Han Dongwen turned around and found a rather luxuriously dressed middle-aged man standing in front of him. Judging from his age, he was about forty-five or six, looking at him with a smile on his face.
He glanced at the man subconsciously, and what came into view was the jasper ring in the man's hand, the dazzling red sandalwood bracelet, and a palm-sized mutton-fat jade peace sign hanging on his chest, as if He looked like he had just been fished out of a jewelry store.
"This is the first time we meet, I, Yang Facai, came a little late today, and the private room is gone. Young hero, what do you mean..."
As Yang Facai spoke, he stretched out his hand to shake it without warning.
Han Dongwen stood up from the Grand Master's chair, smiled politely and stretched out his hand: "Of course, please sit down, Boss Yang, junior - junior Chi Hanyang, is feeling a little bored."
Seeing that Han Dongwen had no objections, the waiter waiting at the door breathed a sigh of relief and came up to him with a smile on his face: "Chi Shaoxia, Boss Yang, thank you for your understanding. Yihonglou will give you two fresh fruit ice melons as a gift." , with a pot of tea, you two can choose as you like!"
Yang Facai grinned and sat firmly on the Grand Master's chair: "Chi Shaoxia, don't be polite to them. The tea in Yihong Tower is very good. I have to drink it every time I come here. You order what you like!"
Han Dongwen nodded: "Canary buds, are there any?"
"Golden silk...canary buds, there you go, wait a moment, the little one will go and make some for you two."
The waiter hesitated for a moment and then nodded and left. Han Dongwen sat back on the chair, and Yang Facai's thumb was already stretched out next to him.
"Chi Shaoxia has great taste. Most people have only heard of Longjing jasmine and the like when drinking tea. Canary buds are fragrant and not tight. Although they are not expensive, few people like to drink them. Could it be that Chi Shaoxia is... Are you from Bianzhou?"
Han Dongwen was stunned and replied with a smile: "Haha, Boss Yang is ridiculous. Chi is not from Bianzhou, but he did taste this tea in Bianzhou. Boss Yang is well-informed and juniors admire him!"
As soon as the two of them came back and forth, they had already started to talk a lot.
By the time the tea is brewed, everything is almost ready in the center of the lobby of Yihong Building.
The noisy crowd quieted down, and most of the bright lanterns were removed. The melodious sound of the piano sounded from somewhere, and almost everyone focused their attention on the center of the Tang Dynasty, waiting to see what kind of performance would be on stage there. Stunning.
In the elegant room of Twelve Pavilions, Han Dongwen and Yang Facai were sitting on the railing, looking down at the lobby while continuing to chat about something.
"Chi Shaoxia made a reservation for this private room early today. He must have a goal in mind. How about sharing it, so that we don't end up drinking from the same jar?"
Yang Facai asked with a smile.
The good wine he mentioned was naturally not the wine, but the wine license that represented the girl.
"Not really. I just plan to take a look tonight. From what Boss Yang said, he should be a frequent visitor to Yihong Building. He must be very familiar with Yihong Building?" Han Dongwen shook his head gently.
"Hey, if you're not a familiar customer, you'll become familiar with it after a few visits. There's no way to talk about it!"
Yang Facai waved his hand and laughed: "To be honest with Chi Shaoxia, I came to Yihong Mansion partly for the flowers blooming, and partly to do business for myself."
"Business?"
As soon as Han Dongwen showed a questioning expression, Yang Facai's businessman personality came into play. He stroked a pile of dazzling pearls and jade jewelry hanging around his neck with his fingers: "Look, they are all fine jade, but they are all found in the market." A rare treasure!"
The pile of jade jewelry showed a moist luster under the light of the floor-standing copper lamp. Even though the light was quite dim, it could still be seen that the appearance was indeed extraordinary.
But it is still not as good as the things in the palace.
Han Dongwen had a shocked look on his face: "Boss Yang is powerful! So many top-notch products are really worth a lot of money, but... But how are we going to do business in this Yihong Building?"
Yang Facai smiled: "Young hero, I don't know. This Hundred Flowers Blooming requires more than just money. Precious jewelry and the like can also be used to buy famous wines from Yihonglou."

As he spoke, he moved closer to Han Dongwen and pointed at the Mingbo gun standing beside him: "Other treasures and famous instruments are also acceptable, such as..."
Han Dongwen smiled noncommittally. He had no intention of selling his self-defense items.
