At night, the lanterns are lit.
It's already very cold at night. Although it doesn't snow like the Imperial City, ordinary people still wear thick coats, and furs are not too much trouble if they can afford it.
However, in the flower house, the girls are still wearing cool clothes and standing at the door, shouting. It's not that they are not cold, but they are forced by life. No matter how cold it is, as long as they have money, they can grit their teeth and endure it.
Moreover, there are actually many stoves in the flower building, and there is also a fire pit in the hall on the first floor. As long as the windows are not opened, it will not be cold to walk around in short coats.
Going up, the third floor is heated entirely by the stove in the house. However, there are private rooms and pavilions upstairs. Most of the people who can serve people here are high-level singers. Basically, they have the magic of bewitching. They are half monks. Their physical fitness is naturally better than that of ordinary people. They can also wear thinner clothes. Withstand the cold.
Lianxiang's cultivation is no problem in dealing with this level of chill. She specially dressed to stand out today. She narrowed her body while showing off her most proud figure. A thin, close-fitting long skirt tightly wrapped her body. I just wore a white fur shawl outside.
"Miss, you really look like a fairy today! You will definitely charm that person named Shen to death!"
The maid is still the same maid, and she always talks to Lianxiang without any hindrance. When they are alone together, they are not like master and servant at all.
"Bah! A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory. It's beautiful as long as it's beautiful. What kind of fairy are you talking about? Go and take a look again. When will the door open?"
"Xiaoqin went to see it just now. There were people guarding the door over there, and they were not allowed to come near even when they were serving wine or food. It's very secret. It's probably going to take a while."
Lianxiang picked up the small brush on the dressing table and trimmed her eyebrows, then looked at it before she was satisfied, and said in a resentful voice: "What if Shen Baihu still doesn't take the bait today? Could it be that he doesn't like women like me?"
"I don't know. But if you still haven't hooked Shen today, you have to think of another way. By the way, when you invited him to your house for breakfast, you saw him without makeup. I noticed that his eyes were It's all straight. If it doesn't work this time, you can change your clothes next time."
"Yes! Why didn't I think of that before! You! Why didn't you remind me earlier!"
"Hehe, I just remembered it. It's okay. Miss, you are such a monster today. Shen will definitely not be able to stand it."
"Huh, I hope so. But Zhang Qian and Gan Lin have a really good relationship with Shen Baihu, but it's the first time I've seen them being so secretive? I don't know what they're talking about. Have you let Xiaoqin get close and try the magic plate?" Can you hear something?"
The maid shook her head and said, "Xiaoqin tried it just now, but now I want to try it downstairs? But I don't think it will work. It should be an isolation circle."
"Prudent enough."
"Miss? I just don't understand. Why is Shen just an official of a hundred households? His rank is the same as the deputy of a thousand households, from the fifth rank? Why does the sect master value him so much? And he asks you to seduce people. , you used to be in charge of big shots like Liao Chengfeng."
After the maid finished speaking, she pouted with disgust on her face.
"What nonsense are you talking about? We can discuss what the sect leader means? Are you going to die?" Lianxiang said with a face and pulled the arm of the maid next to her.
"Me? I just feel sorry for you, Miss."
"Huh? I don't know you yet? You are just greedy for the rewards given by Liao Chengfeng. Shen Baihu didn't reward you. Remember, you are not allowed to mention what you just said!
Also, who told you that Shen Baihu is not as good as Liao Chengfeng? "
The maid just blushed when Lianxiang's words revealed her little thoughts. Now she heard the second half of Lianxiang's words and asked curiously: "Isn't it true? The person named Shen is from the fifth rank? Lord Liao is from the fourth rank, with two ranks in between! How can it be compared?"
"You, you, have a stupid head. How old is Liao Chengfeng? Shen Baihu is not even thirty. Liao Chengfeng is still a person with a profound background, while Shen Baihu started out as a duckweed. There seems to be a gap between the two, but they are really different. It seems that Shen Baihu's potential far exceeds that of Liao Chengfeng. Moreover, Shen Baihu is still the most shining person in the Black Flag Camp in the imperial court. In the future, if the top management of Xuanqing Guard does not fluctuate? His position will only get higher and higher, and no one can stop him. Can't live.
So, you'd better be more aggressive when you see Shen Baihu from now on. If it affects my mission, see if I don't complain to the sect master! "
The maid grabbed Lianxiang's hand and begged for mercy, but she didn't know what she was thinking.
...
Only about ten feet away from the Nuang Pavilion where Lianxiang's master and servant were? The atmosphere in the other wing was quite different.
There are two Xuanqingwei monks guarding the door. There are two more at the stairs going up. The rest of the crowd can't get even half a step closer to this wing? They can only walk around.
Now in Fengri City? No one dares to mess with Black Flag Camp's sign even if it's annoying.
In the wing, Shen Hao sat at the top, while Zhang Qian and Gan Lin sat on the left and right. Apart from the three of them, there was no one else in the room. The food and wine on the table in front of them were fragrant, but no one moved their chopsticks. Even Shen Hao was sipping Wuliangye, which he usually felt he couldn't get enough of. Zhang and Gan looked dull and neither of them was in a drinking mood.
"What's going on, two eldest brothers? Even if you don't help, you won't stop drinking and eating, right?" Shen Hao broke the silence with a smile.
Just now, Shen Hao revealed some reasoning details about the Ma San case to these two people. However, these two people never expected that they would hear the secrets of the Black Flag Camp when they went out for a meal. They knew in their hearts that this meal might be... It didn't taste good, so I kept silent and didn't dare to speak casually.
"Humph, Brother Shen! We both regard you as brothers, but you were able to trick us both with your backhand. Isn't that kind?" Zhang Qian snorted coldly, with a very ugly look on his face.
No one is crazy enough to want to hear this bullshit Xuan Qingwei secret. And when it comes to senior military officials, it's definitely digging a hole for them both.
"It's really unkind. Brother Shen, why don't you just keep this wine in mind for now?" Gan Lin wanted to run away, but he didn't dare to stand up.
Shen Hao put down his wine glass and said in a relaxed tone: "You two eldest brothers have misunderstood. I have always been taken care of by your two eldest brothers. Isn't it good that I immediately thought of you two?"
"A good thing? Thank you for being able to say it!"
"Forget it, just tell me, what do you want to do?"
"The two eldest brothers are both old men in the army, and they are probably well-connected in the army. The case I just mentioned is an important case that Mr. Jiang personally supervised. If it can be won, it will definitely be a big credit, and this credit is unparalleled. It’s not just me, the two eldest brothers also benefit from it.”
"What do we use your Xuanqingwei's credit for?"
"You have money and merit, don't you want it?" Shen Hao wasn't worried at all that these two people wouldn't fall for it. If he really refused sternly, he should have just stood up and left. Originally, we were all in the same boat, couldn't we work together to reap the benefits?
"Are you sure?"
"I have 50%. It depends on how much more confidence the two elder brothers can give me."
