I don't know why, although it was only the second time, Chen Luo felt that he was very familiar with the tables and chairs in the Linglong Building.
After all, it's where he once fought.
Wendou is Wendou.
Don't think about it!
Mrs. Han San led someone to meet Chen Luo from a distance, helping Chen Luo to get off the carriage diligently, her voice was almost full of sweetness: "My uncle, I am looking forward to the night. I'm looking forward to it, and finally I'm looking forward to you. King Xiaojing has been waiting for a long time, come with the old man..."
Saying that, Han Sanniang reached out and tried to hold Chen Luo, Ji Zhong stepped forward lightly and placed himself between Han Sanniang and Chen Luo. Han Sanniang's expression remained unchanged, and she patted her sleeve: "Come on, uncle, I will lead the way for you."
Chen Luo nodded, followed behind Mrs. Han San and walked towards Linglong Building.
……
Before coming here, Chen Luo specifically asked Lu Tong who this Prince Jing was, but if he didn't ask, he was startled.
It turns out that this King Jing lineage is the youngest son of the founding father of Daxuan. Although he is young, his military exploits in the founding of Daxuan are enough to rank in the top three, and the princes are the first. Later, in order to avoid the prince's dispute, he took the initiative to invite Ying and Yongzhen South. The emperors of the past dynasties continued to add seals. At their peak, the fiefs included the entire Jingzhou, half of Wuzhou, and half of Yuzhou in the south, totaling ten prefectures. It can be said that the thirteen prefectures in the world, and King Jing’s lineage monopolized two prefectures.
However, when King Lin was in power, the previous generation King Jing took the initiative to make a statement and resigned from the fiefs of Wuzhou and Yuzhou, and only retained Jingzhou, which was a frontal defense against the Ten Thousand Demons. Later, Emperor Lin was assassinated, which was mixed with too many forces, so that in the end only the culprit was killed.
After hearing the news, King Lao Jing gave an order, and 6,000 dead men ran thousands of miles at night to the place where the culprit's family was located. , One hundred and three Confucian scholars below the Master.
The "Great Profound Law" says: Those who assassinate the emperor will be punished by the clan!
King Jing said: The Great Profound Emperor must not be humiliated!
At that time, when the court was in chaos, Emperor Wu was young, and some people wanted to abolish the emperor. That night, the powerful minister was smashed to death, and there were blood on the courtyard wall—
"The scenery is all loyal and brave, and Jingzhou has all the dead!"
For a time, all officials were in danger.
But apart from that, King Jing's lineage is still conscientiously guarding the southern border of Daxuan, never intervening in other things, and the military order does not leave Jingzhou. Everyone finally understood that, as long as the change of imperial power was not involved, even if the officials of the powers got in the way, King Jing's lineage would not intervene. This vein is the Zhenshan Stone reserved by the founding father to the Ye family of the royal family.
And the little King Jing who invited him today is the prince of King Jing, the next generation of King Jing. Because the queen had to change her name after being enshrined, the name was not important before that. The King of Contemporary King casually named him "Dafu".
"The gatekeeper of the throne!" Chen Luo sighed in his heart, this is not an ordinary prince.
Chen Luo only knew that the prince was a little two years younger than him, similar to Ji Zhong, and also looked like seventeen or eighteen years old. He didn't know why he suddenly entertained him?
However, the appointment in Linglong Building shouldn't be malicious.
"A seventeen-year-old child, if I let go of my tyrannical arrogance, I might be able to worship and recognize a brother!"
Chen Luo thought to himself.
……
"Little Prince, look, this is the cost of this treat..."
A cashier handed a piece of paper to Ye Dafu, still explaining—
"I heard that it is to entertain Wan Anbo, and the top ten brothels in Zhongjing have all given the room as a gift, and the girl is free. But this Linglong Building is the most realistic, and it also pays 2,000 taels of money in private."
"Everyone in Qu Le, Luo Hongnu, heard that Wan Anbo was coming, so the appearance fee was waived."
"However, always use some treasures to show your sincerity. So I made my own decisions and brought out a pot of the drunken fairy brew that you brought from the palace. I also brought some meat from some rare and strange beasts, which is convenient for cooking. Delicious food."
"So, excluding the things brought from the palace, let's make a net profit of 2,000 taels?"
