Chapter 480 Secret Meeting
I have to say that if you want to make money as the Prince of the Prime Minister's Mansion, it is really easy.
In just a few days, a huge research fund of eight million taels has been raised for the fourth sister. If the girl saves this money, she will not have any funds in at least the next two years. question.
When I walked out of the **** shop called Chang'an, the sky outside was already darkening.
However, as the headquarters of the Cheonan Chamber of Commerce is located, the streets outside are still busy with traffic, and the lights with various inscriptions are like the neon lights of the city in the past life, vividly displaying the desires of the night.
“Third Young Master, I have no reason to go to the Prime Minister’s Mansion to see you back today.”
In the carriage, Wang Yuqian asked cautiously: "Are you going to follow the old man back home tonight?"
Sitting by the window of the carriage, Xu Yuan was blowing the cold wind, and the prosperity of Di'an was reflected in his dark eyes.
Everywhere you look, there are casinos, brothels, and wine shops, where all kinds of people are having fun.
After hearing the inquiry, Xu Yuan did not look back. He still looked at the scenery on the street and replied casually:
“I don’t have anywhere I want to go tonight.”
Wang Yuqian became obviously nervous after hearing this, and whispered quickly:
“With the inquiry from His Highness the Crown Prince today, if the concubine dares to offend the Young Master again, I will definitely punish him severely.”
Hearing this, Xu Yuan glanced at the other party, with a hint of deep thought in his eyes.
This is not the first time he has been to the little old man Wang Yuqian's home. After all, he is now the other man's illegitimate son. He has been there two or three times in the past few months.
But the other person’s house is quite messy.
The big house, the second house, the third house, and a group of concubines perform palace fighting dramas in the courtyard of the deep house every day.
I remember that the first time I went to this little old man's house, Wang Yuqian held a reception banquet for him. Everything went smoothly, until when we were drinking tea after the meal, the old man with a somewhat mean charm suddenly suddenly He asked Xu Yuan to kneel down and serve tea to all the elders.
This is a very normal process for illegitimate children to recognize their ancestors and return to their clan, but it almost frightened Wang Yuqian, who was sitting on the throne, to the point of losing his breath.
However, because he could not reveal his identity in the slightest, Wang Yuqian could only say some words of refusal at the dinner to get rid of the matter, and then kowtowed to his prodigal wife in private to apologize.
Xu Yuan did not take it seriously because he knew that this was the normal situation faced by illegitimate children in this era.
But Yuqian seems to have been worried that he would keep this in mind.
after all,
His temper is very famous in Di'an City.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan suddenly felt that he might as well spend the night outside.
Although it is a brand new experience to experience house fighting, after all, this thing is a family matter, and it is always not good for an outsider to use his status to make other people's house a mess.
The carriage engraved with the purple and gold pattern representing a third-grade official slowly drove past an elegantly decorated yet grand Qinglou while Xu Yuan hesitated.
Xu Yuan subconsciously raised his eyes and glanced upward at the plaque on it, and then his eyes suddenly focused.
Engraved on the plaque are three large Chinese characters: Ya Cui Palace.
At the entrance of the palace under the plaque, he saw an acquaintance of his again.
“Stop.”
He hesitated and made a decision immediately. Xu Yuan curled his lips, looked at the back, and said with a smile:
“Tonight, I suddenly want to spend the night in Ya Cui Palace.”
Chinglou is not a brothel, nor is it a brothel.
Although the three are easily confused by the world, they are quite different.
Gouran is a meat-and-eat brothel, a brothel is a mixture of meat and vegetables, and a brothel is all vegetarian. The people inside are all good families who sell their skills but not their bodies.
The customer groups they face are also different.
Dayan Tianxia is different from Xu Yuan’s previous life in ancient times. Although it is still a completely patriarchal society among mortals, due to the existence of cultivators, the status of women in the superstructure is not low.
And places like Qinglou came into being for this reason.
After all, if a group of young sect disciples want to go out in search of entertainment, the male disciples can’t just take the seniors and sisters to a place with fireworks like Goulan, right?
The moment you step into the entrance hall, as the carved and decorated lobby comes into view, a light scent of jasmine incense also enters the nostrils. It is fragrant but not greasy, and has a slightly refreshing effect.
Looking around the entrance hall, Xu Yuan's lips curled up slightly.
The guests walking in the Yacui Palace basically all have a good level of cultivation, and many of them have a very high level of cultivation.
Although Yacui Palace is not the largest palace in Di'an City, it is the most expensive one in Di'an City.
The reason is that the most famous prostitutes in the Dayan Dynasty all came from Yacui Palace.
These famous prostitutes are prostitutes in the true sense of the word. They are good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and are good at dancing.
In order to seek a relationship, many celebrities from the sect and wealthy businessmen spent a lot of money on this, and even worshiped her as a goddess.
This is probably the bad nature of human beings, and what is not available is the best.
