Chapter 122 The one with the highest price wins, let him return with satisfaction, His Majesty bids
Liu Yan'er performed on stage.
Mother Xu took the "guest" directly to the best stand on the second floor.
They only know that Prince Rui is here, but they don't know that His Majesty has also come to Yihong Courtyard.
If she knew that the person next to Prince Rui was His Majesty, Madam Xu's legs would probably be scared weak.
"My lords, this is the best tea, please take it slowly, I have something to tell you."
"You don't need to arrange for people to disturb you. Go and ask people from Yihongyuan to show up on the stage." Xie Rui ordered directly.
Xie Rui is naturally aware of the emperor's temper, it is impossible to force it, and it will even make the emperor hate it.
Call all the girls here, and ask Brother Huang to see if there is any one who is close to your eyes.
Mother Xu's face burst into smiles, "Okay, after Yan'er and Narcissus have finished their performance, let the girls come on stage."
"Narcissus?"
Xie Rui is a frequent visitor to Yihong Courtyard, why didn't he know that there was such a character as Narcissus?
Mother Xu explained with a smile, "Narcissus is the one who just sent her here, and her name has Xian, but Yihongyuan, this name is too proper."
Xu has seen Jiang Xian's appearance, so the word Narcissus is not worthy of Jiang Xian at all.
Xie Rui made no secret of his dislike, "My real name sounds nice, so change it back and change it back."
Also narcissus, why not called lotus?
It's ugly...
Xu's mother was stunned for a moment, and then readily agreed, "Okay, I'll arrange for someone to make a brand again."
It's just a name, you can call it anything.
Anyway, it's a cash cow.
Xie Rui almost blurted out to call Brother Huang, but fortunately, he changed the subject in time, "Huang...cough cough, what do you think Jiu Ye wants?"
Xie Jiuyuan has always been wearing a veil, with a thin veil in front of him, so outsiders can't see his real appearance.
Hearing this, Xie Jiuyuan's voice was slightly lowered, "It's up to you."
Xie Rui breathed a sigh of relief, and then ordered: "Go down, don't bother me if you have nothing to do."
"Yes, my lord."
After Mrs. Xu led the people away, all the tea on the table was taken away by Zhang Desheng's orders, and replaced with those brought from the palace.
In case of any accident.
Liu Yan'er has already started to sing a little song, the tune is mellow, with heavy makeup, showing her charm.
This good voice can make many people sing in a hurry.
Jiang Xian is backstage at the moment, and from his perspective, he can just see the so-called two distinguished guests on the second floor directly opposite.
On the left is Prince Rui.
The one on the right is still wearing a veiled hat, presumably he is His Majesty today.
With a slender figure and a unique temperament, one can tell at a glance that his identity must be unusual.
A meaningful smile flashed across Jiang Xian's eyes.
After Liu Yan'er sang a song, many people below were scrambling for Miss Yan'er, holding silver taels in their hands, like idiots.
Prince Rui is upstairs, how dare Madam Xu let Prince Rui's people serve others.
"Guest officers, please be safe and don't be impatient. Yan'er has arrangements for today. A newcomer came to Yihong Court two days ago. Why don't you make a decision after watching it?"
"This person's appearance is even inferior to Yan'er."
"Guest officer, wait a moment—"
Xu's mother calmed down these people by talking and talking, and quickly went up with Yan'er.
Xie Rui upstairs laughed when he heard Mama Xu's words, "It's not three points inferior, there is no comparison at all."
"If this Jiang Xian is a woman, tsk, then she really can afford the words "overwhelm the country and overwhelm the city."
Xie Jiuyuan on the side looked indifferent, and tapped the table a few times with his fingertips, seemingly not paying attention at all.
Not far away, Liu Yan'er wanted to come to serve her, but she was blocked outside and not allowed to go in.
"Prince Rui came back and was served by Yan'er, why not allow it today?"
"The lord has a distinguished guest today, please trouble Miss Yan'er to wait downstairs, the lord will summon you if something happens."
"Okay, then please help Yan'er to deliver this to the prince, Yan'er embroidered it by herself."
Even if Liu Yan'er was unwilling, she could only agree temporarily.
Your Majesty's distinguished guest?Who is that?
The guard took the things, checked them carefully, and then handed the purse to Prince Rui.
Xie Rui glanced at it with great interest, and it was a pair of mandarin ducks embroidered on it.
Hands are quite skillful.
The purse was also stained with some faint fragrance, so Xie Rui hadn't seen Liu Yan'er for a while.
"Brother Huang, I'm going down first, and I'll be back later." Xie Rui approached Xie Jiuyuan and said in a low voice.
There was no emotion in Xie Jiuyuan's eyes, he just nodded slightly and agreed to the matter.
