21. Anecdote of Yingchun Tower
Although it was late at night, it was still very lively in Yingchun Tower.
There is a high platform made of red cloth in the middle of the building. On the platform is a row of girls, with seven people, all holding a ball of fans in their hands covering their faces, and there are different pictures of sexy dancers on it.
Then a young and fair-skinned man was explaining to everyone in the audience. Du Buwang and Zhu Er were also among the crowd below, and the two were considering how to find Feng Niang.
The fair man said:
"Young masters, young masters, have you heard me speak?"
Many people immediately echoed:
"Heard".
The fair-skinned man pointed to a row of girls on the stage and said:
"tonight,"
Paused for a while and continued:
"But we are proclaiming a sale meeting in Yingchun Tower. Whoever bids the highest price can of course spend seven days with the girls upstairs. I wonder if you are happy."
The downstairs suddenly became boiling, and many people began to say:
"Is it true in seven days?"
The fair-skinned man replied:
"Of course, during these seven days, we provide free food and accommodation. You can enjoy the joy of fish and water with our girls here."
Of course, there were some people from the world and nobles in the audience, and some people dressed in monks and Taoists.
The fair-skinned man waited for the noise from the audience to be a little less, and then said:
"From now everyone can bid, the higher the price will be rewarded."
Then a few strong men walked out of the audience, carried a long table, and waited for everyone to get out of the way, and placed the long table at the closest place below the audience.
I saw seven signs standing on the table with the names of seven people written on it, which just corresponds to the seven people upstairs. There is a chopping board in front of each sign, which should be used to place coins.
At this time, the fair-skinned man began to shout:
"For the first flower moon, please report your own name."
Immediately, a man with a pimple on his face came to the incense table and put a ingot of silver in front of the incense table, and then said:
"I want Huayue, Li Heihu."
At this time, another young man dressed up and walked over and put two ingots of silver and said:
"I want it, I want it, my name is Murong Jie."
Li Heihu was immediately angry when he saw this and said:
"Why do you snatch me?"
After saying that, he went up and slapped Murong Jie.
A few strong men on the side came over immediately and beat Li Heihu up. Although Li Heihu had two blows, the strong man was quite skilled. Li Heihu was beaten down in a few blows and carried out of the door.
At this time, the fair man said to everyone:
"We are not a place to cause trouble, please be conscious of it," said.
After saying that, he apologized to Murong Jie and continued. Everyone was stuck in the fight just now, so naturally no one was bidding Hua Yue.
The fair-skinned man announced:
"Huayue belongs to Mr. Murong Jie."
Murong Jie was naturally very happy, so he went upstairs to take the flower moon fan and found that it was really pretty and extraordinary, as if he had won the grand prize. He was very happy and pulled Hua Yue upstairs.
Immediately afterwards, the fair man began to announce the second one. At this time, more people started bidding, and the second one was a middle-aged monk who actually took out two hundred taels of silver. It seemed that the audience was used to it.
Du Buwang secretly asked the scholar dressed in white clothes and said:
"Why are monks so rich?"
The scholar said:
"Don't you know there is a saying? For example, the richest people today are monks and Taoists. Don't look at their shabby clothes."
Then he continued:
"For example, today, the temples are in full swing. Many monks and Taoists use this to cling to the great officials and nobles, cheating a lot of money from sesame oil, and eating, drinking, and having fun everywhere in private. Even the elders can take the lead. Who can control the person's clothes just now must be an elder in the temple. The Taoists dare not blatantly because they are in Wudang Mountain nearby."
Then he pointed at the young Taoist priests behind him and said:
"You see, Taoist priests also have sneaky things, but they just look around."
Du Buwang turned his head and sighed, saying to Zhu Er:
"I only realize now that the world is cold and cold."
Zhu Er replied:
"I don't see much of this kind of thing anymore. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely punish these lewd monks who are not doing their jobs, eating, drinking and having fun."
