At dawn the next day, as soon as Jia Lian woke up, waves of strange fragrance entered his mind.
Suddenly realizing where he was, he immediately opened his eyes. The familiar colorful silk curtain hanging from the beam of the ship reminded him of many scenes from last night.
He frowned slightly and let go of the soft body in his arms. He turned over and sat up. After just a glance, his expression became unnatural.
He was currently in the inner cabin connected to the ship's hall. This inner cabin is different from the basically completely open cabin, but it looks like a normal cabin. And now, he is sitting in the middle on a soft couch that is two or three times larger than an ordinary bed.
There is a difference between a couch and a bed. In terms of form, it usually has no extraneous things such as bedposts and bed curtains. It is a flat surface. It can be said that it is a low table with a mattress on it.
These are not important. What matters is that at this moment, all the extra clothes are gone, leaving only a pair of close-fitting trousers and robes.
And on and off the couch, there was a feeling of spring, and the body was delicate and beautiful!
More than a dozen beauties were lying or lying down, twisting or lying on the edge of the couch. Moreover, almost each of them only wore a bellyband and a pair of tight-fitting pants, and only two or three of them wore simple thin shirts.
Correspondingly, there are head and face jewelry scattered all over the floor, as well as messy red and willow green clothes, combined with the fragrance of fruit wine that has not yet dissipated in the air, which corresponds to Bai Juyi's poem:
"The silver grate on the tin head shattered into pieces, and the bloody skirt was stained by wine."
Seeing the ridiculous scene in front of him, Jia Lian angrily slapped the beautiful woman next to her on the buttocks, causing Shen Pan'er, who was still drunk, to groan.
It was because of this woman that last night, under her instigation and encouragement, after she had learned the skills of countless famous Jiangnan prostitutes, she led a group of beauties to drink and have fun, almost all night long.
The specific process is also blurred. I only remember that after everyone got drunk and became more interested, there was a competition between beauties, and the loser had to widen his belt and untie his skirt.
Perhaps this is the reason why all the beauties are half-dressed at the moment...
As for why his clothes were gone, it was probably because the beauties stripped him for justice.
Slight headache. I still remember that when he got on the boat last night, he just wanted to listen to music, enjoy a dance, and at most watch the beauties eat and drink, that's all.
"My lord is awake, let's drink a bowl of sobering tea."
Aqin discovered it as soon as Jia Lian woke up. She was already in the tea room and immediately poured a bowl of tea over.
Because there were beauties everywhere, she could only walk over cautiously, as if avoiding a trap, which made her look at Jia Lian and smile knowingly.
Jia Lian was a little embarrassed. After taking the tea and taking a sip, he asked, "Did you not sleep last night?"
"I slept. But while I was still drinking with the beauties, I woke up. It's not that I don't know that my sister and I usually take turns sleeping. Otherwise, if there is an assassin among these beauties, Who will protect me? Last night, I..."
"Ahem~"
Jia Lian coughed slightly, interrupting Ah Qin's words, and said quickly: "Thank you for your hard work."
As expected, Wenrou Township is the Tomb of Heroes. Even a cautious person like him relaxed his vigilance due to a moment of indulgence last night.
Although these beauties all look delicate, there is a huge gap between their hearts. If one of them really wanted to assassinate him, it would be possible to do it under the skin-to-skin contact.
This matter is worthy of self-examination.
But having said that, there were times when things were difficult, and after this experience, at least it would be difficult for him to fall into the hands of women in the future. After all, the beauty, talents, and even talents of these twelve beauties are all superior to the last.
I'm afraid that even an emperor who can recruit beauties from all over the world for his own use would be hard-pressed to come up with so many beauties of such quality at once, let alone others.
Perhaps this is why he insisted on staying last night, he wanted to challenge his weakness.
The result was very successful. Even in the end, when all the drunken beauties lowered their eyebrows and showed an attitude of getting everything they wanted from him, he still stuck to his initial plan and did not mess it up wantonly.
Ah Qin originally wanted to make fun of Jia Lian, but seeing the beauties around her waking up one after another, she took the bowl and went back.
And the beauties who woke up suddenly realized that they were in embarrassment, and each of them was more panicked than the other. You know, all of them are usually high-ranking oiran ladies, who can condescendingly look down on ordinary people in the world, as well as the sisters in the building who can only rely on their bodies to please men, and are clean and self-sufficient.
After briefly observing the scene, they scrambled to find their own clothes to wear.
During the process, it was natural to pull each other and make noise, which would wake up everyone else.
Jia Lian watched everything in front of him quietly. Perhaps it was due to their beauty that even this scene, which would usually be caused by vulgar fans, looked elegant and beautiful at this time, not vulgar at all.
Fortunately, it was almost March in spring, and the weather was not as cold as before. In addition, the cabin was not only burning charcoal fire, but also decorated very luxuriously and warmly. Even the floor was covered with furs. Otherwise, it would have been scattered everywhere. The drunken beauties on the ground must catch the cold.
