As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.
300 taels of silver is equivalent to 300,000 yuan. Previously, the young master of the Wu family shocked everyone when he offered 150 taels of silver. Unexpectedly, this master actually doubled the price!
Everyone couldn't help but turn their attention to Zhou Tai to see which young master was willing to be so generous to Miss Xing'er, but the result was a huge disappointment. Looking at this unfamiliar face, some people were curious, and some even had suspicion in their eyes.
"Which family does this brother belong to?" Some scholars asked each other in whispers.
It's no wonder that they feel strange. Many scholars come here just to be arty, hoping to win the hearts of beauties with their talents and knowledge, but the only ones who really have the financial resources to use money to win the hearts of beauties are those from aristocratic families.
The circle is so small, everyone knows each other, and occasionally an unknown person pops up, which naturally attracts attention.
Zhou Tai knew what those strange eyes were thinking, it was just suspicion that he was just talking nonsense. But he is definitely a rich man.
Although Sun Ce may seem bold and rash to outsiders, he is actually extremely rigorous in running the army. Employers are based on merit, and some positions do not have enough skills. No matter how high the merit is, Sun Ce will not be able to use it. But this does not mean that Sun Ce will treat his subordinates badly. On the contrary, Sun Ce's rewards for meritorious soldiers are so generous that it is jaw-dropping. He would rather be short of money than suffer any injustice to the meritorious soldiers. This is one of the reasons why the soldiers are loyal and follow him to the death.
Just three hundred taels of silver.
Zhou Tai really doesn't lack this little money. He is a small aristocratic family.
In contrast, although those sons from aristocratic families came from wealthy families, they were only members of a large family. The spare money they have on hand is an astronomical amount in the eyes of ordinary people, but when compared with Zhou Tai, it is a bit overestimating their capabilities.
The young master of the Wu family thought he was sure of victory, but he didn't want to show up as a ruthless character halfway through. Jealousy turned his delicate face into the color of pig's liver. On the other hand, the madam from Zuimenglou was giggling non-stop.
Although Zhou Tai was wearing Confucian uniform, his long military service had turned his skin into a wheat color, which made him look very different from ordinary Confucian students. The tall and solid figure also makes people feel very reliable. If his secrets are not revealed, Zhou Tai will undoubtedly leave a strong and strong impression on everyone.
"Brothers, I accept it. It seems that I have the honor to have dinner with Miss Xing'er."
Zhou Tai smiled and pretended to be polite and thanked everyone, who also bowed their hands slightly in salute.
However, not everyone is willing to give Zhou Tai this face.
"Miss Xing'er doesn't have time for you, a fool like you."
Zhou Tai's face turned dark when he saw a man in gray clothes just walking up the stairs.
There was excitement again, and everyone couldn't help but become interested. You must know that eating is just an excuse. What everyone buys is the opportunity to see Miss Xing'er's true face. You can't eat wearing a veil, right? Normally, this opportunity would only cost a hundred taels of silver, but today it has been sold at a sky-high price. But I didn’t expect that one mountain is higher than the other, and there are still people comparing the price!
The old bustard smiled brightly and stepped forward and asked, "How much does this guest offer?"
Unexpectedly, the man in gray coughed slightly and ignored the madam. Instead, he said to Miss Xing'er who was sitting behind the screen: "Miss Xing'er, my General Pan Zhang has invited the girl to come to his house for a glass of wine."
The madam froze, everyone was also stunned, and the scene suddenly became silent.
"So you want to eat for free!" A scholar couldn't help but sneer.
The words were rude but not rude, and everyone's faces turned dark.
Everyone is speechless as to who is more talented and has superior skills to win the heart of Miss Xing'er. Whoever has a lot of money and is willing to spend money to make Miss Xing'er happy, everyone has nothing to say. But if you come like this, you are breaking the rules, and everyone can't help but look at you angrily.
The man in gray clothes flinched when everyone stared at him so aggressively, and then said in anger.
"Master, please pay attention to the tone of your words. My general is the commander of the Wuhu navy. Master, please don't make a mistake."
This clearly shows that power is used to suppress people!
Everyone paused for a moment, hesitating. In fact, today's Chu family is not only not declining, but is even larger and more prosperous than before. Just a piece of "Qi Min Law" disarmed the armed forces of the aristocratic family. Compared with those with military power, they inevitably lacked confidence.
The madam frowned helplessly, a little embarrassed.
"In that case, I will go see General Pan Zhang."
The beautiful woman stepped out from behind the screen, tugging at everyone's heartstrings.
Everyone was immediately anxious. When they thought that Miss Xing'er might be treated lightly in front of such a rude person, everyone's courage immediately became high.
