Yu Zhi came back with a relieved smile on his face.
Liu Rushuang knew that Yu Zhi had succeeded and successfully confirmed that Xiao Jinghong would pay for him for the flower wine tonight. Back then, Li Haomiao cheated on food and drinks like this in Kyoto, and he never thought that his nephew would also follow in his footsteps.
Liu Rushuang was really embarrassed to look at Yu Zhi. This was the first time he had done such a thing. What she didn't know was that Xiao Jinghong wanted to give Yu Zhi some favors but had nowhere to start. Just now, Yu Zhi showed up and Xiao Jinghong was happy before it was too late.
With just a little money, you can get a friendship, so why not?
However, next, Yu Zhi will let Xiao Jinghong know what a mere amount of money means.
"Aunt Liu, hurry up, call someone to rub my shoulders and massage my legs."
Yu Zhi had the air of a nouveau riche, but now he was wealthy and spoke much more forcefully.
When Liu Rushuang saw Yu Zhi with his legs crossed and acting very "domineering", he immediately smiled and called a girl with a graceful waist to gently rub Yu Zhi's shoulders.
Yu Zhi was enjoying himself comfortably, occasionally shouting out one or two words that were only used by the nouveau riche, and learned them in a decent manner.
"Aunt Liu, do you think I have the potential to be a dandy?" Yu Zhi got a pair of sunglasses from somewhere, smacking freshly roasted melon seeds in his mouth, and replaced the tea cup with the best Longjing, Erlang's legs Once it is raised, it looks like a lazy person walking with support.
Liu Rushuang saw the melon seed shells all over the ground, looked at Yu Zhi again, and said with a smile: "You are just a disobedient child at best, a playboy...you are not worthy enough." Yu Zhi pretended to be the same. There are many differences between the prostitutes who often come to Yihong Building on weekdays, even in temperament.
Yu Zhi was very distressed. He slid his sunglasses down his nose, revealing a pair of clear eyes, and said angrily: "It's a rare opportunity to learn from those dandy's domineering looks, but I can't learn the essence. Alas, it's not easy to get along these days."
Liu Rushuang chuckled. She didn't know why Yu Zhi was obsessed with imitating those dandy young men, and said, "Those dandy young men are not like you who ate melon seeds all over the ground and drank a pot of tea."
"Oh? What do they usually do?"
"What can I do in Yihong Building?" Liu Rushuang looked at the girl who had been squeezing Yu Zhi's shoulders.
Yu Zhi's face turned red, looking slightly embarrassed.
"Hahaha, Xiao Yu'er, you are much worse than your uncle. A guy with a lustful heart but no courage. Not to mention that Aunt Liu treats you badly, Xiao Hua'er is still a baby. If it weren't for you, I would really be reluctant to call Xiao Hua'er out. Here’s the reception.”
Xiao Hua'er's face behind Yu Zhi also turned red. She was sold into Yihong Mansion since she was a child. Fortunately, Liu Rushuang took care of her and she never suffered much. She also knew that in the land of fireworks at Yihong Tower, she would not be able to escape the fate of picking up guests.
I met Yu Zhi today. He was about the same age and handsome. Xiao Hua'er's mind moved. In the end, if we lose the first time, why not be the person we are today? She had already learned how to serve others. When she heard Liu Rushuang's words, her slender hands quietly slid from Yu Zhi's shoulders to her chest.
Xiao Hua'er is a young child, and Yu Zhi is even more so.
When slightly cold fingers gently touched his chest, Yu Zhi's hair suddenly stood up. As a young child, he naturally has to have the consciousness of being a young child. He reached out and held the cold hands to stop Xiao Hua'er's next movement.
When Liu Rushuang saw this, she sighed in her heart and said, "You can't learn to be as romantic as your uncle."
Yu Zhi smiled, straightened his sunglasses, and put Xiao Hua'er's hands back on his shoulders. Food and color are also in nature, but Yu knew that what he ate was Li Wantong's color.
The little flower behind him was slightly disappointed. In fact, she already knew that this young man was not here to have fun. Because Yu Zhi never turned to look at her from beginning to end. He was not interested, so naturally he had no sexual interest.
...
As the screens on the stage in the lobby on the first floor were opened one by one, wisps of piano music filled the entire Yihong Building. On the stage, many young girls in thin robes appeared dancing to the music of the piano. These girls are beautiful and have excellent dancing skills. They must be like oirans in other brothels, but they are destined to be just supporting roles in Yihong Pavilion in Kyoto.