At this time, the seventh girl on the stage was already on the stage to start bidding. The audience naturally took out all the silver taels to bid. After a while, the price was as high as 1,000 taels. He was dressed as a middle-aged rich businessman, no wonder he was so rich.
He went straight up the stairs and took away the woman's fan covering her face. When he saw that it was Liu Shuzhen.
Du Buwuwang and Zhu Er were stunned in the audience.
Du Buwang asked Zhu Er:
"Aren't Liu Shuzhen and Li Da together with you?"
Zhu Er replied:
"Yes, when we left a few days ago, he was not awake yet, and Li Da was still in pain, so I paid for them a few days of room and threw some travel expenses, and asked the store to take care of them. Unexpectedly, he arrived here so soon and became the girl here."
It was also incredible in the moment.
At this time, Li Shuzhen had been taken upstairs by a middle-aged wealthy businessman, and then, the madam who had been behind came to the stage and said to everyone:
"Don't be discouraged if you don't get the girl in our store. We have a new top-notch girl here. If you offer the starting price, you will be sold to you today."
After saying that, a maid walked out with a slim figure, straight breasts, wearing a long red dress and a headscarf covering her face.
Du Buwang and Zhu Eryi felt very familiar with each other. They looked at each other and continued to look at the stage.
At this time, the people in the audience saw the woman's figure so attractive, especially the two tall mountains on her chest, a man dressed in yellow clothes and actually drooled. Everyone was thinking, if this person was paired with the beautiful Lotus, the world would be unique.
At this time, the young man in yellow dress who was drooling beside him immediately pulled the person dressed up by the book boy and said:
"I'm going to make a reservation for this girl, you guys will bid first."
At this time, people around began to bid first, and in a short while, they actually sold as much as 3,000 taels.
The young man in yellow immediately called five thousand taels, then picked up a seal and put it on the incense table. When the madam picked up the seal, she saw that it actually said "The Seal of Zhengde's Imperial Use" on it.
At this time, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the audience. The madam knew a few words, so she deliberately picked up the seal and said to the man in yellow:
"Can you be the emperor like this? You even imitate the emperor as a seal. It's really a rebellious thing. I'll let you know the consequences of pretending to be the emperor."
After saying that, he wanted to call the guard man on the side to come over and catch the man in yellow.
The man in yellow dress quickly said:
"A guard next to His Majesty the Emperor Xia Nai. This seal was stolen from me. I hope you can let me go."
After the man in yellow dress said that, he took out two golden dragons from his arms and said to the madam:
"I just wanted to get these two golden dragons, but I didn't want to get the wrong thing. I don't know if these two golden dragons are enough to buy this girl."
The madam immediately took the golden dragon in the man in yellow dress, looked carefully, bit her teeth twice, and said to the man in yellow dress:
"These two golden dragons are real gold, but can this be worth 5,000 taels?"
The man in yellow dress said:
"Absolute value, you can tell if you take it to the pawnshop for a try."
The madam said:
"Okay, just think you're worth it."
Then he asked if there was anyone else in the audience who could pay a higher price. At this time, there was a burst of laughter from the audience. At this time, when the man took out the golden dragon, he was talking about how the man stole the golden dragon.
Seeing that no one was talking, the madam asked the man in yellow that his name was Zhu Shou, and announced:
"Miss Huaying officially belongs to Mr. Zhu Shou today."
It turned out that the madam had named Feng Niang Huaying privately.
At this time, Zhu Er's expression was different from the audience, as if he was thinking about something.
Du Buwang said to Zhu Er:
"I heard that there was a mighty general in the court, Zhu Shou, who made many military achievements and was promoted quickly, and he was ranked above Jiang Bin. I wonder if he was this young master Zhu Shou."
Zhu Er replied:
"Actually, I don't know, nor have I seen General Zhu Shou's appearance. It would be surprising if he was really this person."
Then he continued:
"We'll secretly follow upstairs later."
At this time, the man in yellow dress was about to lift Feng Niang's veil, but was blocked by Feng Niang, so he thought to pull Feng Niang upstairs and talk.
