Chapter 937

The oiran's beautiful eyes flashed with astonishment.

She didn't seem to have expected that Shen Tang was still a young man. In the past, among those businessmen who were on the road, who would come up and ask how much they could borrow to guarantee a guaranteed profit? Who wouldn't be cautious and smiling? After a while, the oiran returned to his usual charming and calm manner. .

"Nu Jun is joking. When doing business, there are profits and losses. How can there be a business in this world that is guaranteed to make profits without losing money? How much principal you borrow depends on how much principal Nu Jun needs to do business. According to the rules, as long as you borrow, no matter how much it is, you will be fine. Can get asylum.”

Shen Tang was not surrounded by her.

He smiled and said: "Indeed, you can get shelter no matter how much you borrow. Shelter is all shelter, but it can also be divided into caring and uncaring. This is like the maids and servants around the queen, who are also divided into first, second and third classes. The little girl thought What I know is, how much will I need to borrow first?”

There was no mincing words in her words.

The oiran held up the tea cup with her slender fingers and pretended to drink tea. She did not directly answer Shen Tang's question: "I heard that the female monarch decided to complete this business in order to save the family business from the elders of the clan. The business will be successful." That’s enough. In that case, why bother pursuing the first class? From Yinu’s point of view, third class or even lower class is enough. Since you can do business in Jinli County with just a little borrowing, you can rely on your protection.”

Facing the oiran's temptation, Shen Tang just shook his head: "If it was just for this purpose, there would be no need to nod here today."

The top court oiran’s drinks are not cheap either.

The oiran's rich makeup flashed with surprise for a moment.

He smiled and asked, "Is there another purpose?"

Shen Tang said frankly: "To be honest, I personally thought that Kunzhou was originally established for more than a year, and various places were waiting for development, and there were business opportunities everywhere. So I planned to eat the food from this place before other grain merchants could react. . As long as the business is done properly, there will be countless dividends in the future. My husband has been dead for less than two months. Even though he has thousands of net worth, he still has no way to climb up to the high school. Although the king allows merchants to enter the officialdom, how rugged is the road? For this, it is reasonable to pay some price.”

To put it more simply -

She just wants to use money as a stepping stone.

The more official debts you borrow, the more interest you pay to others, and the more disguised bribes you give to others, and the easier it is for you to be regarded as one of your own by high officials. In the land of Jinli County, there is such a big tree to protect her. Isn’t it smooth sailing in doing business?

The oiran covered the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, and her laughter was as clear as a silver bell: "The lady has a vivacious temperament and is quick to talk. In the past, there were so many male customers looking for connections, but none of them were as courageous as you."

He said, stroking his hands and praising: "I admire you so much."

"If this matter comes to pass, the benefits of the oiran's wife are also indispensable." Shen Tang is a person who can remain calm and composed when facing hundreds of officials fighting. How could he be deceived by the oiran's few words? She calmly waved her hand and asked the accountant standing next to her. He took out his money bag with a wink.

Chu Yao took out two heavy, golden pieces of gold.

Two pieces of gold are not big, but their purity is rare.

Shen Tang said: "This is the tea fee for the lady."

The oiran lady smiled and reached out her hand to put the gold into her sleeves. Her heavy makeup could not hide her good mood: "Okay, I will tell you everything you said, and it will definitely happen!"

Shen Tang sat for a while and then prepared to get off the flower boat.

The oiran lady covered the back of her hand with her palm and said softly: "My lady, don't worry, it will take a while before we reach the shore."

When the other party leaned over, the rich fragrance penetrated into Shen Tang's nostrils. Like a frightened rabbit, she suddenly retracted her hand and blushed slightly, but she still had the momentum from before: "Hua, Oiran lady... please respect yourself. I still have great filial piety."

The oiran woman rested her chin on her hands.

A pair of phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, her red lips parted slightly, and she whispered in her ear with a sweet and bewitching tone: "It's a pity that the lady became a widow before she knew what love is like in the world."

Shen Tang raised his eyes and looked at the oiran lady.

The oiran lady chuckled and said: "This is the most popular place in the world, and there are always some secrets that outsiders don't know. You don't need to be so nervous. It will make you seem scornful of me."

The corner of Shen Tang's mouth twitched slightly, he opened his eyes and told lies to make up for it.

"What I said is true. My late husband and I were married at the fingertips. Nine years ago, our two families were in love, and we were destined for life. It's a pity that on the day of the marriage ceremony, he was forcibly recruited. He went to fight in the war. The news has been intermittent over the years, so I thought he was still alive. Two months ago, when his clothes were searched and found, I learned that he had been killed in battle for many years, and even his remains were not found..."

As he spoke, his eyes shone with crystal clear water.

Chu Yao and his colleagues: "..."

Seeing her reaction, the court lady believed her a little bit, and blamed herself. Shen Tang softly pulled the veil and said: "No wonder the court lady, in fact, I have had a premonition in my heart for these years, but I have always refused to believe it. Say it out loud. , I feel much better.”

