Yipin Tang

Chapter 129 Opportunity
Hearing the sudden knock on the door, the people in the room looked at each other suspiciously.

Neither Mother Feng nor the sisters of Yicuilou came to look for Ningxiang without knocking on the door, but called outside directly.

"Isn't it the prince who my sister talks about every day?"

Qing'er's teasing voice was obviously joking, but Ning Xiang's heart moved.

The knock on the door rang three more times, and Xiaocui, who had been waiting by the side, was about to open the door. Qing'er had already smiled coquettishly and got up and walked towards the door, saying, "It must be some new sister who has something to do with my sister." .”

Ningxiang is now the idol of all the brothel girls in Chang'an City, she is both talented and beautiful, she doesn't need to serve customers with her body, and she doesn't need to try to curry favor, just sing one or two songs a day or perform a stage play, and many people will spend a lot of money on her, she The tunes she sang are popular in the streets and alleys of Chang'an, and every time a new song comes out, other women will immediately rush to learn it.

The new sisters from Yicui Building often come to ask Ningxiang for advice, most of them want to learn new songs, but Ningxiang never refuses these sisters who want to learn new songs.

Qing'er opened the door with a smile, and suddenly widened her eyes and let out an exclamation.

"Prince Wang!"

Xiao Bei giggled when he heard Qing'er's exclamation: "Sister Qing'er, don't lie, how could you be a prince."

Qing'er usually likes to make jokes like this, Xiao Bei thought Qing'er was teasing them again.

"Why, Xiaobei doesn't want me to come?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Ningxiang, Xiaoyun and Xiaobei were all taken aback, and turned to look at the door in surprise.

Qing'er shrugged and said with a smile: "This time it's not me talking nonsense, it's really Prince Wang."

As soon as he sat down, Xiaobei said excitedly: "Where has Wang Gongzi been these days? It's been a long time since I came to see us, and I didn't see you when I went to the fairy tower." The appearance of pouting on purpose is really cute.

Wang Xiang laughed: "It's not that I don't come to see you, I went to Gaochang a few days ago by His Majesty's order."

Now that the matter has been settled, there is no need to hide anything. After hearing Wang Xiang say that he went to Gaochang, Xiaobei and Qing'er all asked curiously.

Only Ning Xiang pursed her lips and looked at Wang Xiang with a smile in her eyes.

"Is Gaochang fun?"

"Is the wine there better than the fruit wine from Dengxianlou?"

"I heard there was a war there, is it true?"

……

He had all kinds of questions, and Wang Xiang didn't have time to answer them all, so he could only look at Ningxiang with a look of asking for help.

"Okay, you have so many questions when Wang Gongzi came here, Xiaocui, pour a cup of tea for Wang Gongzi."

Qing'er teased and said: "Sister Ningxiang is the most considerate of the prince, she is afraid that the prince will be tired of our problems."

Seeing Xiao Cui obediently pouring tea for him, Wang Xiang couldn't help but think of the arrogant little maid at the Jinguang Lake Poetry Fair that day, and couldn't help joking: "I haven't seen Xiao Cui in half a year, but she is much more obedient."

After hearing Wang Xiang's words, Xiaocui's face turned red, she put down the teapot, turned her head and pouted softly, Wang Xiang looked at the half cup of tea in front of her and smiled awkwardly, this little girl still hasn't changed...

Influenced by Wang Xiang, the tea that Ningxiang and the others drink now is not the kind of tea soup they used to drink, but ordinary clear tea. This kind of clear tea will feel a bit bitter at first, but gradually they will like this light and elegant tea. Tea fragrance.

"Smallpox appeared in Chang'an and everyone hid at home and refused to go out. Mr. Wang must have something to do when he came to our Yicui Building today?"

Wang Xiang just took a sip of tea and sighed secretly when he heard Ningxiang's words, she really is a woman with exquisite thoughts.Putting down the teacup, he said seriously: "There is indeed something."