Xu Shi slept most comfortably on the couch. Shen Pan'er and Gu Qingyi, who were on the left and right of Jia Lian, woke up last.
Forget about Beauty Shen, she almost slept in Jia Lian's arms. And Gu Qingyi, although she was sleeping on the couch for some reason, was far away from Jia Lian. When Jia Lian woke up, her back was turned to him.
Seeing that she was the only one who was relatively well-dressed, Jia Lian picked her up and sat in his arms when she was about to turn over and lie down.
The beauty was quite panicked at first, but then she remembered something, her face showed a hint of shyness and a hint of resignation, and she calmed down.
Jia Lian stopped looking at her, and instead glanced at the eleven beauties standing in a row in front of him, all dressed in disheveled clothes.
Among the eleven stunning beauties, even according to Jia Lian's standards, at least half are above nine points, and the remaining half are at least around eight or nine points. In other words, just in terms of appearance, the weakest among them can still be compared with the Xiren and Yuanyang in the family, and even clearly wins with the blessing of their respective erotic skills.
There were more than a dozen beauties like this, all wearing spring shirts, standing in a row like a beauty pageant, looking at him shyly and timidly. Just this feeling was very exciting. Maybe that's why he was so drunk last night that everyone else got drunk!
Thinking of the beauty pageant, Jia Lian couldn't help but lament that even the most powerful entertainment company in later generations would be hard-pressed to find more than ten beauties like this.
Apart from anything else, most of these geishas were only in high school in their youth.
Only in this era, with extreme power and wealth, can one be worthy of being created.
The beauties obviously recalled the absurdity of last night, and felt ashamed and embarrassed. At this time, they were being looked at by Jia Lian, and they were all sitting on pins and needles.
Someone's stomach just happened to be unhappy, and he suddenly made a clear "gurgling" sound. In the quiet scene, everyone was stunned, and then they all touched their stomachs in unison.
As top-notch courtesans and geishas, they have long developed the habit of eating as little as possible except for tea and wine before and after the performance. At most, it can only be supplemented with a little snack.
There are many reasons for this, for example, to prevent a bulging belly from affecting the figure and body flexibility, to prevent residual food from being left in the mouth, and to prevent gas produced by food digestion from being involuntarily eliminated from the body...
In short, from yesterday afternoon to now, none of them have eaten anything that satisfies their stomachs. It is very common for them to feel hungry until now.
Jia Lian couldn't help but laugh when he saw the beauty who made the noise blushed and wanted to hide behind others.
"I didn't see you eating anything last night, are you all hungry? Someone is here..."
Jia Lian smiled and asked the maid to go down and tell the people below to go to Wangjiang Tower to order a table of noodles and bring them over. After the beauties thanked each other, they found that Jia Lian was still naked and asked Jia Lian if he wanted to change clothes.
Jia Lian nodded. When the beauties went to look for his clothes, he had time to lower his head and look at the beauty in his arms.
There is no need to describe a beauty that can compare with or even surpass Miaoyu. No matter from the skin or the inner bones, this woman can be called perfect.
Although this kind of perfection seems to be deliberately carved, it is only in this way that it can make people feel impeccable and refined.
Jia Lian couldn't help but lift up the beauty's pretty face and sighed softly: "Clear water brings out hibiscus, and natural carvings are taken away. Isn't it talking about a beauty like the girl in Tsing Yi?"
This was the first time she heard Jia Lian praise her since Jia Lian boarded the ship. She was stunned for a moment and almost instinctively replied: "Your Excellency, I am so complimentary. I am so handsome as a slave. I am not worthy of your words... …”
Before she finished speaking, her face turned red with embarrassment.
One reason is that Jia Lian's upper body is completely naked at this time. Her broad chest and majestic muscle lines make her a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, and she feels very frightened.
Another reason is of course the absurdity last night.
She remembered that she was extremely resistant, even disgusted with powerful people, and treated them like playthings. However, she didn't know why, she was confused and got involved in the gathering of people for fun last night.
Her clothes were intact when she woke up, but that wasn't to say she had always been like that. In fact, because of her special status, many of the little sisters targeted her last night and deliberately tried to get her to drink. She was able to refuse at first, but over time she became unable to resist.
Anyway, she knew that she didn't know how many layers of clothes she had lost. She just got up quietly and put them on with great perseverance before falling asleep.
In fact, others are not completely honest. For example, those who lost everything secretly put on some concealing things when others were not paying attention. Otherwise, what Jia Lian saw when he got up would be even more beautiful...
"This is not an outrageous compliment. Speaking of which, there is a maid in my palace. I have always loved her very much. Even though she has a sharp tongue and a perverse personality, I have never been too harsh on her. Just because I am the same. Use this sentence to praise her.
And you are the second woman to be praised so much by me, so I am willing to give you more opportunities and patience.
But no matter how much patience and opportunity you have, it will be useless if someone doesn't cherish it. Although beauty is precious, I don't like beauties who don't show pretense to me.
