Chang Ning was tall and stood in front, protecting Li Qingyi and Isatis Lan behind him, followed by two "boys" sent by Qin Zeng to protect them.
The corners of Mama Liu's aqua skirt embroidered with broken branches of peonies were flying all the way. She held the thin and tender handkerchief and gently tossed it in her hand, sending the warm fragrance straight to Chang Ning's face.
She took a step forward and asked with a smile: "How are you, gentlemen! Is this your first time to Baoyue Pavilion? How do you want to play? Our Baoyue Pavilion is no better than Yuxiang." On the floor, the guests all say that if we are talking about being romantic and considerate, we girls from Baoyue Pavilion..."
Li Qingyi and Isam looked at Changning together. Changning coughed awkwardly and said to Liu's mother, "Mom, please prepare a private room."
Mother Liu looked at the few people without leaving a trace. When she saw how well behaved they were, she smiled and led them upstairs.
The few people arrived at the right time, and the grand finale had just begun. From the moment they entered the private room, all they could hear were praises for A-Yuan. Those who were lucky enough to have seen A-Yuan dance were talking about how she amazes everyone. Fabulous.
The furnishings in the private room are very elegant, and there are also four treasures of the study.
Help me pass the water cards and flower cards.
Mother Liu smiled and asked: "I wonder what kind of girl you guys like? Is she more delicate? Or gentle? Why don't you drink some drinks first, listen to a little song and watch a few dances?"
Li Qingyi took the water sign and took a few glances at it, then said: "I won't use the flower sign today. I'll serve a plate of sheep's hooves, a plate of drunken crabs, a few side dishes, and a pot of tea."
The business in Baoyue Pavilion has been booming recently, and it was the same today. If there hadn't been a private room that had been temporarily withdrawn, they might have been crowded with those people in the hall downstairs.
The helper agreed neatly, bowed and retreated. Mother Liu's eyes wandered around the people and said enthusiastically: "If you have any instructions, young masters, just call me over!"
Several layers of thin gauze curtains hung down from the cantilever beams in the hall. With the faint and graceful voice, the downstairs suddenly became quiet. Half of the lights in the hall were extinguished. In the dim light, fiery red dresses were spinning and flying from top to bottom. , falling to the stage.
Everyone sighed that it was really like a fairy descending to earth, and their breathing slowed down a bit.
Li Qingyi didn't expect to catch up with A Yuan's performance, and he was looking at the stage intently, only to hear a woman's voice as sweet as an oriole's cry, "A Yuan has kept you waiting for a long time."
Zheng! A sonorous piano sound suddenly sounded. Behind the snow-white gauze, Ayuan suddenly threw away her red sleeves, and jumped up in a red dress. The sleeves gathered and dispersed with the flowing piano music, setting off layers of waves.
I saw her light toes tapping and spinning gracefully on the stage. The water sleeves are lightly relaxed, and the slender fingertips are exposed from the sleeves, folded into orchids.
Just when everyone was sighing at this scene, the music suddenly changed, the figure spun again, and snow-white feathers suddenly fell from the sky. With the clothes flying, red clothes and white feathers, the sounds of surprise and admiration could not be heard.
Even though Li Qingyi had just seen A Yuan's dancing in Linjiang Pavilion during the day, he was praising her again and again, "If a girl like this falls in love with Lin Ji, who will believe her if she says it?"
Silan nodded, "I don't believe it either! But it's true that that little pervert Lin Ji spent a lot of money on A Yuan. But the Lin family in Nanning Marquis Mansion is almost broke. Where did he get the money?"
"Spending a lot of money is just that. In fact, it may not be true, but Lin Ji must often spend money on A Yuan."
Just as he was talking, the atmosphere in the audience had been aroused. Some people were throwing gold and silver directly at A Yuan's feet. There were also gold and silver rewards in various private rooms. The most eye-catching one was a boy who was holding a carved hollow silver coin. There was a plate with a thick stack of banknotes on it.
Silan stretched her neck to take a look and said in surprise: "Girl, isn't that the boy next to Mr. Wei San!"
Li Qingyi looked carefully in the direction of woad's finger, "It's true!"