In this way, the court lady gave her some gentle words of comfort.

In order to make Shen Tang feel better, the oiran lady also took the initiative to tell some of her own tragic past, which was quite tragic.

The courtesan's wife was originally from a good family.

Her father was a violent gambler and her mother was cowardly and obedient. She and her twin sister were dependent on each other. In order to exchange for gambling money, her father came up with the idea of ​​selling a pair of daughters to Hua Chuan. They are rare twins with excellent foundation and look exactly the same. Buy them and train them well, and when they are brought up, they can be used as "Emperor's Queen" and "sisters serve together".

Hua Chuan is willing to pay a high price.

The man who was addicted to gambling agreed immediately.

However, the man revealed the secret while drunk.

The mother of the courtesan hid one of the children. When the appointed time came, the flower boat came to pick her up. When she saw that only the elder sister was left of the twins, the price was cut in half. The man was so angry that he beat the woman half to death, and two years later, he pawned her off. Go out and make money.

"Pawn them to make money?"

"Oiran." The oiran smiled charmingly. Some men could not afford the betrothal gift, so they rented wives. The price of renting a wife was only 20 to 30% of the betrothal gift. When the rented wife gave birth to a child, the wife would return home. Go to the original husband. The original husband sold his wife in exchange for profit, and then the husband rented his wife to continue the family line. "Everyone gets what he needs, and everyone is happy."

Shen Tang's face gradually darkened.

Asked: "A lot?"

Oiran lady: "I don't know."

Shen Tang's hands hidden in his sleeves closed and his knuckles tightened.

She asked: "Are you the twins' sister?"

The court lady smiled and said nothing.

While he was talking, the flower boat suddenly swayed greatly.

Shen Tang stood up and said, "We've reached the shore."

The oiran lady stood up suddenly and walked to the window. There were more than 20 people dressed as government soldiers on the bank of the river and lake. The leader pushed away the left and right and forced to board the ship: "Zhe Chongfu, check! All men, keep to the left. , all women, keep to the right, be aware of your appearance!”

Shen Tang came up and stretched his neck to watch the excitement: "Is this?"

The oiran's voice was cold, her hands that were digging at the window edge tightened unconsciously, and she gritted her teeth and said, "It's those poor soldiers again!"

Shen Tang covered his face with a veil.

After a while, the sound of footsteps and the clash of weapons and armor came from downstairs. Counting the footsteps, there should be person No. 6.

The private room was kicked open.

"Everyone, men on the left and women on the right!"

Shen Tang: "..."

The leader was a female soldier with an unfamiliar appearance.

When the other party saw the crowd of people in the room, his thick eyebrows stood up, and he pressed the handle of the knife: "I say it again, men on the left and women on the right."

Shen Tang and others could only do as they were told.

This is not the time to reveal your identity.

The leading female soldier took a few steps forward and stood looking at the courtesan. The latter stood weak and boneless, and sneered: "You poor soldiers, why don't you want to train and cultivate the land, and have trouble with flower boats all day long?" ?We have been here a few times, but have we found a pair of disheveled people? Or do we have to see a man and a woman having sex before we stop? I really can't do it, I..."

As the oiran lady spoke, she raised her hand and took off her clothes from her shoulders.

Before he finished speaking, Shen Tang heard a loud slap.

The female soldier slapped the oiran's face neatly. The latter didn't expect the other party to come and tilted her face to one side. After slapping the person, the female soldier said one word after another: "I am willing to be humble."

The oiran lady licked the corner of her lips and there was a faint blood.

He looked indifferent and said: "Those who are not mean are outside."

The female soldier ignored her words and waved her hand: "Take it away!"

The court lady scolded: "How dare you?"

The female soldier stuffed a cloth into her mouth and said, "Take it away!"

When he walked to the door and stopped, he thought of Shen Tang and others again, and added: "There are also these others, take them all away too!"

Shen Tang: "..."

Several ministers: "..."

For the first time in my life, I was put in jail for coming to the flower boat.

The prison environment in Zhechong Mansion is relatively clean.

Shen Tang sat on the straw mat and covered his face: "No, why did this group of people suddenly appear? What is Zhe Chong Mansion doing?"

The king and his ministers were caught while enjoying a flower boat ride together.

This thing will explode wherever you put it.

Turning his head, the accompanying living room master grabbed a small pen and held a slip in one hand and buried his head in recording something. Shen Tang's expression cracked. The living room master was in charge of recording the daily actions of the king and important national events, and provided them to the country. Mainly writing daily life notes...

In other words——

If the country of Shen Tang can be passed down stably for several generations, future generations will be able to see a record of the founding emperor and his ministers going on a flower boat together and being cracked down on pornography. This is a rhythm that will be nailed to the pillar of shame in unofficial history. Thinking of this, her My head hurts even more.

"Qi Julang, can you stop writing?"

Other officials were stiff and their expressions were cracked.

Damn it, they forgot about the living room!
