I Became the Heroine of Abusive Novel and Her Elder Brother - Chapter 93
June thirteenth is an auspicious day for all things.
There are indeed many good things in Jinling City today.
On this day, Jinyiwei from Chang’an also thoroughly inspected the rice and grain shops in Jinling, and suppressed the inflated price of grain. Now the traders can only charge 20% of the price before the disaster. Even if it is still not cheap, it is no longer common people. They can’t afford it anymore.
In addition, the gentleman who built the embankment in the north of the city also posted a notice to recruit private laborers from the south of the city to go to the north of the city to repair the embankment. Although the money is not rich in one day, it can be enough for the whole family to eat for two days.
For a time, Jinling City was full of vitality.
On this night, Chunshui Lane in the south of the city was lit up.
Jun Huailang followed Xue Yan out of the carriage and saw this magnificent scene.
The flower building was decorated with colorful lanterns, and the colorful lanterns filled half the street. Upstairs hung colorful silk sash, brightly lit.
The plaque is carved with three characters, Qingyuefang.
“These merchants should be asked to hand over some food, gold and silver.” Jun Huailang frowned, sizing up the luxurious and gorgeous decoration, and said. “In the face of disaster, why are you still enjoying yourself so much?”
Xue Yan laughed softly beside him.
“Okay, let them pay,” he said.
Jun Huailang withdrew his gaze and looked at him suspiciously: “What are we doing here?”
Since Xue Yan said that the grain money that Guo Rongwen had embezzled had gone, he refused to tell him anything. To this day, he specially went to the construction site in the north of the city to take him away. brought it here.
Xue Yan raised his hand and made a “shush” in front of his lips.
Jun Huailang stopped in doubt.
Seeing that Xue Yan raised his chin towards Jinbao, Jinbao hurriedly stepped forward and called the old maid at the door to greet guests.
“Master, you’re here!” The old bustard looked not young, but his charm was not diminished, and he smiled with affection.
Xue Yan glanced at her.
The old man covered his lips and smiled meaningfully: “Master, everything has been arranged for you, you just have to take care of it.”
Speaking, she opened the way and led the two upstairs and into a private room.
After leading the two of them to sit down by the window, the old bustard watched the tea in person and placed it beside the two of them.
“If you have nothing to do, just go down.” Jin Bao stepped forward and ordered.
The old lady hurriedly responded, leaving two maids to wait on her before she retreated.
The downstairs was bustling, and the huge hall was already full of people.
In this way, people are still entering the building one after another. Several tables have been added to the table, and they are so densely placed that it is a bit difficult to pass through the middle.
Jun Huailang retracted his gaze, looked at Xue Yan, and saw that Xue Yan was drinking tea slowly, his eyes squinting at him and smiling.
Jun Huailang vaguely understood what he meant.
“You mean…?” He cast an inquiring look at Xue Yan.
Seeing Xue Yan put down the teacup, nodded, looking at him with a smile full of determination, like a wolf staring at his prey.
“I’ll let you see in a while, where the money Guo Rongwen greed has gone to.”
—
The sky was dark, a drum sounded on the stage, and the four seats suddenly became quiet.
Jun Huailang looked out, and saw a long ribbon hanging from the top of the pavilion, followed by a woman in a moon-white gauze, holding a pipa in one hand, and another Holding the ribbon in his hand, he floated down.
The ribbon was entangled with the woman, and for a while, the clothes flew, the light gauze danced, and the petals rustled all over the sky, landing on the stage and in the room.
With a bang, the woman landed on the hub in the center of the stage.
She turned her back to everyone, her black hair was tied into a high bun, revealing the snow-white slender back of her neck. She has a particularly graceful figure, her waist is wrapped around Yosu, and it looks like her palm is not wide enough to hold.
Pipa strings rang, and the woman danced on the flower drum with her back to the crowd.
Everyone in the room was crazy, Jun Huailang also stopped the teacup and looked at the stage through the stained window.
This woman is really hard to see in the world, and this kind of piano skills must have been practiced since childhood. It took a lot of effort to come to the building to train her.
Could it be that Guo Rongwen, who was greedy for money from Mo, would use it in exchange for this woman?
However, he has been with Guo Rongwen for a year and a half, and knows that although this person hides the intention of harm, he is not the one who goes in and out of the brothel. Did Xue Yan use some method to attract him?
However, it is too ostentatious to replace people with money in such a big way, presumably he will not do so…
He looked at the woman in a trance, and his mind wandered to other places, thinking about it.
I didn’t notice that the person beside him who didn’t look at the stage from beginning to end, his eyes gradually became a little wrong.
Suddenly, the woman beat the drum and made a sound of four strings. She embraced the pipa, and when her waist moved, she slowly turned around.
Suddenly, the men in the audience stretched their necks.
Jun Huailang didn’t notice what was going on on stage at all, his eyes only fixed on there, still thinking about how Guo Rongwen would pay to take pictures of the woman on stage.
Suddenly, his eyes darkened.
Following, Jun Huailang heard an excited exclamation from downstairs. In the flower building, where the needles could be heard just now, it suddenly boiled.
