red man

Chapter 422 Well-informed

"Lang Jun's accent doesn't sound like a local..."

The old bustard reached out and touched Wei Hao's chest while speaking, but Wei Hao avoided it without a trace.

"My hometown is Beiyang Mansion, and it's my first time in Xiayi."

Entering this restaurant listed as "Tianxiang Pavilion", this is a pavilion with seven or eight floors, and the interior is decorated with red and pink intertwined. Most of the idle girls are playing musical instruments, and they are all on the first and second floors. Seeing their lazy and tired appearance.

Entertainment clubs are much the same, you don't feel tired when you are busy, and you will really lose your energy when you are idle.

The main reason is that there is no income, and it is not easy to be scolded by the boss.

"I'll order a table of food and drink, so I don't need to sleep."

"Oh, my lord is still a refined guest..."

This old lady can talk, and she said while soliciting, "I'm not bragging, the 'Jieer Miao' of 'Tianxiang Pavilion', the whole Ankang Square, is also countable. Besides, this dish is also a girl's handicraft, The number one among Tangzi dishes..."

"The boss can really talk."

Wei Hao smiled, but praised the old bustard, just because the old lady said "Tangzi cuisine", it is not the local particularity.

The so-called "Tangzi" is another name for brothels in Wei Hao's hometown of Beiyangfu, and it is a very local characteristic name.

The old bustard heard that Wei Hao was from Beiyang Prefecture, so he said that his family's "tangzi dishes" were the number one, and it was really good at what people said.

"Ahahaha, the more I look at my husband, the happier I am."

Covering her mouth and laughing complacently, the old bustard still has a charming charm, and when she smiles, she is flamboyant, and seeing Wei Hao is even more greedy.

She is proficient at looking men, and seeing Wei Hao's stature and temperament, she is definitely a top-notch licensed and well-funded cattle, horses and animals, and it must be fun to play with.

It's a pity that it's just for dinner, so it's boring.

But the money for the tea, the money for the table, the money for the private room... that's probably not less than a penny.

Unless it is given to sleep, then of course it will be free.

Wei Hao found a place to sit down, it was a bright corner facing the street, the tables and chairs were neat, and the top and bottom were clean.

After taking his seat, Wei Hao took out a silver ingot and pressed it on the table, then looked at the straight-eyed old bustard and asked, "Talk with me, add money."

"Oh! My darling, I am looking forward to a good person like you every day and night. Don't just talk, you can let me do anything. Seeing that the big exam is coming, these two days My concubine is the obedient dog that Hao Lang and he had..."

"It's your turn to make money."

Professional, very professional, Wei Hao appreciates it!
As a technical service practitioner with such a good professional attitude, Wei Hao has to admit that Xiayi's entertainment club, even if it is just one of the mediocre ones, is much better than the top restaurants in Wufeng County.

"Good man, what do you want to talk about?"

The silver ingot was stuffed into the corsage, and the bustard didn't care too much. The deep groove was exposed, lest Wei Hao couldn't see clearly, and she pulled the bellyband deliberately. She has a plump figure and a round body. There is style.

A woman in the world can have a little personality, even if she has characteristics.

"It doesn't matter whether it's romantic or political affairs, my good man, whatever you talk about is what you want, and I will listen to you."

No way, the silver ingots that Wei Hao gave were different, they were official imperial silver, and they were big pieces of ten taels, which were twisted together with scissors for normal expenses.

"Is there anyone still chatting about Chaotang Jianghu in this place?"

"Hi! My brother, you didn't come here much. If it was a few days ago, most of the scholars were talking about the court affairs here. The current situation and the court officials are like the emperor and the ministers standing in front of him." Not as good as them..."

Taking out a piece of silk and wiping the corners of her mouth, the bustard suddenly said, "Hao Lang, do you like white fish or white shrimp?"

"Talking while eating? Do you have any recommendations?"

"You are from Beiyang Mansion, so I naturally listened to you..."

"Then steamed white fish and boiled shrimp. If there is pickled cabbage and watercress soup, that would be good too. I don't know if there is watercress in this situation."

When others heard it, they thought it was shabby, and they were all trivial things.

But I don’t know that it’s not easy to eat white fish in Xiayi in this second month, white shrimp is even more difficult, and the third dish of pickled vegetable and bean paste soup sounds like it won’t cost a few big bucks, but it’s actually the best. Dear.

Because the pickled vegetables and watercress soup, the pickled vegetables are indeed potherb mustard, but the watercress is not beans like broad beans, but the gill meat of a snakehead.

