Zhou Ming put down his tea cup, turned around, and said with a smile that was neither humble nor condescending: "I have never been to a place like this before. If it weren't for a few friends who forced me to come here, I might never have the chance to be here, let alone the girl. See."
Seeing Zhou Yiming's fake appearance, all the other candidates in the flower hall were furious.
This kid is so shameless. He can even say something like this when he is forced to live in Huamanlou. Why are he pretending to be arrogant? Why are you pretending to be decent? You kid came here just to covet the beauty of the oiran girl. If you were really that serious, even if someone put a knife to your neck, you wouldn't be able to come here.
Everyone was really offended by Zhou Ming's arrogant arrogance at this moment. Some of them had a bad temper and finally couldn't help but stand up and wanted to expose Zhou Ming's background.
"Little brother, you must be honest. We all know the purpose of coming here. Why bother to pretend to be here and deceive the oiran girl."
"There are rules in the entertainment industry. Brother, if you don't have the spending power and can't afford the money, just say so. In the worst case, we will all pool money to pay the bill for you. You really shouldn't smash the pot after eating and come here to have fun. What’s the point of having fun and belittling this place?”
The pig-headed and dog-faced man and the tall and thin man immediately became bolder when they saw that everyone was attacking Zhou Ming.
"The two of us have long seen that he is not a good person. Before the oiran girl came, he was blatantly bullying others."
Facing Zhou Yiming, the biggest threat, everyone in the flower hall shared the same hatred and wanted to drive him away as soon as possible.
The oiran girl watched the show happily, but she wanted to see what kind of means Zhou Ming could use to solve the crisis when faced with such a predicament.
If ordinary people were faced with such a situation, they would have been at a loss a long time ago, or even hide their faces and run away under the pressure of everyone.
But Zhou Yiming was not a mortal after all. He completely ignored everyone's censure and criticism. He picked up the tea cup and drank it leisurely without even looking at the trash.
Faced with such blatant contempt from Zhou Ming, a few masters among the crowd who were in the first or second level of martial arts couldn't hold back their anger and jumped over to try to repair Zhou Ming.
There was a crisp snap.
The teacup in Zhou Yiming's hand was crushed to pieces, but the hand holding the cup was intact, not even a wrinkle.
Those who wanted to deal with Zhou Ming just now immediately realized that Zhou Ming's martial arts cultivation was superior to theirs, and then they quickly retreated into the crowd, not daring to make another mistake.
Such a strong performance by Zhou Yiming not only made the oiran girl's eyes brighten, but also the maids and maids around her immediately developed an infinite fondness for Zhou Ming.
This young master is not only young and handsome, but also seems to have extremely high martial arts skills. I wonder if a girl from any family has this good fortune and will be able to pair up with him in the future.
Among the Oiran girl's previous patron candidates, there were also people with extremely high martial arts training, even stronger than Yi Ming, so it was impossible to win her heart with this.
"Sir, do you have nothing to say in response to your criticisms?" the oiran girl asked with a smile.
"A bunch of flies are buzzing around you. You're so annoyed. You still want to chat with them? Girl, aren't you kidding me?" Zhou Ming said with a playful smile.
Hearing this, the oiran girl couldn't help laughing, covered her mouth with her hands, and laughed secretly.
The maids and maids next to him also burst out laughing. If they hadn't taken the dignity of the other people in the flower hall into consideration, they would have laughed loudly.
Being compared to flies by Zhou Ming in front of the oiran girl, everyone was so angry that they were shaking, but they had no choice but to make trouble in front of the oiran girl, which was tantamount to making a fool of themselves, and even if they had the courage to fight with Zhou Ming, Not his opponent.
Why should you embarrass yourself in front of everyone when you know you are losing?
Although these high-ranking officials and children of wealthy families have been used to living a life of fine clothes and fine food, and their brains are a little atrophied, they still understand this truth.
They only hope that the oiran girl can always maintain her aloofness, and they must not choose a brat like Yi Ming as a benefactor.
"What if I want to hear it?" After laughing, the oiran girl bowed slightly and asked.
Zhou Yiming spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders: "Since the oiran girl is interested in knowing, of course I will tell you everything I know."
Seeing that Zhou Yiming and the oiran girl were talking back and forth and getting closer and closer, the hearts of everyone in the flower hall were in their throats. They hoped that something would happen quickly to ruin everything.
Outside the flower hall.
Deng Tong, Xia Dezhang and all the government officials were all waiting to see Zhou Ming's joke. Seeing that he didn't come out, everyone was a little worried, because this kid never played according to the routine, in case he was not selected. , if trouble occurs, the consequences will not be easy to deal with. After all, the power of the boss behind Huamanlou cannot be underestimated.
At this time, a little maid happened to be delivering tea to the flower hall. Deng Tong quickly stopped her and asked, "Girl, have you chosen your guest tonight?"