Therefore, if you really do not follow me voluntarily, don't force yourself to do so. Tell me as soon as possible. I will definitely let you go back and continue to be your number one courtesan. If you don't tell me, if one day I can't help but take you in, you will regret it. "
Jia Lian said with a smile, lightly scratched the beauty's flawless face with his index finger, turned over and got off the couch, leaving the beauty sitting on the couch feeling shy and dumbfounded, touching her face.
Among the beauties who had a drink with Jia Lian last night, who had the most complex feelings, it was probably Gu Qingyi.
You must know that except for a few newly promoted oiran girls, among the others, even the most famous Shen Pan'er and two or three others are just defeated by her men.
As the number one oiran in two consecutive oiran competitions, she was far from getting the attention she deserved from Jia Lian last night.
On the contrary, Shen Paner seems to regard herself as the "heroine". She thought for a long time and felt that she didn't quite understand.
It would be reasonable to say that Jia Lian didn't like her, but from Jia Lian's words and the eyes he occasionally looked at her, she could tell that Jia Lian did appreciate her. But why did he just treat her like an ordinary geisha last night?
Now she finally got a special compliment from Jia Lian, which finally made her regain some confidence. Unexpectedly, Jia Lian changed the topic and showed a hint of indifference.
That she doesn't show any pretense to him? Does it mean that I am not obedient enough and not enthusiastic enough towards him?
Yes, she is indeed not as passionate about him as Shen Pan'er. Thinking of Shen Pan'er, Gu Qingyi still feels hateful. She was the one who instigated everyone to do so many tricks last night. On the contrary, Jia Lian didn't show any eagerness, so in the end it seemed like they usually pretended to be aloof. The courtesans and girls took turns to seduce him.
This is also the reason why they feel so ashamed after sobering up. On the contrary, Jia Lian's appearance, status and huge reputation were fatal to the temptation of courtesans like them. Even if they were all excellent, they still could not hide the fact that they were just prostitutes and low-class women. .
If once he can be chosen by Jia Lian to serve him, not only will he have lifelong support, but also if he can give birth to a son and a half daughters in the future, his class will undergo a dramatic change from then on.
There are too many reasons that make them find Jia Lian irresistible. Therefore, before they drank wine, they could still maintain a reserved attitude, but once they drank wine and their minds became active, they didn't care too much, and there were countless people who threw themselves into their arms overnight.
She was the only one who had always maintained a high degree of elegance and reserve. If she hadn't been forcibly drunk by her jealous sisters, she would never have done anything out of line.
She even thought that with such self-respect and self-love, she would be respected and treated differently by Jia Lian.
Who knew that in his eyes, he would look worthless! When he said he didn't like himself for being so polite to him, he meant to blame her for not being obedient enough. If he told him to go back and continue being an oiran, he meant to scold her for being a geisha who was born to be a geisha!
That's how she understood it.
Wow, life is so hard, I really want to cry...
How could Jia Lian know that just a few words can make a beauty's dream almost shattered!
In fact, he just felt that these courtesans were born with bad luck, and it took a lot of effort to get to this point. If they didn't want to take them away, it would be a beautiful opportunity for everyone to meet each other willingly, and there would be no loss to each other. But if you want to take away everything that belongs to you, you have to make good arrangements for the rest of their lives.
For example, this Gu Qingyi, he didn't say it on his face, but in his heart he was willing to take her away. But this woman has some arrogance, which may be called self-esteem. This is an advantage, but if she maintains a high level of self-esteem at all times, it will be troublesome to bring her home.
What Jia Lian did was to prevent her from having too high expectations of herself from the beginning. In short, it was to suppress her pride.
For example, the reason why we decided to bring Shen Pan'er back to the capital without much consideration was that, apart from her excellent sexual skills and a touch of Qin Keqing's charm, the most important thing was that she had a clear positioning. After taking her in, He won't cause trouble for himself.
So he ignored Gu Qingyi, who looked aggrieved, and when all the beauties worked together to help him put on his clothes, he suddenly asked Shen Pan'er: "I heard you say last night that you are all living in Zhou's Manor now. This is my first... See your Zhou family manor?"
"Yes, before you leave Yangzhou, we will live there so that we can perform for you at any time. Of course, if you are willing to take us back to your hometown, that is also possible..."
Shen Paner chuckled softly. After getting Jia Lian's promise to take her away, she became more and more relaxed and casual in front of Jia Lian.
Jia Lian found the deed of the house he had just obtained, put it in Shen Pan'er's hand, and said, "Just go to the office. The affairs in the yamen are too messy and it is not suitable for you to live in. This is the house in the manor. You have collected the land deed and the list of servants in the manor. From today on, I will leave the manor to you. Whatever you need to eat and use every day, just tell them to get it. The Zhou family There is plenty of money, so you don’t have to save money for them.”
"Sir, this..."
Shen Pan'er was stunned for a moment and wanted to say something, but Jia Lian closed her hand, patted it, and interrupted: "Okay, after you have eaten, you can go back together, I will Leave a team of officers and soldiers to escort you."
After saying this, he went out.