Jun Huailang was stunned for a moment, only to realize that there was a hand tightly covering his eyes. He blinked for no apparent reason, and when his eyelashes brushed the palm of his hand, he heard Xue Yan’s voice a little hoarse, and fiercely warned: “Don’t move.”
Jun Huailang was stunned, and had to close his eyes.
“What are you doing covering my eyes?” He was dumbfounded.
Xue Yan, who covered his eyes, glanced at the stage with an ugly face.
At this moment, the people in the flower building are going crazy.
Today, it was the first time that the woman named Yujing appeared on stage. She held the pipa with one hand, took off the veil on her face with the other hand, raised her hand and threw it off the stage.
Suddenly, the stunningly beautiful face was exposed in front of everyone.
Everyone in the audience exclaimed, and the small group of guests who were close to one another rushed to grab the veil.
Xue Yan glanced at the gorgeous, stunning face, and turned his eyes back with a dark face.
But twisting her waist to dance, what’s the point, it’s worth Jun Huailang’s constant staring at the woman, even holding the tea in his hand for a long time and forgetting to drink it.
Xue Yan’s mouth was sour, and his brows were wrinkled.
Jun Huailang didn’t wait for Xue Yan’s response for a long time, raised his hand and patted the back of his hand, and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Before Xue Yan covered his eyes, it was all murder scenes. But at this time, listening to the movement under the stage… there should be no dead people, right?
Then, he heard Xue Yan’s fierce voice.
“There’s something to see.”
—
When Xue Yan finally took back the hand covering his face, there was no more woman dancing on the drum.
Only the bustard who had just received them, stood in front of the stage with a charming smile.
“Every guest officer, our Yujing girl danced and showed her face. Next, we’ll see if the guest officers will cheer for the girl.” She said with a smile.
Jun Huailang looked out the window and saw that everyone downstairs was gearing up.
Everyone has a small card with the name of the guest on the card, both sides, one red and one green.
The old bustard said that on the first night of the Yujing girl, the starting price is 500 taels, the green price will be increased by 100 taels, and the red price will be increased by 200 taels. Everyone bids, and the highest bidder in the end can go to Wushan with Miss Yujing tonight.
Jun Huailang was born in Chang’an since childhood and has always been strict in etiquette. Even after staying in Jiangnan for a year, he has never seen such an auction method.
But the wealthy businessmen and dignitaries in Jiangnan downstairs seem to be proficient in this law.
Suddenly, the bidding sounded everywhere, and it didn’t take long for the five hundred taels to be raised to three thousand taels.
When it reached 3,000 taels, the voice of the price gradually became thinner.
No matter how beautiful Yujing is, it is only a woman. A few thousand taels of silver to buy her for one night is not the money that ordinary people can afford.
Besides, Qingyuefang said that if you double the price, you can redeem Yujing. Three thousand taels doubled ten times, that is, thirty thousand taels. To buy a brothel girl at such a sky-high price, few ordinary wealthy businessmen have such financial resources.
Gradually, the voice of bidding stopped at three thousand five hundred taels.
At this moment, a familiar voice came.
“Three thousand seven hundred taels.” The man’s voice was full of satisfaction.
Jun Huailang was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly looked down the stage.
I saw Xu Cong’an sitting there holding a placard.
Xue Yan said that Xu Cong’an is the eldest young master of the Xu family in the capital and the only grandson of Xu Xiang.
So, what Xue Yan wants to fish today is not Guo Rongwen, but Xu Cong’an?
Jun Huailang suddenly understood. Guo Rongwen took such a desperate risk, and anxiously greedy for such a large amount of money in one breath, just to give Xu Young Master the money to buy this oiran.
In this case, the evidence of Guo Rongwen’s corruption and the whereabouts of the stolen money are all clear.
Jun Huailang looked at Xue Yan, and saw Xue Yan pursed his lips slightly at him.
His amber eyes were full of laughter, and two points of bragging, with a bit of tameness in his wildness, he looked like he was only wagging his tail at his master for compliments Great wolf dog.
Jun Huailang suddenly wanted to raise his hand to touch his head.
At this moment, the voice of the prostitute came from downstairs.
“Xu Gongzi offered five thousand taels! Five thousand taels, is there any guest official who wants to bid?”
Jun Huailang looked sideways and looked intently.
It turned out that the businessman who sold 3,500 taels just now competed with Xu Cong’an for a while, but he still lost. At this time, Xu Cong’an sat in the room with his chest out, looking like he was winning.
And the guests around me didn’t make a sound anymore. Everyone clasped their palms, only to say that today, the famous flower of Yujing girl will fall on Xu Gongzi’s head.
The bustard shouted a second time.
It was still silent.
The smile on Xu Cong’an’s face could not be hidden.
At this moment, Jun Huailang saw that Xue Yan put down the teacup.
The slender and powerful hand lazily held the small card on the table and lifted it smoothly.
“Six thousand taels.”
In the flower building where needles could be heard, Xue Yan’s low voice rang out.
Jun Huailang looked at him in surprise.