Xiaoqing deliberately put on a resentful expression and said, "I also thought that the prince came here to see us."

"I came here this time just for your business."

"For our business?"

Seeing everyone's puzzled faces, Wang Xiang continued: "Before I went to Gaochang, I told Mother Feng about helping you redeem your lives, and she didn't agree."

"Could it be that Feng's mother has agreed now?" The naive Xiaobei asked with wide-eyed surprise.

Wang Xiang shook his head: "At the beginning she was not willing to let you redeem yourselves, and with your current reputation, she would certainly not agree."

The surprise on Xiaobei's face suddenly turned into disappointment, and the look in his eyes dimmed.

Ningxiang, Xiaoyun and Qing'er didn't speak, but looked at Wang Xiang expectantly and nervously, they knew that Wang Xiang would definitely not talk about this for no reason.

Wang Xiang lowered his voice and whispered: "Under normal circumstances, Mother Feng would not let you leave Yicui Tower, but now there is a chance."

"What chance?" The four of them spoke at the same time this time.

Wang Xiang smiled mysteriously, "Smallpox!"

"Smallpox?" The four were puzzled, what does smallpox have to do with their redemption?
Ningxiang's eyes flickered as if she had guessed something, but she couldn't believe it.

"The reason why Mother Feng doesn't want you to leave Yicuilou is because you can help Yicuilou make money, but if you suffer from smallpox..."

"Young Master Wang, isn't he joking?" Qing'er looked at Wang Xiang with a terrified expression. At this moment, everyone could hear Wang Xiang's plan.

The others also looked in disbelief, what's the use of leaving Yicui Tower if they have smallpox.

Xiao Bei waved his hands in panic and said, "I, I don't want smallpox!"

Although she didn't leave the Yicui Building in the past few days, she still saw through the window those smallpox patients who were escorted out of the city by the sergeant, and she couldn't help trembling when she thought of their plight.

Obviously, Wang Xiang had expected their reaction long ago, smiled and said, "It's not that you want to suffer from smallpox, but to let Mama Feng think that you have smallpox."

Qing'er patted her chest and let out a sigh of relief, she really thought Wang Xiang was crazy just now.

"How can we make Mama Feng think that we have smallpox?" Ning Xiang frowned. She didn't think Mama Feng was so easy to fool. With Mama Feng's experience, she had never seen anything before, and ordinary feigning illness would definitely not be able to hide it. she.

Wang Xiang whispered about the cowpox.

"Vaccinia?"

The symptoms are the same as smallpox but it will not kill people, and people who have suffered from cowpox will not be infected by smallpox. No matter how you hear it, it is incredible.He was even more surprised when Wang Xiang said that both he and Sun Simiao had been inoculated with cowpox and were going to Xishui Village to help the people there.

"Could it be that the reason why the sergeants went to the people's homes to pull cows these days is for cowpox?"

Ningxiang remembered the strange things that happened in Chang'an City.

Wang Xiang nodded: "I also suddenly thought of this method to help you redeem your body, so I came here to tell you. I wouldn't tell you if I wasn't absolutely sure."

"Can we think about it?" Ning Xiang was a little embarrassed. After all, she said that she didn't trust Wang Xiang, but smallpox was really terrible. Even if she believed in Wang Xiang, Qing Er, Xiao Yun and Xiao Bei would probably need it Think about it.

Wang Xiang smiled understandingly and said, "It's okay, but it's best to do it as soon as possible. Once His Majesty decides to announce the cowpox, this method can't be hidden from Mother Feng."

Ask Xiaocui to fetch a pen and paper, and Wang Xiang wrote a letter to Ningxiang: "If you decide, take this letter to Dengxianlou to find Degui, and he will arrange everything then."

Before leaving, Wang Xiang said again: "Only by being vaccinated can the danger of being infected by smallpox be completely avoided. In the future, all people in the Tang Dynasty will be vaccinated. We are just a step ahead."