Even in Beiyang Mansion, a small bowl of pickled cabbage and watercress soup will start with one or two, and then go to the market as you go.

Wei Hao's remarks about ordering dishes are first to show that he is indeed from Beiyang Mansion, and second is to see how much this "Tianxiang Pavilion" weighs.

Don't look at the old bustard's various flirtatious feelings, both inside and outside are all temptations.

In a place where people gather together, if you want to take advantage of more money, you can't get along without any knowledge.

Sure enough, the bustard, who was just playing for fun, now understands that the rough man in front of him is not a smuggler from other places, but also a shrewd person.

Immediately put away his underestimating thoughts, for a moment he couldn't figure out what this rough guy was doing for a living.

can not tell.

Weird.

This is also the first time I have encountered such a situation, and I can't see the origin of the other party at all.

"Hao Lang, just look at it, come to 'Tianxiang Pavilion', how can I not let you go back disappointed."

After saying that, the old bustard crossed his waist and twisted his hips, twisted and swayed to the cubicle and shouted, "Let's cook the pickled vegetable and watercress soup quickly. The man who came here is an authentic Beiyang mansion, so don't try to mess with broad beans... ..."

After yelling, she ordered a few more kabukis: "Cui Liu, Ru Yan, Xiao Xiang'er, come and play "Dian Crimson Lips" for this master... Don't stretch your waist and yawn, twelve Your silver ingots still can't stop your coquettish mouths? Give my old lady some energy!"

"Serve tea! Serve good tea! Soak the 'Jinglong tea' bought from Chaohu Lake earlier, don't use boiling water, keep it warm..."

"Light a burner of incense, what are you doing in a daze? I don't care about you eating, drinking, and sleeping. You don't need money for the rouge powder day and night? Let the old lady get busy!"

When the sound came, Wei Hao was stunned for a while. This old bustard is quite capable of taking care of things.

Not long after, the entire pavilion was buzzing and buzzing, and when the madam came back to sit with her, the tea was already on the table, and the hot tea soup was changed, and several large plates of dried fruit preserves were placed on the table.

In the corner, the girl holding the pipa and the bell has already started to play, and the one who sings is standing in the front. , and sang a song "Dian Crimson Lips".

Wei Hao didn't understand much, and he didn't like to hear it. He just squeezed walnuts with his fingers, like eating peanuts, and it was quite satisfying to eat.

The old bustard who was sitting with me was stunned for a moment, and the walnut hammer he had prepared became a decoration...

Click it.

After crushing a walnut, Wei Hao picked up the walnut meat and asked, "Boss, if I walk in the field of joy, which princes and grandchildren should I not offend? Can you give me some pointers?"

"Oh! Sir, you are asking the right person. This capital hides a dragon and crouching tiger, crouching tiger, hidden dragon, who is a god and who is a little ghost, and this concubine is Men Qing'er..."

As she said that, the old lady began to chatter, "If you want to say that this girl is the most arrogant in the quilt, she must be the seven kings and twelve princes. Those who come from these families are the most powerful. If you can recruit a ...I, this 'Tianxiang Pavilion', have no worries about food and drink for three years."

The implication is that the "seven kings and twelve princes" will not come.

"I know the seven kings, what did the twelve princes say?"

The so-called "seven kings" are the seven brothers of the former emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, each with his own fiefdom and treasures, and they are not the same as the unlucky Jiujiulang... at all.

Wei Hao's understanding of the "Seven Kings" is still very clear, but he doesn't know much about the "Twelve Dukes". He only knows that Li Huairou, the servant of the province, is the "Duke Zhao". , is the tide-player in the court.

There are not many other ministers who conferred dukes, usually a marquis.

Therefore, Li Huairou's status is indeed different.

The old bustard began to comment on the "Twelve Lords", these are the twelve great figures who were enshrined as the founder of the county. In addition to the current minister, there are also former ministers, as well as the former Zhongshu Sheng Zhongshuling and Shangshu Shengshangshuling , Minister of Internal Affairs, Minister of Internal Affairs...

The miscellaneous things add up, and they are all rich families concentrated in Jingwei and Heluo, and the fiefdoms are also quite rich, and they are by no means miscellaneous.

From the professional point of view of the bustard, which one is the richest, which one can take care of the business best, which one is the most powerful to fight against competitors... all have a clear understanding.

Wei Hao also found a lot of useful information from the old bustard.