I remember that he had an unforgettable in-depth exchange with a famous prostitute, made trouble in the Yacui Palace, and was beaten up by the old man Hua Hong.
Now that things have happened, Xu Yuan understands why Hua Hong was so angry at the beginning.
These famous prostitutes are of high value and are not just a cash cow for the Tianan Chamber of Commerce.
Each one of them is carefully selected. Regardless of their appearance or their cultivation base, they are all one in a million. They have been brainwashed since childhood and have become the dead soldiers of the prime minister's house.
The cultivation levels of some of them are not even weaker than those of the sect’s geniuses.
In the not-too-distant future, they may be given as wives to some important people as concubines for surveillance, or they may directly become high-level guests in the prime minister's palace.
With these things in mind, Xu Yuan finally used his spiritual vision to find the person he was looking for in the lobby.
It looks like he is waiting for someone.
Seeing this scene, Xu Yuan's narrow Danfeng eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise.
Over there is the area of Yacui Palace specially set up for guests to wait, but with Li Yunqing’s status as the third prince, it is impossible for him to wait in line, in other words.
Is he here specially to wait for someone?
This is a trivial detail.
This boy could have entered the private room and enjoyed the services of the courtesan while waiting for the guests, but he chose to wait quietly in the lobby.
There are two possibilities.
The visitor's status was very distinguished, so much so that even Li Yunqing could not take the lead in taking the seat.
The second type is that Li Yunqing asked for help from the visitor.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan's eyes showed a trace of thought, and he walked slowly towards the place where the other party was.
“Brother Wang?”
When Xu Yuan walked ten steps away from Li Yunqing, he opened his eyes, looked at the person his brother had personally recruited with slight surprise, and said with a smile: "Are you here tonight?"
Xu Yuan smiled slightly and said softly:
“I came here to buy some items from the Tianan Chamber of Commerce today, and I will take a rest here after that.”
Li Yunqing sat up slightly and smiled:
“That’s a coincidence. I happen to be here tonight to meet a guest from afar.”
Hearing this, Xu Yuan immediately heard that Li Yunqing was telling him to get lost and not to disturb his business tonight.
So, is he leaving?
of course not.
Finally caught the other side, and he was planning to take some advantage of him.
Smiled and sat down opposite Li Yunqing, Xu Yuan asked softly:
“That night when I was talking to His Highness the Crown Prince, he mentioned that Your Highness seems to be going on a mission to Japan?”
Li Yunqing saw the other party sitting down, his brows raised slightly, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.
What he said should be clear, and this person does not seem to be a stupid person.
After a moment of silence, Li Yunqing clicked his tongue in his heart and slowly sat up straight:
“It seems that Brother Wang really values him, and he actually talked about this kind of thing with you.”
He said,
Li Yunqing slowly stood up and turned around to leave:
“The king has something to do tonight, so I won’t disturb the prince’s enjoyment.”
"Snapped."
His wrist was caught by the illegitimate son of the Minister of War.
."Li Yunqing.
The familiar touch of his palm came to his heart. The corners of Li Yunqing's eyes jumped uncontrollably for a moment, and he turned his eyes slightly stiffly.
Then,
He met a pair of smiling eyes.
Oh shit.
Grass.
This hanged man is indeed alive!
There are not many guests in Ya Cui Palace, and few people make loud noises here despite their status. Basically, there are only rustling whispers.
At this moment, these small voices in the ancient and elegant lobby suddenly quieted down quickly.
With a slightly raised brow, Xu Yuan immediately realized that the person Li Yunqing was waiting for had arrived.
Xu Yuan and Li Yunqing almost simultaneously looked back at the door hall, which was polished and carved from vermilion willow wood.
Li Yunqing was cursing her mother in her heart, and there was a hint of pain in her eyes.
A strange look flashed across Xu Yuan's eyes.
The visitor seemed a little out of place with the guests around him, whether it was his appearance or his clothing.
With long golden hair hanging down like a waterfall around her waist, a tall nose, and slender and dense golden eyelashes above her blue eyes, the woman looks like an elf walking out of a painting.
What he was wearing was not Dayan's silk brocade clothes, but an exquisite and complicated waist skirt with concave and convex curves, revealing large areas of fair skin on his collarbones and arms, and there was a Western-style dress on his waist. rapier.
And behind the elf-like blonde woman, there was also a huge human-shaped tin can.
With every step he took, there was a dull metallic friction sound.
ˆ “.”
Seeing this scene, Xu Yuan thought of the internal reference he had seen in the study.
He had always known that the group of sea visitors who invaded Japan had sent an envoy to Beijing, but he did not know that the envoy was a woman, and he did not expect that Li Yunqing, a notorious person, would meet with him in such a high-profile manner.
With his thoughts at this point, Xu Yuan suddenly realized a piece of information.
Li Yunqing seems to be really going to set off to Japan Island on behalf of the Dayan court to intervene in the invasion war launched by visitors from the sea.