Over there, Ayuan smiled and thanked everyone, but did not stop. Seeing the young man step forward, he glanced at a private room upstairs, nodded vaguely, then stood up and left.
Li Qingyi raised a smile and said, "Call Mother Liu to come up!"
Mother Liu knew that these noble gentlemen would definitely ask for someone from her, so she pretended to be stupid and asked: "I think you all have heard of our girl, but she is no worse than Yuxiang Tower. What do these young gentlemen like?" One?"
Mother Liu is very proud of how proud she is now, especially after A Yuan went to Linjiang Pavilion today to run for the Oiran election and won. She was afraid that others would not know that their reputation surpassed that of Yuxiang Tower. She had mentioned it several times since they entered the house. .
Li Qingyi was wearing a moon-white gown. He was short in stature but very magnanimous. He asked casually, "Is it better than Yuxianglou? Which one is not worse than Yuxianglou? But that one just now?"
Mother Liu bowed and said with a smile: "As soon as I heard what the young master said, I knew that the young master has extraordinary taste. Many of the girls here do not show their faces in front of others..."
Mother Liu held up her handkerchief and smiled, but said no more, showing off with a proud look on her face.
After all, Changning was Qin Zeng's friend. He had been in the market since he was a child, and quickly adapted to the atmosphere here. He took out a hundred-tael silver note and stuffed it into her hand and said, "Mom, please tell me carefully?"
Mother Liu's eyes lit up, her smile became more genuine, and she put the banknotes into her sleeves naturally. She guessed where these big benefactors came from, and they must have come for A Yuan. That girl is a stubborn person, and she has idea.
There is nothing I can do against her now. On the sixth day of next month, I will definitely make a lot of money!
Mother Liu's eyes rolled around, and she said enthusiastically: "Nujia naturally knows everything and tells everything! I must have heard about it, the young master. The Liuhua in our building is a true national beauty of peony. No one can see it." I can’t move! There are green clothes..."
After talking for a long time, but unable to get to the point, Li Qingyi gradually figured out the clue and interrupted Mother Liu: "Mom is a sensible person at first glance, so I will speak frankly. If Miss A Yuan is free, please ask mother to do it." It’s convenient.”
After saying that, she took out another five hundred taels of silver notes and pressed it on the table. Mother Liu didn't expect that this young master was so generous and handed out so much money before seeing anyone. She was stunned for a moment and immediately realized why. :
"Ouch! Young master, you don't know something. Our Ayuan has grown up under my command since she was a child. She is well-behaved and obedient. I look at that little face! I love her so much! Since she first appeared, she has only occasionally performed on the stage. There are no outsiders. The sixth day of next month is A Yuan’s grooming day. She has not left the boudoir for several days. During the day, she was choosing the oiran in Linjiang Pavilion. She just danced again, and now she is exhausted! I feel so bad. It’s here!”
After a woman loses her virginity, she no longer has the right to keep her hair in braids, and must wear her hair in a bun, which is called combing. The combing day mentioned by Liu's mother is the day when A Yuan is arranged to receive guests for the first time.
Only guests who pay a high price can obtain this right.
A-Yuan won the title and her social status soared. Liu's mother fully expected to make a lot of money that day.
After hearing this, Li Qingyi had some guesses about A Yuan's private interactions with Lin Jihe for the third master.
Because the "Sixth Day of the Lunar New Year" was coming soon, that's why she was so eager to risk a private meeting with Lin Ji!
Li Qingyi thought for a while and smiled at Liu's mother: "Don't worry, mom, I just want to say a few words to Miss A Yuan and won't stay for a long time."
Upon hearing this, Mama Liu only said a few words, she felt relieved, put away her troubled expression, and said happily: "In that case, gentlemen, please wait a moment!"
Not long after Mama Liu left the private room, a girl wearing a honey-colored dress walked in, but there was no sign of A Yuan.
"My maid is Biying. I am the girl's personal maid. She is tired. I hope you gentlemen can understand her. My maid knows everything about the girl. It's the same if you guys have anything to say to me."
This girl had pretty features and very smart and beautiful eyes. She just casually looked at Li Qingyi and others, then she declined for A Yuan with a low eyebrow and her words were tepid.
It seems that A Yuan is not willing to meet everyone.
Li Qingyi's suspicions became more solid.
