Busy with work, there seems to be no free time.
Zhang Qian and Gan Lin, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, came to meet for a drink again. They said that a new girl had entered Hong'en Courtyard and they were going to try something new. They asked Shen Hao if he would go and visit his mistress.
The so-called mistress is the green-waisted singer Lianxiang from Hongenyuan.
Shen Hao has been busy since Lianxiang's birthday. He was so busy that he didn't even bother with the Blue Moon Festival last month. He simply ate a blue moon cake at home to celebrate the festival.
I didn't want to go today, but Zhang Qian and Gan Lin insisted on waiting at the door of Qianhusuo. When they saw Shen Hao coming out, they pulled him into the carriage.
"Two eldest brothers, have you ever heard of forcing girls into prostitution but not of forcing people to go to flower houses? Is there something you can't say today?" Shen Hao didn't struggle. Zhang and Gan were already very familiar with him, so they took it easy. There must be a reason for such hard work.
"Of course it's possible. Have you heard of the name Ning Ziyi?"
"Ning Ziyi? She looks familiar... Wait, is she the singer who sang "The Flower Outside the Wall"?"
"Hahaha, yes, that's her. But she is not a singer. She redeemed herself long ago. Now she is a musician who specializes in piano and singing skills."
Shen Hao curled his lips and said with a smile: "It seems that the bowl of rice in Hualou is indeed delicious. He redeemed himself and didn't hide far away. Instead, he turned into a "family" and continued to hang out there. It's really... Lack of money? There’s no way to understand.”
Gan Lin, who was standing next to him, retorted: "Thank you for being such a talented person! What's wrong with Huanhualou when you speak so harshly? If these ladies don't hang out in Hualou, wouldn't it be boring for me to drink Huajiu?"
Shen Hao thought about it and felt that what Gan Lin said was right. Anyway, if one is willing to fight while the other is willing to suffer, it is indeed not reasonable or understandable. You don't understand how to care about other people's business. People spend money to have fun or make money. There are ways to do it, and you really don't need to worry about others.
Zhang Qian returned to the topic and said: "Ning Ziyi has traveled to various places all year round, learning the music of various places. It is said that he is unique in both piano art and singing art. He has high attainments. He visited Fengri City the day before yesterday and will perform in Fengri City tonight. , wouldn’t it be a pity not to go when you have such a rare opportunity?”
"But I'm not very interested in piano or singing skills! I'm not interested in Ning Ziyi either. If the two eldest brothers don't let me get off, I can finish today's homework after I go back to the bowl of noodles." Shen [520] Haocai didn't fall for the trick, he had to force out the reason why these two guys wanted him to go.
"Hey! Brother Shen, do you know that Ning Ziyi and your mistress have a connection. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for you not to support me?"
"What a fucking concubine." Shen Hao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The two guys were guarding him from left to right, as if they were worried that he would jump out of the car.
"It's true. Lianxiang's piano master is Fu Ji, and so is Ning Ziyi. They are from the same school."
Shen Hao didn't want to talk nonsense with this guy anymore and asked directly: "If the two eldest brothers don't tell the truth, I will leave. The two eldest brothers can't stop me."
It was indeed unstoppable. Zhang Qian and Gan Lin could only look at each other and smile bitterly: "I really can't hide it from you, kid."
"Say it."
"Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that the news of Ning Ziyi's coming to Hong'en Court spread. Hong'en Court raised the price from the ground up. A table in the lobby dared to ask for five thousand taels, and the price of the wing room increased several times. If Including drinks, the cost for one night is less than 20,000 to 30,000 yuan." Zhang Qian said with a somewhat unnatural look on his face.
Gan Lin continued: "We have lost a lot playing money in the guardhouse recently, and we don't dare to touch our family's money, so we can only rely on you."
Shen Hao was stunned. Good guy, straight up a good guy!
Did these two people regard him as a scapegoat or a banker?
Just as he was about to speak, Zhang Qian said again: "Brother, don't misunderstand me. Lao Gan and I are not going to fight with you. You don't know that your reputation is very famous now, especially in Fengri City." , plus your status as a great talent, Hongenyuan specially reserved a wing room for you, and only charged the usual price, without increasing the price. Is it a good deal? Hey, of course, Lao Gan and I still have the money, you Come forward and Lao Gan and I will take care of the money. How about it?"
Shen Hao understood everything after hearing this.
This is not much different from a fox pretending to be a tiger, right? If anything, it means that his "tiger" was forced to be coerced by these two old foxes.
I really wanted to jump out of the car, but after seeing the smiles on Zhang Qian and Gan Lin's faces I decided against it.
"Are you treating me to a treat?"
"Sure! Keep your word!"
At this point, Shen Hao nodded and agreed to board the pirate ship. Zhang and Gan laughed happily. They were very satisfied with Shen Hao's reaction, which showed that Shen Hao still regarded them as his own and had no pretensions at all and would not talk to them at all. This is their true intention behind their seemingly abrupt behavior today.
Shen Hao couldn't even guess the purpose.
The carriage continued to move forward, taking its time.
Gan Lin leaned on the carriage, crossed his legs, and joked: "It's a pity that you didn't go during the Blue Moon Festival, otherwise Lianxiang's oiran wouldn't have been snatched away. At that time, Lao Gan and I couldn't secure thirty thousand taels each. Live."
"Yes, if you go and write two poems at random, who else will be Lianxiang's opponent? By then Lianxiang will be on the third consecutive throne, and maybe the level will be raised one level."
"Can three consecutive oirans still improve their rank?" Shen Hao really didn't know. No wonder Hongenyuan sent him several invitations before, and Lianxiang also came, but he couldn't get away and declined them all. He wouldn't have gone today if Zhang Qian and Gan Lin hadn't forced him to come.
"No! Another singer who was cheaper at the end. But you didn't see that the figure of the singer who won the courtship is so hot! Especially the chest, tsk tsk, it's definitely not easy to control! And that butt... ....”
Shen Hao found it interesting to hear the dirty talk of the two old hooligans, and he would join in from time to time, which was equivalent to warming up for the wine he was waiting for later. Zhang and Gan had even made an appointment with Shen Hao to play at the new oiran's place next time, and said that they would show Shen Hao a lot of experience.
Shen Hao was disdainful: I have already reached the highest state of being uncoded in my heart. You still want to help me learn more? Two idiots!
"By the way, isn't it peaceful in the south recently?"
Gan Lin suddenly asked this question.
Shen Hao was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Brother Gan, do you know that your way of telling people things like this is outdated?"
"Is it outdated? Hey, brother, you are an expert in this field. Lao Zhang and I have no information. Can you please tell us? Don't worry, we will never let it out."
When the two asked about this, they must have gotten some information, but the rumor mill was not sure yet.
Shen Hao did not express his tone and nodded directly: "The barbarians in the south will rise within this year. Zuo Yuliang, the chief military officer in the south, has sent troops out of Zhuohuo Pass as an outpost. It is said that there have been several killings. I don't have any specific information. It’s convenient. Just wait and I believe there will be an announcement from your army.”