After all, today, when a hundred flowers are blooming, Han Dongwen has made up his mind to highlight the most annoying customer who just doesn't want to buy.
I really have a big appetite but a limited wallet.
"Boss Yang, I see that Yihonglou is doing well. Do you know who their shopkeeper is, so you can introduce me to him?"
He said this while the iron was hot. Yang Facai was about to reply when he suddenly heard a silence around him and swallowed half of his words back in his throat.
Offstage, the night of hundreds of flowers blooming began.
There was a gentle and gentle sound of the guqin, and I don’t know who read a line from where:
"The spring night rises, and the willows are green."
Yangliuqing is a good wine from Youzhou. It is refreshing but not spicy, and has a sweet aftertaste.
A woman in a green gauze skirt climbed onto the piano platform with swaying steps, closed her water sleeves in front of her, revealing her lotus-like white arms, and started playing the piano.
She was very beautiful. Han Dongwen secretly thought about the girls in Yihong Mansion in Tianying City. I am afraid that only Bu Qianqian could not lose to the first hundred flowers blooming in Yihong Mansion in Haizhou.
"This Yang Liuqing is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is very elegant. I heard that her literary talent is not inferior to many people in Haizhou who are good at writing and writing. Gee, she is incredible."
Yang Facai smacked his lips, shook his head and commented.
Han Dongwen only thought that the synchronized comments were a bit interesting like a barrage. He turned his head and smiled and said: "Since Yang Liuqing is so outstanding, is Boss Yang going to take action?"
Yang Facai closed his eyes and shook his head quickly:
"No, no, it's too small. I want a bigger one."
Han Dongwen smiled helplessly. At this time, the voice of Bai's introduction sounded again:
"Talk all night long, and with this jug of fine wine, three golden things will come true."
This means that the bidding in the audience has begun, and the starting price is three gold dollars.
The price is indeed staggering, and the market in Tianying City cannot afford this.
"This wine is delicious, I want it!"
There were shouts from the lobby downstairs. It seemed that Yang Liuqing was indeed the first to appear, so there was no need to worry about the crowd of supporters.
However, after the man shouted three gold yuan, Yang Liuqing was still playing the piano, as if he had not heard this sentence.
"Five gold dollars."
A bid came from another corner. Yang Liuqing on the stage smiled softly and proudly, and the host's voice sounded:
"Fine wine, picking flowers and smelling honey, five gold coins!"
When Han Dongwen heard this, he realized that the bidding mode was now in place.
"Six!"
It was the voice of the person who spoke first, and it seemed that he was determined to win.
After shouting out the price of these six gold dollars, there was an uproar in the venue and then fell into silence.
Six gold dollars, this is undoubtedly a lot of money.
For people who are more financially strapped, their annual expenses may not be as high as Yang Liuqing's asking price for a night of drinking.
"Ding--"
While Han Dongwen was sighing in his heart, he heard a melodious bell ringing from the private room next door.
"Yajian bid, please!"
The host's voice sounded immediately, and Han Dongwen was stunned when he heard the footsteps of a waiter coming from outside the door.
He turned slightly sideways and glanced across the screen, and saw that it was indeed the clerk, taking out a small and exquisite jewelry box from the private room next door.
The crowd was silent for a long time while Yang Liuqing played the piano. Finally, the host’s voice sounded again:
"The wine is fragrant, pick flowers and smell the honey, a pearl of ghost sea fritillary is worth eight gold coins!"
Eight gold dollars!
There was an uproar in the venue, and after a while to confirm that no one had increased the price, Yang Liuqing just finished playing.
She bowed slightly and saluted everyone in the hall. Then, surrounded by the maids in the building and everyone's eager eyes, she slowly walked up the spiral staircase and entered the private room next to Han Dongwen.
For the next night, the financial owner next door could spend the whole night enjoying himself in the company of Yang Liuqing, whom everyone envied.
"So that's what it looks like..."
Seeing that there were indeed some rare treasures in the Yihong Mansion, Han Dongwen whispered, and then he discovered that there was indeed a pair of exquisite bells left on both sides of the Taishi's chair.
Presumably when the guests in the private room wanted to sell some treasure, they would use this bell to bid and wait for the people from Yihong Mansion to come and evaluate it.
While he was thinking, he looked in the direction of Yang Facai, wanting to see if he also had such a small bell.
But there is no need to look.
The other bell was already held tightly in Yang Facai's hand, and his eyes were looking at the stage with great eagerness.
"The next pot of good wine is Jinsha Runiang!"
