Chapter 94:
When everyone heard this voice, they were in an uproar and looked upstairs.
Today someone can bid 5,000 taels, which is an unprecedented amount of money. Someone can really add more, and one more is one thousand taels?
.
The less invisible, the more mysterious and unattainable the person appears.
Everyone started talking.
At this moment, the old lady on the stage exclaimed excitedly: "It's Young Master Yan! Young Master Yan bid six thousand taels, can a guest officer want to add more?"
Everyone found that the prostitute's voice and attitude were different.
Although she was smiling just now, her face was already flattering, she took two steps forward and looked upstairs.
At a glance, the person sitting upstairs is a big man.
Xu Cong'an watched for a long time, but couldn't see who was sitting upstairs. At this moment, he heard the two people beside him whispering.
"Young Master Yan? Could it be the one who does the porcelain business in the city?"
"Isn't that so! Besides him, in Jinling City, who else has such a great hand?"
The man next to him said yes.
"That's natural. I heard that Young Master Yan can do such a big business because he has contacts with the capital officials in Chang'an! If you can know the adults in Chang'an, that's not what you want How much money, how much money?"
The other person nodded vigorously.
Hearing this, Xu Cong'an's head burst into an evil fire.
Who is he sitting on top of, it turns out to be a businessman who sells porcelain in a kiln? How dare a lowly merchant in the district dare to rob people with him?
What do you mean by "Knowing Chang'an adults"? Of the broken officials in Chang'an City, who can be as big as his grandfather? Not to mention that Young Master Yan upstairs, if he really went to Chang'an, let alone him, even the backer behind him would kneel down and kowtow to himself.
Hearing this, Xu Cong'an was furious, and he only thought that he couldn't let this shabby merchant have the upper hand, and he couldn't control how much money he had in his pocket.
I didn't even notice that the two men who seemed to be chatting next to him saw his reaction and exchanged glances calmly.
"Six thousand two hundred taels!" Xu Cong'an raised a sign.
There was another uproar in the building. Looking at this situation, the two upstairs and downstairs are going to discuss the level again.
The old bustard hurriedly said: "Xu Gongzi bid six thousand two hundred..."
"Seven thousand." Before she could finish speaking, the sign upstairs lit up again.
This... this master has such a big hand?
And Jun Huailang upstairs also looked at Xue Yan in surprise.
Seeing Xue Yan staring at the audience, there was a lazy smile in her amber eyes, as if she was playing with a dying prey.
Jun Huailang naturally knew that Xue Yan would not go to really and Xu Cong'an to **** the woman, but when Xue Yan raised his placard to bid, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
A little blocked and a little irritable.
He has always been like a still water, and this kind of emotion is especially hard to see in him.
At this time, everyone's eyes fell on Xu Cong'an calmly.
Xu Cong'an came this time to bring Yujing home. In Jinling City, he has always been delicious and fun, and he knows everything. He was there when Yujing appeared for the first time.
Such a beauty, as long as he is safe, how can it be cheaper for others?
Therefore, he added two hundred taels each time, which was actually two thousand two thousand.
In his view, this is not a small amount, but the man upstairs seems to treat money as an object at all. Integer.
"...7,200 taels!" Xu Cong'an raised the placard again, his voice trembling.
"Eight thousand." His voice fell, and the person upstairs had already raised his placard.
Xu Cong'an heard the discussions of the people beside her again.
"...As expected of Mr. Yan!"
"Yes, it's a worthwhile trip to come here today and see the scene of Young Master Yan bidding!"
first one.
Master Xu can endure the first time, but not the second time.
"...Nine thousand taels!" Not to be outdone, he gritted his teeth and raised his placard.
If he said that just now, he was still bidding for the Yujing **** the stage, but now, it is all to overpower the person upstairs.
"Ten thousand." Mr. Yan upstairs raised his placard again.
Xu Cong'an gritted her teeth.
"Twelve thousand taels!" He held up his card.
The only thing in his mind now is how to suppress the merchant and let others praise him and turn it on himself.
Because he is the grandson of the Prime Minister of the Right, and the porcelain seller upstairs is just a businessman who has made some stinky money with the Beijing official.
Why is he showing off in front of him?
But I don't know that in the eyes of everyone around me, my eyes are already red, and I look a bit crazy.
This time, there was an inaudible low laugh from upstairs.
"Young Master Yan" did not bid any more.
The prostitute repeated three times in front of the stage, and finally dropped the hammer, saying that it was the first night of Yujing girl, and delivered it to Xu Gongzi at a price of 12,000 taels.
—
Everyone dispersed, and the bedroom on the roof of Qingyuefang was quiet.
The old bustard sat at the table, slowly swinging the fan in his hand, and looked at Xu Cong'an in front of him with a half-smile.
"Young Master Xu, you still need 9,300 taels of silver from the slave family." She said. "You called the price yourself, and you can't go back now."
In front of her was a pile of silver bills, one hundred and one thousand seven hundred taels of silver.
This is the money that Guo Rongwen gave him, and he brought him, but it is still not enough.