Yu Zhi saw many owners appearing on the seats in the stands, including many acquaintances. Zhao Jie, the son of the Minister of Punishment, and Bai Li, the young son of the Minister of Hubu. Yu Zhi looked around for a few times, but did not see Bai Yu.
"Aunt Liu, can that little kid with no hair even come in?" Yu Zhi looked at Bai Li and asked.
Liu Rushuang followed Yu Zhi's gaze. She had also heard from other guests about the good deeds Yu Zhi had done to Bai Li, but she left it alone because there was no evidence. "Yihonglou opens its doors to do business and earns money. Even if the eunuch father-in-law in the palace wants to have fun, Yihonglou will open its doors for convenience. Do you know how much the Bai family's stand is worth?"
Yu Zhi shook his head. Baili's position was also very good, enough to see the entire stage clearly.
"That stand of his is worth a thousand taels of silver."
Yu Zhi stared and touched the chair under his butt in disbelief. The location of the two is almost the same, with two sides separated to the left and right from the central stand, so the prices are naturally about the same.
"Shang Shu's family is indeed rich." Yu Zhi muttered as he looked at Zhao Jie, who was sitting slightly behind.
There are three people picking flowers tonight, and the last one is the oiran. The guests who come here all want to see the mysterious courtesan.
Sing a song.
There was only a veiled woman left on the stage. Her slim figure was outlined in purple attire, and her slender legs were looming under the cover of the floral purple robe. There is a hint of temptation in the woman's eyebrows, and her smile makes people bump into her even though she is covered by a veil.
This is the first shepherd to pick flowers.
After the erotic dance, many people were blushing and their hearts were beating, and some guys with poor self-control had already returned to the private room with a girl in their arms to indulge in sex.
It was the first time that Yu Zhi had seen such a scene, and his aura was somewhat disturbed. A young man's desire cannot withstand teasing, especially a young man as vigorous as Yu Zhi.
"You really don't want Little Flower to relieve you?" Liu Rushuang's voice was like a demon's call, full of mysterious temptation.
Yu Zhi shook his head like a rattle and rejected this beautiful and desirable proposal. If there is Li Wantong behind him, he has both a lustful heart and a lustful courage. Yu Zhi thought he was still such a passionate person.
"There's something different about her." Yu Zhi had a strange feeling in his heart. Although he was just starting out, Qiu Ruoruo and Nuo Min were both beautiful and fragrant women, but they couldn't control themselves in front of this woman in purple clothes.
Is it just because of that charming dance and looming figure?
Liu Rushuang glanced at Yu Zhi approvingly. It is common for "weird people" to appear in Yihong Tower. This is the land of romantic fireworks, and there is always some obscene smell. Besides, we also encountered flower picking tonight, and the decorations were carefully selected and thoughtful.
"Hua'er, give Xiao Yu'er a cup of ice leaf tea."
Xiao Hua'er smiled and took Yu Zhi's cup of fine Longjing away. Obviously, she was also aware of the weirdness in it.
Ice leaves grow in the land of ice and snow, and naturally have a hint of coldness. Therefore, every summer, they are often soaked in tea to relieve the heat. Because the place where it grows is sparsely populated, ice leaves are extremely rare and not cheaper than the best Longjing.
Yu Zhi was surprised that royal tributes like Bingye would appear in places like Yihong Tower. After thinking about it carefully, everyone said that Yihong Building was opened by a big shot, so it seemed reasonable.
"Is the problem with the tea?" Yu Zhi asked.
Liu Rushuang said with a smile: "Yes and no. I was surprised that Xiao Yu'er could feel the strangeness. After all, these people will only imagine the more beautiful scenes next after seeing such a beautiful scene. No matter how their heart beats, their blood surges. Reasonable. As the old saying goes, it is difficult for a hero to be a beauty."
Yu Zhi nodded. Liu Rushuang admitted that she had done something, but she hid it from everyone.
"Each pot of water contains a drop of snake juice." Liu Rushuang explained.
Yu Zhi suddenly realized that he felt that the heat all over his body was not just because of the purple-clothed woman in front of him, but also because of the snake's sexual juice. Snake Flower is more powerful than the Snake Flower used by Yu Zhi. It is often used in medicine to promote blood circulation, but the juice of Snake Flower must be diluted hundreds of times, otherwise it will just be an aphrodisiac.
This is a clever method!
One drop of juice can make hundreds of people in Yihong Tower come to their heads, which is simply wonderful.
