The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 500 Son of Heaven Vs Genius ([-]rd update!)

"So it's Young Master Zhu."

The old bustard smiled like a flower, with two fingers in the shape of Kasyapa holding flowers, staring at Zhu Houzhao with a smile, as if looking at a piece of fat.

"Young Master Zhu doesn't know something. The rules in our pavilion are different from other places. It doesn't mean that those who have more money can choose girls first."

Hearing what the old bustard said, Zhu Houzhao sneered in his heart.

There is a saying that sisters love beauty, and bustards love money.

If the red aunt in this building still has requirements for the talent and appearance of the guests who enter the curtain, the old bustard only recognizes money.

As long as you have enough money, you will definitely be able to rank in the front.

What's more, Zhu Houzhao has no doubts about his appearance and talent.

But he still wanted to see what the old bustard had to say, so he deliberately asked: "Oh? Then I don't know what the rules are when we go back to Yunge?"

"The young master is really temperamental, and the servants like it."

The old bustard took a step forward, looked at him secretly and said, "If it wasn't for the fact that my family is getting old, I would like to serve the young master for one night."

Uh.
Even though Zhu Houzhao had experienced many battles, he was also disgusted by the old bustard's sudden outburst.

"That's unnecessary."

Zhu Houzhao was afraid that the bustard really had his idea, so he quickly refused: "Since I come to your place, I naturally want the most popular girl to serve me."

The old bustard twisted the handkerchief to cover her mouth and said with a smile: "Look at Mr. Zhu's nervousness, I just played a joke with you. Even if you really want it, my family still refuses."

After speaking, Youyou cast a wink at Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao suppressed his nausea, and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, don't hang on to my son's appetite."

"Actually, the rules in our pavilion are also very simple, that is to 'reveal the list and be admitted'."

The old bustard said calmly.

Unveiling the list?

Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao was completely dumbfounded. Isn't this the process of the imperial examination?Why did the brothel Chu Guan also set up this trick?
Seeing that Zhu Houzhao was confused, the procuress explained: "Generally speaking, the girls in our pavilion are fought over by several people. The sons and gentlemen will hang the red paper with their names on the girl's boudoir if they give enough money. Whichever paper the girl uncovers, which son will be able to kiss the beautiful woman Fangze."

Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao was dumbfounded.Can you still come this way?

If you think about it carefully, this rule is not completely unreasonable.

After all, those who can write their names on the red paper are those who have paid enough money.Although there may be differences in the specific silver coins, the difference will not be too much in most numbers.

Naturally, the old bustard would not say much about this.It has a mutually beneficial and symbiotic relationship with the popular oiran.

To be precise, the bustard provides the oiran and the red girl with opportunities to become famous, and the oiran and the red girl serve as cash cows to make money for the old bustard.

Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, the madam is not willing to offend them.After all, it is extremely difficult to cultivate a red aunt, and it is necessary to invite famous teachers to teach her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since childhood.If you meet someone with good talent, you will be able to understand it. If you meet a boring gourd, then the money will be wasted.

And the red girls will not offend the bustards, they are very expensive, and they can save a lot of money just by picking up customers.When the old age fades in the future, this money can be used to redeem the body and support the rest of his life.

Therefore, the bustard handed over the power of picking up guests to the red girl herself, which was a disguised gesture of favor.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the princes nominated on the red paper all offer similar prices.

Zhu Houzhao sneered in his heart, and went around in a circle. Isn't it still asking for money to be admitted to the exam?

"In that case, please write your name on the red paper for me."

Now that he's here, Zhengde can't come back disappointed, no matter what the method of Huiyun Pavilion is, he will play it to the end!

"Young Master Zhu is straightforward. If you want to write your name on the red paper, you need to pay a sum of money. Different girls need to pay different money. I wonder which girl Young Master Zhu has taken a fancy to?"

"Nature is the reddest."

"Let's go back to Yunge and the most popular one is girl Lingbo. But it's not easy for girl Lingbo to get on the red list."

The bustard made a gesture on purpose.

Sure enough, Zhengde was tricked, and waved his big hand and said, "How much does it cost to write your name?"

"50 taels."

hiss!
Zhengde took a deep breath.

Although he is not in charge of the family and does not know the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt, he has a general understanding of the consumption level here because he has visited brothels more times.

Although fifty pennies cannot be said to be a lot of money, it is definitely a lot.

It would be fine if it cost fifty pennies to sleep with Aunt Hong for one night.But now, after spending fifty pennies, he could only write his name on red paper.

In the end, whether you can spend the spring evening with the beauty depends entirely on the beauty's face.

The most important thing is that there is only one person who can be admitted, and the others just accompany the prince to study, so all the money is in vain!
This is really a bit of a bully!

Anyway, Zhu Houzhao is also a veteran in the flowers and a frequent visitor in Fengyuechang. Faced with such an unreasonable request from the old bustard, he said angrily: "Isn't this a bit too much?"

Seeing that Zhu Houzhao didn't want to give the money, the madam's attitude suddenly changed drastically.

"Why, Mr. Zhu is worried about money? Then try another one. This is the rule when we go back to Yunge, it is unlikely to be changed just for Mr. Zhu."

Although she said this tactfully, she already had the intention of chasing away customers.

With Zhu Houzhao's violent temper, he really wanted to go up and slap the old bustard twice.

But now he was very annoyed and laughed back: "Isn't it just 50 taels of silver, I gave it to you."

After speaking, he winked at Zhang Yong beside him.

Zhang Yong had a bitter expression on his face, and he took out 50 taels of silver from the bag with great pain and handed it to the old bustard.

It is unlikely that the emperor will show it publicly when he comes out to visit brothels, so naturally he cannot withdraw money from the palace.In fact, the money was paid out of Zhang Yong's own pocket.

The more generous Zhu Houzhao's shots, the more blood Zhang Yong needs to bleed.It's no wonder that Zhang Yong has an expression of grief and indignation.

The old bustard accepted the money, and smiled again: "Just tell me, the young master is not an ordinary person at first glance. The slave family is very accurate in judging people, and the slave family thinks that the young master must be admitted to the imperial examination tonight."

Zhu Houzhao: "."

The old bustard took a piece of red paper, wrote the word Zhu Shou on it stroke by stroke, then folded it together with the rest of a dozen pieces of red paper and handed it to a servant girl, asking her to send it upstairs to Miss Lingbo. In the boudoir.

The maid took the order and went away, and Zhu Houzhao waited anxiously while drinking tea.

After a cup of tea, the servant girl came down from upstairs, leaving only a piece of red paper in her hand.

The old bustard took the red paper and glanced at it, with a slightly embarrassed expression on his face.

"Why is it this guy again?" Although she was upset, Miss Lingbo had already made her choice, and the bustard had no choice but to announce: "This time, Mr. Tang Yin, Mr. Tang, Wu County, Suzhou Prefecture, is the one who has been admitted to the imperial examination."