If it were placed in Chang'an, it would cost only 9,000 taels of silver, which was nothing to him at all. But he didn't expect that he would be planted on this amount of money today.
He was quite embarrassed and did not speak for a long time.
The old man stared at him, and after a while, he laughed softly.
Holding the fan in one hand, she counted 12,000 taels from the pile of silver notes, and the remaining pile, she gently pushed forward with the fan, the silver The tickets were scattered on the table.
"Yinu, let's forget it." The old bustard smiled. "Miss Yujing is already waiting in the room, the beautiful scenery of the good time, young master, don't delay in front of the slave."
What she meant was that Xu Cong'an would not be redeemed for Yujing.
Just now Xu Cong'an was still hesitating, but when he heard the contemptuous and smiling tone of the old man, he couldn't help but think of that face when he was facing the window of "Master Yan" just now. Nodding and bowing flatteringly.
Xu Cong'an couldn't take this breath.
He had no choice but to hurriedly said: "Can you give me a little more grace? My family sends me tens of thousands of taels every month, and next month's will arrive soon. As soon as the money arrives , I'll make it up for you right away."
He said it was tens of thousands of taels, of course he was bragging.
Although the Xu family is not bad for money, they also know that he loves to spend time and money. Now that he is alone and doesn't want to go home, his father has reduced a lot of his food and clothing expenses, so as to use this method to force him back to Chang'an.
But even so, Xu Cong'an only received two or three thousand taels of silver every month.
Two or three thousand taels of snowflake silver is indeed enough for him to be happy here and spend his days, but not enough for him to buy back a brothel girl at such a sky-high price.
But it doesn't matter, isn't there Guo Rongwen here?
The man was a dog raised by his father and grandfather, and he was very obedient. What he said, that person dared not do nothing. A while ago, I asked him to get 80,000 taels of silver, and he got it as soon as he said it.
Nowadays, Jinling City is suffering from disasters, but a lot of money is taken out. That official was the one who was in charge of money. The money was passed from his hands, and he took out a few thousand taels from it to give him an emergency. What trouble could it be?
So when Xu Cong'an said this sentence, he was very confident.
"What did the son say. Is it possible that the slave family doesn't want to open the door to do business? Yujing girl is the heart of the slave family. If she can find a good person for her, it is not impossible for the slave family to suffer a little. "
Speaking, she tapped on the table, and a maid brought a pen and paper.
"Either so. The Qian Nu family accepts it, and the Yujing girl's people are also handed over to the son. But the price is from the son, and there is no reason to bargain at this time. Documents, as long as the money can be repaid within three months, this account will be written off, and the slave family will not even pay a cent of interest," she said.
Xu Cong'an doesn't care about any interest, he only knows that the old woman can let him take people away on credit.
Xu Cong'an promised, and immediately set up a document with the maid, signed and signed.
Beijing.
The old man watched him leave, and when the door was hurriedly closed by Xu Cong'an, she laughed softly.
Another maid hurriedly brought the box and asked the maid to put the note in it.
"Mom can be considered to have done this." The girl said. "That noble person and the subordinates sent by that noble person are all scary, and the servants are worried all the time!"
Xu Cong'an signed in a hurry, but did not notice that the document was written very clearly, where and how much he bought an oiran, how much he paid, and how much he owed. , clearly.
The IOU doesn't have to be so detailed, but he signed the IOU to confirm today's events completely. If something were to happen in the future, just taking out this IOU would be the most powerful evidence.
The old bustard carefully put the note in and said with a smile, "Yeah, it's finally done."
Speaking, she counted out part of the bank note, and put the rest into the box.
"Mom, are you...?" The maid was puzzled. "Didn't the noble person say that he only needs the credentials, and the rest of the money will belong to your mother?"
The old lady glanced at her.
"Do you know how much Yujing can earn?" she asked.
Although Yujing is beautiful, she is not really talented. For a brothel girl in the south of the Yangtze River, looks are not enough. If you want to be a courtesan or a high-class waiter, you must have a lot of music, chess, calligraphy, painting, dance and poetry.
If the noble person hadn't come early, picked out Yujing, and spent more than a month, specially invited a musician to teach her a drum dance, Yujing would not have sold so high price.
At that time, the face is no longer, the flowers are ruined, and it is a blessing to find an ordinary merchant to marry.
How can she make so much money, and how can Yujing be bought by a straw bag at a young age, and have she lived in the days of brocade clothes and jade food?
The bustard took 30,000 taels and sealed the rest in a box.
"Jinling was hit by a catastrophe, and there are many places to use money." She slowly closed the box and said. "I shouldn't have taken this extra silver. It's useless in my hands, but if you put it in the hands of the noble, it can save lives."
Speaking, she slowly shook the fan and looked out the window.
In the dark of night, Chunshui Alley is lit up with colorful lights and luxurious. There are qinzheng and pipa, and the extravagant Jiangnan minor, mixed with the intoxicating fragrance of powder and wine, lingering in the night.
Under the lights, merchants and dignitaries come and go in an endless stream.
The prostitute smiled softly.
"Quan should be my low-ranking life, and accumulate virtue for myself."