"Thank you, Brother Huang." Xie Rui held the purse in his hand, and couldn't wait to go downstairs to look for Liu Yan'er.
"Prince Rui—" Liu Yan'er called out delicately.
"Miss this king? Huh?"
"Yan'er thought the prince had forgotten about Yan'er."
Liu Yan'er leaned against Xie Rui as if her whole body softened, her voice should be as delicate as possible.
Just when Xie Rui was about to take him into his arms to be tender, he was attracted by the movement on the stage for a moment.
Several layers of curtains fell around the stage, hiding all the scenes inside.
Looming, half covered, half exposed, the most fascinating.
A man in red can be vaguely seen inside.
Xie Rui's eyes were straightened.
This looks really...
Through the thin layer of curtains, all the guests can vaguely see Jiang Xian's profile.
With fair skin, he just leaned halfway on the recliner, his movements were very lazy, and his gestures were all provocative.
Many men and women came to Yihong Courtyard today.
After these women saw Jiang Xian's appearance, they also imitated throwing money to Jiang Xian when Liu Yan'er came on stage.
"Hey you little girl, what are you throwing away!"
"What? Let you see Miss Yan'er? I'm going to throw it away!"
There are more and more silver taels on the stage. According to the usual practice, when the silver taels reach a certain amount, they can "lift the veil" to reveal their true colors.
Xu's mother couldn't close her mouth when she was laughing underneath.
Male oiran and female oiran.
From now on, Yihong Academy will earn double the amount of money!
Jiang Xian raised his eyes slightly, and looked at a small bronze mirror directly opposite.
It just reflects the situation on the second floor.
Prince Rui is gone, only His Majesty and other attendants are upstairs at the moment.
He still maintains the same posture. Although he can't see the real appearance, he can feel that it must be not bad.
Jiang Xian glanced at Xu's mother who was on the side, "It can be opened."
Even Xu's mother couldn't help being stunned for a moment when she and Jiang Xian looked at each other.
This cash cow that fell out of thin air really has some tricks.
With this look, I don't believe that the girls present today will not be moved.
The curtain is drawn.
Jiang Xian got off the reclining chair and just stood on the stage. Before he could speak, there was a commotion underneath.
Some even questioned their own eyes.
This... is this really a man?
The tone is full of pity.
Jiang Xian deliberately found an angle, so that the person upstairs could clearly see and hear him speak.
Jiang Xian's lips parted slightly, and he spoke slowly, "It's the first time we meet today, so I only pick up one person, and the one with the highest price will get it."
There was a slight smile in his eyes from beginning to end.
The eye waves are flowing, and the tails of the eyes are slightly raised, which is extremely seductive.
Jiang Xian just stood on the stage without doing anything, and attracted the attention of everyone in Yihong Academy.
"Miss Yan'er can sing a little song and play the piano, what can you do? Could it be that you also sing a little song for us?"
Others have not finished their questioning, and someone has already bid.
"I'll pay 50 taels of silver!"
50 taels is not a small amount.
Everyone looked back.
It was Miss Lu's who spoke, and many shops in the city are owned by Lu's.
Today, I came here just to watch the fun, but I didn't expect to meet a male oiran, and he looks so good.
Ms. Lu also spoke very generously, "It doesn't matter if it's singing a ditty or anything else."
Jiang Xian lowered his eyes and smiled slightly, "Sing a little song? It's too boring."
As soon as Jiang Xian opened his mouth, the voices of discussion stopped suddenly, and his eyes all fell on Jiang Xian.
It was as if there was a kind of...a strange magic that seduced the soul, making people pay attention to him uncontrollably, and couldn't help it at all.
Jiang Xian stretched out his hand to straighten his sleeves, and said in a meaningful tone, "The one with the highest price today will definitely return with satisfaction, okay?"
Satisfied and returned, it is the one who asks the highest price to say that he is satisfied before it can end.
These words cover a lot of meanings.
If he encounters someone who deliberately picks things up, Jiang Xian can only suffer from being dumb and stay with him until he is satisfied.
Even Liu Yan'er didn't have the guts to say that.
Dare to make this promise in front of so many people, it aroused everyone's curiosity.
"100 taels!"
"150 taels!"
"200 taels!"
Others in the hall also started to increase their fares.
Among them, there are even men who often linger on such occasions, and they can't help but want to increase the price.
On the one hand, I am curious about what surprises this man in red can bring.
On the other hand, compared to him, Liu Yan'er, the courtesan of Yihong Court, was too vulgar, and couldn't match his appearance at all.
Therefore, many people in the hall did not hold back the price increase, buying something new.
Ms. Lu was obviously not convinced, and directly increased the price to 300 taels.
The battle is in full swing.
