Chapter 1248 Volunteers take the bait
"Zuo Zuo, you can't do this!" Zhao Hai woke up and grabbed Chen Xu's sleeve.
"Why, Xu has secretly spent nearly 200,000 yuan on this courtesan competition, how can he give up halfway!" Chen Xu looked at Zhao Hai in confusion and said.
"There are so many Quyuan Gardens in Xianyang, but there are only ten courtesans. If they were all bought by Zuo Xiang, wouldn't the other Quyuan Gardens be able to drink the northwest wind?" Zhao Hai shouted excitedly.
"Mo and don't be excited. What's the relationship between the other Quyuan and Jiancheng Hou? Besides, there are 20 and 30 behind, which must be good..."
"No, no, have you forgotten that Hai's Chunfang Garden is also short of famous actors, so you have to leave a few for me!" Zhao Hai interrupted Chen Xu excitedly.
Zhao Hai had already understood Chen Xu's plan in a few words, which was to expand Qinghe Garden to prepare to capture all the best prostitutes among the many Quyuans in Xianyang. If the top ten are really taken to Qinghe Garden, then Qinghe Garden will definitely become popular, and other Quyuans will have business impacts, and the one that is most affected is definitely his Chunfang Garden.
With the reputation of the round, Qinghe Garden is already the top music garden in Xianyang and even the entire Daqin. Whether from Xianyang or outsiders, they praise Qinghe Garden. Chunfang Garden has just opened. This time, he chose a top card to participate in the competition. It is estimated that the third round will be eliminated and cannot enter the top 30.
In terms of power, Zhao Hai knew that he was incomparable to Chen Xu and was not worthy of carrying shoes. He, a royal nobleman, could not catch up with Qinghehou's little finger in the eyes of the emperor or the people.
And money cannot be compared, Qinghe Hou is truly rich and can match a country.
The hottest topic in Xianyang today is that Qinghehou is preparing to invest 500 million yuan for free to promote the creation of the Daqin water, land, sea transportation and transportation network. This plan with a total investment of 4 billion cannot even support the country. No matter the court or the Shaofu, Qinghehou is ready to bear the 500 million yuan, which makes Fan Caiying, a concubine who helps him control the Huaxia Money House, secretly wrote a letter to modify the content and trespass the court, just to ask the emperor for an explanation. He did not want Qinghehou to selflessly contribute to the country and the people and spend all his family's wealth.
Although Fan Caiying's approach is surprising, this incident also means that it is that Qinghe Hou is indeed rich.
Five hundred million, countless people can't imagine what kind of wealth it is. Therefore, if Chen Xu really plans to buy the top ten courtesans, not to mention that all the owners of the Quyuan Garden have to surrender. The little money spent is just a drop in the bucket for Chen Xu.
But this is a dime for Chen Xu and an astronomical figure for Zhao Hai. Even a million yuan would make him vomit blood.
The wealth of the royal family is just an empty shell, and it is actually not that glamorous inside.
If these best prostitutes were bought by Qingheyuan, then his wish to seduce princes, princes, ministers, and wealthy merchants with Chunfangyuan may be disappointed. Everyone is not short of money, and no one who doesn’t have any delicious food or fun will support you, let alone the venue for Zhao Hai, which is far less than the venue for Qinghehou. The difference between this is the difference between heaven and earth.
"March Jiancheng wants it too?" Chen Xu asked in surprise.
"Natural, Hai's Chunfang Garden has just opened. Now he has collected Luo Youling everywhere. But he has found a few young ladies who are unsuccessful. Zuo Xiang must leave three or five for Hai to go back to support the venue!" Zhao Hai nodded quickly.
"Left Prime Minister, what Jiancheng Hou said makes sense. If you buy all the top ten courtesans, you are afraid that many of the Quyuan's business will plummet. Your business is good. After Jiancheng Hou will cry at home every day!" Qing Hou, who has a good relationship with Zhao Hai, is next to him, nodded and helped.
"Yes, Zuo Xiang must not eat up all the delicious food. It's better to leave some soup for me so that all the guests will run away..." Zhao Hai ordered his head like a chicken pecking at rice.
"What you said makes sense, let's do it. The courtesan competition has just been the second round, and it will take at least half a month to finish the competition. After the rankings are released, we will call these courtesans and the owners they belong to to discuss. Although I want to catch them all in one place, I still need to consider the development of other Quyuans, so as not to make me a reputation for buying and selling. At that time, I and Jiancheng Hou will be half of the courtesans who can be bought and sold. How about it?" Chen Xu pinched his chin and thought about it for a long time.
"Okay, okay, Zuo Prime Minister's method is good!" Zhao Hai breathed a long sigh, and after he calmed down, he bowed his hands to thank him repeatedly.
Looking at Zhao Hai's appearance, Chen Xu felt that the previous plan was indeed a bit redundant, and he was indeed not in the game.
Zhao Hai is just an idle royal family marquis. Although he is a bit cunning, he does not have too many twists and turns of the court officials such as Li Simengyi. At most, he is at the same level as himself and is entirely supported by the emperor. On the way he came just now, Chen Xu had completely revised his plan.
