Chuyao and the others had just finished their lunch when Wen Guo envoys came to meet them.
"The princess knew that King Ning was too tired, so she specially arranged a hotel." It was Cao Lu, Wen Guoqing's doctor who was taking care of Xiao Jing, who spoke. I saw that he was of medium height, with a lean figure and a shrewd countenance.
Although Xiao Jing didn't intentionally hide his identity on this trip, but he traveled so lightly and easily. He never expected to be recognized by Wen Guo's envoy within two days after entering Wen Guo's border. It seems that this Princess Fengzheng is very concerned about Yan Guo's movements.
"Then I will thank Mr. Cao to lead the way." Xiao Jing and his party followed Cao Lu to the hotel.
The hotel that Wen Guo arranged for Xiao Jing is not big, but it is unique and elegant everywhere, and the white flowers in the garden are refreshing.
After washing off the dust all over her body and changing her clothes, when Chuyao walked out of the room, the sky was already red.
She walked to the garden with nothing to do, and saw Xiao Jing already admiring the flowers in the courtyard. She didn't want to face him alone, and wanted to retreat, but Xiao Jing's hearing was excellent, and she said: "You are here."
It seemed abrupt to leave now, as if she was avoiding him on purpose.
Chuyao took a breath, stepped forward and walked to Xiao Jing's side, he didn't speak again, Chuyao just looked at the white flowers all over the garden. Only then did I notice that the white petals were like jade with crystals inside.
"This is the unique jade garden flower of Wen Kingdom." Xiao Jing said.
The Yuting flower is the national flower of the Wen Kingdom. It is extremely difficult to grow and maintain. It is an extremely precious flower species. Just like the name of Yuting Flower, the garden is full of flowers and the garden is like jade. This is the flower of the Wen royal family or the dignitaries that symbolize nobility.
"Princess Fengzheng has a heart." Chuyao pulled the corner of her mouth a little, walked in front of Yutinghua, sniffed the fragrance of the flower, and said, "You have a heart for my lord."
Xiao Jing looked at her back from behind. The poison on her body became more and more serious in the past few days. Seeing that the blue gown was getting looser and looser, his brows could not help but frown, and he didn't care about Chu Yao's words.
Chuyao turned around, facing Xiao Jing's chest. At some point, he had already come so close, and subconsciously took a step back.
At this moment, He Ling happened to pass by the garden. Seeing that the two were so close, he felt weird, so he stepped forward and said, "Sister Yao, I was just looking for you."
"What's wrong?"
He Ling glanced at Xiao Jing, lowered his eyebrows and said nothing, obviously he didn't want him to be there, but Xiao Jing didn't intend to leave, but turned around indifferently, looking at the Yuting flower.
Chuyao walked away a few steps, He Ling followed behind, "Can you say it?"
"Sister Yao, it's better not to get too close to Xiao Jing, I always feel that something is wrong." He Ling lowered his voice, frowned and said, "He looks at you wrongly."
Chu Yao smiled, it turned out that this was what He Ling and her were going to talk about. I remember when I was in Prince Ning's Mansion, when Du Xiruo came to her that day, he said the same thing, telling her not to get too close to Xiao Jing, because Xiao Jing would not treat people easily.
She didn't know in her heart that Xiao Jing was a handsome talent in the world, sitting in the three armies, and his mind and vision were different from those of others. As for why Xiao Jing spent so much time on her, she couldn't figure it out. A place where he can plot.
"Sister Yao, did you hear that?" Seeing that Chuyao didn't immediately agree, He Ling asked anxiously.
Chuyao regained consciousness, nodded and said, "I see."
After getting a satisfactory answer, He Ling left the garden.
Xiao Jing stood with his back, and said in a cold voice, "He really cares about you." Apparently, Xiao Jing's ears are so good that he stopped everything he said just now.
Chuyao raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Why, does this mean that King Ning Qiansui is jealous?"
Xiao Jing turned to look at her, his obsidian-like eyes shimmered, and in a sea of ??white flowers, the black clothes looked particularly tall and straight, but there was nothing discordant, his slashed thin lips moved slightly: "If I say yes."
The cold face looked particularly serious, which made Chu Yao startled.
Before she could recover, Xiao Jing had already turned and left.
At night, the full moon is in the sky, and the stars are bright.
Wen country is located in the south of Yan country, and autumn comes later than Yan country. Now it is the end of summer, and insects are singing everywhere in the courtyard. Chu Yao lay down, but he still couldn't get rid of Xiao Jing's words, if I say yes Woolen cloth.