For example, Li Huairou, Wei Hao planned to kill him in the capital. When he was in Beiyang Mansion, Li Huairou was extremely mysterious in Wei Hao's eyes, and he was a big boss hiding behind the scenes, and he needed various means to deal with him.

But in the eyes of the old bustard, Li Xianggong's hands and eyes are open to the sky, even if there is a housekeeper in the family, he can support a group of helpers in the southeast of Xiayi.

There were as many as 8000 to [-] coolies who followed the grain and unloaded goods. If they all came to "Tianxiang Pavilion" to prostitute once, half a tael of silver each time, that would be [-] taels or less.

In addition, the old bustard also said that Li Xianggong always travels in full ceremonial guards during the day. After all, he is the third division of Kaifu Yitong, with a detached status.

Even the bustard explained Li Xianggong's travel route clearly and logically, where to turn on Zhuque Street and where to stop on Chunming Street, they were all very familiar.

Wei Hao was satisfied and added money on the spot!
Word therapy is very effective!
Benedict.

Another ingot of silver was pressed on the table, and a smaller ingot was added at the same time, one tael or so, but it was used to send off the three singing girls.

So "Dian Jiang Lips" single cycle...

Anyway, I don't understand, it's the same as everything.

The boiled prawns were on the table, and Wei Hao asked while peeling the prawns: "I'm new here, and I wanted to go to Xicheng to see the 'Great Altar of Protecting the Nation', but I heard that there are more than one altar. Why? Which one should I go to see?" Authentic?"

"My good man, you are asking the right person. There is a door here, and there may not be a well-informed concubine elsewhere."

Hurry up and stuff the money into the ditch first. The bustard supported her fat chest with both hands, then smiled and wanted to lean over, but she saw Wei Hao pointing his fingers at the table: "Just talk, I don't want to sleep with you."

"..."

A little embarrassed, originally thinking that the "accompany" is always an expert, years of experience are good, but the concubine is interested, but Lang is ruthless.

But Lang is rich, and he seems to be ruthless, but he is also affectionate.

The old bustard pretended to smile shyly, then shook the silk silk and said, "Do you know how to cultivate the truth, Mr. Lang?"

"In my hometown, there are immortals who move clouds and spread rain. Xu Yisun from Beiyang Mansion is also the direct descendant of the 'Great Master of Protecting the Nation'."

"That's easy to say!"

The old bustard immediately said with a smile on his face, "This 'Altar of Protecting the Nation' is the authentic place where you have to sacrifice the 'Sacred Artifact of Sheji'. The rest that cannot be sacrificed are not authentic."

"And this said?"

"Isn't it!"

The old bustard suddenly looked excited, "The ministers from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple came to stay overnight, but they said a lot about this, and they all said that with the 'Sheji Artifact', they can recreate something, anyway, it is good for Daxia. In the future, all droughts, floods, pests, and insects will all be gone.”

"'Sheji Artifact'...sounds really powerful."

"That's natural. The lords of the Ministry of Rites can hang up the demon king and beat him. I beat my son as hard as I beat my son."

"So powerful?"

"That's what I said, how can I know the truth?"

Seeing that Wei Hao was willing to listen to this, the old bustard struck while the iron was hot, and continued: "Speaking of this 'Sacred Artifact of Sheji', except for the ministers of the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple who have mentioned it. The concubine remembered that the mansion of the 'Seven Kings' mansion Enshrined, we also chatted a few words."

"'Seven Kings' enshrined? Couldn't it be a sword fairy who comes and goes?"

"Oh, that's really the master who can kill people with flying swords. It's not easy, it's so powerful. But no matter how tight it is, it's not as tight as my old lady... I'm tight. My legs are crossed, and it doesn't take a moment to call him Exhausted..."

During the conversation, the old bustard flirted furiously with winking eyes, but Wei Hao didn't feel it at all, but pondered over the words, and then said: "Then the sword fairy still knows the 'Sheji Artifact'?"

"Didn't I say it earlier? I have to go to sacrifice the 'Sheji Artifact'. I heard from those priests that in the house of the 'Seven Kings', there are some treasures rewarded by the late emperor. What kind of tripod? They are nine big treasures cast by Emperor Taizu. one of the……"

As soon as these words came out, Wei Hao immediately regained his spirits, "Could it be that the 'Seven Kings' also want to refine the 'Saji Artifact'?"

"If there is a purpose, it will naturally be refined, which is beneficial to the country."

"makes sense……"

Wei Hao narrowed his eyes slightly, sucked the prawn meat, and suddenly got hesitant, ready to explore the mansion of the "Seven Kings".
