55 The quack of a good fight and a good fight!
Yang Ding looked at the pass card in his hand and couldn't help but said to Gongsun Yi: "Brother Gongsun, this Miss Su Jian Jian Su is really careful in her work. She is a second-class brand, low-key and luxurious. She can enjoy the Liuying Pavilion without being in the limelight."
With first-class treatment, those customers who get the first-class brand must be rich or expensive. If we really get the first-class brand, we don’t know how many people will pay attention!"
The three of them squeezed into the door of Liuying Hall and handed the sign in their hands forward. When the madam at the door saw that it was a second-class sign, he immediately had a smile on his face.
"Invite the gentlemen inside. Chunxi quickly leads the gentlemen to the second floor!"
Yang Ding and the others walked into the Liuying Pavilion. The Liuying Pavilion was divided into three floors: upper, middle and lower. The interior of the pavilion was extremely luxurious with carved beams and paintings. The third floor was a first-class private room with the best and most secret location.
On the second floor is the sign held by Yang Ding and the others. It is a small partition, which provides good privacy and is also the best place to watch the performance.
As for the first floor, it is a place for entertaining ordinary guests. But today, if there is no third-class sign, you can't get in. I heard that the third-class sign outside Liuying Pavilion has been sold to fifty taels, and there are still some
The price is priceless!
"Brother Gongsun!?" Just after Yang Ding and the others took their seats, another acquaintance recognized Gongsun Yi.
This is not surprising. The Gongsun family is a wealthy family in Qingzhou Prefecture, and Gongsun Yi is well-known in the circle of scholars. It is normal for him to have many friends.
Tang Mobai? Cheng Huaiye!
Yang Ding looked back following the shouting, and it turned out that the person who had just spoken was Tang Mobai, whom he had met once before in Haidai Tower, and the person behind Tang Mobai was none other than Cheng Huaiye, an old acquaintance of Yang Ding!
"Hey, who is this ---? Why does he look so familiar? Are you Brother Xiao?" When Tang Mobai walked in and saw Xiao Weiyin, he paused for a moment and asked as if he was unsure.
Xiao Weiyin smiled and nodded, and Gongsun Yi hurriedly said: "What? Why can't Brother Tang recognize Brother Xiao? Brother Mo Bai, does he think it's strange that Brother Xiao and I are together?"
Tang Mobai shook his head and said with a smile: "I just looked clumsy, please forgive me, Brother Xiao, who is this---?"
As Tang Mobai spoke, he looked like Yang Ding again. When Tang Mobai's eyes fell on Yang Ding's face, he felt even more familiar. But if he said they had seen each other before, Tang Mobai was a little unsure. After all, he almost admitted his mistake just now.
Now that I know someone, I don’t dare to admit it anymore!
"Yang Ding! How could it be you! Why are you here?" Cheng Huaiye said at this time.
Yang Ding smiled and said: "Master Cheng can be here, why can't I be here? If I remember correctly, Master Cheng should be from Zhucheng County!"
"Yang Ding, as an official of Le'an County, you appeared in the Liuying Pavilion of Qingzhou Prefecture. If Master Sun knew about this, wouldn't it be a little bad?" Cheng Huaiye snorted coldly and said.
"Why don't Mr. Cheng know this? I'm no longer working in Le'an County! It's Mr. Cheng, the son of Mr. Cheng who is a doctor in the Ministry of Civil Service, but he appears in a brothel in Qingzhou Prefecture. This is not good!"
Yang Ding retorted sarcastically.
"Brother Mo Bai, we all have guests today. This is not the place to talk and reminisce. How about we chat some other time?" Gongsun Yi was really curious about Yang Ding's origins. How come he could meet him wherever he went?
Enemies!
Tang Mobai and Cheng Huaiye turned the corner and came to another cubicle. Wanxi was already waiting in the cubicle. When Cheng Huaiye saw them,
Wanxi smiled and said: "Brother Wan, why are you here so early?"
Wanxi said: "It's not early, I just arrived. I must be Mr. Tang. Mr. Tang, I've heard Brother Cheng talk about you a lot! Hey, did Mr. Tang and Brother Cheng encounter any unpleasantness?"
Cheng Huaiye said: "It's nothing, I just met someone who surprised me! Someone who shouldn't have appeared in Qingzhou Mansion!"
"You mean Yang Ding? Yang Ding also came to Liuying Pavilion?" Wan Xi frowned and asked.
"Did Brother Wan already know that Yang Ding came to Qingzhou Mansion?" Cheng Huaiye asked in surprise.
"Yes, Yang Ding just met the imperial envoy yesterday. For some unknown reason, this kid actually got into Wei Qianhu's family!" Wan Xi said.
"Brother Wan, I really underestimated him before. This boy is not very capable but has many connections, and his ambition and courage are not small!" Cheng Huaiye said.
"Why would Brother Cheng say that?"
Cheng Huaiye said: "This boy not only wants to be Mr. Sun's son-in-law, but also deceives Brother Wan. I'm afraid Brother Wan still doesn't know that girl Yue Yayue is actually not a fool at all, but a delicate yellow flower girl.
!”
"What! Brother Cheng, what did you say?" Wanxi's eyebrows raised, and a fierce look suddenly flashed in her eyes.
"Brother Wan, I'm afraid you don't know yet. The girl Yue Yayue you are interested in is not a fool at all, but is pretending! A girl from an ordinary family can learn so vividly. If there is no one to guide her, I am determined to
I won’t believe it!” Cheng Huaiye said.
