Mr. Zheng. If you two start fighting again soon, we won't be able to suppress it here, so you'd better avoid it.
Xia Jingyun half-smiled, and made his words clear, "Then why is it not Mr. Zheng who is leaving, but me?"
The boy's expression froze, and Xu Dapeng snorted coldly, "Tell your girl, if Brother Gao Yang leaves, I won't stay any longer."
The boy glanced at him and said, "Young master, please."
Xu Dapeng:......
"Let's go!"
Xia Jingyun stood up directly and walked out.
Well, I didn’t forget to take the money, there’s fifty taels, don’t give it up.
The people behind him cast surprised glances, and then glanced at Zheng Tianyu thoughtfully. Looking at the backs of the two of them, their expressions turned sarcastic.
On the second floor of the small building, the maid hurriedly walked in and whispered: "Girl, we have driven away Mr. Xia."
Miss Ning Bing, who has made many men in Jiang'an City dream of one day, is currently wearing a green dress, and the dress gently spreads out the exquisite curves on her body.
As the lotus steps move lightly, the front peak is high, the back peak is upturned, and the middle seam is vaguely invisible.
She hummed casually, put her hands over her hips, closed the hem of her skirt, and sat in front of the dressing table. An exaggerated and alluring figure suddenly appeared behind her. She picked up the eyebrow pencil and traced it in front of the bronze mirror. eyebrows.
The little maid hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Girl, I don't think you need to do this. Mr. Zheng himself didn't say anything, and he even took the initiative to say hello to the man. Why should we be such evil people? It will also make people think that we have broken the rules.”
Miss Ning Bing ignored her and slowly finished tracing her eyebrows before saying calmly: "A big man's hands are never stained with such chores. Naturally, there will be caring people who take the initiative to help him. If you do it, he will be happy. If you do it, he will be happy." If he still needs to speak, then you are ignorant."
"But......"
"There's nothing good about it. If you ruin the reputation, you'll ruin the reputation of Yicui House. I'll be back in Zhongjing in about twenty days. What does it have to do with me."
She looked at the little maid who was loyal to her and confided a little bit of her heart, "What do the people here think of me in Zhongjing City? Don't you know my situation? I am not young now, and I have so much talent on my body." The name is not obvious, and the story is not many. If I can firmly capture the number one son of Sishui Prefecture after coming here, it will be a great conversation piece when I return to Zhongjing City in the future, so that my position can be improved a bit. "
The maid sighed quietly and said softly: "But how do you know, young lady, that Mr. Xia can't help you fulfill this wish?"
Miss Ning Bing stood up and looked downstairs from the window, looking at Zheng Tianyu's handsome face and pleasant demeanor, "Since it is a bet, then we must place the safest bet!"
...
"A dog looks down on others! It's too much to bully others! Brother Gao Yang, we can't just be so cowardly!"
Walking out of the small courtyard, Xu Dapeng chattered angrily as if those mocking glances were still on his back.
Xia Jingyun smiled indifferently, "Then what do you think is the best way to deal with such a contemptuous person?"
Xu Dapeng was stunned, and Xia Jingyun sneered, "Of course, let them know that they have a pair of dog eyes and regret it! Making trouble will only make you appear incompetent."
He came here to inquire about information. The bustling place of the oiran is naturally a good place to be, but it is not a bad place.
He was thinking about where to go to get information next, and as he walked forward, a figure suddenly walked out of a remote courtyard on the side of the road.
“Mr.
The sound is crisp and sweet, like the sound of a clear spring.
Xia Jingyun looked at the girl in front of him. Although her hair was vulgar and her makeup was ugly, with his discerning eyes that he had trained over the years, he saw a top-notch figure under the dim light of the lantern.
He said calmly: "Do you know me?"
The girl nodded, "My young lady was also watching the literary meeting that day. She saw Mr. Xia's charming demeanor. This time she saw Mr. Xia coming out of Sister Ning Bing's place, so she took the liberty to come here and hoped that Mr. Xia would show her favor."
Xia Jingyun looked to the side, "What about my friend?"
The girl said: "There are thirty-one sisters in the building tonight, and a total of twenty-four guests will be received tonight. Which one does this young master like? I can help recommend it."