Jiang Taigong's fishing wisher took the bait, and Chen Xu decided to seduce Zhao Hai in a more direct way and let him take the bait by himself, so as not to let Meng Yi get involved in the middle and let Zhao Hai see the suspicion.
What's more, the courtesan competition is really the same as what Yu Wuya said. In fact, there are many people in doubt. Covering it will only make people more suspicious, and it is better to admit it openly.
The competition on the stage continued, and Chen Xu, Zhao Hai and others also watched while discussing the situation of the game. Chen Xu also basically understood several very powerful players in this courtesan competition.
Soon after the performance of seven or eight famous actors finished today's competition came to an end.
Frightened by Wukong, Lin Xian'er changed into a short dress with a cut and combo, dressed up again and went on stage, playing a dance music she arranged with her pipa, and dancers accompanied by dancers. However, it may be because of the excessive fright, but the performance was not very good. There were mistakes in the performance of the song several times, but because of the novel and melodious tunes of the song, the score was still relatively high, and she successfully advanced to the third round of the competition.
After the competition, the bustling audience left under the command of the lieutenant and police officers who maintained public order. Soon the stage and the streets and alleys around the nearby were empty. When Chen Xu, Meng Yi and Zhao Hai and other groups were about to go to have a banquet, Lin Xian'er came to thank Chen Xu with his pipa with two maids and a middle-aged man.
"I thank you for helping you solve your problems today!"
Lin Xian'er is about twenty years old. Not only is she outstanding in appearance, but her figure is also extremely mature and convex. She is wearing a simple long dress with white and blue on the top and blue on the bottom and is stylish, and her soft voice reveals a charming and charming look.
He is indeed a stunner!
Even though he was used to being beautiful, Chen Xu, who had many beautiful wives and concubines at home, had to admit that Lin Xian'er was considered the best among the beauties he saw.
But beauty is beautiful, which makes Chen Xusheng unable to make any ripples. His wife and concubines are all over the place, and his own fields are almost endless. It is better to do what you can do if you can, let alone such a woman with a low status and pitiful status. You can just pity her, but you can just forget about other ideas.
"It's okay. Today, this is my lord's pet animal that disturbed Miss Xian'er, which also caused Miss Xian'er to fail to perform well. In order to express my lord's apology, I will arrange for someone and the girl to send a bottle of perfume and ten pieces of soap to apologize. I hope that next time I can show my musical talent and finally enter the final and win the top scorer!" Chen Xu said a few words of comfort in his heart.
"Thank you, Marquis!" Lin Xian'er's body was trembling slightly when she heard this, and even the middle-aged man following him shivered excitedly.
Although it has been half a year since the perfume appeared, it has only been known but not seen. Women from the noble and wealthy class praised it as a fairy. They were made by using fairy techniques to make fragrance essences extracted from flowers and plants after 49 days. They are more valuable than gold silk. Just a crystal bottle and a fragrant wood packaging box are worth thousands of yuan, and they cannot be bought. The noble ladies show off each other, and ordinary people cannot see each other.
I heard that the perfume is available in Qinghe Shopping Mall, but ordinary people can hardly see it. Only wealthy and powerful women such as kings, princes, officials and wealthy families can buy it. They also need to be booked in advance. The price is extremely expensive. Ordinary rich people cannot afford it, let alone the lowly women who are wandering around in the miscellaneous houses of Quyuan. As slaves, if no one redeems himself, they can only live in the lowest level of the lowest level for the rest of their lives, even if they have children, they are still slaves.
Although Lin Xian'er is very popular in Quyuan, and is talented and proficient in poetry, songs, music and dance, she never hopes to get a bottle of perfume one day, and even the soap that appears in spring is not too hot, because the number is small and not enough to sell, it is not their turn to be a woman like them. He heard that Qinghe Hou was also preparing to launch a soap used by ordinary people, which only costs twenty yuan, but the time is still far away, and I don't know when it will be launched.
But today I was frightened on the stage and became ugly. I was dependent on my good fortune and misfortune, and I received a personal apology and compensation from the Hou Qinghe.
With the face of Qinghehou, the competition will definitely be smooth sailing in the future, and maybe we can win the top three...
While Chen Xu was talking to Lin Xian'er, Meng Yi and Zhao Hai and other groups of kings, princes, princes, and ministers who came to watch the courtesan competition were all standing next to each other. A group of middle-aged and elderly hooligans were almost staring at Lin Xian'er, some looked at her face, some looked at her chest, and some looked at her legs. Her naked eyes made Lin Xian'er's cheeks flush and she dared not look up.
Lin Xian'er's fame has been very popular in Xianyang recently. I heard that she had almost reached the full score in the first round, and the score in the second round is still very high. The handicap for the people to win the top is already very high, and it is almost certain to advance to the top ten.
The only drawback is that Lin Xian'er is not a local player in Xianyang and has no home court advantage. Although she has received praise from many Confucian disciples and romantic celebrities, she does not guarantee that she can really enter the top three.
It can be seen from the similar results of the first two rounds of the game. Although the score is very high, there are several top cards selected by Quyuan in Xianyang and those who have scored full marks. Several of them are pressing on her head in each round, so many people are not optimistic about it.