"It hasn't been selected yet. If the officials want to participate, please come back tomorrow night." After saying this, the little maid gave a simple gift and entered the flower hall.
"Inspector Deng, how long do we have to wait? All the money has been spent. The girls are waiting upstairs. Don't let the money go down the drain." said a young yamen servant.
Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang were also anxious, but they wanted to see Zhou Ming's joke more, make him look embarrassed in front of everyone, and kill his prestige so that they could behave in front of him in the future.
Deng Tong said: "Don't worry, everyone. It's rare for Zhou Captou to make a fool of himself. Don't miss it. Wait patiently. Even if tonight's money is wasted, Xia Captou and I will make up for today's debt in the future." "
Xia Dezhang was not happy when he heard this: "Inspector Deng, you are too uninterested. I don't have any good things. Why do you involve me in this matter of spending money?"
At this time, there happened to be some movement in the flower hall. Deng Tong made a gesture to silence everyone, asking everyone to be quiet: "Listen, there is suddenly a lot of movement inside. Is something wrong?"
Everyone put their ears to the door of the flower hall, but found nothing.
In the flower hall.
Zhou Yiming sat upright and slowly said to the oiran girl: "Every word I just said is true and not a lie.
As for those flies questioning me, it only proves that they themselves are so dirty and have nothing to do with what I said. "
The oiran girl's eyes widened and she asked, "Master, have you really never been to a place like this before?"
Zhou Yiming nodded: "I'm ashamed to say it, but it's true.
The discipline at home was strict before, and I was so focused on studying that I rarely had the chance to go out, so it was even less possible for me to come to a place like this.
Recently, I have been working as an errand again. I am so busy with official duties that I don’t even have enough time to eat after I get off work.
Moreover, I have a good wife at home. If my colleagues in the government hadn’t brought me here today, I might never have come to a place like this in my life. "
Everyone in the flower hall breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Yi Ming had a wife. They felt that the oiran girl would definitely look down on Yi Ming based on this alone.
When all the maids and maids found out that Yi Ming was married, they were all extremely disappointed.
After listening to Yi Ming's words, the oiran girl's eyes immediately dimmed a bit. This young master was so outstanding that it was reasonable for him to get married early.
Seeing how he values his wife so much and loves himself so much, without showing any sign of nostalgia for the land of fireworks, it seems that I have no destiny with him.
Judging from his clothes, he should be a head catcher. I wonder if he knows the great hero Yi Ming who is now well known in Huijing Street?
There were many people in the flower hall, and it was inconvenient to talk. The oiran couldn't ask directly, so she called a maid next to her, whispered in the maid's ear for a while, and finally nodded and motioned with her eyes to the maid to pass the message.
The little maid had a good impression of Zhou Ming in her heart, so she walked over to him, blushing with embarrassment, and whispered in Zhou Ming's ear, "Master, my oiran wife has something to ask you."
Zhou Yiming glanced at the little maid with a smile and nodded for her to continue.
Everyone in the flower hall was stunned. What is going on? The oiran girl who usually didn't bother to say a word to them actually asked the little maid to whisper between her and Zhou Yiming in front of the big guys today.
In addition to being angry and jealous, everyone wanted to know what kind of whisper the little maid was passing on. Could it be telling Yi Ming that he had been chosen by the oiran girl?
Everyone was anxious and anxious, but they didn't dare to do anything. After all, the oiran girl was here. If she lost her temper a little, the oiran girl would get angry, and they would never have the chance to see her again.
The little maid continued to whisper in Zhou Ming's ear: "My girl asked the young master, do you agree with Zhou Ming's head arrest, which is now known to the world?"
After hearing this, Zhou Yiming smiled and lowered his voice and said to the little guy: "Go back and tell your wife and let her guess."
The little maid's eyes were stunned. She had met so many guests with the oiran girl. This was the first time that the little maid saw such a bold person who dared to play tricks in front of the oiran girl.
The little maid walked back obediently and told the oiran girl what Zhou Ming had said.
The oiran girl was slightly startled and looked at Zhou Ming with complicated eyes, as if asking him, are you the one?
Zhou Yiming cupped his fists and raised his hands. Just as he was about to speak, the oiran girl suddenly interrupted him: "Master, it's very inconvenient here. If you have any concerns, you don't have to answer the question I just asked."
Ordinary men, when they see an oiran girl being so considerate, will definitely be moved to tears and even lose their soul.
But Zhou Yiming just smiled slightly and said solemnly: "Yes, that's right."
Everyone nearby saw the conversation between the two people, and it was like listening to a book from heaven. They knew every word, but they just couldn't understand what it meant.
The oiran girl was stunned for a moment, then quietly whispered a few words to the maid beside her, stood up and left the flower hall.
"Girl, why are you leaving now? You haven't told me yet, do I have a chance?"
"What's this? It usually makes us despair. Why did you leave without saying a word today?"
There were two unwilling candidates for favor and even chased them directly. Fortunately, the maid next to them reacted quickly and stopped them.
