Need for madness and less scourge myth

Chapter 80 Yixiang Pavilion

When it was time for lunch, Liu Hongji and his two uncles hadn't come back yet.After lunch, Ma Wencai and Liu Anshuo left.And Zhu Yingtai needs to chat with Liu Zhengshi and his two aunts.

"Cousin, do you have time tonight! I'll take you to a good place!" After leaving the dining room and walking a few more steps, Liu Anshuo asked.

"Okay, no problem!" Marvin nodded.

"Then I'll see you after dinner!" Liu Anshuo said mysteriously.

"Okay!" Of course Ma Wencai didn't care, and just followed him to experience the prosperity of Chang'an City.

At this time, the big butler Liu Ping came over and bowed from a distance, "Master Wencai, the master is back, please go to the study to see him!"

"Ah! Grandpa is back!" Hearing these words, Liu Anshuo first yelled, then touched Ma Wencai's arm, and then left.

"Okay, please help Grandpa Ping lead the way!" Ma Wencai straightened his clothes first, and then said to Liu Ping.

The study room is not far from the main room, and under the leadership of Liu Ping, they arrived at the study room very quickly.The door there was open, and a tall, gray-haired man could be seen standing there from a distance.Wearing a brocade robe, his hair was tied casually with a piece of cloth.

"Meet my grandfather!"

Seeing Liu Hongji was there, Ma Wen hurried over to say hello.

"Get up!" As the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, Liu Jingji naturally wouldn't cry like Liu Zhengshi, so he opened his mouth to wake him up.

"Yes!"

After Ma Wencai responded, he stood up obediently.

"Wen Cai, let me ask you! What do you think about the future? Are you planning to be a civil servant like your father, or to join the army like me, or to learn from Yuan Tiangang? A noble and idle Taoist?"

Ma Wencai was suddenly taken aback by Liu Hongji's question.In the past, he also thought about this matter, and even made an agreement with Di Renjie. Now that he heard him ask this question, he quickly said, "Back to grandfather, my child is going to take the road of Taoism!"

"It's possible to walk the road of Taoism, but you must join the army!" Liu Hongji's voice sounded immediately, "I have made the most military achievements in the Tang Dynasty, and your uncle and uncle both served in the army. Now, your The eldest cousin is also in the army. As a member of the Liu family, you can go any way, but you must go to the army!"

"Yes!" Ma Wencai nodded hastily. With Fan Lihua's advice, he naturally wanted to go to the army.Then he asked again, "Grandfather, did my Tang Dynasty fight with the Western Turks?"

"Do you want to go to the front?" Liu Hongji asked with sharp eyes immediately.

"Exactly, my grandson once learned some art of war and tried it in the underworld. My Tang Dynasty has conquered the world and engulfed the heart of the universe. My son wants to go to the front line of the Western Turks! If you can make military achievements, It's also good to earn a life for my mother!"

"it is good!"

Liu Hongji clapped his hands, "As expected, it is the grandson of my Liu family. I will help you with this matter. You can stay in the mansion with peace of mind, and wait for the arrangement of the old man!"

"Yes!" Ma Wencai felt hot when he heard Liu Hongji say this.His heart fluttered, not only because he could serve in the army, but also because he might see that red figure.

After dinner, after waiting for another half an hour, Liu Anshuo came to the door.After the two tidied up, they left immediately.

The place they were going to was called Yixiangyuan, which was the most famous brothel in Chang'an City.When we got there, the building was already brightly lit, and we could see quite a few wealthy customers.

"Master Liu is here, please come inside!"

Seeing Liu Anshuo coming, the turtle slave in front of the door hastily greeted him.

"This is my cousin, Mr. Ma!" After Liu Anshuo said, he casually threw out two dimes of silver.

"So it's Mr. Ma, please come in quickly!" After rewarding him with money, and hearing Liu Anshuo's identity as Ma Wencai, the two turtle slaves bent so hard that they almost touched the ground, and their attitude became even more humble.

This is indeed a first-class brothel in Chang'an, with a fragrant breeze, and there are pavilions, rockeries and ponds in it, but it is a good place.

Liu Anshuo was obviously very familiar with this place, and led Ma Wencai into a hall with ease.

This hall is even more incomparably huge, with a huge platform standing in the middle.Standing on the surrounding seats are many young masters dressed like Liu Anshuo, with their fragrant clothes and temples intertwined with each other, making it a bustling scene.

"Cousin, today is a big day. The pavilion master, Bai Mudan, will also come out. Have you seen the high platform?" After Liu Anshuo and Ma Wencai sat down under the maid's service, they said, "There will be a little girl there in a while." The winner is Bai Mudan, the guest of honor tonight. Cousin, you are a well-known talent in the south of the Yangtze River, you can't lose face for a while!"

"Good! Good!"

Marvin smiled and nodded.He has no interest in being a guest in the curtain, he just wants to come and see the playthings here.

Not long after, a few slaves came over carrying a big pot, set up a shelf on the high platform, and brought firewood and other things.Pour clear oil into that cauldron.Then four Taoist priests in Tsing Yi appeared, standing at the four corners of the platform.One of the Taoist priests rubbed his hands, and a small flame appeared on his fingertips.With a flick of the finger, a small flame burst out from the finger, turned into a vivid bird, and flew to the woodpile.Immediately lit the firewood, and after a while, green smoke was already rising from the pot.

"What? Do you want to cook for everyone here?" Liu Anshuo laughed.

Ma Wencai didn't understand, just looked there with a smile.But saw a beautiful woman stepping up to the stage gracefully, took out a money bag, and poured all the copper coins inside into the pot.Then Cai Lang said, "Today's test question is to withdraw money from the frying pan. There are a hundred copper coins in total here. There is a limit of one hour, and the one who withdraws the most money can enter the Peony Pavilion tonight! If two people withdraw money at the same speed, the one with the shortest time will be selected To win."

After hearing the beauty's words, almost everyone was shocked.That white peony is indeed beautiful, but there is no need to go all out for her!

Liu Anshuo also looked at Ma Wencai helplessly, "Cousin, it seems that you are not going to succeed!"

"Not necessarily!" Ma Wencai laughed, and then explained, "This method is extremely difficult for normal people. But for those who possess Taoism, it is as easy as palm of the hand. For those who are skilled in martial arts, there is no problem." .Didn't you notice that the rule doesn't say that you have to withdraw money with your hands? If you use something to fish out those copper coins, you can!

"You're still smart, cousin!" Liu Anshuo's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he also realized the meaning behind it.