"Miss Xing'er, no!"
"Now Ji Shu, Zhang Hong, and Zhang Zhao are in charge of the internal affairs of Chu. They are honest and upright. I can't do it. These three adults will condone such evil practices! Miss Xing'er, don't follow him. We are all here. Look at him Pan Zhang How dare you?"
"That's right! Let's make a big deal out of it and let Mr. Ji know about it. Your Majesty will never condone such atrocities!"
Alas, the wind has changed. The two factions who were still arguing about whether Ji Shu was evil started to tear up Ji Shu's skin.
What a great reader! Zhou Tai was dumbfounded.
Pan Zhang's men were even more frightened and kept their orders.
"Young masters, don't worry. General Pan probably won't dare to do anything to Xing'er?"
It seems that Miss Xing'er doesn't want to make things worse. Many scholars are still trying to persuade her, but some of them have already understood.
Every brothel has its own backstage. A cash cow like Miss Xing'er, if you don't want to, who can take advantage of her? That person named Pan Zhang, I'm afraid someone will remind him soon.
"Then Xing'er, let's go and see how powerful General Pan Zhang is."
Girl Xing'er swayed lightly, walked up to Pan Zhang's men, smiled coldly, and motioned for him to lead the way.
It's ridiculous that the man in gray didn't understand the pros and cons at all, and thought that the brothel girl had given in. He said with a lewd smile: "Girl, please follow me."
Seeing that Miss Xing'er was so confident, all the scholars had come to their senses at this time, but it was still unpleasant to see the beauty being forcibly taken away from them.
Only Young Master Zhao was smiling happily. He believed that Pan Zhang could not do anything to Miss Xing'er, and the unknown person who opposed him also did not get the chance to have dinner with Miss Xing'er. He looked at her mockingly. Zhou Tai.
I saw Zhou Tai striding towards Miss Xing'er, hugging her into his arms, and kicked the man in gray away with his foot.
"Am I allowed to leave?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then suddenly felt relieved and couldn't help but cheer.
As for the man in gray, he flew out and hit the wall before stopping. He grinned in pain, pointed at Zhou Tai and cursed angrily.
"Who are you? If you dare to go against my general, you will risk your life!"
"Oh, I am not a big official, but I am not timid. A small commander dares to make trouble everywhere, but I want to see what he can do to me? Go back and tell Pan Zhang that I, Zhou Tai, am waiting for him!"
The state of Chu currently has two generals and ten generals. No one in Chu State does not know these names, and no one dares to impersonate them, because they are the sharp swords of Chu State that are proud of the world.
Everyone was stunned again because of the unexpected situation.
What do the generals under King Chu want? Who would have thought that he would come here to visit a brothel?
Such a reaction made Zhou Tai feel a little fussy. If they knew that Sun Cecheng often visited brothels before getting married, wouldn't they be so shocked that their jaws dropped?
"General Zhou, spare your life! Spare your life! This villain is also following orders. He really doesn't know that the general is here!"
Hearing Zhou Tai's name, the man in gray was so frightened that his face turned pale. He hurriedly crawled over and knelt in front of Zhou Tai to beg for mercy, his voice earnest and sobbing.
Zhou Tai looked disgusted, and naturally he didn't bother to care about this kind of thing.
"Humph, get out of here. Don't let me see you again!"
As if the man in gray was amnesty, he ran away in a mess.
Turning their heads, everyone had not come back to their senses. The girl in her arms was staring at Zhou Tai with her beautiful eyes, showing surprise.
Zhou Tai's heart moved, and he stretched out his hand to pull open Xing'er's veil.
Zhou Tai froze.
Xing'er woke up with a cry and stomped her feet hard, which made Zhou Tai let go of her in pain, and he took the veil back and put it on.
"General, respect yourself!"
Myolie glared at Zhou Tai coldly, then turned around and walked into the room.
The beautiful woman has gone, but the lingering warmth is still there.
Zhou Tai came back to his senses and said.
"Hey! Miss Xing'er, I am very rich."
"You're here to seduce me! I'm very easily seduced by women!"
Myolie stumbled and almost fell. She turned around and stamped her feet angrily.
"Vulgar fellow!"
Everyone also forgot Zhou Tai's identity for a moment and glared at him.
As for the opportunity to have dinner together, Miss Xinger turned it down in the end.
Yes, even if she was willing to pay more than everyone else, she still needed Miss Xing'er's consent to have dinner with the beauty.
After all, an opportunity is just an opportunity. This is the brothel, a place where these literati and poets scratch their hearts and never tire of it.
