Chapter 169 True Love and Falsehood
Xinfei, these two words are like a spell, firmly occupying Jiang Anyi's heart. No longer can see the beauty of the flower, nor can they hear the wonderful sound of the soul. In my heart, my mind was full of Xinfei's smile, and longing was surging like a tide, drowning Jiang Anyi in it.<
It's been eighteen days in a year, and Xinfei has no news. This is the first time Jiang Anyi has heard about Xinfei. The two words bring up so many sweet memories. When Jiang Anyi comes to his senses, Lian'er has finished singing, and the maid is holding the silver plate in front of him.
Perhaps because of Lian'er's order, the maid stood in front of Jiang Anyi and held the plate to look up and down at the famous person in the brothel. Jiang Anyi was embarrassed, and he gave all the money in his pocket, and he couldn't take advantage of the remaining few taels of silver. Yu Qingle was deeply in love with Lian'er, and he couldn't wait to devote all the pocket money he had saved for several months. Regardless of his brother-in-law Zhang Yucheng's presence, everyone tried to give the money together. Zhang Yucheng rolled his eyes on him and ignored him. Yu Qinghuan gritted his teeth and gave him five taels of silver, but was complained that his younger brother was too stingy.
Yu Qingle placed all his hope on Jiang Anyi. He knew that his father's disciple was a God of Wealth. Seeing that Jiang Anyi had not moved for a long time, Yu Qingle was a little anxious and shouted: "Anyi, give it money quickly. For my sake, I can't give it less."
Carrying a few gems with him, in order to learn about Xinfei's news, Jiang Anyi gritted his teeth and took out one from the bag and put it on a plate. The gem as big as a fingernail emitted a dazzling blue light under the light, like a dream and beautiful. The moonlight and light were taken away by this small gem at this moment.
Suddenly, the courtesans spend a lot of money every year, but it is rare to take a precious and huge sapphire like Jiang Anyi. Not to mention that everyone in the shed was stunned, Yu Qingle stood aside and couldn't speak. After a long time, he bulged his eyes and said, "Anyi, you won't have any ideas about Lian'er, right?"
Jiang Anyi was amused and crying. He originally wanted to get a gem of average quality and size from the brocade bag, but it was difficult to take out the brocade bag to pick it up in public. He took a little from his clothes and put it on the plate and found that it was the best one.
Of course, the things given were not recycled. Jiang Anyi waved his hand to signal the stunned maid to leave, and explained with a wry smile: "There is no money on you, so I can just take something to make up for the number, but I didn't expect to get it wrong."
Zhang Yucheng and Yu Lehuan sighed. Yu Leqing put down his mind and smiled. Jiang Anyi smiled bitterly in his heart. He didn't want to show off at all. It would be worthwhile if this gem could be exchanged for Xinfei's news.
A moment later, someone announced loudly, "Miss Lian'er in Manchunyuan gets 10,700 taels of silver."<
As soon as the words fell, it immediately caused a lot of noise. More than ten thousand taels of lottery tickets were not common in the courtesan. Especially this girl Lian'er was not very outstanding, and her name was not included in the candidates who competed for the courtesan in advance.
Before Lian'er, Chuchu, who had the most silver, got 8,400 taels of silver. This Chuchu girl was not only beautiful, but also had a great singing voice. She originally wanted to compete for the courtesan tonight, but was unexpectedly brought by Lian'er girl.
In the warm cabinet, Lian'er herself didn't believe this number. She knew that she was not as good as Chuchu, and she was older than Chuchu, and her singing voice was not as good as Chuchu. Although she had lyrics written by Jiang Anyi, Bihonglou also spent a lot of money to ask Li Jinxian to tailor a lyric for Chuchu. How could it be more than Chuchu's 2,000 or two lottery tickets?
Just as he was happy and suspicious, the madam Wan Niang walked in with a smile on her face and congratulated her repeatedly: "Miss is so happy. Maybe she can surpass all the celebrities tonight and win the courtesan devil in one fell swoop."
Lian'er's eyes were attracted by the sapphire in the middle of the plate. The crystal blue light naturally had a bewitching function. Wanniang looked at the sapphire enviously and smiled: "This gem was given by Mr. Jiang, and the estimated price is more than 6,000 taels. Lian'er, will Mr. Jiang fall in love with you? Mr. Jiang is young and rich, and has outstanding knowledge. This is a good opportunity that you can't find even with a lantern. You have to hold it hard."<
Lian'er smiled bitterly. Wanniang didn't know that Jiang Anyi was willing to spend a lot of money for the sake of a message. He really responded to the easy-to-get priceless treasure and hard to find a lover. Unexpectedly, Mr. Jiang was a seed of infatuation. Lian'er practiced in brothels, saw so many false feelings and acted in many scenes. The more he did this, the more he cherished the true feelings. Jiang Anyi's sapphire touched Lian'er, not because of its value, but because of his love.
Wanniang's unintentional words touched Lian'er. Jiang Anyi was a good partner in any aspect. Her senior sister was chosen as a saint and practiced far away in the Tianli Mountains of Bingzhou. She had no time to take care of Jiang Anyi. Why not take advantage of the situation? Senior sister, I have never been able to compare with you since I was a child. This time I won the battle for the saint. But I lost it and took it to Sangyu. If I could take Jiang Lang into my arms, I wonder if you would regret fighting for the saint.
Not to mention Lian'er's secret plan, the competition outside was still in full swing. Jiang Anyi passively made the limelight, silent and no longer offered rewards. However, Jiang Anyi did not want to show off, but the limelight came to the door. A group of young men came to the door with folding fans and lanterns.
Yu Qingle's face changed. The few he recognized were famous young masters in the capital. Jiang Anyi also knew one of them, which was Wang Zhizhi, who had taken his "five hundred taels of silver", followed him with resentment.
