Chapter 31 Spending a lot of money
After walking through a tunnel about two people wide, an upward staircase appeared. There were candles all around. Gui's mother reached out and opened the mechanism and went up.
After going up, there is a courtyard. It is not very big, and even the lights are not lit. However, if Li Baojia were here, he would definitely find that this is a rather remote courtyard in the East Palace, called Tingzhi Courtyard. It is said that people have died in the past.
So no one wants to come.
She fell in love with the big swing here for a while and often played here. Later, she fell on the swing and broke her hands. Zhao Yi never allowed her to play again.
In this Yixian Residence, there is a secret passage leading directly to the East Palace!
It is estimated that only the prince knows what kind of sects there are.
This courtyard was not as deserted as Li Baojia remembered. There were two people dressed as personal guards guarding the courtyard. When someone came up, one of them went to inform them.
After a while, Huang Gao came over with a fly whisk: "What's the matter? But there is news from Jiangnan?"
Gui's mother saluted and said: "I am incompetent. Since Suzhou Tanyue died, there has been no news. I came here today for another matter."
Then she told in a few words what happened in Yixianju today, and Huang Gao frowned so hard that he could kill a fly.
Qin family?
What kind of ant family dares to plot against the person who is most important to His Highness?
He thought for a while and said, "Just come with me. The stakes are very important at this time and your Highness needs to make a decision in person."
Gui's mother was a little surprised.
This... I still need to see His Highness to decide this matter?
In the past, if she saw His Highness in person, something big would happen that would endanger the government and the public. Today...
However, Huang Gao is the first person around His Highness. Since he said this, he must have his own reasons.
Gui's mother in her heart added another level to the Miss Li whom she had never met.
It seems that everyone in the capital is wrong... This person will have a lot of potential in the future.
I couldn't help but secretly rejoice. Fortunately, I had an extra thought today, and after much hesitation I still came.
Inside Chengde Hall.
Zhao Yi was sitting at his desk looking at the city defense map when he heard two light knocks on the door: "Your Highness, Mother Gui is here."
Zhao Yi casually circled a hillside: "Come in."
The two came in, Eunuch Huang stood aside, and Mother Gui knelt down and saluted, saying: "Your Highness, I have something to report."
After she finished speaking, Zhao Yi's expression did not change at all, and he even chuckled twice.
But Gui's mother's stiff back did not relax because of this, but instead bounced tighter. Although she didn't have much contact with His Highness, she also knew it.
Whenever he smiles like that, someone is in trouble.
Sure enough, his next sentence was: "The Qin family in Liancheng? Since they are merchants, they must have some money."
Gui's mother and Huang Gao looked at each other, then she bowed respectfully and left.
Huang Gao next to him said: "Your Highness, is it possible to put Qin Yongzhan back like this?"
Zhao Yi slowly picked up the pen and circled a place, which was an abandoned reservoir near the moat of the capital. He smiled slightly: "The Lantern Festival is approaching, and it is not convenient to kill at this time."
Huang Gao understood.
This may not be the case after the Lantern Festival.
It was unlucky for him to bump into His Highness, who made him so obsessed with plotting against the person His Highness liked.
The Qin family was originally a cancer in Liancheng, so it could be considered that they had done a good thing for the people of Liancheng.
——
The auction of Yixianju here has reached a feverish stage. The lady that Qin Yongzhan likes is very clever. He came up and said: "Mother Zhu is a commoner. There is no need to recite poems. The one with the highest price will come."
She had just danced, and she was dripping with sweat. Her dress was hot and sexy, which is rarely seen among dancers. The hem of the skirt was slit. At this time, she lifted her leg slightly, and a whole pair of shiny white legs were exposed, passionately.
And bold.
Qin Yongzhan mingled with a lot of young men and bid wildly. Zhu Niang seemed to have a good impression of him and often winked at him, making the young men around him jealous. Qin Yongzhan was very proud of it.
The place was restored today, and he couldn't lose face in front of a beauty, so even though the price had reached a very scary figure, Qin Yongzhan gritted his teeth and continued bidding.
The bidding at this time had already exceeded the normal bidding price of Yixianju, and many young masters hesitated and stopped.
Qin Yongzhan looked even more proud: they looked down on him because they didn't look at him, they didn't see that the lady had a soft spot for him, they were a bunch of poor ghosts.
Among the young masters, only one with an unattractive appearance continued to bid with Qin Yongzhan, and the price gradually became higher, making everyone around him gasp.
The man seemed to be in need of a beating. He looked at Qin Yongzhan with squinting eyes and disdain, as if he wanted to fight him to the end.
Qin Yongzhan became angry, and the two were in a stalemate. The last time he bid, the other person directly offered a high price of one thousand taels.
This made the group of young men behind shocked and dumbfounded.
Qin Yongzhan also hesitated, one... one thousand taels, which in Liancheng can be used to rent out the best brothel there for a month.
If he buys it, most of the money he has on him will be gone...
Zhu Niang's voice sounded as soft as a bone: "Sir, do you still want to increase the price?"
Qin Yongzhan looked at her and half of his soul was taken away, and the laughter around him seemed to be coming back again.
He held his breath: "One thousand and one tael!"
After shouting so arrogantly, the people around him cheered and laughed continuously. No one noticed that the young man who had just bid had quietly disappeared into the crowd.
At this time, Qin Yongzhan couldn't help but laugh. Just now...he spent a thousand taels on impulse!
Such a huge amount of money made him feel heartbroken. Seeing that Zhu Niang had completely lost the temptation just now, he felt very angry.
It's all this girl's fault that he spent so much money.
In this case, you can't lose money, and you will have to give her a hard time later.
He has always had a violent temper, and several of his concubines in the house had miscarriages due to his torture.
But Zhu Niang seemed not to see his eyes and led him away with a smile.
The excitement of the group of young masters below was completely aroused today. If the Liancheng Qin family was a small family that no one knew about before, now it is famous.
Because their family has a rich man with a daughter in a brothel, and he spends a thousand taels at a time, and the package is a new lady in Yixianju.
This is the price of the oiran.
As a result, Zhu Niang's status has become more and more popular in the capital. Who wouldn't want to see this beauty who spends a thousand taels to spend a good night with her?
Zhu Niang led him into the inner room, and Qin Yongzhan restlessly put his hands around her slender waist, wandering around her waist rather obscenely.
At this time, another lady came over: "Mother Zhu, you are so lucky. Your old sweetheart, Mr. He, is playing over there and has won more than ten thousand taels of silver. You will enjoy the blessings later."
Zhu Niang said: "Then you will congratulate him when you see him later."
Qin Yongzhan's eyes lit up: "How can you win so much money by playing?"
He just spent a lot of money, so he naturally tried every means to earn it back.
What can be worth ten thousand taels if you win it?
Zhu Niang covered her mouth and smiled: "It's nothing, it's just a place where we play games for the young masters to have fun. Are you interested?"
Qin Yongzhan nodded repeatedly.
Zhu Niang then led him and said: "Why don't I take the young master to take a look." She liked the prince's love in the palm and found another good match. Please collect: (https://www.wuxiayue.com) The prince's sweetheart in the palm of her hand found another good match.
