When they arrived at Baifeng Tower, the crowd became even more noisy, and Wu Yuanshan led Yi Huaqi and two others towards the center of the building.
At this time, people were coming and going on the huge first floor of Baifeng Tower. Dozens of huge round tables were filled with men, old or young, dressed in luxurious clothes. They had different expressions, some were pretending to be elegant, and some were embracing. beauty.
As for those who are worse, they can only find a corner, stand and chat with people they know well, look at those sitting eagerly, and immediately divide the venue into three, six, and nine equal parts.
There are four golden wooden tables placed in the center of the first floor. The tables are not big and there are only a few chairs around them. However, these four wooden tables are located far away from the people around them and are located in the center of the venue. You can tell at a glance that this location is special.
Jiang Wenlai and Liu Hao were enjoying the service of the woman beside them, when they suddenly saw Wu Yuanshan and two people wearing Nanhu Academy clothes sitting down at the table next to them, their eyes moved.
They looked at each other.
Jiang Wenlai smiled and said, "Brother Liu, you must be open-mouthed. How can you say who is coming?"
"Huh, what can he do if he comes? Don't worry, I, Liu Hao, will take care of this face for you today." Liu Hao stared at Wu Yuanshan and gritted his teeth.
Liu Haosheng was born in a business traveler's home, so he was very familiar with the business world. He knew that no matter how big your business was, you would still be nothing in front of officials as big as sesame seeds. That's why Liu Hao was so attentive to Jiang Wenlai. Jiang Wenlai followed suit immediately.
Yi Huaqi, Wu Yuanshan and others sat down and looked at everything in the field.
I saw that Baifeng Tower was extremely luxuriously built, with huge red-painted pillars with tree roots reaching up to the dome. Outside the three-story attic were circles of golden-lacquered corridors. The stairs from the first floor to the second floor were about three feet wide, covered with A layer of red blanket reveals the smell of silver everywhere.
A temporary stage was set up above the stairs, where I thought it would be where Miss Yue Rong would perform today.
"Come on, come on, today I, Wu Yuanshan, shamelessly borrowed the wine from Baifenglou to treat you two to a few drinks." As soon as they sat down, Wu Yuanshan picked up the wine pot and poured a glass for Yi Huaqi and Wang Mu. .
"Hahaha, you're welcome." Wang Mu also smiled, picked up the wine glass, drank it all in one gulp, then wiped his mouth and sighed, "Good wine!"
Yi Huaqi took a sip, but it was not completely drained, and then he gently put it down.
"Don't blame me for asking Brother Wu for drinking too much!" Yi Huaqi apologized to Wu Yuanshan.
"No problem!" Wu Yuanshan waved his hand and said casually.
Wang Mu also looked at Liu Hao's table not far away, "The people over there should be people from Saigon Academy."
"Well!" Wu Yuanshan glanced at Liu Hao and the others lightly, then looked away, "The fat guy's name is Liu Hao, he's just a dandy. The man who's neither male nor female is named Jiang Wenlai, and he's the son of the county magistrate of this city. It’s somewhat literary.”
"Oh!" Wang Mu also nodded.
In fact, students from two academies come
There were quite a few people there, but most of them were standing in the corner. Wu Yuanshan didn't say hello to anyone else when he came in, and naturally he wouldn't bring a lot of people to sit with them.
About half an hour later, a deafening gong sound suddenly sounded, and the noise in the venue immediately stopped abruptly with the sound of the gong.
The next moment, a fat woman with a bloated figure and a pound of rouge on her face walked towards the makeshift stage.
She held the silk silk in her hand, with a smile on her face, "Dear guests, I am being polite here."
"Old Madam, you still have a fucking gift. I'm going to vomit when you come out. Get out of here and let Miss Yuerong come out."
At this time, someone shouted loudly, which immediately caused a burst of laughter in the venue.
The old madam was not angry, but looked at the man who spoke angrily, "Hey, Mr. Zhao, what are you worried about? This is just the beginning. How could Miss Yuerong come out so easily?"
"I've been waiting for so long, do I still have to wait? Is Miss Yuerong still a fairy? Can she fly after we meet her?" At this time, another person answered.
"Yes, you said, after waiting for so long, it's not less than this moment and a half, isn't it." The old madam said with a smile.
Juechun City is a prosperous but comfortable place. People living there finish their work during the day and relax at night, so various ways of eating, drinking and having fun have emerged.
Most of the people in Baifeng Pavilion had never seen Miss Yue Rong, but they learned from people who were lucky enough to meet her that Miss Yue Rong had a beautiful face and beautiful face, so they immediately raised the eyebrows of the men in Juechun City. Appetite, these people actually don't like the so-called Yue Rong that much, but they are very curious in their hearts. For this curiosity, a lot of wealthy people in Juanchun City in the venue are willing to spend a lot of money, just for Buy one and feel comfortable.
"Old lady, are you asking for any kind of bonus if you invite Miss Yuerong to come out?" someone else asked.
Upon hearing this cry, the old bustard immediately showed a satisfied smile on his face.