The distinguished guest on the second floor didn't move at all, as if he didn't care at all.
But only Jiang Xian knew that he had been staring at him.
Even though the hood covered his face, his fiery eyes never moved away from him.
Jiang Xian didn't care about the emperor who threw himself into the brothel, instead he smiled slightly and looked at Miss Lu in the audience, "This lady offered 300 taels, is there a higher offer?"
"If not—"
"350 taels!" Another regular customer of Yihong Courtyard who had a crush on Jiang Xian raised the price again.
"400 taels!" Miss Lu continued to argue.
"500 taels."
"600 taels!"
Everyone else in Yihong Courtyard looked dumbfounded.
Xu's mother counted the money with her fingers, and she couldn't keep her eyes open when she laughed.
In the end, Ms. Lu called for 1000 taels, and that person didn't continue to increase the price.
Mother Xu came forward to say hello, and asked with a smile, "Miss Lu, 1000 taels of silver? Is there anyone who is higher than Miss Lu?"
Xie Rui was watching a play, but he couldn't help but want to make a move after watching it, also to buy something new.
"One thousand five hundred taels."
"Prince Rui—" Liu Yan'er felt uncomfortable when she heard Xie Rui's bid.
"Be good, Yan'er, don't make trouble."
Prince Rui bid 500 taels! !
Mother Xu had never seen this battle before, and she knew the prince's special status, so she didn't dare to reveal it, she just said, "Here, this son is 500 taels, does anyone want to increase the price?"
Ms. Lu's silver taels are limited, and 1000 taels is already the most.
Looking at Jiang Xian on the stage, he could only give up unwillingly.
Right now, the people in the hall, including Xie Rui, are all paying attention to Jiang Xian, waiting to see who bids the highest in the end.
So when Xie Jiuyuan got up to leave, no one noticed.
Jiang Xian also didn't find out until after the person left.
"In that case, then 500 taels, the deal..."
"Hold on."
"Our master offered a price of ten thousand taels, and he took it away."
Ten thousand, ten thousand taels? ?
Xu's mother almost fell off the stage with weak legs, she couldn't believe what she heard.
The people below also sighed for a while, talking about who is so rich, and the bid is 1 taels of silver!
This 1 taels can be redeemed for all the girls in Yihong Courtyard.
There is no doubt that there is no higher than 1 taels.
Xie Rui also had question marks all over his head, who is who? ?
The full 1 taels of silver bills were just handed over to Mama Xu, who took it and put it into her arms like a baby.
Jiang Xian was led to a wing room at the end of the corridor on the second floor.
Xie Rui was still a little curious and wanted to follow up to have a look, but Liu Yan'er kept pestering him.
I can only ask Mrs. Xu later, who is the price of 1 taels.
After Jiang Xian entered, he saw a man in a black skirt, with well-defined facial features and sharp sword eyebrows, and there seemed to be a lot of chill around him.
The valance that conceals the real face is placed on the table.
Jiang Xian naturally recognized this figure, after all, he had seen it several times in the audience.
This was a serious first meeting without any curtains.
A duplicity dog emperor.
It looks pretty good.
Before Jiang Xian came in, someone arranged to say that the people in the wing room wanted to call him Jiu Ye.
"Jiuye." Jiang Xian lowered his voice and called out, the voice was moving.
Xie Jiuyuan didn't seem to have any extra emotion on his face. He sat aside and didn't even give Jiang Xian a look.
But if you don't care at all, why spend two dollars to bring people up?
For Xie Jiuyuan, a prince captured by an enemy country is like an ant that can be executed at any time.
Before Xie Jiuyuan could speak, Jiang Xian asked for a pot of wine.
There was a smile on the corner of Jiang Xian's lips, and he said meaningfully, "Remember to prepare the wine that Master Jiu likes. Since Master Jiu spent ten thousand taels of silver, he will definitely let Master Jiu return home with pleasure."
The guards in the wing also saw Xie Jiuyuan nodding, so they went down to prepare.
I thought the wine was for fun.
However, he never expected that the prince of Nanliang would have so many tricks.
Zhang Desheng checked it himself to make sure there was no problem, and then arranged for someone to deliver the things in.
Looking at the closed door of the wing, Zhang Desheng couldn't hide the worry in his eyes.
Your Majesty's sacrifice this time is really too great!They have already sent people to the brothel, and they personally took risks to test whether the prince of Nanliang has any strange skills.
Outside, Manager Zhang was praying that His Majesty would not have any accidents.
Inside the house, Xie Jiuyuan and Jiang Xian were alone in the room, and the atmosphere gradually became...unusual.
Jiang Xian buckled up the wine glasses that were sent to him one by one.
The wine was brought, but without the glass.
So, what to use?