"Brother Cheng, are you serious? How did you know?" Wanxi asked.
Cheng Huaiye said: "Because I was in the car that night when Yuying was kidnapped. Judging from the reaction of the girl Yue at that time, she didn't look like a fool!"
Wanxi saw that Cheng Huaiye's words were firm and it didn't look like he was lying. There was an obvious killing intent in his eyes.
"Brother Wan, we can put this grudge aside for now. Tonight is definitely not a good opportunity for revenge!" Tang Mobai looked at a private room on the third floor and said.
Wan Xi followed Tang Mobai's gaze and the anger in his heart gradually calmed down. Tang Mobai sneered and said, "Brother Wan, this is a place of romance. It's not easy to embarrass Yang Ding."
?”
Yang Ding and the other three drank wine in the partition. Unknowingly, it was getting dark. Dozens of lanterns of various sizes in the Liuying Pavilion illuminated various places in the museum. Naturally, the candles used in the Liuying Pavilion were the best.
Coupled with the classic carved lanterns, it is absolutely beautiful. Yang Ding calculated that the candles for this night alone would cost more than ten taels.
"Brother Gongsun, what's wrong?" Yang Ding asked when he saw some unexpected expressions on Gongsun Yi's face from time to time.
Gongsun Yidao: "Brother Yang, I'm afraid the guests tonight are not the only talented people from our Qingzhou Prefecture!"
Yang Ding smiled and said: "This is natural. The talented people in Jinan Mansion will definitely not miss such a lively event like the opening of a branch of Liuying Pavilion!"
Gongsun Yi shook his head and said: "Not only Jinan Mansion, but also Laizhou Mansion, and most of the guests on the second floor are the heads of the previous children's examination, or prominent local nobles, who are sitting on the second floor.
This is all the case, I really don’t know who is sitting on the third floor!”
Yang Ding said with a smile: "No matter who he is, if anyone dares to take Miss Su's idea, we will kill him if we stand in his way!"
Gongsun Yi stretched out his right hand and waved it, jokingly: "If I want to kill you, I can't!"
While the two were chatting and laughing, the owner of Liuying Pavilion, an old bustard in his thirties, walked up to the temporary wooden stage on the first floor. As soon as the madam came on the stage, the originally bustling Liuying Pavilion immediately became quiet.
Come down.
The old bustard bowed to the four directions of Liuying Pavilion, and then smiled and said: "Dear guests who have come from afar, gentlemen, thank you very much for coming to our Liuying Pavilion tonight. Although our Liuying Pavilion is
It is a place of fireworks, but it is also a place of elegance. Our Liuying Pavilion is different from those small wild brothels. The girls in our Liuying Pavilion all have unique skills and are proficient in poetry, lyrics and songs, in order to win over all distinguished guests.
Smile!"
"Mom, we all know this. Where is Miss Su? We are here tonight just for Miss Su---"
Following this unknown shout, there was an instant commotion downstairs.
When the noise gradually subsided, the madam then smiled and said: "Miss Jian Jian will naturally come out. As the leading courtesan in the capital, how can Miss Jian Jian be the first to appear? No matter where she goes, there is no such rule!
"
"Even if Miss Su is going to be the last one to come out, then mother should find some girls for us to accompany us to eat, drink and talk about sex. You can't let us wait like this, right?"
The old bustard smiled and said: "Tonight is the first time that our Liuying Pavilion has opened its doors. Of course there are girls, but as I said just now, our Liuying Pavilion is not one of those ordinary wild brothels, so you talented people want to
To get the girl you like, you need to show some real skills!"
"Real ability? What real ability? Mom, if you have something to say, just say it!"
The old bustard said: "As I said just now, the girls in our Liuying Pavilion all have talents. In a while, the girls in our Liuying Pavilion will go on stage one by one to perform their talents for all the gentlemen. If any of the young gentlemen likes you,
, as long as you leave a calligraphy treasure, or a poem, or a rhyme, as long as the girl you like can choose the young master from the poems and songs written by the young masters, then the girl tonight will be the young master’s.
What do you think?"
Yang Ding and Gongsun Yi looked at each other and couldn't help but shake their heads and smile. Yang Ding said: "The business plan of Liuying Pavilion is very good, wonderful, and amazing!"
"What's the quack? Why can't I see how Liuyingguan's business is getting better?" Xiao Weiyin said.
Yang Dingdao: "The opening of Liuying Pavilion this time. Being able to invite Miss Su from the capital is a wonderful move. It can be said that Liuying Pavilion used a big move when it came up, and the shortcomings after the big move are also obvious. Then
Any tricks will be insignificant in front of Liuying Pavilion. In this way, if Miss Su leaves in the future, I don’t know how long the Liuying Pavilion’s signature will last.”
"That's why tonight the madam came up with the idea of making friends with literature, no, it should be said that she was winning girls with literature. Whoever is more talented tonight will be able to get the girl of his choice, so tonight all the talented people will definitely mess it up.
Only when you write the best poem in your life can you be sure to win the woman you like!" Gongsun Yi also said with a smile.
"Looking at the talents who came tonight, they are all the top cases in each county in the previous session. They must have excellent literary talents. Second brother, think about how grand these calligraphy treasures will be if they are marked and hung in Liuying Hall in the future.