"Young Master Huang, Young Master Liu, Young Master Wang, Brother and others are here to play." Yu Qingle stood up and said hello.
"Who am I thinking, Yu Er. I heard that someone rewarded Lian'er with a gem, which was very valuable. I disturbed my brothers and girls. I want to see who else in this capital can be more generous than our brothers. Is it you? Yu Er, I heard that you were fascinated by Lian'er. Could it be that Lord Zun became the Minister of Revenue and moved all the money from the treasury to his home?" The man kicked his legs on the bench, scratching his head with the folding fan in his hand, and he looked like a slut.
When talking about Yu Zhijie, Jiang Anyi and others couldn't sit still. Yu Qinghuan said angrily: "It's unreasonable to speak loudly."
Zhang Yucheng even slapped the table and angrily shouted: "I am unrestrained and ignorant of important officials. You are so brave. Don't you know that Wang Fasenyan?"
The man looked at Zhang Yucheng's blue cloth robe at the first glance and said contemptuously: "Where did you come out? Look at you, you are so poor that you can't get the gems, so get out of here."
A cold light flashed in Jiang Anyi's eyes and he said coldly: "The gem is mine, what do you want to do?"
The man put down his feet, stood up straight, tilted his head and asked, "Brothers, do you know who this kid is?"
Wang Zhizhi said in a vain and uneven manner: "Minister of the Ministry of Rites, 'Erlangzi' Jiang Anyi."
"Oh, you are the top scholar who can write two lyrics. I have been longing for a long time." The man smiled and bowed to Jiang Anyi, curled his lips and said, "I am willing to give a bitch a gem. I am very merciful. Since I am so rich, I will lend two entries to my brothers to spend time."
Yu Qingle took a step forward and whispered to Jiang Anyi: "This person is Liu Xinming's youngest son, Liu Shougui."
It turned out that the enemy was narrow, Jiang Anyi sneered: "I have given the prince 'five hundred taels of silver', do you want it too?"
Of course, Wang Zhizhi would not tell others about the allusion of "Five Hundred Talents of Silver". Seeing Jiang Anyi's eyes swept towards him, Wang Zhizhi subconsciously took a step back. Although Liu Shougui did not know the meaning of "Five Hundred Talents of Silver", he knew that it was not a good thing to look at Wang Zhizhi's expression.
"Good boy, I dare to spend your Uncle Liu, look at the beating." Liu Shougui got used to it, so he raised his fist and smashed Jiang Anyi's face.
When fighting, Jiang Anyi is really not afraid of anyone. The fact that Liao Jianhui was captured by him was only spread in a small way, so Liu Shougui dared to punch him. Perhaps only Wang Zhizhi in this group of people learned how powerful Jiang Anyi was. However, this kid's eyes flashed and he wished that things would make a big deal. Jiang Anyi could not end, so how could he say he could stop him?
Slowly, soft fists swung, Jiang Anyi felt lost. What's the difference between this and adults bullying children? He strode Liu Shougui's fists and Liu Shougui rushed out slanted, overwhelming a piece of table and chairs. The tea and fruits on the table rolled all over the ground, a mess.
Seeing that Liu Shougui was suffering, the others rolled up their sleeves and clenched their fists to go forward. Wang Zhizhi shouted, but moved his steps back and stayed away from the place of right and wrong.
"Stop," and shouted loudly. More than ten yamen runners surrounded a thin old man. The group obviously knew the old man, and they all lowered their heads and turned their faces to dodge. Yu Qingle lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Gao, the prefect of Jingzhao."
The shadow of the famous tree of a man, Gao Yi, Naojiang Anyi, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, was well-known. "The court was strong and resolute, and the nobles and officials were very afraid of it and were restrained." Today, when this man appeared, all the nobles were scattered in birds and beasts, it seemed that the reputation was indeed true.
The colored sanctuary was right beside the platform, and the chaos was like a sing and dancing stopped. Everyone squeezed over to watch the fun. Gao Yizhi frowned. If there were too many people crowded and the stampede and hurt people, it would be out of control. Gao Yizhi ordered: "Take all these people back to the yamen and wait for me to interrogate tomorrow."
The yamen runners were sent to the death, and although they knew that these people could not be offended, they still laughed and said good things. The nobles did not dare to resist, so they had to follow the yamen runners with a frown. Jiang Anyi and others were no exception. This unrestrained disaster came in no way."
"Old Gao, you are scaring the children again." Duke Shen's voice sounded, and this duke rushed over to see the fun. "You can just scold a group of kids. If you have any questions, go and ask them to let them go, so that your Jingzhao Mansion will not be safe tomorrow. Don't be stubborn, Lao Gao, I'll help you know if you know."
Wang Kefu laughed and persuaded him again. The yamen runners looked at the prefect Gao. Gao Yizhi really didn't want to be troublesome. He waved his hand along the steps. The noble men cheered and gave a gift to Duke Shen and left in a hurry.
Jiang Anyi and others also bowed. Wang Kefu waved to Jiang Anyi and smiled and said, "You can really cause trouble. If you don't have me tonight, you will get Lao Gao's prison for a night. Come to my shed. I have something to say to you. Lao Gao, don't be stern. The courtesan will be together. As usual, you will be able to draw 10% of the flowers. It seems that it will not be less than 5,000 taels tonight. I'll be happy to have money and smile."<
Gao Yizhi was speechless and smiled helplessly, "Dude, you can say that you are alive if you die with your mouth. It would be useless if you don't go to Guanglu Temple."
Turning his face to look at Jiang Anyi, Gao Yi's straight face became stern again, and he said coldly: "You are Jiang Anyi. I was optimistic about you before, but I didn't expect that you and these young men would win the battle, which disappointed me too much."
