my steam dam

Chapter 41 Save it, save it!
The next day.

Suzhou Mansion, which was already very prosperous, has been gathering Confucian students wearing Confucian shirts and Mohist students wearing short jackets with tight sleeves and straight collars since noon.

The wealthy dudes of Suzhou Prefecture and surrounding counties also rode tall horses, or took carriages, and what’s more, they rode steam bicycles alone, constantly entering the city from the four gates of Suzhou Prefecture.

"Master Su, are you here too?"

"Aren't you too?"

"Haha, so you are also a fellow?"

"Miss Gu's oiran banquet, how can I miss it?"

"Indeed, indeed, as long as Brother Yu is still alive, he must have crawled to Suzhou Mansion."

Many scholars and dandies were very familiar with each other, and when they met in the city, they looked at each other and smiled, with an expression that everyone was like-minded, and they chatted enthusiastically.

"Brother Qin didn't come. How could he miss such a grand event of meeting friends through literature?"

"Hey, Lao Liu, you don't know about this, Mr. Qin, he has a strong character of Jian'an, a legacy of Wei Wu."

"I don't like Miss Gu, a virgin who is still young."

"Hahaha, I didn't expect Brother Qin to be so kind. No wonder he loses interest every time I mention Miss Gu to him. That's why!"

Peng Ke, who also just came out of the Thousand Households Office and was passing by the east gate, heard the astonishing words from the mouths of these two dudes in brocade clothes, his eyelids twitched wildly.

Good guy, he likes mature women, so he can also be described as having a strong character of Jian'an and a legacy of Wei Wu.

You are worthy of being a man of culture, man of culture!
"Ahem, you are familiar with the city of Suzhou, lead the way, and we will also go to the oiran banquet to join in the fun!"

"Look at this witch from the Hehuan Sect, what the hell is going on!"

After Peng Ke gave Mo Xu a word calmly, he put on an expression of only business, with his brows furrowed, his head bowed in thought.

However, his somewhat hasty and messy footsteps still revealed a little thoughtfulness.

Mo Xu had to speed up his pace many times to ensure that he could always "lead the way".

Mengxian Pavilion, located on the edge of Taihu Lake, covers an extremely large area, and is the most famous place in Suzhou Prefecture.

Although it is called a pavilion, it is actually a continuous building complex, not only has its own garden, but also has a wharf directly connected to Taihu Lake.

Guests can take a boat directly from Mengxian Pavilion to visit Taihu Lake with the girls.

Guests who want to come to Mengxian Pavilion for entertainment can also take a boat directly from the surrounding prefectures and counties to Mengxian Pavilion via Taihu Lake, which is very convenient.

In the previous life, it was a super high-end club with an area comparable to a golf course, and it also had its own dock and boat parking lot!

At this time, outside this top-level club that is famous all over the south of the Yangtze River, there is already a lot of traffic.

Scholars and chivalrous men, princes and young masters drove here all the time, and most of them came here for the oiran banquet.

Otherwise, there is no way to visit brothels in the afternoon.

The managers of Mengxian Pavilion are obviously well prepared for today's situation. Dozens of people who are like tortoises and servants stand outside Mengxian Pavilion. Whenever a guest comes in, they will take the initiative to greet them. Make introductions and lead the way.

Peng Kegang brought Ah Hu and Mo Xu outside Mengxian Pavilion.

Immediately, there was a young boy who seemed to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, and the fluff on his lips hadn't faded, and he took the initiative to greet him.

"Please come inside the guest officer!"

"This guest officer is so face-to-face! Is this the first time you've come to our Mengxian Pavilion? Are you also here to attend the oiran banquet held by Miss Gu?"

Although this young man is young, his ability to observe words and expressions is very good.

But after meeting each other, he saw that the three of them were headed by Peng Ke, and approached him very enthusiastically to start a conversation with Peng Ke.

Peng Ke nodded reservedly, and followed the boy to Mengxian Pavilion.

