Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 40 One post, ten taels of silver
When the news reached the East Palace, the prince was still brooding over the "omission" of the first Fengchenju. With a pale face, he pushed away the girls in his arms whose skirts were slightly open and could reveal a trace of curves, and spit out in a "bah" Grape skin in his mouth, "What kind of thing is Fengchenju?! After all the dignitaries and dignitaries in Beijing have been invited, do you feel that you can't climb up to the crown prince or think that the crown prince is not qualified enough?"

The girls were trembling, not daring to say a word—too much to say was so wrong.

His Highness the Crown Prince heaved his chest angrily, looking at the girls on the ground, he felt unsightly, grabbed the fruit in his hand and threw it directly, "Get lost!"

The girls kowtowed and all backed away, only the prince's eyes were deep, his fingertips gripping the handrail until they turned white, and the staff behind him comforted softly, "You don't need to get angry...it's just an ordinary wine shop, where traffickers go. , it’s hard to be elegant. Presumably that steward also has self-knowledge..."

Everyone knows this is just an excuse.

But it was still a step, Prince Li Yuqi still calmed down, "Those things that have no eyesight...how about the Yang family?"

"Since Yang Sima failed to find you that night, he asked Mr. Yang to go to Fengchenju to apologize early the next morning, but Fengchenju didn't let Mr. Yang in...but Fengchenju didn't make a fuss about it afterwards. It's trivial, it's trivial, after all, it's not worth offending the Yang family for a dancing girl..."

"Where's the Ye family?"

"The Ye family...there was no response from the beginning to the end..."

Li Yuqi seemed a little dissatisfied, frowned and said in a low voice, "I heard that this daughter of the Ye family is a hot-tempered person, as expected, it is rumored that this thing can't be done... Fengchenju... I'm still counting on Fengchenju to mess up this marriage, Why is it so powerless..."

The staff shook his head, "After all, it's just a wine shop..."

"How does Ben Gong feel... They haven't realized that it's just a wine shop... Fengchenju, Ben Gong will meet."

The aides understood, and went back to buy invitations.Not long after, I came back to report that the posts had been sold out.

The prince's face darkened again, "Go and ask! Whoever owns it, buy it, and buy it at any price! I want to see it today. What kind of beauty is this? It's worth ten taels of silver. !"

……

at the same time.

Song Yuanqing fell silent as he looked at the letterhead signed "Ji Wuyan" sent by his subordinates, the invitation that had been looted by the rich and powerful in Yanjing City...

……

The moon hangs high, and the silver light shines on the octagonal attic of Fengchenju. This three-storey small building, which is full of guests on weekdays, was completely surrounded early today. The well-dressed girls stood there smiling sweetly. At the door, we inspected the invitation cards sealed with black background and gold in the hands of the guests one by one.

One invitation card, ten taels of silver...starts.

Ordinary people can only sigh and sigh, feeling that the life of the rich is so comfortable, and the money of the rich is so easy to earn.

As for Fengchen Juli, there were already no empty seats.

The private rooms on the second floor were naturally filled with dignitaries, but the private rooms on the first floor were not enough, and some guests who usually held their own identities didn't care. They all stood, holding wine glasses or teacups, chatting in twos and threes, waiting for the opening.

Summer nights are the most fickle, and the sky was still full of moon and stars just now, and it didn't happen when it started to rain.Some damp came in with the wind through the open window. The censor Shen Dafu who rushed over early touched his carefully cared for gray beard and shook his head, "Silk, bamboo, mist and rain are very suitable... very suitable. I just don't know , when will this salt-free girl come out?"

As we all know, Shen Da is over half a hundred years old, has read a lot of poetry and books, and is a beautiful woman. Most of his works in his life are about beauties.Moreover, the beauties described by Mr. Shen involve all walks of life and age groups. There are women who wash yarn by the river, pipa players in teaching workshops, girls as young as three or five years old, and old women as high as seventy or eighty. Sing a few lines to praise the beauty of this beauty.

It is not surprising that Mr. Shen appeared here, and even began to look forward to Mr. Shen's new work.

Immediately, someone followed and urged, "Yes, yes! We have been here for less than half an hour. Is this Wuyan girl still dressing up?"

"Aunt Chaoyun, hurry up and remind me!"

"I've drank several cups of this tea. Fengchenju's tea is good, but I don't dare to drink too much right now, for fear of going to the toilet."

"That's reasonable. If you miss the opening, half of the ten taels of snowflake silver will be wasted...I heard that that one...but it cost dozens of taels..."

"Who?"

While speaking, the candles in the lobby were instantly extinguished, and it was completely dark.

That's the end of the topic, everyone looked forward to the stage in unison.

Yinhui came in from the window and landed on the high platform. In the whole three-storey building, only this place was indistinct and captured the light of heaven and earth.

There was a woman sitting there with her head lowered quietly, unable to see her face clearly, only a graceful silhouette.

The piano sound has started.

Like the gurgling water of a small stream, like the howling wind on the top of a mountain, the contradictions are mixed.The style is completely different from that of the Bai family's beating, a little lingering and a little melancholy, like nostalgia, like expectation, and I can feel such a breath stuck in my throat, unable to go up or down.

Feeling a little sad for no reason.

Everyone is silent...

In the private room upstairs, Lu Jiangjiang and Bai Xing are also there.

He didn't understand the sound of the piano, and Ji Wuyan's rumored "Qingshi" appearance couldn't be seen at all, so he was a bit dull at the moment, just sitting on the window edge drinking, took a sip, and murmured, "Feng Chen Ju's wine...is indeed a rare fine wine...but it's a bit more expensive..."

As he said that, he didn't know what he thought of, and he grinned with a canine tooth, "I heard that the aide of His Royal Highness...what is it called? Oh, it doesn't matter, it is the aide of the prince. It cost 60 taels of silver to get it yesterday. Seeing that post, it is really rich and powerful."

Bai Xing was a little surprised, "The prince is here too?"

"Shall we go over and see Li?"

"Don't go."

The young master of the Bai family didn't like this set of red tape the most. He tapped his little finger on the table, casually raised his eyelids, and snorted arrogantly, like a reserved and delicate little princess, "Don't you know that this young master is with him? Don’t deal with it? Heh, I’m going to go on your own. Young master, I’ve heard that when Ji Wuyan was on stage for the first time, he invited all the dignitaries in Yanjing, and only exposed his east palace. I’m probably holding my breath, you This time has passed, just to vent his anger on him."

Hearing this, Lu Jiangjiang, who was wearing a dark purple robe, put his feet back on the window sill again.

Bai Xing continued to tap on the table, unhurriedly, in a great mood, "Speaking of which, if you don't invite him, Li Yuqi, it's a good job! This dusty place...you need to cover yourself up from now on!"

The prince is the son of a noble concubine, and belongs to the lineage of Zuo Xiang.But the queen is Bai Xing's aunt, and it is well known that the hatchback is incompatible.

Bai Xing, who was not with Ning Xiuyuan, had a bit more arrogance in his blood.