"Your Majesty, you are right. We at Bai Feng House have said before that Miss Yue Rong is a prostitute rather than a prostitute, unlike other girls in our Baifeng House. Therefore, for the sake of everyone, I managed to obtain Miss Yue Rong through hard talk. With his consent, we got an opportunity for everyone, that is, to find a young man below to go upstairs and open the door for him. After all, Miss Yuerong has finished her performance, but she wants to ask all the adults to write a poem. The winner can go to the room alone. We have a close relationship with Yue Rong. If you, sir, can catch Miss Yue Rong's eyes in advance, you might be able to win Miss Yue Rong's favor." The old bustard said in a seductive tone.
All the people present were of high status, and when they heard this, they understood the meaning of the woman's words. Only the poor students did not know what she meant.
"This old madam really knows how to make money." Wu Yuanshan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, shook his head and smiled.
"Oh? Brother Wu said that, does the old bustard have other meanings in his words?
"Wang Mu didn't know the depth and asked quickly.
Wu Yuanshan glanced at Yi Huaqi and Wang Muye, who looked confused, and then they explained, "Looking for a young master is nothing more than letting everyone present pay money to compete for the opportunity to open the door for Miss Yuerong."
"Ah...that's how it is!" Wang Mu also responded in surprise.
He and Yi Hua Qike had never been to a place like this. When they heard that people were making money in this way, they were all horrified and finally understood what the Xiaojin Cave meant.
"Will anyone be willing to pay? Is Miss Yuerong really that beautiful?" Yi Huaqi frowned and said still in disbelief.
"I was lucky enough to meet her once before. That girl Yuerong is indeed, as the legend says, a beauty that will captivate the country. I think there will be many people willing to pay for her after a while." Wu Yuanshan nodded in response.
Another table.
"Bah, this old madam is so shameless." Liu Hao heard the old madam's words, the fat on his fat face shook, and he said with a frown.
"Hahaha, it doesn't matter. You, the Wu family, are the richest people in our Juanchun City. We still have a small amount of money left. Opening the door for Miss Yuerong today will definitely fall on you." Jiang Wenlai picked up the tea cup and Min He took a sip and then smiled.
Liu Hao's eyes rolled rapidly, and then a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes, "Brother Wenlai, don't worry, I will get this spot for you today."
Jiang Wenlai pretended to be surprised when he heard this, "Brother Liu, what do you mean by this? Why did you give me the spot you paid for?"
"Hey." Liu Hao waved his hand and then said, "We are close friends. I got Xiao Taohong today. I don't want this spot."
"This...how can this be so embarrassing?" Jiang Wenlai still wanted to shirk.
"It doesn't matter." Liu Hao smiled and waved his hand.
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey." Jiang Wenlai agreed with a smile, then leaned back and waited in a swaggering manner.
The old madam was still gushing to heighten the atmosphere, with saliva flying from his mouth.
"Okay, in that case, I won't waste your time, sir. I'll start with one hundred taels of silver, and bid once for ten taels of silver. Let's start now." The old bustard shouted loudly.
Yi Huaqi heard this number and immediately took a breath of air.
Wang Mu also widened his eyes in disbelief.
On the other hand, Wu Yuanshan looked like the old god was there and he was not surprised.
"One hundred taels of silver, is this old madam crazy? Will anyone be willing to spend this unjust money?" Yi Huaqi said in shock.
Wu Yuanshan chuckled, "Just watch, there will be someone."
"One hundred and fifty taels!"
As soon as Wu Yuanshan finished speaking, someone from the crowd stood up and shouted.
"Two hundred taels!"
"Three hundred taels!"
"Four hundred taels!"
The bidding in the venue did not follow the old bustard's rules at all.
Then, it was just fifty taels a time, and then these people seemed to feel that it was not enough, and even raised the price by one hundred two hundred taels, as if the silver was not theirs at all.
"One thousand three hundred taels!"
At this time, the price in the market had reached more than one thousand taels. Looking at the soaring prices, Yi Huaqi was secretly frightened and felt dizzy.
As soon as this price came out, all the bidders stopped raising the price. One thousand three hundred taels is a lot. After all, it is just to open a door for a girl. Being able to spend so much money for fun has reached everyone's limit. .
"Hey, one thousand three hundred taels, this gentleman is so rich." The old madam smiled slowly, looked at a short and fat middle-aged man and said.
"Two thousand taels!"
As soon as the Madam finished speaking, a voice suddenly sounded like thunder, and everyone in the venue looked at the source of the voice.
But the person who said the price of two thousand taels was a fair and fat man sitting in the center, it was Liu Hao.
Liu Hao was immersed in everyone's gaze. He shook his fat head and glanced at the rest of the people in the venue with disdain.
"I, Liu Hao, have decided on this spot today. Who dares to compete with me?" Liu Hao said loudly, as if he was willing to give up on me.
Yi Huaqi also turned his attention to the opposite side.
"Two thousand taels of silver is just to open the door for the girl. This kid must be mentally ill." Wang Mu also curled his lips and said in a tone full of disdain and a little sourness.
Wu Yuanshan looked at Yi Huaqi with a smile, his eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
"Two thousand taels, Mr. Liu has given two thousand taels, and there are still people who are missing. No one has the quota today and it belongs to Mr. Liu." When the fat woman heard the two thousand taels, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she hurriedly shouted loudly.
Liu Hao was under the spotlight, and he felt particularly satisfied at this moment.
He looked at Jiang Wenlai beside him and said, "Brother Wenlai, I will give up my quota today to..."
"Three thousand taels...!"
Before Liu Hao finished speaking, a voice sounded faintly, spreading throughout the entire floor and reaching everyone's ears.