Throwing off the thin quilt, she turned over, put on her clothes, and went out.
She is now Xiao Jing's servant boy, so she can come and go freely in the hotel, and Xiao Jing has no intention of restraining her.
After calling Liu Shu, both of them dressed up in men's clothes and left the hotel.
"Tonight, I heard that Mr. Suyan has been listed."
"No way? Mr. Suyan hasn't been listed for many years, how could it be?"
"It's absolutely true. ??
A few young people passed by talking and laughing in front, and Chuyao became interested, so he asked where Hanxiang Tower was. Liu Shu looked at her worriedly, and said in a low voice, "Miss, that's where men go, we"
"Aren't we men now?" Chuyao pursed her lips and smiled, she was very interested in the fact that the Suyan Sanxuanqin could play twenty-four notes.
?Hanxiang Building, with the fragrance of makeup and powder, and the shadows of clouds and temples, is very lively.
Mr. Su Yan, the oiran who has not been listed for three years, suddenly listed his card tonight. It is no wonder that there are crowds of people inside and outside the building, and there are both men and women. Of course, Su Yan's listing is not a prostitution.
He is not only the oiran of Hanxiang Building, but also the owner of Hanxiang Building, and what he puts up for sale is nothing more than Quyi.
?Wen Kingdom was founded by a female emperor, which is different from the other three countries where men are superior to women. Over the past few hundred years, although women's rights have weakened, they are still a little more open than other countries in this matter.
Su Yan's attainments in rhythm also attracted many noble ladies, and Hanxiang Building specially set up private rooms for them, and the bidding was done by a special person.
"Young master, are we really going in?" Liu Shu couldn't help asking when she came to the gate of Hanxiang Tower.
Chuyao had already stepped into the door with one foot. She was wearing ordinary clothes and a mediocre mask. Naturally, no one came forward to greet her when she came in. She found a corner and sat down, and Liu Shu followed her in.
Looking around the inner hall, there is a tall red platform in the center, with carved beams and painted buildings, full of red shadows, this Hanxiang building is also strange, the inside is much quieter than the outside, it seems that the theater has not yet opened, and everyone is waiting with bated breath.
There are two floors in total, and the upper floor is full of boxes for VIPs. When Chuyao looked up, she saw a woman covered with tulle walking into a room. She really didn't expect that Wen Guo women could really go to brothels .
A girl in pink came out from behind the curtain of the red platform, holding a gong and drum in her hand. As soon as she came out, she knocked on the gong with a soft and sweet voice: "Masters and ladies, Mr. Suyan is listed today. As the old rule, the one with the highest price wins. But you have to answer a question of Mr. Suyan before it can be counted."
After finishing speaking, the gong was struck again, and everyone in the audience began to bid.
"If Mr. Suyan doesn't show up, are you starting to bid now?" Liu Shu was puzzled.
"If you are famous, why come out? If you don't come out, it will be more special." Chuyao took a cup and took a sip of tea.
? It has already been raised to three thousand silver.
The people who bought the house also started to send people to bid, and within a quarter of an hour, they doubled again.
"Three thousand pieces of gold." Suddenly a familiar female voice sounded in the hall. The women who can pay such a high price are usually in the private room, so when they heard this voice suddenly, everyone couldn't help but look sideways.
It turned out to be Ke Rou.
"Why is Miss Ke here? Could it be that she is also interested in Mr. Su Yan?" Liu Shu wondered.
"No, she is interested in He Ling." Chu Yao smiled.
"Could it be that Mr. He is here too?" Liu Shu looked around, but did not see He Ling.
Ke Rou didn't notice them sitting in the corner, she stood in the lobby, only looked at the stage, and watched her discussing under the rustling, a little girl of fifteen or sixteen, who could be so generous, which family did she belong to? Miss?
The woman in pink on the stage obviously took offense at the guests who spent a lot of money, and laughed at Yan Yan: "This girl has three thousand gold, is there anyone else who is higher?"
"Five thousand gold." A boy in blue came out of the private room and said to the downstairs.
It was the lady who covered her face with tulle just now, Chuyao looked up, just in the crack of the door, saw the woman holding a chess piece in her hand, frowned deeply, it seemed that there was another person on the opposite side.
Looking sideways at Ke Rou again, I saw that she was frowning, a little displeased, probably unable to offer a higher price than five thousand gold.