Xia Jingyun's heart moved, "Are you familiar with your place?"
The girl nodded, "My young lady is very pretty, so I have a lot of free time, so I got to know her a little bit."
Xia Jingyun decisively took out the fifty taels of silver and stuffed it into Xu Dapeng's hand, "Brother Boyi, I'll see you tomorrow!"
After paying the money, he followed the maid into the courtyard. The courtyard was called [Linhua Courtyard]. In Xia Jingyun's opinion, the name was more charming than the Green Bamboo Courtyard over there, but the furnishings inside were far inferior.
The surrounding scenery is monotonous, the walls are mottled, the lights are dim, and figures are swaying slightly in the autumn wind. Although it is very clean, it gives off a dry and desolate atmosphere, and it does not look like there are frequent guests coming and going. .
"Master, please rest for a moment, I will go and invite my young lady."
"Since I'm here, I don't mind anything. The girl can just sit down and talk. Why bother pretending anymore."
The "maid" was slightly startled, then smiled and said: "I never thought that Mr. Xia is not only amazing in literary talent, but also has amazing insights. But this little girl is so self-righteous."
She bowed her head and said, "Yunxian has met the young master."
Then he invited Xia Jingyun into the room, sat down on a round stool, and said gently: "Master, would you like to drink wine or tea?"
Xia Jingyun looked at the charming figure and ordinary face in front of him, smiling and thinking, "I have many doubts in my heart. If Miss Yunxian can't answer my doubts, I won't dare to drink wine or tea."
"The young master is so frank, but it seems that the little girl is not frank enough."
She stood tall and looked at Xia Jingyun, "The little girl was abducted when she was young and sold into prostitution. Although she was forced to die, her innocence was temporarily preserved, but now she is twenty-eight years old and can no longer resist her master. I came here because I admire the young master. The talent name is also because I want to ask the young master to redeem the little girl's life."
She turned around and took out a box from the drawer on the side, which was filled with copper coins and broken silver. "Over the years, I have worked hard to save forty-seven taels of silver. If the little girl comes, the boss will definitely not let her go." I will add more money. But if the young master goes there, with the young master’s current momentum, the owner may be willing to get married. If successful, the little girl will repay the young master as soon as possible."
You want me to use the bus for private use...Xia Jingyun thought to himself.
That's not right. If it's as she said, it doesn't count.
But I came here to get some news, so what's going on with a girl?
"But what benefits can I get?" Xia Jingyun's expression was calm, showing no emotion or anger, nor any tendency.
Miss Yunxian paused for a moment, bit her silver teeth, and removed her poor makeup in the basin nearby, revealing a face as clear as a hibiscus. Her bright face instantly lit up the room.
She bent her knees and bowed down, "Yunxian is willing to serve the young master from now on, without asking for any status. I hope you can help me."
Xia Jingyun narrowed his eyes slightly, but still sat upright with a heart of stone, "I don't lack women, and I have no idea of having a woman by my side now, and I don't have the dignity to ask for anything from the owner of this brothel. .”
Before the poisonous snake that was spying on him was caught, he didn't dare to trust anyone easily, especially someone like this who took the initiative to approach him.
The girl Yun Xian, who was still kneeling on the ground, raised her head, her eyes flashing and praying, "I can help you."
Xia Jingyun raised his eyebrows.
"Young Master must be here to inquire about something. Yunxian grew up in the building and helps out in the building on weekdays. He knows the situation here very well."
Xia Jingyun looked at the woman in front of him and said calmly: "How do you know I'm not here to do something that men like?"
"Because in the eyes of the young master, there is not even half of the desire in the eyes of those men."
These words made Xia Jingyun look squarely at the girl in front of him.
He pondered for a moment, then calmed down and asked, "So since last night, have you ever seen anyone with an injured right arm in the building?"
Miss Yunxian thought for a moment and shook her head.
Just when Xia Jingyun felt a burst of disappointment, he heard Miss Yunxian continue: "But, I know that someone used wound medicine in the room last night, and the dose was quite large."
Xia Jingyun's eyes froze for a moment.