"Of course not! Now Wan Anbo's name has been chasing Liu Jingzhuang in Zhongjing Qinglou. There are oiran in other brothels who also want to see Wan Anbo's style, so they offered five hundred taels of silver per person, and entered Linglong Building as the entourage of the little prince. , a total of six, this is three thousand taels!"
"Furthermore, I also agreed with Mrs. Han Sanzi. In the past, the entry fee for Linglong Building was 100 taels, but today it is increased to 200 taels. The extra 100 taels will be divided into half between Linglong Building and King Jing's Mansion."
"I have already spread the news that Wan Anbo came to the banquet, and I specifically mentioned that there may be more masterpieces coming out. Those obsessed with "Swordsman" and Confucian scholars who love romance will inevitably flock to it. According to the estimate, a The income of a thousand liang is more than enough."
"In this way, this time the little prince invites Wan Anbo to the banquet, and he will earn a guaranteed net profit of 6,000 taels!"
"Furthermore, the other nine brothels promised that if the little prince has a way to invite Wan Anbo to sit with them, this opening will cost a thousand taels..."
When Ye Dafu heard this, a satisfied smile appeared on his face: "This Wan Anbo is really my fortune star... Later, I must worship him and become brothers."
Chengyu, who was standing on the side, looked a little ugly and turned her head away.
This little prince, everything is good, and his temperament is pure, but... he cares too much about gold and silver.
Ever since I accompanied him to Beijing, I didn't see him spending extravagantly, so I watched him staring at the palace to make money. Twenty thousand taels are not too much, and 12,000 taels are not too little, sometimes even King Jing's face is lost.
But when I asked him why he wanted money, he laughed again and didn't answer.
I wrote a letter to King Jing to complain several times, and King Jing replied with only two words: let him go!
Maybe it's a child's temperament.
Thinking of this, Cheng Yu thought of Chen Luo who he had rescued before.
Unexpectedly, in a short period of time, he would have such a great reputation in Zhongjing. I thought it was the disciple of Mr. Zhulin Fourth, but I didn't expect it to be that disciple.
Looking at Ye Dafu's round body, and seeing his smile staring at the harvest list, Cheng Yu sighed softly.
"It would be great if the prince could also learn from Wan Anbo's genius..."
……
Linglong Building Spring Lookout.
This is the place where the geisha took a rest before taking the stage to perform. Through a window, you can see the elegant room on the opposite side, hence the name Chunwang.
At this time, Luo Hongnu was already dressed properly. This time, she deliberately tidied up. Although she was still wearing a red dress, she tied an acacia button on her head This button is two rings intertwined to tie her long hair into two The strands are pierced from the ring, but they end up in a bunch. Because it resembles a pair of lovers intertwined, it is named Acacia buckle. In the early years, it was mostly used by women who had a lover in their hearts, and later by the girls in the boudoir. To imitate, take the meaning of looking forward to love.
"Is this lovesickness button too frivolous?" Luo Hongnu felt like a deer in her heart, but shook her head again, "My uncle gave me the "Lovesickness Song", and I tied this lovesickness button at the right time."
"He's just a big man, can he pay attention to my hair accessories? Would you like me to remind him?"
Thinking of this, Luo Hongnu became a little worried about gains and losses.
……
In the hall of Linglong Building.
The two gentlemen in Tsing Yi paid the entry fee, entered the Linglong Building, drank the turtle slaves who came to greet them, and found a corner to sit down.
"Brother Pan, do I really want to provoke Wan Anbo? I heard that Qian Erkang was expelled from the academy, and he can't even go back home. It's quite miserable now..."
The man called Brother Pan had a goatee and said, "Nonsense, of course I know. But the prince intends to recruit Wan Anbo, which will affect the status of the one above us."
"That person has thought of this strategy since he learned that King Xiaojing had invited Wan Anbo to dinner. It can be said that he is invincible."
"I still have to rely on that person to eat after all, don't I?"
"Besides, the matter of the scholars is just asking for advice, not like Qian Erkang's tit-for-tat! Don't worry."
Hearing what Brother Goat Hu Pan said, the other person breathed a sigh of relief, and at this moment, cheers came from the Linglong Building. The two looked at the prestige and saw that at the gate, under the guidance of Han Sanniang, Chen Luo in a plain Confucian shirt walked in...