While walking, he also asked: "It seems that today's oiran banquet is very lively, and there are many people who come here for fame."

The servant gave a flattering smile, bowed his waist and said proudly: "I really told the guest officer that there are quite a lot of young talents attending the Oiran Club today."

"Miss Gu, who is well-known in the south of the Yangtze River, wants to make friends through literature, and talented scholars from Suzhou Prefecture and surrounding counties will naturally come here."

"After all, it is an old and modern story that a talented man matches a beautiful woman."

"For a talented person like you who is either rich or noble, such a refined thing is naturally not to be missed."

It is easy to see that Peng Ke is either rich or noble.

After all, he took two guards with him when he went out, and he was pampered, and he didn't deliberately cover it up.

Indeed, one can tell at a glance that he is a bit more noble than ordinary people.

But the young servant said these words very cleverly, not only pointing out that there are a lot of people attending the oiran banquet today, but also boasting that this is the reason for such a grand event because of the famous oiran of Mengxian Pavilion.

At the same time, he still didn't forget to praise Peng Ke, a high-ranking official, and put a high hat on him.

After listening to his words, normal people will definitely feel very comfortable in their hearts.

It's not easy at such a young age.

It can also be seen that this Mengxian Pavilion is indeed not simple, and even a young servant has been trained very well.

However, there is no such thing as Peng Ke not being able to find Bei after being praised for a few words.

It's not like the few guest officials received by the boy before, who were touched by the itch in their hearts and happily gave him some rewards.

Penke just followed behind him with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face, without saying a word.

This made the boy a little disappointed.

Could it be that I read it wrong?This seemingly rich or expensive guest officer is actually a guy who doesn't have much money in his pocket and looks like a fat man with a swollen face?
But looking at the two guards who were following behind Penke and looking him up and down with dangerous eyes, the boy still put away his messy thoughts, and led Penke all the way with his head bowed and humbly.

After walking for 5 minutes, they came to a very large garden.

"Guest officer, the oiran banquet is held here." The young man pointed to the open space in the center of the garden filled with tables and tables, and said with a smile: "This time Miss Gu is hosting the oiran banquet, there are three levels of seating. .”

"The first tier is a single table for one person, adhering to the ancient system of divided seats, each guest officer is seated separately, and can sit at the head, and a table needs to pay ten taels of silver."

"And the second level is for table reservations. Three or five friends in the same business can sit at the same table. They also need ten taels of silver, but only ten taels per table."

"As for the third stage, it is to share a table with other banquet participants. A table can seat ten people, and each person only needs one tael of silver."

"I don't know, guest officer, do you plan to share a table, sit alone, or book a table with your two guards?"

Peng Ke heard the contempt mixed in the boy's tone, and glanced at him lightly.

Dare to look down on this son?
Do you think this young master is reluctant to sit at that alone table?

Hey, what a good read!

"Ah Hu, give him three taels of silver. We can share the table with other talented scholars, so we can communicate more with Jiangnan talented scholars!"

Ah Hu was quite ashamed of his elder son's stingy behavior, so he quickly took out three taels of silver from his pocket and threw it to the servant.

"Go do your own work, let's just find a table and sit at random."

After the boy took the money, he gave them a strange look, then turned and left.

As he walked back, he whispered, "I really guessed it, I really slapped my face to pretend to be fat!"

"It seems to be either rich or expensive, but I didn't expect that I would be reluctant to pay even ten taels of silver."

Considering that the three of them are at the lowest level of martial arts, they are also second-rate masters. The boy's muttering, which he thought was low, could be heard clearly in their ears.

The embarrassment on Ah Hu's face became more obvious.

"My lord, didn't Miss Mu's family give you 1 taels just now?"

Peng Ke gave him a blank look, and said angrily, "Are you here for the oiran banquet to eat?"

"Today, my son will teach you another truth. Go to the bar by bicycle!"

"Money must be spent wisely!"

"Also, when you are away from home, call me son!"