Yu Zhi looked at the tea cups and wine glasses held by those people and sighed slightly. I never imagined that there would be so many flowers and flowers to enjoy.
"Aren't you afraid of being discovered?" Yu Zhi was puzzled.
Liu Rushuang even laughed and said: "Silly, so what if I discovered it? Snake desire flowers are just for fun. They treat illnesses when they are sick and activate blood circulation when they are not. It makes these young masters more enthusiastic and makes junior brothers like you more unrestrained. "
Yu Zhi gave another thumbs up. Without seeing these methods, he thought they were nothing more than that, but once he saw them, he looked up at them like a mountain.
I admire you!
"Smell the air again."
Yu Zhi sniffed it carefully with his nose and said, "There is something different. Could it be..." Yu Zhi's eyes widened, this place was full of tricks.
"There is a datura flower growing in the backyard of Yihonglou. The fragrance is mild and mild. Once its petals are crushed into juice, the essential oil is made into an addictive poison."
"Aunt Liu, aren't you afraid of being discovered?" Yu Zhi asked again.
"I didn't harm them. The Snake Flower is so precious. It grows in a place like the Viper Valley where there is a near-death situation. Most people can't use it in their lifetime. Moreover, the process of making essential oil from Datura flowers is also extremely cumbersome. It takes hundreds of flowers to make it. Give me a drop of essential oil." Liu Rushuang said angrily.
Yu Zhi smiled awkwardly, the Snake Desire Flower was hundreds of times more precious than the Snake Desire Vine. Although the medicinal properties are the same, the medicinal effects are vastly different. He felt more and more that Yihong Tower was a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, and Liu Rushuang was not a simple person.
Yes, how can he be a simple person who has such a stable position in Yihong Tower.
Xiao Hua'er brought a cup of tea, and a white leaf floated in the clear water, exuding a cold air.
"Drink it, so you don't have to hold it in so hard." Liu Rushuang's teasing made Yu Zhi feel embarrassed.
Yu Zhi drank tea and looked at Liu Rushuang. The previous brief contact did not reveal another side of Liu Rushuang.
"Why are you looking at me?"
Yu Zhi answered honestly: "I was just thinking that Aunt Liu is lucky to be my uncle's best friend, otherwise my little body would have been eaten clean by you." Yu Zhi can believe that there are more people in Yihong Mansion than just him now. Know these.
"Why do you think Aunt Liu is a bad person?" Liu Rushuang was not angry, as if she liked hearing Yu Zhi talk like this.
"Aunt Liu told me all the secrets of Yihong Tower. In this way, Aunt Liu is a good person. Hehehe. Besides, Aunt Liu also wants to find me a girl to spend the night with. Can she still be considered a bad person?" Yu It's natural to know what to say.
"You have a conscience, kid."
…
"Eleven thousand taels."
"Twelve thousand taels."
"Thirteen thousand taels."
The base price is 10,000 taels of snowflake silver. Each increase in price is one thousand taels of silver. The purity of snowflake silver is at least 90% silver, which is not comparable to that of fine silver.
The passionate shouts plunged Yu Zhidu into a crazy atmosphere.
"I don't know how much effect the juice of the snake flower and the incense of the datura flower played?" Yu Zhi muttered. After taking a sip of ice leaf tea, Yu Zhi felt much clearer, and the uncontrollable surging energy and blood gradually calmed down. He was no longer as hot-headed as those servants who were shouting prices for their masters.
"Twenty thousand taels."
This was Xiao Jinghong's voice, which directly raised the price from fifteen thousand taels to twenty thousand taels. Spending a lot of money is nothing more than that.
Everyone was in an uproar. The money is his own, and the price of 20,000 taels has exceeded the price of this woman.
Mr. Gui showed a surprised look and shouted: "His Royal Highness paid twenty thousand taels for the girl in purple's first night, twenty thousand taels. Do you want to increase the price?"
Mr. Turtle stretched out two fingers, trembling. A high price of 20,000 taels rarely appears in the first round. Nowadays, it is not common for Prince Zhao to give face like this.
"What happened to the prince? He spent 20,000 taels of silver on the first game." Someone murmured. Obviously, he also has a crush on the woman in purple, but he can't get it.
"The prince has returned from injury and is showing off his talents. Do you still want the prince to compete? Hahahaha." The person next to him looked at it very lightly and comforted his friend.
"As a prince, shouldn't he pick the oiran among the flowers he picks?"
"..."
"Twenty thousand taels. Prince Zhao has offered twenty thousand taels of snowflake silver. Is there anyone else who wants to bid?" The short and ugly turtle man stood in front of the tall and beautiful woman in purple, a sharp contrast.
Mr. Turtle knew that no one would bid again. First of all, this is already the top price. Every prostitute has his or her own price, and the girl in purple in front of her is worth about seventeen thousand taels of silver. Now it has been raised to 20,000 taels of silver, which is a lot of luck. Secondly, this is Jamel Xiao's move. These young masters want to fight, but they also want to give Jamel Xiao some face.
The final word.
In this way, the woman in purple was captured by Xiao Jamhong.
The purple-clothed woman saluted Xiao Jinghong, feeling grateful that she had not been picked off by those merchants who were shaped like spheres. And as Xiao Jinghong was a relative of the emperor, she was a high-ranking brothel girl.
Mr. Turtle started the second scene without any hurry, and those women with the waist of water snakes once again appeared on the stage dancing.
The woman in purple was sent to a certain wing, waiting for the flower picking to end so that Jamel Xiao could be lucky. Maybe this would be an opportunity to fly up a branch and become a phoenix.
"I thought the prince came here for the oiran of Yihong Mansion, but he offered to pick flowers on the first occasion. It's not like his style." Liu Rushuang was quite surprised by Xiao Jinghong's behavior.
Yu Zhi looked at Xiao Jinghong, who was surrounded by orioles, with envy in his eyes. He also wanted to shout out twenty thousand taels. However, the family has only four walls...
"Aunt Liu, do you know this prince?"
Liu Rushuang shook his head and said: "We have met several times. This prince is very polite to everyone, and does not have the airs of those princes and nobles. Therefore, his reputation in Kyoto is also very good. Even the royal family hangs out in brothels and romantic places. , it’s just that he is romantic.”
Yu Zhi touched his chin, and through his sunglasses, the gray Jamel Xiao was looking for fun in his eyes, very much like those young men who only love to have fun. However, Yu Zhi didn’t think so.
"Don't you think someone with a background like Prince Zhao shouldn't have some dandy qualities? His reputation is so strange."
A strange look flashed in Liu Rushuang's eyes, and then she smiled and said, "Why do you think so of the Crown Prince? Just now the Crown Prince paid for your wine, and you are still arranging others behind the scenes?"
"I've been bullied since I was a child, and I look at the good people around me as bad people. Besides, I was chased by several assassins a few days ago, so I have to guard against it. His Highness the Crown Prince and I are not related, so we are not related. You want to make friends with me. I am a high-ranking official, a relative of the emperor, but I am a humble official. Don’t Aunt Liu think that the prince thinks too highly of me?"
What Yu Zhi said makes sense.
There is no such thing as a free lunch or a free pie.
Yu Zhi felt that this Prince Zhao was not simple. From the first time they met at Baiweiju, Yu Zhi could feel Xiao Jinghong's restrained arrogance. At the beginning, Xiao Jinghong's politeness and humility were directed at Ye Qinghuan and Qiu Ruoruo, not Yu Zhi, who was burdened with the shame of asking questions.
Now, just a month later, Xiao Jinghong's attitude towards Yu Zhi is completely different.
Xiao Jinghong felt Yu Zhi's gaze, picked up the wine glass and raised it in Yu Zhi's direction.
Yu Zhi naturally raised his glass in the same way. Although he felt that Jamel Xiao had bad intentions, he would still reject the smile that was hard to distinguish between genuine and fake.
"Master Yu, the Crown Prince asked me to bring you a message."
The speaker was Meng Duanzhang, who walked from Xiao Jinghong to Yu Zhi.
Yu Zhi put down his legs. "Please say."
Meng Duanzhang didn't understand the reason why his master did this, but he still followed Xiao Jinghong's intention and said: "The girl in purple is already waiting in the wing. If Brother Yu is in a hurry, he can go to the wing to have fun."
These were Xiao Jinghong's original words, and Meng Duanzhang imitated them perfectly. Only the last few bursts of laughter reflected Xiao Jinghong's appearance.
Yu Zhi's expression was strange. He had received various gifts from Qiu Ruoruo and Li Qingru, including the Four Books and Five Classics, Qi Men Dun Jia, and some weird things, but things like women... Yu Zhi was the first receive.
Spend twenty thousand taels of silver just to make Yu Zhi a friend?
Yu Zhi didn't believe it himself.
